Ever since Henry became an Arcanist, he has been hiding in the Mage Tower and conducting various spell experiments. Especially those newly mastered level 9 magic, which require a lot of connections to increase the casting speed. After all, this is the second life of a mage, and it is not a good thing to rely too much on those "spell matrix", "spell sequence" and other smooth magic.

Just when Henry was obsessed with exploring the depths of magic, a message from Robert pulled him back to reality. In recent times, the number of Sawa fishmen along the coast of the Jianwan area has begun to surge. Although the attack has not yet been launched, it has already threatened several important maritime trade routes.

Seeing this information, he hurriedly stopped his research and immediately sent someone to inform Corey and ask Hawke to prepare accordingly. While it is unlikely that the Sawa Fishmen will invade land, they are very fond of plundering harbors. These creatures are said to be violent and bloodthirsty, and everything they pass is in ruins.

More than an hour later, Hawke and Corey arrived at the Mage Tower at the same time. For those who live by the sea, there is nothing worse than this. If there is a real attack on the port, then the only thing that can be done is to evacuate all the people and supplies near the port.

"Your Excellency, may I ask if this information of yours is accurate? I've lived on the West Coast for so many years, and I've never heard of a Sahua fishman attacking a port. As soon as Hawke entered, he hurriedly asked.

Looking at the old man's eager look, Henry nodded with a wry smile. "I hope it's fake, too, but it's a warning from Robert himself. He has been in charge of the intelligence agency for so many years, and he has never made a mistake. ”

"Damn! What are these robbers of the sea going to do? They don't really want to invade the land, do they? Hawke cursed fiercely and continued to ask.

Henry thought for a moment what he saw in the book and shook his head. The Sawa Fishman can't stay out of the water for too long. Otherwise, the skin will begin to dry out, become dehydrated, and eventually die. They are simply not adapted to live on land. Therefore, a large-scale invasion of the inland can be basically ruled out.

Corey took two steps forward, bowed, and said solemnly, "Your Excellency." I advise you to plan ahead. It will take a long time to evacuate the inhabitants of the coast or to organize an army to resist. According to the number projected on intelligence, they can capture almost any port along the coast. And many ships also need to be towed ashore and hidden, otherwise they will all be scuttled. ”

"That's right. I now give you the right to mobilize all the armies of the entire Baldur's Gate and to establish a line of defense about a kilometer along the coast as soon as possible. In addition, I will have thirty mages and twenty druids under your command, and remember to keep these spellcasters safe. Each of them has not come easily. Henry gave the order on the spot.

Hearing that there would be a spellcaster, Corey happily immediately gave a military salute. "Rest assured, Your Excellency. As long as I have a breath of air, I will never break through the defenses of these sea bandits. Also, can your airship be mobilized? We can throw exploding gas canisters, fiery oil, and javelins from the sky, and since we are at high altitude, the Sawa Fishman has no way to fight back. ”

"Of course, you can mobilize it for war at any time." Henry readily agreed to the request. That airship was originally intended for military use, and it was just right to test the power of these fishmen. You must know that he has spent a lot of money on this, and he has spent more than 200,000 gold coins on materials and enchantments alone. The casing of the airship airbag is so strong that ordinary bows and arrows and javelins simply cannot shoot through it.

Corey got what he wanted and left the Tower. He still has a lot to do. There's simply no time to waste here. Seeing that the knight had left, Henry instructed Hawke, "You start organizing the evacuation of the inhabitants of the coastal area now." In particular, the port areas of coastal cities have been emptied for me. Not a single plank is left for these robbers. Also, as of today, all maritime trade is suspended, and all supplies are transported by airships. ”

"Even the Ancomé Islands should be ready for war?" Hawke asked, a little puzzled. In his opinion, the Sawa Fishmen were only assembled in Sword Bay, and should not be able to threaten the city of Bluvent in the tropics.

After thinking about it for a moment, Henry nodded. "Yes, inform all coastal cities to be prepared. However, the two cities on the island do not need to be evacuated for the time being, as long as they are on alert. ”

After receiving a clear answer, Hawke also left in a hurry. His task is even heavier than Cory's, after all, most of Baldur's Gate warehouses are alive and well in the port area. And the water queen hall is also a huge hidden danger, God knows whether the chaotic and evil goddess Ambori (the goddess of the near sea) will join the same stream.

Henry sighed to himself. Originally, I wanted to leave for Amm early, but now it seems that it is completely lost. While sending someone to inform the Council of Lords of Waterdeep to get ready, he personally went to the lighthouse on the Sword Coast to check the terrain. After all, on the periphery of the city, this is the only place suitable for large-scale logins.

Looking at the long coastline, Henry frowned. There weren't any dangerous places to defend in the vicinity, and the only thing left to use was the abandoned lighthouse. He walked a little further north along the beach, and suddenly noticed some blue-skinned humanoids running around on the beach. Judging from their bumpy figures, they should all be women.

Henry was very curious about these creatures, and quickly cast a "stealth technique" and quietly followed. When I saw the woman's face clearly, I was taken aback, and it turned out that these dark blue-skinned beauties were all krakens. They are evil sea creatures who like to seduce humans and elves to mate, and kill the father of the child when they become pregnant.

He followed the Siren to a very secluded cave. The entrance is completely covered in seaweed and the like, and if you don't look closely, you can think of it as a normal rock. After the Kraken entered the cave, she exchanged words with her sisters in a strange singing voice, and then began to eat. Their diet is very simple, just ordinary fish, shellfish and seaweed.

Henry waited patiently for more than an hour. It wasn't until all the krakens gathered together that they hid in the corner and secretly released the "Abidaki Death Technique", and the brownish-white mist instantly filled the cave. The female krakens found that the water in their bodies was rapidly decreasing, and they screamed to escape, but the entrance to the cave was sealed by magic and could not be rushed.

In just a dozen seconds, most of the female krakens were slaughtered. For these monsters who take pleasure in abusing and killing humans, Henry has always implemented a policy of killing if he can. He explored the entire cavern carefully, finding not only a large number of human bones, but also a huge iron box hidden in a crack in the stone.

Using the "percussion" technique to open the lock above, Henry found a "Physical Health Handbook", a magic cloak, more than 20,000 gold coins and some miscellaneous items at the back. It suddenly occurred to him that this was the treasure in the game. Both the location and the magical items inside are exactly the same. He unceremoniously used the Physical Fitness Handbook to add a bit of physique, and then used magic to identify the cape.

Cloak of Wolves: "Rylael's Mistake"

The creation of this cloak is full of irony. Relael is a mage who overestimates his abilities. In the process of making this garment, he turned himself into a werewolf. The wearer of this item can change their form at will. But Rylael wasn't so lucky.

Special Abilities:

Arbitrarily incarnate as a wolf

Looking at this magic cloak, Henry had a feeling of crying and laughing. This thing is of no use at all except to help the fledgling rookies escape. A wolf's combat power is very limited, and many veterans can slaughter one at will. After sweeping away the treasure, he returned directly to Baldur's Gate and told Corey of his intention to build fortifications at the lighthouse.

The next day, an army of 400 men marched from the city to the vicinity of the lighthouse and began to build an earthen wall. They had to complete all the construction within a week. According to Robert's latest information, the army of Sawa Fishmen has begun to march towards the coastline. The robbers destroyed all the ships along the way and slaughtered the crews on board.

Seeing that things had deteriorated to such an extent, Henry didn't care if there would be a panic, and immediately issued an evacuation warning to the whole city. At the speed at which the Sawa Fishman is traveling, it will take up to eight days to reach Baldur's Gate. The civilians were in an uproar when they heard the news, and they quickly packed up their valuables and went around to relatives and friends, intending to return after this time. Even Archmage Habaser immediately sealed the Mage Tower and took refuge inland with a few apprentices. Before leaving, give Henry some magic potions and scrolls.

Anta. By the time Silver Shield got the news, it was already a little too late. He hurried over to meet with Henry, saying that he did not have the strength to guard Baldur's Gate, and completely relinquished the other half of the city.

If it were in normal times, Henry would have accepted it with great pleasure. But now the entire Sword Bay is facing a threat from the sea, and the forces at his disposal are also very tight. I heard that the dock area of Waterdeep City has been breached by the Sawa Fishmen, and all the houses and buildings have been destroyed. According to information from the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, the death toll is as high as 30,000.

Even legendary mages and electors like Kelburn and Lyra couldn't stop the attack of the Sawa Fishman, and Henry didn't dare to expect him to succeed. His goal was simple: to ensure that there was no loss of people and goods as much as possible. The army only needs to hold on for a while to ensure that everyone is evacuated safely.

As the fish-people got closer, the nerves of the people left behind were highly tense. Now there is no one else in the city except the army. Even those ordinary people who didn't want to leave were forcibly sent inland, and Henry had planted a large amount of fire oil and explosives near Baldur's Gate, intending to use this place as a bait to attract all the Sawa Fishmen to the enemy's vitality to the greatest extent.
