Chapter 56: I Heard That Naga Was Dead?
[Mage Mark Communication] is a simple means of spell communication, as long as the messenger knows how to use spells, but the distance of the transmission is determined according to the caster's spell cultivation.
That night, Duke pretended to go to Stormstorm Harbor to inspect the shipbuilding, and then came to a rocky beach near the harbor. The craggy boulders hide everything well, and even if there is a lump hidden here, it will not be seen casually by the naked eye.
"Come out. Duke said lightly.
"The hosts. Nagawara folded her arms over her shoulders in layers and saluted Duke.
"What's wrong?"
Vala said straight to the point, "The Greyscale Clan is here. They had already reached the reef sea across the valley of thorns, and tomorrow they would reach the sea off Dagger Ridge in the southernmost part of the Western Wilderness. I have asked the old blind man entrenched in the lighthouse of the southwestern and western wilderness to evacuate with his people. It is expected that by the time the sun rises the next morning, they will arrive at our new camp in the Naga of Raging Scales. ”
In the same level, one Naga can easily contain ten fishmen. It's not just a matter of combat power, but also the natural coercion of high-level creatures on low-level creatures, which will make Fish-Man unable to exert fifty percent of his combat power.
Boldly let the fish-man meet the attack, just to send him to death.
Duke raised his chin slightly: "You did a good job. ”
Vala bowed deeply, then said, "And. Congratulations to the master on his promotion. As soon as I arrived near Stormwind, I could feel the surging magic of my master in the imprint. ”
Duke was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled: "Follow me, you won't regret it, you go back first, I'll show up then." ”
Vala nodded, bowed again, and then turned, swaying her long snake's tail, her turquoise figure submerged into the waves of the sea.
Duke looked meaningfully at Vala's back, this female Naga should have kept a hand, she may have suffered some kind of injury before, which caused her strength to drop. Now that I'm out of breath, my strength has recovered a lot. The partiality encounters the formation of the Duke magic circuit.
Vala's thoughts, Duke doesn't care, firstly, his mark can tell Vala his strength and weakness very well, and secondly, as long as Vala can't afford to pay the price of betrayal, then she will always be loyal.
Turning around, Duke went to find Macaro.
The next morning, before dawn, the fishermen were ready to go out to sea.
The docks welcomed a distinguished guest, the earth mage Duke Marcus. Behind Duke were a dozen mercenaries including Makaro.
There is a high platform next to the report bar on the pier, which is usually used to announce important events. Today, Duke stood up, and the blue and white mage robes were so dazzling that many fishermen didn't even dare to look at Duke.
Macaro and his men were dressed in sleek and new leather armor, with daggers strapped around their waists and leggings, typical naval attire.
Duke nodded slightly, and Macaro stepped forward and shouted at the fishermen, "Now, Lord Duke Marcus, the owner of the Pearl Route, a member of the Royal Mage Corps of Stormwind City, and a member of the Earth Mage, has a slightly dangerous big business to do. ”
Slightly dangerous?
Big business?
Looking for us fishermen?
The fishermen were a little stunned, but a little excited. Cargo ships on the Pearl Route enter and leave the port almost every day under their noses. At the beginning, they were hired as novices who didn't have a ship to go to sea, but now those guys are paid twice the salary of ordinary sailors, and they are only on a two-day round-trip short voyage, and they are sent one or two.
There were no fish-man attacks, no naga, no sea beasts, and they were quietly earning wages that were the envy of the fishermen. They were counted down by their families why they didn't catch up with the good times, and they got the first pot of gold in their lives in the pearl route.
The more peaceful the era, the easier it is to stimulate the risk factor in the human body, watching the two mercenaries next to Makaro carry up a large box of gold coins, the fishermen's eyes are worth it.
There are surprises, and there are joys.
Surprisingly, the fishermen's wages are definitely not worth the unit of gold coins.
Happily, it's definitely a big deal.
Makaro continued to shout in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Don't worry, Your Excellency Marcus didn't ask you to do some pirate business. Now, a group of Naga is about to attack your warehouse, and you want you to sink your old fishing boats to the designated place and wipe out the damned Nagas. In return, you will be compensated for a brand new fishing boat of the same size, or you can buy it for 500 gold. Every fisherman who ventures to a shipwreck will be compensated with two gold coins, or 10 gold coins if they are killed. Each person can get gold coins before sailing. ”
The shirtless old man Jackson came to the stage at this time: "Your Excellency Marcus has ordered an additional forty boats from me. The money for the shipbuilding was paid in advance, and you can get any fishing boat you want from me. ”
The words of old Jackson are more convincing than that of Macaro, an outsider.
A fisherman was tempted, and he asked in a trembling voice: "We just need to sink the old fishing boat to the designated place and swim away, so that we can get a new boat and get a bounty?"
"Yes, Lord Marcus will take matters into his own hands to clean up those hateful Nagas, and our mercenary group will sit on the ship behind you to pick them up and bring them back to Stormwind Harbor. Okay, now you need 10 fishing boats, who's coming!?"
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
When a fisherman goes to sea, it is very good to get two or three silver coins on average. And isn't it risky to go out to sea? Fishermen in this year are accompanied by danger all day long, even inshore, there are still huge sharks, fishmen, and sea monsters.
So don't say 10 gold coins, even 1 gold coin will have a lot of people willing to do it.
"Me!"
"Oh my! I've wanted to change that broken ship for a long time!"
Vala didn't know about Stormwind.
The female Naga leader only knew that he was in big trouble.
With Duke's support, she had amassed half of the Fish-Man Clan in the Wild West, and now, half of the shallow bay was filled with more than two thousand of them.
At first glance, such a staggering number is enough to capture a human town. But Vala is well aware that unless Duke is here, these fish-people are a bunch of soft eggs who can only fight with the wind.
A male Naga, who had a long scar on the left side of his face that stretched from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, and who was blind in his left eye, came with a huge trident with a blade wider than a human body.
"High Priest, the latest news is here. Grey Scales had nearly 400 naga come this time, and more than 3,000 fishmen had been driven. We ......"
"Needless to say. ”
