Struggle in the Steam Age

"By the way, what was the enchantment you just had?" Looking at the fierce battlefield below, Lawrence asked Nora through the soul connection. "Why can the enchanted shell overturn that big guy at once? Did you use some kind of cursed power? Or do you have the power of the undead?"

After all, although the extraordinary level of the two giant sea creatures just now is equivalent to the bronze level, but because of their huge size, their defense and vitality are no less than the average silver level extraordinary. It is obviously not easy to kill the other party like Nora silently, so Lawrence has those guesses.

"Neither, my lord." The little puppet said in a slightly proud tone, "I use a new kind of power, which is the same as the one I used to ferment black tea before, only the bacteria used are different. For example, the gray powder just now is some kind of flesh-eating fungus, and the cause of death of those two big guys is the fungal infection in their bodies."

"It sounds very powerful." Lawrence felt a little surprised. He had used some chlorine gas at most before, but he didn't expect that the little doll would directly evolve into a biological weapon. No matter from which point of view, Nora's method is much higher than Lawrence's half-baked steel cylinder that releases chlorine gas.

But soon Lawrence thought of one thing, so he hurriedly asked: "By the way, this fungus is not contagious. Now that the enemy and us are all mixed together on the battlefield, if a large-scale infection breaks out, we will also be unlucky. I Think you should know how dangerous uncontrolled microbes are."

"Of course not, those fungi were cultivated by me in advance. When they split to a certain extent, they will die collectively, and even after death, only a little bit of completely harmless black organic matter will be left. Otherwise, you should be able to see two super large fungi now. The Cordyceps of the No. 1 is stuck in the shallow sea area." Nora shared memories with Lawrence, so she naturally knows how terrible uncontrolled microorganisms are. Therefore, complete preparations have been made before enchanting.

This is the reason why Nora didn't make a move afterwards, because the few shells just now had consumed one-third of her inventory on hand, and the remaining ones had to be kept to deal with the war beasts that might come ashore next, so when facing When these ordinary murlocs and sea beasts attacked, she naturally wouldn't waste these treasures.

After all, she acquired this skill after fighting the event island last time, and she is still not proficient in mastering it. Therefore, before she casts a spell, she needs a large number of bacteria domesticated by her to ensure safety, otherwise there may be some uncontrolled super disease. Compared with the wish of quick victory, she would rather take the most conservative method to ensure safety.

"Well, your approach is the most suitable now." Lawrence also knew the worry of the little puppet through the soul connection, "If you need anything to cultivate those microorganisms, you can tell me, and I will find a way. After all, the other party's There should be more than two large sea monsters, so your help is very much needed."

"Then I need animal meat and blood, at least two tons." Hearing what Lawrence said, Nora was not polite, but directly made her own request. "Because according to my findings, only this carnivorous fungus is safer for the time being, and it takes a lot of flesh and blood to grow this kind of fungal spores."

"When I was on the island, I experimented by collecting some unwanted fish viscera. The advantage of this is obvious, that is, the cost is relatively low. But the disadvantage is that the carnivorous fungus cultivated has a stronger erosion effect on the viscera. Therefore, in a situation like just now, it is necessary to shoot the shell into the opponent's body to achieve the best effect."

"I will give an order to collect the enemy's corpses from the front line." Lawrence said. In this kind of war with wilderness creatures, the cruelty of the battle of civilization can be clearly seen. For example, both sides will use each other's corpses as some kind of resource: civilized creatures One side will use those corpses to summon certain undead creatures or cultivate some magical plants, while wilderness creatures will not only do this, but even generally eat the corpses of intelligent creatures as food.

The sahuagin are particularly savage in this regard. For example, they like to eat the enemy raw while they are still alive during the battle, and then use the screams of these captives to hit the enemy's morale and enjoy it. Correspondingly, civilized races also regard them as beasts when fighting them, and do not need to abide by any rules of civilized warfare.

Therefore, it is normal for Lawrence to use the corpses of the group of sahuagin as fungal petri dishes. Therefore, after he gave the order, some soldiers began to take advantage of the temporarily small number of enemies. The rope of the iron hook hooked the sahuagin corpses that were very close to the front line back to the position.

"The enemy seems to be different this time!" After the stalemate on the battlefield lasted for nearly ten minutes, Lawrence suddenly saw the troops charging towards the shore begin to gather, and then divided into small groups and began to attack the position halfway up the mountain. What is most different from the previous times is that the teams this time are not the mixed teams of the previous ones, but are composed of pure sahuagin.

After discovering the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield, Lawrence immediately ordered to be on alert. The core of the defense is to order some of the standby reserve teams on the three fortresses and the anti-slope positions to enter the first line of trenches. This reserve team is equipped with armor, firearms and corresponding melee weapons. In addition, the reserve team has gathered many extraordinary people.

Sure enough, as Lawrence expected, these unusual commandos rushed past the booth and got into the woods at a small cost. During this process, unless they were hit by a shell at close range or directly hit by an enchanted bullet, they couldn't stop the sahuagin who were rushing forward.

"The group is bloodthirsty, the group accelerates and the water element magic shield, it seems that the sahuayu people have spent their money on this attack." Looking at the sahuayu who add up to more than 300 and are divided into more than a dozen teams Lawrence frowned as the human team climbed up the hillside at an abnormally high speed. "And there are quite a few four-armed sahuagin nobles inside. It seems that this is not just a simple tentative attack."

After speaking, Lawrence led Safir in full armor and they walked out of the fortress and into the trench. And in such a short time, except for the two murloc commandos who were annihilated by artillery fire, the remaining ten commandos all approached very close to the position.

Of course, this does not mean that these commandos have no damage. At least half of the commandos could see significant downsizing, and some looked like they were down to single-digit sahuagin. But because they belong to the core force of the attacking side, they are not directly defeated at this time like those amphibious sea beasts or roca murlocs, but rushed upwards with the weapons in their hands as before.

"The other party has five priests." Nora, who rose into the sky after coming out of the fortress, notified Lawrence through a soul connection. At the same time, she swooped down and released water arrows and arrows at the machine gunners hiding behind a tree. A priest wearing a seaweed robe rushed down from Ghost Bite, and at the same time, a silver-green light stretched out from his hand, turning into a long whip composed of two lights.

"Damn it, why are there still iron plates?" The sahuagin priest who was targeted by Nora released a water arrow that hit the machine gun shield and had to hide behind the small slope with his team members. Together. Just as it said to go back, a volley of bullets hit the place where he had just emerged.

"We can change the direction - be careful of the sky!" The sahuagin noble next to him was about to say something when he suddenly saw the little puppet falling from the sky, so he immediately waved the trident in his hand to try to block the puppet in Nora's hand. Light the whip, and at the same time issued a loud warning.
