Struggle in the Steam Age

"It's a bit strange." Nora suddenly drilled out of the space door and said to Lawrence when there were still a few digits left of these fish eggs. "I can't find five of the fish eggs they mentioned, but I can guarantee that I have brought out all the fish eggs from the cave just now, and there should be no omissions."

"I think it might not be your fault." Lawrence said after thinking for a while. "After all, it was several days ago when the Lokayu elder sent someone to visit, and during this period of time, anything could happen. For example, the sahuagin have the habit of eating other intelligent creatures. Habit. Maybe those eggs were eaten by the sahuagin."

"That's right, what you said is indeed very possible." After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora closed the space door and said to Lawrence, "If that's the case, I think we can go see that Loka now The murloc elders are old. I hope they can instigate those trapped loca murlocs to leave the battlefield after obtaining the fish eggs, and the sooner the better."

When Nora left the cave just now, she saw all the sahuagin patrols around the cave rush into the cave on the seabed as if they had received some news. It was obviously a reaction to some alarms.

Therefore, the loss of Rokayu eggs is likely to be known to the sahuagin by the other party, so Lawrence and the others must act immediately before the other party reacts to prevent the sahuagin from doing anything about it. Make corresponding preparations or even some kind of radical approach.

When Lawrence and the others arrived at the pool that was used as a snack prisoner-of-war camp, the Loca murloc elder was already standing by the pool and waiting for them. After Lawrence and the others explained to him that five fish eggs could not be found, the Loka murloc elder nodded to them with a comprehending expression.

"It's okay, some losses are expected. At least according to the statistics you have now, I can confirm that you have recovered 95% of our fish eggs, which is actually much better than our previous best guess .” Speaking of this, the elder Loka murloc shook the fins on its back.

"Okay, now that you've confirmed this. That means we've fulfilled all the obligations we have agreed upon before." Seeing that the murloc elder admitted that Lawrence and the others had done so in their last operation, After indeed retrieving their eggs, Lawrence said, "Now it's your turn to do your duty."

"Yes, you are right." Hearing what Lawrence said, the Loka murloc elder nodded and said. "And the faster this action is, the better. Although the group of sahuayu people don't value our fish eggs very much, they will definitely take some actions that are not conducive to my compatriots under such a situation of losing all of them."

When Lawrence and the others acted before, the roca murloc elder stayed with the officers under Lawrence to formulate a simple rescue plan. It's just that they didn't expect Lawrence to solve the problem so quickly that the current rescue plan was simply a prototype.

Therefore, when Lawrence asked how he should cooperate, the Elder Loca murloc showed a somewhat confused expression on his face. Then he told Lawrence that their current plan was limited to all the people scattered behind the sahuagin line to join up with the locathians, and then try to encourage everyone to run to the shore.

"For us now, the only way to run to the island is the safest." Speaking of this, the Loca murloc elder showed a bitter look on his face.

"Because we are inferior to those savage sahuagin in terms of combat level and swimming speed in the sea, it is basically impossible to escape from the sea. After careful analysis before, I think our only way out is in the With the help of you land people, I temporarily escaped to the island."

Compared with the sahuagin who are natural fighters, the rokayu are far inferior in terms of combat awareness and combat quality. Therefore, in this case, they have only one way to go ashore.

"If you want to run to the island, I think you can land from this place." After listening to what the Loka murloc elder said, Nora waved her hand and showed a silver light in front of her. The 3D projection of Vieques Island, and then pointed to a bay seven or eight kilometers away from the peninsula where Lawrence and the others are now located.

"I started mapping the geography of the island as soon as I came here, and I had already mapped the topography of the entire island when the battle officially broke out, so the sand table I'm showing you now should be very accurate." etc. When everyone present was focusing on this map, Nora said, "From this map, if you really want to take refuge on the island, this bay should be the most suitable for you."

The bay that Nora refers to is an island on the island that is very close to the urban area. Small bay, after she enlarged the pattern of this place. Lawrence found that the bay was surrounded by cliffs, which looked as if they were forcibly carved out of the cliffs. However, because of the existence of these cliffs, they blocked the wind and waves in the open sea, so no matter how strong the wind and waves outside were, this The waters inside the harbor will be very calm.

"This place was originally a tourist attraction under a resort, but because of the war, the resort was temporarily closed, so it was naturally vacant."

Nora explained to everyone, and then pointed to the sandy beach facing the entrance of the bay. "Think about it, a calm tropical sea. Beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish, plus a piece of golden sand, this should be the most perfect tropical beach."

"The weather is calm? Then why didn't anyone build a harbor here?" The naval officer nearby asked a little puzzled. Such an almost completely enclosed port is not suitable as a civilian port, but I think it should be very good as a military port.”

"Because the water depth in this place is really too shallow." Nora said, "The average water depth in the entire harbor is only a little over three meters, and there are a lot of corals and reefs. From the perspective of tourism, these coral reefs And the marine life it attracts is beautiful, but it's an absolute disaster for ships."

"But if it's just a temporary shelter for the Roka murlocs, this place can be said to be the best place." Nora said, pointing to the map. "Basically, the murlocs can't leave the water for a long time, so if the refuge is a bay, it can facilitate the lives of the murlocs during this time."

"At the same time, in this place, especially the water depth at the entrance is very shallow. If those big sahuagin want to pass through, part of their bodies must be exposed to the water. In this case, we can easily block the entrance of the bay Prevent the sahuagin from invading, and the sahuagin that are out of the water will also make it easier for us to attack them."

"More importantly, according to my previous investigation of the movement of the murloc army, I found that this bay is much closer to you than the other alternatives, so if you flee, the chances of escaping to this place will be higher. A bigger one can also help more of your compatriots survive. And after you arrive, this place will also be convenient for the city to deliver supplies to you."

"If that's the case, then choose this place." After listening to what the little puppet said, the Loca murloc elder made a decision directly without discussing it with others. "Except for two of us staying here, the rest of us will return to the ocean with me to inform our compatriots and mobilize them."

After speaking, the sahuagin elder took off a palm-sized fish scale from his chest and handed it to Rouse. And told him that when he contacted his compatriots and started to act, he would let this fish scale spontaneously ignite. At that time, Lawrence can take people to the bay for cover, and Lawrence also took out a coin and broke it in half as a token to give him.

After everything was explained, the Loka murloc elder quickly returned to the sea with his subordinates. If there is no accident, everything will be settled within two days.
