Struggle in the Steam Age

"No, everyone can't escape in such a chaotic way, we must organize." Surrounded by a circle of sahuagins, the sahuagin priest with the highest status on the battlefield said to the sahuagins gathered around him. people said. "If we are in such a mess, it will be impossible to retreat back to the sea."

"Your Excellency, let's not think about going back to the sea." Another sofa and human nobleman with four arms carefully raised two crossbows in his hand and looked at the sky and said, "If we don't want to be cut off now If it is broken into pieces, let's find a way to find a place with a barrier over the head."

For the sahuayu people present, the situation can be said to be terrible, because the entire army has collapsed. Although some couch murlocs still wanted to organize, they were quickly defeated by the frightened locah murlocs and the mortar shells falling from the sky.

Especially Nora, who is in the sky now, is like a roaring god of death to them. As long as the little puppet finds that the murlocs tend to gather somewhere below, it will drop a mortar shell and then dive Come down and kill those murloc superhumans who are the core of resistance.

And the two groups of sahuagin that can get together now are also left by Nora under the reminder of Lawrence. According to Lawrence, it is better to think of a way instead of taking risks and swooping down to kill those scattered enemies. Get those monsters together and get serious.

But this time, Nora can be said to be one step too late. Before she came and waited for the group of guys to gather to a certain extent to launch an attack, the new artillerymen spotted the gathered murlocs first. and fired shells. Seeing this scene, the little puppet had no choice but to continue hovering over the battlefield in search of the next target.

"The demon didn't charge down, it seems to have flown away—" Seeing that Nora began to climb towards the sky after halfway through the charge, several sahuagin nobles immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But before they had time to rejoice in recovering a life from the devil's hands, they heard bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

"Boom...boom..." With two muffled sounds, almost all the remaining command structures among the sahuagin were taken over at once, and only the highest-ranking sahuagin priest relied on a magic item on his body. He protected himself and five or six people around him. But even so, he himself was hurt, and at the same time, this magic item was also scrapped.

"Quick retreat—" The priest who escaped from the dead didn't care about the future of the sahuayu people anymore. He just wanted to get out of this hell and run as far away as possible. And the sahuagin nobles around him have already run towards the way they came from at this time.

But the cavalry who were sent to chase just now also arrived, and then they waved their weapons and chopped down at the backs of the fleeing monsters.

Under normal circumstances, these sahuagin superhumans are not afraid of the cavalry who are just ordinary people who are chasing and killing them now, but now that their defenses have been broken by fear, they are easily caught up by the cavalry who are chasing after them like rabbits. fell to the ground.

What was even more unlucky was the sahuagin priest, because the robe made of seaweed on his body clearly showed his identity. So in order to prevent the caster from hurting himself, the cavalry drew out their guns and focused fire on the monster.

As a result, the sahuagin priest who suffered internal injuries was shot more than a dozen times without any resistance, and then fell to the ground like a broken water bag leaking everywhere. Then a dozen horses stepped over his fallen body, trampling the body and the dirt on the ground together.

And the death of the last sahuagin commander on these battlefields also brought the morale of the entire murloc army to the bottom, and then the last batch of sahuagins on the battlefield who still had the ability to counterattack also gave up their last hope , and discarded all the belongings on his body and joined the flow of fleeing people.

But escaping is not so easy. Historically, the most serious casualties in those wars often occurred in the retreat after the defeat.

But this time the murlocs didn't even retain the basic battlefield order and organizational structure, so the casualties were even heavier than those of the losers in the past battles.

In the relentless pursuit of the human army rushing out from behind the defense line, these murlocs discarded all their equipment and even their clothing and fled desperately. For them, they don't need any blocking along the way or any tactical requirements. Everyone only wanted to stay farther away from the pursuers behind them, farther away.

For the human army chasing after them, these murlocs who had completely lost everything were their best targets. Under the frenzied pursuit of humans from behind, the corpses of the murlocs paved the entire way along this several thousand-meter mountain path, and in the end, less than 1/10 of the murlocs escaped the pursuit and came to the beach.

But this does not mean that they can escape, because Lawrence used explosives to destroy the cliff at the entrance of the bay, and a large number of stones fell from the sky to completely block the entrance of the bay.

. So now this group of murlocs could only hope that they would be lucky enough to swim across the bay from the attacks of the precision shooters and mortarmen commanded by Lawrence, and then climb over the dam formed by a large pile of falling rocks, and finally escape to the open sea.

If this was a normal war, then the war would end after Lawrence and the others killed the evil god and cut off the support of the land army. The side that knows it will lose will put down its arms and surrender, and then leave the next work to the diplomats of both sides to solve it.

But this is a war between races for living space, and more importantly, the group of sahuagin likes to watch those intelligent creature captives eat them while they are alive, which is really intolerable. Especially before they ate several human sailors who were caught by them in front of the island guards.

Therefore, at the beginning of this war, both the churches and the island's general headquarters issued the highest order, indicating that this war is a decisive battle of life and death, so there is no mercy on the battlefield, and there is no need to leave any prisoners .

And those murlocs obviously knew this too, so they chose to escape across the many obstacles in front of them at the risk of a hail of bullets and a narrow escape.

But in fact, this road is deadly. For the more than 20 ratman precision shooters ambushing around, this time is enough for them to kill half of the murlocs with enough bullets.

Not to mention that when the group of murlocs ran to the newly formed shoal at the entrance with all their strength, they found a group of fully armed tauren waiting for them with giant axes.

The tauren took a few small boats to the small embankment formed by a pile of rocks when the bay was empty just now. They felt that it would be better to wait for the next order than to wait for the next order in a safe place. Go straight to the entrance of the bay to see if there is a chance for them to show their combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, shortly after the group of tauren landed on the shoal, the first group of sahuayu who crossed the bay and came under the embankment formed by the explosion just now also gathered and prepared to charge.

Because there are tauren on the shoal now, the mortars under Lawrence's command did not shoot in this direction in order to avoid accidental injury. So those fleeing murlocs stopped immediately after seeing the first few loka murlocs who arrived here were easily hacked in half by the tauren with a huge axe, and started forming a team under the shallows.

And because the tauren warriors didn't need to be in a hurry, they simply lined up and waited on the shore. Get ready to put an end to each battle on this battlefield.
