Shadow Covenant

Chapter 110 "Assault"

Every second spent in the dirt felt extra long, and the rain was still falling.

Tremor perception makes Woody feel less lonely when he walks through the boundless soil. It feels like hiding under the eaves on a rainy day and listening to the rain hitting the tiles.

He was swimming in the mud like a fish, and when he crossed the tall courtyard wall of the manor in another way from the mud, the feedback from the vibration perception suddenly decreased a lot.

He knew, he came out.

Although there were also rustling footsteps outside the manor, and he could even feel a group of sahuagins stepping on the dirt on his head, but the place here was obviously quieter and more orderly than inside the manor, unlike the inside of the manor. of chaos.

But this also shows that there is indeed a command behind these sahuagin.

Woody, who was in the mud, cheered up and began to search carefully for the direction of the footsteps. If there is no accident, the casters might stay somewhere above their heads, watching the situation of the manor quietly, as Linking them with their belief in gods, they will always put their lives first.

Essentially speaking, he may not even need to do anything this time, and if he scares them, he may make them retreat.

He wouldn't mind doing it if given the chance.

After all, before growing to a sufficient height, melee professions always have natural weaknesses and unknowns when facing spellcasters.

To be a human being, the most important thing is to be mature and stable. I don’t know how many big players who played roles again in previous lives died from a fireball thrown by a kobold tribe, and returned to the land of the Styx without even crying. middle.

Although there is a high probability that priests who believe in Sekora will not be able to fireball, their variant "Jellyfish Tentacle" similar to "Shadow Tentacle" is also difficult to deal with. Blindness, Despair, Despair...

Being tortured by these spells for a round, the consequences are self-evident.

That's why Woody didn't want to confront this group of sahuagin spellcasters unless necessary.

It didn't take much effort to find this group of spellcasters, because Woody traveled less than half a meter from the surface, so when detecting things on the surface, he could listen to the sound fed back from the surface without hindrance.

And in the crackling rain, Woody keenly caught a whimper and the most familiar part of casting spells.

Just hit the caster!
Found you!
Woody was overjoyed.

After sensing the direction of the sound and judging the approximate area, Woody immediately took action, but he was very careful and did not choose to show his head directly. Instead, he stayed 15 meters behind the area where the sound was located, and waited until he got there. Head out of the soil.

The sound of rain covered up Woody's inaudible sound of breaking ground, and with the recovery of vision, Woody quickly saw the picture of the area where the sound was located.

There are three sahuagins who are more solemn than other sahuagins standing next to the artificial fountains used for livestock drinking, which are common on the roads of an aristocratic area, and one of them is meditating. A look of concentration.

Well, maybe this is a weird description, but you can imagine a dog standing upright in clothes looking in a certain direction, and the feeling will come out immediately, so conspicuous that you can tell at a glance that it is different from ordinary dogs.

They are wearing eel skin gowns that are as smooth as silk, pendants made of huge sharp teeth are hung under their necks, and a triangular vine hat made of seaweed is worn on their heads. In communication with Sekora, the bony scepter made of shark skull looks extraordinary.

There is a unique mysterious aura exuding from the whole body, which can distinguish them from those sahuagin warriors who only know how to be reckless.

As for why they all wear the same clothes.

It is because the sahuagin, like the Thoreau, are under militarized management.

The head leader is called the baron, followed by the priests of the temple and powerful individuals at the commanding level of the sahuagin, usually a variant of the sahuagin with four arms. strict requirements.

For example, ordinary sahuagin can only wear clothes made of sea vines, sea otters, dolphins and other animals and plants even if they wear them. On the upper level, priests usually wear moray eel robes, and soldiers are equivalent to leather armor. Eligible to use sharkbone armor made from shark remains.

The distance was not very far, but due to the heavy rain, Woody still looked hazy. When he got closer, he found that besides the three sahuagin near the fountain, there were several fallen ones beside the road. There are as many as three or four people, lying on the ground, motionless, judging from the blood spreading to his feet, they should be dead.

Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be a servant or a groom from the noble district, and he should have met by accident when going out at night, or was directly robbed.

More importantly, these corpses were not complete, some were missing arms, and some had their stomachs directly emptied.

When Woody saw this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Although they were all strangers who had never masked their faces, his instincts made him subconsciously reject this kind of behavior. He turned his head and stopped looking, but the fire in his heart had already ignited, and even the heavy rain could not extinguish the boiling fire in his chest.

Woody quickly approached the group of deserted murloc priests cautiously through the rain and bushes. However, after he narrowed the distance between the two sides to the critical point of ten meters perception, Woody stopped advancing.

Because he clearly knew that any closer to this location, there would be a possibility of being discovered.

Even if the sahuagin priest's perception is on land, it will not be discounted in the slightest. Even if there are environmental factors, he can't get too close.

Woody grasped the distance, and then tried to find opportunities in it.

Taking advantage of this time, he had already canceled the spell on the Thor Stone Ring, and he lay down in a bush near the road.

According to his brief observation, the three priests should not be rigid, because from their eyes, it can be seen that they are all wary of each other, and they all keep a little distance from each other when casting spells.

However, this is true and normal in the corporate culture of the sahuagin.

The reason why the sahuagin have been unable to grow is that after ruling a sea area, as long as no other enemies intervene, they will soon be limited to endless internal fighting, until the original powerful tribes are scattered. If you fall behind, you will stop, and then you will fall into the struggle between tribes until the next unification.

If you can find their respective opportunities to beware, then this time there will be a lot of action.

No matter how bad it is, you can pinpoint the next chance to cast a spell and carry out a sneak attack.

Just kill or wound one of them, as the famous fleeing "fish and run" race in the ocean.

The remaining two pastors definitely did not think about avenging his pastor brother, but thought about how to leave this place according to the nature of the race in the blood.

But even so, Woody was still extremely vigilant, and while carefully observing the surrounding situation, he began to simulate temporary plans such as sneak attack and escape in his mind. This is his usual method, otherwise in the battle, It would be foolish to take one step at a time.

Although the battle has always been changing rapidly, it is impossible to deduce the detailed situation, but it is always clear.

Only in this way can the heart be at ease.

……

It has been ten sea hours since I came to this manor where the gillless species lived.

Cavill, Gusa, and Quevedo, as the three priests who are usually in charge of hunting for their respective wargroups and have a competitive relationship, have reached a rare consensus not long ago.
They decided to retreat.

They don't even need to be intimidated by others, they are already planning to leave.

After not discovering the culprit who killed the three water elements, and the lack of progress in attacking the manor for a while, they have already retreated.

The spell cast by Gusa just now was to use divine magic to tell its sahuagin fighters to stop attacking and return to the clear and charming sea with "meat".

This is naturally good news for those of the same race who are not used to breathing on land with gills, and have no buoyancy to support the gravity of the surface.

"Cavill, it's your turn!"

With one hand propped on the edge of the pool, Gusa, who was half leaning on the head of a fountain horse and closed his eyes in thought, opened his eyes and said to Cavill in the other place.

Staggering this offer when casting spells is the default rule.

After all, in the menarche tribe, the relationship among many priests has become extremely tense recently because of the competition for the officiant. Two priests have died because of this, and they also missed the opportunity to go to the great Sekola hunting ground.

And this time the baron didn't send two sahuagin battle groups led by priests, but three, just considering that the three could restrain each other without delaying the business.

"understood!"

Cavill looked at the gazes of the two fellows, Gusa and Vidok, and slowly closed its inner eyelids, and began to follow the previous steps of Gusa, using the prayer of the sahuagin god to inform it Brothers of the sahuagin warband.

Lord of the Infinite Hunt!

You are the only rebel in the tide, the king of the deep sea who hunts all creatures!

Lord of the ocean, the undisputed savior of the sahuagin, the great Sekora.

Your believers pray to you at this time, please spread my words to their ears through the water flowing around the world.

……

After the ceremony, a mysterious and mysterious power made it clearly perceive a huge local area network, and this power gave it the ability to connect all the nodes below for a short time.

It called softly, calling back the group of fellows who were deeply imprisoned in the manor according to the plan.

Although this is a plan to cooperate with human nobles, for the Baron who wants to control the entire Thousand Seas, it is of great importance to the trade between the two parties, but judging from the unknown situation, this operation is bound to fail in the long run , It is meaningless to sacrifice any more.

It watched a bright light burst open in the endless sky. Obviously, the people in the manor discovered them and notified other humans.

So be it!I have had enough of this gillless city, and the water here is actually bitter.

Just now it curiously took a sip by the fountain, the taste of the water was full of rough metal, not smooth and refreshing like sea water at all.

After the notification, Cavill opened his eyes again, nodded to Gusa, and then turned to look at Quevedo, the meaning was self-evident.

The obviously bloated sahuagin priest also nodded, just stood there and began to recite piously similar praises to Cavill.

Cavill just stared like this, thinking wildly in boredom.

But when it and Gusa supervised each other, Cavill felt a little hungry.

It squatted down without hesitation, it remembered that there were gillless species caught here.

Cavill groped for the "food" with his claw-like claw.

For this not-so-new food, Cavill has already mastered the key.

Gillless species are actually no different from the fish they often eat in the sea. Although they have no tail, they have the same hard head. Although the back spine does not have a fish-like rear fin, it is also protected by strong bones.

And their weakness is the stomach, where it is the softest, with a fingernail scratched, the most delicious thing will flow out, just like eating an oyster, pry it open, sip it, the mouth is full of sweet, thick and attractive The smell of blood.

No, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

He couldn't wait to find the human corpses placed near the fountain. Hunger made his upper and lower jaws subconsciously start to prepare for chewing, but accidentally, the gills of the fish were exposed, as if he had bitten his tongue, and the pain was severe.

So much so that Cavill swallowed several mouthfuls of air before his swim bladder recovered.

At this time, he also saw a corpse lying on the edge of the pool. Judging from the skin on the face, it should be a gillless species with an aged head. It lost its luster in the rain. It was dry and astringent.

Cavill, who is already hungry, naturally doesn't care about this. As a sahuagin priest, it always believes in the motto told to it by the priest.

"Meat is meat!"

However, the moment Cavill touched the gillless animal, it sensed that something was approaching rapidly. The prayer in his ear was not over yet. He subconsciously looked up at Gusa, and Gusa's eyes She also looked at him in astonishment.

Do not!
To be precise, he looked behind him, where the movement came from.

It subconsciously held the food it had just found with one paw, and subconsciously held the scepter of trust as the medium with the other hand, and then turned its head to look.

Cavill's eyeballs the size of a baby's fist shrank suddenly, and was startled by the scene in front of him, and the eye sockets were stuck in pain by the protruding eyeballs.

I saw a gillless man in an exquisite hunting suit stepping on the muddy ground, rushing towards their position with steps that he hadn't even reacted to.

The arc-shaped long blade held by his right hand has cut through the rain curtain all over the sky, and the fierce momentum can be clearly felt even a few meters away.

sneak attack!

As a sahuagin priest, Cavill, or any priest of his kind, has thought about the possibility of being attacked.

Especially when he was alone in a land he didn't like, and was forced to be involved in a gillless battle, he had thought about it countless times.

Therefore, after sensing this freshly baked sneak attack, although it panicked instinctively for a second, it quickly calmed down again.

Because it is a priest, a follower of the King of the Deep Sea.

How could it be possible to be knocked down by a gillless species.

Therefore, through the rain, it showed that trademark grin.

At the same time, it uttered a low-pitched chant, the distance was enough for it to complete a quick prayer.

Be my new food!

Cavill shouted inwardly, and immediately the pool next to it burst into a stream of water.

Seven or eight jellyfish-like water-blue tentacles emerged from the pool and rushed towards the person who came.

——"Kraken Binding"

This is a magical technique that can only be used after reaching the third level of belief communication. Not only is each tentacle powerful, but it can also automatically detect enemies. No matter how you dodge, you can't avoid it. Easy to catch.

Cavill usually uses this method to tame sharks, and his great white shark mount was tamed after he learned this spell.

But what Cavill didn't expect was that the tentacles that could catch the giant shark fell into the air.

The figure suddenly disappeared in front of its field of vision.

It suddenly felt a little bit in its heart, but it hadn't had time to move.

A sharp arc of knife light cut off the rain curtain, and at the same time cut off its head...
