our family is gone

Although a little strange, these people are Hamlet's navy.

Lance took most of the people away, but the two hundred newly formed navy were still stationed at the port.

The main reason they stayed behind was to be wary of pirates, and even Lance probably didn't expect the monsters to come.

It seems that it really hurt the ancestor, otherwise the fishmen would not leave their lair and go around in such a big circle to attack Hamlet.

However, this hand happened to leave a foundation for Hamlet, so that he would not be penetrated by the invading fishmen at once.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the regular army is not comparable to that of the militias, not to mention that they also have muskets.

The entire coast, even the darkness that cannot be illuminated by torches, is filled with dense black shadows, and they are even crawling out continuously.

There is no need to aim at all, just load and shoot. Within a hundred yards, the lead bullet bombardment can easily tear the fish scales covered with mucus. Even the hard fish head does not exceed the physical limit in front of the lead bullet.

Two hundred people were divided into four rows, forming a continuous barrage. The damage caused was much easier than that of the cultists. Even if it was not fatal, it was enough to make them temporarily lose their ability to attack. After all, the cultists did not have the power of flesh and blood. How many.

Every time the gunfire exploded, a murloc fell down, tearing apart the murloc formation like mowing grass, and even slightly suppressed their forward tendency.

If there are a thousand musketeers, it is not a problem to defend the coast. If the artillery is here now, it will be more comfortable. This intensive charge formation can be cleared directly with one shot.

But the problem is that they only have two hundred people, and they only have flintlock muskets.

Everyone knows the quality of today's muskets. Due to the material limitations, it is difficult to support high-intensity firing, otherwise it will easily explode due to overheating.

If skilled gunners can adjust the gunpowder to reduce the power in exchange for more shots, but they use fixed-load ammunition, these soldiers have no idea at all.

But even if they had, they couldn't tell what they were thinking. The battle was so fierce that some people had already given up their hot spears and were preparing to use pistols.

All they could do was slightly block the progress of those fishmen.

But death and injuries could not slow down the murlocs. They quickly adapted to the explosion of fire, and those murlocs knocked down by bullets were quickly filled with new ones.

Even if the soldiers retreat alternately, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer and closer. Hamlet has even lost the coast and even spread to the port pier.

But the delay was effective, more militiamen answered the bell, and those of the Coast Patrol were reintegrated.

It is no joke that Hamlet has all the people in arms. This place says that he has fought fifty battles, which is definitely false, but Hamlet must have fought more than five battles.

Those battles caused trouble but also made people here actively participate in militia training, and at the same time stockpiled a large number of weapons that had been eliminated by the army.

Among those who came here were some veterans. Some of them were not even militiamen, but they came without hesitation after hearing the amplified alarm bell.

After retiring, he was assigned a suitable or relatively easy job by the lord, and he still received the disability allowance from the lord every month.

If it were normal, it would definitely not be their turn, but they also found that all the troops in this town had been transferred. At this time, they had to stand up.

The fact that they retired due to disability is enough to show that only missing arms and legs can make Lance unable to do anything. The soldiers who were forced to retire had limited combat capabilities due to their mutilated limbs.

But it does not mean that they are useless. Many of those experienced veterans were originally instructors in militia training. Their arrival spontaneously controlled the team, and there were constant shouts and encouragement to dispel their fear.

"Pick up your spears and thrust them hard!"

"Hold on to your weapons and work with your teammates, just like in training."

"Unite! The monsters can't break up our formation!"

"For Hamlet!"

People are very strange. When someone stands up, others will instinctively rely on the past. At the same time, when the number of people increases, the environment will dominate their will. With the encouragement of the brave, fear will be quickly dissipated.

"For Hamlet!"

"For the lord!!!"

Everyone was roaring at the top of their lungs, and the response almost resounded along the coast. Even the fishmen couldn't help but hesitate, wondering why the food suddenly went crazy.

Fanaticism is contagious. Warmth surged into his heart. The fear just now was swept away. The militiaman remembered the training he had received.

More and more people joined in, and a new team of hundreds of people gradually formed, with spears erected one after another in a spear array.

“This is Hamlet’s land, drive the monster back to the sea!”

"go ahead!"

Under the command of the veteran, the overlapping double spear formations began to advance. The entire coast was covered with fishmen. It was like two waves colliding together. However, the spears in the forest changed from their previous weakness and became Stand strong.

The fishman's scales are useful, but they are definitely not overly exaggerated in their protective capabilities. In fact, they can still pierce through them as long as they use force.

Not to mention that big fish head protruding out, you would be embarrassed not to penetrate it.

The dense formation of spears blocked the murlocs. Under mutual care, it was difficult for the murlocs to slash into the formation with their swords like before, or hook them with hooks and spears, because the spears were longer than the spearguns, and the formation did not allow them to move. shortcoming.

The spear is the most cost-effective equipment in this era, bar none.

This is why Hamlet's army still has a large number of spears in reserve even when all of Hamlet's troops are equipped with firearms, and can easily pull out troops from the militia.

This moment made the murlocs extremely anxious. Their screams could be heard, and some murlocs even threw away their spears.

Some were knocked away by spears, while others penetrated the spear formation and caused casualties, but the next second there were replacements, and the formation remained strong.

The militia's counterattack relieved the pressure on the navy's more than two hundred soldiers. They were able to retreat and adjust their status. At the same time, they obtained ammunition from logistical supplies, and some damaged guns were directly replaced.

At this time, muskets were still delicate items, relatively delicate and required regular maintenance.

Even so, some couldn't withstand the high-intensity shooting just now, and various problems occurred.

Damage to parts is fatal, but fortunately there are still some in stock. If the parts are damaged, just replace them. Anyway, you don't need precision now, you just need more firepower.

Wilson appeared here. As the commander of Hamlet's navy, he was qualified to know the details of the lord's actions. Although he requested an attack, the lord still kept them behind to prevent pirates.

Although protecting Hamlet was not a very shameful task, he could feel the fragility of the navy, which made it difficult for the lord to entrust more important tasks. Think about how majestic Hamlet was when he owned hundreds of large ships and controlled the entire offshore waters.

But now there are only two broken ships and manpower that can hardly guard a port.

He was unwilling to do so. He saw in the lord the hope of Hamlet's re-emergence, and he would also revive Hamlet's navy.

Let’s start with this battle tonight!

"Quick, quick, quick! If you can't even compare to the militia, then don't fucking call yourself a regular army."

After a brief reorganization at Wilson's urging, the navy reoccupied a corner of the coast and poured ammunition into the fishmen. The burst of fire reflected a slightly tired face, but the eyes were as determined as ever.

Amanda had long since escaped from the increasingly fierce battlefield.

Fighting the enemy does not mean that she has to fall into the siege of the fishmen. That is not the way of fighting for the Omen Seeker, and she has no way to survive the raging tide of fish. Dodging one or two attacks does not mean she can avoid all attacks. .

Likewise, she didn't want to be covered in barrage, as that thing didn't have any eyes.

Individual strength always appears powerless in large-scale wars, with certain exceptions of course.

Unfortunately, Amanda knew that she was not among them, so she decisively withdrew from the front line and then came to the dock where the Roma ships were parked.

It's just that now the ship's seat is shrouded in darkness and looks empty. This is a trick used by the Roma people. The ritual on the ship is triggered, and the extraordinary power can make it "disappear". However, this is not a problem for Amanda. She throws out a With a hook lock, he easily boarded the Roma ship.

There was no movement at all. Instead, it fell into silence. All the lights were put away, and the personnel hid, leaving only a few capable people walking around the ship with weapons.

As for Sera, she also wore a complicated and gorgeous outfit. Don't forget that she is also a spell caster.

"What? Are you planning to escape too? It's a pity it's too late~" Although Sierra didn't stop Amanda when she saw him coming up, she mocked her unkindly when they met.

Maybe she also realized that she had been cheated just now, or maybe she was venting the pressure caused by the current situation being out of control.

Roma people have this kind of character, which makes it difficult even for their own people.

So Amanda responded very rudely, "Shut up. If I hadn't lured the fish-men away, you would be in the water now. Do you think you can swim faster than these monsters?"

If Amanda hadn't run to the shore next to the pier and sounded the alarm, causing a huge noise that attracted the monsters, the monsters would have landed on the pier with lights and more movement.

When the time comes, the raging fishmen will tear everything apart, and even Sera will have to admit that this is indeed a fact, so she can't refute it.

At this time, Sera had no intention of arguing. She really wanted to escape, but she was more afraid that the movement would attract those monsters.

Because the coast and the pier are only a little over a hundred yards apart, this environment creates a constant accumulation of stress and anxiety.

Looking at the fierce battle between the two sides not far away, let alone the defense line built by the militiamen to block the fishmen.

"They can win, right..."

It was not surprising that such unconfident words came from Sierra's mouth, but what Amanda added next was even more direct.

"It's impossible to defend it. It's impossible for ordinary people to defend it, let alone win the battle. You haven't seen that those fishmen can't see the decreasing trend at all. There are thousands of fishmen on the coast now.

And this is just the beginning. Have you seen that part of the fishmen? They were noticeably taller, but lingered on the shore.

In other words, they are deliberately using these miscellaneous fish to consume the enemy, which shows that these fishmen have a commander. "

Amanda asked rhetorically with a solemn expression.

"Do you think these militiamen have beaten even the weakest murlocs like this? When this wave of power subsides and when those elite murlocs come to an end, will they be able to withstand it?"

"Damn it! I shouldn't have come." Sierra lost control of her emotions and immediately started yelling, "I should have left earlier. I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense. No one can escape now..."

It's no wonder she reacted this way, because after those people died, it would be their turn. Even if they escaped, they would be torn apart by the fishmen when they went to sea. If they ran to land and lost the ship, she would not have the confidence to return to Totnes. .

"Tch!" Amanda showed no concealment of disdain, "That's why you can't be the person in charge, you don't understand the real Hamlet at all."

"That's right!" Sera seemed to have grasped something key and couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are also the army and the lord. He is so strong, he will definitely be able to defend it."

Although Sera is also hostile to this lord who single-handedly destroyed the empire's psychic network and forced the elders to show weakness, there is no doubt that the strong will always bring confidence at this time.

But in the next second Amanda crushed her hopes mercilessly.

"The lord led the army and left Hamlet, otherwise how could you think these monsters would dare to come?" Amanda shook her head helplessly after hearing this, revealing Hamlet's empty foundation.

Sera was even more dumbfounded when she heard this.

If you, a lord, don't enjoy life in your territory, why are you running away with your army?

She was going crazy, but when faced with such a desperate situation, her gambling instinct became stronger and she had the urge to take a gamble.

Now, while those fishmen were not paying attention, she sailed out and rushed out. She was confident that the boat had the ability to escape. After all...

"I advise you not to do this." Amanda guessed what this guy wanted to do by looking at the look on her face.

And he came here just to avoid Sera's desperate choice, so he immediately continued speaking calmly.

"Use your brain. If there was really a problem, wouldn't I run away? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"That's what you said!"

Amanda didn't speak. To be honest, she didn't have much confidence. She just focused her attention on the battlefield again...

In fact, as Amanda suspected, the training these militiamen received simply could not sustain such a high-intensity battle.

Because ordinary people, without special training, can explode with all their strength for less than one minute, and the effect of adrenaline also slowly fades during this process.

Therefore, the spears that were still straight at the beginning soon became weak. Many people lost strength after the explosion. When those spears were poked, only a few were able to cause damage, and many even the fish scales could not be broken and were slid away by the mucus.

The heavy breathing indicated that their state was about to reach its limit, but the monsters in front of them seemed endless.

Despair seems to be spreading... (End of chapter)
