Lord of Arcane

Chapter 944
Originally, when Xia Duo and Master Byron were exploring the mythical lock, the first method he thought of was to fill the murlocs with space and throw them down from a high altitude.

This is naturally a way to deal with it, but to fly frequently, even if one has the bloodline ability [Riding the Clouds and Flying the Mist], it is still a hard job.

It is far less relaxed and comfortable than standing directly on the shore and crushing with the portable space. The price you pay is only the crystallization of some daily surplus of arcane energy.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and near the big rock on the bank where Xia Duo was standing, the murlocs in the river were more sparse than when he came.

However, through controlling the waters, Xia Duo can clearly perceive that there are more murlocs moving here further away, and there are quite a few of them.

Obviously, those who can move actively are murlocs who have awakened their self-awareness.

But Xia Duo has already decided to change the place, and this place may not be able to calm down. All the nearby murlocs who have awakened their self-awareness will come here to compete for food, and a fight among the murlocs is inevitable.

It can also be regarded as a little restraint for the murlocs going south.

Of course, this is not enough.

Then, Xia Duo soared up from the rock and flew towards the south against the evening wind.

At intervals, he would create a batch of "murloc sauce" to attract intelligent murlocs, and then try to clear some of them before moving on.

In this way, he didn't return to the town until he found the murloc corpses connected by aquatic plants under the river near Savile Town and cleared away these strange monsters.

……

The location of the former site of the Tower of Time.

The coming of night did not calm down the battle, but intensified it. More than a dozen huge light spheres hung around the battlefield, illuminating this area like daytime.

When Xia Duo returned, he notified Niya in advance, so he landed directly beside Niya in the formation. Looking at her obviously tired face, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed:
"How is the situation? Has the parliamentary support arrived?"

"The murlocs are getting smarter and more and more soldiers are being injured. The priests of the temple have lost their strength many times. If Bishop Ambrill hadn't used the temple to reserve the holy power, they probably wouldn't be able to survive now. As for the support of the council, don't worry. Talk about people, and there is no news at all!"

Niya's tone revealed strong anxiety and worry, which made Xia Duo feel even more distressed, so she said, "Go and rest first, I'm fine here."

"No, I have to be here, this is the lord's duty!" Niya said decisively.

Niya's eyes were very firm, and Xia Duo only looked at her for a few seconds before he understood her persistence, so he said, "Then I will stay here with you!"

Afterwards, he released the flying sword and entered the river to kill the enemy. Although this was not as efficient as charging with the portable space, it was also much more efficient than ordinary soldiers.

After only killing for a while, cheers erupted from the soldiers in front. Niya was a little confused, but Xia Duo knew it very well.

He cleared out many murlocs in the north, and set up "feeding points" at intervals. The gathering of wise murlocs was naturally also an obstacle for unwise murlocs.

In addition, he also cleaned up the corpses of the murlocs in the north, and the Wolfburg River almost stopped flowing, so the speed of the murlocs going south became very slow.

At least, during this period of time, after Xia Duo cleared out the latest group with his flying sword, no murlocs came ashore again, and that's why the soldiers who fought in the morning until now erupted into loud cheers.

The vast number of murlocs rushed forward to attack the defense line. Even if they died, because of their huge number, these soldiers who had long been accustomed to killing felt deep despair.

If it weren't for the priests of the temple who have been soothing their hearts with the holy light, maybe they would have collapsed long ago.

Even now, they are cheering, but if they have Xia Duo's extraordinary vision, they will see this bright battlefield further north——

Under the night, there are still countless murlocs floating on the river.

It's just that it will take some time for those murlocs to get here.

……

Soon, Ke Yaen came to report the battle situation in an excited tone, "Lord Lord, Lord Xiaduo, we have won!"

Xia Duo just nodded slightly, while Niya saluted back, and then said:

"Commander Ke Yaen, I already know the situation. This is indeed a victory, but you have also seen the situation during the day. The murlocs are far more than the ones we killed, and there are many more. Let the soldiers not relax their vigilance!"

"Yes, Lord!"

Ke Yaen immediately took the order to leave, but before leaving, Xia Duo stopped him and reminded: "The murlocs from the north will arrive in about an hour, let the soldiers have a good rest!"

"Yes!"

Ke Yan suddenly showed a grateful expression, and he didn't know if it was because he knew the exact time when the murlocs arrived, or because Xia Duo cared about his soldiers.

However, Xia Duo didn't care about Ke Yan's attitude. What he cared about was only the state of the soldiers. Although there was a rotation mechanism before, there were only about 3000 full-time soldiers in Savile.

And it is impossible for these more than 3000 soldiers to be brought here to kill the murlocs. All important places, such as ports, trade areas, mines, town gates, etc., need to stay.

At the same time, the necessary territory patrol team also needs to stay.

There may be only one or two thousand people actually participating in the battle. Even if the battlefield is small, only two or three hundred combatants can be accommodated.

But from morning to now, the fighting has hardly stopped, and it is a relatively fierce battle!

Even if there is a rotation mechanism, even if they are full-time soldiers, even if the murlocs are weak and almost kill at will, even if there are temple priests to boost morale, restore physical strength, and treat injuries.

Its real consumption is also very huge.

These soldiers are just ordinary people, and they don't have any extraordinary powers such as grudges or internal strength. They just fight with a flesh and blood body and a set of standard equipment.

To be able to persist until now, Xia Duo already felt incredible.

On Earth, fighting with cold weapons takes about 20 minutes. (Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted)

Of course, this is the most direct and intense battle. If you count the time of low-intensity battles, it may take longer, but it is impossible to grow much.

It is extremely rare to fight like this from morning to night, and most of them are large numbers of people, and the same group of people will not rotate multiple times.

Xia Duo was naturally worried about the sudden collapse of these soldiers, and now he can rest for an hour. Among other things, just relaxing the originally tense heartstrings can greatly reduce the probability of collapse.

……

An hour later, the murlocs arrived as expected, as Xia Duo said, but instead of delicious human flesh, they were greeted by solid shields and cold spears!

In this way, the battle continued intermittently until dawn, when news came from the Tower of Time that Archmage Auron of the Arcane Union applied for a temporary pass key.

Although Xia Duo is a rare 4th-level member of the Austrian Federation, he doesn't have much friendship with the Austrian Federation, and he hasn't had much dealings with it.

The real identity of Archmage Aolong is not in the Austrian Union, he is a follower of the princess, but he is arranged to serve in the Austrian Union.

So, why did Archmage Aolong want to teleport over?Does it represent the Austrian Law Federation, or the princess?

At this time, Xia Duo could receive the news, not to mention Niya. The two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes. Perhaps it was because Master Byron mentioned that the support from the parliament had arrived!

This is of course here on behalf of the princess!
