Chapter 255 Lightning Raid

Not far from Theramore Harbor, an old lighthouse stands on an island.

This lighthouse has been abandoned for a long time, and for a long time, the lighthouse has been isolated on the island and no one cares about it.

Today, the island where the lighthouse is located is suddenly very lively.

A large number of murlocs, adventurers and indigenous humans crowded the beach of the island.

This is the most glorious moment of this abandoned lighthouse in recent years, and it is also its last moment.

The murlocs placed a large amount of explosives around the lighthouse island. When the murlocs and humans all crowded onto the island, these explosives were detonated.

The explosives exploded in succession, and the continuous roar resounded through the sky.

People who were resting or busy in Theramore City clearly heard the continuous rumbles. They looked out the window in surprise, walked out of the door, and came to the seaside and the dock.

"Dear Sergeant Emmeline, what happened? I just heard a series of explosions." A fisherman on the Theramore dock asked an officer carefully.

"Nothing, probably a navy ship testing artillery." Sergeant Emmeline answered absentmindedly.

The fisherman did not dare to ask any more questions after hearing this, and left embarrassedly, obviously he did not believe the words of the naval officer.

Sergeant Emmeline stood on the dock and looked at the lighthouse island in the distance, feeling uneasy.

When the weather is clear and the view is good, you can see the lighthouse outside the port from the dock of Theramore.

Sergeant Emmeline looked in the direction of the lighthouse, and a cloud of black smoke had risen high into the sky, but the shadow of the lighthouse could not be seen on the sea under the black smoke.

"Something happened! Major Mills took the ship out to the island with the lighthouse, and the explosion just happened on that island."

Sergeant Emmeline hurried back to Theramore City, and he had to report this important news to Theramore leader Jaina Proudmoore immediately.

...

Yang Yi was also very surprised when he saw the flames rising to the sky and explosions on the island.

He was not surprised that Thief Eye blew up the lighthouse, but was surprised that the explosion killed many members of the Rumeng Guild and the soldiers of Theramore.

"This Thief Eye, could it be that her original goal was not only to blow up the lighthouse, but she had already calculated that the Rumeng Guild and the soldiers of Theramore would be led to the island, so she had planned to kill them with explosives."

The more Yang Yi thought about it, the more he felt that Thief Eye had planned it in advance, otherwise she would not have let the murloc ambushers ambush under the sea around the island, and would not have placed explosives on the entire island from the beginning.

"A resourceful murloc, this Thief Eye is incredible." Yang Yi was more and more surprised.

"Boss, there are many blackfin murlocs swimming towards us." Mojimus reminded Yang Yi.

Yang Yi came back to his senses and looked. The violent explosion of the explosives blew away all the murlocs and humans on the island. Although the murlocs who were originally in the water were not affected too much, they were all frightened by the violent explosion.

At this time, these black-finned fishmen were full of fear and wanted to escape from the island. They were so scared that they didn't even have the courage to turn back and kill the humans who fell into the water and struggled.

Some of the fishmen were panicking and heading towards Yang Yi and his team.

It seems that Thief Eyes didn't tell his fishmen about the use of explosives to blow up the island in advance, so these black-finned fishmen were so panicked at this time.

"If these black-finned fishmen get close to us again, we will kill them. Look carefully to see if there is Thief Eyes among the black-finned fishmen who are fleeing." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi believed that all this was planned by Thief Eyes, so she must have hidden in the water before the explosion, and she was probably mixed in with the fleeing fishmen at this time.

Yang Yi's guess was correct. Mojimus looked around the sea, and he found Thief Eyes with his expertise in "reconnaissance".

"Boss, Thief Eyes is in the middle of that group of fishmen." Mojimus pointed and shouted.

Yang Yi looked in the direction pointed by Mojimus. There was a group of about ten murlocs over there, and Thief Eye was hiding in the middle of the group.

"Keep watching and see which island Thief Eye finally landed on." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi looked at Thief Eye swimming in a small group of murlocs and felt it was a pity. If Brak was here with the fighting murlocs from Ratchet Town at this time, he could just kill them and intercept Thief Eye.

There was no other way, Yang Yi could only stare and wait for Brak to come with the murlocs.

...

Finally, in the middle of a starry night, Ratchet II came to the Fear Coast, and Brak and his men came by boat.

"Brak, feed the fighting murlocs, we will take action immediately."

"Yes, Lord."

Without further ado, Yang Yi did not say much to Brak. He planned to raid the island where Thief Eye was in the dark.

The explosion of the lighthouse island not only caused heavy losses to humans, but also greatly reduced the strength of the blackfin murlocs. Now is a good time for a surprise attack.

Yang Yi and Brack led fifty murlocs and a group of lobster slaves, and they quietly approached an island of blackfin murlocs.

This island was where Thief Eyes had stored explosives before. Yang Yi knew the location of Thief Eyes' murloc hut on the island, and he chose a place closest to Thief Eyes' residence to land.

There were many blackfin murlocs on the island, and as soon as the murlocs from Ratchet Town landed, they would probably be discovered immediately. In terms of numbers, the murlocs from Ratchet Town were at an absolute disadvantage, so they needed to fight quickly.

This operation would be a quick and sudden blitzkrieg.

Yang Yi called Brack to his side and said to him again: "Remember, our target is the leader of the blackfin fishmen, Thief Eyes. After you take the fishmen ashore, rush directly to Thief Eyes' residence, and don't worry about anything else."

"It's best to capture Thief Eyes alive." Yang Yi added.

"Yes, Lord!" Brack replied.

Without too many tricks, Brack led the fishmen to the island from the sea.

There was only one goal, and the lobster slaves were driven by the fishmen to rush to the front of the team.

These were the strongest lobster slaves in Ratchet Town who were specially selected. They rushed straight to Thief Eyes' residence. Along the way, whether it was the blackfin fishmen, dead wood and gravel, or the fishmen's huts that blocked the way, they were all slapped away by the lobster men with their huge shrimp claws, and hit and overturned with their thick shrimp shells.

The huge destructive power of the lobster slaves instantly broke the tranquility of the island. The blackfin fishmen who were patrolling at night were shocked to see a group of lobster men running up to the island, and they screamed and sounded the alarm.

The sleeping blackfin murlocs were awakened by the noise. They found that the enemy had landed on the island, and they all began to look for suitable weapons in a panic.

Fifty murloc tidewalkers followed the lobster slaves, and all the blackfin murlocs that appeared in front of the lobster slaves were easily dealt with by the lobster slaves.

The blackfin murlocs that appeared on both sides fell to the ground and turned into rolling gourds in the rain of short spears thrown by the murloc tidewalkers.

Occasionally, a blackfin murloc was lucky enough to break through the dense short spears and wanted to get close to the murloc tidewalkers, but was immediately caught by the crawling sea crabs on the ground and could no longer move forward.

Benbolba, Mojimus and Gujigudong sisters and other little murlocs were not idle either. They held a small torch in one hand and took out bottles of crystal bottles from their waist bags with the other hand.

The crystal bottle contained a brown alchemical potion, which was [Flame Oil].

The torch lit the flame oil at the mouth of the crystal bottle. The crystal bottle fell to the ground and shattered after being thrown out. The flame oil inside splashed all over the ground, and the flame spread instantly.

The scorching flame has always been a fear for the fishmen, making them dare not approach.

Especially those black-finned fishmen who had survived the explosion on the lighthouse island before, saw the fire rising to the sky again, and they were like frightened birds, all of them ran away in fear, fearing that the island under their feet would explode again.

Thief Eye slept in the cave where explosives were stored tonight. Compared with the fishman hut with wind on all sides, the cave with solid walls gave her a sense of security.

As a fishman, Thief Eye has always been suspicious. She lacks a sense of security and likes to hide herself, instead of standing in the most conspicuous place like the patriarchs of other fishman clans every time to show her unique identity.

Thief Eye has always been vigilant when sleeping. As soon as the lobster man slave rushed to the island, she was awakened by the call of the night patrol fishman.

Thief Eyes got up quickly and ran out of the cave.

Thief Eyes' reaction was fast enough, but when she just arrived at the entrance of the cave, she found that the lobster man had appeared a hundred meters ahead and she was surrounded.

The lobster man slaves rushed around, but they were not invincible.

At a narrow intersection leading to Thief Eyes' residence, they were blocked by a team of fishmen.

This team of fishmen was abnormally tall, and their height was half that of ordinary adult fishmen. They were simply giants among the fishmen.

Yang Yi was sure that he had never seen such a tall fishman.

After the lobster man was blocked, the blackfin fishman's fishman ambushers sneaked up and began to fight with the lobster man slaves and the fishman tidewalkers of Ratchet Town.

Because he was usually suspicious and lacked a sense of security, Thief Eyes chose a place for himself to live on a cliff or a high slope that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The residence on this island was the same. The fishmen of Ratchet Town had only one way to attack the cave.

With such terrain and a team of unusually large fishmen, the blackfin fishmen defended against the attack from Ratchet Town with only a hastily organized defense line, but this also caused unexpected troubles for Thief Eyes.

Thief Eyes did not expect the fishmen from Ratchet Town to attack at night, and even more so that they would advance so quickly after landing on the island.

Thief Eyes had no way to retreat, and she was trapped.

Fortunately, the number of lobstermen and fishmen who came to attack was not large. As long as they guarded the narrow uphill intersection and waited for the blackfin fishmen on the island to recover from the panic of the attack and reorganize the battle team, they would not have to be afraid of them.

Moreover, the blackfin fishmen on the nearby islands should have received the signal and would come to rescue soon.

…

A team of tall fishmen suddenly appeared, disrupting Yang Yi's plan for a quick battle. The lobsterman slaves and the fighting fishmen were blocked, and Yang Yi began to worry.

The originally envisioned blitzkrieg would turn into a tug-of-war if it continued like this, which was not what Yang Yi wanted to see.

This was the lair of the blackfin murlocs. The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the murlocs in Ratchet Town.

What to do?

Yang Yi looked at the team that was blocked in front and could no longer move forward half a step, and then looked at the blackfin murlocs that were gathering around him, and he became even more anxious. .
