Chapter 288 Ambush
The lobstermen of the Slippery Shell Clan occupied the islands near the Fearful Bay, which were originally the territory of the fishmen of the Black Fin Clan.
In order to help the fishmen of the Black Fin Clan recapture these islands, Yang Yi returned to the Fearful Bay.
However, Yang Yi did not intend to deal with the Slippery Shell Clan lobstermen on the island by himself. After listening to the analysis of Thief Eyes, he decided to give the command to Thief Eyes.
In the Frenzy Bay of the Dustwallow Marsh, there lived a tribe of lobstermen called the Dirty Shell Clan. In order to compete for food in the sea, the fishmen of the Black Fin Clan often fought with the lobstermen of the Dirty Shell Clan.
As the former patriarch of the Black Fin Clan, Thief Eyes knew the lobstermen very well, and Yang Yi was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
After Thief Eyes got the command, she immediately began to make arrangements. She first found the wise man of the Black Fin Clan.
After being released by Yang Yi, the Blackfin Clan Sage seemed to be living a good life. He returned to his previous life of luxury, and the shriveled fishman's belly swelled up again in an instant.
"Chief, you, you are back."
The Thief Eye has been powerful in the Blackfin Clan for a long time, and the Blackfin Clan Sage was still a little trembling when he saw the Thief Eye.
"Now you are the chief of the Blackfin Clan. The islands in the Gulf of Fear are the territory of the Blackfin Clan. You must lead the Blackfin Clan to take back the territory." The Thief Eye said in an undeniable tone.
"I, what should I do?" The Blackfin Clan Sage was at a loss.
Although the Blackfin Clan has always been issued orders by the Blackfin Clan Sage, the prophetic leader, in fact, the one who really controls the overall situation has always been the Thief Eye hidden behind the scenes.
Thief Eyes had expected this reaction from the Blackfin Clan Sage, and she gave a direct order: "Gather the Blackfin Clan's fighting fishmen, feed them, and prepare for action tonight!"
"Yes."
The Blackfin Clan Sage nodded hurriedly, and then went to make arrangements according to Thief Eyes' instructions.
In the evening, the Blackfin Clan Sage gathered the fishmen who would participate in tonight's battle.
Thief Eyes personally arranged the battle plan.
This time to the Fear Bay, Ratchet Town brought three hundred-man battalions of fighting fishmen, and Thief Eyes did not arrange them as the main force.
The island occupied by the lobstermen is the territory of the Blackfin Clan, so the fishmen of the Blackfin Clan are the main force tonight.
This arrangement of Thief Eyes made Yang Yi very satisfied.
That night, the night was as dark as ink.
The wind was high and the waves were fierce in the Fear Bay.
A group of Blackfin Clan fishmen took advantage of the night to quietly swim to an island occupied by the lobstermen.
This is the largest island in the Gulf of Terror. The largest village of the Blackfin Murlocs was once built on the island. Now it has become the new home of the Slippery Shell Lobsters.
Before approaching the island, the Murlocs of the Blackfin Clan found a large number of traps under the sea.
Lobsters often set various traps in the water near their residence. The most common lobster trap is the shellfish trap, which is one of the favorite foods of lobsters.
In addition, there are lobsters' fishing traps, crab traps, and lobster traps.
Sometimes they also set traps specifically for murlocs to kill them.
These traps are set in the mud and sand very secretly, and creatures are often accidentally trapped in the traps. Therefore, these traps are also a warning line set by the lobsters.
There are many Murloc ambushers among the Blackfin Murlocs. As a thief profession, it is not difficult for Murloc ambushers to deal with these traps. They can dismantle the traps blocking their way forward with a few simple moves.
The Blackfin Murlocs successfully touched the edge of the island.
At this time, most of the lobsters have fallen asleep, and only a few lobsters are patrolling back and forth.
Although lobstermen live by the water like fishmen, they do not like to build huts on the shore like fishmen do.
Lobstermen build their homes in shallow water. Natural rock caves under the sea, cracks in coral reefs, etc. are all ideal places for lobstermen to live. They only need to be slightly renovated to become lobstermen's houses.
Because most of these lobstermen's houses are naturally formed, they are large and small. Small houses can only accommodate one or two lobstermen, and large houses can accommodate more than a dozen or even dozens of lobstermen.
There are not many blackfin fishmen who come in the dark. They specially choose small lobstermen's houses to sneak in.
The lobstermen in the house are already asleep. If you look closely, you will find that the hard shells of these lobstermen are painted with the unified logo of the Slippery Shell Clan.
Lobstermen despise clothes and armor. In order to decorate their hard shells and show their identity, they will paint tribal patterns and various colors of varying depths on their hard shells.
The blackfin fishmen were in no mood to appreciate the gorgeous patterns on the lobstermen's hard shells. They attacked at the same time and assassinated the sleeping lobstermen.
The thick hard shells of the lobstermen protected their bodies, but their abdomens, heads and the gaps between the hard shells were all weak points of the body. The trained fishmen could easily find these weaknesses and stabbed the weapons in their hands into the huge bodies of the sleeping lobstermen.
The large-scale assassination operation began, and it was inevitable that a few lobstermen did not die immediately after being injured and began to struggle and resist.
The resistance of the lobstermen caused a big commotion, and the lobstermen responsible for night patrols quickly rushed over, and more lobstermen were awakened.
Under the surging waves, the fishmen and lobstermen started a fierce fight.
As a large number of slippery-shell lobstermen joined the battlefield, the blackfin fishmen, who were not in a dominant position in number, fell into a disadvantage.
…………
On the coast of the Gulf of Terror, the Blackfin Clan Sage stood on a raised beach reef.
The Blackfin Clan Sage was dressed up carefully tonight. He was decorated with colorful corals and shells all over his body. He was holding a large lantern with flickering flames in his hand, as if he was afraid that others would not recognize that he was the patriarch of the Blackfin Clan.
The Blackfin Clan Sage was anxiously looking at the island in the distance.
The waves around the island were surging like boiling water. The Blackfin Clan Sage knew that the Blackfin Fishmen and Lobstermen under the sea had already started fighting.
The number of Blackfin Fishmen sent to attack the Slippery Shell Lobstermen at night was not large. They quickly began to collapse under the siege of a large number of Slippery Shell Lobstermen, and the Blackfin Fishmen began to retreat.
The Blackfin Clan Sage raised the large lantern in his hand. When the retreating Blackfin Fishmen saw the light, they felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw and all swam towards the light desperately.
The slippery-shelled lobstermen were furious and chased the retreating blackfin murlocs all the way. They also found the blackfin clan wise man holding a big lantern.
The slippery-shelled lobstermen saw such a bright and big target and thought that it must be a big shot among the blackfin murlocs. Of course, they couldn't let it go, so they all chased after it.
When the blackfin clan wise man saw the slippery-shelled lobstermen coming towards him, he immediately climbed down the reef and retreated to the shore with the retreating blackfin murlocs.
Speaking of the IQ of the lobstermen, that is really their weakness.
Murlocs are already a famous low-IQ race in Azeroth, and the IQ of the lobstermen is even worse than that of the murlocs.
Some people say that the IQ of the lobstermen is basically the lowest critical point of humanoid creatures. If it is lowered a little bit, they can only be classified as beasts.
The mission of the Blackfin Clan wise man is to lure the Slippery Shell Lobster Man as bait. The huge body of the Lobster Man is very limited on land, so it is best to lead the Lobster Man to fight on land, and it would be even better if it can be further led into the swamp.
Unfortunately, the reality is contrary to expectations. The IQ of the Slippery Shell Lobster Man is not as low as people say.
When the Slippery Shell Lobster Man in the front was about to climb onto the beach, the Slippery Shell Lobster Man Elder in the team stopped them.
Seeing that the Slippery Shell Lobster Man stopped in the waves and was not led ashore, the Blackfin Clan wise man stopped, took out a large conch, and blew the order to attack.
The retreating Blackfin Fishmen heard the order and began to turn back to fight back against the Slippery Shell Lobster Man chasing them.
"There is a trap, retreat quickly!"
The Slippery Shell Lobster Man Elder quickly reacted and shouted for the tribe to retreat.
Of course, the Blackfin Clan would not let these Slippery Shell Lobsters retreat easily. They had already set up an ambush underwater.
An ambush composed entirely of fishmen ambushers.
These fishmen ambushers have been sneaking underwater, waiting until the Slippery Shell Lobsters have passed the ambush line, and then floated up to cut off their retreat.
The Slippery Shell Lobsters, who were originally chasing the fishmen to vent their anger, suddenly found themselves being attacked from front and back, and suddenly became a mess. They began to rush left and right, eager to rush out.
The blackfin fishmen who were arranged as ambushes were all fishmen ambushers, the elite among the blackfin fishmen. It was not easy for the confused Slippery Shell Lobsters to break through their defense line.
…………
Yang Yi stood on a high slope not far from the battlefield. He used Eagle Eye to observe the battle between the blackfin fishmen and the Slippery Shell Lobsters.
"Thief Eyes did a good job. This strategy of luring the enemy and ambushing is very good. The blackfin fishmen are now in high spirits. The slippery shell lobstermen will be defeated soon."
"As expected, professional matters need to be handed over to professional hands. This lord is really awesome."
Yang Yi was very proud, as if he was commanding this battle himself.
Just when Yang Yi was complacent, the battlefield suddenly changed.
A large group of lobstermen swam in the Fear Bay. Unlike the slippery shell lobstermen with sky blue shells, the shells of this group of lobstermen were black.
After this group of lobstermen with black shells swam in, they immediately joined the battle with the fishmen, which made the fishmen ambushers who were originally ambushed and attacked from front and back by the lobstermen.
"Black shrimp shells, it should be the dirty shell lobstermen, why are they here?" Yang Yi was puzzled.
Yang Yi knew that the lobstermen and the fishmen were the same. Each clan fought on its own. He had never heard of different lobster clans fighting together.
"There must be something fishy about this."
Yang Yi used the Eagle Eye Technique to carefully check the battlefield, and he really found something unusual.
On the sea surface, an unusually tall dirty-shell lobster man appeared. The body of this dirty-shell lobster man was almost twice as big as the lobster man next to him.
The tall dirty-shell lobster man was directing the battle, and it was obviously the leader of the lobster men.
What surprised Yang Yi was that there was a human standing on the lobster head of this lobster man.
This person wore a bamboo hat and crossed his hands in his clothes on his chest.
No matter how the tall lobster man swam, the human stood firmly on her head like a nail, and only the loose robe on her body swayed in the wind.
It looked very strange.
