Chapter 72 Underwater Ambush
The meeting place mentioned in the letter is between the North Castle and the Warrior Island, a large island northeast of the North Castle.
Yang Yi asked the old blind man to arrange for the fishmen to go to the meeting point together, and then he went to find the fishman merchant.
This time the battle must be mainly a water battle, so Yang Yi plans to prepare a bottle of underwater breathing potion in advance in case of emergency.
The fishman merchants are now mainly stationed on the west avenue of the fishman village. The village has specially built a fishman hut here for foreign trade, and arranged patrol fishmen to maintain order here.
"Fishman merchant, how is the situation recently?" Yang Yi asked.
"Village chief, the business is very good after the bulletin board was erected. Especially the underwater breathing potion, which was not sold before, but since the village chief said that the price would be raised five times, it has been snapped up by foreign humans. Now it is sold out. The village chief is really wise!" The fishman merchant replied. He admired the village chief's business way.
"The underwater breathing potion was snatched away by humans? That's great. In this day and age, people with big powers still have money." Yang Yi laughed.
The money in the hands of the leaders of these big powers is gathered by countless talents under their command. Of course, they are rich.
"In the future, underwater breathing potions and some high-level pearls will be sold in limited quantities, and only to humans who have friendly relations with our Ratchet Village." Yang Yi said to the fishman merchant.
"Village chief, how to determine which people have friendly relations with our Ratchet Village?" The fishman merchant asked.
Yang Yi was stunned. This is really a problem.
Ratchet Village does not have a system god to count the reputation data of each adventurer. How to determine the reputation of each adventurer in Ratchet Village?
"The village bought a lot of fishman slaves before. I remember that there is a fishman with the specialty of "recording". Why not call this fishman to record the transactions between the fishman village and outsiders." Yang Yi remembered a D-level fishman slave bought at the fishman gathering. That fishman slave has the specialty of "recording".
"I will find a murloc to record the communication between the village and outsiders. I will teach you how to determine the relationship between each foreign human and the village later."
The murloc merchant did not have underwater breathing potions, so Yang Yi went directly to the alchemist Slark and took a bottle of freshly made potions from him.
Murlocs usually do not wear clothes, so when they need to carry things, they will tie some belts, straps, leg straps, etc. woven from water plants on their bodies, so that they can hang things such as weapons and leather bags on the belts.
After Yang Yi got the potion, he came to the central square of the town. At this time, the old blind eye had gathered the murlocs for this trip. There were a total of fifty murlocs for this trip.
Although the destination of this trip was not as far as the last time to the murloc gathering, because there were so many people, they could not rely on turtle mounts to travel, so it took longer to go back and forth. Yang Yi asked the old blind eye to stay in the ratchet village to look after the house.
In addition to Brak, there were only four murloc beach walkers and more than a dozen patrolling murlocs who set out with Yang Yi, and the rest were ordinary murlocs.
Yang Yi did not intend to contribute on this trip, nor did he intend to expose the strength of the Ratchet Village in front of other murloc villages, so he only brought Brak as a bodyguard. For safety reasons, he did not even bring the two small murlocs, Benbolba and Mojimus.
Yang Yi set out with the team, and the gathering place was under the deep sea not far outside the Ratchet Bay. In order to avoid the sight of adventurers, the wise men of the Blackfin Clan deliberately chose such a gathering point.
Because the Ratchet Village was at the innermost of the Ratchet Bay, it was already late when the messenger from the Canyon Village came to the Ratchet Village and then Yang Yi led the team to the gathering point. At this time, the other murlocs were basically all there.
Yang Yi roughly counted that there were more than a thousand murlocs gathered in the deep sea, among which the largest number was the Blackfin murlocs, about more than 500 blackfin murlocs were here.
This time, the Blackfin Murlocs were led by their prophet leader, the Blackfin Clan Sage. The non-mainstream outfit of this Murloc prophet, which was full of decorations, was very conspicuous among the Murlocs.
A team of Murloc ambushers were lurking outside the Blackfin Murlocs for alert and reconnaissance.
Murloc ambushers are stealth stalkers of the Murlocs. Murloc ambushers are good at hiding and ambushing. They are first-class scouts among the Murlocs and deadly assassins.
When Yang Yi found these Murloc ambushers, he was so envious that his Murloc eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. At present, there was no Murloc ambusher in the Ratchet Village. He wanted to forcibly abduct a few Murloc ambushers back.
However, seeing that the Blackfin Murlocs were numerous and powerful, Yang Yi gave up the idea of robbing them early.
Yang Yi also found the prophet of the Canyon Murloc Village. He brought more than a hundred Murlocs to participate in this operation. It seems that the Canyon Village is quite strong.
More than a thousand murlocs were lying in ambush at a depth of more than 100 meters under the sea, waiting for the arrival of the adventurers. This ambush lasted for a day and a night.
These murlocs were not strictly trained soldiers, and their military discipline was very poor. After a long wait, many murlocs began to whisper and even began to suspect that there was something wrong with the intelligence of the blackfin murlocs.
More importantly, some murloc villages did not bring enough food when they led the murloc teams out, so they had to send the murlocs out to find food, which made the scene even more chaotic.
"Come on, share the seaweed and clam meat you brought with you, a combination of meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition."
Although Yang Yi was not proficient in marching and fighting, he still understood the principle of food and grass before the three armies moved, so the Thorntooth Village brought enough food this time.
The merfolk of Ratchet Village were happily eating food when suddenly the merfolk in the sea started to stir and looked up at the sea.
"Huh? What is this?" Yang Yi also looked up and found that there were many black spots on the white sea, roughly counting at least fifty black spots.
"Village chief, there are ships sailing on the sea." Black explained.
Yang Yi was not experienced enough as a merfolk, so he did not recognize it for a while, but Black saw the clue at a glance.
"Could it be the ship of the Rumeng Guild?"
There were so many ships in this place, who else could it be but the Rumeng Guild.
"Wow, wow wow..."
The shouts of merfolk were heard everywhere under the sea, and the merfolk prophets began to organize the merfolk to prepare for action.
"When we charge together later, we have to be a step slower, especially Brak. Don't run too fast, just stay with me. When we retreat, you should run away with the murlocs in the village." Yang Yi gave the order to Brak beside him. He was afraid that Brak, who had the [Fast Run (B)] specialty, would rush to the front again.
After seeing a large number of ships appearing on the sea, the prophet of the blackfin murloc gathered the murlocs, but he did not let the murlocs attack immediately, but let them dive into the deeper and darker sea. .
