Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 516 Turning Point (Part 2)

Because they lost contact with the headquarters, the sahuagin army that was feinting to attack the city quickly fell into chaos. The sahuagin nobles and priests who acted as commanders immediately quarreled.

Some of them think that they should save their strength and retreat to defend their own territory, while others think that this may be because His Royal Highness has already invaded the land and temporarily lost contact. If they retreat at this time, it may affect to the prince's plan.

But soon these sahuagins didn't need to discuss, because with the full firepower of the human legion on land, a large number of sahuagins who were attacking were killed. They realized that if they didn't retreat, the whole army might really be wiped out here.

But only at this time did they realize that their formation had a fatal flaw, because when they attacked just now, most of the army rushed too far, except for the killer sea monsters and some superhumans as the general reserve. Even hundreds of meters deep into the land in some places.

Although this did put a lot of pressure on the coastline defenders as planned, forcing them to focus on the frontal battlefield, but now it is not so easy to retreat .

Just as the sahuayu people in the frontal battlefield were trying to escape under the powerful firepower, the collision of Lawrence's extraordinary power also reached the last moment. As the white mist from this weird tentacle was continuously absorbed by the golden light into the mirror, he clearly saw that the twisting and wriggling flesh and blood on this tentacle began to slowly lose its vitality, and at the same time The flesh and blood that looked like a jewel gradually lost its luster.

Although the amount of white fog this time is unprecedented, it is not endless. As time went by, the original activity on this tentacle became less and less, and at the same time, there was less and less white mist emerging from it. Finally, ten minutes after Lawrence summoned the phantom of the mirror, the last wisp of white mist that emerged from the tentacles disappeared into the mirror along with the mirror and the golden light.

"Crack—creak—" Just as the phantom of the mirror disappeared, theoretically speaking, a strange sound came from the tentacles whose energy should have been completely exhausted at this time. After hearing this voice, Lawrence and Nora, who were already very tired, immediately turned their heads to look at the weird tentacle floating in the air.

I saw a little gray spots on the tentacles first, then those gray spots began to expand rapidly and finally spread to the entire tentacles. Soon, the entire tentacle turned into ashes from the inside out, and then it was blown into the air by the sea wind, leaving nothing behind.

"Won't this cause any pollution?" Lawrence asked nervously to the little puppet next to him. Since he dealt with a divine power pollution incident at Erythion last time, he immediately became concerned about all god-related matters. The thing is very sensitive, let alone the thing in front of it turned into the same dust as the source of pollution last time.

"Don't worry, definitely not." The little puppet smiled and said to Lawrence, "I have to say that the place where I was born was indeed strong enough in terms of extraordinary power, so I can now 100% confirm that those things were only absorbed The last residue left after the energy is as indistinguishable from roadside dust."

"By the way, the wood you fed to you this time is an artifact. Hurry up and see what this artifact can give you." After explaining what the pile of dust was, Nora suddenly became excited. Said. "Although this thing is not as good as the one you fed Jianmu when you called me out last time, it's not that bad."

"What is this book this time—it should be said that this tentacle is?" Hearing what the little puppet said, Lawrence immediately thought of a key question and asked. "I just heard you say that this thing has the power of the gods, now can you tell me what this thing is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a god or an artifact made from a part of the body that can match the existence of a god." The little puppet explained to Lawrence seriously. "According to the impression in your mind, this thing should be called an innate artifact."

"Innate artifact?" Lawrence, who had read a lot of comprehension-related online novels in his previous life, immediately understood what the little puppet, who had a similar heart with him, wanted to express. "But if I remember correctly, innate artifacts are often plants, animals or other things. In theory, it shouldn't seem like this kind of artificial creation."

"This is just an analogy, for example—" Nora said helplessly after hearing what Lawrence said. "What I want to say is that this thing is formed naturally after the part of those beings with divine power is separated from the main body, and it is not processed by intelligent creatures like some things."

"Understood, I don't understand if you said that earlier." Lawrence snapped his fingers, and then cast any door again, leading the little puppet to the back of the cliff and joining the group of troops that had been transferred here before. Then he began to direct the troops to launch a counterattack against the chaotic sahuayu people.

"I still want to see what you got this time?" Nora, who habitually flew into the sky for reconnaissance after Lawrence began to command the army, complained to him through the soul link, "Think about it, go up The things you got in the astral plane last time summoned me. Although the things this time are worse than last time, maybe you can summon a pet for me this time.”

"Actually, I also want to know what can be summoned this time, but it's not the time yet," Lawrence said.

"After all, I have already got this thing, so there is still time to summon it later. But if we don't kill as many sahuagin as possible now, they will really run away."

When the two of them were talking, the sahuagin on the battlefield had fallen into a complete retreat. Among them, the main force that was supposed to serve as support has been wiped out by the double blow of the monster and the hedgehog bomb just now. Only scattered sahuagin are fleeing to the surrounding area, and at the same time, the news of the disastrous defeat is passed on.

After doing so, the first batch of sahuagin invaders to be affected was the team organized by the sahuagin and locatha puppet army that had sneaked into the port through camouflage and then attacked the land.

Before the monsters formed and frantically killed the surrounding sahuagins, a group of sahuagins who risked their lives to pass through Lawrence's fire blockade landed on land scatteredly.

When they found that the monster appeared and cut off the sea area outside the port, they had no choice but to turn to the land and join the group of sahuagin allies who attacked the land before.

Because of the appearance of the monster covered with tentacles, or the behavior of stringing the surrounding sahuagins on the tentacles for a few seconds to drain them, the spirit of these sahuagins was strongly stimulated. Therefore, when this group of rout soldiers joined the main force, almost everyone was panicked, and shouted words similar to demons and invincible enemies incoherently.

Although the sahuagin nobles and priests who were commanding their troops to attack the defense line of the human army in Yamaguchi immediately beheaded and killed the frightened defeated army, there were still some army murlocs in the back row. Hearing their words and spreading the ominous news in private spread throughout the army.

So under such circumstances, first the cowardly Loka murlocs started paddling on the battlefield, and then it affected other people. And the human army on the opposite side of their line of defense suddenly felt that the murloc army's attack had eased a lot.

"It seems that His Excellency Earl Sauer's plan is likely to be successful." A major who is the commander-in-chief of this line of defense said, looking at the current situation of the battlefield with a telescope. "Tell the reserves to mount now, I think we'll be in pursuit of the enemy soon enough."
