Chapter 387 The faithful new holy city welcomes their king (successful addition!)

Fishing nets kept falling on the sea, and the dense fishing nets severely restricted the offensive actions of foreign Naga tribes.

Under normal circumstances, in a naval battle, the Naga would have a huge advantage over humans.

But now under the sea, the Nagas from both sides are confronting each other.

In fact, normal wars between Naga tribes would involve the participation of the murlocs who were affiliated with them, but this time neither side used murlocs.

This time, the foreign Naga tribe originally saw that the local Naga was "weak", so they planned to directly send in their main forces in order to achieve a quick victory.

The local Nagas felt that with the help of Lord Taner and the equipment and military support from the Earldom of the Moon Phase, they could quickly defeat their opponents.

There are a lot of small boats carrying humans on the blue sea.

Above the small boat there were many adventurers who were good at sea combat, as well as some sailors who had been trained for some time.

When lowering the fishing nets, adventurers and sailors will also find the right opportunity to throw harpoons to shoot down some Nagas who try to come to the surface to attack human ships.

Under the sea, the foreign Naga leader on the opposite side did not surrender immediately.

The local Nagas who had surrendered to Rand immediately seized the opportunity and began to attack.

Thanks to high-quality armor and iron weapons, the battle between the two sides was almost one-sided.

But the local Nagas soon discovered something was wrong.

In the azure shallow sea battlefield.

To the depths of the sea.

He opened his huge, cloudy eyes.

It had feet as big as houses and a body as tall as a windmill.

In the deep ocean, due to the lack of light, it appears like inky skin.

It's a sea giant.

Now the local Naga leaders are somewhat impressed by the foreign Naga leaders, who are really ruthless and decisive.

Summoning sea giants is a very costly thing, and the success rate is not high.

Prayers to the Lord of Waves are almost impossible to get a response.

It takes enough pain and death to establish some initial connection.

In short, the sacrificer is required to sacrifice his own relatives, and must have the blood of the Naga royal family.

But even so, there is a high probability of failure. If the sacrifice fails, it will be in vain.

Therefore, this kind of sacrifice will never be used unless it is a matter of life and death.

After the sacrifice is successful, the servants of the Lord of Waves, the sea giants, will walk out from the deep sea and obey the orders of the sacrificer for a period of time.

Then return to the deep sea.

If they had not surrendered to Rand and had not received support from Lord Taner, there would have been a high probability that they would have been defeated by the foreign Naga tribe with sea giants.

But not now.

The local Naga leader took a deep look at the leader of the outsiders and whispered, "Even if you summon the sea giants, there is no chance of victory."

The reason is simple, just as the foreign Naga leader said, they are domestic dogs.

If they can't win, they just need to hide on the shore, stay with humans, hide for a while, and wait until the time limit for summoning sea giants is over, and then come back to fight.

"But at least I can keep many of you." The foreign Naga leader's face was still gloomy. She knew that what the domestic dog leader said was right.

The local Naga leader said, "It's not too late to surrender now. If you are willing to use the sea giants to help with the construction, your tribe will be treated fairly well."

The local Naga leader pointed to the Nagas under his command and whispered, "Earl Rand is a benevolent and powerful human lord. He will lead us to prosperity. It is not too late to join now."

"Not enough." The foreign Naga leader whispered, "This is not enough to convince me."

The local Naga leader chuckled: "No, that's enough. You will definitely be defeated. If you don't surrender, there will be no place for you in the surrounding seas. Do you want to return to the deep sea?"

The foreign Naga leader's expression kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "We surrender, but if that Rand is a slave owner and not what you said, we would rather return to the deep sea and die than be enslaved by him."

The local Naga leader folded his arms across his chest and smiled.

Okay, she's going to get a promotion.

She is now the captain of the Naga construction team. Once these Nagas join, she will become the general manager of the Naga construction team.

A large number of people were added to his subordinates! Following the order of the foreign Naga leader, the foreign Nagas who were originally entangled in the fishing nets and stabbed by the harpoons stopped attacking and put down their weapons.

The local Naga leader said: "Relax, I'm not lying to you, I will arrange for the injured Nagas to be treated first."

Although the foreign Nagas were wary, they still obediently followed the local Nagas ashore due to the orders of their leader.

The foreign Naga leader wanted to go over and take a look, but was stopped by the local Naga leader.

Facing the foreign Naga leader's puzzled look, the local Naga leader said: "You have something important to do now."

The foreign Naga leader was still puzzled.

The local Naga leader explained: "Sea Giants, Lord Rand's port needs the help of sea giants to build it. Now you should cherish your time. Lord Rand will never forget your contribution."

The foreign Naga leader still didn't quite understand, but now she was essentially a surrendered prisoner, and she had no right to refuse any requests.

…

Rand soon arrived not far from the New Holy City, and some of the guards he brought with him stayed in a hidden residence prepared in advance by the members of the "Sun Project".

Rand, with the top leaders of the hideout and Karin, entered the New Holy City through the section of the city wall that had not yet been built.

The defenses of the New Holy City were actually not particularly weak, especially after the traitor incident, the defenses of the New Holy City became much tighter.

But for Rand, the top leaders around him, and Karin, it was not difficult to sneak in here.

Now that summer has turned into autumn, the weather has become a little cooler.

Rand, disguised as a businessman, walked on the streets of the New Holy City with Karin, who was also disguised as a businessman, and the top leaders of the hideout.

In the gaps of many paladins' armor, you can see the velvet lining.

The paladins' armor was polished so smoothly that it reflected a dazzling light in the autumn sun.

But the roadside.

On some seldom-traveled roadsides, Rand could still see civilians dying of disease and starvation.

Of course, there were also those who were killed by swords, those were the swords of the paladins.

Captured civilians are not allowed to enter the upper part of the New Holy City during non-working hours.

But there will always be times when there is not enough food to fill your stomach and not enough clothing to keep you warm.

The status of civilians, above the New Holy City, is even lower than that of wild dogs.

At least the wild dogs wouldn’t be killed if they were seen.

Civilians even had to fight with each other for a few pieces of rags to keep warm.

Of course, the noble paladins of the New Holy City would not notice this.

Walk through the streets of the New Holy City.

Rand arrived at the base of the "Sun Project" members in the New Holy City.

From the time they called for help until Rand arrived, the members of Operation Scorching Sun have been actively taking action.

Now he has completely gained the trust of those opponents who have not been caught, as well as some civilians with insights and ideas.

Therefore, a stronghold was also gained.

The stronghold is located in a remote warehouse in the New Holy City. Under normal circumstances, no paladins or clergy would come here, and even ordinary civilians rarely come here.

Rand's arrival surprised all members of the "Sun Project".

They expected Rand to support them, but they didn't expect him to come in person.

This is really an exciting thing.

"Let's get down to business." Rand, who was exhausted from the journey, stood in the warehouse and looked around at all the members of the "Scorching Sun Project", the undetected opponents of the New Holy City who came to participate, and the ratman Quirrell. "The plan should have been mentioned a long time ago. Do you have any suggestions or changes you would like to make?"

Ever since the members of the "Scorching Sun Project" asked Rand for help, Rand immediately responded with instructions.

The reply arrived much faster than Rand arrived here.

Rand's instructions were to allow civilians to participate in the operation, but this certainly did not mean that civilians should fight as soldiers.

That's impossible.

It is impossible to turn civilians into qualified soldiers by giving them a sword and a set of leather armor.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That's not realistic.

Only some civilians who have combat experience and served as soldiers will be qualified to serve as soldiers and obey orders.

As for the other civilians, they just need to have one goal.

You don't need to change from a docile sheep into a ferocious wolf, you just need to become a galloping wild horse.

As long as there wasn't a great Knight Commander standing there, he would be so scared that he wouldn't even dare to run away.

The last time, in the action organized by Walker's friends, the civilians were like docile lambs. After the front-line rebels were defeated, they obediently returned to the sewers.

If they were to do it again, would they make the same choice? And that is, Rand confirmed that the third protagonist of "Deep Moon" is this person, Ratman Quirrell, the legendary Ratman Paladin.

Yes, that's right, this ratman is a paladin.

In fact, the three protagonists of the "Deep Moon" game have now appeared on the same stage.

Ellie, who was going to be the next Queen of the White Kingdom, Elsa, the most terrifying assassin and part-time thief in history, and Quirrell, the Ratman hero and the Ratman Paladin.

It's just that they are not at their peak now.

But it is still a very powerful level. The ratman Quirrell has advanced from elite to superior, and Elsa and Ellie haven't encountered the time when they really need to exert their full strength for a long time.

"No." At least in this ordinary warehouse, everyone agreed with Rand's idea, and everyone's voices were in unison.

"Then show me around," Rand said. He wanted to see the preparations for the plan himself.

Now, the preparations for the plan are nearing completion and it is ready to be launched at any time.

The sewer is a dark, damp place where no light can be seen. This summer, more than a thousand civilians died of hunger and disease.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that no highly contagious diseases have emerged.

Otherwise, more people would have died.

Rand entered the sewer.

He himself is truly blessed by the Dark Fertility Goddess, so he doesn't have to worry about contracting any disease.

The sewer environment was just as dirty and dilapidated as Rand had imagined.

Many people have lifeless eyes, they are desperate and numb.

But there are also many differences.

There were some civilians whose eyes did not show despair, but seemed to be burning with flames.

Not all civilians knew about the escape plan, because if everyone was told, there would be about 10,000 civilians in total, and the news would definitely not be kept secret.

During this period of time, the members of the "Proud Sun Project" worked with the ratman Quirrell to select some civilians who were capable, trustworthy, and had the idea of ​​resisting and escaping, as the foundation of the resistance.

At the moment before the plan is launched, these people will be used as the basis to incite all the civilians who can be instigated to flee the New Holy City together.

Rand's arrival did not bring any changes to the lifeless sewer.

The civilians in the sewers just thought that it was another group of businessmen coming to select laborers.

There will be some people who come forward to recommend themselves, but not many.

Working as a laborer for businessmen would be better, but it would not bring any substantial changes to their lives.

Rand visited many places and then returned to the base.

The overall design of the sewer is good. The designer of the new holy city must be a talented person. Unfortunately, Rand feels that he has no chance to find this talent.

In Rand's opinion, there are many things that can be learned from the design ideas of the New Holy City.

This can also be used as a reference for the construction of holiday villas and hideouts.

But I don't have time to think too much about these things right now.

The Jiaoyang Plan, which is completely different from the original "Jiaoyang Plan", is about to be launched.

There was nothing much to the planned scheme.

Incite and lead the civilians in the sewers to attack the granary of the New Holy City and obtain enough food from the granary.

Then attack the armory in the New Holy City and get enough weapons.

Then, it’s time to escape according to the given route.

Last time, when Walker's friend made plans, he had already designed the route and stored supplies along the way.

But the supplies stored by Walker's friends were totally insufficient compared to the number of civilians Rand wanted to incite this time.

Therefore, it was necessary to attack the granaries to obtain food.

As for weapons.

Civilians do not become qualified soldiers simply because they have weapons.

But there is still a difference between unarmed civilians and civilians with some weapons.

In addition, there will be some civilians who are aware of the plan and are prepared to lead the resistance.

Add to that the oppression these sewer dwellers endure.

At least, I won’t be a docile sheep anymore.

Rand looked at Walker, then at Quirrel.

Quirrell's abilities have already begun to show, but for now, he probably plans to look for their holy weapon first. However, if this escape plan is successful, then he will have a good relationship with them. Even if he cannot recruit the rat people to work for him in the future, at least they will not be hostile.

And now Quill didn't know that Rand was the lord who commissioned the Sulphur Knight to find him.

"So what do we do?" Karin whispered to Rand.

"There are many top professionals in the New Holy City." Rand said, "We will intercept them and let the New Holy City see the consequences of provoking us."

The provocation Rand mentioned was referring to the previous attack by the New Holy City on the base of the Nascent Sect of the Torch Church.

Karin felt a little embarrassed when she heard us calling her that.

By now, at least the Mother Goddess Sect and the Torch Church's fledgling sect have become close enough to be called "us".

So what about her and Rand? (End of this chapter)
