Chapter 188: Kill Back
A message suddenly came through the mental link. Xius was startled and then replied immediately.
"Where are they located? How many are there?"
"Near the dock area on the north side of the island, they have been crawling out of the sea. There are now dozens of them. Moreover, they did not move after landing, but gathered together. It seems that they will launch an attack when there are more people."
The dock area? Hughes immediately unfolded the map he carried with him. The dock area on the north side was originally a densely populated area, but since Castel began preparing for war, no ships would come to the island to dock. In addition, Hughes began to mobilize the people and people went to the factory, so this place gradually became deserted.
Although there are not many people in the dock area, it is adjacent to the residential area in the north.
Due to the tight construction schedule, the residential area was not included in the church, which means that there were not many fortifications here.
Hughes had realized this a long time ago. He had reserved a large residential area in the newly built central church, namely Castres Cathedral. Although it has not been completed yet, the church itself has been completed. Castres Island was destined to become a battlefield, and Hughes had already done the preliminary work to move people in.
"Inform Alexei and ask him to move all residents into the church as soon as possible!"
When the situation gradually became serious, workers began to stay in factories. Each factory has its own workers' dormitory and factory protection team. Most of those who remain in the residential area are family members and the elderly and children. There are special patrol teams in charge of them, so it won't take too much effort to move in now.
"I've already notified you that Sister Ash has brought a group of people over. She plans to charge in and kill the murlocs before they finish gathering."
Zeus nodded. He did not directly command the battle. Ash was in charge of the Banshee Squad, and Alexi was in charge of the Skitarii.
Now the Skitarii are mostly responsible for logistical tasks, and direct combat is still mainly carried out by the Banshees. The rifled rifles have just been produced, and there has not been enough time for training, so their combat effectiveness is worrying, so it is more convenient for Alexei to organize it.
"Ash, what's your battle plan?"
"The murlocs have just assembled. We have eleven of them, all of whom are nearby and armed. I plan to lead nine of them to charge directly, and the remaining two will set up the explosives they carry. If the opponents are all murlocs, we will kill them and leave. If there are sea urchins, we can use explosives to kill them based on the terrain."
As Ash spoke, he sent a topographic map. The fighting methods on land and in the sea are completely different. In the sea, there is basically no cover, so you can charge forward recklessly, but on land, you have to consider the impact of the terrain.
This is a good thing for the banshees. The straight forward trajectory of the sea urchins is easy to predict, and as long as they are lured properly, they can be easily blown up with bombs.
This simple bomb made with nitroglycerin has been proven to be able to successfully kill sea urchins, so Ash plans to use it to delay the process and buy more time for the evacuation of residential areas.
And now the murlocs have just landed, and the banshees' reinforcements are also rushing here. The most important thing for her is to test the enemy's combat effectiveness on land.
"Be careful. If you run into trouble, evacuate immediately. There should be a webway over there, right?"
"Yes, if the enemy numbers are too great we will withdraw from the Webway."
Although Zeus's webway plan was aborted halfway, there are still several scattered underground webways in key places such as the coasts. These areas are expected to be war zones in the future, and various traps are prepared in the webways. No matter whether it is a murloc or a sea urchin monster, as long as they dare to enter the webway, the banshees will give them a surprise.
"Let's evacuate too."
Zeus came back to his senses from the mental link. He was now in the office of the manor. Although this was the center of the underground network, it was not included in the protection area of the church because it was too close to the coastline. What's more, the underground cavity under the manor was directly connected to the sea, and it might be attacked by mermen and sea urchins in the future.
Therefore, after discussion, Xius and his companions decided to abandon the manor and the underground palace area and move into the church.
Connor nodded, went out and asked people to take away the documents in the study.
The underground web of tunnels here are interconnected, making it very convenient to leave. After Zeus got on the underground carriage, he focused on Ash's actions through the mental link.
The battle of the Banshees was still directed in the previous group. After Ash uploaded the topographic map from the group, he marked four points and outlined the order.
They planned to catch the opponent off guard, and there was not much time to prepare. The Banshee started to place bombs and Ashe rushed over.
The banshees were quite large, but the murlocs had poor vision on the shore and were gathering, so they didn't pay much attention to their surroundings. By the time they discovered the banshees, the sharp cold light on Ash's blade was already right in front of them.
The nine banshees simply formed a sharp assault formation and rushed into the pile of fishmen in an instant.
The murlocs were not small in size, slightly taller than humans, but much heavier. However, in front of Ash and the others, they were like a group of little sheep, unable to even put up a decent resistance. Some of the murlocs even bumped into the banshees and were knocked away.
Although the banshee is only less than twice as tall as the murloc, her overall strength is more than ten times higher. Facing the banshees charging into the formation, the murlocs will die if they are touched, and will be injured if they are touched.

The six knives in Ash's hands danced like fans, and the murloc blocking the way was cut into pieces in an instant, and then crushed into meat paste by the snake's tail.
There were about seventy fishmen at the moment. When Ash and the others appeared, they panicked and tried to flee to the sea. However, they were too close and crowded together like a bunch of chickens. They were directly scattered by the momentum of Ash and the others' charge.
With just one charge, the banshees killed at least thirty murlocs. Some murlocs were even crushed to death by their own kind. They did not organize any resistance at all.
But even though the battle situation was so good, the banshees still did not want to fight. They rushed to the beach and reorganized their formation. Ash and others did not stop at all and rushed back directly.
At this time, most of the murlocs had dispersed, and after killing only a few, Ash and the others returned to an area far away from the sea.
"The battle is over." Ash spoke from the group. Although it was a short time, the intense battle made her a little out of breath.
"Killed about 40 fishmen, but didn't see any sea urchins, didn't encounter any resistance, and all the fishmen fled into the sea."
The banshees who came to support them also arrived. They all looked at the fishman who was fleeing into the sea in panic, and their expressions couldn't help but look a little strange.
Isn't it a little too smooth? (End of this chapter)
