Chapter 189 Weird Fishman

Zeus in the back also vaguely felt that something was wrong. These fish people were too abnormal. They could clearly recognize bows and arrows and should have dealt with humans before, but their performance in battle was so poor.

The key point is that they are obviously scared, but they can still organize attacks again and again.

It's really strange.

Sometimes Hughes felt that they were like a group of peasants who had no idea how to fight and were forced onto the battlefield.

Wait, if I follow this line of thought, "Ash, are they all carrying weapons?"

Ash paused for a moment before replying, "Only a few of them carry weapons, and more of the murlocs carry pickaxes."

"Pickaxe?!"

This answer obviously surprised everyone, and it was even discussed among the small group of banshees.

"Yes, most of them carry mining guns, only a few carry weapons, and some murlocs even come empty-handed."

Ash's voice was also a little confused. The Banshees had just killed the murlocs and scattered them without any resistance. But looking at their equipment now, they couldn't resist even if they wanted to.

And what kind of mines are they going to dig on the island with the mining manuscript? Hughes felt a huge uneasiness gripping his heart. He was not afraid of confronting the enemy head-on on the battlefield, but now he had no idea what the enemy was doing, but his intuition was warning him like crazy, as if he had fallen into a huge conspiracy.

"Are there any other enemies? Sea urchins? Murlocs? Polluted snakes?"

"No, the fishmen just retreated into the sea. We are now monitoring the coast. There is no movement here."

Ash looked towards the distant sea, that was where they had lived since childhood. But looking at the turbid water, for some reason, she felt a sense of strangeness in her heart.

"Let's pack up and increase the patrol frequency. Next time if we encounter a murloc, try to catch it alive."

"Lord Hughes." Contrary to her usual behavior, Ash did not immediately follow the order. She stared at the sea with a gloomy expression.

"I want to go to the sea and take a look."

The channel used during the battle was open to all banshees, and the banshees around Ash opened their eyes wide.

"Ash, are you crazy? You can't go in the ocean!"

"No, absolutely not. On the shore we can still use the terrain to avoid sea urchins, but there is no place to hide in the sea. Going down would mean death!"

"Yes, Sister Ash, think about it, the last time we went to explore the sea, the sea urchin monsters had already discovered our island and surrounded us at that time. Do we still need to think about what is happening in the sea now?"

"I have a telepathic link, and no matter what happens in the sea, I can report it immediately."

Xius was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "No"

"The sea is too dangerous now. If you get into trouble, we have no means to support you."

The banshees had no way to fight the sea urchins head-on. No matter how many there were, it would be of little use. There was no shelter in the sea, and they couldn't even escape from the sea urchin monsters, unless they launched a suicide attack with a large amount of explosives, which was impossible now.

Someone had previously witnessed sea urchin monsters appearing near the coast. Given how they were surrounding Caster, the danger for Ash to enter the sea was simply too great and the risk outweighed the gain.

"Ash, I know you're worried, and I also know there must be some secrets hidden in the sea, but time is on our side. Castel's industrial capacity is rapidly increasing. Every day we delay, our chances of winning will increase. Our second steel plant will be put into production soon, and everything will be fine."

Most of the banshees are involved in various industrial productions. They know Castel's current situation better than anyone else. Hughes was not lying. Under the circumstances of general mobilization and oppression from foreign enemies, the workers on the island cooperated with the banshees without any grudges, and the production efficiency was terrifyingly high.

This is also the reason why Hughes would rather give up all the outer beaches and manors and protect the industrial zone to the death. As long as they can hold their ground against the enemy's attack, there is no need for them to take any extra risks, and the balance of victory will tilt towards them little by little.

Ash looked at the tribesmen who were surrounding her with worried faces, then stared at the sea for a while. Finally, she nodded, left some people to clean up the mess, and left.

Hughes also breathed a sigh of relief. Ash was good in everything except that she was always a little aggressive in tactics. If she was just a soldier, it wouldn't be a big problem, but she was responsible for commanding the battle. Although they had a mental link, the banshees could quickly replace the commander with a substitute, but this was not a reason for her to be aggressive.

After the banshees retreated, the relocation of the islanders in the residential area gradually came to an end. Everyone knew that this place would inevitably become a war zone, and no one had any objections - Zeus even gave up his own manor.

Moreover, although the living environment in the church is simple, it is still better than the wooden houses where the islanders live. At least it doesn’t leak.

Alexei organized people to resettle the islanders. After Hughes showed up and calmed the islanders, he turned and walked towards an area south of the church.

This is a separate area allocated to Chloe. There are too many unspeakable secrets in the Fire Moths she leads. After all, it is a notorious cult. This area has been designated as a restricted area by Zeus, and permission is required to enter or exit.

Zeus' entry was naturally not blocked. In fact, as soon as he stepped in, a young man came over. He had two curly mustaches, brown hair combed back, and wore a delicate monocle. He was nodding to him at this moment.

"My Lord."

Hughes recognized this man. His name was Richard, and he was a member of the Fire Moth. Hughes remembered him mainly because he was also a transcendent.

There were only a few extraordinary people in the Fire Moth Chaser, and Zeus was able to remember them. Besides, this person, "It seems that you know why I am here?"

"Of course. We have also heard about what happened on the coast. The chief is also very concerned about the fish-man. I will take you to the autopsy room."

Richard was in charge of dissecting the fish-man. Chloe originally wanted to do the dissection herself, but she seemed to be busy with other things recently. Hughes didn't see her the whole day.

"Speaking of which, where is Chloe?"

"The smokeless gunpowder you recently researched has given the Chief some inspiration. She plans to go to the Forbidden Library to unseal some forbidden technologies."

Forbidden technology? That sounds dangerous. I'll ask Chloe later.

The two walked all the way into the depths of the church.

"There was something wrong with those murloc corpses. They didn't seem like living creatures."
