The sailor's shout attracted the attention of everyone on the ship, and everyone's expressions tensed.
The first mate immediately asked loudly: "Report the details!"
the sailor immediately shouted.
"Mercemen! There are many Mercemen on the shore!"
"There are a lot of them in the water, too. Over a thousand!"
"They're attacking the Sturgeon Docks on shore!"
As these words were spoken, everyone on the deck looked towards the coast.
The captain and first mate used glass telescopes, while the mages used Eagle Eye.
The same is true for Rosen.
In the mirror in front of him, the situation on the coast two kilometers away was clearly shown.
I saw wave after wave of sea fishermen rushing onto the shore, so densely packed and so numerous that it was frightening.
Most of them were warriors, and their weapons were mostly harpoons made of fish bones. They were charging towards the earthen wall of the dock fearlessly.
About one-tenth are murloc spellcasters.
Some of them sprayed water arrows similar to high-pressure water streams towards the dock, some summoned pure water puppets that were more than one meter tall, and others released pure water defense barriers for the murloc warriors.
Although the performance of these spells was very weak, when combined with the warriors, they caused great trouble to the defenders at the dock.
Look towards the pier.
The entire dock is built with a circle of earth and stone retaining wall more than five meters high.
The outside of the guard wall is tattered and has many old traces of battle on it. Some uncleaned remains of murlocs can be seen underneath, which shows that it is often attacked by murlocs.
On the parapet stood many ragged defenders.
The number of defenders was also not small, estimated to be more than 600.
Men, women, young and old, all are soldiers.
The defenders' weapons were also varied, mainly iron harpoons, but there were also simple weapons such as hammers, hoes, wooden sticks, and even many stones.
In short, use whatever you have.
Some mages can also be seen among the defenders, about a dozen in number.
They cast very common low-level spells, such as Hurling, Arcane Missiles, Firebolt, etc.
The spells are weak and the mana is meager, so these mages would rather throw stones most of the time.
Rosen looked around and found that the strongest mage was about 40 years old, with magic power reaching the early intermediate level, but he only knew one move, Arcane Missiles.
He specifically released arcane missiles at the Murloc Mage in the rear, causing considerable damage to it.
Unfortunately, there were too many murloc mages, and his mana soon ran out, so he had to pick up a wooden stick and act as a warrior.
But nature has a perfect match.
Although the defenders fought badly, the fighting strength of the murlocs was also average, so the two sides fought back and forth, and the defenders even had a slight advantage.
However, the number of sea fish people continued to increase, and was almost reaching 2,000. The defenders of the dock began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.
The captain of the flagship of the three-ship fleet where Rosen was located saw the fierce fighting at the dock and walked quickly to Rosen's side.
"Baron, the only dock of the Sturgeon Island is ahead, but we can't land like this."
The first mate shouted anxiously: "Captain, forget about landing, we must leave quickly, otherwise we will be affected by the battle at any time!"
Can I leave now ?
The White Sturgeon Wharf was destroyed by the murlocs, and the defenders in the wharf were also slaughtered by them.
As the lord of the White Sturgeon Island, Rosen could not just watch the tragedy happen.
He sighed inwardly: "The island's welcome ceremony for me is really wild."
He immediately pulled the captain over and said, "I will increase the freight by 100 Oggs. I will also be responsible for any subsequent damage to the cargo ship and compensation for casualties!"
"keep going!"
The captain was speechless and immediately let out a loud roar.
"keep going!"
"All sailors, prepare for battle!"
The sailor on the mast immediately signaled the ship behind.
Sailors engaged in maritime trade these days often deal with various dangers, such as pirates, sea mermen, sea sirens, etc., so each of them has rich combat experience.
Since their employer Rosen is willing to pay, they are naturally willing to temporarily act as mercenaries.
But the sailors on the three ships combined were only more than 200 people, while the number of sea fish people exceeded 2,000, which would make it difficult to fight.
So we need strong warriors.
The captain's most powerful warriors are the 100-man Flame Regiment led by Lord Hammer Yop.
Rosen walked over quickly and said, "Captain, you are needed to take action next."
Yopp was just feeling irritated because of what happened before. Seeing the other party coming to him on his own initiative, he sneered in his heart: "Hehe~ Little Baron, you still have to rely on me for the war. This time I have to make you surrender!"
Thinking of this, he put on a gloating smile on his face.
"Baron, of course our Flame Regiment will take action, but brothers..."
Rosen didn't say a word.
He was not short of money now. He already had 40,000 yuan, and Muradi gave him another 20,000 yuan, which suddenly brought the total to 60,000 yuan.
500 Ogg is just a small expense for him.
"Uh~~~"
Yopp's subsequent words were choked in his throat.
Most of the members of their Flame Regiment were of commoner origin, and some were impoverished minor nobles.
Compared with ordinary people, their lives are naturally more decent, but because they often deal with important people and have seen the world, their daily expenses are much higher than those of ordinary civilians.
But there had not been a large-scale war in the Shire for many years, so their income depended solely on military pay and the earl's daily rewards.
But the Count has no money recently.
Although the military pay did not change, the rewards were obviously less.
As a result, every member of the group obviously felt that money was becoming tight.
Even for the team leader Yop, it was difficult to come up with 50 Oggs of spare money.
Now Rosen gave 500 Ogers in one go, and they were dealing with a group of sea fish people who were not up to the standard. It was simply giving them money.
Just as Yopp was struggling over whether to take the opportunity to raise the price, he heard Rosen say, "Do you want to fight or not? If you don't, I'll do it myself."
"They are just a bunch of stupid sea merfolk. We, a group of mages, cursed and killed their leader, and the rest of the merfolk will naturally scatter."
Yop agreed with this statement. They were a group of stupid sea fish people, and their magic power was only intermediate at best. The magic master could definitely snipe their leader easily, not to mention that the other side had two magic masters.
I feel like if I hesitate any longer, 500 Oggs will be gone.
He nodded immediately: "Yes! Of course! But pay me first!"
Rosen nodded to Alia, and Alia opened her cash box and took out five gold coins from it.
"Ding-dong~~"
The gold coins collided with each other, making a breathtaking sound.
"Origin coins, 100 Ogg each, exactly 5."
The dark blue gold coin shines with breathtaking brilliance in the sun.
Yop felt his heart beating fast. Any mortal who had seen the prosperity of the world could not resist the great charm of these little cuties.
Although the team leader Yop was born into a common family, he had seen countless prosperity of the upper class, so he felt the attraction particularly strong.
He took the Olympic gold coin and stuffed it into his chest pocket and put it away carefully.
"Baron, rest assured. We will leave these sea fishmen to our Flame Regiment to deal with."
He turned and shouted to the soldiers: "Guys, cheer up and get some life~~"
"Crash~"
The members of the regiment, who had originally looked a little lazy, straightened their bodies the moment they heard the order, and their spirits instantly tensed like a bow, like a tiger awakened by its prey.
This is the unique spirit of an elite team.
Rosen knew that things were settled, and he had an additional comment on Yopp in his mind.
'A money-grubber deeply bound by the rules of society'.
If you follow the rules and love money, then things will be easy in the future.
He turned to Selena and whispered, "Madam, cast a telepathic echo for me so I can cheer up the dock guards."
"no problem."
Soon, the third-ring mental spell "Mind Echo" was cast, and at this time, the cargo ship was less than one kilometer away from the dock.
Both the defenders on the dock and the fishmen in the sea had seen three rapidly approaching cargo ships.
The highest commander on the dock wall is the senior knight Tato, and he has two lieutenants who are mid-level knights.
The three of them, along with a group of militiamen, were struggling to deal with the murlocs that were pouring in like a tide.
I thought I would die today, but I didn't expect that three large cargo ships would arrive when I was most helpless.
Although he didn't know the other party's intention, he was still a human being after all, so a lot of hope suddenly arose in his desperate heart.
He didn't care who the other party was. He used a harpoon to stab the murloc warrior who climbed up the wall to death while shouting loudly.
"Brothers~Hold on~Reinforcements are coming~~"
Not long after he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from a cargo ship on the sea.
"I am Baron Rosen Saxon, the eldest son of the late Baron Ted, and I am back from Dawn City~~~"
"My people, I have seen your bravery, and I have also seen your plight. There is no need to be afraid, and there is no need to despair. The powerful warriors I have brought will destroy the filthy and smelly sea fishmen!"
Knight Tato was stunned: "The Baron's eldest son? The new Baron?!"
In fact, he was not the only one who was surprised. All the men, women, and children at the White Sturgeon Pier were shocked.
The same doubt flowed among the crowd.
"The Baron's useless eldest son is finally back?!"
