Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 149 Taming Pollution?

When Zeus returned to the cave under the manor, he found it as lively as the steam room of a Type II machine, and the banshees' arguments were louder than the gurgling of boiling water.

"Their gathering together is a good opportunity. We can disperse them with just one charge, and then it will just be a simple chase."

"kill!"

"No, you should at least think about their location. That place is too far away from us, and even the mind link cannot reach it. Remember, they brought those monsters with them this time."

"kill!"

"You mean those snake-like things? Honestly, I think they're more like another form of pollution. Remember those polluting beasts beneath the Abyss?"

"Is there really a monster?" "Look in the group first, there are pictures." "That thing is not a pollutant beast, it looks very different."

"kill!"

"It's okay, we have nitroglycerin. As long as the equivalent is large enough, all these problems can be easily solved." "But nitroglycerin is not very stable in the sea. It will explode at the slightest touch. Look at Nini's tail, it's all bald." "Wow, wow."

"Kill uh, Lord, what are you doing here?"

Monica, wearing heavy armor and holding six weapons in her hands, was pulled aside by Hughes.

"Don't kill him yet, what are you doing?"

Zeus rubbed his forehead. He had just tried to follow the topic of these banshees, but found that he could not keep up at all. They were talking while speaking in the group. Various private chats and small groups were created faster than he could see, and six hands were constantly gesturing.

Xius finally understood why they had the ability to make unified decisions instantly. With such strong arguments, they could even compete with AI on Blue Planet.

"They are discussing how to deal with the murlocs."

Monica happily pointed her axe gun at a group of banshees: "Those are the radicals. They think they should just attack directly. Just rush over and kill them all."

"What about over there?"

"Those over there are conservatives, and they think the radicals are too conservative."

“.”The expression on Xius’s face was very interesting.

"By the way, I'm a neutral party. I think we should let the radicals and conservatives fight each other. When only one person is left, let this strongest banshee take action and suppress everything—"

Monica raised the weapons in all six hands: "Start killing! I want to see a river of blood!"

Then she took flight.

Nini came to Xius, picked up Monica with one hand and threw her into a deep pit not far away. Monica let out a long scream and gradually disappeared from the cave.

"Um, is she okay like this?"

"Don't worry, that hole leads directly to the sea. No matter which underground level you are on, you can just jump into the hole and quickly reach the sea."

Zeus listened attentively and indeed heard a faint "plop" sound.

".Okay, what's all the fuss over here?"

"It's about the murlocs. Ash, come over here too. You were the one who discovered those things."

Gray scales scraped against the ground as Ash swung his tail and arrived in front of Hughes. The banshees also fell silent, looking at Hughes without a word. At the same time, the number of messages in the telepathic group suddenly increased tenfold, and Hughes was so overwhelmed by the messages that he could barely see anything.

"My Lord, as you can see, we have completed our investigation of those murlocs."

As Ash said this, he casually muted everyone in the group and sent a map of Caster.

"Look, we've discovered quite a few small groups of murlocs, and we've already eliminated them all. Putting those groups aside, the main force of the murlocs should be here."

Ash drew a circle on the map, southeast of Castel, not too far from Castel, almost close to the Martha Islands.

The Martha Islands, where the Pirate King's Court is located, are said to have once been the site of a treasure ship loaded with gems that sank there, hence the name Gem Bay.

Castel is located on the eastern side of the Empire, with the Duchy of White Raven to the north, the Eye of the Storm in the center of the Ocean of Storms to the south, and the Gem Bay to the southeast.

Ok?
Wait, something is wrong. Are these murlocs coming from the southeast?

Did they pass through Jewel Bay? They couldn't possibly have passed through the Eye of the Storm. It was said there was a huge hole there, and any ships that approached would be swept into the hole, making it impossible to sail.

This is still on the sea surface. It is even more difficult to resist the strong current in the sea. How could these fishmen come from there?

"Have you found out where the murlocs came from?"

Ash and Nini looked at each other and then shook their heads. They really hadn't thought about this problem. In the mood of revenge, the banshees were not much more rational than Monica. They were still thinking about how to kill and how to kill.

As for how the murlocs came about, wouldn’t it be better to just kill them all?

"So your reconnaissance was just to deal with a small group of troops, and then you took a quick look at where their main force was and came back, right?" Zeus sighed.

Nini looked a little embarrassed, but she still said a few words stubbornly: "We have fought many fishmen before. They are quite weak. Now we are not restricted by the water pressure and can use magic freely. They can hardly threaten us."

As she spoke, she also sent over a few pictures, all of which were simple schematic diagrams that looked like they were made by the banshees on the front line.

The first picture shows several Q-version fishmen slashing at the banshee's arm. A small cut appears on the banshee's hand, and then it recovers with a flash of green light.

The second picture shows the murloc attacking the banshee's snake tail, but was bounced back by the scales on the snake's tail with a "ding" sound. The banshee in the picture made a "yeah" gesture.

The third picture shows the banshee grabbing the murloc with her six hands, then gritting her teeth and exerting force, and the murloc was torn into two halves.

The fourth picture shows a banshee biting a murloc, killing him. This picture has a large cross and a small caption next to it: "Tastes like shark poop."

The corner of Hughes' eye twitched.

"Well, uh, it's about the few battles we had with the murlocs. We had a huge advantage over them. The murlocs were weak and it was difficult for them to inflict damage on us. The scales on their lower bodies were basically perfect defense, and they could only barely break through the defense of their unscaled upper bodies."

As Nini spoke, she poked Ash next to her with her finger to explain. Zeus looked at Ash's grayish-white skin and shiny scales and nodded.

"And there's a symbiotic contract—Lord, honestly, I don't know how I can lose. I can just kill them."

Zeus didn't reply, but looked at Ash. She had said before that "there are more enemies than just murlocs", which means she must have discovered other existences.

"Sir, the murlocs seem to have tamed the pollution." Ash nodded and said.
