The Astra Militarum could also use the way to open the gates of the inner city wall to let the water level drop, the only problem was that the inner city wall was the last and there was no third wall behind it.

Behind the inner city walls was the warehouse and logistics department, and there were also many logistics staff, so Hudnall couldn't risk it.

Seeing the water level lowering gradually, the 1,500 Murloc were anxious. The Murloc leader led a part of his kin and frantically pounded on the fallen gate and the rest of the other Murloc rushed to the 50 water pipes.

The Astra Militarum was also on the move. 10,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum fired wildly with dozens of Artillery, the Artillery Shells didn't stop and they kept landing on the Murloc.

Because the water pipes were located right at the edge of the water, these Murloc must float on the surface to make a move. Naturally, they had to suffer a barrage of Bullets and Artillery Shells.

BOOM-!

A Murloc was hit in the head. His sturdy body staggered and it almost sank into the water.

"The bullets are working." This scene cheered up the Scientists.

The lethality of the Alloy bullets made of Starfall Iron with Vibranium was not comparable to ordinary bullets. If it was an ordinary bullet, it would just be a tickle for the Murloc.

BOOM-!

An Artillery Shell flew over. As the Murloc group was too dense, they were blasted by this shell and their backs became gray and black. In the air, there was a smell of burnt fish.

Under the frantic firing of the Astra Militarum, a Murloc was hit by dozens of bullets in a row. It was also hit by the power of an Artillery Shell, its sturdy body shook slightly. It couldn't hold it up any longer and then fell into the water.

The first Murloc killed since this battle started. Over time, more and more Murloc were injured or killed but as it was in the water, the accuracy of Artillery Shells and Bullets was also an issue, as it was not possible to hit them all.

More and more Murloc was also closing in on the lower side of the 50 pumping pipes. Witnessing this scene, Hudnall still did not panic.

He said calmly: "The projectile, throw the bombs."

On the city walls, large baskets had been placed, there were small items the size of a fist inside the buckets. Sebastian observed curiously for a few moments. It looked very similar to the hand grenades of his previous life and it could only be used at close range.

Guardsmen on the city walls reached out, grabbed a Hand Grenade, and threw it at the Murloc approaching below. There was a boom, as the Hand Grenade hit the Murloc and detonated, so the Murloc was blown up. Snow-white fish meat floated on the surface of the water.

The Murloc wasn't stupid either, as the threat from the walls was immediately spotted. They immediately held the Trident high and waved it in the air. Most of the Hand Grenades that were thrown down were blocked away, but there were still a few that went through the Trident. It was thrown at a Murloc and a few more were blown up.

"Huh?" Hudnall suddenly saw that a few more Murloc drilled into the water and scurried to the location of the water pipe.

These few Murloc were the more intelligent of their races. They were using the watery ground to fend off Hand Grenades and the Astra Militarum's attacks. One of them quietly touched the city walls, raised the trident, and forked upwards from the water. They were trying to break these water pipes.

It was just that these water pipes were also specially made, as those were made from an alloy of Starfall Iron and Vibranium. The power of the trident that was poking out from inside the water was much weaker.

Several Murloc in the water forked several times in succession, but none of them were able to break the water pipe. These Murloc were getting anxious.

A Murloc stubby fish tail swept away. Surprisingly, it sprang from the water, wielding the trident, and stabbed hard at the water pipe. How could the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum let it get away so easily?

On the city walls, countless Hand Grenades were thrown and they landed straight on this Murloc. That Murloc was brave, surprisingly, he ignored these Hand Grenades. The trident in his hand did not block Hand Grenades, but he frantically hit the water pipe. Although he was the most powerful and wise one among the Murloc, he still underestimated the power of Hand Grenades.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

Dozens of Hand Grenades fell and they caused a series of explosions. After the smoke dissipated, everyone looked over and discovered that the Murloc pieces were charred and the smell of grilled fish emanating from it was very strong. He was dead.

BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...

At the same time, the leader of the Murloc was crazily pounding on the back gate of the first city wall with dozens of other Murloc. After countless bombardments, he still didn't give up on this gate.

This was also Hudnall's strategy. Inside the city gates, there were two front city gates and two rear city gates each, both of them could be controlled by a switch! The first one was made of ordinary iron and its thickness was also average. The second was the one that the Murloc was facing now, it was very thick. Even if it was bombarded with Artillery, it wouldn't break.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

The hordes of Murloc in the rear were still frantically attacking the pumping pipes. Under this kind of desperate attack, the water pipes were transformed by being knocked by the trident and so the force of pumping was instantly reduced a lot.

This made all the Murloc feel very hopeful as the water level underneath their bodies was diminishing more and more.

ROAR-!

A Murloc led the way, immediately, all the Murloc roared in anger. They were bursting out with more speed and power than usual as they lashed out at the water pipe. In addition, there was also cooperation. Some Murloc were using their tridents to block ammunition and Hand Grenades, while some other Murloc were attacking the water pipes.

"These Murloc have launched an all-out attack." The research team's leader said solemnly.

"Fight as normal, don't mess up." Looking at the slightly impulsive Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum, Hudnall immediately ordered.

This was what made Hudnall different from other generals. With a touch of scientific elegance, even at any moment in time, he was extremely calm. There would be no hot-blooded performance. If Denis replaced him at that time, it would be inevitable that he would shout out and let the Guardsmen follow suit. He thought there was no need for that as these Murloc were already trapped.

Finally, under the frantic onslaught of thousands of Murloc, more than a dozen water pipes were deformed or cracked. However, those Murloc suffered extremely heavy casualties for this purpose.

The group of Murloc who took cover were blown out of shape and their whole body was charred and black. Inside and outside the city walls, there was a strong smell of grilled fish!

"It tastes better with some spice." Sebastian couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The Murloc were killed and injured by the blasts. With a glance, there were at least a few hundred of them and the vast majority fell under the Hand Grenades. Within close range, the accuracy of the projectile was better than that of the Artillery Shell, and the power was also good.

A bunch of Murloc suffered because of this, while the remaining big-headed fish people were still anxious. They had taken care of about a dozen of the pumping pipes, what's left is just to get another half done. That's pretty much it.

With a roar of anger, a bunch of Murloc headed for the other water pipes, it was still the same tactics as before. A portion of the group was covering the top, while the other portion of the group was attacking the water pipes with all their might.

BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...

The Murloc wielded their trident and struck on the water pipe.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

Ammunitions and Hand Grenades fell without mercy and the Murloc kept falling. Finally, after another dozen or so water pipes were knocked out of service, nearly a hundred or more Murloc were also blown up and killed.

ROAR-!

After seeing that their purpose was initially achieved, a Murloc raised his trident and roared. The other Murloc wanted to join too but the next moment, they felt that something was wrong. When they were attacking the water pipes, a lot of water was pumped up. Now underneath their bodies, the water level was down to less than a meter.

There were only about 20 water pipes left, plus there was interference from the Murloc, it was not so good anymore. Relying on that water, the damage of bullets and shells to the remaining Murloc would still be greatly reduced.

Hudnall ordered, "The pumping is over, now use the sandbags."

Above the city walls, bags of sand had been ready for a long time. After luring the Murloc in to fight on the inner wall, it had been brought up by the staff. It was not just the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum, the logistics staff also worked together and threw down lots of sandbags. There was a large trebuchet in the back.

This kind of equipment had long been eliminated in the era of Bruno but at that time, in response to the conquest, they temporarily set up several more. Of course, the performance of the new trebuchet was much, much better, and not at all on the same level as compared to the previous traditional trebuchet.

On the trebuchet, a big bag was packed and this bag contained dozens of sandbags. It was able to throw dozens of sandbags at once.

On the surrounding walls, there were other trebuchets. There were also Guardsmen and logistic staff, and even the scientists and generals watching the battle from the sidelines followed suit. They were quickly throwing down sandbags.

In the beginning, the Murloc looked confused, as they didn't know what this was. Later, they saw that the sandbags increased, and the water was covered, so they also reacted and were super furious. They raised their trident and stabbed at these sandbags.

It was just that the sandbags were not Artillery Shell, after being stabbed, what came out of it was sand, so it had no effect at all.

Time passed little by little, inside the inner walls, the number of sandbags was increasing. It was gradually filling up the water level of less than a meter. The Murloc were furious as they were not sure what to do at all, so all they could do was raise their trident.

Finally, the one-meter water level was completely covered by sandbags. At that time, there were hundreds of Murloc left, each one of them shrunk under the sandbag. Their lower bodies were in the water, as they were still more accustomed to living in the water.

The leader of the Murloc also gave up on banging the inner city gate. A few of his guards hunkered down in the corner of the city gate, this was because of the infiltration of water from outside, so there was more water.

"All-out attack." Seeing that the time had come, Hudnall gave the order.

Tens of thousands of Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum aimed their firearms and dozens of Artillery at the Murloc below and fired simultaneously. In the operation of just breaking the water pipe, out of the 1,500 Murloc, more than 500 had been killed or injured, there were almost 900 of them left. Many of them also had burned black marks on them.

In front of the continuous firing of bombardment, a group of Murloc raised their Trident to block but the biggest difference was that the Murloc was now stuck between the sandbags, so they were completely unable to slide freely. Their huge bodies were more like a burden.

At that time, they became a living target.

BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

Artillery Shells, Bullets, and Hand Grenades kept falling and most of them fell on those who couldn't move an inch. The explosions were continuous.

Inside the inner wall, there was a cloud of smoke. Immediately after that, there was an unprecedented strong smell of grilled fish.

ROAR-!

A Murloc could not stand it any longer. He climbed straight out from the sandbags and raised the trident. Unfortunately, there was no more water and their speed was slower than ordinary people, so his fishtail twisted and turned. An Artillery Shell fell on him, and he was blown away.

After getting there, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, as this battle had been decided.

Sebastian also relaxed his mind.
