The young Frogmen had inherited the powerful physique and strength of their frog ancestors. Their combat ability was clearly greater than that of Murlocs; in terms of physique and strength, they were no weaker than an adult man. One blow from a hammer could often smash a Murloc flat, leaving it unable to get back up. Even though the Murlocs outnumbered them, they were still no match for the fewer Frogmen.
Within minutes, the Murlocs were routed. The Frogmen caught up and killed them one by one, then carried their bodies back to the swamp as trophies.
Only after the Frogmen had vanished from sight did Lin Xiao leave with the Nagas, his expression grave.
The battle just now showed that individual Frogmen were still weaker than Nagas, but they were far stronger than Murlocs and not much weaker than Nagas. By his overall assessment, provided neither side had advanced, three Frogmen were enough to threaten one Naga.
The mission required him to wipe out five Frogmen Tribes, each numbering between five and eight thousand. Altogether, that meant at least twenty-five thousand and as many as forty thousand Frogmen.
Fortunately, these five tribal groups were scattered apart. Individually, they posed less of a threat than a Murloc tribe of twenty thousand.

When they returned to the gathering point, several simple tents had already been
