Jichen nodded in satisfaction.
Without wasting any more time, he waved his hand and ordered the New Moon to head to the next small golden tree that was located at a further end.
He was looking for Krieg’s warship.
At the same time, many players on the Blood Sea had also discovered that the warships of Krieg’s soldiers were loaded with crystals.
In an instant, they were all excited and began to attack the warships of Krieg’s soldiers in a planned manner.
However, unlike Jichen.
Jichen could easily finish it all by himself.
The players fully embraced the spirit of strength in numbers, gathering in groups and often surrounding a single ship or attacking hundreds of Krieg soldiers with their vast armies.
Despite the strength of the Krieg soldiers, they seemed somewhat powerless against the overwhelming force of the player’s swarm tactics.
One by one, the ships carrying crystals were captured, and the crystals were divided among the players.
Half a day later.
“Ding ~ You have obtained a battle full of honor, gained 22560 experience points, your level has increased (io-»n).”
“You have obtained 810 units of crystals.”
Jichen stood on the deck of a badly damaged warship, which was covered in blood, and collected the crystals on the ship.
This was the fifth ship he had robbed. He had obtained a total of 2200 units of crystals, which was enough for the Hero Altar.
“Alice’s upgrade requires 1600 units… Repairing the Mystic Realm Crystal
Device requires 3000 units… Sigh, still quite a shortage.”
“If I consider the future needs, it will be even more insufficient… No, the efficiency of obtaining them is still too slow. I have to go to the Holy City. After all, all the Krieg warships that venture out will eventually return there. We can take care of them all at once.”
With this thought in mind, he immediately instructed Sparrow to set sail.
They headed full speed towards the towering giant golden tree that stretched across the sky and earth.
Whether it was the Holy City detecting their intentions to plunder or not, the number of warships sailing on the Blood Sea became fewer and fewer. They searched for quite some time but couldn’t find a single ship.
The number of Krieg warships was limited, but the greed of the players was infinite.
Under the attraction of the crystal, the players turned the ship around in unison and headed straight for the Holy City.contemporary romance
They believed that there would be a crystal as tall as a mountain hidden there.
Several hours later, the New Moon crossed the Blood Sea and saw the island under the Golden Tree in the distance.
The first thing that came into sight was a tall wooden water fortress.
There were many archer towers, cannons, and crossbows, and many people.
At the center of the island further away, under the huge golden tree stood a towering city. At the highest point of the city was a Gothic castle with a pointed roof. It should be where the so-called Lord Krieg lived.
If they wanted to attack the city and castle, they had to first occupy the water village and obtain the dock before they could land.
In front of the water stronghold, dozens of fully armed warships were confronting the fleet formed by the players.
The atmosphere was extremely intense.
“Outsiders, quickly retreat and leave the Holy City and the Blood Sea. Otherwise, we will open fire!”
“Lord Krieg’s endless fury will also envelop you!!”
The commander of the water stronghold shouted angrily.
But the players remained indifferent, and some even found it amusing.
As a naturally chaotic and neutral faction, they wouldn’t willingly withdraw unless they were given some benefits.
Moreover, their side had hundreds of ships, large and small, and the combined forces, regardless of their ranks, amounted to tens of thousands.
Some players even began to mock and sneer.
“Just hand over all the crystals peacefully, and we may consider withdrawing,” the players taunted.
The Krieg soldiers were filled with anger at such audacity.
How dare these foreigners speak in such a manner on the Blood Sea!
They were the esteemed soldiers under the great Krieg!
Alongside their anger, these soldiers were also filled with deep confusion.
Where did these individuals with diverse attire and a variety of commanding troops come from?
Just a few days ago, a patrol ship reported the sudden appearance of a strange portal on the Blood Sea.
Just as they were organizing their scouting fleet to head over.
Suddenly, a dozen unfamiliar ships appeared from the door.
They attacked them without warning. What surprised them was that the ships and the invaders were not weak.
Caught off guard, the scouting fleet quickly collapsed. Only two fast assault ships managed to escape and report back, but a few transport ships that had just finished collecting the crystals from the various islands were taken away.
When Lord Krieg heard the news, he was furious and ordered them to destroy the invaders.
However, before they could gather their soldiers and fleets, these extremely despicable Inhumans suddenly appeared on the Blood Sea.
These foreigners not only relentlessly attacked crystal warehouses and outposts on various islands but also never engaged in direct confrontations with them. They preferred to outnumber their opponents, launching surprise attacks, and fleeing like rabbits.
They were impossible to catch, frustrating the Krieg soldiers to no end. It felt like punching cotton—utterly infuriating!
However, if they pursued too far, they risked being surrounded by more of these foreigners, resulting in significant losses of soldiers and ships.
It was despicable!
Encountering such enemies left the once-dominant Blood Sea forces feeling powerless. Ultimately, they had no choice but to retreat their soldiers and warships back to the water stronghold and the Holy City, hoping to avoid further losses.
Now, the numerous foreigners, with their miscellaneous armies, converged upon the area, forming layer upon layer of encirclement around the water stronghold. The atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.
The Krieg soldiers had lifted their cannons, loaded ammunition, and readied their crossbows. They were prepared to unleash their power at a moment’s notice.
Jichen frowned slightly when he saw this.
Using the tidal force, the New Moon retreated a little.
He didn’t want to suffer the first wave of attacks.
According to the situation he had observed, the defenses of the fortress and the water stronghold were very tight.
Let’s not talk about those powerful cannons.
There were dozens of crossbows and catapults everywhere, and their firepower was very fierce.
Even if the players were lucky enough to break through, they would suffer heavy casualties.
He had to think of a way…
Jichen carefully observed the island and soon made a new discovery.
The entrance to the water village was a tight shut steel gate. The water channel leading into the village was concave and was guarded by several crossbows and catapults.
Anyone who tried to enter from here would be shot into candied haws or smashed into meat paste.
He thought about it and decided to let a few shallow sea murlocs dive into the water to investigate the gate.
A few shallow sea murlocs quietly jumped into the water at the stern of the boat and arrived without alerting the Krieg soldiers.
Soon, the news came back.
The water channel under the water was blocked by the gate, and there was no gap or flaw that could be infiltrated.
This gate was probably used by the Krieg soldiers to block the blood fiends, so it was extremely hard. It was not something that the current army could break.
Interestingly, the murlocs also told him that they were not the only ones in the water below the gate. There were also many other players’ troops.
Just like Jichen, they all wanted to see if there was an entrance.
After a thorough investigation, he discovered that the defenses of the fortress and the water stronghold were extremely tight. There were no weaknesses that he could exploit.
Just as they were feeling troubled, a new fleet suddenly appeared on the sea behind them.
After seeing it clearly, the players exclaimed.
“Their ship’s sails bear a Bauhinia flower… It’s the fleet of the Bauhinia Alliance!! They’ve finally arrived!”
“But what good will it do for them to come? This place is like a turtle shell.
Even if they come, they’ll just hit a wall and suffer heavy casualties…”
“Wait, look at what they have on their ships…”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Jian Chen took notice.
The Bauhinia Alliance was the dominant force ruling over the Silver Islands. After allowing players to enter, they disappeared from sight.
Many players were well aware of the Bauhinia Alliance’s strategy. They were using them as cannon fodder, defending against the Krieg soldiers and minimizing their own losses, weren’t they?
Despite the tempting allure of the crystals, players still joined their ranks without hesitation.
Now, seeing them reappear, many players felt a slight sense of relief.
With the addition of this force, perhaps they could truly break through the fortress and enter its interior.
After all, the Bauhinia Alliance’s warships were equipped with proper cannons!
Destroying the defenses of this water stronghold was within their capabilities!
