Chapter 894 - 846: Blood Sea Wave’s Ambush Location
Although Blood Sea Wave verbally insisted that today would be the day Da Fei meets his doom, deep down, he had no intention of underestimating him.
The player’s conventional forces certainly aren’t a match for his elite NPC pirates, but Da Fei clearly brought along a mission unit, which is a different story. Last time, Da Fei caused a worldwide sensation by defeating a Demigod with a mission NPC. This time, his strength is definitely no weaker than the lineup that killed the Demigod before.
Therefore, Blood Sea Wave quickly asked the Black Water pirate fleet captain leading the group this time, a pirate hero with a sullen face and slender figure: "Blood Hook, the prey has set sail, including three large sailing fast ships and a giant warship. Do you have confidence?"
Although Blood Sea Wave asked, he didn’t expect a direct answer from this arrogant pirate, perhaps just a cold snort. After all, in the eyes of other pirate factions, the power of the newly powerful Desolate Barbarians isn’t recognized by others.
In fact, Blood Sea Wave only found out later that, without the remote orders from the Pirate King, other pirate factions would have already swallowed up the weakened Desolate Barbarians. After all, the Pirate King would never allow any pirate faction to have two territories. Thus, each pirate faction had to be permanently stationed on the Desolate Islands in a joint form, both monitoring each other and protecting the Desolate Barbarians from being wiped out by kingdom pirates.
Unexpectedly, Blood Hook spoke gloomily: "Do you know where Rock ran off to?"
Rock? Blood Sea Wave was stunned for a moment before recalling Rock was the former leader of the Desolate Barbarians, realizing the plot had been triggered again.
Blood Sea Wave hurriedly said: "After Rock’s last battle with Barak, he was severely injured and fled to the Eastern World. Because Barak said that there was no place for defeated pirates to hide anywhere else in the world except the Eastern World."
Blood Hook said coldly: "Rock is an ambitious guy, privately researching various tactical weapons attempting to challenge the Pirate King, which led to him being warned. His fire-spitting cannon ship was evidence of his wrongdoing. Oh, that little vixen who set sail is his illegitimate child with a kingdom noble’s mistress; those cannons must have been secretly developed with the help of that mistress. Now you should know how capable Rock is, right? Facing such an opponent, who dares say they are confident?"
Blood Sea Wave was shaken to his core! So, Da Fei’s Vice Hero is actually Rock’s daughter? An Epic Hero? Also skilled in making fire-spitting cannons? Why does Da Fei get all the benefits! Blood Sea Wave’s heart bled!
Blood Sea Wave gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how powerful Rock was, he still fell to me once, and there will be a second time! Besides, our opponent is not Rock. Even if we fight to the death, we have no reason to lose to his little brat, right?"
Blood Hook said coldly: "Fight to the death? It’s easy for you to say! I’ve never seen any pirate fight to the death. If they can’t beat you, won’t they escape? Can’t they hold on until the navy arrives?"
Blood Sea Wave quickly unfolded a Sea Chart: "With such a large formation, they must be on a voyage to the Eastern World to meet Rock, and they must pass through the Frostwind Strait, full of reefs and mist, which is our best ambush spot. There’s no escape; it’s either you die or I die, and being far from the mainland guarantees no reinforcements!"
Blood Hook coldly smiled: "Good, a little common sense! Target - Frostwind Strait!" He said, waving his hand, and the entire fleet resumed rowing.
Blood Sea Wave coldly smiled to himself; even if Da Fei is a god, once he’s in Frostwind Strait, I would crash every pirate ship to sink them all if needed! These are not the kingdom’s junk ships; once rammed, you’d be finished!
...
At Elorin Port, under the watchful escort of numerous small merchant ships, Da Fei’s fleet formally met with Catherine’s Golden Spearfish.
——System Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina invites you to join her team. Do you agree?
Da Fei laughed heartily, agreed!
——System Prompt: You have joined Katelina’s team, appointed as the team commander, and triggered the Epic Quest "Catherine’s Revenge"!
——Task Hint: Catherine’s father Rock was wounded and fled to the Eastern World. You must quickly find Rock.
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, finally a quest, and it’s an epic one! Alright, if it wasn’t epic, it wouldn’t be worthy of this voyage. Let the epic come even more fiercely!
At this moment, the signal officer entered again with a report: "Commander Captain, the Golden Spearfish is requesting to take the lead."
Da Fei nodded: "Agree!"
Katelina has a Master-level Nautical Divine Skill "Navigation Skill," known as the Locomotive; when a fast ship leads, it greatly boosts the speed of the "caboose" merchant ships in the convoy to prevent lag.
Given the Flying’s current heavily loaded state, also containing a meaty Hydra and a giant landing tank Nasir Ancient Tree, the speed couldn’t be any faster; indeed, it’s not fit to be a locomotive now.
Now, with the Golden Spearfish leading, the convoy lined up heading east. Da Fei had a lot to ask Katelina, but unfortunately, her ship didn’t install a Teleportation Array and didn’t plan to come over to reminisce, so Da Fei had to observe her troops instead.
Currently, Katelina’s forces consist of 300 pirate soldiers and three NPC pirates of unknown origin. The main difference between pirate soldiers and regular troops is their Sea Battle Mastery special skill, meaning additional battle power at sea. Moreover, pirate soldiers can engage in melee, climb, and do long-range throwing, a truly versatile unit.
Additionally, Pirate Heroes themselves have a "Pirate Training" special skill, meaning akin to carrying special soldier training, living up to the hidden profession title of pirate.
Speaking of special soldier training, Da Fei remembered the Gru Inheritance’s Divine Archer Training. In short, take advantage of the long voyage time to train the troops, as his aren’t specialized naval combat units, needing further enhancement to bridge the gap.
Oh right, there’s also his Monk hanging in prayer to accumulate piety points; seems Da Fei is quite busy.
Da Fei selected a Jungle Hunter. At this moment, this Jungle Hunter’s attribute was boosted by his abnormal attribute bonus to be quite overwhelming:
——Jungle Hunter: Elf Level 3 Soldier, attack 325 (base 6), Defense 225 (base 5), Life 51 (base life 14, survival will +50%, Ultimate Sea Monster +20%, three plague achievements +15%, Blood Armor Battle Helmet 5%, base increase to 26, Equipment Achievement adds another 25, total 51)
Damage 12-15 (base 5-8)
Attack Speed 23 (base 13, Speed Cloak 10%, Corpse Demon Plague 5%, Earth Dragon Boots 15%, base increase 25% to 16, equipment +7, total 23)
Special Skills: Double Shot, Penetration, Precision Shot, Arrow Formation, Melee Penalty.
Oh my gosh! Attack 325, Defense 225, Life 51! Who would believe this is the renowned fragile Jungle Hunter from the Elf Clan? This is basically an alien being! Let’s make the alien even more outlandish.
Train!
——System Prompt: You use "Divine Archer Training" on the Jungle Hunter unit, training successfully! You successfully converted a Jungle Hunter unit to a Divine Archer, increasing base damage by 2, shooting range by 10%, hit rate by 50%! (Note: If this unit is not under your command, Divine Archer effects will not manifest).
Oh yeah! A simple success, my Grandmaster-level special soldier training’s bonus is no joke. Speaking of which, even Leader-level Angels can be promoted by me; these ordinary Level 3 soldiers are a piece of cake.
Next!
...
At 5:10 PM, the fleet entered the open sea with high winds and big waves, speeding up again, while the trailing small boats dispersed unable to keep up; no city information appeared in the channel anymore, and land could no longer be seen on the distant horizon, only endless sea in all directions, without many ship sails visible.
Da Fei initially thought the Royal Family would organize a group to intercept at sea, but seeing the situation, they have no chance. Their IQ is actually normal; if they can’t stop even a single ship, let alone the entire fleet. So, their focus on sabotage is in the city, right?
Fine, I’ve already called a group of NPC reinforcements in the city. If that allows you to succeed, I’d accept it!
