As the Royal Guards of Bad Ray, the goal they aimed to seize was a grand guild, as instructed by the overall exterior guild management.
Guild Master Rafael was determined.
-Granted. Reveal the power of Hermes Guild.
Negotiations were made with stations.
Several stations were keen on relaying the exploration and hunting of Las Phalanx in real-time.
But KMC Media did not accept for they fully understood the situation would risk the exclusive coverage of Weed’s adventures.
“The name Drinfeld will spread across the land like Weed.”
Haven Kingdom’s fleet got up early the next day ready to explore.
“Temporarily leave 200 people at the fortress. 10 users and 190 soldiers guard the fortress and complement the defense.”
Drinfeld along with the users and crew began to explore.
Elite sailors revealed their maximum ability at sea.
On the other hand, their combat capability on land was somewhat impaired, but dedicated in their own way, the sailor troops grew.
The Griffith Pirates were the first to hunt.
“Block over there!”
“Arrows! Fire arrows! It’s best to use ranged attacks against this burning heat.”
“Wizard?”
“Pirates, where are the wizards!”
Bollards brutally killed the pirates.
The pirates had remarkable sailing skill, but they were much lower level compared to the sailors of the Haven Kingdom’s fleet. Hunting the level 400 Bollards naturally produced continuous casualties.
Kyahoooo!
With the roar of the Bollard, a myriad of pirates dropped their weapons and sank down!
Whether Griffith or the pirates, there was one principal lesson they knew, prevent countries from putting out bounties on pirates, because unless you’re lucky, it becomes difficult for pirates to deal with the general population.
From pubs, piers, casinos, alleys, etc. pirates could easily be recruited and grow even faster, however, compared to sailors, their established loyalty was low and they had weak minds. If you neglected the ship for even a little bit, they would take it away, flee and discard it after stealing money and then secede and leave the fleet.
Therefore, Pirate King Griffith rather than raise pirates handpicked several pirates that confidentially admired him as his generals and left them to their own management.
Numerically dominant along with their savage pirate nature, fought the monsters.
Under the general pirates’ leadership and command ability, the subordinate pirates were required to quickly sacrifice themselves.
It was a similar way to dropping a lion cub off a cliff and raising the survivors.
“The level of monsters is high.”
At this spectacle, the countenance of Drinfeld and users of the fleet paled a bit.
“However, this degree of resistance was already expected when forming the plan.”
From the navy knight users were leisurely words.
“Of course. The difference between us and those rabbles, it would not be right to compare ourselves with the pirates.”
In addition to Drinfeld and Haven Kingdom’s fleet were several other high level users, making them decidedly different from the pirates.
They also decided to hunt down the Bollards.
“Commence attack!”
Within the fleet, only three wizards and twelve archers used long distance attacks.
Under attack from the pouncing Bollards, Drinfeld and the navy knights fought in a manner of ambushing them.
In the midst of the battle 2 sailors died, but compared to the pirates they were only slightly damaged.
For Drinfeld though the damage was very expensive because in order to raise 1 sailor you needed a lot of time and effort.
“As we battle again and again, we will become accustomed to it. Try to minimize damage. Forward!”
Drinfeld continued hunting with his subordinates.
In the end, you cannot come to Las Phalanx without taking a bit of damage.
Hunting Bollards helps reinforce the acquisition of loot and experience.
Every sailor was placed in the middle of users or navy knights to avoid being ambushed by Bollards.
“There’s a certain degree of merit from adapting to the Bollards.”
The lineup of several high level users from Haven Kingdom’s fleet allowed for the safe hunting of Bollards. This let the weary sailors easily train and raise their levels on the Bollards.
The faces of Drinfeld and the other users lightened up.
’10 restricted zones seems somewhat exaggerated. Come to think of it, until us no one explored them. Hunting in Las Phalanx has merit.’
‘When this battle is broadcasted, my popularity will further increase.’
Quietly they hoped for greater difficulties.
Piercing through Bollards, they entered a shady place when they were suddenly attacked by Tairbeths.
The surprise attack was somewhat too big for the sailors to handle in the battlefield.
Levels in the mid to late 300s, unless the Tairbeths were suddenly alone, they would be unable to withstand the attacks and die.
Although surrounded by 5-6 Tairbeths, it was possible to hunt without dying because including Drinfeld, they numbered 28 people. The pirates on the other hand were only 15 people.
The Tairbeths were exceedingly fast and flew around brilliantly making hunting extremely difficult.
In the sea they were well trained and powerful, but without it the sailors could only be grabbed and eaten in vain.
“Sailors withdraw to the back. Users take care of your own lives!”
Drinfeld restrained himself and gave the command, Griffith gave a similar command.
While preserving the safety of the subordinates, they decided to proceed slowly with the adventure.
Landing in Las Phalanx!
The real time relay coming from each station reported significantly higher viewership.
On the stations’ viewer forums and Royal Road internet forums, a lot of posts came up.
-As expected of the 10 restricted zones. Monster levels are amazing. Haven Kingdom’s 2ndfleet’s Drinfeld holds a key position in Hermes Guild. Truly a fleet of Hermes Guild. They are slow but are carefully advancing. I expect they will uncover all of Las Phalanx.
-Bravely fighting the Bollards in the name of the navy knights. Hermes Guild has truly outstanding courage and strength.
-To explore one of the 10 restricted zones, Hermes Guild’s power is overwhelming. Makes me want to follow their courage and confidence.
-Look at this, Alba only moderately acts.
-I’m really sick and tired of Hermes’ Alba. You think you can dominate the viewer forums?
-It’s their first time in Las Phalanx, they’re just following Weed.
-Bollards and Tairbeths are really frightening. They all rapidly died.
-Weed’s alone in dangerous Las Phalanx while they act as a group pursuing him and indulge in extreme self-praise.
The thrill of exploring the 10 restricted zones caused an overflow of higher viewership, but public opinion on the internet was not on the side of Drinfeld and Hermes Guild.
However, it was a fact that many viewers felt envious toward Hermes Guild’s exploration!
Drinfeld drafted a detailed plan.
Proud of their loot from hunting in the surrounding areas, the first day lightly ended.
Due to the distant voyage, the sailors’ stamina and fatigue risked a degree of damage occurring.
Easily arriving at Las Phalanx, at that time against the herd they took slight damage. They definitely had to demonstrate their prowess.
On the second day explore dungeons in earnest.
Dungeons possessing higher difficulty levels will not be so easy.
