First have North Star occupy the ghost ship. Afterwards have the NPC soldiers and knights secure it.”
“I shall take action then.”
Kkwagwang!
Kwaahahahang!
Shortly after, a bombardment between the Haven Kingdom’s ship and the ghost ship was initiated.
The ghost ship’s aiming ability was poor and soon received a blow to the bow of the ship, followed by an unrelenting assault.
It took longer than expected but the enemies finally stepped down. Users from North Star and navy knights then proceeded to cross over to the ghost ship and without much difficulty took control.
“Those Haven Kingdom guys are landing.”
Pirate King Griffith’s subordinates secretly followed Drinfeld.
The scouts’ report came to him.
“Landing in Las Phalanx … quite brave.”
Having been left behind, Griffith had no idea about the situation up front. On the other hand, the undead could not discover them either.
Thanks to the Mad Sharks of Becky Ninh, they were able to move quietly while avoiding the undead up to this point.
“Weed has already landed in Las Gigolo right?”
“Seems like it.”
Vice-Captain Corum replied.
Prior to this, the Griffith Pirates 2nd in command, the Vice-Captain had reached a compromise with a lieutenant of the Haven Kingdom’s fleet.
“What should we do now?”
“Currently, we can only wait I’m afraid.”
“Come to think of it …….”
Griffith was given a commission for Weed’s death.
Originally before an attack, pirates usually waited in rivers or seas.
But Griffith, different from any other pirate could not wait.
“Drinfeld has given us permission to land.”
“We have a hostile relationship with the Haven Kingdom’s fleet. Would they not attack?”
The kingdom’s navy fought with pirates whenever they met at sea.
As navy, catching pirates was the best method to quickly earn experience and achievements. Likewise, pirates also stormed Navy warships to acquire treasures and rewards.
In the first place, shortening the distance between navy and pirates was extremely difficult.
The number of users in the Haven Kingdom’s 2nd fleet was predominant over the number of pirates, albeit the lower overall quality.
Without even knowing the result of a battle on the seas, it would be difficult to fight and win against the users and soldiers of the Haven Kingdom on land.
“It’s ok for now. Bad Ray made the commission, if we use his name, they won’t attack us. Still, just to make sure, I’ll contact Hermes Guild on the side.”
After getting in touch with Hermes guild and obtaining approval, the Griffith Pirates were ready to land on Las Phalanx.
“We came all the way here, should at least hunt some strong monsters.”
***
Weed clicked his tongue at the Haven Kingdom.
The single ghost ship that brought him was incomparable to the enormous expedition.
“Is that the flag of Hermes Guild’s 2nd fleet?”
He was surprised not only at the power of Hermes Guild but also that they could afford to send their armed forces all the way to Las Phalanx.
It was practically the first time he encountered the notorious and acclaimed Hermes Guild.
“Why of all things have they all come here now? I just want to live and eat in peace. Things are going to get worst now.”
Returning to the area around the Sculptor’s Legacy, he felt quite a bit nervous.
He did not know the fact that Haven Kingdom’s fleet was hostile to him. However, hoping for good results in front of that many users was difficult.
“What in the world, are they even going to steal beans overflowing on the side to eat?”
He arrived at the place with the crack in the land, where Seoyoon was staring at a distant volcano. His heart flickered for a moment at the beauty that seemed to be waiting for him.
Weed’s favorite, her hair blowing in the wind, like a scene out of a movie.
“Ahem.”
As a result, Weed stood beside her.
In accordance with his undead state, the posture he held gave off a horrifying atmosphere.
Weed stood there quietly as wind brushed by his head.
As a skeleton, his hair was nonexistent!
To outsiders, this would look like an evil undead threatening the beauty of the century, Seoyoon.
Given the spontaneously emerging atmosphere, the scene shifted to look like Seoyoon, duty bound, preparing to eradicate Weed who had modified his appearance into a skeleton.
“Keuheum, time to hunt again.”
Weed took the undead army to attract Bollards.
The monsters gave savory experience as well as a lot of leather.
With the addition of Seoyoon, he could use curses and corpse explosion without discretion.
The hunting speed was very rapid due to Seoyoon's Berserker characteristic that aggroed most of the monsters toward her first.
Using the total offensive of the undead, Necromancer’s curse and corpse explosion along with Seoyoon's support changed the hunting pattern.
‘Necromancers usually don’t get along with other jobs, now with a Berserker, sounds about right.’
The Berserker job was also quite rare.
Just acquiring the job was difficult. After that, you have to hunt alone for long periods of time in dangerous areas to increase stats and skills and properly grow the job.
It was not a job available to those that wanted colleagues.
“In any case, we are going to continue hunting so irrelevant.”
After hunting in the area with the severe cracks in the land for so long, all composure was abandoned.
The biggest advantage of undead armies was the frantic hunting speed and loot.
“In order to hunt Chaos Warriors, we have to leave here and go to another place.”
Around the volcano crater, there was a dungeon.
At the large crack in the land, beneath the cliff terrain, lava flow occurred. In the middle of all that lay the dungeon.
He was about to descend down the created ladder to enter the dungeon when.
“No, no dungeons.”
As the first discoverer, he would reap the week long benefits of 2x experience and item drop rate.
But dungeon monsters are usually at higher levels than the roaming field monsters of the area by one, sometimes even two steps.
In Las Phalanx, given that the land counterpart monsters were already overwhelming, you couldn’t recklessly enter dungeon.
“If we entered the dungeon as intended and it was a narrow cave or labyrinth, I wouldn’t be able to drag the undead army and have to collapse it.”
Either way, there was not much choice for Weed.
“Short break. I need to make rice for my sister … regroup in a little while.”
It was time to eat dinner so along with Seoyoon, they logged out to rest for an hour.
Dinner was gangdoenjang, bibimbap and lukewarm bean sprout soup.
After sautéing the rice in the pot and eating dinner with his sister, Lee Hyun turned on the computer.
“Since there’s a list of new items, determining the price won’t be easy.”
The newer items were the ones obtained while hunting in Las Phalanx.
When you sew leather directly and create clothes, the price is set in accordance with the manufactured goods. The market price for jewelry also rose depending on color saturation and brilliance and yet many undiscovered items were revealed to be useless while there were numerous kinds of complex japtem.
“If there’s an opportunity, I must sell or trade the goods.”
