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.
A lot of damage may occur, but when you safely finish the dungeon exploration, the compensation and broadcast effects will be amazing.
Drinfeld had the desire to increase his prestige by conquering the dangerous dungeons of Las Phalanx.
After conquering the dungeons, earnestly expand the territory in Las Phalanx. Explore the wider area and chase Weed in earnest.
In front of the watching audience, flaunt overwhelming force and kill Weed!
Send two or three navy knights to measure skill. If he was capable of dealing with him, he had a one on one match in mind.
‘Of course before that, need to get a lot of rest.’
By killing Weed, Drinfeld’s fame would pierce the heavens.
But he was greatly unaware of Weed’s confrontation and perfectly established plan using Las Phalanx.
The second day.
Through the sailors’ labor, the fortress on the hill became strong enough to not be immediately destroyed when ogres come knocking.
Nearby the pirates’ lair was built.
While hunting monsters, both parties suffered damage from 30 to 70 people. Users did not die, but the death of sailors or pirates was significantly expensive.
“Can be recovered when we return to Versailles Continent. Do not mind the damage to the sailors.”
“We will be able to enlist several people as pirates.”
For navy and pirates, fame was important.
When fame is high, lots of skilled sailors or pirates will volunteer.
