Lower the base supplies.”
“Come on, move without ceasing. We must create the barrier by the end of the day."
Users and soldiers of Haven Kingdom’s fleet busily moved.
Information about Las Phalanx was in a darkened state.
They knew nothing about the monster or terrain.
Generally, an adventurer party of individual wanders around. To that extent, monsters don’t react significantly.
However, monsters are sensitive to large-scale landings of humans and attack in droves. Under no circumstances could there not be a boundary.
“Construct a base on the hill near the landing area and explore Las Phalanx.
Drinfeld and the senior part of the fleet in order to maximize the contrast between relaxation and exploitation, tried to create a fortress for maintenance as soon as possible.
You need to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep to quickly restore morale and stamina.
When you put a barrier around the hill, even against monster attacks, just considering the materials used to build the barrier, it is much safer than simple awning tents.
It was for the Haven Kingdom’s fleet’s main force of users rather than the NPC sailors, soldiers, etc.
For the users belonging to the fleet, it was not easy coping with the tedious voyage exceeding 1 month.
As seaman, it was normal for most of them to own their own ship. But when on a boat ride for a long time, due to the decrease in morale, all sorts of things tend to break out.
There were quite a few possible headaches such as rebellion, riots, homesickness, etc.
Commanding the soldiers and Navy knights, Drinfled had to pay special attention to morale and fatigue.
“We’re short on wood Captain!”
“Captain, I can’t get wood.”
Trees could not grow in the barren, unmatched environment of Las Phalanx.
Leaving the distantly visible monsters, Drinfled replied.
“To create the barrier, dismantle a ship and obtain a number of stones to pile up.”
“Yes sir.”
Users and the crew squatted down to carry the rocks.
Due to the distant voyage, extreme fatigue accumulated, but even in that state, they did not have the time to relax in order to make camp.
Carrying the heavy stone blocks and busily establishing the wall decreased stamina.
“Scouts, make observations on the surroundings.”
Drinfeld sent out the scouts to thoroughly prepare.
Five scouts quickly went around the vicinity to determine the quantity of monsters and the extent of their range before returning back.
“Special danger signs are visible.”
“The monsters roaming around seem to be under control of an intelligent boss class monster.”
The news put Drinfeld in a good mood. If it was just a massive raid of monsters, to some extent it brought your mind to rest.
“How is the terrain?”
“The terrain is very bad. Because most of the area is steep rock, it seems it will be difficult to move during a raid.”
As the battle goes on, it gets more difficult to fight systematically in the rugged rocky area.
Furthermore, for the Haven Kingdom’s crew, they were more accustomed the sea rather than the land.
“When monsters move around to bypass, it seems like it will take a lot of time. And even with scouts constantly on watch, I’m curious … is this place really safe?”
Part of the scouts could not be sure.
Nearby one of the volcanoes gave off black smoke and the land was shaken a little. Through the cracks of the cleft earth, lava flowed.
“Well, since Weed arrived much earlier than us, there’s no way it can be safe.”
“You’re absolutely right.”
The crew was committed to creating the walls well into the night.
Haven Kingdom’s 2nd fleet’s crew are said to be at least 250 in level.
But on average, the majority of the users were in the late 200s to early 300s.
Users were only 46 people, the soldiers numbered 590 people.
With tents and the barrier, they created a strong shelter as a place to rest.
Needless to say, they did not forget to establish appropriate alternating lookouts.
In the meantime, Griffith Pirates made contact with the leaders of Hermes Guild to land.
- Absolutely not allowed. Haven Kingdom’s fleet is more than enough to hunt Weed.
Persistent Hermes Guild was unmatched.
When the fleet landed in Las Phalanx, they did not feel pleasant at the thought of the pirates exploiting the hunting grounds or unearthing relics in their area.
Griffith came up with a concession.
-I will prohibit pirates from conducting hostilities on all Hermes Guild ships.
- Not allowed.
-Willing to concede 3 treasures excavated from dungeons.
-Las Phalanx is obviously a unique area of our Hermes Guild.
Having first landed just a few hours ago, Hermes Guild shamelessly claimed the vested rights!
The prestigious guild of the center of the continent, however, the word shameless was horribly insufficient for the Hermes Guilds.
Unfortunately for Griffith’s side, he learned he could not enter into negotiations as desired and would continue to be dragged around.
Griffith sent a final ultimatum.
-To save face, Hermes guild may take as much as 30% of the treasure. We are pirates of the sea. We are not afraid of Haven Kingdom’s 2nd fleet. Think about our concessions, I look forward to your sincere response.
Leaders of Hermes Guild unfortunately had to give permission.
Haven Kingdom’s 2nd fleet landed in Las Phalanx. After landing, the defense of the ships became weakened. If something as extreme as a pirate attack happened, it would be a big problem.
After getting landing permission, late at night the pirates put their first step on Las Phalanx.
“Pirate King-nim, shall we set up base?”
“We don’t have the time. Today we are obliged to stay on the other side.”
Around the fortress built by the Haven Kingdom’s fleet, the Griffith Pirates enclosed their bodies with thin blankets.
