At the same time, in the second-class passenger area of the Star of Hope, the passengers here are fully armed and guarded at various vital parts. They did not show too much nervousness. In fact, they are in the Velun mainland. Most of the people who have gone through the Lost City and came out alive have temporarily forgotten their fears and fears. In their eyes, the pirates are no different from the monsters who are hidden in the city and want to eat them at any time. Killing the pirates is their only way out.
Although all the people here are surviving adventurers, and others see their identities the same, but if you look closely at the line of defense they have laid out according to their own ideas, it is not difficult to find that they still have a higher and lower position among these adventurers. difference.
The scattered adventurers are arranged near the entrances of the second-class cabin, which belong to the first line of defense. These adventurers are all armed with mechanical bows, crossbows, swords and other weapons.
The second line of defense is a dozen adventurous teams in the form of small teams. These people hold different weapons. There are even some extraordinary people like shamans and wizards. They guard the entrance according to their own habits. Several small cabins not far away can take over the adventurers of the first layer of defense at any time.
The last layer of defense is a large adventure team composed of three dozen people. They arrange the defense line exactly according to their own wishes. Two of the adventure teams chose to deploy defenses outside the cabin, and even moved out the various furniture in the cabin to command Adventurers from other lines of defense formed fortifications. From their arrangement, it is not difficult to see that there should be officers and the like who have been on the battlefield, because all fortifications are very similar to military fortifications.
As for the last adventure team, when everyone was making various preparations to meet the pirates, they were very abruptly locked in their own cabin suite, as if they didn't want to fight with the pirates.
Although everyone present was extremely annoyed by the behavior of this adventure group, none of the adventurers dared to knock on the door and accuse them, including the big adventure group, because the adventure group in the room was mixed with them. In the minds of the lower-level adventurers, there is a completely different existence, and various rumors in the past remind them all the time that people who deal with this adventure team will have no good end.
In fact, the adventurers outside the house do not know that in the adventurer team in the cabin, not everyone is convinced by their captain’s order to stay in the cabin. Among them, almost half of the newly-joined newcomers are arguing with the captain. Strive, hope to make the captain change his mind.
"If you want to participate in the battle, you can participate by yourself, you don't need to follow my orders." Cantor Feimeng, the founder and captain of Feimeng team, looked at the dozen or so men who tried to persuade him, and said coldly: "However, remember that if you violated my order, you will be automatically dismissed from the team, and you will no longer be a member of the Fei Meng team." As he said, he directly removed a stack of Ladies Church Bank in the Lake from the backpack on the side. He put his cash check on the table and said, "This is your reward for this adventure. I can pay you in advance."
Seeing Cantor Feimeng say such decisive words, those who questioned Cantor Feimeng were all dumbfounded. Obviously they didn’t expect to just persuade their captain to participate in the defensive war against the pirates, but they would retreat. Everyone was silent at time.
Although it is a good thing to be able to get the reward for this adventure in advance, if it is at the cost of leaving the Fei Meng team, as long as the smarter people know how to choose, some people may even be willing to return the reward. In exchange for the qualification to stay in the team.
As the top adventure team in the world of Velen, the Fei Meng team can obtain the greatest benefits with minimal casualties every time they enter the Lost City. It is even rumored that Cantor Fei Meng, the leader of Fei Meng's team, has mastered an ability. Avoid the monsters safely, or prevent the monsters from finding the intruder.
Before joining the team, the newcomers to the Fei Meng team did not believe such rumors very much, but after they completed one or two adventure missions, they vaguely felt that the rumors might be true, because during the entire adventure, Cantor ·Fei Meng seemed to have a divine enlightenment. He was able to know the appearance of monsters and their attack methods in advance, and made targeted arrangements. Except for a few idiots and unlucky ones, he failed to follow his arrangements and died. In the hands of monsters, other people are in their entirety in the adventure.
An adventure with the Fei Meng team is ten times that of other adventure teams, and the danger encountered is much smaller than that of other adventure teams. Anyone with a little brain knows how much it is to become a member of the Fei Meng team. Lucky things.
The atmosphere in the room became dignified and embarrassing. The people who were still generously persuading Cantor Feimeng just now fell silent, and looked at the old players sitting elsewhere, as if they wanted it. Several veteran players pleaded, but as for the remuneration on the table, no one touched or even looked at it.
However, those veteran team members are obviously going to live up to the expectations of the newcomers. They have no intention of pleading at all, because they know very well that the reason Cantor Feimeng made such a strong statement is to take this opportunity to educate these people. Newcomers who have never experienced the pain, let them know the importance of following orders, and by the way weed out those who do not meet the basic requirements of the team.
It is not enough to join the Fei Meng team. In fact, personal combat power only accounts for a small part of the basic conditions for joining the team, because combat power can be cultivated in the later stage, and the conditions for joining the team are the most The most important thing is to follow orders.
The surviving old people all know the importance of obeying orders, because they have personally experienced the fact that one person did not follow the order and almost killed the entire Feimen team, so they very much support Cantor Feimen’s decision. .
However, the only woman among the old team members did not know whether she could not bear to see the new team members continue to be in this awkward situation, or did not like the solemn atmosphere in the room, deliberately changed the subject and pointed to Cantor Feimeng The big box next to him said: "Those guys must have come for this thing. They want to regain the teaching status of the sky lord by taking back the of the sky lord church. Sure, shall we not prepare it?"
Canto Feimeng looked at the old players and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm ready for everything I should prepare."
Hearing what Canto Feimeng said, not only the new team members looked blank, but the old team members were also confused.
Because they don’t know what Cantor Feimeng’s preparation was. In their memory, after getting on the boat, Cantor Feimeng has been with them all the time. The only instruction issued is to keep everyone in. In the cabin, even if the captain of the Star of Hope came to persuade them to join the battle against the pirates, he still did not change Cantor Feimeng’s decision. It seems that Cantor Feimeng is not prepared for the pirate attack. Look like.
However, everyone in the room also knew that Cantor Feimeng was not a person who likes to talk casually. Since he said he was prepared, he must be prepared, but the preparation in his mouth may be different from the preparation in everyone's mind. .
or in the trust of Canto Feimeng, or perhaps it is clear that it is impossible to get the answer from Canto Feimen, so everyone present did not ask Canto Feimen what the preparation was.
A slightly younger veteran team member seemed to want to find a topic casually to pass the time. He pointed to the big box and asked, "Don’t you clean up the stuff in there? Although it’s already dried out, there is not much smell, but Bring it to the auction house like this, I'm afraid..."
"This is good. I just want this effect, and I will also ask the auction house not to clean up the things on it." Cantor Feimeng smiled triumphantly on his face, and reached out to touch his side. "I can’t wait to see the hypocritical guys of the Church of the Lord of the Sky see their gods being eaten by monsters and then turned into dung and pulled out and put on the table for auction. Emoji."
Seeing how Cantor Feimeng is now, all the new and old players on the field were a little speechless. They knew that they were a very sensible captain even in the face of death. Once it comes to things related to the Church of the Lord of the Sky, there is nothing at all. Reasonable.
At this time, a new team member sitting at the door suddenly changed his complexion slightly, then stood up suddenly from the chair, skillfully took out the weapon, aimed at the door, and reminded everyone, "Something's wrong outside!"
Although it is not clear what is wrong with the companion's mouth, everyone unanimously took out the weapon, aimed at the two entrances of the cabin, and used their own methods to find and analyze what the companion said was wrong.
"It's too quiet." Someone soon revealed the answer.
As this person said, there were all kinds of hustle and bustle noises coming out at the previous moment, but at this moment it was as silent as the wilderness in the dark, and even the breathing of the people in the room seemed to be It looks so harsh as if it were magnified more than ten times.
"Don't worry, just stay quiet." Compared to the vigilant players around, Canto Feimeng is obviously very relaxed. He seems to already know what is happening outside and calms everyone with an extremely relaxed tone. Emotions, and a deep smile appeared on his face, it felt like a hunter who saw his prey hooked.
Compared with Cantor Feimeng's ease and confidence, the captain of the Star of Hope looks very desperate at this moment.
Before, although he did not think that the defense he had deployed could repel the fleet of three great pirates, he was very confident that he could sustain the battle until the arrival of support. With the sound of the horn, the sea monsters in the nearby waters would inevitably come. Support, with the help of the Kraken, let alone a dozen pirate ships, even if you add a dozen more, they will still be buried in the sea.
It’s just that what he never expected was that the enemy’s offense was so unexpected, so powerful, and so effective. Before he understood what was going on, he saw his heavily armed crew fall down and fall asleep. , There are only a few crew members who are protected by extraordinary items, or who are extraordinary persons themselves, barely able to stay awake, but their bodies are as weak as him and their hands are weak. In this state, they can’t even hold weapons and stand up even more. It's impossible. Either hold on to the objects next to him or just lie on the ground.
"Damn it, what's going on?" The captain looked at the fallen crew member and then at the pirate ship gradually emerging from the thick fog. His face was full of despair, and he muttered to himself: "It's over. We are all done!"
At this time, he thought of Leo Dodd, thinking that if Leo Dodd was the person he knew, there might be hope, and he was even looking forward to seeing Leo Dodd suddenly emerge from the fog. , And then destroy all the pirate ships at sea, let the Star of Hope out of trouble.
However, the captain was disappointed, until the extraordinary items on his body lost their effect, and the whole person passed out under the influence of inexplicable power, and the miracle he was expecting did not appear.
At the same time, the pirate ships that were close to the Star of Hope had already thrown the hook and grabbed the side of the ship. They could jump to the Star of Hope at any time, but the strange thing was that they did not continue to attack, but followed the Star of Hope. Sailing forward, the ship felt more like protecting the ship.
However, this kind of entourage did not last long. After a striking brazier was lit on each of the three pirate flagships, the pirates who had been eager for a long time could not wait to jump to the Star of Hope. On the ship, the well-trained crew found the unconscious crew members, skillfully collected the weapons from the crew, and tied the crew together.
As the leader of the three pirate ships, Henry Tooth, the sea witch Motana, and the old sea dog Jenint did not pay attention to the movement on the deck after they boarded the ship. They seemed to have grasped the structure of the Star of Hope as quickly as possible. Found the way to the second-class cabin, and then opened the way by his men and walked towards the second-class cabin.
Although they were very confident in their potions and spells, they did not dare to be paralyzed, and the subsequent events proved that their caution was very correct.
They encountered an attack when they entered the main cabin of the second class cabin. Several passengers with extraordinary powers did not completely lose consciousness. After seeing the pirates, they instinctively raised the mechanical crossbow in their hands to attack and walked on. The first few pirates were killed on the spot because they were too careless, and the passengers seemed to have exhausted their last strength and passed out into a coma.
These people were originally to be dismembered by the angry pirates on the spot, but they were stopped by the Sea Witch and suggested that these people should be sold as slaves. The other two also agreed with the Sea Witch's decision.
After that, they didn't make more stops and went straight to the cabin suite of Fei Meng team.
