"We can already see it." In the American region's fleet, several guild leaders were waiting anxiously. Yes, they were indeed a little anxious. According to the current news, the Hua Xia region was now developing very smoothly on the Dark Continent. After a few days of development, they had occupied almost the entire southeastern continent.
Of course, the benefits they obtained were also huge. There were many special materials, herbs, and supplies on the Dark Continent. The monsters also gave a lot of experience, and the equipment they dropped was also good. The players in the Hua Xia region were now posting all kinds of rewards on the internet, posting all the good items they obtained. Seeing this, players from other regions were really envious. Now, everyone wanted to log in as soon as possible.
Now that the American region had seized this second opportunity to log in, it was only natural for them to be anxious. Hence, when the NPCs contacted them, they immediately signed up to participate in the landing battle. At present, the area occupied by the Hua Xia region was only the southeastern area. The rest of the area was still undeveloped. As long as they logged in, the benefits they would receive would not be much less than the Hua Xia region.
However, this voyage was indeed a little unpleasant. Not only did it take a long time, but it was also pitch-black during the voyage. After entering the territory of the Dark Continent, they could not see anything clearly. The range of visibility was extremely small. Fortunately, the ship was advancing according to the coordinates, so they would not lose their way. Still, not being able to see anything made them really anxious. Now that they had been sailing for more than half a day, they could finally see the outline of the port. This made them very excited.
"We're finally here. Now, we're the second region to log in." Everyone was a little excited.
"Will this landing mission be very difficult?" a few players next to them asked worriedly.
"Thanks to the experience in the Hua Xia region, we have already grasped the weaknesses of these monsters," another player said. The monsters he was talking about were, of course, the Sektor Star monsters. The weaknesses were, of course, the Sektor Star monsters' photophobia. Indeed, this characteristic was very useful in battle. In fact, as long as the players fought with the Sektor Star monsters with a torch, the difficulty of the battle would be reduced by at least half. After a few days of fighting, the players in the Hua Xia region had already adapted to fighting with them. Of course, this experience was also learned by the players from other regions.
"Besides, this mission is only A-rank. It definitely won't be too difficult."
"But these monsters' levels are still quite high. If there are a lot of them …" the player said worriedly.
"How is that possible? Has there ever been a situation where there are a lot of wild monsters in the Hua Xia region? I've heard that encountering over a thousand players in a single city is already an incredible feat. How many players do we have right now? Not to mention, we also have NPCs to help us, "another player said.
Of course, the NPCs didn't send many troops, but these ships weren't just for show. The ships were all filled with cannons. If they really encountered trouble, these ships would of course help. Their goal was the same. They all wanted to establish an outpost, so they would definitely help.
"That's true." The players relaxed as they looked at the sturdy ships and cannons. Looking at the city that had already appeared in their sights, all of the players began to yearn for the beautiful future.
At this moment, the NPC soldiers informed them that the landing battle had officially begun. That's right, this was the limit for the ships. If they continued, they might run aground. Hence, they could only provide cover here. The rest of the work was for the Landing Ships to prepare to land. The players had been waiting for a long time. When they heard the order, they rubbed their palms and got ready to fight.
Finally, the landing battle officially began. All sorts of Landing Ships filled with players sailed toward the port in front of them. As soon as they approached, they were attacked from the shore. That's right. Due to the poor visibility, they could only see the outline of the city at this distance. They couldn't see anything else. They didn't know how many people were on the shore either. In any case, they were attacked. All sorts of arrows, ballista bolts, and cannons flew out of nowhere and started shooting at their Landing Ships.
Of course, even though they were attacked, the Landing Ships didn't stop. They braved the cannons and charged forward. At this time, the ships on the sea also launched auxiliary attacks. Although they couldn't see the exact location of the enemy, they just had to attack the city first.
The battle reached its climax as soon as it began. However, when the Landing Ships were very close to the shore, they discovered that there weren't many enemies on the shore.
"There aren't many people on the other side. Everyone, go!" Seeing this situation, the players were of course very excited. They did not expect the other party to have so few people. They definitely didn't have as many Landing Ships as they did. Was this not a simple battle?
Yes, there really weren't many garrison troops on the shore. When the players began to land, the garrison's defense began to be stretched thin. The methods learned in the Hua Xia District to deal with the Sechtor monsters were indeed quite useful. As more and more players landed, the battle began to lean towards the Americas.
"We won, we won." Seeing thousands of players breaking through the front line of the Sechtor monsters' defense and rushing toward the center of the town, several American guild chairmen also said excitedly. At present, it seemed that the landing battle in the Americas was really very successful.
At this time, the city lord of Willings City, Sashusky, was also panicking to death. Yes, the reinforcements had not arrived yet, and the mission he received was to defend Willings City to the death. Of course, he also knew how many people the other party's fleet had come. It was impossible to defend the city to the death. He could only hope that the reinforcements would arrive faster, but unfortunately, they did not make it in time in the end.
In the face of this group of ferocious players, his troops could not resist for long. They were crushed in a shorter time than he expected. Sashusky did not know what to do now. When he heard the news of the collapse of the front line, of course, he wanted to run away. However, if he ran away and was caught by the church, he would still be put on trial. He did not complete his mission. However, if he did not run... Was he not waiting for death?
"Sir City Lord, we can't hold on any longer. Where are the reinforcements?" A soldier rushed in and asked.
"Sir City Lord, let's run. The reinforcements must be arriving soon. When the reinforcements arrive, we'll fight our way back."
In the end, fear still prevailed over reason. Sashusky did not care if he would be held accountable by the church later. It was better to run first. So, taking advantage of the fact that the players had not attacked, he escaped from Willings City with the rest of the troops.
Because the City Lord had run away, the battle was over when the players reached the center of the city. Yes, no one expected this landing battle to be so smooth. The battle lasted for about half an hour. Everyone received the notification that the mission was completed. They had successfully occupied Willings City. They had conquered the first stronghold on the Dark Continent.
"Success, we've successfully landed!"
"We've finally landed. We're rich now."
The players in the American region were all excited. The entire city was filled with a joyous atmosphere. However, before they could celebrate for a while, a sudden explosion came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion. It came from the sea.
Due to the black fog, no one knew what had happened. They only wondered why there was an explosion. After waiting for a while, they received news from the NPCs that their ship had been attacked.
"What? Our ship was attacked? " The players were a little nervous. After asking around, they found out that it was an NPC fleet that had come out of nowhere that had attacked their fleet. The current situation of the battle was not very clear. Although they were not far away, it was very difficult to communicate with them because of their vision.
Of course, the fact that the enemy had a fleet was not very surprising. In fact, everyone had thought of it before. However, their fleet was so large that it should not be a problem.
Although that was what the players thought, the fleet was really in big trouble now. They were indeed attacked, but they still didn't know what it was that attacked them. That's right, because the visibility around them is too problematic, the fleet's preparations in this regard are really not sufficient. Currently, they only know that they are being attacked, but as for the specifics of what is attacking them and how many enemies there are, they don't have a clear answer.
"Where are the enemy troops?" The captain of the fleet, Dicus, asked anxiously. However, it was useless to just ask. No one had the experience of fighting in such an environment. Now, it was a mess.
"Commander, this is not good for us. Should we retreat for now?" The adjutant next to him asked.
"Retreat?" Dicus was stunned. It was not easy for him to take down the enemy's city. This huge credit was placed in front of him, and now he was asked to retreat? This was impossible. "We can't retreat. Expand the search area. I want to see how powerful the enemy is."
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out. Just as they were talking, a warship next to them suddenly exploded violently. Everyone saw that the entire ship seemed to be broken in two from the middle. There was no doubt that this ship couldn't be saved.
"This … What's going on?" As the explosion happened not far from him, Dicus also saw it. However, he did not know what hit it. Did the enemy have such a powerful weapon? Was it able to sink their ship in one go?
What they did not know was that above their heads, two giant black creatures were hovering in the air. On one of the giant beasts was a familiar figure.
