In response to Feng Qianyu's question, Shifeng shook his head. He wasn't as interested in Thunder Island as Feng Qianyu thought.
However, after giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng found it reasonable.
If one truly understood Thunder Island's current situation, they would know just how intense the competition was.
Three Super Guilds had already taken action, let alone super-first-rate Guilds. Moreover, these Super Guilds weren't just messing around. They were mobilizing all of their elites to seize control of Thunder Island. That way, they could establish a temporary Guild teleportation point and lay a solid foundation for exploring the Sea of Death in the future.
After all, the journey from land to the Sea of Death was quite long. Even if one traveled from the Apocalypse Empire's closest coastal town to the Sea of Death by speedboat, it would still take more than a day to reach the Sea of Death.
Without a sufficiently powerful fleet, it would be impossible to secure the necessary foundation to secure Thunder Island's victory.
Sea monsters were already stronger than land monsters. Dealing with the Sea Monster SS was even more difficult. Even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion had sacrificed many elite and expert players to kill one Sea Monster. They had also lost over 30 speedboats. Not even first-rate Guilds could afford such losses. In the end, they would only be able to secure one or two entry passes.
To the Ling YI Society, which had no naval foundation, if it wished to intervene, it would most likely have to pay a much higher price to secure a single entry pass than the Pavilion.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng looked at Feng Qianyu and said, "Give me 20 slots, and I can help you defend two ancient towers. The price is 20,000 Magic Crystals and a temporary teleportation point on Thunder Island. If you fail, I won't take a single Magic Crystal. I won't ask for any compensation for my deaths, either."
Occupying a monster encampment on Thunder Island was extremely difficult. The monsters' strength depended on the player's level when they entered the island. On average, the monsters in an encampment were Chieftain rank or above. Without Tier 2 players, the Sea Monsters defending the encampment were Grand Lords. In addition, other Guilds could come to contest the encampment at any time.
Most importantly, these monsters had extremely high Defense and Magic Resistance. Ordinary raiding strategies wouldn't succeed. Raiding these monsters would only be easier with the help of the ancient towers.
Meanwhile, the more ancient towers one occupied, the easier it would be to deal with these monsters.
However, there were only a limited number of ancient towers on Thunder Island. The various large Guilds would definitely send their members to compete for these towers. However, they would not send too many. After all, monster encampments were the most important.
Hence, to ensure the safety of the ancient towers, most Guilds would need 15 to 20 players to defend each tower. Normally, they would be able to occupy three or four ancient towers. With the strength of an expert team, 100 players were more than enough to take down a monster encampment.
Now that he had taken over the defense of two ancient towers, Feng Qianyu's side would have an easier time. At the very least, they would be able to save at least ten people to help occupy monster encampments.
"Secure the two ancient pagodas?" Feng Qianyu fell into deep thought.
In order to ensure the stability of the towers, she had sent out twenty people to guard each tower. Three towers meant sixty people. The remaining hundred people were more than enough to take down one colony. This was also her most conservative plan. Ideally, she would try to take down two colonies, but it was too difficult.
If what Shifeng had said was true, she would save 20 players. If she could secure the two ancient towers, she could also get her fleet on Thunder Island to work harder. She might even be able to secure two or three more Teleportation Passes before the contest for Thunder Island began. It was indeed possible for her to secure the two encampments.
Only, securing the temporary teleportation points for Guilds was too difficult.
Even after securing one encampment on Thunder Island, she had only secured two temporary teleportation points. Meanwhile, she had already promised another large Guild that would assist her in securing the other teleportation point. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to secure so many Teleportation Passes.
In other words, she needed to secure the two encampments.
However, there were too many uncertainties.
Moreover, Feng Qianyu found it hard to believe that the Ling YI Society had so many powerful experts. They actually needed only 20 players to defend two ancient towers.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Shifeng asked curiously when he saw Feng Qianyu's silence.
"I won't hide it from you, President Hei Yan. You can only secure two temporary teleportation points for each encampment. I've already promised one of them to Firmament. Although Firmament is only a first-rate Guild, it has been developing its naval strength since a long time ago. Currently, its naval strength is even stronger than that of many super-first-rate Guilds. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to secure so many Teleportation Passes," Feng Qianyu explained.
"Firmament?" Shifeng could not help but recall the information he had received in the past.
In the past, Firmament had indeed been an overlord at sea. This was because Firmament had occupied two coastal NPC cities with a population of over a million. This had established the Guild's foundation for developing its naval strength. In addition, Firmament had focused on developing its naval strength. Although the Guild's overall strength was far weaker than that of super-first-rate Guilds, naval strength did not depend on the Guild's experts. The number and quality of ships were also the key. Hence, even some Super Guilds were no match for Firmament's naval strength.
It was no wonder why the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, which had only recently begun developing its naval strength, had so many Teleportation Passes.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, when will the contest on Thunder Island begin?" Shifeng asked.
"The contest will begin in seven days. However, we still need one more day to reach Thunder Island. In other words, we have six days to prepare," Feng Qianyu said as he looked at Shifeng strangely. He did not understand why Shifeng would ask such a question.
"Seven days should be enough." Shifeng could not help but smile as he looked at Feng Qianyu. "Phoenix Pavilion Master, why don't I change my proposal? Give me 60 slots. As long as Phoenix Pavilion Master can defend three ancient towers, I'll secure one encampment. At that time, you'll give me 100,000 Magic Crystals or an equivalent amount of Land and a temporary teleportation point. What do you think?"
Feng Qianyu and Blue Phoenix could not help their shock when they heard Shifeng's offer.
They felt that Shifeng had lost his mind.
Paying 100,000 Magic Crystals was a small matter. However, they could not understand where Shifeng's confidence came from. He actually dared to make such a bold claim.
Even if the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion occupied all three ancient towers, they would need at least 100 players to clear out the monsters in the encampment. Moreover, this was only a conservative estimate.
How many players did the Ling YI Society have?
Although ordinary players might think that the Ling YI Society had as many experts as there were clouds in the sky, they were laughable in front of the various superpowers. At most, the Ling YI Society only had around 10 experts. Where were they supposed to find the remaining 50?
Moreover, even if they could summon 50 experts, they still couldn't secure a single encampment with just 60 players.
