"You guys have a Small Sailboat?"
Identical Summer looked at Shifeng as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Although he did not say anything else, the disdain in his eyes was obvious.
The other Freedom Alliance members inwardly sneered.
"That brat sure knows how to boast. Even our Sanctuary of the Holy Church has yet to obtain a Small Sailboat. How could an independent adventurer team without any background possibly have one?" the masked woman from the Sanctuary of the Holy Church chuckled.
Sanctuary of the Holy Church was one of the Super Guilds that had developed their naval strength long ago, yet even now, they had only obtained a Magic Bottle containing a Small Sailboat. Moreover, they had obtained this Magic Bottle from a marine ruin in the Sea's End. Because of this Magic Bottle, Sanctuary of the Holy Church had lost dozens of experts and thousands of elite members.
Silent Entropy and Identical Summer had obtained a Small Sailboat not only because they had been lucky in the Sea's End, but also because they had powerful backers. This was especially true for the power behind Silent Entropy. Even Sanctuary of the Holy Church did not dare offend this power.
Passing Monarch was only a relatively strong independent player. His naval adventurer team did not have the support of any major power. It was already a miracle that he had managed to become the commander of the Freedom Alliance's Third Fleet. Obtaining a Small Sailboat was simply impossible.
"Brother Ye Feng, do you have a Small Sailboat?" Passing Monarch looked at Xiang Shifeng in surprise.
Passing Monarch had investigated the Ling YI Society. The Ling YI Society did not have any naval forces. To put it in another way, the Society had never developed a naval force before. Instead, the Society had always clashed with the various large Guilds on land.
Just the fact that the Society had a Secret-Silver Speedboat was already shocking enough.
Even now, the Freedom Alliance did not have a single Secret-Silver Speedboat.
Blue Joy, who stood beside Passing Monarch, blinked in surprise. She felt that Shifeng was speaking up for the Third Fleet in a fit of anger.
"Won't we know if we take a look?"
Shifeng surveyed his surroundings. He could clearly sense the doubtful and disdainful gazes directed at him. He then took out an exquisite crystal bottle from his bag and chanted an incantation.
As Identical Summer chanted the incantation, black fog began to emerge from the crystal bottle, enveloping a large area of seawater. Following which, a silvery-white sailboat appeared before everyone. This sailboat was no smaller than the sailboat Hundred Leaves had summoned using her Magic Bottle. Moreover, the sailboat was engraved with magic runes. With a glance, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary sailboat like the one Identical Summer had summoned.
This Small Sailboat was none other than the Bronze One-horned Sailboat that Shifeng had obtained from a King-class Sea Monster.
"How could this be?!"
"This is a small sailboat. When did it become so common?"
When everyone saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that this was real.
"Who is that person?" Hundred Leaves stared at the cloaked Shifeng when she saw the One-horned Sailboat.
First, a Demon God had placed a bounty on Shifeng. Then, he had a high-ranked speedboat. Now, he even had a Small Sailboat. Nobody would believe that a major power didn't support the Shifeng.
"I've really underestimated you, Passing Monarch. I never thought that you would be able to hire such an expert. However, I'm afraid that you won't be able to reach the island. At the end of the day, the inner area's test still depends on strength," Identical Summer snorted coldly. He then steered the sailboat towards the island.
Passing Monarch and the others might be able to take advantage of the outer area, but they had to defeat a King-class Grand Lord and two Great Lords working together to reach the inner area. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to reach the island at all.
Although Passing Monarch and the others had a Small Sailboat, they had an obvious weakness.
They had too few people.
The Third Fleet only allowed 90 people to enter the inner area. Meanwhile, Passing Monarch and the others had teamed up with two fleets, so they had at least 180 people. Not only could they fully utilize the 100-man Small Sailboat, but they also had 80 people to pilot the Bronze Sailboat. Meanwhile, Passing Monarch and the others couldn't even bring out the full power of the Small Sailboat. How were they supposed to fight a King-class Sea Monster?
Meanwhile, the Third Fleet's members were stupefied as they stared at the One-horned Sailboat. They only felt admiration for the Shifeng.
"Brother Ye Feng, thank you so much. However, I still intend to give up on this place." Passing Monarch was very grateful to the Shifeng. In reality, the Shifeng didn't need to help him so much. After all, both sides had agreed that they would decide their harvest based on time. Only, when Passing Monarch saw the King-class Sea Monster in the distance, he decided to give up.
[Magic Whale] (Sea King Creature, King-class Sea Monster, Grand Lord) Level 55 HP 200,000,000/200,000,000
[Razorshark] (Sea King, Sea Beast, Great Lord) Level 55 HP 80,000,000/80,000,000
Even a naval combat expert like Passing Monarch was powerless when he saw the three sea monsters' statistics. Just the Great Lord ranked Razorshark was a difficult opponent, not to mention the Magic Whale. Without the support of several dozen speedboats, killing the Great Lord ranked Razorshark would be a dream.
However, Silent Entropy, Identical Summer, Hundred Leaves, and the others still had hope. They still had eight Bronze Speedboats to support them.
Take the current situation for example. Silent Entropy had the Small Sailboat tank the Magic Whale while the two Bronze Speedboats held back the Razorshark. Although each Bronze Speedboat only dealt around -200,000 damage to the Razorshark, with six or seven Bronze Speedboats attacking simultaneously, the damage they dealt far surpassed the sea monster's battle recovery speed. As long as they were willing to spend some time, it was only a matter of time before they defeated the two Razorsharks. Then, they could slowly whittle down the Magic Whale's HP.
However, they couldn't even exhibit the Small Sailboat's full combat power here. How were they supposed to whittle down the sea monster's HP?
Rather than wasting time here, they might as well explore the other caves. With their current strength, they would have no problems obtaining the two Legacies.
"Brother Monarch, since you wish to give up, how about this? I'll command the fleet for four hours. What do you think?" Shifeng asked.
Shifeng wasn't surprised by Passing Monarch's decision. After all, an expert's assessment of their own combat power and that of a monster's was the most basic thing they knew. If an expert couldn't even distinguish between their own combat power and that of a monster's, they wouldn't be considered an expert.
Only, Passing Monarch's assessment differed from his.
"Brother Ye Feng, why are you wasting time here?" Passing Monarch couldn't understand what Shifeng was thinking. Despite knowing that there was no hope, he still insisted on rushing to his death. However, seeing the determination in Shifeng's eyes, Passing Monarch could only nod. "Alright, then. I'll let you command the fleet for four hours. Once the four hours are up, we must leave this place."
Following which, both sides amended the contract. For now, the Third Fleet would be under Shifeng's command for four hours. All loot during these four hours would belong to Shifeng.
Seeing that there were no issues with the contract, Shifeng stored it in satisfaction.
"Let's head over as well." Shifeng smiled at the distant Magic Whale.
Others might not know how powerful the One-horned Sailboat was, but he did. While King-class Sea Monsters were very powerful, Bronze Sailboats were not to be underestimated, either.
Following which, Shifeng began to allocate the Third Fleet's members. Aside from the Swift Dragon Speedboat and one Bronze Speedboat, which each had 20 members, the remaining three Bronze Speedboats each had a six-man party. The remaining members would stay aboard the One-horned Sailboat and tank the Magic Whale.
"Are they insane?! They're actually making the Small Sailboat, which has the highest combat power, only carry 32 people?! How are they supposed to tank the Magic Whale?!"
When Passing Monarch and the others saw Shi Feng splitting the ships into groups, they could not understand what the Swordsman was thinking. After all, the other fleets had split their eighteen MTs into three groups, taking turns to distribute the majority of the damage, while the rest of the fleet split the remaining damage. Even so, they had managed to endure the Razorsharks without losing any Durability. If they allowed the sailboat to take too much damage, its Durability would fall at a frightening rate. At that time, the sailboat would most likely be destroyed before it could even defeat a single Razorshark.
However, since the Shifeng insisted on this arrangement, Passing Monarch had no other choice. After all, the Shifeng had full authority over the Small Sailboat. Moreover, the Small Sailboat belonged to the Shifeng.
As the Small Sailboat approached the island, the Magic Whale and Razorsharks emerged from the sea. Their massive bodies were like mountains, preventing anyone from approaching the island in the slightest.
"Begin!" Shifeng immediately fired the One-horned Sailboat's Thunder Cannon at the Magic Whale. (To be continued.)
