The second wave of monsters soon appeared, but this time, they did not come from the water, but from the sky.
"Boohoo! Boohoo … "
"Boohoo! Boohoo … "
"…"
The sky was filled with all kinds of seagulls, and they were like a black cloud pressing down on them.
Among them, there were some that were big and some that were small. The big ones were even bigger than the Golden Harrier and the Flame Falcon, while the small ones were all different sizes, just like ordinary birds.
As for the strength of these seagulls, Yang Rui was not very clear. However, after they appeared, they went straight for Yang Rui and the ten ships. Obviously, they had seen through the existence of the Four Symbols Maze.
In other words, among these seagulls, there were at least the strength of famous historical figures, and they could communicate with other seagulls without any obstacles. In other words, it was also possible that there was such a "Boohoo" in every species of seagulls. If that was the case, the strength of these seagulls would be more frightening.
Even so, Yang Rui felt that this flock of seabirds was much easier to deal with compared to the previous flock of King Fish. At the very least, they had a clearer target. Furthermore, the Divine Armaments Sky-Piercing Crossbows, Divine Armaments Crossbows, Foot Crossbows, and other long-range weapons could all be used at the same time.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Creak! Creak … "
"…"
When the seagulls entered the range of the ships, the Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows, Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows, and Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows, especially the Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows. The bolts that were as thick as an arm were nailed to the target.
The Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows and Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbows were mainly used for horizontal and downward shooting. However, at close range, they also had a certain degree of elevation. With the ten ships as horns, they could eliminate the problem of insufficient elevation for the two types of crossbows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Creak! Creak … "
"…"
Seabirds covered the sky, and the crossbow bolts covered the clouds and covered the sun, whistling through the air as they struck the seabirds, causing them to wail incessantly.
Perhaps for normal mission enforcers, the second wave of seagulls was just as powerful, or even more so. However, for Yang Rui and his troops, who had the support of Jiao Wen and the other carpenters, as well as the School of Mohism's heritage, the second wave of monsters was much easier to deal with.
Previously, Yang Rui and his men had used less than an hour to wipe out the first wave of King Fish monsters. But now, when they wiped out the second wave of King Fish monsters, Yang Rui and his men only used less than a quarter of an hour!
The difference in difficulty was huge, so much so that the time taken was four times longer. Moreover, Yang Rui's turreted ships didn't seem to have their durability reduced, because there were very few seabirds that could avoid the heavy arrow net and reach the turreted ships.
In the end, the King Fish or King Fish monsters should have been killed, but Yang Rui was unable to find their corpses. In a situation where almost all of the seabirds' corpses had fallen into the sea, it was basically impossible to distinguish their corpses.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun, you have cleared the second stage of the National Stronghold Series Challenge Mission, the Sea Monster Challenge. You have received 1000 Reputation Points as a reward."
After a large number of seabirds had been wiped out, the system notification came again. After two waves of monsters, the second stage of the Challenge Mission had been successfully completed.
Overall, the process of the second stage didn't seem complicated, but it was still very difficult. In the first wave of King Fish attacks, those who were slightly weaker, or those whose ships were slightly weaker, or those who were slightly weaker, would have been completely wiped out.
And the second wave of attacks from the seabirds, to normal naval fleets, was very likely to be a real disaster!
Yang Rui, who had two flying pets, the Golden Harrier and the Flame Falcon, was even more aware of the attack power of flying pets. If it was a warship that wasn't equipped with many crossbows, it would probably be difficult for ordinary people to stand on the deck.
Even if the forces were very strong, it was inevitable that they would have to wait for the seabirds to take the initiative to attack, and then seize the opportunity to use close combat to counterattack. One could imagine the consumption of energy.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, the National Stronghold Series Challenge Mission is about to enter the third stage, the Pirate Challenge. Please make the necessary preparations. You have 10 min of time to prepare!"
The second system notification was about the Pirate Challenge. At this time, the contents of the notification in Yang Rui's Quest Pane had changed. The content had become some introduction to pirates.
"The King of the Sea, Fang Lan, is rumored to be seven feet tall, unusually tall, with a white mask, resolute and courageous, strong enough to chase galloping horses. He sings songs of Qing Yu Qing, a sea spirit, strong enough to fight a flood dragon, cold enough to break the soul!
An army of nearly a million pirates, fighting in the vast East China Sea, like a dragon whose head can be seen but whose tail can't be seen, traversing the East China Sea unmatched. The fishermen along the coast of Jiaodong regard him as an evil god, and children dare not cry when they hear his name.
There are also rumors that Fang Lan is the son of an aristocratic family, but because of inexplicable reasons, he left home and galloped on the East China Sea. There are rumors that he was seen tugging boats to save people when they were at sea, but I don't know if it's true or not … "
The introduction of pirates in the Quest Pane was somewhat inexplicable. Yang Rui read it two or three times, but still could not understand the main points.
The introduction of the game "War of the Worlds" was very important, and some of the details of the mission may also hide some key points. However, Yang Rui read the introduction of pirates over and over again, and only summed up some of the content.
First of all, the origin and identity of pirates, it was difficult for the son of an aristocratic family to explain anything, and the reason why he became a pirate was unclear.
Secondly, the influence of pirates should be very strong, and at the same time, very fierce, so much so that children would be scared to stop crying when they heard his name.
The last paragraph said that Fang Lan, the pirate, seemed to have the opposite side. He had once saved people when they were in a shipwreck! He did not know the meaning behind it, and whether the facts were true or false.
However, according to Yang Rui's experience, with such a long description of pirates, the biggest gimmick should be in the last paragraph. As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, there must be a demon. A vicious pirate would save people, and there might be an unknown side to it.
Yang Rui had a hunch that the Pirate Challenge was the most difficult of the three missions. After going through the previous two missions, Yang Rui already knew and was mentally prepared for the difficulty of the mission. He just did not know how the Fang Lan pirates would test him.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, the third mission of the National Stronghold Series Challenge Mission, the Pirate Challenge, has officially begun …"
The system notification came on time after 10 minutes, but the pirates did not appear directly like the previous two missions.
