Chapter 83: Krieg’s Warship

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

With his troops, Jichen approached the small golden tree, and the natives did not stop him.

As he got closer, Jichen noticed that the golden tree had a semi-ethereal and semi-real texture. Embedded within the slightly transparent trunk were small crystals about the size of peanuts.

The crystals grew from within the trunk of the tree?

Jichen’s eyes instantly lit up.

If he could bring the golden tree back to his territory, wouldn’t it produce an infinite amount of crystals?

But as he looked up, he realized that this idea was unrealistic.

The trunk was tens of meters tall, and the canopy was hundreds of meters wide. What kind of ship would be required to transport it?

According to the natives, the crystals had been collected just a short while ago, and they currently had none.

Just as Jichen was slightly disappointed and shaking his head, he suddenly heard Sparrow’s shout.

“My Lord, there are unidentified ships approaching!”

Jichen was startled and quickly led his troops back.

Arriving at the shore, they looked into the distance.

A strange, dark two-masted ship was sailing towards them.

The sail was engraved with an image of a golden tree, and the sides of the ship were adorned with menacing spikes. There were four ballistae on each side of the ship, each loaded with a steel bolt.

The opposing side had also noticed them, and the ship slightly tilted as the four ballistae on one side of the ship turned towards them.

Jichen’s eyebrows twitched.

Ballistae, such formidable weapons, could easily pierce through even a sturdy ship like the New Moon.

If they were shot at a person, they would likely be torn into several pieces instantly.

Therefore, close-quarters combat was necessary to prevent the full force of the ballistae from being unleashed.

“Shallow Sea Murlocs, Naga warriors dive into the sea to approach the enemy ships and attack when they enter the blind spot of the crossbow!”

“Sparrow, pay attention to controlling the New Moon’s position. Pay attention to avoid being shot by the crossbow.”

“Sea Pixies, don’t worry about conserving your mana. Give me a blast… forget it, you don’t need to intervene. Try to inflict minimal casualties on the enemy. I want to capture this warship!”

After each command was issued, the unidentified ship drew closer. Faint figures could be seen on the deck, officers wielding long swords, and soldiers preparing their weapons in formation.

At this moment, the native inhabitants of the island began to panic.

“Lord of the Holy City is here! What should we do? We have no blue crystals to offer!”

“They will kill us! Last time, because we didn’t provide enough crystals, my son was whipped to death by them!”

Hearing this, Jichen’s expression turned cold as he examined the interfaces of those soldiers.

[Krieg Warrior]

[Race: Human]

[Tier: 2, 8-star]

[Skill: Coordinated Combat (blue skill, when fighting together, combat power increases by 30%)]

Faith (Blue skill, loyal to Krieg, will not cower or surrender)

[Military characteristic: People of the Blood Sea (After death, they will be resurrected and become blood spirits with stronger combat strength)]

“Krieg’s soldiers have decent combat power, but be careful of the blood spirits they transform into after they die.”

A Tier 2 8-star strength was not considered strong.

However, the characteristics of the army were a little intriguing.

“Aim and shoot!”

When the two were still several hundred meters away, the enemy ships fired their crossbows.

Whoosh–

Four arrows as thick as an arm pierced through the air and shot over with a shrill sound.

When they first discovered the enemy ships, Sparrow had the pirates raise the sails and anchor, allowing the New Moon to move.

In a naval battle, if one did not move, they would be a target.

However, the enemy’s attack had arrived just as the New Moon picked up speed. The four arrows missed, but one of them missed the target by about ten meters. It brushed past the stern of the ship and splashed on the surface of the sea.

The officer was not surprised to see this. The first round of shooting was to adjust the trajectory.

Just as he was about to command the second round of attacks, he suddenly saw a few blurry black shadows appear on the surface of the sea nearby.

“Be careful at the bottom of the sea, there are enemies-”

Crash ~

Dozens of black shadows broke through the surface of the sea and jumped onto the deck.

As soon as the Naga warriors and the shallow sea murlocs arrived on the deck of the enemy ship, they attacked the crossbows on the side of the ship and took control of them.

Only crossbows could threaten them.

“Draw your swords and kill the enemy!”

“Fight for the great Lord Krieg!”

The sergeant raised his sword high and shouted with a fanatical expression.

The soldiers surged forward like a tide.

Vaguely, they had triggered their military skills and increased their combat strength by a level. Their strength was already infinitely close to the potential of tier 3.

However, the Shallow Sea Murlocs were tier 3, 3-star, and the Naga Warriors were tier 3, 5-star.

They were completely crushed in terms of level.

Even though these Krieg soldiers charged forward fearlessly without regard for their own safety and formed battle formations to cooperate with each other, the disparity in strength between the two sides was like a vast chasm.

When the crossbow fell into their hands, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

Half an hour later.

The deck of the enemy ship was covered with the corpses of soldiers, extending from the front deck to the cabins below.

He had offered them to surrender themselves, but none of them had chosen to surrender, forcing him to eliminate them completely.

“Ding! You have obtained a battle filled with honor. Obtained 20560 experience points…”

The New Moon slowly approached the enemy ship. The pirates used wooden planks to build a simple passageway between the ship’s sides.

Ji Chen came to the deck of the enemy ship through the wooden plank and casually said, “Throw the corpses into the sea.”

Then, he walked straight to the lower deck.

This warship should have come to the island to collect the crystals, so it was very likely that it had already been to other places.

There might be crystals that had already been collected in the cabin.

Soon, he found a wooden box containing crystals at the end of the second deck.

Looking at the sparkling crystals in the wooden boxes, his mood instantly improved.

With a wave of his hand, he put them all into his backpack.

“You have obtained 480 units of crystals.”

480 units…It was far from enough!

Even with a rough calculation, the number of crystals that the territory urgently needed was at least 6000 units.

He would have to rob at least 13 of these ships to gather them.

Upon careful consideration, Jichen realized that he would need to plunder at least 13 similar ships to gather enough resources.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Jichen had a realization. Why did the idea of robbery come naturally when thinking about gathering resources? After all, he was a law-abiding citizen!

That being said, a man still had to eat.

The Krieg soldiers on this two-masted ship had all been killed, turning it into a lifeless vessel. Although he had initially thought of capturing it and bringing it out of the mystic realm, it was clear that he couldn’t do so at the moment.

Firstly, he didn’t have enough manpower to operate the ship. The core recruitment camp for the Tidal Sea Spirits had not been established, so he couldn’t recruit Tidal Sea Spirits to occupy the enemy ship.

Secondly, taking on this burden would only slow down his search for crystals.

After careful consideration, Jichen decided to leave the warship behind and return for it later. However, before leaving, he made sure that the pirates dismantled the eight ballistae from the ship and installed them on the New Moon. These powerful weapons could turn the tide of battle if used effectively.

Soon, the sides of the ship were adorned with ballistae, their steel bolts shimmering with an intimidating cold gleam..
