The participants were all humans, and the player cleared his throat and pulled out a yellowed parchment scroll with dense ink on it, all in his handwriting.

"Five days ago, the leader of the Black Flag Pirate Regiment led fifty ships to collect the last three Tiger Pirate Regiments, and the fierce battle lasted for half an hour, but then they encountered the ships of the Lionheart Country, and were destroyed by one and eight ships."

"The name of this ship is Vanguard, it looks like it is made of all steel on the outside, the internal material is unknown, there are no sails, it is steam-powered, there is no paddle wheel thruster in sight, and it is estimated that it uses a propeller propulsion device."

"In that battle, the regimental commander died, the rest of the crew fled, and the appearance of the steel steamship upset the balance of the pirate alliance, as well as the technological balance."

"Our pirates are incapable of resisting in front of their steamships, and according to incomplete statistics, the Pioneer has won 41 naval battles and currently holds a record of total victories."

After saying this, Mr. Yanzhong paused and looked at the players who participated in the meeting.

The player [Fu Qing Sama] touched his beard that had not been shaved for three months, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, do you remember the world announcement three months ago? ”

"Is it the country of the Second Industrial Revolution?" At the mention of the world announcement, the dull expressions on everyone's faces changed instantly, and they were very surprised and envious.

As players, they found that the novice village was so backward, and they were naturally very dissatisfied.

Although the royal capital of the Tiger Kingdom has just studied the steam engine, the novice village has no industrial base at all, and the development from scratch is too slow, so the players sitting here are all players who choose to "go out".

They started with sea robbery, gradually became bigger and stronger, and became big pirates, and then relied on pirate forces to occupy island cities in turn, and used force to forcibly promote the emergence of steam engines and firearms manufacturing.

It can be promoted so quickly because the country has initially entered the first industrial revolution period, and the related processes are not a problem, what is lacking is the idea of making those things.

But they never imagined that the day after they landed, they heard the world announcement that a distant country had entered the electric age.

"I thought...... It's just a joke, or maybe it's just a special case, and it can't be very close to us. The player [Shaping Memories] smiled wryly.

For the ninety-one players present, they all thought of the announcement from three months ago as some powerful NPC nation.

It stands to reason that such a powerful NPC country will not be placed near the player, but will allow the player to slowly climb the technology until they can defeat it, so it should not be so close to the Tiger Country.

"But the truth is that there were players in the country of that electric age, and it was called Lionheart." [MingRin] straightened his long, flowing and silky hair, which hadn't been cut in three months.

"I sent orcs to inquire, all human beings will have other arrangements, but when it comes to specific arrangements, the other party is vague, it is definitely not a good thing, our human pirate alliance must not fall into the mouth of the tiger." Player [Qin Liyan] clenched his fists and glared angrily.

The players discussed it for several minutes, and they all agreed that Lionheart was not their final destination.

"Since the most powerful country in the announcement is near us, then our Tiger Country must have another way out, do you have any special news channels?" [Fog Hidden Mountain] rolled their eyes, and going off the beaten path was the only way they could win.

At this stage, the country of Lionheart is particularly strong, and the appearance of the steel ship has made them lose their absolute advantage, and it is impossible to win Lionheart no matter how they do it, so the general road has been blocked, and players want to win, only to use other ways to strengthen their power.

"There are sea monsters in the Sea of Death, in my opinion, it is better to enter the Sea of Death, where there are sea monsters, there must be treasures, or hidden dungeons, if we clear the dungeon, maybe it will develop by leaps and bounds." [Behemoth Apocalypse] points to the sea, and at the end of the sea is the deep sea area, where sea monsters are often seen.

They are pirate captains in Stormwind Bay, who have lived on this sea for three and a half months, and already know that there are sea monsters in the deep sea, as well as mysterious "ancient ruins".

Players don't know if the news of the ruins is true, but they have seen creatures like sea monsters, and even shot them with steel cannonballs from their cannons.

At that time, the sea monster was hit by the players with a solid steel bullet corrected by shooting skills, and the sea monster sank into the water and fled, and the pirate captains also spent a lot of time brushing up the small skills of sound waves and echolocation, and were not afraid of the attack of the sea monster.

"Bo Yibo, the wooden ship has become an aircraft carrier, whoever is interested, form a team, and go to the Sea of Death to find treasure together."

The presiding officer of the meeting said loudly, "It's okay for the brothers who don't want to participate, you can organize other methods." ”

"Then I won't participate, I plan to travel west to see if there are other opportunities." [Jiuchengqing] shook his head.

"I participate, how can I be without such a thing as finding treasures." The player [intern god] raised his hand and was very keen on finding treasures.

"Come on, let's find the treasure of One Piece together." He smiled.

Half an hour later, fifty out of ninety-one people chose to team up to find the treasure and enter the Sea of Death for adventure.

Thirty-one people chose to travel west in a group, believing that the country in the west might have a suitable soil for their survival and development.

The remaining twenty players chose to belong to Lionheart, believing that as long as they performed well, Lionheart would definitely appoint them, and then they would find an opportunity to grasp the real power, step by step to empty Lionheart, and then go on a rampage, develop weapons and technology, and use hard power to flatten the power of the entire planet.

Players who choose Lionheart have an optimistic mindset and are full of hope for life.

Other players who didn't choose to belong were also a little hesitant, after all, Lionheart is a country that pops up in the world announcement, and there must be something extraordinary, maybe there are opportunities everywhere.

But considering that it is late July, three and a half months have passed, and the player faction struggle within Lionheart is estimated to have entered the solidification stage, and it is too late for them to join Lionheart at this time, which is really not worth it.
