Chapter 202: The Trap Plot as Expected
Koya Island is located in the outer part of the core of the Storm Inland Sea, and it takes about half a day to get from here to the Hydra Islands, the most central part of the Inland Sea, even at the speed of the small ship with good performance.
Fortunately, because the veteran sailor NPC is on board and actually takes over the captain's duties, the ship will be able to sail at night only slightly slower than during the day. So, after another night, at noon on the third day of their departure from Nopra, the group finally came to the vicinity of the island indicated in the simple chart drawn by Geshia.
As Jehia describes, this is a desolate, uninhabited island next to the Hydra Islands. The island is small in size, most of it is rocky with little vegetation, and in the middle of the island is a slightly steep rocky mountain.
"That's right, this is it."
Jahia, who was invited to the bow of the boat by Coco's sister, saw the island in front of her and nodded and said.
"I'll use the royal family's bloodline secret method to contact Brother Wang now, please park the boat, and let's go to the foot of the stone mountain together to wait for Brother Wang and their arrival."
With that, Jeshia turned around and walked off the deck, towards the cabin, ready to go back to the house and start contacting Prince Yekal, and after Coco's sister also told everyone to get ready to go ashore, she secretly ran to the pilot room to find the old NPC sailor in charge of the pilot.
"Please park the boat to the southeast corner of the island."
Sister Coco remembers that in the strategy of the previous life, the fallen Prince Yekal and his Chaos Monsters attacked from the northwest of the island, and they were not the sea beasts who could still roam freely in the sea without leaving the ship, once the ship was destroyed in the next mission, and as a result, they finally failed the mission because they did not have a ship, it would be a tragedy.
The old sailor had no objection to the employer's request, and began to explain that the crew was moving towards the southeast corner of the island, and soon half an hour later, the ship was docked in a small natural reef bay in the southeast corner, and the old sailor took a shipload of NPC crew and the unarmed Kaino to stay on the boat, while Coco's sister and her team followed Jahia in the direction of the stone mountain in the center of the island.
“…… I hope that Prince Yekal is really not a bad person. ”
The team followed Jahia all the way, looking at the barren landscape of the islands on either side of the island, which was full of stone tundra, and muttered to himself.
"If we really want to be besieged by the enemy here, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find a terrain that can be used to defend in a position."
Beside the steel ground thorn, as the only shield warrior in the front row of the team, Gao Nut nodded in agreement, because of her boyfriend's serious appearance, Sunflower couldn't help but feel a little nervous, seeing such a sunflower, the glittering bubbles beside her pouted, and secretly rubbed out her own inventory.
Although like everyone else, they think that this task may be very difficult, but Flash Bubble is not as worried as everyone else - the little princess of the dignified Phoenix Group has spent a lot of money to collect so many rare and powerful items from various professional studios and casual players, even if it is not 100% guaranteed that the mission will be successful, at least to ensure that she and her teammates can get out of the mission even if the mission fails, Flash Bubble is absolutely confident.
No one in the team noticed the thoughts of the new recruit, and when they heard that their teammates were a little pessimistic, the cold shooter who was the vice-captain clapped his hands gently.
"Well, in any case, the fact that Prince Yekal is seriously suspected and may be behind it has always been only speculation, maybe things are not as bad as we thought? And Princess Hydra just said that it will take about an hour for Prince Yekar and them to get here, and we can set up some traps near the meeting place in advance, so that if it is really a worst-case scenario, we still have a chance to escape back to the ship before being surrounded by traps. ”
On the side of the team, there is the vice-captain who looks cold and impatient, but is very careful and responsible, and the coco sister, who is the captain, is next to Jeshia at the front and chats with the hydra princess.
"Your Highness Jeshia, are there any other armies in the Hydra tribe besides the royal guards?"
Jathea, who was in plot mode, showed a slightly surprised expression, and didn't seem to quite understand why Coco's sister, an alien Terran adventurer, would be interested in this, but out of a good impression of the "Goddess of Creation Sect Envoy", Jeshia still spoke.
"Of course, although it seems that the patriarch and the royal family have great rights in the Hydra tribe, in fact, unlike the Glorious Empire Emperor in your human race, the tribe does not really have all the rights controlled by the patriarch and the royal family, and there is also a Hydra Elder's House independent of the royal family in the tribe, which has the right to supervise the royal family's governance of the tribe and the inland sea and provide advice. Today, the House of Elders is run by my own uncle, Prince Leano, who is also my father's younger brother.
"In terms of military power, our royal family controls the Hydra Royal Guard, as well as most of the other sea beast clans in the north of the Inland Sea, which is responsible for guarding the Northern Continent's chaotic forces, and the Hydra Elder's House is in charge of the patrol navy formed by the sea beast clans in the eastern and southern parts of the Inland Sea, mainly responsible for the preparedness and security of the rest of the storm inland sea except for the North Sea Warning Area and the Hydra Islands."
Sister Coco nodded, the Prince of Leano who was in charge of the Hydra Elderhouse that Jeshia said also had a slight impression, in the game materials of his previous life, this Prince Leano ran to Sea Turtle City near the border of the Northeast Continent with a small number of remnants of the Sea Beast Clan who escaped the erosion of chaos at the end of the storm Inland Sea incident, and was the only high-level person in the Sea Beast Clan who survived. In the later stage of the Storm Inland Sea before the players counterattacked the Northern Continent, the Prince of Leano and his Sea Beast Clan subordinates provided players with a lot of very useful information about the Storm Inland Sea in Turtle City, just to be able to recapture the home of the Sea Beast Clan, and rescue or let them free their compatriots who had fallen into chaos...... is also a well-known tragic NPC hero.
It seems that if it is really as those players in the previous life speculated, if Princess Hydra's series of missions is successful, she will become the banner figure in the Inland Sea against the fallen sea beasts, then I am afraid that it will be this Prince Leano who joined forces with Jeshia to support her at that time.
The group chatted all the way, and soon came to a flat land with a wide view at the foot of the stone mountain in the center of the island.
After Gehia explained that this was the agreed meeting place, she sat down behind a big rock on the side and began to rest, but the coco sister and the others did not stand on such conspicuous flat ground, except for the ice archer and the steel ground thorn who went to the vicinity to start arranging traps, the rest of the people each found some nearby places that could barely cover their bodies, and also began to rest and wait.
About an hour later, just as everyone was already drowsy, the sound of ice shooters and steel thorns setting traps outside could be heard in the party channel.
"Oh no! That Hydra prince really has a problem, it's really a trap! ”
"Everyone gathered and prepared to retreat to the ship, and the Chaos Monster appeared!"
Just as the team members were nervous about the contact between the Ice Shooter and the Steel Thorn, Jaxia, who was resting behind the big rock, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up with a frosty face to look at the sky.
Several deformed bird-shaped monsters have appeared over the island at some point, accompanied by a few piercing screams, the wind blade skill contaminated with dark gray chaotic energy flew towards Jiexia on the ground, but Jiexia did not flinch in the slightest, and directly stood in place to enhance her magical momentum, and suddenly the fine stones on the tundra around her flew out into the sky, and at the same time as shattering the wind blades of the monsters with the help of speed and momentum, the bird-type monsters directly hit blood marks on their bodies.
However, this was only the beginning, just as Sister Coco and the others finally gathered, and the Ice Shooter and the Steel Thorn also rushed back to join everyone, the whole island suddenly shook in a frightening way, and then on the sea northwest of the island, accompanied by a shocking wave, an ironclad whale with a huge size and even comparable to half of the island emerged from under the surface of the sea.
Rumble!
The monstrous waves were rolled up with the appearance of the ironclad whale, like a giant tsunami, and directly slapped towards the island, just when Sister Coco and the others felt a little desperate in the face of this scene, Princess Jeshia, who was standing with them, opened her mouth with a cold face, and let out a sharp and ferocious roar that was completely different from the human accent she was talking to.
Roar!
The sound wave with the powerful magic power of the Hydra Princess spread, directly shattering the huge waves that rushed towards the island, and by the way, the flying demonic beasts that kept flying from mid-air flew out directly, and some of the weaker ones were even directly shattered into a pile of filthy minced meat scattered in the air.
After Kaino's care and more than a day of rest, Jahia has recovered most of her original strength as a level 90 world-class boss, and the strength that this hydra princess can control is so terrifying in this sea area dominated by the sea beast clan.
It's just that at the moment when Jeshia's magic sonic wave was about to hit the ironclad whale directly, an inky blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of the ironclad whale, blocking Jeshia's attack firmly.
"Hmph, it's my sister, Jathea, I thought that attack would have seriously injured you, but I didn't expect you to retain such strength."
