Chapter 59: Retrospective
The battle ended in the sixteenth minute, a full four minutes earlier than expected.
The Pirate King Xiaofeng was killed on the spot, and a pirate king ceased to exist, and all his glory vanished.
The soldiers of the Airborne Battalion played a vital role in the battle, relying on the cover of night and the strength of their long-range firepower, they killed far more pirates than the four adventurers. Of the four mid-level pirate leaders, the eight minor leaders, and the two big bosses, half of them were killed by the soldiers of the airborne battalion, and more than two-thirds of the ordinary pirates were killed by the soldiers.
This battle allowed Frost and Ralph to successfully upgrade to level 3, and the rest of the elite soldiers were all promoted to one level each, which was very rewarding.
As the ranks of elite soldiers increase, so does their survivability and strength. They may not be able to become Shen Yi's pillars now, but if they develop over time, they will definitely be able to become Shen Yi's most important right-hand man like the Skynet Terminator.
In addition, the destruction of the five pirate ships brought 6,200 blood points to the Broken Blade team, and in addition to the map of the end of the world and the Pirate King token, they also received three combo scrolls and two water-based mastery scrolls. Although there are nothing of value, for Shen Yi, these bits and pieces are obviously also extremely valuable. The two water-based mastery scrolls were given to Frost and Ralph, while the Combo scrolls remained. Calculated so far, Shen Yi has also had five Combined Attack Scrolls, and if he continues to save, he will soon be able to save a small-scale melee siege force.
Finally, I accidentally got a special skill scroll:
Skill Scroll Storm: Creates a storm in an 8x8 area, which can sweep all targets in the area into the air, and after the target falls, it will deal different damage according to each person's constitution and fall resistance. When used in an ocean area, you can create an ocean storm that you can control as you wish.
Blood Emblem Reminder: "The mighty South China Pirate King Xiaofeng has absolute prestige among the pirates of the South China Sea, relying on this terrifying power that can create storms at sea." ”
"This skill is exclusive to the Pirate King of the South China Sea, and has a 100% chance of getting it after killing. ”
"There are no prerequisites to learn exclusive skills, they do not occupy the skill slot, and there is a high chance that they will mutate according to the master's natural characteristics, and increase their power as the user comprehends. ”
"You can't have a career after learning that skill. ”
"One person can only learn one exclusive skill. ”
This exclusive skill is the first time you have heard of it, and judging from the introduction of the Blood Emblem, the power and development potential of this skill are very good, and it can also mutate into an exclusive skill for new scholars.
But the cost of not being able to master the profession is too great. For adventurers, the best way to break through the skill bar is to have a class, so that the learning of skills is no longer limited by the skill bar.
It's clear that the meaning of the profession is more important than a powerful exclusive skill.
"Looks like you're going to have to cheapen your summoned soldiers again. Hong Lang sighed.
"I can also see that the world of the bloody city will never lack the existence of chicken ribs. And the Medal of Honor...... That's exactly what you can do. King Kong also laughed.
That's right, those enhancement methods with obvious characteristics, great advantages, and great disadvantages, such as combo techniques, such as exclusive skills, are obviously more meaningful to summoning soldiers than to adventurers. They are like the ocean, where all rivers meet the sea, and those who come do not refuse, and they strengthen themselves through this inclusiveness.
As he participated in missions one after another, Shen Yi's use of summoning soldiers became more and more mature, and he was becoming more and more aware of their significance. If in the past, he was still worried about how a large number of elite soldiers would get so many bloody points for them to strengthen after they were upgraded to a higher level, then he would no longer have to worry about this kind of problem in the future.
Listening to the tone of the Blood Emblem, the nine Pirate Kings should have their own exclusive skills.
I don't know what exclusive skills you will get from killing Jax Sparrow. As the existence with the smallest number of people and the strongest combat power among the nine pirate kings, Jack Sparrow's exclusive skills are not bad, right? Thinking of this, everyone looked at Jack Sparrow's eyes a little strangely, making Captain Jack inexplicable, I don't know what happened, how could I think that these guys are forcibly restraining their greed and suppressing their thoughts to kill themselves.
Next, the adventurers had a clash with the Black Pearl.
The reason is that Jack Sparrow is desperate to get to the Shipwreck City immediately, and the adventurers want to kill at least one more Pirate King before entering the Shipwreck City.
But Jack Sparrow was unwilling. For him, he can only be rewarded with actions in the city of sunken ships. And before entering the shipwreck city, all the gains were nothing to do with him.
From a personal point of view, Jack Sparrow naturally wanted to stop the interception.
King Kong and others were very dissatisfied with this.
Hong Lang even pointed at Jack Sparrow's nose and shouted, "What the are you kidding? Of the nine pirate kings, only one has just been dealt with." Once in the Shipwreck City, even if you and Barbossa are removed, we will have to deal with six pirate kings. Do you know what that concept is? That's six times the size of our current opponent! To deal with one Captain Whistling Wind, our whole army can only be considered to have completed the task, and with our current strength, it is not bad to be able to deal with two at the same time, and three is the limit, let alone six!"
"Oh, really?" Jack Sparrow shrugged, "As you said, three pirate kings is the limit of what you can handle." So what's the difference between five and six?"
"At least when we can't beat us, there's still a better chance of escape!" King Kong said in a deep voice.
"That's the crux of the matter!" Elizabeth interjected suddenly.
Everyone was stunned, and King Kong asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Elizabeth smiled, she smiled sweetly, but she was also very confident, which made Shen Yi's heart skip a beat.
He had a vague sense that what Elizabeth was going to say next might be the last thing he wanted to hear.
Sure enough, Elizabeth said, "I don't know who you are, but there are not many people in this world who dare to challenge the Nine Great Pirate Kings. I can think that you have a reason to go there when you know how dangerous it is to break into the shipwreck city, and you dare to do it?"
Hong Lang replied, "Yes, Tia Torma has what we need there. ”
"But it doesn't necessarily take nine tokens to get it, right?" Elizabeth looked at Shen Yi as she spoke.
Shen Yi sighed and replied lightly: "Go on." ”
Elizabeth continued, "Why do you insist on keeping one more pirate king instead of two or three? Therefore, you must intercept at least one more Pirate King before entering the Shipwreck City, and make sure that you have obtained three tokens before going to the Shipwreck City...... Am I right?"
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Hong Lang didn't expect that Elizabeth, a woman, would be so cunning and quickly grasp the most critical place.
That's right, if Shen Yi and the others can have one more Pirate King token, plus the map of the end of the world, then the Eternal Night Aurora Order and the Spell Relief Potion are equivalent to the things in the palm of their hands. It has always been the only rule of action to solve the imminent key first, and then consider expanding the results.
The problem is that an inevitable consequence of this situation is that the adventurers who have completed the bottom line requirements will inevitably be unable to fight to the death in the next action. They will certainly have a way out for themselves - to flee as soon as the situation is unfavorable.
People's attitude towards extra harvest should always be to catch it if they can, give up if they can't, and never gamble with their lives.
This is exactly what Shen Yi has been planning.
But this was obviously unacceptable to Jack Sparrow and others.
The needs of Shen Yi and the others can be discounted, but his needs can't - only if Tia Torma is unsealed and the threat of him being chased by the ghost ship can he be truly lifted, and Verduna can rescue his father.
He could tolerate Shen Yi and others forcibly taking most of the benefits, but he couldn't bear the failure of Tia Dolma's unsealing operation.
This is the biggest problem in the cooperation between the two sides, but I didn't expect to be picked up by Elizabeth at this moment.
This woman is also a vase character in Pirates of the Caribbean, but in the mission world of Bloody City, she plays the role of Jack Sparrow's brains.
The adventurers who were seen through the details had nothing to say for a while, and Jax Sparrow glared at Shen Yi even more viciously, compared to the funny Captain Jack in the original work, this one in front of him was much more fierce and unreasonable.
"Cooperation requires the premise of mutual benefit, and we cannot cooperate with allies who do not have the will to fight and are ready to flee at any time. Elizabeth said coldly, "So we can't accept your decision to keep another pirate king. ”
"So you're forcing us to go to war with six pirate kings at the same time?" Hong Lang exclaimed angrily.
"So you're admitting that you didn't have that intention in the first place, and that the so-called cooperation is a lie?" asked Elizabeth rhetorically.
Elizabeth's flexibility and cunning gave everyone a headache, and everyone looked at Shen Yi at this moment.
King Kong spread his hands: "Trouble is coming, you can do it." ”
Shen Yi smiled: "It's nothing, isn't it just to face six pirate kings at the same time." Captain Jack was right, there wasn't much difference between dealing with five at the same time and six at the same time. In that case, well, I agree to abandon my plan to capture one more Pirate King, and focus all my targets on the Pirate Guild in Shipwrecked City. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
"But you have to promise me one thing. ”
"What?"
"It's up to me to decide how to do it and when to do it, you can only cooperate with me, not interfere with me. ”
Elizabeth and Jakesparrow glanced at each other.
They thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, but I hope you don't let us down." ”
"Of course. ”
"In that case, what are we waiting for?"
"Let's go!"
The goal has been set, and everyone will set off without delay.
Night sailing at sea was an extremely risky thing, but with Jack Sparrow, a veteran of the sea, there was no need to worry too much, and the fleet sailed all the way to the predetermined location, gradually disappearing into the distance.
―――――――――――
I don't know how long it has been, but a new fleet has finally appeared in this once murderous sea, led by a merchant ship flying the blood-colored flag, which is the fleet of the blood assassins.
The flotilla was moving in the middle of the sea, and one of the sailors on the mast suddenly shouted: "Look over there!"
Several adventurers rushed to the deck and pointed along the water's edge, only to see a few pieces of wood floating in the distance, as well as one or two scattered corpses.
Yu Li looked back and shouted, "Boss!"
Xie Rongjun appeared beside Yu Li like a ghost, followed by two unfamiliar men.
Looking at the wreckage on the sea, Xie Rongjun looked at a shirtless man behind him, the big man stepped forward, carefully observed the sea for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The wreckage is from at least three different ships, there are many fragments, and they are very fine, there are burn marks in the corners, and there are bullet holes in the ship's board, which should be caused by firearms." The broken sail was a black spinnaker, and judging by its shape and color, it was only used by pirate ships...... It was supposed to be the wreck of a pirate ship. ”
His name is Tu Yuan, and he is a new adventurer. His personal strength is not strong, but his water-based specialization ability is already at the expert level. He was a sailor before he entered the bloody city, and his years at sea made him much more accustomed to the mission world of the Caribbean than others, as long as it was something related to the sea, he could tell what ship it was coming from and when the incident occurred.
Xie Rongjun's face was gloomy: "Can you be sure who did it?"
"I can't, I'm afraid I need you to do it yourself. As he spoke, the man pointed to the west: "It's floating from over there, and the battlefield should be near there." ”
Xie Rongjun immediately ordered: "Turn the rudder left, full sails, move closer to the western sea, and the beast king will go and see what he finds there." ”
The flotilla quickly turned and headed west.
After sailing for a few minutes, the flotilla stopped.
Another bearded man behind Xie Rongjun took off his coat and jumped out of the boat.
He swam around the sea, his nose twitching from time to time, as if he was sniffing something. After a while, another fierce man plunged into the water, and it took a long time to surface, but it was already a hundred meters away.
The big man shouted at Xie Rongjun, "Come here!"
The flotilla slowly entered the area where Dahan was.
The big man, known as the Beast King, climbed back into the boat and said to Xie Rongjun, "Yu'er told me that the battle is near this area. However, there may be some errors, no way, this is the sea, and there is no way to get accurate coordinates. ”
Xie Rongjun replied coldly: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be within the field of vision, it is enough." ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes turned a miserable white.
Skill Retrospective Activation!
The hands of the clock seemed to be slightly moved, and the world in Xie Rongjun's eyes began to go backwards and trace. He saw his ship keep moving backwards, and then a calm world, and the scenery was as dark as if nothing had existed.
However, as time kept moving forward, Xie Rongjun saw a fleet of ships in the distance retreating back to this area, about fifty meters away from where he was at the moment.
It was enough distance for him to see the people on the boat.
It was Shen Yi who made him familiar and extremely hated.
They walk around the boat and talk like a silent world in a black and white movie, you can only see their movements, but you can't hear what they are saying.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
A few clear words came to his ears with the wind......
The image disappeared, and Xie Rongjun's face showed a satisfied look.
"How's it going? Boss. Di Yu asked urgently.
"They're going to the City of Shipwrecks and the Black Pearl to capture the token of the Nine Pirate Kings...... Finally caught him!" Xie Rongjun slapped his right hand on the hull of the ship, knocking out debris flying in the sky.
