Chapter 489 Reinforcements, Main Quest?
Ten minutes later, three ships donning the Navy's flag set sailed from the port and towards the ship in the distance. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
The three ships are full of players and NPCs alike. The former group is easy to recognize since everybody are feeling relaxed just looking at the huge smiles on their faces while the latter group wears grave expressions like they were meeting their mother-in-law for the first time.
"We finally landed on a huge quest! I thought we'd have to wait for a while since it's not easy to travel across the Forest of Despair"
"Yeah, even the easiest option is expensive. I can't afford 50 Gold for a single fare you know. Making money is hard for us casual players"
"I'd love to join one of the nine guilds. It would be easier to level up and the benefits that normal members receive are tremendous!"
"I think it's better to join the Flame Rose Guild. They are still small in numbers, but their members are rich and well experienced"
"But their requirements are almost as rigorous as the nine guilds. You need to at least reach the minimum Level 30 before you can even think of sending your application to them. So joining them is not as easy as you make it sound"
"Really? Damn!"
"Yeah, my friend and I tried to join them in the past but we got rejected outright"
The players on the three ships appear to be very relaxed as they even talk about mundane things, like their dog learning a new trick or their cat getting pregnant.
"Anyway, do you guys have any clue why the navy is going out of their way to help that ship being attacked by a monster? The Quest just said <Subjication and Rescue>"
But so far, it has only been a rumor, the players even thought that the Undead Calamity would be a prerequisite to the Main Quest, but it just turned out to be just an Epic Grade Subjication Quest despite how wide scale it was.
"It's probably just at the level of the Undead Calamity, so don't get your hopes up"
"Even if that is the case, it would still be great news for us! We'll be one of the first players to join!"
Meanwhile, back at the ship.
"Guild Leader, the Navy! There are three navy ships heading our way!"
The players were already getting tired as their Stamina was almost reaching rock bottom and if wasn't because they were fighting in rotations, then they wouldn't have been able to come this far.
"R-reinforcements! Finally!"
"Hold the line! Goddamit, how long till the spell is ready, Solitary Tempest?! The ship wouldn't be able to hold on any longer!"
"Everyone, hold on till the navy gets here! We're already at the last stretch, make your potions count! Don't die!"
Minerva's yell was almost drowned by the cheers of her guild members, followed by Maverick immediately yelling at them in an almost reprimanding tone since losing their focus before the matters at hand would prove to be fatal. The players also showed experience as they immediately calmed themselves, but it wasn't enough to hide their increased morale, and like they were injected with stimulants, they became more energetic as the battle continued!
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!
The huge sea monster kept ramming the ship, making it hard for the players to properly fight the Sea Murlocs as they also had to continuously keep their balance.
"Hey fish fillet, over here!" Maverick yelled as he activated [Taunt] by tapping his shield with his sword.
