Chapter 1110 - Contesting over Monster Encampments
Shi Feng shook his head when he heard Phoenix Rain's question . Contrary to Phoenix Rain's assumption, he was not particularly interested in Thunder Island .
Phoenix Rain found Shi Feng's response reasonable .
If Shi Feng truly understood the situation on Thunder Island, then he knew how fierce the upcoming contest would be .
There were already three Super Guilds participating in the contest, not to mention super-first-rate Guilds . Moreover, the upcoming fights wouldn't be minor . These Guilds were dispatching all of their top players . Every one of these existences wanted authority over Thunder Island . This way, they could temporarily establish a Guild transfer point and set up a foundation to explore the Sea of Death .
After all, the Sea of Death was quite far from the main continent . Even if players traveled from the nearest coastal town on a speedboat, they would have to sail for over a day to reach the Sea of Death . On their way to Thunder Island, players would also have to venture through a dangerous sea zone .
One also needed a sufficiently powerful naval fleet to participate in the contest .
Sea monsters were more powerful than land monsters, not to mention Boss-ranked sea monsters . Even the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had to sacrifice a large number of elites and experts to kill one such Boss . They could easily lose up to 30 ships during one of these raids . Even first-rate Guilds could not afford such a loss, yet even after so many sacrifices, they would only obtain one or two entry passes .
To Zero Wing, which didn't have a naval foundation, it would likely lose far more than the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion if it tried to join this contest .
"Give me twenty slots . I can help you defend two ancient towers . My price is 20,000 Magic Crystals and one temporary transfer point . If we fail, I won't charge a single Coin . I also won't require any compensation for deaths," Shi Feng said after giving the matter some thought .
It was very difficult to occupy the monster encampments on Thunder Island . The monsters in these encampments depended on the players on the island . These monsters were generally Chieftain rank and above . Before players reached Tier 2, the Bosses defending these encampments would be fixed as Grand Lords . Including the risk of ambushes by other Guilds, the difficulty of capturing an encampment was obvious at a glance .
Most importantly, the monsters in these encampments had extremely high Defense and Magic Resistance . It was not possible to raid these encampments normally . One needed the ancient towers' buffs to lower the difficulty .
Meanwhile, the more ancient towers one occupied, the easier it would become to deal with these monsters .
However, Thunder Island had a limited number of ancient towers . The various large Guilds would definitely dispatch their men to take these towers over, although they would only send a small number of players to do so . After all, the monster encampments were the most important targets .
To secure an ancient tower, one would generally dispatch 15 to 20 players, and these Guilds usually attempted to occupy three or four towers . Once they did, with their experts' strength, they could take down a monster encampment with roughly one hundred players .
His offer to defend two ancient towers would undoubtedly relieve some of the burden on Phoenix Rain . She would have an additional 10 players to help her occupy a monster encampment .
"You'll secure two ancient towers?" Phoenix Rain fell into deep thought .
To solidify their hold on the ancient towers, she had previously decided to dispatch 20 players to each tower . Her plan was to send 60 players to capture three ancient towers . The other 100-plus players she had would be more than enough to capture an encampment . This was her most conservative plan . Ideally, she wanted to capture two encampments . However, this was simply too difficult .
If what Shi Feng said was true and he could maintain two ancient towers with just 20 players, she could save an additional 20 players for herself . If she put more efforts into expanding her fleet, she might even obtain two or three more entry passes before the day of the contest . By then, she would have a chance of obtaining two monster encampments .
Only, Shi Feng's transfer point condition was somewhat difficult to agree to .
For each monster encampment one captured on Thunder Island, they would earn two temporary Guild transfer points in the town . She had already promised one transfer point to another large Guild that had agreed to assist her . If not for said large Guild, she would not have obtained so many entry passes in the first place .
If she accepted Shi Feng's offer, she had to secure two monster encampments .
However, there were too many uncertainties .
Moreover, Phoenix Rain found it hard to believe that Zero Wing had so many powerful experts capable of defending two ancient towers with just a team of twenty .
"Is there some issue?" Shi Feng could not help but ask as he watched Phoenix Rain ponder his offer .
"Guild Leader Black Flame, to tell you the truth, each captured monster encampment only provides two temporary Guild transfer points . Among them, I have already promised one to the Firmament Guild . Although Firmament is only a first-rate Guild, the Guild has been developing its maritime strength . Currently, its navy is even stronger than many super-first-rate Guilds . If not for them, I wouldn't have obtained so many entry passes, to begin with," Phoenix Rain explained .
"Firmament?" Shi Feng recalled the Guild from his past .
The Firmament Guild was indeed an overlord at sea . Firmament had occupied two coastal NPC cities, which had populations in the millions, very early in the game . These two cities served as the foundation for the Guild to develop its maritime strength . In addition, Firmament had focused on developing its navy . Although overall, it was significantly weaker than super-first-rate Guilds, battles at sea did not rely on Guild experts . The quantity and quality of the Guild's ships also played a major role . In the past, even some Super Guilds had not been a match for Firmament's combat power at sea .
It was no wonder why the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had managed to obtain so many entry passes, despite having recently begun its naval development .
"When will Thunder Island's contest begin?" Shi Feng asked .
"The contest will begin in seven days . However, traveling to the island takes a full day, so we only have six days to prepare," Phoenix Rain replied as she gave Shi Feng a quizzical look . She didn't understand why Shi Feng had asked such a question .
"Seven days should be enough," Shi Feng said, laughing . "Phoenix Pavilion Master, how about I make you another offer? Give me 60 slots . As long as your side can hold three ancient towers, my side will capture a monster encampment for you . In return, I want 100,000 Magic Crystals or Lands of equivalent value in addition to one temporary transfer point . What do you think?"
When Phoenix Rain and Blue Phoenix heard Shi Feng's new proposal, they stared at him in shock .
They both believed that Shi Feng was insane .
While 100,000 Magic Crystals was not a problem for them, they simply did not understand where Shi Feng found his confidence to make such a bold claim .
Based on her estimation, under the assumption that they could capture three ancient towers as planned, capturing a monster encampment required at least 100 apex experts .
Although the Guild seemed full of experts to ordinary players, in the eyes of superpowers, Zero Wing only had around ten truly capable experts . How was Shi Feng going to fill the 50 remaining slots?
Even if he could dispatch another 50 capable experts, it was impossible to capture a monster encampment with just 60 players .
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, you originally planned to capture only one encampment, right? You should know that the likelihood of capturing a second is quite low . Even if you allow Zero Wing to fight for the second encampment, I'm sure you won't suffer much loss . If you are still not sure, I can sign an agreement . If Zero Wing fails to secure the second encampment, we will pay 100,000 Magic Crystals . How about it?"
