Chapter 143 - Pirate Fleet in the Yellow Sea (5) (2/2)
“I want to take revenge after winning.”
“Me, too. I feel like I want to kill them all and have a party over their bodies all the year round. Son of a bitch!”
The players who suffered painful damages caused by the pirates gnashed their teeth.
They were determined to stay on the island until the end, seeking revenge against the Chinese pirates with the overwhelming hero called the Necromancer.
A little later the Necromancer and Heyon, who successfully completed the first-strike operation, returned to the island. The leaders of the island, including Muyon, came out hurriedly and greeted them.
“Thank you. You were so amazing.”
“It was really awesome.”
However, Sungwoo didn’t show off because he knew it was a one-sided victory, but it wasn’t a perfect victory.
‘The pirates are a bigger group than we think.’
During the first attack, Sungwoo destroyed nearly 1,000 pirates. Considering that the number of allies was only 814 during the final battle against the Red Orcs, it was a huge number.
However, the Chinese pirates who came for the second invasion seemed to be twice that number. They mobilized a huge container ship for the players.
‘They are estimated at least 3,000.’
If so, what is the number of their main forces now attacking Taiwan?
After all, those from the Chinese mainland did something big. Since the start of the game, there were so many players killed in action that it was impossible to count their exact number, but as many as players also survived.
“Although we mounted a massive attack against the Chinese pirates, they are still up and running. They can lead a much larger army to attack us, or they can try to land with the current forces. Besides, they might prepare defense against our air bombing.”
Muyon said, nodding at his remarks, “I think we have to prepare for that in a hurry. While you were attacking them, we were done preparing to move to Kanghwa Island. Minguk, have you filled up the trucks with gas?”
“Yes, brother. I packed everything and loaded the trucks. We can start right away.”
They were moving systematically, as if on cue. It was clear that they decided to fight the pirates.
Sungwoo nodded, then said, “Then, let’s go right away. I have to stop by the smithy you mentioned before.”
As soon as Sungwoo said that, Muyon turned and shouted, “Start right away!”
“Start!”
“Everyone, get in the truck!”
Players started to exit Kanghwa Island through Kyodong Avenue. Just in case there would occur an contingency situation, Heyon’s griffin and Sungwoo’s flying undead flew around in the sky and escorted them.
There were a total of 258 survivors in the Kyodong Island group, but not everyone could fight.
According to Muyeon, there were only about 100 people who could fight because a significant number of them were slaughtered during the Chinese pirates’ first invasion.
‘Anyway, I didn’t need a large number of combat troops.’
Sungwoo was thinking of mobilizing the players of Kyodong Island for coastal surveillance. He could fight the pirates alone, but surveillance inevitably required a lot of manpower.
Shortly after they safely passed Kyodong Ave, Sungwoo stopped their trucks near the Marine Corps’ post and gathered the group’s players, including Muyon in one place.
“Just like we inflicted a huge damage to the Chinese pirates, we could also suffer damages from their ambush. So, you have to closely monitor all coastlines.”
“As for surveillance, the coast of Kanghwa Island is wider than expected, but we are short-staffed right now. So, we have to think about how to make use of our personnel effectively.”
“Brother, even if some of our survivors can’t fight, they can do surveillance, so why don’t we assign as many people as possible to the surveillance job?” Minkuk said.
Muyon agreed with him and said, “As he said, I’ll deploy all the personnel and all the equipment for surveillance. Everyone is dreaming of taking revenge on the Chinese pirates, so they will do their best.”
“Yes, please. The pirates may dispatch a small number of people and attempt to monitor or ambush us. It would be impossible to block them completely, but at least you need to discover their invasion before their fleet approaches us.”
Muyon immediately formed a group to patrol the coastal roads and moved them. He also took turns flying two magical drones. In fact, it was surprising that there were two high-end drones in this small group. It seemed that someone was lucky.
The rest of the players set up a camp in a place called the “Kanghwa Dolmen Gymnasium.”
It was a new building with a fairly large stadium inside, so it was a suitable temporary residence for a large number of people.
