Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1516: Chapter 94: Aren’t All Our Sea Gods Named Ao?

’Snow Cloud Peak’ appeared leisurely from the Resurrection Altar when Hill had already returned to his Magic Tower, happily watching the camp below where the Undead Tribe was cheering for victory.

”Old Dog~ we have achieved quite a few military exploits, and have also gotten two achievements: ’First Victory’ and ’Make the Enemy Temporarily Lose Combat Ability for Seven Days.’”

’Perfect Bald’ who had swum back earlier, said cheerfully, ”Those who didn’t die also got an achievement for ’Retreating Safely from a Battlefield with 100,000 People.’”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised one eyebrow and pondered, ”Then, let’s try to probe whether a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand have similar achievements.

By the way, is there something like ’Ten Kills?’”

”There is.” ’Perfect Bald’ said with delight, ”But not many can achieve it, of course, I definitely have!”

”There’s always an opportunity.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled slightly, ”Tell everyone, while the opponents are still a bit dazed, quickly complete some killing achievements.

Once they become more familiar, it will probably be difficult.

After all, next time, their camp definitely won’t even skip setting up sentries!”

”Revival Point...” ’Lu Huayu’ popped out from the side, ”Our revival point is also an open-air altar! It’s still in Basia City.

A bit troublesome, right?

Can those natives be trusted?

Isn’t it said that the leader over there is the prince of this country?

Who knows if someone might want to defect to him!”

”No need to worry for now.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said calmly, ”During the time when we definitely hold the upper hand, no one will be foolish enough to oppose us.

If problems do arise later... will we not climb the mountain to find Hill?

Changing the altar’s position is a minor issue, he shouldn’t have a problem with it, right?

It might even change from an open-air plaza to a luxurious palace.”

”Although Hill is always agreeable, he won’t do good deeds without reason.” ’Perfect Bald’ couldn’t help but remind.

”Hill just follows the rules of a mage... we won’t make him work for free, an equivalent exchange will do.

Others can’t achieve it because they’re not even able to stand in front of Hill and make this request, but Hill, when has he ever refused our legitimate trades?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised an eyebrow, ”Do you think we’ll be caught up by those wooden fellows in the cans across the way within half a year?

Ha~

Within half a year, can we not accumulate enough military exploits and resources to ask Hill for a hand?”

”No problem with that.” ’Perfect Bald’ agreed, ”I think at least for the first three months, we can scare them so much they won’t dare leave that island.”

”Ah...” ’Lu Huayu’ said in an odd tone, ”I almost forgot when we last faced enemies so easy to deal with... Wasn’t it when we had our first national battle with Eden?”

They didn’t expect that there would be no defenses at all on Eosca Island, and the several goals they envisioned before departing were all achieved!

Even the Connecting Silk Spiders cooperated so perfectly... they indeed managed to awaken those insect eggs under the threat of Sunfire and the Power of the Silvermoon!

’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but smile, he was just taking a gamble... Of course, before this, he first let different priests and Wood and Water Mages give the silk a bit of life force.

Although those holding the silk parachutes were also at some risk, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ gambled that these Elemental Bodies, lacking human and Elf warmth, wouldn’t trigger the Silk Spiders to react quickly.

But if they didn’t break out of their shells, they’d be burned alive, a crisis that should push some strong lifeforce mutated Silk Spiders to break through their so-called limits.

”But this time, the sea seems to be against us!” ’Lu Huayu’ frowned and said, ”When we swam back, we found our stamina depleting especially fast, many people barely had any energy left at the end, being dragged back by knights.”

”Hmm, it’s okay on the sea surface, but staying underwater for over 5 minutes starts to cause blood loss, and at 20 meters deep, the blood loss speeds up to three times as fast.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded slightly, ”This means that our deities have some control on the surface, but none underwater.

The Triton of this world apparently is on par with Agleya... a genuine ocean deity.”

’Lu Huayu’ shook his head helplessly: ”Haven’t you heard of Triton’s name?”

”Hmm? Isn’t that a name from Eden? How would we know!” ’Perfect Bald’ asked, confused, ”Our Sea Gods all have the surname Ao?”

”Pfft! That’s the Dragon King!” ’Lu Huayu’ cursed helplessly, ”Triton is the son of Poseidon, the Sea King from Ancient Greek Mythology, quite a powerful deity.”

”How do you know?” ’Perfect Bald’ looked at him curiously, ”In our place, it seems not many care about foreign myths, right?”

”My ex-girlfriend liked that kind of Greek style, so I heard a bit.

And when I first entered this game, I was a bit puzzled...” ’Lu Huayu’ paused for a few seconds before he continued, ”Because the name sounded familiar, I checked it thoroughly again.

Later, I realized it was just a namesake... wasted a lot of time; otherwise, with my abilities, why would I need to team up with others to build a city?

MD... truly, one mistake after another.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at him curiously and smiled thoughtfully.

’Perfect Baldy’ laughed heartily: ”Haha! You deserved it!

Wait, fooling ghosts~ Two Lines of Bamboo had been infiltrating other families for ages, hadn’t she?”

”Although it might sound harsh to say, she was the one who came up with this idea initially,” ’Lu Huayu’ smiled gently, ”She wanted so badly to contribute her light and warmth to my future; I couldn’t possibly refuse, right?”

”Scumbag!” ’Perfect Baldy’ cursed angrily without hesitation.

”It’s not like I didn’t face repercussions.” ’Lu Huayu’ chuckled bitterly, ”She loves not me but someone who can make her look impressive and bully others, a wealthy person who can give her a good life.

As opposed to people like me who rely on scheming and machinations just to barely maintain a decent living, so-called middle-class folk.

Thus, what she could do to others, she naturally did to me when I couldn’t satisfy her needs.

Honestly... if it weren’t for the debt to break off the engagement, I wouldn’t really want to become the East Factory Chief Eunuch!

”Um... it boils down to you both being up to no good, each with your own agenda, just that you miscalculated one move.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ summarized impatiently, ”Next time, remember not to gamble your marriage for in-game matters!

I understand you want to put powder on that dark face of yours, but stop pretending in front of these people here!

They’re all phantoms; what are you playing at with your ghost stories?”

He then stepped forward quickly amidst ’Lu Huayu’s’ flushed and speechless expression, and after entering the camp, he looked around at the clan leaders surrounding him: ”So, although Triton wouldn’t actually make a move, his disdain alone is enough to make us lose the initiative at sea!

If you plan on going near Eosca Island to kill, ensure you pay attention to stamina issues, and also, marine life could possibly provide clues to the enemy.

During stealth, always be mindful of the environment around you!”

”But in that case... where can we possibly hide?”

”Are you daft? They fish during the day too, didn’t you see?” The ’Young Master’ said lazily from the back, ”Using those extermination nets, any fish with a bit of intelligence wouldn’t go near them!

Just hide where the outer fish are, since you can’t swim invisibly anyway.”

”That’s fine, then.” A person dressed as a thief laughed, ”I’ve estimated it; with stamina from our leather armor profession, once we swim over, we’ll need at least half an hour of rest before starting kills.”

”Ah! That’s right.” A swordsman in a fancy shirt suddenly spoke, ”Our family’s tailor made some leather armor from fish skin this afternoon... can save 10% of swimming stamina consumption~

Of course, those are white fish skin materials, only obtainable from fish below 1 meter.

Below 3 meters, the skin is green, probably better, but we don’t have enough materials right now.

We haven’t gotten any blue ones yet, so feel free to bring in parts for processing~

Only for the first month.”

”MD~” A ’Black and White Path’ mage behind ’Perfect Baldy’ muttered under his breath, ”All the commercial professions have joined! Our family...

Forget it... there’s nothing that can be done.

Who would’ve thought this debt would carry over through this time!” ’Perfect Baldy’ shrugged, ”You know, Ink Brush had to fight hard for the second batch to come in.

Thankfully, though things aren’t significant in Toril, there’s no end to minor ones.

Those idiots heard Hill left, and they even dared to attack Agleya City!”

Standing on the terrace, Hill couldn’t help but perk up his ears, concentrating intently.

”You mean those idiotic pirates from Little Sakura Empire? Weren’t they going over to hunt down Shulong Empire’s merchant convoy?”

”Who believes that!” ’Perfect Baldy’ sneered, ”That race, no matter the world, is repulsive.

They’re probing whether Agleya’s strength would weaken following Hill’s departure!

Otherwise, how would mere mortals dare act in the Goddess of the Sea’s Divine Realm?”

”What did Edna say?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to look at him, ”I don’t believe you didn’t ask her.”

”The pirates want to bring forth their very own Goddess of the Sea.” ’Perfect Baldy’ chuckled, ”After all, because of Road Eunuch, Ambori’s style changed a lot, and the people there no longer wish to worship her.”

”What?” ’Lu Huayu’ was shocked, ”Ambori didn’t say anything! She... doesn’t know?”
