Chapter 114: Attack From the Rear, Referred to as Backstab

General Shuhe's three warships led the way, followed by the player's three large merchant ships, and at the back were more than 20 small merchant ships following suit.

The entire fleet rode the wind and waves and moved forward steadily. The crew members performed their duties and everything was calm.

On the front warship, Su Yu felt the river breeze blowing in his face and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, feeling refreshed.

"Ding! You drink [Panda Green Tea] and gain 200 experience points. (Only valid for the first time)"

"Oh? It's actually a specialty of the Pandas?" Su Yu looked at the porcelain cup in his hand.

But think about it.

In the game setting, the Panda Empire is a powerful, mysterious, ancient utopian country for the three major empires such as the Plantagenet Empire.

The tea, silk, porcelain, and pepper produced by the Pandas are all top luxury goods. It is not surprising that tea appears in the daily drinks of the princess.

"When Qianbei Buzui goes to the Pandaren Empire, maybe he can open up a trade route through his trial route. The new trade route is easier to travel than the old one, and it can save half the time. If the new trade route is successfully opened, the psychic coins will come in large quantities!" Su Yu's thoughts drifted away.

But the voice of the princess brought Su Yu's thoughts back to reality: "Nemesis, if I can become the queen in the future, what kind of reward do you want?"

"This. If possible, I want to serve as your Majesty's Minister of Foreign Trade and escort the empire's overseas trade!" Su Yu replied.

The Minister of Foreign Trade is the most lucrative position in the empire, but it is a pity that it is difficult for players to climb to this position.

"Is that so?" The princess was slightly disappointed.

She originally thought that Nemesis would ask her for a title above Earl and obtain a large fiefdom. Unexpectedly, Nemesis's vision would be so low. Is he satisfied with a small Minister of Foreign Trade?

"But it's okay. Let's see how he performs in the future! If he performs well, it's not impossible to force him to become an earldom in addition to the Minister of Foreign Trade."

The princess stopped looking at Su Yu and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

On the large merchant ship behind.

Many players were riding this old-fashioned merchant ship with a mast for the first time, and walked around the ship curiously.

There were also many players holding weapons and shouting in a middle school way:

"Sure enough, the sea is the romance of men!"

"I am the man who wants to be the Pirate King!"

"I want to be the Pirate King!"

"You three idiots! This is a river, not the sea!"

The snow leopard stood near the rear window on the second floor of the merchant ship.

He was not as curious as the other players, but stared at the rear window and frowned deeply.

After a long time, he uttered three words: "Something's wrong!"

"Old Zhong, what's wrong?" Range is Truth looked at him.

"Look at the group of small boats following us, I think they are very wrong."

The snow leopard pointed to the more than 20 small boats of various types outside the window.

Range is the truth breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no problem with these ships, they are all ordinary merchant ships."

"Before boarding the ship, Lao Tang and I went to their ship to investigate. They are all ordinary NPC merchants. These NPC merchants want to send a batch of goods not far downstream. Following us can avoid attacks by pirates."

The unbreakable alliance standing next to him also nodded and said: "Yes, Lao Huang and I boarded these ships before boarding the ship just now. In addition to merchants and boatmen, there are only some large wooden boxes filled with goods on the ship. There should be no problem."

"Large wooden boxes?" Snow Leopard became alert: "What's in the box?"

"We didn't open it to see, it should be goods. Lao Zhong, you don't doubt the box..."

At this point, Range is the Truth suddenly couldn't say anything.

Because through the rear window, he clearly saw that on the small merchant ship behind, water ghosts wearing black diving suits suddenly appeared and jumped into the water.

"Enemy attack! Alert!"

The voice of the snow leopard spread across the wide river.

The laughter and noise of the players stopped instantly.

Through group messages in the chat room, they learned that the upcoming threat was not in front, but behind!

Players took out their weapons and prepared for battle.

And at this time, the side quest issued by Su Yu arrived as expected:

"Player Nemesis issues you a quest [Protect the Merchant Ship], do you accept it?"

"Accept!"

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the scenario battle side quest [Protect the Merchant Ship]."

"Task requirements: Protect the merchant ship, so that the loss rate of the three merchant ships is not higher than 40%, and the current loss rate is 0%."

"Task reward: Experience value X750, Psychic Coin X5."

"Player Nemesis issues you a quest [Kill the Water Ghost]."

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the scenario battle side quest Mission [Kill the Water Ghosts]. "

"Mission requirements: Repel the Water Ghost troops attacking the merchant ships."

"Mission rewards: Experience points X750, Psychic Coins X5."

"Player Nemesis issues you the mission [Counterattack and Occupation]. "

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the scenario campaign side mission [Counterattack and Occupation]. "

"Mission requirements: Occupy 10 ships carrying Water Ghosts in the rear, progress (0/10). "

"Mission rewards: Experience points X900, Psychic Coins X6."

Su Yu waved his hand, and the three missions were issued.

The players were overjoyed and excited.

2400 experience points!

2400 experience points are given at the beginning of the mission. The reward for this mission is too generous!

The players were ready to fight the water ghosts!

Snow Leopard also immediately issued orders in major chat rooms.

Shortly after the order was issued, the three player merchant ships began to slow down and slowly turned around.

At Su Yu's request, the three system warships in front also slowly slowed down and turned around to prepare to fight the water ghosts.

Archers and magicians walked to the side of the ship and shot or threw [Frost Arrows] at the bottom of the ship regardless of the loss.

Although the power of arrows and [Frost Arrows] will be greatly reduced after entering the water, the players have an advantage, that is - a large amount is enough!

Under the coverage of dense arrow spells, layers of blood floated on the water surface in a short while.

Obviously, some of the water ghosts lurking under the water have been injured!

The water ghosts also found that the plan to drill the ship was not reliable.

Because they could not use force underwater, it would take a long time for them to drill the ship. But under such intensive attacks from the players, they might have turned into "frozen hedgehogs" before they could break the boat!

So the water ghosts changed their plan to break the boat and started a head-on battle.

Bang, bang, bang!

The water surface exploded continuously, and dark figures broke through the water and landed on the deck and the side of the ship as nimbly and easily as big birds.

The archers and magicians standing on the side of the ship were caught off guard and turned into white light under the waving of the long swords of the water ghosts.

However, the melee players on the ship reacted and immediately rushed towards these water ghosts.

With six ships as the battlefield, a brutal fight gradually began.
