"I just don't understand. They keep coming to die like this. Don't they need to spend money on crossbow boats?"

Although it was effortless to defeat her opponent, Du Xiaoxiao was still a little annoyed. The most important thing was that she needed to pay attention to the movements at all times and send people to patrol near Shenchong Island every day to prevent her opponent from suddenly making a real move.

Lu Zhe said with a smile: "The crossbow ships are not cheap, but for a force like the Matsuda Club, they are not stingy to this extent. Moreover, these ships are not sacrificed in vain. They are also training their members to fight at sea.

Ability."

Du Xiaoxiao suddenly asked: "Are naval battles really important in the future?"

Lu Zhedao: "It is as important as the battle for the city. Moreover, because the island is easy to attack and difficult to defend, battles will be more frequent. I estimate that by the middle and late stages of the game, the major clubs' investment in ships will account for more than half of the entire guild's expenditure.

.”

Du Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we have an advantage in this aspect."

"We don't have a city. If the island still lags behind others, there will be no chance of success." Lu Zhe said.

"But having said that, after reaching the maximum level, it will be easier for everyone to obtain ship blueprints. Then we will be under greater pressure. Once a big club like Matsuda obtains the blueprints of gunships or even higher-level ships, we will have nothing at all.

An advantage.”

After all, Du Xiaoxiao was a little scared by the Matsuda Club. She had never even had a chance to play against a professional player before, but now she had to go head-on with such a world-renowned club, so naturally she felt unsure.

In the past, Du Xiaoxiao would not be afraid of wearing shoes without being barefoot, but now with tens of thousands of people from the entire Yingxiao Guild behind him, Boss Du, who has always had a strong sense of responsibility, still has to consider more things.

Lu Zhe was quite pleased, knowing that being afraid was also a sign of growth. He smiled and said, "The boat will naturally straighten up when it reaches the bridge."

Du Xiaoxiao could only think like this. The only thing he could do now was to level up as soon as possible, and then use the existing advantages to create a world on the sea as soon as possible.

Of course, this depends on Lu Zhe.

Du Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "Old Lu, what should I do first after reaching the level?"

"Actually, there haven't been many changes. We're upgrading our equipment and seizing the island at the same time. However, if we have to say it's different, we may no longer be fighting alone."

"What?" Du Xiaoxiao was confused.

"Remember what I said about finding some other guilds to cooperate with?"

"You mean, Warwick?"

"This is just one of them. Although it is the most important one, you can also consider the player guild more."

"How is Tianhe Guild?" Du Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

"Okay, but are you familiar with Chu Tianhe?"

"It's okay. Xi Ma is very familiar with him. I've played several team battles with them, and he admires you very much. I think if we just cooperate, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Well, forces like this are what we are looking for. They probably have no intention of forming a club themselves. They just want to have fun in the game. They have no conflicts of interest in principle with us, so it is easier to cooperate."

"I think Chu Tianhe also has this intention, especially since the Quanzhou City they are occupying now is a coastal city, but there are no boats. I think he wanted to buy a canoe from us several times, but he was too embarrassed to ask."

"Since we want to cooperate, we should have mutual benefit." Lu Zhe said with a smile; "You can make your own decision in this regard. The cooperation with the Tianhe Guild is up to you, boss."

"Then promise to provide them with canoes?"

"As long as it doesn't involve gunboats, it's not a problem."

"I see."

After this period of rush work, Yingxiao Guild currently has eighty-five gunboats and thousands of canoes. This number is certainly not too many, because after all, only the Bad Bad Wolf can be made, plus leveling up is required.

, these outputs are already the result of Lu Zhe's careful calculation.

The two talked for a while and then returned to the game cabin. But as soon as Lu Zhe sat down, he heard Du Xiaoxiao shout again: "No, there are a lot of ships near Lei Island."

Zou Yu was the first to shout: "Is there another battle?"

Lu Zhe said calmly: "Don't worry, send someone to investigate first. In addition, be prepared for all contracted players to gather at the flight point immediately and be ready to support at any time."

In less than two minutes, Du Xiaoxiao said: "The two canoes of the guild near Thunder Island were destroyed. According to the news from the front, the opponent has at least two hundred crossbow boats."

Although the Yingxiao Guild has gunboats that are far ahead of its time, Lu Zhe still did some precautions since the Matsuda Club released the crossbow ship blueprints.

For example, patrol ships were dispatched in the waters near Shenchong Island and Thunder Island. These ships were mainly canoes, with occasionally a few gunboats mixed in.

However, since Lei Island is close to the domestic coast and is a small island without much strategic significance and resources, Lu Zhe did not send too many people.

What's more, this kind of thing can only be done by contracted players. It's okay during the day, but when it's the night shift's turn, the number is naturally smaller.

Fortunately, the time difference between Japan and China is not that big, and Matsuda Club currently does not allow members to stay up late on a large scale.

In any player country and any guild, the lowest number of people in the game is between early morning and noon, especially between six and seven in the morning. It is a vacuum period. Those who stay up late and play all night are basically sluggish, while players during the day are still there.

Not online that early.

Therefore, clubs sometimes move sneak attacks to this time.

Of course, this will also cause damage to the members and players of the guild. Once the biological clock is disrupted, the cost is not small, so unless it is a more important battle, the club will not choose to fight at this time.

When Lu Zhe heard Du Xiaoxiao's words, he no longer hesitated and ordered: "Let everyone fly to Thunder Island."

"Should we let the gunboat go?"

"not needed for now."

"Can it be defended without gunboats?"

"No, there is a high probability that Thunder Island will be lost."

"Ah? Then why don't you go by gunboat?" Du Xiaoxiao was sometimes surprised and confused.

"Since they are attacking by surprise, they are naturally faster than us. Even if we launch the gunboat now, it is already too late."

Yingxiao Guild's gunboats are all concentrated on Shenchong Island. After all, it will take some time to get to Lei Island, but the opponent has already appeared near Lei Island, and it is obviously too late.

"But..." Du Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to formulate the words.

Lu Zhe smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. It's not that the gunboats won't be dispatched, but they don't need to be dispatched immediately."

"How long do we have to wait?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.
