"Boom!" The sailboat on which Ren was riding was attacked by an underwater monster and shook violently.
Standing on the bow of the boat and shooting arrows into the water with others, he almost fell off. Fortunately, his hands and feet were fast enough and he quickly grabbed the railing.
The others were not so lucky and fell into the water one after another and were dragged to the bottom of the lake by the sea tribe.
The Sea Tribe also suffered losses, with countless people killed by bows, arrows and magic.
During the fierce battle between the two sides, several warships appeared in the direction of the fortress and headed this way quickly.
On several sailing ships that had not yet sunk, the soldiers resisting the Sea Tribe shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are coming!!"
Hearing these words, the soldiers and merchants on the ship became more energetic and worked harder to fight against the Hai Tribe.
As the warships arrived and the fortress troops joined in, the combat effectiveness was indeed extraordinary.
The Hai people suffered heavy casualties in the face of the fierce attack by the army. Seeing that they could no longer hold on, they dived into the bottom of the lake and disappeared.
The lake calmed down. If it weren't for the corpses of humans and marines floating on the water, as well as the red-stained lake water, no one would have believed that this beautiful Moon Lake had just experienced a brutal battle.
The survivors cooperated with the army to recover the bodies and count the casualties.
The corpses of the Hai Clan were all taken to the warship.
Ren sat on the bow of the boat to rest, thankful that the battle ended in time. Although he participated in the battle, he actually did not kill a single target except for shooting and wounding a few sea tribesmen.
"Are you okay?" A bearded man came to the bow of the ship. He was Luke, the captain of the ship. "Young man, you are very brave! Thank you for helping to protect my sailboat."
"I'm just protecting myself!" Ren replied, after all, he would die if the ship sank.
"Hahaha~" Captain Luke smiled heartily, "I like you! In the battle just now, we lost several sailors on the ship. Are you interested in working for me?"
"Being a sailor is not my style!" Renn shook his head decisively.
"Are you worried that the Sea Tribe will attack again?" Captain Luke said, "They usually don't enter Moon Lake, but this time it's quite strange. There are fortress troops here, and if they suffered a loss once, they will definitely not come again!"
"They are called the Sea Tribe. Why do they live in Moon Lake?" Ren asked in confusion, "Since they are hiding at the bottom of the lake, there should be ways to deal with them."
Captain Luke laughed loudly: "Of course the sea people live in the sea, how could they live in Moon Lake? As we all know, the deepest part of Moon Lake is connected to the South Gris Sea, so of course the sea people enter Moon Lake through the underwater channel."
"So that's it!" Ren suddenly realized, thinking that the terrain here is incredible, with desert to the west and the ocean to the south?
"Are you an exile? It's your first time coming to the Kingdom of Nangris?"
"how do you know?"
"Because the adventurers in Nangris all come from the Storm City, and you come from the direction of the Sea of Despair. I have a good memory. Guests will never forget it after seeing it once. Your face is extremely unfamiliar." Luke
The captain replied, "The Sand Sea of Despair is the preferred area for exiles. It's not easy for you to come out of such a terrible place!"
It's really scary! Renxin said that if it hadn't been for the sandbox system, he would have died in the desert long ago!
"Are the Kingdom of Nangris and the Sea Tribe hostile?" He was a little curious.
Captain Luke shrugged his shoulders: "Occasionally, there are sea tribe attacks, and this is the first time to attack Moon Lake. Why do those damn fishmen do such a thing, you have to ask their sea gods! You think about it carefully, and come over at any time when you have figured it out.
, I’ll reserve a sailor’s quota for you here!”
"Thank you!" Although Ren felt that he would never come back to be a sailor, he still said his thanks verbally.
After the battlefield was cleared, the warships escorted the surviving ships and rescued people until they reached the other side of Moon Lake.
When getting off the ship, Captain Luke shouted to Ren again: "My ship will reserve your place as a sailor on my ship!"
Ren waved to the sailboat and followed the caravan along the road.
After walking for half an hour, I finally saw a city. It was a huge circular city, protected by towering walls and densely packed with buildings surrounding a magnificent castle.
There are also village buildings and many farmland and pastures outside the city, which are prosperous.
Although it is far away, judging from the architectural style, it looks like the Middle Ages, but it has no connection with modern times anyway.
It seems that this world is biased towards magic and science is not developed.
Although there are airships, they are relatively rare magical products. Normal people's means of transportation are carriages, ships and the like.
By the way, the scenery outside the city is amazing!
The sky is blue, the trees are green, and the air is extremely fresh.
The trees are dense and the forest is quiet, making it a good place to build a home.
So Ren left the caravan, found a clear river nearby, and stopped in a relatively flat forest area nearby. He mentally planned the initial structure of the base and prepared to clear the terrain.
Unlike the desert here, the woods are rich in resources, stones can be seen everywhere, and there are various plants.
So Ren picked up a lot of stones to make a stone ax head, collected plants to obtain fiber, made fiber ropes, and combined it with twigs to synthesize a stone axe.
The cutting efficiency of stone axes is much stronger than that of wooden axes, and their durability is also higher.
By using fiber to make rope, there is no need to waste linen. After all, the rags can be used as bandages and are basic medical supplies.
With the stone ax in hand, get to work right away.
Renn kept cutting down big trees, not collecting wood and branches first. After all, the virtual backpack did not lack these materials, just to clear the space for building the base.
The work was boring, but he worked hard and quickly cleared a third of the area.
Just then, a man appeared with an ax and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
When Ren heard the sound, he stopped cutting and turned around to look at the stranger who appeared in front of him in doubt, dressed as a farmer in a straw hat and holding an iron ax: "Is something wrong?"
"You cut down my trees in my forest, and you dare to ask me?" the man asked anxiously, "Who asked you to steal my trees?"
"Uh~ This forest belongs to you?" Ren felt embarrassed, "I just arrived in Storm City and I'm looking for a place to stay. I'm not here to steal trees."
"Don't try to lie to me! Marcel must have sent you here."
"Marcel?" Renn looked confused.
"Where is your carriage? Where are your accomplices? Call them out!"
"I'm really not a tree thief!" Ren explained helplessly, "In fact, I am an exile who was thrown into the Sea of Despair by the Kingdom of Herman. I just came out. I was even attacked by the sea tribe when passing by Moon Lake.
, you can go over there and ask Captain Luke."
The man checked the surrounding roads and indeed found no carriage carrying trees or his so-called companions. Then he checked the trees that had been cut down. They found that the number was right and they were in log condition. If the trees were stolen, they would not have been cut so short.
Seeing that besides embarrassment, there was no expression of panic or fear on Ren's face, he finally believed: "Since Marcel didn't send you, leave these logs and leave quickly!"
"I would like to ask, which woods here can be settled?" Ren asked.
"Outsiders, if you want to settle in Storm City, you must buy a piece of land. Even if the ownerless wasteland is the property of the city owner, it is illegal to build in the Storm City area without permission!"
"I see! Do you have to buy land first?" Renn understood.
