God-level Hero

China Region, Lighthouse Islands. After two hours of waiting and preparation, the trade fleet of the Naga Female Hero Sona finally arrived. At this moment, Eternal Star, Divine Emperor, and Bloodrose Rosa had already prepared the goods on the dock, eagerly awaiting.

Among these goods, the 1000 units of S-class "Divine-level Wine" were certainly the main focus. Additionally, various artisan crafts, snacks, medicines, and tools from the Dwarf Kingdom filled the trade hall with several thousand units. Although many are not in demand, it shouldn’t be that Sona’s large fleet returns with empty holds, right? Besides, what if some product fetches a good price?

At this moment, Royal Dominator jumped off the dock and laughed loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, quickly come over and let me introduce you to this Naga beauty—Hey, where’s Skyshattering Thunder?"

Eternal Star laughed: "He’s too ashamed to come; he wants to race against time to finish the Volcano Forge Factory."

Royal Dominator looked amazed: "Really? Isn’t this a good opportunity knocking at the door?"

Eternal Star laughed: "No worries, once the trade routes are open, he’ll have plenty of opportunities. And the sooner the forge factory is built, the sooner a special product can be developed."

Royal Dominator laughed: "That’s true. Oh, did Boss Long really manage to borrow money from Boss Ma?"

Eternal Star laughed: "We’ve been friends for years; wouldn’t he send something our way?"

Divine Emperor laughed: "Exactly, your long-time friendship of undermining each other is worth 80 million Gold Coins."

Bloodrose Rosa laughed and sighed: "Gold Coins are valuable now; investment in pioneering and research burns tons of money. To be able to pull out 80 million spare cash is truly a tycoon. We just invested 200 million Gold Coins in the goblin airship and suddenly went broke."

Eternal Star’s eyebrow twitched: "By the way, just received insider news from the Hero Headquarters that the National War Server will be delayed by another 4 days."

Royal Dominator couldn’t help but laugh: "Are they discussing how to deal with airships?"

Eternal Star laughed: "We can’t say it’s dealing, but with their nature, they’re probably discussing how to make money. So it’s certain, come that time, the officials will subtly encourage players to use airships."

Bloodrose Rosa delighted: "Great, the more days delayed, the better for us right now!"

Eternal Star sighed: "Exactly, we need time desperately now. Especially Boss Ma has thrown all the main forces into the Great Wilderness; an extra day gives us a breather."

Just as they were speaking, the Naga Female Hero Sona disembarked and came ashore. Royal Dominator laughed: "Here she comes, quickly go greet her."

...

Meanwhile, in the Great Wilderness, War Soul Clan.

Chang Liang, after a round of wandering, accepted an escort task to follow the slave giant ship of Hero Kunyak of the War Soul Clan to sea.

Indeed, after Chang Liang’s research, there’s truly no way to survive on land; either it’s barren where birds don’t lay eggs, or the monsters are overwhelmingly strong. The monsters around the War Soul Tribe are especially strong in terms of Move Speed, they run as soon as they’re hit, regular player units are simply helpless against them, let alone Chang Liang now being a Commander, with no way to do tasks on land to develop the reputation of the War Soul Clan.

So whether it’s escorting or exploring, going to sea has become the only choice. And it must be said, Chang Liang’s luck was good; if he missed this chance to go to sea, he’d probably have to wait several real-life days for the next.

After the water and provisions were loaded at the dock, the "cargo" on this voyage was escorted onto the ship, consisting of one or two hundred Minotaurs and One-eyed Giants.

The One-eyed Giant is the 7th-level soldier of the Beastman, but the regular Minotaur seems to be the 3rd-level soldier of the Hidden Race Dark Elf. However, Minotaurs of such size have at least reached the level of 6th-level soldiers. Moreover, whether it’s One-eyed Giants, Minotaurs, the Birdman that trapped Star, or the Centaur Tribe that Bloodrose Guild is searching for, these are all mythical creatures from Greek mythology, suggesting the Great Wilderness is essentially a mythological continent with much richer content than its surface desolation.

Chang Liang asked Kunyak: "May I ask, Deputy Chief, where did these slaves come from?"

Kunyak’s expression was solemn: "From the mountains in the northern range, it’s an extremely dangerous region, especially the Minotaurs are deep underground in the mountains, we simply don’t dare to venture there."

Indeed, there’s an Underground World! Chang Liang excitedly asked: "Since we don’t dare venture in, how did we capture so many Minotaurs?"

Kunyak smiled proudly: "We may not dare to go down, but these fools come up to step on our traps themselves. To us, they’re not much different from regular beasts. The only difference is that they’re considered sapient beings, making it easier for us to train them into slaves. Minotaurs are natural slaves; they don’t like thinking, just feed and house them well and they’ll obey. Something even more interesting, if they don’t have someone leading them, they feel uncomfortable not knowing what to do."

Chang Liang expressed understanding and then noticed the thorns binding the slave’s limbs: "What are these thorns for?"

Kunyak replied earnestly: "These are the traps for capturing slaves, and they’re what our tribe relies on to stand firm here. Once warriors gain enough tribe reputation, we’ll reveal its power to you; it’s definitely beyond your imagination."

"I see, I’ll work hard to gain tribe reputation!"

Indeed, so profound! At this moment, both Chang Liang and Ma Yinglong watching from the big screen felt exceedingly gratified.

Chang Liang continued to ask: "Then is this cargo heading to the Naga Sea Domain in the Eastern World?"

Kunyak nodded approvingly: "As expected of a warrior, you even know the Naga Sea Domain! But no, this batch of goods is to pass through the Naga Sea Domain, reaching the distant North Pole where our best trade partners are. Warriors will witness unimaginable wonders!"

Another hidden force? At this moment, both Chang Liang and Ma Yinglong were about to go mad with excitement!

Just then, Kunyak’s expression turned serious: "But the Lords of the Naga Clan won’t let us off easily. They’re highly likely to rob us midway through the voyage. So warriors, this voyage is extremely dangerous. Perhaps as a Beastman you’re a brave warrior unafraid of any challenge on land, but we’re facing the sea; this is a true test, and we don’t have enough confidence. We eagerly anticipate the warrior’s performance!"

Chang Liang was suddenly stunned: "Got it!"

"Well then, get on the ship and set sail!"

The next moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center erupted in an uproar.

Chang Liang’s voice came from the big screen: "Boss, what do you think? I’m just a one-man commander, and they didn’t say they’d give me troops to command. I can’t just rely on shouting, can I?"

Ma Yinglong frowned and said: "You could try to trigger a mission to command the slaves?"

Chang Liang sighed: "As expected of the boss, that seems like the only way, but I’m still not confident."

Ma Yinglong let out a long sigh: "Looks like there’s no other way, we’ll just have to roll with it. Let me see if Star can assist somehow."

Then, the next moment, Ma Yinglong spoke up in the chat room: "Ladies and gents, have you boarded the ship yet?"

Eternal Star laughed: "Hey, almost, just waiting for the cargo to be loaded, then we’re off."

Royal Dominator sighed: "Too bad Boss Ma isn’t with the Bright Alliance, he can’t enter the Dwarven World Window. Otherwise, I was thinking of sparring with Boss Ma, the world’s second undead, on this trip!"

Ma Yinglong said, annoyed: "Since when did I become the second undead?"

Royal Dominator laughed: "Da V is the first, Boss Ma, you gotta accept it."

Ma Yinglong was both crying and laughing: "Even if he is first, I shouldn’t be second, come on, you’re overestimating me."

Divine Emperor sighed: "This is going to be at least a whole day of sailing. I’ve never been this bored playing this game."

Royal Dominator laughed: "No worries, the long journey is not boring with a beautiful guild leader by my side."

Bloodrose Rosa laughed: "Well, sorry to disappoint, but I’ll be AFK the whole day. I need to sort out some things in India."

Royal Dominator sighed: "No way, it’s gonna be so boring, I’m gonna die?"

Ma Yinglong sighed: "Don’t worry, you won’t be bored. I’ll send you a map and tell you something..."

In the next moment, the chat room exploded!

Eternal Star exclaimed: "No way? Boss Ma went so far? What happened to the inside-outside cooperation?"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "That’s Chang Liang’s vanguard progress. He’s only brought a dozen scouting troops, how can he cooperate?"

Bloodrose Rosa exclaimed: "Did you get any information about the Centaur Tribe from this clan?"

Ma Yinglong sighed: "No! The Beastman forces are suppressed by the sea, and their activity range is limited. Plus, Chang Liang just arrived, his reputation is zero, can’t get anything out. Anyway, this sea voyage of Chang Liang’s is meant for us to regroup in the Eastern World, but the problem is he’s a one-man band, you’ll need to pick him up."

Eternal Star chuckled bitterly: "We’re no better, we don’t even have a ship, we’re still relying on others."

Ma Yinglong sighed: "I don’t care, even if you have to shamelessly beg an NPC for help, you better handle it, or pay back the money now!"

"Oh crap!" Eternal Star flipped a middle finger: "This NPC and that Beastman Tribe aren’t related at all, how could they possibly help?"

Ma Yinglong sneered: "Pay to hire them? I think this human NPC who runs the big ship seems like a pirate rogue, talking to him might work?"

Bloodrose Rosa sighed: "Regardless, we must give it a try."

So then, Eternal Star and the big shots approached the Naga Female Hero Sona who was loading cargo, and awkwardly said: "Um, Captain Sona, we have an unreasonable request. We’ve received news that a neutral War Soul Clan fleet far on the Eastern Continent might be threatened by the Naga Lord. Could you perhaps lend a hand? As for the reward—"

Upon hearing this, Sona’s eyebrow twitched: "War Soul Clan?"

Just then, Billbo spoke up from the side: "Sister Sona, it must be the War Soul Clan’s goods being shipped to Ice Song City! If it’s inconvenient for you, then I’ll go save them!"

Ice Song City? Everyone was suddenly stunned!

Bloodrose Leader was even more surprised: "The Ice Song Set that Da Fei sold to Sharukhan!?"

Sona nodded: "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s meet up as fast as possible."

Got it settled in just one sentence? At that moment, everyone was left in shock, mouth agape, in disbelief! (To be continued.
