At the same time, in the second-class passenger area of ​​the Star of Hope, the passengers here were fully armed and guarded in various key areas. They did not show too nervous expressions. In fact, most of the people who walked through the lost cities in the Veeron Continent and came out alive have temporarily forgotten their fear and fear. In their eyes, pirates are no different from those monsters hidden in the city and want to eat them at any time. Killing pirates is their only way out.

Although all the people here are surviving adventurers, and to the eyes of others, if you look closely at the defense line they arranged according to their own ideas, it is not difficult to find that there are still differences in status among them, adventurers.

Among them, the scattered adventurers were arranged near the entrances of the second-class cabin and belonged to the first level of defense. These adventurers were all holding weapons such as mechanical crossbows, swords and other weapons.

The second layer of defense is an adventure team in the form of a dozen small teams. These people are holding different weapons, and there are even some extraordinary people like shamans and wizards. They guarded several small cabins not far from the entrance according to their habits, and could replace the adventurers on the first layer of defense at any time.

The last layer of defense is a large adventure team composed of more than a dozen people. They arranged the defense lines completely according to their own wishes. Two of the adventure teams chose to deploy defenses outside the cabin, and even moved out various furniture in the cabin. Adventurers from other defense lines formed defense fortifications. It is not difficult to see from their arrangement that there should be officers and other people who have been on the battlefield, because all the defense fortifications are very similar to military defense fortifications.

As for the last adventure team, when everyone was preparing for the pirates, they suddenly locked themselves in their cabin suite, looking like they didn't want to fight with the pirates at all.

Although everyone present was extremely angry at the behavior of this adventure group, no adventurer dared to knock on the door and accuse them of it, including the big adventure group, because the adventure team in the room was a completely different kind of existence in the minds of the adventurers who were mingling at the bottom, and various rumors in the past reminded them all the time that no one who deals with this adventure group would end up with a good end.

In fact, the adventurers outside the house did not know that not everyone in the adventurers team was convinced by the orders left by their captain in the cabin. Almost half of them were the semi-newcomers who had joined the company for a short time, hoping to make the captain change their minds.

"If you want to participate in the battle, you can participate by yourself and don't need to obey my orders." Canto Femon, the founder and captain of the Femont Squad, looked at the dozen men who tried their best to persuade him and said coldly: "But remember that if you violate my orders, you will automatically dismiss the team and will no longer be the Femont Squad." As he said, he directly removed a stack of cash checks from the Lady's Church Bank in the Lake from his backpack, put them on the table, and said: "This is the reward for your adventure this time, and I can pay you in advance."

Seeing Canto Femon say such decisive words, all those who question Canto Femon were stunned. They obviously did not expect that they just persuaded their captain to participate in the defensive battle against the pirates, but they turned into withdrawing from the team. For a moment, everyone was silent.

Although it is a good thing to be able to get the reward for this adventure in advance, if it comes at the cost of leaving the Femont Squad, as long as the smarter people are clear about what to choose, and some people will even be willing to return the reward in exchange for the qualification to stay in the Squad.

As the top adventure team in the world of Velon, every time the Femon team enters those Lost City, they can exchange the minimum casualties for the greatest benefit. It is even rumored that the captain of Femon team Canto Femon has mastered a way to safely avoid those monsters or prevent monsters from discovering intruders.

The newcomers from the Femon team did not believe such rumors before joining the team, but after they completed one or two adventure missions, they felt that the rumors might be true, because during the entire adventure, Canto Femon was able to know the appearance of monsters and the attack methods of monsters in advance, and made targeted arrangements. Except for a few idiots and unlucky guys, they were unable to follow his arrangements and died at the hands of monsters. Others were in danger during the entire adventure.

The gains of following the Philmon team on an adventure are ten times that of other adventure teams, but the dangers encountered are much smaller than those of other adventure teams. As long as people with a little brain are aware of how lucky it is to be a member of the Philmon team.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn and awkward. The people who were just talking to persuade Canto Femon to remain silent and looked at the old team members sitting elsewhere, as if they wanted the old team members to plead. No one touched the rewards on the table, and they didn't even look at them.

However, the old team members obviously wanted to live up to the expectations of the newcomers. They had no intention of pleading, because they knew very well that the reason Canto Femon made such a tough statement was to take this opportunity to educate these newcomers who had not suffered, let them know the importance of obeying orders, and to eliminate those who did not meet the basic requirements of the team.

Joining the Femont team does not require enough combat power. In fact, personal combat power only accounts for a small part of the basic conditions for joining the team, because combat power can be cultivated in the later stage. The most important condition for joining the team is to obey orders.

The surviving old people are very clear about the importance of obeying orders, because they have experienced the fact that one person almost perished the orders, so they are very supportive of Canto Femon's decision.

However, the only woman among the old team members didn't know whether she couldn't bear to see the new team members continue to be in such an awkward situation, or did not like the solemn atmosphere in the room, so she deliberately changed the topic and pointed to the big box beside Canto Femon and said: "Those guys must be coming for this thing. They want to regain the divine artifact of the Lord of the Sky by regaining the divine artifact of the Lord of the Sky. They are bound to win this divine artifact, so don't we prepare it?"

Canto Femon looked at the old team members and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm ready for what I need to prepare."

When I heard Canto Femon's words, not only the new team members looked confused, but even the old team members' faces were full of confusion.

Because they had no idea what the preparations were in Canto Famon's mouth were. In their memory, after getting on the ship, Canto Famon was always with them. The only command issued was to keep everyone in the cabin. Even if the captain of the Star of Hope personally persuaded them to join the battle against the pirates, Canto Famon's decision still did not change. No matter how you look at Canto Famon, it didn't look like he was prepared for the pirates.

However, everyone present also knew that Canto Famon is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. Since he said that he was prepared, he would definitely be prepared, but the preparation he spoke might be different from the preparations that everyone thought of.

Or in the trust of Canto Femon, or perhaps it is clear that it is impossible to get an answer from Canto Femon, so no one present asked Canto Femon what was prepared for.

A slightly younger team member pointed to the big box and asked, "Don't you clean up the things there? Although they have been dry for a long time and don't smell much, they just took them to the auction house like this, I'm afraid..."

"That's the best. I just want this effect, and I will ask the auction house not to clean up the things on it when it is sold." Cantor Femon's face showed a smug smile, and reached out to stroke the big box next to him, and said, "I can't wait to see those hypocritical guys from the Lord of the Sky seeing their divine objects being eaten by monsters, and then turned into feces and pulled out, and put them on the platform to auction."

Seeing Canto Femon's appearance now, all the new and old players present were speechless. They knew very well that they were very rational even when facing death. Once they were involved in matters related to the Lord of the Sky, they would have no reason at all.

At this time, a new team member sitting at the door suddenly changed his face slightly, then he suddenly stood up from the chair, skillfully took out his weapon, aimed at the door, and reminded everyone, "What's wrong outside!"

Although I was not sure what was wrong with my companion’s mouth, everyone took out their weapons at the same time, aimed them at the two entrances of the companion’s mouth, and used their respective methods to find and analyze what my companion said was wrong.

"It's too quiet." Someone soon revealed the answer.

As this person said, there were all kinds of bustling sounds outside the moment before, but at this moment it was as quiet as the wilderness in the night, and even the breathing of the people in the room seemed as if it had been amplified by more than ten times.

"Don't worry, just stay quiet." Compared to the vigilant team members around him, Canto Femon was obviously very relaxed. He seemed to know what was going on outside, so he calmed everyone's emotions in an extremely relaxed tone, and a deep smile appeared on his face, feeling like he was seeing a hunter taking the bait.

Compared to Canto Femon's relaxed and confident, the captain of the Star of Hope seemed very desperate at this moment.

Before, although he did not think that the defense he arranged could repel the fleet of three large pirates, he was very confident that he could keep the battle until the support came. As the horn sounded, the sirens in the nearby seas would inevitably come to support. With the help of the sirens, let alone more than a dozen pirate ships, even more than a dozen will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

However, what he never expected was that the enemy's attack was so unexpected, so powerful, and so effective. Before he understood what was going on, he saw his fully armed crew members falling down one by one and falling asleep. Only a few crew members who were protected by extraordinary items, or who were extraordinary people could barely remain awake, but their bodies were as soft as him and their hands were weak. In this state, they could not even hold on to the weapon, and it was even more impossible to stand. They either held the objects beside them or could only lie on the ground.

"Damn it, what's going on?" The captain looked at the fallen crew and looked at the pirate ship gradually emerging from the thick fog. His face was filled with despair, and he murmured to himself: "It's over, we're all done!"

At this time, he thought of Leo Dodd, and thought that if Leo Dodd was really the person he knew, there might be hope. He even looked forward to seeing Leo Dodd suddenly appear from the fog, and then destroy all the pirate ships on the sea, so that the Star of Hope would be out of the predicament.

However, the captain was disappointed until the extraordinary items on his body lost their effect and he fell into a coma under the influence of inexplicable power. The miracle he expected did not appear.

At the same time, the pirate ships close to the Star of Hope have thrown the hook lock and grabbed it out of the side of the ship. They can jump to the Star of Hope at any time, but the strange thing is that they did not continue to attack, but sailed forward with the Star of Hope, which feels more like protecting the ship.

However, this accompanying did not last long. After lit a striking brazier on the three pirate flagships, the pirates who had already been ready to jump and helped the Star of Hope. Then they trained to find the unconscious crew, skillfully confiscated the weapons in the hands of the crew, and tied up the crew.

As the leaders of the three pirate ships, Henry, the sea witch Motana and the old sea dog Jenningt, ignored the movements on the deck after boarding the ship. They quickly found the passage to the second class cabin as if they knew the structure of the Star of Hope, and then opened the way through their subordinates and walked towards the second class cabin.

Although they are very confident in their potions and spells, they dare not be careless, and what happened later proves that their caution is very correct.

When they entered the main compartment of the second-class cabin, they encountered an attack. Several passengers with extraordinary power did not completely lose consciousness. After seeing the pirates, they instinctively raised the mechanical crossbow in their hands and attacked. The pirates who were walking in the front were killed on the spot because they were too careless, and the passengers seemed to have exhausted their last strength and fell into a coma.

Originally, these people were about to be dismembered by the angry pirates on the spot, but they were stopped by the Sea Witch and suggested that these people be sold as slaves. The other two agreed with the Sea Witch's decision.
