59: Chapter 59: Be tough!
"You can't be playing like this, right?"
Chen Fan was completely speechless.
Not only did ten patrol boats show up in his second stage, but the third stage even threw in a Steel City?
What was even more deadly was that ten cannons were lined up along the hundred-meter-wide wall!
Are you kidding me?
Which of The Five Women's sailboats could withstand a single cannon blast?
Even if they could withstand one, he didn't have enough materials to repair them.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan glanced at Lairuilei behind him.
"I can still fire 2-3 more arrows."
Lairuilei understood instantly and said softly.
Chen Fan nodded.
In other words, Lairuilei could instantly destroy two cannons.
As for the three arrows she mentioned, Chen Fan simply ignored it.
But even so, the remaining eight cannons could directly sink The Five Women's sailboats.
Without the Hundredfold Cash Back bonus, even if they completed the dungeon, the rewards wouldn't be enough for them to upgrade back to their current level.
Not to mention, Chen Fan wasn't sure if one could still be resurrected after dying in a dungeon.
"It's a stalemate."
Chen Fan shook his head, wondering if he should have The Five Women retreat outside the cannons' attack range.
Or perhaps have them hide behind him?
Vase: "Look at the regional chat window!"
speechless ship: "I noticed it too. It seems everyone's dungeon is different from before?"
Chen Fan glanced at the window and was instantly amused.
"Holy crap, why is the dungeon different? Who can break through such a high stone wall?"
"Damn it, there are actually so many archers on the wall."
"Not just archers. Didn't you see those five giant bows?"
"Didn't they say the Daytime Instance wasn't dangerous? Getting hit by those things would be brutal, if not fatal."
"Have all your enemies been replaced by stone walls?"
"Yeah, damn it, last time it was just a dirt wall. Why did the difficulty suddenly spike?"
"Maybe we should just quit. The materials collected in the first stage aren't even enough to repair the ship."
"Quit +1."
"+10086."
Even before the protective shield had dissipated, many players were already preparing to quit.
The Five Women looked at the chat, then looked up at what was before them, and couldn't help but gulp.
Samo: "Others have stone walls, why is ours a Steel Wall?"
Vase: "Exactly! What kind of decent person builds a city wall out of steel?"
long time ship: "It's probably because Brother's level is too high. This difficulty must be determined by the strongest combat power."
Demon: "True... These cannons could probably blow us to bits in one shot."
Just then, the system voice sounded again.
[Stage 3 Mission Objective: Destroy the enemies and weapons on the city wall. Time limit: 1 hour.]
[Death within the dungeon will result in data being wiped and having to start over.]
[After players have discussed their strategy, they can manually deactivate the protective shield to start the level.]
[Stage 3, Begin!]
There was no countdown, no other prompts.
After the system voice faded, everything remained as usual.
The Five Women looked at each other across half the sea.
long time ship: "Brother, can you think of something? Do we fight or leave?"
Vase: "Yeah, think of something, big brother~"
speechless ship: "Stop messing around. Don't cause trouble at a time like this."
Demon: "Exactly. Don't be in such a hurry, little Vase. Once we've dealt with this, we'll let Brother Fan find a way to help you 'arrange some flowers'."
Samo: "Pfft, hahaha..."
Since they could quit the dungeon at any time, The Five Women's mood was relatively relaxed.
They were just a bit depressed about not getting the rewards.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan keenly picked up on the system rules.
"As long as I destroy the cannons and eliminate the enemies on the wall, it counts as passing?"
"That's not too bad then."
His brain worked rapidly, and soon, he had a strategy in mind.
Based on the placement of the cannons on the wall, a single 135mm shell could destroy three of them.
So there must be other firepower to coordinate with.
"You five, hide behind my main ship."
Hearing this, The Five Women's eyes instantly lit up.
From the looks of it, Chen Fan intended to take this wall head-on.
So, they quickly steered their sailboats behind the patrol boat.
The eighty-meter-long patrol boat was enough to shield the five sailboats completely.
After checking and finding no vulnerabilities, Chen Fan prepared to deactivate the protective shield.
"You five, just lie low and don't move. Leave the rest to me."
Vase: "1v5? Do you have enough stamina?"
speechless ship: "..."
long time ship: "..."
Samo: "..."
Demon: "..."
Chen Fan was also staggered by her words. After shooting her a glare, he ignored her.
"Prepare to attack!"
With a low growl, the Crew Members immediately took their positions.
The Single-barrel Naval Gun, under the control of Navigator Gaia, aimed at the three cannons in the center.
Chen Fan nodded slightly and reached out to tap the system's light screen.
"Deactivate shield!"
The pale blue energy shield gradually dissipated, and the ten-meter-high Steel Wall was clearly revealed before his eyes.
Before the enemy could become alert, his side opened fire simultaneously.
"Zzzzt—"
First, a flash of green light swept across, and the cannon closest to the corner instantly disintegrated.
Then, two roars rang out.
The cannons on the ghost ship accurately destroyed two cannons on the wall.
Immediately after, Kadel's eyes widened.
"Bang bang bang—"
Three Shrapnels flew out, surrounding three of the cannons.
Although the damage was negligible to the cannons, no one dared to step within the ten-meter diameter, effectively putting the cannons under indirect control.
The ballistae were not to be outdone, aiming at a cannon's muzzle and firing simultaneously.
Ten giant Bolts slammed into the muzzle.
Clearing out these Bolts would take a considerable amount of time.
Thus, the moment the shield dissipated, seven cannons were rendered useless.
As for the remaining three.
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, the terrifying impact caused The Five Women to instinctively clutch their heads.
Those three cannons were taken out in one shot by the Single-barrel Naval Gun.
Both the men and the cannons were instantly vaporized.
The soldiers on the wall were stunned for a moment before immediately starting to clear the Bolts.
The cannon riddled with Bolts was quickly cleared. Just as they turned it around to open fire...
Ten Bolts arrived simultaneously, plugging the muzzle once again.
The shell inside the cannon, being obstructed, actually exploded in the barrel.
A massive explosion killed all the soldiers within a few meters.
Thus, in just two minutes, only the three cannons surrounded by shrapnel remained of the original ten.
As the duration of the Shrapnels ended, the soldiers on the wall swarmed forward.
The muzzles were aimed at Chen Fan's two ships.
