Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 392

“Wow….”

“Crazy, is this a ship?”

“Isn’t it a spaceship?”

“Well, well, what are you talking about? Even ships with extremely long-range guns weren’t this good…”

All members of the expedition team could not keep their mouths shut as they looked at the ship for sailing to the New World.

Even those who saw Kraven’s ships of the line during the naval battle were struck by the surprisingly large ship, but its unique appearance, with a nimbleness that did not match its enormity.

“A battleship with calverine guns? You can’t compare it to that! It’s just a ‘combat’ ship anyway. “Can we compare it to a specially built ship that is literally an ‘adventure’ ship?”

Fernand said confidently, wiping under his nose.

“yes! This is the ship that was destroyed just before the final battle of the Second World War! It means that the Demon King’s army was already preparing to retreat across the Sea of Dawn. Since you are a descendant of a hero, I thought you were going to have a hard time taking on the task of restoring this! Plus, this time we had to build another ship just like that, so people just went crazy and started jumping around.”

Among the 40 members of the expedition, several were members of Kraven.

This is because it seemed like there would be uncontrollable variables in leaving ship operation to NPCs alone, let alone battles.

One of them, a user belonging to Kraven, a descendant of the hero of the Second Human Demon War, stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“Kikit, I was just wondering… It’s Captain Hook, after all.”

“Who are you, Mr. Biyemi?”

“He is a famous privateer in Kraven. Well, a certified pirate? One of the reasons why most of the supplies going from Puviel to Shazzrasian went by land route is because of that human. I heard that he absorbed all the pirate users and NPC pirates based on small islands…”

“A person like that is a descendant of a hero?”

“Kitkit, isn’t it fun? Anyway, on the surface, he is a privateer, that is, he is a person with permission from the Kingdom of Kraven, so there is no problem.”

Suddenly, it seemed like I could understand why Pubiel’s navy called Kraven an ignorant pirate.

Descendants of heroes refer to those who showed outstanding performance in their respective occupations in their respective countries during the Second World War.

‘But there are people who are practically pirates… huh, really.’

A total of six participants from Kraven’s side.

Other than ‘Hook’, the descendant of the hero, most of the tournament participants also have jobs related to the sea.

“Then how do I get on board? “There are two ships.”

Someone’s question immediately made the area around the dock noisy.

I knew we had to split the ride, but how would we allocate the number of people?

“Shouldn’t we share it so that we have similar power? “I don’t know what kind of enemies I’ll encounter along the way.”

“Let’s just do it with like-minded people! “I don’t know what kind of enemies I’ll encounter along the way, so how can I fight against people I’ve never met before?”

“How about riding by country? Wouldn’t that be better?”

“That’s great! Let’s ride together, together, together! Of the 40 people, there are 16 Phubiel, 13 Minnis, 4 Shazzrasian, 6 Kraven, and 1 Ezwene! There are 20 people in Fviel and Shazzrasian, 19 in Minis and Kraven, and 20 people in Ezwene. “It’s perfect if we share it, right?”

“If that happens, ships with many melee dealers will be vulnerable to attacks…”

“There’s more! There are NPCs inside, but what if users are divided by country? There will be actions that only focus on the interests of each country, not the human union! Instead of competing like that, we have to be a team-”

“Where in the world is there something like that? All you have to do is get there somehow! Our absolute goal is not the great peace of mankind, right? Construction of the Mana Relay Tower and arrival in the New World! “We have to come up with a combination that has the highest chance of achieving that goal!”

The expedition members began to exchange controversial opinions.

Even though we hadn’t even set off yet, we were having so many thoughts over just the one question of ‘how to divide the number of people on board.’

“Okay, we’re in trouble.”

Below, we also looked at users who raised their voices and listened to their opinions.

These are words that have their own basis, so they cannot be easily dismissed. Naturally, the eyes of users had no choice but to focus on Alexander.

It is also the leader’s role to mediate conflicts.

“What should we do, Alexander?”

Fernand asked.

“I heard that one ship belongs to Minnis and the other ship belongs to Pubiel. Is that correct?”

“Ah yes. “I mentioned earlier that Hook and other Kraven users built both ships, but Pubiel and Minis each financed one ship and purchased one ship.”

This means that the ownership itself lies with the two powerful countries on the continent.

Alexander heard those words and nodded.

“I understand. “A list.”

When Fernand handed him a list with the names of the expedition members, Alexander looked at Bailippus and said something.

Seeing that, Lee Ha felt a little relieved.

‘I wasn’t appointed to the position of expedition leader simply because I was ranked number one. ‘The biggest thing is that Bailippus, a helper NPC, is by your side 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.’

[Kyu!]

“Wow, if Mr. Blaugrun was an ancient level, we could have just said we would do it.”

[Kyu?]

“No, no. That’s it.”

Compared to my hatchling, who is the same dragon but cannot communicate with me yet, how trustworthy is the gold dragon’s majesty.

While playing around with Blaugrun, Alexander had already finished discussing with Bailippus.

“Okay. Do it like this. first. Divide similar occupation groups equally across each ship. second. Group together people who are compatible with each other. Third, we mixed the countries as much as possible, but organized them so that if one country inevitably becomes too many, they can board the other side’s ship.”

“It’s reasonable!”

Someone from the expedition team shouted.

The intention is to equalize the power of the two ships as much as possible, while preventing selfish behavior for one’s own country.

Alexander’s decision was based on the worst-case scenario ahead of the New World.

‘The real difficulty that will arise after overcoming all the difficulties… is that one alliance may attempt to monopolize the interests of the New Continent by sinking the other party’s ships.’

Are you really going to naively hold hands just because a piece of the Demon King is right in front of you? Everyone already knows that there is a high probability that this will not be the case.

Therefore, it was appropriate to take out at least the minimum amount of insurance, and in that sense, there was no disagreement about the formation of Alexander’s group.

“From now on, those whose names are being called will board Minnis’ ship. Number 1, Leeha-”

Starting with the names below, twenty people were selected to board the Minis ship.

What does this mean that the following has been assigned to a ship owned by Dajjagojja Minis?

Alexander’s selection criteria meant that many of the people with whom Leeha would be affiliated with Puviel, that is, people who were familiar with Leeha.

‘Good.’

Therefore, it was natural that Lee Ha was internally delighted. Until I got on the boat.

The first person Lee Ha encountered on the sea-crossing ship after climbing up the rope ladder was an unexpected person. No, it was an NPC.

“It’s been a while. Puviel’s Musketeer, Leeha.”

“Uh, uhuh, uhuh—”

Minnis is an ally of Kraven.

And what Kraven provided in terms of alliance for this expedition to the New World was navigation ability. Therefore, it was not particularly strange for Kraven’s character to operate the ship owned by Minnis.

All users are combat agents and NPCs operate the ships.

So, who is the best person on Kraven’s side who will operate the Minnis-owned ship?

It was a simple guess.

“?Commander Drake!”

Lee Ha shouted, lightly adjusting the hem of his coat.

With the attitude that you can never take it off.

* * *

Chamaaaa— Chamaaaa—!

The ships that left the port quickly began to speed up.

The captain of the Minnis-owned ship that Leeha is on is Kraven’s NPC, Drake. He was someone who knew how to best use the storm.

Of course, there were ships belonging to Puviel that did not lose to the speed and kept up with it.

If Kraven sent Drake, there were only a few NPCs on Pubiel’s side who could fight him in the first place.

“I never would have guessed that Commander Burke was the captain over there.”

“Noisy man.”

When Lee Ha shook his head and looked at the ship on the other side, Ram Hwa-jeong, who was next to him, helped out.

“It’s not just NPC Berk. “If you’re going to cause a commotion, there’s someone out there who won’t lose to anyone…”

Kid, standing behind Ramhwajeong, put on his hat and shook his head. Who is the person you are referring to with that attitude of being very worried?

?Lee Ha! Luger, isn’t this guy crazy? Don’t react too emotionally when you

suddenly ask users to fight for the first time . Just ignore them.

?You were making a fuss about fighting with me just now! He’s stealing the rankings, Manet…

?If you talk to Alexander, he’ll quiet down. Once you deal with it, there’s no end to it, so you should ignore it as much as possible.

?Now Mr. Feiu is coming forward, saying that as a fellow Pubiel person, he cannot just ignore it. I don’t know why only people like this ride here!

I could tell just by hearing Shin Na-ra’s complaints coming in to Lee Ha at the right time.

A Luger belonging to Puviel who was classified as a similar occupation to the one below and boarded a Puviel ship.

Even though most of the people on board the Puviel ship were MINIS users, he did not feel discouraged.

Rather than being discouraged, they are now arguing with them like a fish out of water.

‘I heard he’s a great guy. Tsk, it’s a bit of a shame that Nara, who played the role of Inspector Puviel, can’t go with us because he has no choice but to board the Puviel ship.’

As Lee Ha sighed, someone slowly approached behind him.

“brother!”

“What! Kijeong! And Bobae.”

“Hehe, just now your coat was stolen and you looked like you lost your country. Even though you got your coat back, you still don’t look good?”

“Oh, Ki-jeong, is that a joke? “Pfft, I think the expression on your face is bad because you actually don’t have a ‘country’.”

“Ahem, this is a hip-hop style pun that is popular these days.”

Ki-jeong and Bo-bae clumped together and made fun of Lee Ha. Lee Ha shook his head while listening to their absurd conversation.

“ah! But how did you get the coat?”

“Don’t say anything. I said I would give it to you when I arrived in the New Continent, but I gave it to you for a short period of time because I made it clear that I had nothing else to wear. Phew…. I knew this day would come someday.”

Bargaining skills and all, nothing worked.

Who would have thought that the first obstacle in the expedition to the New World would be retrieving Drake’s coat?

‘It was fortunate that the continent’s reputation increased compared to before. Otherwise it would have been impossible.’

Drake was secretly happy to see Lee Ha, but tried to take the coat without hesitation.

[Fernand of the New Serpent delivers. Currently, the Marlin and New-Serpent are cruising toward the Far East off the coast of Kraven, and thanks to the skills of each ship’s captains, it is estimated that they will be able to leave Kraven’s territorial waters immediately after sunset. Each ship’s reconnaissance team must begin its reconnaissance after sunset and after leaving the territorial waters, so please rest comfortably and prepare until then.] [The

scheduled date of this voyage is approximately 60 days, the last time I made the call during the first expedition to the New World . It took about 50 days to reach the point, and there was something resembling land at the edge of the field of view from that point. If it is really a new continent, this voyage will end in about 60 days.]

Fernand’s voice using loudspeaker magic filled the free space in the ocean.

‘Is the name that was upgraded from the Sailfish Lake the Marlin Lake? With the real sense of Commander Berk…’

The fact that the New-Serpent was upgraded from the Serpent was not much to praise, but Lee Ha laughed at the naming sense of the NPCs and repeated Fernand’s cry once again.

The first day of sailing was relaxing and everyone was excited.

None of them, who were thinking about what would happen in the future, could sense the anxiety hidden in Fernand’s words.
