A Three-Pronged Assault

Generally, for quests like this where you go to a certain place to kill a few monsters, the monsters will respawn quickly. So, no matter how many people do this kind of quest, there will theoretically be enough monsters for them to kill; at most, it just takes a little longer.

The problem is that in order to conquer the Lost Island, Xiao Yu had already included the eastern third of Lost Island within the scope of the story events, which meant that the Naga that were killed would no longer respawn, making it a bit difficult to find enough quest monsters.

Moreover, it's not just that there aren't enough Naga to kill; the quartermaster's inventory is also running out, especially Murloc babies and those blue and green equipment. Because so many people are buying them, there's not enough. The few epic equipment pieces are currently sufficient, but because the required Immortal Emblem and reputation are too high, only one has been sold so far, but sooner or later a crisis will begin to emerge.

Keep in mind that there's only one of each of those epic items; once they're sold, they're gone forever.

Don't be fooled by the hundreds of adventurers diligently helping you fight monsters and collect resources. If there aren't enough rewards to sustain them, they'll quickly become a source of instability. The reputation system is a give-and-take system; adventurers aren't fools, and no one does anything without a benefit. Xiao Yu has already distributed a large number of Immortal Emblem in exchange for their relentless monster-hunting and questing for reputation. Now, a large number of these badges are about to be redeemed. If Xiao Yu doesn't provide enough reputation items to these adventurers, they might get agitated and gang up on him. Therefore, it's crucial to offer them an even bigger reward as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Naga on the island can also produce a lot of equipment. For example, the Sidnis the Wavewalker that we killed in the morning dropped seven or eight epic equipment pieces, including a story weapon, which caused quite a stir among the adventurers. Some of them even foolishly tried to attack the other camps, but there were too few of them and too many Naga, so they were sent back to the graveyard.

Furthermore, the number of players needs to be controlled. There are already six or seven hundred adventurers on the island, which is enough to help Xiao Yu achieve his next plan. It's time to stop hijacking the ship. Therefore, Xiao Yu decided to wait until the siren lands again before giving them the order to stop their operation.

Around 4 PM, another group of adventurers was brought up, and this would be the last one.

Just as Xiao Yu was instructing the Siren Captain to stop hijacking the ship, the War Soul King also discovered that there were two old acquaintances among the new arrivals.

"Damn, what are you guys doing here?" War Soul King looked at the two guild leaders in front of him with a speechless expression.

Iron Masked Man, the guild leader of the Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty, and I Alone Am Supreme, the guild leader of the High Heaven Pavilion, are his old rivals. As second-tier guilds in the Alliance faction, mainly composed of humans, they are always fiercely competitive, whether it's running dungeons or farming world bosses.

"Just passing by. This island isn't yours, so it's none of your business whether I come or not," Weizun Lingxiao said irritably, while the Iron Masked Man smiled politely at the War Soul King.

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the three guys in front of him. It seemed that these three guilds were at odds. That was good, at least they wouldn't be able to band together so easily. He had originally planned to take it slow, gradually weakening the Naga's strength before attacking the other camps one by one in a few days, and then attacking Yarvis City after taking several camps. But now it seemed that there wasn't that much time to waste. He would deal with the Naga on the outskirts today, and take over the three camps in one go tomorrow.

With that in mind, he simply canceled all reconnaissance missions and replaced them all with missions to kill Naga, collect resources, and assassinate Naga generals. There were quite a few bosses on this island, including not only Naga bosses but also bosses from some vassal races. This would be a good way to give these adventurers something to eat and keep them occupied. These three guilds were powerful, with members generally around level 30 or 40, and they cooperated perfectly, making them capable of easily crushing some of the smaller bosses on the island.

He also sent someone to Hydra City to bring up another batch of reputation rewards, otherwise the quartermaster would have nothing to sell, and it would be bad if the adventurers discovered something was amiss.

Finally, night fell, and we managed to hold on. We had a dozen or so 300 Murloc Babies left, and we sold over fifty of the 100 Water Spirit Babies. We didn't sell many Turtle and Dragon Turtle mounts because the reputation requirements were too high. But judging from the adventurous look on these adventurers' faces, I reckon quite a few people will accumulate enough reputation and Immortal Emblem in the next few days.

However, despite the significant effort, the rewards were equally plentiful. Almost all the scattered bosses on the island have been wiped out, and now only three camps remain to be eliminated.

The next morning, before eight o'clock, almost all the members of the three guilds were online. Competition breeds motivation, and at this point, no one wanted to fall behind.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Good morning, adventurers. Today will be a brutal day. According to my scouts, the Naga have detected our movements and will soon launch an attack. The first strike is crucial; we must strike first. I will dispatch my capable generals to lead my army to attack three Naga camps. If you are willing, you can join me in this operation."

[System Notification: Quest Triggered - Preemptive Strike: Coordinate with Azathoth's the Immortals Legion to attack the Tidecaller Camp, Shark Rider Camp, Turtle Trainer Camp. Kill the Naga commanders of the three camps: Lady Salivaqisi the Tidecaller, Shark Rider Lord Keli, Dragon Turtle Keeper Dewa'lian.]

Upon hearing the system notification, the players immediately began to discuss it animatedly.

Especially the players from those three guilds.

Yesterday, they each sent people to scout the three Naga camps. Lady Salivaqis is a Naga Tidecaller, Shark Rider Lord Keli is stationed in an inland lake, aided by sharks; and the Dragon Turtle Administrator is a Tuskarr who can command dragon turtles in battle.

"In other words, why don't we each take charge of one of these three camps? That way, we can avoid fighting over monsters and hurting our relationships," War Soul King suggested.

"Very well," said the Iron Masked Man, "Then my **** Kingdom will be in charge of the Tidecaller Camp."

"Our High Heaven Pavilion is in charge of the Shark Rider Camp."

The War Soul King rolled his eyes. "Turtle Trainer Camp."

After the three finished their discussion, they each assembled their teams. Although there were many scattered players, they lacked organization and could only follow the forces of these three guilds. At the same time, Xiao Yu's three armies were also ready.

P. S.: I originally planned to post four chapters, but I'm just too tired to write anymore. I'll try to post four more tomorrow. Sorry, readers.
