Chapter 85: The Distressed Gillfish Clan

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Thousands of members of the Gillfish Clan sat on the shore with weapons in their hands, gazing blankly at the sea.

They did not go fishing in the sea or hunting in the jungle today as they knew that those creatures would arrive at any time.

It had happened countless times, and the constant visits of the players had caused them to lose their cool.

From being grateful to the Sea God in the beginning to cursing the gods now, no one knew the ups and downs that they had been through.

Ever since the legend was spread across the forum, saying that the Son of the Sea was found at the Fallen Fish Island, innumerable players had sailed here according to the coordinates they had.

Meanwhile, all the players who had suffered the inhumane torture had somehow reached a consensus and chose to hide the truth. Then, they quietly hyped the deceiving post in the forum, hoping that the other players would join in on the suffering.

This became the greatest deceit in the history of Battle Online.

However, this had caused a great inconvenience to the humble and honest Gillfish Clan. The arrival of incessant batches of players were starting to exhaust their hospitality.

As they expected, a warship came into view in the distance.

The gamers on the ship were moved by the scene and some of them even shed tears.

“I see it… I see it! That’s the Fallen Fish Island that was mentioned in the forum,” the players on the warship exclaimed in excitement, as though they had foreseen themselves reaching the peak of life after they had successfully obtained the Son of the Sea.

“The members of the forum were right. The natives on the island are really welcoming. Look! They are standing at the shore, waving at us!” they made a joyful remark when they saw the members of Gillfish Clan who were actually waving their weapons in protest by the shore.

As they were approaching the island, the players stood on the deck of the warship and waved back at the Gillfish Clan gleefully.

The members of the Gillfish Clan were flustered by the players’ reactions.

They were especially bewildered when they saw the creatures’ smiling faces. Are these creatures insane? They obviously know that they are sending themselves to an early grave. Yet, they act so imprudently. How did they gain their courage?

After the warship docked at the port, the players were beaming as they disembarked the warship. Then, they walked toward the members of Gillfish Clan, who were running at them enthusiastically.

……

In a certain crystal palace under the Void Ocean.

Confused, the Sea King stared at the elder who was groveling at his feet.

“You are saying that there’s a kind of creature that has been coming to the Fallen Fish Island to die every day, and you can’t take it anymore?”

“That doesn’t sound right. The Gillfish Clan doesn’t have many resources. You should be welcoming them to sacrifice their lives at your place instead. Only with sufficient food can you expand your tribe, too.”

The elder of the Gillfish Clan clan raised his head and wiped away his tears, “My King, but we can’t eat them. They will disappear after we briefly cook them.”

The Sea King was puzzled.

He had no idea what was happening either.

He would not be bothered with such a trivial matter if the Gillfish Clan had not pledged loyalty to him and selected ten of their strongest warriors to join his navy every year.

Upon listening to the the complaint of the Gillfish Clan’s elder, the confused Sea King interrupted him,

“Tell me, what do you want to do?”

The elder of the Gillfish Clan calmed himself down, “My King, can you send someone to protect us? If this continues, our clan will really be doomed. We haven’t been eating for the past few days. They will come in the morning, evening, and even at midnight. We haven’t been hunting for other food for days.”

The elder of the Gillfish Clan involuntarily teared up again when he recalled his recent experience.

Looking at the poor elder, the Sea King heaved a sigh and waved his hand, “Big Hammer, bring along a group of people to protect the Gillfish Clan. Meanwhile, investigate the opponent’s background.”

The humanlike tiger shark, with the name of Big Hammer, nodded. It threw a contemptuous glimpse at the elder before it exited the crystal palace and assembled his subordinates.

Then, Big Hammer followed the elder of the Gillfish Clan back to Fallen Fish Island.

With Big Hammer’s help, the Gillfish Clan was finally put to ease. They began to hunt and pick fruits as usual. Their daily lives resumed. For the first time, they were so grateful for their everyday life.

Big Hammer and the warriors were stationed at the territorial waters near the Fallen Fish Island. They were rather satisfied with the hospitality provided by the Gillfish Clan.

However, before long, they got distressed again.

Just as the elder of the Gillfish Clan predicted, the players attacked them several times during the period of Big Hammer’s stay.

Everytime, the players would run into the Sea King Navy led by the Big Hammer, and none of them could escape from death.

In the beginning, Big Hammer had some fun with it. However, as he encountered more and more players, he quickly became exhausted.

He did not get to sleep at all as the ceaseless attacks came erratically. Big Hammer could finally understand what the Gillfish Clan was going through.

It’s as if they are here for a suicide mission. They are walking to their graves with a smile while waving at me politely. Am I not ferocious enough to scare them?

Eventually, Big Hammer and the others could not take it anymore.

However, it did not end here. As the post of Battle Online on the forum reached tens of thousands of views, the visits of the players became increasingly frequent. Big Hammer could not take it any longer. It ordered its navy to return to the crystal palace to seek help.

The Forum of Battle Online: “I’ve found the Son of the Sea. There are quite a number of them on the island.”

The 33,412th comment:

I’m_Not_Fat_At_All: “The number of views has reached 30,000… I reckon it’s time to reveal the secret. (hilarious)”

Crayon_Shinchan: “The power of the deceived ones is strong enough, and we are fully capable of taking revenge now. Shall we disclose the secret?”

Beef_Noodle: “Yes. Let’s do it. Let’s tell them the truth. We have enough people already. Our capacity is sufficient to make an extermination possible.”

A_Salted_Fish: “I hate you, bastards. Do you know what I went through? (Gritting teeth)”

Cat_Slave_XiaoMei: “We’re finally revealing the truth! I almost perished trying to keep the secret! OP, I really want to kill you!”

Adorkable_XiaoBai: “We’re going to stop tricking people? Knowing that I’m the last batch to be tricked, I feel so aggrieved that I can’t share this kind of pain with others.”

As many players fell into the trap, the size of the crew increased. Fatty and An Sheng, together with the others, decided to disclose the truth. They had also prepared to assemble the resentful players and form a troop to go to Fallen Fish Island to take their final revenge.
