On this day, there were many posts requesting for assistance in the game forum.
A video was even attached to one of the posts.
In the video, a giant warship the size of an aircraft carrier was heading toward the warship of the player who recorded the video. Soon after, it mercilessly crashed into the warship that they were in.The powerful force of the impact tore through their warship from the middle and the entire warship was hacked in half.
After the warship sank, numerous players fell into the water. Meanwhile, a game notification appeared in front of the player who shot the video.
[The warship that you were in has been hit and sunk by the Zero Guild’s Warship (Europe), with plundering ability activated. 1% of the total experience points of your guild warship will be plundered.]
When they realized it was a warship from the European server players, the players in the water wanted to climb aboard the warship and kill them all. However at that moment, a storm started brewing on the surface of the sea.
Huge waves pulled all of them underwater where they drowned in the vortex that was gradually forming.
At the end of the video, the screen dimmed, but many European server players could be seen jumping off the giant warship to collect the goods that fell randomly from the dead players.
This scene immediately caused resentment among many of the original players.Watermelon_Taro: “Where did they get so much money to build this aircraft-carrier warship? Besides, this warship is obviously messing with us on purpose!”
Xueli_The_Strongest: “Counterattack! Counterattack! I’m contacting our guild leader now. Let’s get ready to sail our Great Dragon Warship out to sea and attack them!”
Invincible_Loneliness: “This warship is probably at least a Level 10. Its level of toughness is high indeed, as it was still intact after the hit. However, since they have the guts to come and mess with us this early in the game, there’s nothing more to say about it. Let’s start a war!”
Ye_Xueer_Is_The_Cutest: “They are now at large! I thought we would wait a little and allow them to develop steadily for a while first, but now that they have taken the initiative to plunder us, there is nothing more that needs to be said. Let’s fight them!”
Crayon_Shinchan: “I guess this is the only warship in their entire region. If we bombard and sink it, does that mean we have destroyed the marine power of the entire European server? (laughing emoji)”
…
Soon after, many players started to log into the game, headed toward the Liuli Coast and assembled there waiting for their retaliation.
According to their calculations, this super-warship from the European server had bombarded and sunk more than 30 guild-level warships so far. As for Specter Ships, more than a hundred had been attacked, and this thoroughly provoked their wrath.
At that moment, a large number of players assembled in the safe zone off the Liuli Coast. Approximately 10,000 guild-level warships and a few hundred thousand Specter Ships docked there, preparing to launch a huge counterattack.
Liu Chai, who acted as the interim commander, yelled out loud, “The live chat channel of the interim navy is activated. Everyone who is joining in the war, please enter the navy’s live chat channel. Pass this message along to each other!”
The members of other guilds nearby who heard Liu Chai started to pass this message on to their respective guilds’ live chat channels. Many players then started to enter the new navy live chat channel that Liu Chai created.
Soon, there were around two million people in the army live chat channel.
“The number of people is almost enough. This time, we shall sail out to sea, defeat the enemies and prove our nation’s prowess!” Liu Chai commanded as the warships left the safe zone of Liuli Coast one-by-one and sailed toward the Void Ocean.
During the journey, Liu Chai started to arrange the strategy.
If a large-scale encirclement like this appeared collectively, the super-warship from the European server would definitely choose to escape. Hence, Liu Chai planned to lure the warship out by using decoy ships as bait before carrying out the siege and destroy strategy.
When their fleet sailed into the Void Ocean, Liu Chai led them toward Vulture Island according to the clues provided by the players in the forum.
At this moment, the Great Dragon Warship moved out of the fleet formation and sailed forward to explore.
Seeing that the decoy ship had moved out, Liu Chai immediately shouted in the guild’s live chat channel.
“Everybody get in the water and keep your warships! Stay undetected!”
The players quickly dropped into the water like dumplings, before keeping their warships. The colossal fleet suddenly disappeared from the ocean immediately.
Under Liu Chai’s lead, they waited there silently.
Meanwhile, somewhere around the territorial waters of Vulture Island, Li Xing stood at the top of the Zero Guild Warship’s mast, checking the situation of the surrounding ocean using the telescope that he bought from the shop.
Their journey out to sea this time was just as Reinhardt had said. They had bombarded and sunk many warships and plundered abundantly. These were goods that they could never obtain from killing monsters. The large amount of returns made the people aboard the warship very excited because they knew that this kind of plundering had worked as expected.
Just then, Li Xing found a blue warship floating on the sea at a short distance.
“Brothers, the goods are coming at eleven o’clock!”
Upon hearing that, Jason who was below him had a sudden thought. The Zero Guild Warship below his feet let out a roar and turned quickly, sailing toward the direction Li Xing was pointing at.
…
As the Zero Guild Warship approached, the people of the Great Dragon Guild noticed its presence.
“Boss Liu, attention please! I’m leading them toward the encirclement. Ready for assistance, please!” Chen Ziyu growled into the navy live chat channel, before turning the Great Dragon Warship around, speeding away.
Liu Chai, who was lying in ambush a few nautical miles away, replied abruptly, “Boss Chen, it’s all on you. The brothers here are ready!”
At this moment, Li Xing who stood at the top of the mast held the mast with one hand, and a telescope in the other. He observed the Great Dragon Warship turning around from afar and smiled.
“Brothers, our prey is running away. Speed up!”
There was a six level difference between the two warships. As the Zero Guild Warship started to accelerate, the distance between them gradually decreased.
Chen Ziyu’s face paled as he looked at the scene before him. All he had to do now was make sure this super-warship sailed into their formed encirclement.
However, the sailing speed of this warship was so fast that it was way beyond their expectations.
“Great Dragon, activate our armor!” Chen Ziyu shouted decisively as he looked at the Zero Guild Warship that was already less than a hundred yards away.
After the golden light of their armor covered the Great Dragon Warship, the sailing speed of the Great Dragon Warship increased as well. However, a golden light flashed on the Zero Guild Warship, too, causing its speed to increase substantially. In a flash, the distance between the two warships was closer than ever.
Chen Ziyu had a horrified look on his face as he watched the huge naval ram coming straight toward the rear of his warship. Their only mistake this time was underestimating the actual strength of this warship.
Boom! The Great Dragon Warship shook violently, the golden light on its outer surface tore apart instantly. The naval ram ruthlessly crashed into the rear of the warship, destroying its entire aft cabin. Soon after, the Great Dragon Warship started to tilt, the ship’s bow lifting in the air due to the stress from the rear of the ship.
“Hahaha! This warship has skills! It looks like the players on this ship have a lot of goods!” bald-headed Jason stood at the ship’s bow, laughing as he watched the scene unfold before him.
The surrounding guild members had smiles on their faces as they looked at the Great Dragon Warship sinking slowly into the water, causing the players on the ship to jump into the water.
“As usual, ten shots per person. The goods go to whoever hits the target!” said Li Xing to the guild members after jumping down from the top of the mast.
Their individual strength could not rival the other players, so naturally they didn’t dare go into the water and fight with them recklessly. Therefore, they used the spiritual energy cannons to strike down the players who had fallen into the water.
Chen Ziyu was livid when he saw energy bullets being shot at them. He could not help but shout in the live chat channel.
“Boss Liu, I’ve been attacked and my warship has sunk… their warship is just too fast… mission failed!”
Upon hearing Chen Ziyu’s words, Liu Chai, who was lying in ambush a short distance away, pondered about it before he spoke.
“Ye Xue’er, you lead the guild members to be the second decoy ship. However, you must pay attention to their sailing speed. Return immediately once they have noticed you!”
