Chapter 262: Counterattack
"Hahaha, that’s great! I knew it, when Waldo takes action, it doesn’t matter who you are, you’ll have to yield!"
"Ah, I was so worried earlier! But now, the battleship is ours! With this battleship, our safety is guaranteed!"
"Brother, don’t get too excited. As the saying goes, Born in distress, die in peace! Now that we have the battleship, other Noah’s Arks might have acquired even more powerful warships."
"That’s true. You see, a battleship is a rather outdated vessel with limited deterrence. It can only bully Noah’s Arks that don’t have warships. Once it encounters other advanced warships, it won’t stand a chance."
"Regardless, it’s a time worth celebrating. I believe Waldo will lead the Dawn to glory!"
"Right, I believe in Waldo!"
"I’ve known Waldo for a long time now! He’s always good at creating miracles, bringing us various surprises, just like this time, effortlessly taking down a battleship."
The survivors on the Dawn were having an intense discussion.
Waldo’s reputation and authority on the Dawn have reached their peak at this moment.
Meanwhile, on the Flame-class Battleship.
Waldo gathered Silva and other key members of the Dawn Guard for a brief meeting.
The topic of the meeting was whether to open fire on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark, directing the cannons toward it and retaliating.
Soon, a decision was made.
The decision was to retaliate!
With a command from Waldo, the Flame-class Battleship immediately advanced towards the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark.
Onboard the Flame-class Battleship were numerous survivors from the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark.
Just by casually asking around, they obtained information about the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark’s location.
Before launching the attack, Waldo also had the team gather intelligence about the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark.
Firstly, there were a total of 4,000 survivors on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark.
Among them, the strongest are the two level-60 rulers, known as the Green Wolf and the Black Wolf.
Additionally, there are the ten Colossi under the Two Wolves, all of them at level 50. These Colossi are among the strongest at that level.
Furthermore, on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark, there are five amphibious armored vehicles and a batch of grenade launchers.
A prisoner cautioned with great seriousness, "The Green Wolf and the Black Wolf are extremely formidable. With their combined strength, they can easily take down even level-60 rulers. Please be extremely cautious!"
In response, Waldo merely smiled indifferently.
It had been a long time since he had encountered any worthy opponents. If the Green Wolf and the Black Wolf were truly as powerful as rumored when working together, he might even look forward to it. He just hoped they wouldn’t disappoint him.
"We just wanted to stop the battleship from invading us. Who could have thought it would evolve into this? We’re actually fighting back," Alanna couldn’t help but comment along the way.
The development of events seemed quite dramatic. It had started with the other side coming to invade them, but it hadn’t taken long for their mission to shift to a full-scale assault on the enemy’s base.
Helen couldn’t help but chuckle, "In the end, it’s because they were too weak yet so confident. Who can they blame for this outcome? They have only themselves to blame for being so arrogant as to provoke us!"
"Exactly, they brought this upon themselves. Even if a god descended from the heavens, no one could save them now!" Waldo asserted confidently.
Taking down the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark meant he was determined to eliminate both the Green Wolf and the Black Wolf. From the numerous prisoners on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark, Waldo had learned that the Green Wolf and the Black Wolf were exceptional.
They possessed courage, strategical acumen, and powerful innate talents. Their abilities complemented each other, allowing them to unleash formidable power.
This was why they had been able to kill other level-60 rulers at the beginning and rapidly establish their authority on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark. According to the descriptions given by the prisoners, the Green Wolf and the Black Wolf seemed almost like chosen ones.
Therefore, Waldo had to eliminate both of them. While he was confident in his ability to grow stronger, he couldn’t afford to leave any potential threats unchecked.
At this moment, it was already dawn. On the distant horizon, a ray of light appeared, dazzling and dispelling the vast darkness of the sea. It provided a brief respite for the survivors who had endured a night of battles or navigation, allowing them to catch their breath and regain their spirits.
The second day had arrived. Everyone on the battleship had something to eat, and by now, the sun was shining brightly. Its warm rays bathed the deck of the battleship, providing a comforting warmth.
Meanwhile, in the makeshift command center, Waldo and other key figures gathered. On the map, their positions were displayed, and they were getting close to the location of the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark.
"In just another hour, we’ll be able to see the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark!" Waldo said, his eyes fixed on the map.
Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but feel excited.
"Hahaha! They probably never dreamed that we would turn the tables and come after them," one person exclaimed.
"Yeah, I can already imagine the looks on their faces. It’s going to be quite a show," another person chimed in.
"They brought this upon themselves, can’t blame anyone else. If we don’t settle this once and for all, and let our reputation be known, others might think we’re an easy target!"
"Exactly, that’s the point! If someone dares to come knocking on our door, we have to retaliate, and we can’t let others think we’re pushovers. We’re not sheep; we’re not to be trifled with. Since we’ve come this far, we must make them pay! We have to show everyone with our actions that they can’t afford the price!"
"That’s right! We have to establish the dominance of the Dawn Ark!"
The group discussed their plan to assault the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark, and their enthusiasm was palpable.
Before long, Silva’s expression changed slightly. Waldo noticed the change and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What’s wrong?"
Silva quickly responded, "I’ve received a report from our scouts. They’ve already spotted the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark!"
Waldo clapped his hands together and exclaimed, "Excellent! Very good! Pass the orders down: everyone, prepare for battle!"
Without delay, the orders were relayed, and everyone on board became fully alert. Although they possessed a battleship and held the advantage in terms of strength, they knew that the upcoming battle would be crucial.
However, their opponents were no ordinary foes. They could not afford to be complacent. The prisoners on board the battleship were a warning to them.
Sure enough, soon after, Waldo saw the massive vessel appearing in the distance. There was no doubt that it was the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark!
Waldo appeared on the battleship’s deck, watching the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark in the distance with a cold smile.
"The moment has finally come. You can’t escape now," he muttered to himself.
As the Flame-class battleship approached, the survivors on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark also spotted it. Cheers erupted from their ranks. Clearly, they recognized the battleship.
At this moment, they were celebrating the battleship’s return. They all knew that their battleship had set out against the Dawn Ark, and with its return, they expected it to be victorious. They couldn’t have been happier.
However, what they likely couldn’t imagine was that their proud battleship, instead of returning in triumph, had been utterly defeated. Control of the battleship was no longer in the hands of their familiar comrades but in the hands of Waldo’s Dawn Guard.
This battleship didn’t bring experience points, evolution values, or a variety of valuable resources; it brought artillery fire from the Dawn Ark.
"Look, our battleship is back!"
"Fantastic! The battleship returns in glory! Let’s celebrate!"
"Haha! I knew that under General’s leadership, we would inevitably rise to glory! This time, we’ve captured one Dawn Ark, but in the not-so-distant future, we’ll conquer more!"
"Absolutely right! Someday, we will dominate the seas and become the undisputed rulers! Everyone here will be heroes, will be elders!"
Seeing their battleship, the survivors on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark were filled with excitement. Some began to daydream about a future filled with limitless possibilities.
From a long time ago, the Blue Wolf and the Black Wolf had been preparing to conquer the Dawn Ark. For this reason, the two of them had repeatedly warned the survivors on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark not to leak any information. The consequences would be severe.
But that wasn’t enough.
The Blue Wolf and the Black Wolf had also imposed restrictions on the survivors, preventing them from speaking out to avoid any leaks. For this reason, almost every survivor on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark had made significant sacrifices.
Fortunately, the two of them had promised that if the expedition against the Dawn Ark succeeded, everyone would receive certain benefits. This was why the survivors on the Heavenly Dragon-class Noah’s Ark were so excited when they saw their battleship.
However, the actual situation might be something they couldn’t accept.
