Chapter 819: Chapter 656: First Battle, Finishing Blow?
Void creatures?
Michael placed high importance: "Normally, Void creatures faced with such a massive impact would instinctively flee, quickly ensure thorough surveillance! If there’s any threat, clear the area immediately."
Uriel couldn’t afford to be careless: "Understood!"
Soon, the surveillance footage was sent over. Although the distance was quite far and not very clear, the general outline was visible.
Uriel was slightly unsure: "Two... oarfish?"
Michael chuckled: "These are Void Winged Serpents, considered the weakest large creatures in the Void. Their sole speciality is flying incredibly fast, clearing them out is quite a challenge—"
At this point, Michael paused: "It seems a bit different from ordinary Void Winged Serpents?"
While observing closely, the Winged Serpent dodged behind a floating star body nearby, disappearing from sight.
Michael was puzzled: "Why aren’t these two Winged Serpents fleeing?"
Uriel dismissed it: "Being the weakest creatures in the Void, even if they are Boss-level, they’re not a big deal, I’ll head out!"
Michael said solemnly: "The naval port on the Golden Divine Throne is also deploying, indeed it’s the 009 Void Strike Ship Void Blade, this ship has a max speed of 130 knots, with its bow concentrating 70% firepower, 80% armor... the design philosophy is reconnaissance, impact, escape. In a battle against it, never turn the side of the ship for a duel with it, otherwise, you’ll get cut in half by it..."
"This ship just completed routine maintenance the day before yesterday, I’m betting it’s the first to deploy, intoxicated the maintenance workers, secretly replaced the parts of Boiler No. 3. So later when this Strike Ship attempts to turn and escape, the boiler will definitely explode, then you’ll certainly catch up. Once you do, the first thing is to blow up Boiler No. 3 to destroy the evidence..."
Uriel felt a bit nervous: "Understood..."
...
Though the late-night snack was exquisite, Chun wasn’t in the mood to savor it slowly, nor was he inclined to drink.
After eating, he resumed observing the battlefield.
At this point, the Queen’s distance was so close you could see the outlines of Hell City’s structures. Checking the evolution progress again, just less than twenty minutes of a meal had increased it by 4.7%!
Holy Shit, at this evolution rate, might level up after one night.
Better cherish and seize the moment. After all, such shocks aren’t common, could settle in a few hours! Chun felt the Queen was being overly cautious. But only here was there a meteor blocking the way, so getting closer would leave nothing to block!
While conflicted, Hell City launched a flying vessel resembling a sailboat, or a multi-winged Giant Whale.
Chun’s heart fluttered, it deployed!
—Dios Commerce Association Channel [Aimee]: Fleet battle! Never experienced this, so nervous, is it possible with just a dozen of us in the association?
What!?
Our association leading the charge? Just one ship to siege?
[Wine Angel]: Rest assured, our vice president is a Sage, even if we can’t beat them, we can escape.
[Olka]: You can all fly, but Medesia and I can’t fly, unable to escape.
[Shoe Angel]: Rest assured, if anything happens, I can carry two by piggyback! Let Old Wine carry both Grandmasters.
[Wine Angel]: No, I’ll carry the ladies, let Old Shoes carry the Grandmasters.
[Kasha]: Everyone, quiet. There’s a battlefield command channel, don’t speak in the association channel.
[Aimee]: Hmph! I don’t believe in any battlefield channel, they’re monitoring our conversations. Speaking in the association channel, might even let the president hear.
[Kasha]: Miss, be quiet ah ah.
...
Chun’s heart fluttered ah, this Aimee is beckoning me ah!
Should I follow? But if I do, wouldn’t it expose suspicions? Though maybe we’ve already been found, the opposition wouldn’t bother with two wild creatures ah?
Besides, Uriel’s also in formation, trust Uriel’s capability! If they get blown back, stepping in will be a must—but this thought suddenly felt extremely irresponsible to Chun!
After all, is there a possibility that Uriel plans to seize control, even thinking of taking out a few stakeholders this time? Though NPCs resurrect upon death, if it’s some campaign storyline mode, then a plot kill gets ridiculous!
Especially the five female mercenaries hold a low status, not top-tier in strength, yet happen to be original stakeholders, appearing quite the eyesore in the eyes of the Ten Lords?
Chun decided: "Queen, you and the child continue absorbing energy here, always remain alert on safety. I’ll head out for a moment, something happens, I’ll use Eye of the Storm to contact you."
The Queen was stunned: "But Master—"
Chun explained: "Because the people on this ship are my subordinates, I must monitor their safety."
The Queen spoke admiringly: "Okay Master, Master must also be cautious."
Chun suddenly chuckled. Her tone seemed to admire me for what? Having a shipful of subordinates, what face it brings, showing loyalty alongside me isn’t in vain?
In any case, now Chun could fly, flapping the small wings to follow. As for teleportation skill "Space Fire," dared not use, to avoid being discovered by high tech.
In result, after fluttering for ages, Chun realized this speed was despairingly slow, akin to riding a cow to chase a horse, swimming to chase a large ship, instantly the Hell Battleship left no trace.
—System prompt: You’ve diligently practiced flying, gaining insights into the Basic Flying Technique.
What?
Holy Shit! Just like running and swimming, there’s a flying technique ah! This skill can’t be shared with the main character. All good, consider it skill training.
In the midst of practicing, red light flickered ahead, engagement began!
Chun was anxious, increased speed to catch up!
...
Ten Lords Chat Group.
As the confrontation happened between two ships, combat initiated, atmosphere undeniably tense.
Because it was known in advance this was an impact-type Strike Ship, Uriel didn’t turn sideways for a duel, instead met it head-on with 20% bow firepower, a medieval knight’s charge standoff!
First face-off, both barely missed each other, Uriel’s warship suffered greatly, losing an entire side of sail wings.
Then both turned, prepared for a second face-off charge!
This was Uriel knowing the opponent’s combat preferences, willingly engaging via their favored battle mode, as in this scenario, the opposition absolutely wouldn’t flee, would want the first merit!
At this point, the mine Michael planted took effect, Void Strike Ship’s boiler exploded with a bang!
Situation instantly reversed!
Chat group erupted in cheer!!
Michael said excitedly: "Next is the boarding fight, after smashing Boiler No. 3, make sure to use our fewer manpower as a reason to retreat promptly to avoid angering the Empire!"
Uriel was thrilled: "Rest assured, I’ve already briefed everyone earlier, our purpose is merely probing..."
...
Anxiously, Chun rushed to the battlefield at full speed.
—System prompt: Congratulations! You’ve successfully comprehended Basic Flying Technique Level 1, achievement gained: Physical Strength +1, Load +1.
Great, the wing flapping became rhythmic, speed slightly improved.
Getting closer!
Suddenly realized it was the Hell Battleship returned, flames shimmering and askew, won? Lost?
Looking ahead, the Empire’s warship ablaze, visibly struggling to fly swiftly.
What is this?
This moment, Chun suddenly thought, why not finish them off? This S-level trial has stayed at Golden Divine Throne for so long, yet no achievements, now these are unearned merits just lying around!
