Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Speculations on the Military Merit List

The audience was shocked, mouths agape, as the sea was in complete disarray.

The spot where the universe guild’s fleet had once been was now a horrific sight, with the wreckage of ships rapidly sinking.

Some players were on the debris, others in the water.

Many close-combat participants screamed as they sank beneath the waves. During the collision, Starfire had only used a bit of the magic shield’s energy, leaving no one injured, while the universe guild was severely crippled.

Seeing this, the African Star guild, which had originally planned to attack Starfire from both sides, was utterly dumbfounded and immediately ordered their fleet to turn around.

“Disperse the fleet formation, annihilate them all,” commanded the guard officer.

The turning fleet made contact with the universe guild once again.

But the guild, now reduced to a dozen ships, had no heart to fight anymore, as they wanted to escape, yet many of the remaining ships were damaged and leaking.

They had summoned too few NPCs, relying solely on players for control, clueless about how to respond quickly to the situation.

Unparalleled Beauty loudly ordered on the deck, “Prepare the crossbows, ready the hook locks.”

“Fire!”

At the command, crossbow arrows and arrows struck the universe guild’s ships.

The fact was that the universe guild’s ships were still structurally intact. Even if it was a losing fight, they could have held out longer.

But the impact they had just endured was too shocking, adding to many ships taking on water and leaking, they had no spirit left to continue fighting.

Starfire players on the deck could no longer hold back, those with long-range attacks targeted players on the opposing ships while close-range spell casters punished those floundering in the water, clearing the players who had fallen into the sea.

The audience had expected to see an exciting exchange of fire, but the situation had quickly turned. However, the initial ramming and crushing had been incredibly thrilling.

Soon, under the assault from Starfire, other players from the universe guild started jumping off their ships.

It wasn’t that they weren’t desperate; they simply had no idea how to continue the fight.

Under the orders of the universe guild’s president, many with teleportation abilities and wings began attempting to take over Starfire’s ships.

But Starfire was well-prepared and, given their limited numbers, this small-scale assault was ineffective.

Ultimately only two players died in battle and were revived by a Druid’s battle revival. It was as if no loss had occurred.

The guard officer reported, “The enemy fleet has been annihilated, and we have captured eight intact micro-transport ships.”

Li Yao asked, “Can these transport ships keep up with the speed of our fleet?”

The guard officer shook his head, “That’s impossible.”

Li Yao nodded, “I intended to capture and keep them, but it seems that’s not feasible. Relay my orders, fire the artillery shells and sink them.”

“That would be a waste of ammunition,” the guard officer frowned.

“No matter, I am certain,” Li Yao firmly stated. Now was not the time to worry about ammunition, especially since Li Yao had realized, after annihilating the enemy fleet, Starfire had earned an enormous amount of military merits.

Although the African Star had fled, Li Yao hadn’t planned to pursue.

But seeing the military merit rankings, Li Yao always felt that the ancient gods wouldn’t have introduced these rankings to the competition without a deeper meaning.

So Li Yao decisively didn’t want to waste time or slow down the speed of the fleet by dragging these ships along.

Only a few warships fired, and the rest of the intact ships began to sink.

The players of the Universal Guild who scattered and fled to the distance were on the verge of tears. Although they were still alive and the System had not eliminated them, they were practically no different from those who had been eliminated.

Without a ship, swimming to shore was basically impossible, as the seas of this world were not as comparatively calm as those in reality.

Here, there were not only ordinary large carnivorous fish, but also various sea monsters and marine intelligent creatures.

The remaining players of the Universal Guild could only watch helplessly as Starfire’s fleet moved away.

On the tournament’s merit leaderboard, Starfire’s score suddenly soared to first place, with the merit being the complete annihilation of a fleet.

In less than ten minutes, Starfire’s merit soared again, this time for the complete annihilation of two fleets.

The Star of Africa’s escape could not be called indecisive, but the problem was, their speed was no match for Starfire’s fleet.

They were caught up by Starfire within a few minutes and were forced to engage in battle, but the outcome was no different from that of the Universal Guild.

The fleets in the distance had already seen this situation and kept far away from Starfire’s fleet, with no intention of engaging with Starfire at all.

It’s not that they were cowardly, but they were very clear that a single fleet challenging the Starfire fleet was basically impossible, and they didn’t even qualify to entangle.

However, Li Yao, realizing the significance of the merits, did not want to proceed peacefully and discussed the matter on the core channel with the elders.

He felt that the process was not that simple, and if it was just about speed, there would be no need to establish a merit leaderboard at all.

In fact, if Starfire wished, they could now advance at full speed and ensure they were the first to advance, but they believed it wouldn’t be that simple.

So Starfire changed their strategy and began to actively hunt down fleets.

Along the way, Starfire annihilated twelve fleets, most of which were not allied and many were already damaged, evidently having also experienced major battles before.

Meanwhile, the guild ranked second had only destroyed four fleets, leaving other guilds in the competition completely baffled, as except for the fleet channel, they basically couldn’t send out any messages, since the ancient gods had activated information filtering.

“Where are you guys? If we can’t meet up, we’ll be wiped out,” Fleeting Beauty said.

Li Yao was startled and said, “What’s the situation?”

“Most of the alliance has already met up. We’ve encountered two allies on our side, but we’ve run into some tough ones and are currently fleeing,” Fleeting Beauty explained.

“Send your coordinates,” Li Yao said, realizing that although Starfire’s fleet was formidable, they couldn’t withstand the numbers of the adversaries.

Now, having covered almost half of the distance, the fleets were more densely packed. If not for Starfire’s outstanding battle achievements, the combined fleets wouldn’t have been reluctant to pay a heavy price, and Starfire would have been attacked long ago.

Soon after, Li Yao received the coordinates, and he gave them to the guard officer, saying, “Head to these coordinates.”

“All units, thirty degrees to the left,” the guard officer glanced and said, “We’ll arrive in no more than ten minutes.”

In fact, it wasn’t even ten minutes before Li Yao saw the major battle in the distance.

Many fleets had kept far away from this area, and the situation now seemed to be a three-way melee.

Warships of various banners were tangled together, but the weaker side was indeed Fleeting Beauty’s allied fleet.

It wasn’t that the opposing side had many more ships than those from the Qionghua Guild; it’s that the two fleets both possessed special means that kept the Qionghua Fleet overwhelmed.

Moreover, the other two allied fleets were clearly not on good terms either and were also fighting each other, which was why the Qionghua side, although at a disadvantage, hadn’t collapsed…
