Chapter 930 -930: Annihilation

As the canvas was lifted, the Starfire players from the lifestyle professions began testing angles, followed by Starfire players adjusting according to their demands.

The audience noticed that these openings were arranged in several rows, each containing dozens of them.

In the midst of their curious gaze, groups of Starfire players appeared, carrying bundles of objects resembling giant steel arrows, each longer than a yard.

Then two people worked together to perfectly place these bundles onto the racks set up along the gunwales at regular intervals.

“Let them taste the might of the Hundred-Hunt Crossbow,” she commanded.

With Feng Yi’s order, the Starfire players wielding torches excitedly ignited the tails of those arrow-like objects.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…

Immediately after, countless plumes of white smoke rose, followed by the fire-tipped arrows shooting towards the sky, then tracing a beautiful arc as they fell.

Boom, rumble…

In an instant, tens of thousands of these flaming arrows flew out, creating a spectacle that truly shook the hearts of onlookers.

Then an even more heart-shaking scene unfolded; as the arrows fell, they erupted in violent explosions.

Although the explosions were not as destructive as cannon fire to break ships apart, the shockwave-like spread cut down players on deck like mowing down wheat, soon igniting the entire deck with raging flames.

Tens of thousands of sky-piercing arrows suddenly blanketed the ships encircling Starfire’s United Fleet, instantly igniting them in a blaze of fire.

Then countless white lights shot up to the heavens, as at that moment, numerous souls rose up with dazed expressions on their faces.

At that moment, the whole battlefield seemed to fall into silence, and the spectators were stunned into speechlessness.

The players from other guilds who were only a step away from the sea of fire were incredibly terrified, their spirits greatly shaken.

Countless players were instantaneously killed, and many ships burst into fierce flames.

The few lucky survivors had to jump from their ships to stay alive.

Meanwhile, the audience was still immersed in the shock of the recent scenes, unable to extricate themselves; only at that moment did they truly experience the war of fantasy, and then countless people’s blood was boiling, flooding the live broadcast with endless streams of “6666666666666666.”

The battle that had been locked in a stalemate turned abruptly quiet, and now what they most wanted to know was just what that terrifying weapon was.

It was too frightening, such a devastating attack in just one round.

The players on the battlefield wouldn’t get an answer, as Li Yao wouldn’t tell them, nor would the commentators who were asking Feng Yi the same question, just as Unparalleled Beauty was asking Li Yao.

Players from other guilds, aside from feeling envy and resentment, were also asking about the situation.

Since the trump card had been revealed, there was no need to hide it any longer.

Feng Yi explained, “This is Starfire’s special trump card, created by a craftsman who acquired a rare blueprint and then made this weapon. We call it the Hundred-Hunt Crossbow. There’s not much to say about the bracket, the Arrow Shaft is actually similar to a rocket, flying into the sky by the propulsion of gunpowder, while the arrowhead is divided into two layers; the outer layer is gunpowder mixed with Fire Element powder, and the inner layer contains flammable oil developed by a special formula. As you’ve seen, the effect is quite satisfying.”

Then the game officials simply tallied up the cost of these sky-piercing arrows which was higher than the usual Steel Arrows; releasing so many at once must have cost a fortune.

The costs of Magic Shields, Artillery Shells, and now these sky-piercing arrows; Starfire probably can’t even begin to calculate how much money this battle is draining.

Of course, there’s no helping it. If Starfire didn’t have these trump cards, facing the siege of so many guilds, it would likely be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of enemies after just one round of attacks.

“Now all I can say about your Starfire is that you folks are wealthy; I don’t even know how else to describe it.” Feng Yi, having just listened to Li Yao’s explanation, let out a bitter laugh and sighed, “Honestly, how many more secrets have you yet to reveal? Tell me, I can take it.”

Li Yao smiled and said, “Secrets? Of course, there are more. But whether or not I get to reveal them depends on these scoundrels’ tricks.”

Feng Yi was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, “Really? You still have secrets up your sleeve?”

She was only joking earlier— with the combination of warships and cannons plus such terrifying weapons, they were already defying the heavens. She was merely jesting and hadn’t expected Li Yao to seriously claim there were more secrets.

Li Yao nodded and said, “Think about it—at this stage, warships aren’t something you can just buy with money. Honestly, if these warships were to be destroyed, I’d have nowhere to cry. So, ensuring these warships’ safety is a must.”

The rules of this competition are clear—using your camp’s ships is one thing, but for anything else, you bear the full brunt of your losses. If you really get eliminated, not only do you miss out on a new port, but your warships are done for as well.

Such a loss and blow would be tremendous for Starfire, possibly even hindering its future development.

Therefore, Li Yao couldn’t afford to lose this battle. To preserve the warships, Li Yao had indeed prepared many contingencies.

Sharing this with Feng Yi and the other guild leaders wasn’t about boosting their morale, but stating a fact.

However, with the recent outburst, the United Army’s fleet, which had been somewhat demoralized, instantly saw their morale skyrocket, especially those from other guilds who had already almost given up on being besieged.

Fighting on was just a matter of not willingly giving up, wanting to take a few others down with them. But now they saw a renewed hope for victory.

“Now’s not the time to celebrate; nobody relax, keep fighting,”

Unparalleled and the defenders continued to stabilize the troops, and the battle raged on.

The recent explosion had thoroughly deterred the United Army, and their offensive had become sluggish.

The outburst had completely wiped out players from two guilds, eliminating them from the competition.

Now, no one dared to send their guilds’ ships directly into the fray. After a discussion, each guild agreed to send an equal number of ships to surround and attack Starfire.

This approach was accepted by the United Fleet before they launched a new offensive.

Furthermore, they changed their strategy, after negotiation, they began to mobilize their elite forces, aiming to occupy and break through one warship after another.

“This won’t do, with their elite forces concentrated, the pressure on us is too great,” said Unparalleled, her expression grim.

The enemy knew well that Medium Warships were tough nuts to crack, so they turned their focus to the smaller warships.

“Deploy our reserve forces to support as well,” Li Yao thought for a moment and then said, “It seems I also need to take action. If they’ve decided on that strategy, then I’ll go for a decapitation approach. Let’s see who gives up first.”

There are two ways to knock a guild out of the competition: one is to eliminate the majority of their ships, effectively dropping them out of the rankings and rendering them incapacitated.

The other is to destroy the command ship, which would also leave them in a crippled state, and their ranking—when it comes to the hundreds—would plummet…
