Chapter 669: Naval Battle (Part 2)
Aside from the Huaxia District, other servers do not lack strategy gods and research parties either.
Soon, the origin of the powerful warships and battle tactics used by Huaxia District players was uncovered.
It turns out these powerful warships were specifically built by the Lord of the region where Huaxia District players reside, the Floating City Controller, Lis Kain, for the purpose of hunting pirates and conducting naval combat.
These warships are not only larger than the average ship, but also agile with the help of Magic, and their defense is quite high. Plus, equipped with giant cannons, they're walking fortresses in the Blue Sea Mini World.
Additionally, in order to trace the pirate ships, the warships are equipped with magical devices to detect nearby ships.
Simply put, their effect is akin to radar.
So any player ships that come near are bound to be caught by Huaxia District players.
Moreover, Huaxia District players are not new to steering these mighty warships.
At Danerluo Port, even before Lis achieved Legend status, a long-term mission to eradicate pirates was listed, offering quite lucrative rewards.
This made it the most cost-effective mission for the players, thus attracting many participants.
The warships used in the mission are the same warships they now control, making it easy for players to master them.
Under this premise, Huaxi District players hold an absolute advantage over players from other servers.
After all, players from other continents do not possess the resources Huaxia District players have; their ships are bought from the native people in the Blue Sea Mini World.
Most are old merchant ships, or even a few small fishing boats.
How could they compare with the warships of Huaxia District?
The players from other servers are somewhat agitated, accusing Huaxia District of relying on the backing of Extraordinary forces to gain a huge advantage.
Simultaneously, they began searching for names related to the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, Lis Kain, and others.
The generous benefits provided by the White Dove Chamber of Commerce and Kane Floating City to players have shocked them anew.
The unique products of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, Skill Learning store, Kane Floating City's special buffs...
As they understand more, envy and jealousy naturally follow.
Since the game has no national boundaries, with the World Server open, perhaps they could join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce next time and enjoy these benefits too.
Faced with this situation, Huaxia District players naturally refuse to back down. They might not be adept at armed conflict, but they are certainly formidable at verbal battles!
Thus, Huaxia District players immediately jumped into player forums for other servers, directly countering in foreign languages for those who are fluent, while patriotic players showed Hua Xia spirit through translation tools.
In no time, the entire player forum was filled with fierce debates.
Through this unique "war," the names of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, Kane Floating City, and Lis Kain became well-known among players from other servers.
Of course, the fierce debates on player forums weren't affecting the game, including the contest over Rad Island in the Blue Sea Mini World.
...
Rad Island,
"What's the current situation?"
Han Xing entered the makeshift command post and asked aloud.
He had just disembarked from the warship, patrolling the seas surrounding Rad Island without finding anything unusual.
Other than a few scattered small boats, there had been no other results.
This was very odd!
Have players from other servers given up resisting?
How could it be!
Han Xing found the situation peculiar and returned to the island to inquire.
Seeing Han Xing come in, many in the command post acknowledged him.
Those present were basically players from various professional teams or specialized game management, naturally familiar with Han Xing.
"We just received intelligence; those people have united."
Team captain of the Dragon Soul team, Dragon Walks the World pointed to a sea chart about twenty kilometers from Rad Island and said solemnly:
"Their ships are currently anchored there; over a hundred, and the number is still increasing!"
"So many people? Have all the servers united together?"
Han Xing was a bit surprised.
According to the Rad Island occupation rules, they need to construct a fortress on the island, hold it for three days to achieve final victory.
This strengthens Rad Island's defenses, but also gives time for players from other servers to concentrate their forces to come.
"That's about right."
Zhao Zhao looked at the sea chart, shook his head and said:
"Originally, those Faguo teams were helping us, but seeing this, they surrendered and switched camps."
"When contacted, they advised us to give up, seemingly very confident."
"As expected, we didn't rely on those people anyway."
Han Xing looked at the sea chart, then at the images sent back by spies, frowned and said:
"So what do we do now, just wait here?"
"If they gather everyone, winning will be troublesome!"
Han Xing knew their warships are powerful but not invincible.
If faced with overwhelming numbers, even their warships could be in danger.
If they could engage in prolonged combat, drawing out confrontations, their warships would have a huge advantage, capable of eliminating enemies one by one.
But Han Xing knew, the opponent's goal is not to win the naval battle but to capture Rad Island.
No time for drawn-out battles.
If not killed, they will storm the island!
Unable to stop them, letting them onto Rad Island would be the biggest loss for Huaxia District.
Even if the warship is strong, it can't sink that many ships in a short time.
Better to attack them early, eliminating them while their numbers are still insufficient.
"It's impossible; the opponent is smart, choosing a place in the bay between two islands."
According to intelligence, they placed cannons at the island's highest point, making it more dangerous to approach recklessly.
Zhao Zhao shook his head, naturally having considered Han Xing's idea, but had to give it up.
As long as the warships remain, they hold the greatest advantage in the Blue Sea Mini World.
But if the warships are sunk by cannons, they have nowhere to resupply.
These ten or so warships have drained the entire savings of several top Huaxia District teams, acquiring them from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.
The price far exceeds that of typical ships, and aside from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, there's nowhere else to buy them.
Thus, Lis gained their savings, accumulated bit by bit following the White Dove Chamber of Commerce and Kane Floating City commissions.
Now all returned.
But it was worth it!
Ultimately for them, extra world contest slots remain in Huaxia District, making them most likely to win, worth the cost.
And due to this limitation, increasing manpower quickly is impossible.
"No need to think further; prepare for the showdown."
Seeing everyone present, Captain of the Stir-fried Meat team, Stir-fried Beef, stood up with a serious look and said.
...
Sea regions surrounding Rad Island,
In the boundless depths of the ocean, a earth-shattering naval showdown is slowly unfolding.
The sea is no longer the peaceful azure of the past, but a dark forest of sails, densely packed masts piercing the sky as if a steel storm is about to sweep.
These ships come from all corners of the globe, differing in style, but unified in purpose — Rad Island.
Sunlight filters through cracks in the clouds, casting mottled shadows on the decks, interwoven with busy figures creating a heroic tableau.
The ships vary in size and form; from nimble fishing boats to imposing warships, each carrying excited players.
Even players known for antics found themselves silent at the moment.
Opposite this colossal fleet, a line-up of a dozen massive warships stand like an unyielding sea wall.
These ships are all-black, their hulls embedded with copper nails glinting with metallic sheen under the sun.
At the forefront of each warship, enormous bronze cannons stand tall, their barrels deep and black, exuding an intimidating pressure.
