Chapter 923: Chapter 923 Collision

As the competition commenced, the number of spectators, who were there just for the excitement, kept growing.

Moreover, most of the attention was focused on the naval aspect; land battles had become quite common.

Particularly after the plane invasion wars with its tens of millions of troops that extended beyond sight, a fight involving mere millions was no longer astonishing.

But as the images from the sea were transmitted, everyone got excited.

This was the first naval battle since the old gods had opened the server, and with the start of the match, all the ships had set sail.

Only as the ships drew closer, and with the god-like perspective combined with the audience’s fog of war lifted, could they truly appreciate the charm of naval combat.

Countless small ships began to converge towards the coast, and skirmishes had already started as they advanced.

Many players then remembered the map of the ancient gods, which required ships to connect many of the lands, even between continents.

With highly developed maritime trade, some clever players realized that future naval battles could become a major highlight in the world of ancient gods, heralding the age of sea warfare.

When a few guilds appeared with their distinct ships, the viewers were even more thrilled.

In fact, many guilds engaged in maritime trade routes, their vessels being small transport ships, but these were equipped with a few small, light cannons.

Without discussing their power, they were certainly much stronger than the minimal support ships provided by the system.

Especially Starfire’s vessels, which were pure warships; even though there was only one medium-sized ship, it was still a warship.

With the appearance of Starfire’s warship, countless gazes immediately turned to Starfire, and many players had already begun mourning for the guilds nearby.

Everyone understood that in a one-on-one guild contest, no guild could stop Starfire’s pace.

Indeed, after ten minutes, the lookout on Starfire’s ship had spotted an approaching fleet.

The ships gifted by the system could only accommodate a little over a hundred people, slightly better than fishing boats.

With fifty ships per guild, the formation might look impressive, but such ships could only navigate near the coast and were not capable of crossing the ocean.

Unparalleled Beauty showed Li Yao two symbols and said, “Two guilds, one is a large African guild, not as powerful as a super guild, but still significant within the African administrative region, known as Africa Star. The other, judging by its symbol, should be a cosmic guild from the Three Koreas.”

Li Yao frowned and asked, “How are our relations with them?”

Unparalleled Beauty looked at Sister Li, who said, “We have no dealings with them, but the guy from the Three Koreas who beat Beauty last time belongs to that guild, and they were quite loud at that time. After the Chairman won the championship, this guild also badmouthed us in the forums.”

“Those who badmouth us are not few; we can’t settle scores with all of them, but this is a competition,” said Li Yao in a serious tone. “Since we have no relationship, let’s crush them.”

“What about the Africa Star then?” inquired Unparalleled Beauty.

“That depends on how long this so-called cosmic guild can hold out,” said Li Yao as he turned to the Guard Captain and said, “The target is set, the cosmic guild’s fleet. Exterminate them. You are in charge of command and coordination.”

“Acknowledged,” the Guard Captain saluted Li Yao, then commanded, “Turn ahead, the target is the cosmic guild’s fleet, the objective, total annihilation.”

In fact, battles among guilds were already underway, but those fights weren’t very fresh; they were mostly boarding actions. Even many couldn’t manage to conduct successful boarding, and numerous players ended up in the water.

Having not experienced the trials of the underwater version, some plate-armored players sank straight to the bottom.

In War Mode, if you do not have the combat resurrection skill, death means elimination.

The members of the Cosmos Guild’s faces changed when they saw Starfire’s fleet approaching, cursing their bad luck.

Indeed, Starfire’s fleet was half the size of theirs, but comparing their ships to Starfire’s was like comparing two entirely different concepts.

From a distance, someone from the other ship yelled out.

“Chairman Liaoyuan of the Starfire Guild, we have no quarrel with each other, so why must we clash in battle?”

Li Yao, standing on the deck, also said in the regional channel, “Five hundred guilds, but only one hundred can advance, I can only say sorry.”

The President of the Cosmos Guild turned pale, “Don’t do this, your guild’s fleet is so fast, certainly no one would dare to intercept you.”

Li Yao simply couldn’t be bothered to respond. This was a competition, and he wouldn’t be soft-hearted. He knew that if Starfire were in a weaker position, they certainly wouldn’t show any mercy to the Starfire Guild either.

“Damn it, Starfire Guild is going too far. We won’t be blamed for forming an alliance with others then,” exclaimed the President of the Cosmos Guild loudly. “Everyone prepare for battle, just hold on for a bit, our allies are all around us. As long as we hold back Starfire Guild, we are victorious.”

“That’s right; no matter how good their ships are, they can’t withstand greater numbers. When they’re defeated, we will seize the opportunity to take over their warships.”

The people of the Cosmos Guild finally regained some morale.

Li Yao revealed a slight smile and said, “Turn them into dust.”

The Guard Captain sneered, “Firing cannons would be too kind for them. Boss, since you’ve given me the command, just sit back and watch.”

Li Yao nodded and said, “Alright, then I shall enjoy the show.”

“Hold on tight to the railings in a while, as it will get very exciting,” said the Guard Captain as he loudly ordered, “Ramming preparations, full speed ahead, crush them.”

“Damn it! Are they seeking mutual destruction? These lunatics—stay away if you want to die, don’t involve us!” The people of the Cosmos Guild were going crazy, as they had never encountered someone who charged to ram their ships upon the first encounter. What the hell, aren’t your cannons for use?”

The audience was also flabbergasted. What in the world were they doing? Even if your ships are larger, ramming could also lead to sinking, right?

Was the commander of Starfire’s fleet a fool? That was the idea that crossed everyone’s mind.

However, the speed of the warships wasn’t something those smaller ships could compare with. The Cosmos Guild didn’t care anymore and turned to face off with Starfire, thinking that since they had more ships than Starfire, they could manage to fight them to the death.

But as they drew closer, the Guard Captain continued to command, “Activate all Defense Arrays.”

Following the Guard Captain’s command, all the ships of Starfire raised a semi-transparent protective cover.

The people of the Cosmos Guild no longer had time for regrets; the speed was too fast.

Starfire’s warships were several times larger than their ships, especially Li Yao’s flagship, which was indescribably larger.

The two fleets collided, accompanied by a thunderous boom.

Li Yao only felt the ship shake, followed by the crushing of the ships below into two halves.

Suddenly, the sea was filled with the heavy sound of impact, followed by the screams of agony and cursing voices from numerous players.

Starfire’s fleet plowed through the Cosmos Guild’s fleet, and as the fleet turned back, the scene revealed only about a dozen ships left out of the original fifty from the Cosmos Guild…
