Chapter 1 Occupying the Island

On the Haichuan Island cluster, fully armed elite players were cleaning up the corpses of dead monsters. They had already occupied this massive island base.

Leading them was a man in uniform, wearing white gloves, with a katana at his waist. It was Zawa.

At this moment, a player walked up and saluted Zawa.

"Lord Zawa, we found a launchpad in the central area of the base, and inside it, we found a satellite rocket. After preliminary inspection, its integrity is very high. Give us some time, and we can repair it."

"Well done."

Zawa nodded with satisfaction.

"But..."

Suddenly, a hint of worry appeared on the face of the man reporting to him.

"If you have something to say, say it directly. There's no need to hesitate!"

"Yes, Lord Zawa. I'm just worried about those troublemakers. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. They've already gone to feed the fish in the sea."

Zawa said domineeringly, with boundless arrogance. His face was full of extreme confidence.

In fact, it was just as Zawa said!

As soon as the Vanguard-class battleship fleet entered the main battlefield, it launched its first wave of attacks, with missiles raining down from the sky.

In an instant, more than thirty ships were sunk or severely damaged. This powerful firepower was utterly despairing.

Furthermore, the ships targeted for attack were all those blocking the Helan. In an instant, the thoroughly protected Helan was directly exposed to the enemy's view.

Inside the Helan's control room, Chen Xijie reported in a panic, "The front-row ships have all been destroyed. We're exposed! They're coming for us."

"We're locked onto by their main guns!"

Zhang Wenjing shouted anxiously.

Qian Chengxue said in a deep voice directly on the communication channel, "Don't panic! Load the main guns, load all the missiles! We're not easy to bully either. Even if we die, we'll take one of them down with us."

"Yes!"

Zi Qing and the others replied with firm eyes.

They were preparing to make one last strike, to see if they could take out an enemy ship, because they only had one chance.

Because after the exchange, if there were no surprises, the Helan would probably cease to exist.

Inside the Chun Chao's command room, a woman in uniform, with arrogant eyes and a dismissive expression, was looking at the control screen.

The adjutant beside her respectfully reported, "Lord Yoko, the enemy has locked onto us, seemingly intending to perish together with us!"

"Just a dying struggle!"

Yoko's lips curled up slightly. She was in a very good mood because she had caught a big fish this time.

Just then, the gunner reported, "Lord Yoko, the main gun is fully charged."

Yoko raised her right hand and waved it decisively.

"Attack!"

The Chun Chao instantly fired a dazzling blue beam of light towards the Helan.

At this moment, inside the Helan's control room, Chen Xijie hysterically shouted at Zi Qing, "They're attacking!"

"Attack!"

Zi Qing punched the launch button without hesitation.

Zzzt! The Helan's main gun also fired a dazzling purple beam of light.

The two beams partially touched in mid-air and simultaneously deviated from their firing trajectories, landing in the ocean to the sides of the respective ships.

Boom~~

Towering waves surged up.

On the Helan, Zhang Wenjing reported, "The beam attack deviated. They both missed."

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Xijie said tremblingly, "Not good, another Vanguard-class ship is attacking us."

They saw the Takao firing missiles into the sky.

"Intercept!"

Zi Qing shouted, her voice somewhat hoarse.

"It's no use, there are too many!"

Zhang Wenjing had barely finished speaking.

One missile after another broke through the Helan's defensive network and landed directly on the hull.

Rumble~~

The huge explosion sent everyone in the control room flying!

When the explosion subsided, Zi Qing struggled to get up and asked, "Check the damage!"

"Report, the launch units are heavily damaged, the CIWS is damaged..."

Zhang Wenjing got up, looked at the red alert boxes popping up on the control screen, and reported.

"Our teeth have been removed!"

Chen Xijie said bitterly as she realized what was happening. In fact, she was right. If the Takao was willing, it could have completely crippled the Helan with a single wave of main gun attacks, instead of using missile attacks.

At this moment, a communication suddenly popped up.

Zhang Wenjing reported in a deep voice.

"The enemy has sent a communication request."

Everyone present fell silent for a moment.

"Answer it!"

Zi Qing couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

At this moment, Yoko connected the communication and said in fluent Z country language.

"Hello, this is Yoko. You should thank me. If I hadn't shown mercy, you would have already gone to feed the fish in the sea."

"What do you want?"

Zi Qing asked, biting her lip, her face tense.

"It's very simple, as long as you surrender, I can spare your lives!"

Yoko stated her conditions very simply. The Helan was, after all, a Vanguard-class ship, a top-tier weapon. It would be a pity to sink it just like that.

"Dream on, we will never surrender!"

Zi Qing and the others refused without even thinking about it.

"You have backbone, then it's a pity. I can only send you to feed the fish."

Yoko arrogantly cut off the communication.

Inside the Chun Chao's control room, Yoko issued the order without hesitation. Anything she couldn't obtain would be destroyed. Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to herself.

"Order the Takao to attack with its main guns and destroy the Helan!"

"Understood!"

......

After receiving Yoko's order, the Takao turned its main guns and relocked onto the Helan.

Inside the Helan's control room, Chen Xijie sighed and said, "We're locked on."

Everyone lowered their heads. It was over.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to resist, but there was no hope. All they could do was quietly await death.

However, just as the Takao launched its attack, a beam of light blasted over from a distance, instantly hitting the Takao's bow.

The huge explosion directly caused the Takao to deviate, and its main gun attack went wide.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Inside the Chun Chao's control room, Yoko asked in fury, "What's going on!"

A subordinate beside her stood up and reported urgently, "Reporting, Lord Yoko, we've scanned an unknown ship entering the battlefield from the side. The other party has sent a communication request to us. It seems to be a ship from the Tianlong Guild. Do we accept?"

"Hmph, a ship from the Tianlong Guild, interesting! Accept it!"

Yoko replied with a mocking smile on her lips.

Soon, the communication was connected, and a crisp female voice came through.

"Hello, this is Jiang Hanqiu, the vice-commander of the 34th Legion of the Tianlong Guild's Navy."

"I am Yoko, the commander of the 7th Naval Battle Legion of the Tianzhao Guild. Vice-Commander Jiang Hanqiu, what do you want from me? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Yoko, don't you think your behavior is a bit excessive? They're just a bit ignorant and accidentally trespassed. Is it really necessary to resort to such deadly measures? Isn't this just bullying the weak?"

Jiang Hanqiu said calmly. So many regular troops bullying a group of militia was really too much.

"If these bear children are ignorant, then I'll help you educate them!"

Yoko said sarcastically.

"Oh? And just who do you think you are? Since when did it become your place to discipline our people? The words I just said were only to give you some face, but you're really just like always, taking an inch and wanting a mile. You're asking for a beating."

Seeing that reasoning was useless, Jiang Hanqiu replied domineeringly.

"You!"

Yoko was instantly about to explode with anger!
