Chapter 227 - Opportunity
Chapter 227 of "Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'" begins revealing exciting developments: Qian Chengxue and Su Mo, among others, didn’t know what to say, their heads buzzing.“To... Don’t stop now!
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo, among others, didn’t know what to say, their heads buzzing.
“To express our gratitude, Miss Qian Chengxue, you may accompany The Crane Orchid to the Hai Chuan Archipelago and witness the final outcome,”
Jiang Hanqiu extended the invitation solemnly to Qian Chengxue because she wanted her to see for herself the end of the war as a token of thanks for their patriotic sentiments.
“I am honored!
Just, I have one question that I find particularly baffling.”
Qian Chengxue replied candidly.
“Feel free to ask, as long as it doesn’t involve confidential matters, I’d be happy to answer your questions,”
Jiang Hanqiu was very personable, without the slightest hint of arrogance.
“Why can’t the Heavenly Light Guild develop peacefully with us?
Shouldn’t we all be united?”
Qian Chengxue voiced the confusion that had long troubled her mind.
Su Mo was all ears at that time, listening intently!
He was also quite curious about the question.
In fact, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Light Guild that caused trouble, but also the players from country M, as he had experienced firsthand.
Jiang Hanqiu was taken aback as well, then sighed deeply and said seriously, “Technically, I shouldn’t be discussing these matters with you, but I trust in Commander Xiao Wen’s judgement, so I’ll give you a little insight.
The reason we’re fighting so fiercely is because the Star Ring’s rules haven’t been announced yet.
No one wants to let their opponents flourish, so we’re always holding each other back.
The rule for the first phase of the last Star Ring was that we had to decide on one guild or a single player to emerge as the victor to receive the first round’s rewards.
That means, anyone outside our own group is an enemy.”
“I see, when will the rules be announced?”
Upon hearing the answer, Qian Chengxue’s confusion cleared away like mist.
Jiang Hanqiu lifted her bracelet and glanced at it—the progress bar for a one-dimensional civilization: 49.9%!
“Soon.
You can look at your bracelets, the Star Ring will probably announce the first round of rules once the progress bar for a one-dimensional civilization reaches fifty percent.
After the one-dimensional civilization ends, the Star Ring will officially begin, and I can’t reveal too much about other matters.”
“Thank you for your explanation, Lord Jiang Hanqiu.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in thanks.
“It’s nothing.
The time is almost right, the enemy fleet should all have been annihilated by now, we can set off.”
Jiang Hanqiu replied in an excellent mood.
“Alright!”
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
In the Hai Chuan Archipelago, players from Heavenly Light Guild were orderly and efficiently rebuilding the defense system structure in every corner of the islands.
Their spirits were high, and they constantly chanted slogans.
“Reinforcements!
Reinforcements!”
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded from the multi-functional radar watchtowers on guard over the islands.
The Heavenly Light Guild players, who had been working ardently, stopped and looked at each other in confusion.
At that moment, a player pointed in horror towards the distant sky.
“Enemy attack!”
Everyone looked up to see a mass of black dots that were fighter planes flying toward them.
Instantly, the Heavenly Light Guild players dropped what they were working on and rushed toward the nearby defense facilities, desperately seeking to hide and retaliate.
Then, all the anti-aircraft weapons on the island opened up, be they interception missiles or anti-aircraft guns.
Unfortunately, in the face of overwhelming power, such defenses were incredibly feeble.
The fighter planes, dense like locusts, did not hesitate to unload bomb after bomb and missiles as soon as they came within range.
The three outer islands of Hai Chuan’s center were instantly bombarded relentlessly.
All the hills and lands were bombed over and over again.
When The Crane Orchid arrived alone following the fleet of the Sky Dragon Guild to the outskirts of the Hai Chuan archipelago, Su Mo and others in the control room, seeing the scene before them, couldn’t help but get their blood boiling with excitement—it was simply too exhilarating.
The three outer islands had been turned into ruins, and it was highly unlikely that any players could survive.
Inside the control room of the Tidal Wave, a deputy was reporting to Jiang Hanqiu.
“Sir, the three outer islands of Hai Chuan have been completely leveled, leaving only the central main island.
All bombers and ships are on standby, surrounding it tightly; with just one order from you, we could completely erase it!”
“Not so fast, send them a communication, try to contact their upper echelon.”
Jiang Hanqiu replied indifferently.
“Understood!”
The deputy on site responded respectfully.
A short while later, after some hard work by the communication officer and some negotiations with the other party’s communication personnel, they successfully established contact with their high-level officials.
Then, a deep voice echoed in the communication channel.
“Who are you?”
“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Jiang Hanqiu, a minor group leader under the Sky Dragon Guild.
We have your location completely surrounded.
As you must have heard, your naval fleet has been sent to feed the fishes.
I know you have a satellite rocket on the island.
If you are willing to surrender and hand over the satellite rocket, I’m willing to give your remaining people a chance to live.”
Jiang Hanqiu stated flatly.
“Ha!
You’re underestimating us; we would never give it to you.
If you have the ability, then come and take it from the island!”
The man on the communicator retorted with sheer arrogance.
“Then there’s nothing more to discuss.”
Jiang Hanqiu immediately cut off the communication.
The many subordinates beside her pleaded, “Deputy Legion Commander, let us go to the island.
Let’s give it a shot and seize that rocket satellite.”
“No need, they won’t give us the opportunity, this is reality, not a movie, they won’t be that stupid.”
“Please reconsider, Sir!”
“No more discussion, my mind is made up!
Order all ships and fighters to level the central island, and let them have a taste of our warm welcome!”
Jiang Hanqiu issued the order undoubtedly.
“Yes, Sir!”
Despite some reluctance, everyone still complied.
Deep within the underground base on Hai Chuan Island, groups of mecha gathered together, led by a heavy mecha.
Inside the cockpit of the heavy mecha, Ze Mu cut off the communication, his expression intensely grim.
He had a strong hunch that this woman named Jiang Hanqiu was very hard to deal with.
The traps he set up near the satellite rocket base were probably useless.
The enemy most likely wouldn’t send anyone up to their doom.
It was such a pity; he had even gone to the length of destroying the satellite inside the rocket, replacing it with a powerful bomb.
Ze Mu now had to face the worst outcome.
Thus he piloted a heavy mecha to crouch down, while speaking to his subordinates around him, “Begin!”
The seven Green Shield Mecha immediately assembled tightly around Ze Mu’s mecha, and they controlled their mecha to press each other’s shoulders, using themselves as shields.
Their purpose was very clear—to ensure that Ze Mu could survive the bombardment, and if worst came to worst, having so many mecha die together would make searching for their bodies easier afterward.
“I am proud of you!
Thank you for fighting alongside me!”
Ze Mu said solemnly to his numerous subordinates.
