Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 216 - 216 216 Action

216: Chapter 216: Action 216: Chapter 216: Action Su Mo and Lin Zinuo exchanged glances.

Then they directly opened the door and stepped out, heading towards different machine rooms.

Inside the whole building, numerous employees were bustling as usual, many of them still talking and laughing.

However, upon closer observation, it could be noticed that some people who had been chatting and laughing with colleagues suddenly found various excuses to leave the crowd and head towards the machine rooms.

Elsewhere, Su Mo logged into Star Ring and glanced at the hangar; he noticed that the Black Steel Envoy wasn’t there, presumably taken away by Qin Wang for system maintenance.

Su Mo then walked out of the hangar.

It was deep into the night in the Star Ring World, and the camp appeared rather deserted and quiet.

He walked towards the port belonging to the Legion.

A moment later, when he arrived at the port, he discovered that specialized personnel had already dispersed all unrelated individuals.

As Su Mo approached, the guard on duty glanced at him, pretended as if nothing was amiss, stepped aside, and let him pass without uttering a single word.

After entering the port area, Su Mo found it crowded with many familiar faces—Sun Li, Zi Qing, Zhou Qian, and others were all there.

Moreover, The Crane Orchid was docked at the shore; its hull, once riddled with holes, was now restored to its original condition.

Furthermore, all the damaged weapons and ammunition had been repaired and replenished, all thanks to the massive financial and material support that Ye Tian had provided to the Tenth Legion.

Su Mo walked over and stood next to Zhou Qian.

No one in the gathering spoke; each person wore a serious expression.

At that moment, Qian Chengxue approached from a distance.

She walked directly in front of everyone and sternly began to speak.

“Thank you all for your cooperation.

I am here to announce the assembly of all elite naval personnel.

The Crane Orchid is about to set out once again, targeting the Heavenly Light Guild’s pioneer area—Hai Chuan Islands!”

Upon hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, an intensely excited look appeared on everyone’s faces.

Of course, except for Su Mo, who was now even more baffled.

He quietly asked Zhou Qian,

“What’s going on?”

“Didn’t you check the forums?

Someone leaked that the Heavenly Light Guild players are attacking the Hai Chuan Islands.

Rumor has it there’s a satellite launch installation up there.

Now the forums are filled with players volunteering to go and sort them out.

Unexpectedly, we’re going too!”

Zhou Qian said excitedly.

“This…

Logically, shouldn’t this be something for the Sky Dragon Guild to handle?”

“I’m not sure about that.

The Sky Dragon Guild has always been very discreet in its actions, keeping all operations classified.

They wouldn’t blab around.

But it doesn’t matter, we don’t need the Sky Dragon Guild to step in; we can handle it ourselves.”

Zhou Qian exuded confidence.

After all, why use a heavy cleaver to kill a chicken?

That would just be a waste, wouldn’t it?

Qian Chengxue swept an icy and resolute gaze over everyone present and said to the crowd, “There’s a saying, it is impolite not to reciprocate.

The Heavenly Light Guild sent us such a generous gift before, how could we not return the favor?

The goal this time is simple: either seize the satellite or destroy it, returning to them what they did to us, in kind!”

“Long live Legion Leader Cheng Xue!”

“Overthrow them!”

“Overthrow them!”

…

The players present were nearly all boiling with fervor.

“Good, I hereby declare the commencement of Operation Dawn!

Everyone on board, I will allocate all weapons, equipment, and supplies you need.

To ensure the absolute secrecy of the operation and prevent the enemy from detecting us, starting now, no one is allowed to log off without permission, nor use any communication devices.”

“Understood!”

…

The crowd responded with enthusiastic assent, albeit silently.

Su Mo and the others boarded the ship, and the first thing he saw was his Black Steel Envoy, quietly situated at its parking spot.

The entire mecha was maintained so well that it looked like new, confirming to him that Qian Chengxue hadn’t made a rash decision in the spur of the moment, but rather, it was well-considered.

As Su Mo pondered, The Crane Orchid made its move, silently slipping out of the harbor under the cover of night.

At that moment, Zhang Wenjing approached Su Mo and said, “Su Mo, the Legion Leader has asked you to go to the control room for a high-level tactical meeting.”

“Okay.”

Although slightly surprised, Su Mo did not say much else.

Soon, he arrived at the control room, where Sun Li, Zi Qing, Lin Zinuo, Chen Xijie, and all the other high-ranking members involved in the battle were present.

Qian Chengxue greeted everyone and said, “I’ve called you all here to discuss the battle plan.

Let me first fill you in on the current situation.”

As she spoke, Qian Chengxue spread a nautical chart on the ground, and Su Mo and the others gathered around it.

“The Hai Chuan Archipelago is located to the east of Sea Breeze Island, and in a sense, it’s even closer to the main base of the Heavenly Light Guild.

The archipelago consists of three small islands and one large one, with the satellite launch facility on the central island.

According to information from our insider, the Heavenly Light Guild has already captured the three outer islands and is fiercely attacking the central island.

They will likely take it over soon!

After that, they will probably force the launch.

Reliable sources indicate that the satellite launch facility on that island is very intact, so we don’t have much time left, I estimate we can only take the direct route.”

Qian Chengxue gave a rough explanation.

Though it would have been fine if the other side stopped at the last second since everyone was fighting for the continuation of civilization, they went through with their plans in the end, which was far too excessive.

No matter the reason, they had to get even.

“Is the Heavenly Light Guild aware that we are coming for revenge?”

Su Mo suddenly asked.

“To be exact, they know that a large number of players will volunteer to intercept them, but they are not aware that we are joining in!”

“Are there any other large forces joining us?”

Su Mo asked next.

Typically, he wasn’t keen on getting involved with planning battle strategies, but this time it was different; Qian Chengxue was doing exactly what he wanted to do.

“To my knowledge, both the Blazing Flame Guild and the Senye Guild have dispatched their main battle fleets to join in as well,” Qian Chengxue replied seriously to Su Mo.

Chen Xijie excitedly asked, “Sister Xue, is Zhang Ru leading the Blazing Flame Guild’s team?”

“Not sure, but I don’t think so, as Zhang Ru’s fleet hasn’t recovered yet,” Qian Chengxue replied indifferently.

Su Mo let out a long breath and said with a grave expression, “It’s not going to be easy.

I have a feeling that the Heavenly Light Guild won’t let us through easily; their troops will definitely try to block us.

Even if we do get through, it will be difficult to disrupt their plans, as they will undoubtedly have set up defense mechanisms on the occupied outer islands.

Worse comes to worst, we might have to invade the islands to carry out our sabotage.”

“I feel the same way.”

Qian Chengxue said, agreeing with him.

“Let’s do this, we move slower and deviate slightly off the direct course.

That way, we’re less likely to be ambushed by enemies from the Heavenly Light Guild—they are rather sneaky.

And most importantly, they’re professionals, and we’re amateurs.

We shouldn’t let our amateurs challenge their professionals.

I don’t say this to boost their morale or to undermine ourselves.

Being cautious is never a mistake.”

Su Mo made his suggestion.

“Wouldn’t that make us too late?”

Lin Zinuo asked with some concern.

After pondering for a moment, Zi Qing said, “I think Su Mo has a point.

As for Zinuo’s concern about being too late, it’s not something we need to worry too much about.

The Crane Orchid is faster than the average vessel, so a slight deviation from the course shouldn’t be an issue.”

“Then that’s what we’ll do.”

Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
