Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 224 - 224 224 Mutation

224: Chapter 224: Mutation 224: Chapter 224: Mutation Hai Chuan Island Group, numerous fully-armed elite players were clearing the corpses of the dead Monsters, having at this point occupied this immense island base.

Leading them was a man in uniform, wearing white gloves, and with a samurai sword fastened to his waist—Ze Mu.

At that moment, a player walked up and saluted Ze Mu.

“Lord Ze Mu, we found a launch well in the central area of the base, and inside we discovered a satellite rocket.

After preliminary inspection, we concluded it’s largely intact.

Give us some time, and we can repair it.”

“Well done.”

Ze Mu nodded in satisfaction.

“But….”

Suddenly, concern showed on the face of the man reporting to him.

“If there’s something you want to say, just say it out loud, no need to hold back!”

“It’s Lord Ze Mu, right now I’m just worried about those who come to cause trouble, afraid that something unexpected might happen.”

“Haha, you don’t need to worry about that, they’ve already gone to feed the fish in the sea.”

Ze Mu said with boundless arrogance and confidence etched across his face.

In fact, it was exactly as Ze Mu had said!

Just as a fleet with two Vanguard Class battleships cut into the main battlefield, they instantly launched the first round of attacks, a sky full of missiles pouring down.

Instantly sinking and critically damaging over thirty vessels, this overwhelming firepower brought with it utter despair.

And all the targets of their attack were the ships positioned in front of The Crane Orchid, which, in an instant, was left fully exposed to the enemy’s line of sight amidst its protective fleet.

Inside The Crane Orchid’s control room, Chen Xijie reported in panic, “All our front-line ships have been crushed, we’re exposed!

They’re coming for us.”

“We’ve been locked on by their main cannon!”

Zhang Wenjing shouted anxiously.

Qian Chengxue said sternly through the communication channel, “Don’t panic!

Load the main cannon, load all the missiles!

We’re not easy targets.

Even if we die, we’ll take one with us.”

“Yes!”

Zi Qing and the others replied with determined eyes.

They were preparing for their last strike, seeing if they could take out an enemy ship, for there was only one chance.

Because if the artillery duel were to conclude, without any surprises, The Crane Orchid would no longer exist.

Inside the command room of the Spring Tide, a woman in uniform with a proud gaze and a mocking expression was staring at the operation screen.

Her adjutant reported respectfully, “Lord Nozomi, the enemy has locked onto us, seems like they plan to perish together with us!”

“Merely the last struggle of a spent force!”

Nozomi’s mouth curved into a slight smile, her mood was quite pleasant because this time she had caught a big fish.

Just then, an artillery operator reported, “Lord Nozomi, the main cannon is fully charged.”

Nozomi raised her right hand and gave a crisp swing.

“Attack!”

In an instant, the Spring Tide fired a dazzling blue beam at The Crane Orchid.

At that moment, in The Crane Orchid’s control room, Chen Xijie yelled desperately at Zi Qing, “The enemy has launched an attack!”

“Attack!”

Zi Qing, without any hesitation, also slammed her fist onto the launch button.

Zzz!

The Crane Orchid’s main cannon fired a blinding purple beam as well.

The two beams touched in midair, deviating from their firing trajectories and striking the sea beside the opposing ships.

Boom~~

Giant waves rolled up to the heavens.

On The Crane Orchid, Zhang Wenjing reported, “The beam attack missed, they all went off-target.”

Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Xijie spoke, trembling, “Not good, the other Vanguard Class ship is attacking us.”

The Gaoxiong fired a sky full of missiles.

“Intercept!”

Zi Qing’s voice was somewhat hoarse as she shouted.

“It’s no use, there are too many!”

Zhang Wenjing had hardly finished speaking.

Missile after missile broke through The Crane Orchid’s defensive net, crashing directly onto the hull.

Boom, boom, boom~~

The enormous blast wreaked havoc, tossing everyone in the control room around!

By the time the explosion ended, Zi Qing struggled to her feet and asked.

“Check the damage!”

“Report, the launch unit has suffered extensive damage, and the close-defense cannon is damaged…”

Zhang Wenjing got up and reported while looking at the red warning boxes popping up on the operation screen.

“Our teeth have been knocked out!”

Chen Xijie realized with bitterness what had happened.

In fact, she was right—if the Gaoxiong were willing, it could have inflicted severe damage on The Crane Orchid with a volley of its main cannons, instead of using missile attacks.

Just then, a communication request suddenly popped up.

Zhang Wenjing reported in a grave voice.

“The enemy has sent a communication request.”

For a moment, everyone present fell silent.

“Accept it!”

Zi Qing couldn’t help but say sternly.

At that point, Nozomi patched the communication through, speaking in fluent Z country’s language.

“Hello, I am Nozomi.

You should thank me.

If it weren’t for my mercy, you would already be feeding the fish at the bottom of the sea.”

“What do you want?”

Zi Qing asked tensely, biting her lip.

“It’s simple, as long as you surrender, I can spare your lives!”

Nozomi laid out her terms straightforwardly.

After all, The Crane Orchid was a Vanguard Class and counted among the top weapons; sinking it just like that would be a real waste.

“Dream on, we would rather die than surrender!”

Zi Qing and the others rejected the offer without a second thought.

“So principled, that’s such a pity.

I can only send you to feed the fish now,” Nozomi said arrogantly as she cut the communication.

Inside the control room of the Spring Tide, Nozomi didn’t hesitate to issue the order.

If they couldn’t have the prize, then everything should be destroyed; to be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself.

“Order the Gaoxiong to attack with the main cannons, destroy The Crane Orchid!”

“Understood!”

…

After receiving Nozomi’s order, the Gaoxiong turned its main cannons and relocked onto The Crane Orchid.

In the control room of The Crane Orchid, Chen Xijie sighed and said, “We’ve been locked on.”

Everyone bowed their heads; it was over.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to fight back, but there was no hope left.

All they could do was quietly face death.

However, just as the Gaoxiong fired its attack, a blast of light from afar struck, hitting the bow of the Gaoxiong instantly.

The massive explosion caused the Gaoxiong to veer off course, and its main cannon attack went awry.

The sudden twist left everyone dumbfounded.

In the control room of the Spring Tide, Nozomi asked furiously, “What happened!”

One of her subordinates stood up and reported urgently, “Report to Lady Nozomi, we have detected an unidentified ship entering the battlefield from the side, and they have sent us a communication request.

It seems to be a ship from the Sky Dragon Guild.

Shall we accept?”

“Hmph, a ship from the Sky Dragon Guild, interesting!

Accept!”

Nozomi’s mouth curved into a mocking smile as she responded.

The communication was swiftly connected, and a crisp female voice came through.

“Hello, I am Jiang Hanqiu, Deputy Legion Commander of the 34th Legion of the Heavenly Dragon Guild Navy Department.”

“I am Nozomi, Legion Leader of the Seventh Sea Battle Army of the Heavenly Light Guild.

Deputy Legion Commander Jiang Hanqiu, what business do you have with me?

Can’t you see I’m busy?”

“Nozomi, don’t you think your actions right now are a bit excessive?

These kids are just a little uninformed and accidentally wandered into your defensive zone.

Is such a heavy hand really necessary, isn’t this bullying the small with your size?”

Jiang Hanqiu spoke calmly, it was outrageous for so many regular troops to be bullying a bunch of militiamen.

“Since these unruly children don’t understand, then I’ll just have to help you educate them.

Any problems with that?”

Nozomi retorted mockingly.

“Heh, as if you’re qualified?

Since when did our people fall under your jurisdiction?

The words I said just now were out of courtesy, a mere formality.

But you…

you’re the same as ever, aren’t you, always overstepping your bounds and asking for discipline!”

Jiang Hanqiu responded with domineering confidence.

“You!”

Nozomi was practically about to explode with rage.
