Chapter 1024: 1024 Chapter 1024: 1024 As far as Li Yao knew, super battleships were exceedingly rare.

Even among the three major factions, the number of super battleships was limited, Li Yao recalled.

The Neutral Faction only had two super battleships: one was the Archangel’s flagship, Heaven, and the other was the Guardian Ship that protected the gates of hell.

The Light Faction possessed the King’s flagship, Lionheart, along with the Ancient Elves’ Moon God, Nightmare, and Talon.

The Dark Camp, on the other hand, had the Trolls’ Darkspear, the High Elves’ Sun, Windrunner, and Arcane, as well as the Undead Clan’s Undead.

Of course, some top pirate groups also had super ships, like the Bloodsail Pirates’ Duke, but Li Yao had never seen them, only pictures, and he wasn’t even clear about their specific attributes.

While flying back to the harbor, he pondered that Starfire had two very important ports, and if he wanted to truly secure a foothold, he would need at least two super battleships to stabilize the position completely.

After all, other forces did not use their super battleships as a deterrent, but as a sword in hand, while their actual deterrent force came from the super leaders of their races.

As for Starfire, they were just new recruits, unable to deter surrounding forces, so they had to rely on powerful warships instead.

Upon landing at the port, Li Yao immediately began to survey the approaching ships, wanting to identify which was the demon-powered battleship. He hoped to capture a warship and make it Starfire’s own.

However, much to Li Yao’s disappointment, he could not discern which one was the real demon-powered battleship from their appearance; even the Eye of Titan was no use this time.

“It seems the Eye of Titan is not omnipotent, or perhaps its evolution is yet insufficient,” Li Yao thought.

Because of the time Li Yao had fought for, Starfire’s people had already set up defenses at the harbor, with Unparalleled mustering the Guard Captain to coordinate the defense.

Especially the five thousand elite members of Starfire, who, after experiencing the harbor defense battle, could now execute orders without question.

Under their lead, the members of Starfire also learned to imitate them.

The people of Starfire were holding back their frustration. They were supposed to start raiding dungeons, but they had been pinned down by the pirates, which truly irritated them.

“The treasures are within the harbor. Prepare the cannons, exterminate them, and all the riches of the harbor will belong to our One-Eyed Pirate Gang,” shouted the female pirate, and with her voice, the great harbor battle officially erupted.

“This is Starfire’s base, built by our own hard work; how can we tolerate pirates running rampant? Cannons, adjust and fire automatically; have the hunter crossbows ready,” Unparalleled Beauty also started to command.

The members of Starfire instantly let out a unanimous roar of rage. Just as Sister Li said, the base was the fruit of everyone’s labor.

Although the guild provided the funds to build such an impressive base, the members, in comparison, contributed even more.

As Starfire prospered, except for those who had just joined the guild, almost everyone had their own homes. Many impatient members continuously undertook various guild tasks to accumulate guild points and exchange them in advance for the houses they wanted.

As time passed, the villa district had already welcomed over fifty residences, and those who moved into the villas were not the core members of the guild, but those who made the largest contributions to the guild.

This system gave all Starfire members hope and drive, because the reality showed them that as long as they contributed to the guild, they would receive the best treatment, and everyone was treated equally.

Moreover, Li Yao himself did not have his own villa, which made them truly regard Starfire as their home in the game.

Li Yao did not continue using his powerful pets to destroy warships because he understood that what he had done was enough. Even if he kept destroying the warships and easily won, becoming a hero, there was no real significance in it.

His prestige was already sufficient, and it was through arduous battles, by defending with his own strength, that would further solidify Starfire’s recognition, particularly with new members joining. Only through contribution and battle could they truly integrate.

Even though this cost Starfire quite a lot of Gold Coin, Li Yao felt the expense was worthwhile.

If other guilds knew about Li Yao’s way of thinking, they would surely berate him as a spendthrift, questioning his unusual style, as if he had money to burn.

The roar of cannon fire was clear and distinct as both sides bombarded each other.

However, due to distance and the current accuracy of the Cannons, the actual casualties inflicted were not great, especially against ships in motion.

The Pirates, too, were dissatisfied; in their view, under the cannonade, the enemy’s port should crumble directly, not to mention how many people it would kill.

Yet, while the Artillery Shells caused some newly recruited soldiers to perish, the enemy’s port remained as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Yao revealed a faint smile; this was the port he had spent a fortune to construct–how could it fear the artillery?

It was known that, except for human’s main city-level large ports, most others were simply built with wooden pilings underwater and wooden planks on the surface.

This method was cheaper and any damage was easy to repair.

But Li Yao had spent a great deal of money to procure sturdy rocks and had built a main city’s stone port, in addition to the reinforcement magic he had personally applied using precious materials.

Although the port was not as sturdy as a city wall, it was not something the Cannons on ships could destroy.

“Damn it, it’s Giant Stone Port,” the female Pirate’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment; the effect of solid shot was not that significant in this case, “All hands prepare to land, slaughter them.”

The female Pirate issued this order out of compulsion; it was known that Pirates were formidable at sea but not suited for landing operations and strong assaults. However, the leader of the One-Eyed Pirate Gang had been somehow bought off and ordered her to take the port at all costs.

She understood what ‘at all costs’ meant–that even if all their Warships were destroyed and their men utterly decimated, it was considered acceptable.

Amidst the mutual barrage of artillery, Pirate ships closed in on the port. With a hefty bounty at stake, the Pirates’ morale surged, and they furiously stormed the port.

“Ranged units, retreat; cease fire, prepare for land battle.” Following Sister Li’s command, Starfire also made adjustments, and both sides engaged in a fierce struggle for the port.

Starfire clashed violently with the Pirates; the Pirates were mostly three-star elites or Silver Hero levels, each one powerful.

While the players were merely elites, at most three-star elites, inferior in quality to the Pirates, their attacks couldn’t compare.

But the players’ advantages lay in their complete range of classes and cooperation, whereas most of the Pirates were either warriors or rogues, with some Hunters and Bow and Arrow users.

As for healing, don’t joke; in the Ancient Gods, healing classes all had their own faith–becoming a Pirate meant having no faith at all.

However, there were many boss-level leaders among the Pirates, and the two sides commenced a furious blood battle as soon as they engaged.

The female Pirate thought they could directly overwhelm these weaklings by charging in, but what they did not expect was Starfire’s tenacious resistance.

After battling for an hour, both sides suffered countless casualties, yet they still hadn’t secured their footing in the port…
