Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: The Beginnings of Air Force Dominance Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: The Beginnings of Air Force Dominance The people of Starfire had also charged near the city gate, with the players and followers of Starfire madly pouring in through the gate as the blizzard cooled and paved the way.

Due to the Volcanic Eruption magic, the area near the city gate was completely vacant, and the Berserker Guild, caught off-guard by such formidable magic, had not expected it.

However, their formation was very dense, and the battle broke out into a tough push-and-shove fight, quickly reaching a stalemate.

Players from the Berserker Guild frantically searched for Li Yao, but he was nowhere to be found.

Then, after casting the magic, the black dragon ascended into the mid-air and Li Yao’s figure reappeared, which drove the Berserker Guild mad.

In fact, now every guild followed an elite route; coupled with the downturn of Hunters, there were few hunters appearing in the guilds. Even those hunters with good flying pets were rare, and with Starfire’s air force, it was impossible for them to attack Li Yao.

Li Yao began to look down over the entire battlefield. Now, not just at the city gate, but due to Dragon Breath, the city walls were completely exposed. Most of the city walls had been occupied by the people of Starfire, and the enemy’s defense had completely collapsed, leaving no advantage in their defense.

Moreover, faced with Air Strikes from three sides, the Berserker Guild was also in chaos internally.

First were the Starfire players with gliders, continuously throwing grenades; the grenades could kill the fragile, but not the thick-blooded professions and followers, though the stunning effect was significant, making it a powerful control tactic.

Moreover, the explosions greatly increased their destructive power on buildings, not only causing damage to players and followers but also dealing a powerful blow to the structures.

Next were the Dark Rangers, whose bat mounts could release sonic attacks. While the damage was lacking, the control over people below was very strong. When controlled, the Dark Rangers on the mounts could kill with a single arrow. Afterwards, they would turn into skeletons to stand up and attack those around them; like ghosts, they continuously harvested heads below while growing their own forces, their skeletons becoming more numerous.

The third force consisted of airborne summons, including Wind Snakes and other fewer flying summons and followers called by Starfire Hunter players.

The five thousand Wind Snakes were formidable; they cast a shadow over the sky. Especially when they collectively released Lightning Chain or Thunderstorm, it was as if the god of thunder had descended, with the sky rampant with a blue-white electric grid. Group after group was electrocuted to a crisp, for even though a single Wind Snake could not kill them instantly, what about several stacked?

Other flying creatures were attacking special vulnerable structures, such as the Mantises summoned by Li Yao, which swiftly destroyed three Altars of the opponents, not even giving them time to react or defend.

Subsequently, those mantises became the nightmares of the Berserkers; elusive and since they could fly, they were utterly unpredictable. Every appearance caused massive casualties, especially since the mantises specifically targeted the more vulnerable healers.

The repeated air strikes dismantled the enemy’s advantage completely. Originally, the density of their formation meant that Starfire’s penetration was not impossible, but it would have been costly. However, continuous air strikes caused the Berserker guild’s lines to collapse repeatedly.

The melee professions couldn’t protect the ranged and healers from being killed by the air force, and the healers, constantly protecting themselves and in disarray, couldn’t heal effectively. Similarly, the ranged attackers couldn’t focus on causing damage without a proper environment.

The collapse was inevitable, Li Yao saw from the air. The stuck lines, with the significant role of the ranged professions, turned into Starfire’s continuous advance, while the Berserker’s melee fighters fell like cut wheat.

“Starfire taught all guilds a lesson and also sounded an alarm for them, originally thinking Starfire to be more formidable than the Berserker Guild. But after knowing the trade license of the opponent, along with their combat data, they realized they weren’t much less elite than Starfire. Still, they were completely powerless, which shows the importance of the air force,” Xiao Ze sighed.

HY also said, “In fact, other guilds are not unaware of the role of the air force, but with the current level and conditions of the players, getting an air force is not easy. Prairie Fire’s mantis hunting has a powerful uniqueness that can’t be replicated. As for the gliders, although blueprints exist, they require advanced engineering to be manufactured. Previously, many didn’t realize the importance of gliders and that they must be used in conjunction with hand grenades. These hand grenades are blended with rare metals to have such a significant effect, similar to the Hundred Hunter Crossbows, requiring a huge cost. Considering the cost of this battle, who knows how much it will take, and the consumption of the Hundred Hunter Crossbows is also astonishing. If they win, it’s okay, but if they lose, it really is a loss, and not many guilds can fight like Starfire.”

Xiao Ze gave a bitter smile, “But Starfire has been winning, haven’t they? This time, if nothing unexpected happens, Starfire is pretty much guaranteed a win. Not to mention destroying buildings or upgrading their own, the loot alone would compensate for all their losses, and they might even make a handsome profit.”

“That’s why Starfire’s money-burning model is something even top guilds struggle to sustain. It’s not feasible to pay money and honor to let members buy powerful followers, otherwise, the expenses would be too great. At the end of the day, the guild has become something resembling a profit-making company; purely developmental guilds can’t thrive, they can’t afford to lose money equipping their members,” HY revealed the real crux, as not all guilds had several stable sources of income like Starfire, plus the occasional large deposits of Gold Coins by Li Yao.

What they didn’t know was, Li Yao was using money to replace time, accelerating Starfire’s development to keep up with the super guilds. If he wanted, Li Yao wouldn’t just be wealthy but rather affluent. However, Li Yao had bigger plans and didn’t care about short-term income issues.

This model of not prioritizing profit to nourish the guild’s development was unique to Li Yao. The nascent guild was like a budding dynasty, full of vitality, unlike the super guilds and large guilds where not even the president or CEO had complete say, having to consider the opinions of investors. If the income did not meet expectations, they could turn hostile.

This was also the genuine reason why Li Yao refused to accept investments, keeping a tight grip on the majority of the shares; he’d rather not make short-term profits internally than let Starfire face any restrictions in the future.

HY nodded, “Now the only practical approach is for each guild to recruit Hunters and then find places where flying pets can be consistently captured, to gradually train an air force. Moreover, they need to be quick, considering followers are just becoming popular. With Starfire displaying five thousand Wind Snakes, as time goes by, once those followers acquire their own Wind Snakes, the number of air forces could increase by more than ten times, potentially facing sixty to seventy thousand Wind Snakes.”

HY’s words made all the spectators shockingly awake. A network of five thousand Wind Snakes was already terrifying, let alone fifty or sixty to seventy thousand. With this, Starfire might dominate solely with the power of their air force…
