Chapter 1267 - Chapter 1267 Chapter 1267 Dual Paths

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Dual Paths Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Dual Paths Li Yao stood on a high spot in the dock area, facing the warm sea breeze, and said, “How is it, is our fleet within the range of the Magical Lighthouse’s radiation?”

The Guard Officer nodded and replied, “According to the schedule, the fleet should return to port in less than an hour. Our lighthouse covers half a day’s voyage, so we should be able to establish contact now. If the Administrative Officer contacts them now to hasten their speed, they should be able to return in a quarter of an hour.”

Li Yao nodded and picked up the Communication Stone: “Main base contacting the Second Fleet, please have your officers connect to the communication.”

Li Yao called out three times, and finally, a female voice came through: “Administrative Officer, I am the commander of the Second Fleet. What do you need by contacting me?”

“Our territory is going to be at war in half an hour. The enemy will launch an attack from both land and sea at the same time. I’m not sure how quickly you can return to port,” Li Yao said directly.

“Because of the weather, we are about half an hour behind the normal return time. However, if the Administrative Officer requires, we can push the engines to their limits, but it will have consequences for the ship’s structure and fuel consumption…” the female Pirate hesitated before replying.

Li Yao interrupted her, “This is wartime, and the Lord cannot return. I have full authority to make decisions. The damage to the ship and the financial cost of the fuel will be fully reimbursed.”

“That’s the spirit; that’s exactly what I was waiting to hear from the Administrative Officer,” the female Pirate exclaimed loudly. “Men, there are some blind fools who want to attack our territory from the sea. Push the engines to their limits, intercept them, and blow them to bits.”

Then there were cheers of excitement, and Li Yao put down the communicator, looked at the bustling crowd below, and revealed a slight smile. Gazing at the vast ocean, she muttered to herself: “How would you know that the current Starfire has long since been different from before, no longer the small guild that operates only on one person’s prestige? Is Starfire weak now? If Starfire was sustained solely by an elite team, what would be the point? Since you think Starfire is weak now, let’s have a battle to show you the true strength of Starfire.”

After a while, the Guard Officer came running back and said, “Administrative Officer, we are almost ready. Are we really going to use those things? If so, it is estimated that a lot of Gold Coins will be wasted. It’s not really necessary.”

Li Yao shook her head, “Let’s go ahead with it. The Lord said that as our strength increases, those things will soon be obsolete. It’s better to make use of them before they go out of date. Besides, Starfire lacks many things, but money is certainly not one. Go ahead and make arrangements with confidence. Leave the land side to you; I will be in charge of defending the port.”

“Understood,” the Guard Officer nodded.

“Take care,” Li Yao watched the Guard Officer leave.

“Have you really decided to have me live broadcast this battle?” Feng Yi, who had been studying intelligence, looked up and asked.

“The sword of Starfire is already sharpened. If not now, when should it be drawn?” Li Yao said with determination. “Let’s use this battle to show everyone the power of Starfire and lay the foundation for our team’s official establishment.”

“That could be good. These people, always thinking that we rely on his reputation to get by. Now that he’s not here, it’s a perfect time to let certain individuals realize that we are not to be triflected with even without our core team.” Feng Yi stood up and said, “I am going to start broadcasting now. I’ll send out the notifications immediately.”

Li Yao nodded and clenched her fists slightly, once again turning her gaze to the vast ocean.

At this moment, far from the Giant Dragon Spark Station, under the flags of two guilds, two teams were marching at a frantic pace towards the Starfire Delta Station. Their speed was astonishing, their bodies wrapped in a whirlwind.

Similarly, on the sea, there was a fleet also enveloped in whirlwind-like phenomena, moving with extreme speed. They were also from two guilds, one of which was the fleet of the Wheat Mang Guild. Although the overall quality was not as good as Starfire, they also had a significant number of ships.

Meanwhile, in the competition arena, due to the continued elimination of intelligence officers by Li Yao’s three Scouts, two-thirds of the major officers were completely exposed. With their Scouts late in communicating, they finally realized that none of their intelligence officers had been killed before being killed themselves.

The Troll Tribe was now in an awkward predicament. If things continued as they were, it was probable that all of their intelligence officers would be eliminated. However, to attack now was akin to seeking death. With most of the majors exposed, the quantitative disparity was too great, making it all too easy to target and eliminate their weak points.

Li Yao, in his bat form, flew to an edge of a flag and landed. Whispering to a beauty hidden in the shadows, he said, “The battle has entered a new stage. It seems they don’t want to attack but rather hold out. All the captains have been assigned to protect the remaining intelligence officers. It looks like they’ve chosen to stand their ground.”

“You seem relaxed,” the beauty responded with a slight shake of her head, calming her breath, which indicated she had just expended a lot of effort to evade pursuers.

Li Yao laughed, “Only this once. I can’t turn into a bat next time. The attributes are too weak as a bat; too easy to be killed instantly.”

“What’s the situation with Shadow Dance?” asked the beauty.

“It’s much the same as ours, difficult to strike again,” Li Yao thought for a moment and then said, “I will signal them to attack with all their might.”

“We’re in a tight spot, yet you seem to have some leeway,” she noted.

Li Yao shook his head, “Hunting has become difficult for me too. This game is fairly secure now. There’s no need to take risks.”

“I still feel like something’s not right. Normally, they should be struggling in their last moments, giving their all to attack us. There might be a sliver of hope considering their army’s configurations, but if they just hold their position, they are sure to lose. The Troll Tribe Guild couldn’t have gotten this far if they were all fools. But why would they choose to do so when they know they’re bound to lose?” the beauty expressed her doubts.

Li Yao thought momentarily but couldn’t come up with an answer, “Defense can only delay time, but what’s the point of delaying?”

“Never mind, it doesn’t matter what they are up to as long as we can win. Securing the Crimson Fortress is paramount,” the beauty shook her head, “I can’t stay here; the guards are coming around for patrol. I need to find a new place.”

“Right, don’t do anything rash. In a while, coordinate with our Legion to hunt down their majors or Generals,” Li Yao said, then took off flying.

Reaching the highest point of the stronghold, he transformed back into human form and drew his bow, nocking an arrow.

In an instant, a red arrow streaked into the sky, followed by a burst of red flames.

In the Starfire stronghold, Knight Fruit witnessed the sky ablaze with red and immediately jumped off the wall: “The Chairman has given the order, attack!”

The gates of the stronghold flung open…
