Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Conclusion Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Conclusion Although the bright moon was high and the earth was silvery white, had it not been for the blessing of the Moon God, they wouldn’t have been able to see the massive number of monsters gathering underwater.

By the time they discovered this, Starfire’s naval forces had already begun climbing rapidly.

“Everyone pay attention, don’t let those monsters in the water get the jump on us.”

The swordsmen were going mad, having just received the ominous news that the frontal battlefield was surrounded, they were contemplating how to have the United Army on the front battle to the death, to buy time for them to breach the city walls. They had not anticipated launching a counterattack this early.

And the counterattack from Starfire was fierce from the start, with Murlocs, Nagas, and Frogmen in the water being one aspect, while Starfire’s projectile troops also began their barrage in an instant.

With the launch of several giant slingshots, just in the first wave alone, over three hundred Starfire players were thrown into the air, as Ran Zhou unfolded his glider.

The only comforting thought was that those circling in the sky were primarily using bows and arrows, without employing the weaponry of fiery gunpowder.

In an instant, the harassment from above, together with the boarding by various aquatic races, erupted into an incredibly fierce battle.

On one hand, there were increases in attack strength and decreased opponent’s armor due to their attacks, and on the other, the enemy was under negative states reducing their attributes and agility. Not to mention the element of surprise, merely the discrepancy in attributes was unbearable for the United Army.

Although many Hook Lock users and boarders were cut down, even more managed, enhanced by their attributes, to board the ships and commence intense combat on deck.

Together with the support from the gliders in the air, and the surprise attacks catching the enemy off guard, although their responses were quick, they still lost the advantage, forcing them to evolve towards a disadvantageous direction.

This wasn’t a battle confined to a single ship; maritime forces from three races kept boarding for combat, and Starfire players occasionally leaped down from the sky, immediately throwing the United Army’s formation into chaos.

“Damn it, what do we do now?” Mist Traveler felt a chill, as even his ship was subject to indiscriminate attacks.

Most importantly, he was worried about how to maintain the attack rhythm faced with such strikes. Landing had now become a challenging task, meaning the already landed players were essentially isolated.

Masquerading as a sword hero, he kicked a Murloc off the ship, shouting loudly, “You ask me, how should I know?”

Now with their formation in total disarray, the United Army’s fleet was completely in an awkward situation; advancing meant facing relentless artillery, retreating meant Starfire’s fleet watching menacingly, and if they stayed put, they faced continual assault from Starfire on the sea.

Although they were confident that their players far surpassed those of Starfire, the main force boarding were the aquatic races of three types, and they had no idea how many Murlocs, Frogmen, and Nagas Starfire actually had, but seeing the shimmering silver underwater, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

“The pieces are set, the overall situation has been decided,” Phantom remarked, looking at the still rich moonlight in the sky, “I discovered for the first time that such a massive blessing looks so beautiful, and we too enjoyed the treatment of God-blessed City.”

Sister Li also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling and saying, “Yes, it’s over, we finally did not disappoint the chairman and the team members.”

Both broke into laughter, the outcome was clear now, and the key issue was how much they could harvest in the time left for reaping.

From atop the World Tree, watching the two cities gradually calm down, HY earnestly said, “Congratulations, Starfire has once again overcome a difficult situation, after today, no guild will underestimate Starfire again.”

Feng Yi slightly shook his head, “Thanks, but the victory was inevitable, after all, our defensive line was built with money.”

HU twitched his mouth, speechless.

Over half an hour later, the sounds of killing from both battlefields had nearly disappeared.

Starfire had completely crushed the United Army, and Starfire again achieved unexpectedly remarkable results.

The disparity in the losses between the two sides was huge indeed; in the first few hours, less than five thousand from Starfire had perished, and it was only in the last half-hour of the encirclement battle that various units from Starfire suffered nearly a hundred thousand losses, most of which were the three aquatic races. The enemy’s casualties amounted to nearly six hundred thousand players and several million various units, although most were Goblin Eaters and Abominations, it still represented a significant expense.

And without the replenishment from the Large Starfire Warehouse they failed to conquer, the losses were grave.

In the final stages of the battle, the United Army finally erupted with vigor, engaging in fierce battle with Starfire’s forces, causing significant losses to Starfire but ultimately failing to reverse the course of the battle.

Moreover, aside from the ships lost during the initial fleet battles, the desperate United Army even ordered boats to be burned, but by that time, preventing the fires was not easy–they managed to set only five or six ships ablaze, and the rest remained untouched.

When the final battle also faded away, an orderly cheer burst forth from Starfire’s side; they had truly won, triumphing over the attack by four guild alliances.

“Is this finally over?” Phantom asked.

Sister Li shook her head slightly, “Over, how could it be? We haven’t announced the end of the fight yet. Get my orders passed, let Starfire’s fleet enter the harbor, leave the appropriate number of troops to garrison, everyone else get on the ships. Since they have exhausted their forces, their bases must be vulnerable, and we will counterattack.”

The audience gasped, Starfire was actually planning a counterattack, aiming for the impossible.

Starfire indeed launched the counterattack, first targeting two harbor bases. The ships reached the opponent’s bases directly, and since they were almost completely emptied, their defending forces were limited, mostly composed of non-combatant life players, offering no resistance against Starfire’s assault.

Overnight, Starfire’s main army swept through four guild bases, adhering to the principle of taking all that could be taken away and destroying what couldn’t, turning the four guild bases into ruins.

The four guilds were powerless, unable to respawn in war mode, stuck in graveyards; although they knew Starfire had swept through their bases, they were helpless as they logged in and could only stay in the graveyards.

Watching their own bases get wrecked in soul form through live streams was particularly hard to endure.

During this period, because they looted too much, Starfire’s fleet couldn’t hold all the plunder. Consequently, Sister Li commanded the homecoming merchant ships to rush over, making countless guilds envy them.

Starfire’s performance this time seemed brilliant, but in reality, it was a victory achieved through hours of continuous bombing and relentless spending. However, by looting the four guild bases, even for Starfire, it represented a significant profit.

The loot from the four large guild warehouses alone was substantial. While they couldn’t compare to Starfire, they kept Sister Li’s smile ceaseless. Together with some other materials, the Starfire station was on its way to becoming a real city-level base…
