Chapter 968 - Chapter 968 Chapter 968 Move Again

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Move Again Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Move Again The guilds of the three major factions strategized well, frantically sending Scouts to search, but they essentially found nothing.

Starfire had vanished without a trace, making it impossible to locate them.

The members of the three factions became prey for the Alien Guild. The existing gap between the two was already significant, and encounters usually ended in elimination for the individual guilds.

The competition area was engulfed in battle and chaos. Every time a guild was extinguished, significant losses occurred, and there was no time to regroup before another guild emerged to wipe them out.

The military achievements of the Alien Guild changed frenziedly; occasionally, the dimming of a guild’s name indicated its destruction.

A day of intense battle unfolded, and during that time, most guilds were eliminated not by lack of points, but by being wiped out.

Meanwhile, Starfire’s camp continued to relax, as if unconcerned with external affairs.

In reality, Starfire’s Scouts were far from idle; it was only the regular combatants that seemed at ease.

Sister Li, Feng Yi, and Li Yao were constantly monitoring various intelligence and paying attention to the dynamics of the battle.

Late at night, after a day of fighting, the various guilds chose suitable locations to camp and rest, finally bringing a momentary halt to the conflict.

Sister Li shared a spreadsheet and said, “Look at the military achievements board, there are still about fifty-six guilds left that haven’t been wiped out. However, many of these are mere remnants with only a few dozen or so players, and there are only about twenty-two guilds that still retain normal combat strength.”

“Hmm, we have one more day to truly decide the winners,” Li Yao said, somewhat relieved by these statistics.

“When do we depart?” Seductress Angel asked.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao replied, “There’s a moon in the early night, we’ll move after the moon sets.”

“It will be too dark by then. Many in our guild chose races without great night vision, and even those with night vision capabilities wouldn’t do well without moonlight; aside from the high elves, who can maintain decent vision, the rest can’t see far.”

“I understand. We don’t have many people, and during the day, we would be surrounded. Although our strength is considerable, lacking a stronghold and Cannons, facing another encirclement would be troublesome. Thus, we need to amass enough strength before dawn to stand up against an attack,” Li Yao explained.

Seeing that everyone was still concerned, Li Yao continued, “Don’t worry, as long as I can see, it’s fine.”

Upon this, Li Yao’s eyes suddenly turned blue, and everyone thought of his Titan’s Eye and knew.

The next day’s battle was incredibly intense, exhausting the commentators who split the coverage, leading them to turn off their feeds and rest.

Suddenly, the dormant commentators were roused by a ringing bell, a sound that only rang in critical situations.

In this competition, only Starfire’s actions would trigger such a bell.

All commentators jolted to alertness, then quickly adjusted their feeds to reappear.

“What’s happening?”

The commentators asked the duty commentator.

The European commentator said, “Starfire, which disappeared for a day, has reappeared.”

“At 2:30 AM in game time, it’s pitch black out, what can they do?” the American commentator wondered.

Many players who had been silent and resting were also alerted; they had set the alert tone just to wait for Starfire’s move.

The previously quiet public channels once again bustled with activity.

“This direction, moving upstream, are they intending to return to their stronghold to revive fallen comrades?” the African commentator mumbled sleepily.

“Don’t joke, the battlefield rules state that if death exceeds two hours, revival is not possible. It’s been a day; very few on that side have been revived, the others are mostly eliminated,” Feng Yi stated.

The African commentator shook his head and said, “I’m not fully awake yet.”

The other commentators laughed, and the European commentator sighed, “Your guild, Starfire, is truly insane. Securing the first place in military achievements seems next to impossible to surpass. If Starfire disappears for another day, they will automatically advance to the final phase. Why would they still take action?”

“Right, now among the remaining guilds with retained combat capability, eighteen are Alien Guilds. They’ve all given up searching for Starfire. All they need to do is compete among themselves and then face Starfire in a final battle later, why would Starfire risk coming out?” the American commentator also wondered.

Feng Yi said, “It’s simple, Starfire is not satisfied with their current results, they want to continue to grab military achievements, to seize control points.”

Everyone suddenly understood because there was a rule in the competition. The military achievements from second and third rounds would accumulate, and the victor could use these achievements to exchange for materials to construct ports.

It must be noted that for a guild to have a base and yet build a second one is tremendously challenging, not just for other guilds, but also for Starfire.

Moreover, the three major factions did not wish this port construction to be in a petty state like other guilds. They hoped that this port would play a significant role in the goods exchange between the two continents.

Thus, the three factions prepared materials as a reward, effectively gambling, as no one could be sure which guild would win the port, especially with the emergence of guilds from Sub-dimensions, which was highly displeasing to the three factions. However, they had no power to eliminate so many formidable fighters from the Sub-dimension, leaving them no choice but to accept it.

“No, even if Starfire seizes a stronghold under the cover of darkness, it won’t be much use without Hundred Hunt Crossbows and Cannons. Maintaining such a defense is unrealistic,” the American commentator said.

Everyone was puzzled; in a situation seemingly guaranteed to win, what was Starfire trying to do by exposing themselves? It would be better to wait for the competition to end and then emerge.

Meanwhile, Starfire’s members hurried on their march, all dressed in grey cloaks, making it undetectable to both spectators and commentators that there was something different about the individuals at the very front of the troop.

Li Yao, mounted on a long-unsummoned Hell Battle Scorpion, pointed at the map and said, “Let’s target this camp first; it’s a decent one.”

“That camp has stone walls; it might be challenging to attack,” Guardian Angel remarked.

Unparalleled Seductress shook her head, “I agree with the chairman’s view. Precisely because their defenses are solid, both attackers and defenders think the same, which is why this guild will be even more negligent, assuming the cost of attacking them is too high.”

“Exactly, strike unexpectedly and catch them unprepared. With our means, taking down this place is not a very difficult task,” Li Yao concluded.

As they discussed strategies, the team moved swiftly, managing to bypass some camps, and completely undetected, Starfire’s members approached the front of the stronghold…
