Chapter 660: First battle, finishing off the enemy?

Void creatures?

Michael took it very seriously: "Under normal circumstances, void creatures would instinctively flee in the face of such a massive impact. Monitor them carefully! If there is any threat, clear the area immediately."

Uriel dared not be careless: "Understood!"

Soon, the surveillance footage was sent over. Although it was far away and not very clear, the general outline was still visible.

Uriel didn't quite recognize it: "Two... ribbonfish?"

Michael laughed: "This is a Voidwing Serpent, arguably the weakest large creature in the void. Its only special ability is its extreme speed, making it very difficult to clear out an area occupied by it—"

At this point, Michael paused for a moment: "It seems a bit different from ordinary Voidwing Serpents?"

As I was observing it closely, the winged serpent hid behind a floating star nearby and disappeared from sight.

Michael was puzzled: "Why aren't those two winged serpents running away?"

Uriel scoffed: "Since it's the weakest creature in the void, even if it's a Boss-level being, it's nothing to be afraid of. I'm going to war!"

Michael said in a deep voice, "The naval base on the Golden Throne side has also launched an attack. As expected, it's the Void Assault Ship 009, the Void Blade. This ship has a top speed of 130 knots, with 70% of its firepower concentrated in its bow and 80% of its armor... Its design philosophy is reconnaissance, ramming, and escape. When fighting it, you absolutely cannot turn sideways and engage it in a direct firefight, or it will ram you in half..."

"The ship just completed routine maintenance the day before yesterday. I bet it was this ship's maiden voyage that got the maintenance workers drunk and secretly replaced parts in the No. 3 boiler. So when this assault ship tries to turn and escape, the boiler will definitely explode. You'll definitely be able to catch up then, and the first thing you'll do after catching up is to blow up the No. 3 boiler to destroy the evidence..."

Uriel was a little nervous: "Understood..."

……

Although the late-night snack was exquisite, Da Chun didn't have the leisure to savor it slowly, nor did he feel like drinking.

After finishing eating, they observed the battlefield again.

At this point, the Queen was so close that she could already see the outlines of the houses in Hell City. Looking at the evolution progress, it had already reached 4.7% in less than twenty minutes!
Holy crap, at this rate of evolution, it might advance again overnight.

Then we should cherish and seize the opportunity even more, after all, such tremors are not common, and they might subside in a few hours! Da Chun even felt that the Queen was being a bit too conservative. But only here is there a meteorite blocking the way; any closer and there would be no barrier.

Just as they were struggling with this decision, a flying object that looked like a sailboat or a multi-winged whale appeared from Hell City.

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. They set out!
——Dios Merchant Guild Channel [Aimeier]: Fleet battle! I've never experienced this before, I'm so nervous. With only a dozen or so people from our guild, can we manage?

what! ?

Our chamber of commerce is leading the charge? Just one ship to attack the city?
[Wine Angel]: Don't worry, our vice president is a sage. Even if we can't beat him, we can escape.

[Olica]: You can all fly, but Metadisia and I can't. We can't escape.

[Shoe Angel]: Don't worry, if something really happens, I can carry two and one on my back! Let Old Wine carry the two masters.

[Wine Angel]: No, I carry the lady, and the old shoe carries the master.

[Kasa]: Everyone, quiet. There is a battlefield command channel; do not speak in the guild channel.

【Aimee】: Hmph! I don't believe in any battlefield channel; it's just for monitoring what we say. If we speak in the guild channel, the guild leader might even hear us.

[Kasha]: Miss, quiet down! ...

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. Ai Mei'er was calling out to him!

Should we follow them? But if we do, wouldn't we be giving ourselves away? Even though they might have been spotted already, they wouldn't go looking for trouble with two monsters, would they?
Besides, Uriel is also on the field, so I have faith in Uriel's strength! If they were to be sent flying back, I would have to intervene—but the thought of that made Da Chun feel extremely irresponsible!
After all, is it possible that Uriel, in order to seize power, might also be thinking of taking this opportunity to eliminate the shareholders? Although NPCs can revive after they die, it would be ridiculous if there were a scripted death in some campaign or story mode!

Especially since the five female mercenaries were of low status and not top-tier in strength, yet they were also original shareholders, they were just too much of an eyesore in the eyes of the Ten Elders, right?
Da Chun made a decision: "Queen, you and the child continue to absorb energy here, and always be careful. I'm going out for a bit, and I'll contact you using the Eye of the Storm if anything happens."

The Queen was taken aback: "But Master—"

Da Chun explained, "Because the people on this ship are my subordinates, I have to be concerned about their safety."

The Queen said admiringly, "Yes, Master. You must be careful, Master."

Da Chun suddenly laughed. What was it about me that she admired so much? Having a ship full of subordinates who were loyal and righteous—wasn't it a good deal for me to follow her?
In short, Da Chun can fly now, its little wings flapping as it follows. As for the teleportation skill "Spatial Fire," it dares not use it, lest it be detected by advanced technology.

After struggling for a while, Da Chun realized that the speed was appalling, like riding an ox to chase a horse or swimming to catch a big ship. In an instant, he was left far behind by the hellish warship.

—System notification: You have diligently practiced flying and gained some basic flying skills.

what?
Holy crap! Like running and swimming, there's even a flight skill! So this skill can't be shared between main accounts. Oh well, I'll just treat it as skill practice.

As a result of this training, a flash of red light appeared in front of us, and the battle began!

Da Chun panicked and sped up to catch up!
……

Top Ten Chat Group.

As the two ships encountered each other, the battle began, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Knowing beforehand that it was a ram-type assault ship, Uriel did not engage in a side-to-side bombardment, but instead charged at it with 20% of its bow firepower. It was a medieval knight charge duel!
In their first encounter, the two ships passed each other by, but the Uriel warship suffered a great loss and had all of its sails blown off one side.

Then both sides turn and prepare for the second head-on confrontation!
This was also Uriel playing to his opponent's preferences, using the opponent's favorite fighting style to duel, because in this situation, the opponent would definitely not run away, but would definitely want to take the credit!
Just then, the mines planted by Michael took effect, and the boilers of the Void Assault Ship exploded!

The situation reversed instantly!

The chat group erupted in cheers!!

Michael exclaimed excitedly, "The next step is the boarding battle. After destroying Boiler No. 3, we must retreat immediately, citing our smaller numbers. We absolutely must not anger the Empire!"

Uriel exclaimed excitedly, "Don't worry, I already told everyone that our purpose was just to test the waters..."

……

In his haste, Da Chun rushed to the battlefield at full speed.

System notification: Congratulations! You have successfully mastered Level 1 of the Basic Flight Technique, and have gained the following achievements: Stamina +1, Weight Capacity +1.

Great, the flapping of the wings feels more rhythmic and faster now.

Getting closer!
Suddenly, they realized it was a hellish warship returning, swaying precariously amidst flames. Had they won? Or lost?
Looking ahead, the imperial warships were engulfed in flames, clearly indicating they were moving at a slow speed.

This?
In that instant, Da Chun had a sudden inspiration: why not finish him off? I've been in the Golden Throne for so long in this S-rank trial, and I haven't accomplished a single merit. This is a free achievement for me!
