Chapter 570 - Battle, Command

Chapter 570: Battle, Command

“Everyone, get ready for battle! Water Manipulators, distribute and set up Water Curtains to decrease their speed right now. Wind Manipulators, cast Tornado on the ocean surface approximately 100 meters from us to disrupt their movement. Machine Gunners, find suitable attack positions. Light Armor Warriors, pay attention and get rid of all monsters that get on board the ship.” The Nine-Star Guild player responsible for giving commands shouted on the channel after the first Flying Knife Swordfish leaped from the ocean into the air.

If they did not deal with the situation appropriately, the entire team might be wiped out right then and there.

If an entire team of experts from a city gathered excitedly to work on a discovery mission, but then failed to even reach their destination due to being wiped out and sent back home by a horde of monsters, it would be excruciatingly embarrassing.

At that moment, the Nine-Star Guild had to take charge and start issuing commands.

However, what intrigued Feng Luo the most was the tone and voice of the player issuing the commands. Even in that situation, the person still sounded very calm and also very confident.

It was as if the person was not at all worried about the predicament they were facing, the player sounded very calm and assured.

Nonetheless, while the commands were issued on time, the people responding to the commands still needed time to carry out their tasks.

Just as the players began to execute their commands, the first batch of around a hundred Flying Knife Swordfish had got onto the military boat.

The straight bodies of the Flying Knife Swordfish were quite tough and paired with their incredible speed that was comparable to a rifle bullet, they were definitely not any weaker than flying knives.

Moreover, each of them weighed not any less than a cannonball.

Most importantly, it was not just one flying knife, it was over a hundred heavyweight “cannon flying knives.”

“Dong, dong, dong...”

Loud and chaotic banging noises came from above the military boat.

There were sounds of players shouting as they dodged the incoming flying fish; the sounds of Light Armor Warriors slashing at the incoming flying fish with their alloy swords, the sounds of flying fish “spearing” things after falling on the ship’s deck, as well as the sounds of defensive skills being cast.

Among the noise and chaos, there was also one flash of the white light of death.

“What’s going on? Why did someone die already?”

The reality was that on the lower deck, a Manipulator player had failed to dodge and was hit by a flying fish. With just that, his HP was emptied and he died directly before he could make a sound.

“F*ck. Why is the damage so high?”

The situation took everyone by surprise.

Which player present was not fully equipped with Rare Grade gears?

Even Digital Cat, after considering the hazards and risks of the expedition, got herself a set of pure defensive, high HP Rare Grade equipment.

Under those conditions, ignoring everything else, it was probably impossible for anyone on the ship, barring Feng Luo who had awakened the Force, to kill anyone in one hit, no matter how strong they were.

However, a manipulator player, who had failed to cast an energy shield in time, had just died after receiving one hit from the flying fish.

Although the Flying Knife Swordfish had a slightly higher level, which was Level 45, it was an Elite Grade monster.

“The charging speed of these flying fish make their damage too high when they hit. Everyone, be careful and do not face them head-on. Heavy Armor Warriors, pay attention and protect the backline.” The commanding player’s voice remained calm as he immediately issued another command.

However, with regard to avoid facing the flying fish head-on, though it seemed like an easy thing to do, it was actually quite a difficult task.

The flying fish were flying at a speed close to a rifle bullet. At that moment, there were hundreds of such fish jumping out from the ocean surface every second.

With so many Flying Knife Swordfish, the silvery scales on their bellies reflected the light in the air, making it dizzying to just look at them! Additionally, their body structure that combined a swordfish and flying fish that gave them incredible speed made it possible for their suicide attacks to instantly kill players.

For the low-HP glass cannon professions, it was unbelievably hard for them to dodge the attacks of the fish while trying to attack them.

“Bang!”

“-3566!”

After initiating the Automatic Shooting mode, Feng Luo moved back one step and avoided the on-rushing charge of a Flying Knife Swordfish. He fired Wings of Death at the fish and directly turned the fish into a reddish mist.

With Feng Luo’s attack, even if he did not hit a vital or weak spot, he could still easily kill such Level 40 plus low-HP monsters in one shot.

“Bang, bang, bang...”

Feng Luo quickly turned around and continued firing from Wings of Death.

Every gunshot was accompanied by a Flying Knife Swordfish turning into a bloody red mist in the air.

However, since the HP of the Flying Knife Swordfish was too low, his attacks were similar to the attacks of other Sniper players.

Moreover, due to the chaotic battlefield, it was impossible for anyone to notice his accuracy. All these feats were not eye-catching to anyone anywhere, except for one place.

...

Inside the military boat’s cabin, a young player wearing a combat uniform with a unique badge pinned on it stood in front of a floating screen.

The floating screen was showing the constantly refreshed combat data, including kills and damage dealt by the players on the Flying Knife Swordfish, separated by the profession type.

“Water Manipulators, prepare Blizzard... Machine Gunners, fire at the spot 100 meters away from the boat...” The player issued commands through the regional comms channel while looking at the data on the screen. He spoke with calm and confidence.

Although the sudden appearance of the school of Flying Knife Swordfish was not easy to deal with, it was a good opportunity to let the players on the ship work together.

After all, by the time they arrived at the destination, they might directly encounter the players from North City; by then, the group’s coordination and co-operation familiarity were also going to be an important variable.

...

The positive of centralized command and coordination began to show. The battle started with some panic on the player’s side, and by then, the situation had stabilized as players began to fight calmly, and they even gained the upper hand.

“Boom! Boom!”

After the Fire Manipulators’ Level 40 ultimate skill Meteor Rain was released, a huge number of fireballs emitting black smoke descended from the sky and devoured the flying fish beneath that entire area.

Although the damage of fire element skills was reduced significantly due to the ocean environment, the high-temperature fireballs that had reached the Expert Level were still strong enough to roast the weakest fins of the flying fish school.

Although the damage was not enough to kill them directly, they were sufficient to limit their flying capabilities. The flying fish lost their fins and fell back into the ocean before they could reach the military boat.

“Ta, ta, ta...”

The attacks of the Machine Gunners covered an area around 100 meters from them. The spot was where the density of Flying Knife Swordfish was the highest.

The machine gun bullets turned that area into a “boiling” sea of red. As the bullets struck the ocean surface, water shot out into the air like water pillars.

“Rumble...”

The Wind Manipulators also shifted their target to that location at the same time.

They guided their complete “Tornados,” the Level 40 ultimate skills of the wind element to the location. The tornados were accurately set upon that location; the spiraling air created water tornados over a dozen meters tall as the air sucked the ocean water into the air. At the same time, many Flying Knife Swordfish were also sucked up into the tornados.

The tornados also disrupted the flow of water around the military boat. This caused the Flying Knife Swordfish to slow down, and even though some of them still reached the military boat, they were no longer capable of one-shotting players as they had lost their acceleration strength.

The Snipers, Scouts, Light Armor Warriors... Every player adhered to the command and worked together to fight.
