Chapter 86 Big Battle!
"These stinky brothers in the South Territory, is this the only fighting power they have?"
"Fight back! Haven't you eaten yet?"
"I just drove the starship over and fired a blast, killing them instantly! They were screaming like ghosts and howling like wolves, it was so cool!"
With the joint crossing of the 40 million player army in the Northern Territory, a large-scale invasion attack was launched.
Crazy harvesting of heads of players from the southern region on the ten spiral arms of the Wei Yang Galaxy.
In the originally quiet and dark universe, flashes of light burst out one after another.
Every flash of light almost meant that a planet was completely slaughtered.
Soon, more and more Northern Territory players started shouting in the channel.
The situation is also one-sided.
The Northern Territory is home to three major guilds, all of which are at the sixth level, so its appeal is naturally self-evident.
In contrast, the top guilds in the Southern Region are only at level five, which is far behind those in the Northern Region.
Moreover, even if several top guilds wanted to join forces, it was difficult to unite the morale of the troops because their strength on paper was clearly inferior to that of the Northern Territory.
There are many escapists among the players in the Southern Region.
These groups, with their main goal being to protect their own interests, fled to the very end of the galaxy's spiral arm with their core civilization, randomly finding a planet to live on in order to earn more copy points.
As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the players in the Northern Territory become more and more courageous. If they encounter each other on the road, they will join forces to launch an attack.
The players in the Southern Region were like a pile of loose sand, losing more and more battles until their army was completely routed.
The space annihilation war lasted until the third hour.
The total score of the Northern Territory has soared to 3 million points.
The Southern Region only had a pitiful 900,000 points.
"Good, keep it up." Shuraji glanced at the frequent good news sent by the allied forces and nodded slightly.
Initially, his idea was to unite 40 million players to hunt down Xu Mu in the entire Wei Yang system.
But after discussing with the presidents, I felt that this was too difficult.
Even though the player base in the Northern Territory is 40 million, it is extremely difficult to accurately locate a single person among the hundreds of billions of Weiyang players.
Then, the top leaders of the Northern Territory chose another tactic.
Annihilate the Southern Territory!
Instead of looking for Xu Mu on purpose, he focused on killing players from the Southern Region!
Xu Mu's civilization index is almost impossible to surpass, which is a fact that all the presidents of the Northern Territory have accepted.
However, the North Territory can get first place in the total score by strangling other players in the South Territory.
Continue to ensure the benefits brought by the winning streak.
Of course, Shuraji also asked the presidents to pass on the order in advance.
If you encounter a planet with a highly developed civilization during a war of annihilation, don't rush to alert the enemy.
For this kind of highly civilized monster, we must gather everyone's strength to crush it!
Throughout the space annihilation war, not all players in the Southern Territory gave up hope.
About 2/3 of the players are active on various planets mainly in the form of guerrilla warfare.
First, conceal your own planet. If you observe a starship flying over in the Northern Territory, report its cosmic coordinates immediately.
The channel for reporting points naturally cannot use the built-in channel of the arm.
Instead, the major guild channels in the Southern Region were used as the communication medium.
Once the enemy's path is confirmed, Ikaros will be sent into warp flight mode carrying a heavy nuclear bomb and follow behind.
After approaching the enemy starship, use self-destruction to exchange for the enemy starship -1.
Although this style of play is relatively inefficient, it is indeed a helpless move.
After all, the impact of the civilization's first-launch rewards is greater.
The first civilizations of the ten spiral arms are almost all firmly occupied by the Northern Territory.
Especially after Ikaros unlocked the interstellar navigation stage, the gathering of players from the Northern Territory Grand Guild made the civilization's first-launch rewards even more occupied.
About 70% of the first 10,000 players' rewards were taken by Northern Territory players.
There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
The fifth hour of space battle.
North Territory Score: 5,410,122
South Region Score: 1,271,879
"What the hell, what the hell is this!" The Southern Region Falling Moon Guild, which is mainly stationed on the planet, a Southern Region player who unlocked the second place in the civilization starter in the Industrial Civilization Era, obtained the ability [Interstellar Insight]
You can see the movements of players within about the distance of a spiral arm.
He had just observed it with his own eyes on a giant planet three light years away.
Our 200-man squad with sufficient firepower was instantly crushed into pieces by the helium explosion attack mode of the enemy interstellar battleship.
It happened in a flash, and the huge gap made him feel despair.
"The starship bonus is really terrifying! But there is no such option in our production blueprint. It's really not on the same level!" complained the observing player.
"The development of civilization is like a snowball. Whoever stands at the commanding heights will be hit by a dimensionality reduction attack. You should have been mentally prepared for this." Luo Haoxian, the new president of the Luoyue Guild, said in a deep and calm voice.
As the third place in the previous "Detroit" copy, he benefited a lot from that S-level copy and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. The old president took advantage of the opportunity and handed over the leadership of the guild to him, and started a retirement mode of traveling and enjoying the scenery.
At this moment, Luo Haoxian suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that an Ikaros was landing from the air, dragging another mechanical mecha with all its limbs broken off, leaving only a square iron body.
"Report to the President! The defense of planet N267 has failed! We have abandoned that planet!" the mecha pilot hurriedly reported.
“What is this…?” Luo Haoxian looked slightly puzzled.
Soon, a dusty player emerged from the square iron-body mecha.
"Um... this is his friend." The subordinate hesitated slightly.
Luo Haoxian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell the truth."
After hesitating for a moment, the guild member finally revealed the whole truth.
The player brought back was an enemy from the Northern Territory.
But in the space annihilation battle just now, the starship was shot down by players from the Southern Region.
Since the direction of the collision was the ocean, the enemy soldier from the Northern Territory was not killed.
As soon as he showed his head, he was intercepted by his men who were hiding nearby.
When his subordinates brought him back, the two chatted casually along the way and found that they had similar interests and had a great time talking to each other.
This player also expressed from the bottom of his heart that if he goes back this time, he will definitely not participate in the Southern Region Annihilation War again, but will find a small planet to stay on and wait for the end of the dungeon.
His subordinates began to feel compassion.
However, the enemy's mecha was severely damaged when it crashed, and in order to repair it, it is necessary to return to the main planet of the Falling Moon Guild to get materials.
The two of them secretly discussed returning to the planet to get some materials.
As soon as he landed, he was stopped by Luo Haoxian.
After the whole process was explained, the player was calm and waited for the judgment to come.
The subordinate also sighed lightly and took two steps to the side.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Haoxian ordered others to bring repair materials.
"President...this?"
"Go get the materials for this little brother." Luo Haoxian smiled slightly: "The dungeon is a dungeon, and reality is reality. Since this little brother has made friends with the members of our guild and has promised not to participate in the next annihilation battle, let him go."
At this stage, mainstream players have all entered the information civilization era, and the materials for repairing Ikaros are relatively simple.
After a few minutes, the repair was completed.
"Let's go, remember to keep your promise. We still have a war to fight, so I won't accompany you for now." Luo Haoxian nodded to him.
The player wanted to control the mecha and leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned back and said.
"President Luo..."
He looked at Luo Haoxian's gentle smile, and then looked at the subordinate beside him with whom he had had a pleasant conversation.
Finally, he made up his mind and said, "I know how to build a starship!"
…
The Southern Territory finally has its own starship.
As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest.
After the first starship was successfully manufactured, Luo Haoxian quickly shared and spread the starship manufacturing blueprint.
The top leaders of the guilds began to use all their resources without reservation, and the number of starships began to increase rapidly like mitosis!
With starships, we will have the right to speak in space.
In the space annihilation battle in the previous few hours, the Southern Territory players who had been continuously bombarded and fleeing in panic finally stood up and began to fight back!
The situation is no longer as one-sided as it was back then, and the Southern Region is gradually gaining the ability to fight back.
After some discussion, the presidents of several major guilds decided to directly transmit the good news to the built-in channel of the dungeon.
Let more Southern Territory players who are still hiding see hope.
In fact, this move was quite successful.
Many escapists originally thought that the gap between the two sides was too great, and instead of fighting to the death, it would be better to hide and survive.
But now the gap is gradually being narrowed, although the final victory may not be achieved.
But with 10 million starships versus 8 million starships, at least it's not that hopeless.
As some escapist players returned to the team.
The Southern Region even slightly suppresses the Northern Region in terms of momentum.
Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched; it is a metaphysical theory at the psychological level.
But it can often determine the outcome of a battle.
Now the pressure has come to the Northern Region. Many players were stunned by the sudden rise and swift counterattack of the Southern Region.
"Ghost...what's going on with the players in the Southern Region? Why have they suddenly become so ruthless?"
"Could it be that God A provided them with technical support?"
"Damn! If this is true, something bad will happen if we continue to fight!"
Xu Mu's name had already spread throughout the Northern Territory before the dungeon began.
The performance in the copy is even better.
However, for 99% of the players in the Northern Territory, they have never seen the power of Xu Mu's civilization with their own eyes.
To what extent it has developed is anyone's guess.
Seeing the ferocious counterattack from the Southern Territory, everyone suspected that it was God A who took action.
The momentum that was as strong as a rainbow was instantly destroyed!
Passive defectionism also began to emerge within the coalition forces.
After hearing the news, all the presidents of the Northern Territory hurriedly held an emergency meeting to discuss the plan.
"Although our overall civilization index is higher than that of the Southern Region, and our score is now approaching the 8 million mark, the other side only has less than 4 million."
"But the other team is now catching up, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller."
"More and more players on our side of the coalition are beginning to waver."
"If we can't take it down in a short time, and it becomes a protracted tug-of-war."
"I'm worried..."
The presidents all talked one after another, but they couldn't come up with a good decision for a long time.
At this time, Shuraji, who was temporarily serving as the chief commander of space, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a deep voice.
"Everyone, your thinking is in error."
"What you are worried about now is also what all the players in the Northern Territory are worried about. It is the root cause of the low morale of the entire Northern Territory."
"The reason is that God A, whose civilization is far ahead of ours, has now personally joined the battle, contributed civilization technology, and started to turn the tide."
"But have you ever considered a question?"
After a pause, Shuraji smiled slowly and said, "God A, whose level of civilization is far higher than ours, used starships to fight us. What does this mean?"
Wow!
One word can cause a thousand waves!
The presidents reacted instantly.
"Fuck! What President Shura said is true!"
"He is so awesome, but the only technology he has provided to the Southern Region is the starship."
"This means that even if the civilization index has increased, it won't have much impact on combat effectiveness? He only upgraded scientific research equipment?"
“I feel the same way…”
"His ability to dominate the mid-term is Helium Flash, but now our starships have long been equipped with Helium Explosion Turrets. Even if he mass-produces starships now, their combat power is only equal to ours! But we in the North Territory have the advantage of the number of players!"
"That's right." Shuraji nodded with a smile: "Spreading this news to other players will be enough to stabilize the morale of the troops."
"Besides, there's something even bigger coming soon."
"Our first space-class battleship will soon be put into use."
"Its size is a hundred times greater than that of an interstellar battleship, and its firepower is even more powerful!"
"The most important thing is that we have concentrated 3 million logistics production line personnel and have unlocked antimatter particles. Each space-class battleship is equipped with an antimatter confinement cannon."
"This is a type of annihilation energy that is stronger than a helium explosion. The power of one shot is roughly equivalent to the moon hitting the blue planet."
"Even if God A unlocked it earlier than us and also obtained antimatter, his vision is too narrow, and he has been developing alone before."
"Now, it's too late for him to catch up with us."
"We are sure to win!" Shuraji made the final decision.
…
After owning a large number of starships, we have the means to fight back.
The morale of the Southern Region was greatly boosted, and they pursued the victory.
The Northern Territory players, who had not yet reacted, were caught off guard.
However, the situation often reverses in an instant.
After the first space-class battleship in the Northern Territory was put into use, its size was enough to cover the sky and the sun, like a giant ship slowly passing by the horizon.
If there are timid players, just one glance up is enough to trigger gigantic fear.
The antimatter cannon it was equipped with directly annihilated 100 starships in the Southern Region with one shot.
The emotion of fear completely broke out among the Southern Territory’s counterattack army!
"You can't win! There's no way you can win this!! The Northern Territory is full of fucking monsters!!"
"I don't want to fight anymore... What the hell is this? I'd better find a little broken ball to live on in my old age. If I can survive to the end of the dungeon, my evaluation score will be higher . Goodbye!"
"Disperse, disperse. We really can't fight this. We just developed the starship not long ago, and the other side has already sent out the spaceship..."
Similar sounds are proportional to the number of Northern Territory spaceships put into use.
Whenever news came out that a guild in the Southern Region had been completely wiped out, morale would drop a bit.
The players from the Northern Territory were almost able to deal damage to the player’s face.
"Scream! Your stinky little brother from the Southern Region! Keep screaming! Weren't you screaming happily just now?"
"Take my antimatter cannon! You country bumpkins, you must have never seen what antimatter is, right? Hahahaha!!!"
"The pleasure of crushing civilization! It feels so good!!"
"I declare! Your Southern Territory is finished! Surrender now!! We in the Northern Territory adhere to the humanitarian spirit and will not kill those who surrender. Instead, we will exile them to the sparsely populated area at the edge of the spiral arm to develop!"
At the same time, the main planet of the Falling Moon Guild.
Luo Haoxian frowned, and the hope in his eyes was not as bright as before.
Ikaros's tactic of self-destructing nuclear bomb is like primitive people with knives, guns, sticks and clubs fighting against gunpowder cannons.
The power of the gunpowder cannon has a limited coverage area. As long as you can use swords and guns to kill your way through the enemy without fear of death, and then drag the gunpowder cannon back for research, there may be hope.
But, now it’s a spaceship versus starship.
It's like someone who is still using gunpowder cannons encountering a nuclear bomb.
One nuclear bomb will directly destroy your entire tribe.
There is no opportunity for research at all.
"Alas." Luo Haoxian sighed slightly and lowered his arms: "I tried my best, but the gap is too big."
At this time, the main planet of the Kirigakure Guild.
Negative voices also permeated the entire guild.
"President, why don't we just run away? Before we are caught by the Northern Territory." A player suggested.
"If all players think like you, then we might as well not even participate in the Red Moon dungeon in the future." Lu Qianqian snorted unhappily.
This time in the Red Moon Guild, all the veteran guild masters from the Southern Region tacitly delegated power to their future successors, intending to train them well.
This time, Lu Qianqian served as the copy president of the Wuyin Guild.
"But the problem is that the gap is too big... so big that it makes people despair..." A player laughed bitterly: "If we go up now, we will just be giving away our heads."
"Besides, our civilization is not the best. The best guys don't show up, and we are shouting and killing here. We are just like clowns." Some players were indignant.
"You might as well explain yourself clearly." Lu Qianqian frowned.
"What else is there to say? I'm talking about God A! He's at the top of the list with a civilization index of 2.77, but we've been fighting in the space war for nearly eight hours and we haven't seen him make any moves!" As soon as one of the players finished speaking, it was as if firecrackers were lit, forming a chain reaction.
Many people started complaining directly.
"That's right! With great power comes great responsibility. It's a pity that our Southern Territory players trusted him so much in the beginning. He didn't contribute his civilization technology, but only thought about secretly gaining points by himself, fearing that others would surpass him."
"Pah! That's all there is to it!"
"That's enough!" Lu Qianqian said angrily, "How do you know that God A didn't help? He might be using different methods to protect the South Region."
As soon as the words fell, they immediately triggered more criticism and complaints.
"A different way? Where? Why didn't I see it?"
"I'm a little skeptical about whether Lu Qianqian can be a good president... At this time, why is she still speaking for God A?"
"Didn't God A have private contact with her before? Maybe they have been in love for a long time. She must be on God A's side."
"Maybe they returned the A-God reward after receiving it...they didn't take our Southern Region seriously at all."
Just as everyone was talking about it.
Suddenly, a shadow covered the sky and slowly approached.
Lu Qianqian raised her eyebrows and looked up, her face suddenly darkened.
The expressions of the players around him also changed drastically, and the complaints stopped abruptly.
Instead, there was chaos and war on the entire planet.
"Shit!! It's a spaceship from the Northern Territory!!"
“We’ve been discovered!!”
"Run! Run quickly!!"
"Run? How to run?" The Northern Territory player who was driving the spaceship looked down at the players on the ground who were running around like ants, and immediately smiled contemptuously.
Just as he was about to press the fire button of the antimatter cannon.
Suddenly, a blazing, dazzling light burst out from the distant deep space! !
He didn't even react, not even enough time to show a frightened expression.
In just a moment! The whole person evaporated into molecules!
Something as huge as a spaceship was turned into nothingness under this strong light!
It's not just spaceships.
Even the continuous mountains of this planet seemed to have been pierced with a big hole, as if a spoonful of it had been dug out!
This horrifying scene stunned all the players on the ground.
"No, no more?"
"No, I was just here... Where is such a big spaceship?"
"What's going on?? I just saw a very thick beam of light coming towards us, and it almost broke our Tropic of Cancer..."
Right now.
A sound of breaking wind came from far away.
“Bang!!”
Ikaros fell from the sky.
Inside the transparent cabin, an image in a white robe and windbreaker appeared before everyone.
"God A?" Lu Qianqian was extremely surprised.
Xu Mu had no time to care about other people's reactions, but instead controlled Ikaros to start the inspection.
"I feel like the angle just now is still a little off."
"Tsk, if it gets a little more crooked, the whole planet might be gone."
After pondering for a while, Xu Mu began to calibrate the angle of the interstellar logistics aircraft.
This was his first time firing a stellar cannon, and he was worried about the angle, so he drove at warp speed right after firing.
If you don’t proofread, it would be embarrassing if you kill both enemy and friendly forces.
However, after collecting this set of data, Xu Mu became more confident about the subsequent launches.
After staying on this planet for less than half a minute, Xu Mu controlled Ikaros again and flew away from the planet in an instant with a roar.
All the players were left standing there in amazement.
"What was he mumbling just now...I didn't understand..."
"What angle, what deviation..."
One player swallowed hard: "If I understand correctly, that super-doubled beam seems to be controlled by God A... From what he said, if the power is not controlled well, our planet will evaporate directly..."
"????"
"What kind of power is it that can evaporate a planet??? Is it from the sun?"
"What is the current level of civilization of God A..."
Everyone looked at each other, with dull expressions in their eyes.
They now somewhat agree with what Lu Qianqian said.
It seems that God A is indeed protecting the players in the Southern Region in a very special way.
But this method is a bit too special.
So much so that once the aim is off, everyone is doomed...
