CHAPTER 1743: CHAPTER 58: THE BEGINNING OF CHAOS

"Is this guy crazy or unaware of the danger?" The first mate looked at the ghost ship unexpectedly turning around, shocked and speechless, then a surge of anger welled up in him, feeling belittled by the enemy.

"Surround it and annihilate it!" Elizabeth calmly commanded, and the super cannon on the flagship began to roar, bombarding the ghost ship with large projectiles.

A protective shield formed by black fog unfolded, sparks flying everywhere upon the impact, causing the ship to sway slightly.

Female gunners carrying heavy cannons filled the deck, their neat Baroque-style clothes, knee-high boots, and bare legs providing an impressive visual effect, every bit as striking as Elizabeth’s soldiers, but even more valiant and imposing.

"Target at ten o’clock direction, open fire." Sophie commanded the combat with a bright shout.

Elizabeth’s warships were too many, requiring immense expenditure, so not every ship could be equipped with defensive props.

The unlucky fast ship targeted was swept into a frenzied barrage with a round of volley, riddled with holes.

"Cover it." Mirene maneuvered her vehicle to the front, simultaneously urging her companions to retreat, but it was too late; before she could block the shooting pathway, the ghost ship had completed two rounds of volleys.

Amid flying wood splinters, the warship began taking on water and started to sink, sailors screaming as they jumped into the seawater.

Elizabeth remained unmoved, the fleet unfolding in an arc to encircle the ghost ship.

"It’s really getting intense out there." Buddha Bead Man watched the battle, knowing Elizabeth’s dominant and prideful nature from past collaborations, realizing helping might result in getting blown up together, "Set sail, quickly leave."

"Captain, why not wait until they’re both heavily damaged?" the first mate suggested.

"Dream on, even a crippled team could annihilate us." Buddha Bead Man was very displeased, "FU~CK, where did they get a demon ship?"

The remaining sea ship started to retreat, but within ten minutes, a fleet appeared on the intended path, speeding towards them.

"Twenty ships, bad luck indeed." Buddha Bead Man felt frustrated, seeing the opposing fleet carrying the Five-Star Red Flag, suspecting it to be a China Region allied force, but recognizing the flagship’s commander unsettled him.

"Why are you standing still, speed up and escape!" Buddha Bead Man yelled in fury.

"Launch interception skill." Mu Nianqi in her red military uniform looked intensely cool, white-gloved hands holding a telescope, spotting Buddha Bead Man’s panicked face.

Like a rocket shell, the flagship suddenly accelerated, slicing through over two thousand meters of ocean surface, intercepting Buddha Bead Man’s route.

Bang, bang!

The heavy cannon thundered, creating big holes on the sea ship.

"Trojan, it’s unfair, why did the Warhammer Team get all the demon ships?" Buddha Bead Man, seeing other warships rapidly approaching, realized his escape chances were slim, losing composure, and began lamenting.

Mu Nianqi lazily waved her right hand.

The warship volleyed, her tactics simple: sinking the flagship, killing the group leader, meant the team, even if escaped, would pose no threat.

Under the dense barrage, Buddha Bead Man had no chance to resist.

"Don’t fire, I have important intelligence to tell you." Buddha Bead Man pleaded.

"Want to tell me Tang Zheng’s whereabouts? No need, I already know." Mu Nianqi’s gaze fell on the ocean where a dolphin had just swum past.

This was a prop bought by Queen Mu, capable of scouting enemy positions.

Within just five minutes, Buddha Bead Man’s flagship was sunk; he wished to dive into the seawater to escape, but never expected the Warhammer Team’s conquerors to be so formidable.

Before Buddha Bead Man could jump into the water, a massive blue lightning bolt suddenly appeared, striking him, electrifying his hair upright.

Crash, within a hundred-meter radius, the ocean froze into ice blocks, Buddha Bead Man hitting the ice, feeling a headache, intending to smash away to escape, but the ice layer spread, freezing his body.

Li Xinlan’s ability was Ice Age; the ocean was her main battlefield, freezing the seawater, like blooming roses, sprouting from Buddha Bead Man’s body.

Ruan Feifei’s lightning continuously attacked, thoroughly electrocuting Buddha Bead Man into pitch black charcoal.

Lu Fan was also busy, rushing to support Tang Zheng, the fiery stardust from the magic wand brimmed with energy, ultimately detonating Buddha Bead Man into oblivion.

"Captain, another fleet is approaching." The first mate reminded.

"Second fleet, third fleet engage." Following Mu Nianqi’s semaphore, three-fourths of the sea ships turned around, heading towards the enemy fleet.

"This guy is truly conceited, thinking such small forces could sink the ghost ship?" Jiang Xiuming scoffed, Elizabeth truly looked down on people.

Lu Fan flew into mid-air, the magic wand gathering energy, forming a dazzling light ball at the tip, like the Sun, followed by a massive light beam shooting out.

Powerful thermal energy, even the nearby seawater evaporated, white steam filling the air.

Boom, a warship was struck in the midsection, breaking into two pieces.

Mirene threw out a crow, it was a virus doll, given life by her.

The crows noisily grabbed Mirene’s shoulders, lifting her into the sky, charging towards Lu Fan.

"Mirene, come back." Elizabeth shouted, her sister wasn’t trained for aerial combat, she would absolutely be crushed by Lu Fan in his magical girl attire.

Nightmare Loli didn’t listen to her sister this time, she pulled out the Hand of Akmond, transforming into the Gatling Machine Gun, and started firing at Lu Fan.

The machine gun didn’t shoot bullets, but coconut-sized light beams, with explosive power dozens of times that of heavy cannons.

The sea surface was filled with water columns rising from the explosions.

The two lolis were locked in fierce combat, fighting as if the heavens and earth were plunged into darkness.

Mu Nianqi, upon seeing Elizabeth, who she had long wanted to compete against, immediately launched a full attack command.

"Tang Zheng, stop it, there’s no need to fight to the death with the Seed Team!" Jiang Xiuming saw both warships continually sinking and got anxious, "With our strength, we could easily crush any other team, there’s no need to destroy the Great Wall ourselves."

"Both Tang Zheng and Elizabeth are proud people, they absolutely won’t propose a ceasefire first, so this naval battle must have a winner." Yin Shangwu understood deeply, "So don’t waste your breath."

"A bunch of lunatics." Jiang Xiuming felt helpless, angrily spitting blood.

"Please note, the third game is nearing its end, reversal time is starting."

"For the next five days, there will be the Sea Monster Killing mission."

"Each sea monster is valued at three hundred points, the top three hundred teams will automatically advance, those behind will be completely wiped out, regardless of survival."

"Therefore, teams are urged to fight fiercely."

The wristwatch suddenly sounded a hint tone, promptly delivering Trojan’s latest announcement.

"Damn, isn’t this just screwing us over?" Jiang Xiuming was annoyed.

Besides the total points leaderboard, the third game also had a single event leaderboard, with the undisputed top ranker Moscow Believes in Tears, leading the second place team Di Jingfei by over three thousand points.

The Warhammer Team ranked twenty-sixth, with small gaps ahead and behind them, if they kill too few sea monsters, they might be overtaken.

Beep beep, the wristwatch rang twice, revealing a sea map, with a red dot indicating the location of the sea monster.

"Trojan just wants teams to fight more brutally." Yin Shangwu pointed out Trojan’s malicious intent directly.

The sea monster’s location being marked would draw more teams in, to steal the monster, fierce battles were inevitable.

"Some top-ranked teams might get caught in chaotic fights over the monster, weakening their strength and getting bombed." Jiang Xiuming prayed, "Let’s hope we don’t encounter the War King’s fleet, otherwise, even if you’re ranked second, it’s useless."

The announcement interrupted the naval battle, both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, heading together towards the sea monster’s location.

Mu Nianqi wasn’t a reckless woman, her goal was to clear the Holy Land, and upon seeing the potential changes in the game, she gave up on killing Tang Zheng.

The two little lolis fought fiercely, steam rising.

"Stop, I want to find my sister." Mirene snorted, "Next time I’ll fight you again."

"Alright then." Having not seen Tang Zheng for so long, Lu Fan missed him dearly, and since they couldn’t decide the winner easily, the little loli didn’t want to waste time anymore.

"Sister, why not use skills to shake them off?" Mirene landed on the ship, very displeased, "If it weren’t for the ocean, I would certainly blast that nasty little girl, proving that I’m the strongest."

"If I leave, what would happen to you all?" Elizabeth’s warship Demon Ship had short dash abilities, but she cared more about her subordinates’ safety.

"Uncle!" Lu Fan fell from the sky, clung to Tang Zheng, and kissed him loudly.

"Isn’t Dantai with you?"

Mu Nianqi’s fleet came together, and through the telescope, Tang Zheng saw the captains of each ship.

"No." Lu Fan looked at this ship, full of curiosity, "Is this the Ghost Ship? It’s ranked sixth on the Magic Ship List."

"Magic Ship List?" Dong Zixuan was puzzled.

"Here." Lu Fan tossed out a token, "This is a bought prop, every Magic Ship will be displayed on it."

"Damn, I thought our luck was good enough, but I didn’t expect something even better." Jiang Xiuming looked at the list of nearly twenty magic ships, angrily spitting blood.

"How did you manage to board a warship?" Yin Shangwu looked at those busy soldiers, frowning slightly.

"We staged a kidnapping, captured a Grand Duke’s daughter, then rescued her, plus bribed some military officers, and got a captain position." Lu Fan laughed, "Hijacking a ship ourselves was troublesome, we staged an incident, killed the original fleet commander, and with threats, who dared to compete with Mu Nianqi?"

"Elizabeth’s warship was also obtained like this?" Jiang Xiuming cursed himself for being so foolish, being a soldier was far more glamorous than being a pirate.

"No, she somehow procured an ancestry book proving her aristocratic origin, plus she’s beautiful, making a powerful prince fall for her, the outcome was predictable." Lu Fan spread his hands, Elizabeth, as a member of the British royalty, had inherent advantages, she didn’t need to resort to deceit, her very presence was enough to conquer many, not to mention she was very capable herself.
