Were the players crazy? Of course not. At least, this was what they themselves thought.
“D*mn, boss, this thing can’t be broken open!”
“What should we do now? The health medicine is being used up so quickly. This isn’t a solution. We have to think of other ways!”
Sound couldn’t be transmitted in space, but players had independent communication systems that weren’t hindered.
Moreover, their sense of realism was adjusted to the lowest level so they didn’t feel the pain of suffocation. Instead, they were affected by various negative states and their health dropped very quickly.
They just drank a bottle of health medicine and restored their health to full, but after a while, the health bar dropped to half again.
The even more unfortunate thing was that the hull of the battleship was too hard. Even though they smashed it for a long time and their weapons’ durability was almost gone, the battleship was still intact without any damage at all.
However, this discovery was also exciting.
Wow, they would really be rich if they could get their hands on this battleship!
“There is glass over there. Teams two and three, go and try.” The leader of the mercenary group gave an order and asked again in the global channel.
“Brothers, can you come back to this battlefield if you die?”
In order to win this tough battle, the players had made a lot of preparations. In their opinion, the third largest star thief organization in the universe sounded very cool.
There were at least four battleships, thousands of mechas and countless high-tech weapons. It was extremely difficult for the Roland Empire to win this battle.
However, the leader of their faction, His Majesty Snow, didn’t seem to be panicked.
After getting them ready for the battle, they were turned into cards and placed into boxes.
No one knew how His Majesty Snow did it, but as soon as the card status was lifted, they were thrown into the battlefield.
They disintegrated the enemy directly from within. Before the enemy ships entered Escher Star, they took the initiative and launched a violent attack!
Everyone’s emotions were aroused, and they tried their best to gain enough benefits from this battle.
Moreover, such an exciting space battle was a very rare gaming experience even if they didn’t get a lot of rewards!
The most unlucky ones were the mercenary group members thrown into outer space.
The team leader asked in the global channel, but few people had time to pay attention to him. Even those who responded casually said they didn’t know or weren’t sure.
After all, the battle had just begun.
Even if some players had died, they wouldn’t rush to return to the city to resurrect.
They could still record videos when lying dead!
Others weren’t thrown into outer space like this mercenary group, so they naturally wouldn’t have the same troubles.
Seeing that no one paid attention to them, the team leader had to give up.
“We can’t come back, right? According to the consistent logic of Starry Sky Age, His Majesty Snow must’ve paid a heavy price to teleport us here.”
One of the team members said while chopping at the battleship.
However, the moment he finished speaking, a notification suddenly popped up in the void in front of them.
[His Majesty Snow has established temporary teleportation circles on four enemy ships. The braves can enter the enemy ships through the teleportation circles in various main cities to fight.]
[Brave warriors, charge the enemy! Roland will be your most powerful shield!]
Everyone who saw this message, regardless of whether they were blocked in space or in battleships, cheered.
“His Majesty Snow is awesome!”
“As expected of the leader of our faction!”
“Go go go, die quickly and return!”
“No, it is a rare trip to space. I naturally have to have some fun before I die!”
So the mecha master, who was hiding in the distance and observing secretly, saw these dozens of strange humans suddenly stop swinging their weapons. One by one, they rolled and jumped in space.
That cheerful look…
They were becoming more and more like psychopaths.
Then he watched helplessly as the group of lunatics drifted further and further away in the universe until they suffocated to death.
The mecha master’s face was full of question marks.
Who were these people? How did they get to this space? Did they come from that strange box? Why did they look so happy when they were obviously dying of painful suffocation?
However, these questions were destined to remain unanswered.
The moment their health bar was emptied in space, the mercenary group decisively returned to the city.
Of course, there were one or two exceptions.
It was because someone suddenly came up with a suicidal idea.
“How big is the map of Starry Sky Age? If we drift in the universe, will we touch the boundary?”
“This is just a war instance, right? How can there be no boundaries?”
“What if? Starry Sky Age claims to be 99% realistic! So far, apart from the trial grounds, there has been no other dungeon-like gameplay in the game.”
Therefore, driven by this spirit of exploration, two players didn’t choose to resurrect. Instead, they let their bodies continue to drift in space after death.
As for whether they would have any adventures in the future, this was still unknown.
For the team members who chose to revive and return to the main city, they excitedly left the birth point and saw that the teleportation hall next door was surrounded by people. They had to queue if they wanted to enter.
This scene took place in front of the teleportation halls of all the main cities.
The four battleships were large in size, but it was still difficult to accommodate more than two million players. Therefore, there was naturally a limit on the number of places.
Fortunately, the casualty rate of players was also high. There were vacancies every minute and every second, which were then filled by new players.
Then the star thieves on the battleships discovered…
This group of people was really weak, but they had all types of strange abilities. They were also like cockroaches and couldn’t die!
The moment one wave died, another one came!
The interior of a battleship wasn’t suitable for large mecha combat. In addition, mechas had limited energy and weapons and ammunition were consumables. In such high-intensity combat, they were quickly used up.
The moment the star thieves approached the armory in order to replenish their ammunition and energy, they found out—
F*k! Such a large armory was about to be emptied in such a short time!
This was also one of the reasons why players had a high casualty rate.
After all, the backpack capacity was limited, and players didn’t have items like space capsules. Faced with such a large armory, how could they empty it?
The answer was naturally…
Show the spirit of ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way.’
After players filled their backpacks, they would run to the main battlefield to find mechas to die. Then they would return to the city and store the picked up supplies in the warehouse.
As the number of players increased, various functions to serve players gradually improved.
Xu Sili specially set aside an area for players to use as a warehouse.
Of course, they had to pay.
The warehouse was very convenient to use. Players could directly use the rented warehouse with a key, or they could send the things they wanted to store in the warehouse to the express points in each main city.
However, in the latter case, the items transmitted were in a disordered state. Therefore, players also needed to go to their own warehouses to sort them out regularly.
But compared to running back every day, this express point service was much more convenient. This was especially so at a time like now, where every second counted.
So now, the express delivery points were doing booming business.
The outcome of the battle was basically decided when Si Sheng swung the first sword.
Now the four battleships were under Xiao Wu’s control. As long as the players eliminated all the star thieves, this defense battle would come to a successful conclusion.
Xu Sili sat leisurely on the throne, playing with the scepter in his hand. Below, Xenos and the others watching the war through the live stream were still in a daze.
This battle…
Wasn’t it a bit too easy to play?
“Have you seen their mechas and equipment?” Xu Sili spoke for the first time.
“This is the gap between us and the interstellar space.”
As his voice rang out, everyone gradually restrained their expressions and sat up straight.
They watched the battle taking place inside the battleship, and saw the braves falling one after another under the attack of the mechas.
Even if the braves had a special talent that allowed them to be resurrected infinitely, such a scene could still be called tragic.
What if… there were no braves? What if the ones participating in this battle were their soldiers?
Everyone felt an unprecedented solemnity.
Xu Sili spoke again. “Of course, we have advantages that they can’t match.”
Once the various skills of elementalists were put to use in human warfare, the power they could unleash was absolutely terrifying.
However, Roland’s army had only dealt with the interstellar beasts before this. Therefore, few people had studied tactics in this area.
“We should pay enough attention to interstellar forces, but we don’t need to panic. After all…”
Xu Sili’s lips curled slightly.
“After this battle, probably no nation will dare to look down on the Roland Empire any longer.”
Everyone nodded. At this time, Xu Sili received another message from Xiao Wu.
He discovered that in addition to the four enemy ships, there was also a small spaceship hidden in the nebula. Since they were using an internal communication network, it would take Xiao Wu some time to invade it and he couldn’t determine their identity for the time being.
“Brother, there is a mecha sneaking over there. It seems like it wants to enter the battleship. Do you need Xiao Wu to blow it up into fireworks?”
The little boy’s excited voice rang out.
Obviously, the huge explosion of the Number One battleship didn’t satisfy Xiao Wu. After all, it wasn’t the ‘fireworks’ he had created with his own hands.
The mecha pilot hiding in space suddenly felt a chill go down his spine.
