Chapter 1409: 465. Siege Crisis_3
At the same time, a similar scene unfolded on each of the other ships carrying players.
Using Magic Scrolls, the players gained spell-casting abilities and launched fierce attacks on the ships’ control rights.
Before the Allied Fleet detected the rebellion, players had already seized control of no less than 50 ships.
Just as they were aggressively pushing the control sticks, flying at high speed toward the Fleet Commander’s ship, something unexpected happened!
The supervising officers within the fleet noticed some ships had lost contact and forcibly initiated a backdoor program in the ship’s computer systems, starting a struggle for control with the players.
This was all within Noland Lee’s expectations.
...
He summoned the Snow-winged Cat and shared the “Magic Vision” provided by the Magic Web Dao with it before sending Kitty into the vicinity of the battlefield.
Protected by the “Veil of Different Worlds,” Kitty transformed into a Spectral Ghost of electronic warfare on the battlefield.
It traced the communication signals of the supervising officers, forcibly severing the energy-like threads of communication and breaking the wireless connection between the supervising officers and their ships.
One moment, the players were sweating it out dealing with the supervising officers, and in next, they found the control of their ships back in their hands.
Without time to think, the players pushed their ships to the limit, charging fiercely toward the Fleet Commander’s fleet.
Several supervising officers piloting Artificial Angels, seeing the loss of communication with their ships, personally took control of the pilots to head toward the rebellious ships in an attempt to intercept them.
Cucumber Slice and his two companions locked onto the meddling supervising officers with their ship’s firing systems, unleashing volley after volley of cannon fire, while simultaneously accelerating into the roar of their engines toward the supervising officers.
Facing the interception by Cucumber Slice and his companions, the supervising officers raised their long spears, tips forward, firing rows of laser beams.
The majority of beams were aimed at the ships surrounding the Fleet Commander, with a few targeting Cucumber Slice and his companions.
Cucumber Slice was the first to reach the gap between the supervising officers and the rest of the players.
He positioned his ship sideways in front of the supervising officers, making as large a target of himself as possible in an effort to block more laser beams.
Winter Melon and Kelp, following suit, also placed their ships horizontally like Cucumber Slice, blocking the supervising officers.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Round after round of laser beams came hurtling toward them.
The supervising officers displayed exquisite shooting and piloting skills, controlling the Artificial Angels to easily carve arcs through space, diverting the laser beams past Cucumber Slice and his companions.
A few bright flames burst from among the player ships surrounding the Fleet Commander, revealing a slight flaw in their encirclement, but it was quickly filled by additional players arriving.
Seeing that placing his ship sideways was ineffective against the supervising officers, Cucumber Slice went all out with firepower, directing a barrage of fire at the surrounding Alliance ships that had yet to grasp the situation.
Without needing Cucumber Slice to elaborate, Winter Melon and Kelp naturally understood his intention and likewise attacked the “innocent” targets around them.
In order to stop Cucumber Slice and his companions, the supervising officers had to divide two Artificial Angels to deal with them, inadvertently easing the pressure on the players attacking the Fleet Commander.
“Brothers! Ignite!”
“Ignite!”
“See you at the United Bureau!”
The players completed their encirclement, and bursts of huge fireballs erupted from within the ships.
In less than two seconds, the Fleet Commander’s battleship was engulfed by a massive, resplendent azure blue super fireball.
[Task Success! Your team of players has killed the Fleet Commander!]
“Done!” noveldrama
Cucumber Slice clenched his fist and waved, excitedly shouting in the chat channel:
“Winter Melon, Kelp, retreat! We’re also going to ignite our ships and die back!”
“Roger!”
“Haha! Fireworks time!”
The three activated the ship’s explosion program.
Time passed, but the expected explosion scene didn’t occur.
Instead, the control console in front of Cucumber Slice and his colleagues seemed to come to life, opening its abyss-like maw and gobbling them up in one bite.
“!!!”
Noland Lee’s eyes widened as he detected the sudden presence of the Metal Ancestor Dragon on Cucumber Slice and their ships.
But, it was already too late.
