The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 542 The boss is here! Pull the boat over! (Seeking monthly votes)
When the news came out in the Caribbean Lookout that the British Royal Navy had sent an admiral to reinforce Port Royal, everyone was very curious.

Many people are squatting in Royal Port, hoping to get some boss information in advance.

But this legendary general never showed up from beginning to end, and no one knew what he was busy with day by day.

Without achievements, there is naturally no prestige.

Even the NPCs in the Royal Port don't take this so-called "general" seriously, let alone the players.

No one cares about this distant appearance.

Both sides were waiting for their troops to gather, and when they felt it was almost time, they started shooting at each other!
——It is impossible to be fully present.

There are simply too many people, and most of them are naturally free-spirited players, so it's impossible for them to follow any rules or regulations.

If you feel it’s about the same, then just start fighting!
Densely packed solid iron bullets flew across the vast ocean and hit the opponent.

This kind of random bombardment poses almost no threat under normal circumstances, and the hit rate is even mysterious.

But players just love to join in the fun. Even though they know that gathering together will greatly increase the probability of being hit by shells, they still like to gather at a not-too-far distance and visit each other and chat.

So when the bombardment began, some ships happened to appear in the flight path of the shells.

Ten days ago, players could only squat and pray that the shells would not hit themselves, the mast, keel, ammunition compartment or other vital parts.

But after three days of separation, we should look at each other with admiration.

What’s more, it’s been 10 days now?
On the front warship, General Longcheng, who had already reached level 7, saw the oncoming shells but did not dodge.

A fully charged [Thunder and Wind] was fired towards the cannonball!

His limit-breaking skill has been upgraded to level 3, and its power completely surpasses the wind control ability of the [Ring of Purity]—

The wind and thunder stirred the air around him, carrying him to a height of more than three meters in an instant. His fist wrapped in wind and lightning smashed into the speeding cannonball!
"Oh!"

With a dull crash, Longcheng Feijiang flew backwards in an instant, hit the broad mast heavily, and then slowly slid down along the mast.

With a "puff", a mouthful of blood spurted onto the deck.

The scene was stunned for a few seconds.

The heroic sniper suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, you looked so handsome when you stood out. I thought blocking a shell was a piece of cake for you!"

The others laughed along.

The Dragon City Flying General spat out another mouthful of blood: "Just tell me whether you were able to block it or not?"

Of course it was blocked.

Under the "speed" and "explosion" effects of [Thunder and Wind], the solid iron ball was knocked off balance by his punch, flew out at an angle, and passed by the warship.

At the same time, players above level 5 on ships near and far took action one after another to intercept the shells.

Someone raised his hand and cut out a stream of water to hit the cannonball, reducing its flying speed.

After being hit by the decelerated shells, they couldn't even penetrate the deck.

Some people's muscles bulged out, and they stood in a horse stance and used their bodies to block the shells!

Others used larger swords and hit the incoming projectiles like baseballs.

Although he couldn't hit the ball away, he could still ensure the safety of the warship under his feet at the cost of being injured.

……

Various fighters who mastered limit-breaking skills appeared one after another.

——In the past 10 days, more and more players have been stuck at the level 5 threshold.

We have to find opportunities to break through this bottleneck.

The most reliable method currently recognized is to go to the doldrums, ride the periodic eruptions of the ocean jets to rush up to the clouds, and be struck by a few lightning bolts by the boss of Sky Island.

If you do it a few more times, there will be a chance to break through the bottleneck.

Because of this promotion channel, the default state in the Calm Belt is now a ceasefire.

You can fight and kill as much as you want outside, but you must stop once you enter the calm zone!

If you dare to mess around, you will be hunted down by everyone!

Thanks to this channel, we are able to steadily produce hundreds of players who have mastered extraordinary skills and broken through the level 5 bottleneck.

Although these people are still unable to intercept without injury, it is far from being easy and comfortable.

But it did effectively reduce the lethality of the shells.

Both sides had anticipated this result, and they began to move forward at full speed while firing their cannons!
The shells are used to create an atmosphere for naval battles. If you really want to win, you still have to rely on boarding battles!
Moreover, if the boarding battle is won, the gains will be far greater than that from bombardment.

——A sunken ship is of no value.

After a while, both sides rushed to the range of about one hundred meters, and the hit rate and lethality of the artillery shells began to increase.

But the extraordinary players stopped taking action and began to restore their health and adjust their status.

Within a range of ten meters, anxious players have already pulled the ropes hanging from the mast and swung towards the opponent's warship!

Yan Luo, one of the commanders of this naval battle, shouted:
"Music! Start!"

Then, a burly, shirtless player at the bow of a warship in the third line raised his drumstick.

In front of him stood a huge drum with a diameter of nearly one and a half meters!
After hearing the command from the command channel, he raised his drumstick without saying a word.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As soon as the leading drum sounded, 50 shirtless drummers on the deck raised their drumsticks at the same time and followed the rhythm of the leader drum, beating the big drum "boom boom boom"!

At the same time, six warships began to beat drums!

At first, the drum beats were a little uneven.

But as the drum sounds spread in the sea breeze, the drummers quickly adjusted themselves to make the drum beats uniform.

Then, on the vast ocean, the heart-stirring sound of drums rumbled!
Amid the sound of drums, the warships of both sides crossed each other!

The Caribbean Republic's fighters marched to the beat of drums and roared as they charged towards the Free Alliance players:
"kill!!"

"Kill him!"

"Should I kill him or his mother?"

"Kill them together!!"

……

There was a burst of gunfire.

But unless it is an expensive and rare high-level firearm or special bullet, ordinary flintlock rifles can hardly pose a fatal threat to level 5 players.

Extraordinary players above level 5 don't take it seriously.

As the main anchor, the brave sniper was pointed at by more than a dozen guns the moment he boarded the ship, and the sound of gunfire rang out.

He had just shouted "Hello, everyone" when a lead bullet hit his mouth.

The little tongue flicked and a strong feeling of vomiting came over me.

He pinched his neck and bent down with a "vomit" sound, retching and coughing continuously.

It took a lot of effort to spit out the deformed lead bullet.

There was still a strange sweet taste in my throat.

[Damage offset]: Remove the weak point, and all damage to the fatal parts will be offset. (Currently lv.2, physical damage offset 40%, non-physical damage offset 20%)

Huanyue rushed forward with a knife under the gunfire.

But the bullets shot at him would be pulled by the double swords, changing the shooting angle.

[Attack and Defense]: You can diffuse damage while attacking.

……

Due to the existence of extraordinary skills, there will be a huge gap in strength between players above level 5 and below level 5.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to kill an enemy at a higher level.

Brave Sniper, Phantom Moon, Orange Juice, Dragon City Flying General... rushed into the enemy team and started slashing wildly.

At the same time, the extraordinary players of the Free Alliance were also killing each other in the team of players below level 5 in the Caribbean Republic!

However, the number of extraordinary people on both sides was too small, and they could not determine the outcome of the battle on a large battlefield with hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of people fighting.

The final solution still depends on a large force!
But at this time there was no formation, and the ships of both sides were mixed together.

The players were so obsessed with killing that they could only take care of the team around them.

As for the overall situation...

Not to mention the Free Alliance with its chaotic command system, even the Caribbean Republic with a fixed command center was at a loss.

I can only keep summarizing information and barely grasp the situation on the battlefield.

It is pure wishful thinking to want to mobilize and command efficiently and accurately.

……

Just as the drum beats became more and more intense, the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce, and the battlefield became a complete mess.

The admiral's battleship [Resolution] slowly sailed out of the port and slowly drifted towards the center of the battlefield.

The Free Alliance took no notice of the ship.

The Caribbean Republic Command, which maintained a minimum observation post, quickly discovered the ship.

However, at this time, there was no manpower available to deal with it, and they could only warn their own players in the direction of the [Resolution].

The players who were enjoying the killing didn't take it seriously and continued to kill each other.

It was not until the [Resolution] approached within fifty meters that both sides were forced to turn their eyes away.

This time, I suddenly discovered:

The mysterious admiral actually left the protection of the port navy and came to them "alone" with a ship of "miscellaneous soldiers"!
Niiiko was overjoyed!

"Pull the boat over! Pull the boat over quickly!"

"Boss delivered the goods to my door!!"

At the same time, Fang Shuo on the boat 20 meters away was also surprised!

"Brothers! Stop fighting! Grab the boss!"

"We can't give the boss to them!"

Both sides stopped fighting at the same time and rushed towards the boss who came to their door excitedly!
