Chapter 238: Faction War Begins
Early the next morning, thirty minutes after the morning launch time, all the players who had gathered around the island of Levazer to recruit as part of Princess Jessia's faction popped up in the system window, and a message popped up to indicate the start of the mission.
[System Prompt: Princess Jeshia has led the army to prepare to leave Levazer Island, please set off as soon as possible with your companions, and assemble in the sea near the coordinates (xxx, xxx) within an hour. 】
[System Tips: Please note that in order to prevent formation congestion, all player ships participating in Faction Battles will turn off the autonomous control function when they approach the assembly area, and the boatman NPCs will automatically arrange themselves at the assembly point to form a formation according to the guidance of the system, and the order of arrangement is related to the order in which players arrive. 】
After the system prompt was issued, large and medium-sized ship groups such as Mu Tianxia and Xingyao Palace, because they had anticipated the chaotic situation that would occur when they set off, did not dock at all on Revaze Island but in the surrounding relatively empty seas, and there was also a high-level organization when they set off, so they would not appear panicked when setting sail, but like the ships of those small guilds and scattered teams, because they were unorganized, they almost crowded on the dock of Revaze Island, and at this time they suddenly fell into a mess.
Luckily, because the Coco sisters were the first to come to Revaze Island, and because of the mission, their team's ship has been allowed to dock in the harbor area dedicated to Princess Gethia's army these days, so they were able to avoid the most chaotic situation.
"The mission has begun."
On the deck, Sister Coco glanced at the friends standing around her.
"I have already explained our mission to you yesterday, although it is now before departure, do you still have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads, especially the Flash Bubbles.
"Well, we all know it, Sister Coco~ Na, if our mission succeeds this time, we will become the heroes of the Inland Sea, right?"
Coco's sister smiled at little Lori.
"Well, if everything really goes well."
"Oh~!"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the others, Sister Coco nodded, and then spoke.
"Then, let's go, according to the plan discussed yesterday, let's go and merge with the ship group of the Star Hall and Mu Tianxia first, and strive to arrange the formation there according to the plan in advance before a large number of scattered players arrive at the assembly point."

An hour later, in the middle of Revaze Island and Neptune Island, in the emptiest sea area in the heart of the Hydra Islands, the Hydra Royal Guards and the player fleet gathered in the name of Prince Yekal were on the west side, and the Order Coalition with the Elders' House Guards and Patrol Navy and the player fleet gathered in the name of Princess Jeshia were on the east side, and the two sides gathered on the predetermined battlefield as promised, forming a huge confrontation situation.
In the past, although the battle of defending the holy city was also an out-and-out big scene, because the players stayed on the city wall and waited for the undead army below to attack in batches, most of the battle scenes that players could see and feel were mainly local battles that took place in this section of the city wall where they were stationed.
However, this time in the naval battle of the Hydra Islands, due to the absence of the tall city walls, players, especially those who arrived early and the ships were lined up in front, as long as they looked up on the deck, what they saw was almost all the countless ships and friendly players of different shapes around them, and if you looked at the distance on the opposite side, you could clearly see that the one belonging to the opposite side was composed of a number of well-known large guilds in the game and countless small and medium-sized guild casual players. Towards the hostile camp that exudes hostility and warlike intent on this side.
The sense of presence brought by such a situation was almost twice as much as that of the previous Holy City Guard battle, and even a calm character like the Ice Archer couldn't help but let out a voice full of exclamation at this moment.
"Huh...... So we'll break through this formation later......"
"What's wrong, a little scared?"
The ice shooter's first reaction was that his enemy Qingmei ran over to raise the bar with him again, but when he turned his head, he was a little surprised to see the face of the most honest and taciturn tall nut in the team.
"Hey, Brother Gao has actually learned to joke too."
Gao Nut smiled and patted the cold archer on the shoulder but didn't say anything more.
"But, to be honest, I'm afraid I can't say it, but I'm really a little nervous, after all, this kind of scene is never seen in a lifetime in reality, not even a real movie," said him, and the ice shooter pushed his glasses and looked ahead again, "Then, thinking about the plan that Coco told us yesterday, tsk, although it was a little embarrassing, I actually thought the same as bubbles. ”
If they succeed, at least in the game, they can feel a little bit of the heroes in history who have decided some major historical moments, right?
Gao Nut smiled when he heard this.
“…… Me too. ”
"What, a conversation between men here?"
At that moment, the steel thorn who had come to the deck also approached curiously, and the ice shooter glanced at him.
"yes, because it's a conversation between men, boys don't get involved."
The steel floor stabbed for a moment, and realized that the Ice Shooter was jokingly teasing that he was the youngest of the three men in the team, and couldn't help but laugh and slapped the Ice Shooter on the shoulder.
"Brother Han, I'm a year younger than you."
After the three of them chatted on the deck for a short while, the hatch on the deck opened again, and Xingguo poked his head out of it.
"Three little brothers~ Sister Coco said that there was news from President Muyun in front of me that the conversation between Princess Jeshia and Yekal before the battle was about to end, and the battle was about to begin, so you should also get ready."
The Ice Archer turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xingguo with an awkward and unhappy look.
“…… Don't keep slamming the names you learned online at us. ”
Xingguo looked at the Ice Shooter with a smile.
"Then what, why don't I call you little brother after that?"
"Poof......
The steel stabbing in his back couldn't hold back his laughter, and then before the ice shooter glared at him, he quickly pulled the high nut who was covering his mouth and controlled his laughter and quickly slipped away.
“…… You......"
"What am I, don't hurry up and prepare!"
Looking at Xingguo who was pinching his waist and talking to him, the ice shooter suddenly remembered the appearance of his own mother who was always verbose, uh, how did his father do it at this time?
“…… Okay, okay, I know, I know, I know. ”
Impatiently coping, the Ice Shooter also turned around and walked towards his assigned position, looking at the Ice Shooter who was dealing with her like this, Xingguo seemed to think of something for a moment, and his face suddenly turned a little red, but he still laughed.
"You only need to say it once!"
“…… Cut, what a hassle. ”
At this moment, it was as if a huge thunderbolt had fallen from the sky, and from the side of the battlefield where the two sides were facing each other in front of him, deafening shouts and shelling exploded instantly.
Maybe it was because the ships in front of them were moving at the same time, or maybe it was simply because the sound was too strong, and at the same time as the sound exploded, the water surface of the entire sea area also began to fluctuate violently at the same time, and the ice shooter walking on the deck was careless, and his figure suddenly staggered.
"Be careful!"
"Don't come here if it's okay!"
Xingguo, who was still smirking at the back of the Ice Shooter, suddenly called out in a panic, but before she could run out, the Ice Shooter had already held on to the sail pole near him and stood still, and then turned to speak to her.
"The battle is on, we are on the deck, you guys be careful in the cabin!"
-----
If you look at it from a bird's-eye view directly above the sea, the distribution and movements of the formation of the Jeshia camp and the Yekal camp after the battle can be regarded as surprisingly consistent.
Whether it was the Hydra Guards on Yekal's side or the Order Alliance on Jeshia's side, although many small forces scattered and rushed towards the front line after the battle began, the main forces of the two armies, including Yekal and Jehya, the two supreme leaders, still stayed firmly behind the rear on both sides of the battlefield and had no intention of attacking the other side's entire line.
Instead, there are players assembled under the command of both sides. After the battle signal was given, the long-awaited players of this massive naval faction battle let out a passionate shout almost simultaneously, and then drove the ship and the surrounding friendly forces to charge towards the enemy line.
And before the battle of the Inland Sea camp, the duel between the two rival guilds, which was known as the biggest attraction, kicked off almost immediately after the war. Although the ships on both sides are lined up in the order of arriving at the assembly point, it can be regarded as an arrangement of the fate of the underworld to some extent, the Shepherd World and the Blood Fury Tribe, the Hall of Stars and the Dark Domain, these two pairs of large ship groups of the rival guilds are actually arranged on both sides of the NPC armies of the two sides, directly opposite each other or slightly deviated.
In the face of the old rivals, the ship groups of the four guilds and the core members of them did not need any morale encouragement at all, and they came up with 100% of their strength to start a death fight with the opponent.
With countless friendly forces behind them, the ships that rushed to the front could not turn around and cross the hull to carry out the shelling, so the first fleets of both sides collided directly with each other, and then a tragic boarding battle began.
Compared with the melee of the ship group centered on the four major guilds on the two wings of the array, and the central area of the array dominated by small guilds and scattered players, the battle is a little less fierce and a little more chaotic, although the number of people here is not less than the two wings, and it should even be said that there are more, but because everyone is fighting on their own, it is difficult to form a local battlefield with a stable scale for a while.
The brilliance of boarding battles, artillery bombardments, and various magic and martial arts flashed on the Inland Sea under the background of artillery fire, and the camp war in the Inland Sea had just begun, and it had entered a white-hot stage.
