Amidst the chaotic barrage of comments, a red comment stood out.
“Ridiculous, I’d like to see how you survive my dungeon!”
Only then did the audience realize that the one posting the comment was Ito Hidekazu, the Designer of the Royal Sea Battle dungeon.
At this moment, Ito Hidekazu was lounging on a poolside chair in his luxurious villa, with several young women massaging his legs.
In this world, all resources were exchanged for dungeon points.
Being able to design a highly difficult dungeon meant being able to continuously extract points from other Challengers, ensuring a life of comfort and abundance.
Watching these greenhorns in his dungeon, not fleeing but fighting, preparing to directly attack the cruiser fleet, Ito Hidekazu felt both annoyed and amused.
“Just with an LV0 novice? Heh heh.”
“Do these people even know what naval warfare is?”
On Azure Star, the naval combat experience of their Great Harmony People was absolutely second to none.
To defeat the Great Harmony cruisers in the dungeon he designed was absolutely a pipe dream!
-----------------------------------
Inside the dungeon.
Lin Ye had already led the Challenger fleet to within ten nautical miles of the Red Sun cruiser fleet.
Seeing the enemy warships getting closer, Lin Ye directly issued orders via radio.
“All ships, listen up, form a single column, and immediately open fire on the matsushima!”
Hearing Lin Ye issue such an order, the several LV1 Challengers nearby all looked speechless.
“Are you kidding me? How can shells reach at this distance?”
“What a joke? Isn’t opening fire now a waste of gunpowder? Buddy, you’re going to get us killed.”
Listening to the doubts of the crew, Lin Ye roared back:
“The great battle is at hand! If you don’t want to be erased by the Sky Curtain, then you must listen to me!”
“Fire!”
The other Challengers had no choice; even if they were extremely unwilling, they could only obey the order.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With several cannon shots, Lin Ye’s war had begun.
The reason Lin Ye had his fleet attempt to open fire from outside the range was actually for one purpose: to gain the initiative.
From the very beginning of the dungeon, Lin Ye, by observing the enemy ships’ attack speed, immediately determined a crucial piece of information:
Ito Hidekazu’s understanding of naval warfare was quite childish.
Or rather, the general understanding of naval warfare in this world was relatively shallow.
In naval battles of this level, where neither side had overly powerful combat weapons, the competition was actually about speed.
The faster side could arrange their formation first.
Formation, in naval warfare, was about seizing the advantage in an engagement!
The Beiyang Fleet, back then, lost to the Little Rizi for many reasons: poor combat readiness, poor discipline, poor command, and so on.
But one of the most crucial reasons was their slow speed, which allowed the Little Rizi to set up their formation first and open fire first.
But today was different; the combat power of the fleet in Lin Ye’s hands was not weak. If they could open fire first and disrupt the enemy’s formation, the chances of winning were very high.
As expected, due to Lin Ye’s preemptive firing, the Red Sun cruiser fleet’s formation was indeed thrown into chaos.
This single step made all the difference, delaying the enemy’s battle opportunity, and from then on, they were completely suppressed by Lin Ye.
Since he had seized the initiative, Lin Ye naturally wouldn’t let it go easily!
He directly ordered all ships to unleash their full firepower.
They bombarded the matsushima.
…
Chaotic gunfire, flying torpedoes, and fireworks exploded on the Royal Sea.
In an instant, the surface of the Royal Sea was dyed red by the flames of war.
After about fifteen minutes of intense bombardment, the matsushima’s armor was utterly shattered.
A cannonball from the Dragon God directly struck the midsection of the enemy flagship, matsushima.
The matsushima’s steam engine exploded, and then a raging fire ignited on the warship.
Less than another fifteen minutes later, the matsushima sank completely to the bottom of the sea.
At the same time, a light screen appeared before Lin Ye and the Challengers:
“Dungeon Tip: matsushima has been sunk, dungeon mission complete!”
“Mission 2 completed, each Challenger receives 30 points.”
“Congratulations to all Challengers for the first clear of the dungeon! Your heroic deeds will be forever remembered by the Sky Curtain!”
“All surviving Challengers will receive an additional 30 points. Deceased Challengers will be exempt from this dungeon failure penalty and will also receive the radar scanning technology from this dungeon!”
“Given that matsushima has been sunk, the ‘Cowardice’ effect has been triggered. All Red Sun cruisers will flee the Royal Sea at maximum speed!”
Watching the enemy fleet flee in disarray, all the Challengers finally realized that the dungeon had truly been cleared.
Immediately, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the Challenger crowd.
“We actually won!”
“Oh my god, this is my first time clearing a dungeon, and I didn’t even feel like it was that hard, and we won!”
“This difficult dungeon doesn’t feel that difficult.”
Because it was a first clear, there was no penalty for this dungeon, and even the Challengers who unfortunately died in the naval battle were exempt from punishment.
Most surprisingly, the first clear reward also included radar scanning technology.
This was something that couldn’t be bought with any number of points.
It could be said that with this dungeon clear, every Challenger was a winner.
The Black guy who had desperately begged Lin Ye to take him at the beginning now rushed to Lin Ye again, grinning and showing his white teeth as he expressed his gratitude.
“Lin Ye! My god!”
“Lin Ye, you are an eternal god!”
…
Suddenly, the dungeon comments became lively again.
“Oh my heavens! It’s cleared just like that, I’m truly envious!”
“I didn’t expect this LV0 Lin Ye to actually have something to him. He has such a deep understanding of warfare. Maybe he’ll be the next dungeon design genius.”
“Tsk tsk, his clear this time is very insightful. It seems that for this dungeon, a quick attack is a very effective strategy.”
“An LV0 leading a group of LV2 big shots to clear it. It’s like a Bronze player carrying Challengers. Interesting, interesting.”
“I bet this Lin Ye will be on the Sky Curtain news tomorrow.”
At this moment.
The most furious person was none other than Ito Hidekazu, the Designer of the Royal Sea Battle.
He leaped directly from his lounge chair, shattering the coffee cup in his hand.
“Damn it!”
“That cursed Great Xia Clan member!”
Because the dungeon’s clear meant that he would gain nothing this time; not only would he not acquire any points, but he would also have a large number of points deducted!
What was most infuriating was that, due to the real-time live broadcast, countless people in this world had witnessed the method of clearing this dungeon.
Where there’s a first time, there will be a second time! After this, Challengers would definitely figure out the clear pattern for this dungeon and create clear guides.
It wouldn’t be long before this battle dungeon became completely obsolete.
“I originally intended to profit from this dungeon for several years, but now it seems I must design a new one!”
“Lin Ye… I will eventually make sure you are utterly annihilated in my dungeon.”
Ito Hidekazu clenched his fists and said fiercely.
