Ch.453Boss Raid. (3)

Of course, even with over 300,000 carrier-based aircraft deployed.

Since we were facing a boss fleet designed to challenge 100 players, our aircraft were engaged in a much fiercer battle than expected.

-Ratatatatat!

-Boom!

“Current engagement results between enemy fleet and our aircraft: enemy fleet damage 2%, aircraft losses 5%!”

“They’re holding up better than expected despite taking heavy hits on their front-line ships.”

“Battleships and heavy cruisers can still perform anti-air defense. They’re just focusing more comfortably on anti-air while our attacks concentrate on their anti-air destroyers and cruisers.”

The fortunate thing was that our strategic maneuver wasn’t over yet.

—————————————–

-[We’re almost at the battlefield now] (Raksha)

-[Oh good]

-[What happened to the ships that went for the diversionary attack? You’re back already?]

-[Killed them all] (Raksha)

-[Those weaklings melted quickly]

-[Lolol]

—————————————–

Raksha and the mobile warfare users’ fleets were now entering the battlefield after bypassing the front lines.

And simultaneously…

—————————————–

-[My aircraft have detected the enemy fleet] (Mona Lisa)

-[Engaging in combat now] (Mona Lisa)

-[Niiiiice]

-[The timing is artistic]

—————————————–

Despite losing one attack group to the Kraken to buy time.

Mona Lisa was still producing firepower equivalent to 10 large carriers on her own, and now her third attack wave (150,000 aircraft) was arriving after the second wave.

The area around the Ancient Empire’s flagship quickly began descending into absolute chaos.

Of course, in response to this situation, the flagship hurriedly deployed carrier-based aircraft and escort ships that had been stored inside as soon as their cooldown expired.

—————————————–

-[Ah shit, concentrated fire]

-[Dodge quickly] (Raksha)

-[Don’t block the path dammit]

-[What blockade? Just move to the side]

—————————————–

Whenever there was the slightest opening, they would unleash area weapons or concentrated fire as soon as cooldowns expired.

They were desperately trying to turn the tide of battle, literally struggling with everything they had, but…

“Ouroboros, charge 100% complete!”

“From now on, fire as soon as it reaches 100%. For now, target the enemy heavy cruisers!”

-BOOOOOM!

With quadruple buffs and firing control assistance, Ouroboros’s ultra-long-range bombardment picked off one by one the heavy cruisers that were pressuring our aircraft and Raksha’s assault team.

—————————————–

-[Lololol damn flagship bastard]

-[F-l-a-g-s-h-i-p f-o-u-n-d, s-o l-u-c-k-y♡]

-[Hah, now it’s time for sweet revenge, isn’t it?]

—————————————–

While the flagship’s firepower was being wasted on the assault teams, our front-line fleet had stubbornly advanced and was now unleashing attacks from all sides.

The flagship and its escort fleet, immobilized by my teleport spear, had their multiple barriers disabled one by one during cooldowns, and they exploded one after another.

Eventually, with the escort fleet completely annihilated, the flagship had to endure all firepower alone.

Like a proper boss, it tried to resist by alternating between its sturdy armor, barriers as they came off cooldown, and area bombardments.

But our massive concentrated attack from allied aircraft and ships was powerful enough to shatter even its formidable multi-layered barriers before they could come off cooldown.

And once the barriers were demolished this way…

—————————————–

-[Close combat superhumans, go go go go]

-[Lolol good, I’m going right now]

-[Ah, this cool sensation, time to return to being a raider]

-[This is it]

—————————————–

The 100 players’ hundreds of close-combat superhumans, who had been twiddling their thumbs until now, all rushed in at once, tearing apart every weapon on the surface of the Imperial flagship.

For the large, sturdy main gun turrets that couldn’t be subdued by superhumans, special ships with high-powered mass rounds, including my Hresvelgr, blasted them to pieces.

The incredibly tough armor plates were melted by the bombardment from extermination ships that had approached the flagship after most of its weapons were destroyed.

It was literally like watching a group bullying session.

And after enthusiastically ganging up on it and beating it senseless for a while…

—————————————–

<Round 4 – Raid Battle>

<Battle Result: Victory>

—————————————–

—————————————–

-[Oh]

-[We won hell yeah]

-[Whew that was tough] (Mona Lisa)

-[Victory for the users!]

-[GG]

-[Congrats]

-[Good work everyone] (Raksha)

-[Everyone otsukare]

-[Ah feels so good]

-[Lolol] (Icarus)

—————————————–

I was greeted by an incredibly clean and simple battle results screen, contrasted by the not-so-clean chat window.

==========

And at that moment when the three rankers and 97 users had transformed the Ancient Empire’s flagship into what used to be a flagship and returned home.

In the gallery, reactions were exploding about how the flagship was defeated much more easily than expected, with comments about how the veterans had overreacted.

—————————————–

Title: Upvote if you think the veterans were exaggerating lolol

So what if it uses all four faction abilities?

Well, just time the cooldowns and prevent it from using one, simple lolol

Just immobilize it and that’s it lolol

Comments:

-[For real lol]

-[The veterans’ exaggeration is something else]

-[At this rate, other faction fleets that focused on one thing would be stronger tbh]

-[Died way too pathetically lol]

—————————————–

Of course, even as these reactions were pouring in, other users continued to participate in boss raid battles.

Naturally, some of them encountered the “Ancient Empire’s Flagship,” but without Icarus’s teleport spear, Raksha’s mobile warfare meta, or Mona Lisa’s massive carrier fleet that could “overwhelm” the flagship’s aircraft…

Damn, what do you mean time the attacks with cooldowns?

Just prevent one ability and that’s it?

You bastards, we don’t have a Kraken

Comments:

-[Lolololololololololololololol]

-[You actually believed the gallery? Lol]

-[Huh? Why did you lose?]

-[Didn’t you guys have your own powerful methods? Didn’t you have a ton of carriers?]

-˪[Yeah, I heard they had over 40 large carriers]

—————————————–

A post confirming their glorious annihilation made it clear that this was by no means an easy opponent.

It was truly a vicious enemy that players only had a “5%” chance of encountering.

Of course, some users still insisted that those who lost were just incompetent and refused to change their opinions.

But naturally, reasonable people wouldn’t just stand by and watch such nonsense.

Unable to tolerate this behavior, some veteran players began mercilessly beating down the mindless contrarians with brutal facts.
