MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Return Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Return This moment belonged to Li Yao, especially for the Earthlings, this moment was incredibly exhilarating.

Although many were aware that in the current stage of individual combat they still couldn't surpass others, this was all temporary. Li Yao had shown them the true path to becoming stronger, breaking through the bottleneck of the old mecha.

What people fear most is the unknown. As long as there is a direction, countless dazzling geniuses will emerge, making individual combat increasingly formidable in the future.

Humans could think of it, and other races naturally could too, but their only relief was that they also had access to the ports of ancient gods, and they could become stronger too.

At this moment, a multitude of applause erupted; whether sincere or not, all the spotlights were focused on Li Yao.

What followed were the closing activities and the award ceremony, and the bustling day was finally over, with those who had come for the extraterrestrial tour preparing to return.

There were still many things to deal with, but those were for the representatives to discuss; it had nothing to do with Li Yao and the others anymore.

On the return journey, while Li Yao may not have become a national idol, it wasn't by much. Now, there was hardly a district where he wasn't known, his fame having transcended the confines of the game.

Li Yao, still on his way back, received various endorsement invitations from companies and products, each offer higher than the last.

However, Li Yao had absolutely no interest; he was not a celebrity, and by now, he didn't need to do any advertising to increase his income.

His need for money wasn't great; he had no desire for the dizzying luxury of a lavish life. He just wanted to live simply; as long as he had enough to spend, he was content.

Li Yao's goal hadn't changed; mainly, it was all for Divine Enthronement, so he didn't give those companies and product sponsors any chance for contact and plunged back into the game.

Now he was level fifty, and other players were also leveling up like crazy, working hard to pioneer the level fifty instances.

In the guild, everyone specially chose a game night to celebrate Li Yao's victory in reality.

Because of Li Yao's championship, Starfire had truly become a guild without district boundaries.

Initially, those who wanted to join Starfire were mostly from the Huaxia district, but now a large influx of players from other districts had joined, and many sub-guilds of Starfire were established.

Now, Starfire was considered a guild cluster. Despite missing some heritage, Starfire was gradually catching up to the tail of the super guilds.

Starfire's last event gained a considerable amount of standard equipment due to Li Yao's hero skill.

At this stage, the largest expense for any guild was the army.

Players could revive and were flexible, but they still needed to log off to rest. However, NPC legions were different; with proper command, they could secure the guild's headquarters at any time.

At the current stage, Starfire's guild-owned legions alone exceeded 400,000, not to mention the players' standing army left at the guild headquarters. Otherwise, there would be even more.

And yet, this number of troops was presumably fewer than that of the super guilds, where many large guilds stationed legions of at least five or six hundred thousand.

But Starfire had three strongholds: a main one, a secondary, and a secret port at Pirate Island.

Starfire's military forces were split into three parts: the ground forces, the naval forces, and the standing legions.

The two strongholds each had over fifty thousand from the Worm Tribe, all produced from Sub-nests. Moreover, the Furnace's smelting had strengthened a lot during this period, and the number was still slowly increasing, without using any of Li Yao's own energy units.

The naval forces, having developed for a long time, had reached fifty thousand in number, with ships exceeding three hundred, most of which were used as merchant vessels.

Because of the quantity, the air force was classified as an auxiliary unit to the other two legions.

Starfire's naval base was Pirate Island. Many guilds wanted to find an opportunity to annihilate Starfire's warships, but they couldn't locate where the fleet was docked.

Moreover, because of the location of Pirate Island, the naval main force could support the two strongholds at any time. The three formed an irregular triangle, supporting each other.

The third part consisted of guild players taking turns to station troops at the guild's headquarters, rotating once a week.

Among these, equipping the boar people was a major issue. Although Li Yao was a queen's successor, he didn't have enough money to buy standard equipment from the Dark Camp. Most of the boar people even used primitive Wolf Fang Clubs made from thorny vines or bone weapons. The randomness of the gear could affect morale and the outcome of wars.

This dilemma was common among all guilds, which were all striving to make money to slowly replace their equipment with standard gear.

But Li Yao's hero skill had almost canceled out Starfire's military expenses, even allowing them to make a profit.

In the epic battle of the event, as long as Li Yao participated in the fight, Starfire would gain a massive amount of standard equipment from the Blood Origin Tribe. Due to its rapid expansion, the Blood Origin Tribe had gained plenty of resources, and their gear was by no means inferior.

Especially the fight for the main city, which benefited Starfire enormously. A massive hoard of equipment was collected.

After sorting it out, there were an astonishing six hundred thousand sets. Although nearly half were Chain Armors for archers, the remaining Armor was sufficient for Starfire to arm the boar people.

Especially since the Blood Origin Bow, while not necessarily superior to the Purple Bow in quality, had rather significant special effects. Starfire's archers, and even many players who could use bows as secondary weapons, were hooked on the Blood Origin Bow with its explosive effects, despite its lower attack power.

Starfire's ranged striking capability had increased by more than just a notch. As for the boar people, they had switched from muskets to cannons, being inherently powerful and now clad in Blood Origin Armor wielding Bloodsucking weapons, they became bona fide tank units, unstoppable, becoming a powerful force.

The surplus was even sold off, and more were made available for Starfire members to purchase with their contribution to the guild. Starfire's armed forces had clearly moved up more than a notch in strength.

Especially since the benefits of building a super-large city for Starfire had begun to show–the addition of several hundred thousand troops had no effect on the city, whereas other guilds, with only functional buildings, had to accommodate extra troops in barracks or outside the city, greatly affecting morale.

Meanwhile, at Starfire, troops were naturally stationed at the barracks, but they all had their homes to return to during vacation, embracing an entirely different concept. Even those boar people had long forgotten about their original homes.

As the hubbub faded, the core veterans of Starfire gathered at Lord Li Yao's mansion, chatting and sobering up by the cozy fireplace.

Li Yao watched the live broadcast and said, “So this is the Battle for War Barriers, indeed quite interesting.”

Sister Li nodded and replied, “A new feature that launched a while ago, this is the second round. Last time Starfire also seized a Forest Fortress, and we got a lot of animals. Moreover, by occupying fortresses, Starfire guild can enjoy various boosts within the fortresses' range, leveling up is not weaker than doing challenge instances.”…
