The battle was the main theme of the moment!
Lin Yuan's investment of a significant amount of Reputation Points to recruit the top-tier pirates was not in vain. In an instant, their formidable prowess was fully revealed!
Except for the four Silicon-based Crocodiles and Spear Throwers, who were unable to engage in combat in space, the remaining six Mechanical Race pirates immediately transformed into their respective Third Combat Forms upon receiving Lin Yuan's attack command.
Once they activated this combat form, they could achieve incredible flight speeds while possessing terrifying Attack Power. This was precisely why Lin Yuan chose the Mechanical Lifeform Race; their adaptability as Mechanical Race beings was simply outstanding.
At this moment, Lin Yuan also joined the fray. The group of Wandering Insect Tribe ahead were relatives of the Tentacle Insect Tribe, looking quite similar. Although they were not as powerful as the Tentacle Insect Tribe, they could not be underestimated. Moreover, their numbers were considerable—at least five or six hundred. If surrounded, it would be quite troublesome.
However, Lin Yuan underestimated the formidable combat strength of those six top-tier pirates. In the blink of an eye, the two Heavy Shield Defender pirates crashed into the Swarm like two mountains. Their massive shields collided heavily with each other, creating a bizarre spectacle. But in the next moment, a Gravitational Field enveloped a one-thousand-meter radius around these two Heavy Shields!
This was a strange phenomenon, especially in space where there was no strong gravitational force; its effect was surprisingly effective!
The Tentacle Insect Tribe was indeed a powerful presence, with each one roughly the size of a locomotive on Earth. Any alien queen would seem trivial in comparison. Their bodies floated with tentacles resembling jellyfish, extending dozens of meters long. Once ensnared, even Alloy could be twisted like dough!
This was evident from the fact that killing just one would yield 5 Reputation Points for the Pirate Alliance!
But at this moment, when the Gravitational Field released by those two giant shields appeared, any Antenna Worm within its range was helplessly drawn toward the center of this Gravitational Field. Meanwhile, other Antenna Worms outside the field found their movement speed drastically reduced due to the sudden gravitational pull!
At the very center of the Gravitational Field, gravity reached an astonishing eighty times that of normal. The terrifying result was that Antenna Worms closer to the center were crushed by this gravity, their bodies and innards turning into mere fragments!
This showcased the immense power of the Heavy Shield Defender; it could control nearly all enemies on the battlefield while providing maximum support and relieving pressure for its teammates!
As soon as a Gravitational Field unfolded, two afterimages rushed into it—those were the two Swift Hunter pirates, armed simply with daggers.
Of course, this so-called dagger was not the kind that Earthlings imagined, a mere ten centimeters long. Instead, it was a dagger described in proportion to the body of the Mechanical Warrior, each nearly two meters long. In the hands of the two Swift Hunters, it was as if they were butchering an ox with incredible skill.
This was also Lin Yuan's first encounter with Swift Hunters that were even more brutal than Lord J. With his current level of Auditory Radar, he found it difficult to catch sight of them; almost every moment, they could conjure at least a dozen afterimages. Their Gale Evasion Skill was executed with such mastery that it was truly impressive. Lin Yuan watched in awe; he had immense respect for their prowess!
This further diminished his previous confidence and arrogance. The saying "there are always greater beings" held true; these top-tier pirates were not the most formidable in this Year-End Exam. They were at best second-tier, which was part of the exam's design. If their strength placed them among the top tier, they would not serve as an effective assessment for all Target Students.
Lin Yuan estimated that even if they were the highest-level E7 pirates, their actual strength might only equate to that of an E5 Elite Mechanical Warrior.
From this, it could be inferred that those E6 and E7 Elite Mechanical Warriors must be even more powerful.
As Lin Yuan pondered these thoughts, the two Swift Hunter pirates had already stirred up a bloody storm among the Antenna Worms. Wherever they passed, fragments and debris flew; not a single Antenna Worm could withstand them!
When the last two Brute Assault Specialists quickly joined the fray, there was no longer any suspense in the battle. Each of these violent assault pirates wielded massive twenty-meter-long swords, and when they launched their attacks, it was like unleashing a tempest!
The entire battle from start to finish lasted less than thirty seconds, during which all four hundred thirty-one Antenna Worms were eliminated without Lin Yuan or the four Silicon-based Crocodiles and Spear Throwers even having a chance to strike!
Nevertheless, Lin Yuan felt exhilarated—truly refreshed!
This was what violence meant; this was real brutality!
Four hundred thirty-one Antenna Worms directly contributed 155 points to his Pirate Alliance reputation, meaning he had effectively gained another pirate.
"Let's go! Continue sweeping through the Zerg!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand and continued on his way. With less than two days left until the attack began, he couldn't afford to delay such a delightful way to earn reputation.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was also aware that within the Ninth Training Base faction, aside from the lower-tier Target Students, many others were also happily accumulating reputation. He recalled that on the Pirate Alliance's reputation leaderboard, the top three individuals had over 150,000 Reputation Points each. If exchanged for top-tier pirates, that could yield as many as 100 at once!
Indeed, this was still a world filled with powerful individuals.
As he pressed on, whenever he spotted a wandering Swarm, Lin Yuan would charge in with his ten fierce pirates, steadily increasing their Reputation Points.
However, this also meant that Lin Yuan and his crew were drifting further away from the Pirate Alliance's main base. It was unavoidable; areas close to the base had already been occupied by numerous teams, and the Wandering Insect Tribe that spawned there wasn't particularly formidable.
During this deepening journey, Lin Yuan had seen many stronger advanced Target Students from a distance. They were all at least E5 level or higher, often working together in teams to dispatch foes with remarkable efficiency.
Yet everyone was too busy dealing with insects to pay any attention to Lin Yuan and his crew.
As for Titan 1109, who had previously boasted about making Lin Yuan pay, they hadn't sought him out either. After all, it was still a preparation period for the factions, and malicious killings would have severe consequences. However, once the offensive phase began, it was quite possible they might strike from behind.
But Lin Yuan was determined not to let them succeed.
As time passed, Lin Yuan's gains became increasingly bountiful. The ten top-tier pirates proved to be quite effective; whether facing hundreds or thousands of insects, they fought with great enthusiasm!
Of course, these pirates needed energy replenishment and recovery from various negative statuses periodically. Fortunately, this didn't cost much because by now, Lin Yuan's reputation within the Pirate Alliance had risen above 100 points again, placing him back in the top two hundred of the faction rankings.
However, Lin Yuan decided it was time to return since he had strayed too far from the Main Base. Moreover, he needed to head back for supplies and recruit a few more top-tier pirates.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to give the order to retreat, a brilliant flash like a shooting star suddenly streaked across the dark expanse of space. In an instant, a pirate with a violent assault profession was struck, and with his powerful Mechanical Body, he was instantly torn apart and killed!
"Hostile camp! Sniper! Position 45644! Activate Hexagonal Array for overall defense!"
In just a moment, Lin Yuan shouted out, even though his Auditory Radar could not detect the target's presence within its current search range, the trajectory of the ballistic attack was immediately locked onto by his Intellect and quickly analyzed!
At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a twinge of regret; had he known earlier, he would have exchanged for two pirate snipers. As it stood, they were now ambushed by the enemy and unable to retaliate!
Moreover, judging from the single shot that had instantly killed a violent assault pirate, it was clear that the opponent was an expert sniper, at least twice as skilled as the former Firefox!
Meanwhile, the other nine pirates had already taken appropriate precautions. The two Heavy Shield pirates activated their gravity shields and positioned themselves in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent attack ceased. In the distance, strange ripples flashed through the dark space, and then twelve figures appeared brazenly thirty kilometers away. Clearly, the enemy had already discerned that Lin Yuan's side lacked ranged attack snipers, and more critically, they were confident enough to proceed.
Among these twelve individuals were three Target Students from the Seventh Training Base—one at e5 level, one at e-Class, and another also at e-Class. The remaining nine were guards recruited from their a-11 Sub-base using Reputation Points, on par with the pirates of the Pirate Alliance.
However, they were evidently bold and daring, having ventured to ambush outside the Pirate Alliance's base. They surely possessed some form of cloaking device as well.
"Hey there, buddy on the other side! Choose to surrender; I'll give you a dignified outcome. Though it may be humiliating, it's better than dying and having to respawn!" (To be continued...)
