16: This copy is too spicy

The Challenger's time in the instance is perfectly synchronized with the time outside the instance.

Led by Ito Hidekazu, everyone voted to execute Mission One: Destroy Pearl Harbor Military Base.

This instance mission had a duration of 96 hours, so Ito Hidekazu did not rush to attack, but first organized his forces into formations.

This time, it was quite fortunate; among the seven thousand Challengers, there were many LV2 high-level Challengers, and the total number of warships reached as many as 50!

Moreover, among them were the five most advanced battlecruisers of the current era, belonging to Prince Singh!

Under Azure Star's current military standards, battlecruisers could be said to be the highest level of naval units.

In addition, each Challenger was equipped with a Type 38 rifle! Besides naval combat, land combat was absolutely not inferior.

This level of combat power completely exceeded Ito Hidekazu's estimation; at this moment, he could be said to be full of confidence.

As long as he could land at Pearl Harbor Base, he was completely confident in completing the mission.

After two full days of preparation and sailing.

On the morning of the third day.

Ito Hidekazu's fleet had already arrived within a hundred nautical miles of Pearl Harbor Military Base.

At this moment, Ito Hidekazu was drinking coffee in the command room of his warship, the matsushima.

Beside him, Singh was observing the movements at Pearl Harbor with radar reconnaissance equipment.

"Mr. Ito, something is strange..."

"Why is there no activity at Pearl Harbor? Didn't the previous mission brief say there was an Extinguish Country Fleet at Pearl Harbor Military Base?"

"Why are there no patrol units seen in the surrounding waters?"

Ito Hidekazu also frowned and operated the reconnaissance equipment to observe.

He found that the waters near Pearl Harbor were indeed completely quiet.

After pondering for a moment, Ito Hidekazu burst into laughter.

"Prince Singh, it seems... this Lin Ye has no military talent at all."

"I estimate his instance settings simply didn't include automatic patrol commands for his enemy forces. If I'm not mistaken, his fleet should be resting in the harbor right now."

Singh listened, his face full of disbelief.

"This... this is too stupid, isn't it?"

"Not setting patrol commands for naval units, isn't that just inviting others to attack?"

Ito Hidekazu took a sip of coffee, a pleased smile on his face.

"Newbies, they always make some mistakes where they focus on one thing and neglect another. I guess Lin Ye put all his energy into map expansion and military deployment, and as a result, he overlooked the simplest command settings."

Singh was still somewhat skeptical; he truly couldn't imagine that an Infernal Grade instance would have so many flaws.

This was just too bad.

...

Ito Hidekazu's fleet quickly sailed into Pearl Harbor Military Base.

As a result, they still didn't see any patrolling ships; even Pearl Harbor Military Base itself was quiet.

The base had complete combat facilities, but there were no defensive facilities whatsoever.

The Challenger's fleet was already close to shore, yet not even an alarm sounded.

Now even Singh had to believe that this Raging Sea and Surging Waves instance indeed had a huge flaw.

"Now you believe it, Mr. Singh, the enemy forces in this instance have no defensive arrangements at all."

"I even suspect that the so-called Extinguish Country Fleet is just a trick and doesn't exist in this instance at all!"

Ito Hidekazu's words also amused Singh.

After creating such a big hype, the actual standard was so pathetic; Lin Ye's instance was definitely the biggest joke in Azure Star's instance history.

"It's so bad, I've never seen such a ridiculous instance."

"I don't think there's any need to land now; just use the warships to fire shells at the military base and fully destroy all land buildings, that's enough."

Ito Hidekazu's eyes held a hint of disdain.

"It's a pity, this young man from the Great Xia Clan, it seems he's going to be eliminated."

He had originally thought Lin Ye would have some strength, but what kind of mess was this?

They said there was an Extinguish Country Fleet with 30 naval units, but not even a single hair was seen.

The entire naval base, seemingly vast and precise, was actually just an empty shell.

"All forces, listen up! Full firepower!"

"Raid Pearl Harbor for me!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Deafening explosions reverberated over the vast sea!

Streaks of fire, like enraged giant dragons, burst forth from the mouths of the Challenger's warship fleet, violently striking every inch of Pearl Harbor.

The sea surface was covered by giant waves stirred up by the gunfire, like boiling water.

Blinding fire and thick smoke intertwined, obscuring the sky and plunging the entire Pearl Harbor into chaos!

The towering warships, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into colossal beasts of destruction, wantonly shelling the military base.

The shockwaves from the explosions caused the buildings and facilities within the base to instantly totter.

Seeing this one-sided bombardment, the observers outside the instance were also dumbfounded and immediately started cursing in the bullet comments.

"What?! Is that it?!"

"Is this supposed to be an Infernal Grade instance? I think it's not even as good as those simple instances!"

"I thought it was a world-class challenge, but now it seems like a freebie."

"I've said it before, the Great Xia Clan's instance design isn't good."

"Too useless, it's a complete waste of my time. I've been watching this instance for two days and two nights, and this is what I get to see."

"I also want to enter this kind of instance and get free rewards!"

"Don't even think about it, above. After this wave, Lin Ye will probably be directly eliminated, and his instances will also disappear synchronously."

"Where are the people from the Great Xia Clan? Speak up!"

"..."

This dramatic turn of events made the bullet comments for Raging Sea unusually heated. For a time, regardless of whether they cared or not, everyone was drawn into this instance to watch.

-------------------------------------

At the same time.

Great Xia Clan gathering place.

In the conference room of the First Instance Technology Research Institute.

The large screen was displaying all the conditions within the [Raging Sea] instance.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely oppressive.

Actually, at first, the various researchers in the room were still engaged in a fierce discussion about the entire instance.

After all, it was an instance designed by their own clan member, and it was the first Infernal Grade instance in Azure Star's history; they couldn't help but take it seriously.

Everyone praised Lin Ye's map design and mission settings, feeling that Lin Ye was indeed a talented Designer.

But now...

They had to watch this instance be conquered by Ito Hidekazu.

"He was too careless, how could this Lin Ye have problems with command settings?"

"Alas... he's still too young. He always thinks about brilliant things, but he didn't do the most basic things well."

Sighs constantly echoed in the conference room.

Everyone even found it unbearable to watch the live broadcast anymore.

If this continued, the instance would inevitably be conquered. With seven thousand people clearing it simultaneously, Lin Ye would lose a massive amount of points.

Lin Ye would 100% be directly eliminated.

Watching Pearl Harbor Military Base continuously collapse in the flames, Zhao Jianyu also let out a long sigh.

Everything was largely as she had expected.

Initially, when this instance first appeared, she even suspected she had misjudged, but reaching this point, it still followed the path she had predicted.

Arrogant geniuses, in the end, are destined to return defeated.

However, as a fellow member of the Great Xia Clan, Zhao Jianyu couldn't be happy.

She wished she had misjudged, she wished Lin Ye was truly a peerless genius who would thoroughly prove her wrong.

She didn't want to see such a frustrating scene!
