Chapter 8, Second Game
Ouyelian's brilliant maneuvers and magnificent opening once again earned the enthusiastic cheers of the audience to an extreme degree. When Xiaomenglou's mixed fleet, composed of seven or eight ships, rushed in just as the ships from Ouyelian's arsenal were about to be launched, the entire audience could not help but emit a chorus of disdainful boos.
After the flagship of Xiao Menglou fired this critical shot, his own flagship was shattered by the fleet of Ouyelian that surged in. However, his hero flagship manufacturing facility remained intact, while Ouyelian's base was largely destroyed. This battle has reached its concluding stage, and Xiao Menglou undoubtedly holds a significant advantage in all aspects.
It is truly unfortunate. Xiao Menglou is indeed a seasoned warrior, meticulously considering every detail on the battlefield. Faced with the enemy's resource advantage from three bases, he spared no effort in destroying the power system that supported the entire colony, undermining the advantages that Ouyelian had painstakingly established. He then proceeded to destroy the manufacturing facility of the flagship. Thus, if Ouyelian's flagship were to be destroyed, she would have to rebuild the power plant, then the flagship manufacturing facility, before she could produce a new flagship. This would take her five to even seven minutes.
We must believe in Ouyelian, trusting that her intelligence and talent will surely help us solve the daunting problem that lies within our hearts, bringing a new legend to today's esports industry. We sincerely believe that her emergence heralds the arrival of a new era in esports.
It was truly spectacular, a dreamlike maneuver. Ouyelian used her heavy cargo ship as an unexpected shield against the main cannon of Xiaomenglou's flagship. Each time the red light of Xiaomenglou's main cannon flashed, Ouyelian skillfully maneuvered her flagship into the cargo ship, causing Xiaomenglou's heavy artillery to completely miss its target, while her own flagship's cannons struck decisively at Xiaomenglou's flagship. Although Xiaomenglou's flagship had advanced to level 4 earlier due to the significant number of enemy ships it had destroyed, becoming a heavily armored space fortress, Ouyelian's masterful operation rendered this advantage utterly meaningless. The excited and trembling voice of Jennidy echoed throughout the venue.

GG, Ou Ye Lian seems to have no intention of continuing to entangle with Xiao Meng Lou. Although the defeat is not obvious, she decisively ended the match. There are still five matches left to determine the outcome, and being overly fixated on the results of one or two games is unnecessary. This is undoubtedly a very wise choice
"The infinite expansion of the universe in the style of Zeus has met with a decisive mid-game strike; who ultimately emerges victorious?" Wu Deweide exclaimed excitedly.
The electronic sound of the countdown echoed around Xiao Menglou's ears like a call to the soul. He trembled as he took a deep breath, slowly raising his hands to his chest. After a brief pause, he opened his fingers in the most elegant manner, like a pianist about to perform Chopin's nocturne, smoothly striking the keys.
The cabin was silent, resembling a desolate Gobi desert, where not even a trace of life's rhythm could be detected. Xiao Menglou sat limply in the pilot's seat, gazing dreamily at the twinkling stars on the computer screen, lips tightly pressed together, quietly awaiting the arrival of the second match.
The incredible Ouyelian, let us cheer for her brilliant maneuvers and the book, ah!!! The flagship energy shield of Xiao Menglou has completely vanished, sparks are flying from the engine, and it is about to fall. His flagship—a Level 4 Hero flagship—has failed to eliminate the enemy and is now on the verge of sacrificing itself. This will alter the entire situation of the war; the disappearance of Xiao Menglou's flagship signifies a total failure of this offensive, and the Ouyelian fleet, supported by three base resources, will sweep through space. Wu Deweide eagerly pointed out the key to victory and defeat in this match to everyone.
The main cannon of Ouyelian struck against the flickering energy shield, and after a flash of fire, the remaining energy shield could no longer escape the fate of destruction. Meanwhile, the three main cannons of Xiaomenglou had also begun to unleash their fiery wrath, as Ouyelian's flagship was engulfed by the overwhelming bombardment of the photon heavy artillery, the energy shield completely shattered, and armor fragments scattered. No one expected that it was, in fact, Ouyelian's secondary flagship that could not withstand the bombardment of Xiaomenglou's level four photon cannons, ultimately reaching the end of its life.
Xiao Menglou's fleet suddenly changed direction, charging towards the central flagship of Ouyelian amidst a hail of gunfire from the enemy's base. The frantic artillery rained down on Ouyelian's flagship like a meteor shower.
In the second match, Xiao Menglou continued to implement the mid-game assault strategy. Meanwhile, Ou Yelian once again seemed to perform as she executed the infinite expansion strategy, which was once the forte of the legendary Zeus and Arthur. In the early stages of the game, she miraculously utilized two expansion bases for dual-line operations, simultaneously clearing the indigenous forces in front of two resource points. With both expansion bases established, the significant economic advantage allowed Ou Yelian's base to maintain a continuous and ever-increasing energy reserve. Amidst this brilliance, various technologies were upgraded, and three factories were brightly lit. In just one more minute, a massive mixed fleet would be able to sweep across the entire starry sky.
With the support of three colonies' resources, Ouyelian is unafraid to engage in one-for-one or even two-for-one ship melee combat against Xiaomenglou's fleet. When one ship is shattered into pieces, two or three more immediately take its place. Although the technology could not be upgraded in time due to the enemy's fierce assault, the endless sea of ships still inflicted significant suffering on Xiaomenglou's fleet
Although he had defeated Ouyelian, this did not instill any sense of invincibility in Xiao Menglou. Ouyelian's skills and abilities were as unfathomable as a vast, surging ocean. He felt like a destitute sailor who had navigated only the calm and gentle surface of this sea. Just as he faintly glimpsed the wild storm gathering in the distance, his dilapidated sailboat had fortuitously sailed into the nearest harbor.
During this period, Xiao Menglou can not only take the opportunity to establish a branch base, but also sell all resources to gather fifty warships for a decisive attack, or he can maintain pressure over the Ouyelian base. In any case, during this time, he will rapidly upgrade all the warships deployed by Ouyelian to critical Level 4 or Level 5 flagships. At that point, the Level 5 main cannon can completely destroy Ouyelian's powerful defense tower system with just three to five shots. Currently, the flagship of Ouyelian is once again caught in the bombardment of Xiao Menglou's fleet, and the situation is extremely precarious. " Jennidy took over Wu Deweide's words.

The flagship of Ouyelian broke free from the range of the transport and * map * ship, swaying towards the flagship of Xiaomeng Tower. With just one more shot, everything could come to an end. My God! A thin layer of energy shield miraculously appeared on the flagship of Xiaomeng Tower. What is happening? It began to turn, and the terrifying three main cannons on the flagship mercilessly locked onto the Ouyelian main ship, which had separated from the heavily armored transport ship's escort. At this moment, Jennidy was already shouting hoarsely.
As the competition has progressed, the two commentators can no longer conceal their admiration for Ou Yelian. Their words have aligned with hers, eagerly anticipating the emergence of an extraordinary legend in today's Ceres Arena.
At the moment when Xiao Menglou fired the final shot from the main cannon at Ouyang Lian, he deactivated the energy shield, allowing the sturdy armor of his ship to absorb the heavy blow. This created an illusion, leading the enemy to believe that his energy shield had been completely destroyed, thereby enticing them to launch a desperate assault against him, breaking away from the protection of the heavily armored transport ship. He truly is an exceptionally cunning talent on the battlefield
The three ships freshly launched from the Ouyelian shipyard were met with a devastating blow from the Xiaomenglou mixed fleet, turning to ashes right within the manufacturing facility. Meanwhile, the Xiaomenglou fleet, enduring the brutal assault from the five defensive towers of the Ouyelian interstellar colony base, also suffered heavy losses, with one heavy missile destroyer severely damaged and an electronic warfare interference ship reduced to ruins in mid-air. However, according to the game rules, ships destroyed by defensive towers do not grant the hero flagship any combat experience, thus preventing upgrades based on these results. Therefore, despite the significant losses, the Xiaomenglou fleet's well-timed suppression still achieved remarkable results.
Ouye Lian's ever-changing tactics leave everyone in awe, while so far, it remains to be seen whether Xiao Menglou, who continues to adhere to the same tactics like a textbook engineer, can be as fortunate as in the previous game. Jennidy seems to be somewhat weary of Xiao Menglou's rigid and unchanging tactics, implying that Xiao Menglou's victory in the first game was purely a matter of luck.
Ou Ye Lian had no choice but to lead the few remaining medium-sized ships in the current base along with the high-tech fleet of Xiao Meng Lou, which moved like a ghost, to engage in brutal close-quarters combat in order to support the safe production of the three large arms factories within the main base. Both sides once again conducted aerial battles as spectacular as the first round.
However, it is undeniable that Xiao Menglou's monotonous mid-game assaults have yet to encounter a strategy that can completely counter them, which is likely the reason this player has consistently adhered to this approach
At that moment, a wave of delighted cheers erupted throughout the venue, as the enormous cannon fire on the three-dimensional laser screen shot up into the sky, illuminating the universe against the backdrop of a blue-black night with a bright red glow
The fleet of Xiao Menglou suffered rapid casualties, quickly diminishing from eight ships to around four. The flagship, Hero, endured intense bombardment. However, he utilized the Hero flagship to fiercely break into the enemy's encirclement, crazily drawing all enemy fire, while the remaining few ships joined forces with several reinforcements from the rear to launch a frenzied bombardment on the power station, defense towers, armory, and flagship manufacturing facility of the Ouyelian base. Gradually, the brightly lit Ouyelian base began to dim, losing the crucial power output from its power plant, and the bustling armory and technology development center ceased operations. Soon after, a deafening explosion resonated across the entire cosmic star map, as the Hero flagship manufacturing facility was sent into the distant starry sky by a nuclear missile.
