Although Qing Wa was quite dissatisfied when Man Tianhong first said that he would be stationed in the maintenance warehouse, but whether it was to correct the mistake or because he had a good understanding, when he finally entered the third line of defense, Ai Ying and others discovered
Not only was the third line of defense originally deployed along the maintenance warehouse, but even some metal lifeforms began to repair themselves in the maintenance warehouse.
After all, this is a game, not reality.
Even if the repair device in the maintenance warehouse is not an adjuster specifically for use by Metal Life, without the help of maintenance workers, Metal Life can still obtain perfect results by reading the progress bar after entering the universal weapon equipment repair device for a while.
maintenance services.
In other words, life, energy, ammunition can be replenished instantly, etc.
So Ai Ying and others were a little speechless when they saw those metal beings walking in and out of the maintenance warehouse for a while before continuing to go out to fight.
Because what is this? This is cheating if not cheating!
After all, as long as the maintenance equipment in the maintenance warehouse is not a problem, then no enemy can break through the defense line of metal life!
It's just that for players, maybe they will focus their attack targets on maintenance devices at this time. After all, even enemy armed units have many long-range artillery that are difficult to defend against fixed targets on the ground. But if the matter is left to NPCs
On the body, this is not necessarily the case.
So with a weird look on her face, Zhou Xiaowen said: "Sister Xiu, do you think we should notify Metal Life to protect the maintenance warehouse?"
"It's better not to do it, otherwise it will really become a device that must be protected and repaired."
After She Xiu shook his head, Ai Ying didn't say anything more.
You may not notice some problems that should be paid attention to but are not noticed. But once the players talk too much, it will definitely cause the NPC target to shift.
Therefore, in order to prevent NPCs from really starting to protect or even attack the maintenance equipment, Ai Ying and others cannot alert Metal Life at least until the Iron Warriors actively start attacking the maintenance equipment.
And then no more.
Since they couldn't help in the maintenance warehouse, Ai Ying and others began to rush back to the third line of defense.
Because there are now various explosions and roars inside and outside the entire defense line, which has not spread to the maintenance warehouse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then, when they came behind the defense line of metal life forms under the gunfire, Ai Ying and others stopped without thinking. Because it was not that Ai Ying and others did not want to get close, but that they simply could not get close. Especially those metal life forms that might be able to get closer.
Constantly moving back and forth in the enemy's artillery fire reduces the risk of being hit by artillery fire. Ai Ying and others cannot do this.
After all, the enemy has now entered the base, and everyone is engaged in short-range offensive and defensive warfare.
Not only were they looking at the way the metal life was constantly moving in the gunfire, but they were also looking at the way the weapons units on the opposite side were being destroyed and new weapons units were coming up from the darkness. Ai Ying and others were a little shocked, and the sky was red.
He even said with a puzzled look on his face: "Ai Ying, why can metal lifeforms avoid artillery attacks, but weapon units under the command of Steel Warriors cannot avoid artillery attacks?"
"This may be the difference between one who is moving himself and the other who has to command different weapon units to carry out operations!"
Ai Ying said: "Of course. If an Iron Warrior only commands one weapon unit, this is no problem, but if you want to command multiple weapon units, instead of wasting time on detailed command, it is better to strive for pure quantity at the beginning.
If victory cannot be guaranteed in terms of numbers, perhaps the Iron Warriors will focus on technical attacks..."
"Yes, although those steel warriors can indeed command weapon units to dodge at high speed, they cannot command all weapon units to make corresponding dodge actions. After all, they are NPCs, not simple calculation tools."
Damn it! It’s not just a calculation tool? Are you kidding me?
Because it may be okay to apply this in reality, but it would be too hard to imagine applying it to intelligent NPCs in games.
Or is it that the Falling Star World itself is another kind of real world, the real world of NPCs?
As Qing Wa, who had just come out of the maintenance warehouse, stopped next to Ai Ying and others, everyone was immediately speechless.
Because even though everyone knows that the NPCs in the game Cosmic Road have their own worldview, this worldview should not be premised on destroying the basic concept of the game!
But there is no but.
Although Qing Wa could provide a footnote to Ai Ying's explanation, he was destined to be unable to stop for this, and soon re-entered the chaotic and fierce battle ahead.
After just twisting his nervous body, Saddam M said: "Then shall we continue to stand here and watch? Or shall we find a place to join the battle?"
"No! If we join the battle now, we will also be attacked by the enemy. And don't forget, this is a mission as red as the sky. It is a copy mission of a war reporter. A war reporter may be able to make his own observations and observations on the battlefield.
Judgment, but it is impossible to help either party by fighting."
Shaking his head, it was not Ai Ying or the other ordinary players, but Zhao Qiong who directly poured cold water on Saddam.
Upon hearing this, Man Tianhong said nervously: "Is this really true? Then I also participated in the battle in the square!"
Zhao Qiong shook his head and said: "The battle in the square is insignificant, but if we participate in the battle now, we will definitely be attacked by the enemy's artillery fire. Because haven't you noticed? The artillery fire of those weapon units are now concentrated on the metal life, and
Didn’t you attack the base buildings?”
"Buildings? Why don't they attack buildings?"
Although I don't know what Zhao Qiong's explanation has to do with him not allowing Saddam M to participate in the battle, Ai Ying and others were still surprised when they saw that the artillery fire from those weapon units was indeed concentrated on the metal life defense line.
Zhao Qiong said: "It's very simple. Maybe they don't want to harm these buildings, and they don't even think that harming these buildings can really affect the metal life. So it's okay if we don't join the war. Once we join the war, we will definitely be stared at by the enemy's artillery fire.
Let go. But the problem is that not only do we not have the technology for metal beings to dodge gunfire, we also don’t have the blood volume."
"This... Qiongtian, aren't you professional players? Can't you survive in this kind of artillery fire?"
Although Zhao Qiong's explanation was clear and reasonable, not only did Saddam not show any understanding, but even Zhou Xiaowen also said something strange.
But it was not Zhao Qiong, but She Xiu who said: "Because this is Sister Tianhong's mission, it is not a place for us to challenge ourselves. But if we understand this mission, maybe we will find other players to help us challenge this mission in the future."
Combat in mission scenarios. After all, what is a professional player? That is to put the interests of the employer first."
"Is this really the case? Then won't you let Sister Tianhong retreat to the maintenance warehouse at the back, and then go up to fight on your own?"
Although I have no interest in becoming a professional gamer, if I don’t understand, I just don’t understand, and Zhou Xiaowen can’t hide her words.
She Xiu smiled and said: "Of course it's not impossible, but we also have the problem of insufficient firepower, so as this first mission, of course we still focus on observation."
"Yes! We don't have enough firepower, so there's nothing we can do about it."
After hearing She Xiu's words, Zhou Xiaowen looked at the wh52 single-person recoilless rifle in her hand. But she had to nod. Because the wh52 single-person recoilless rifle may indeed be the strongest single-person weapon available to players at this stage.
Soldier weapons, but they are still inadequate for the enemy's armed units.
Of course, the important thing is not that the wh52 single-person recoilless rifle's attack power is insufficient, but that the player's attack power is not enough to maximize the wh52 single-person recoilless rifle's true attack power.
And then no more.
Ai Ying and others were not in a hurry as they stood back and watched the battle between Metal Life and Iron Warrior on the third line of defense.
After all, as Zhao Qiong said, even the Iron Warriors, or the weapons units under the command of the Iron Warriors, will not destroy the buildings in the base for no reason, especially when the enemy's metal lifeforms are not hiding.
.
And as the metal life shrinks to the third line of defense, there are no other roads for the steel warriors to go around and shuttle, and the battle gradually turns into a war of attrition, a war of attrition mode supported by maintenance warehouses.
If it were a normal task, this situation would certainly not exist.
Because smart NPCs will have some flexibility no matter what, but as a dungeon mission, without the uncertain factors added by players, it will not be easy to make any changes to the war process.
Just thinking of the requirements of the mission itself, Ai Ying still said a little strangely when he passed by a few people after Qingtian repaired: "Lord Qingtian, why have we never seen the Iron Warriors? Where are they hiding to command these weapon units?
!”
"No matter where they are hiding, they must have entered the base now. But now is not the best time to find them."
"Lord Qingtian, do you mean that their weapon units have not been destroyed yet?"
When Qingtian said that the Iron Warriors had entered the base, Ai Ying and others' eyes suddenly lit up.
Because what does this mean? It means that even if the metal life cannot rush out and catch those steel warriors now, as long as the opponent's attack slows down and is even unable to continue attacking, it will be the best time for the metal life to counterattack.
Qingtian also said amidst the roar of the engine: "That's right, although we don't know where they came from to get these continuous weapon units, but we don't think they will show their heads until we destroy these weapon units.
of."
"...Continuously? Is it an underground base? Or does Lord Qingtian know anything about this area?"
Unlike ordinary players like Ai Ying, although there was nothing deliberate in Qingtian's answer, Zhao Qiong still captured the hidden information in time.
Upon hearing this, Qingtian's eyes lit up and he said: "Underground base? Yes, it must be like this. As far as we know, except for the current base, there is no other place in this area that can hide such a large number of weapons.
Unit. And the reason why the enemy can attack in such a steady stream must come from some underground base, or it may be said to be right under our feet."
Oh! Right under our feet?
Although strictly speaking, Qingtian did not have legs, only wheels and tracks, but after hearing Qingtian's words, everyone could not help but lower their heads together.
Because if the enemy really comes from underground, from the underground of this base, then it is not difficult to explain why they can accurately capture the movements of metal life, and even hide and command these weapon units to fight.
Because after allowing weapon units to attack from the hidden exits outside the base, the Iron Warriors can completely monitor and direct the battle on the ground through the hidden machines underground!
This is not only sharp, but also absolutely safe. (To be continued...)
