Chapter 424 The 423 Maginot Defense Line officially started construction!
Chapter 424 423. Construction of the Maginot Line of Defense officially begins!
"Compared with when we parted last night, Major, Colonel, you look a lot more haggard."
In the office of the Blood Eagle Corridor, Murphy sat upright and propped up his chin with his hands intertwined, and said to Colonel Fraser and Major Ron in front of him, who were wearing military uniforms:
"It seems that the two of you were so tired from traveling last night that you didn't get a good rest in this remote place like ours. This is my host's lack of hospitality."
"It has nothing to do with your reception, Your Excellency Governor Murphy."
Colonel Fraser tried hard to hide his emotions, but this was the first time in his life that he could not pretend to be nonchalant no matter how well-educated he was.
In order to avoid further embarrassment, the colonel with dark circles under his eyes got straight to the point and said:
"My adjutant and I came today to discuss with you the location of our military observation group. Marshal Loren's order to us is to ask us to choose our location and shoulder the responsibility of the soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom during the black disaster.
issues of authority.
Please understand that we are not the armed forces of Transia and are not under your control during wartime.
Therefore, issues of authority must be clarified in advance to avoid situations that may embarrass both parties later.”
"Although I am not a soldier, I can completely understand your concerns."
Murphy did not dwell too much on this issue. He pointed to the map hanging on the wall of his office and said:
"But in fact, even if I release this power to you, I guess you won't have much choice on the battlefield between the Dark Barony and the Filthy Swamp.
The Crimean fortress group in the easternmost part of the defense line alone occupies a quarter of the width of the entire battlefield, and the Maginot Line of Defense that we are already building includes more than half of the remaining width.
Even if Marshal Loren comes in person, he can only choose to camp in the western area of the front.
This is also our suggestion to you. You can establish your own defense zone near Lake Shurpers in the Cato region. This will allow you to directly receive material support from the Cato region. Otherwise, you can only go deep into the filthy swamp alone.
An outpost camp has been established.
Speaking of which, I must share with you the important information brought back to us by the scouts of Transia."
Murphy picked up a document from his desk and handed it to Fraser, who took it in his hand and glanced at it, his expression becoming more serious.
He quickly read the contents and handed it to his adjutant, Major Ron. Ron, who was born as a general, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the document for the first time.
An advance army of gnolls from the Dark Mountains has actually appeared in the Filthy Swamp? And a large army of undead skeletons has also been organized?
What the hell kind of bad pre-war conflict thing is this?
In other words, once the observation group sets up camp at the front, there is a high probability that it will be immediately involved in the war between the Transians and the Jackals?
This made Major Ron very worried.
He knew very well that although the officers of the observation group were ready to participate in the cruel war, the war came so quickly beyond the expectations of young people like them. It seemed that Marshal Loren's prediction of the war situation
It's also a bit too optimistic.
"The black disaster is coming faster than we think."
Colonel Fraser said in a deep voice:
"So, there isn't much time left for us to adapt to this miserable land?"
"To be precise, I suggest you skip the 'adaptation' part."
Murphy shrugged and said the cruelest words in the gentlest tone. He said:
"Unless you are willing to stay in the safe rear, when you step into the filthy swamp battle line, you will have to fight to the death with the ferocious gnoll warlocks and their skeleton army with weapons in hand.
In addition, as an ally's obligation, I must remind you that we will send elites into the Filthy Swamp on a large scale in up to fifteen days.
That means that we will launch a resolute expulsion and attack on this gnoll clan entrenched in the swamp and try to bring the strategically important filthy swamp into our management.
You are free to choose to participate or watch, or even be prepared to laugh at us mercilessly, which I can accept, but I absolutely do not want the fourth stupidest option of 'holding back' and 'making a stumbling block' appear!"
"The soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom are never afraid! We will not do such a thing to our allies, and it will not do us any good."
Major Ron said in a deep voice.
Murphy glanced at this tough-looking young man, and he said lightly with the haze and coldness unique to vampires:
"Let's wait until you prove yourselves on the battlefield. You two, the way we Transians distinguish between ourselves and the enemy is very simple. As long as you kill a wolfman from the Dark Mountains, then you will be our leader in this battle."
friends in the war.
I hope you move fast enough to catch up with the upcoming war.
Finally, let Major Ron and Consul Miriam talk about the issue of the station. Mr. Fraser, I need you to stay here.
You and I have some more important topics to talk about.
As the governor of Transia, I guarantee that this is very important to both the Plantagenet Kingdom and the Capetian family."
Murphy's words came to this point, and Fraser couldn't shirk it at all. He didn't need to actually face Miriam, who had just given him a hard blow, which made him feel strangely relaxed.
He motioned with his eyes to Major Ron to perform his duties.
The latter replied to him with a weird and special expression that was so rich in meaning that it could be formed into a fan chart for in-depth analysis, which made Fraser feel discouraged.
But after Ron left, the atmosphere in the office became more relaxed.
After all, Fraser and Murphy have a good personal relationship. The two men once fought together in the same disaster, and the relationship between the two parties is cooperative, which is much more appropriate than a cold military position.
"Don't be so nervous, relax, Frasier."
Murphy stood up and poured a glass of wine for himself and the colonel in an elegant manner. He turned and handed the glass to Fraser and said:
"Look, I suddenly discovered the fourth thing we have in common besides being the same young, equally handsome, and equally outstanding. We are now both faced with the consequences of a difficult and haunting lady.
Our torture on a spiritual level.
Why do you have such an angry expression?
Don't you think that as a vampire lord, I won't monitor everything that happens in my territory?
Do you have any problem with your understanding of the word ‘vampire’?”
Facing Murphy's ridicule, the colonel took the glass of wine with a cold face, but did not drink it.
He always kept a clear distinction between official business and private time, and he didn't want to express any weird opinions on this issue, so he waited silently for Murphy to get to the point.
Such lack of cooperation prevented Murphy from having the fun he wanted, which was a pity.
But there was still business to talk about. Murphy took a sip of wine and used onomatopoeia to tell Fraser what happened to the caravan escorted by Pinkie Pie at the Transian border.
The truth of this matter was not spread under Murphy's suppression. Therefore, when he heard that Pinkie Pie's caravan was in danger because his mercenary group had defected to the Wolfsbane Vampires, even Pinkie Pie herself almost died.
After this conflict, Fraser's expression quickly became extremely ugly.
No wonder after this meeting, Bi Qi felt that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. There was indeed a reason why her nominal fiancée was angry at her.
"How disgraceful!"
The colonel almost gritted his teeth.
He tried hard to maintain his demeanor, but the dancing fire in his eyes could not be extinguished. This incident was a terrible hidden danger to the Cape family's reputation.
"There is no need to be so angry. If the Cape family can rely on their own strength to find the informants of the Wolfsbane clan hidden among you, then you will probably be regarded as honored guests by all the rulers in the world.
The problem of blood servants is a problem common to all regimes on the continent. The Cape family is just unlucky, but I think you should describe this problem carefully to your father.
The first time can be said to be an accident.
But if it happens again the second time, it will be your own fault."
Murphy waved his hand lightly and said:
"That's not what I really want to tell you. This is just an introduction. What I want to talk to you about is 'Twilight'. Although this may drag you into a terrifying whirlpool, I feel that you are now
level and your background, you absolutely need to know this.
So next, don’t interrupt my description. If you have any questions in your mind, verify them in your own way, and come back after you get the answer.
I believe that by then you will be able to understand that my Transia and I can also be a good help to you in matters other than the Black Disaster.
Of course, you can choose not to believe it, after all, this kind of thing sounds very bizarre.
But the fact is that under the dazzling light of your 'Sun King', they also exist in the shadow of your country.
And I guess the brighter the light, the darker the shadow behind it.
Based on the secret I want to tell you, I require you to provide the necessary disguise for a "special intelligence force" under Transia's command while going to your station.
I mean, I gotta tell you up front, there's a native gnoll clan at my service.
So take care of your soldiers and don’t let them accidentally hurt ‘one of your own’.”
——
At the same time that Murphy revealed the existence of "Dusk" to Fraser, in the area near the filthy swamp in the distant Baron of Darkness, "General Commander" Happy Stick was drawing a sword from his beloved shadow-maned warhorse "Shadow King".
Jump off the saddle.
Having completed the war blessing of the Hussar, his body is as huge as a semi-giant, and he walks with the wind at his feet.
When the pressure is full, coupled with the battle-scarred hussar armor on his body and the "one-to-one replica" Emperor's Command Sword hanging on his waist, this guy can be killed invisibly.
It highlights his current identity.
He appeared in the name of "Commander-in-Chief of the Construction and Operation of the Maginot Line" in this land that was close to the swamp and the air was full of putrid and cold atmosphere.
Behind Happy Stick, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry brothers followed closely.
As the commanding officer of the rapidly expanding Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Regiment, these veterans have regained the military qualities they had put aside in their past lives through constant war training in the game.
It can be said that the current group of Happy Stick is the most special one among all the player groups of "Real Alien".
Others are here to play games, they are here to "fight".
This is the classic P Club player base camp, filled with wild hawk war criminal groups, anti-aircraft artillery leveling stream of consciousness, neutron killing efficiency party, and alien can wholesalers.
The average person is a hero who regards the gesture network as pre-dinner entertainment, a madman who has 100% war mobilization engraved in his bones, and a ruthless person who uses taxes to raise 95% to support the war.
Especially after Murphy delegated player recruitment authority to the second-level guild, the Scarlet Tempering Group was the first organization to raise the guild level to this level. A group of senior Battlefield Lao Liu and Yamaguchi Ding Susheng were personally invited by Happy Stick
Master Liu has now begun to exercise in reality, preparing to participate in the holy war of "defending Transia".
Put it in literary terms.
Murphy has loosened the reins of the most fanatical war dog under his command, and a group of "war enthusiasts" headed by Happy Stick are gearing up to show off a wave of operations.
"The trench is well dug."
On a high ground overlooking the defensive line, the adjutant Hu Bao Qi Lin next to Happy Stick put down the monocular in his hand and said to Brother Bang:
"As expected of the trenches dug under the personal guidance of Professor Chen, who has experienced militia training. Not only are they perfectly deep and criss-crossing, they even reserve enough traffic trenches and half-length trenches for different purposes, and even have a reinforced and complete drainage system.
.
I don’t think there is any need to build any ground forts!
Just taking photos of these dug trenches and sending them to the group is enough to make the qualified guys scream."
"shit!"
There was a hint of weakness in Happy Stick's voice. He touched his itchy neck and whispered:
"Do you really think this is a game? There is no such thing as reopening here. We only have one chance! If we lose, everyone has to finish the game! These trenches in front of us are just the most basic step. This is just the foundation of our defense line.
!
Not only must we build enough permanent fortifications on various terrain points, we must also complete the construction of material reserves and rest areas underground.
I need General Maxim to send his soldiers over. The locals have little experience in trench warfare. They must be trained from now on.
There is also the issue of firepower.
I don’t know what Brother Zhongzhong thinks or what his plan is, but my requirement is that before the war actually breaks out, my position must have enough firepower to deny the other side large-scale actions. I know it is difficult for everyone, so no
The lion is asking for super heavy artillery like the Big Betty, but at least give me enough mortars, okay?
How difficult can that thing be to make?"
"You have to be considerate of Brother Loyalty. His pressure is no less than ours. Not only does he have to provide fire support for the Maginot Line of Defense, he is also responsible for the production of firearms for the People's Army, and he doesn't even have many skilled workers now."
The tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers next to them shook their heads and said:
"I can't believe that the early stages of this battle are indispensable for bayonet fighting. Speaking of which, yesterday a brother translated the complete set of 'Militia Training Manual' into Calculation Orb. He also conveniently translated the finely revised version of 'Barefoot Doctor'
I also got a copy of the manual.
It's time for us to start training military doctors, Brother Bang.
I think you know very well how much a functioning field hospital can improve and maintain morale in this context."
"This life is not our responsibility."
Happy Stick said a little depressed:
"Mr. Murphy appointed a very strange guy to train military doctors and set up a field hospital. That guy is called the 'Pantsless Demon'. By the way, has this guy been on the forum before? How come I've never seen him before?"
"There are so many people you haven't seen before. It's not like there were just a few people at the beginning. In the past two weeks alone, more than 150 brothers have entered the game."
Hubao Qi Lin shook his head and said:
"You have to adapt to this change. In the future, more and more strangers will join us. Speaking of this, I want to report a 'special situation' to you."
"Well, you say."
Happy Stick took out the blueprint of the front line that he had begged Professor Chen to plan for him and looked at it in his hand. He was thinking about how to build the front line that he was responsible for, while listening to the words of the adjutant.
Lin Lin looked around, then lowered his voice and said:
"The commander of the engineer company when I was in the army suddenly contacted me yesterday. He asked me what I was planning to do by inviting my comrades in arms. After I explained the situation, the old company commander said that he was also interested and asked me for a gift.
copy link.
But in my memory, my company commander was very rigid and had no interest in games, but now he is so strangely enthusiastic, so I doubt it."
"Shh."
Brother Bang felt nervous.
He immediately stopped Lin from continuing, but several people next to him showed some tacit expressions. After a few seconds of thinking, Happy Stick shook his head and said:
"No matter! We can't control this matter. If people are willing to come, let them come! But make it clear in advance that you have to follow orders after coming in! Otherwise, let them start a new business."
"He has agreed on this."
Lin scratched his head and said:
"The old company commander said that he will obey orders and obey orders. He also said that he can help us recruit more veterans to enrich our guild. Alas, this is obviously what we dreamed of before, why do we always feel a little scared now?"
"Don't be afraid."
Brother Bang himself felt guilty.
But he knew that he should give his brothers some reassurance at this moment, so he put on an air of fearlessness and boasted with his hands on his hips:
"Despite their seniority, they are not as good as us in terms of actual combat experience. Fighting here is different from outside, and the military has always been a place where strength speaks for itself!
Don't show your timidity, brothers.
You call him the old company commander outside, but he will salute you when he sees you here! Be more arrogant and show off the momentum of an old player to suppress them. Huh, let’s start with this black disaster war.
