“Operation ‘Hungry Bird’ mission report!”
At nine o'clock the next morning, in the headquarters of Shadow Valley, veterans from the Qing Dynasty covered in gunpowder smoke came to Lao Qin. The old man was a little tired. This was normal. He had not rested all day and night.
.
Even if there is a sleep access program for gaming helmets, sleep alone is still not enough to relieve mental stress and fatigue.
Lao Qin was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his beloved chain sword at his feet. Judging from the dried blood on the saw blade, this old man with an old heart must have taken advantage of the command last night.
During the break, I went to the battlefield outside the valley and had a lot of fun.
The battle in Shadow Valley last night was short and fierce. However, after the Hunting God's Chosen was unexpectedly defeated, the Jackals actually withdrew from the preset battlefield without much entanglement. The Shadow Valley defenders did not continue to pursue, and after winning the third victory.
After winning a contact battle, they left some people to defend on the outside, while the rest retreated into the valley.
Lao Qin just rushed to collect two heads at the end of the battle. In his words, this was called moving his hands and feet to avoid Alzheimer's disease.
"Say it."
He took a sip of tea, rubbed his forehead and looked at his adjutant.
The veteran of the Qing Dynasty opened the adventure assistant on his arm, called up the statistical summary data, and said:
"The target food transport team was destroyed, and the three surrounding Jackal strongholds were also leveled. The minefield was reset before we left. We conducted four ambush battles using tunnels last night, and they were all successful!
However, while seizing advantageous terrain, players still lost more than one-sixth, proving that the quality of the elite gnolls this time was stronger than at Black Flame Pass. The main reason analyzed was that the addition of the Bloodscar clan caused the opponent's hunting priests to
The number of people quickly swelled to the point where it affected local battles.
Gnolls with or without the blessing of bloodthirsty are two completely different concepts. Moreover, hunting priests not only increase status, but also heal, which further reduces the effective damage we can cause.
In one of the four battles last night, the Jackals evacuated on their own initiative. In order to avoid losses, I did not order a pursuit, but it can also be seen that the Jackals' military quality is improving.
At present, an operation of this scale is completely within the player's acceptance range, but there were also cases of poor command midway.
I don’t think any larger-scale operations than this should be carried out for the time being.
Players' military literacy needs to be cultivated little by little. Many times they know what to do but they just do it recklessly."
"Well, it's already a very good result."
Lao Qin looked at his other adjutant "Five Pairs of Wheels" and waited for the other party's report. The latter took a look at the data summary on the expert adventure assistant and said:
"Last night's attack on the Gnoll camp at the source of the Huma River from another direction was also successful. Happy Stick's performance there was better than that here, probably because his guild often practices similar group actions.
But the attack on the Jackal camp failed. To be precise, the command canceled the operation out of consideration.
Through the summary of information from the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, we confirmed that the protection there was tighter than we thought, and there was also psychic monitoring maintained by the Jackal priests. Even using tunnel operations, there was no way to guarantee the success rate of the assault.
The cancellation of the mission made the player team responsible for the execution very unhappy. They called us cowards on the forum because they thought they would be able to complete the mission.
But it’s not worth it!
Players are not afraid of death, but three days of offline time is also a loss that must be considered."
"Let's not mention this first, let's make a summary! Last night's operation was a great success. The Jackal's traffic line was temporarily cut off, which was enough for them to realize that our battle mode has changed."
Lao Qin nodded and was noncommittal about the results of last night's action. He said:
"The tunnel will be discovered soon. We must let our warriors adapt to this interleaved combat method as soon as possible before it is raided by jackals. The most important thing is to let NPCs participate!
We can't just let players engage in blocking combat. With the scale of the Jackal, there won't even be a splash if players hit so many of them. If we want to achieve the purpose of disrupting the opponent's combat system, we must rely on tunnels to launch a larger-scale attack in the near future.
, frequent attacks with multiple points of blooming.
Only when the numbers are frequent enough to cause them to become chaotic can we possibly fish in troubled waters.
I suggest that starting from today, NPCs and players will carry out coordinated actions, and the tactics discussed before can be put into practice.
There is also the linkage with Fort Courage, which connects Shadow Valley, Desolate Mountain and Black Flame Pass with Fort Courage."
"You are too anxious."
A veteran of the Qing Dynasty complained:
"I can't even imagine the consequences if you ask players to teach NPCs. It's better to play it safe."
"Safe? Where does the time come from to be safe?"
Five pairs of wheels retorted:
"Our actions here are not to win, but to delay time! For this purpose, a safe and passive combat will only further erode our advantage. The numerical gap between the two sides is too big, and there is no generational difference in weapons. I think
If you want to gain the initiative in war by fighting less and more, you can only risk surprise attacks.
The opponent's leader is wounded by our leader, which in itself is an excellent opportunity.
I collected yesterday's battle data. The casualty ratio between the two sides shows that the Jackals are not real barbarians. They have their own way of fighting.
If we follow their rhythm, we will only be dragged to death. We must let them move according to our rhythm!
Actions like 'Hungry Birds' should be carried out more frequently, at least once every three days. Lead part of their army into the tunnel to eliminate them, and let them run like hounds chasing rabbits to maximize their numerical advantage.
Even so, once the gnolls figure out the doorway and start marching towards the filthy swamp, we have no good way to stop them."
"I admit that you are right. I am just a frontline commander. I am responsible for tactics. You decide the strategy."
The veteran of the Qing Dynasty raised his hands to indicate that he was not interested in arguing with Five Pairs of Wheels on this issue, but he actually had his own ideas in mind.
He knew the origin of the five pairs of wheels.
This guy did too much theoretical work. Listen to what he did, so the mission was canceled because the risk was too great?
Hey, no wonder he was scolded by the players. Isn't this just a slap in the face of that team?
This guy may know about fighting, but he doesn't know about players.
And as he said, jackals are not fools. Wanting the other party to follow their own way of war is a problem that has troubled military theorists from another world for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Continue to attack their lines of communication!"
After finishing his tea, Lao Qin decided to leave as planned. He said to his two lieutenants:
"The number of jackals is so large, and the Barren Mountains don't have that many resources for them to resupply on the spot. They cut off food routes and block water sources, forcing them to invest more power in transportation lines. Once they scatter people, our purpose
That's it.
From the current point of view, Lord Murphy's 'attraction' to the Jackals is still very strong. As long as he shows up from time to time, there is a high probability that the Jackals will not evacuate here in the short term.
The only question is, can the vanguard of the Winter Wolf Legion in Baphomet Canyon cut off the gnolls' path to the Filthy Swamp?
I don't want to underestimate them, but I guess it's really difficult for them to do it with the existing manpower and that bad terrain.
Therefore, be more conservative strategically, be more aggressive tactically, and let the brothers take action! Now we have defended the first day, and there are still nineteen days left before the basic goal of twenty days.
At least thirty days!
This is the bottom line!
No matter what you do, you must keep it!"
Lao Qin is very confident, but the problem is that the impact of this action plan in the eyes of players is completely different.
"What? Are you going to send NPCs to come and act with us? Are you kidding me?"
Brother Mingmiao, who was still waiting for new orders at the rest area at point A of the tunnel, received a message from a veteran of the Qing Dynasty. He was eating dried meat and immediately stood up. He said:
"Don't make trouble, brother, NPCs will be tired, scared, and impulsive. They are all living people. They will scream in pain when they are hit, they will be weak when they bleed, and they will collapse when they are hit. They will self-destruct if they disagree with us.
The cold-blooded madman is different.
To put it bluntly, if we are really in a desperate situation, we can only die and wait for three days. If we let them come now, we have to consider their evacuation when we act.
Is the command center dizzy?
Isn’t this just causing trouble for us?”
"You are not the only one who has been assigned a servant army. All players who have been assigned to the combat order have an NPC servant army, so don't complain."
A Qing Dynasty veteran explained:
"These NPCs are all carefully selected elites. They will not hinder you in normal operations. When they were selected to join the blockade, they already had the psychological preparation to die in battle, but this is part of Transia's military training.
, so you'd better not really use them as cannon fodder.
The thirty-man team assigned to you has already set off and will meet you in about four hours.
Listen up, your next task is a bit difficult.
After rendezvous, bring enough supplies and take Tunnel 2 along point A to enter the complex underground structure of Black Flame Pass. The defenders of Fort Courage will also send some scouts to meet you there.
There is no specific goal for the next mission, but there is a KPI. Master Qin requires us to cut off the food routes of the jackals in the deserted mountains to the greatest extent, so next you have to hunt there and attack all the jackals' food transport teams.
You choose your goals and take the actions yourself.
If you need air support, say hello in advance. There are also bombardiers from the Blood Vulture Clan at Fort Courage, but it's best to make a plan before the war begins.
In addition, besides you, there are five other teams operating in that area, all under my command system, so remember to report to me when you want to carry out a more difficult interception, and I will coordinate and communicate."
"Damn! There are KPIs in this battle. It really makes us and other players unable to have freedom."
Brother Meow Meow complained:
"How do you calculate the spoils of war? The headquarters can't just make people work without giving them food, right?"
"The results of last night's attack are being tallied. Why are you anxious? The spoils of this operation will be discounted for you, and all material consumption during the operation will be paid for by the headquarters."
A veteran of the Qing Dynasty explained:
"The logistics system also needs to be established slowly, right? You can't have the players bear the responsibility for their own profits and losses in every battle. With free actions like the one below, all seizures belong to you. You can sell them yourself or find a logistics office to discount them."
"Hey, this is great. Finally, the headquarters has become a human again."
Brother Miao Miao is finally satisfied.
He received the map of the defense area he was responsible for from the veteran, and then led his brothers to plunder the material warehouse at point A. He even took 20 boxes of the gold-burning sniper bombs used by Lao Qu.
Everyone’s spiritual energy is packed to the brim before they stop.
Four hours later, the team of 30 people who moved along the tunnel finally reached point A.
The leader was a veteran witch hunter who was recruited by the People's Army. He gave Brother Mew Miao a military salute simply and neatly, and Brother Mew Miao also returned the military salute.
Since both of them are believers of Avalon Boss, the conversation was natural. The veteran reported to Brother Mow Miao:
"We brought fifteen commandos, five engineers and two medics. The last three are hunters. They can form different combat groups with your team members. We have left a suicide note before we set off.
I know your too wild fighting style, but don't feel pressured, Brother Meow Meow.
We will not hold you back."
"I hope so."
Brother Miao Miao sighed and glanced at the two male and one female hunters. He could tell at a glance that these were new recruits. Although they may have received strict training, the greenness of the new recruits could not be concealed.
"Laoqu, Yansang, the three of them belong to you two."
Meow Meow said to the two hunters in his guild:
"We will set off in a moment. You can lead them along the tunnel to investigate. The veteran told me that the tunnel will be exposed soon, so you have to be careful about the kobolds coming from nowhere."
"Don't worry, we are professionals."
Yan Sang chuckled, glanced at the huntress carrying a gun, and whispered:
"What do you call young lady?"
"Shua"
The somewhat nervous female soldier straightened her body reflexively when asked by the "War Hero of Transia", and she said loudly:
"Cadman People's Army Chassor Corporal Mia Fulgosen salutes you! Second Lieutenant Yansang, your feats in the Blood Flag Highlands have become a legend that inspires us to continue fighting."
"Tsk, you are really good at talking, I like it."
Yan Sang was even more satisfied.
He put his hands on his hips and said to the three hunters in front of him:
"I will be your big brother from now on. I will protect you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. But be careful to follow the orders and don't mess around. Our brother Qu is a very cold sniper master. It's really annoying.
He has good fruits for you to eat.
In addition, you must be energetic at all times! Only by being energetic enough can you win every battle!"
"As long as you talk a lot, let's get going."
Brother Qu, who was holding a stick of sweetroot in his mouth and pretending to be an expert, curled his lips and carried his anti-tank gun behind his back. After taking a few steps, he rolled his eyes and handed his gun to the tallest corporal of the Jaeger.
,explain:
"You carry it for me, and by the way, get familiar with the structure and use of this special firearm. Since you become a hunter, you must have a sniper's heart. We don't bother to slaughter weak enemies. Only the truly strong are worth it.
We greet with bullets!
Not much else to say, I will teach you the next steps."

"Our grain truck was raided last night, more than once. The two grain trucks that planned to pass through the Black Flame Pass last night were completely wiped out. All the grain was burned and sent there to protect the communication line.
The elite also died in the attack of the Transians.
Those bastards also ambushed our team that went to seize the water source, and the soldiers who escaped reported that the Transians were as elusive as ghosts."
In the wolf camp outside the Shadow Valley, which was besieging the city, Priest Manson said to Xu Gesen, who was bathing in blood and recovering quickly:
"Obviously, the Transians used a method beyond our expectations to complete the penetration of the battle line. They appeared at our rear and front at the same time. The kobolds sent out said that there was a complex tunnel structure underground.
Your previous prediction was accurate, Hugersen.
The Transians have no intention of fighting a positional battle with us, they have adopted a more effective and cunning method. They are learning to fight in the way of the kobolds, but they are far more ferocious and powerful than the kobolds."
"As expected."
Xu Gesen buried most of his body in the blood of the large bathtub. The divine power from the Lord of the Hunt was dispelling the power belonging to the Quetzalcoatl Sun God Kulkan, causing its burnt hair and wounds to slowly heal with every breath.
It endured the pain and said in a mute voice:
"They want to cut off our supplies. They know very well that in this barren area of Barren Mountain, we can't find more supplies and can't open up food channels. If we only rely on time to consume, we will become weak and chaotic.
Send the kobolds underground!
Destroy their tunnels and fight them underground, and let our soldiers outside the barren mountains also mobilize to protect the food transport team and reorganize the communication lines as soon as possible."
"Are you still going to carry out the siege plan here?"
Manson frowned and said:
"You know this is meaningless. Murphy obviously has a strange way to dispel divine power. You can't kill him now."
"At least I can trap him! The leader of the Transians being trapped in the Shadow Valley will put more pressure on their defense. Once Murphy, the leader of the camp, is allowed to move freely throughout the battlefield to boost the enemy's morale,
The situation will only become more troublesome."
Xu Gesen soaked most of his body in blood. He thought about it, and then said in a more serious tone:
"Send hunting electors to command the kobolds, and let them enter the tunnels to hunt the undead. Isn't that why I brought them here?
Transians are very good prey and opponents!
If they want to make pious offerings to the Lord of the Hunt, then this is the perfect time!
They have goals and enemies here, and all they need to do is keep fighting until death comes.
Lord Manson, Warlord Hass has led his people to break through the Filthy Swamp. As long as it breaks through the Nords' defense in Baphomet Canyon, the Transians' conspiracy will be self-defeating.
There is no need for a spellcasting power like yours to waste time here with me. Go to the battlefield and display your destructive power.
The Lord of Hunting screams in my mind. He is eager to see more killing and blood. We are all serving this noble goal. I am not qualified to ask you to stop your dedication to the gods because of me."
"What a noble awareness."
Manson marveled:
"Then I won't hide it from you, Xu Gesen. I have a way to destroy the Shadow Valley. In fact, I have already made secret preparations. We don't even need to make many modifications. We only need to put the Transians at the Black Flame Pass."
