Chapter 771 770 The new decisive weapon! Come, let us dig to the sky
Chapter 771 770. The new decisive weapon! Come on, let’s dig to the end of the sky - additional update [330]
(Additional update for the "Frostfang Claw" brothers [3/5])
The astral wolves made a big fuss and messed up the frontline defense of Shadow Valley. The jackals took advantage of the opportunity and immediately followed up when the wolves retreated in the ice fog, taking advantage of the time when the Winter Wolf Legion reorganized the defense line.
In one fell swoop, they captured two of the three suspension bridges in front of the valley, and launched an attack on the last suspension bridge.
Players must react quickly at critical moments.
When they realized that the Jackals were about to seize the bridge, these foreigners who had just fought with the Astral Wolves rushed over as quickly as possible, and fought a bloody battle with the Jackals under the leadership of a group of high-end players who rushed back to the valley.
For more than an hour, they were not allowed to cross the bridge.
After the Nords at the rear regrouped, the players withdrew from the battlefield, but even so, the defense of Shadow Valley had been partially dismantled.
Then the last bridge was taken by the jackals, and a standard terrain of catching turtles in an urn was formed.
The headquarters was aware of this risk. Under the command of five pairs of wheels, the players walking in the tunnel carried out multiple attacks on the area occupied by the Jackals for the next two days and three nights, hoping to force the Jackals to return to the rear.
However, this strategy has been discovered by Xu Gesen.
It understands that it has reached a critical moment. As long as it can break through the final defense of the Transians in the Shadow Valley, it can occupy this key point and then master the intricate tunnel system in the Barren Mountain area from the source, and put the Transians in this
The ambush strategy in a long and narrow area was completely defeated.
Therefore, Xu Gesen not only did not return to defense, but instead devoted all his elite troops to the attack on Shadow Valley.
They adopted a primitive but effective offensive. Xugersen sent out all the kobolds under his command to dig new tunnels under the mountain and sneak into the valley.
This movement cannot be hidden from the earth priests.
As long as the kobolds dug a tunnel, they would immediately collapse it, but the gnolls also used clumsy earthquake techniques to continuously peel off the mountain in the rift valley of the valley to create a second road besides the suspension bridge.
These two tasks were carried out at the same time. With the huge numerical advantage of the jackals, the earth priests were busy without touching the ground.
Anyone can see the sinister intentions of the gnolls, and the defenders in the valley also realize that the day of decisive battle is approaching.
The two sides on the surface were confronting each other in preparation for the final battle, but in the tunnels, the intensity of the encounter had already escalated to a new level.
"There are kobolds in front and behind! Boss, we can't get out, these dogs have blocked us."
The "Pride of the Tribe", a large guild in the new group, was performing daily tasks to regain the water source, but they encountered a dangerous situation as soon as they passed through the tunnel. The team of fifty people was blocked in a long and narrow tunnel by kobolds.
After Chenlong realized that a fierce battle was inevitable, he decisively ordered his team members to follow him and rush to the mission location.
The kobolds can't stop them, this is already the consensus of the players.
If the gnolls don't plan to hunt the elects or send barbarians down, then this little obstacle won't be enough to make the players give up on the mission.
The facts turned out as Chen Long had expected. In the face of their aggressive attack, the armed kobolds blocking the way in front quickly dispersed. But before the players could rush out of the tunnel with overwhelming force, a violent psychic cracking followed.
The stone walls surrounding the tunnel exploded.
"grass!"
Chen Long only had time to let out a roar, and the large piece of soil above his head fell down in the vibration, pressing down the brother in front of him.
This is just the beginning.
Soon more lysis techniques were released, and a few minutes later, the entire tunnel collapsed, and the heavy soil pressed down on the players, suffocating them quickly even if they were not crushed to death immediately.
The shallowest tunnels dug by the dwarves are five meters above the ground. It is impossible to break the surface and rush out, so this kind of "terrain killing" is basically unsolvable in this situation.
This tunnel disintegration not only buried fifty players, but also buried more than a hundred kobolds who were passing by. However, the blood scar priests who launched the disintegration technique behind the tunnel did not even look at this place, nor did they go to clean it up.
That ruin, after recording the kill, turned around and left.
Obviously, the jackals have lost interest in this "underground hide-and-seek", and they have begun to use more efficient ways to deal with underground threats.
The news of the tragic demise of Chenlong's team was quickly posted on the forum by the angry president. In this way, he not only warned other players, but also conveyed this change in the details of the war to the headquarters.
Fortunately, he didn't bring his most expensive dwarf plate armor with him when he went out today, otherwise the loss would have been enough to make Chenlong vomit blood.
"Another tunnel collapse? How many times has this happened?"
The current leader of the headquarters, "Five Pairs of Wheels", has realized that something is wrong. He used a chat tool to form a group offline. Through the summary of the young staff, a new situation was revealed.
"There have been five tunnel collapses in three days. This number is very abnormal, sir."
Domestic007 concluded:
"I have discussed it with my classmates. I think the Jackals are deliberately using this kind of 'terrain killing' to restrict our tactical penetration and free movement. We checked the structure of several collapsed tunnels and found that the Jackals are not doing it casually.
Creating collapses, they are artificially dividing our tunnels.
They are compressing our activity space, forcing us to give up our flexibility in moving through narrower terrain. The final result of this tactic is that we will be squeezed into tunnels that cannot be connected, and will be forced to fight head-on decisive battles with the gnolls.
Although they do not have heavy weapons, they have found a way to restrain us."
"Another point!"
The female staff officer of Domestic 013 also spoke:
"I think this is an 'intimidation' tactic implemented by the Jackals. After the players realize that the tunnel they are in may collapse at any time, our actions will become cautious. Even if the players are not afraid and follow the players
Action NPCs will also be scared.
They are using this cruel method to destroy our morale.
We have to find a way."
"The Earth Priests are now trapped by the dual actions of the kobolds digging into the valley and the gnolls splitting the mountain. They can't spare the time to help us reopen the tunnel."
The five pairs of wheels pondered and said:
"So, the actions of the Jackals are not a single masterstroke, but a unified overall plan. Do you have any ideas?"
"My suggestion is that instead of waiting for the gnolls to scare us, we should take the same approach."
Domestic 013 suggested:
"There is no need to stick to the original exit shaft of the tunnel. Let the players move freely and launch 'pressure' operations against the Jackal base camp with more frequent cold shots. They are also carbon-based creatures, and they also need to rest!
Our players run away after the fight and quickly move through the tunnels. If they dare to chase them, they will be buried."
"Well, okay, what else?"
"I found that some players reported that they had seen jackals hunting astral wolves for fresh meat more than once. Those astral wolves are hard to find and are avoiding direct conflict with the jackals. If we can find a way to intensify the two sides
The contradiction can at least restrain part of the werewolf's energy."
Another staff officer said:
"We have an advantage in this regard. The Jackals do not have a systematic air force, and their reconnaissance is far inferior to ours."
"Since we are talking about the air force, why can't our air force directly launch an air strike on the Jackal base camp?"
Domestic 007 asked in confusion:
"Didn't vampires use aerial bombs before? With more of those big killers, we can blow them up completely. Air superiority is a very important part, but I have never seen Mr. Qin use this advantage.
"
"The arsenal is in the process of producing new weapons, and they don't have the manpower to produce excess high-altitude explosives."
Five pairs of wheels explained:
"But the good news is that we will have new guns available soon, which are several times more powerful than the current meager firepower. But until the new weapons are delivered, we have to continue to persevere."
"What about explosives? There should be enough supply of ordinary explosives, right?"
A young staff officer who was rarely noticed suddenly said:
"If we borrow the existing tunnels, without relying on the Earth Priest, we can rely on the soil work of players and NPCs to dig tunnels under the Jackal's base camp, choose a good location, and bury enough explosives.
Let’s try making a ‘earth plane’ for them.
We can even use this chaos to conduct a central attack on the enemy's base camp. Even if it is just to boost morale, I think we should give it a try.
In fact, I have always wanted to say, wouldn't it be possible to dig tunnels without the Earth Priest?
Our predecessors could dig out tunnels quickly and well with engineering shovels, but they always relied on the earth priests, didn't they sacrifice the good for the sake of the weak?
When the old tunnels were blown up, new ones were dug.
Once the old tunnel was discovered, it was dug out from an unexpected place and the battle continued.
This is the essence of flexibility in tunnel warfare.
It is convenient to rely on a complete tunnel system to fight now, but it also loses the core of flexibility and change.
I am willing to go to the front line myself and give it a try according to my ideas.
I was an engineer before entering the military academy. I think this method is feasible. I need some people and enough explosives.
Five days! I only need five days!”
"003, you sound nice, but you actually just want to go to the battlefield to have a good time, right?"
"Hey, if you find out, can you just say it's okay? If you don't have 100% confidence in your tactical plan, how can you be a good consultant?"
"good!"
Five pairs of wheels thought for a while, then decided:
"I can mobilize and conduct a raid of about a thousand people based on your suggestion. As for the players you need, go to the forum to recruit them yourself. Others mobilize players and NPCs to clear the bombed tunnels, 003 said
That’s right, without the Earth Priest, wouldn’t we be able to fight?
Since the People's Army has issued engineer shovels, it should use them in the right place.
Master Qin gave us the command of Shadow Valley, even if it’s just for the sake of our face, we must keep it until we complete the mission!"
——
I am very happy to have received the authorization of "Domestic 003".
This guy excitedly logged into the game. He no longer wore the uniform of a staff officer of the People's Army. Instead, he changed into a set of veteran leather armor like other newbies, and brought along the expert adventure assistant supported by Master Qin. He looked presentable.
left the headquarters.
He had just chatted with Chen Long on the forum. After learning that this guy had a plan that could help him and his brothers vent their anger, Chen Long readily agreed to cooperate and asked him to go to the tavern to find his brother Hai.
pig.
Haizhu also got the news and was waiting in the private room on the second floor of the tavern in advance. When he saw 003 pushing the door in, the vampire Haizhu was stunned.
"Hey, with your ID, you are a member of the command center?"
Hai Zhu asked curiously:
"Didn't you not participate in specific actions? What? You made a mistake and were fired by Mr. Qin?"
"Hahaha, just think that I have been fired."
003 laughed and did not tell Haizhu more about the headquarters. He knew that many players were guessing about the identities of the "professionals" recruited by Master Qin, so he skipped self-introduction and talked about business directly.
.
He took out a general map of Shadow Valley, pointed to the two points on it and said to Hai Zhu:
"Brother Chenlong probably told you, right?
What we are going to conduct is a special tunnel battle. You see, this point is the central area of Tunnel No. 5. The straight-line distance from here to the current base camp area of the Jackals is only 7 kilometers. We will use it in the next five days.
Use your hands to dig a tunnel directly to their heart area, and then use explosives to complete an underground blast.
I have been authorized. As long as the first phase of our operation is completed, the headquarters will dispatch about 1,000 troops to support us in killing the Wolfmen's base camp."
"Fuck, that sounds so exciting! This is a dirt plane!"
Haizhu laughed and flapped his wings behind his back, but he quickly pointed at the map and said:
"That's not right. Why did you choose Tunnel No. 5? Tunnel No. 11 is obviously closer to the Jackal camp. Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to start digging from here?"
"Because it has been discovered there, there have been 25 large-scale battles around Tunnel No. 11 in the past seven days. It is a high-risk area, and there is a high probability that soil work will be discovered there. The first priority of this operation is to ensure that
Hidden."
003 patiently explained:
"And the gnolls are not fools. Their psionic masters have been monitoring the movements under the nearby earth, so I chose Tunnel No. 5 after careful selection.
It is 61 meters from the deepest point on the surface, and the general depth is about 30 meters. It is one of the deepest tunnels dug by the dwarves. Therefore, our soil work is not a straight line. To be precise, we have to dig an incline.
The three-dimensional tunnel at about 11° can ensure that no movement will be detected by the psionicist when approaching the destination."
"This is too much work."
Hai Zhu frowned and said:
"We don't have a shield machine, so we can dig it with our hands in five days. Is that okay?"
"If you look at the battle cases in the forum, you will know that the difficulty of such soil work was not even ranked in the top fifty during the war years of our ancestors."
Domestic 003 shook his head and said:
"It's really not that difficult, the only problem is time, which means our players may need a lot of willpower."
"'Our players', this term is really strange. It makes it seem like you are not one of us."
Hai Zhu flicked his tongue, shook his head and said:
"Brother, it's not good to be separated from the masses. You are also a player. Since it is your plan, and since the boss has agreed, then the remaining seventy brothers in our guild have nothing to say, just do it!
Just think of it as a tribute to our ancestors, when will it start?"
"If it's convenient, now."
003 shrugged and said:
"It's not too late."
"Okay, you wait until I gather people."
Hai Zhu was unambiguous and immediately went to the forum to call friends.
003 grinned, feeling that the players were so reckless and cute, they seemed to always have such trust in their own people.
With this in mind, 003 stood up and planned to go to the tavern to experience the daily life of the players. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the "star player" Ju Shark walking out of the house next to him with a weak look on his face, holding on to the wall.
As Shark walked, he wiped the hickeys on his face and neck with a handkerchief.
He was mumbling nonsense like "It's too exciting" and "I'm still young, so don't do this".
When he saw 003 looking at him curiously, Jusha's face turned red, and the Wamu Berserker actually covered his face and ran out in shame and anger, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
Domestic 003 curiously glanced at the house next to him, and happened to see the shadow elf proprietress of the tavern wearing quite "simple" clothes leaning against the door to experience the afterglow of just now. She drank wine and dumped 003.
A wink.
Now, the innocent 003 finally knew what the giant shark was doing just now.
Damn it!
Is this game so pornographic?
It’s really 18+, awesome, brother!
Domestic 003 is also a good boy. He ran from the second floor to the first floor as if he was running away. He was about to order a glass of wine to get close to the giant shark and ask about some interesting details, but then he was attacked by a bear-like man.
Nord soldiers blocked the way.
"Hey, I just heard from the guys from the 'Unfallen Pride' mercenary group that you are organizing a surprise attack on the Jackal base camp?"
The drunken Nord wiped his mouth and said:
"My brother was killed by a jackal. My other brothers don't want to go on vacation with an unfinished failure. Is your plan feasible? Do you still need manpower?"
"Zhuo, the players' strict sense of confidentiality is really disappointing."
003 slapped his face and eyes, he sighed, looked at the giant man in front of him who was three heads taller than him, and said:
"If you just leave with me, won't your commander cause trouble for me?"
"My commander was bitten to death by an astral wolf, and Colonel Barsomyan was injured again. We are still waiting for reassignment. Now we are free to move around during the vacation."
The Yankee cursed rudely:
"I don't even say anything with my head stuck to my waistband, why do you have so many things going on? Just say it, okay?"
"How many of you are there?"
003 said:
"I don't want it if there are less people."
"There are more than 200 people, including even more wounded soldiers. Is this enough?"
"Well, okay, bring the engineering shovels, call for people to gather, and we will set off immediately. But there is one thing, you must obey the orders and follow the instructions. It doesn't matter if your own head is gone. If the battle fails because of you, you will wait to join the military.
