My players are so fierce.

Chapter 709 708. Lao Qin’s way of shaking people off

Because the fall of Black Flame Pass was too sudden, and the scale of the battle was so large that most players entered the process of "waiting for resurrection", the Shadow Valley was much quieter than the previous noisy situation.

Those veteran players who survived took over the mission from Maxim and took flying mounts to Fort Courage to perform defense and garrison. The newbies also received the mission to escort a large number of soldiers from Black Flame Pass back to the Maginot Line of Defense.

Captain Paula's three airships flew almost one after another, and they couldn't take any time off at all.

According to Murphy's order, they must send these tired soldiers to the rear to rest as soon as possible in order to quickly restore their morale. In order to do this, Murphy even lost money to "capitalist" Lao Huo and Maomaotu. The mission requires Booty Bay's entertainment facilities to be prepared to receive soldiers.

It just so happened that Booty Bay Casino, which was very popular before, had seen a lot of decline in customer traffic due to the wartime system. This wave could be considered a "promotional event."

This wave is a hit, after all, you can't expect the soldiers with their heads stuck in their waistbands to have any elegant hobbies. For example, the favorite place for the soldiers of the Plantagenet Pioneer Battalion to go on vacation is Booty Bay. If the cunning Zealanders like it, then the blood alliance retinues will definitely like it too.

And this was also an effective way to boost Transia's economy during wartime.

Lao Huo even gave the Scarlet Archon a scaled-down version of the "military supporting services" schedule, which was roughly based on the development model of certain special areas in the real world. The economic development plan is a bit confusing, mainly because this plan involves some very vulgar things, which may conflict with certain ideas of some players who have a strong sense of justice.

But after thinking about it, she decided to conduct a pilot project in Booty Bay.

After all, given the dire economic situation in Transia, which is either going bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy, it is urgent to find new profit growth points. If this plan proves to be really useful, it will now be completely pragmatic. Miriam didn't mind having a hand in Booty Cove's development.

Murphy did not interfere with these things, leaving them all to the Scarlet Archon and administrative players to work freely. Now dealing with the threat of war is still his top priority.

Not only Murphy, Lao Qin and Happy Stick, who issued military orders to the commanders a few hours ago, also made a special trip back to Wolfsburg before going offline, where they found several leaders of the Masons Brotherhood.

"Hey, Lao Chen, why are you still injured?"

Mr. Qin walked into a room in Wolf Castle and happened to see Old Chen sitting on a chair with his arms hanging and a sigh on his face. The old soldier felt surprised and stepped forward to ask:

"Aren't you a non-combatant?"

"Don't mention it. A few boys and I also participated in the previous blocking battle against the Undead Warriors in Dead Space. But after all, we are old and our skills are not as good as before. I was slashed by the opponent's sword, but I quickly retaliated with a gun. Color!"

Old Chentou said with a sigh on his face:

“With the plot of the game now advanced, we administrative players really can’t go to the battlefield because the intensity of the battle is too high.

I'm done with it now, all the Gray Fighters are offline now.

I'm not telling you why these young people are so vain. "

"How can you be as strong as you are?"

The brick mover who was serving Old Chentou next to him complained:

"Besides, wasn't the Asher accidentally killed by the undead because he was trying to protect you during your retreat?"

"cough cough"

Professor Chen, who had a confused expression on his face, glared at his traitor fiercely, and made the brick-carrying man leave the room with a smile, and went to the door to chat and brag with Brother Bang.

He obviously guessed that Lao Qin and Lao Chen must have something to say.

"Tell me, what are you doing here, a busy man like me?"

Professor Chen still had several piles of unfinished design drawings on hand. He hung his arms and said to Lao Qin sitting opposite:

"I guess it has something to do with the next war plan?"

"Yes, I want you to produce a design drawing."

Lao Qin, adhering to the professional demeanor, did not waste time on small talk and went straight to the point:

"The main specification requirement is a set of defense line planning that can be used for tunnel operations. The Shadow Valley is the starting point and the Dirty Swamp is the end point. During this period, this narrow area of ​​almost 150 kilometers is the main body. It is based on the lines below the Black Flame Pass position. The complex structure is used as a reference to set up a transportation network.

It should be enough to accommodate all current players and some NPCs who are good at stealth operations to fight through it.

You know, the terrain of Shadow Valley is not suitable for positional warfare. I only came up with this crooked idea after thinking hard. To buy enough time for the follow-up operations, I have to adopt some unusual combat plans. "

"Tunnel battle!"

Old Chen frowned and said:

"I won't mention the specific design indicators for now. What are you going to do with the man-hours and manpower required to lay so many tunnels in such a large area? When I evacuated from the front line, I heard Miss Femis say that the astral realm at Black Flame Pass is torn apart. The huge amount of dirty energy that fell will dissipate in half a month to twenty days at most.

In other words, we will not have more than twenty days to prepare.

Even with psychic assistance, the time is too short. "

"The silver dwarves will help."

Lao Qin shook his head and said:

"I visited the Supreme Lord of the Silver Dwarf before I came here. The thin old dwarf was repenting for the loss of the Holy Land of Mother Goddess Gaia. After hearing about our idea, he said that he would mobilize a large number of earth priests to come and help. .

Moreover, he emphasized that if the underground passage network was simply shaped and did not involve the reinforcement of earth rituals and the construction of fortresses, then the means at the disposal of the earth priests could complete this kind of planning within twenty days.

Besides, I don’t require all the tunnels to be excavated at once. We can do it one phase at a time, and first complete the tunnel network near Shadow Valley to give the Jackals a powerful start.

You can build the latter ones slowly, but I have a few hard requirements.

First of all, you must find a way to design the planned tunnels with enough hiding stations and safe nodes for players to rest and log off. Once this tactic is implemented, we will have to walk underground on a large scale for a long time, and stealth operations are a very important criterion.

Secondly, a certain amount of leeway must be left for tunnel fighting.

Once the gnolls discover that we are hiding underground, they will definitely send a huge number of kobolds to fight us in the tunnels. The opponent's numerical advantage in that terrain will be offset, but it also means that we need to fight frequently.

Therefore, if the structure is more complicated, it is best to make it in three-dimensional form.

Finally, connect the exit of this tunnel to the underground palace of Baphomet. Once the front line is lost, we can retreat into the natural maze and continue fighting.

Lord Murphy arranged for an NPC in advance to help us explore the upper structure of Baphoon's underground palace, but the jackals couldn't figure out its details in a short time. The best situation is to let them and Baphoon hide in it. Believers formed enmities. "

"Sounds complicated."

Old Chen shook his head and said:

“There are basically no samples that can be used as a reference in reality.”

"Have!"

Lao Qin showed a subtle smile and said softly:

"Give me your contact information, and I will send you some structural diagrams of tunnels used in large-scale battles that actually exist and are still in use in reality. You can just modify them according to them.

Unless this matter requires professionals, this kind of information cannot be provided according to regulations.

Just watch it for yourself, don't spread it everywhere. "

Lao Qin's strange smile made Lao Chen's heart tremble. He coughed and said:

"But even if the tunnel can be designed, the dwarves can complete the excavation on time. However, the command of this kind of distributed multi-point battle is a big problem. I think it may not be possible with the current combat quality of the players."

"You don't have to worry about this. I will find some professionals in this field to come in. The quotas have been applied for. And I have always felt that the Calculation Orb is a very wonderful alien thing. It only needs to undergo necessary modifications to form A very convenient node-based command system.”

Lao Qin played with the expert adventure assistant fixed on his arm and said:

“You know, I’ve been trying to get players to learn regular combat, but with little success.

After fighting so many battles, I realized that the most suitable method for them is actually guerrilla warfare. It is the stage where individual heroism is best displayed. Within the framework of collectivism, I believe they can always use their own destructive tactics. Ahem , I mean strange tricks, to complete some incredible tasks unexpectedly.

In short, I leave the tunnel design to you.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. Is three days enough? "

"If the information you gave us is really powerful, three days will definitely be enough. After all, just modifying it according to the terrain is not starting from scratch." Old Chentou pondered for a moment and said:

"I can get my students together and do a big graduation project. It's not difficult."

"Okay, that's it. I'll wait for your good news."

After saying that, Lao Qin stood up and left.

After he left, Professor Chen went offline and waited for more than ten minutes. Then there was a friend request and some more information appeared in the mailbox. After decompressing the information and seeing the confidentiality level on the top of the information, Old Chen felt numb.

Good guy.

Are you giving this top-secret information so casually?

You guys really don’t pretend anymore, but I’ve only heard about it before, but I didn’t expect that in the real world there really is such a giant network of underground tunnels that covers an entire area and is still in use?

Gee, today is an eye-opener.
-

After Mr. Qin arranged tasks for Happy Stick and several other commanders, he also went offline in Shadow Valley.

The moment he took off his helmet, he moved his body, pushed the wheelchair out of the study, and chatted with his wife who was listening to the opera. As expected, he was disliked and said that he was still so addicted to online games even though he was still in his 70s.

Lao Qin couldn't explain to his wife how exciting and exciting things were there. He could only angrily say what he wanted to eat today, and then went to the balcony alone to light a cigarette, and took out his mobile phone to browse through his address book. He flipped through it, then dialed a number and went out.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, why do you, a busy man like you, think of calling me?"

The other person responded with a rather bold voice.

He sounds like a middle-aged man. In the military, a place that likes to rank based on seniority, he should be Mr. Qin's junior.

In their slang terms, the soldiers led by Lao Qin always speak more openly among themselves, so Mr. Qin was not polite, and the lion said loudly:

"Isn't this asking for your help? Are there any talented guys among the young men you have in the past few periods? Lend me a few. I can use them. Don't think too much about it. It's a serious task for my department. It's considered a secondment. ."

"Huh? Talented? Which aspect are you referring to?"

The voice on the other side immediately became serious. He asked, and Lao Qin explained:

"In terms of command, to be precise, the staff profession assists in formulating combat plans and is responsible for implementation. Due to work needs, a simple staff department needs to be established here. The work form is quite special. It is difficult for me to find people in active service, so you The students next to me are very suitable.

I want fifteen people.

Don't ask about the task content, don't ask about the goals, and don't ask for too many details. Just find people for me, and I'll give them a temporary establishment, and a dedicated person will contact them. "

"Is it so mysterious?"

The voice on the other side was a little puzzled, and he complained:

"Can't you just come to me for this? Students have been on vacation recently, and the pandemic has made people panic. I am also free now. I have long heard that you are selecting people, and it is very mysterious.

I'm still wondering, am I not your favorite soldier?

Have I fallen out of favor? "

"You? Let's forget it."

Lao Qin pouted and said:

"You can't keep up with the times. But since we need to use your students, it's not a good idea not to let you participate. Okay, I'll send you an application, fill it out carefully, and then wait for the news. I'll send it to you later. The combat requirements will be sent to you.

Get vaccinated in advance, that thing may look more magical, but just take it as real.

Also, let me emphasize that this is a national task!

Don't talk nonsense, you know the confidentiality rules.

We will get everyone involved and understand it within three days, and we will do the rest after we go online.

Oh, I have nothing to do in the past few days, so I dug out the information on tunnel warfare and tunnel warfare to review it. It will come in handy for the mission. "

"what?"

This conversation was difficult to explain to the other party, but Mr. Qin didn't explain much, just exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

There was an aroma wafting from the kitchen. Lao Qin rubbed his belly and pushed his wheelchair to go there, but soon a message came on his phone. He looked down and raised his eyebrows.

That's a code word.

A field operation representing his department has ended, and an important figure is on his way back home.

"It's time to go out again."

Master Qin sighed.

He doesn't know how much longer he can hold on with his old arms and legs. Thinking of being able to jump and jump back to his youthful self in Transia, he couldn't help but sigh like many players.

This reality is really a bad game.

A few hours later, Brother Zhongzhong, who had just returned home from get off work and was drinking the soup cooked by Huang Lian Po, received a call. He sighed, finished the soup in a few mouthfuls, and got up to get dressed.

This surprised his wife and son.

It’s already this hour and you still want to go out?

"Mission, don't ask any questions, I won't be back tonight."

Brother Zhongzhong, who was wearing a mask, hugged his wife. Although he usually complained, he still cared about his wife at critical moments. He gave his son a few words and then opened the door and went downstairs.

After waiting for ten minutes at the gate of the community, a car drove up. As soon as the door opened, several of his subordinates were on it. Everyone's face showed a sense of boredom and helplessness about working overtime, but there was nothing they could do. You have to shoulder the responsibility if you join this line of work.

What's more, things are different this time.

"Let me tell my family in the next few days that we will be staying at the 'Operation and Maintenance Group' site for a few days."

Brother Zhongzhong, Brother Luangzi, and the tall Jiewei Chike who were sitting in the back seat were crowded together. He took out cigarettes and distributed them to his subordinates while saying:

"Master Qin needs to come over personally to check on the situation. It would be bad if he catches you making mistakes at work and then gives you a lecture."

"Hey, the big boss is here in person. Does this count as netizens' offline homosexuality?"

Mr. Ziwei, who was driving, grinned, making several people in the car laugh.

Well, with the current status of them playing the same game, this wave is really considered an offline base.

The nanny car carrying four grown men sped along the almost deserted city streets and quietly entered the airport under the night. There were some capable guys from the brother department in the airport that was deserted due to the closure of the pandemic. Busy.

Not long after, an escorted stretcher was pushed into the hall.

Brother Zhongzhong stepped forward quickly and took a look at the girl who was lying on the stretcher and was so thin that she was too thin. He reached out his hand and patted the sleeping girl gently on the cheek.

When the person wearing a respirator opened his eyes blankly, he greeted softly:

"Welcome home, Cement."

"Well"

Hearing this greeting from the familiar mother tongue, Sister Cement, who had been guilty of a lot of trouble recently, couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes turned red and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's all over. It's okay."

Brother Zhongzhong couldn't stop crying. He hurriedly wiped her tears, but was scolded by the nurse who was accompanying him. This meant that this special patient was too weak and could not have too many mood swings.

But that doesn't matter.

Although there were ups and downs along the way, the outcome was good and everything was fine.
