Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Battle of the Mock War
"A team of explorers has sent back information that they have discovered a super bonanza area?"
The news quickly spread throughout New Tonya City, causing a stir.
This kind of exploration mission is actually very common, and the explorer is not only exploring the mining area, but also including map information and the like, such as the properties and tree species of a certain area, whether there are powerful beasts in a certain area, and whether a certain area is really a forbidden area for life.
In most cases, even if you come back empty-handed, you will be able to recoup a certain amount of cost with the information you collect.
And if you come across an unknown friendly village, bonanza area, etc., and then bring the news to the seller who needs it, it is like winning the lottery.
"Why is the news going everywhere?"
Rorschach was surprised, but in this aspect, what was the point of the important information he had worked so hard to collect if it was leaked to the point that everyone knew.
[It's not leaked, the exploration team was attacked, and only two survivors came back alive, and now that area, relying on Corner City alone, really can't eat.] 】
It turned out that the explorers had awakened the dangerous creatures around Bonanza, and as a result, the team, including the guards, was almost wiped out, and only the veteran explorer Vivier and his nephew, who were the leaders of the group, managed to escape.
On the way to escape, the wounded Vivier attracted other predators, cut off his nephew and never returned.
His nephew finally fought with the previously scattered wounded squad, and he also spread the news on the spot in a panic, and then the returning wounded squad had no leader's restraint, and the cunning veterans searched for their own buyers........ and then it went from an important intelligence wealth to a well-known secret.
The people of Kakuro got the news and also sent a reconnaissance team, and the floating boat fleet went down with two squadrons (sixty) of magic armor, and only a dozen magic armors returned.
Rumors of the Bonanza were confirmed, but the watchmen there were also labeled as high hazards.
Originally, this was not much of a hassle, as long as it was necessary to gather intelligence, and then send more legions and strong men to crush it, and it has become a standard procedure in the process of exploring the wasteland.
However, it is the border of the wasteland and no man's land, which means that it is closer to the Holy Mountain and the tribes of the wasteland than to the corner city, which is thousands of miles away.
At this delicate moment, especially when the disputed mining area is about to be decided by means of a simulated war, such a forcible crushing of the past is a bit too dismissive of other competitors.
And even if this mining area is really developed, if it is far away from the sphere of influence of Kakuro and close to the territory of the Holy Mountain, it is basically impossible to mine peacefully without the approval of the Holy Mountain.
"What attacked the Explorer Squad?"
[In addition to the local special thunder element creatures, there are also stone statues, golems and other constructs, but I heard that they don't seem to be artificially made.] 】
The current situation is not very clear, and even the production, stock, and types of mining areas are not clear, and large-scale investment is unlikely.
And the way Kabezo finally dealt with it affected every force in this wasteland.
"Is it really cunning to use actual combat as the opening battle of simulated warfare? It can also save the cost of cleaning up threatening creatures. ”
The type and type of simulated warfare is related to the share of resource allocation for a long time to come, and the various forces are still bargaining, and everyone wants to adopt a way that they are better at and easier to win.
Before the game church applied to be a referee, in fact, he also knew that it was unlikely to succeed, after all, the referee power is also related to the final result, how could the major forces give up casually.
The high-level leaders sent by various parties formed a joint preparatory group, but they were never able to finalize the main battlefield and combat mode of the simulated war, not because they were unable to convince the public, but because there were too many ideas from all sides.
Now the joint preparatory team, which is probably arguing, has finally reached an agreement, and it is very simple to use this practical opportunity to do the first exam question.
[Two weeks later, the three forces sent 100 people each to form a hunting group of 300 people, and then carried out a purging to determine the results of this first event according to the results of the hunt. 】
Since it was already a definite matter, Rorschach didn't plan to say anything more, only to prepare for the war with all his might.
"How many places do we have?"
[It's not decided, but in the end, it will most likely be determined according to the shares of New Tonia City, and it will be difficult to break through double digits.] 】
Rorschach nodded silently, speaking of which the number of people is small, but considering the current situation in New Tonia City, the shares of the game church with a small population and a small number of strong people are relatively high, and if you just look at the elite, the game church can be regarded as an upper-middle force.
"You want me to go?"
[Suna leads the team, she is a good hunter, the others are finalized by you, and I will notify you once the specific quota is confirmed. 】
"....... can, but the more detailed the information I need, the better. ”
Before the mission, it was already customary to gather intelligence.
This is the first battle of the simulated war, and mutual temptation is inevitable, but it should not be too intense, and for small and medium-sized churches, before the big forces are fully engaged, they also have the best chance to come out and show results.
All forces have sent spies to the scene to check the current situation, and Rorschach's information is still second-hand, and soon, several keywords fell into Rorschach's hands.
"Powerful elemental creatures, underground caverns, golem constructs, ........"
Putting down the briefing, Rorschach looked ahead, where the production line was still slowly moving, and the gallopers were gradually perfecting their builds.
"Guys, I'm afraid we're going to have to work overtime, we need to make some adjustments, or to put it bluntly, a kind of exclusive magic armor for special terrain. The task is very tight, there is very little time, fortunately, that kind of magic armor, I already have experience. ”
