Eichenwald, a small town near Stuttgart in this world, can be seen from the towering classical European-style castle in the middle of the town.

If it were peacetime, perhaps the town would have been developed into a tourist attraction.

Unfortunately, in the era of the intellectual crisis a few decades ago, there was a great battle in this town, and in the midst of iron and blood, the German Crusader Knights were completely annihilated in this place under the siege of several times the enemy.

However, their perseverance also bought time for the European countries behind them to mobilize troops.

Mishan brought Miller and Shepard here, partly to see the glorious battle that has been described in many strokes in the game...... After all, when Mishan COS Imperial Fist used to be used, it was the trick of the sledgehammer in this game.

On the other hand, it is to find a quiet place, and the province encounters some firefights when traveling outside.

According to the original plan, Eichenwald was the fifth stop, and it was separated by places such as Hwamura and Busan.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a shopping and eating anyway...... Well, there is nothing to eat here in the ruins of Eichenwald.

As soon as they stepped off the transport plane, Miller and Shepard, who had come with Misang, stared at each other, and in an artistic rhetorical way, they both smelled the smoke of war in the sky over Eichenwald after decades.

In fact, if you look down, you can see a pile of fortress wreckage, as well as the corpses of the Crusaders every once in a while, and after the town was abandoned, it seems that time has also stood still.

Mishan doesn't know why the war is over and no one is in this town, but the game is set up like this, so let's follow this setting...... Maybe they were scared by the fortress legions of these intelligent machines, and not many people were willing to come out, what if there was a wild fortress in the wild?

Or until now, the human population of this world has not recovered from the crisis of intellectual machines, and the existing residential cities have not been completed, who can still care about the wild.

While Mishan pondered how the real world would interpret the game's setting, Miller looked at the terrain of the town and said:

"It's a perfect defensive area, give me three SCVs, and twenty Marines can withstand at least two hives."

As he spoke, Miller also turned on his personal terminal and lit up a projection in front of Shepard to indicate how he would arrange for twenty Marines.

After taking a serious look at Miller's defensive arrangement, Shepard found that the opponent's defense was indeed flawless, but as a river-level soldier king, Shepard would definitely not admit defeat so easily:

"How can there be no heavy firepower on the real battlefield, although the terrain of this small city is good, the biggest problem is that the masonry buildings are too fragile."

"Otherwise, why do you think I need three SCVs?" As the Terran commander who is recognized as the best at defending among the three clans in the Koplu Star District, Miller is still very confident in his defensive skills.

"Oh? Do you want to compare and compare? Shepard, seeing Miller's confident look, also picked up his personal terminal and shook it.

"You're not a commander." Hearing Shepard say this, Miller had an attitude that I didn't want to bully.

At present, the game characters under the command of Mishan will be differentiated according to the role that is most suitable for playing on the battlefield.

Commanders like Miller and Mie Indica, and Mi Rin and Greenhill belong to the commando.

The former is responsible for command, and the latter is responsible for direct participation in the battle.

"I'm also a commander's ......," Shepard laughed when he heard Miller say this, and at the same time lit up his most commonly used rank in the Human Revolutionary League, in addition to the position of Legion Commander.

“…… Chief Master Chief? Since they are all human beings, and they are all from the human civilization of the earth, and even the scientific and technological level of the human civilization of the earth from which they are born is not far apart, Miller knows very well what "chief master chief" means.

A general among soldiers, a king of soldiers...... This is the rank that Mishan has been thinking about for a long time before giving Shepard, and it can be said that it is the most suitable for Shepard.

It seems that Shepard, who was still a colonel-level officer in the Mass Effect world, ran to become a non-commissioned officer on the side of the Revolutionary Union, which is a loss.

But those who know what the position of "chief non-commissioned officer" means, they all know very well that an officer at the rank of colonel is not at the same level as the "chief non-commissioned officer".

According to Miller's rank as brigadier general in the People's Revolutionary League, he should have saluted when he saw Shepard.

Although he looked down on a big-headed soldier like Shepard in his heart, Miller's body still took the initiative to salute first.

Shepard, who put away his rank and saluted back, said: "Try it, no, you defend first, I will attack first, and then I will change." ”

Anyway, this place doesn't have much to teach Miller how to date.

"Good" faced with Shepard's challenge, Miller, who was born as a commander, certainly would not refuse.

So the two of them linked their personal terminals together, and they lined up on the virtual projection in front of them like the game king.

Mishan, who came back from a circle, saw that Shepard and Miller had actually played an offensive and defensive simulation battle, and he was a little speechless.

But when I think of this picture in the game, it is an offensive and defensive battle...... Well, there's nothing wrong with these two having fun.

Mishan, who watched strongly for a while, noticed that the simulated battle between Shepard and Miller was a pure town offensive and defensive battle, at most, it was to set up three areas that ABC needed to occupy or make a symbolic flag...... Wait, how is it your own avatar on the flag, is this yourself a target to compete for?

Seeing the virtual battlefield where he was snatched away, Mi Shan waved his hand and paused the engagement and said, "Wait, change the way you play......"

“？？” Miller and Shepard both looked at Misr suspiciously.

In the dozen rounds of back and forth between the two, Miller had a slight advantage in terms of record, but Shepard was not far behind.

It is estimated that there will not be much change if they continue to fight like this, and the two who have tested each other are already planning to call it a day.

"That's ......" Mishan, who didn't know that the two game characters, Miller and Shepard, had a sympathy for each other because of a game, said, "Put the items you need to fight for inside the castle, but there are two gates between the entrance and the castle, and the attacker needs to protect a siege vehicle to break through this gate......"

Misan Balabala explained how the map of Eichenwald was played in the game.

Although Mishan's words were a little inverted from time to time when he was talking, Shepard and Miller both understood what Mishan was saying.

“…… I'm confused by myself. Mi Shan, who didn't expect these two people to understand at one time, complained.

"It's an interesting challenge." Shepard said.

"According to the terrain here, this kind of combat ......," Miller said after a moment's thought, "it is more suitable for the kind of squad combat that can show the strength of individual soldiers." ”

After all, he was still a commander, and Miller was the first to notice the gameplay.

"That's right, it's a 6v6 battle, and it's okay to play 12v12." Mishan said.

"It's not what I'm good at, but I can give it a try." Miller said.

"That's what I'm good at." Shepard didn't say anything.

Sure enough, just like the attitude of these two people, if the game standards set by Mishan are strictly followed, Shepard has an absolute advantage, winning nine and a half rounds out of ten, and the only one that loses can be seen as long as Shepard is releasing water as long as he is not blind.

“…… I'd love to drop a nuclear bomb here. This is the best hope for Miller, who has been beaten up a lot.

"Do you have a specialization in the art industry...... Mishan comforted, after all, seriously, Shepard himself was used in this type of battle.

In battles within 10v10, Shepard will definitely finish beating Miller, and then as the number of engagements increases, Miller's winning rate is getting higher and higher.

However, the battlefield centered on Eichenwald could not allow Miller to finish suppressing Shepard, and the field was too small for the legion to be unleashed.

So as they fought, the two began to expand the battlefield a little, no longer holding on to one place in Eichenwald, but a large area centered on this abandoned small city.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the place of battle that was demarcated by Miller and Shepard happened to be the area where the First World War broke out in Eichenwald......
