The convoys formed by the new players are still very efficient, and due to the high priority of the construction of the Maginot Line, after entering the Dark Barony, the convoy enters the "Concrete Avenue" built by the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, which makes their progress faster in vain.

The journey that would have taken two to three days was reduced to a day and a half, and we arrived at our destination in a hurry.

Just five kilometers behind the Maginot Line, an oversized temporary warehouse had been built, built the "old way" due to time constraints, with wooden planks in shape and a boxy storage space made of fossils and clay.

Luckily, it's not far from the mines of the Dark Barony, and there's enough stone available, otherwise there's really no way to fix it anytime soon.

"Brothers, it's hard work, let's go to the camp to rest after unloading."

Haw Par Rider Lin, who came to receive supplies on behalf of Happy Stick, shouted loudly at the new players who jumped off the convoy on his Shadowmane Warhorse.

He didn't know any of these new partners, but it didn't prevent everyone from feeling like a "villager" after meeting.

Compared to the local Transansians, these brothers are closer to their own brothers.

Of course, the Crimson Hammer Scythe is still very good at being human.

I contacted the pink cat and rabbit who were in charge of the delivery logistics in advance, and I knew that the brothers who delivered the materials were all pure newcomers, so he also set up a special place to "give rewards" next to the warehouse.

An NPC quartermaster stood there, handing a small purse to each new player who walked by, and gesturing to the weapon rack and gun case next to it.

It means that you can pick a handful, and it should be the "family silver benefit" that the hammer and sickle group gives to new players.

This style of doing things made new players call "Brother Bang's righteousness", and the small complaints that originally needed to be unloaded suddenly flew out of the clouds.

It's just that they don't know that as a military organization with a formal establishment, the Hammer and Sickle Regiment can get a batch of free material support from the warehouse under the administration office every half month.

Since it's free, don't expect the quality to be good, i.e., how good the whiteboard weapon is.

The old knife handlers under Brother Bang naturally don't look down on these, and they just use it to brush up a wave of goodwill on the new players' side, so that the "recruitment work" will be smoother in the future.

However, since both sides are satisfied, naturally no one has to come to investigate the source of these weapons.

While the new player and NPC were carrying supplies, he jumped off his horse and walked over to a dropped weapon box, picked up the crowbar next to it, and opened the box, revealing the three black barrels stored in it.

The guy immediately showed a nostalgic expression, and he skillfully copied one of them, and assembled it in a few clicks without looking at the abbreviated version of the manual next to it.

The mortar in his memory appeared in front of him, but it made Lin very unhappy, because Brother Loyal ignored several important devices on this thing in order to increase production.

"Fucking even the ruler is omitted like this! How the fuck is this aim! Do you have to shoot a few shots before each shot to calibrate the landing point? I'm still counting on accurate cold cannons, one shot into the soul. ”

Lin scolded fiercely on the spot.

But he also knew that Brother Zhong's "cutting corners" was really helpless, and the current production pressure in the arsenal was very high, and in order to ensure the supply of firepower on the front line, Brother Zhong had to omit these parts that needed to be finely processed.

First realize "usable", and then consider "easy to use".

And as for the monkey version of the small cannon in front of him, if he wants to fully meet Brother Bang's firepower requirements for the Maginot Line, it is estimated that the arsenal will have to work overtime for a month or two.

"Forget it, it's not easy for everyone, so I won't complain about you this time."

Lin sighed, picked up the tube, disassembled it, put it into a special bag, and placed it in the oversized pocket of the Shadowmane Warhorse.

The size of this unscientific war horse is so huge that they are destined to have a strong carrying capacity, and a small cannon can be placed on the left, and a few cannonballs can be placed on the right.

Speaking of shells

"Is this 'white phosphorus bomb' serious?"

He looked at the ten shells in the second box.

Although the appearance is the most classic mortar shell, the "extremely dangerous" and a conspicuous skull mark marked with a red symbol on it represent that Brother Zhongzhong's confidence in the products he has made does not seem to be very strong.

"How come I haven't heard of shells with such a sequence? Is this something they 'developed in-house'? , this is a real punishment. ”

Lin complained fiercely, picked up the instruction card next to him and glanced at it, and found that the number one explosive master under Brother Loyalty, "Dire Bat Golem", also gave this thing a new name in an ingenious way:

"Undead burners?"

Pro blinked and complained:

"Would you like to use your name idea more for security? I don't even dare to put this thing on my warhorse, what if it explodes while charging? ”

He flipped the card over again, and there was a line behind it:

"It is strictly forbidden to use weapons in battles against civilized camps, and violators will be questioned and punished by the military tribunal being formed."

"Woo!"

The veteran snorted, tossed the card aside, and placed the ten shells in front of him in his psionic bag before turning to leave.

The unloading of ten fully loaded wagons lasted for three hours, and these things could only be carried with the most primitive manpower, and when the new players were excited to go to the swamp after moving their things and receiving their rewards, Pro found them again.

"Don't run around when you go to the swamp!

Follow the path we have carved out into the forward camp of the northern line, where you will pick the specific front you want to go to.

Don't go too deep into the swamp, your level and skill proficiency are too low, just wander around the periphery and fight the lone skeletons and swamp beasts roaming around. ”

He earnestly admonished the group of people in front of him:

"Considering that you are about to go to the three fronts to replenish the manpower, we have an additional task for you, and we need you to bring some supplies to replenish the three fronts and familiarize them with the use of new weapons in advance.

You don't have to carry too much, and you don't need your brothers to carry it on their shoulders, we'll provide a dedicated March Psionic Pack, so you only need to make one run.

Of course, this is not a mandatory task.

If you are willing to help, we will provide you with an additional set of recruit armor as a reward for the mission. ”

"Then do it."

Someone in the crowd shouted:

"Anyway, it's all about going to the swamp, and it's a matter of stopping by the way, but can we let us pick the new recruit's armor ourselves? I'm going to turn mage, you can't give me a set of plate armor, can you? ”

The crowd immediately laughed, making Lin also laugh, and popularized science for these budding newcomers:

"In this real game world, mages can also wear plate armor, there is no real armor division, you can dress yourself up as a warrior. And also want plate armor?

I see you're a pipe dream.

There's no way to guarantee a commander a set of plate armor on the front lines right now, it's expensive, and to be honest, it's not as good as the lighter chain mail in close combat.

If you want to pick it, you can pick it, and it's all piled up in the warehouse anyway.

But my advice to you is to choose hard leather armor, the armor of this game is paper, and if you really encounter a powerful monster, even if you wear plate armor, you will be taken away by two knives.

After all, psionic energy is inherently penetrating, and normal armor is not effective in front of it, so it is better to be dexterous so that you can maintain your speed when it is time to run. ”

After some advice here, Lin found the rainbow cat hero who was going to go home, and he said to this guy:

"The village chief of Maomao Rabbit just sent a message to Brother Bang, he plans to extend the logistics route to the stationing side of the Plantagenet Pioneers in the Cato region and monopolize the transportation of materials there by the way, of course, the specific implementation will have to wait until this battle is over.

What your boss means is that he wants you to make a trip yourself and bring him first-hand information. ”

"! Senior, is this really not a person? I'm a level 4 rookie and actually let me run to the swamp to explore the way? ”

The rainbow cat scolded:

"What if I'm in danger in it, this unconscionable dog?"

"Don't be afraid, it's absolutely fine for you to follow the road on the map, the student party has cleaned up the area, and there will be no sudden undead to stab you in the ass.

You just follow this team of newcomers, and you can take care of them on the way. ”

Pro comforted:

"Although the road in the swamp is difficult to walk, there is no need to be so afraid if you just go to the safe rear, the dangerous areas are all on the front line. And tomorrow, when your boss personally escorts the 'big killer' over, it's up to us to deal with those bastard undead." ”

"Alas, this is the fate of workers."

The rainbow cat sighed helplessly.

He stamped his foot and said:

"Lao Tzu is an internship now, and when I am familiar with this process, I must go out and work alone, and I will develop my own village."

"Yes, that's what you want!"

Seeing that he had successfully fooled a guy, he immediately took off a psionic bag with a smile and stuffed it into the rainbow cat's hand, saying:

"This is a new gun handed over to the student party, since you are on the way, you should also send it with you.

Now, this bayonet is my support for you, and it can be directly inserted on the bayonet base, this is a limited purchase thing, and you can't buy it even if you have money at this stage. ”

"Hehe, you have a little conscience."

The rainbow cat unceremoniously took it and put the cool three-edged bayonet on his waist, and carefully studied the map here, and after ten minutes, he and two teams of ten people set foot on the road to the western front of the swamp.

The first half of this road is very safe as Lin said, walking in the muddy field of the swamp so quiet that there is not even a bird chirping around, in the newcomers to the environment in the fierce complaining they successfully completed half of the way, and then, there was no accident accident.

"Damn! Brothers, look! What the hell is that up there? ”

The eyes of the three catties of sweet potatoes were very good, and after crossing a swampy bush, he saw at a glance a huge shadow that was advancing hundreds of meters ahead.

The ghosts that were silently advancing in the swamp seemed to be shrouded in mist, and people couldn't see the buildings clearly with their naked eyeshadows, but they could vaguely see that they were crowded and stretched hundreds of meters in front and back.

Sweet potato ware was about to climb the tree to take a closer look, but a hand from behind grabbed him by the collar and pressed him into the bushes.

The college student almost fell and ate, and suddenly glared at the rear, only to see that Lao Qin, who was still talking about indecent meat jokes just now, would lie there with a serious face, and pressed two guys who were not vigilant in one hand with his left and right hands to tell them not to show their heads.

"It's the enemy!"

Lao Qin whispered:

"Standard marching columns! The direction of advance is exactly behind the western direction indicated on the previous map, and if they do not turn, they will be directly between posts 3 and 4 of the western front after a maximum of thirty minutes.

This is exactly the point where the enemy's outermost defensive line has been breached, and once the encirclement is completed and the enemy on both flanks responds, an encirclement battle can be launched against the three salient posts in an instant.

I found out when I looked at the map just now!

These student parties are too tender, they have stretched the front too long, and they simply do not have enough manpower to complete the cleaning and protection of the communication line below.

It's like a snake in the mountains, and if you are stopped by someone, you will get into big trouble.

This must be a surprise attack by the gnolls warlocks of Plague Town, can this level of tactics be used? The NPCs of this ghost game are really smart enough.

The strange lights and shadows that loom over them are probably 'psionic energy'? How can you suppress the movement of these thousands of people on the march so low?

That's amazing, isn't it? ”

"Is this the time to lament this?"

The rainbow cat is also a little anxious.

He leaned on the ground and probed his brain, his body trembled a little, although he entered the game half a month earlier than the newcomers, but he was a serious administrative player, and he didn't have any combat experience at all.

It was his first real encounter with a strong enemy.

The other four young student party and newcomers also had no idea, they looked at Lao Qin, the only one with combat experience present, but the latter didn't say anything, just gestured for them to hide here, and he himself climbed the dwarf tree next to him in three or two steps like a nimble gecko to reconnoiter the enemy.

The newcomers were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Compared to the elite skeleton army in front of them who carried out assault tactics, they were not even a supper, as long as they were found that the opponent was coming over with a round of bone arrows and spears, they would die in an instant.

A few minutes later, Lao Qin returned and untied the psionic bag on his waist without saying a word, and he said to the others:

"Can't let them enter the preset battlefield so smoothly!

I guess the student party didn't react at all that they had been copied back, and it seems that the recent fighting has gone well and they have let their guard down.

Contact them immediately to inform them of the situation, and we're going to take action to slow down these guys' actions.

I just noticed that there is a terrain next to us that is very suitable for defending, and we happen to have enough canisters on hand, as long as we work together properly, it is not a problem to delay them for half an hour. ”

"! There are thirteen of us! Old Qin, are you crazy? ”

The sweet potato burned and shouted loudly:

"If someone stabs us, we will become a piece of meat."

"The war is not as simple as you think, and the victory or defeat is not simply a comparison of numbers, otherwise how did the legend of three old-timers capturing a battalion come out?"

Lao Qin shook his head and said while taking out the skillful assembly of the tube from the psionic bag:

"Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back and say that even if you die, it will only be three days, what? In reality, it's human nature to be afraid of death, and there's nothing to blame, but isn't it a bit too much for you to play a game?

Why don't you cut off the two taels of flesh between your legs?

Then I won't mock you, a young man who is not as bold as a mouse. ”

"Phew, dogs are afraid! Lao Tzu sacrificed his life to accompany you today! ”

Sweet potato roast is worthy of a young man, and he immediately got on his head when he was excited.

The others are also eager to try, Lao Qin is right, his mother's death will only be three days, if you fight well, wouldn't these people be famous?

"What do you say?"

Lao Qin looked back at the rainbow cat, and the latter said with a sad face:

"I can't run even if I want to,, with you! Just say how do we get it, Uncle Qin. ”

"It's called Lao Qin, I'm not your relative, it's almost close."

Lao Qin pursed his lips, brought his own barrel and gestured to the others, motioning for them to follow.

This pile of people dripped muddy water around the terrain next to them and quickly climbed to a protruding high ground more than ten meters high, under the command of Lao Qin, the eight tubes were quickly assembled and arranged, but the guys here did not have any experience in using this thing, and could only watch Lao Qin "show off his skills".

"Dog thing! This ruler is so bad that it will go to court-martial! ”

Lao Qin scolded and simply gave up using that bad ruler.

He knelt on the ground in a military position, stretched out his left hand and raised his thumb in front of him, and then raised his thumb when he was chanting words in his mouth.

This classic shot in a military movie lasted for a minute, and then Lao Qin began to fine-tune the canister in his hand, and the others also adjusted the canister to the angle of upward firing according to his instructions.

"Don't be afraid, kids."

Lao Qin picked up a white phosphorus bomb marked "extremely dangerous" and put it on the mouth of the barrel with both hands, he looked back at the young people behind him, grinned, and said:

"Take this as a special military training, it's not easy to play this in peacetime to be honest, you guys are lucky today."

"Lao Qin, you are smiling so penetratingly!"

Sweet potato roast also half-knelt beside his barrel, learning Lao Qin's movements to hold the cannonball, he complained:

"If I go out at night and meet a guy like you smiling at the mouth of the alley, I don't need to speak, I will definitely take the initiative to hand over my wallet and mobile phone."

"Hey, then you have to meet me first."

Lao Qin snorted, shook his head and complained:

"Even if the guards don't stop me, can I, a wheelchair person, outrun you guy? Get ready! Calibrate the first shot, fire! ”
