"'Hungry Birds' Operation Mission Report!"

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the headquarters of the Shadow Valley, the Qing Dynasty veterans who were still covered in gunpowder came to Lao Qin, the old man's spirit was a little tired, this was normal, he had not rested for a day and a night.

Even with the sleep access program of the gaming helmet, sleep alone is still not enough to relieve the stress and fatigue at the mental level.

Lao Qin sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his beloved chainsaw sword at his feet.

The battle in the Shadow Valley last night was short and fierce, but after the unexpected defeat of the Hunter Gods, the Jackals actually withdrew from the preset battlefield without too much entanglement, and the defenders of the Shadow Valley did not continue to pursue, and after winning the first contact battle, they left some men to defend on the perimeter, and the rest retreated back into the valley.

Lao Qin just collected two heads at the end of the battle, in his words, this is called moving his hands and feet to avoid Alzheimer's.

"Say it."

He took a sip of tea and rubbed his forehead to look at his lieutenant.

The Qing Dynasty veteran opened the adventurous assistant on his arm, called up the statistical summary data, and said:

"The target food convoy was destroyed, the three surrounding gnolls strongholds were razed, the minefield was reset before we left, and last night there were four ambushes using the tunnels, all of them were successful!

However, in the case of seizing the advantageous terrain, the player's loss is still more than one-sixth, which proves that the quality of the Gnoll's elite this time is stronger than that of the Black Flame Pass, and the analysis is mainly due to the addition of the Bloodscar Clan, which caused the number of hunting priests on the other side to quickly swell to the point where it is enough to affect local battles.

Gnolls with or without the blessing of Bloodlust are completely different concepts, and the Hunting Priests not only add status, they also heal, which further reduces the effective damage we can do.

In one of the four battles last night, the gnolls took the initiative to evacuate, and I did not order a pursuit to avoid losses, but it can also be seen that the gnolls' military literacy is improving.

At the moment, an operation of this magnitude is completely within the player's acceptable range, but there have been cases of poor command along the way.

I don't think anything larger than this will be done for the time being.

The military literacy of the players needs to be cultivated little by little, and many times they know what to do but they will only do it. ”

"Well, that's a pretty good result."

Lao Qin looked at his other adjutant, "Five Pairs of Wheels", waiting for the other party's report, who glanced at the data summary on the expert adventure assistant and said:

"Last night's attack on the Gnoll camp at the source of the Huma River from the other direction was also successful, and Happy Stick's side was doing a little better than this one, presumably because his guild often practiced similar group actions.

But the attack on the Gnoll's camp failed, and to be precise, the command canceled the operation on a trade-off.

Through the Shadow Intelligence Bureau's information gathering, we have confirmed that the protection there is tighter than we thought, and the psionic monitoring maintained by the gnolls priests does not guarantee the success rate of the assault even if it is a tunnel operation.

The cancellation of the mission upset the team of players who were responsible for it, and they called us cowards in the forums for thinking that they would be able to complete the mission

But it can't be done!

Players are not afraid of death, but three days of offline time is also a loss that must be considered. ”

"Let's not mention this for now, let's summarize! Last night's operation was a great success, and the gnolls' lines of communication were temporarily cut off, enough for them to realize that our battle mode had changed. ”

Lao Qin nodded, noncommittal about the results of last night's operation, he said:

"The tunnels will soon be discovered, so it's important to get our warriors used to this interspersed combat as quickly as possible before they are swept away by the gnolls, and most importantly, involve the NPCs as well!

We can't just let the player engage in a blocking battle, with the scale of the jackal, the player can't even make a splash if he smashes such a few people, and if we want to achieve the goal of disrupting the opponent's combat system, we must rely on the tunnel to launch a larger-scale, multi-point flowering frequent attack in the near future.

Only when the number is so frequent that they mess up can we fish in troubled waters.

I suggest that starting today, NPCs and players will be able to coordinate the action, and all the tactics discussed before can be put into practice.

There is also a linkage with Fort Courage, connecting the Valley of Shadows, Barren Mountain, and Black Flame Pass with Fort Courage. ”

"You're in too much of a hurry."

Qing Dynasty veterans complained:

"I can't imagine what kind of consequences you can teach NPCs if you ask them to teach them, so it's better to be safe."

"Safe? Where's the safe time? ”

Five pairs of wheels retorted:

"We're not acting here to win, we're trying to stall for time! For this purpose, a prudent passive campaign will only further erode our advantage. The gap in numbers between the two sides is too large, and there is no generation gap in weapons, so if you want to fight less and more in exchange for the initiative in the war, you can only risk a surprise attack.

The opponent's leader was wounded by our leader, which in itself is an excellent opportunity.

I collected data from yesterday's battle, and the casualty ratio between the two sides shows that the gnolls are not real barbarians, and they have their own way of fighting.

We're just going to be dragged to death at their pace, we have to get them moving to our pace!

Actions such as the 'Hungry Birds' should be done more often, at least once every three days, to introduce a part of their military power into the pit and eliminate them, so that they can run like hunting dogs chasing rabbits, and maximize their numerical advantage.

Even so, once the gnolls have figured out their way and begun to force their march in the direction of the filthy swamp, there is no good way to stop them. ”

"I admit you're right, I'm just a front-line commander, I'm in charge of tactics, and you decide the strategy."

The Qing Dynasty veteran raised his hands to show that he was not interested in arguing with the five pairs of wheels on such an issue, but he actually had his own ideas in his heart.

He knew the origin of the five pairs of wheels.

This guy is doing too much theoretical work, listen to what he does, and cancel the task because the risk is too great?

Hey, no wonder I'm scolded by the players, isn't this just slapping that team in the face?

This guy may know how to fight, but he doesn't understand players.

And, as he said, the gnolls are not stupid, and wanting to make the other side do it in their own way of warfare is a problem that has plagued military theorists in another world for hundreds or even millennia.

"Keep hitting their lines of communication!"

After drinking the tea, Lao Qin decided to go according to the predetermined plan, and he said to the two adjutants:

"There are so many gnolls, and the barren mountains don't have so many resources to supply them on the spot, cut off the food routes, block the water sources, and force them to put more forces into the lines of communication, and once they spill the people, our goal will be achieved.

At present, Lord Murphy's 'attraction' to the gnolls is still very strong, as long as he shows up from time to time, the gnolls will most likely not leave here in the short term.

The only question is, will the Winter Wolf Legion strikers in Bafonte Canyon be able to cut off the gnolls' path to the filthy swamp?

I don't want to underestimate them, but I guess they're really hard to do with the manpower and that terrible terrain.

So, be a little more conservative strategically, be a little more aggressive tactically, and let the brothers move! Now we are holding on to the first day, and we are still nineteen days away from the twenty days of our base goal.

At least 30 days!

That's the bottom line!

No matter what you do, you have to hold on! ”

Lao Qin's confidence is very strong, but the problem is that the impact of this action plan in the eyes of players is completely different

"What? Want to send NPCs over and join us? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Brother Wu Meow, who was still waiting for the new order at the rest place of point A of the tunnel, received a communication from a Qing Dynasty veteran, and he immediately stood up while he was eating dried meat, and said:

"Don't make a fuss, brother, NPCs will be tired, scared and impulsive, they are all living people, they will cry out in pain when they are hit, they will be weak when they bleed, and they will collapse when they are hit, they are different from us cold-blooded maniacs who blow themselves up if they don't agree with each other.

To put it mildly, we are really in a desperate situation, and we have to wait for three days, and now let them come, and we have to consider their evacuation when we act.

Command dizzy?

Doesn't this give us nothing to do? ”

"It's not just you who have been assigned a minion army, all players who are assigned to the battle sequence have an NPC servant army, so don't complain."

A Qing veteran explained:

"These NPCs are all carefully selected elites, and they will not drag you down in normal operations, they have already had the psychological construction to die in battle when they are selected to join the resistance war, but this is part of Translasia's military training, so you better not really use them as cannon fodder.

The team of thirty people assigned to you has set out and will join you in about four hours.

Listen, your next task is a bit difficult.

Once you've met, take enough supplies and follow Tunnel 2 along Point A into the complex underground structure of the Blackflame Pass, where the defenders of Fort Courage will send some scouts to meet you.

There is no specific goal for the next task, but there is a KPI that has been pressed down, Qin Ye requires us to cut off the grain route of the gnolls in the barren mountains to the greatest extent, so you will hunt there and attack all the gnoll food transport teams.

You choose the goal, and do it yourself.

Advance greetings are required from air support, and there are also bombardiers from the Vulture Clan on the side of Fort Courage, but it's best to plan before the battle.

In addition to you, there are five other squads in that area, all of which are under my command system, so remember to report to me when you want to carry out a difficult blockade, and I will coordinate and communicate. ”

"Damn! There are KPIs in this battle, which really makes players like me not free. ”

Brother Meow complained:

"What about the loot? The headquarters can't just let people work without giving them food, right? ”

"The results of last night's attack are being counted, what are you anxious about? The spoils of this operation will be discounted to you, and all material consumption in the operation will be paid for by the command. ”

A Qing veteran explained:

"The logistics system has to be built slowly, right? You can't have to pay for every battle. In a free movement like the one that follows, all the seizures are yours, and you can sell them yourself or cash them in at the logistics office. ”

"Hey, that's good, finally the command has done a job."

Brother Meow was finally satisfied.

He received the map of the defense area he was responsible for from the veteran, and then took his brothers to scavenge the material warehouse at point A, and even took twenty boxes of the burning sniper bullets used by Lao Qu, and packed everyone's psionic energy to the full.

Four hours later, the team of thirty people who had been moving down the pit finally reached Point A.

Led by a witch hunter veteran who was recruited by the People's Army, he simply gave a military salute to Brother Woo Meow, and Brother Woo Meow also returned a military salute.

Since both of them were followers of Boss Avalon, it was natural to talk, and the veteran reported to Brother Meow:

"We brought fifteen assault men, five sappers and two medics, and the last three were chasseurs, and it just so happened that you and your squad members could form different battle groups, we had left a suicide note before we left, and we also knew that your way of fighting was too wild, but don't be under psychological pressure, Brother Meow.

We're not going to hold you back. ”

"I hope so."

Brother Meow sighed, glanced at the combination of two men and one woman of the hunters, and he could see at a glance that this was a recruit Although he may have been rigorously trained, the youthfulness of the recruit could not be concealed.

"Lao Qu, Yansang, the three of them belong to the two of you."

Meow said to the chasseur duo in her guild:

"Let's set off in a moment, you take them along the pit first and reconnoiter by the way, the veteran told me that the pit will soon be exposed, so you have to be careful of kobolds who don't know where they come from."

"Rest assured, we are professional."

Yan Sang smiled, glanced at the huntress with the gun on his back, and whispered:

"What do you call the young lady?"

"Huh"

Some nervous female soldiers reflexively straightened their bodies under the questioning of "the war heroes of Transancia", and she said loudly:

"Cadman People's Army Hunter Corporal Mia Falgosen salutes you! Second Lieutenant Yansang, your feat in the Blood Banner Heights has become a legend that inspires us to continue fighting. ”

"Tsk, I can really talk, I like it."

Yan Sang was even more satisfied.

He crossed his waist and said to the three hunters in front of him:

"I will be your big brother in the future, I will cover you, you can ask me if you don't understand anything, but pay attention to everything and listen to the command and don't fool around, our brother Qu is a very ruthless sniper master, I really annoy him to have your good fruit to eat."

Also, be refreshed at all times! Be energetic enough to win every battle! ”

"As long as you talk a lot, let's go."

Brother Qu, who was a master of the sweet root grass suit in his mouth, pursed his lips, put his anti-tank gun behind his back, and just after taking a few steps, he rolled his eyes, handed his gun to the tallest chasseur corporal, and said:

"You carry it for me, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the construction and use of this special firearm, since you are a hunter, you must have the heart of a sniper. We disdain to slaughter weak enemies, only those who are truly strong deserve our greetings with bullets!

Without further ado, I'll teach you the rest of the action. ”

——

"Our grain trucks were raided last night, more than once, and the two grain convoys that were scheduled to pass through the Black Flame Pass last night were all wiped out. All the grain was burned with a fire, and the elite sent there to defend the lines of communication also died in the attack of the Transansians.

The bastards also ambushed our squad to occupy the water, and the soldiers who escaped reported that the Transans were haunted like ghosts. ”

In the besieged camp of the Gnoll on the outskirts of the Valley of the Shadows, Priest Manson said to Hurgeson, who was bathing in blood and recovering rapidly:

"It is clear that the Translancians have used a method that we had not expected to intersperse the battle line, they appeared both behind and in front of us, and the kobolds who were sent out said that there was a complex structure of tunnels underground.

Your previous prediction was accurate, Shügson.

The Transansians did not intend to fight us in positional warfare, they took a more effective and cunning approach, they were fighting in the way of the kobolds, but they were far more fierce and powerful than the kobolds. ”

"Expected."

Shügesen buried most of his body in the blood of the large bathtub, the divine power of the Lord of the Hunt removing the power that belonged to the Quetzalcoatl sun god Kulkan, allowing its charred hair and wounds to heal slowly with every breath.

It endured the pain and said in a dumb voice:

"They want to cut off our supplies, and they know very well that we can't find more supplies in this barren area of the Barren Mountains, we can't open up food routes, and we will become weak and confused by consuming time alone.

Send kobolds underground!

Destroy their tunnels and fight them underground, so that our soldiers beyond the barren mountains can also be mobilized to defend the grain convoy and reorganize the lines of communication as soon as possible. ”

"Are you going to continue to carry out the siege plan here?"

Manson frowned and said:

"You know it doesn't make sense anymore, Murphy obviously has a strange way of dispersing divine powers, and you can't kill him right now."

"I can at least trap him! The Trancian leader being trapped in the Valley of the Shadows would put a strain on their defenses, and it would only be more troublesome if Murphy, as the leader of the faction, was allowed to move freely throughout the battlefield to boost the morale of the enemy. ”

Shügsen, who had soaked most of his body in blood, pondered, and then said in an accentuated tone:

"Isn't that what I brought them to do when they sent the Hunting Electors into the pits to hunt the undead?

The Translancians are very good prey and opponents!

If they want to make a devotional offering to the Lord of the Hunt, this is the perfect time!

They have targets and enemies here, and all they need to do is keep fighting until death comes.

Lord Manson, the Haas Overseers have led a breakthrough in the direction of the Filthy Swamp, and as long as it breaks through the Nord defenses in Bafant's Gorge, the Tellancian trickery will be defeated.

You don't have to stay here to spend time with me, go to the battlefield and exert your due destructive power.

The Lord of the Hunt hissed in my head, he longed to see more slaughter and blood, we are all in the service of this noble purpose, and I am not in a position to ask you to stop your devotion to the gods for my reasons. ”

"What a noble consciousness."

Manson exclaimed:

"Then I won't hide it from you, Xu Gesen, I have a way to destroy the Valley of Shadows. Actually, I'm already working in the shadows, and we don't even need to make many changes, just repeat what the Translancians did in the Black Flame Pass! ”
