Chapter 709: 708. Old Qin’s Way of Shaking People
Because the fall of the Black Flame Pass was too sudden, and the scale of the battle was so large that most of the players had entered the process of “waiting for resurrection”, so the Shadow Valley was a lot quieter than it used to be under the hustle and bustle.
Those veteran players who survived the battle received a mission from Maxim to fly to Fort Courage to carry out defense and guard, and the newcomers also received a mission to escort a large number of soldiers from the Black Flame Pass back to the Maginot Line.
Captain Paula’s three airships were flying almost one trip at a time, and were not idle at all.
According to Murphy’s order, they must send these tired soldiers to the rear to recuperate in the shortest possible time, in order to quickly restore their morale, in order to do this, Murphy even gave the “capitalist” Old Huo and Cat and Rabbit a task, requiring the entertainment facilities in Treasure Bay to be ready to receive the soldiers.
It so happens that before the very hot Hidden Treasure Bay Casino because of the wartime system, the flow of customers has been reduced a lot, this wave is also considered to engage in a “promotional activities”.
This wave is a kind of crooked right, after all, you can’t expect the head on the waistband of the pants of the soldiers to have any elegant hobbies. For example, the soldiers of the Golden Bird Blossom Pioneer Battalion’s favorite place to go on leave is Treasure Bay, if the cunning Xilan people like it, then the blood alliance soldiers will also like it.
And it was also an effective way to boost Transylvania’s economy during wartime.
Old Huo even gave the Scarlet Consul a scaled-down version of the “military support services” plan, which was based on the development model of certain special areas in the real world, and was considered to be a radical approach, but Miriam was a little numb to this wild economic development plan, mainly because this plan involved some very vulgar things, and it might have a negative impact on some players with a strong sense of justice. certain concepts of certain players with an overwhelming sense of justice.
But after thinking about it, she decided to conduct a pilot program in Hidden Treasure Bay.
After all, with Transiana’s terrible economic situation of either being in bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy, finding new profit growth points was already imminent, and if this schedule proved to be really useful, Miriam, who had now gone completely pragmatic, didn’t mind giving a push on the path of Hidden Treasure Bay’s development.
Murphy didn’t interfere with these things, leaving it all to the Scarlet Consul and the administrative players to let go of their hands and do their work, now dealing with the threat of war was still his top priority.
It wasn’t just Murphy, Old Qin and Happy Stick, who had given military orders to the commanders a few hours ago, had also made a special trip back to Wolf Castle before going offline, where they found a few of the heads of the Stonemason Brotherhood.
“Yo, Old Qin, why are you still injured?”
Master Qin walked into one of the rooms of Wolf Castle, just in time to see Old Chen head sitting on a chair with his arm hanging with a long look on his face, the old military head felt surprised and went forward to inquire:
“Aren’t you a non-combatant?”
“Don’t mention it, before that dead space on the undead warrior blocking battle me and a few boys also participated in the battle, but after all, old well, hands are not as good as before, by the other side cut a sword, but I quickly use the gun to return the color!”
Old Chen Tou said with a sigh:
“This game plot advances to the present, we these administrative players really have no way to go into battle, that battle intensity is too high ah.
I’m doing well, the gray people are all offline.
Not I say, these young people how one by one virtual into this.”
“How can they compare to you?”
The bricklayer who served Old Chen Tou next to him spat out:
“Besides, didn’t the Grey Beater accidentally get killed by the undead in order to protect your retreat?”
“Ahem.”
Professor Chen, who couldn’t keep his face up, glared fiercely at his rebellious disciple, causing the bricklayer to hem and haw and leave the room, going to the door to chat and brag with Brother Stick.
He obviously guessed that Old Qin and Old Chen must have something to say.
“Tell me, what are you busy people doing running to my place?”
Professor Chen, who still had several stacks of unfinished design drawings in his hands, said to Old Qin, who was sitting across from him, with his arms hanging out:
“I guess it’s related to the next war plan?”
“Yes, I want you to produce a design.”
Old Qin, true to his professional demeanor, didn’t waste time with pleasantries and said straight to the point:
“The main specification requirement is a set of defense line plans that can be used for pitched battles, with Spectral Shadow Valley as the starting point, Filthy Swamp as the end point, and this narrow area of almost one hundred and fifty kilometers as the main body during that time, and a set of transportation networks set up in accordance with those complex structures below the Black Flame Mountain Pass position as a reference.
It should be enough to accommodate all the players and some NPCs who are good at stealthy actions to travel through and fight in it.
As you know, the terrain of the Shadow Valley is not suitable for positional battles, and it was only after meditating that I came up with this crooked idea, in order to buy enough time for the subsequent battles, we have to adopt some extraordinary battle plans.”
“A tunnel battle!”
Old Chen Tou frowned as he said:
“I won’t mention the specific design specifications for now, just how are you going to manage the man-hours and manpower to lay so many tunnels over such a large area? When I was evacuating the frontline, I heard from Big Miss Phimis that those huge amounts of filthy energy descending from the Astral Realm Tear at the Black Flame Mountain Pass would dissipate in half a month to twenty days at most.
In other words, there won’t be more than twenty days left for us to make preparations.
Even with the assistance of psychic energy, that’s too much time to rush.”
“The Silver Dwarves will help.”
Old Qin shook his head:
“I visited the Supreme Lord of the Silver Dwarves before I came here, and that skinny old Dwarf is repenting for the loss of Mother Goddess Gaia’s holy land, and after hearing about our idea, he said that he would mobilize a large number of Earth Priests to come and help.
And he emphasized that if simply shaping the network of underground passages doesn’t involve the reinforcement of earth rituals and the making of fortresses, then the means at the disposal of the earth priests are capable of completing such planning within twenty days.
Moreover, I’m not asking for all the pits to be dug at once, we can do it one phase at a time, first making the pit network near the Spectral Shadow Valley to give the Jackals a downward spiral.
You guys can build the latter ones slowly, but I have a few mandatory requirements.
First of all, you guys have to find a way to design the planned pits with enough hidden troop stations and safe nodes for players to rest and get off the line, once this tactic is carried out, we’ll have to walk underground for a long period of time on a large scale, and stealthy actions are a very important criterion.
Secondly, allow some leeway for pitched battles.
Once the Jackals realize we are hiding underground, they will definitely send huge numbers of Dogheads to fight us in the pits, the opposing side’s numerical advantage in that terrain will be canceled out, but it also means that we have the need for high-frequency battles.
Therefore, a more complex structure, made three-dimensional, would be best.
Lastly, connecting the exit of this pit to the Baphomet’s great dungeon will allow us to retreat into that great natural labyrinth to continue the battle once the front line is lost.
Lord Murphy arranged an NPC in advance to help us explore the upper structure of the Baphomet Great Dungeon, but the jackals won’t be able to feel it out for a short time, and the best case scenario would be for them to make a grudge against the Baphomet Cultists that are hiding in it.”
“Sounds complicated.”
Old Chen said, shaking his head:
“There are basically no samples to refer to in reality.”
“There is!”
Old Qin revealed a subtle smile as he said softly:
“Give me your contact information, in a moment I’ll send you some structural diagrams of large-scale fighting pits that actually exist in reality and are still in use, you guys just modify them accordingly.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this matter requires a professional to step in, this kind of information wouldn’t be given according to the rules.
Just look at it yourself, don’t spread it around.”
Old Qin’s strange smile made Old Chen Tou’s heart flutter as he coughed and added:
“But even if the pit can be designed, the dwarves will be able to complete the excavation on time, however, the command of this kind of decentralized multi-point battle is a big problem, I think, right, with the players’ current combat quality it’s not necessarily possible to handle it.”
“You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll find some professionals in this area to come in, the slots are all applied for. And I’ve always felt that the Arithmetic Pearl is a very marvelous otherworldly thing, it only needs to undergo the necessary modifications to form a rather convenient node-based command system.”
Old Qin toyed with the expert adventuring assistant fixed to his arm as he said:
“You know, I’ve been trying to get the players to learn formal combat, but with little success.
After fighting so many battles, I realized that what suits them best is actually the guerrilla warfare method, that’s the arena where individual heroism is best brought into play, and under the framework of collectivism, I’m sure that they can always each come up with their own detrimental moves, ahem, I mean strange moves, to accomplish some unthinkable tasks by surprise.
Anyway, I’m counting on you guys for the pit design.
Time is short and the task is heavy, will three days be enough?”
“If the information you gave is indeed impressive, three days is definitely enough, after all, it’s just a matter of making modifications according to the terrain not doing it from scratch.” Old Chen Tou pondered for a moment and said:
“I can gather my students together as a large-scale graduation design, it’s not difficult.”
“Alright, let’s make a deal and wait for your good news.”
After saying that, Old Qin stood up to take his leave.
After he left, Professor Chen went offline and waited for ten minutes, then there was a friend application as well as some more information in the mailbox, after decompressing the information to look at the head of the classified level, old Chen’s head directly people numb.
Good guy.
This kind of top secret level of information so casually give?
You really do not pretend to pretend ow, but before are just heard, but did not think that the real world really have this kind of coverage of a whole region and still in use of the giant underground tunnel network ah?
Tsk, today is an eye-opening experience.
—
After giving Happy Stick and a few other commanders their assignments, Master Qin himself went offline in the Valley of the Shadow.
The moment he took off his helmet, he moved his body a bit and pushed his wheelchair again to leave the study to chat with his old partner who was listening to opera, and unsurprisingly, he was disliked for saying that he’s all seventy and eighty years old, and he’s still so obsessed with MMOs.
The old Qin can not explain to his partner how exciting things over there how to save energy, can only be exasperated and said what you want to eat today, and then went to the balcony alone and lit a cigarette, and touched out the cell phone in the address book rummage, and then dialed a number to go out.
“Yo, Master Qin, how did you, a busy man, remember to call me?”
The opposite side responded with a rather brash voice.
It sounded like a middle-aged man, and should belong to Master Qin’s juniors in the military, a place that was particularly fond of ranking seniority.
With their set of black words, is the old Qin brought out of the soldiers, this kind of “own people” between the talk is always much more open, so Master Qin is not polite, the lion’s mouth said:
“I’m not asking for your help. Do you have any talented young men in the past few seasons? Lend me a few, I’m useful, don’t think too much, it’s a serious task for my department, it’s kind of a secondment.”
“Huh? Talented ones? Which side are you referring to?”
The voice on the other side immediately became serious as he asked, and Old Qin explained:
“Commanding aspect, to be precise, staff officer specialty, assisting in the formulation of battle plans and responsible for their implementation, this side because of the work demand to form a simple staff department, the form of work is rather special, I can’t well look for people in active duty, so the students on your side are very suitable.
I want fifteen people.
Don’t ask about the content of the mission, don’t ask about the objectives, and don’t ask for more details, you get me the people, I’ll grant them temporary staffing, and there will be a special person to contact them.”
“So mysterious?”
The voice on the other side was a bit puzzled as he spat:
“Wouldn’t you just look for me for this kind of thing? Recently, the students are on vacation, this pandemic is causing a lot of panic, I’m also idle right now, I’ve long heard that your side is selecting people, the whole thing is very mysterious.
I was wondering, wasn’t I your favorite soldier?
Could it be that I’ve fallen out of favor?”
“You? Better forget it.”
Old Qin bristled:
“You can’t even keep up with the times . But since we’re going to use your students, it’s not good to not let you get involved, okay, I’ll send you an application, fill it out properly and wait for the news, I’ll send you the combat requirements in a while.
As a precautionary note, that thing is going to look rather magical, but just think of it as real.
And just to emphasize, this is a national mission!
Don’t talk out of your ass. You know the rules of confidentiality.
We’ve got three days to get our people together, and we’ll talk about the rest when we get online.
Oh, and in the next few days have nothing to do but dig out the information on tunnel warfare and pitched battles and review them, they’ll be useful for the mission.”
“Huh?”
This flurry of statements to the other side of the whole will not, but Master Qin did not explain more, pleasantries hung up the phone.
The kitchen side already has an aroma wafting out, Old Qin rubbed his stomach and pushed his wheelchair to prepare to go over, but soon there was a message delivered on his cell phone, and he raised an eyebrow when he looked down.
It was a coded message.
It represented that one of his department’s field operations had wrapped up, and an important person was on his way back to China.
“This is going to be another trip out.”
Master Qin sighed.
He didn’t know how much longer he could last with this old arm and leg, and when he thought of how he could jump and jump back to his youth while in Transylvania, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh that many players would have.
This reality, ah, it’s really a bad game.
A few hours later, Loyal Brother, who had just returned home from work and was drinking soup made by Yellow Face, received a phone call, he sighed and finished the soup in a few gulps before getting up to put on his clothes.
This caused his wife and son to be surprised.
It’s this time of the day and you still want to go out?
“Task, don’t ask too many questions, I’m not coming back tonight.”
Putting on a mask, Loyal Brother embraced his wife who, although she usually always complained, still cared about him in critical moments, and with a few more words to his son, he opened the door and went downstairs.
Waiting for ten minutes in front of the neighborhood, a car came, the car door opened, a few of his commanders are on top, everyone’s face reveals a temporary overtime boredom and helplessness, but there is no way to do this line of work to shoulder the responsibility of it.
What’s more, this time things are different.
“Give a word to your family in the next few days, we’re going to stay at the ‘Operation and Maintenance Team’ site for a few days.”
Sitting in the backseat, Brother Loyalty was huddled together with Brother Prodigal and the tall Mustachioed Idiot, who took out cigarettes and distributed them to his subordinates as he said:
“Master Qin is going to make a personal trip over to check out the situation, don’t let him catch you in a work error and give you another lecture.”
“Yo, the big boss personally come over ah, this counts as a netizen line below the base?”
The big Mr. Ziwei who was driving the car grinned, causing the few people in the car to burst out laughing.
Well, with their current state of playing the same game, this wave was really considered offline sex.
The nanny van, carrying four large men, sped its way through the nearly empty city streets and crept into the airport at night, where some tough fraternal sector guys were busy in an airport that was gated due to the pandemic shutdown.
It wasn’t long before a stretcher that had been escorted over was wheeled into the lobby.
Brother Loyalty quickly stepped forward and took one look at the girl lying on the stretcher, who had wasted away to nothing, and he reached out his hand and patted the sleeping other on the cheek.
Waiting for the dazed eyes of his breathing masked counterpart to open, he greeted her softly:
“Welcome home, Cement.”
“Hmm.”
Upon hearing this familiar greeting in her native language, Sister Cement, who had been badly offended by her old sins in recent times, couldn’t hold herself together for a moment, and her eyes reddened, and she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing out.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s over, it’s okay.”
This cry to the loyal brother to the whole will not, hands and feet messy to wipe her tears but by the side of the accompanying nurse sister reprimanded a few times, meaning that this special patient is too weak, can not have too much emotional fluctuations.
But it doesn’t matter.
It was a choppy ride, but it turned out well and all was well.
