My Players Are So Fierce

Maginot Line officially starts construction!_3

Each and every one is a hero who sees hand signals as pre-dinner entertainment, a madman who has etched 100% war mobilization into their bones, and a ruthless person who would jack up taxes to 95% to support the war.

Especially after Murphy delegated player recruiting authority to second-tier guilds, the Scarlet Hammer Refining Group was the first to raise the guild level to that rank, a bunch of veteran Battlefield Old Six and some top experts from the Yamaguchi Ding Speed Victorious Flow who were invited by Stick Brother had already started physical training in reality, preparing to participate in the sacred war to “Defend Transylvania.”

To put it more artistically…

Murphy had unleashed his most fanatic war hounds, and a group of “war enthusiasts,” led by Stick Brother, was eagerly preparing to show off their skills.

“This trench is dug quite well.”

On high ground that overlooked the direction of the defense line, Tiger Leopard Riders Lin put down his monocular and said to Stick Brother:

“It’s worthy of being dug under the personal guidance of Professor Chen, who has experienced militia training.

Not only is the depth perfect and the layout crisscrossed, but there is also enough room for communication trenches and half-body trenches for different uses, even the reinforcement and improvement of the drainage system.

I think there’s no need to build any ground fortresses!

Just snapping a photo of these already dug trenches and posting it in the group is enough to get those who’ve already qualified for the trenches all howling.”

“Bullshit!”

Stick Brother’s voice contained a hint of uncontrollable weakness as he touched his somewhat itchy neck and said in a low tone:

“You think this is playing games?

There is no reset option here; we only get one chance!

If we lose, it’s game over for everyone!

These trenches are just the most basic first step, the foundation of our defense line!

We need to not only build a sufficient number of permanent works at each strategic point in the terrain but also complete construction of supply storage and rest areas underground.

I need General Maxim to send his soldiers over here; not many locals have experience with trench warfare, and we must start training them from now.

Plus, there’s the issue of firepower.

I don’t know what Loyalty Brother is thinking or what his plans are, but I demand that before the war truly breaks out, my position must have enough firepower to repel large-scale enemy movements…

I know everyone is having a hard time, so I won’t be making outrageous demands for super heavy guns like ‘Big Bertha’, but can you at least give me enough mortars?

What’s so difficult about making those?”

“You have to understand Loyal Brother.

His pressure isn’t any less than ours; he not only has to provide fire support for the Maginot Line but also handle the production of weapons for the People’s Army, and now he doesn’t even have enough skilled workers.”

Beside him, Tiger Leopard Cavalry Bing shook his head and said:

“I suspect we can’t avoid bayonet combat in the early stages of this war.

Speaking of which, yesterday a brother translated the entire ‘Militia Training Manual’ into the Calculating Pearl, and he even got a polished version of the ‘Barefoot Doctor’s Manual.’

We should start training military medics now, Stick Brother.

I think you are well aware of how big an impact a functioning field hospital can have on morale and its maintenance in this kind of background.”

“That’s not our responsibility.”

Stick Brother said somewhat sullenly:

“Sir Morphy appointed a very strange guy to train military medics and set up field hospitals, a guy named ‘Pantless Demon.’ Say, was there such a person on the forums before?

I don’t remember seeing him.”

“There are many people you haven’t met; it’s not like before when we only had so few people, in just these two weeks, the brothers who have entered the game have exceeded 150.”

Tiger Leopard Riders Lin shook his head and said:

“You have to get used to this change; in the future, there will be even more strangers joining us…

Speaking of which, I have to report a ‘special situation’ to you.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

Stick Brother took out the defense line blueprint that he had begged Professor Chen to draft for him to review, pondering how to construct his own responsibility area, while listening to his aide’s words.

Lin looked around before lowering his voice and saying:

“My Engineering Company commander from my army days suddenly contacted me yesterday, asking me what the comrades I have been inviting were planning to do.

After I explained the situation, the old company commander said he was interested and asked me for a link.

But in my memory, my company commander is very old-fashioned, he had no interest in gaming, but now he’s so strangely enthusiastic, so I suspect…”

“Shush.”

Stick Brother’s heart tightened.

He immediately stopped Lin from continuing, but the few people beside them all showed a sort of tacit understanding.

After a few seconds of thinking, Stick Brother shook his head and said:

“Never mind!

We can’t control this; if someone wants to come, let them come!

But make it clear upfront, once they come in, they must obey commands!

Otherwise, just let him go start his own thing.”

“He said he would.”

Lin scratched his head and said:

“The old company commander said he will definitely follow orders and command, and he also mentioned he could help us recruit more veterans to strengthen our guild.

Sigh, this was something we previously longed for, but why do I now feel a bit apprehensive…”

“Don’t be afraid.”

Stick Brother himself felt a bit nervous.

But he knew that now was the time to give his brothers a morale booster, so he put on a fearless pose, hands on his hips, and boasted:

“Don’t look at their seniority; they’re not as experienced in actual combat as we are, the fighting here is different from outside, and the army has always been a place where strength speaks!

Don’t show weakness, brothers.

Outside, you call him the old company commander, but here he’d have to salute you!

Everyone, show some more arrogance, it’s only with the aura of veteran players that you can keep those guys in line.

Hmph, let’s start with this Black Disaster war, and show them what we’re made of!”
