Meat Grinder Officially Starts

After the first regiment retreated back to their position, the defenders at Blackflame Mountain Pass didn’t even have time to be shocked by the terrifying combat resolve of these Transia people.

They saw over 500 members of the second regiment, taking over from their comrades with an indescribable “excitement,” stepping over the remains and the scent of blood and once again guarding the heights.

But Ayu’s “Crow’s mouth prophecy” before going offline to rest was correct.

The very afternoon the second regiment took their position, they faced the second wave of harassment attacks from the nearby wolf people, and by the end of the fight that evening, the second regiment had lost one-sixth of their men in one battle.

Many excited newbies rushed forward to try and engage in combat with the wolf people but didn’t last even thirty seconds before meeting their end.

Clearly, individual combat strength is hard to wield in such chaotic large-scale engagements, especially since these newbies who joined just a few days ago have little to no “individual combat strength” to speak of.

Many of them were thrown into the “death match” without even having fully mastered the basic skills.

It’s not just elite monsters; even ordinary wolf people didn’t require heavy attacks.

All they had to do was wait for the newbies to charge in shouting, making it easy to break their moves with one strike, and the second strike would finish them off.

This embarrassing way of dying led the newbies to lament about the lack of gaming experience on the forums, but the old players wouldn’t coddle them.

Anyone who whined would immediately be bestowed with the honorary title of “chicken,” and the Appetite Relief Party would waste no time in rushing to mock them.

It’s not that the old players bully the newcomers; there’s a reason for their behavior.

The first battle of the second regiment wasn’t fatal for all the newbies.

Those who followed Commander Lord Qin’s orders to dig trenches before the battle started, and patiently stayed in them until the counterattack was launched, all survived.

Moreover, during the final phase of the counterattack, almost everyone reaped some rewards.

Among those who perished, apart from a few truly unlucky individuals, most belonged to the “unorganized and undisciplined” group.

The facts proved that in this type of large-scale defensive group battle, the consequence of not following orders is nothing but being wasted.

This is the unique combat strategy of the second regiment.

Lord Qin fully absorbed the lessons of the first regiment.

Before taking Blood Flag Heights, he grouped the old players, assigning roles in assault, defense, long-range support, and medical support in a well-organized manner.

Upon taking over the position from the first regiment, Lord Qin’s first order was to have the newbies, who had not been assigned specific tasks, begin digging trenches around the heights.

This was his “grand gift package” and “first lesson” for the newbies.

If there’s no individual combat power, let’s replace it with collective obedience.

They had conducted rehearsals in the crisscrossing trenches of the Maginot Line a few times in advance and had a basic understanding of trench warfare.

Different from Brother Meow, who relied on shouting commands and eye contact, Old Qin set up several fixed zones on the heights.

He gathered all the firebombs and players skilled in using them on the heights as an artillery position, handing over most of the explosives to players of the Hunter and Forest Ranger professions, stationed in the first line of trenches to provide fire support.

He also planned to dig a second circle of trenches after the first day’s battle ended as blocking trenches to stop the swift Throne Wolf assaults of the wolf people.

Given that the wolf people currently only attack from one direction in the front, Old Qin believed that with the proper coordination, the remaining men under his command could definitely hold out.

Clearly, the second regiment is preparing to turn Blood Flag Heights into a multi-layered trench defense line with crossfire, and Old Qin, this old soldier becoming more youthful by the day, intends to turn this place into a “meat grinder.”

He wasn’t acting on a whim to do this.

During the days the first regiment defended the heights, Lord Qin made a special trip back to the National Armory of Transylvania, and cleared out Loyal Brother’s stockpile of idle explosives.

He absolutely came prepared.

“Three days!”

Amidst the smoke after the first battle ended, Old Qin stood on the heights, leaning on his Mosin Nagant, and shouted down at the players looking up at him:

“My requirement is, we must hold for at least three days!

This is the bottom line; every day beyond that is profit.

I know it’s hard, but a mission is a mission!

There’s no room for negotiation.

The second regiment will either complete the mission or be carried out by our brothers’ troops!

I know many of you still don’t appreciate my command right now, but that’s okay!

If you refuse to comply, leave, and wait at the first or third regiment.

I don’t want those who don’t follow orders here!

Our second regiment has the most newbies, but I don’t see this as a bad thing.

The old players have become accustomed to their freedom and have their combat styles, but the bloody example of the first regiment proved that their methods don’t work in real wars!

I will teach you how to fight if you’re willing to learn.

Now follow my orders and complete the digging of the blocking trenches before the next wave of wolf people attacks!

Lin!”

“Here!”

The Tiger Leopard Riders Lin, whose name was called, straightened up with a jerk and stood forward, Old Qin gestured that he need not salute, but sternly said:

“You come from an engineer soldier background, I need you to lead a team to lay mines at the end of the combat area.

I brought 800 pieces of anti-infantry landmines, experimental improvements from the armory, entrusted to me to see the practical effect.”
