My Players Are So Fierce

1971: Chapter 658: This Is Sparta!!!

1971 -658: This Is Sparta!!!

The operation plan code-named “Hammer of Victory” was set up very simply, almost carelessly.

Yet, its progression was unusually smooth.

The newbie players were worried that the developers might fix the newly discovered “numerical bug” online, so they were very enthusiastic, eager to fly from Shadow Valley to the Jackal Man formation tonight and cause chaos.

The veteran players were not focusing on honor points and equipment issues; they were already looking at the defense and war progress of Blackflame Mountain Pass.

The Pī zhǎo Clan of the Wolf People was undoubtedly mobilizing a large army, the number of Wolf People around the formation was increasing every day.

Veteran players were not the type to sit still; they had to strike a decisive victory to drop the morale of the Wolf People and thus gain some advantage for the real war outbreak.

As for the NPCs…

They were indeed a bit flustered by this sudden operation plan, but thanks to Maxim’s continuous training in Shadow Valley, the People’s Army’s organization was kept at a high level, ensuring that the Monster General’s mobilization was swift.

The only troublesome area was the Brass Dwarf Artillery at Blackflame Mountain Pass; as expected, they refused to participate.

They believed the Transia People’s chances of success in this adventurous action were less than one-tenth, but this didn’t matter because the Golden Flower Vanguard filled the firepower gap, and Lord Hether had indeed prepared 60 Dwarfish field guns for them.

These small-caliber cannons were mounted on mobile carts, pulled by Roth Beasts for rapid movement, and combined with the Transia People’s unique “Iron Tube Kids” formation, allowing Commander Lord Qin to have a structured firepower cluster for the first time three hours before the action began.

This was very good news.

However, there were always many things for commanders to focus on.

The task for newbies was simple, which was to charge into enemy lines time and again and trigger large self-explosions in the “meat grinder battlefield” to earn honor and rewards.

But the veterans’ responsibilities in this battle were much heavier.

They not only had to act as the spearheads to open gaps for newbies but also stabilize the offensive until the enemy numbers reached a manageable limit to act as “bait” and attract the main force of the Wolf People.

Most importantly, the “self-explosion tactics” used by the newbies did not have “disable friendly fire,” so before launching the “big self-explosion” tactics, the veterans needed to retreat to a safe area.

“My Winged Cavalry Squadron will assist in your retreat.

We will charge onto the battlefield at the right moment, make sure you complete the withdrawal quickly.”

Within the psychic communication framework dedicated to commanders, Happy Stick was explaining tactics to several veteran Players’ Guild commanders:

“Once the newbies enter the field, it’s hard to control them.

They don’t have enough combat experience to know what to do and when, their only task is to find crowded places and drink the Victory Wine to activate the Pact.

In this chaotic situation, the most worrying thing is not the enemy but teammates.

If any fool loses their head, you’ll have to experience the three-day withdrawal treatment.

So, play smart!

Old Qin has made 600 veteran players command newbies in this battle.

The core strong combat veteran players will act as Formation Breakers; you’ll rotate to advance, the number of Wolf People in the Vanguard formation is many, we can’t settle it all in one go.

It’s estimated that several rounds of big self-explosion would be required to break the Wolf People’s morale.

Once they start to retreat, the remaining tasks become simple.

Luckily, the newbies know what they’re here for, they have no psychological burden about being cannon fodder, even eager to try, we don’t need to persuade them.”

“Our Torrent Knights will be on reception duty!”

Joining such a large-scale battle as a group for the first time, Honorary Knight Taipal tried hard to keep calm, but the excitement in his tone was undisguisable.

He said:

“We’ve gathered a regiment of 300 veteran player knights, all wearing plate armor, and warhorses are armored too, enough to ensure defense.

Although our destructive power and impact can’t compare to the Winged Cavalry, our advantage is flexibility!

We will serve as Lord Qin’s reserve to be deployed in the necessary battlefield areas at any time.”

“Everyone has been issued signal flares of various colors.”

Old Qin finally reminded within the command framework:

“Once on the battlefield, judging the battlefield’s trend based on your own vision is impossible, you should not think of the whole battlefield situation, you only need to take care of your responsible area.

Remember.

Green signal flare means all is smooth, yellow signal flare means support needed, red signal flare means a death battle!

Fire a signal flare every twenty minutes to tell me the situation in your responsible area.

This is our first time planning and executing such a large-scale group operation; problems are bound to happen, don’t think everything will go smoothly according to plan.

But having problems is not terrible, we will have chances to fix them later, I just want to tell everyone, be sure to quickly adapt to this mutual cooperation combat model.

Considering Black Disaster’s manifested scale, once Blackflame Mountain Pass is lost, without NPC support, we have to roll up sleeves and fight ourselves.

In that situation, the cooperation among player forces will directly decide our subsequent strategic tactics, so don’t be afraid of mistakes, practice more when the current situation still allows!”
