My Players Are So Fierce

Gaia descended with divine power, blasting the second position along with the jackal men and gnolls there.

This method, though straightforward and brutal, somewhat disregarded the opinions of the parties involved.

Uh, of course, we’re not talking about the opinions of the jackal men here; no one worries even if they die in great numbers.

The main complaint comes from Murphy and the soldiers at the second position.

You demand your Mother Earth to show her might, but what was the point of leveling our painstakingly built warfare infrastructure with one hit?

Digging trenches and setting barbed wire is tiring work, you know.

We finally found those key nodes to defend, just as the classic trench warfare began to unfold, and now it’s all gone.

Ah, such a bastard divine spirit!

Obviously, grumbling aside, the war must go on.

Especially as Mother Earth lent her powerful support to break through the jackal man’s position, and everyone was intensified by the aggressive reinforcement from Vam; not seizing the opportunity for a counterattack would be disrespectful to the twilight warfare granted by both deities.

The first to react was Lord Hether.

She led her trusted aides and several Blood Covenant Retinue Armies to slaughter from the flanking side into position one ahead, clearly aiming to reclaim all her territories in one sweep.

Perhaps there’s also a sense of showing loyalty to Mother Earth Gaia, who is watching here.

Hether herself has become a vampire, indifferent to how the Mother Goddess views her, but she commands a group of stubborn Shield Dwarves, and there are many dwarves in the retinue army.

Noteworthy is Colonel Kardel, the previously evasive Brass Dwarf Artillery officer, who now doesn’t utter a word about profit and business.

He personally led his artillery team to join Hether’s offensive and showed extreme sincerity and excitement.

Evidently, this guy got scared!

As the race closest to Mother Earth, all dwarves just felt Gaia’s wrath from the depths of their souls when the divine power was unleashed.

It’s not just her anger at the jackal men for the black disaster destroying order; there’s clearly a part unrelated to the war in her wrath.

The Mother Goddess was truly in a bad mood today, allowing every dwarf with normal senses to feel Mother Earth’s scrutinizing gaze, akin to a judge’s cold attitude toward a suspect—terrifying indeed.

The guilt-ridden Brass Dwarves naturally hurry to show off, while Silver Dwarf Earth Priests, further in their faith, seem to notice a subtlety in Mother Earth’s attitude.

But now’s not the time to discuss these matters; working together to reclaim position one is essential.

The main NPC defenders charged forward, relieving the players who felt pressured by the jackal men.

They didn’t need directing and followed the NPCs into position one in a loose formation.

Players are truly fearless when courageous but also truly cunning when sly.

Aside from the giant sharks and Wam believer players, everyone else was in great sync, frantically looting the jackal men’s war spoils after entering position one—after all, you don’t bring it in life, nor take it in death; helping the jackal men lighten their load on the way to death is quite commendable.

Moreover, the brothers have been fighting fiercely, investing much into consumables, etc., and now there’s finally a chance to recoup, isn’t it right to enjoy it?

Driven by this mentality, Lord Hether’s army kept slaying, while players swept through like vacuum cleaners, until lucky Little Brother Fu and his Scorpion Lion found a gnoll-dug ground hole at position one’s edge and went inside to check, then sent a major bombshell message through players’ communication framework:

“Hey, I found your blown-up equipment.

The jackal men hid them in position one’s edge ground hole—it might not be all, but most of it’s here!

Come get it!”

“Ha, is there really such good news?”

Deep-fried Sweet Potato, who was roaming with Lord Qin, suddenly smiled broadly.

He also got killed and lost lots of items in the previous battle, causing great distress.

Initially thinking they wouldn’t be retrievable, now suddenly, Monyu found the monster’s gear stash.

It looks like some weird ‘game setting.’

Maybe the development team is secretly trying some ‘new feature,’ but anyway, reclaiming the gear is always delightful.

Especially for the Rushing River Knights Group’s selected vanguards.

They wear plate armor when fighting; losing these expensive items puts them in a mood where they’d rather embrace explosive charges against jackal men’s despicable gear theft.

Upon hearing that the lost gear is by the position’s edge, Tepar didn’t hesitate, quickly rushing over with knights equally ‘unsuited for battle’ on the chaotic position.

They arrived at the gear-stashing ground hole, already filled with players moving stuff around—they must reclaim their own among the jackal men’s ‘spoils’ piled together.

But no need to worry about someone stealing; though this gear dropped, it’s still ‘soul-bound,’ preventing others from well using it before that spiritual energy’s users’ aura dissipates.

If monsters drop gear, robbing it might be excusable, but getting your own brothers’ gear—they won’t mix in players’ circle after being caught.
