My Players Are So Fierce

They still don’t understand what it means to be ‘players’…

Death?

That’s not the issue!

The issue is whether we can accomplish our tactical objectives before we die!

Our lives are consumables, it was like this from the start, I think the command is acting a bit too conservatively.

Old-timer Lord Qin surely knows this, he used similar tactics in the Blood Flag Wheel War and on the Death Plateau Battlefield, but his staff are too rigid and don’t quite get it.

It’s up to us to teach them a ‘lesson’ with concrete actions and examples, remind them how to properly use creatures like players.

Today, we’re going to destroy that supply depot!”

“Brilliant.”

Upon hearing this, Ugly Bull immediately understood.

The tall Shandong man pounded his fists and said:

“Brother Meow and those high-level guilds are now scattered at the Blackflame Mountain Pass cutting off the Jackalman Food Road, but these barbarians brought their supplies with them.

To make them panic, we have to start making them go hungry now.”

“Exactly.”

Piggy, acting as the “White Fan of the Guild,” flapped his wings and snorted:

“We’ve brought all the fire starters and explosives from Point C.

As long as we can get in, we can blow up the Jackalmen’s supplies in no time.

The problem is the place is heavily defended, you know?

We can’t hope to fight our way in head-on with our small numbers, we’ll have to use ‘unconventional tactics’.

“Damn, isn’t it just a self-explosion?

I figured you couldn’t come up with anything good.”

Xugou smirked but he only complained a little, he didn’t really oppose Piggy and Chen Long’s idea.

But this guy thought more deeply, and he whispered:

“For us guys, it’s surely not a problem, but the newbies from the guild are here.

It’s no problem making them self-explode, everyone knows newbies grow this way.

But even self-explosion has its nuances, how do we calculate the payoff?”

“Here!”

Chen Long opened a rough map of the Jackal Camp on the Adventure Assistant and pointed at the spots marked in green, saying:

“These are where the Jackalmen store their weapons.

The Thorn Vampires have scouted inside, and this place is very close to the supply depot.

When we burn the supply depot, our NPCs can sneak in to cause some chaos.

I have issued each of them five psychic energy bags.

When causing chaos, they can bring some stuff out as well; it doesn’t even need to be of high quality.

The newbies need that ‘contribution leads to rewards’ feeling.

Moreover, if this succeeds, there’s military merit to gain.

Isn’t grinding honor and military ranks the main job for us PvP enthusiasts?

So the issue is, the ruckus we create has to be big enough!

The NPCs only have one life.

The bigger our ruckus, the safer they are.

It’s a pity we’ll have to abandon this tunnel after this mission, though we got lucky their camp is right next to it, this surprise attack opportunity is a one-time chance!

Whether we can make a name for ourselves depends on this!

Get the brothers ready, we’ll make our move in fifteen minutes!

I’m leading the charge myself, so the brothers see we’re not afraid to take risks.”

“Okay!”

Ugly Bull responded and went out to organize the newbies.

Before long, the restless little fellows gathered under the tunnel according to the plan.

Piggy and Xugou were each holding a bag, instructing the newbies to line up, giving each one a bottle of “special recipe” victory wine and a pack of otherworldly TNT from the materials warehouse at point C.

“This victory wine is a new product from Lady Triss’ Alchemy Cottage, said to still be in testing.”

The chubby Thorn Vampire, Piggy, reminded them:

“After drinking, revive in three days and remember to write a trial report, the more detailed the better.

It’s said you can exchange these for a few gold coins at the Alchemy Cottage.

Not much, but it’s still money.”

“Brother Pig, Brother Pig, is it really ‘finders keepers’ this time?”

The newbie with the ID “I’ll Give You a Heavy Punch” asked excitedly:

“If I manage to scrounge up some leftovers from a BOSS, do I get to keep it all?”

“Damn, you really dare to dream.”

Piggy found the question amusing, and he patted the Heavy Punch on the shoulder, earnestly saying:

“I advise you not to get your hopes up.

At this stage, BOSSes are unlikely to die from unknown AOE attacks for you to scrounge from, but having dreams is good, so I’ll tell you, go for it!

Hope you find some good stuff.

Remember to follow orders, don’t run around, even your death should be valuable, got it?”

“Got it, got it!”

Heavy Punch awkwardly strapped the explosive pack to his body, then did a proper military salute, and said loudly:

“Wherever my good brothers want me to charge, I have no objections.

I just wish to devote my everything to Sir Murphy’s grand plan and mission!”

“Good stuff, you should join the Wam Brothers Society with Giant Shark, you’d find many like-minded folks there.”

Piggy grinned and continued distributing the “explosive sets.”

Fifteen minutes flew by, and Chen Long, who’d been keeping an eye on the time, stood up abruptly, buckled his helmet on his head, hoisted his battle axe, and strode forward.

If there was a choice, Chen Long wouldn’t want to wear his best gear to carry out this suicide mission, but the point is, as the breaker of formation for this battle, there’s no way he could withstand the Jackalman’s fierce attack without his good gear.
