My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2308 -770: The New Decisive Weapon! Come, Let’s Dig to the Ends of the Earth

They are compressing our area of activity, forcing us to give up flexible maneuvering in narrower terrains. The final result of this tactic is that we will be squeezed into disconnected tunnels, compelled to confront the Jackal People in a direct battle.

Although they lack heavy weapons, they have found a way to contain us.”

“And one more thing!”

The female advisor, Domestic 013, also spoke up:

“I think the Jackal People are executing an ‘intimidation’ tactic. As players realize the tunnels they are in could collapse at any moment, our actions will become more cautious. Even if the players are unafraid, the NPCs following them will be scared.

They are using this cruel method to undermine our morale.

We must think of a solution.”

“The Earth Priest is now bogged down by the dual actions of the Gnolls digging into the valley and the Jackal People disintegrating the mountain. They have no time to help us reopen the tunnels.”

Five Wheels pondered and said:

“So, the Jackal People’s actions are not just a singular clever move. It’s a unified, comprehensive plan. Do you have any ideas?”

“My suggestion is, instead of waiting for the Jackal People to intimidate us, why don’t we adopt the same approach?”

Domestic 013 suggested:

“No need to be restricted by the original exit shafts set in the tunnels. Let the players move freely and launch ‘pressure’ attacks against the Jackal People’s Base with more frequent sniper shots and artillery. They are also carbon-based lifeforms and need rest!

Our players can hit and run, quickly relocating through the tunnels. If they dare to pursue, bury them.”

“Hmm, that’s possible. What else is there?”

“I discovered there were player reports of several instances where Jackal People hunted Star Realm Wolves for fresh meat. Those Star Realm Wolves are elusive and avoid direct conflict with the Jackal People. If we can find a way to intensify the conflict between them, we can at least tie up some of the Jackal People’s energy.”

Another advisor said:

“In this regard, we have an advantage. The Jackal People do not have a systematic air force, and their reconnaissance capabilities are far inferior to ours.”

“Speaking of air force, why can’t our air force directly carry out air raids on the Jackal People’s Base?”

Domestic 007 asked doubtfully:

“Wasn’t there a previous strategy where vampires used aerial bombs? If we had more of those massive weapons, we could completely blow them off their feet. Air superiority is a very important aspect, but I’ve never seen Lord Qin use this advantage.”

“The factory is undergoing a weapons upgrade. They don’t have the manpower to produce extra high-altitude explosives.”

Five Wheels explained:

“But the good news is, soon we will have new firearms available, which are several times more powerful than our current firepower. Yet, until the new equipment arrives, we must hold on.”

“What about explosives? The supply of ordinary explosives should be sufficient, right?”

A rarely noticed young advisor suddenly spoke:

“If we use the existing tunnels, without relying on the Earth Priest, we could let players and NPCs use manual labor to dig a tunnel to the underground base of the Jackal People. Choose a good location, and bury enough explosives…

Let them taste a ‘soil bomb.’

We could even use this chaos to carry out a central ‘blossom’ operation against the enemy’s base, even if just to boost morale, I believe it’s worth a try.

Actually, I’ve always thought, can’t tunnel digging be done without the Earth Priest?

Our predecessors used engineer shovels to dig tunnels quickly and effectively, always relying on the Earth Priest seems like a case of losing sight of the fundamentals.

If old tunnels were bombed, dig new ones.

If an old tunnel was discovered, dig a new one from an unexpected place to continue operations.

This is the essence of flexible tunnel warfare.

Now, while relying on a complete tunnel system for combat is convenient, it has lost the core of flexible change.

I am willing to personally go to the front line to try my idea.

Before entering the military academy, I was an engineer soldier. I think this plan is feasible. I need some people and suffice explosives.

Five days! I only need five days!”

“003, sounds great, but you just wanted to go to the battlefield to enjoy yourself, right?”

“Hey, you got me. Just tell me if it’s a go or not. If you’re not 100% confident in your strategic plan, how can you be a good advisor?”

“Good!”

Five Wheels thought for a while, and decided:

“I can mobilize and conduct an attack operation involving about a thousand people based on your proposal. As for the players you need, recruit them yourself on the forum. Others will mobilize players and NPCs to clear those collapsed tunnels. 003 is right. Without the Earth Priest, does it mean we won’t fight?

Since the People’s Army was equipped with engineer shovels, let’s use them correctly.

Lord Qin granted us command over Shadow Valley, and even if just for the sake of pride, we must hold until we complete the mission!”

—————–

“Domestic 003” received authorization happily.

This guy enthusiastically logged into the game, no longer wearing his People’s Army advisor uniform, but instead, like other newbies, changed into a veteran leather armor, equipped with the expert Adventure Assistant supported by Lord Qin, and left the command center in style.

He had just chatted on the forum with Chen Long, and upon learning the guy had a plan to help him vent his frustration and his brothers’, Chen Long readily agreed to cooperate and even sent him to the tavern to find his brother Piggy.
