My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2309 -770: A New Decisive Weapon! Come, Let’s Dig to the Edge of the Sky

Piggy had already received the news and was waiting in the private room on the tavern’s second floor in advance. When he saw 003 push the door open and enter, the vampire Piggy was momentarily stunned.

“Eh, your ID… You’re a member of the command center?”

Piggy asked curiously:

“Don’t you usually not participate in specific actions? What happened? Did you mess up and get fired by Lord Qin?”

“Hahaha, just think of it like I’ve been fired.”

003 laughed and didn’t reveal much about the command center to Piggy. He knew many players were speculating about the identity of these “professionals” recruited by Lord Qin, so he skipped self-introductions and went straight to the point.

He took out a rough map of Shadow Valley and pointed at two points on it for Piggy:

“Chen Long has already briefly told you about it, right?

We’re conducting a special tunnel warfare. Look, this point is the central area of Tunnel No. 5. The straight-line distance from here to the current jackal people’s base is only 7 kilometers. Over the next five days, we need to dig a tunnel with our bare hands directly to their heart area and use explosives for an underground blow-up.

I’ve already obtained authorization. Once we complete our first phase of operations, the command center will dispatch a force of about 1,000 to support us in wreaking havoc in the jackal people’s base.”

“Damn, that sounds awesome! It’s like riding a dirt plane!”

Piggy laughed heartily, his wings flapping behind him, but he quickly pointed at the map and said:

“Wait, why choose Tunnel No. 5? Tunnel No. 11 is much closer to the jackal people’s camp. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to dig from there?”

“Because it’s been discovered. In the last seven days, there’ve been 25 battles of various scales around Tunnel No. 11. It’s a high-risk area and any excavation work there is likely to be spotted. The primary objective for this operation is concealment.”

003 patiently explained:

“Also, the jackal people aren’t fools. Their Psychics have been continuously monitoring for activity beneath the ground nearby, so after careful selection, I chose Tunnel No. 5.

It reaches 61 meters at its deepest point from the surface, with a general depth of around 30 meters. It’s one of the deepest tunnels dug by dwarves, so we won’t be digging in a straight line. To be precise, we need to dig a sloped tunnel with an incline of about 11° to ensure that the Psychics don’t detect any activity as we approach our destination.”

“That’s a huge workload.”

Piggy said with a furrowed brow:

“We don’t have a shield machine. Just five days to dig with our bare hands… Can we pull this off?”

“If you look at the battle examples on the forum, such excavation work in our ancestors’ war years wouldn’t even rank in the top fifty in terms of difficulty.”

Chinese003 shook his head and said:

“It’s really not that hard. The only issue is time, which means our players might need sufficient willpower.”

“The term ‘our players’ is really strange. It almost sounds like you’re not one of us.”

Piggy clicked his tongue and shook his head, posing as an ‘old-timer’:

“Brother, don’t distance yourself from the masses. You’re a player too. Since you proposed the plan and the boss agreed, our guild’s seventy-plus brothers have nothing to say. We’re in!

Just consider it as a tribute to our ancestors. When do we start?”

“If it’s convenient, now.”

003 shrugged and said:

“No time like the present.”

“Alright, let me assemble the crew.”

Piggy didn’t hesitate and immediately went to the forum to call his friends.

003 grinned, thinking the players were so eager and adorable, always trusting one of their own completely.

With that in mind, 003 stood up intending to experience a player’s daily life in the tavern. As he pushed the door open, he saw the “star player” Giant Shark weakly supporting himself against the wall as he emerged from a neighboring room, wiping kiss marks off his face and neck with a handkerchief.

Mumbling something about how “exciting it was” and “I’m still young, stop it” among other nonsense.

Upon seeing 003 curiously staring at him, Giant Shark’s old face blushed. The otherwise robust Wam berserker covered his face in embarrassment and rushed out, like he’d been caught doing something wrong.

Chinese003 curiously peeked into the adjacent room and saw the tavern’s Shadow Elf owner leaning against the door in quite revealing clothing, savoring some sort of recent memory, sipping on her drink, and even tossing a flirty wink at 003.

Now, naive 003 finally understood what Giant Shark had been up to.

Damn!

This game is really raunchy and brutal!

It’s truly 18+, impressive, pal!

Chinese003, being a good kid, fled from the second floor to the first floor, intending to order a drink and chat with Giant Shark about some intriguing details. But he was immediately stopped in his tracks by a bear-like Nord soldier.

“Hey, I just heard from the guys at the ‘Unyielding Pride’ Mercenary Corps that you’re organizing a raid on the jackal people’s base?”

The drunken Nord wiped his mouth and said:

“My brother was killed by the jackal people, and the rest of my brothers don’t want to go on leave carrying the burden of an unfinished failure. Is your plan feasible? Do you need more manpower?”

“Damn, the players’ ‘strict’ secrecy is truly soul-crushing.”

003 slapped his face and closed his eyes, sighing as he looked at this giant who towered over him:

“Are you just going to leave with me? Won’t your commander give me trouble?”

“My commander was bitten to death by the Star Realm Wolf, and Colonel Basomi Yang was injured. We’re waiting to be reassigned, so for now, we’re free to do as we please during this break.”

The northerner cursed roughly:

“I keep my head attached with my belt without saying a word, and you have so many issues? Just tell me, will it work or not?”

“How many people do you have?”

003 asked:

“I won’t take on too few.”

“Over 200, counting the wounded would make it more. Is that enough?”

“Hmm, alright, bring them all and their engineer shovels, gather your people, we’re heading out immediately. But one thing: you must follow orders and listen to commands. If your head gets lost, that’s fine, but if you cause the operation to fail, you can expect to face a military tribunal.”
