My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2325 -776: Brothers, Grab Your Water Pipes—It’s Time to Give Your All! [Bonus 9/30]

(Extra chapter for “Temp Awaiting Lin Xian” brother [4/5])

“The fight has broken out at Shadow Valley! Even the strategists have picked up weapons. My god, Five-Wheeler is so brave and badass! His bayonet skills are practically killing gods if they stand in his way, and that final big explosion took out at least a dozen Wolf People.

Awesome!

It’s really hard to believe he’s a newbie who hasn’t even passed the Black Iron trial!”

The war in Shadow Valley quickly became known to the warriors executing the “Gaia’s Rage” operation through forum discussions and live broadcasts from Transia Tavern. They were eagerly discussing the details of the war happening at their own base, even able to accurately describe the heroic performance of a fallen comrade. They were analyzing, almost like fighting crickets, which newbie was the most promising.

The domestic 007 overseeing the action was looking helpless. These guys were chatting away, but come on, do some work, please! Leaving everything to the NPCs, I mean, you’re really taking advantage of the big-picture-minded NPCs who won’t refuse or resist in such a situation, right?

But the players weren’t just slacking off.

The excavation work had been successfully completed, and they had created a football field-sized blast space about five to seven meters underground at the Wolf People’s base. At that moment, the demolitionists from the People’s Army and the Arsenal were placing explosives there, with some notably enthusiastic players helping out.

This was the final phase of the operation, and also the most technically challenging one.

Not to mention that the players were chatting away; even if they wanted to help, domestic 003 wasn’t very trusting of them. Better to let them keep chatting.

However, the topics the players discussed quickly caught the attention of some observant NPCs. For example, Captain Ivankov, a close comrade of 003, noticed something odd and discreetly approached while 003 was checking his equipment to ask:

“Do you guys have some kind of secret technique? How can even the lowest-ranked recruits in your company accurately describe the current situation at Shadow Valley? Also, are you sure there’s nothing mentally wrong with your recruits?

I just heard them discussing some things that sounded quite horrifying to me, like whether humans can… cough, cough, this is too evil, my friend. You better take some time to check on your soldiers’ mental health.

This symptom shouldn’t be delayed any longer.”

“I’d like to tell you this is all normal, yet even I don’t believe that myself. But you don’t need to overthink it, and I can guarantee that they were normal back home… probably.”

003 rolled his eyes, then frowned as he picked up the newly issued “Blood Vulture Claw” gun.

If he had a choice, he really wouldn’t want to use this damn thing. At this point, he could only remove the magazine, look at it closely to confirm no mistakes, then insert it back, and pick up another empty magazine, loading it with Burning Gold Bullets one by one while sitting on an ammo crate.

This was obviously his “special weapon” for dealing with elite monsters.

Taking advantage of this moment, domestic 003 also explained to Ivankov:

“It’s no secret anymore that we are outsiders, and you’re a soldier who seems rough but is actually quite detailed. While you’ve been observing me these past few days, I’ve also been watching you, Ivan.

I know what you’re really trying to ask. I’ll tell you, yes! We have another command system outside of this world that you can never interfere with, which is more convenient and safer than the one we’re currently using.

Even when the Wolf People used spells to disrupt local Spiritual Energy, making the Calculating Pearl unusable, the communication between us remained at an unimaginable level for you.

This means that if Transylvania and Nordtof go to war in the future, you won’t be able to counter us using the method of disrupting the command system.

That’s not our only advantage, but due to discipline, I can’t disclose more to you.”

“That’s not what I meant, 003. You can’t defame a noble Nordtof officer! I come from a noble family too…”

“You’re an illegitimate child, born in an estate near Borisogleb. Your father’s wife made an agreement with your impoverished mother to prevent you from competing for family assets and used family connections to send you into the army.

You didn’t start your service right away at Ice Bay but worked your way up from a grassroots officer.

You were also the intelligence officer of your unit.”

Domestic 003 continued loading the magazine and said without looking up:

“See, Ivan, I know you may not be a spy, but your background in this area means you’ll always subconsciously look for information.

This is a dangerous occupational hazard, but you’re the first NPC I can consider a friend. So I want to tell you in this way, during this cooperation between Transylvania and Nordtof, don’t try anything dangerous!

Our leader is a vampire, and there’s a clan of the continent’s most feared assassins and thieves among vampires. We don’t even need to act personally to get all your background and information.

It’s ridiculously easy, just a simple request to a friendly unit.”
