My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2898 -966: The Lighthearted and Cheerful Black Disaster Epilogue Begins_2

Moreover, I have received accurate information that within the next half month, the officials will issue another batch of helmets. If your guilds don’t use those quotas, I will buy them at a high price.”

“Sounds like a lucrative deal.”

Brother Meow exchanged glances with his brothers and said:

“Can we not defend the city? I mean, we participate in the war but engage in guerrilla warfare outside the city.”

“No way, the first phase is city defense.”

Old Qin explained:

“Only after the city is secured will the war zones be opened, and then it’ll be up to our skills. Additionally, the People’s Army has issued a special mission to collect those damaged steam walkers on the battlefield.

Once a machine is found and handed over, the People’s Army will reward the group with twenty thousand Gold Coins and a military rank promotion.”

“This is great!”

Yan Song, beside Brother Meow, got excited immediately; this kind of search mission was perfect for psychic scouts like him.

Currently, the scout count among the player community is barely twenty. This additional task will surely be scooped up entirely by them, and given the demand for gold coin exchange at Transia Tavern now, just this task alone can earn him a fortune.

“I still need to check the other two ships. You all wait here for departure orders, and don’t wander off.”

Old Qin quickly finished his checks. He activated his swift eagle exoskeleton flight pack and advised the players from mid-air:

“Although it’s unlikely that the airship will encounter danger at high altitudes, if something does happen, as veteran players, you must take the lead, understood? Everyone here carries a military rank, and in critical moments, you must step forward.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Qin, we’ve seen and done it all before; leave it to us without worries.”

Brother Meow saluted in a rather informal manner, then watched as Lord Qin flew toward the other two armed airships. Just then, Ring Attack, who was leaning against the ship’s railing enjoying the view, suddenly shouted:

“Brother Qu! Your wife is down there!”

“Ah?”

Old Qu, who had been feeling a bit melancholic these past few days, turned his head to look, and sure enough, down at the boarding gate, Lieutenant Mia… no, Captain Mia, was preparing to board the airship with a platoon of fully armed Vampire Hunter Soldiers.

She, as an elite commander, was also selected for the Expeditionary Army.

“This…”

Old Qu hesitated a bit, looking just like a first crush Boy, uncertain and wavering, only to be teased by his brothers.

Brother Meow couldn’t watch anymore. He stepped forward, giving Old Qu a hard pat on the shoulder, saying loudly:

“What kind of weak posture is this, Major Qu! It’s embarrassing for the People’s Army Warriors! Now, go and talk to Captain Mia in an official capacity. I’ve suddenly realized that our Big Bird Team is severely lacking in long-range firepower. On behalf of the current People’s Army rank of Lieutenant Colonel, I require you to find a task force for our firepower support.

I will formally seek General Maxim’s instructions for the deployment order.

Now go!

Let Captain Mia and her platoon follow us in action; during the mission, she and her team will be under your command!”

“Yes, sir!”

Old Qu realized that this was his buddy’s assist, so he immediately stood at attention, adjusted his clothes, and ran toward the boarding gate, leaving his friend group behind laughing and huddling together.

The incident aboard the Iron Heart Extinction was just a microcosm before the Expeditionary Army’s departure. This assembled elite force would officially embark on the road to support the Ligurian Peninsula’s war this afternoon. Now there were less than four hours left until departure, and the transportation responsibilities were not limited to Transylvania’s three armed airships alone.

Recently, Captain Paula, who had been making a killing in profits in Transylvania, was almost going all out to aid her homeland.

Perfect Shipping Company to date employed all eighteen of their airships to transport the Transylvania elite to the Half-body Man’s main city as fast as possible to relieve the siege.

This formidable transport capacity could send approximately four thousand people along with necessary war supplies in one go, such as the fifteen Dragon Knights currently being guided into the airship hold by Ruyi and Old Flywheel’s apprentices.

Like “Unit-01” Duke of Moritz, these Dragon Knights all had unique codenames of their own.

Besides the first batch of “Iron Warriors,” the second batch of produced War Spirits came from the fearless ones at the Lord’s position, handpicked by Little Mummy for their elite status. The best part is, they used “wetware” cores sourced from their original brains this time.

This made the operation status of the second batch of Dragon Knights far more stable than the first batch, and they could understand more commands, too.

“I really don’t understand how you managed to make these walkers operate autonomously, but I have indeed witnessed their prowess on the battlefield. I have to admit, Transylvania has developed its own set of war engineering. When these big treasures make their debut during the siege, they will absolutely shake the entire Charldo Harbor.”

At the other end of the Crimson Castle’s airship boarding platform, Captain Paula watched the walkers entering the airship hold, rubbing her temples somewhat puzzled, then said to Murphy who was standing beside her:

“But are you really not bringing your majestic Power Armor?”

“Why, do you think I can’t fight without Power Armor?”

Murphy glanced at his shorter companion, shook his head, and said:
