My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2904 -968: Weren’t Postscript Stories Supposed to Be Lighthearted and Fun? Are You Really Serious About This Combat Intensity? (2)

Alright!

Then prepare to grow old alone.

The captain himself is not a very expressive person by nature. Seeing Old Qu being so taciturn, there was nothing she could do. She spread her wings and swiftly flew into the night.

Brother Qu felt that he had maintained his macho demeanor in front of Mia. But after he jumped, seeing those human soldiers being flown by vampires in the air, he realized too late that Mia was trying to proactively fly with him just now…

Damn!

At that moment, Old Qu wished he could slap his own face.

Trying to show off!

Showing off for what, damn it!

What a great opportunity, wasted just like that.

However, being of silver-tier quality, Brother Qu calmed down quickly. In the air, he opened the flying backpack of the Swift Hawk exoskeleton, allowing himself to hover and look up at the Flash Gold Airship sliding towards the distance in the night sky.

Although it was still descending, the falling trajectory of the airship was much better than before.

It seems that the half-body man captain had already controlled the situation and was heading towards the nearby Delir Lake for a forced landing. The airship contained three Dragon knights, and if the forced landing was successful, they could activate those war machines.

With them breaking through at the front, his team could attack or retreat, ensuring they remain invincible.

But soon, while flying towards the ground, Old Qu discovered something wrong. His supernatural perception as a Silver Hunter made him keenly aware that the landing area near where they were falling had already seen activity by the Jackals, or rather, that they were unlucky enough to jump into an area that the Jackals had already occupied.

Brother Qu wasn’t worried about the combat skills of the People’s Army Hunters; these guys were the elites of elites and would have ways to take care of themselves.

But the newbies were another matter.

Those who just passed the Black Iron trial were not opponents of the Dark Mountain Jackals in a one-on-one situation. If they were left isolated and unsupported, it would inevitably lead to a massacre.

Thinking of this, Brother Qu didn’t hurry to land. Instead, he drew out his custom-made Cannibal Demon’s Hammer in mid-air, which had a folding stock allowing Old Qu to hold it with both hands. He adjusted his flight path to enter a high-altitude shooting position, and began hunting while maintaining steady advancement.

“Bang!”

The deep sound of a gunshot rose in the air, piercing through a Jackal on the ground from almost a kilometer away, signifying Brother Qu’s first hunt in this emergency moment.

The gunshot was also noticed by Captain Mia, who had already landed, and she jerked her head up. Recognizing the source of the gunshot, she immediately entered combat mode, heading towards Brother Qu’s direction while drawing a signal gun and firing a red flare ahead. This signaled the surrounding hunters about the danger and guided them in the direction to converge.

This flare was also spotted by the players.

“Quick! Get me down from the tree!”

Xugou, whose luck was so poor that he got stuck on a tree with his parachute, struggled in the air and shouted to Duke Maotu below, who already had her hunting bow out. Without even looking up, she cursed:

“Cut the rope yourself and jump down, I’m about to start my silver trial. No time to deal with you, you useless man.”

“Damn, when we were snuggling last night you didn’t say that, heartless woman.”

Xugou muttered softly, pulling a combat knife made of wolf teeth from his boot to cut the parachute cord.

As he landed, he skillfully flipped to dissipate the force and whistled to summon his war beast. With a flash of runes from a war pet specially crafted by the Avalon Church, a ferocious Elite Swamp Tiger clad in armor gracefully emerged from the green light.

Xugou was a Beast King route hunter, and he also had a Stormhorn Sculpture as a reconnaissance pet, which he released when he landed. His wife was a Ranger, and her posture, equipped with a battle bow and blade, suggested she could engage from either close or far.

This couple’s combination was quite interesting.

“Brother Gou, Sister Rabbit! Are you nearby? I’m being attacked by Jackals here, hurry and help! The newbies are not opponents, and the brothers and I are barely holding on.”

Quickly, the guild elite with the ID “Hit You with a Big Stick” provided the coordinates in communication, and the Dog-Rabbit duo promptly rushed over. When they arrived, they saw a group of newbies, under the cover of a dozen hunters, fiercely fighting with two to three dozen Jackals and their Gnoll Servants.

The messenger, “Big Stick,” was the most dazzling figure in the crowd.

Not only because he wielded a Barbarian riding lance astride a tall Shadow Mane War Horse, charging back and forth within the Jackal Man formation, but also because he wore a hunting helmet, distinctly in the style of the Jackals.

This helmet alone, from its appearance, wasn’t ordinary. It seemed to have some aura effect, intimidating Jackals wherever Big Stick went, and causing Gnolls to scream and flee at the sight of it.

The story behind this helmet was indeed spectacular!

This helmet belonged to the now-defeated hunting chosen Huggesen, and was a top-tier trophy captured by Big Stick at the cost of his own life during his first battle as a newbie. It’s also an achievement that “the fierce general” Big Stick could boast about for a lifetime.

A few minutes after Xugou and Duke Maotu joined the battle, they understood why even with the numerical advantage, the newbies and NPCs were struggling so hard.
