My Players Are So Fierce

“The Silver Dwarfs will help us.”

Old Qin shook his head and said:

“Before I came, I went to visit the Supreme Lord of the Silver Dwarfs.

That tiny Old Dwarf is repenting for the loss of Mother Gaia’s sacred land.

After hearing about our idea, he agreed to mobilize a large number of Earth Priests to assist us.

Moreover, he emphasized that if it’s merely creating an underground tunnel network without involving the reinforcement of the earth ceremony and fortification creation, then the Earth Priests can complete such a plan within twenty days.

Furthermore, I’m not demanding that all tunnels be completed at once.

We can do it in phases, first completing the tunnel network near Shadow Valley to give the Werewolves a hard lesson.

Later on, you all can build it slowly, but I have a few hard requirements.

First, you need to figure out how to design the planned tunnels with enough hidden stations for soldiers and safe nodes for players to log off.

Once this strategy is underway, we’ll be operating underground on a large scale for a long time, so stealth is a crucial criterion.

Second, ensure there’s room for tunnel combat.

Once the Werewolves discover we’re hiding underground, they’ll definitely send a huge number of Gnolls to fight us in the tunnels.

In that terrain, their numerical advantage will be neutralized, but it also means we’ll need to engage in high-frequency battles.

Therefore, a more complex, three-dimensional structure is best.

Lastly, link the exit of this tunnel to the Baphomet Underground Palace.

If the front line falls, we can retreat into that natural Great Labyrinth to continue the fight.

Lord Morphy has prearranged for an NPC to help us explore the upper structure of the Baphomet Underground Palace, but the Werewolves cannot quickly grasp its intricacies.

The best-case scenario is to let them develop enmity with the Baphomet Heretics hidden within.”

“Sounds very complex.”

Old Chen shook his head and said:

“There’s basically no real-life sample to refer to…”

“There is!”

Old Qin showed a subtle smile and softly said:

“Give me your contact information, and I’ll send you some blueprints of large-scale combat tunnel structures that actually exist and are still in use.

Just modify them accordingly.

It’s only because professionals are needed for this matter that I’m able to provide such information, which is not allowed according to regulations.

Just look at it yourself, and don’t spread it around.”

Old Qin’s strange smile made Old Chen’s heart skip a beat.

He coughed and added:

“Even if the tunnel can be designed and the Dwarfs can complete the excavation on time, this distributed multi-point battle command is a big issue.

I think, with the players’ current combat skills, they might not be able to handle it.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.

I’ll bring in some professionals in this area, and I’ve already secured the spots.

Moreover, I always thought the Calculating Pearl is a very magical thing from another world.

After necessary modifications, it can form a rather convenient node-based command system.”

Old Qin toyed with an expert-level Adventure Assistant fixed on his arm and said:

“You know, I’ve always tried to teach players proper combat techniques, but with little success.

After so many battles, I realized that what’s most suitable for them is actually guerrilla warfare, which is the best stage for personal heroism to shine.

Within a collective framework, I’m confident they can always pull out tricks…

cough, I mean surprises, to accomplish some incredible tasks.

In short, I’ll leave the tunnel design to you.

The stakes are high, and we have limited time—will three days be enough?”

“If the information you provide is impressive, three days will definitely be enough.

After all, it’s only a matter of modifying the terrain, not starting from scratch.”

Old Chen pondered for a moment and said:

“I can gather my students and treat it as a large-scale graduation project.

It shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“Great, let’s leave it at that, and I’ll wait for your good news.”

After saying this, Old Qin stood up to take his leave.

After he left, Professor Chen logged off and waited for about ten minutes.

Soon, he received friend requests and additional documents in his inbox.

Upon decompressing the files and seeing the confidentiality level of the documents, Old Chen felt a slight chill run down his spine.

What a bold move.

They’re handing out top-secret-level documents so casually?

They really aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.

Though I’d heard of such things before, I couldn’t believe there are real, massive underground tunnel networks covering entire areas and still in use in this world!

Well, today was truly an eye-opener.

—————–

After assigning tasks to Happy Stick and the other commanders, Lord Qin logged off in Shadow Valley.

At the moment he removed his helmet, he stretched his body and then pushed his wheelchair out of the study to chat briefly with his spouse, who was listening to opera.

As expected, he was chastised for being nearly seventy or eighty years old and still so obsessed with online gaming.

Old Qin couldn’t explain how thrilling and intense the other side was, so he just grumpily complained about the day’s meal before retreating to the balcony to light a cigarette.

He then pulled out his phone, scrolled through the contacts, and dialed a number.

“Hey, Lord Qin, what brings you to call me, the busy man that you are?”

The response was a rather hearty voice.

It sounded like a middle-aged man, likely a junior to Lord Qin in the military’s hierarchy where rank and seniority are heavily emphasized.

In their own jargon, he was one of the soldiers trained by Old Qin.

Conversations among such “insiders” were naturally more candid, so Lord Qin spoke forthrightly, making bold requests:
