“Report on the ‘Hungry Bird’ operation task!”

At nine o’clock the next morning, the command center of Shadow Valley was bustling, and an old soldier of the Qing Dynasty with the scent of gunpowder came to Old Qin.

The old man looked a bit weary, which was understandable given he hadn’t rested for a day and night.

Although the sleep access program of the gaming helmet was available, mere sleep was still insufficient to relieve the mental stress and fatigue.

Old Qin sat in the chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hands, with his beloved chainsaw sword placed by his feet.

Judging from the dried blood stains on the jagged blade, this old-but-young-at-heart man definitely took time between commands to enjoy a battle outside the valley last night.

Last night’s battle in Shadow Valley was short and fierce.

However, after the unexpected retreat of the divine chosen hunter, the Wolf People didn’t linger long before withdrawing from the preset battlefield, and the defensive forces of Shadow Valley also didn’t pursue them.

Having secured a victory in the initial skirmish, they left some troops to defend the perimeter while retreating the rest back into the valley.

Old Qin managed to take two heads just before the battle concluded, saying that it was good exercise to keep dementia at bay.

“Speak.”

He took a sip of tea, rubbed his temple, and looked towards his assistant.

The old Qing Dynasty soldier opened the Adventure Assistant on his arm, brought up summarized statistics, and said:

“The target supply convoy was destroyed, and the surrounding three Wolf People strongholds were also razed.

Before we departed, we reset the minefield, and last night’s ambush in the trenches was conducted four times, all successful!

However, despite seizing favorable terrain, player losses still exceeded one-sixth.

This proves that the quality of the Wolf People elite this time is stronger than during the Blackflame Mountain Pass engagement.

The primary reason is the involvement of the Blood Scar Clan, which led to a rapid increase in the number of hunting priests enough to affect local battles.

Wolf People with or without Bloodlust Skill are entirely different entities, and these hunting priests not only enhance states, they also perform healing skills, further reducing the effective damage we could inflict.

Of the four battles last night, one saw the Wolf People voluntarily retreating.

To prevent losses, I didn’t order a pursuit but noted that the military skills of the Wolf People are improving.

For now, the scale of these operations is still within the players’ acceptance range, but there were instances of ineffective command.

I think larger-scale operations should not be conducted for now.

The military skills of players need to be cultivated little by little.

They often know what needs to be done but tend to act recklessly.”

“Mhm, it’s already a very good result.”

Old Qin looked towards his other assistant, “Wheel Five,” awaiting his report.

The latter glanced at the data summary on the expert Adventure Assistant and said:

“Another successful assault was conducted last night on the Wolf People camp near the Huma River source, performing better than the other side, likely because his guild regularly practices similar group actions.

However, the assault on the big Wolf camp failed.

To be precise, the command center canceled the operation after weighing options.

Information summaries from the Shadow Intelligence Bureau confirmed that the defense there is more stringent than we imagined, along with the Spiritual Energy monitoring maintained by Jackal Priests, making it difficult to ensure success even with trench warfare tactics.

Canceling the mission made the player teams responsible for the execution very unhappy; they complained on forums that we’re cowards, thinking they could complete the task…

But it’s not worth it!

Players aren’t afraid of dying, but the three-day offline period is a type of loss that must be considered.”

“Let’s not dwell on this, summarize!

Last night’s action was a great success; the Wolf People’s transportation line is temporarily cut off, enough to make them realize our combat style has changed.”

Old Qin nodded, indifferent to last night’s action results, and said:

“The trenches will soon be discovered.

We must let our warriors quickly adapt to this interspersed combat style before the Wolf People begin sweeping, and most importantly, involve NPCs!

We can’t rely solely on players for interception battles; given the scale of Wolf People, players alone aren’t enough to make a ripple.

To disrupt the enemy combat system, we must soon rely on trenches to launch larger-scale, multi-point frequent raids.

Only when the frequency reaches a level that flusters them will we have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

I suggest starting today with NPC and player coordinated actions.

The previously discussed tactics can be implemented now.

Also, link with Fortress of Courage, integrating Shadow Valley, Wasteland Mountain, and Blackflame Mountain Pass with Fortress.”

“You’re too hasty.”

The old Qing Dynasty soldier retorted:

“I can’t even imagine the consequences of players teaching NPCs, better to be cautious.”

“Cautious?

Where’s the time for caution?”

Wheel Five countered:

“Our actions here aren’t to win; they’re to gain time!

Given this objective, cautious passive tactics will only further erode our advantages.

The numerical gap between both sides is too large, and there’s no technological leap in weapons.

To exchange few for many to seize initiative in war, we can only resort to daring raids.

The enemy leader getting injured by our leader is an excellent opportunity in itself.
