My Players Are So Fierce

But the chaos of spiritual energy was immediately detected by the command center in Shadow Valley.

When communication in the area marked A-3 couldn’t be maintained, Old Qin and his staff realized that the Wolf People had discovered the weakness in their command system.

“Damn!

They’re really troublesome!”

Five Wheels, who hadn’t rested properly for several days, rubbed his face hard.

Already overwhelmed, he blinked at the communications points going dark one by one on the three-dimensional projection of the Desolate Mountain War Zone, maintained by spiritual energy.

The speed at which this happened gave him a deeper understanding of the Wolf People.

Even though he’d realized during the week of command operations that these “wild creatures” were far from being stupid NPCs who only followed predetermined programs, their rapid response and swift counterattack were beyond the commander’s expectations.

“I’ve probably read the war history of this continent.

Is this the first time the Wolf People are facing large-scale pit warfare?

The military reforms in the Goldenrod Kingdom only started 30 years ago; before that, no one would invest things like the Calculating Pearl on such a large scale to form a complete communication command system.”

The native 007 also found it incredible.

The young reserve staff officer exclaimed:

“They grasped the ‘full-spectrum blockage interference’ tactic to strike the command system in just seven days without a teacher?

Are they still barbarians?”

“I told you not to underestimate any enemy in this world; this is a real battlefield, ever-changing, and no perfect plan can respond to all scenarios.

The Wolf People have also upgraded their tactics against our characteristics.

Luckily, we predicted this.”

Old Qin shook his head and ordered his staff:

“Allocate special personnel to log into the forum immediately and create a command post.

Each team on a mission should report their status every hour.

Five Wheels, put your mobile number in the command post.

If there’s an emergency, have them call your phone directly.”

“Huh?”

Five Wheels pouted and said:

“I’ll provide a landline number.

A mobile number is personal and private, hard to protect once leaked.

Also, my rank has confidentiality rules.

Lord Qin, please don’t make it hard for me.”

“Fine, but arrange for someone to be on duty.”

Old Qin emphasized:

“There should be a 24-hour wartime-like response.

Since the Wolf People have disrupted the command system of the Calculating Pearl, they won’t stop at that.

A comprehensive sweep of the tunnels is inevitable.

Have the brothers ready!

Retreat to the valleys or the Fortress of Courage if necessary.

Meanwhile, mobilize General Maxim and his Elite People’s Army, the Half-elf Rangers of Shadow Valley, and the Earth Priests to enter the tunnels.

Use the large convergence points of the tunnels as temporary positions to block the Wolf People’s advance from underground.

We must keep control of tunnel command in our hands, or the battle cannot be fought.

It’s only the seventh day of the blockade battle, brothers, the military order has been established, and we must grit our teeth and hold on!”

“But fighting them in the tunnels, doesn’t that lose the advantage of flexible maneuvering?”

Five Wheels shook his head and said:

“I think it’s better like this.

Since this area is exposed, let the NPC regular army handle the defense, and move the more flexible, fearless players to the Baphomet Canyon area to assist the Nords in attacking the Blood Scar Clan’s vanguard.

If they can play battlefield division, so can we!

I refuse to believe it; I can’t take on their vanguard if I can’t handle their main force?”

“Agreed!”

Old Qin thought for a moment and nodded:

“But we can’t withdraw the elite team at Blackflame Mountain Pass.

The Wolf People entered the tunnels to help regain the transport line, and the effect of cutting off their supplies has already shown.

We must continue to blockade.

Your performance these seven days has been excellent, proving you completely capable of commanding such a regional operation.

I won’t be staying with you.

I have to go to Baphomet Canyon to conduct frontline command operations.

I’m leaving this side to you.

Do well, young people!

Although I don’t have military medals to give you, once this is over, I can certainly provide a good set of equipment for you.”

—————–

“Damn, the communication network of the Calculating Pearl has been breached by the ‘Jackal Person Spirit Energy Virus’ again.

This thing works well enough usually, but why does it always fail at critical moments?”

In the Blackflame Mountain Pass area, Brother Meow, who had been scurrying through the tunnels for a week, pounded on his arm’s expert-level adventure assistant.

Most of its functions still worked, except the communication module was completely down, constantly indicating “located in a complex spiritual energy area” no matter how many times it rebooted.

Infuriated, he felt like smashing the precious 3,000-gold piece on the ground and stomping on it.

“The Wolf People aren’t fools; they know we rely on this for precision operations, so of course they’ve got to take out your critical point.”

Old Qu, however, wasn’t bothered.

He was repairing his large gun at the moment.

Over the past seven days, he had ambushed seven Silver Jackal People with that gun, successfully killing two, adding new glory to his sniper career.

The three hunter NPCs assigned to him were entirely in awe of “Teacher Qu’s” unorthodox hunting artistry.

“You guys wait here for a bit.

I’m going out with some people to scout the area.”
