My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2580 -861: Hey, Interdimensional Communication Tech! Kid!

Just as Huggesen suspected, after the Jackal Priests conducted the hunting sacrifice, their brutal deity generously bestowed the blessing of the hunt.

For a deity that has not yet awakened, such a large-scale blessing of divine power is indeed rare, which also proves that Bonebite Clan’s siege and conquest on the Ligurian Peninsula truly provided the Master of Hunting with more divine power to squander.

As for the hunting blessing it bestowed, it was quite formidable, allowing the already swift hunters to move silently and granting them a nearly permanent “danger vision.” Now these jackal people can use their naked eyes to identify dangerous objects within their field of vision.

This ability doesn’t sound particularly strong, but in the current swamp terrain, having such eyesight undoubtedly greatly enhances the survival rate of the Jackal-man Vanguard.

Now, as long as the hunters don’t engage in combat while moving through the Polluted Swamp, there will be no breath leakage, making it difficult for the dangerous plants to notice them. Combined with using a lot of gnolls as cannon fodder to clear minefields, a section was efficiently cleared just by the dawn of the day the ritual was completed.

After all, no matter how dangerous the plants are, they cannot evolve a brain larger than that of a gnoll. Their danger mainly stems from unknown stealth attacks, which can be countered by the jackal people with many methods if discovered beforehand.

Huggesen was very satisfied with such empowerment. The only regret is that currently, only the Jackal Wolfman Hunters could receive this blessing. Barbarians and priests still need to be cautious when moving in the swamp.

In the areas inhabited by the jackal people, dangerous plants were uprooted, and fierce beasts were caught to serve as meat for their pots. The jackal people began using this progressive method to build forward camps on the other side of the swamp. Everything seemed to be on the right track, but the bad news is that the plants here grow extremely quickly. Within a few hours, the burned area sprouted new buds.

In other words, if the jackal people cannot advance quickly, the originally safe area will once again become a nightmare for those being hunted.

Yet, since they’ve found a way, the jackal people’s war machine moved again.

Upon realizing that the Transia people intended to replicate the strategy used at Wasteland Mountain, even without needing General Huggesen to issue orders, the Hunting Priests began actively disrupting the Spiritual Energy in the Polluted Swamp to sabotage the communication and command system of the Transia people that used the Spirit Energy Pearl. Previous wars have already proven the necessity of disrupting command.

Although this method was not very effective for those strange Undying Spirits, losing command easily puts the local Transia army in a passive position.

It was expected that players and scouts wandering through various parts of the swamp found their Communication Pearls once again failing, causing those People’s Army Warriors to curse that the devices made by the Half-body Man were unreliable, but in reality, this couldn’t be blamed on the Half-body Man.

The Calculating Pearl was not designed as a tool for slaughter, and Half-body Men did not intend to use it for warfare. Naturally, they would not have put effort into upgrading for interference resistance. The communication function itself is based on free Spiritual Energy factors in the world. In a chaotic Spiritual Energy environment, failure cannot be called a “design flaw,” but rather a “product feature.”

“Hey, it’s time for our cool otherworldly technology to shine. I declare that the days when jackal people can cut off the Transia communication system with a random spell are gone.”

In a marsh near the eastern edge of the Polluted Swamp, Deep-fried Sweet Potato received a new task, talking sarcastically while trekking through the mud with his three dorm brothers.

They formed a standard cover formation, with Deep-fried Sweet Potato heavily armed as the forward, Tofu and Tomato Sauce on either side for vigilance, while Cucumber Strip advanced in the middle. On his back was something that often appeared in World War II themed war movies—a rectangular metal box the size of a school bag strapped to Cucumber Strip’s back with a harness.

Its overall design is very simple, but it has several knobs on top, a fixable earpiece, and a short antenna that swayed with their march.

An old-fashioned field radio.

A military device using a radio to communicate over long distances, an “invention” from Meng HaHa of the Silver Moon Group, incorporating many “local engineering technologies” for localization improvements. In fact, its shape didn’t have to be so “retro,” but under strong insistence from a group of veterans led by Stick Brother and Old Qin, Meng Ha finally had to compromise to its current form, even adding military green paint to ensure a “100% restoration.”

“We’re one kilometer from the designated communication test location, brothers, let’s pick up the pace.”

Deep-fried Sweet Potato glanced at the map and turned to shout to his three brothers:

“Old Qin instructed that we must quickly finish testing this device’s encrypted communication under strong interference. We need to use it to call the command post of Maginot Line at a maximum distance of eighteen kilometers. Honestly, I can’t understand how Sister Meng Ha managed to knock this thing together with a wrench in an otherworldly setting?

Although I’m not a science major, I do know this thing requires a vacuum tube, right?
