My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2586 -863: The Master of Hunting Arrives, and Azure Skies Follow

“What? Those four lousy soldiers of mine took down a Wolf People expansion camp?”

Lord Qin at Wolf Castle was deploying troops to support the conflict that erupted in the southern part of Polluted Swamp, when suddenly he heard from Five Wheels about the “big thing” the “Artist” squad had just accomplished.

This event was so bizarre that Old Qin was stunned for a few seconds. He suspiciously looked at Five Wheels and said:

“If it were done by the Big Bird Team or the Silver Moon Group, I would absolutely believe it. Those elite players have enough skill, power, and experience to accomplish such an astonishing feat. But those four guys? They lack skill and talent.

Whenever they’re asked to do work, they find all kinds of excuses to slack off. They even said they wanted to learn a trick or two from here, but ran off halfway through the learning.

Can they truly manage to raid hundreds of Wolf People with just four of them, doing something so outlandish?”

“They used quite a decent tactic. Of course, the outcome was just to rout, not annihilate, which makes the result of this operation less than perfect. But given the threat of carnivorous plants in Polluted Swamp now, those Wolf People who scattered likely won’t be able to regroup and return alive.

So it’s not exaggerating to say it’s a complete annihilation.”

Five Wheels argued for the Artist squad:

“Besides, those four youngsters aren’t as hopeless as you say. You can’t judge them by our standards. In my opinion, the fact that they’ve trained up to this level in a few months is already quite impressive.

According to Honest Dog Egg’s report, they used fear tactics which were risky but remarkably effective. The coordination with spellcasters using the Spell of Fear quickly broke the morale of the Wolf People.

I think this method could be widely promoted.”

“Hmph, alright then, I’ll reluctantly give them credit for this.”

Old Qin, very nitpicky, took the battle report from Honest Dog Egg, glanced at it, and then handed it over to the domestic 007 beside him for archiving.

He’s been promoting a system of military formalization among the players. Other aspects might still be under construction, but they’ve already aligned the military merit and discipline part with the Cadman People’s Army military law department.

The achievements of players’ battles, big and small, are strictly recorded and archived by staff and reported to the military law department, serving as the basis for Transylvania to issue awards to those who deserve credit.

Although he verbally calls Deep-fried Sweet Potato and others the lousy soldiers, it’s more a verbal reprimand for “his own people.” After all, they’re soldiers he trained, and now they’ve achieved credit, making Lord Qin, this old-fashioned fellow, feel proud, brightening up his mood considerably.

However, as an old soldier, he won’t relax his grip on serious matters due to mood swings, especially given the escalating conflict at hand.

Though the cause was just an accidental event, under the current situation, there’s a high chance it will become the fuse to ignite a full-scale war in Polluted Swamp. All deployed units in Polluted Swamp should start acting immediately.

“The conflict was triggered by the newbie pride of the Unfallen, and Chen Long, being quite loyal, led the entire guild to hold the front line. I’ve already arranged the Rushing River Knights Group as their backup, so the front should be fine.

I know the mixed combat forces of several Witch Hunters and Druids from Avalon Church are moving over there, but them flanking from one side alone is definitely not enough.”

Old Qin looked at the sand table before him and said:

“Huggesen won’t let go of this opportunity for frontal combat!

The Wolf People God’s Chosen is most afraid of us continuing with asymmetric combat. As long as there’s a chance, it will expand the war scale for a breakthrough battle. If the side forces are lacking, Huggesen can easily exploit the gap to encircle us in return.

Therefore, this battle must be quick, not slow.

Find a way to eliminate them before the Wolf People reinforcements arrive!”

“The side force is sufficient, Lord Qin. Besides the Avalon Witch Hunters, there’s also the Winter Wolf Army’s hunter brigade, personally appointed by General Baldwin and temporarily under our command.

These northerners have been fighting the West Sacha Barbarians on the Great Wilderness for years, with extensive experience in combating large creatures. To them, the Wolf People are not a difficult enemy. We’ve armed them with Blood Vulture Claw, increasing firepower with no concern.

They’ve already moved through tunnels further south to block Huggesen’s reinforcements, buying time for our annihilation.”

Five Wheels traced his finger across the sand table, and immediately, staff inserted war flags representing the two powers on the flat surface. On the other side, marked as the conflict core, Five Wheels pointed his finger and said:

“The Old soldier of Qing Dynasty is setting up interception positions on this side, directing the Crimson Hammer Sickle Brigade of the Happy Stick. Five hundred members of the People’s Army and some vengeful Dwarf Priests are here as the main force, with top-tier forces like the Big Bird Team providing support. If the Wolf People can’t break through the front, they’ll face a three-sided encirclement.

Even if they break out, given the current situation in Polluted Swamp, it’s a death trap.

This conflict happened too suddenly, and Huggesen has less than four hours to rescue this vanguard, half of which has already passed. The advantage is now on our side.”

Old Qin looked at the sand table.

He squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin, and swept his gaze from the conflict site to the Northwest, eyeing a small red flag standing conspicuously over there.
