My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2587 -863: The Master of Hunting Has Arrived, The Blue Sky Is Here_2

“Let the old soldier of the Qing dynasty open a gap at the edge of his position.”

Old Qin spoke after a dozen seconds:

“Let a few Jackal army deserters escape, drive them towards the Bloodclaw Clan’s territory, then summon Nash to Wolf Castle, I have some matters to instruct him.”

“This…”

Five Wheels cast a glance at Lord Qin.

As the chief of operations, he knew Lord Qin privately had a backup strategy for the Maginot Line, proposed by Stick Brother, which reportedly involved political considerations for the Transia Government.

Now that Lord Qin had played the Bloodclaw Clan card, it meant he was starting to lay out “B Plan” from now on.

Five Wheels ultimately didn’t inquire but turned away to convey the orders.

In fact, as a soldier rich in theoretical knowledge and combat experience, Five Wheels could roughly guess the content of B Plan from the trajectory of the Maginot Line and the several regions bordering it, even without Lord Qin saying more.

It’s essentially redirecting trouble eastward, guiding the main force of the Jackal army to the Kato area when necessary.

From a strategic standpoint alone, this plan is quite executable, but the premise is the Maginot Line must stop the Jackal army and trap them in a severe strategic stalemate, only in such an impasse, unable to break through, would the Jackal army consider changing its offensive direction.

Given the current situation, achieving this is really quite challenging.

While operations commenced at the command post in Wolf Castle, on the battlefield at the conflict site south of the swamp, Chen Long personally led his guild members in launching a determined counter-charge against the Jackal army.

Veteran players, under the command and leadership of the Zodiac Brothers, stomped through the mudwater, launching attacks on the Jackal army with the support of rear mortar fire, using firepower to force them to scatter before the NPC heavy-armored warriors rushed in to divide and expel them.

Avalon Church’s support had arrived on the flank.

Witch Hunters engaged in close combat while those Druids released by the Golden Flower Kingdom invoked thorny wind sweeping across the battlefield from afar, occasionally dropping lightning spells on some intense zones. This oppressive storm-and-thunder assault made the Gnolls fear to advance, but meant little to the Jackal army.

Driven by the Berserker Skill, these wild beings continued to charge and clash boldly, taking down newbies one batch after another, yet the morale remained unusually vigorous.

Especially those newbies who joined the game in the last half-month, carried a peculiar excitement fearless and fearless, under the collective frantic atmosphere their adrenaline surged, some players participating in such large-scale battles for the first time were even shaking.

It wasn’t fear, but excitement!

Before entering the game, these fellows generally watched the live streaming of the Blackflame Mountain Pass battle and Shadow Valley war on the Tavern APP, eager to partake in this kind of epic war. Now they finally had the chance to show their skills, naturally reluctant to retreat disgracefully.

Amid NPC veterans’ shouts, they mimicked by raising their large shields, defending with primitive but effective long spear formations.

Facing them, the Jackal army roared, and they answered back with a wild howl impossible to roar in reality, each wanting desperately to drink the victory wine and charge at those furry creatures to explode them.

Some even started live streaming on the battlefield, and the most standout among them was naturally the “Transia’s number one influencer” Medical Insurance Wars God Saen.

Saen, always chasing hot spots, liked to be active at the forefront of various exciting events, and now was no exception.

Relying on his high level and decent equipment, he wielded a Hot Melt War Spear and enchanted round shield, wearing a red cloak cosplaying as a Spartan 300 warrior, charging to whichever position was in danger, leading his five-member team in a chaotic fight to rout the Jackal army while falsely garnering rockets from the audience.

Yet, despite the players’ brave performance, some sharp-eyed spectators with battle experience realized the situation was dire.

The bullet-screen continuously suggested deploying a reserve team to stabilize the frontline, because a wave of Jackal army’s vanguard was approaching the newbies’ melee circle under the chaos, once augmented with Berserker Skill, the newbies with their current caliber couldn’t possibly hold them back.

This fragile frontline would swiftly crumble given just a single breach, plunging the entire position into danger.

As the Commander on the front line, Chen Long too spotted this crisis, but he had no reserve team left, his guild had many members but infamously had mixed quality, sustaining losses rapidly under such intense conflict.

And as feared, the dread came true, just in the moment when Saen sealed one breach, a ray of red light finely sprinkled onto the Jackal army warriors on the front lines, enhancing their stance which was already fierce by several degrees with Berserker Skill.

It smashed onto the newbies’ frontline like a warhammer, instantly sending several unfortunate ones flying.

These rookies were on their first deployment, lacking the basic understanding of the brute impact of creatures like the Jackal army.

The fact is, the newbies’ psychological resilience was indeed insufficient, although their first reaction wasn’t fleeing seeing the Jackal army breaking through on a large scale, most directly popped the cork off the victory wine, initiating a wave of self-destruct.
