Arc of Gunfire

July 14, 2230, village Trinka, controlled by the ANT Army.

Wang Zhong came out of the army headquarters and looked at the red in the sky.

Although it was the second year of the time travel, he still felt very novel when he saw the sunset at 10 o'clock in the evening.

He was just sighing when Nellie's voice entered his ears: "Are you done? Do you want to have a midnight snack?"

Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Nellie: "Oh, sure. Didn't you prepare midnight snacks for everyone in the division every day? Why don't you do that now?"

Nellie shrugged: "Because the girls who used to help me prepare midnight snacks are now in Yebao and didn't come with me."

Wang Zhong was shocked: "Did other people help you prepare those things before? I thought you did it all by yourself!"

Nellie looked at Wang Zhong speechlessly: "How is it possible? There are hundreds of people in the division. Preparing midnight snacks for everyone is a big project. It's just that when it was distributed at the end, I pushed the senior officers and staff to eat."

Wang Zhong: "Huh? I always thought that I was eating a loving midnight snack made by Lolita's mother at night!"

At this time, Wang Zhong's mood was just like discovering that Santa Claus was actually his father and that Ultraman Tiga was a child in a suit.

Nellie looked at Wang Zhong: "Don't call me mom. If you want to eat now, I have to make it myself."

Wang Zhong: "Then I want to eat frosted cakes and drink milk."

"No. I can only use our army's rations as ingredients! How about canned Spam, rye bread and vodka?"

Wang Zhong scratched his head. It seems that the field kitchen team's ability to stir-fry sugar color and make braised pork is Seris's specialty. No, there is something more important to confirm.

"Nellie," he asked seriously, "Did you also use our army's rations for midnight snacks last year?"

"Yes." Nellie nodded.

In other words, the variety of food in the supplies is not as rich as last year.

I don't know if the supply situation next year will be worse.

Seeing Wang Zhong looking thoughtful, Nellie said, "A lot of the food supplies are raised locally. This place is poor, so it's like this. If you were in Yarvik, I could get you some frosting, cookies or other delicious food."

Wang Zhong: "Ah? Is that so? Wait a minute, do you know what I'm thinking about?"

Nellie raised her right hand and circled her index finger on her temple twice: "I can think about it, too. If you think about the question you asked and the previous topic, it's easy to understand what you mean."

Wang Zhong: "So, am I overthinking? In fact, our food supply is okay?"

"Yeah. It was really difficult last winter, but it's getting better now."

I see.

Wang Zhong just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Popov leading Su Fang and several unfamiliar aunts into the small courtyard where the headquarters was located.

Su Fang smiled as soon as she saw Wang Zhong.

Nellie looked at her with her eyes drooping.

Popov took the initiative to speak: "This is the senior nun Sufang who just arrived. She-"

"Let me tell you." Sufang stepped forward and saluted Wang Zhong, "Respected Lieutenant General Rokossov, I am here to lead the druids of the Folklore Research Society to help in the battle on the orders of the Patriarch."

Wang Zhong: "What is Druid?"

"Druid." Sufang repeated.

Folklore Research Society and Druid? Wang Zhong carefully looked at the aunts following Sufang. Judging from their age, they are indeed old enough to become "swamp witches" and "forest witches".

As for their looks-the wrinkles on their faces can indeed play evil witches on a CRPG set as long as they put on makeup, especially the kind of witches who live deep in the swamp and eat children.

But the clothes these aunts wear are very modern, suitable for guest appearances as investigators on the Cthulhu set next door.

At this time, the leading auntie spoke up: "No wonder the general looks so confused. I told you long ago that we should put on our clothes before coming here."

Wang Zhong: "Outfits?"

One of the aunties put down the suitcase in her hand, opened it, and showed Wang Zhong the contents.

The box contained a necklace made of dried chicken feet, a worn-out cloak, a voodoo doll, and other things that exuded an evil aura.

Wang Zhong: "If you come here wearing these, I might order the guards to shoot you."

Popov put his hand on Wang Zhong's shoulder: "Relax, these are our researchers, and like the quantum physicists at the Institute of Physics, they are all committed to cracking the truth of the mysterious power."

"Use dried chicken feet to crack it?" Wang Zhong asked back.

At this time, the auntie showing the chicken feet said: "Physicists talk about de Broglie waves and Planck constants, but we don't understand them. But you see, even if we don't do these mysterious things, we can still study the laws of mysterious power."

Another auntie echoed: "The key is a lot of experiments, and then summarize."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, okay, I get it. The church doesn't plan to put all its eggs in the basket of physics, so it has done something else, right? I guess there is also an Institute of Mysticism."

Su Fang: "Yes. There is also a scripture institute, which mainly studies the impact of chanting on mysterious power, changing the pauses and tones of chanting every day. By the way, I read their journal every issue."

Wang Zhong nodded: "I already understand the efforts made by the church in cracking the mysterious power. Now what I want to ask is, why are you here on the front line?"

Auntie Chicken Claw: "Use Druid spells to help you win. We have mastered some Druid spells in a more scientific way. If we use them on the battlefield and win, we can effectively strike the Chongsheng Sect."

Wang Zhong: "I thought the Chongsheng Sect had been destroyed--"

Before he finished speaking, he thought of the Proson who was scared crazy before.

Maybe the Chongsheng Sect still has a market, but they are all hidden.

Wang Zhong: "Okay, I roughly understand what His Majesty the Patriarch means. What can you do? Summon tree people? Or call a flock of crows to cover the sky and prevent the enemy air force from attacking?"

Su Fang laughed: "General, you are so humorous - uh..."

Su Fang stopped and carefully observed Wang Zhong's expression: "Are you not humorous?"

Wang Zhong: "I think that since the divine power can guide rockets to track enemy aircraft, it seems nothing strange to summon tree people."

"Unfortunately, we can't do things that only exist in legends. Don't expect us to summon strange shapes in the forest to attack the enemy." The aunt shook her head, "But if you want a two-hour fog, we can still do it."

Wang Zhong's eyes widened: "Say it again, what can you summon?"

Aunt: "The sacrificial materials we have now can summon a two-hour fog. We have reproduced it three times. The test site is on the grassland at the bend of the Suhayaveli River. The time is from 907 to 909. There are three experiments in total, all in summer. The 'spell' used is also the spell of the local Druid sect."
