My players are so fierce

Chapter 1395 1392. Mosna is a foundry general just for fun. It really depends on us halflings who make things!

The Maginot Line fought from afternoon to night. After the high-intensity battles came to an end, there were endless low-intensity trials. This continued intermittently until midnight, when the battlefield became quiet.

It's not that the bugs are scared, it's just that all the cannon fodder they used for this stage of the attack has been used up.

But did the Transian defenders win?

Not really.

"Tactical victory cannot cover up strategic passivity!"

In a bunker on the front line of the Maginot Line, Master Qin threw a report from the Church of Avalon on the table and said:

"Insect Hive No. 1 in the Filthy Swamp has not stopped expanding at all while the frontline battle is going on! According to the Witch Hunter's adventurous reconnaissance, as of an hour ago, the area of ​​the insect nest has expanded to the size of a town. What's more important is that the ghost The local area also connected underground to the tunnel system left behind when we fought against the black disaster.

Armed kobolds under Ambassador Nash conducted a wave of reconnaissance of the tunnels, and the results were disappointing.

From the casualties of the kobolds, we can basically conclude that while the cannon fodder of the insect swarm was eliminated, they had already started the second round of explosions! No longer cannon fodder bugs, but more soldier bugs, more flying bugs and more elite bugs!

Calculated based on the current size of the insect nest, when the explosion is completed, the impact the Maginot Line will suffer will be at least three times that of this battle. "

“But it’s not beyond the limit of what can be handled.”

Maxim shook his head and said:

"With the entry of Cadman City's soldiers and the continuous addition of foreigners, stabilizing the defense line will not be a problem. The more troublesome part is that flying insects can ignore the penetration of the ground defense line.

Everyone, just in the afternoon, a flying insect bypassed the defense line and attacked Stromgarde. Fortunately, Knight Liwen was there at the time. She transformed into a real dragon and defeated the flying insect with the assistance of the Holy Light Cultists, but this already represents A dangerous sign.

That is to say, in front of the insect swarm, there is no distinction between the front line and the rear.

We cannot be beaten passively.

The source of disaster must be eradicated before the insect nest launches a more ferocious attack. "

"That's what I'm saying."

Master Qin added:

“The nature priests and druids of the Church of Avalon are dissecting bugs, but what is certain is that these bugs have the troublesome characteristic of ‘rapid evolution’.

When the fight started in the afternoon, the bugs died as soon as they were burned by the flames. As a result, when the troops were withdrawn at midnight, the "Insect Swarm Resistant Burning King" had appeared. Soldiers needed to hold gold flamethrowers to get close to burn them before they could be completely killed. If this continues, I I'm afraid that strange 'bullet-resistant' bugs will appear soon.

That trouble must be solved before they evolve to the point where they are unmanageable. I will personally lead a team and the most elite warriors among the foreigners to launch a devastating attack on the insect nest. We will use airborne tactics to deal with them with thunder. "

"We have a solar boat."

As soon as a colonel of the People's Army opened his mouth, he was glared at by Master Qin and Maxim at the same time. The monster general slapped the table and scolded:

"It's just a fringe insect nest and we need to use the solar ship? Then when we encounter the main insect nest in the dark mountains, do we need to ask Mr. Murphy to use the God's Scepter?

Damn it!

Where is your courage?

Did Midnight give us powers just to make us super-powered cowards? "

"Yes, everyone, I wish to remind you of a very important point."

Lao Qin pointed to the topographic map of the dark mountains behind him, which was marked with at least seven red X's. He said:

"Currently summarizing the situation in areas such as Fort Courage, Shadow Valley, Broken Tooth Highlands, and Plains of Creation, we can determine that the insect swarm has formed seven fringe insect nests in the Dark Mountain area. This is also the life in this area. After being converted into the biomass needed by the insect swarm, it can be fed to the limit.

Hive No. 1 in the Foul Swamp is one of them.

This is good news, proving that not even a swarm of insects can create something out of nothing!

Their reproduction is based on the need for living matter, which means that even if they take away the corpse and reuse the biomass, there is still a limit to the number of soldiers they can explode.

Archon Mirian and Wise Wolf have had urgent discussions and have made a decision. Nests 1, 2 and 3 are the troubles we need to solve, and the Jackal allies will be responsible for dealing with the remaining four nests.

This is just the first wave of tentative attacks by Hive Zero. They are not serious at all. If we still use a strategic weapon like the solar ship in this case, the swarm will only notice our weakness. Once They realize that we are not as difficult to deal with as they thought, and then the disaster that awaits the Old World is destruction.

For this reason, the only way to deter the 'Insect Hive Zero' that is suspected to have originated in the gray desert area is to deal with these fringe insect nests as quickly as possible and force them to proceed with caution in the next battle.

In other words, time is the only deciding factor.

Be quick!

The sooner the better. "

"But General Qin, you have never talked about Transia and the areas outside the Jackal Kingdom."

Chasseur Mia, who has been promoted to major, said:

“General Maxim confirmed that flying insects can carry out long-range attacks regardless of terrain, so we have every reason to guess that besides our area, other fringe insect nests may have appeared in other parts of the Old Continent.

Should we"

"in spite of!"

Maxim shook his head and said:

"At least at this stage, there is no need to worry about it. If the soldiers in each area can't even deal with the edge of the hive, then they can only drag their feet in the subsequent tragic battles."

"But if other places fall, we may be attacked from both sides!"

Mia retorted:

"Even for our own safety, we should remind other forces to pay attention to this matter."

"The Archon warned the ambassadors of various countries as soon as the hive appeared. As for how they will deal with it, it is not something we need to care about."

Maxim said:

"As for being attacked from both sides, it is nonsense. The Hades Army under Master Murphy has been distributed all over the Old Continent. When the crisis of life and death is in a cycle, the Hades Army will be dispatched.

Of course, if it really comes to that situation, the Hades Army will not have to deal with it. It's just a swarm of insects!

In short, let's focus on the current situation.

To carry out the next operation according to General Qin's plan, the Maginot Line needs to be alert to deal with the second wave of attack from the No. 1 insect nest. General Qin will lead the team to the insect nest to carry out a destructive attack.

Then we will drive straight in, follow the route of the Black Disaster to the Shadow Valley to deal with the No. 2 and No. 3 insect nests, and finally join the army of the Werewolf Kingdom to carry out the final defense operation on their land.

As for the warriors of other kingdoms and forces. They can come or not.

But from a humanitarian perspective, I hope they can arrive on time. "

——

While the generals were discussing strategies, in the rest area of ​​the Maginot Line, a group of players who had just "warmed up" with the insects were gathering together, pointing fingers at something that was being unloaded from a truck.

The thing was covered with a protective cloth. After it was unloaded, the red-faced Little Potato stepped forward and lifted the cloth, revealing the true appearance of the "treasure" inside.

It was a mechanical body.

The overall height is about four meters, and five meters including the mounted armor. Its main frame can be seen as an immature imitation of the power armor system, but it is far less technological than the power armor. On the contrary, it looks a bit bloated.

Probably because a circle of heavy steel outer armor is formed by very roughly "piling materials" outside its main frame.

Its lower body is a very classic bipedal structure in halfling engineering. The wide soles provide sufficient stability and grip, and the built-in computing orb-type gyroscope represents the advanced level of halfling steam engineering.

The previously exposed cockpit was encapsulated, and a crew cabin was set up in this huge and bloated steel machine belly.

It's still a fucking two-person cockpit!

In other words, this heavy thing requires two players to operate together.

Its upper body is shaped with rough but durable mechanical joints, and heavy weapon backpacks are carried on the shoulders and back. Its left hand is fixed with a five-barreled gold grenade launcher, and its right hand is fixed with a metal spike shield. The third flexible mechanical arm extending from the back is made into a brutal chain saw demolition structure.

In this way, this mecha that looks full of steampunk style has the characteristics of long-range, close combat and defense at the same time.

"Fuck! Although I don't know what this thing is, it looks really cool!"

The crazy giant shark holding a battle axe sneered at all external forces, and believed that his well-trained body was the way to win, but after seeing such a brutal mechanical creation, he also liked it.

Then he leaned over to Xiao Weiming and said:

"So, where did you get this weird thing?"

"You are not allowed to call my 'Big Bear No. 1' weird!"

Xiao Weiming stood in front of the "Big Bear" and scolded:

"This is the 'war armor' that I spent a lot of money to order from the Mechanic Church! The mechanical weapons they made in Shardo Port before were too lame, but the modified 'Heavy Bear' still won my heart.

When I realized that I couldn't learn to operate a real power armor, I knew I had to use other methods to realize my mecha dream.

Now!

Today is the first battle of my Iron Bear!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiming took out a device like a car key and pressed it backwards under the gaze of a group of people.

With a very classic beeping sound, the outer armor on the chest of this round Heavy Bear bounced outwards with the support of the mechanical structure, revealing the slightly cramped operating cabin with many mechanical rods and rollers inside.

The small seat was obviously made for Ashina. She whistled and flew over to sit on it. She fastened her seat belt and inserted the start key into the console. She pulled the power lever down hard like driving a tractor.

With a bang, after the cockpit closed, the stopped steel bear stood up in the black smoke from the four exhaust pipes behind it.

You know what, although this thing was made by the crazy halfling of the Mechanicus, and its appearance is not at all exquisite and simple, when it is started, the operation of each module of its main frame really has a kind of "heavy industrial style" beauty.

Especially when Ashina cheered and pushed the joystick forward, letting this thing weighing nearly ten tons take steps forward, the smell of the steel giant came up.

"Lumina! Come on! I'm responsible for controlling the direction, and you operate the weapon system!"

Xiao Ashina drove his giant steel bear in a circle and it was not enough. He called his good partner through the loudspeaker. After Lumina approached, the cockpit of the upper half of the body also popped open. This thing's There is no joystick on the console, but it is covered with buttons and scroll wheels for the weapon system.

Lumina complained that the cockpit was too narrow while getting in. A few minutes later, under the joint control of the two, the giant steel bear used the boulder in front as a target and activated the grenade launcher in his hand while moving forward quickly. He fired forward continuously, then approached the target in flames and swung the chain saw to smash the boulder.

The destructive power of this thing is comparable to that of genuine power armor. The only drawback is that the flexibility and maneuverability of this thing are simply a piece of shit.

Its outer armor looks thick, but it only uses ordinary halfling alloy. Even if it is piled up like crazy, it is probably not comparable to genuine power armor.

However, when the shortcomings are so obvious, the advantages are also absolutely outstanding.

In fact, not only Ashina, but most players are unable to quickly master the professional level required to control power armor through learning. Just a resonance fine-tuning of the mental power frame is enough to defeat a large group of guys who are not sharp enough.

In this case, Xiaowei Ming found a different way to get everyone a downgraded version of the power armor.

If even little Ashina can learn to control it, then it shouldn't be a big problem for others to control such a "big toy". More importantly, which player doesn't like the feeling of running over a heavy tank?

Therefore, the only problem is the cost.

After all, even when playing games, class issues still exist. Not every player can spend a large amount of money casually like Ashina.

But after Brother Mingmiao went to inquire about the price, he found that the cost of this thing was not as high as he thought.

"Look at the spout and the rough cutting marks. This thing has no technical content at all, right?"

As the driver who drove the steel bear, Wu Nijiang commented very disdainfully:

“This thing is just a pile of materials!

Use the stupidest method to pile up the power, destructive power and defense power to achieve a huge impact, and finally ensure that it has a certain degree of mobility and it will be alive.

Its operation method is also completely based on the logic of the halflings, and the control sensitivity is ensured through the integration of calculation orbs. This is an old technology of the halflings.

Not new, but absolutely reliable.

The only black technology is the power system of this thing.

I heard that the engine oil guys from the Church of the Mechanicus got the inspiration from observing our aero engines and tank engines. They used fuel oil to drive an improved diesel engine, and added some strange mediators to make the oil The burning rate has reached a breakthrough, which can ensure the abundant power of this big guy.

Therefore, more than half of the money you spend is on this engine. However, the oil guys under Lao Feilun only care about the improvement and dissemination of technology. They don't really want to make money, so they can give such a low price. "

Although Wu Nijiang is unreliable, he is a genuine engineer. He said so. The other players were relieved and began to inquire about the production capacity of the halflings. As a result, they got a surprising answer.

"If you place an order in the morning, it can be made in two days at most."

Wu Nijiang, who was smoking a cigarette, said casually:

"The engine assembly in our vehicle factory is all on the assembly line. Working with the engine oil guys from the Mechanicus Church, it is very simple to build this thing. It just so happens that the Port of Chardeau and the Songhai Empire are undergoing capacity upgrades.

They got the original formula of the origin alloy, so the price of the previous special alloy has plummeted.

It's a good time to catch up!

The smelters over there are selling off their alloy stocks at super low prices, so if you order a lot now, you might be able to get a discount.

I heard that the student party has already received their big toy, and now the engine oil guys can start working on the second batch at any time, and they can also customize the appearance.

In addition to this classic steel bear, there are also speed-specialized hunting wolves and balanced jaguars. Of course, the name is good, but in fact, don’t expect the appearance to be very attractive.

Let me tell the truth, the reason why this thing is allowed to be produced is purely to fill the problem of insufficient power armor and high difficulty of operation. The upper management intends to use this heavy armor as a mechanical subsidiary unit of the dragoon.

At best it's called technical verification, at worst it's steel cannon fodder.

Maybe in a few years, this kind of technology will be transferred from the military to civilians. When the technology is decentralized, the cost of making this thing will be even lower. So, why don't you guys come up with a few sets?

You see we have lowered the prices.”

"Huh? Why are you so enthusiastic about promoting it? Do you have a stake in it?"

"Ahem, don't tell the truth when you see it. Brother, they have said that the oil guys don't care about money, but we do. This project was jointly developed by Dongfeng Vehicle and the Mechanical Church to satisfy the big bosses in the factory to reminisce about their youth and be unrestrained. It’s just a design idea.

To be honest, it's just a small profit. "

Wu Nijiang smiled very treacherously, like a fox who had stolen the chicken. He looked at the dark night of the Maginot Line and curled his lips and said:

"If you guys don't like this, I still have a project here, about the armored train that I have been thinking about for a long time. Oh! Don't leave! Listen to my plan and invest some money, you can make a lot of money! Believe me !”
