Real Cthulhu Running Game

In the island country, the iron fan is also called the military fan. Because it is usually held by the top general of an army, its symbolic significance is far greater than its actual function. After all, a round iron fan is used for Even the fan is too tiring.

The most glorious moment for the iron fan in the island country was a battle between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. At that time, Uesugi Kenshin had already rushed into Takeda Shingen's camp single-handedly, preparing to directly kill the old opponent in front of him, but he The fatal blow was actually blocked by the iron fan in Takeda Shingen's hand. Otherwise, Uesugi Kenshin could have copied the Battle of Okehazama and made the Takeda family disappear from history earlier.

Therefore, after that, many generals sitting in the rear liked to carry an iron round fan, which could not only increase their momentum when giving orders, but also have a handy weapon when encountering an attack.

It is said that when Sanada Yukimura attacked Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu tried to use the iron fan in his hand to block the shot that might hit him.

Therefore, at this time, Shimazu Nakano, who was holding an iron Uchiwa fan, made Liu Xing have some special thoughts.

Judging from the current situation, the clone of Nyarlathotep who is still standing behind the scenes wants to watch a historical reenactment while selecting suitable subordinates, so he selected those historical figures as "generals" , and modern people have become "soldiers", so it stands to reason that a certain famous historical figure should be the "general" commanding the overall situation.

Although Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen both lost the opportunity to lead the samurai faction because of the betrayal of their descendants, people like Motonari Mori, Iehisa Shimazu and others are still qualified to stand up and become the commander-in-chief of this final battle. .

But they were all on the front line now, and Shimazu Nakano took out an iron fan that symbolized command authority, which made Liu Xing couldn't help but take a few more glances. . . Could it be that Shimazu Nakano has been "appointed" by the clone of Nyarlathotep?

However, there is nothing special about Shimazu Nakano in Liu Xing's opinion. In other words, Shimazu Nakano may be a qualified family leader, but his personal strength is average, and he may not even be able to defeat him in terms of force value alone. Own.

Does Shimadzu Nakano have any other trump cards?

Liu Xing shook his head, thinking that he should stop thinking about things that he couldn't figure out. Maybe he thought too much?

"Attention all Musketeers, I need all of you to gather and move, and outflank the enemy's flank as soon as possible to attack!"

At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly felt a voice ringing in his head, a bit like KP Broken Bridge talking.

Of course, Liu Xing soon realized that the owner of this voice was Shimazu Nakano.

What's happening here?

Liu Xing looked around and found that the members of the Wu family faction holding muskets had the same confused looks as himself, while those using crossbows had normal expressions and were still firing.

Obviously, Shimazu Nakano is like the guild leader in some games, and can send corresponding announcements to designated members.

This is indeed the case.

"I am Shimazu Nakano, and I am currently using a military-issued fan that can talk to designated personnel, so even those who just saw the disobedient monkey can hear my words without being restricted by distance, so now Please follow my instructions and act!"

Shimazu Nakano paused and continued: "Those who use single-shot muskets will be separated to act alone for the time being, because your weapons are not suitable for action with muskets, so I need you to go to the rear now to find some suitable melee weapons to arm them." All our ranged forces."

After finishing the detachment, Liu Xing discovered that there were not many people using single-shot muskets on this battlefield, only about one-tenth of the number of musketeers.

As a result, before Liu Xing and others returned to the camp in the rear, they saw the civilian and logistical staff who had stayed behind rushing over, holding various things in their hands, as if they were moving collectively.

What's going on?

Shimazu Nakano also looked puzzled, so he quickly stepped forward and asked what happened.

Less than half a minute later, Shimazu Nakano "said" to everyone, "Now I want to inform you of important news, that is, the fire at the foot of the mountain is still spreading to us, so we have to abandon the camps in the rear. , which means we have no way out!"

Wang Defa?

Liu Xing looked shocked. He didn't expect that after the earth-shaking changes in Mount Fuji, the flames at the foot of the mountain could still continue to spread. No, this was no longer spreading, because the flames had long since stopped rising due to lack of combustibles. Footsteps, so this is actually a countdown hourglass in disguise, and it is also constantly reducing the scope of the battlefield.

It seems that the clone of Nyarlathotep is also impatient and does not intend to let the two sides stand in a stalemate for too long. . . For example, before this news was received, although the two sides fighting on the front line seemed to be fighting back and forth, there were actually not too many casualties because both sides were taking advantage of this first confrontation to test the situation. , prepare to determine the enemy's strength, and then wait until a suitable time to withdraw the troops, go back and sort out the information and make some targeted arrangements.

After all, this can be regarded as a battle between two armies, rather than a group of gangsters fighting on the street. How can the outcome be determined by a fight?

So when everyone on both sides learned that the fire at the foot of the mountain was constantly shrinking their scope of activities, they unanimously chose to retreat.

"It seems that the next round of battle will be a life-and-death battle between us and the public faction. Perhaps the mastermind behind all this is hoping that only one of our two factions can survive."

Looking at the panting Yin En, Liu Xing nodded and said. . . Well, Liu Xing couldn't speak at this time, so he could only shake his head in his mind and object to Yin En's statement.

The reason is very simple, because judging from Atu's previous actions, these clones of Nyarlathotep can directly attract a group of players to open special modules, but they will not let all the unsuccessful players tear up their cards. After all, The players who can be selected by them are not some unscrupulous little transparent ones, so if something happens to all of them, it will be equivalent to a big part of the thread suddenly missing.

As for this public and military battle, a large number of players have gathered, and in addition to the local players in the island country, those "foreign" players are more or less powerful, so if you think of the players in this parallel world as a spear If so, then the players participating in the Battle of Public Martial Arts are the spearheads, because those players in the Cthulhu area are the spearheads. Therefore, even if only one-third of the players participating in the Battle of Public Martial Arts are lost, this parallel world will be "vigorous". "Injury", after all, there are no players to "play" the originally prepared modules and plot lines.

Therefore, Liu Xing feels that the Battle of Gongwu will not really become a life-and-death battle, but will end abruptly when the players lose a certain amount. At this time, the mastermind behind the scenes will stand up and announce who wins and who loses. .

Of course, the players on the losing side will most likely be "fallen off" and torn apart like Yin Luyang, and the remaining one or two can still escape unscathed. As for those players who will be the one or two, Liu Xing estimates that they should Those are the people at the top of the list of contributions.

If that's the case, that's a bit troublesome.

As long as there is a clear goal, the Wu family faction still has a great advantage, because judging from the current situation, the Wu family faction has stronger combat effectiveness, so after determining the victory conditions, the Wu family faction can fight with all its strength for this goal; For example, after determining how many players/NPCs/people/members are killed, the battle between public and military forces will end, and the Wu family faction can make targeted arrangements, place their own specific targets in relatively safe locations, and then attack with all their strength. If the opponent launches an attack on a specific target, the Wu family faction's chances of winning will be much higher.

But if there is no exact goal, and the battle will end when a certain condition is reached, then the advantage of the Wu family faction can be said to be gone, not a bit left, especially when the conditions for the end of the battle and the outcome are not directly When contacted.

For example, once the situation that Liu Xing thought about happens, even if the Wu family faction solves 100% of the players on the opposite side, the public faction may still win the final victory because the NPCs on their side perform well, and then the players of the Wu family faction will You have to accompany your opponent on the road, even if they are victorious in terms of appearance. . .

So, how to break this situation?

Liu Xing couldn't think of an answer, so he could only pray that his guess was wrong.

However, the mission goal of the current Gongwu War is still very broad - to defeat the public faction.

"Judging from the shrinkage of the fire circle, we will reach our current location in one hour at most. This means that we and the public faction must have a battle to determine the outcome, otherwise we will most likely be buried together. Sea of ​​Fire, so now I ask you all to have a good meal and rest, and prepare for the beginning of this final battle. Then we will have to fight to the death with the public faction."

While sending people to distribute food and water, Shimazu Nakano continued: "Judging from the current situation, Fire God wants to force us to decide the winner as soon as possible, so it will not become what it is now, or even There is no way for us to retreat, so we must go all out; now I hope that everyone can express their opinions and provide opinions on our next battle, so that we can have a higher chance of victory."

As soon as Shimazu Nakano finished speaking, his ancestor Shimazu Iehisa stood up and said: "Plans can never keep up with changes, so formulating a combat plan now is of no use. Besides, everyone knows the current situation very well. We are When fighting in a large plain, there is no room for maneuvering, so my idea is very simple, that is, to form a formation and fight directly, at most, let the musketeers fly together on both wings, so that we will not block the shooting angle."

Shimazu Iehisa's idea was unanimously praised by his "peers". Of course, Liu Xing and others also felt that what he said was right, because as far as the current situation is concerned, there is still no opportunity to be clever. It’s impossible to dig a tunnel under the enemy’s nose now, right?

Liu Xing shook his head, feeling that he was really uncomfortable now that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, a person Liu Xing didn't know stood up and said, "Well, I have an idea that may not be very mature, that is, the reason why Fire God suddenly became angry may be because we were fighting on Mount Fuji. It's angry, so it wants us to have a good fight now, but I don't think it will just let us fight to the death. It can only stop if one side is killed, so I think Fire God should have already decided. One degree.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present began to discuss. . . Well, except for those who can't speak.

"What you said makes sense. I also think that Fire God, as an ancient god who has protected us, should not ask us to sacrifice half of our people to quell its anger, so its current thinking may be A small punishment but a big commandment, let us know when it hurts to let go, and also tell the winner of the battle between public and military forces, so as to prevent us from continuing to fight in the future; but that is what it says, but we still don’t know the bottom line set by Fire God There, it might be the number of people, or it might be the time.”

Shimazu Nakano frowned and said seriously: "So now the question is, when we are not sure where the bottom line of Fire God is, should we fight bravely or be conservative?"

"Fight, we must fight!" Maori Yuan stood up and said: "If Fire God wants us to solve the problem in a relatively peaceful way, it will not trap us in this place, so I think Fire God's idea It is a one-time pain so that we will not repeat today's story in the next few decades. Therefore, we need to give full play to our combat advantages and let the public factions pay a greater price, so that we can save more people. .”

As the Wu family faction, of course, the main fighting faction has more people, so everyone quickly reached a consensus, that is, after the battle resumes later, they will directly attack the opponent with full firepower in order to end this war as soon as possible. A battle.

Liu Xing suddenly thought of the story of the Conferred Gods List, because in the story, the reason why Jiejiao and Chanjiao fight to the death is that the main purpose is to get each other's disciples to be on the Conferred Gods List. After all, there are only so many positions on the Conferred Gods List. If you take one more Then I can send one less disciple to work in heaven.

However, Liu Xing still felt that things were not that simple, but there was nothing he could do, or there was nothing to do.

So Liu Xing could only stare blankly with the wooden guns he had just been assigned, and these wooden guns were weapons for civilian and logistics personnel. To put it bluntly, they were sharpened wooden sticks.
