Chapter 451 Nothing is invincible
Chapter 451 Nothing is invincible.
No one expected that this “epic” mission would be completed so smoothly.
A person actually came out of the valley alive. What
made everyone even more confused was what exactly happened to this “Luo Yu”.
”What should we do now?”
Looking at the dumbfounded “Luo Yu”, Mosquito scratched the back of his head and looked at the Mole beside him.
Just now, he went offline and tried to wake up Luo Yu, but found that this guy couldn’t be resurrected due to a bug.
Mole thought for a while, shook his head and said.
”I don’t know… But if this thing is important, I guess the manager should send a plane to pick it up.”
But then again…
The mission requires the recovery of the body, right?
It’s the body, right?
Wouldn’t it be strange to be still alive?
The look in the Mole’s eyes when he looked at Luo Yu suddenly became “ambiguous”.
Sisi thought for a while and said, “I think so too… Since this mission is so important, it won’t be left unfinished. We don’t need to worry about what happens next.”
Tail: “Oh! Brother Guang will definitely have a way!”
”Luoyu”, who followed behind everyone, had no awareness that he was the focus of everyone’s attention. At this moment, he had a dull expression on his face, and even drooled at the corner of his mouth. He did
n’t look very smart at all.
Mole couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
”If only Lao Na was here…”
Everyone returned to the pass of the valley and found the truck parked on the side of the road, but found that the guide had disappeared and the motorcycle had been driven away.
But no one blamed him.
As a devout believer, seeing the dead god come back to life, the impact on his worldview is inevitable.
However, when everyone left the valley and was about to go home, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
A group of black cavalry rode from the west and surrounded the entrance of the valley.
The leader was the city lord Sean, and the old priest named Prest also followed.
He stretched his neck to look around, and his tail started to cheer.
”Oh! Si! Your suitor!”
Sis pretended not to hear and subtly moved his eyes away.
Although he was very grateful.
But he was still sorry.
The mighty hundred cavalrymen came close, and before the city lord spoke, the old priest got off his horse first.
Seeing that Zhima Paste was safe and sound, the old man excitedly stepped forward and asked.
”Lord God’s Messenger, are you okay?”
”I… I’m fine, haha.”
Zhima Paste had an awkward but polite smile on his face. He didn’t know how to deal with it, and looked at Sis for help.
Sean also got off his horse, but he didn’t mention the previous things. He walked closer and asked.
”What happened over there? I heard that the God of the Sky…”
Sis answered with a serious look.
”The seal has indeed loosened, and the bones of the God of the Sky have been eroded by evil spirits, and he just crawled out of the tomb.”
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and the faces of the cavalry showed difficulty.
Compared to facing the indescribable things, they would rather charge towards the machine gun position.
Sean looked at her in astonishment, while the old priest looked at the “God’s Messenger” beside him for help.
Seeing the look Sisi gave him, Zhima Paste nodded quickly.
”Yes… that’s it.”
The old priest asked with a trembling voice.
”Then… what should we do?”
With a gentle smile on his face, Zhima Paste continued.
”Don’t worry, we have re-sealed it… The remains of the God of the Sky have fallen into a deep sleep again. As long as you don’t disturb its long sleep like today, it will continue to sleep.”
Sean looked at her gratefully, and then glanced at the people behind her, and said sincerely.
”Thank you, you have helped us so much… I really don’t know how to thank you.”
”Oh! You’re welcome! As long as-” Rourou subconsciously covered Tail’s mouth.
Sisi coughed lightly and spoke for Zhima Paste who didn’t know how to answer.
”…As long as the residents here can return to their peaceful lives, the chaos sweeping the desert can end.”
Sean looked at her with a complicated expression. What he wanted to say was written on his face, but he didn’t say a word, just nodded.
Mosquito, who was standing next to Mole, turned his head and complained in a low voice.
”If this guy travels back to ancient times, he can be a charlatan at least.”
”That’s not necessarily the case. It depends on the situation. If he meets someone who is difficult to talk to, he may be burned as a witch.”
”Hiss… Maybe it’s really possible.”
Looking at the two people whispering, Luo Yu tilted his head like a wooden chicken, and a drop of saliva fell to the ground.
No one heard the barely detectable sound.
”Yi…”
…
The Skeleton Corps’ base is next to the White Bear Knights. Including the light tank that Mole picked up, 16 tanks and more than 30 logistics trucks are parked in the camp.
The players took turns on duty, and this long night finally ended with the rising of the sun.
Just as Mole guessed.
Early the next morning, the Enterprise’s transport plane landed to the north of Petra Fortress.
The streamlined fuselage, full of science fiction, was out of tune with the nearby walls and cast iron cannons.
However, in this absurd wasteland world, it unexpectedly did not feel out of place.
”The art director of this game is a master!” Mole, who was standing at the door of the base, couldn’t help but sigh.
No exaggeration or slander.
It can integrate so many art styles into the same game, and it can blend with each other without any disobedience, and it is as realistic as reality.
This skill is simply amazing!
At this time, the pilot with his helmet tucked under his elbow walked towards the camp, raised his index finger and flicked it forward as a salute, and stretched out his right hand with a careless smile.
”Captain of Orca No. 3, Liu Yue!”
”Captain of the Skeleton Corps, uh… Mole.”
Every time he introduced himself, Mole couldn’t help digging his toes into the ground, wishing he could slap himself twice.
Hearing this strange name, the man didn’t laugh out loud, but his eyes lit up, and he excitedly held his right hand tightly.
”Wait, Mole? Are you the Mole?”
Mole was also confused by the question.
Who else in the entire alliance has this name besides him?
”Uh, what can I do for you?”
Liu Yue showed a shy smile on his face, and his hands did not stop moving. He hurriedly took out a small notebook from his pocket.
”Excuse me, can you sign for me?”
Mole looked confused, but still reached out to take the notebook and wrote a line of words on it crookedly in human language.
”Thank you!”
Liu Yue took the notebook as if it were a treasure, stuffed it back into his pocket, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
”Thanks, brother… The game you made is great! It’s a pity that I was pulled over to take over after playing a few games!”
The moment he heard this, Mole was stunned, and suddenly realized something, and asked excitedly.
”Wait! Have you played the game I made? Where did you hear about my game?”
”Of course I downloaded it from the Endpoint Cloud…”
Seeing Mole’s surprised expression, Liu Yue immediately realized something, and then slapped his head and said.
”Oh, I almost forgot, you may not know that you were fighting outside. Not long after you left that day, many media in Ideal City reported your heroic deeds!”
”I heard that a film and television company plans to adapt your story into a movie! Not only that, now all the ‘warmongers’ in the city are playing your “Battle Royale”! Haha, just kidding, everyone is against war… I hope this damn war will end soon, and we can have a chance to compete on the Endpoint Cloud.”
Looking at this real fan in front of him, Mole felt dizzy, as if he was dreaming.
Seeing that his idol didn’t respond, Liu Yue didn’t care and just grinned.
Suddenly remembering that there was something important he forgot to say, he patted his head and continued to talk about business.
”By the way, by the way, your commander has given you a new task, which should have been synchronized to your personal terminal… VM? It seems to be called this name.”
The most important thing was put last.
Mole was quite suspicious that if this guy didn’t remember it, he would just forget it.
He had a new understanding of the unreliability of the enterprise soldiers.
But at this moment, Mole had no time to complain, and was completely shocked by the news that spanned more than 4,000 kilometers.
It’s popular?
His game is popular? ? ?
After a long while, he said a word with his eyes wide open.
”Fuck!”
…
The enterprise’s transport plane brought not only the tasks of the alliance manager, but also the fuel needed for the Skeleton Corps tanks, and the generators for charging the “electric mule” and “electric bull”.
It is estimated that it will take three days to complete the supply. After three days, the Skeleton Corps will continue on the road and rush to the front line to fight.
At the request of the administrator, Mole picked two reliable brothers from the Skeleton Corps to escort “Falling Feather” back to Qingquan City for treatment.
Also escorted to the Alliance were General McLen of the Legion and his adjutant and other senior officers.
These people are bargaining chips in the armistice agreement.
As for the officers below the rank of centurion and nearly 6,000 soldiers, they are temporarily under the care of the Hump Kingdom.
Regardless of whether the nobles of the Hump Kingdom are willing or not, they have been tied to the chariot of the Alliance.
It has come to this point, even the most naive people can’t imagine that there is still a chance to surrender to the Legion, and can only continue to fight with the Alliance.
Before boarding the plane, Mole warned the two players very seriously.
”Remember to keep an eye on ‘Falling Feather’.”
”If that guy has any abnormal behavior that threatens the safety of the plane or the prisoners, don’t hold back, just kill him directly…”
As he said, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Last night, he talked to Luo Yu about this indirectly and asked for his opinion.
When he learned that his body had been possessed by another body and might turn into a gnawer, Luo Yu suddenly became anxious and wanted to go online and kill himself.
The two players nodded seriously.
”Don’t worry, Captain!”
”We must be reliable when doing things!”
Mole nodded with relief and watched “Luo Yu” get on the plane with the two of them.
At this time, he suddenly saw Mosquito walking on the plane and asked.
”What are you going to do?”
Mosquito smiled shyly and said, “Hehe, I’m taking a ride home. The resurrection CD is too hard to wait.”
This Petra Fortress is indeed very lively and interesting, but he still prefers the atmosphere in Qingquan City. The humid air smells more comfortable.
Especially after seeing the Titan controlled by slime mold last night, a bold idea suddenly popped out of his mind.
He plans to try it when he goes back this time.
The mole was stunned and asked, “What? Who will fly the plane after you leave?”
”Plane? Oh, you mean the one I flew here,” Mosquito smiled and said, “That one has been given to the mayor of Petra Fortress.”
The mole was shocked: “Is this okay?”
Mosquito said generously, “Well, why not? That thing is not expensive! I’m in charge!”
In fact, he had no say in this matter, but just took the opportunity to brag.
Giving the plane to the mayor of Petra Fortress was not his decision, but something the manager had told him before he left.
Not only that, the manager also asked him to tell the mayor of Petra that if he thought the propeller plane was useful, he could send an envoy to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to purchase it.
Twenty cows can be exchanged for a plane, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition are also given, which can be said to be good value for money.
Not only that, the alliance not only sells weapons, but also sells the technology to operate weapons. The mayor of Petra Fortress can let the pilot come with the envoy, and after learning how to fly, he can fly the plane back directly.
Although the flight range of nearly 1,000 kilometers exceeds the combat radius of the W-2, it is still no problem to fly one way, and you can even pick up some local specialties along the way.
As the longest-serving propeller aircraft in the alliance, this thing can be used for dogfighting when equipped with a light machine gun, can be used for licking the ground when replaced with a heavy machine gun, and can be used to spread pesticides when the weapons are removed, with diversified application scenarios.
It’s very useful!
All personnel have boarded the plane, the hatch of the Orca transport plane closed, and it took off from the sand dunes with two blue arcs of light, flying towards the east.
Watching the blue light disappear in the sky, Sisi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mole beside him.
”What are your plans for the future?”
Recalling the tasks updated on the VM, the mole replied casually.
”…The coalition forces of the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom are withdrawing from Oasis No. 9. The administrator asked us to go to Oasis No. 9 to reorganize, and after joining the reinforcements in the rear, we will advance to Oasis No. 3 and liberate the Honey Badger Kingdom in one fell swoop!”
Tail standing by was surprised.
”Oh! It seems that the progress is very smooth!”
It seems that this war will end soon.
The mole said with a smile.
”Hahaha, thanks to you, otherwise it would definitely not be so smooth!”
The great victory of the Lost Valley and the counterattack of the City of Plenty can be said to be the turning point of the entire war.
Just like the Normandy Landing and the Battle of Angles in World War II.
Rourou touched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression on his face.
”It’s mutual. Thanks to your tanks. We and the Petra garrison alone are definitely no match for the Legion.”
”Don’t say that. The outcome of a battle is not measured by combat effectiveness. In a battlefield of this scale, even if you can gain one more second, you can have a better chance of winning.”
Mole smiled and continued.
”Speaking of which, what about you? Are you going to the front line? We can give you a ride.”
Sisi said with a curved mouth.
”Quanshui let us move freely. He said that we are more useful when we are outside than in the Legion.”
”Giao! Did he say that?” Tail showed a shocked expression.
Mole laughed heartlessly.
”Hahahaha! It tastes like that. It really sounds like what Quanshui, that LYB, would say!”
Tail looked at Sisi with a frustrated face, and the latter smiled and touched the former’s head.
”Don’t be depressed. I think this is more like an affirmation.”
”Affirmation?”
”Yes, it affirms Awei’s achievements in other fields.”
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Instead of working hard on the areas they are not good at, it is better to do things better in the areas they are good at.
This game does not stipulate how to play.
Why doesn’t “Wasteland OL” only issue closed beta qualifications to a certain type of players?
In other words, why is it not limited to players of specific professions to participate in the game?
With the technical strength currently demonstrated by the operator, it is not difficult to do this technically.
But since it is not done, there must be a reason.
…
Three days later, in the morning, the Skeleton Corps, which had completed the supply, set out on the journey again.
Under the watchful eyes of the garrison and residents of the Petra Fortress, this steel torrent headed northward.
Although three days is a short time, a lot of things happened in these days.
The news that the Legion detonated a nuclear bomb at the ruins of Oasis No. 7 spread throughout the alliance and to the neighboring Boulder City.
The person who wrote the relevant news report was Miss Dolly, a well-known reporter of the “Survivor Daily”, and the intercepted photos were from the nuclear explosion video taken by Tail.
When it was learned that the Legion originally planned to secretly drop this nuclear bomb over Qingquan City, the whole Boulder City was in an uproar, and both the inner and outer cities were calling for joining the war.
Unlike Luoxia Province.
The people in the southern part of the Valley Province are tough, especially the survivors in Qingquan City.
Many people fell asleep listening to the sound of gunfire when they were still holding their bottles, and even learned to shoot while walking. The factor of violence has long been integrated into their genes and injected into their blood vessels.
There are cowards who grow up in such an environment, but even if they are cowardly, they are only relatively speaking.
If the militia group was not firmly controlled by the city lord and the city hall did not have the right to declare war, I am afraid that the troops of Boulder City would have already entered the desert…
But even if Boulder City could not be mobilized to directly participate in the war, the propaganda tool is not meaningless.
In order to support the alliance to gain more advantages on the battlefield, the Boulder City Bank offered to provide the alliance with a loan with an interest rate so low that it could be ignored.
In addition to official support, private support was also quietly carried out.
More and more civilians were attracted by the bravery of the alliance and left the giant wall to join the alliance in the northern suburbs.
Among them were workers with technical skills and mercenaries with rich combat experience.
Even if they were illiterate, as long as they could carry a hoe or a wrench, they would be a valuable asset for the alliance, whose territory and industry were both in the expansion period.
It was not only the Boulder City that was burned by the fire that was excited. Many media in the Ideal City on the east coast also reported the news and set off an uproar on the endpoint cloud.
The most intuitive result was that the scale of direct aid from enterprises to the alliance increased from the original 300 million Cr to 1 billion Cr, and the scale of indirect aid increased to 2 billion Cr.
In addition to expressing determination with money, five “Cloud Dragonfly” flapping-wing aircraft were directly sent to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
Ten instructors also arrived with them.
They will be responsible for one-on-one teaching of the Alliance pilots to ensure that they can correctly fly this next-generation aircraft.
In addition, more advanced forward-swept wing jets are also under development.
Although mutants cannot fly planes and the East Coast does not use supersonic fighters, that is in the past.
In order to curb the ambitions of the Legion, they have further strengthened their determination to arm the Alliance.
All the changes are taking place quietly.
Compared with the turbulent overall situation, the Hump Kingdom, which is closest to the center of the nuclear explosion, seems to be “secluded in a corner”.
The nuclear bomb detonated in the valley is like a brick thrown into the sea. Although it has also set off a lot of waves, it was soon submerged in the bigger waves.
The king of the Hump Kingdom visited the Petra Fortress and learned about the situation from the city lord.
The high priest of the kingdom also arrived with them.
When the old man in a white robe learned about the identity of Zhima Paste’s “God’s Messenger”, he immediately expressed his intention to canonize her as a saint.
At first, Zhimahu was quite interested in this title. After all, which player would complain about unlocking too many titles?
However, when she learned that she could only live in the palace specially prepared for her from now on, she immediately rejected the title in shock.
Being restricted to one place and unable to move, what is the difference between this and a title?
Even without Sisi’s teaching, she immediately imitated the expression and tone of the charlatan, and made up a prophecy on the spot, saying that her mission had ended, and the Silver Moon Goddess summoned her to return to the country of yellow sand, and staying would only bring disaster to the local residents.
The old priest of Petra Fortress was naturally reluctant to leave.
However, the high priest from the capital did not try too hard to retain her.
The guy didn’t seem to want her to stay here all the time, but just pretended to retain her for a while, and then regretfully expressed that he would respect the choice of the envoy of God.
Although he failed to unlock this achievement, Zhimahu didn’t feel it was a pity.
Being able to travel with her companions is the most precious treasure for her, which is far from being comparable to a title.
And from another perspective, in fact, waving goodbye and leaving a legend is not the best choice.
When the public beta is launched one day, there will always be other players who will set foot on this land they have been to.
And when that time comes, how will those new players interpret this bizarre legend?
Thinking about it, I am quite looking forward to it…
Watching the Skeleton Corps disappearing on the horizon, Sisi, who was standing at the gate of the garrison, glanced at the residents and nobles who saw them off, touched his chin and muttered to himself.
”Well… It seems that our plan needs to speed up.”
Wei Tai tilted his head.
”Plan?”
Sisi nodded.
”Yes, the plan to purchase the Golden Lion Coin.”
In fact, since the dinner celebrating the victory that day, some people have begun to eye this business.
Including Earl Ruskin.
Many nobles in Petra Fortress have also begun to provide currency exchange services to refugees outside the city in the name of “help”.
Before, a bag of Golden Lion Coins could not be exchanged for one Golden Camel Coin, but now ten Golden Lions can be exchanged for one Golden Camel.
Although it is only a small-scale exchange, it is not difficult to see that the positions of some nobles in the Hump Kingdom have begun to waver.
The outcome of a battle may not determine the direction of the entire war.
But the myth of the Legion’s invincibility has collapsed unconsciously in everyone’s heart.
Nothing is invincible.
From the pupils that watched the Skeleton Corps go away, she has seen the dawn of victory… At
the same time, when the Skeleton Corps marched north, the capital of the Lion Kingdom, nearly a thousand kilometers away, was bustling like a festival.
The epic victory of the City of Plenty completely reversed the offensive and defensive situation of both sides of the war.
In the counterattack that lasted for three days, the Iron Heart, the Storm Corps, and the Goblin Corps that cooperated in the battle, relied on their excellent firepower and mobility to steal the show on the front battlefield. It is
only a matter of time to help the Lion Kingdom regain lost territory and completely liberate Oasis No. 9.
However, Chu Guang did not rush to advance.
First, the Alliance’s expeditionary force had a serious consumption of ammunition, especially the shells of the Iron Heart, which needed to be returned to Qingquan City for replenishment.
Secondly, the Skeleton Corps had just set out from Oasis No. 4, and it would take some time for them to reach Oasis No. 9 and join the main force.
Apart from these strategic factors, another reason was political interests.
Fighting a war costs money, and giving players mission rewards also costs money.
Someone has to pay for these things.
The King of the Lion Kingdom obviously knew this, and specially prepared a grand welcoming ceremony for them in the capital.
Chu Guang planned to mention a series of things that Prince Kariman had promised him, including “vassalage”, when reviewing the Storm Corps…
