Chapter 771 770. The new decisive weapon! Come on, let’s dig to the end of the sky - additional update [330]

(Additional update for the "Frostfang Claw" brothers [3/5])

The astral wolves made a big fuss and messed up the frontline defense of Shadow Valley. The jackals took advantage of the opportunity and immediately followed up when the wolves retreated in the ice fog, taking advantage of the time when the Winter Wolf Legion reorganized the defense line.

In one fell swoop, they captured two of the three suspension bridges in front of the valley, and launched an attack on the last suspension bridge.

Players must react quickly at critical moments.

When they realized that the Jackals were about to seize the bridge, these foreigners who had just fought with the Astral Wolves rushed over as quickly as possible, and fought a bloody battle with the Jackals under the leadership of a group of high-end players who rushed back to the valley.

For more than an hour, they were not allowed to cross the bridge.

After the Nords at the rear regrouped, the players withdrew from the battlefield, but even so, the defense of Shadow Valley had been partially dismantled.

Then the last bridge was taken by the jackals, and a standard terrain of catching turtles in an urn was formed.

The headquarters was aware of this risk. Under the command of five pairs of wheels, the players walking in the tunnel carried out multiple attacks on the area occupied by the Jackals for the next two days and three nights, hoping to force the Jackals to return to the rear.

However, this strategy has been discovered by Xu Gesen.

It understands that it has reached a critical moment. As long as it can break through the final defense of the Transians in the Shadow Valley, it can occupy this key point and then master the intricate tunnel system in the Barren Mountain area from the source, and put the Transians in this

The ambush strategy in a long and narrow area was completely defeated.

Therefore, Xu Gesen not only did not return to defense, but instead devoted all his elite troops to the attack on Shadow Valley.

They adopted a primitive but effective offensive. Xugersen sent out all the kobolds under his command to dig new tunnels under the mountain and sneak into the valley.

This movement cannot be hidden from the earth priests.

As long as the kobolds dug a tunnel, they would immediately collapse it, but the gnolls also used clumsy earthquake techniques to continuously peel off the mountain in the rift valley of the valley to create a second road besides the suspension bridge.

These two tasks were carried out at the same time. With the huge numerical advantage of the jackals, the earth priests were busy without touching the ground.

Anyone can see the sinister intentions of the gnolls, and the defenders in the valley also realize that the day of decisive battle is approaching.

The two sides on the surface were confronting each other in preparation for the final battle, but in the tunnels, the intensity of the encounter had already escalated to a new level.

"There are kobolds in front and behind! Boss, we can't get out, these dogs have blocked us."

The "Pride of the Tribe", a large guild in the new group, was performing daily tasks to regain the water source, but they encountered a dangerous situation as soon as they passed through the tunnel. The team of fifty people was blocked in a long and narrow tunnel by kobolds.

After Chenlong realized that a fierce battle was inevitable, he decisively ordered his team members to follow him and rush to the mission location.

The kobolds can't stop them, this is already the consensus of the players.

If the gnolls don't plan to hunt the elects or send barbarians down, then this little obstacle won't be enough to make the players give up on the mission.

The facts turned out as Chen Long had expected. In the face of their aggressive attack, the armed kobolds blocking the way in front quickly dispersed. But before the players could rush out of the tunnel with overwhelming force, a violent psychic cracking followed.

The stone walls surrounding the tunnel exploded.

"grass!"

Chen Long only had time to let out a roar, and the large piece of soil above his head fell down in the vibration, pressing down the brother in front of him.

This is just the beginning.

Soon more lysis techniques were released, and a few minutes later, the entire tunnel collapsed, and the heavy soil pressed down on the players, suffocating them quickly even if they were not crushed to death immediately.

The shallowest tunnels dug by the dwarves are five meters above the ground. It is impossible to break the surface and rush out, so this kind of "terrain killing" is basically unsolvable in this situation.

This tunnel disintegration not only buried fifty players, but also buried more than a hundred kobolds who were passing by. However, the blood scar priests who launched the disintegration technique behind the tunnel did not even look at this place, nor did they go to clean it up.

That ruin, after recording the kill, turned around and left.

Obviously, the jackals have lost interest in this "underground hide-and-seek", and they have begun to use more efficient ways to deal with underground threats.

The news of the tragic demise of Chenlong's team was quickly posted on the forum by the angry president. In this way, he not only warned other players, but also conveyed this change in the details of the war to the headquarters.

Fortunately, he didn't bring his most expensive dwarf plate armor with him when he went out today, otherwise the loss would have been enough to make Chenlong vomit blood.

"Another tunnel collapse? How many times has this happened?"

The current leader of the headquarters, "Five Pairs of Wheels", has realized that something is wrong. He used a chat tool to form a group offline. Through the summary of the young staff, a new situation was revealed.

"There have been five tunnel collapses in three days. This number is very abnormal, sir."

Domestic007 concluded:

"I have discussed it with my classmates. I think the Jackals are deliberately using this kind of 'terrain killing' to restrict our tactical penetration and free movement. We checked the structure of several collapsed tunnels and found that the Jackals are not doing it casually.

Creating collapses, they are artificially dividing our tunnels.

They are compressing our activity space, forcing us to give up our flexibility in moving through narrower terrain. The final result of this tactic is that we will be squeezed into tunnels that cannot be connected, and will be forced to fight head-on decisive battles with the gnolls.

Although they do not have heavy weapons, they have found a way to restrain us."

"Another point!"

The female staff officer of Domestic 013 also spoke:

"I think this is an 'intimidation' tactic implemented by the Jackals. After the players realize that the tunnel they are in may collapse at any time, our actions will become cautious. Even if the players are not afraid and follow the players

Action NPCs will also be scared.

They are using this cruel method to destroy our morale.

We have to find a way."

"The Earth Priests are now trapped by the dual actions of the kobolds digging into the valley and the gnolls splitting the mountain. They can't spare the time to help us reopen the tunnel."

The five pairs of wheels pondered and said:

"So, the actions of the Jackals are not a single masterstroke, but a unified overall plan. Do you have any ideas?"

"My suggestion is that instead of waiting for the gnolls to scare us, we should take the same approach."

Domestic 013 suggested:

"There is no need to stick to the original exit shaft of the tunnel. Let the players move freely and launch 'pressure' operations against the Jackal base camp with more frequent cold shots. They are also carbon-based creatures, and they also need to rest!

Our players run away after the fight and quickly move through the tunnels. If they dare to chase them, they will be buried."

"Well, okay, what else?"

"I found that some players reported that they had seen jackals hunting astral wolves for fresh meat more than once. Those astral wolves are hard to find and are avoiding direct conflict with the jackals. If we can find a way to intensify the two sides

The contradiction can at least restrain part of the werewolf's energy."

Another staff officer said:

"We have an advantage in this regard. The Jackals do not have a systematic air force, and their reconnaissance is far inferior to ours."

"Since we are talking about the air force, why can't our air force directly launch an air strike on the Jackal base camp?"

Domestic 007 asked in confusion:

"Didn't vampires use aerial bombs before? With more of those big killers, we can blow them up completely. Air superiority is a very important part, but I have never seen Mr. Qin use this advantage.

"

"The arsenal is in the process of producing new weapons, and they don't have the manpower to produce excess high-altitude explosives."

Five pairs of wheels explained:

"But the good news is that we will have new guns available soon, which are several times more powerful than the current meager firepower. But until the new weapons are delivered, we have to continue to persevere."

"What about explosives? There should be enough supply of ordinary explosives, right?"

A young staff officer who was rarely noticed suddenly said:

"If we borrow the existing tunnels, without relying on the Earth Priest, we can rely on the soil work of players and NPCs to dig tunnels under the Jackal's base camp, choose a good location, and bury enough explosives.

Let’s try making a ‘earth plane’ for them.

We can even use this chaos to conduct a central attack on the enemy's base camp. Even if it is just to boost morale, I think we should give it a try.

In fact, I have always wanted to say, wouldn't it be possible to dig tunnels without the Earth Priest?

Our predecessors could dig out tunnels quickly and well with engineering shovels, but they always relied on the earth priests, didn't they sacrifice the good for the sake of the weak?

When the old tunnels were blown up, new ones were dug.

Once the old tunnel was discovered, it was dug out from an unexpected place and the battle continued.

This is the essence of flexibility in tunnel warfare.

It is convenient to rely on a complete tunnel system to fight now, but it also loses the core of flexibility and change.

I am willing to go to the front line myself and give it a try according to my ideas.

I was an engineer before entering the military academy. I think this method is feasible. I need some people and enough explosives.

Five days! I only need five days!”

"003, you sound nice, but you actually just want to go to the battlefield to have a good time, right?"

"Hey, if you find out, can you just say it's okay? If you don't have 100% confidence in your tactical plan, how can you be a good consultant?"

"good!"

Five pairs of wheels thought for a while, then decided:
To be continued...
