773.Mudd, have a blast with them! -Additional update for the "Waiting for Lin Xian" brothers [6/30] (page 1/2)
“Brothers, work harder! We're almost at the scheduled coordinates！”
In the soil beneath the jackal camp, the domestic staff player 003 was wielding an engineer shovel and continuously widening the passage diagonally pointing upwards. He no longer showed the high spirits he had three days ago. This time The equipment all over his body was covered with traces of mud and sweat. His whole body was as gray and unshaven as those defeated adventurers..
But his mental state is very good.
Even good enough to be excited.
He shouted like a foreman, but the surrounding players and NPCs did not respond to his enthusiasm..
Fuck, everyone has been digging here for three whole days and three nights. We are all exhausted by now. How can we still be in the mood to respond to your terrible mobilization? Especially those Nords who were semi-forced to come here to dig holes because their officers were too drunk. Their expressions were as if they were dead mothers. Their eyes looking at 003 were full of resentment and anger..
After all, the intensity of doing civil engineering work for three consecutive days is much more tiring than standing guard against the jackals..
This cannot be said to be completely different from the hearty battle that these Nords long for. It can only be said that it has nothing to do with it. If it were not for the commanders pressing down on it, and the commanders of Shadow Valley constantly sending people over to help, it would mean that If this is indeed an official action, they really want to catch this weak Transian staff officer and beat him up..
Why did you treat the brothers like unpaid mining coolies and waste them on the great cause of fighting against jackals and black plagues that was promised?？
“Zhuo, I must have drunk too much that night before I believed your lies.！”
Next to 003, who has completely become a "shovel dancer", the sturdy Nord commander is also panting and complaining.：
“You must have used some evil Transian secrets to confuse my mind, so that I would willingly bring my brothers here to suffer. God of the North Wind, please punish me for being such a bad-tempered old man. After my father drank too much and died, I never worked so hard again..”
“Come on, we couldn't have spoken more than five sentences that night, okay? It was you who jumped in and asked to join the action. How could it be my deception?？”
003, who heard this complaint for the hundredth time in the past three days, held up the engineer shovel in his hand quite unhappily, and retorted unceremoniously..
During these three days of close contact with NPCs, he also had the same unique feeling for these vivid NPCs in Transia as other new players..
They are by no means rigid AI products. They are living people with their own personalities and emotions. They also have personality traits and some bad habits that can be seen at a glance, but these shortcomings do not destroy their popularity in the minds of players. The image in , on the contrary, seems more real because it is not perfect..
For example, the Nord named "Ivankov" next to 003.
The unit he belongs to is not the famous Winter Wolf Legion, but the elites drawn from the border guards in the Ice Bay area. Because they have been dealing with barbarians for many years, they fight very bravely, but also because they are not direct descendants of the Winter Wolves, these guys are in the dark. Shadow Valley is not taken seriously.
It had been four days since his superiors had been killed in battle, and Colonel Barsomyan of the Winter Wolves Corps had not yet assigned a new commander to them..
This is actually a good thing for Ivankov, which means that the Winter Wolf Legion has acquiesced in his promotion and tacitly allowed them to participate in this "underground assault" operation on behalf of the Nords. However, this disregard itself, for this For the brave Nord soldiers, this is a kind of harm..
He can willingly contribute to the country, or he can stand in front of the advancing jackal army without fear, but he also hopes to be respected and loved by his colleagues, instead of being indifferent like now..
This is so chilling.
Ten minutes later, the people working in the tunnel changed shifts, and the boss Chenlong, who had just come online, took the "Never Falling Pride" guild members to continue digging..
Chenlong was just resurrected yesterday. He and his brothers were full of energy. They were all gearing up to discuss how to kill those shitty jackals after digging the tunnel in a sneak attack. This optimistic attitude made people squat beside them and eat. Ivankov, who was holding a packed lunch, blinked..
He bumped the domestic 003 who was chewing a poultry bun with his arm, and whispered：
“Are everyone over there so confident? This tunnel may be discovered at any time now. If it is discovered by jackals or kobolds, our work will be in vain. Why do they act as if we have already won?？
Speaking of which, I have also been in contact with other warriors in Shadow Valley, and I found that you don’t seem to think about failure very much.”
“Because for us, the price of failure is death, and we won't die！”
003After eating the bun in a few bites, I explained it to the friends I had made in the past few days, then grabbed a second bun and took the time to replenish my satiety points..
He sat on the broken rocks and watched the queue of newbies using small carts to transport the excavated soil. There were also some funny guys who made their own poles and carried baskets of soil one after another. Walk forward unsteadily.
This scene gave 003 a strong sense of déjà vu, and also made him more confident in the combat operation he had designated and promoted..
After eating, 003 took out a pipe, and Ivankov next to him also took out the same thing..
The Administrative Office of Transia is well aware of the needs of men during the war. At the request of Consul Miriam, the most common commodity smuggled by the Capetian family's caravans to Transia is a large amount of tobacco produced in the Antani region..
The feeling of using this thing with a pipe is not the same as enjoying tobacco in another world. The experience is not that good. Players can't find paper to roll cigarettes and can only use pipes to follow the Romans. But for other than real old smokers, For other players, what they want is just a way to relieve stress rather than really enjoying the taste..
After all, when you are addicted to cigarettes, you can take off your helmet and have one at any time. Therefore, the current behavior of using a pipe is more like a performance behavior in line with the spirit of RP, or it can be called "the performance art of foreigners".”.
They will even compete to see who can spit out the biggest and most standard smoke ring, and regard it as a kind of capital that can be used to show off..
When 003 and Ivankov were puffing away, the young staff officer said softly:：
“The headquarters has decided to retreat. While we are busy at this moment, the civilian personnel in the valley have moved along the tunnel towards the filthy swamp. The gnolls' offensive is becoming more and more deadly, and there is no way to defend the Shadow Valley..
The surprise attack we launched here is the last battle in this theater..”
“ah？”
The tough Yankee commander was startled. He looked around, blew out a smoke ring and said：
“Doesn't telling me this kind of news not be considered a leak? Aren't you very strict about this aspect?？”
“I dare to tell you that I am not afraid of anything happening. I just want you to be mentally prepared..”
003He blew out a smoke ring and said：
“Our operation is the last battle arranged by the command in the Shadow Valley. This battle is a large-scale counterattack launched to support the retreat. All surrounding fronts will launch counterattacks against the Jackals at the same time, but our operation here is an important one. most important！
It is no exaggeration to say that the success of this raid will be directly related to the smooth evacuation of the wounded and important supplies in the valley..
We must destroy the gnolls' base camp to force them to move to the next stage according to our predetermined plan..”
“Wait, I'm a little dizzy.”
Ivankov said doubtfully：
“Isn't our strategy to buy time in Shadow Valley? I thought we were going to fight to the death here..”
“That was before, and the rear positions needed time to clean up and build. Although they are still a little behind now, with their speed, they can definitely complete the final combat preparations before the Jackals arrive in Transia. Our mission here has actually been completed in the past period of time. Most of it done.
