870.The Day the War Begins·Magino’s Trial (Page 1/2)
“Can't stop it.”
Filthy Swamp, Wolf Castle, the temporary location of Lao Qin’s headquarters.
All the young staff officers are staying here at this time. Lao Qin's two adjutants, the Qing Dynasty veterans and the five pairs of wheels, also have serious expressions at this time. In front of them is a swamp sand table shaped with spiritual energy. This thing is better than the one in the deserted mountain war zone before. The one used is a bit more sophisticated, provided by a goatman conjurer who specializes in psychic shaping..
It details all the tunnels and tactical nodes in the entire area of the Filthy Swamp. The green dots represent the active player teams or Transian NPC tactical groups, the red dots represent the activities of the gnolls, and the blue dots represent Your own fortress in the swamp.
Now the sand table is covered with red spots. At first glance, they are densely packed and very eye-catching..
You don't need to elaborate in words to see that the Jackals' advance and breakthrough in the Filthy Swamp is unstoppable. The number of red dots is even a hundred times that of the green defenders, and they are still moving forward..
“According to the worst-case scenario, the filthy swamp will be breached within the next two days..”
Five pairs of wheels whispered：
“There is bad news from the Church of Avalon. As the number of gnolls continues to increase in the swamp, the domain of divine power belonging to the Lord of Hunting is also spread through these worldly nodes, and the growth rate of carnivorous plants in the filthy swamp is increasing. was suppressed, and the carnivorous beast became more violent under the influence of the wild will to hunt..
The goat people's town in the southeastern part of the swamp has been attacked several times by swamp creatures..
This means that the blessing of the God of Nature to the swamp is temporarily invalid..
The space game between the gods is about to come to an end. It seems that the god of jackals really wants to see Transia fall into war..”
“The activities of the player team have been suppressed to the limit, especially after the Godslayers were transferred. It is difficult for ordinary players and newbies to resist the gnolls' position breakthroughs everywhere, and even the tunnel system is also under control. Constantly occupied by large numbers of kobolds.”
The veteran of the Qing Dynasty who was in charge of actual combat on the front line said a little tiredly.：
“Although the previous weapon change gave us a firepower advantage on the local battlefield, even the kobolds began to be affected by the violent will of the Lord of the Hunt. The morale of those cowardly guys was very high, and now they had to kill more. Forcing them to collapse, and because there are too many corpses to deal with, the environment in the tunnel is deteriorating rapidly..
The players can't stand it anymore, let alone the NPCs walking through the tunnels..
Those corpses are likely to cause disease, so I have ordered the NPC hunters to retreat to the Maginot Line of Defense, leaving only the players to continue fighting in the swamp, but Mr. Qin, it is only a matter of time before this area is lost..”
“It was a matter of time from the beginning, especially after we learned the specific news about the Split Claw Black Tide. I had no intention of annihilating this army in the swamp. That was a strategic goal that was impossible to achieve..”
Compared with the low mood of others, Lao Qin, as the commander, looked calm. He was not frustrated at all, but turned to ask the domestic 013 next to him.：
“Have the battle loss ratios of both sides been calculated?？”
“Well, it's done, Chief..”
Domestic 013 immediately took out a document. She glanced at the people around her, cleared her throat at Master Qin's nod, and read：
“As of 9 o'clock yesterday evening, that is, the ninth day since the start of the Filthy Swamp Blockade, we have retrieved the data recorded by the calculation orbs of the player team, and with the help of the player Ruyi, we have calculated the accurate battle losses of both sides..
In these days of fighting, we lost about 3,000 players, 76% of whom were new players who had been in the game for less than three months. The casualty rate among veteran players was qualitatively higher than in the previous two battles. promote.
This fully proves that our player group has received quite good experience in the Black Disaster War, especially those players who have entered the Silver level. When they face the strong Jackals of the same level, they can already use the equipment to not fall behind. Wind, this proves that the overall quality of players is rapidly improving.
In contrast, the losses on the Jackal side were.
According to our estimates, the Jackal troop losses so far are at least 15,000+..
The losses here include deaths, missing persons, serious injuries, and disabilities. Although this quite astonishing battle loss ratio was achieved under the extremely special combat environment of the Dirty Swamp, we still need to focus on commending the various explosives produced by the National Arsenal. The use of war weapons caused the gnolls to suffer a terrible morale blow..
The exchange ratio between the two sides is close to 1:5. This ratio has far exceeded the previous two battles..
Please note that this is only the loss statistics for the gnolls. The losses of the kobold servant army are not included, but that is definitely a very exaggerated number..
Using the enemy's strength as a measure, our results in the swamp blockade are brilliant. Based on the fact that players were resurrected in three days, we can proudly claim that Transia was destroyed without spending a single soldier. He defeated the three vanguard regiments under Xu Gesen's command..”
“Well, this result is indeed brilliant.”
The Qing Dynasty veteran frowned and said：
“But this casualty is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge military strength under Xu Gesen's command, and it does not even cause any structural damage to them..”
“But you also have to realize that this is a result achieved by just dispatching players..”
The fifth pair of wheels has arrived.：
“In order to maintain the resistance of the Maginot Line at its peak, we did not ask other local forces except the Church of Avalon to join this blockade this time. If the blockade was carried out regardless of casualties, the results would be even more amazing..
But this kind of strategy of all-army battle is not necessary. The Maginot Line of Defense is in the rear. The original goal of the swamp operation is not to annihilate the jackals. From what we have observed, the activities of the jackals in the swamp have changed from beginning to end. The aggressive push at the beginning has turned into a cautious and slow move now..
Their morale was severely damaged.
We even observed some gnoll scouts fleeing without a fight after encounters between the two sides. They have developed fear of this swamp that continues to swallow up lives..
In this way, after the attack on the Maginot Line is blocked, if the Jackals want to change their advance route, retreating through the filthy swamp will definitely not be their first choice. From this point of view, this battle has actually been successful..”
“This is also the limit that the current player group can achieve..”
Lao Qin stood up, looked at the psychic sand table in front of him, put his hands on his hips and said：
“Quantity has always been the decisive factor that restricts players from playing a more important role in various fields. Currently, our number remains at 4,000+. In this black disaster, even if everyone is rushing to be first, it will be difficult to truly assume the core mission..
But looking at the battles over the past few months, I can proudly declare that our players have lived up to the local expectations of us..
‘The nickname "Immortal Heroic Spirit" is well deserved..
I heard that the Brotherhood of Stonemasons designed and built a 'Hall of Valor' for us in the city of Scarlet Castle. I guess after this war is over, it will definitely become a new 'holy place' for the locals.’.
Okay, everyone, whether you are satisfied with this result or not, the stage that belongs to us is coming to an end. The decisive battle of the Maginot Line will begin soon, where we will witness the end of the Transancian resistance, and we will also Join in and play a colorful role.
While the most outstanding members of our group fight against evil gods thousands of miles away, the rest of us must also strengthen our will and fulfill our duties..”
Master Qin paused.
He turned around and looked at all the members of the staff behind him, especially the young people..
He was satisfied to see the growth and changes of these young students during the war years. The aura they exuded from the inside out after being tempered by the real flames of war reminded him of the glorious years of his youth..
It is obvious to soldiers and commanders whether they have been on the battlefield or not. Now Master Qin can finally proudly claim that he has brought out a group of trustworthy soldiers..
“Your time on the General Staff is over, young men..”
Mr. Qin reached out and patted the shoulder of the domestically produced 003, who was the most outstanding among the young staff officers. He said：
“Next, you will be assigned to the main headquarters of the Maginot Line according to the work you are good at, and you will assume command responsibilities in a magnificent battle. I cannot issue you a graduation certificate here..
But as I promised before, I can still afford a good set of equipment.”
