No one expected that this "epic" mission would be completed so smoothly.
One 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 call Luo Yu, but found that this guy was stuck in a bug and couldn't be resurrected.
Mole thought for a while and shook his head.
"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 doesn'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 came 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 and his tail cheered.
"Oh! Si! Your pursuer!"
Sisi pretended not to hear and subtly moved his eyes away.
Although I am very grateful.
But I am still sorry.
The mighty hundred cavalrymen came close, and the old priest got off the horse before the city lord spoke.
Seeing that Zhimahu was safe and sound, the old man hurried forward and asked excitedly.
"Lord God's Messenger, are you okay?"
"I... I'm fine, haha."
Zhimahu had an awkward but polite smile on his face. He didn't know how to deal with it, and looked at Sisi for help.
Sean also got off the horse, but he didn't mention the previous matter. He walked closer and asked.
"What happened over there? I heard that the God of the Sky..."
Sisi answered with a serious look.
"The seal has indeed loosened. The body of the God of the Sky has been eroded by evil spirits and has just crawled out of the tomb."
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and the faces of the cavalry showed difficulty.
Compared with facing the indescribable things, they were even more willing to charge towards the machine gun position.
Sean looked at her in astonishment, and the old priest looked at the "God's Messenger" beside him for help.
Seeing the look Sisi gave him, Zhimahu 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, Zhimahu 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 Wei's mouth.
Sisi coughed lightly and spoke for Zhimahu who didn't know how to answer.
"... As long as the residents here can restore their peaceful lives in the past, the chaos sweeping the desert can end."
Sean looked at her with a complicated expression, and 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 the mole, turned his face sideways and complained in a low voice.
"If this guy travels back to ancient times, he can be a charlatan at best."
"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 this is 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.
"Eh..."
...
The Skeleton Corps' base is right next to the White Bear Knights. Including the light tank that Mole picked up, sixteen tanks and more than thirty 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 is incompatible with the wall and cast iron cannon not far away.
However, in this absurd wasteland world, there is unexpectedly no sense of disobedience.
"The art director of this game is a master!" Mole, standing at the door of the base, couldn't help but sigh.
No exaggeration or slander.
It can integrate so many art styles in the same game, and it can be integrated with each other without disobedience, and it is as realistic as reality.
This skill is simply amazing!
At this time, the pilot with his helmet tucked into 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 Killer Whale 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 to 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 league 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 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 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.
"Thank you, brother... The game you made is great! It's a pity that I was pulled over to rotate 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 the surprised expression on Mole's face, Liu Yue immediately realized something and slapped his head.
"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 the real fan in front of him, Mole felt dizzy, as if he was dreaming.
Seeing that his idol did not respond, Liu Yue did not care, but just grinned.
Suddenly remembering that there was another important thing he forgot to say, he slapped his head and continued to talk about business.
"Oh, 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 that."
The most important thing was put last.
Mole was quite suspicious. If this guy didn't remember it, would he 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. He 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 go to the front line to fight.
At the request of the administrator, Mole picked two reliable brothers from the Skeleton Corps and escorted "Falling Feather" back to Qingquan City for treatment by plane.
Also escorted to the Alliance were General McLen and his adjutant and other senior officers of the Corps.
These people are bargaining chips in the armistice agreement.
As for the officers below the rank of centurion and nearly 6,000 soldiers, they will be temporarily guarded by the Hump Kingdom.
Regardless of whether the nobles of the Hump Kingdom are willing or not, they have actually been tied to the chariot of the Alliance.
At this point, even the most naive people can't imagine that there is still a chance to surrender to the Corps, and can only continue to fight with the Alliance.
Before boarding the plane, Mole gave special instructions to the two players.
"Remember to keep an eye on 'Luo Yu'."
"If that guy makes any unusual moves that threaten the safety of the plane or the prisoners, don't hold back, just kill him directly..."
As he said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Last night, he talked to Luo Yu about this matter indirectly and asked for his opinion.
When he learned that his body had been possessed by another body and might become 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!"
The mole nodded with relief and watched "Luo Yu" follow the two people onto the plane.
At this time, he suddenly saw Mosquito also walking on the plane and asked.
"What are you doing?"
Mosquito smiled shyly and said, "Hehe, I'm taking a ride home. The resurrection CD is too long to wait."
This Petra Fortress is indeed very lively and interesting, but he still prefers the atmosphere in Qingquan City. The humid air is more comfortable to smell.
Especially after seeing the Titan controlled by slime mold last night, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
He plans to try it this time when he goes back.
Mole was stunned and asked, "What the hell? Who will fly the plane when you leave?"
"Plane? Oh, you mean the one I flew when I flew here," Mosquito smiled and said, "That has been given to the mayor of Petra Fortress."
Mole was shocked: "Is this okay?"
Mosquito said generously, "Oh, what's wrong with this? That thing is not expensive! I'm in charge!"
In fact, he couldn't make the decision on 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 city lord of Petra Fortress can let the pilot come with the envoy, and after learning how to drive, he can fly the plane back directly.
Although the range of nearly 1,000 kilometers exceeds the combat radius of W-2, it is still no problem to fly one way, and you can even take some local specialties along the way.
As the longest-serving propeller plane in the Alliance, this thing can be equipped with a light machine gun for dogfighting, replaced with a heavy machine gun for licking the ground, and can be used to spread pesticides after removing the weapons, with diversified application scenarios.
Very useful!
All personnel have boarded the plane, the hatch of the Orca transport plane is closed, and it takes off from the sand dunes with two azure arcs of light, flying towards the east.
Watching the blue light disappear in the sky, Sis 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!"
The tail standing aside 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 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 Anglesey 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.
"By the way, 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 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, the LYB, would say!"
Tail looked at Sisi with a frustrated look, and the latter smiled and touched the former's head.
"Don't be depressed, I think this is more like an affirmation."
"Affirmation?"
"Well, 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?
Or 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.
...
In the early morning of three days later, 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, many things happened in these days.
The news that the Legion had 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 from the Survivor Daily, and the intercepted photos were from the nuclear explosion video shot by Tail.
When it was learned that the Legion had originally planned to secretly drop the nuclear bomb over Qingquan City, the entire Boulder City was in an uproar, and both the inner and outer cities were calling for participation in 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 gunshots when they were still holding a bottle in their mouths, 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, it is only relative.
If the militia was not firmly controlled by the city lord and the city hall had no right to declare war, I am afraid that the troops of Boulder City would have already entered the desert...
However, even if Boulder City could not be mobilized to directly participate in the war, the propaganda tool was not meaningless.
In order to support the alliance to gain more advantages on the battlefield, Boulder City Bank took the initiative to offer the alliance 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 Boulder City that was burned by the fire that was excited, but also Ideal City on the east coast. Many media also reported the news and set off an uproar on the endpoint cloud.
The most direct result is that the scale of direct aid from enterprises to the alliance has increased from 300 million Cr to 1 billion Cr, and the scale of indirect aid has 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 pilots of the alliance 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 cannot 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 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 a little "secluded".
The nuclear bomb detonated in the valley was like a brick thrown into the sea. Although it also caused a lot of waves, it was soon submerged in the bigger waves.
The king of the Hump Kingdom visited the Petra Fortress and learned the situation from the city lord.
The high priest of the kingdom also arrived with him.
When the old man in the white robe learned about Zhimahu's identity as the "God's Messenger", he immediately expressed his intention to canonize her as a saint.
At first, Zhimahu was quite interested in hearing this title. After all, which player would dislike unlocking too many titles?
However, when she learned that she could only live in the palace specially prepared for her from now on, she quickly 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 improvised a prophecy, saying that her mission had ended, and the Silver Moon Goddess summoned her back 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 keep her.
The guy didn't seem to want her to stay here all the time, but just pretended to keep her for a while, and then regretfully said that he would respect the choice of the envoy of God.
Although she failed to unlock this achievement, Zhimahu didn't feel it was a pity.
Being able to travel with her companions was the most precious treasure for her, which was far from being comparable to a title.
And from another perspective, it might be the best choice to just wave goodbye and leave a legend.
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 newbies interpret this bizarre legend?
I am quite looking forward to it...
Watching the Skeleton Corps disappearing on the horizon, Sisi, standing at the gate of the garrison, glanced at the residents and nobles who saw them off, touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Hmm... It seems that our plan needs to speed up."
The tail tilted his head.
"Plan?"
Sisi nodded.
"Yes, the plan to purchase the Golden Lion Coin."
In fact, since the victory celebration dinner that day, some people have begun to eye this business.
Including Earl Ruskin.
Many nobles in Petra Fortress also began 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 eyes of Tong Kong who saw 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 as lively as 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 was 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 consumed a lot of ammunition, especially the shells of the Iron Heart, which needed to be returned to Qingquan City for resupply.
Second, the Skeleton Corps had just set out from Oasis No. 4, and it would take some time to reach Oasis No. 9 and join the main force.
Apart from these strategic factors, part of it was for 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 celebration 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...
