My players are so fierce.

Chapter 970 969. Why did we agree to be paid as soldiers and become guerrillas behind enemy lines?
Next to Lake Delier at night, players and hunters are taking out various materials that can still be used from the fallen Shining Gold. They put as much ammunition and supplies into their psychic bags as possible. , those that cannot be loaded can only be piled in place.

These things were all combat supplies collected from Transia and sent to the halflings. It was a pity to leave them here like this. Therefore, after discussing with Captain Yala, Xugou and Maotu decided to send people to the nearby Find someone from the shield dwarf territory to come and receive it.

The shield dwarves here have been fighting the gnolls at their own mountain pass. They can also be regarded as our own allies, and sending so many supplies will definitely give the shield dwarves a good impression of the camp.

However, everyone is not ready to leave now, because Brother Qu just received an order directly from Lao Qin on the forum, and they must wait until the discussion between Brother Qu and Captain Mia is completed before they can act again.

At the other end of the lake far away from the temporary camp, Lao Qu took apart his troll hammer for necessary maintenance and whispered to Mia who was doing the same thing next to him:
"The other airships have successfully arrived near Port Chardeau, and they will arrive there in an hour. Just through the special communication channel of us foreigners, I learned from Mr. Qin that there is still a small building near the point where we fell. The gnolls we killed at the halfling factory were the guards near that factory."

"Ok?"

Captain Mia, who took apart the barrel and wiped it with a cloth, raised his head and said in surprise:
"Isn't this place already occupied by jackals? Why is there still a factory running? It's not like jackals can play with machines."

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

Brother Qu looked at Mia's eyes that were shining with blood in the dark night, and he explained:
"Master Qin estimates that halflings and locals were forced to work as slaves in that factory. Judging from the actions of the jackals in the Genoa Peninsula at this time, the factories they can leave behind are most likely to produce guns, ammunition and explosive.

If we keep this factory, it will continuously produce weapons to arm the gnolls.

Therefore, Mr. Qin hopes that we will try to destroy it on the premise of self-protection, and if possible, release those slaves.

Our expeditionary force came to support the war on the Genoa Peninsula, but Port Chardeau is not the only one in need of help on this land. When we encounter it, we can't pretend we didn't see it.

Of course, Master Qin also explained the danger of this matter.

It doesn't matter to us foreigners, death is a common occurrence for us, but you can choose to refuse to go with us. You can take Captain Yala's crew to the Polut Pass and wait for the airship that will be sent to pick you up later. "

"But even if we are taken back to Port Chardeau, we will still have to fight, right?"

Captain Mia shook her head and said:
"It's the same wherever we fight. As long as the target is a jackal, then I have no problem and my soldiers will have no problem! But if you want to act, you have to act as soon as possible. It's already midnight and there are still six hours until dawn. .

With our current team composition, the combat effectiveness of the hunters will be severely weakened after dawn. "

"Okay, let's rest for twenty minutes and then head towards the factory!"

Brother Qu made a decision and said:
"We have three dragoons as the vanguard. Ordinary jackals can't stop us. If everything goes well during the surprise attack, the battle will probably be over at dawn."

"Ah."

Mia nodded, and then silently began to assemble the firearms that had been maintained. Brother Qu scratched his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what topic to start with. After much deliberation, after hesitating for half a minute, When he saw Mia was about to leave, he said:

"I'm sorry about North and Papel."

"Ok?"

Mia looked at Brother Qu in surprise and said:

"My friends died in a war defending their country. They died with honor and were posthumously awarded the title of defender of Transia. Their families can enjoy the honor in their hometown for this life. You and There is no need to feel sorry for this, Major Qu.

In fact, I would also like to thank you for training us, otherwise, we would never have the courage to fight the enemy to the last moment in that situation."

"That's why I'm sorry. I should have trained you more carefully."

Lao Qu whispered:
"To tell you the truth, at that time I just regarded you as cannon fodder. This was my true thought. It was not until I completed that dangerous sniper attack with you that I truly realized that there is actually no difference between the two of us.

We are all just born in different worlds, but we are the same. Whether it is feelings or sadness, these emotions are all common.

I was young and had not experienced the grief of a loved one passing away, so I can't imagine how you talk yourself through it after what happened. I'm sorry that I was thousands of miles away when you needed me.

But...how can I say, I'm quite happy to see you safe and sound. "

"Hey, why do you think I've walked out?"

Captain Mia shook her head and said:
"I'm still not used to the daylight, and every drowsy moment in the sun brings me back to that time of despair. I've heard some of you say that veterans who have experienced tragedies on the battlefield have similar feelings. Disease, and my illness is obviously more serious, not only the body, but also the mind.

Thank you for your concern, Major Qu.

But it's not your fault and you don't have to blame yourself. "

"That is to say, if I had been here at that time, you wouldn't have to suffer so much now."

Laoqu also wanted to take the opportunity to say something more disgusting, but his thick skin before became strangely thin now. He could only say something dryly, and then he picked up his troll hammer and stood in front of Mia. Later he returned to the temporary camp.

Until he saw other people, he couldn't say what he was hiding in his heart.

"You are such a coward! Laoqu, you are a fucking loser and a worthless thing!"

Brother Qu cursed himself fiercely in his heart.

He could feel that Mia actually had a good impression of him, otherwise she would not have accepted the special anti-large creature rifle as a gift from him. But the problem was, as Xiaoshou had commented before, two sensitive people would not be able to interact with each other in this kind of situation. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to go further. After all, Laoqu didn't think he was as shameless as Niu Niu.

After all, he was in his thirties, and the last bit of dignity left by an old man who had been in society did not allow him to do the things that only young people would do.

When Captain Mia conveyed the next mission to the soldiers, Brother Qu tried to calm down. When he heard that everyone was going to destroy the Jackal slave factory and rescue the poor halflings, all the players Suddenly I was eager to try again.

They are very eager to ride the mighty dragoons into the battlefield and complete classic battles again and again, but Captain Yala is very opposed to this action. It is not that she is unwilling to help her people, mainly because she feels that such a small number of people are needed to fight. A well-guarded factory would certainly not end well.

The two sides were in a stalemate until 20 minutes later, when the players were about to leave, several very powerful snow-capped mountain griffons circled and fell from the sky.

This is the arrival of the shield dwarves from Polut Pass.

The two of them vigilantly scouted on horseback. After confirming the situation below, these hill dwarves, who looked no different from the brass dwarves but were more stubborn, landed on the ground.

"We are Lord Heather's comrades!"

Laoqu stepped forward and dispelled the doubts of the shield dwarves with one sentence.

For this special dwarf clan with a small population, Lord Heather's name is known to every shield dwarf.

"Then tell us quickly, what's going on with Aunt Heather?"

The leader of the shield dwarf air cavalry stepped forward and shouted. You can tell from the name that this guy and Heather are related. Considering that Heather was born in the Hoffman family, the hereditary shield dwarf lord, the shield dwarf in front of him should be the same. A member of the lord's family, so Lao Qu made a weird dwarf etiquette, and then said in a deep voice:
"Lord Heather is still alive. She released the seal in her body with her fearless spirit and saved many people. Our lord, the Governor of Transia, Lord Murphy, Lord Heather's kinsman and friend, is doing his best to try to save own friends.

He has a candle in his hand.

As long as that thing is still burning, it proves that Lord Heather is still alive.

The shield dwarves are friends of Transia, and we are currently setting off to attack the gnoll slave factory. These supplies are prepared for Port Shardau. If we cannot take them away, please send someone to receive them. "

"Ha, we just need these combat supplies."

The shield dwarf was relieved when he heard that Heather was still alive, and he was happy when he heard that these Transians were going to give gifts to Polut Pass. He complained:

"Since the fall of the Brass Fortress, many unfaithful dwarves have come to our territory. Some people were frightened, but others are still planning to take back their ruins. We are already under great pressure to supply supplies to so many people. , the jackals nearby have been harassing our border.

This batch of supplies came just in time, and the clan leader will definitely be very happy. But you said you are going to attack that factory?

I advise you not to go. There are a lot of gnolls there, because that factory produces explosives, and the gnoll generals need those things to help them fight the war.

The people gathered there are all elites. We have investigated before and found that there are at least two thousand filthy gnolls and a terrifying number of kobold servants there. "

"so much?"

Brother Qu was startled, but then he asked:
"What is a Dirty Gnoll? I have never heard of this title before."

"These are the jackals you killed. They are bastards from the Bone-gnawing clan. I don't know where they learned the magic. They can use some very dirty power and can desecrate corpses to create monsters."

The shield dwarf curled his lips and said:

"That's what we called them after fighting them a few times."

"You just said that the defense pressure at Borut Pass is also very high, right? Then you also need more explosives to protect your territory."

The rabbit next to him suddenly said:

"Otherwise? You send your gryphon knights to support us from the sky. After taking the factory, the explosives storage there will be yours. You can even directly occupy the factory to produce enough weapons and ammunition for you.

The Genoa Peninsula is in such chaos now, you can't be trapped in the Polut Pass without making preparations! "

"Yes, as long as you dispatch your air cavalry."

Xu Gou was beside him and said:

"We will fight the ground war. You blow them up first, then you can retreat and wait for the dividends. It's simple and enjoyable."

"Our vampire hunters can help attack from the air."

Captain Mia also said:
"I have heard Master Kudel say before that the shield dwarves are the best flying clan among the dwarves except the frost dwarves. You have tamed many griffins on the snowy mountains, and our vampires are enough to form aerial suppression.

Unless this factory is knocked down, your territory will continue to be harassed. "

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

Lao Qu said something politely.

But this description was so vivid that the young shield dwarf hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying:
"I have to go back and report to the clan leader. I'm not sure I can convince him. Outsiders say that we shield dwarves are very stubborn, and we are indeed so."

The dwarf wanted to go back and report, but Captain Yala, who had been silent next to him, said after thinking over and over:

"Hey, shield dwarf of the Hoffman family, there is something you have to tell your clan leader. There is a hidden subway station under the factory we are going to, which can lead directly to the vicinity of Port Chardeau. The jackals have been there all the time. The activity there was probably an attempt to reopen the subway passage that had been blocked.

Therefore, this place also has a certain strategic value. If you can occupy it, it will allow Polut Pass to reconnect with Port Chardeau. In this way, your pressure will be much less. "

"What? What did you say?"

Xu Gou and Mao Rabbit were both dumbfounded.

Brother Gou asked loudly:

"What subway station? Is it so awesome? When people in other parts of the mainland are still riding horses, you short guys are starting to work on the subway? Is it so outrageous?"

"What's so outrageous about this? We can put rails in the mountains and run steam trains on them. Wouldn't it surprise you to dig them out of the ground?"

Captain Yara sighed.

She glanced around and said reluctantly:

"That subway track is a confidential project of the Steam Lords Council. It was once one of the secret safe routes used to transport gold-burning creations to the Brass Fortress. Only the official personnel of Port Chardeau know that secret."

"Then how did you know?"

Captain Mia narrowed her eyes and looked at the "cowardly" captain, and she said:
"You are just a contractor under Captain Paula. You shouldn't know this unless you have a hidden identity. Tell me, Your Excellency Yala, who are you?"

"Member of the Thieves Guild."

Yara sighed and said:
"Because the Transians bought a large number of airships in a short period of time in Shardor Harbor and were suspected of being involved in black market trade, the Steam Lords Council sent me to infiltrate the Perfect Shipping Company to gather intelligence. However, I had just joined the Perfect Shipping Company when the war broke out. The situation on the Genoa Peninsula then suddenly changed, making it impossible for me to perform my duties.

My identity was revealed.

But now that Port Chardeau cannot be saved, it would be a bit disgraceful to talk about it.

In short, the subway station under the factory is very important. This news should be able to convince the shield dwarves to help. Don't look at me with that look. I just stopped you because I really didn't want to see you die in vain, but now with the help of the shield dwarf, it's different.

I have an ID card that can open the blockade of the subway station and allow you to quickly travel across the battlefield to an underground center near Port Chardeau, but we have to walk the rest of the way on our own.

At this time, there is no subway that can go directly to the city of Port-Chardeau. "

"So, you have developed so many black technologies, why don't you point out war technologies?"

Brother Qu said helplessly:

"With the technological power you have shown, even if you invest one-tenth of your resources in the military, you will not be beaten to the point of annihilation by the jackals within a few months. I really don't understand what you are thinking."

"Halfling technology is not used for killing! This is the common principle of all halflings. It is precisely because we know what terrible consequences those technologies will have once they are used for killing, that we have chosen to Blocking the exodus of technology.”

Captain Yala said seriously:
"You may think we are stupid, but the various races on the mainland can spend these hundreds of years in peace thanks to us for not abusing technology!"

"Other races on the continent are suffering from the Black Disaster, Yara."

The shield dwarf said loudly:
"Only you halflings have enjoyed peace for nearly a thousand years! But now, you have also been involved in the war. Your outdated methods can no longer protect you. It is time to change."

Yara did not retort or answer.

The halfling captain just looked at the three dragoon walkers parked by the lake with a sad and complicated look.

She knew what this thing was, and her previous timidity and anger were just to hide her identity.

She knows that the war weapons forged from despair and death are the result of the outflow of halfling technology. Alas, the development of technology should benefit the world. Unfortunately, most people will first use it to destroy each other when they get it. war.

This world is so ugly.
