This game is too real.

Chapter 496 "Reunion" after a century and a half

In the open wilderness on all sides, there is a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The tunnels with a total length of 15.7 kilometers are connected with concrete bunkers and trenches. Hemispherical rotating armored turrets, anti-aircraft gun positions, anti-tank gun positions, and heavy machine gun positions are all available.

This is the largest military base of the Legion in the No. 2 Oasis. It is called Fort Horn. It was built by General Klass, the previous commander-in-chief of the Legion in Luoxia Province.

It claims to be able to station a million-scale army!

In order to meet the huge material demand of the fortress, General Klass not only arranged for the construction of a diversion channel from the nearby embankment to the fortress, but also built a spacious six-lane road on all sides of the fortress.

Supplies to Fort Horn can be transported by water, by road, or by air by plane or airship.

And once the No. 2 oasis encounters the threat of invasion, the troops stationed in this fortress and the supplies hoarded can also be transported to the front line by road in the shortest time.

But now.

This well-connected fortress was completely blocked.

Instead of storming the fort, the Alliance's skeleton army watched them retreat into the fort, and then cut off the aqueduct leading to the fort.

It stands to reason that a fortress of this size would at least have enough reserves for an army of one million to consume for more than three years. However, in Griffin's original plan, he never thought that this military base would one day be used as a defensive fortress.

Coupled with the tense battle situation on the front line, most of the materials were sent to the front line, and the domestic production surplus of the Falcon Kingdom was not enough to complete the material reserves for this fortress.

And this also resulted in the [-] troops withdrawing to the fortress with less than two months of food surplus, and the supply of fresh water was also in jeopardy.

But this is not the most deadly.

What really kills is the lack of ammunition.

The nearest William industrial area has been occupied by the alliance army, and the supplies sent from the direction of Triumph City probably won't reach them.

With the exception of Griffin and those not-so-intelligent clones, any Villant could feel that they were standing on the edge of a precipice...

"I heard that the Arbiter is coming."

"...Why the Judgment? Shouldn't an offensive airship be sent over?"

"I heard that His Majesty the Marshal has no plans to use troops to the east of the Great Desert. The world across the sea, the extreme north, and the wilderness to the south are more important than the land thousands of miles away. The last expedition was General Klass's solo journey. ..."

"how so……"

"No wonder... until now we haven't waited for reinforcements."

The whispers of soldiers can be heard everywhere in the barracks.

Sitting at the door of the tent and eating a boxed lunch, the Zhandi guy silently wrote it down, planning to post it on the forum as a fun today.

His job is simple these days.

The main thing is to mark the supply location in this fortress, wait for the bombs to fall from the sky, and then make an assessment report on the results of the Goblin Corps' air strikes.

It is not easy to lock the warehouses where the supplies are stored, especially now that there is a serious shortage of supplies, and the supplies in short supply have been stored in a scattered manner, and they will be pulled and questioned as soon as they get close to the nearby areas.

This is not something that can be explained clearly by saying "sorry for going to the wrong place".

As a "non-Willanter," the Warfield is pretty self-aware about his nose, and certainly wouldn't do something that conspicuously.

Besides, there is no need for that.

It is still very easy to find a canteen and a mobile kitchen if you can't find a supply warehouse.

Just throwing a [-]-kilogram aerial bomb nearby when those Willant people were eating was enough to blow up all the pots, pans and people in line.

As for the assessment of the results of air strikes, it is easier.

He didn't even need to go to the scene to confirm, he just listened to what the other Willant people were yelling at and it was over.

Thanks for this.

His human language is now more and more like the accent in the west of the Great Desert.

However, this trick has not worked well recently.

The frequent visits of the alliance's planes made the Willant people suspect that there were drones taking aerial photos in the sky. They not only took pictures with signal jamming guns every now and then, but also canceled centralized dining and changed it to "takeaway delivery".

I don't know which genius came up with the idea.

The Zhandi guy can't help but give that guy a thumbs up...

Sitting next to the battlefield atmosphere group, Penny's face was a little haggard, and her brows were filled with sorrow.Staring at the lunch box in her hand, she was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke.

"General Griffin has been assassinated."

The warrior who was stuffing bread into his mouth was almost choked, and it took a lot of effort to restrain his character who was not too harsh.

"...Assassinated?!"

"Well...someone planted explosives under his chair, and if he hadn't been a few minutes late this morning, the Corporate and Alliance assassins would have almost gotten there."

Zhandi said in his heart that it may not be that the people of the alliance want him to die, at least the administrator has never given him the order to assassinate the middle and high level of the army.

"... Has the assassin caught it?"

"No."

Penny took a deep breath, put her head in her hands, ran her fingers through her hair, and whispered a prayer with her lips parted.

"...I hope nothing will happen."

What she was worried about was not Griffin's safety, but the future direction of this war.

Because the sudden change in Falcon City was too sudden, she was not prepared at all, and she had no time to leave the front line, so she could only retreat here with the large army.

Hope not to be caught by the Alliance...

The barracks itself is a place full of violence, especially on the front line closest to death.As a reporter for the Triumph newspaper, she was well aware of what the Willante had done to other survivors on the front line, and it was not surprising how the Willante's enemies hated them.

The Willant people who fell into the hands of the natives usually did not end well. She had seen photos from her colleagues...it was simply cruel.

Even thinking about it makes people shudder.

The battlefield guy wanted to comfort her casually. There is nothing to worry about being captured by the alliance. The discipline of the alliance is so much higher than that of the legion.

Let alone prisoners.

He didn't touch the few slaves sent to his tent before, for fear of breaking the article about "forced" sex in the player's handbook.

But when he thought about it, he was an undercover agent, and it seemed inappropriate to say good things about the "enemy", so he changed his words again when it came to his lips.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Caught off guard by the words, her cheeks flushed, and the corners of Penny's mouth curled up into a smile unconsciously.

This guy usually talks as little as a log, but he always pops out a sentence or two that makes people blush and heartbeat.

She has heard a lot of similar things, even more beautiful rhetoric than this, but those men often just say it verbally, and even just after finishing their nasty vows, they turned around and got into the tent where a foreign woman was kept in captivity... ...and instead of making her feel any safer, it just makes her feel sick.

But this man named pangolin is completely different.

He is stronger than some Willanters, but he doesn't have the arrogance, rudeness and a series of bad habits of the Willanters.

Just like his simple and wild name, his pure heart is like snow on a high mountain. His life is only loyal to His Majesty the Marshal, loyal to the command of the chief, and the glory of being a soldier.

Even though everyone was confused about the future and frustrated with the status quo, there was hardly a hint of frustration on his face.

Even at this juncture when the battle is about to be defeated, he can still say the phrase "it's all right with me" calmly.

Only when she heard this sentence from his mouth, she could feel the sincerity without a trace of falsehood.

"...Thank you, I am very happy to have your words, but your sword should belong to His Majesty the Marshal, so you don't have to hesitate for me."

Gently tossing her dark brown hair, Penny said in a proud voice.

"Willanters are natural fighters, men and women, and I'll take care of myself."

General Griffin is still somewhat famous in Triumph City.

No matter how bad the situation is, she thinks it won't be so bad...

Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

The Zhandi guy didn't say anything, but nodded, but he was digesting the huge amount of information in his heart.

Griffin was assassinated? !
what's the situation……

At this moment, two people came not far away.

One of them was Kerway, and the other was Kerway's immediate superior, and also his immediate superior after he was transferred to the officer corps—Mr.

Walking in front of the two, Verich looked at Penny who was sitting on the steps, and said in a gentlemanly tone.

"Sorry ma'am, I have something to discuss with the pangolin, can I take a moment of his time?"

Penny stood up and smiled politely.

"It's okay, please go ahead."

Perhaps seeing that there was something important to discuss, Penny didn't stay here, but walked away wisely.

Verich glanced at the back of Penny leaving, and then looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he looked at Kerway.

"Come on."

"Okay sir..." Kerway nodded with a complicated expression, then looked at the battlefield atmosphere team who stood up, and said in a hesitant tone, "Let's go in and talk."

The field guy nodded and followed the two of them into the tent.

He didn't know why a commander of thousands and a commander of ten thousand wanted to find himself, a small officer adviser, but from the expression on Kerway's face, he could feel that something big was about to happen.

And [-]% of it has something to do with me!
"...What's the matter?" Looking at Kerway, who hadn't spoken for a long time, the Zhandi guy took the initiative to ask.

"This morning, General Griffin was assassinated during the morning meeting."

The field guy held his breath for a moment.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, he immediately showed a worried expression while his thoughts turned.

"I just heard... the general is okay."

"It doesn't matter." Coleway shook his head.

Before Comrade Pangolin could hypocritically say 'That's good', he continued with a complicated expression, "...but that's the problem."

Battlefield guy: "...???"

"That's enough, let me do it."

Seeing that Kerway was still going around in circles, Verich couldn't wait, took the conversation from him, and continued talking while staring at the native who didn't speak much.

"Let me just say it, Griffin betrayed His Majesty the Marshal, and the appearance of the Arbiter on the front line is the best proof!"

The field man held his breath.

He felt that such an association seemed a bit far-fetched, but when he thought about the situation of these people at the moment, he understood everything in an instant.

Griffin's arbitrariness drove these mid-level officers to a dead end.

Now they're going to do the same...

"...what do you need me to do?"

Verich stared intently into his eyes.

"I need to confirm your loyalty to His Majesty the Marshal, look into my eyes and tell me, are you loyal?"

loyalty?

That must be done!
Still not aware of the seriousness of the matter, he thought it was the Zhandi who had triggered the branch, and reflexively raised three fingers.

"My loyalty to His Majesty the Marshal can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

Colway's gaze drifted to the side.

"Very good," Verich nodded in relief, looked at the pangolin and continued, "Now, the time has come for you to be loyal to His Majesty!"

……

That night.

"Wasteland OL" forum.

"In short...that's how it happened. The captain of the 5th team hopes that I will kill Griffin."

The battlefield atmosphere group briefly described what happened.

Including the low morale in the Horn Fort fortress in the past two days, the fluctuating hearts of the soldiers, the air raids that made people doubt their lives, and so on.

Tail: "Oh! Do you want to fight the boss? (ω)"

Fujiteng: "Kelway, he... woohoo, damn it, he hit it. (ω)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "Knock a ghost!!!"

Night Ten: "Exciting. (Funny)"

Lao Bai: "Isn't it a good thing to say? Kill Griffin, and his adjutant will take over. Maybe he just raised the white flag and voted. (Show teeth)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "What a hammer! The manager asked me to be an undercover agent in the legion, but didn't let me kill Griffin."

Kuangfeng: "Well, indeed... If you can get rid of Griffin without anyone noticing, that's fine, but once someone catches you, even if everyone thanks you, you'll have to be punished on the spot. "

Irena: "Not necessarily, depending on the progress of the strategy, Kerway may give you a chance to run by yourself. (Funny)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "Hey! What about my power armor?"

Ye Shi: "Then I have to ask the dog to plan it. (Funny)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "How about this, you can directly transfer Griffin's itinerary to us, and we will help you, once and for all, and the cure will be cured. (smirk)"

Fang Chang: "Convenience is convenience, and pangolins are really hammered by senior agents. (Slanting eyes)"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "The key is whether Griffin's death is good for the alliance."

Fang Chang: "After a rational analysis, the 5 people who are willing to surrender are of course the best result, but in terms of the weight of the chips, the [-] army surrounded by water and food shortages is obviously more important than the captured [-] army. value."

Spring Water Commander: "+1, so for the sake of maximum benefit, if you plan to do it, it's best after the negotiation has a result. (squint eyes)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "I'm so cracked! TT"

It's really hard to be an undercover agent!
……

Chu Guang naturally noticed the discussion on the forum, but he did not give new instructions to "Comrade Pangolin".

At this point, no matter whether Griffin is dead or alive, the league will not lose money, it's just the difference between winning more and winning less.

Therefore, he gave the battlefield atmosphere group full autonomy in decision-making.

If you want to continue acting as an undercover agent, then put in some effort to act more. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. For a long time in the future, it will be difficult for them to have a large-scale military conflict with the Legion. With so many High-value information, this undercover agent can be regarded as a complete success.

Just when the warlord was in a dilemma, the airship from Triumph City had already arrived at the western suburbs of Falcon City, and anchored at a distance of only [-] kilometers from the nearest embankment.

The two airships confronted each other.

The atmosphere was tense for a while!

Looking at the huge monster above his head, King Menggot kept praying in his heart, hoping that this thing would not fall.

Or don't smash your own castle even if you fall.

Fortunately, the situation that the old man was worried about did not happen. Neither the Legion nor the Alliance took the lead in firing the first shot.

Obviously, not only he and the nobles around him don't want to continue fighting, but also the legion far west of the desert doesn't want to fight anymore...

Standing at the west gate of Falcon City with a group of players, Chu Guang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the elevator slowly descending in the distance.

"It seems that the Legion has two brushes."

Along with the elevator, it is a four-legged robot with a height of three floors. Its cuboid body and hoof-shaped feet look like a mule with its head buried in the distance. It is similar to the Empire in "Star Wars". Walking machines are slightly similar.

However, this thing is not a means of transportation. The 200mm cannon towering above the head emits a cold light under the scorching sun.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the chimney with a diameter of tens of centimeters.

It is like a walking locomotive. The huge steel body perfectly interprets the violent aesthetics of the Willant people. The towering chimney swallows black smoke, driving the powerful limbs to move forward slowly.

The ancient internal combustion engine power and the epoch-making avant-garde design are organically combined on him, just like the surreal diesel punk, every frame of the picture is a work of art.

Not surprisingly, it should have deflector shields and even anti-gravity devices on its body, and the energy source of these advanced devices should be precious nuclear fusion batteries... It can be seen that the Legion has indeed inherited a lot of pre-war civilizations. thing.

Even if it's just parts.

And this thing also gave Chu Guang a feeling of déjà vu, as if it was an improved version of the "Titan" in the Lost Valley.

"Fuck..."

Looking at the huge monster, Ye Shi, who was wearing a light cavalry exoskeleton, couldn't help swallowing, and muttered.

"What the hell is this?"

Compared to the surprise of the players, Earl Cromway's already dead heart rekindled his confidence in the Willanters, and he couldn't stop muttering.

"Bison! It's a bison!"

"Bison" all-terrain armored walker!
Diesel and Fusion hybrid war monster!

I heard that this thing is called a "quadruped train gun" in the west of the desert. A 200mm cannon equipped with an automatic loader can crazily pour the firepower of an artillery brigade into the target area within 1 minute!

It can not only be used as supporting equipment, but also replace tanks as the vanguard of attack. The combination of deflector shield and aerospace alloy is enough to resist all direct or indirect firepower.

As long as tens of thousands of these land mechas attack the alliance at the same time, plus the crowd of clones charging...

All decline will be reversed!

But Cromway's head obviously didn't turn the corner, why only one "Bison" appeared here.

Chu Guang knew.

The governor from Triumph City is giving himself a blow.

In order to install this thing on the airship, the Legion had to dismantle twenty cannons to make room for it, and to make this thing unleashed with full firepower, it would have to build an industrial park in the desert first.

So he didn't panic at all, and didn't care about the giant steel beast in front of him at all.

The quadruped robot moved forward slowly with heavy steps, and stopped less than 500 meters away from the river embankment.

I saw it slowly bent its four legs forward, pressing its boxy body on the weedy wheat field.

Surrounded by a group of tall and burly elites, a man with a protruding nose stepped out of the cabin door and stopped in front of Chu Guang.

"Your Excellency is the manager of the alliance?"

After opening the mask of the power armor, Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"you are?"

"Korn," the man raised his chin slightly, and continued, "The Governor of Luoxia Province appointed by His Majesty the Marshal."

The five-star ten thousand commander is second only to the legion chief who is under one person and above ten thousand people. If he wants to go further, he can only leave the territory of the legion and expand the territory for the legion.

In fact, the five-star ten thousand commander is already a quasi-army commander in the legion itself.

The reason why Klass launched the expedition was to a large extent to be able to go one step further and be promoted to the head of the No.5 legion.

Chu Guang stared at Cohen for a second, and briefly reported his family history.

"Chu Guang, the manager of Vault 404, is also the manager of the Alliance."

The strength of this five-star ten thousand captain is not outstanding, it is only at the level of ordinary people, but the more than 20 Willant people behind him are all powerful awakeners without exception!
According to the algorithm of Vault 404, their level should be at least level 30, and the strengthening direction should be in the two aspects of muscle and reflex nerve.

The strongest one might be level 40!
Of course, this is just how he feels.

And the strength of the body doesn't explain everything, the green-skinned mutants are still level 30 per capita, and they are also beaten down by the novice players.

While Chu Guang was looking at Cohen, Cohen was also observing him.

However, what Cohen couldn't see through was that the legendary manager of the alliance was no less powerful than the soldiers behind him.

Could it be that even the managers of the alliance are awakened?
Cohen, who realized this, was surprised.

Although some drugs can help the untalented people squeeze out the potential in the genetic code and thus forcibly awaken them, almost no high-ranking person will choose to take this path.

There are many ways to prolong life, and there is absolutely no need to take this path.

Compared with the increased lifespan and physical functions, awakening not only has many side effects, but also has uncontrollable risks at the genetic level.

No one knows what will happen after 100% awakening.

This is the "singularity" that the era of prosperity has not yet completed.

Restraining the contempt in his eyes, Cohen looked at the crazy guy in front of him and said in a joking tone.

"..."Triumph" described you as a three-headed and six-armed beast, but I didn't expect you to be a young man."

Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.

"Young man, it is impossible, but I am not as old as your marshal."

Cohen chuckled, with a cold look in his eyes.

Chu Guang looked at him with a smile on his face, not weak at all.

While watching the excitement, the players standing not far away whispered in the communication channel how many levels the boss is, and how many levels the elite monsters behind him are.

King Montgomery and a group of nobles, who were further away, were sweating nervously, fearing that these two guys would suddenly kill each other.

The probability of this is actually very small.

But by no means nothing.

At this moment, blue lights flickered in the distance, and under the escort of ten Orca orca transport planes flew towards this side one after the other.

They took off from Bicester Town and planned to land in the square in front of the castle, but they obviously saw that this side is more lively, so they flew over.

Looking at the ten Yunfly flappers, Chu Guang couldn't help smacking his lips secretly.

Good guy.

During the entire war, the enterprise supported him with less than ten orthopters!

As soon as they heard that the old enemies from the west had come to negotiate a ceasefire, these guys took out the treasures at the bottom of the box!

However, this is also a good thing for the league.

The more bargaining chips they have, the more they have to weigh the consequences of the breakdown of the negotiation.

Sure enough, there was a trace of solemnity on Cohen's face.

Especially after seeing the Enterprise Orca dropship.

"Plasma engine..."

The guys on the east coast even directly abandoned the more advanced anti-gravity devices, and instead used cheap and cheap "outdated technology".

It's hard to say that this is not aimed at the epoch-making equipment inherited by the Legion, including the "Phase Cannon".

It seems that people on the east coast have never forgotten what happened a century and a half ago. They talk about letting go of the past and facing the future, but they always regard them as imaginary enemies in their hearts.

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not express anything.

Escorted by the orca-wing plane, the killer whale transport plane landed steadily on the golden wheat field, and the light blue plasma plume was drawn back along with the conical nozzle.

From the opened hatch, a group of heavily armed soldiers and a middle-aged man came out.

Chu Guang unexpectedly discovered that the person who came was not Yi Chuan, but Wu Changnian, the deputy director of the General Management Department who had greeted the alliance delegation in Ideal City before!
I saw the middle-aged man with his hair neatly combed back three to seven, and a long silver-gray gown that was as straight as a mirror.There is no wrinkle on his body from head to toe, nor is there a kind smile on his face when he is in front of the camera.

It is more than 3000 kilometers from Ideal City to Qingquan City, and it is no less than [-] kilometers to get here... Chu Guang calculated, this trip is really far enough.

Staring intently at Cohen standing not far away, Wu Changnian directly ignored the war machine not far away and the airship in the distance, and led a group of soldiers behind him to stop near the crowd.

"...I am Wu Changnian, deputy director of the General Management Department. On behalf of the company's Supreme Council, I have lodged a solemn representation with you, asking you to release the Pioneer and its crew immediately!"

"Otherwise, your actions will be regarded as a provocation to the ancient contract, and we will no longer hold back!"

Looking at the angry middle-aged man, Cohen said indifferently.

"You also arrested many of us."

Instead of being angry, Wu Changnian laughed, hehe.

"As long as you know."

Cohn's eyes narrowed.

The atmosphere on both sides was like gasoline barrels with matches floating, as if a single spark could ignite the entire wheat field.

The tense atmosphere was even stronger than when the Legion and the Alliance confronted each other before!

Chu Guang suddenly found that he seemed to have become a little transparent.

Neither that Cohen nor that Wu Changnian set their sights on him, but stared straight at each other.

But that's fine.

Chu Guang hoped that they would never care about themselves.

The grievances and entanglements of a century and a half ago had nothing to do with him, and he was even less interested in getting involved.

He just wanted to get his share.

At the same time, it is also the one that belongs to everyone in the alliance.

At this time, another ray of light appeared in the northeast direction.

Cohen frowned slightly, and Wu Changnian, who was looking at him, did the same. They both looked over there in unison.

I saw a long shuttle-shaped aircraft approaching the edge of the river embankment at a speed of nearly one Mach, and then two clusters of flickering arcs were ejected from the bottom, and it stopped suddenly in the air with incredible acceleration.

However, there is probably something wrong.

The long shuttle-shaped aircraft failed to stop the car, and fell straight to the wheat field below, and the rear half of its buttocks shoveled directly on the ground.

Fortunately, this is a wheat field outside the city, with soft soil and wheat ears as a buffer, but the aircraft was not crashed and scrapped.

The guard behind him wanted to step forward to block Cohen, but was stopped by the latter raising his hand.

"No need."

The shape of this aircraft...

He always felt a little familiar.

As if to confirm his guess, a door opened on the side of the aircraft.

I saw a middle-aged man in a uniform with a white background and blue border, holding on to the door frame, and forced himself to come out calmly.

"Cough! I'm a little late..."

Behind him were two bionic bodyguards.

Obviously different from the bionics of the enterprise, they are closer to pure tools—or weapons, in terms of shape and temperament.

"Who are you?" Cohen frowned.

"My humble Li Ke, a B-level researcher of the academy, you are the representative of the legion, right?" Li Ke showed a friendly smile on his face, cleared his throat and continued, "Everyone is tired after fighting for so long, right? , let’s sit down and talk.”

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Or……

There was such a slight embarrassment.

Li Ke himself obviously felt it too, so he looked around anxiously for a while.

Finally, he found the man in the blue power armor, and immediately cast a look there for help.

Of course Chu Guang saw this guy, after all he invited him, but he was still a little puzzled.

The guy hadn't had contact with Cohen enough to understand.

After all, he just got off the airship when he arrived in Luoxia Province.

However, what he didn't understand was how even the people in the company were so dumbfounded by this guy's arrival, as if they hadn't expected it at all.

Suddenly, Chu Guang suddenly realized something.

Could it be that Comrade Li Ke never had a phone call with anyone from the company?
It's just unilaterally contacting Griffin and himself who are facing each other on the front line...

Chu Guang was shocked when he realized this.

Good guy.

Spend the least amount of money to do the biggest thing.

This brother is talented!

The identity of this person has been seen from the long shuttle-shaped aircraft, but Wu Changnian just didn't understand why the people from the academy were here.

The board of directors had not discussed this matter, and he was not good at arbitrarily deciding on the diplomatic stance with the academy by himself, so he coughed lightly and said ambiguously.

"College... a rare visitor."

As for Cohen's reaction, it was completely different, and it could even be described as unceremonious.

Staring coldly at the B-level researcher who was standing there laughing awkwardly, he mocked in a sarcastic voice.

"Tired? Hehe, do you think we are slugs born in the swamp?"

"Whether we continue to fight or not is none of your business."
