While the Iron Heart was venting its anger towards the deserted city, the official forum in another world was bustling with activity.
Almost as soon as they went offline, the Death Corps players who participated in the raid could not wait to bring the first-hand battle reports from the front to the official website.
In addition to reporting the results of the battle, these first players who tried the trick also published their practical experience and test impressions of the "Wolf Cavalry" tactics.
Rainy Night Thirteenth Lang: "Damn, it's awesome!"
Midnight with an umbrella but no knife: "666!"
Sheep and Bao: "Trash is awesome! (broken voice)"
Laplace: "No exaggeration, except for his not very smart brain, our Trash has almost no shortcomings!"
Madam, you don't want it either: "It can't be better! There is no mount more perfect than Trash!"
Garbage Picker Level 99: "???"
Edge Pad: "Ahem, you guys can yell in private, but restrain yourself in front of Trash."
Tail: "Damn, Tail wants to raise one too! QAQ"
Sisi: "Isn't Awei riding Rourou anymore?"
Tail: "Only children do multiple-choice questions, Awei of course wants them all! ψ(`?′)ψ"
Currently, there are 17 Death Claws with mind interference devices installed in Shelter No. 79, and almost all of them are assigned to the Death Corps.
In the ambush last night, almost all the seventeen wolf cavalrymen were dispatched, and the results were quite gratifying, which lived up to the expectations of the managers.
Twenty cavalrymen against the Centurion and ten legion elites.
It took less than three minutes from the exchange of fire to the end, and the opponent had almost no effective resistance, and was defeated by the charge of the wolf cavalry.
Practice has proved that this outdated cavalry tactic, although it sounds unreliable, combined with the biological technology and tactical concepts of the new era, has produced a miraculous effect like a chemical reaction in the wasteland.
The high close combat and high mobility of the Death Claw, coupled with the medium and short-range long-range firepower of the players, this "Orc-in-One" style of play is almost invincible in rugged terrain, especially in urban terrain!
Especially when facing soft targets without armor protection and lack of mobility, those infantrymen who rely on cover shooting are almost live targets for the Death Claws to hunt.
Of course, although the DPS of the Death Claw is very high, the role of the players on the battlefield cannot be ignored.
For example, in the ambush last night.
Not only the Death Claws showed their prowess, but also the light weapons designed by Goblin Technology for the "Wolf Cavalry".
Among them, the most outstanding performances are undoubtedly two, one is the LD-50 carbine, and the other is the "Whirlwind" grenade launcher!
The former looks similar to the AK-74U, but it is improved based on the LD-47 assault rifle. The ammunition it uses is still 7mm full-power bullets, but the overall structure is more compact than the assault rifle, and the power and stability are slightly stronger than the submachine gun.
Its design concept is not to let the cavalry fire and kill the enemy on the back of the Death Claw, but to allow the cavalry to "dismount" and cooperate with the Death Claws with strong melee ability and keen sense of smell to enter the building and clear out the remaining enemies.
However, practice has proved that although the output environment is not good when firing on the back of the Death Claw, it is not completely without output.
At least for LV20 agile players, as long as they grasp the timing of firing and are familiar with the weapon, they can still hit the target behind the bunker while moving.
At the same time, the wolf cavalry has almost no need to dismount to fight, and the most efficient way to fight is to retreat after charging a round.
As for clearing the remaining enemies in the building.
It can be completely handed over to other infantrymen of the Death Corps. These people are all masters of street fighting and are good at using cheap weapons to save costs.
As for another equipment built for the wolf cavalry, the "Whirlwind" grenade launcher, it was imitated by Goblin Technology based on the real MGL revolver grenade launcher.
The shape of this thing is like a large revolver.
The design of its revolver cylinder allows it to fire multiple grenades in a short period of time, pouring out huge firepower to form a suppression effect, and covering the cavalry to quickly break through the defense line.
As the world's largest-produced 40mm grenade launcher, MGL is roughly equivalent to the AK in grenade launchers and the RPG in rocket launchers. Its stability and output capacity are very popular among civilian armed forces, and imitation versions are numerous, so Mosquito did not hesitate to copy it into its own product list.
In order to facilitate rapid production, Mosquito has also made certain improvements to some of the weapon's structures. For example, the most prominent change is to change the 40mm caliber to 37mm.
However, although the caliber of the weapon has been reduced by 3mm, its power is not small at all, and it is even better than before!
After all, the power of a weapon cannot be determined by the caliber alone, but also by the charge.
The N10-anionic salt azide compound currently unlocked by the New Alliance Expedition Team has perfectly replaced the RDX and T-T originally used in the warhead of the artillery shell.
This high-performance explosive saves a lot of charge space in the warhead, and the saved space can be stuffed with more steel balls and arc pieces.
Not just fragmentation grenades.
Goblin Technology has also developed a special arrow-shaped ammunition for the "Whirlwind" grenade launcher.
Its structure is similar to that of a shotgun, but the projectile is not an ordinary steel ball, but a thin steel needle!
This type of special bullet has a strong ability to penetrate armor at close range, specifically targeting the hard armor of the legion soldiers and the bulletproof linings inserted on the armor of the heavy armored soldiers.
Although the 7mm full-power bullet of the LD-47 rifle has huge kinetic energy and powerful enough, its armor-piercing performance is not outstanding.
Especially when encountering hard armor, once the bullet breaks, the armor-piercing ability will be greatly weakened, which can cause internal injuries to people, but it is difficult to kill them directly.
This "arrow-shaped armor-piercing bullet" does not have this problem.
When the Death Corps' "Wolf Riders" launched the first round of charge, the five Wolf Riders at the head used this special ammunition, which directly turned several Legion soldiers wearing heavy armor into hedgehogs.
The Wolf Riders who followed closely behind used high-explosive grenades to cover the unarmored targets such as the escort troops.
That is why, when the claws of death rushed at those people, the entire 100-man team had almost lost its ability to resist and could only be slaughtered unilaterally...
WC is really a mosquito: "Oh, what a pity! There are too many bunkers in the city, and the power of explosives cannot be reflected! If it is a trench battle, the lethality of my grenade launcher must be more amazing!"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "Trench warfare is okay, you think it's beating a child. (Slanting eyes)"
Macabazi: "Oh, since I met the Legion, I found that compared with these well-trained regular troops, the Bone Chewing Tribe is just a little brother."
Stop Bullshitting: "Wait, are you on the front line?"
Macabazi: "It doesn't matter, the food I planted went to the front line, which means I went to the front line. (Funny )"
Stop talking nonsense: "Fuck?! This works too?"
Drum shampooer: "It would be nice if I could protect the entire shield. I just found out when I got home that both my legs were shot."
Yin Lena: "Do you want to snatch the manager's hammer? I remember that hammer can open the shield, and it's pretty awesome. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Actually, there's no need to snatch it. You guys try hard to get our manager to change to a set of magic clothes as soon as possible. When he gets tired of the hammer, you can use it, right? (Funny)"
Drum shampooer: "Why do I feel like a garbage collector when you say that?"
Fang Chang: "Isn't the essence of this game garbage collection? (Funny)"
But having said that, not everyone can pick up the equipment used by the manager.
This kind of drama weapon with the [unique] label and epic significance can be sold at a sky-high price at the auction regardless of whether it is useful or not.
For example, the hunting rifle used by the "Blood Hand Clan BOSS" that Mosquito got earlier, even if it is rusted to the point of falling apart, is still worth five figures.
Just when the players' topic had turned to how much the manager's hammer was worth, an announcement suddenly popped up on the official website.
[Server announcement: The expansion pack "Yellow Sands" will be launched after the world-class BOSS "Heart of Steel" airship is shot down. ]
"Fuck?!"
"Awesome!"
After the news came out.
The official website forum was instantly boiling.
In less than two months, there is another expansion pack!
Isn't this update too frequent? !
...
Ruigu City, West District.
The commander of the fountain, who was hiding on the roof, held a telescope and stared at the airship in the sky, and suddenly muttered in a low voice.
"... Something is wrong."
My most black, who was following next to him, asked curiously.
"What's wrong?"
Quanshui Commander thought for a moment and said.
"Look at the elevator. Yesterday it was full when it came down and empty when it went up. Today it is full when it goes back and empty when it comes down... Isn't that strange?"
Not only that.
Quanshui also found that several engineering equipment previously deployed on the ground were also gradually transferred from the ground to the sky.
Generally speaking, building fortifications is a planned and continuous process. It doesn't make sense to withdraw the engineering equipment after only one month of deployment.
Unless.
The other side plans to move their positions.
Quanshui Commander frowned and suddenly remembered the announcement on the official website forum last night.
The new expansion pack will be launched after the "Heart of Steel" is shot down.
If the other side plans to withdraw...
Can the expansion pack still be launched?
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Quanshui Commander looked at my darkest and said.
"Notify others...go offline for a combat meeting."
"OK!" I nodded immediately and turned to go downstairs.
Although the Legion can accurately locate the source of radio signals within a range of 20 kilometers, there are always more solutions than problems.
Previously, the players of the Storm Corps deployed a large number of manually activated "disposable" radios in the city, which can unilaterally deliver orders while the front-line troops remain in radio silence.
As for confirming whether the order is executed, it is also very simple, just go offline and shout in the group.
The Corps system of "Wasteland OL" is actually a variant of the guild, and the guild naturally has something like "group".
In order to make this off-site gameplay more efficient, Quanshui also specially set up a dispatcher position in the Corps, who is responsible for bringing the messages fed back to the group by the front-line players into the game.
It is estimated that everyone should be offline.
Quanshui took back the telescope, carefully retreated back into the building, found a quiet corner to lie down, and logged out of the game directly.
He picked up his phone and checked the WeChat group.
He was about to communicate his findings to his teammates when he saw the "pangolin" he had planted in the enemy camp, excitedly reporting the latest developments of the legion to his good brothers in the group.
Battlefield atmosphere group: "Latest news! Those big noses are planning to withdraw!"
Kakarot: "Evacuate?!"
Grave Ghost Catching: "What's going on???"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "According to the sentry on duty at the gate of Fallen Leaf Camp, General Griffin summoned them to Oasis No. 9 in Luoxia Province. They plan to evacuate within a week... But Captain McLen probably can't bear to leave the outpost they established in the southern part of the Valley Province, and plans to detach some ground troops to stay behind."
I'm the Darkest: "Damn, are they going to leave just like that?"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Then I don't know, but I heard the discussion of those soldiers in black robes. It is said that General McLen got very angry last night... Those big noses seem to have finally come to their senses. It's not the Enterprise that is fighting with them, but the local natives."
After working for almost a month, I found myself fighting wits and courage with the air. The reinforcements of the Enterprise had already slipped into the desert under their noses.
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the old battlefield players could probably imagine that General McLen must be furious at this moment.
But...
Other players are not concerned about this.
I am the darkest: "What? Did they find out that it was us?"
Kakarot: "Impossible, we shouldn't have revealed our tracks, right?"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Well, they didn't realize it was us. The Alliance's reputation is still a little low in Ruigu City. Those soldiers wearing exoskeletons... they seemed to have mistaken them for Boulder City."
Speaking of which, he also contributed partly.
Battlefield remembered that Kolwe found him and asked which regional power was the strongest in the area. He answered without hesitation that it was Boulder City.
Not only that, he also exaggerated that the nobles in the inner city of Boulder City were all lickers of the company, and they even replaced their organs with products from Ideal City.
This statement is not wrong.
Since Brother Fang opened the market for bionic prostheses in Boulder City, many inner city nobles in Boulder City have used high-end goods from the East Coast.
Kakarot: "Pfft..."
Fun Commander: "I see, but that makes sense."
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "What makes sense?"
Fun Commander: "Since they realized that the Enterprise reinforcements had entered the desert, they were probably called back to defend. I guess that General Griffin should be the commander of the Legion's garrison in Luoxia Province, otherwise I don't believe that McLen wouldn't try to go to Boulder City to fire a few shots before leaving."
Although they have gained a certain advantage recently, he knows very well that this advantage is far from enough to force the Legion to retreat and stop the loss.
Unless the other party changed its deployment.
In this way, the friendly army that went deep into the desert did play a role, otherwise the Iron Heart would not have rushed back to help.
He originally thought that the twenty power armors would not be of much use.
Now it seems that he underestimated the power of technology.
Battlefield atmosphere group: "By the way, if that world-class BOSS escapes... can our new expansion be released?"
I am the most irritating: "What the hell?! If you hadn't mentioned this, I almost forgot that the condition for opening the new expansion seems to be to destroy that airship?"
The message in the group instantly flooded the screen.
Yesterday they discussed a daytime server announcement, and it hasn't even been 24 hours, and they were told that the expansion might be gone? !
Commander Fountain: "This is also the problem I am most worried about. Let's not consider the situation that the planners are playing tricks on us. I speculate that there are two possibilities. One is that the expansion pack is postponed, and the other is that the missed Iron Heart becomes one of the bosses of the new expansion pack."
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "If it is the latter... does it mean that there is no impact?"
Commander Fountain: "No, the latter is the worst case."
I am the darkest: "Huh?"
Commander Fountain: "Think about it carefully. An airship is already so difficult to deal with. Wait for it to go back and join the main force, settle the troubles in the desert, and then kill it back. Isn't the difficulty directly rising from hell to nightmare?"
The troops on the Iron Heart are mostly light infantry and light armor, and they have not encountered heavy equipment such as Conqueror series tanks so far.
Not to mention various infantry fighting vehicles with strong support capabilities, self-propelled artillery, and clone light infantry who are good at human wave assaults.
Fountain believes that the Legion cannot be without these things.
Once the Iron Heart returns to join the Legion's ground forces, an integrated air-ground combat system will be formed between the two. The enhancement of its combat power is not as simple as "1+1=2".
At that time, the Alliance will no longer face just a battleship flying in the sky, but a real "Legion"!
Seeing that no one was talking in the group, Commander Fountain continued to type.
"The most terrible thing is that if the joining of the Iron Heart changes the situation on the Western Front, we may have to face the threat from the Legion directly."
"This is the last chance and the only chance. We must keep it here before it evacuates the Valley Province."
"At all costs!"
If you lose.
The server will be reset.
And everything they have gained from the game will be taken back with the closure of the server.
Although most players are experiencing the content of the game with a relaxed mood, in fact, their fate has long been tied to this "world".
Even if they secretly ridicule the bad planners and say they are not human, most players will not deny that they have gained a lot of things from "Wasteland OL" that they cannot give up.
Whether it is friendship, love, money, knowledge, status or anything else.
At this moment.
All the players in the group became serious.
Battlefield atmosphere group: "Is there any good idea?"
The commander of the fountain was silent for a while and typed.
"Yes."
"But we are not enough!"
"I need the cooperation of other legions... No, not only the players in the legion system, but also those individual players who have not joined the legion, and even professional players. At least 5,000 people are needed to ensure the smooth implementation of our plan."
Kakarot: "Five thousand people... There are only 5,000 people in the server of "Wasteland OL" in total?"
Grave Ghost Catcher: "Including the newbies, there are probably more than 5,000 people, but the newbies who just entered the game have a hard time killing a cockroach... I don't think it will happen."
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "And we only have a week at most..."
Looking at the messages that kept popping up in the group, the Fountain Commander moved his thumb and continued typing.
"Yes."
"It's time to test our mobilization ability."
