Chapter 38 Regular Amateur Troops
"Boss, boss." The child of the night suddenly appeared in front of me.
"What are you so anxious about?"
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's that you are anxious." Ye Zhizi paused and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to fight someone?"
"kindness."
"Can it wait?"
"Wait? Why are you waiting?"
"Because the golem is about to be completed." Ye Zhizi said excitedly: "After you left, we took apart the golem. Although the core structure is very complicated, it is not completely impossible to modify. They have solved some problems. New The control system is being installed. As long as you can wait another 2 hours, I guarantee that the devil will be able to move. It just so happens that you are going to fight, so you can bring the devil with you to participate in actual combat exercises."
"The idea is good, but soldiers are very valuable! And that damn troop loan order, if hundreds of thousands of troops really come out, we will have to wait to be killed!"
"An army of one hundred thousand?" Ye Zhizi swallowed. "How come there are so many people on the other side?"
"It's not like that damn Temple of Light. It's so self-righteous that it just randomly issued orders to borrow troops!"
Rose said: "Actually, I think it might as well wait."
"Why?"
"It takes time for the Temple of Light to send troops, but it shouldn't take more than 5 hours, right? We have to get there in such a short time, and we have to fight with the opponent. It is impossible to end the battle. If the fight is halfway through, the opponent will come from behind. If you run out, wouldn't that be more fatal?"
Eagle nodded after hearing this: "What Rose said makes sense. Rather than being caught off guard, it is better to delay the time and be fully prepared for another head-on war."
"Oh, why didn't you notify me of the war? Are you lying when you think of me as a consultant?" A loud voice suddenly appeared behind me.
"General Wu?"
"Who are you fighting this time?"
I quickly explained: "A former enemy was wiped out by us. Later he changed his account. I happened to bump into him early this morning. Now everyone happens to be online, so I want to eradicate this guild directly."
"Is the other party strong?"
I shook my head: "I didn't mean to cause trouble for him, I met him by chance. I know almost nothing about this guild!"
General Wu's voice suddenly became stern: "You don't know what kind of battle you are fighting?"
"But soldiers are so fast!"
"You can charge forward without knowing anything at all because of the speed of your troops? Why are you fighting like this? It's simply gambling, and it's a very losing gamble! If you bet right, there are not many benefits, but if you lose, you will Tough luck.”
"Then let's stop gathering first and send people to investigate the situation instead?"
"Nonsense, of course it is!" General Wu knocked on my head and said: "The soldiers and horses have not used food and fodder first, and the military situation has been controlled before the war has begun. This is the focus of the war. This is a game, and it is used again. It’s a cold weapon, so you can ignore the supply, but you can’t ignore the intelligence, right?”
"But our guild's intelligence agency hasn't been established yet! There are very few players who like to develop this area. I've recently contacted a guild that specializes in intelligence and assassination, but it hasn't been settled yet!"
"Then you should thank me." General Wu leaned into my ear and said: "I was originally here to introduce some people to you today, but I didn't expect to catch up with the actual combat so soon. Come with me."
I quickly said to the people behind: "After gathering the plan, enter the paramilitary state first. Eagle, you are responsible for making arrangements and make preparations, but don't set off yet. Son of the Night, go to the research institute and tell them to speed up. If you can do more, The experimental results will be better if we come out of the stage.”
"Don't worry." Eagle and Night's Son both nodded and went about their own business.
"Rose, come with me."
"Yes." Rose came up and followed General Wu to see the person he was talking about.
General Wu took us all the way to Essinger's small auditorium. As soon as we entered, we heard a loud voice: "Stand up!"
With a crash, everyone in the room stood up neatly. Although the people in this room were dressed in a mess, it was obvious that they were an army.
"What...what's going on with this?"
General Wu didn't answer me but turned around and asked the NPC guard to close the door, and then led us to the podium of the auditorium. As soon as we stood still, someone below shouted: "Salute."
There was a crash and a neat military salute. General Wu returned a military salute, and the leader below immediately shouted the command again: "The salute is over. Stand astride."
General Wu stretched out his hand and motioned for them to sit down. With the following command, everyone immediately sat down neatly on their seats. It was only then that General Wu said to Rose and I: "We are not outsiders, so I will tell you directly, but remember not to spread the word."
Rose and I nodded quickly: "Understood."
General Wu continued: "Long Yuan has been helping the country develop an electronic soldier training program recently."
I looked down in surprise: "Are these cyborgs?"
"What are you talking about?" General Wu glared at me: "Electronic soldiers are cyborgs? How did you learn Chinese? The electronic soldiers I'm talking about are soldiers trained in unconventional conditions with the help of electronic equipment, not soldiers trained with electronic equipment. Soldiers made from products!”
"Oh! I see. It's that...!" I suddenly paused, then looked at the audience and then looked at General Wu: "What is their confidentiality level?"
"Don't worry, except for those two levels above, there will be no problem."
"Oh." I smiled and said, "Could these be the soldiers participating in the static training program?"
"You also know this?" General Wu was startled.
"What don't I know? It was originally a semi-public plan. Everyone in the United States knows about it. If I don't know about it, am I still considered a Long Yuan person?"
"makes sense."
I gestured to the following people with my hands: "But why are they here?"
"This is part of the plan. Did you not read the plan?"
"Of course I didn't read it. One or two of Long Yuan's secret plans come out every day. If I read every one of them, I won't do anything else."
General Wu said: "Then let me explain. The bodies of these people are being enhanced with electronic devices, but this kind of enhancement is intolerable to normal people, and if the body is simply strengthened, the mind will not progress along with it, and the effect will not be Too obvious."
Rose added: "So send them into the game. The game helmet of "Zero" can cut off the bioelectrical connection between the brain and the body, so that even if very cruel training methods are used on their bodies, they will not suffer from severe pain. And the mental breakdown. Moreover, the body can still participate in various trainings after entering the game, so that the training of the body and the mind can be carried out at the same time, which not only saves time but is also more effective. Moreover, with this kind of training, Americans have nothing to say. In the past, they always They shouted about human rights and said that our country's military training was inhumane, but this time they completely shut their mouths."
General Wu smiled and patted Rose on the head: "That's really smart."
I pointed down and said, "Then you brought them here to ask them to join our guild, right?"
"Don't you want to take it?"
I quickly shook my head. "It's not that I don't want to take them, it's that I can't take them." I pointed below: "What should I say if others see it? Even a fool can tell that these are soldiers. There is an established regular army in my guild. What do you think? What do you think?"
General Wu turned around and gestured to the person who shouted the command, and the person immediately shouted: "Now enter the disguise state. The target environment is a street gang gathering."
There was a lot of chaos down there, chatting, quarreling, picking ears, picking noses, everything. A regular army turned into a bunch of hooligans in an instant! Everyone was sitting upright just now, but now those who are squatting on their seats, those who have their legs crossed, and those who are leaning on their seats are all in a mess and there is nothing normal at all.
General Wu made another gesture, and the one who shouted the command immediately said: "Disguise, target movie theater."
With a bang, they looked like ordinary people again. Although they were sitting normally, they were all sitting loosely and did not feel like soldiers at all. Some female soldiers even pretended to be lovers with the people next to them. Did they talk to each other? Every little move is missed.
The password changed again: "Disguise, target ordinary people in the bar."
The people below immediately stood up and moved their chairs like a bar, freeing up the middle seat. Some people started chatting on the edge of the venue, some people were dancing in the middle, and there were a few pretending to be waiters over there. If only there was a bar and colored lights, it would be a bar!
"Remove the disguise, tidy up the environment and return to army mode."
The people below quickly moved the chairs back and sat down neatly.
Seeing my surprised look, General Wu explained: "Because of this experimental project, ordinary soldiers will definitely not be allowed to participate in the first batch. These are special service units. If the effect is significant, it will be extended to the entire army."
"I want these people, can they all be my intelligence force?"
General Wu said: "It can't just be used for intelligence. Their training is planned. Intelligence penetration is also one of the projects. What I mean is that letting them help you here is also training for them. I put the training plan Here you go, try your best to help them arrange training tasks."
"Then what if I don't have much to do here?"
General Wu said with a wicked smile: "Then don't blame us for causing trouble for you."
"what does it mean?"
"Understand it yourself." General Wu threw a notebook into my hand: "This is the plan. The order does not matter, but the corresponding projects must be achieved, and the intensity cannot be too low."
"Is it such a thick book?"
"Young people must be brave enough to face challenges." General Wu turned to face the following and said: "Everyone pay attention. This is Shenlin, the second-level brigadier general of the Longyuan Security Force. From now on, he will be your direct person in charge. His name in the game Call him Ziri, you can call him by his name directly, or you can call him president, but you must not call him by his real name or military rank."
I stepped forward and said hello to them: "Hello everyone, I will be responsible for your training from now on. You don't have to worry too much. I am not a formal soldier from the military system, and I won't have those dogmatic things, but training is training. I won’t be lenient. Since you are a special service force, you should all be elites. I believe we can cooperate happily." Phew! I have never had the experience of giving a speech in such a formal occasion, so I was a little nervous to do it suddenly. Fortunately, I have been trained to be shameless after being the president for so long.
Rose walked up to me and added: "Although I am not a soldier, I am the main person in charge of the guild. Let me tell you something here. The situation in our guild is quite complicated, firstly, the light distribution, and secondly, the personnel. There are players of several nationalities in our guild. You must adapt to the habits of each nationality and region. For example, there are many German female players in the guild. No matter how familiar you are in the future, never interact with them. It is impolite in Germany to make dirty jokes. Also, some of our players here are Americans. They generally speak more directly and do not go through their brains. They often make jokes. Don't argue with them. This is their country's custom. .And so on and so forth...!"
Rose introduced folklore issues for more than half an hour, and the soldiers below all stared straight-eyed. General Wu said from behind: "It seems that we are right to let them train here. Such a complex environment just cultivates their adaptability and disguise ability. They will be more confident if they go abroad to perform missions in the future."
After Rose finished speaking, I said to them: "There will be a large number of NPCs in our guild, and I need to tell everyone about this. Although the NPCs in our guild are simulated artificial intelligence, we must not discriminate against them. To be honest, our guild There is a shortage of personnel. We cannot survive for a minute without these NPCs, so you have to treat them as real people. Also, these NPCs are also different. They have their own emotions and habits. Don't think that NPCs are strict in speech. You cannot tell them the secret that you are soldiers. Those NPCs also have big mouths, and it will be bad if it gets out. However, NPC soldiers can be an exception. This group is standard soldiers and will never 'leak' any information."
General Wu said: "Okay, now should we take them on a mission first, or should we familiarize ourselves with the environment first?"
"Isengard can't run away. You can familiarize yourself with the environment anytime. Now let's go and perform the mission."
"Okay. Take it away."
"Wait a minute. Because of your special status, I will create a chat group first and add you all in. From now on, confidential matters will be discussed in this group, and normal guild channels will be used for general matters. But before that, we must first Accept you into the membership."
There were a total of 860 troops participating in the training this time, and I couldn't ask Ying and the others to help, so Rose and I had to apply for membership one by one. After adding them all, setting them all as elite personnel at once, and then opening a special chat group for them, this project is really huge.
After joining the guild, I emphasized again: "You will be the elite members of our guild from now on. Remember that you must conceal your identity at all times. Think of this as a long-term lurking training. You must play with other players in the guild." At the same time, hide the fact that you are a soldier. Okay, now I will take you to receive the guild benefits. Once you get out of this door, you will officially start to lurk."
When Rose opened the door, these soldiers instantly turned into a group of ordinary players. They wore all kinds of clothes and had different personalities. Some were very excited, some were very calm, and some looked very nervous. Now no one can imagine that these were once an army that was as precise as one person.
I took them to the warehouse first and gave them the equipment. After putting on the neat equipment, their mental outlook was obviously different, but they still didn't look like an army. Next, the guardian beasts are assigned, then taken to the temple to receive Vina's blessing, and finally to receive weapons. After all, these people are going to participate in actual combat, and they don't know how to fight with swords and spears in reality, so they were rewarded by Long Yuan in various ways after entering the game, and these rewards are all the same, that is, they can Use guns like an archer. Anyway, there are muskets in the game, so letting them hold guns saves them from having to practice shooting outside the game. Moreover, these people are all from the army, so their shooting skills must be very good.
We first teleported to Steel City, and then went to the metal processing factory to directly receive various muskets. These are the muskets I asked Steel City to rush to make, and their prototypes are the ones bought from the United States. Now we have the jet jade mine in Qidian City, the steel mine in Gangcheng, precision machine tools from Germany, and technical support from Atlantis. Producing guns is no small matter. This first batch was originally intended to equip the NPCs in our guild, but now it is more important to equip this army first.
After getting the weapons, I took them out of Steel City and teleported to the guild next to the Green Grass League. "The first training project is secret infiltration and intelligence collection. This guild will soon be at war with our guild. Your task is to collect all useful information. Pay attention to a few points. First, this is a game, although the simulation is very High, but this is not true after all, so don’t judge things for granted. Second point, we don’t have long-range weapon support here, but we can call in limited air support, but don’t count on artillery and air force like in reality, we don’t have these things here , besides this is infiltration and cannot be used. Third, guns are not the only weapons. In order to simulate reality, I have equipped you with daggers. Just think of them as bayonets! There is really no military bayonet in the game. It’s too late, you can make do with this first. Okay, that’s all I have to say, disperse.”
Thanks to letting them do game simulation training first, it would have been troublesome in actual combat. I discovered the problem as soon as they dispersed. These guys looked like ordinary people in plain clothes, but their true colors were revealed as soon as they entered the mission. These guys unknowingly dispersed into tactical teams, and even used military sign language to coordinate with each other. How could any player play the game like this? Even a fool knows that they are not ordinary players!
I quickly shouted in the channel of the secret group only for those of us: "What are you all doing? Look what you look like? Is this how you pretend to be? Who asked you to form a tactical team? When advancing Don’t squat and run like the special forces, please pretend to be amateurs! Even if you are suspected of being a military enthusiast, it is better than being recognized, right?”
"I'm sorry, I trained too many times and it automatically became like this as soon as I came out. Let's disperse immediately!"
I watched them change their formation and said, "Well, now they look more like militiamen! Try to be a little more fake, make them look like rookies who have only participated in middle school military training."
"Let's do our best!"
Although pretending can make them fail, there is absolutely nothing to say about infiltration. More than 800 people just sneaked into the territory of the other guild, and none of them were discovered. After all, professional soldiers are not ordinary people. But these guys started doing stupid things again!
"Who asked you to kill the guards?" I stood on a tree in the distance and stared at them with my star eyes to perform the task, but these guys actually 'touched' under the tree of life, and then two guys came out like lightning. They started attacking at the same time, and the two guards standing guard were killed before they could react.
A soldier asked: "What's wrong? This is standard procedure!"
"That's the standard outside. People and NPCs here are immortal. If you kill him, he will be resurrected in a few hours, and you will be exposed. Fortunately, this is an NPC guard. If the player is more finished, the player There are only two minutes between death and resurrection!"
"Sorry, we don't know. These two have been killed. Anyway, we still have a few hours to complete the mission."
"Okay. Go ahead!" I'm so dizzy!
Those guys dragged the two bodies to the bushes to hide them, and then cleaned up the dragging marks. There were guards in the passage on the tree trunk, and I wouldn't let them take action, so like me, they aimed their sights at the several forks above. A guy suddenly threw a row of darts and nailed them to the tree trunk, and then these guys climbed up the tree one by one like lightning. Although the people on the other side did not use darts, they were even more exaggerated. They actually grabbed the gaps in the bark of the tree with their hands and climbed up. They could compete with Spider-Man!
As I looked at it, I realized something was wrong. I thought they had sent people up to check the situation, but they all started climbing up. "Hey! Please! Don't go up together! The city is only so big. If you enter more than 800 people at once, are you infiltrating or attacking the city?"
"clear."
Everyone who had climbed halfway left the tree to find a place to hide, but more than a hundred people still made it to the top. These people quickly entered the city. The leaves blocked my view and I couldn't see their movements in the city, but I could hear the calls on the secret channel.
The level of intelligence gathering by these guys is absolutely top-notch. Within twenty minutes, all of them came out. Watching their smooth movements was like dancing!
After leaving the Tree of Life, they quickly reunited with the people hiding below, and then quickly left the other side's area and returned to me. I took them out of this area first, used the teleportation scroll to reach the Goddess City, and then dispersed and hid.
The person in charge of leading the team is a captain, whose name in the game is Granite. After everyone was hidden, he began to report the situation to me: "Three of us sneaked into the other party's guild office. Although no text message was found, we heard a very important conversation. The following is the record."
The video playback function of "Zero" is very powerful. It not only has images and sounds, but also the distance of the lens can be adjusted at will. Anything that the player can see can be captured by video. There are several people in the picture that Granite gave me. One is Ren Jiu, and the other is the father of the cute little boy. The other person always has his back to the picture, and I don’t know who he is. This picture was taken from outside the window. It is very unclear. There are always blinds blocking it and it is blurry.
Listening to their conversation, it seems that the child’s father’s name is Haixia. He first spoke to the person with his back to the screen: "Do you agree or not?"
The mysterious man with his back to the screen said: "It's not that I don't agree, but this is a quota issue. The Frost Rose Alliance's industry seems not to be as small as you think. It's okay to defeat Essinger. If we can't defeat it, we will suffer a lot of losses." Big. So I think the conditions you gave me are too unreasonable."
Ren Jiu was dangling something there, which was obviously the token mentioned in the gold coin. "We, the Green Grass League, want to attract the main force of the Frost Rose League, but you are just taking advantage of the opportunity. If we fail, you will only lose your troops, and we will be completely ruined. Isn't this risk too great?"
The mysterious man said: "Risks and benefits are equal."
Hai Xia immediately said: "You are right. Our guild has taken the greatest risk and deserves the greatest benefit."
"You can't say that." The mysterious person facing the screen said: "This plan was decided temporarily because you were discovered by Ziri, so you have to bear the risk. This will not be affected by our plan. Change. In fact, your only contribution is to provide us with this information, not the role you played in this plan. Regardless of whether we start this plan or not, the Frost Rose Alliance will go to war with you. Please don't Things are mixed up. In addition, your defense of the city is just pure defense, while we need to mobilize a large number of troops, which all cost money. Our operating costs are also very high. Excluding the cost, in the end we will The actual profit you can get is not as much as yours."
"Are you sure about us?" Ren Jiu stood up angrily.
The mysterious man laughed: "Hahahaha! We all have the same goal, why bother to affect our friendship just for this little money?"
"Our goals are different from yours." Renjiu stood up: "I have 4 pieces of troop borrowing orders issued by the Temple of Light in my hand. I want to leave one to defend the city, and if you need the other three..."
"Are you going to send us off?" The mysterious man was obviously making trouble.
Haixia slapped the table angrily: "Don't go too far. When we fought with the Frost Rose Alliance, you didn't know where we were?"
The mysterious man said calmly: "A good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past. You know your situation now. I don't want to waste any more time. If you want to sell those three brands, I advise you to give up. We We won’t buy it. Don’t say we don’t want to buy it. Even if we want to buy it, we don’t have that much money. If you are willing to sponsor these three brands, I can change the final share into 40 to 60, you 4 and we 6. As for this 4 Whether the difference between six points and thirty-seven points exceeds the price of three borrowing cards depends on your luck. The richer the Frost Rose Alliance, the luckier you are. How about it? Decide to sponsor it or keep it for yourself?"
Ren Jiu suddenly said: "We sponsored two brands, and they are still 40 or 60."
The mysterious man paused for a while before continuing: "Okay then! That's it. Give me the sign and take it back with you."
"Sign the peace contract first."
"Okay, it's better to be formal and save trouble later." The mysterious man began to sign the system contract with those people, but the camera suddenly went dark.
Granite said: "We have limited time and recorded so much. Judging from these scenes, the Green Grass League seems to have invited a certain force to besiege Isengard when we attack them. The conversation just now seemed to be discussing what to do if we win. Divide the interests. In addition, some of us heard players from the Green Grass League talking about their guild’s secret weapon in the bar.”
"Secret weapon? What is it?"
"We don't know either. The angle is not good for recording, but people who eavesdropped said it seemed to be a weapon of mass destruction, but not a bomb."
"Weapons of mass destruction?" I thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what weapons of mass destruction could appear in the game. Magic crystal cannons and magic light cannons are very powerful, but they are still very different from weapons of mass destruction. So far, there is only one weapon of mass destruction that I can think of, and that is the super weapon installed under Isinger. So far, that thing has not been used, but its properties look like it is quite powerful. . Does the Green Grass League also have this thing?
