Chapter 72: Sweep

Chapter 72 Sweeping

The battle lasted from dark to dawn, with both sides suffering injuries. The troops from the three countries on our side had all prepared for the night battle in advance, so we had a slight advantage. However, at night our greatest advantage was also taken away at the same time. The fleet we relied on was unable to carry out precise strikes at night. In the end, all attack missions had to be carried out by long guns carrying bombs. After all, long guns rely on electromagnetic induction rather than light to identify directions, so the night has no effect on them, but our long guns after all Not much. Such a large area of ​​​​battle cannot guarantee the attack intensity at all. In the end, we had to let the fleet rely on the guidance of the frontline troops to carry out precise strikes, but this was very slow and not very accurate, and often hit our own people by mistake.

In the early morning, the sun had just risen. Our fleet instantly restored its precision strike capabilities, but the Indonesians also began to come online on a large scale. The first problem the Indonesians encountered after going online was the chaotic battle situation. Troops from our three countries all began to learn my tactics. Melee was spread all over the islands, which made the Indonesians look away. Regardless of whether the tail block is thrown this way or that way.

At nine o'clock sharp on Sunday morning, our guild began its second shift change, and a larger-scale battle began. Among the troops of the three countries, our Chinese guild is advancing the fastest. The main reason is that we have more people. After a night of fighting, the entire territory of Sumatra has been controlled by us. The small islands outside the big island were violently bombarded by our fleet at night. In the early morning, the Chinese guilds participating in the war attacked all these small islands. Got it. At present, only the northernmost three cities of Banda Aceh, Simawi and Mirabu on the entire Sumatra Island are still under the control of the Indonesians, while the other cities have been carved up by us. In front of these three northernmost cities stands Russell Mountain. In the real world, this mountain is not very big, but in the game, this mountain completely cuts off our attack route. The only passage is a twenty-year-long section. There are many kilometers of underground passages. How can we attack such a line? Is there another beach grab?

I discussed with Feng Yin Piaomiao and the others for a long time, and finally decided to leave a small number of troops to block the underground passage. The large troops first went to help the German guilds fight. Among the mission areas of the three countries, the Germans are responsible for the most troublesome area. What we are fighting here is a long and narrow area. We only need to push all the way forward. However, the Kalimantan Island that the Germans were responsible for was completely a plain composed of wetlands and rivers, and it was impossible to carry out key assaults. Since the last three cities cannot be solved for the time being, let's help the Germans get Kalimantan first.

Three guilds with nearly 20,000 people were left to block the underground passage, and the rest of the troops quickly reached Kalimantan Island through the teleportation array to help. Before the battle started, everyone agreed that all captured cities would be planned as cities for our guild, so that everyone could support each other more easily. Otherwise, the teleportation array will not be used if it is separate! All the cities captured were recorded, and after the battle was over, they were divided according to their contribution to the battle. It did not mean that whoever captured the city would get it.

When we arrived, the Germans had already taken over half of them, but the last few remaining inland cities were too heavily defended and the terrain was too complex to capture in a short time. Ashford asked us to help attack Palangkaraya, which is the largest stronghold of the Indonesian inland iron triangle. This damn city is more than two hundred kilometers away from the nearest coast, and our naval guns cannot reach this location. What's worse is that this damn city is built in a swamp, surrounded by mud. There is not even a passage that can be called a road on the ground. Originally, the German guilds had prepared a large number of artillery pieces for this battle, but the swamps turned the cannons into waste. It's not that we can't transport the cannon to its destination, but the ground is too soft to support the cannon body, and we have no place to place the cannon.

The Germans had already attacked twice before we arrived. But Palangkaraya still stands in the wetlands. Standing outside the swamp, you can see the thick smoke and flames in the city. There are corpses everywhere in the swamp, but the city still stands. To ensure safety this time, we transferred Feng Chengcheng over. It is the only thing that can attack this swamp city head-on.

Because I had to arrange coordination work in various cities, I did not go there with everyone. Instead, I waited until the war was about to start before arriving there with Windmill City. Windmill City was pulled by the battleship to the edge of the swamp, close to the sea, and then took off. After moving slowly for a while, we finally reached the sky above the swamp. The city began to slowly descend, stopping when there was still one meter between the bottom and the ground.

After opening the teleportation array, my private army walked out of the teleportation array, and other players and supplies were also transported out. As soon as I jumped off the platform, I felt my feet go soft, and half of my body sank into the muddy water.

"I'm dizzy! What kind of place is this?"

Ashford moved from the side to me step by step with difficulty: "If it weren't for this ground, we wouldn't have been unable to conquer it for a long time!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to me. I took his hand and climbed out of the mud pit.

This swamp is really painful. Every time I step down, the mud directly reaches my thighs. It takes a lot of effort to pull my legs out. Ashford said that it was because of the mud that they charged at a snail's pace and suffered very heavy casualties. War horses can't run here at all, and other Warcraft are basically the same. Except for a few creatures native to swamps owned by individual players, most land creatures have lost their ability to move. Many players are almost crawling on their hands and knees. How can we fight like this?

My sub-dragon cavalry encountered exactly the same situation as soon as it came out. The baby dragons are not adapted to swamps either, they are closer to desert creatures. Nothing can be done about this mud. The sub-dragon cavalry pulled the reins of the small hunting dragons and tried desperately to control them not to move, but they were always unsteady. In addition to being sticky, the mud was also slippery, and many small hunting dragons came with their backs. The cavalrymen on board fell into the mud together and were covered in mud.

"Hey, your big guys seem pretty good?" asked the president of a German guild.

I looked back and saw that he seemed to be talking about Ring Knight. Armored dragons are surprisingly tall. Although they can sink, their legs are relatively long after all. They can basically walk normally in the swamp. It seems that trotting is not a problem, but the ground is slippery and they always slip when walking.

"This won't work! That's not the way there are people!" I looked at the swamp in front of me and said: "If we continue to fight like this, we will have to fill the swamp with corpses to make a way. Otherwise, we can't even hope to rush to the city!"

Ashford said: "I know it too, but there is no way! We planned to use wooden planks to pave a passage at the beginning, but the soil in this swamp is too soft. It was okay just after putting down the planks, but we couldn't get through it. One or two people will be stepped on, and then they will be submerged in the mud and water again! There is nothing we can do!"

"Have you considered using stone?"

"I've tried it. This swamp is so deep that you can't find the rocks if you drop them!"

Feng Yin Piaomiao asked: "Can I run a boat in this swamp?"

"Ship?" Everyone looked at him together.

"Yes." Feng Yin Piaomiao said seriously: "Since the muddy water is so thin, it should be considered as water. If there is a small boat, maybe it can slide over."

Hongyue also moved over with difficulty at this time: "Theoretically it is feasible, but in fact it is impossible."

"Why?"

"The boats in our guild are getting bigger and bigger, and they can't be driven here at all. And the possibility of building small boats now is very slim. We can't build so many small boats in a short time, and it's not cost-effective!"

"Don't your guild have a two-person speedboat?"

"No." Hongyue and I shouted together. "That thing uses a jet engine. If mud gets into the engine, it will be completely scrapped!"

"What should we do? Do we completely rely on the air force?"

I looked in the direction of the city. "In this way, you all return to the nearby occupied city. When Fengcheng City reaches the opponent's head, you will teleport to Fengcheng City, and then parachute directly into the city. Leave the ground part to the players in our guild. Anyway, we will protect you. The beast steel claws are quite adaptable to this kind of muddy ground."

"Really, it would be great if there was a hovercraft!" the German player next to him sighed.

I also nodded: "It's a pity that we don't have that thing yet."

The president of a Chinese guild in the back suddenly said: "How about telling the Americans to gather the dragons in your guild first? If hundreds of dragons join the battle, this city should be easily solved."

"That will affect the combat plans of other cities. We still have to do it ourselves here. Just do what I just said!"

"Oh well!"

Because no one had a good idea, they finally adopted my suggestion. The players in our guild riding steel claws would be responsible for the ground, and the others would conduct a raid through Windmill City. War preparations continued until noon. Anyway, we can't start the battle in the morning, so I'll just let everyone take a rest first. At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Windmill City appeared in the sky above Palangkaraya on time, but at this time it was very high, and the Indonesians below did not yet know that there was such a thing above their heads.

I rode on Yeying's back, and Yeying was suspended a few millimeters above the ground. He would not sink in if he did not touch the ground. He took out Eternity and pointed forward: "Charge!"

The steel claws of our guild quickly led our players towards the city, and the spears of these members carried the same number of German players. Our job is to contain and draw fire. The Ring Knight's armored dragon followed me and rushed to the front. As the city came into view, I sent a signal to the windmill city above.

With a piercing scream, the city suddenly burst into flames. The Indonesians who were targeting us with cannons were stunned by the sudden bomb attack. They had no idea where the bombs came from. When they were stunned, we had reached less than a kilometer outside the city. The Indonesians quickly regrouped and prepared to intercept us, but suddenly another pile of bombs fell from the sky.

The Indonesians didn't pay attention to the second explosion. Since they couldn't find the object to throw the bomb, they naturally thought it was a super long-range cannon shell, so they ignored it. But after the bomb ended, many things suddenly rushed down from the sky. By the time the Indonesians discovered the black torrent appearing in the sky, it was already too late. These black torrents quickly rushed into the city. It was only then that Indonesians discovered that this black torrent was actually made up of thousands of bats.

The black bats dispersed in pairs. After they quickly rushed to various important locations in the city, the bats changed. Each pair of bats quickly turned into a pair of handsome men and women. These are the Blood King and Blood Queen carefully designed by Wei Na, powerful complete vampires.

The combat effectiveness of level 900 NPCs can be imagined, not to mention that they attack in pairs. An Indonesian city defense NPC rushed up the city wall. This guy is a level 950 guard captain, and he is considered a relatively powerful guard. But as soon as he reached the city wall, two vampires appeared in front of him at the same time as if they were teleporting. The guard captain immediately slashed at him with his sword. The two vampires suddenly disappeared in a flash, and then two bats flew past the guy.

The guard captain turned around and chased after him, but his legs couldn't outrun the wings. The two bats quickly transformed into handsome human forms after pulling away from each other. At the same time, they drew the symbols of the magic circle in front of them with a certain rhythm. When the guard captain rushed to the front of the formation, the magic circle had just been completed. The magic circle suddenly emitted an orange-red light and blocked the guard captain from outside. No matter how hard he rushed, he just couldn't get past it.

The Blood Queen and the Blood King took a step back at the same time, and then began to form hand seals again. As they chanted, two black sword energy flew out. The guard captain squatted down in surprise and dodged the black attack, but as soon as he stood up, his body suddenly hurt, and a bloody hand came out of his chest. The guard captain turned his head in surprise, only to see the demonized Blood King looking at him with an evil smile, and the hand that passed through his body belonged to this demon. The captain of the guard turned back to look at the Blood Queen as if he had some understanding. At this time, the Blood Queen showed a cold smile. The Blood King beside her flickered for a few times before disappearing.

It seems that after setting up the magic circle, the two vampires fired the black attack magic at the same time. In fact, only the Blood Queen fired the black attack magic, and the Blood King actually fired the black attack magic. He created an illusion on the spot, but he turned into a black bat and flew out with the Blood Queen's magic. The guard captain mistook the black bat as an attacking magic and crouched down to dodge the attack. But the King of Blood transformed into a demonic state behind him and killed him directly with a close body attack. After taking down the senior guard, the two vampires quickly rushed towards the nearby players, and the city was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and gods howling.

Following those vampires are our Snow Eagles. They brought a large number of players into the city this time, and Fengcheng City in the sky is also lowering its height to facilitate players to come out and join the battle.

The players outside and I rushed to the city wall. The city is already in chaos. These damn guys don't even help open the door. I turned around and summoned the tank: "Knock it away!"

The tank rushed towards the city gate, and with a roar, the city gate turned into a pile of splinters. I quickly shouted to the players behind me: "Come on!" A large number of players quickly poured into the city from the city gate. The players constantly appearing in the sky quickly changed the balance of power in the city. After occupying the numerical advantage, they easily controlled the city. The Indonesians were compressed into one piece, and players from various guilds went up to massacre them. These Indonesians only lasted a total of twenty minutes before they were all killed. A total of thirty minutes from the beginning of the war to now. A fortress-like city was quickly destroyed. The usefulness of Windmill City was confirmed by everyone for the first time. Although it looked ridiculous and its performance could be described as a mess, no one could deny its war value. Without the air entrance provided by Windmill City, no one could expect to capture this fortress city within half an hour.

After the fall of Palangkaraya, the last iron triangle in Kalimantan was also broken, and the remaining work was simple. After gathering the troops, we began to divide our forces to attack Sepinan and Tongbang Senamang at the same time. These two cities are smaller and do not have the protection of that annoying swamp. We almost have it at our fingertips. Until dark in the afternoon. The island of Kalimantan has been completely wiped out.

In addition to leaving a few personnel to defend, our Chinese guilds and German guilds began to move to the small islands at sea. Indonesia, a country of a thousand islands, is truly worthy of its name. Islands are everywhere like stars, and our fleet is dizzy all the way.

I suddenly received a strange contact around 10 o'clock at night.

"President, this is the battlecruiser Giant Panda."

"What happened?"

"The Americans have crossed the line!"

"What does it mean to cross the line?"

"They beat East Timor!"

"Isn't it? Do Americans know how to read a map?"

"They knew they had crossed the border, and we told them, but those people from the American guild said that East Timor was only so big and it happened to be in the area they occupied. It would be very troublesome in the future, so they simply defeated it. .”

"Then why did you report it?"

"You couldn't find anyone when we first contacted you. People in the fleet said you were in Garland, and some Germans said you were in Kalimantan. We heard several versions of your location and couldn't find you at all."

Indonesia is all islands, communication between the islands is problematic, private conversations cannot cross the sea, and we have completed the state of the country. If we can withstand the siege of NPCs in the future, we will be able to communicate privately after this becomes Chinese territory, but it is not possible now. Our command relies on the fleet's crystal communication machine.

"Where did the Americans hit?"

"They have all been occupied. There are only 6 cities in East Timor, one of them is a medium-sized city and 5 of them are villages. The total number of players is less than 100,000 and they are all gone. They defeated us before we could react!"

It's really bullying the small! "Now that we have occupied it, there is no other way. In this way, you go over there and explain it to the players in East Timor and ask them if they are willing to join our guild. Anyway, they are hungry and the national structure no longer exists. I think they should understand Bar!"

"I'll try my best! But people here may be resistant to us, I don't know...?"

"Anyway, please explain as much as possible. Although we are morally wrong, we don't need to beg them. We are helping them. If they don't accept it, leave it alone."

"All right!"

After cutting off the communication, I couldn't help but laugh. Now the fire at the city gate has affected Chiyu. I was originally here to print Nepal, but in the end, even East Timor was involved! But this is in line with the characteristics of Americans. They never consider the ideas of other countries. Once a country is strong enough, it will listen to other countries' suggestions non-stop. Weak countries have no diplomacy!

After thinking about it, I still felt that it was necessary to go over and explain in person. After all, East Timor was also implicated, and it always felt like it was unfair to them. Ask Rose and Bingbing to go with them. Their images will help the peace talks proceed. Bingbing was originally in Jakarta helping to deal with urban repair problems. When I saw her, she was accompanied by a beautiful woman, the same Bingling I met when I was leading the three experts on the trumpet. After talking about the situation, Bingling came to East Timor with us.

Originally, I was wondering why the Americans wanted to capture East Timor as well. After arriving at the scene, I finally understood. Except for those few cities, all areas of this country are covered by tall forests. In reality, East Timor is supposed to be a tropical rainforest with surplus timber, but in the game, this area is actually covered with fragrant trees that are hundreds of meters high. This plant does not exist in reality, but in the game it is a super valuable plant. The leaves of the fragrant tree can be processed into a spice and are the main raw material of perfume. What is more precious than the leaves is the wood. The wood processed from the fragrant tree not only has a very good fragrance, but also has a smooth texture and is translucent like crystal. What is even more exaggerated is that this wood is red and looks like a ruby. Of course, just being beautiful doesn’t matter, the key is hardness. This thing is called armored wood, and its hardness is about the same as our graphite steel. However, it is much lighter than graphite steel and has better toughness than graphite steel. It can be broken no matter how hard it is. The value of such precious materials is of course considerable, and it is certainly impossible for American players to let East Timor go when they see this thing.
