This Game is Too Real Chapter 486

   "Ah!"

   Looking out the window of the car, the endless sand dunes covered with glowing rays of light as far as the eye can see, the battlefield atmosphere group sitting in the jeep sneezed without warning.

   Colway, who was sitting next to him, said.

   "This is the northwest corner of Luoxia Province. It will get cold at night. Do you need a blanket? My friend."

   "No, I'm fine."

  The battlefield guy squeezed a reluctant smile from his face, and he continued to look at the distant sand dunes. In the distance, he could see a long line and exhausted soldiers.

   At this moment, they are marching in the rear of the 2,000th team under the 50,000th team, and their goal is the second oasis where the Falcon Kingdom is located.

   He had to walk with Colway's troops for a while before going to report to the army directly under the 50,000th.

   The fiasco of the 40,000th team has made them lose their ability to maintain the No. 3 Oasis Front, and now the entire army's deployment in Luoxia Province is shrinking its defense to the far west of the desert.

  Fortunately, Colway's immediate superior was a smart person, and he made a decisive decision to transfer as soon as he received the order.

   It is precisely because of this that they barely saw the shadow of the Alliance, and they have already fled to the edge of the No. 2 Oasis.

   In contrast, the 70,000 and 80,000 teams were not so lucky.

I heard that just yesterday, the 80,000th team encountered the Union's Skeleton Corps on the Gobi Desert 100 kilometers away. Without the protection of armored forces and bunkers, the entire battle turned into a one-sided slaughter, even for half a day. Neither persisted.

   patted the pangolin on the shoulder. Colway picked up the telescope and glanced at the rolling yellow sand in front of him. In the blur, he could see the two-person-tall cactus and the swaying sea buckthorn grass.

   Vegetation began to appear in large numbers.

   They are not far away.

   "There is Oasis No. 2 ahead."

  Although he was about to arrive at his destination, there was no joy on his face, and his frown was even covered with a faint solemnity.

   They successfully escaped the siege of the Alliance.

   But also lost everything he had won over the past few months.

   He can be sure that the strategic deployment and tactical use of the legion are above the alliance, but the attack intensity of the alliance army is still beyond their imagination.

   Those people are like undead.

   If those people weren't too smart and bleed, he couldn't even help wondering if they were clones or androids.

   What is even more frustrating is that he, who is good at summarizing his experience, is at a loss as to where he lost this time.

   Even if supplies are a big problem, they still have an army of 100,000 people, so why wouldn't they be beaten by more than 10,000 people?

   "Is there any plan after arriving at Oasis No. 2?" The warlord asked Colway, who looked worried.

"Plan is no plan," Colway put down the telescope in his hand, and said after a long silence: "I heard that there is chaos at the headquarters, we expected to last at least in Oasis No. 3 until next month, but now Abandoning the No. 3 oasis position half a month earlier than expected means that we must rely on the backward infrastructure and limited industrial capacity of our allies to fight for another month."

   "It's very difficult." The battlefield guy gave a conservative evaluation with his conscience.

   "It's more difficult!" Colway squinted his eyes, trying to pass his eyes through the rolling sand: "Don't talk about this, Bicester Town is ahead."

   The town of Bicester is not in the oasis, but is located outside the oasis like the Petra fortress was in the Kingdom of Camelback. However, unlike Petra, which has commercial attributes, this border town is a complete fortress city.

  This town was built by the Willante with the help of the Falcon Kingdom. Rows of concrete triangle piles surround the town like a river, and there are concrete bunkers behind.

   There are also air defense positions, logistics centers and airports in the center of the town.

  There are no civilian facilities here, let alone civilians and families living here. Except for a small number of garrisoned troops, most of the population consists of conscripted laborers.

   If the terrain level of the outer defense line of No. 3 Oasis is 3 and the fortification level is 1, then the situation here is completely opposite, it is probably "1 terrain, 3 fortifications".

  After passing through the outermost checkpoint, there was a muddy pothole and a fairly straight dirt road in front of everyone's eyes.

   On both sides of the dirt road stood tanned and red-skinned local laborers with shovels. Most of them were residents living in small nearby villages.

   Battlefield noticed that they were looking at him.

   The malnourished faces were lifeless, and the pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and the color could not be seen. Although they were covered with welts, there was no resentment or anger in their eyes.

   is more of a numbness.

  The Battlefielder unexpectedly saw the relief of schadenfreude in the eyes of a laborer, although he was careful to hide the expression on his face.

   It seems that these slaves, who are not much better than slaves, also have wise men.

   They had a hunch that the war was coming to an end.

  The Battlefielder couldn't help but think of the nobles in the Falcon Kingdom.

  They had already been squeezed dry, of course, they couldn't resist the rule of the Willantes, but at the juncture where anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Willantes were about to be defeated, what would they think at this moment?

   He suddenly looked forward to the expressions on those people's faces.

   At the end of the dirt road is a checkpoint.

  The soldiers on duty saw them a long time ago, and after confirming the number, they lifted the railing to let them go.

   Just when the warlord looked at the concrete building in the distance and fell into reverie, a man in luxurious clothes came by the roadside.

   His nose is straight and his hair is slightly curly. He looks like a resident in the desert, but his status is obviously much more noble than the laborers they encountered before.

  Colway waved, motioned for the driver to pull the jeep to the side of the road, and ordered the rest of the troop and supply trucks to move on.

  The noble took the initiative to walk to the side of the car and said respectfully.

   "Dear Lord Colway, I am Widelier, Mayor of Bicester, please allow me to extend my best regards to you on behalf of the three hundred soldiers of Bicester.

   In the face of Widelier's prestige, Colway didn't talk nonsense with him, but just threw a list in his hand.

   "I need the supplies on the list, especially the fuel for the truck, and I want to see them before the sun goes down."

The signature of the    list has the signature of the logistics office.

   However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, Widelir's face showed a look of embarrassment. "But... the sun has set."

   "Then within two hours." Colway said impatiently. He didn't want to waste time here.

   "Okay, okay, my lord!"

Widelier nodded nervously, and immediately urged the men next to him to do so, and then looked at him with a flattering smile: "By the way, my lord, how long do you plan to stay here? of-"

   saw through his mind at a glance, and Colway interrupted him unceremoniously: "I'll be in the barracks until tomorrow morning."

   He is not afraid to fight the Alliance.

   But only after his soldiers got enough ammo and weapons. Otherwise, it's no different from dying.

   Hearing this sentence, a trace of disappointment flashed in Widelir's eyes, and it seemed that these people would not stay to help him.

   Relying on more than 300 defenders, it is impossible to be an opponent of the alliance.

   But he didn't dare to say anything, let alone complain, he could only bow his head and say nonchalantly. "Yes, sir."

   Under the leadership of Colway, the 3000th was stationed at the barracks in the northeast corner of the town of Bicester.

  The morale in the camp was a little low. After the soldiers finished eating, they gathered in groups of three or five and whispered in a low voice: "Have you heard? General Griffin has disappeared..."

   "Disappeared? How is that possible?"

   "Spreading such rumors, are you dying?"

   "It's impossible to disappear, but things are really weird recently. We didn't see anyone from the Alliance or other troops along the way."

   "What is the command doing?"

   "I don't know, maybe General Griffin is planning some big move. I believe that as long as he gets serious, the Alliance will definitely not be his opponent."

   "Shh... don't say it."

   A soldier pointed to a pangolin that was passing by, and the other soldiers stopped talking in unison. Everyone knew that this was Colway's henchman.

  Although there are rumors that he has been transferred to the military corps directly under the Ten Thousand Corps as a consultant, he is now nominally a direct subordinate of Colway.

  No one likes being snitched on.

   But the Warlords didn't bother to pay any attention to them.

  Although he was curious about Griffin's situation, he didn't think a few big-headed soldiers could grasp the movement of the Legion's highest command in Luoxia Province.

   squatted in a dungeon where no one lined up. The battlefield guy who had just had dinner went offline and hurriedly ate breakfast. By the way, he went to the forum to take a look at where the good brothers had gone.

  According to my worst information, the G53-7 position where he was originally located has been captured by the Storm Corps.

   Perhaps because of the fact that the centurion was transferred away, the ten commanders who were promoted from the Falcon Kingdom did not resist for too long, and decided to surrender.

   Probably worried about the retaliation from the alliance, those people racked their brains to count all the previous achievements on the head of "Pangolin" alone.

   The army that took over the G53-7 high ground and the captives was the army of the Lion Kingdom under the command of Prince Winter.

   Now the name of the pangolin has been spread by word of mouth to the Lion Kingdom, and it has been described as a demon that eats children in the middle of the night.

   Looking at my darkest and most vivid description on the forum, the battlefield guy was also powerless to complain. He can be sure that this rumor must have added fuel to the mix.

   And what makes him speechless the most is that these dog things don't draft at all when they brag for him. How could he do everything!

   "Damn, my legs are numb."

   Cursed and raised his trousers, the soldier who had been in the ditch for a while, just pushed open the door of the toilet and came out, when he ran into a beautiful woman with **** and a high nose.

   "Hi" Seeing that the pangolin finally came out of the toilet, Penny hadn't figured out how to talk to her, so she could only say, "You've been squatting for a long time."

  It's okay to mention other things. When I mentioned this, the battlefield guy was nervous for a while, but he coughed and said calmly.

   "I'm afraid of cracking the wound... I don't dare to use too much force."

   This is the truth.

   The shell that almost sent him away last time still has several shrapnel stuck in his body and has not been taken out.

  Penny twitched her cheeks with laughter, but soon realized that the joke seemed a little bad, and forcibly held it back.

   "Sorry, I don't want to laugh, but..."

   Seeing how hard she was holding back, the battlefield guy sighed and said, "It's okay, just laugh if you want."

   The two of them chatted a lot along the way. Although they didn't talk about everything, they had at least become friends who could talk a few words.

certainly.

   In order to maintain the character of "Master of Cold Noodles", most of the time, the battlefield guy kept his mouth shut and listened to her, and only occasionally interjected.

   As for whether he likes it or not, that's all he brags on the forum.

   Anyway, no one will confirm it. As long as the dog can't come out and break it down, he will rely on his mouth to blow it.

   "No, I won't laugh." After a few coughs, Penny looked at him seriously, took a deep breath and said, "My father told me to go back."

   "Your father?" The warlord looked at her in surprise.

   Although he had talked a few times along the way, it was the first time he heard her talk about his family. Penny nodded earnestly.

   "Well, he said I had to get out of here."

   "Congratulations, you can leave this place of right and wrong."

  The Battlefield guy smiled lightly, but what he didn't expect was that Penny suddenly made an unexpected proposal.

   "Can you come with me?"

The moment    heard this sentence, the warlord was stunned for a moment. Seeing her expression that didn't seem like a joke, he frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Penny dodged her eyes and said, "It doesn't make any sense... It's just that I can't go back that far by myself. Although the command promised to send a 100-person team to **** me, none of those people made me feel safer without you, so I I want you to take me back." What's the reason?

   The Battlefield guy was dumbfounded for a while.

He could clearly feel that she wasn't telling the truth, so he looked into her eyes seriously and said, "I swore that I would fight to the last moment for His Majesty the Marshal. In order to realize the ideal of that lord, I will not do anything. will go."

   A trace of anxiety flashed on Penny's face, and she finally couldn't help but say: "Your loyalty is touching, but this is not a war ordered by His Majesty the Marshal, and do you think there is any hope of winning this war?"

  The battlefield guy looked at her with a serious look: "We haven't lost yet, as long as the weapons are sent to the front line, we can immediately launch a counterattack!"

   "I know you are brave, but... one person can't change the outcome of the war, not to mention that you are already injured, wake up!"

Seeing that the man in front of her was still stubbornly unmoved, Penny gritted her teeth, glanced left and right, walked to his side and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you one thing, don't tell anyone...including your superior. "

  The Battlefield guy was overjoyed, but his face remained calm: "You said."

  Penny stared at him intently: "You swear to me first."

"I swear by the name of the pangolin, my belief in the big horned deer god, and my loyalty to His Majesty the Marshal... I will never tell the second person today's conversation." Raising a finger and sticking it to the temple, Battlefield One His face looked solemnly straight into her eyes.

   Penny's cheeks floated a hint of red cloud, embarrassed to avoid the "hot" line of sight, looked to the side.

   That shyness was particularly dazzling in the moonlight, making the earnestly talking nonsense of the battlefield man a little unbearable to continue to lie to him.

   After arranging her thoughts for a moment, Penny whispered, "The Triumph City has sent a governor over here."

  The battlefield guy was slightly stunned: "The Governor?"

  Penny nodded lightly: "Yes, the governor in charge of the Falcon Kingdom, he brought the command of the Marshal's Palace, which is an order directly issued by the commander of the Eastern Legion."

  The battlefield guy swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

   "...what order?"

  Penny shook her head with a wry smile: "I don't know, all I know is that it may be related to the armistice negotiation."

   Hearing the word "truce", the battlefield guy was stunned: "truce... can your majesty accept such a loss?"

Penny sighed softly and said: "That's not something I can guess, and it has nothing to do with accepting it or not. The core interests of the legion are not in the east, and the war is entirely the arbitrariness of the frontline troops and the connivance of the eastward expansion faction. The army commander Saron could not accept the failure of the expedition to the Great Rift Valley, so he incited the raider tribes of the River Valley Province and the vassals of the Luoxia Province to plan a second expedition."

  The Field Guy looked at her in disbelief.

   If this is true, it is a very big news, and it may affect the next strategic plan of the alliance.

   To confirm, he asked cautiously: "This...you came up with it yourself?"

Penny shook her head: "My father served as a civil servant in Triumph City. Although he was not a high-ranking official, it was thanks to his help that I was able to come here. But when I came here, I found out that the front line was sent to the rear. The news was processed, and processed once before it was sent to The Triumph, and it's not going as smoothly here as Griffin claims."

"The Triumph City can accept that Griffin and McKellen maintain the status quo in Luoxia Province, and the core interests of the Legion itself are not in the far east, but it is unacceptable for those who are not from the Eastward Expansion faction, and the enterprise stole it from the Legion. A vassal of the Legion.

"Actually, it's not just Triumph City that can't accept it, the academy also can't accept that Luoxia Province has completely fallen into the hands of the enterprise. If it really develops to that point, the Alliance has occupied the Falcon Kingdom with the support of the enterprise. You know that this place will eventually become What's it like?"

   Looking at Penny with a serious face, the Warlord's Adam's apple moved, and he asked cautiously, "What will it become?"

Penny continued seriously: "The Triumph City side will declare war on the enterprise, this will be a full-scale war across the entire Central Continent, a reckoning of the history of 150 years ago, although the academy doesn't like us, but they Will let us through because they hate the guys on the east coast as well."

  The heart of the battlefield man suddenly gave birth to a bright understanding.

   "Wait... that's why Griffin narrowed his defenses here?"

  Speaking of which, he was thinking about this before.

  While it was a wise move to retreat to Oasis 2, Griffin gave up too decisively—or too soon.

   This is a bit abnormal.

Penny shook her head: "I don't know, maybe he didn't think that way at first, but he's obviously been pushed to this point. From his point of view, even the best outcome is the worst outcome for him. ."

"Only by using the most extreme way to sacrifice the 100,000-strong team and the Falcon Kingdom, and let those Willant officers be captured or even executed by the coalition forces of the Union and the Enterprise, can he unite their families, Unite the factions behind them and agree on the controversial proposal for the Second Expedition."

   When she said this, there was a hint of panic and unease in her eyes: "I don't want to think so, but it is the truth."

   "That man has gone mad."

at the same time.

  Aboard the Heart of Steel.

   Chu Guang, who was handling official business, suddenly received a communication request from the direction of the Golden Lizard Kingdom. Holographic screen.

A middle-aged man wearing a silver-gray long shirt with blue stripes on the seam nodded slightly to him, and introduced himself in a gentle tone: "Hello, Mr. Manager, I am from the Special Program of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the College. The B-level researcher of the group, Li Ke."

   Looking at the B-level researcher in front of him, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a bit of surprise in his eyes.

   It was only a few days ago that he let them suffer a secret loss, and as a result, he couldn't see the turbulent expression on his face.

   As if nothing happened.

   Seeing that the other party did not intend to take the initiative to mention the matter of the Beacon Squad, Chu Guang would not take the initiative to say it, and pretended that nothing happened, smiled and said, "Is there something wrong?"

   "Of course, if it's not something important, I'm ashamed to disturb you so abruptly."

   Li Ke smiled slightly, but the next sentence was beyond Chu Guang's expectations.

   "We are here to save you."

  Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Save us?"

"Yes," Li Ke nodded lightly: "Not only you, the entire Luoxia Province, and even the survivors in the southern River Valley Province, are facing a crisis of life and death. If this regional conflict eventually turns into a legion Your second expedition, your years of business will be reduced to ashes."

  Chu Guang narrowed his eyes slightly.

   "Is this a threat?"

The man in the hologram shook his head and said softly: "No, this is for the peace of those innocent people, I hope you can sit down and talk." Chu Guang smiled and said in a joking tone: "Interesting I would like to ask you guys, where were you when some big nose sent the nuclear bomb to the Lost Valley?"

Seemingly expecting that he would lead the topic to the nuclear bomb, Li Ke, who was standing in the holographic screen, sighed softly and said, "We are also surprised that they will use the nuclear bomb, but this is the end of the matter, we can only avoid it for the first time. The second and third nuclear bombs were sent here."

   "The oasis in Luoxia Province is one of the few legacy left to us by the prosperous era. This decaying civilization can no longer afford more losses."

   "We didn't provoked this war, we just stood on the side of a third party. I hope you can see it for the sake of the overall situation."

   "Of course, we won't let you give up the benefits you've got for no reason."

  Chu Guang did not speak, but quietly waited for him to continue speaking.

  Like paused and continued: "I heard that you have a nuclear fusion reactor, but the power generation has been maintained at a minimum standard. From this, we infer that your helium-three reserves should not be much, right?"

  Chu Guang wanted to say that it was because he couldn't use up so much electricity, but of course he wouldn't do such an act of exposing himself.

   Seeing that Chu Guang still did not speak, Li Ke tacitly guessed that he had guessed correctly, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, and continued: "1000 cubic meters of liquid helium."

  Chu Guang said disapprovingly: "What do I want that thing for."

   "I'm talking about helium three."

   The moment he heard this sentence, Chu Guang's pupils shrank slightly.

He did not know how much    one thousand cubic meters of liquid helium three weighed, but he knew very well that one thousand cubic meters of liquid nitrogen had at least 127 tons!

  What is the concept of 127 tons of helium three?

   If nuclear fusion is used to generate electricity, even considering the energy conversion efficiency, this huge amount of energy is enough to consume a million-population city like Singapore for 127 years!

   And if it is the world, enough for seven billion people to waste a whole year!

   Such terrifying energy, let alone him, I am afraid that even the ideal city will be moved.

   After the disruption of Earth-Moon flights, fusion fuel has almost become a non-renewable resource.

  Although the Alliance can't use such a huge amount of energy for the time being, he happens to be holding a black box that can produce nuclear fusion electricity.

  Whether it's a large aircraft or power armor, as long as it can get enough nuclear fuel, the Alliance has a way to get it out. However, what Chu Guang did not understand was why the academy was willing to give this almost non-renewable strategic resource to the alliance. Aren't these guys the most taboo to "waste"?

   seemed to see the confusion in his eyes, the researcher named Li Ke continued: "Of course, we will not pay you these energy directly, but we will give you a coordinate where you can find this "goods"."

   Good guy.

   turns out to be a blind box.

   As soon as he heard that he had to fish it himself, Chu Guang's interest instantly weakened a bit, and he leaned back on the chair: "It's been two hundred years, how do I know it's still there."

  Li Ke said in a confident tone: "It must be still there. We have a way to confirm that the security system of the facility is still working, but it is difficult for the college to recover it... After all, it is still a little far from the swamp."

   A little distance…

   In other words, in the south of the valley province?

  Although Chu Guang had guessed before that there would be some nuclear reserves left in the wasteland, he did not expect there would be so many!

  Chu Guang looked at him calmly: "Is Luolu Province worth 127 tons of hydrogen to you?"

  Li Ke said in a very soft voice: "Whether it's worth it or not is our business."

   The index finger tapped on the desk, but Chu Guang did not give a direct answer.

   This is related to the future strategic direction of the alliance and the situation in Luoxia Province. He needs to consult with others before making a decision.

"I'll think it over."

   Seeing that the young leader did not reject him directly, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

   "Please do this."
