This Game Is Too Realistic

Legend has it that in the distant prosperity era, the land illuminated by the rays of the sun was once the most fertile place on the continent.

Here there were once lush foliage, forests covering the hills, and farmland stretching as far as the eye can see. Metal slaves worked endlessly in the fields. People did not need to work, but could enjoy the glitz of the prosperous age all day long. Everything was there from the beginning, and it was inexhaustible. .

Just one agricultural division in Luoxia Province is enough to feed 90% of the population on this planet.

To this day, even if the glory of the past has been covered with dust, the afterglow of the sunset still shines here, warming the survivors who are lingering in the ruins.

This is still the happiest place in this wasteland.

As long as you don't set foot in the desert, you don't have to worry about those mutants. Every inch of cultivated land here is protected by the armies of various kingdoms and "river embankments".

Abundant and sufficient food allows the people of Shahailing to not have to worry about hunger.

Although this place is feudal, it is united enough. It is not as scattered as the eastern provinces. A group of plunderers can cause a bloody storm at will. Children who have just left their infancy must not only learn to drive but also learn to shoot in order to survive.

Facts have proved that in the difficult years after the end of the world, it is better for everyone to believe in something together than to believe in nothing.

But——

In the eyes of William Falcon, the prince and commander of the Falcon Kingdom, this is not enough.

Although the kingdoms are united by faith, there is no trust between countries.

The Sand Sea Spirit once taught the kings that brothers and sisters should unite and help each other when in trouble. However, in fact, the kings were suspicious of each other and were always wary of each other using their blood to usurp their titles. They enjoyed the power given by their faith and hated each other. bear one's own obligations.

For example, the spirit of the sand sea can give its blessings equally to every kingdom in this desert.

But it didn't do this, and even the disasters it caused were not equal.

The first thing to disappear was Oasis No. 1, with yellow sand swallowing up everything there.

Next came Oasis No. 2. The fertile soil of the Falcon Kingdom was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, losing more than 20% of its territory in just half a century.

The selfish kings refused to provide help to the Falcon Royal Family. The gods also did not respond to the Falcon Royal Family's prayers. Instead, they continued to bring disasters. They could only seek help from external forces... even the devil in the west.

However, it was precisely thanks to the selfishness and cowardice of the kings that the war progressed as smoothly as ever before.

Facing the lightning-like offensive of the Falcon Kingdom, the kings who were suspicious of each other were completely helpless and have not been able to form effective resistance until now.

After defeating the most powerful male lion, he will immediately move north to capture the Golden Lizard Kingdom. At this point, except for Falcon, only the southernmost Hump Kingdom remains in the entire Luoxia Province.

Unable to change the situation, they have no other choice but to surrender.

And by that time, this land protected by the glow will be united like never before.

William has had this dream in his heart since he was a child. He dreams of one day unifying this desert, and then relying on his strong dominance to restore this desert to its former glory.

Turning the desert into an oasis may sound bizarre, but he believes there is a way.

Even if you can't do it now, someone will be able to do it in the future.

After all, the Shahai spirit once said that this place is a world covered by yellow sand.

As for the second half of what believers often say - "The world will eventually be swallowed up by the yellow sand and return to the embrace of the sand sea spirit."

That's just the interpretation of someone who gives up on themselves.

In comparison, he is more inclined to interpret the teachings of the Shahai Spirit as - "This place can finally return to the worst era one day", "Oasis is a gift presented to the gods by humans, rather than a gift from gods to humans. of giving.”

Since it is a man-made thing.

There must be a way to do it again.

And what he has to do now is to use his thunderous skills to destroy the corrupt kings!

Become the master of this desert!

"...Operation Thunder has been cancelled. This is General Griffin's order. He asked me to convey it to you."

In the tent.

William, who was staring at the strategic map, heard a piece of bad news from the legion officer who entered the camp.

He opened his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and spoke.

"I need a reason."

Five teams of 10,000 people and more than 70,000 Kingdom soldiers have assembled on three sides of the "Fengrao Capital".

It is the granary of Oasis No. 9 and a strategic town in the middle of the Lion Kingdom.

The giant dam called "River Embankment" surrounds a circular area with a radius of about ten miles.

This towering dam is entirely made of alloy and irrigates thousands of square miles of fertile soil inside and outside the "river embankment". No one knows how it works. They only know that it contains inexhaustible fresh water and can restore polluted water to purity.

Under the protection of the sand sea spirit, ordinary weapons cannot hurt it at all.

Therefore, the Lion Kingdom deployed a large number of weapons on the circular "river embankment" and sent soldiers to guard it, turning it into an unbreakable fortress that echoed the royal capitals above and outside and formed a strong relationship with each other. .

But on the other hand, as long as they can capture this place, the Falcon Kingdom's army will be able to drive eastward to the capital of the Lion Kingdom, without any dangers along the way!

The "Thunder" plan was formulated precisely to capture this town.

They have been preparing for this for a full month, including mobilizing troops and planning an attack plan.

However……

General Griffin, who made this plan, actually canceled it in one word?

What a joke!

But soon, the officer's next words made William's mood sink to the bottom.

"Camp 530 was attacked, and the tanks, rifles, bullets, and artillery shells that will be sent to the front line... These supplies are now in the hands of the guerrillas, which is enough for them to arm a team of ten thousand people and break away. The supply line will last for two months.”

"Our planes are searching for their traces, but they are cunning and hid in the hills northeast of Oasis No. 9."

Not all deserts are endless flat areas. In addition to the rolling sand dunes, there are also desertified hills and valleys near the central part of the province near the river valley.

"Camp 530?! How could it be... aren't your elites stationed there?!" William asked anxiously.

The officer nodded and said simply.

"Yes, but even among the elite, there is only a thousand-man team. At present, it seems that it is people from the enterprise who launched a surprise attack on our camp and even used electromagnetic pulse weapons."

Business...

William frowned.

Although he is eager to capture Fengrao City, it does not mean that he is reckless.

In fact, it was precisely by relying on careful decision-making that he was able to maintain a record of consecutive victories and capture the entire Honey Badger Kingdom within a week.

If the battle plan has been leaked, and there are suspected activities of corporate troops and guerrillas equipped with legion weapons on the north side of Oasis No. 9, it is indeed unwise to launch a hasty all-out offensive.

"...I remember there is a tribe of predators from the Bear Clan there? Is there any way to bribe them?"

The officer shook his head.

"We tried, but those people were scared out of their wits by the Alliance, and the few remaining people just hid in the mountains and became bandits... I even doubt whether they still have the ability to fight."

After Dillon died in battle, the captains and ten captains under his command had completely turned into deserters. Although there were still some people who were willing to return to the legion, those few people could not change anything at all.

There was a hint of concentration on William's face, and he pondered for a moment before saying.

"This war needs to be resolved quickly. If it is delayed for too long, there may be changes."

"Of course, Lord Griffin thinks so too."

Reading the expression on the prince's face, the officer smiled lightly and said.

"...So, we have quickly prepared our second attack plan. Different from Operation 'Thunder', this time we plan to use some unconventional means."

William frowned, vaguely reading an unusual meaning from the officer's tone.

"Unconventional means?"

The officer didn't say anything, but handed him a piece of paper and made a joke in a teasing tone.

"After reading it, burn it. We can't leak any more secrets this time."

William glanced at him suspiciously, took the note and unfolded it.

When he saw the words above, William was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.

He looked at the officer, staring intently at those indifferent pupils.

"I oppose this plan! We need a complete and fertile city, not a rotten ruins!"

The officer shrugged expressionlessly.

"Sacrificing a 'farm' in exchange for an entire oasis is definitely worth it in our opinion. If we delay this for a month, formulate a new plan, and deploy our troops again, we may face several times the to the current number of enemies.”

"In addition, this is also the opinion of the commander of the Eastern Legion."

"We don't want this war to turn from a local conflict into a full-scale war between the Legion and the Enterprise. Neither we nor they are prepared. Before the Enterprise increases the chips placed here, we will smash our enemy's defense lines with thunderous momentum. and the will to resist is the least costly option.”

Listening to that ruthless voice, William stared at him.

"You have no idea what that means. Destroying the miracle of the Sand Sea Spirit is a blasphemy against the gods!"

However, the officer just smiled faintly.

"Blasphemy? You still care about this?"

Looking at the livid prince, the officer continued in a slow tone.

"It will take a while for the weapons to be delivered, so please prepare them."

As for that objection.

He acted as if he hadn't heard.

After saying these words, the officer turned around and walked away.

Standing next to William, a general of the kingdom swallowed his saliva and asked softly.

"Your Highness...what are the legions planning to do?"

William was silent for a long time without speaking, and seemed to be struggling in his heart.

However, it was only for a moment.

He is not an indecisive person. Those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters. As long as they win in the end, Luoxia Province will usher in eternal peace.

No one can say he is wrong.

What's more, even if he feels it's inappropriate, he can't stop the Legion's decision.

Passing the note to the oil lamp on the table, William watched a handful of flames leap from the note, engulfing it bit by bit, crushing it into ashes, and finally falling on the copper plate.

"They plan to release the demon from 200 years ago and blaspheme the favor of the gods... Ha, but what he said makes sense. We have all sold our souls to the demon in exchange for power. Do we still need to care about this?"

With a hint of self-deprecation, William left the general with a confused look on his face and walked out of the camp alone.

That expressionless face made it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

Nuclear bomb.

A cheap and useful device.

It is said that just pressing the button of the switch can wipe hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of people off the map, and turn a fertile land into an unsurvivable ruin.

What the God's Calamity takes half a century to do, it can do in just an instant.

This isn't a particularly clever technique.

But it definitely works.

"Mount."

Come to Wanhe.

William patted the guard beside him on the shoulder, then turned towards his tall horse, turned over and rode on it.

Not all desert people like camels.

The black horse produced in the great desert is the beloved pet of the people of the Falcon Kingdom.

They are as powerful as mutants. Wearing armor, they can charge in a hail of bullets. They are not afraid of the sound of gunfire, let alone death.

"Where are we going? Your Highness." Riding his horse to follow William, the bearded guard captain asked, grabbing the reins.

William squinted and glanced east.

"Go to the front!"

The guard captain had hesitation on his face and said cautiously: "It's too dangerous there. Prince Winter's army always fires at us from time to time. I don't recommend that you go to such a dangerous place."

William laughed and kicked the horse's butt to make it run.

"There's no danger! Those turtles huddled in their shells only have a few days left, and we can step over their bodies soon."

Before that beautiful castle turned into a pile of twisted steel.

He planned to ride on his beloved war horse and take another look at it.

…

At the same time, in the fertile capital of Oasis No. 9, bright yellow farmland floated inside and outside the towering circular "river embankment".

The harvest season is coming.

I don’t know whether they will be harvested first, farmers’ sickles or tanks’ tracks.

On the river bank.

Holding the telescope in his hand, Prince Winter was looking to the west, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face with wrinkles.

The fortress under his feet is not only the granary of the Lion Kingdom, but also the frontline of the war.

The towering "river embankment" is a natural fortress, completely made of alloy and almost impossible to be destroyed by conventional weapons.

The troops stationed here are the Kingdom's elite - the "Scarab" team of ten thousand people!

There are more than 22,000 conscripts forming two teams of 10,000 people. There are more than 30,000 troops stationed here, and tens of thousands of farmers are in training.

Thousands of 97mm smoothbore cannons were pushed onto the "river embankment", in addition to nearly a hundred 230mm cast iron mortars.

Don't underestimate these antiques.

Although the range is limited, it can still perform miraculous effects based on the unbreakable bunker.

As long as the number is sufficient and the artillery shells are filled with high explosives, they can still pose a considerable threat to the attacking troops.

Not to mention they also prepared a large number of gas can rockets.

In addition to these antiques, the Lion Kingdom also purchased a certain number of 100mm howitzers and gave thirty of them to Prince Winter.

The range of these modern light artillery can reach 20,000, but they lack ammunition, so their deterrence significance is greater than practical significance.

However, the defenders stationed here are not worried about the troops outside, and they are all waiting solemnly with high morale.

No matter how powerful the Legion's tanks are, they cannot climb over the "river embankment" made of alloy.

The City of Fertility has sufficient supplies, and they can defend it until the next century!

As long as the fertile capital is restored, the royal capital will be restored and the kingdom will be restored!

It will be like a tenacious nail, nailing the Falcon Kingdom troops forward. Anyone who tries to pull it out is destined to be stained with blood.

Everyone is ready to live or die with this fortress.

"...Falcon Kingdom's troops are digging trenches within 50,000 of us."

Passing the telescope in his hand to the adjutant on the side, Prince Winter looked at the soldiers passing by with an expressionless face.

"Let the First Artillery Squadron prepare and give our enemies some color!"

"Yes!" The soldier stood at attention, gave a military salute, and then trotted to the radio station not far away.

Soon after the coordinates of the shelling were reported, more than ten explosions were heard.

Lines of white smoke drew parabolic trajectories in the air, landed on the enemy's position, and exploded into clouds of white smoke.

The range of the 230mm cast iron mortar is similar to that of the light mortar, but its power is much better. It will quickly blow up those who dig trenches and turn them upside down.

However, looking at the group of Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, Prince Winter frowned.

The adjutant on the side also noticed the abnormality, with a trace of shock in his eyes, and said through gritted teeth.

"Sir... those trench-digging soldiers seem to be us——"

"It's the enemy," Winter said without any expression, interrupting him without hesitation, "Keep firing!"

The adjutant nodded silently, picked up the telescope again, and looked at the position in the distance.

His eyes flashed with hatred and anger.

These shameless guys...

They actually used prisoners as cannon fodder!

This despicable method is not only a blasphemy against the ancient covenant, but also a betrayal of faith!

He swore.

He will definitely get money from those people!

After turning around and leaving the front line, Prince Winter took the elevator back to the fortress.

At this time, a messenger trotted over, stopped in front of him, and stood still.

"Report! The palace sent us urgently!"

Taking the letter from the messenger, Winter opened it and took a look at it, his frown finally relaxed.

Seeing the change in the expression on his face, the staff officer beside him couldn't help but ask.

"Is it good news?"

The only piece of good news in this month is probably that their allies finally plan to send troops.

Although I heard that it is only half the size of a thousand-man team...

Winter nodded and handed the letter in his hand to the staff officer aside, with a rare hint of relaxation and joy in his tone.

"Our allies have successfully destroyed the supply hub in the north of the Legion. The Legion's 'Thunder' plan has been foiled. Our north side will probably be safe for a while, and we can concentrate on dealing with the group of bugs outside."

I have to admit that the Alliance's intelligence network is powerful and terrifying.

I have just learned the code name of the entire campaign, and the alliance thousands of miles away has already strangled the entire huge and ton-sized plan in its cradle.

All signs indicate that the alliance's penetration into the desert has reached a level that no one can ignore.

But the Lion Kingdom has almost no understanding of them.

Thinking of this, Winter couldn't help but secretly make up his mind while feeling fearful.

If the Lion Kingdom can successfully survive this crisis, he will definitely convince His Majesty the King to increase the budget for intelligence operations.

or……

You can also do this work yourself.

"50 Conqueror tanks...including self-propelled artillery and trucks, as well as enough supplies to arm a ten thousand men, it's a shame they can defeat such an important military base!"

The staff officer's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, he thought of something, looked at Prince Winter eagerly and asked.

"Where's the equipment?"

Prince Winter smiled lightly.

"Eight of them were transferred to the Restoration Army led by Yade... Don't think about it, they won't give it to us."

A look of pity appeared on the staff officer's face.

That's equipment capable of arming an army of ten thousand people...

"It would have been nice if we had sent troops there."

"Who should we send?" Prince Winter didn't feel it was a pity. "We can't even protect ourselves now. How can we have any extra troops to send to the north?"

After hearing this, the staff officer was silent for a while, sighed and said, "What you said makes sense... I hope there will be news from Andre soon."

"I'm tired of seeing it." Prince Winter said casually, without any expectations.

If the Golden Lizard Kingdom really had the idea of ​​sending troops, they should have sent their troops here when they sent the declaration of war, instead of sitting quietly on the border like now.

The faith of the Sand Sea Spirit has never been so weak in this land. Making an oath in front of those sand sea spirits is like throwing sand and water into it, and it can't be counted at all.

Maybe...

Those things are so outdated.

No matter how this war ends, they will all enter an era of intrigue...

At this time, another messenger came running from a distance.

In his hand was an urgent letter, the second of the same day.

"Why is there another one?"

The two urgent letters were delivered at the same time, and Winter couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Good news he's already seen it.

Logically speaking, the probability that the second letter is still good news is too low...

However, he couldn't avoid it, so he finally opened it.

The letter contained only one character, but it made his face turn pale.

[A nuclear bomb with a yield of one million tons is being sent across the desert to the Falcon Kingdom. 】

Million tons!

For a moment, he felt like his heartbeat had stopped...

…

A month and a half has passed since the fireworks display in the celebration.

In this month and a half, the biggest change in the north of Shuguang City was probably the road to the north.

With the help of the Ideal Group, this concrete road, which cost 16.9 million Cr and has a total length of 169,000 Cr, from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to Luoxia Province, was finally completed.

In the past, it would take a day or two to get from Qingquan City to Ruigu City, even if the troops were forced to do so.

But now, there is a smooth direct road, and you can get there in less than three hours.

As the manager of the alliance, Chu Guang participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Alliance.

Although before he cut the ribbon, there were already trucks running on top of it.

"After all, this road is for emergency use. If you want to use it for a long time, you still have to pay attention to road maintenance. If it is properly maintained, it should be fine for 10 or 20 years." Looking at the straight concrete road in front of him, Li Changkong With pride written all over his face, he spoke with emotion.

Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, also had a smile on his face, held his hand and shook it.

"Thank you so much!"

Li Changkong said with a smile.

"You're welcome!"

Not far away.

The chief engineer of the alliance was still squatting beside the road, looking at the concrete blocks on the ground and muttering.

"How is it possible..."

I happened to be passing by and glanced at him. Seeing that he was still squatting there thinking about this broken road, I couldn't help but say.

"Damn...you haven't given up yet. Have you figured out anything?"

To his surprise, Dao Xia Ryuto actually nodded.

I saw this guy stretched out his index finger, touched the side of the road, and rubbed it together with his thumb.

"This road is not just made of cement, it also has a fixed structure similar to steel rods... but it is not made of steel."

I was stunned for a while after quitting smoking.

"What's the use of it?"

"Carbon... may also be some isomer of carbon and silicon," Dao Xia Liuren clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and said with twinkling eyes, "I don't know what it is, but it is tensile resistant. The physical properties such as strength and yield strength are higher than those of steel.”

"Oh..." Quit smoking and touched his chin, "It's interesting."

Seeing this extremely perfunctory expression, Dao Xia Liuren couldn't help but say.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Quit giving this guy a confused look.

"What's weird about this? There's a space elevator in the desert... It's made of materials with higher tensile strength. Isn't this thing basic?"

Keep someone under the knife: "..."

That makes sense.

For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.

In the distance, the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about where to repair the idle equipment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Sir! Prince Kaman wants to see you. He says he has something important to discuss with you. Do you want to meet him?"
