729: Chapter 715: Building a Tower from Sand 729: Chapter 715: Building a Tower from Sand “…I’m still alive, and there are two of us left in our team…”
There weren’t many people in the surviving teams in the first place.
But being able to speak on the public channel ant that they were already lucky.
Many teams’ last struggle was just to take down one or two Aus people…
but this was already much better than the aningless total annihilation of their forces.
This wasn’t just about having more survivors; it was also about the fact that the Aus people had suffered significant losses.
The fighting spirit of the Aus hunters wasn’t particularly high; why risk their lives for money?
When people constantly died or got injured during contact, they would naturally beco more hesitant.
Most of those hunting on the outskirts were paid peripheral rcenaries.
They initially hunted aggressively because the prey seed easy to subdue, and they rushed forward.
After suffering setbacks, they would naturally hesitate about whether to continue.
Many Eastern Country people being tracked suddenly found themselves without pursuers.
When the reality of entire teams being wiped out spread within their internal network, it caused a lot of disturbance.
When they realized that they were no longer tracking down fleeing wild dogs but cornered fierce tigers, many teams naturally stopped.
They were just a group of scavengers, bounty hunters who specialized in bullying the weak and fearing the strong; when occasional hurricanes or powerful dragons passed by, they would naturally pretend not to see it.
As wild dogs chasing after profits, even the highest bounties would not make them suicide for nothing.
When the prey beca more difficult, they would naturally adjust, either by giving up or joining forces, rather than taking on higher risks.
The most common approach was to rge the teams.
Two teams beca one, four teams beca two; after the rger, their strength grew stronger, and although the bounty was halved, it was much safer.
However, this also ant a reduction of efficiency by half……
“Many survivors have gathered, so need our support, and so don’t plan to co back…
they want to fight to the death with the Aus people.”
Hearing this, Lu Ping’an rubbed his chin, as this was within his expectations.
Small, well-organized hunting teams were the Aus people’s most efficient battle tactic, but that was under the assumption that each team could consu their prey without injuries or with minimal loss.
Once they beca cautious or united, it would not be as simple as just a reduction of efficiency by half.
“Notify them that they will be relatively safer from now on and ask them to speed up the assembly.
Tell Major Qian’s side to have the Sky Knights drop weapons and supplies at fixed points, and retrieve the wounded.”
After so consideration, Lu Ping’an still said it.
“Broadcast it on the public screen, let them gather as quickly as possible during this adjustnt period with the Aus people.
Even for the counter-hunting squads, the more people, the better.”
When the hunters stopped, the chased, now free from the constant pressure of being caught, could naturally focus more on finding a way and joining up with their other teammates.
In Lu Ping’an’s view, calling off the pursuit of the hunter squads was an absolutely foolish decision…
the compounded strength of professionals could not be resolved by the doubled power of Vortex Stones alone.
Lu Ping’an had the military use their limited number of Sky Knights to continuously provide guidance and support to the scattered personnel, especially by delivering the food and dicine they needed the most, ensuring that their worries were relieved.
They assisted willing teams in leaving maps, directions, and even trying to escort them.
They also provided logistical support to so extent, even if they were unwilling to join the main force.
And their revenge would also disrupt the deploynt of the Aus people, reduce the pressure on the main camp…
“They’re all very spirited; that’s good.
If we have people available on our side, we can also go and help.”
Lu Ping’an briefly reviewed the information, and even with many of the teams refusing to join, he didn’t insist on forcing them.
Since forced orders would only cause resentnt, there was no need to stick to them; they just needed to comply with the “popular will” and then guide the results in their favor.
“We’re a bit short on Sky Knights…
Has Major Qian received any news?
Haven’t they found their Sky Knight beast base yet?”
“No…”
Now, as “Lu Ping’an’s Broadcast” plays an increasingly important role, the mining area camp that had absorbed the original official base has also beco the Eastern Country’s base here.
More and more people from the Eastern Country are voluntarily joining forces, their strength growing every mont.
This is one of Lu Ping’an’s “plans”.
Under the current trend, it is entirely daydreaming to try to make a difference relying only on an individual or one or two teams.
First, mobilize all human resources so that they do not die in confusion and helplessness…
and the strength on their side will naturally increase.
How to form a consensus and bring together a loose group?
Just need a super enemy who is up to no good, and poses a threat to everyone at close range.
Not long ago, many groups, including his own, were just considering holding on until reinforcents arrived and everything would improve…
but this obviously isn’t very realistic.
A month’s journey is too long, the most deadly thing is that even if there are “ships” from the Eastern Country coming next ti, if there are not main forces like the Four City Alliance, the number of people may not be large, and the strength may not be stronger.
The most fatal thing is that they may beco the prey of Aus people as soon as they disembark, suffering heavy losses.
It may not be until two or three months later that the holand realizes sothing is wrong…
by then everyone is dead, and whatever Aus people say goes.
Even if a few Dead Survivors go back and then sue through the law?
Well, as the previous emissary said, Hod company has a group of outstanding lawyers.
Expecting the country to send expeditionary forces?
That’s even more unrealistic.
In the old tis, the various forces were mostly scattered civilian explorations.
It’s only for “a few people” to send regular troops for a ti-consuming expedition of several months in an exotic land and start a war with a bunch of local snakes?
It’s not impossible, just a very low probability.
The most likely thing is to simply issue a “dangerous area” warning, let the newcors be cautious, and condemn Hod company through official channels…
In this era, there are too many such things, and the regular army corps would not be able to keep up if they all co.
At this mont, even Lu Ping’an himself doesn’t know whether the Eastern Country in the new era will send reinforcents if the news is sent back to the holand.
What he most expects is actually private forces, such as a survivor who assembles a large rcenary regint and hires powerful Rule-level professionals to cause trouble.
“Well, it’s better not to expect uncertain things.”
Even if everything goes smoothly, reinforcents won’t arrive until two or three months later…
That’s even less to be expected.
“We have to consider even worse scenarios…”
If reinforcents really co, it’s hard to say who will arrive first…
If Hod company values this land more, there might be Rule-level high-end combat power coming to patrol if they have bad luck.
The only good news is that they have just sent a group of holand company executives here, and it should take so ti for the next contact.
The bad news that cos with it is that those executives must have expert guards, who may bring unknown troubles.
Lu Ping’an wasn’t in a rush, and couldn’t be in a hurry.
He was just trying to stir up the whole battlefield chess ga, making as many chess pieces on his side as possible.
Now he has a handful of loose sand in his hand, which is aningless if not gathered together; it would only be eaten bite by bite by the opponent.
He erected the flag and the lighthouse, naturally becoming the big enemy in the eyes of Aus people.
In just two days, the mining base was attacked twice…
Although the intensity was not as strong as the previous turtle monster, the number of people was quite considerable.
However, this ti, the battle was relatively easy and the losses were minimal on their side.
Of course, it might be because their side has more combat power, and the patrolling teams are getting stronger.
“Uh, this can also increase experience.”
What surprised Lu Ping’an was that his Soldier Path (War Chess Player) had skyrocketed recently.
Now called “War is like Chess” Professional Skill (forrly War mory), it has grown insanely in the last three stages, reaching lv9 inexplicably and is only one step away from lv10.
If all the people from the Eastern Country in the whole world are regarded as the “War Chess Pieces” currently commanded by Lu Ping’an, then this outrageous growth rate may be explained.
“…It seems that I can directly advance to a third-tier Soldier.”
