San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 972 Island Warfare
When Feng Bujue and the three giants of the Illusory Demon Church were plotting their conspiracy somewhere in the main universe, the match between the Trash Alliance and the Sengoku Second Team was not yet over.
Although the match had been going on for more than two hours, the members of these two teams had not yet engaged in direct combat.
At this moment, Toyotomi Hei and his group had joined the human camp on the island and received support from the locals' technological forces.
On the other side... the four members of the Trash Alliance, led by Honghu, had joined the groundhog camp.
Yes, on this planet, there is a group of groundhogs about six feet tall, anthropomorphic, and with technological levels comparable to humans. Moreover, they are not "alien creatures" but native creatures living in the underground world of this planet.
Due to the "special bacteria crisis" caused by humans, the underground water sources were also affected, and the groundhogs' homeland suffered irreparable damage. So, they came to the surface and declared war on humans.
Some may wonder why Honghu and his group of four, who looked like humans, were accepted by the groundhog camp.
Actually, this is not a problem, because the humans on this planet themselves have not reached a unified opinion... The human civil war had already broken out before the groundhogs attacked. Therefore, when those residents of the underground world invaded, many humans chose to join the groundhog camp. And within the groundhog camp, there were also some people (or rather, groundhogs) who disagreed with their peers, and they would also seek refuge with human forces who shared similar political views.
Now, the war has lasted for more than five years. The personnel of both sides (humans and groundhogs) have long infiltrated and mixed with each other. It is common for enemy soldiers to be in anyone's team.
…………
Two hours and forty minutes after the start of the script, night fell on the island...
At this time, in the command room of the groundhog army's "Dart" unit.
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, as the person in charge of this unit, I have no way to trust you." A middle-aged groundhog strongman in full high-tech armor was speaking to Honghu in front of a 3D simulation map. "However, as the commander of this battle, I must admit... your attack plan is very clever, and from a professional point of view, I can't find any fault with it."
"You flatter me, General Reeve." Honghu adjusted his glasses, a smug smile on his lips. "I'm just doing my best to provide some basic planning..." He paused. "As for the fact that you can't trust us... I can completely understand." He paced a few steps and continued in an indifferent tone, "After all, we are 'interdimensional travelers'. To achieve our own goals, we have almost no principles or loyalty. If I were you, I wouldn't trust such a group of people either."
"Hmm..." General Reeve murmured, "It's best if you can understand."
"However..." Honghu changed the subject and looked at Reeve. "You will still follow my plan, right?"
Reeve was silent for a moment before replying, "Yes... I have no reason to doubt or criticize your attack plan itself..." He continued, "You came up with this plan in a short period of time based on the limited information I provided... and this plan also makes up for some of the loopholes and omissions in my original plan..." He glanced thoughtfully at the map beside him. "To be honest... your ability makes this battle-hardened battlefield commander feel a sense of frustration."
"Heh... you're exaggerating." Honghu immediately changed the topic. "In short... as long as you are willing to adopt my plan." As he spoke, he took two steps back. "Then... I'll go and meet up with my companions to prepare for the attack."
With that, he gave Reeve a salute unique to the "Dart" unit and left the command room.
…………
At the same time, on the human army's "Musketeer" side of the island.
"Hahaha... you did a great job, Mr. Toyotomi." The commander of the human army was named Ted, a bald, one-eyed man in his fifties. He was wearing a set of camouflage military uniforms, and his exposed hands and neck had obvious scars left by torture. "Those mud-eating bastards would never have thought that their entire attack plan has been heard by us, hahaha..."
There was a reason why he was so happy... About an hour ago, the reconnaissance specialist player from the Sengoku Second Team, Yikawa Gi, had already scouted the "Dart" unit's base camp; relying on his excellent stealth and camouflage skills, he infiltrated the enemy camp without any danger, and found an opportunity to install a bug in the enemy's command post.
As a result, Honghu's conversation with General Reeve, as well as other conversations and communication reports in the "Dart" command room... were all heard by the "Musketeer" side.
"Just a small effort." Toyotomi Hei appeared calm. He said in a deep voice, "However... Colonel, you'd better not be careless. Those 'interdimensional travelers' in the enemy camp are also formidable characters. We must be wary of them."
"Oh?" Ted asked a rather pointed question when he heard this, "Are they more powerful than you?"
"Heh..." Toyotomi Hei chuckled, "It's not that they are more powerful, it's just that... Colonel, you've also seen that each of us 'interdimensional travelers' has some unique abilities..."
"Yes, yes, yes~" Colonel Ted's personality was rather glib and liked to interrupt. "I see... everyone here has unique skills."
"Yes, that's right." Toyotomi Hei followed the other party's meaning and continued, "I just wanted to remind you, Colonel... to be wary of those four guys' 'unique skills'."
…………
Thirty minutes later, the night was deep.
The soldiers of the "Dart" unit were ready to go, and a long-planned night attack was truly "an arrow on the string."
The transportation tool of the groundhog army is a mechanical giant lizard, which is a type of mimic robot, similar in appearance to a Komodo dragon, with a "saddle" and control panel for riding on its back.
This mechanical mount is very easy to control and can be learned quickly. The members of the Trash Alliance team mastered the operation method completely after only five minutes of learning.
Unlike the "hovering flyers" of the human army, the groundhogs' mechanical giant lizards can travel quietly and quickly through various mutated plants (due to the pollution of water sources, the entire ecosystem on this planet has undergone mutations) without making much noise.
"Alright, listen up!" General Reeve rode the giant lizard to the front of the soldiers, raised the electric fork gun in his hand, and roared, "Soldiers... follow me!"
