276: Chapter 276: External Support (Part 1) 276: Chapter 276: External Support (Part 1) Qian Chengxue fully agreed with Su Mo’s words.
With a casual wave of her hand, she addressed everyone, “From now on, don’t worry about anything else.
Just focus on mining.
Anyone who obstructs us is the enemy, regardless of their faction.”
The crowd responded with high morale.
However, what followed far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Due to the strong foray of the elite groups from the five major guilds into Yuechuan Plain, countless Independent Travelers flooded in, dreaming of striking it rich, following like a tide.
Yuechuan Plain suddenly turned into a meat grinder of a battlefield.
The sounds of explosions from battles were everywhere.
The troops of the Wet God Guild’s Third Legion were at a loss, retreating inexplicably and without stopping, let alone reclaiming the Kotedo Gold Mines.
In less than six days, the Wet God Guild had lost control over more than twenty Gold Mines, both large and small.
Suddenly, all sorts of gold hunting videos and photos were shared on forums, and there were even those who did not fear escalating things, posting on the forums.
“Do you want to get rich, do you want to become wealthy overnight?
Do you want luxury cars and beautiful women?
Come see my story of Wang Xiaoer, the nobody, striking it rich!”
Watching others make a fortune, countless players became envious and rushed in like mad.
Some players were so bold as to organize groups to attack Qian Chengxue and the others, but all were wiped out as soon as Su Mo arrived.
But this also exasperated Su Mo.
If it were just one bunch of fools, it would be fine.
But this was wave after wave, which was really frustrating. Fresh chapters posted on novel[f]ire.net
Of course, the most frustrated wasn’t Su Mo and his group, but Amocadi.
Inside the Yuechuan Base, Amocadi’s eyes were bloodshot, and he angrily slammed his fist on the table, roaring at Mo Baoke and another, “Are you useless, letting so many mines be taken from us?”
“Legion Leader, you can’t blame us!
We’re under attack everywhere now.
The moment our troops set out, they hit mines.
Just as we reached the eastern mining area under attack, the attackers scattered like flies—impossible to chase away.
Our people have suffered heavy casualties too!”
“Additionally, our people guarding the mines at night are met with madness.
These people launch attacks every hour, not giving us a moment’s rest with their endless harassment…”
“We’re seriously short-handed now!
And that woman, Emaya, has an iron heart against helping us, just sitting back and enjoying the spectacle.”
Mo Baoke and the other went back and forth like in a comic dialogue, continuously venting their complaints.
Amocadi’s heart ached with anger, but he couldn’t keep going .
Every second, a massive amount of money was being mined away, cutting him like a knife.
But it was clear that they couldn’t handle the situation just by themselves anymore.
“Since we can’t rely on that woman, Emaya, we’ll have no choice but to turn to the Fourth and Fifth Legions!”
Amocadi replied furiously.
“No, no, Legion Leader, bringing those two over, would that not be inviting the wolf into the house?
They’ve been eyeing Yuechuan Plain for a long time now,” one objected.
“Do you think we have another choice?
If we continue on our own, we’ll lose every one of the gold mines within a few days, and we might even get driven out.
Now we can only share some of it with them,” Amocadi said reluctantly, having to spit out the hard-earned prize to share with others.
On the other hand, Emaya was watching the latest battle conditions transmitted by the drone.
Over half of Yuechuan Plain had already fallen.
If they continued to fall at this rate, even their own base would be impacted.
York spoke in a deep voice, “Amocadi and his people are simply mad.
Under such a huge impact, they keep dividing their forces to seize all mining points simultaneously, giving the enemy opportunities to inflict heavy casualties.
Now they’re asking us for support every day.”
Emaya was speechless too.
These people were obsessed with money.
Clearly unwilling to give up a single mining point, yet lacking the ability to reclaim them.
To put it bluntly, they were both incompetent and unwilling to let go, utterly blinded by greed.
“Let’s ignore them and just watch.”
York nodded in response.
Just at that moment, a subordinate walked over and reported respectfully, “General, we have intercepted a new piece of intelligence.”
Emaya turned her head and glanced over.
“Half an hour ago, Amocadi invited the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion of the Wet God Guild to send troops to Yuechuan Plain, promising to cede half of the mining points as a benefit.”
The subordinate reported in a low voice.
York snorted coldly, “I really admire them, they’re never this enthusiastic when it comes to fighting.
But when it’s about losing money, they are more anxious than anyone else.
I think they’re beyond hope.”
Tapping her fingers on the table, Emaya lifted her head and said, “Never mind them, let them fight.
The fiercer they fight, the better our chances might actually become.”
York didn’t say much else.
Then Emaya said to the subordinate, “Bella, continue monitoring Amocadi and their actions, and feed back any developments immediately.”
Bella nodded crisply in response.
Even though they were all sharing one base, Emaya never trusted these teammates as dumb as pigs, and so it was only natural for her to surveil them in every possible way.
Wet God Guild Hengmu Military Base.
Troops could be seen emerging in groups.
Leading them were twenty Second Generation Green Blade Messenger Mechas aligned in a row, followed by a thousand Green Shield Mechas arranged in a square formation, advancing with a rainbow-like momentum.
Then came a procession of heavy tanks, rocket-launcher vehicles, armored cars, and transport vehicles like a long dragon.
And then there were the fully armed soldiers in dense ranks.
They shouted with high spirits.
In the sky, formations of fighter jets roared past.
On the observation deck, a man with a face full of horizontal flesh and dense mutton chop sideburns said confidently,
“I never imagined our two legions combined would look so spectacular.”
“Of course, with our weapons, who could stop us?
We’re just unlucky, having searched for so long without finding even a Gold Mine, let alone a Silver Ore Mine.”
At that moment, a thick-browed, big-nosed middle-aged man standing beside him sighed.
These two were none other than Shalute and Akshay, the leaders of the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion of the Wet God Guild, respectively.
“Don’t talk about the past.
Our chance to rise to greatness has come.
As long as we help Amocadi drive away those bandits, half of Yuechuan Plain will belong to us.”
“Do you think Amocadi’s sudden generosity might be a trap?”
“What is there to fear?
With our powerful weapons, we’ll sweep away everything!”
Board the airborne crafts, we’ll head out first!”
Shalute said commandingly.
Akshay replied excitedly.
