My soldiers are all Fourth Calamities!

44. Frontline of "Volunski New Town"

Meanwhile, Rochester's troops were also approaching the front line around "Wronsky New Town".

To Rochester's surprise, all the players were quite interested in the PVE design of this "World Boss," and most importantly, it was already a weekend for the players.

With this gaming pod serving as a substitute for sleep, many of the players are already preparing to attack "Vronsky New City" for several days straight, all through the night.

Rochester didn't even dare to imagine how many players these players would be able to kill.

On their way to "New Town of Volensky", they passed a bombed-out school. Rochester saw a large number of makeshift coffins made of wooden planks piled up on one side of the school, which made Rochester's heart tighten. However, he was relieved when he learned that the coffins were not for the students.

"This is all the preparation for the attack..." a soldier said, looking at the hundreds of coffins.

"This was prepared for us!" a soldier muttered.

"Don't say discouraging things!" another voice said.

"You should be happy if you get a coffin," a company commander from some unknown unit muttered sullenly. "For most people, they'll just wrap you up in some kind of cloth they don't know where they got it from."

"Company commander, get me a good coffin when the time comes, hahaha."

The other soldiers joined in the joke.

However, most of them are just bad jokes.

The casualties during the attack on "Vronsky New City" were definitely not small. Most of the soldiers were prepared for the worst, and perhaps to cover up their tension, they told some lame jokes.

The troops continued their advance.

The road stretched out beneath my feet, passing through fields of buckwheat and fields of rye that had already been harvested and looked unusually empty.

The wheels of supply wagons, the iron hubs of artillery carriages, and thousands of pairs of military boots trod in the same ruts, turning the muddy road into a dark brown strip that smelled of animal dung mixed with dirt.

This belt stretches rapidly westward.

The troops marched on, each of them clearly aware of why they were heading to the front line called "Vronsky New Town".

Suddenly, Rochester saw several soldiers vying for control of the "canned" machine, which was the "KPzW-19 replica".

Thinking of this, Rochester suddenly remembered that he had almost forgotten about this matter. He turned to Anton and asked, "Anton, while I was unconscious, what did these soldiers say to Timoshenko?"

Anton recalled for a moment, "Oh, so you're saying you created this canned food, or that you modified it based on the enemy's design."

Rochester: ?

What does it mean?

This is a good excuse, but how he will explain it is a big problem. In his previous life, he was just a black slave who studied computer science and didn't understand these things.

If you brought over a fellow civil engineer who was also a black slave, at least you could say a few words.

Rochester couldn't help but rub his temples.

When Guo Ruhe saw that his commander seemed to be in some kind of trouble, he immediately came to offer his help, hoping to gain favor with him.

"Commander Rochester, are you having any difficulties?"

Seeing the players running towards him, Rochester only thought for two and a half seconds before he had an idea.

At that moment, a message appeared on the player's panel.

Guo Ruhe was overjoyed. "I knew communicating with the commander would lead to high-quality missions!"

[High-difficulty favorability task detected]

【Whether to accept? 】

[Accept/Reject]

Guo Ruhe clicked confirm without hesitation, and in an instant, a new type of task appeared on the panels of all players.

[Triggering Team Research Task: Reverse Engineering]

[Recipient: Guo Ruhe]

In a previous skirmish, our forces miraculously captured and modified an enemy main-type automatic machine, the "KPzW-19." However, this miracle cannot be mass-produced, and Commander Rochester requires you to research the relevant modification technology.

[Phase Goal:]

【1: Based on the enemy's "KPzW-19", modify it to become - "KPzW-19 Imitation"】

[Part Two: Based on existing materials and captured parts, conduct research on the "Imitation KPzW-19".]

[Reward Settlement]

[Basic: Rochester's favorability +30, obtain the title "Mechanical Priest of the Army of Benevolence", Merit +500]

[Added:? 】

Players who saw this panel instantly became excited.

Going Astray: [Huh? Could it be that we can influence the mission content? I mentioned to Timoshen that this was modified under Rochester's command, and they've already created a similar mission so quickly?]

Guo Ruhe: [It might actually be true, but it's hard to say. I've discovered something: talking to the NPC Rochester can trigger quite a few high-value quests. Other NPCs can also trigger quests, but they mostly give you items and food.]

Charles I: [Don't you think this title is sacred?]

Going Astray Brother: [I can see that now.]

Potato who loves potatoes: [Wow, this is so hardcore! Are we supposed to figure it out ourselves?]

AIR: [Are we finally going to climb the tech tree? Can we skip directly to the next tech tree? If we have this much freedom...]

Tang Wanghu: [I'm not familiar with this, you young people handle it, hahaha. I'll just try to gather as many resources and spare parts as possible. I'll see if I can get a "KPzW-19" for this attack.]

It must be said that these players are quite friendly and have a sense of team spirit.

Soon, all the players who had snatched the "KPzW-19 replica" began to study its construction.

Guo Ruhe: [[@All Players] Are there any mechanical engineering students here? Vehicle engineering, automation, materials forming, even those who have repaired tractors are welcome to help. Please come and save my life.]

Three seconds after the message was sent, the channel was silent.

Rochester also fell silent.

Are there really no students from these twenty people who studied related majors?!

It's obvious that most of those who study these majors are miserable office workers who simply can't find the time to play games, or who have already reached the age of electronic impotence.

However, Rochester was quite confident; after all, the player was the fourth Scourge, and he could always manage to tinker with it.

Timoshenko shouted, "We're only ten kilometers from the front line! Reconnaissance troops, go ahead and scout! Everyone rest and prepare for the final assault!"

During break time, players should normally log off.

But rest days are a completely different story.

Anton watched as this group of guys, who usually slept like corpses, showed no signs of sleepiness tonight and were still fiddling with canned food, and fell into deep thought.

Is that correct?

The other division and brigade commanders exchanged bewildered glances. Rochester's "Benevolent Army" was full of energy, high morale, and strong ideological awareness.

Although his own troops were all veterans and elites, they were far inferior to the men of Rochester.

I was incredibly envious.
