Players Invade Cyberpunk

Would Huang Ban's corporate dogs be willing to risk their lives in exchange for mercenaries on the street?

Are they enlightened enough for that?

Absolutely not.

If you let the Soviet Army leave the city to fight the German Army in a field battle, Stalingrad would be flattened in no time.

Not to mention, the numbers on both sides have now reversed.

"Cough... don't be so discouraged, look at you, Yellow Potato. Since when did you become so cowardly?"

After the shock, the big shot coughed and said in a flippant tone,

"It's just over five thousand people, have some ambition, will you? Numbers aren't everything. Remember how the Sun-Liu Allied Forces burned Cao Cao's army of a million with just two hundred thousand? Now I'm Zhuge Liang, you're Zhou Yu. Can't you handle a bunch of bandits? A game is only fun if it's challenging."

"You?"

Potato looked up and down at the big shot,

"Stop insulting Zhuge Liang, okay? At most, the two of us are Meng Tan and Han Fu, the nobodies who got cut down by Guan Yu in two strikes."

Their banter didn't affect the others' strategy discussions.

These people are already here, there's no way not to fight. They won't somehow honor chivalry just because you have fewer numbers.

Wildman: "Even if it's five thousand or fifty thousand, we must fight, and not just fight—we must win and win big."

The players unanimously agreed on this point: the water plant must be built, and it cannot be handed over.

This is not only a unique building that leaves a name behind but also a crucial water purification plant. Even if players don't care about clean water resources, they understand the significance of this in the current world context.

The master player asked with interest, "Oh? What's your idea?"

Wildman walked to his side, looked at the map, and said, "Their numbers are more than ten times ours, and their heavy equipment far exceeds ours; we absolutely cannot hold our ground."

An experienced Starship Paratroopers2 player, Wildman knew well that in cases where there was a massive gap in combat power, holding your ground would only get you punched through easily, and that's how he's crushed others.

Higher attack power means crushing superiority in a direct confrontation, let alone with such numbers.

To win in such a disadvantageous situation, we must launch multiple offenses and hit crucial points, forcing the opponent's main forces to scramble back and forth, rendering them unable to launch a full-scale attack, thereby buying time to develop and turn the tables.

While in reality, you can't build a base and spawn units within a few minutes, the theory is the same.

"The fewer people, the more proactive we must be. Offense is the best defense. I personally suggest mustering the troops as soon as possible. On one hand, we need to familiarize ourselves with the terrain; on the other, occupy favorable positions. Whether it's digging trenches for ambush or establishing logistics routes, whoever strikes first holds the advantage."

"Hmm..."

The master player nodded,

"You have a point about that, but the problem is that everyone has always been doing their own thing. How do you organize them to concentrate and mobilize?"

"We've already thought about this."

Wildman took out a tablet, a trace of pride in his tone,

"Didn't this version open up the player management system? Players with skills have all considered starting their own companies, but starting a company is one thing; battles still have to be fought."

The master looked down and saw a list on the tablet with names like

[Ox and Horse Construction Company Security Department (61/93 people)]

[Super Earth War Department (73/120 people)]

[Prel Radio War Correspondents (7/13 people)] and others, with the total number of people at the back, online numbers at the front, varying from a maximum of 120 to at least a dozen. The names alone exuded a sense of martial virtue.

"While you two were outside, you probably didn't know that each company or guild has an armed division, and all combat players can sign up. When it's necessary to mobilize combat players to fight, you can just pull people according to the list."

"Then, treat every 50 players as a regiment, and if it's under fifty, count it as 50. The regiment leader can also find other companies or solo players to form temporary teams for precise organization and command. I'll handle mobilization and tell the regiment leaders where to go and what to do, but as for how to do it, that's up to the regiment leaders and the players for them to command themselves."

"When a large number of players need to work together, they can also pull the player regiments together for mutual cooperation."

"That's a good plan, like the old guild wars with group raids, right?"

The master remembered when he was in middle school, raiding the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in the 1.9 version of World of Warcraft at the internet cafe. One raid could have 40 people, testing the raid leader's command skills immensely.

It's vastly different from real military organization, but there's no doubt this is a combat method more suited to players.

Wildman: "Right, and players from different companies have privately formed QQ groups and exchanged phone numbers. So, if we call for battle now, they can log on and charge immediately."

"So... what does the boss say?"

The master mentioned this with some hesitation because they were way too free, free to the point where official restrictions were still only a few conduct bans; it was practically doing whatever you wanted within the bounds of not breaking the law.

This has made it so far unclear what the Horizon Corporation wants to achieve, letting players do as they wish.

"Mentor Gloria says the weapons warehouse is built, and companies or players can rent weapons and equipment using GP points. You can rent a rifle for 100 GP points, 10 GP points for a magazine, and even rent bulletproof vests, light and heavy machine guns, personnel carriers, and MT-3 and door frame robots, but obviously, they have to be returned after use."

"....."

The master took the terminal and opened it; it was true. And what the hell was this 750 KG bomb? Do we have the capability to deliver bombs?
