Chapter 216: [Incheon Landing] Blue Star Player: Zhao the Old Bastard, My CN... (4.4k)
Just entering the storyline, still loading.
A deep middle-aged male voice echoed in the background, something something... broken bowl?
Everyone entered the game with a confused look.
As the screen lit up, what appeared was a port area of an island.
Fang Ming and Yu Feng looked around and found soldiers wearing the same clothes as them, also with puzzled expressions.
Fang Ming attempted to greet them, only to discover... they were also Blue Star players.
Moreover, as more people entered the game.
Fang Ming and Yu Feng found that the entire port garrison consisted entirely of Blue Star players, with not a single local NPC in sight.
What's going on?
This was the first time encountering such a battlefield storyline.
In previous [Battle of Britain] and [Battle of Stalingrad] multiplayer National War Dungeons, the armies were mostly NPCs, with Blue Star players being the minority.
Now the garrison NPCs had been entirely replaced by Blue Star players.
Hiss—
Who's supposed to command?
At this moment.
A prompt appeared before everyone:
[The number of players in this game is full (140,000).]
[Battlefield of the United States, 137th match starting, please follow the instructions to accept the mission.]
Then individual instructions appeared before everyone.
Fang Ming's displayed the identity of [Company Commander], and then looking around, the soldiers under his company had their company numbers floating above their heads.
Yu Feng also had the identity of [Company Commander], and could similarly see the numbers of his soldiers surrounding him.
Then, the mission appeared.
[Hold Incheon Port until reinforcements arrive, or repel the invading United States forces.]
Seeing this mission prompt, everyone couldn't help but nod.
Not bad.
The mission hint allows for preemptive preparation.
Then the in-game 'real-time map' popped up, which could be zoomed in and out, placed in any visible corner, equivalent to giving Blue Star players the full map hack.
Only at this point.
Blue Star players saw where they were.
Dammit.
That old rogue Zhao.
1v17 isn't incorrect?
But why is it next-door neighbors? What about the promised [Republic]?
Playing word games again, huh?
Damn—!!!
Blue Star players hadn't been tricked for so long that they almost forgot how Zhao had initially tricked players.
Now he's playing word games again.
But.....
Looking at the real-time map, Blue Star players couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts.
Isn't this a full map hack?
With tactics learned from World War II, combined with Republic's guerrilla warfare and such, wouldn't ambushing the United States forces here be easy?
However, some players noticed something wasn't right.
With the hack this extensive, the United States forces surely won't be easy to defeat.
After all, losing this side was Blue Star's consensus.
Is Polestar trying to make them resist once, like [Blitzkrieg Poland]?
As they were thinking, the Blue Star players at the port had already started finding their respective teams.
Soon the number of troops was tallied.
There were nearly a thousand garrison troops just at this port, and there were several locations around the port where players gathered, seemingly numbering in the hundreds.
So this means....
This port alone has more than a thousand garrison troops.
However, looking at the map.
Blue Star players were somewhat puzzled that the side supported by the United States and a small advance force of the United States had already been compressed to the southeastern corner.
Only guarding the area east of the Nakdong River.
Why would the United States make a roundabout landing here at Incheon?
This Incheon location is not far from Han City.
It's considered near the center of the entire battlefield, but since it's in the west, opposite is the [Republic].
And it's not just a detour.
The small islands near Incheon, with many reefs, causing rapid currents.
Some knowledgeable players have gone to check the port situation.
At the port now, due to the tides, the ebb tide has already formed a wide mudflat extending for several miles, along with shallow waters at the port being insufficient in depth.
Larger landing ships might get stuck in the mud.
Moreover, this location is nearly 240 kilometers from the Busan front line, with no support back and forth.
It's unthinkable to land here.
But since the mission provided a hint, it indicates that United States forces will land here, though considering there's no specific information given.
Some Blue Star players speculated it might be a small-scale force attempting a landing here for a decapitation strike?
This idea received support from many Blue Star players.
Soon enough.
Through mission hints and discussions among player officers at the port.
These over a thousand Blue Star players began to defend around Incheon Port, mainly concentrating firepower to prevent United States forces from launching a surprise landing.
Plus, there are some Blue Star players on the surrounding islands.
It's estimated there could be several thousand players in total.
Looking at it this way, it's quite a formidable force.
The livestream room with Fang Ming and Yu Feng was relatively harmonious.
But some other streams were in a bit of chaos.
After all, if there were higher-level NPC orders, Blue Star players would comply, but now everything was replaced by Blue Star players.
This led to a new problem.... why should you command me?
At some streams within the Incheon port, Blue Star players were even arguing, competing for command.
Each session initially comprised of 140,000 people, and once full, the next session starts automatically.
Therefore, on the Sky Shark Live Platform, based on the streamer's session, the session number is marked in the bottom-right corner of each stream, and categories have been added.
