This is all my fault!

Don’t try to make excuses for me. I’m not so fragile that I need to deceive myself.

If I had sent scouts before the operation to confirm the situation there, this foolish failure wouldn’t have happened... Alas, I am indeed old, not as sharp as in my youth."

"Alright, alright, I know you’re responsible, and I know you can’t stay idle, so I’ve brought up the issue with the five wheels and the old soldier of Qing dynasty."

Loyal Brother took out his phone, glanced at it, coughed, and said:

"The two of them will temporarily take over your commander’s position. I want to ask how the player faction should respond to the current situation? The Wolf People on the other side are clearly using our Undying Spirits’ extreme tactics. Although they can’t resurrect, their numerical advantage and blind worship of the Evil God make them resemble a bunch of hopeless fascists."

"There’s no other way."

Old Qin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:

"This is the tactic of terrorism! Trying to defeat the defenders’ spirit with brutality and fear. They resort to this despicable human bomb approach because the Dogheaded Engineers can endure the wear and tear. It also lures us to eliminate our living forces.

It’s just like what we did to them in the Polluted Swamp.

Drawing from real-life cases, to reduce losses, we must strengthen firepower and mobility, as well as battlefield situational awareness.

My point is, don’t send people when situations can be solved with firepower. If ground forces are needed, then send the players; if there aren’t enough players, then send vampires with self-healing abilities.

NPCs can’t endure these repeated blows. They have the crucial variable of ’morale,’ especially in defensive battles, where a collapse in morale will result in disaster.

The Wolf People will surely use similar tactics on a larger scale in the upcoming battles; they can endure it..."

"No, they actually can’t endure it either."

Loyal Brother squinted and said:

"As long as the decapitation operation on Lord Paryen’s side ends successfully, without the call of the Evil God’s faith, these Wolf People won’t behave so crazily. They’ll at least retain some reason!

There’s a strange guy among the players named ’Crow’ who has deep research on the continent’s beliefs and theology.

He chatted with me about this topic when he was helping at the munitions factory. He said that much of the Wolf People’s abnormal rage and frenzy stem from blind ’group faith.’ Once we cut off the source of this blind faith, these Wolf People will return to the range of emotions a living being should have.

Simply put, the faith connection with the Master of Hunting lets them temporarily forget fear, but that fear hasn’t disappeared; it still exists in the Wolf People’s hearts.

Huggesen’s engagement in such insane combat will only consume the most fanatic believers more quickly. In this way, if we persist to a certain point, the crazed ones will be eliminated, and the Wolf People will become rational again...

Uh, saying that, why do I feel like that God’s Chosen is courting self-destruction?

Doesn’t he know the consequences of such reckless human life consumption?"

"He knows; he just doesn’t care."

Lord Qin closed his eyes, and as the medicine in the IV drip fell drop by drop, he pondered for a moment and said:

"There are only two possibilities!

Either Huggesen is a faith-frenzied lunatic who can’t think, or... he is deliberately steering the situation to that extent.

So, Little Hu, do you think it’s possible that Huggesen is actually cooperating with our side’s actions?"

"!!!"

Loyal Brother’s eyes widened as he exclaimed:

"No matter how you look at it, this speculation is outrageous!"

"It sounds outrageous, but excluding other possibilities, this speculation might be the closest to the truth."

Lord Qin seemed to have caught a revelation.

He rethought the weave of this battlefield with a new perspective, then rubbed his brow and said:

"But the current situation is regardless of Huggesen’s motives, both sides have entered a typical game of chicken. Whoever fears loses, and this will directly determine the outcome of the conflict.

In the game of chicken, the winner is always the one who doesn’t care about winning or losing...

Hmm, I get it."

"What do you understand?"

Loyal Brother felt a bit exasperated, never imagining his old superior had such a knack for speaking in riddles.

"I understand how to deal with them."

Lord Qin waved his hand and said:

"Let the players go! Use the tactics we used before. The Wolf People want to act tough and scare people, but we, the Fourth Calamity who don’t really care about consequences, will show them what it means to be fearless and relentless!

They can be crazy, but they only have one life!

When you kill the opponent with a bomb and ensure they will certainly die, you remain confident about mutual destruction, but if the opponent won’t die and only you would, even the bravest person hesitates before pressing the button.

The Wolf People want to crush the defenders with such brutal tactics, but before the players vanish, they won’t succeed.

What we need to do now is to convey this principle more directly to the warriors fighting alongside us. The Transia People have tales of Undying Spirits, but not everyone has personally seen us resurrect.
