Chapter 1845: Chapter 616: Brothers Are Heart to Heart, You Play Mind Games with Them?

This batch of newbies, after leaving the Midnight Room, did not even start their newbie careers at the Crimson Castle like the previous players, but were directly sent to the Maginot Line.

Although the current portal system still cannot achieve large-scale personnel transport, fortunately, this is not a time of war, and the newbies do not really need such “fast travel.” Moreover, the security situation throughout Transylvania is very good, and after several rounds of clearing by Murphy’s forces, there isn’t much else for the newbies to do.

Letting them smoothly enter the war preparation process at the Maginot Line is obviously more cost-effective. From there they enter the swamps, rest at the Wolf Castle, then level up by fighting monsters, and proceed along Baphomet Canyon to Shadow Valley, joining the Black Disaster Line, forming a rather ingenious upgrade route.

As for the local customs of Transylvania?

These can be slowly experienced after the war is over.

Of course, not all players in this final closed beta phase are fanatical fighters; some manufacturing and administration players remain in the main city of Transylvania.

Their role is as logistics personnel.

However, they can’t stay too long in these safe areas because, according to Miss Milian’s newly released “Transylvania Wartime Management System,” all manufacturers must bring their equipment to gather at a military town five kilometers behind the Maginot Line.

That location currently houses a “in-process” field hospital and serves as a base for the People’s Army Logistics Department, providing various support for the line, including temporary camps set by organizations such as the Avalon Church, Eye of Wolf God Monastery, Blood Rat Gang, and Bataxin Business Association.

It can be said that it’s a smaller version of Crimson Castle, where newbies can encounter all Transylvanian forces and smoothly start reputation and crafting tasks.

However, not all organizations can relocate there.

For example, the renowned Transia National First Arms Factory, managed by Loyal Brother, certainly cannot be moved quickly, and placing the arms factory too close to the front line isn’t a good idea.

Therefore, in this moment when all of Transylvania is being mobilized, Loyal Brother and his factory can still sit comfortably near the increasingly prosperous Torrent Castle.

Although players during this period have begun to explore beyond Transylvania, few focus on Loyal Brother’s progress here. But as a highly effective intelligence agent, even tasks as absurd as posing as an “otherworldly capitalist,” Loyal Brother executes very well.

It has been more than three months since the arms factory construction and production started. Compared to the pitifully small initial grounds, Loyal Brother now truly has exchanged old for new.

Especially after Sir Morphy brought in a significant amount of local equipment from Hunger Mountain, the factory buildings set up by the Stonemason Brotherhood have all been put to good use. Besides the firearms production line initially retrieved from the Cape Family, Loyal Brother now commands a forging workshop, a smelting workshop, and an assembly workshop.

The newly arrived Bear Goblin workers initially intended to bargain for higher wages by staging a traditional strike, but these idiots overlooked that their current location is called “Transylvania.” After being fiercely beaten by the tough local old workers, these battered and bruised Bear Goblins quickly increased their work efficiency.

If you want a pay raise, you better check the current situation!

Bloody heck, the Black Disaster is coming. If Transylvania can’t hold on, what good is any amount of pay to you?

Loyal Brother tolerates none of the habits these individuals spoiled by Old Flywheel have. His confidence comes from having trained a batch of very competent junior workers from the populace of Torrent Castle. Even if the Bear Goblins drop their work, the factory wouldn’t halt its operations.

The local’s enthusiasm for fighting wars runs deep, which is evident from the factory’s high-efficiency operations these days.

The warehouse door was slowly opened by several old soldiers missing arms and legs. New guns packed in wooden crates were carried out on small carts and neatly stacked by laborers in cotton clothes onto the large horse-drawn carts of the “Pride of the Lion King” Transportation Company.

Professional drivers from the Village of the Pride of the Lion King checked the goods against their manifest, with accountants borrowed from Treasure Bay keeping records.

These carts are scheduled to deliver this batch of new guns and bullets to the docks at Andma Hills this afternoon; merchant ships affiliated with the Torrent Knights’ Logistics Department will deliver these weapons to the Smugglers’ Forest by tomorrow morning, with the last leg escorted by the Bloodclaw Clan’s Wolf People to the Maginot Line.

The course of the Kaderman River perfectly matches this short-range transport, and after His Excellency Fender personally ran two trips, the transportation line was fixed.

This is currently the quickest transportation route in terms of time, a military transport line determined by the Crimson Castle Administrative Office, and under the wartime system, any obstruction on this route allows the guards escorting military supplies to open fire directly.

Speaking of guns…

Alright, the primary weapon used by the Transia People’s Army has been uniformly replaced from various odd and unidentified firearms to the bolt-action rifles mass-produced by the National First Arms Factory, designed to defend against Mosin Nagants.
