Muscular Rabbits Legion: No one can escape from the novice village!

Chapter 45: Rabbit Brand Bargain Catapult【Today’s Surge】

Players were busily discussing countermeasures…

Yi Zheng wasn’t idle either.

"Boss, there’s something off about those human players,” said the Groundhog King, the chief spy, as he popped out.

Yi Zheng was blindly swinging a great sword, which was too large for his small rabbit frame. Up close, it looked like a rabbit holding a sword, but from afar, it seemed as if a rabbit-shaped handle had been added under a longsword.

The basic swordsmanship Yi Zheng knew could not be properly executed due to the height difference, so he simply waved it about randomly.

Hearing the Groundhog King’s words, Yi Zheng stuffed the great sword into his mouth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, “Why do you say that?”

The Groundhog King replied, “I can’t see clearly, but I just feel there’s something wrong with them.”

Yi Zheng thought that, in the future, he should provide the Groundhog King with a pair of glasses. But for now, he planned to appoint a capable assistant with good eyesight.

However, Yi Zheng also knew the Groundhog King’s instincts were accurate, so he went to see for himself.

Indeed, the human players’ actions were strange.

The number of players entering Newbie Village No. 1 remained stable, neither too many nor too few, around six thousand.

As some logged off, others logged on, as if everything was prearranged;

Then those among them wearing Reincarnation Equipment would head to the blacksmith’s shop as soon as they logged in and then gather, clearly plotting something.

Back under the big tree, Yi Zheng drew a map of Newbie Village No. 1 on the blackboard and mused, “Three sides are open plains, one side a river; there’s no terrain to defend…

The professions available to players are limited. With my years of gaming experience, it’s always warrior, mage, and priest—warriors at the frontline, mages dealing damage from behind. They probably can’t come up with any fancy tactics…

At least not for now.

In guerrilla warfare, they can neither outrun us nor outplay us, so it must be position warfare they’re planning.

For position warfare, though, they need a position…

Then Yi Zheng drew a circle on the open ground between Newbie Village No. 1 and the river: “The village and the river are the only barriers on the plain. We can’t pass through the village, and the river isn’t good for a charge… If I were them, I would definitely choose this spot.

If they set up some defensive fortifications on both sides, it might just be enough to put up a fight.

But to avoid revealing their strategic intentions too soon, they can’t work during the day and must be cautious at night, so they don’t have much time. They can only gather material for defensive fortifications during the day and act stealthily at night.”

Having analyzed this much, Yi Zheng clapped his little paws on the blackboard and exclaimed, “No, absolutely not!”

Zi Xing asked, “Boss, should I just lead an attack on them right now and finish them off?”

Yi Zheng shook his head and said, “Finish off what? I’m saying their sneaky construction is way too slow. This slowness severely delays our Upgrade rate! We must make them speed up.”

Zi Xing was at a loss…

But Zi Xing never doubted Yi Zheng’s orders, so he asked, “Boss, what’s the plan?”

Yi Zheng said, “Call all the brothers back, and let’s not hang around Newbie Village for the next couple of days. Give them time, give them space, let them do their thing!”

The Groundhog King was a bit worried and said, “Boss, aren’t we risking capsizing in the gutter?”

Yi Zheng laughed, “Capsizing in the gutter is common in the real world, but here, they have too few resources to use. And in the face of absolute power, any scheme or trick is just a paper tiger!”

"Roar!” The Tiger growled in dissatisfaction.

Yi Zheng quickly placated, “Besides, even real tigers aren’t that great.”

Tiger: “…#¥%&….”

It sounded easy, but Yi Zheng didn’t underestimate the players. Who knew if there was a supreme genius among them or a special profession or something, and it would be bad if they pulled off a counter-kill on him.

After thinking about it, Yi Zheng clapped his paw, swiftly sketched a diagram on the blackboard, and called over all the smart Rabbits, the Snake King, the Chicken King, the Groundhog King, and other Wild Monster bosses.

Yi Zheng tapped on the blackboard and said, “Look carefully, this thing, I call it a Catapult. I don’t know if we can make it, or if it will work once it’s made, but anyway, this is the thing. Everyone pool your wisdom, and let’s strive to create it!”

"Roar!” The rabbits shouted in unison.

The bosses tilted their heads, falling deep into thought.

Just then, a large rabbit raised its hand and said, “Boss, I think we can put this together!”

Yi Zheng looked and saw that it was Zi Mo speaking, so he asked, “Are you sure?”

Zi Mo replied, “If it’s just the thing drawn here, I think it’s doable.”

Yi Zheng waved a big paw, “Give you a day’s time, however many you can build, go for it!”

"Roar!” Zi Mo let out a roar and then led a group of rabbits on their way.

Before long, a group of rabbits began gnawing furiously at the base of each big tree. As one tree after another was felled, the construction of the Catapults began. Although there were many failures, they had the advantage of numbers, and an abundance of trees to experiment with!

On the human players’ side, they too were preparing for battle in earnest, and it didn’t take long for them to realize that the nearby rabbits had disappeared. Some players ventured out of Newbie Village and weren’t attacked…

"What’s going on? All the wild monsters have disappeared,” Zhang Mei said after walking around and confirming that no wild monsters were in sight.

"This is not normal, absolutely not normal. It’s been a year and a half, and nothing like this has ever happened,” muttered Chen Chuanwen.

Wang Mingchen said, “Send people out to see how far they can go until they’re killed. I think there’s more to this…”

Young Master Zeng said, “I don’t think it’s that complicated. Rabbit must be fighting with other wild monsters, or had to leave for some reason. We just need to make sure they are gone and it doesn’t affect our next move. As for why they left, that’s not important.”

Everyone agreed with Young Master Zeng’s words. Still, they followed Wang Mingchen’s advice and sent people out to search for Rabbit’s trail.

However, they were killed by nearby rabbits before they could get close to the forest, and Wang Mingchen’s group didn’t get any news in the end. They only knew that Rabbit was far away and couldn’t see what was happening behind Newbie Village…

With this information, the human players were reassured and simply went out during the day to set up the battlefield.

In a day and a night, players logged off in shifts to eat and rest, taking turns to set up the battlefield, which they quickly completed.

In the darkness of the night, the players looked at the battlefield they had worked hard to prepare, their eyes hiding a chilling excitement!

Having been bullied for so long, tricked so many times, they could finally set a trap for Rabbit!

A myriad of words, grievances, frustrations, anger, at this moment, all turned into full anticipation for daylight when they could take their revenge!

"Brothers, watch closely! The traps are at the front line, and if Rabbits fall into them, it’s a thousand arrows through the heart,” someone shouted.

"The second line has barriers, and if they dare to rush through, the warriors will hack them into doubting their rabbit lives!” another cried out.

"If they dare to jump, our archers will teach them a lesson and instantly turn them into hedgehogs,” another boasted loudly.

"If they don’t come over, our mages will make sure they understand what roasted rabbit head tastes like,” chimed in another.

Madman, standing atop a mound in the village, excitedly said in a low voice.

In the silent black night, his voice was not loud, yet it carried far…

Upon hearing this, the players instantly clenched their fists, their eyes brimming with endless battle intent, and their morale soared!

Looking at Madman on the mound, Young Master Zeng commented indifferently, “This guy, aside from anything else, has a real ability to influence others when he’s talking…”

Evil King said, “I don’t know what this guy does in real life, but he has a special kind of charm. Do you think people would eat shit if he said it tasted good?”

Everyone: “…”

For the imminent battle, Madman’s main force was still Reincarnation Players, while players from Newbie Village were to stand at the back of the formation. In Madman’s words, if Rabbit attacked, these players could delay them so the Reincarnation Players would have a chance to deal with them.

Clearly, Madman was not aware of the abnormal attributes of these level 1 players, and they had no intention of informing Madman about their attribute issues. Everyone agreed with Madman’s plan and cooperated fully.

Rumbling…

A loud boom echoed from the distant woods, like the muffled sound of thunder.

Everyone looked toward the distance, only to see a cloud of darkness drifting in from the sky…

"That thunder, sounds like a muffled fart. Hope it’s not a torrential downpour coming,” someone muttered.

The crowd nodded in agreement…

Deep in the woods.

"Wahaha… Nicely done!”

Yi Zheng looked at the large tree in front of him, broken by the huge stone, and burst out laughing, giving a thumbs-up: “Zi Mo, not bad! You actually managed to pull this off.”

Zi Mo chucklingly said, “I’m slow when it comes to fighting, but making this, I felt quite natural.”

Yi Zheng said, “Alright, from now on, you’re responsible for making these strange things. Whatever you like to make, just make it. You really live up to your name, hahaha… Zi Mo, Zi Mo, damn, flip it around and it’s Mozi! Universal love and non-aggression, eh?”

Following the first successful development of a super simple Catapult, Yi Zheng directly ordered Zi Mo to start mass production.

However, Yi Zheng clearly overestimated the Rabbits’ efficiency. Even with excellent gnawing abilities, they only managed to make three by dawn.

Never mind, Yi Zheng thought that was enough.

"All units assemble, get ready, move out!” Yi Zheng gestured grandly as the whole army gathered…

"Daybreak is here, and the battle is about to begin!” Madman looked up at the rising sun, and then back at the solemn warriors behind him, his heart filled with boundless pride! War might not be good, but it was the romance of men!

At this moment, it wasn’t just Madman, Young Master Zeng, Evil King, Yun Ying, Fang Ling, and the others who were in a state of frenzy; almost all players felt a surge of confidence in their combat power and an eagerness for revenge!

Meanwhile, on the forums, many people got up early, and there were even some who didn’t sleep all night, waiting for the latest news.

Many reporters were also camped out here…

World’s Number One White was the person that relayed messages in and out, he didn’t join the fight but hid in a corner, logging in and out to relay the situation in the game.

This day, the world watched!
