Sir, there is some confusion regarding the octopus situation at the moment. They want us to intervene as soon as possible and have even repeatedly requested that we provide them with mushrooms to completely annihilate the camel...
Just as Yarst was in deep thought, the voice of his trusted advisor Prestwick quietly echoed.
Give them mushrooms?
Hearing Prestwick's voice, a hint of disdain flashed across Yarst's eyes.
Mushrooms like that, they themselves wouldn't dare to use. Now these squids even dare to imagine that the Black Eagle Village will provide mushrooms for the squids?
What a joke.
Can such things be used casually?
Even if the squids were not yet extinct, they would never dare to use this stuff even after the squids were extinct.
As the Pandora's Box and the Sword of Damocles, once this crack is opened, the consequences it brings will be unimaginable!
So under no circumstances should this crack be opened!
"What does the think tank say?"
After a long silence, Yarst did not respond to the question about the mushrooms. Instead, he shifted the topic to another aspect.
Upon hearing this, Prestwick immediately spoke up:
"After analyzing the situation, the think tank believes there are three possible scenarios for the camels: Firstly, the camels have decided to abandon the hostages and clear out the squids at any cost!"
"Secondly, this is a deliberate smokescreen they're setting up, with the purpose of confusing our judgment and sending us a signal that their patience has reached its limit, prompting us to abandon the use of hostages in our confrontation with them..."
"Thirdly, they may have found other forces to aid them. It's highly possible that they will launch another special hostage rescue operation..."
Yarst's eyes flickered slightly.
At this moment, Prestwick continued:
"Of the three possibilities, the think tank believes that the probability of the third occurring is higher!"
"The think tank analyzes that the probability of the first possibility occurring is the smallest. If camels want to break free from our control, they will definitely create a positive image internationally to gain more recognition. If they take action at any cost, even if they win in the end, it will be easy to leave room for criticism!"
"Even within their own ranks, if they disregard the well-being of civilians and their actions are exposed, their reputation will suffer a serious blow. Especially considering the presence of our forces intervening on the outside, the probability of them taking action at all costs is negligible!"
"As for the second possibility, it is only second to the third. However, smoke bombs like these have little effect on us. Whatever happens, we cannot give up the squids. And the hostages in the squids' hands are the best way for us to keep the squids from holding camels back right now!"
"In the firm grip of the hostages, smoke bombs will not have much effect on us!"
"If the camels are not foolish, they must also be aware of this!"
"Knowing this, delaying time with smoke bombs is more detrimental to them than beneficial. After all, our goal is to delay time and accumulate offensive forces. They do not have the same foundation as we do, relying solely on Long Village's support will not guarantee their long-term survival. They must win decisively, unable to engage in a protracted struggle with us..."
"Taking all this into consideration, the most likely scenario is that they have received assistance from external forces, and these external forces are unlikely to be anyone other than Long Village!"
Long Village?
Upon hearing this name, a trace of cold light flickered across Yarst's eyes!
"So, the think tank's implication is that Long Village will directly intervene in this war between camels?"
Yarst said solemnly.
"No," Prestwick gently shook his head, and continued: "The think tank believes that Long Village will not really intervene in the war between camels, but they will help the camels in other ways, just like they did during their help to Little Fat Village..."
Upon hearing this, Yarst narrowed his eyes slightly.
Unconsciously, the memory of what happened to Little Fat Village in the past surged into his mind.
That year, Long Village was poor and struggling.
That year, their bombers dared to fly over Long Village without any fear. More than that, they dared to send artillery shells and air bombs directly to Long Village!
Then, that year, they suffered their first major defeat in history!
Their invincible army, armed to the teeth, was defeated by a group of malnourished and poverty-stricken people, with scarce bullets, in their eyes, a mediocre army!
Their so-called S2 season No.1 comrade mck, who was praised for his command as a star, was directly pulled down from the pedestal!
It was so severe that their star-level commander nearly fell out of the top ten of the S2 commanders' rankings!
Even if it weren't for the strong power and status of their Black and White Eagle Village, that star-level commander would not even be able to maintain his position in the top twenty!
Just thinking about it, Yarst's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of apprehension, and even fear.
If Long Village was so powerful back then, what about Long Village now?
For a long time, Yarst forced down the fear in his heart and turned his gaze towards the side, facing Brian, the FBL head, and said in a low voice:
"Are there any signs of significant mobilization from Long Village?"
Upon hearing this, Brian replied directly, "Judging from all the information we have at our disposal, as of yesterday, Long Village has maintained a peaceful posture. The focus of their development is still on people's livelihood and economy, and we have not found any traces of large-scale military force mobilization..."
"On the other hand, the small villages around Long Village, such as Little Fat Village, have been seeing an increasingly frequent mobilization of their forces. According to the think tank's analysis, they are likely to launch direct attacks on White Elephant Village and Chubby Stick Village in no time..."
Yarst breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows soon furrowed again.
Yarst breathed a sigh of relief naturally because there were no signs of large-scale activities from Long Village.
The furrowed eyebrows are because of the small villages around Long Village, such as Little Fat Village!
"Preston, do you think Little Fat Village and Little Bar will support camels?"
Yarst spoke abruptly.
"..." Prestwick remained silent, then said: "The think tank has analyzed this possibility and ultimately believes that the probability of this happening is less than 10%, neither Little Fat Village nor Little Bar will send their forces to the desert to support camels. Little Fat Village has ambitions, but their ambitions are currently limited to their southern region. Unless they receive some indispensable benefits promised by Long Village, they will not risk going to the desert as cannon fodder!"
"As for Little Bar, the White Elephant Village is watching them closely, and even if they want to help camels, it's impossible!"
"And most importantly, Little Bar's own strength is quite limited. With the current strength of camels, they do not need their help. If camels themselves cannot do it, Little Bar certainly cannot either..."
As the words fell, Prestwick paused for a moment, then continued:
"According to the analysis from the think tank, there are only two possible ways for Long Village to help camels: one is to negotiate with us, using coercion and inducement, making us warn or even give up squids, or asking us to stop the inhumane actions of squids!"
"However, the probability of this is not high. It's the same thing I said before, we cannot give up on squids. Even if we wanted to, the representatives of the squid tribe within our Black and White Eagle Village would not allow us to do so!"
"Unless Long Village can offer us a huge enough interest to make us give up on squids! However, it's obvious that this is impossible!"
"However, the second possibility is that they will dispatch special operational forces, such as their special forces, to help camels rescue hostages!"
With the large-scale forces remaining inactive, that leaves only the special forces!
Special forces?
Upon hearing this name, Yarst's eyes flickered slightly.
"Can Long Village's special forces complete this task?"
Yarst coldly laughed.
Had they not been prepared in advance, with Long Village's strength, at a certain cost, it might be possible for them to rescue the hostages from the squids.
But now, the squids have accumulated experience from the camel's several previous operations.
And they have even specially formulated a "lure and capture" tactic for this!
Under such circumstances, even the elite forces of Long Village, such as the seals, delta force, and beret hat, cannot complete the rescue mission!
Frankly speaking, unless God goes to the squid village himself, no one can save those hostages!
No!
Or even if God goes, it's no good, after all, the squids don't believe in God. They have already beheaded God!
"The think tank has conducted thirty-three military simulations based on the current intelligence of Long Village's special forces, combined with the current defensive situation of the squids. The simulation results show that even with their elite special forces, the success rate of Long Village's special forces in rescuing the hostages will not exceed 10%!"
"If the camels launch a large-scale counterattack simultaneously with the special forces of Long Village, the success rate of the rescue mission will be significantly increased. However, the final success rate will not exceed 20%!"
"Unless Long Village is willing to ignore its own and those camel hostages' casualties, and deploy precise air power for precise fire support..."
Preston said solemnly.
20%.
Hearing this number, Yarst's eyes flickered.
Then he coldly said, "That probability is too high. Contact the squids and have them rearrange their defenses. By any means necessary, if Long Village dares to intervene, we'll leave them behind!"
"We must make them understand that the desert is our desert, and here is not a place where Long Village can interfere. If they dare to come, they must be prepared to leave!"
…………
Two days passed in a flash.
In the deep desert, at a hidden airfield, on this particular night...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a series of loud, ear-piercing engine roars.
High above, two huge transport planes were slowly descending towards the runway.
"They're here!"
Looking at the massive shadow that appeared against the glow of the moon, Modalarhan and a group of senior camel commanders who had already arrived at the airport were all overwhelmed with emotion.
"Your Highness, what kind of force will Long Village send to help us this time?"
An officer of a sand camel couldn't help but ask.
To this question, Modalarhan did not answer.
What kind of force?
He also did not know.
He could only guess that it would be Long Village's most elite special forces.
Although he was also puzzled about why they would send special forces now, given that the squids had already made adequate preparations, their previous special forces had been defeated more than once and suffered heavy losses.
Even Long Village's elite special forces would not be able to rescue the hostages from the squids' stronghold, under the control of countless guns, artillery, and even tanks.
That is simply impossible!
Although he was filled with doubts, Modalarhan did not express any skepticism.
After all, this was a promise made by Long Village!
Long Village would not lie about such a matter!
It's likely that they will see some aspects of Long Village that have never been seen before in the world!
As the camel commanders all had their own thoughts.
The two huge transport planes had, as instructed by the ground crew, gently landed on the ground airport.
"This should be the Y1000 large transport plane that Long Village has publicly disclosed before."
Looking at the massive object in front of them that had gradually come to a complete stop and its engine turned off, the eyes of all the camel commanders flickered slightly.
The Y1000 large transport plane had been publicly disclosed by Long Village several months ago.
Later, it even disclosed derivative sub- and long-haul aircraft of the Y1000!
And now, such transport planes had crossed thousands of kilometers to appear directly at their airport.
...click click... hoo...
Under the gaze of the crowd, accompanied by a sound of mechanical activity.
The enormous cargo door at the rear of the transport plane quietly opened!
"They're here!"
Seeing this, the hearts of all camel commanders present were suddenly tensed, and all their gazes were fixed firmly on the slowly opening cargo door!
Whether it was Modalarhan or the other camel commanders, they all knew that what they would see next was the true face of Long Village's strength this time.
At this moment, even the senior camel commanders among them began to constrict their breaths.
It seemed as though a century had passed, but the truth was that it had probably only been a few minutes.
The slowly opening cargo door finally opened all the way.
Then, under the lighting of the airport and the gaze of everyone, a figure slowly emerged from the cargo door.
"What is this?"
Upon seeing the figure emerging slowly from the cargo door, the pupils of all the camels present contracted sharply.
What one sees is a human figure covered in an armor of an unknown kind, similar to metal, covering every part of their body!
"Extraterrestrial?"
"Has Long Village really received help from extraterrestrials?"
In an instant, almost all camel commanders, including Modalarhan, couldn't help but involuntarily recall the recent news releases from Black and White Eagle.
According to those messages, Long Village's current technological explosion is entirely due to the fact that Long Village has obtained the relics of an alien civilization, and even received direct assistance from an alien civilization!
And then came the technological explosion as it is now!
And now the scene before them seemed to corroborate this!
The figure before them, covered in an unknown armor, who would dare to say that it wasn't an alien?
Just thinking about these things, all the camels present couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine!
At a certain moment, the impulse to turn around and walk away immediately had arisen in some.
According to the information released by Black and White Eagle Village previously, the purpose of the aliens coming to Blue Star was to plunder its resources and colonize it!!
Just like the initial colonization by the Anglosphere colonial world, which conquered the whole world!
If what was before them was truly an alien, then wouldn't they be inviting a wolf into their home now?
