Chapter 395: Triggering Regional Events—The Battle for the Dead Mines

Chapter 395: Triggering Regional Event—Dead Mine Battle for Control

By the time the Pioneering Group members captured Marlin Camp and arrived at Dead Mine Town.

It was already 4 AM.

This was precisely the time when the Thugs were deep in slumber.

With the help of Quis's trusted aides, the Pioneering Group quietly entered Dead Mine Town and established control over key areas.

Prior to this, through Zhi Zhi's confirmation, Yu Yuan had already captured the two individuals who were secretly plotting in the corner of the bar.

He successfully confirmed that these two were the traitors hidden within the Dead Mine Brotherhood.

Interrogation also revealed a list of other bought-off leaders.

These were only at the squad leader level, and the Thugs under their command had all defected as well.

A total of 37 people.

Originally, according to their plan, they intended to continue bribing more people.

But the appearance of the rare earth mineral source completely disrupted their plans, leading to today's events.

However, based on the two men's intelligence, Quis had rejected the Reyes Legion's demand for the rare earth minerals this time, and the Reyes Legion had already decided to completely take over Dead Mine Town.

As for why they were in such a hurry, the two didn't know.

Now, with the help of these traitors, the probability of success was still quite high.

The traitors' mission was clear: when the Reyes Legion launched their attack, seize the opportunity to kill Quis and other high-ranking members, coordinate with the Reyes Legion from within and without, and capture Dead Mine Town.

They had even planned to arrange for people to secretly plant bombs at the locations of those important Defensive Fortifications in the next couple of days, and then detonate them at the critical moment.

One could say they had schemed meticulously.

After hearing the confessions of the two men, Quis's face had already turned extremely grim.

Yu Yuan, on the other hand, was quite concerned about the matter of the Reyes Legion.

Based on the two men's intelligence, Yu Yuan guessed that war was a matter of days away.

However, there was also an unexpected gain.

That was the Marlin Camp that Alpha had just captured; it actually played a significant role in this.

The intelligence transmission between the Reyes Legion and the traitors was mainly conducted through people from Marlin Camp.

Because several of the traitors were responsible for collecting supplies, and every time Marlin Camp submitted their harvested resources, it was these traitors who handled the handover.

All of this indicated that the Reyes Legion's coveting of Dead Mine Town was long premeditated.

Or rather, they had never given up on occupying this place.

Now that the traitor list was obtained and the Pioneering Group was already in position, the next steps were simple.

All 37 traitors were captured while still asleep.

Quis wanted to execute them on the spot, but Yu Yuan stopped him.

Such good human resources, what a waste to just execute them.

Serving as test subjects or miners was the best destination for them.

At the same time.

A mechanical prompt tone sounded in Yu Yuan's ear.

[Ding... Completion of suppression of the Dead Mine Brotherhood triggered the 'Militarized Rule' Civilization Focus effect. Dead Mine Brotherhood stability increased.]

Yu Yuan looked at the control level of [Dead Mine Brotherhood] on the Virtual Light Screen; it had already reached 100%.

Including the control progress of [Anger Wilderness], which also surged to 61% in one go.

[Ding... Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has achieved control over 'Dead Mine Brotherhood' ≥ 90%, control over current region ≥ 50%, triggering Regional Event—Dead Mine Battle for Control]

Regional Event—Dead Mine Battle for Control

Event Level: Silver

Danger Level: Medium

Introduction: Due to the discovery of rare earth resources in the Dead Mine, the Reyes Legion has decided to wage war against Dead Mine Town. The Reyes Legion is determined to obtain the rare earth resources, posing a severe challenge for the Dead Mine Brotherhood. But most crucially, to ensure absolute success, the Reyes Legion has sought help from the overlord-level faction in Merry City—[Dawn Consortium].

Requirements:

① Under the assault and siege of the Reyes Legion, hold the Dead Mine Town position for at least 2 days without being captured.

② Repel the Reyes Legion's attack, resolve this crisis, and inflict no less than 200 casualties on the Reyes Legion.

③ Defeat the reinforcements from the Reyes Legion and the Dawn Consortium, achieving a complete victory.

Reward: Based on the completion status of mission requirements, receive 1~3 civilization rewards.

——————————

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Yu Yuan was genuinely somewhat delighted.

He hadn't expected to trigger a Regional Event here as well.

Judging from the event level and danger level.

This event, for the Dead Mine Brotherhood.

Could only be described as quite dangerous, but not without a chance of victory.

The greatest threat among them was probably the support from that overlord-level faction, the [Dawn Consortium].

These might still pose a threat to the Dead Mine Brotherhood.

But for Yu Yuan...

Actually... they're really not worth worrying about!

Even if he didn't personally intervene, just relying on the Pioneering Group and their [Yo-yo Assault Rifles] would be enough to fight them to a standstill.

However, for such a rare training opportunity, he naturally had no intention of letting it pass.

One must know, Soldiers in the [Recruit Training Camp] have a high probability of obtaining the [Elite Recruit] and [Veteran] identity templates after experiencing combat.

The reason Yu Yuan previously had Alpha lead the Pioneering Group to clear out the scavenger factions.

Was precisely to let them train while also obtaining new identity templates.

The facts proved his arrangement was effective.

Seven out of fifty soldiers had already had their identity templates changed to [Elite Recruit].

Yu Yuan planned to use this Regional Event to farm a batch of [Elite Recruit] templates, preparing for the war to advance to the Bronze rank later.

With the traitors under control, Quis also presented the evidence of these people's collusion with the Reyes Legion, gathering all the Thugs to announce the entry into a pre-war preparation state.

Everyone prepared to face the attack from the Reyes Legion.

The entire Dead Mine Town suddenly entered a state of tense busyness.

Although many Thugs were very curious about Yu Yuan and the Pioneering Group who had suddenly appeared here.

They all noticed the respectful and humble attitude of their leader, Quis.

The important leaders had already received notification from Quis; everyone knew.

The Brotherhood, the sky had changed!

Although some people were rather stunned and surprised.

Upon seeing the awe-inspiring discipline and imposing presence of the Pioneering Group, they all silently shut their mouths.

Quis also arranged for over a dozen trucks to follow the Pioneering Group to the previous camps to transport the spoils and prisoners of war, including those lumberjacks.

Yu Yuan left the matters of Dead Mine Town to Quis.

Possessing the [Unshakable Fortress] talent, Quis was the true expert in positional defense warfare.

Yu Yuan had no intention of intervening in the slightest.

He had more important things to do.

That was to select a location and stabilize the civilization teleportation channel with Green Forest City.

Green Forest City was his foundation, his greatest trump card.

The Reyes Legion came with ill intentions, and the situation was unknown.

Although he was confident, necessary preparations still had to be made.

He needed to complete the deployment as soon as possible.

Yu Yuan rode Mie Mie and quickly circled around Dead Mine Town.

Finally, he arrived at an area between Dead Mine Town and the mine shaft. This place was backed against a cliff wall, a rather good location.

"Right here then!"

Yu Yuan hesitated no longer.

He opened the Virtual Light Screen, opened the [Primary Civilization War Fortress] page, and began operations.
