Chapter 318 317. Lady Adele’s Warrior Selection
On the topic of “twilight”, Murphy has been very “restrained”, so far, this matter is only he and Tris involved.

The vampire lord does not want too many people to know these things at this stage.

After all, from the information received so far, this mysterious dusk power is so huge that it has infiltrated all the big powers, and they have more than two plans filed in Transylvania alone.

If you counted the Jackal Warlocks searching for lost treasure in the Filthy Swamp, that would be three.

Murphy still didn’t know why Dusk had to make a big deal out of Transylvania, but it was certain that these guys definitely weren’t holding back any good thoughts.

This was something he had to take seriously and seriously, and its importance could even be ranked before dealing with the Black Plague.

Murphy didn’t want to drag everyone around him into danger because of Dusk, it wasn’t just to protect them, it was actually to protect himself as well.

So before Bella the necromancer could begin her narrative, he signaled with a look for Adele to leave the office first, which Sister E obediently did, and which rightfully elicited a very disgruntled complaint from Bella:
“You’ve turned the jewel of the secluded valley into your loyal dog! You fucking vampire!”

It cursed in a gesture of anger that should not belong to an undead creature:

“If Truman is still around!
If he were to see this scene, that valiant King of Gladiators, that mighty Hydra whose fame has spread throughout the Eternal Rift would definitely take your head off in the most brutal way possible!”

“However, the ‘King of Gladiators’ that you speak of happened to choose to go to his death so that you guys could survive, and if I were to be more cruel, I could even say that it was you guys who killed him!”

Murphy said in a cold voice:
“He could have lived, as a half-elf he could have lived for a thousand years! But it was because of you guys that he died in an unexplained manner when his life had just started and was heading towards a glorious splendor.

I can understand Adele’s resentment towards her mother, and I don’t intend to get involved, and I suggest you don’t either!

The child in your eyes has grown up.

She’s wise enough to deal with every single thing in her life that disappoints her, and from what I’ve seen, Adele is not disgusted with her life as a vampire.

She has reveled in it after the merciful darkness of the night opened its arms to embrace her.

So, let’s just put things in perspective and say!
What do you know about Dusk?”

“Not as much as you think, I’m afraid.”

The necromancer’s gray eyes flashed a green light that made it quickly regain its composure and rationality, and now that it was in need of help plus Adele’s relationship, it couldn’t stand up in front of Murphy, so it could only reply in a gloomy tone:

“The only Dusk servant I know is that punk Zweig, and I’m not even sure if the jackal warlock who enslaved us is related to Dusk.

But one thing is certain.

Those jackal warlocks are the ones who learned necromancy from the Dusk followers!
I have personally seen the scene where they were studying the mysteries of the underworld in a secret room with a few mysterious Dusk believers, and the Command Scepter that was taken away by you earlier was also crafted by the Jackal Warlocks under the tutelage of those few Dusk believers.

There are many more like it in their possession, and those jackal warlocks rely on them to manipulate the vast army of the dead under their command.

I don’t have to tell you how many of those dead were awakened in the Tainted Swamp.

I will only say that it is an astronomical number large enough to overwhelm the Scarlet Fortress.

Fate treats those dead with such indifference.

Those dead who had their peace disturbed had been heroes and warriors who had fought against the jackal hordes in the four Black Plagues, yet they were not allowed to rest in peace after their deaths.

Of course that includes me, a nobody.”

The necromancer made an exclamation and then addressed Murphy:
“In reality though I have a feeling that this is my guess without any proof.

But I don’t think those jackal warlocks are all that confident in finding the lost treasure of the King of Biting Bones either, they are just doing their assigned job.

The reason why they are building up such a huge military force in the Tainted Swamp is also just to prepare for the 5th Black Plague’s onslaught.

Can you understand that?
This time the Black Calamity won’t just be the legions of Jackals, but will also be joined by the forces of the dead, which is terribly bad news for you.”

“I think there must be something going on here that you haven’t been paying attention to.”

Murphy asked, narrowing his eyes:

“According to what you said, it’s impossible for such a large-scale mobilization of the dead not to attract the attention of other forces, especially the Blood League Knights who are constantly parading around the Dark Mountain Range.

They don’t enter the Tainted Swamp but…”

“Stupidity! Condescending!”

The necromancer Bella interrupted Murphy as it exclaimed:

“The Jackals have learned many means from the Dusk Believers, and among them is the wonderful art of concealment.

The aura from the Underworld realm surrounds the great lair they built in the depths of the swamp, and that is enough to cut off any probes from the outside world, I even know that more than a month ago, the First Lord of the Blood League Knights passed through the swamp and made a one-night stopover at the Crimson Fortress!
All outside movement near the swamp is under their watchful eye!

You have underestimated the Jackals, and you have underestimated the Dusk.

Oh yeah, there’s one more thing I can share with you, I hope you’re not too surprised when you hear about it.”

The necromancer let out an odd laugh.

It said in a sinister tone:
“The destruction of the city of Naxico on the Transylvanian Earth was just a test, a ‘death offering’ unleashed by the members of the Dusk Believers in the Tower of the Ring.

I had secretly read the Jackal Warlock’s notes that recorded the plans of those Dusk Believers in Transylvania, and I have only seen a small part of it, but I can clearly tell you that beneath the ruins of the city of Sicor hides an army of undead that is no less than the Necrotic creatures in the Tainted Swamp.

They are free for now, but as soon as the Dusk Believers give the order .
Ah!
I can’t say any more, that damned restriction is nearly tearing my heart and soul apart, but I guess you know enough already. Transylvania fell to them long ago, Lord Governor.

You just don’t know it.

It’s not as if you ruling is some kind of dump, so don’t think too hard about your situation.

This is a crater about to erupt! We’re all going to be buried here, and what really angers me is that you’re dragging our Adele into this perilous situation.

I should continue to curse you, but it’s done, I advise you to make a quick and necessary escape plan, I don’t care about the rest of the people in this city, people live and die anyway.

But Adele must live!
She is the life extension of Mona and Truman.

She deserves a happy and fulfilling life! And once the Black Plague breaks out, it’s uncertain if your Transylvania will survive a week.”

“This news of yours comes at a good time, and I should say thank you, even though I don’t feel like it.”

Murphy rose with a flourish and took hold of the core jewel to connect the communication between Knight Valander and Little Count Sherron.

These two guys had just led the Winged Cavalry’s recruits to the Sikor Territory for subject training early this morning, and at their speed this would have already left Earl Cadman’s territory, and the lord felt that he should tell his subordinates about this news.

Murphy’s brain was aching.

He knew that Transylvania had a lot of problems, but this kind of fatal developments coming one after another really made people a bit tense.

He felt that he should think of a way to take a little bit of the pressure off himself, especially the threats in Xike City and the Filthy Swamp, that really wasn’t a trouble that Murphy could easily solve with his players.

Can’t!

He himself must shake people now.
—
Adele leaves the office. She didn’t know what kind of heavy hitter her Uncle Bella had brought to her master, but that didn’t stop E-sister from selecting people for her upcoming secret mission from now on.

Murphy’s comment that Adele wasn’t keen on building her own faction wasn’t really true.

While it was true that Adele didn’t have a military force as large as Maxim’s under her command, she also didn’t need a strong army to aid in the battle for an intelligence officer, and she practiced laws much like Lord Murphy’s style.

It was called “better to have a few than a lot”.

She quickly arrived at the city sewers and entered the secret stronghold of the Blood Rats, and after seeing Lady Adele appear, Ms. Dorothy, who had just flown back from the Smuggler’s Woods, immediately bristled.

This rat gang boss was still planning to happily fish, but when she saw the serious face of her “superior”, she knew that she must have another job to do.

In addition to Dorothy, Adele has an heir named Dana.

She is also on her way here, this guy is one of the last survivors of Jade’s group, there were three of them, but the unlucky Doreen and Loss died in the Gray Claw faction’s raid, and finally Dorothy took over.

As an “NPC” Adele doesn’t have a quota when it comes to developing heirs, but she doesn’t plan on abusing her blood bond.

As always, she believes in quality over quantity.

A few minutes later, Dana and Dorothy arrived at the Blood Rat Gang’s stronghold, and only then did Adele tell her heirs what she was going to do next.

Dorothy was the first to change her face after hearing that she was going to go deeper into the Filth Swamp next, as a former -Explorer’s Guild member, she had enough knowledge base to cognize what kind of hellish place the Filth Swamp really was.

“You really found us a job to die for!”

She complained:

“Even the best explorers write a suicide note before entering the Filthy Swamp, what exists there is still an unsolved mystery to the Explorer’s Guild, and right now there’s a troupe of Jackal Warlocks from the Dark Mountains.

This is a hell of a thing!”

The other vampire, Dinah, didn’t say anything but judging by her expression, she didn’t like this new job either, but Adele didn’t give them a choice as she said in a calm tone:
“I can allow you to complain, but after the tirade it’s time to make an executable plan, and I’ve already asked Lord Murphy for permission.

He has given us permission to recruit our own personal warriors for ourselves from now on.

Twelve places each!
You may also seek a champion warrior for yourselves if you are interested, which means that even if we don’t count the Blood Rats and the Blood Claw Tribe, we will have 50 men at our disposal.

50 Black Iron ranked warriors are already enough to break into the Filthy Swamp, of course, I’m not asking you to start now, we need to prepare a lot of things.

Until the Jackals of Hogg explore a safe path, I won’t rashly send you all to your deaths, but from now on, it’s time for the Phantom Intelligence Bureau’s center of gravity to shift to southern Transylvania.

Establish a permanent stronghold in the Smuggler’s Woodlands and recruit peripheral members in my Barony!

This isn’t just an adventure, or us hiding in the darkness to rid our homeland of a threat, it’s also a ‘test’ we’ll have to take as the Shadows of the Scarlet Fortress.”

She looked at her two compatriots in front of her, she could sense the unease in the hearts of these two through the connection between her honor and her children, so she added:
“Additionally, I will be requesting the assistance of the Earl of White Mountain with his Thorned Nightwalkers, perhaps we can learn some of the tricks of the trade for surviving in the shadows from the sharpest of vampire civilizations, the Sword of Darkness.

I mean, this whole thing isn’t really as dangerous as you think”

“But our manpower is truly insufficient, my lord.”

Dorothy wailed sadly:

“Even if we start recruiting peripheral informants and our own warriors right now, it’s going to take time to train them, and there’s just not enough time left for us to have enough.

But perhaps we can think of another idea.”

This cunning Rat Gang leader rolled her eyes as she said:
“We might be able to just recruit the guys who are capable, I mean, my former counterparts, certainly not in Transylvania, those guys have dog noses, they ran out before the disaster broke out, maybe we could go around to the East Prussia or Kavkhoka area.

While the loyalty of these old greasers is questionable, they at least have the stature and the skills to help us set up quickly.”

“That would indeed be a good idea.”

Dana said with a nod of agreement:

“Before I mean, during the reign of the damned Salokdar, the Blood Wyvern Clan had a lot of similarly peripheral members who maintained a fairly close cooperation with us, and those rats each have their own way of being a force to be reckoned with as well indeed.”

“No, we don’t want those fish and chips.”

Adele shook her head:

“We can use their intelligence network, but we can’t incorporate them into our organization! Lord Murphy is picky in that regard, and he doesn’t want the New-Blood Wyvern to be tainted with that unsettling gray-blackness from its birth.

I already have thoughts and ideas about the core strength of our organization, I will be responsible for recruiting new people, you only need to make the preliminary preparations.

Regarding the choice of your respective warriors, this is the top priority!”

“This is not a problem for you at all.”

Dorothy said in an odd tone:
“Your popularity amongst Lord Murphy’s warriors is quite high, they always like to move towards you, and although I think they have bad intentions, if you do need twelve warriors then all it takes is for you to call out and there will be more than enough warriors for you to choose from.”

“Uh.”

Lady Adele’s face fell and she bristled:
“I don’t like the way you describe it, and I don’t like that damn ‘popularity’ either, I look for ability and potential, and so should you all.”

With that said, she nodded goodbye to her heirs with the grace a vampire should have and flapped her wings and disappeared into the darkness.

Dorothy grimaced and leaned back in her chair, fumbling for her arithmetic pearl to send a message to her disciple, Frostfang Claw, informing him to come over and prepare to become his warrior.

On the other hand, Lady Adele’s side used her authority to have all the smaller players send out a quest, she had been following Murphy to learn how to deal with the players, so the text of the quest she sent out hardly needed any more modifications by Murphy.

“Ding.”

Border City Wanderer, who was fighting Skeleton Soldiers in the Smuggler’s Woodland, heard the commotion and looked down, and a random event reminder popped up on the player interface:
[Hundred Days Great Construction Operation – Special Preparation Event – ‘Lady Adele’s Warrior Selection’ has been triggered!

“Yo.”

Brother Prodigal Son raised his eyebrows and said to Mr. Ziwei, who was grabbing a gun and looking left and right beside him:
“This is not a professional match, come on, let’s go and try it out too.”
