Chapter 461 460.You may be making a small profit, but I’m definitely not losing out
As the Shadow of the Swamp incident advanced into the Monday of the second week, the dynamics around the battlefield changed in a new way.
Although the NPCs will not directly participate in the attack, Lord Murphy obviously does not want to see his warriors killed in the swamp as a “blank slate”, so the NPCs quickly use their own practical actions to provide the necessary help for the warriors in the swamp.
Sharkbot: [Brothers, the prestige equipment of the supporting forces was installed this morning!
The camps in the outlying districts of Crimsonwood Fortress have been updated with swords and knives forged by the Northmen’s fine craftsmanship, a watery Winterwolf Legion handful of military goods, ah, with a racy appearance and practical attributes, even the Thorn Clan’s standardized Assassination Fist Blades and Smoke Bombs.
The only requirement is that you must brush the reputation of the Crimson Fortress to respect, and this batch of weapons has a quantity limit, after buying, there is no more, so there is a need for brothers to hurry up to squeak, we can do this side of the ‘shopping’!
Just pay us a small fee for the favors and errand expenses].
A post swiped out on the forums, immediately attracting the attention of the players who were currently involved in the Swamp Raid.
Lin Bei dog-plowed: [Post it! Post it! Let’s see how the attributes are, we’re following Cat over here on the western front, we can’t rush over there for a while.
But the equipment on my body does need to be updated.
The armor effect of the Clan Defender’s set is still great, but the ‘Blood Sucking’ phrase on the Vampires’ standard weapons is completely useless against the undead, so the advantage can’t be brought into play at all.
Giant Sharkbear: [Wait, I’ll take a picture for you guys.
Most of the weapons over here have [Slow] and [Freeze] phrases, it seems that the Yankees are really good at playing with ice, by the way, this kind of phrase should be very useful against the undead, right?
Moe Haha: [The Avalon Protectorate’s camps have also updated their support equipment, the equipment over here has [Growth] and [Self-Healing], and some of the equipment labeled [Objects of Faith] has a ‘Nature Condemnation’ effect, which doubles the damage of dealing with enemies of nature.
This is more suitable for dealing with the undead, right?
Lumina Yang Mark: [Moeha don’t sell them here, you’re a rookie yourself don’t mislead the others, the Church of Avalon’s high level equipment has faith requirements, the vampires can’t use it at all.
However, this side on a batch of supplies, witch hunter alchemists made the undead killer sword oil and nature summoning scroll is a good thing, everyone can use.
If you need them, we can buy them for you.
I will count the list and let Brother Woo Meow buy it, he is an Oak Knight and also has the status of a preacher, he can be 20% off, buy is to earn ah! We’re all buddies, so we’ll just pay for the errand.
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex: [666, give me twenty copies! I want to drink sword oil as tea.
A punch to the Galaxy: [Little Lumi give our team to order ten copies, a moment to let Da Sai En go over to pick up, he runs fast, in addition, the giant shark also give us to order five sets of north brother weapon.
We want giant swords, battle axes, battle bows, short swords and daggers, and defensive swords and shields.
Speaking of which, @Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Car Car, did the support forces on your western front not brush out support equipment?
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cart: [Yes, there are several gunsmiths that have appeared in the camps of the Canary Flower Vanguard, and they’re selling standardized firearms. But I don’t play with guns, this handmade hunting revolver of Count Sherron in my hand is good enough]]
Spicy Goo Goo Chicken: [Don’t listen to Che Che’s nonsense, the firearms given by people on the side of the Golden Canary Blossom Vanguard are still very good, I’ll post the picture for you guys, and if you need it, I can do a substitute purchase if you want to deduct 1.
Our beast group in this side of the reputation probably to respect, buy things 10% discount.
If you want me to recommend it, I highly recommend their Dwarf Trench Gun, powerful, easy to use, simple structure, a clean piece of even do not need precision lock, except for the gold-fired pellets have to add money to buy nothing wrong with it.
There are also other explosives available from the Vanguard.
Although the quality and destructive power of the standard does not necessarily better than our own, but the victory in the price of cheap and sufficient quantity, like to blow blow blow brothers blessed.
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [Give me the same one, by the way, help me order 10,000 gold-burning projectiles, I see that their price here is much cheaper than buying from Mrs. Tris.
Gotta stock up on more while I can.
@What color is loyalty, Brother Loyalty, you guys keep saying you’re drumming up guns, everyone’s in the swamp now and desperately needs fire support ah, why haven’t you heartless ones come up with something usable and awesome yet?
The promised lack of firepower phobia is now intensified ah, urgent need a little powerful things to save the scene, really can not get out of it is also okay, the iron fist big tube you do a little more for the brothers to use ah.
That thing is powerful, encountered a pile of skeleton army a cannon blast over to solve a thousand sorrows ah].
What color is loyalty: [Blah blah blah, childish talk, what do you mean we can’t get the product out? We’re already stepping up the production of our ‘secret weapon’, okay?
One week at most!
You guys be patient for one more week and watch us give you the whole big job and make sure you can push under Plague Town in one wave].
Mrs. Warm Atmosphere Water: [This is what you said, Brother Loyalty, the big words have been thrown down now, if you can’t get it done by the time don’t blame everyone for laughing at you].
Loyalty is what color: [sunglassescool.jpg, you guys just wait and see, I and a few of my brothers will use practical action to tell you what is called technology is the first productive force.
No more bragging with you guys, I’m going to check out the processing progress.]]
The next time in the forum has become a “shopping center”, because the three fronts do not interfere with each other, resulting in players scattered in the three regions have no way to run back and forth.
However, the weapons and equipment updated by the three supporting forces are obviously specially dispatched for the swamp battle, so the three parties have to share everything with each other in order to ensure that everyone is armed to the teeth in the shortest possible time.
But buy equipment this kind of thing is always rely on money to talk, for the old players, rely on the money saved before to buy a few guns a few swords is not a big problem, but those who enter the game once a week the new brothers are shy, so let the “angel lender” small reed name and ruthlessly brushed a wave of sense of existence.
She opened a separate post a long time ago, that post specializes in putting “armed loans” to new players in the game, in the post to record the name of each person and then and they agreed to repay the date.
She thought the thread would last a week at most, but it turned out to be the fourth month of the game, and the thread was still there and getting longer and longer.
There was always interest in loans, though, and if one was a little more shady and “legal” it was enough to ensure that new players would be working for little Vikki for a long time. But the rich little rich woman obviously do not care about such a little gain, she gave everyone only 3% interest, repayment date of one month.
If you can’t pay it back by then, give the little reed name a word, and then give you a month’s grace.
It can be said that it is completely in the vote, see the old Huo and his four secretaries a face of egg pain.
This is a good business ah!
You only need to operate a little bit to ensure that you get a stable and long-lasting source of wealth, but Little Vikrama would rather spend time collecting gold coins on the forums than use his brain to make money.
Apparently, her pursuit of fun was far more important than profit.
Of course, there is another possibility that Vivian is enjoying the “sense of fulfillment” in this way, and in her own state, the spiritual satisfaction of helping others is obviously higher than the pitiful gain of making money in this way.
Vikrama is said to be convincing her parents to apply, but this game is still a bit too “advanced” for a middle-aged couple.
Her parents have a lot of work to do, so this kind of convincing will probably take a while.
At the moment, in the rear camp on the western front of the Dirty Swamp, Colonel Fraser was standing in his tent and looking out.
The camp was already crowded with people at the stalls set up by several of the Pathfinder Legion’s gunsmiths, and Murphy’s Warriors were still lined up shouting about something, noisily filling the camp with an atmosphere of life that was out of place on the battlefield.
And the number of weapons they were purchasing clearly exceeded their own usage, which made the colonel realize that these guys were presumably bringing a share for their brothers on other fronts.
“Unity!”
The colonel thought in his mind:
“Although I had already witnessed the unity of these guys during the previous attack on the Blood Vulture Cloisters, I now seem to have a better understanding of their group philosophy. They clearly possess other wonderful qualities beyond their valor and fearlessness, especially this indescribable mindset…”
Fraser returned his gaze to the resting soldiers in the camp, the guarding of the seven outposts ahead of them was rotated, the intensity of the fighting was not insignificant, the soldiers of his own vanguard regiment showed exhaustion and resistance to the swampy environment during their three day rotation.
That laziness and resistance contrasted sharply with the warriors’ exuberance. It seemed that for them, fighting in this damned swamp was like an armed excursion filled with some kind of fun that even professional soldiers couldn’t understand.
“What a strange bunch of people.”
The colonel bristled as he decided to take a closer look at these guys.
So he straightened his clothes and walked out of the tent, only to hear someone in the crowd lined up in front of him scream out before he even took a few steps:
“The high-level NPCs are refreshed! It’s Colonel Fraser, Miss Becky’s fiancé and Consul Miriam’s rumored boyfriend! Wow, a double-crossing scumbag! Quick! Where’s the FFF? Get the kerosene and burn him.”
“Swish.”
Colonel Fraser’s face instantly grimaced.
Although he didn’t know what the word “enphi” meant in these guys’ mouths, and he guessed that it was a hillbilly saying to describe everyone but them, he understood the second half of the sentence.
He clearly had nothing to do with Miriam, and Becky was treating him poorly now.
One simply didn’t have one foot in both boats!
On the contrary, he was drowning now that he had nowhere to land in the river of feelings.
Of course, those guys must have been joking when they said they were going to burn him to death, because a few seconds later, Fraser was surrounded by a group of players, who were asking him in a variety of ways if he needed their help with something.
The weird enthusiasm and the way they looked at him made Fraser feel like a “delicious pastry” surrounded by a group of hungry gourmets waiting for their share.
He remembered the training he received from the administration office on how to deal with the mountain people when he left the Scarlet Fortress, so he gripped his arithmetic pearl, coughed, and said:
“My soldiers are very tired from the fierce battle, they may need to relax during the rest, if you can find some entertainment for my soldiers that will not affect the battle, I will be very satisfied with your help.
Of course, I will also provide you with the necessary rewards.
Also my father has a birthday coming up and I have been hesitant to present him with a gift, I would like you to give me some treasures to choose from.
My father is more of a fan of ancient weapons as well as some collectibles that possess a fey style.”
“Wow, the Colonel gave two quests at once, how generous.”
As the arithmetic pearl updated the players with Colonel Fraser’s request, the group of guys instantly dispersed in a flurry of satisfaction and ran off to do the quests.
Its dry gesture left the colonel a bit at a loss.
No, are you guys that realistic?
Taking a quest and running away?
At least say a few words.
He grumbled with a full stomach, and when he returned to the tent after circling around the camp, he saw that someone had already set up a table with some square cubes over there, inviting the soldiers on leave to come and play.
The colonel knew that it was a kind of entertainment called “mahjong”.
He and Major Ron had seen this kind of thing in the Treasure Bay Casino before, it was a simple and magical strategy game, it was really good for entertainment.
While he was writing today’s diary, several players ran over with “collectibles” they had gotten from somewhere.
The colonel looked at the five ancient rusted weapons in front of his eyes in disbelief, he could not understand how these guys could act so efficiently.
Doesn’t it take time to find things?
One or two would be fine, but these past few days whenever he issued a mission to look for antiquities, a large number of warriors would come back as soon as possible with things that fully met the criteria of his requirements.
What the hell was wrong with these Transylvanian mountain people?
The few players surrounding the colonel at this moment were still waiting for the colonel to give them rewards.
Hehehe, fortunately, Badger had compiled the “Carpe Family Prestige Raiders” post before, letting everyone know the items needed for the several random quests Colonel Frazier would release, and now there were people who were dedicated to collecting Ancient Weapons in the swamp to use for exchanging them to the others to brush up on the Colonel’s Prestige.
There is little of anything in the filthy swamp, but the only thing that is abundant is these “ancient items” that have survived the four black plagues.
Not to mention that the colonel needed to pick out an exquisite collection for his father, even if Earl Lyon wanted to get a complete skeleton of an ancient soldier, the players would be able to get it for him.
It’s just a matter of finding an ancient battlefield in a swamp and digging it up, isn’t it?
Simple as that.
Fraser blinked.
Suddenly realizing that he should have some fun in his boring swamp life as well, he gave a couple of players a generous payment as usual.
As the other man counted the payment coins, the colonel suddenly coughed a few times and said:
“In addition to being a soldier, I’m also a writer, I’m collecting material for the record of the whole process of this swamp battle, I heard that those jackal warlocks carry some marks and texts related to their race, I know it’s dangerous, but I also believe that the warriors of Transylvania can always satisfy my needs.
Therefore, I am entrusting you with this important task .”
“Fuck! Unseen new quest, this must be a special quest that will be triggered after the Colonel’s goodwill is brushed to a certain level, hurry up and take it.”
The “Ruthless Horseshoe Bugs” surrounding Fraser shouted to his brothers, who happily took the mission and ran out to post a new message on the forums.
The scene was all over the Colonel, making Fraser grin.
He looked down and wrote in his journal:
“The mountain people of Transylvania clearly possess a simple warmth, perhaps because their traditions make it so that they will never turn down any request from someone they consider a friend, even the most difficult of tasks they will throw themselves into with 100% enthusiasm…”
On the other hand, in the command room of Crimson Fortress, His Excellency Baldwin, the Winter Wolf General stationed here, was listening to the report of his retainer with an egg on his face.
He put down the cigar smoke in his hand, exhaled a smoke ring and said:
“Did those strange Transylvanians really clean all the rooms in the fortress as we requested and also cleaned out a bunch of hidden ghouls in the sewers? Are they out of their minds?
How can they do such a good job with such obvious provocation? Where on earth did Governor Murphy find these living treasures?”
“Yes, General, the Transylvanians cannot be reasoned with.”
The hapless squire said softly:
“They are still approaching our Quartermaster for more work, perhaps trying to gain our favor, but with the strict military discipline at Fort Crimson, we really don’t have much work left to give them.”
“Who says there isn’t?”
General Winterwolf sneered, stood up and said:
“Murphy asked us to take out a portion of our own armaments to sell to his soldiers at cost, and although the orders between Archduke Shani made it hard for us to refuse this request, it doesn’t mean that we’ve become friends with the Transylvanians.
They’ll have to show their worth if they want to keep getting low-cost armaments from us!
If they’re happy to take on the work, then give them the weapon maintenance and a portion of the tedious castle maintenance that needs to be taken on by the soldiers as well.
If necessary, things like cleaning the latrines can even be given to them as well.
But you have to pay attention to watch out, don’t let them have contact with the armed blood servants in the castle.
Perhaps this is a test for Murphy!
The 10,000 armed blood servants in Crimsonwood Fortress are a great danger, we can’t assimilate them and we can’t trust them. Alas, the overly successful persuasion of the Thorn Clan in the first place has really left me with a mess that is difficult to deal with!
Perhaps it’s time for us to think of something to solve this headache-inducing hidden danger before the Black Plague really breaks out.”
