Chapter 207 206. the night of the ghoul riot -Alliance owner’s bonus, begging for monthly tickets! [515]
(Raise for brother ‘Little Empty Has Water to Drink’ [5/5])
At the same time that Brother Woo Meow’s six-man team and the construction site duo used a large amount of explosives to detonate at once to blow open the shell above the underground cavern, also on the road leading to the ancient sewer area, Brother Cat, who had previously defeated a Blood Alliance Reserve Knight, was sharing today’s combat experience with his Soldier Strike brothers.
“Those Blood Alliance Reserve Knights are fierce! They’re quite good at fighting head-on, and they’re two extremes from the Blood Vulture Vampires who always try to catch weaknesses to target their attacks.”
Cat, who had already aspired to walk the path of a “weapon master” in the classic career system, said as he grabbed the halberd in his hand and swung it around to get a feel for it:
“They’re the most suitable opponents for our style of play, I think this might be a special event for the Fight Club to refresh for a limited period of time, you guys can also go and fight when you have nothing else to do. Group battles might come out after this playstyle!
At that time, the five of us will go together and battle the Blood Alliance Knights for a few rounds.
Lord Maxim’s side has already posted new challenge rules, if you win five battles against the Blood League Knights, you’ll get a standard commander-grade ‘Scarlet Gladiator’ suit component.
Although that thing is actually a ‘skinned’ version of the Clan Guard suit dyed red, it has very useful attribute-enhancing enchantments, and it’s a much easier 1V1 battle than spending time running to fight a copy.”
“That’s easier for you, isn’t it, Cat.”
Grasping his battle spear and small round shield, Hedong Lion Roar, who had already switched to the “Gladiator” advanced profession and dressed himself up like Pansori, said bitterly:
“I also went up to fight tonight, but I didn’t beat them! Those guys are all elite monsters, and occasionally they give you an elite leader, all of them are skillful and powerful. We have just learned advanced battle techniques that have no proficiency bonus, and we’re going to roll over if we’re not careful.”
“That is the skill can not cackle, polishing well, the year knife and moon stick lifetime gun, three days without practicing the panic, practicing martial arts is this way, there is a good opponent that is unattainable good thing. Do you know how much it costs to hire a coach of this level in reality?
Believe me, this is a good thing.”
Cat waved his hand in disbelief.
As he moved forward in the dark through the sewers of the ancient area, he said:
“Now that we’ve turned on that Civil Protection Officer’s personal reputation, I reckon we’ll almost be able to learn more powerful advanced sword skills from Lord Kudel after this ghoul daily invasion fight tonight.
That guy’s heavy sword fighting style is the most perfect set I’ve ever seen.
Not only is it powerful and strong, it uses offense instead of defense, but it also has two sets of stances for foot and horse combat, so if we can learn it, then it won’t be easy to fight in a tournament or something.
Unfortunately, it’s not a standard sword art, so we’ll have to change it for real. What the hell is going on up ahead? What’s all the commotion?
It doesn’t feel right! Be careful.”
The extremely vigilant Cat immediately put his halberd behind his back and drew his sword and shield, and the four brothers around him immediately formed a combined group battle formation.
They slowly moved forward with their alchemy torches, and strange whistling sounds began to resonate from the hollow area in front of them and under their feet, and along with the whistling there was also a vibration that came from an unknown source.
It was as if something indescribable was happening in the depths of the earth beneath their feet, and the sound of those footsteps in the darkness of the night, which were getting closer and closer like a herd of beasts, was even more hair-raising.
But the brothers had no fear.
If there was any visible benefit of playing this game, it was definitely the ability to practice their guts.
After picking off ghouls, vampires and jackals head on in the game, even the most timid can be hardened.
Cat increasingly felt that something was wrong, he made a gesture for the crowd to stop, and then crouched down to remove his gauntlet and stick it to the ground to sense the vibration below, and soon, his expression became unusually shocked.
“Retreat! Quickly, retreat to the first floor!”
This sword art genius shouted:
“Send a message to the world channel! Tell everyone who can still move to hurry! The ghouls are rioting! There are at least a few thousand ghouls roaring and charging down there.”
“Fuck!”
Lin Bei cursed as he fumbled around, taking the Alchemy Explosives out of his bag and dropping them on the ground and gluing the fuses together again, and Chuanxi Wolfwalker would already be shaking people in the world channel by now.
They didn’t doubt Cat’s judgment because they had also already heard the clear scratching sound!
That was clearly the sound made by the claws of the ghouls scratching the rocks, and from that dense sound effect one could hear how many ghouls were rushing into the sewer area below.
The five brothers quickly retreated back to the entrance of this tunnel, and Yannan Tigershot, who had a specialization in marksmanship, grabbed a precisely calibrated hunting musket.
The moment a large swath of ghouls rushed out along the tunnel wailing, he fired decisively.
Scorching hot projectile flew out and ignited the fuse that dog planer had just placed there, hissing in a dozen of explosive bombs exploded in a few seconds, low muffled sound accompanied by the impact of the formation of dense ghouls were blown out a lot, but this can not stop the ghouls that are coming out of the front of the army.
The worst thing was that these ghouls were also mixed with some ghosts.
They seemed to be driven by something, and also seemed to be afraid of some strange things, making them scatter along the sewers of the ancient area like a mercury cascade.
“Madness! These bastards are crazy.”
Hedo Roar, who had retreated to the exit of the first floor sewers, cursed:
“The dog plotting is alive again in its entirety! F*ck, I just barely cleared the ghouls on the first floor of the sewers before, and now I have to fight them all over again?”
“This isn’t as simple as a ‘copy refresh’!”
Next to him, Lin Bei dogpiled and barked:
“If they rush out of the sewers, all those workers who just entered the city today will have to die, and maybe we won’t even be able to defend the forward camp outside the city.”
“Right, we can’t run.”
Cat said sternly:
“Get someone to report to Lord Murphy quickly! Call Brother Stick and tell him to hurry up and bring people to block the first floor of the sewers, and all the newcomers practicing there to quit! They can’t hold back so many ghostly things.”
“F*ck, what’s wrong with this ghouls? How did so many of them spring out all at once?”
Just as Cat finished speaking, his private chat resounded with the exclamation of “Sewer Specialist” Happy Stick, who shouted:
“Woo Meow’s Big Bird Group just got wiped out, and they posted on the forums that there’s a ‘new copy’ at the bottom of the old sewers! You guys shouldn’t stay there either, it’s useless! There’s more than just that one connection between the first and second floor sewers, so pull out quickly! Or you’ll be surrounded!
I’ve already shaken people.
The NPCs are out too, so you five hurry out.”
“Brother Cat, the back is blocked by the Spiteful Spirits! Can’t get out crikey.”
Chuanxi Wolfwalker retreated back with a grimy face, his armor had a few more claw marks on it, and reported to Brother Cat:
“There’s another group of water spirits climbing up from the water behind us, that sewage ditch must be connected to the bottom, this four-sided leakage has at least rushed out a few thousand, we can’t kill our way out at all.”
“Alas, I’m afraid that my blood will be accounted for here.”
Cat also let out a long sigh of relief.
There was nothing he could do about this situation right now, he couldn’t just transform into a Super Saiyan and break the ground with a single punch to take his brothers out, right?
“You guys! Follow my instructions!”
Just as the group of five was planning to find a place to fight to the death against the ghouls that were pouring out from below, a low voice suddenly rang in their ears. It was a vampire’s onomatopoeic technique, and it didn’t mean that the person was right beside them, but the voice they all recognized was none other than the mysterious Vampire Bailiff Kudel, who had been wandering through the ancient area of the sewers.
“Go forward over the third fork, go to the end, and guard that tunnel exit!”
Kudel said in a muffled voice:
“There is something terrible down there I smell something different, this disaster is no accident! I must fulfill this duty of defense, and you all! I enlist you as my temporary escorts.
I see some children down there, I will send them out, you will be responsible for protecting them! Stick around until the vampires who claim to be doing good bring someone.”
[Ding! Hidden Quest-‘Temporary Squire of the Civil Protection Officer’ has been triggered!
“It’s finally fucking done!”
Cat waved his fist excitedly, and the other four brothers also looked joyful.
Although something like being surrounded by thousands of ghouls in the sewers sounded similar to sending them to their deaths, the fact that they had finally opened up the personal reputation of His Excellency Kudel, the Civil Protection Officer, was really something to be congratulated on.
And judging by this strange situation tonight, there might even be a big hidden event!
Tsk, the benefits are great!
—
In the Blood Wyvern Corridor, Murphy already knew that something had gone wrong tonight when the small players were in distress, his reaction was extremely quick to gather all the currently battle-ready forces under his command, the only pity was that Missy Femis had already departed with Adele and Earl Andre to the city of Sikor, leaving Murphy with one less powerful spell to support him.
But it doesn’t matter, with Mrs. Tris here, the ghouls can’t turn over the sky.
“I know there are ghouls in the sewers of your city, but how come there are so many? It doesn’t make sense!”
However, Ms. Laneia, who had just arrived at the Scarlet Fortress, was a bit puzzled, as she looked at the map of the city’s sewers spread out in front of her suspiciously and said:
“The sewer systems of the inner and outer city are separated, and there are also a large number of collapsed traces, making it impossible for the terrain here to accommodate so many ghouls coexisting together, so is there some special area that exists in your city’s sewers?”
Murphy and Tris looked at each other as he shook his head:
“My chief architects have just been on an ‘overly successful’ adventure, they have found an ancient underground cavern that was not marked on the map, and it has now been determined that that is the source of the ghoul plague.
As for just how many ghouls are there, I don’t have an answer for you, ma’am.”
“When Cadman City was attacked, there were one hundred and fifty thousand people in the city.”
Baroness Miriam, who had been summoned urgently, still rubbing her eyes in her pajamas and clutching her regal-looking Hammerguard trench gun, whispered:
“Even if half the population was swept into the Astral Plane, there are still seventy thousand left in the Material World, most of whom took refuge in the sewers when the disaster struck . All I can say is that this is probably the largest nest of ghouls found in the entire continent so far.
Perhaps it is because of the large number of workers entering the city today to toil, the convergence of life coupled with the dual factors of the expedition of His Excellency the Gray Man Beater that triggered the ghouls to go on a rampage of this magnitude?”
“No, it can’t be.”
Tris said, shaking her head:
“The ghouls aren’t that keen in their perception of life, they rushed out from the mysterious lowest area, which is at least fifty meters from the ground! Separated by several rock layers this thick and the interference of residual tainted psychic energy, not to mention ghouls, vampires like me can’t sense life activity either.
There must be some other reason for the ghouls’ strange movements tonight.
Perhaps it stemmed from some event that was taking place in that mysterious underground that those little warriors were just unlucky enough to run into, and the bad things that were happening had nothing to do with their curiosity, but that could come later.
Right now the biggest problem was to seal off the possibility of the ghouls breaking out of the ground.
There are a bit too many of them, and once they are allowed to break out of the ground, the forward camp outside the city will be in danger.”
“Maxim has already taken the veterans of the People’s Army into the various sewer entrances that have been discovered to set up a defense line, and President Natalie has gone to the village of Moorland to gather more witch hunters to come to their aid, which is kind of the first order of business since the adventurer’s guild was formed.”
Murphy’s finger nodded on the three areas of the sewer map.
He said:
“I will lead my warriors into the sewers to expel and kill those savage evil spirits and push into the second level ‘Ancient Area’ to establish a semi-permanent stronghold there, the hidden problems in the sewers look more serious than I thought.
But now that the exact location of the Ghoul’s Nest has been determined and the path to it has been opened, it’s time to take care of it!”
“What about us?”
Although Leonia didn’t like the local barbaric culture, she clearly knew the mission she was ordered to come here for, and took the initiative to ask for battle at this time and said:
“We can help as well, His Holiness Pa’ying wishes to see Transylvania complete the re-establishment of order before the outbreak of the Black Plague, and helping you to dispose of the nest of ghouls beneath the city will no doubt further the duties I have been tasked with.”
“Then you will begin your cleanup at the periphery of the sewers.”
Murphy said thoughtfully:
“Ordinary ghouls are just a nuisance for you guys that you can take care of casually, so I need you guys to wipe out the ghouls, grudges and water ghosts at the entrance of the first floor of the sewers as fast as you can, the reconstruction of the city has already begun, and I don’t want to see it halted for the damnedest of reasons.”
“Good!”
The Bow Knight responded in a deep voice:
“I’ll gather my knights at once, but don’t the Blood Servants in the camp need more supervision? They might be out of fear…”
“Those are not blood servants! Lady, watch your language!”
Miriam corrected, rather disgruntled:
“Those are free folk of Transylvania, and ‘bloodservant’ is not a good word in this great land. You need not worry about my camp, there is enough under curfew to keep order in it, and I will guard it and enlist a sufficient number of militia.”
“Then let’s get to work in our respective roles.”
Murphy waved his hand, summoning his own Starbound giant wolf, George, and said to Tris, who was frowning at the map next to him:
“You prepare the incineration spell and once the sewer floor is cleared, burn the place from end to end!”
“Burning the entire underground isn’t a problem, but Murphy, I think there’s a hidden agenda to this.”
Tris said, nodding her chin:
“Necromantic anomalies on such a large scale remind me of certain peculiar spells that deal with death psychic energy and techniques for harnessing dead creatures, which is considered rather obscure knowledge even in the realm of psychics.
I myself am barely adept at this aspect, stemming from my youthful exploration of the Underworld realm’s knowledge of death, which has led me to a rather frightening speculation.”
She said to Murphy:
“Perhaps this is not some natural disaster, but a man-made one!”
“Hmm?”
The corner of Murphy’s eye danced as he said:
“You mean, someone is hiding behind the scenes to manipulate this? That tonight’s successful quest by my warriors resulted in him being forced to emerge from the shadows where he had been hiding? Well, that sounds a bit more interesting, especially in light of Salokdar’s deathbed reminder.
You’re right, this whole thing does seem to be starting to get creepy.”
