Chapter 246 – 245 The Great Prison Break of the Blood Claw Clan

Chapter 246 245.Blood Claw Clan’s Great Jailbreak Operation

At nightfall, when the small players were at their most active, a ghostly blood-eating spirit vulture was silently crossing the earth of Count Cadman’s territory.

It was looking down from a high place, and the darkness of the night couldn’t block its ghostly vision at all.

At the end of its line of sight, it could see a number of figures running wildly under the darkness of the night, chaotic as if they were frightened beasts, as if they were running away from something they couldn’t see, even though there was no dangerous thing following behind them.

It was a pack of jackals, fifty or sixty in number, with an equal number of dog-headed men following, clearly a tribe on the move.

The jackal chief riding a coyote led his people westward from Baron Lim’s domain, and his destination was already clear.

“Another jackal clan is migrating towards the Andromeda Hills, this is the fourth one observed this night.”

In the office of the Blood Vulture Cloister, Murphy, who was reviewing the documents sent by Miriam, switched to Revernor’s perspective, and he didn’t feel the slightest bit surprised by the scene happening in front of him.

Although the jackals were savage, they also had their own loose social system and news channels.

Scarlet Fortress official’s large-scale action in the Spectre Barony and the witch hunter’s hunt in the Moorland Barony couldn’t be hidden from these guys, although their brains weren’t as big as walnuts, some sharp leaders had already realized the danger that was coming.

Coupled with the fact that the warlord of the Andromeda Hills, Ken Potter, is still sending emissaries to the jackal clans in other places, it is not surprising that more and more jackals are defecting to the Great Beast’s Lair under the balance of these two factors.

In the minds of these savage creatures, becoming a member of the Great Lair seems to mean that they no longer need to fear those fierce hunters who seem to be refreshed overnight.

This was also the direction Murphy wanted to see things go.

There were too many jackals roaming the land of Transylvania, and even though the players’ actions were very decisive, cold and swift, if they were allowed to uproot them one stronghold at a time, then the hope of ending this campaign of eradication in 30-40 days would be unattainable.

He needed a chance!
A chance that would completely break the essence of the jackals in this great land and make them flee at the sight of humans.

Murphy did not expect to kill all the jackals, but only needed the number of jackals in Transylvania to be reduced to below a certain limit, so that the jackals that fled to the surrounding area could still give the surrounding “neighbors” a boost, so that they would truly feel the threat of the “black plague”. The threat of the “Black Plague” is imminent.

In the meantime, we can give them a reminder to be a little more generous in their assistance to Transylvania.

It’s a three-for-one plan.

If you counted practicing and leveling up the small players, then this was a four for one.

Of course, if he wanted to realize Murphy’s scheme he couldn’t just wait for the opportunity to come his way, he knew he had to take the initiative to advance the factors in his favor.

“Adele, come to me.”

The vampire lord called out in the blood connection between his honored elder and his son, and soon Lady Adele pushed her way in, hands folded on her stomach, waiting for her master to command.

“What is the situation with Hogg?”

He asked, looking up.

“That jackal has traded fifteen gladiators from Dorothy in the last seven days, and it’s instilling its members with the idea of ‘rescuing their fellow man’ by having them follow it as it continues to clean up ghouls around the third level of the sewers.

As of early this morning, according to Dorothy’s report, this raiding party of jackals has killed hundreds of ghouls with the help of the incendiary materials provided by the Blood Rat Gang.”

Adele reported with the demeanor of the best intelligence officer:

“Based on the results alone this is already excellent, but compared to the killing efficiency of your warriors they still fall short, after all, the jackals, no matter how savage they are will have a fear of injury and death, they also need to rest and recover from their injuries.

All of this seriously slows down their combat efficiency.

However, according to the secret observation of several subordinates under my command, although that Hogg’s body is thin and small, its cunning intelligence definitely belongs to the first class amongst the Jackals.

It manages its clan very properly and knows how to actively learn from the Blood Rat Gang’s structure and mode of action, which they are trying to carry out like assassins.

Decisive, swift and quite destructive, they never fight once they strike.”

“It seems you have a high opinion of it.”

Murphy’s handsome face brought on a smile as he played with the broken pocket watch in his hand and said:
“My spirit vulture told me that there are already many jackal clans in Baron Lim’s territory that have heard the wind now, and they have started to run away and move towards the Andromeda Hills.

This is a good opportunity!

You might be able to activate that plan we’ve already made.

The point is that Hogg and his people must be allowed to escape from the Scarlet Fortress in a way that is reasonably unexpected, or at least not in a way that allows them to waltz away with a bunch of vampires watching, or else not even Hogg’s people, not to mention the other jackals, won’t believe it themselves.

Jackals may be stupid, but they still have brains.”

“You need not worry about that, Master.”

Adele took out a hand-drawn map from her sleeve and placed it in front of Murphy’s eyes, and she pointed to the topography of the three crooked levels of the sewer that was delineated on the map and said:

“Dorothy said that she had heard from Zweig that there was a hidden waterway in the river channel of the underground cavern that could lead directly to a hidden underground cavern in the upper reaches of the Cadman River. Professor Chen also corroborated this with his own knowledge, and the newly recruited underlings of the Blood Rat Gang have been searching there for the past few days, and they really found it.

I dispatched Dana, who has the best water skills among my scions, to walk through it herself.

She reported that she only had to hold her breath for a few minutes as she swam forward across the dark underground river following the current, and then she was able to enter the narrow underground waterway and then it was clear all the way through.

Its final exit is in the bay near the Barony of Lim and the Andromeda Hills, where there used to be a village but is now abandoned due to the war, and they can make a great prison break by taking this route.

Of course, I will blow up this road immediately after they leave.”

“Why blow it up? Such a good secret path that facilitates infiltration and carrying out sabotage operations must surely be kept ah.”

Murphy shook his head.

He looked at the topographical map with interest and after a moment’s thought said:

“A small dock could be built at this exit bay.

The Cadman River has a lot of current, we can use this to develop a bit of transportation, going upstream will allow us to reach the Great Plains of Kafhoka, and going downstream will allow us to go directly into Lake Shulpes in the Cato region, and this river does need a few docks as well.

Once it’s built, let’s leave it to the Blood Rats to manage.

But I guess until then, this culvert might come in handy for other purposes.

Also, can you still have an heir for the first time?”

Murphy asked.

Although he, the administrator system, had only given him three primordial embrace slots at the Black Iron rank, as far as he knew, NPC vampires didn’t have this kind of restriction. As long as they held up, they could first embrace many people even at the Professional stage.

Of course because of the influence of both sides of the bloodline contract, abusing the blood contract to result in too many heirs when the vampire wasn’t powerful often wasn’t a good thing.

“My power ensures the best coordination by having three heirs at this stage, but I see your point.”

Adele said with a nod:

“I will give Dorothy an ‘account’.”

“Trouble you.”

Murphy said, and Adele did not respond in any particular way.

Apparently she didn’t view this as a burden.

As an intelligence chief, she could see the huge potential of the Blood Rat Gang, a small group made up of lowlifes.

The use of thieves and burglars by major powers to gather intelligence was not an exception, and even peace-loving Halflings such as the Council of Steam Lords had a rather ambiguous relationship with the Thieves’ Guild that walked in the darkness.

Adele knew very well that Murphy needed such a force under his command.

What’s more, even by the most critical standards, “Razor” Dorothy is really an excellent heir in all aspects.

If she is blessed by Midnight, she will surely become a deadly sword in the darkness, and thus better serve Lord Murphy and the Blood Vulture Clan.

Tonight is the day of the Fight Club’s “Big Brawl”.

After being taken over by the Blood Rats, this previously uninvited place opens every night, especially after the curfew was lifted from the camp, and Sewer Entrance 7 has become the best place for the busy day’s workers and lords to spend their leisure time.

The Blood Rats, who are good at running a business, even set up a tavern here, so that the customers could enjoy a drink while watching the exciting fights. To be honest, it is also the current Lord Murphy’s command few people can not be messed up, and Transylvania this hell of a place’s spending power is not very strong, the residents have no money in their hands, or else to Dorothy’s shrewd, dancers and other things must have been arranged long ago.

The so-called sound and color of a dragon, wealth and prosperity, Ms. Razor’s goal is obviously to fight club into the future of scarlet fort “curfew gold cave”.

But tonight’s “big fight” is different from the usual small fights.

After consulting the real manager of the Fight Club, Maxim’s opinion, Dorothy adjusted the three times a week player participation to twice a week, but the intensity and scale of the fight have been directly full, from the original “exciting” directly evolved to the “bloody” level. The level of the battle has directly evolved from the original “exciting” to “gory”.

For players, especially newcomers to the game, the Fight Club is also a very good choice, not only to brush up on skill proficiency, but also to spend money on their own to win so as to earn a little extra money.

The Blood Rats have also adjusted the positioning of players in the gladiatorial arena.

By purchasing a ticket from the Blood Rats and registering as a gladiator, players can now choose from a wide range of fighting modes.

There was not only the normal tournament for solo fights against monsters, but also the elite tournament specially prepared for the Black Iron Trial, as well as the “Honorary Three-Man Team Battle” in which the reserve knights of the Blood League Knights would take part.

As well as the player-to-player “PVP” mode, which not many people are playing at the moment, there is also the “Honor Trio Battle”, which the Knights of the Blood League reserve knights will participate in.

There are many different styles and because the players are not afraid of death, the spectacle of the big fight every three days is more than one level stronger than the ordinary fights.

Spectators will naturally buy into the game, plus the temporary doubling of bets is allowed during the big fights, which naturally attracts a lot of betting dogs to gamble on their luck.

The small players have already started to fight in the preparation area, and are still exchanging their fighting experience with each other.

Tonight’s 17 small players registered to participate in the competition, except for Cat, Pomegranate and Niu Niu, who were three combat fanatics who came here to set a “winning streak record”, the other 14 were all going to participate in the Black Iron Trial.

They asked Cat and Pomegranate for their experience, and the two of them were not shy about providing guidance.

However, even if they are well prepared, it is expected that a few unreliable ones will die tonight. After all, not everyone is good at fighting, and the difficulty of challenging the elites is a very different concept in the eyes of ordinary players and experts.

However, this is the players wantonly wild life, death, but is a small fun embellishment.

“Why did that witch hunter come running too?”

In the preparation area, Sister Pomegranate glanced into the audience and unsurprisingly saw Ms. Ambos sitting in the crowd grabbing a skewer of grilled rat meat and looking left and right.

She turned back to her brother with great irritation:
“You seem to be getting closer and closer to her, I’m asking you to go and brush up on your goodwill, not to get into all this weird stuff in the game!
What?

Do you like paperboy wives too?”

“Where were you?”

The tall and tall Bull retorted with a defiant face:

“Can’t I make a friend in the game? Didn’t you and Lumina often bring those little peasants to play with you in the camp? The NPCs in this game are so intelligent, making friends with them is no different than in reality, right?”

“Are you playing dumb or do you really not know?”

Sister Pomegranate crossed her arms and said:

“You get on my case! Niu Niu, I don’t want to see you become an ‘electronic invalid’, go find a girlfriend after graduation, or go on a blind date if you can’t.”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, you’re so annoying, I haven’t seen you nagging so much before.”

Niu Niu was annoyed, but he suddenly had a twinkle in his eye when he saw the cat across the street, hehehe laughed a few times, and said to his oldest sister:
“You tell me, a few days we go out to visit the uncles of the route why suddenly changed? And also have to go to the southwest of the trip is ready to do what? Who are you going to meet? Should I prepare some cosmetics for you?

After all, to see the netizens, always have to dress up, not I say you, the family for your things are almost anxious to death, they are open to give you a blind date it.

I guess they don’t need to rush next ow.”

“You shut up!”

Sister Pomegranate angrily kicked Ox and turned to leave, Ox was kicked but finally got the peace and quiet he wanted.

He grunted and moved his body around waving his hand again at Ambrosia in the audience, who returned the cheering gesture. But while they were getting ready, it was a sad sight in the other contestant’s preparation area.

The jackal gladiators who stayed here at this time all knew the tragedy of the great gladiator fight three days ago.

The 15 jackal gladiators sent up there only survived 3 in the end, and the warriors under Vampire Murphy’s command were so fierce that they made these elite jackals feel intimidated.

I wonder how many of these guys will survive today?

Just when they were most annoyed, a small hooded figure quietly emerged from the shadows, Hogg was still in that classic hide-and-seek outfit, and it let out an odd voice to these Jackalese gladiators in front of them:
“How are you guys considering this? Tonight is the last chance, last time we lost 13 of our compatriots, those were the most elite and strongest of the Transylvanian Jackals, and I guess, you guys won’t necessarily survive tonight either.

So, do you want to follow me to escape from here?

Give a quick word!”

“You’re just the vampire’s lapdog! Fuck off.”

A stocky jackal barbarian roared and tried to pounce on Hogg to fight him, but was again pinned in place by several other jackals.

This guy had horrible wounds on his body, and it was one of the 3 Jackalese gladiators who survived 3 days ago.

It hated these vampires, but it hated this guy in front of it even more.

“You dog, you can come and go as you please in the territory of the Blood Rats gang, you must have knelt at the feet of the vampire Murphy and kissed his toes.

You are a disgrace to my clan!”

The barbarian soldier cursed, but the other jackals did not respond.

Hogg simply ignored the ridiculous taunt after all these days, and it let out that weird laugh of the jackals in the shadows.

It said:

“Say what you will, but it is a fact that I have saved many people! All I ask is do you want to live? My people and I have fought tooth and nail for your little lives. The best part is, we were hunting ghouls and found a path to escape.

I won’t lie to you. It’s doomed to nine lives!
But if you still want to go back to the wilderness and be free, instead of being abused here like dogs for fun, think more about yourselves.

I’ll only be waiting for ten hourglasses of your time on the third basement level!
If you don’t show up by midnight, I’ll take my people and run myself out of here. Lord Kenport is gathering an army in the Andromeda Hills, and I’ll go back there. Then I’ll come back with my army and kill and bite all these vampires!”

After saying that, Hogg didn’t say much and backed up and disappeared into the shadows.

It was small and thin, and its psychic talent was rather average, but its perception and use of shadows had progressed rapidly under Dorothy’s training.

Nowadays, it was already a qualified Jackal thief and assassin.

Hogg moved forward noiselessly in the shadows, and it soon arrived at Dorothy’s tent, and the unclothed Ms. Dorothy was kneeling on the ground with her face covered.

And in front of the boss of the Blood Rats gang, Lady Adele was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief in a graceful movement.

A first embrace had just been completed.

From the posture of the two Dorothy resisted, but unfortunately, her resistance did not serve any purpose.

The sight sent chills down Hogg’s spine.

It was the wiser of the jackals.

It knew that this scene was deliberately shown to it by the vampire in front of it, making it realize that the Blood Rat Gang that had single-handedly supported it was nothing more than a plaything to be casually manipulated in front of the Blood Vulture Clan.

“Are you ready?”

There was some weakness in Adele’s voice.

Just as Murphy had bestowed the essence of blood upon her, she had infused Dorothy with the true blessing of midnight.

She looked at Hogg, who was nodding frantically and trying to be good, and whispered:

“Very well, you may begin, Lord Murphy has given you a codename for the sake of secrecy in this operation, and from tonight until the time of Kenport’s demise, remember that your name is ‘Pierce the Armor’ .”
