Chapter 261: 260 Dancing with the Wolves for Brother “Huo Zheng Quite Well”.
Chapter 261: Dancing with the Wolves – For Brother “Huo Zheng Quite Well” [1020].
“Ding!”
The student party’s Meow Shark who was practicing flying in the dark night had only just flapped his bloody wings to take off when a quest-triggering sound came out from the arithmetic treasure pearl, causing him to see a very strange quest refresh as soon as he lowered his head in the darkness:
[Racial event ‘Vampire – Dancing with Wolves’ has been triggered!
Event description: the vanguard of the Blood Vulture Clan’s ancient enemy, the Wolfsbane Vampires, are approaching the Scarlet Fortress, the berserkers from the Gray Claw Clan are convinced of the Blood Vulture’s weakness, they want to put an end to the ancient hatred tonight, they want to completely erase the Blood Vulture from the history of the Blood Clan this night.
Of course, this isn’t just a war about clan grudges, it’s also about power, fame and a future that can’t be given up.
It’s a struggle between ambition and ambition!
And you!
As a young member of the Blood Vulture Clan, you must answer this call from your bloodline and participate in the blockade against the enemy with supreme courage!
This is a duty you must not shirk.
EVENT OBJECTIVE: Enter the city sewers and there confront and hunt down all Wolfsbane elites entering the Scarlet Fortress until the other side is routed or surrenders.
Event Reward: Vampire-Bloodwyrm Clan Prestige – ‘Clan Knight’ knighthood granted, Vampire Specialty Game ‘Blood Spirit Capture’ open, Thorn Clan Prestige Shop open, Blood Alliance Clan Prestige Shop open.
Event Failure Penalty: Revernor Murphy Le Sombra is killed in battle, Clan Blood Vulture exists in name only, and control of Scarlet Castle and Transylvania changes hands to Clan Wolfsbane.
Dev Tip!
This event is a test session for the ‘Racial Main Quest’ plotline, and the above rewards are only allowed to be earned by official members of the Blood Vulture Clan.
Non-members of the Blood Vulture Clan can participate in the battle as ‘allies’ and pick up the drops, but will not be able to obtain the corresponding rewards from the Racial Main Quest.
Dev Team Tip!
This event is the beginning of the ‘Racial Main Quests’ gameplay, after which the game will gradually launch different racial main quests for players of different races to play].
“Blanch? Suddenly this kind of tough job?”
Meow Shark, who was floating around in the air, hastily gathered his wings and glided towards the direction of the sewers, he kept accelerating in the air, and when he finally landed, he saw that all the vampires in the current player had already arrived here.
In addition to the first batch of Blood Vulture Twelve, there was also a second batch of more than thirty people who had joined the clan, as one of the two dominant power systems in the current game, the attraction of vampires was still very strong.
Although the other players hadn’t triggered the “Dance with the Wolves” racial quest, they had already received the news, and were all speeding back to Scarlet Castle.
Although this matter nominally had nothing to do with them, the quest also said that they could participate in the battle as allies and pick up the drops.
You said that it wasn’t a coincidence.
Just a few days ago, a player put the special weapon Wolfsbane Staff Sword can be exchanged in Lord Murphy’s place for an advanced swordsmanship strategy posted in the forums, this will have the heart of the players are looking for the “wild elites” everywhere, the result of this will be directly brushed out more than three hundred, the average manpower of two and more it!
I’m not sure if you’re a fan of it, but I’m sure it’s a good idea!
This development team is also thoughtful, right?
“Lord Murphy is here! Missy and Sister E are here! Even Captain Bonnie and Little Widow Mary are here! How come Count Andre and Bow Knight Hime have also brought people here? Damn it, the Blood Vulture Clan is here with their whole family!
Except for Mrs. Tris, all the other vampire NPCs are here, it’s a big scene!
Quickly, quickly, the forums are shaking people!
Let those who just got offline hurry up and fight!”
The small players exclaimed.
In front of their eyes the sky was full of open blood-colored wings, the current number of NPCs of the Blood Vulture Clan was not much, even counting the unlucky Mary’s batch of members who were re-allowed to join the clan was less than 60, counting the player vampires, the number of invaders was far inferior to the other people’s Wolfsbane Clan just on the number.
However, the good news is that the Thorn Clan and the Blood Alliance Clan have also joined the battle, and the three blood servants are also allowed to participate in the battle, so that counting, in terms of the number of defenders have a slight advantage, but the other side is all elite so that this battle is still very dangerous.
“Restore.”
The sound of warhorses neighing resounded from the end of the street.
The gathered players turned back to see President Natalie of the Adventurer’s Guild appearing on the street with her famous greatsword on her back.
Seeing her approaching Femis reached out to stop her, levitating and shaking her head in a hushed voice:
“I thank you for your kindness, but this is an internal Blood business! Witch hunters cannot be involved.”
“We didn’t think to get involved either, many witch hunters have said that the night would end most satisfactorily if you all died in the sewers, but of course, I don’t think that’s true.”
Natalie replied as she rode on her warhorse Maple Leaf:
“We will guard the sewer exit, and regardless of the outcome of tonight’s battle, the witch hunters cannot allow the wolfsbane vampires to poison the innocents of this great land. Both Sr. Eugene and Sister Marianne have moved on, so you may go down in peace.
Leave the ground to us.”
“That feels strange coming from you, spoken as if you are urging us to get on our way, don’t worry President Natalie, I will crawl back even if I have to to continue to lead this land.
My destiny has been forever bound to Transylvania.”
Murphy shook his head, but didn’t say anything more.
He looked back at his growing gathering of player warriors, and thought of saying a few more words to boost his morale, but right now, the atmosphere of such an occasion had already been naturally drawn out, and there was no longer any need for him to do a pre-battle mobilization.
So Murphy announced in a brief tone in a deep voice:
“Members of the Blood Vulture Clan! In the name of Archduke Tris, follow me into the sewers! Until the last of us returns to eternal silence, the territory of the Blood Vulture Clan will not be allowed to be touched by other clans!”
“Kill them!”
Che Che and Badger screamed as they swung their weapons, and the other vampire players responded as if they had truly become loyal elites of the Blood Vulture Clan in this moment.
It was as if a new group had formed in the group of players once again.
It was very bad behavior to divide a crowd with identity labels, but you also had to admit that when a group had a bit of common ground that everyone recognized, their unity would be greatly increased.
“Ho ho ho ho, I, Giant Shark, am going to make a killing mouth and teeth for the Mother of Midnight today!”
In the crowd a strangely shaped bald vampire carrying a huge weapon wailed with his hands raised, looking at the other vampire NPCs with odd expressions.
Uh, for a vampire, the bald look is indeed a bit too avant-garde, and why does this guy look crazy?
Could it be the heir of Bonnie-sama?
“Hey, I say, you haven’t lost your unlucky weapon yet?”
Rod stepped forward and joked:
“It’s a bit too much for a vampire who takes the dexterity route to use such a heavy weapon, isn’t it?”
“Hey, hey, it’s good exercise, not too shabby.”
Giant shark uncle grinned and crossed his waist proudly said:
“I, Giant Shark, am a martial arts genius! Yesterday, Lord Kudel’s appreciation taught me a set of Blast Fist, I am the legendary vampire’s first martial arts monk Mouth Teeth!”
“You? Number one?”
These words were heard by the nearby Sister Pomegranate, who rolled her eyes and said:
“Which position do you put me in?”
“Aiyaa, how dare I compare myself to you, I, Giant Shark, will always be your loyal little brother.”
The Giant Shark Bo, who had been complacent just a moment ago, instantly wimped out.
He was a bit reckless but he wasn’t stupid.
Although both of them had turned rare vampire martial monks, his so little combat power against a professional like Sister Pomegranate was probably going to be put over within ten moves.
Both of them got the Sanshou Zong Blast Fist’s Upanishad handbook from Kudel, but the same set of fists in the hands of Garnet Sister’s power is infinite and varied, and in the hands of his Giant Shark Bo, it is just like the cat and cat fists with no intimidation to speak of.
“Ch, keep up! I’ll teach you something in a while.”
Sister Pomegranate snapped her fingers, and the bald vampire Giant Shark Uncle immediately followed with a smile on his face.
“We can’t really go down and join the battle, can we?”
A portion of the players were left above ground. They were all members of the Avalon Church faction, and just now, Missy had made it clear that this was an internal vampire matter, and witch hunters could not participate.
This reason made this part of the players very chagrined, but Brother Woo Meow didn’t care, on the contrary, his eyes were glowing as if he had found a new continent as he said to his brothers in this faction:
“If vampires have racial quests, then we humans must have them as well, and I reckon that the Church of Avalon might even have a similar mainline conflict afterward!
At that time, it will be our turn to carry the banner while the vampire players are dry-humping on the side, you guys must always believe in the majesty of my god and the generosity of Avalon’s boss!
Besides, these vampires will definitely run out from the sewers.”
Brother Woo Meow grimaced:
“Keep a close eye on them!
As long as they come out, they’ll be ours. No matter how many of them we kill, as long as we participate in the battle, we’ll be able to share the fall! This time, I’ll do it myself.
We’re all brothers and parishioners, Avalonians don’t lie to Avalonians, and we don’t engage in the mercenary business of auctions, but if you guys are touching fish…”
“Bah! Only dogs touch fish.”
Not far away from the scorpion lion riding the touch you poor and his side of the belly brother spat.
The two of them had just sent the whole thing down to the sewers, that guy hadn’t joined the Old Religion, he was still theoretically a free man and couldn’t wait to try out his “Trickster” fighting skills, along with him was a strange guy called “Tepal” who was also an administrative player. He was joined by a strange guy named “Tepal”, who was also an admin player.
Well, that guy is really strange in every sense of the word.
—
“The ghouls have been alerted!”
In the third level of the sewer cave, with the mass entry of the Wolfsbane Clan and the Jackal Savage Soldiers, the ghouls that hadn’t been fully dealt with in the lower levels were once again agitated by the scent of life.
These foul-smelling fellows rushed out from the hive-like rock walls in hordes, approaching the area where the Wolfsbane Clan and the Jackalese vanguard were located.
“That’s not something we need to worry about.”
Without even looking at the sickening ghouls in front of him, Corando said:
“Leave them to the Jackals, isn’t that why they were brought here?”
“Father, those guys will run.”
Stander stepped forward and said to Corando:
“These jackals won’t fight to the death for our benefit.”
“No, they won’t run, they will stay here and fight to the end for our benefit .”
Mark Corando sneered.
A few seconds later, a dull roar rang out from the rear tunnel, the Wolfsbane thugs who stayed at the end used explosives to blow up the rear passage.
This was considered to have completely cut off the possibility of the jackal barbarian soldiers leaving.
In the current situation, if these Jackal elites who were wanted from Ken Potter wanted to survive, they could only follow the vampires to the dark side.
It was worthy of being called the extreme Gray Claw faction in the Wolfsbane Clan, not only were they ruthless to themselves, they were even more ruthless to others.
“Go!”
With a command, Corando himself led the elite of the Gray Claw Faction all the way up the uneven mountain wall, moving deftly as he rushed into the rift between the third and second floors.
In the area of the ancient sewers in front of the Wolfsbane Clan, Murphy and his clan vampires had already completed their deployment there.
In the darkness of the sewers, Korando, staff and sword in hand, looked ahead at the faces in the shadows, and he could clearly see that the opposing vampires were divided into two “camps”.
The NPC’s were all calm and united in their hatred, while the small players were eager and eager to fight.
Moreover, Korando not only saw the Blood Vulture Clan, he also saw the Thorn Clan standing with them, and the most troublesome thing was the Blood Alliance Bow Knights holding war bows.
“No wonder you had the guts to set this trap!”
The Gray Claw Commander sneered:
“So you have Venerable Lord Paying behind you . But you don’t seem to be held in high regard by the Venerable Lord, Lord Murphy, how is it that only a Silver ranked Bow Knight has come here?
Am I to understand that in the eyes of His Holiness, you and the Blood Vulture Clan are no more important than that?”
“It doesn’t matter what you think!”
Murphy stood with his hands on Necessary Evil in front of the line of defense leading to the sewer level, and he said coldly in the face of Corando’s provocation and the rising and falling wilderness howls of those Wolfsbane Warriors in front of him:
“What matters is that we have all stepped into this destined place! Uninvited guests, please don’t mind the buried sewers of the Scarlet Fortress.
After all, it really is quite perfect by the standards of a tomb prepared for an ambitious man.”
With those words, Murphy took the staff sword left behind by Jopan from Maxim beside him.
He threw this first memorable weapon he had hunted with his own hands forward and it landed right in front of Corandor’s eyes, and the Blood Vulture Lord said softly:
“I am such an unqualified vampire that I have failed to follow the ancient tradition of adding to this ancient blood feud by delivering your son’s death into your hands as a murderer.
But better late than never.
I proclaim to you, Lord Corando, that it is by my hand that your bastard son and blood descendant, Jopan Markie Gungro, is dead…”
“You should have called him by his true last name, his last name was Corando!”
Corandor said as he bent down to pick up his son’s weapon and gripped the hilt to draw it out:
“My last name is also Corando! My future family will be known by that name as well.
Gungrave is a stale thing of the past, as long as we win this night with gusto! The arrogance of Le Sombra and the corruption of Gungahlo will be buried in history!”
“Arrogant and boring ambition.”
Missy Femis commented:
“No wonder old Edward sent you to your death.”
“That’s why you’re a bad vampire, Firmis.”
Murphy shook his head.
He raised the Necessary Evil in his hand, the obscure blade up to the front.
The entire sewer was quiet at this moment, whether it was the small players or the wild Gray Clawed Descendants, all of their gazes were focused on Murphy.
The Blood Vulture Earl paused.
He whispered as if declaring:
“Ambition is a beautiful thing to us; it has to be watered by blood to bear the flower of hope.”
“But hope never exists in the past; it only blooms in the future! Cultivated by the very hands of the most illustrious ambitious …”
As a response, the sword in Corando’s hand was also aimed at Murphy at this moment, and in the next instant when the two of them looked at each other, the blood-thirsty instinct, which was the most primitive and powerful core function of vampires, was activated at the same time.
Blood wings opened in an instant, and the sharp claws of the wilderness popped out in response.
The two were the leaders and pioneers of the two camps, and in the moment when the weapons collided, the sparks splashed as if they were sprinkled in gasoline, causing the ethnic groups of both sides to roar in unison.
Like a hedge of floods and flames, the chaos and cruelty of the war was completely ignited in this place where there was no sunlight.
This was destined to be a war with only a winner!
Because the winner will eat everything of the loser, skinning them and tearing them apart to squeeze out the last delicacy for their own strength. There was no option to admit defeat, and no possibility of surrender!
Only the only one left standing after the last gleam of blood has fallen will be entitled to sip the wine of victory.
It was like the tragedy that the Bloods had been repeating for a thousand years on this land, betrayal, devouring and intrigue, as if the Mother of the Night could never get enough of this marvelous drama.
Let’s kill.
Let’s fight!
For the same illustrious ambition to add to the ancient hatred on this night.
