Chapter 403 402.Preparing a batch of monsters in advance as “reserve food” is really a good habit – [加更910】 [加更910].

Today’s forum is as lively as ever.

Although there have been rumors amongst the small players that a more convenient and public-oriented third-party platform is already in the works, the main channel left for players to exchange information is still the Real Exotic World forum.

As more and more people entered it, the forum, which originally only had a few functional areas, now had different sections.

There was the “Transylvania Daily Morning News”, which was dedicated to discussing game content and posting official updates, the “Sunset Tavern”, which was used to discuss plot directions and game details, the “Senate of Fort Rapids”, which was the home base for RPers, and the “Craftsmen” forum, which was reserved for craftsmen. “There is also the Senate of Fort Rapids, a place for RPers, the Stonemasons’ Brotherhood Publicity Department, which is reserved for craftsmen and manufacturing players, and MI8, which is a place for exchanging all kinds of military information and monster intelligence.

More than 2,000 players and greedy party members surf the forums with high intensity every day, resulting in a huge amount of “spam” generated by the forums every day.

If Murphy needed to manage it manually, then the Vampire Lord basically wouldn’t be able to do anything right now.

Fortunately, Murphy had an assistant, and Xiao Cui had already loved the feeling of “surfing on the Internet”, and the best thing was that the Blood Wyvern Archduke was also a hundred years old nerd in “reality”, which allowed her to have a lot of time to roam around on the forum every day.

However, today’s forums had a heavy news item in the afternoon, which came from a player’s post on the “MI8” board:
A high-level elite monster has appeared in the Smuggler’s Woods! Our fleet has suffered heavy losses! Brothers, come to support us!

The guy who made the post was called “Mountain Demon Pogon”, and he had his own small guild, “Demon Eight”, which was not well known in the player community but was very active.

These eight brothers don’t know what they do in reality, but they spend a lot of time surfing on the forums every day, but the time they spend actually playing games is very little and very irregular.

This post quickly gained attention as assistant Xiao Cui marked it as an Essence post.

Half Loaded Happy Stick: [@Mountain Demon Boogang, I read the post, you just said that a group of abnormally large jackals attacked the Smuggler’s Woodland, but you didn’t say what the cause and effect was, there won’t be that kind of inexplicable brush with ‘Martian Soldiers’ in this game, and everything that happens randomly has an antecedent and a consequence.

So I must ask, what was the cause of this attack? Do you guys know?”]

Demon of the Moon Curse Blue: [Crap, Stick, we’re players not detectives, who knows why those crazy jackals attacked us. But the new players doing quests in the Smuggler’s Woodlands would already be getting killed as pigs by this point, they were charging around on their vicious seated wolves, slashing people on sight.

It was too late for us to escape.

The result given by the Luck Pearl’s scouting is ‘invincible’, you guys come quickly! We can’t hold out much longer, if we keep this up, these crazy jackals are going to kill their way into the Blood Claw camp.

Didn’t they say that NPCs in this game don’t come back to life when they’re killed?

If Chief Hogg is killed, won’t the Blood Claw clan be finished? This is a power that we players have personally supported . Blanch! They have breached the guard post! The Blood Claw Clan’s barbarian soldiers can’t hold them back at all, they’re collapsing! Come quickly!

Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [@Moon Demon Curse Blue, the Silver Moon’s Pride Regiment is approaching the Smuggler’s Woods, hurry up and report!

Frostclaw’s Tooth: [The Blood Rat Gang outpost has received a message asking for help, the NPCs and I are on our way through the portal, hold on!

Border City Prodigal Son: [The Phantom Shadow Intelligence Bureau’s professional agent team is rushing to the battlefield, brothers hold on, Mrs. Adele’s side has triggered a random event, and our NPC’s support is expected to arrive soon].

Woo Meow King: [We’re too far away to go join in the fun, but @Border City Wanderer, when did Brother Wanderer join this extraordinary sounding organization?

Border City Wanderer: [Hey, not only are our brothers now official agents of the Phantom Shadow Intelligence Bureau, but we’re already going through the E-sister’s Warrior mission process.

However, this organization is not accepting ordinary players at the moment, if you want to join us, you have to go through a 7-ring quest chain first, and I’ve posted the specific information before.

If you don’t have confidence in your stealth and tracking skills, don’t try it.

All I can say is that the difficulty is quite high.]

Tourist Scholar Xiao Zhou: [Crap, E-sister is also opening a warrior recruitment? Wow, I’ve lost 5 million dollars, I love E-sister the most, I’ve customized her pillows.

Mr. Ziwei: [The Intelligence Bureau is also recruiting logistics personnel, the recruitment conditions for this position are quite loose, if you are interested you can also come ah.

In addition to E Sister, Ms. Dorothy and Ms. Dana have also opened the Warrior recruitment, their side of the quest line is a little simpler than E Sister’s quest line, and there are enough places, interested in mixing a ‘Warrior’ title brothers do not miss it.

Demon of the Mountain Boogang: [Crap, brothers stop chatting! I just came in with a wave of human bombs barely taking one out, and these jackals got their identity straightened out!

They’re elite brute soldiers from the Bite Bone Clan, and according to the information given by the arithmetic jewel, these guys are from a place called ‘Plague Town’ in the Filthy Swamp.

Why do I get the feeling that this random event is a plot guide buried by the development team?
Is this going to push into the Filthy Swamp?]

Lumina Yang Trace: [Brothers! Look what we’ve hit! Link to item.

Precipice Oxen Unafraid of Difficulty: [? The reins of a Pioneer Seatwolf? Blanched, this is the first time I’ve seen a Seiko quality mount, are you sure it was dropped from a monster fight?]]

Fatal Orchid Flower: [The drop rate of this thing is quite low, we just helped Hogg’s guards repel a group of barbarians before dropping one, this is still a small reed name flying fast to take advantage of the seat wolf escaping with a casting net to catch one before seizing it.

If you haven’t passed the Black Iron Trial, don’t try it!
That Seat Wolf’s attack power is super strong, and if you’re unlucky, one bite will kill you all in seconds].

Lead Big Dove: [Blanch! Dropping your mount? Didn’t say so earlier! All of the @Scarlet Beast Troupe, go go go! Charge a wave.]

Reed Swordswoman: [Good news! The Blood Claw Clan has opened up the exchange of small pets, and Hogg has gotten a bunch of strange Undead Thief’s Hands from who knows where. It is said that this thing can help thieves to steal things, blood rat gang old brother do not rush a wave?

Pretend you don’t need hands: [Little Reed Name sends a screenshot, we’re already on our way].

Seeing that the random events happening in the Smuggler’s Woodland had completely mobilized the players, Murphy, who would be hiding in the post and peering at the screen, narrowed his eyes.

He began to ponder the logic behind the sudden occurrence of this event.

The instinct of intrigue from the vampire told Murphy that this matter was never as simple as it appeared on the surface.

“This might be driven by Hogg himself behind the scenes…”

Murphy thought:

“But Hogg wouldn’t be stupid enough to so recklessly personally provoke a confrontation between the players and the Plague Town Jackals without my orders, and the fact that all the vanguard brutes of the Bite Bone Clan who appeared in the Smuggler’s Woodland this time were all Bite Bone Clan’s vanguard brutes and no Plague Clan’s Jackal Warlocks suggests that as well.

Why is Hogg doing this?”

He couldn’t get an answer.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later, when Murphy’s eyes swept over the topographical map of Transylvania on the wall, that he had a vague idea.

The area of the Smuggler’s Woodland marked on that map only occupied one tenth of the total area of Transylvania, such a big place even if there was harassment from the Skeleton Army its number would not be a lot, not to mention the fact that Hogg had exchanged from the Plague Town Jackal for the Command Sectional Staff that could control the undead, and there was also the last batch of the small players who had entered the game that had been active in that neighborhood.

It had been almost half a month!

With the enthusiasm of the players in clearing the quests, I’m afraid that the wandering skeletons in the entire Smuggler’s Woodland will soon be killed off by those guys, in other words, there are no monsters left to paint in the “newbie leveling area” that Hogg is responsible for.

Thinking of this, Murphy had already confirmed eight points in his heart, and immediately contacted Miriam with his precious pearl, asking from her side about the main activity areas of the small players in the recent week.

The answer given by the consul was that 60% of the players were currently in the Xicol Territory brushing the reputation of the mountain tribes and participating in the straggler scavenging, while the number of players near the Smuggler’s Woodland had dropped by 20% in a week.

This data perfectly matched Murphy’s suspicions and confirmed that Hogg’s dog deliberately provoked friction between the two sides in order to draw players’ attention back to the smuggler’s woodland.

From this point of view, the origin of the “Seat Wolf” that Little Vikram just captured is very suspicious.

Considering the special relationship between the Pride of the Silver Moon and the Blood Claw Clan, it was possible that the “special drop” was a double act between the girls and the jackals.

“Have my cute little players finally become a ‘special resource’ to be fought over?”

Murphy was angry and relieved when he realized why. The relief was that Hogg’s regard and attraction for the players represented that besides him and Tris and Maxim, there were finally other leader NPCs who had discovered the value of the little players.

Angry that this dog Hogg was playing with flowers.

Isn’t this the “false advertising” thing?

Small players in order to get the reins of the wolf to go to the swamp to brush monsters, the result has not been dropped things when the time to blame the development team side still have to bear the consequences?

“Ding”

Just as Murphy was thinking, the vibration from the core pearl signified a private communication request.

He looked down and realized that it was exactly the communication request sent by Hogg, Murphy connected the communication and heard Hogg’s side tell him the cause and effect of this matter quite honestly and proactively.

Hogg asked for Murphy’s forgiveness, saying that he realized that he did not report it upwards until after he had done it, but the situation at that time was urgent and did not allow him to think about it anymore.

“No amount of nice talk will change the fact that you launched a solo walk, Hogg.”

Murphy said coldly:
“Because your actions resulted in me having to publicize the information about the Filthy Swamp to my warriors, who in my plans should now be continuing to add to Transylvania’s building operations. You did something wrong, so you must be punished!
Since you used the Seatwolf Carrier to lure my warriors to the Smuggler’s Woods and from there deeper into the swamp, I must ensure that their rights are not jeopardized.

What you promised you must deliver!

A minimum of twenty Pioneer Seatwolves are to be given back to my warriors as a reward after this conflict is over, and if you fail to do so, then they will take the initiative to seek you out to ‘ask for it’!”

Hogg’s heart trembled when he heard this.

Good fellow!
Where would he let himself find twenty Vanguard Seat Wolves?
Wasn’t this killing him?

But soon Hogg’s eyes rolled.

He suddenly remembered that there was an animal pen in the Plague Town’s Vanguard Savage Soldier’s quarters, in which there were wolf cubs for the Savage Soldiers to use.
But the warriors couldn’t enter Plague Town right now, so if they wanted to get their hands on those seat wolf pups they would have to do it themselves. Crippled Claw was in need of test subjects to make blood-sucking barbarians, and the jackal warlocks didn’t trust these bone-biting barbarians!

A vicious plan quickly took shape in Hogg’s mind.

It knew that it was risky, and perhaps if it didn’t work out, it would have to account for its own life in Plague Town, however Murphy wasn’t bargaining with it again, and it couldn’t let its image in Lord Murphy’s mind turn sour.

It knows very well.

Lord Murphy can ‘make’ a ‘Hogg’, he can make a second, he is not the only one, he is replaceable.

“I will do it! Lord Murphy, I will make reparations to your warriors.”

Chief Bloodclaw said through gritted teeth with a beastly state of mind:
“Please wait for my good news.”

“Uh-huh.”

Murphy responded coldly, then hung up the communication.

He walked over to the map hanging on the wall and carefully surveyed the current situation of the various regions of Transylvania, and after a few moments of reflection, Murphy made a decision.

Since the conflict between the two sides had already occurred, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

It was time for his warriors to enter the Filth Swamp in the true sense of the word and start scouting and attacking the Plague Clan, this undead town was a nail that had to be pulled out, sooner or later made no difference.

The construction of the Maginot defense line was about to begin, without routing the jackals in the swamp, the construction of that defense line was sure to be disturbed frequently.

Therefore, let the warriors who have been resting for almost twenty-five days set foot on the battlefield once again, and leave the job of searching for stragglers to the novices who have yet to pass the Black Iron Trial.

Moreover, Murphy also decided to make a little modification in response to the fact that the Smuggler’s Woodland, the “newbie leveling area”, had already died out.

He picked up the core pearl and sent a message to the Blood Rat Gang:
“Dorothy, have your subordinates gather in the sewers and scout the undead cave in the sewers that has been sealed for a month, I’m going to open it in two days. These vicious undead hiding underneath the city are a problem, and before moving forward with the next step of the plan, these unstable elements must be taken care of!”

“?”

The Blood Rat Gang’s Grand Master, Ms. Dorothy, whose entire body was dumbfounded when she received the message from Governor Murphy, immediately responded:

“I can understand your disposition towards danger, but Lord Governor! There are nearly 10,000 dangerous ghouls in the underground cavern, and the Wolfsbane Clan’s raid also dropped 500 Barbarian Soldiers in it as well, and they presumably became one of those ghouls.

Such a huge scale dooms us to not attack them with much fanfare, the terrain over there is too bad for a large force to spread out.”

“Release them to the second level.”

Murphy whispered methodically:

“It’s time to replicate the ‘Night of the Ghouls’ event, and with only ten thousand ghouls in the area, it’s doubtful that that makeshift ‘practice area’ will last more than a week for my warriors.

I never thought there would be a day when the great Transylvania would bother me because there weren’t enough monsters.”

“My lord! Aren’t you forgetting a place?”

Dorothy said in an odd tone:
“Transylvania is full of monsters, there are two to three hundred thousand undead sleeping in the ruins of Cicco City alone.

Lady Adele took us on an adventurous reconnaissance of that side earlier, and we found that although the strength of the undead inside the city is extremely high, the strength of the huge number of skeletons, ghouls, grudges and zombies in the periphery of the ruins doesn’t actually reach a level that the warriors can’t fight against.

My advice is that if you’re worried that your warriors have no place to hone their skills, you’re definitely overthinking it.

As long as they are willing to fight, there will never be a shortage of enemies in this part of Transylvania for them to practice on.”

“Well, Cicco City is indeed a good area to practice.”

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:
“Like a delicious pastry waiting to be savored, it should be able to last for a few months under the constant attacks of greedy adventurers, right? By then, when the Black Plague breaks out, the entire continent will be filled with hostile creatures for a very long time, and I won’t have to worry about the headache of where to venture for my warriors.

It seems that it’s not good for them to be too efficient at killing.

Anyway, you guys need to finish preparing for the ‘Night of the Ghouls’ event revival as soon as possible.

If you can, direct a play of your own to deflect this crisis onto the Plague Clan of the Filthy Swamp, to make the newly arrived warriors in Transylvania realize that the threat from the Jackal Warlocks is all around us.

I need to make them realize the seriousness of this matter as a preparation for the big push into the Filthy Swamp.

Can I safely leave this in your hands? Dorothy.”

“Piece of cake! You just watch me play.”

Dorothy laughed and said:
“It’s been a while since I’ve moved my body as well, after my business here is done I’ll be heading to the Filthy Swamp to play for my life, hopefully your warriors are as omnipotent as you expect them to be, or else I’ll probably have to account for this little life of mine in the swamp.”

“They are omnipotent, Dorothy, and they have performed miracle after miracle.”

Murphy said in a tone of certainty:

“Nothing can stop their steps, just as nothing can stop the steps of us who follow them, don’t worry about doing things boldly, their existence is our biggest card!”
