430.Chapter 428 427 Rescue in the Fire

Chapter 428 – 427.Rescue in the Fiery Flames
Master Orphan Marin’s concern wasn’t just him alone, in fact, including the outwardly confident Tepal and Uncle Fording had the same concern in their hearts.

Compared to other war-tested player groups, the Knights of the Riptide was undoubtedly a “new recruit” that had just been established.

The only large-scale battle they have ever participated in was helping Hogg fight against those skeleton soldiers in the Smuggler’s Woodland when they first entered the game. Although they had systematic training after Ms. Becky joined and received tactical training support from the Winged Cavalry side, no one can give a definite answer to the combat power that the players of the Order are capable of exploding at the moment.

If they pulled the crotch, their RP party, which appeared to be too “pretentious” in the eyes of some players, would become a laughing stock on the forums for the rest of eternity.

The good news, however, was that Maxim and Miriam hadn’t been so heartless as to throw a new recruit into the battlefield alone to test its color.

While the Knights of the Riptide were rushing to the battlefield, the other player groups that didn’t have any additional missions basically all got the mission trigger prompt:
[Ding! The special plot event ‘Light Shining in the Dark’ has been triggered!

Event content: The Plague Clan Jackals originating from the Filth Swamp wanted to launch a covert raid on Transylvania, but the fools took the wrong path into the borders of East Prussia and carried out inhumane massacres and undead conversions there, and this failed raid has gradually evolved into an unexpected large-scale conflict.

Marshal Loren of the Pathfinder Fortress had responded in time, but he was out of reach! The innocents being threatened by the undead forces must hold out for six hours before the main cavalry of the Pathfinder Fortress arrives on the battlefield!

But they cannot!

They need help, and in the midst of death and despair the inhabitants of what was once the Confederacy of Portia yearn for salvation from the brave.

Requirement: Join the battlefield and help the local resistance hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Failure Condition: The Seventh Regiment of the Pioneer Corps of the Kingdom of Canary Blossom has been breached, the resistance has been wiped out, and the Jackal Skeleton Army has entered the city of Banks in force.

Event Reward: A large amount of Canary Flower Kingdom prestige, a large amount of Pioneer Legion prestige, and thanks from the locals.

Tip!

This event is optional, and refusing it does not affect the prestige you already have].

“?”

Upon seeing this random event trigger prompt, a big question mark popped up on the head of Little Vikrama who was polishing her firearms, she twisted her head to look at Mrs. Shui beside her and spat out:

“This is the first time I’ve seen a quest that rewards so much, only giving reputation and thanks. Isn’t that the same as not having much of a reward?”

“No, it’s not as simple as you think.”

Lady Water squinted her eyes as she surveyed the quest trigger, and after a brief moment of reflection, she ruffled her long hair and said:
“This is a random event triggered during the ‘Hundred Days of Great Construction’ operation, in other words, the direction of this event will affect the final outcome of the main event.

On the surface it doesn’t look like there will be any substantial gains from saving the people of the Goldfinch Kingdom, but if you look at the descriptions between the lines you’ll be able to understand the clues that the development team has buried into it.

East Prussia was originally a territory of the Porcian Confederacy, and the inhabitants there were all theoretically once fellow Transylvanians, meaning that, legally speaking, even Marshal Loren had no reason to stop them if they ‘voluntarily’ migrated to Transylvania.

In other words, this event could still be used as a part of the ‘census’ to obtain manpower.

If it worked well, it wouldn’t be much of a problem to empty the population of that affected region at once .
Ha, no reward is the greatest reward!

If only a few pieces of equipment or a bit of gold are given, that’s what shows that this random event is a chicken rib.”

Speaking of this, Lady Water stood up, copied her cool scythe from her side, and said to Little Vikrama who understood:
“Summon the others back immediately and we’ll go over there to share in the event, but talk to Tepal and Uncle Fording in advance about the return of aid, and give us a portion of the manpower they harvest!
I reckon this could be one of the few ‘open and shut’ privateering operations in the census bonanza.

You can’t miss this village.”

“I’m not convinced, how come your brain works so well.”

Little Vikrama while maneuvering neatly to load his own firearms, and spit out:

“I clearly on paper IQ and you not much difference ah.”

“I have eaten ten years more than you, you little fool.”

Mrs. Water said with a wink:
“When you get to my age you’re definitely going to be much smarter than me, good boy, go and call out to the people, we have to leave as soon as possible, if we get there late we won’t be able to catch a hot meal.”

“Okay.”

Little Reed Name flapped her wings and got up, but before she left, she added curiously:
“Moeha hasn’t been online for a few days now, something won’t happen to her, right? When I asked Sister Pomegranate, she wouldn’t tell me either, she just said that I would see Moeha again in a few days. That guy compelled me to dismantle the arithmetic treasure bead with her, and as a result, he directly alarmed Lord Murphy to scare me.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

To this question, Mrs. Water just snorted and said:
“Since she hasn’t been deleted it means that the problem is not big, maybe there are some things delayed in reality, that girl is reckless is really reckless.

But this is not a bad thing.

There are only so many girls in the game at the moment, the premise of us helping each other is that we can trust each other.

After this, Moeha could probably really be one of us too, and with Cement Sister currently out of reach, we could really use an awesome brain to help us with some long-term and complex thinking.

I’m sure Little Garnet will work out the kinks, so we just have to give them both a little time.”

She reached over and patted the little Vikram name on the shoulder and head with a smile:

“Of course, just leave these troublesome issues to me to think about, you just need to enjoy the joy and satisfaction this game brings you. But then again, these days you always seem to be heading to the Blood Wyvern Cloisters and sneaking around, did you trigger any hidden quests or make new friends?”

“It’s pretty awesome guys ow.”

Little Vikramana said as she waved her fist:
“But I can’t introduce him to you guys right now, after all, his situation is rather special, let’s not talk about that for now, let’s just finish this random event tonight.”

While the girl group was gearing up, the student party, who had already been moving around the Smuggler’s Woodland in recent times, reacted even faster.

They crossed the woodlands in a cool flying array at low altitude led by the lead Big Dove and sped towards the direction where the Jackal Warlocks were making their mess. However, the student party that was operating this night was missing Bull, a super shield T, so it had to be temporarily covered by Khaki and Shrimp Catchers.

These two guys both had the secondary position of Shield Defender, and although they were inferior to Bull in terms of strength, it wasn’t a big problem for them to make a cameo appearance as a defender on the battlefield.

The student party had been tracking the clue of the jackals in the swamp, and now that these hideouts had finally appeared, it made them even more reluctant to give up this hard-to-get clue.

But during the flight, what they discussed most was not how to attack those jackals or take the opportunity to take a group of locals captive, instead, something within them was put on the agenda for discussion .
“Shit! The Ox has been seduced by Ambrosia, he’s not playing with us these days, he’s followed his paperboy wife Ambrosia and a couple of witch hunters to the swamps for a couple of days.”

Meowshark, who was flying in the air and spinning around to show off his “super dexterity”, spat out:
“Those who know he’s on a scouting mission, those who don’t think he’s on a date with Amber.”

“Geez, how do you know the two of them aren’t dating?”

Mud gave Luta Oil a loud voice:

“It’s possible that the other Ms. Ambrosia doesn’t go out of her way and likes to talk about love in these strange places? But you’re right, too.

This bull is now completely out of pretense and showing his cards.

In the past, he would still be shy when we asked him about it in the dormitory, but now he’s just posed, pretending that he didn’t hear it and loving it, and his dead pig’s face makes people unable to bring up the interest of teasing him.

You guys say, is Niu Niu the first one in the play house to fall in love with a paper man’s wife?”

“The first? NONONO, he is not the first.”

Badger gave a strange smile and shared in a low voice the gossip he had heard from the bricklayer a few days ago.

After hearing Badger talk about fighting the gray man and the Parian sisters, the group of “love-struck” students were all laughing and smiling, and they had to stretch their voices to let out a burst of cries when they flew rapidly in the air.

“And there’s that old crook, Brother Stick!”

The electronic snail also came over and said:
“I’ve seen occasional scenes before when he’s spending time with his own bloodline, Stick says on his lips that Ms. Melia will only give him a bad time, but in reality he’s more than once taken Melia to roam around the barracks or the streets of the Scarlet Fortress at night oh so often.

Isn’t Ms. Merliah’s eyes not so good?
I’ve seen the scene where Stick pulls her with his cane, tsk, tsk, that older innocent single dog is still too embarrassed to go up and take someone’s hand.

No wonder he’s been single for so long.

I can only say that the paperboy wives in this ghost game are indeed too uptight, and if you look at the unique modeling of these girls, I really don’t blame our bull for being weak-willed. Using this kind of stuff to test the cadres, this who can’t stand it! Who isn’t confused ah?”

“Ch, woman!”

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che heard the people beside him talking about this gossip, and he chided rather impatiently:

“Women will only affect the speed of my spell rubbing, these weak-willed guys would actually immerse themselves in the tenderness of their electronic wives. Bah, how unproductive! It’s true that only a super fierce man with a heart as cold as iron like Che Che can reach the top of the Spiritual Energy Supreme Peak ah.”

“Yes, yes, yes, know that you don’t like normal people.”

The cooing chicken from the same dormitory laughed badly and took Che Che’s shoulder, saying:

“Other people say that they like Fury is just a figure of fun, only you kid is playing for real, alas, not me to say you, this XP of yours is too crooked, how can we do this in reality in the future ah? Or not to hair brother application, looking for the development team to give you design a rabbit ear lady out?”

“The dog only want development group to send wife le.”

The car car mouth hard screamed to:

“I don’t want it, I want to be the most powerful vampire psychic in the world! Then I’ll build my own rabbit-eared lady and pinch one myself, huh? You no-good guys can’t understand my great ambition.

Che Che doesn’t need a girlfriend, Che Che builds her own girlfriend!”

“Bull!”

“666!”

“Brother Che Che will build me one too!”

“One person builds one! No, let’s build ten!”

The detractors beside them burst into laughter and uproar, and this pleasant atmosphere all the way lasted until they were the first to arrive at the border of East Prussia at the high speed of flight.

“Holy shit!”

Meow Shark, who had the highest perception and the best eyesight, exclaimed as he made a sharp stop in the air and hung in the air to look out at the burning land in front of him:

“What did those Jackals do here? This fire is too much, isn’t it? Did they set the ground on fire?”

“Uneducated pathetic hunter, this is the time for Cheche to explain the wonders of psychic energy to you.”

The invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che hung beside Meow Shark and rubbed his chin in a rather professional manner:

“This look is the scene made by the heavenly fire meteorite smashing down, I’ve learned this unique earth-type psychic energy technique from Missy.

Although its power in terms of destruction and spiritual impact is inferior to the Sublime Meteorite spells we’ve seen, the advantage of this thing is that it’s simple and easy to use, and it’s one of the lowest thresholds of entry in the series of ‘meteorite system’ spells.

However, a firestorm caused by a skyfire meteorite blast of this scale is indeed rare, it should be someone releasing a large-scale Flame Strike spell, it seems that the Jackal Warlocks that came over this time are not easy to deal with, they are definitely all true elites, together with the skeleton army under their command.
This battle is not a good one.”

“A good fight wouldn’t require us to step in! Isn’t it?”

The big pigeon in the lead sneered and drew the scarlet staff behind his back with his backhand as he said loudly:

“Psychics come with me, extinguish this fire storm first, non-psychics start hunting freely around the area, we’ve all dealt with skeleton armies before, we all know the weaknesses of this thing! Don’t waste time fighting those skeleton frames, find their manipulators and perform precision decapitations.

Meowshark, send out your hyenas to search for survivors.

Fights have to be fought and people have to be saved it’s called eating two fish in one!”

“Good Dove, Tepal sent word that they are on their way, requesting that we take the place of the reinforcements and send word to the Goldfinch soldiers who are guarding the defenses.”

Electrosnail came over and spoke:
“Tepal said that he wants those soldiers to prepare for a surprise attack and launch a curated surprise attack with the Riptide Knights inside and out after their large force comes over. Also, Uncle Fording wants us to find the location of the Jackal Warlock’s summoning ritual, we must interrupt the scale of the Skeleton Army’s spread, and not allow the Jackal Warlocks to summon any more undead.

This snowball can be difficult once it rolls.”

“Easy for you to say!”

Good Dove cursed:

“We’ve also just arrived here, where are we going to find the location of those Jackals’ secret summons? Aside from the last time I followed the Shrimp Catchers over to catch people and return to deliver, this is my first time in this damn place, okay?”

“This way! Hey, flying vampire in the sky, come this way! Hey, see? I’m here! Come on!”

Just then, the noisy shouts from below caused Meowshark, who had the strongest perception, to look down and was shocked to find a ghostly jackal hunter hiding in the shadows below.

It was waving its claws towards the sky in a sneaky manner, the posture that was not afraid of people came from the smuggler’s woodland at a glance, and it was estimated that only the jackals of the Blood Claw Clan in the entire continent had such a unique posture.

“Hogg’s people?”

Meowshark exclaimed:

“Why is that guy here too hiss, I’m starting to feel like this isn’t right tonight, could this be the official Transia maneuvering behind the scenes”

“You go down and ask first. The rest of you get moving, quick!”

Good Dove gave an order, and the crowd scattered in all directions.

Under the cover of the cooing chicken, Badger flew over the scorching hot and chaotic sky and the already chaotic battlefield below, and he descended sharply in a dashing death airborne stance eventually stopping steadily at the back of the Golden Canary Flower Kingdom’s position.

This place had already been breached by the skeleton army once, and was littered with broken bodies and burned skeleton remains, apparently the local guards launched an effective counter-charge and took back the position.

As Badger fell, the already weary soldiers around them grabbed their weapons, while others screamed curses at the damned vampires.

But Badger didn’t care about their reactions.

With his hand on the hilt of the family’s winged blade at his waist, he shouted:
“Let your officers come out! I have come to speak with him on behalf of the supporters of the Blood Vulture Clan and the warriors of Transylvania! We have been authorized by Colonel Fraser.

Damn it!
Where is your officer?
Did he run away? I thought the Pathfinder Corps had strict military discipline?”

“You have our officer’s left leg right under your foot.”

A low voice rang out from behind the soldiers, and then a burly man covered in blood and with a bandage on his head walked out from the collapsed bunker carrying a war hammer.

It was obvious that this guy was already tired, with wounds all over his body, but the anger and wariness in his eyes made Badger realize that this was a tough guy.

“Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean to step on him, mainly because this is too broken .”

The smaller players respected such a true warrior, so Badger’s tone slowed down a bit, and he took a decent step back to avoid provoking hostility from the opposite side by continuing to step on the wreckage of the commander of this line of defense.

He coughed and, as the other man watched, said:
“Support from Transylvania will be coming soon, and our knights ask that you prepare for a counter-attack and join us on the battlefield to winnow down the jackal warlocks and their skeleton armies that come across the border.

I guess our side didn’t expect your casualties to be this bad though, so how many of you can still make it to the battlefield?”

In the face of Badger’s inquiry, the Pathfinder Legion Ensign in front of him rudely spat a blood-stained mouthful of saliva towards his feet as he leaned on his warhammer and shouted behind him, and one by one the weary warriors rose from their hiding places.

“There were 540 of us, now there are 130 more…”

The ensign whispered:

“But don’t worry, we’ll show up on time for battle.”
