448.Chapter 446: 445 “Swamp Shadow” Official Release and Celebrities

Chapter 446: 445: “Shadow of the Swamp” Official Release and Hall of Fame Opening [加更1225].

(For brother “Orchid Eyes” [2/5])
After sending off Brother Meow Meow, Brother Stick stayed alone in the tent, a little sad.

Hey, the relationship has finally faded ah.

He expressed such amusing sentiments, and then exclaimed that something was wrong.

With a quick turn of his smart brain, he realized a rather “shocking” possibility, with the kind of shrewd thinking of Brother Meow Meow, it was impossible for him not to realize that the cooperation between the Big Bird Regiment and the Hammer and Sickle Regiment was the optimal solution, but now he gave up on cooperating with Brother Stick.
It’s likely that there is a bit of “personal grudge” mixed in there.

Could it be that the fact that he had asked Brother Fat to let Brother Woo Meow accompany him to sit in jail for seven days had been exposed?

I don’t think so.
Fat should not take the initiative to disclose this kind of thing, after all, in terms of Fat’s character on the forum, he does not seem to be a happy person who likes to see people’s bad luck, and as an administrator, he should at least have the professional ethics not to disclose this kind of thing, right?
Aiya aiya aiya, if I had known this, why did I bother?
With this kind of faint sadness, Rod poured himself a cup of fruit wine and touched out a small bottle to drop a few drops of blood inside.

This is the “medicine” that Mrs. Tris gave him, after each time he let Merillia suck blood, he can use this way to weaken the terrible attribute weakening a little bit.

Although the vampire players only looked like vampires and didn’t have any real blood-sucking instincts, but the shape-shifting allowed them to actually have the ability to draw power from blood, just that people from the civilized world certainly weren’t so barbaric as to taste blood.

The last time he gave Merillia her first embrace, Stick was nearly sick to his stomach from sucking on blood.

Hey, even as a vampire, he still has an otherworldly stomach, and the local vampire’s “recipes” are still a bit too exotic for them.

“I sense a disturbance in your heart.”

Merliah’s voice rang out in the tent, causing Stick, who was drinking the oddly flavored blood wine, to sigh.

He had now adapted to Meria’s “mysterious presence” beside him, along with his own “blood” being continuously drawn, Meria’s strength was also slowly recovering, and this former wolfsbane girl had begun her “secondary development” of her wings again in the recent days. “The former wolfsbane girl has begun to develop her wings again in recent days.

This has made her a little uncomfortable, and she always wears wide clothes to cover the blood that drips down her back.

Unfortunately, the poisoned blindness still wasn’t getting any better unless she drank the source blood, but just hearing the name of the stuff told her how expensive it was.

Rod didn’t even dare to ask Lord Murphy for a quote so as not to irritate his fragile little heart, and every time he thought he was a little rich, all sorts of new props would always appear to prove that he was still a poor mercenary.

“You seem to be troubled by something, can you tell me? Maybe I can help you open up a bit?”

Meria held a staff sword as a guide.

She came to Stick with a graceful stride, her vampire senses making it impossible for her to trip over debris, but the slow motion that was characteristic of the blind added a sense of “softness” to her.

In the face of Merliah’s inquiry, Stick originally did not intend to say, but he had nothing else to do, so he hesitated for a moment and then told the current situation.

Meria was silent for a few seconds after listening patiently, seemingly organizing his words before speaking:
“In fact, in my opinion, that Woo Meow Brother’s choice is correct. Even if you don’t consider the friendship between the two of you, just from the most rational point of view, choosing to cooperate with another force in this operation to grow his own self was also a choice he had to make.

Your team is already a dominant force among the warriors, so if he continues to follow in your footsteps, he will be giving up his own ambitions and becoming your vassal.

This is a good life plan for the mediocre, but anyone with a little bit of ambition will not allow his career to be dependent on other powerful people.

Even if not now, the same situation is destined to occur in the future.

And from my shallow understanding of you, you should have been prepared for this; you’re not a secure person, and you’re always preparing for bad things that might come your way.”

“I know.”

Stick put his glass down and whispered:

“But it’s still a bit overwhelming that a former partner is now a competitor, and it’s because I know his talents that I can sense how fierce the competition will be in this pioneering endeavor. The competition between each other had already appeared after we were brought into the same system as a guild, and now it’s just a matter of bringing that competition out into the open.

In a new world of infinite possibilities, no one wants to subscribe to the assertion that they’re just a mediocrity
That’s true for me, that’s true for Woo Meow, that’s true for Silvermoon Corps, and that’s true for the Student Party.

Our once-hidden potential is being realized, yet like members of a united wolf pack there is a division between them.”

“But that’s a good thing.”

Meria said softly:

“Proper healthy competition will keep you all motivated, and in the overall scheme of things, it will allow you to achieve long-lasting strength; a pool of stagnant water will only breed irreparable degradation.”

“Uh-huh.”

Stick nodded.

As a former soldier, he agreed with Meria’s statement, and he had realized that he was afraid that his team would have to fight alone in this operation.

But Stick wasn’t afraid of this competition!
The truth was, as Brother Meow Meow had said, his Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Corps had surpassed the current group of players in terms of both quantity and quality due to their “source of soldiers”, and especially after they acquired the Winged Cavalry’s transfer system, the rise of the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Corps was already a foregone conclusion.

Even if the scenario for this event was a swampy terrain that wasn’t suitable for cavalry to play in, his partners were definitely tougher than other guild members even if they dismounted and fought on foot.

The War Blessing and Mountain Folk Bloodline in them were no joke, and their advantages in melee combat could not be ignored.

But just as Stick was ready to fight alone, an unexpected guest paid him a visit.

Led by the NPC squire, the short and chubby Border City Prodigal Son walked into Stick’s tent carrying a classic model Mosin-Nagan rifle, this middle-aged man who always had a wry smile on his face exchanged pleasantries with Stick and then opened the door:
“Our ‘Loyal Hymn’ guild would like to form an alliance with your team in this big event, Brother Stick, although we are small in number, we can provide you with a lot of help as logisticians because of the fact that the First National Arsenal of Transylvania is in our operation.

But we have to state that this alliance is just the beginning.

If possible, we would like both sides to maintain a long-lasting friendly relationship, and by that I mean the ‘strategic partner’ type.”

“This.”

Faced with the request made by Brother Prodigal, Stick was a bit hesitant.

It was certainly good to receive assistance from other guilds, not to mention that the weapons and ammo that the arsenal in his hands could provide was something he desperately needed.

Happy Stick’s hesitation came from other sources.

He had been very careful to maintain a distance from these “guys” in front of him over the past period of time.

He was probably one of the first people in the game to realize the “details” of these guys, and Stick didn’t intend to let some disturbing factors appear in his gaming career, which had so far been maintained at a 300% satisfaction rate, so he pondered for nearly thirty seconds before he spoke:

“Cooperation, yes!

I’m happy to maintain good cooperative relationships with other players, but that’s limited to in-game, I’m not in the habit of meeting online friends offline.

What I mean is, how about keeping what happens in the game in the game and not letting it involve reality?”

“Oh?”

Prodigal Brother looked at Happy Stick in surprise.

The guy’s answer made him realize that their disguise seemed to have been demolished in front of Happy Stick, and this once outstanding soldier seemed to have known where they came from.

Tsk tsk, worthy of being a guy who has been around several places in Africa, this danger perception is just sharp.

“Okay!”

Brother Prodigal Son laughed and stretched out his hand, he said meaningfully to Happy Stick:
“Don’t worry, we also don’t have the habit of asking strange netizens for tea offline, as you said, what happens in the game let it stay in the game, in reality we are just strangers. Next week we will have a batch of newcomers entering the game, and we will arrange them to work on your side as clerks.

Don’t worry, it’s just an internship for half a month at most.

Please help us bring the newcomers along, and let them participate in the swamp raiding, so that they can taste the flavor of gunpowder and get used to the otherworldly combat mode.

Don’t worry! I’ll never let you work for nothing.

Brother Loyalty said that when the first batch of firearms and explosives come off the line, they will be supplied to you on a priority basis.”

“Hey, this is a good sentiment, can I customize the style? If I say I want a 56 punch.”

“Eh, this can’t be done for now, the machining precision and materials are insurmountable pits, but the Mosin-Nagan is negotiable, and those Slavic firearms that will be pointed out by climbing up this tech tree are distinctly aesthetically pleasing.

Even if only big bolts are available now, the ‘Mad Minute’ is great, isn’t it?”
—
“The Scarlet Beasts have taken the Skeleton Army’s outposts? They’re actually moving this fast? I really underestimated the enthusiasm that this group of students can explode.”

In the Scarlet Cloister, Murphy looked at the frontline battle report coming back from the Core Treasure Pearl for a moment and tsked.

He hadn’t even released this “new event” yet, but the young players over there had already gotten into the swing of things, so it seemed that after this period of training, the idea of “building a career” had already sprouted in the hearts of every Transylvanian warrior.

Good!

Great thing ah.

It’s a sign of Transylvania’s rise to the top that everyone’s striving to be the first.

The Vampire Lord nodded with satisfaction, then made the final cuts to the quest document that had already been edited long ago in the Core Treasure Pearl and clicked Publish.

For a moment, all the warriors holding the Player’s Money Computing Pearl within the entire Transylvania received this quest triggering reminder, like an invisible bell ringing, announcing that Transylvania’s new history had finally entered the next stage.

“Ding”

The crisp beep caused Old Huo, who was calculating yesterday’s earnings in the village chief’s office in the “Treasure Bay”, to look up and see the event reminder that had appeared on the arithmetic pearl:
[Main Quest Chapter 1 – Dawn of Transylvania Stage 3 Event Update: ‘Shadow of the Swamp’ has been triggered!

Event Content:

With one hidden danger after another being uprooted from the land of Transylvania, this suffering land is regaining its strength, however, the Black Plague is coming means that the peaceful life that was so hard to fight for won’t last for long, the footsteps of war are already approaching, and our enemies have sent out their vicious vanguard.

The Plague Clan from the Dark Mountains hides in the foul swamps on the borders of Transylvania, a group of assholes who wield foul psychic energy and disturb the dead, peering malevolently at the land.

The peace and quiet of others is a constant threat to them, and the tragedy in the town of Marlowe was only the first victim of this evil to leak out.

Governor Murphy and his warriors have decided not to ignore this threat any longer! Even more so, no one would allow these villains to wreak havoc on the re-emergence of Transylvania.

Therefore, Governor Murphy hereby issues the Warrior Mobilization Order!
Effective immediately, the enlisted warriors shall travel to the dangerous swamps as Transylvania sends its sharpest soldiers straight into the heart of the enemy and end the shadow of the threat posed by the Plague Clan with a clean victory.

Victory and honor shall be yours!

Event Description:

Note I:

Since Transylvania is still in the midst of the ‘Hundred Days of Construction’ operation, and the pace of construction cannot be stopped just because of a border war, Governor Murphy will not use any official Transylvanian forces in this incident, and will only send Her Excellency Countess Phineas of Andromeda as a facilitator to take part in this incident.

Tip!

The Shadow of the Swamp event is related to the opening of Team Copy 003, ‘Land of the Rotting Corpses’, and the end of the team copy’s raid will be used as the event’s end marker.

Hints!

Her Excellency Countess Femis of Andromeda will only enter the Battlefield of the Swamp after the opening of the team copy, and she will support the player guilds that have acquired the rights to raid the copy to complete their raiding operations on Plague Town.

Note two:
As the Plague Clan is part of the Black Plague, this rightfully attracts the attention of all civilized forces that are wary of the Black Plague!
Therefore, in the event, the ‘Crimson Fortress’ located at the easternmost end of the Maginot Defense Line and the ‘Goldfinch Vanguard Battalion’ at the westernmost section will debut as supporting forces and open up for prestige redemption.

Both sides are attributed and extended prestige as follows:
Crimson Fortress – Kingdom of Nordtorf / Winter Wolf Legion / Clan Thorns
Pioneer Pioneer Camp – Kingdom of Goldfinch / Pioneer Legion / Clan Capay
Concerned that the changes in the Defiled Swamp will cause further ecological disasters, the Church of Avalon will also send some of its elite members into the swamp as a support force.

Please note!
The term ‘support force’ means that the organization will only provide logistical support and necessary assistance, and will not actively participate in attacks against the Jackal Clan unless a “collective request for assistance” is made by the player base on that front.

A “collective call for help” requires the approval of 60% of the players on each front before it can be carried out.

Note 3
Because the swamp area where Plague Town is located is too large, this operation will advance the war in three directions simultaneously, north, south, and west, all players entering the swamp must choose a route to join, and this operation will be based on a ‘guild’ to report on the status of the war.

Players on each front will be given different responsibilities, so they cannot switch fronts without a special reason.

Unguilded players sign up as ‘mercenaries’ and belong to the support force of each front.

Currently, the fronts are as follows:

Southern Front – Avalon Vanguard.

Northern Front – Crimson Fortress.

Western Front – Goldfinch Pioneer Battalion.

The current leading player guilds for each front are as follows:
Southern Front – Big Bird Spinners / Pride of the Silver Moon / Knights of the Riptide
Northern Front – Scarlet Hammer and Sickle / Loyal Hymns

Western Front – Scarlet Beasts / Demon Octet / Shadow Stalkers / Soldier Strikes

Description Four:
The “Shadow of the Swamp” incident is currently categorized as a “Border Conflict” and is under observation for 40 days.

If the players are unable to resolve the conflict within forty days, the incident will be upgraded to a “Military Threat” and force Governor Murphy to mobilize the regular army under the command of Lord Kudel to enter the Tainted Swamp to resolve the issue.

This also means that the player base will lose access to all loot available in Plague Town, and the ownership of this potential stronghold will be placed under the direct control of the Administration.

Event Rewards:

If the “Shadow of the Swamp” incident is successfully resolved, the player’s “Hall of Fame” will be activated.

Members of the player guilds who have completed a team copy of “The Carrion Lands” prior to the intervention of the Transylvanian authorities and have made significant contributions will be inducted into the first phase of the Hall of Fame.

All Hall of Fame members will receive a 10% discount on all commercial activities in Transylvania.

All members of the Hall of Fame will be awarded the ‘Heroes of Transylvania’ badge by Governor Murphy himself, and will be recorded in the new Clan Bloodwing Chronicles.

The nine hundred and ninety-nine character standing sculptures located throughout the city in the construction plans for the Scarlet Fortress will be modeled after the Hall of Fame members, and physical trophies and miniature statues will be obtained offline as a souvenir, provided by the Real Otherworlds Operations and Maintenance Team.

Event Description:

The warriors of the Otherworld aspire to leave their own legends on this continent, and fate has graciously granted them the power to fulfill their ambitions.

In the presence of this earth, gentlemen! Please start your legends!

“Blanch!”

Old Huo, who originally wasn’t interested in the swamp operation, rose up after seeing this series of instructions, he didn’t care about those honorary rewards, but was exceptionally enthusiastic about the “10% discount” on all commercial activities.

If he can get this permission, “Treasure Bay” already in full swing the development of the situation will certainly be another stage.

“Sinking fish and falling geese, closed moon and shy flowers! Quickly, don’t touch the fish, come and gather here!”

Old Huo instantly shouted in his communication frame:
“Quickly, quickly, we have to hurry up and assess the team that is most likely to accomplish this and start assisting them from now on, otherwise there won’t be a store after this village.”
