Chapter 459 458.To cure Murphy’s uneasiness, Brother Loyalty has come up with an epoch-making product! -[More 2525] 2023-12-08 By: Frank the Handsome Dog
(For brother “Warm Wine” [5/5])
Although and Tris kissing and sticking to make people’s hearts relaxed, but Murphy’s heart shadow did not therefore dissolve, in the posture of the love and love will be Tris back to her secret laboratory, Murphy thought anyway can not sleep might as well go out to turn around.
So he spread his wings once again.
This time he didn’t need Revernor to guide him under the darkness of the night, so he just let himself go and soared around his own vast territory, flying wherever he could, just like a vampire-style high-altitude car race to relax.
After seeing himself getting farther and farther away from the Scarlet Fortress, Murphy suddenly realized a fact that he hadn’t been paying much attention to.
That said, from the time the vampire race was born on the continent and formed its own civilization colony until now, Murphy was probably the guy who actually controlled the most territory among all the vampire lords in the ancient times.
Even though Transylvania had nominally belonged to the Blood Vulture Clan for the past four hundred years, even beggars and jackals on this land knew that the Sicorian Territory had never really been under Salokdar’s control.
The blood vulture patriarch’s control over the south and west is also very weak, it can be said that in the era of Salokdar, the blood vulture clan’s real control of the core area is also the circle of Count Cadman’s territory.
And the Thorn Clan had a small principality on the border of the Kingdom of Nordtorf, which was almost two-thirds the size of Transylvania, which was already considered quite a remarkable power in the vampire political entity.
The Wolfsbane Clan nominally controls the dark area of Guerin Island, but in reality, we all know that the order of this dark area is all dependent on King Louis to turn a blind eye, once the “Sun King” really moved his heart, with the current prosperity of the Kingdom of Canary Blossom’s national strength, at most a month of ” With the current prosperity of the Kingdom of Canary Flower, a month’s worth of “Fighting Blackness and Eliminating Evil” will be able to break the bones of the Wolfsbane Clan.
The other clans are even more needless to say.
The Blood League Knights had no territory, the Blood Fear Clan had been floating on the sea for two hundred years, and the main body of the Secret Blood Clan had disappeared from the continent since the last Black Plague, with only two or three kittens remaining to move about in the darkness of the night, and even Tris couldn’t confirm that they still existed.
As for the Mad Blood Clan
That cursed clan has been sealed in the Holy Blood Land since the beginning of the Era until now, they have never really set foot on this continent, so nowadays when discussing vampire affairs in this era, these guys are generally not counted in.
After pondering over the matter for a while, Murphy realized that he had actually lit up an extraordinary achievement without realizing it, so it was no wonder that Venerable Lord Paying was so courteous to himself!
Perhaps before he realized it, the old and sophisticated venerable lord realized that this young vampire was a “rare commodity”?
Thinking about it, Murphy was still a little proud.
He had started from nothing, and little by little, he had brought the dying Blood Vulture Clan back to this point.
Although the clan is still far from recovering to its heyday, but with more and more players becoming vampires, Murphy and Tris can be sure that when the Black Calamity arrives, the Blood Vulture Clan will once again become a party of great heroes that can take out nearly 1,000 Black Iron Warriors in a single breath, and after the Black Calamity is over, the probability that Murphy will be able to put together a “Silver Hundred” will not be a problem. It’s not a problem.
“When the situation in Transylvania is fully collected in my hands, and after surviving the Black Calamity, I’ll have to think about expanding my territory and regaining the lost land.”
Murphy thought in his mind as he reduced his flight speed from supersonic to a cruising attitude in the air, also allowing himself to go from a high altitude into a low altitude cruise of a few hundred meters:
“It hasn’t even been six months since the end of the Ten Year War, and the people of the East Prussia and Kavkhoka regions still have a certain amount of centripetal force towards the Bosnian Confederacy. Especially in the Kavhoka region, the brutal suppression by the Yankees over there has made many people resentful.
This is a good opportunity.
But if it continues to drag on things won’t look good, and that Wolf Woman won’t allow Kaphooka, the great breadbasket, to remain outside the Yankee polity.
Huh?
What the hell is that up ahead?”
The vampire lord’s attention was suddenly drawn to a point of light flying in the blackness ahead of him, and he looked up and squinted to make the focus of his vampire eyeballs change.
After a second of fine-tuning he saw clearly what was in the darkness in the distance, it was a small player riding on a wind vulture, if he remembered correctly, this guy’s ID was called “Thirty Years Old Smoke Sang” again?
He seemed to be a professional pilot.
What was he planning to do by running up to this thousand meters in the air at night without sleeping? Like him, he had something on his mind so he couldn’t sleep?
Murphy had a bad smile on his face.
He called on the shadows to shroud himself to hide himself, sneaking close to Smoke Sang who was adjusting the Wind Wyvern’s flying stance, intending to scare him a little bit as a way to complete a prank between a mainline NPC and his own little cute players.
However, just as Murphy sneaked closer, he heard Smoke Sang yell at the top of his voice to the person on the other end of the arithmetic pearl:
“The first test of the napalm incendiary bomb is ready! Wind speed is normal, flight speed is up to expectations! The ground target is locked and ready to be dropped! Several observation posts watch for blast effects!
Three, two, one!
Drop the bomb!”
“Fuck!”
Murphy was startled by Smokey Sang’s shout, but before his eyes Smokey Sang had let out a ghostly shriek, then opened the carabiner hanging below the wind vulture.
A black round thing was driven by the flight trajectory of the wind vulture towards the ground, the wind vulture that had reduced its weight climbed up quickly, and the bomb that had been made in the style of an aerial bomb just grazed Murphy’s body and smashed down.
This group of very criminal little bastards also put a buzzer on the bomb, so that when this thing falls down to make a sharp and ear-piercing sound, quite a kind of World War II hero Stuka’s death wail charm.
Murphy saw Smokey Sang pulling on the reins to get the wind buzzard up in the air quickly, and he himself rushed to flap his wings to lift off, and just as he quickly climbed to the kilometer position, there was a loud boom, and the ground exploded into a blinding ball of fire accompanied by a release of heat that started a prairie fire in the wilderness below.
I don’t know what kind of stuff these assholes added to it, making the flames erupt with a fast and furious gesture, almost engulfing the entire target area they had built out on the wilderness in the blink of an eye.
Those forts built out of wooden planks and the scarecrows put down in the dug out gullies and other things were incinerated by the flames, and in an instant it was like falling into a flaming inferno.
“This isn’t right, is it?”
Murphy hovered high in the sky to look down.
He recalled the war documentaries he had watched in the past, and as far as he remembered, the power and flame spread of such light incendiary bombs that could be dropped by flying carriers shouldn’t have been as big as this.
And wasn’t it said before that this thing was difficult to make? Why did they produce a finished product so quickly?
Could it be that some extraordinary talent had entered the game again?
That’s not right!
I’ve been reviewing the young players who’ve recently logged into the game, and there are no “copyable talents” being recruited in this area.
Before Murphy could fly down to discuss the dangers of wantonly setting fire with the cheering group of “arsonists” on the ground, he saw Smoky Sang, who had just flown away, flying back on his wind vulture, and this time there was a slightly smaller explosive bomb hanging below his wind vulture.
The shape of this thing was strange like a beehive, it looked like many bombs were roughly fixed together.
Murphy was immediately interested.
He stealthily approached again, intending to see what kind of weapon Smoke Sang was going to throw into the ground this time.
“Second experiment in incendiary bomb projection! This time it’s on a white phosphorus bomb knocked out by Brother Loyalty himself, it’ll have a wider range, the vampire brothers acting as spotters retreat to the safe zone!”
Smokey Sang with his WWII style flight goggles yelled to the arithmetic treasure beads he had secured to his arm:
“Remember to release the skeleton army that was used as a damage control into the blast range before you leave, this is a power test! We’re going to test to see if the white phosphorus rounds can do enough damage to the skeleton army.
One minute countdown for the bomb drop!”
“!!!”
Murphy’s expression was completely untenable when he heard the shout.
If he remembered correctly, white phosphorus bombs were forbidden to be used in war, right? With the exception of some scummy countries, all the countries that were even remotely related to “civilization” had already banned the use of this kind of weapon.
However, even Murphy, who knew nothing about engineering, knew that white phosphorus was not a high tech weapon, at least not compared to the horrific lethality it caused to biological targets.
It was indeed a bit too inhumane to use this thing against the soldiers of other countries, but it was very appropriate to use it to eliminate the Skeleton Army.
This made Murphy begin to look forward to the results of this white phosphorus bomb test firing.
He waited patiently while hovering at a high altitude, and after a minute, Smoke Sang once again simulated an air cavalry bomb-dropping stance to drop the hive-type white phosphorus bombs suspended by the wind vulture at a predetermined speed and altitude.
Exactly the same falling trajectory, exactly the same beeping shrillness.
However, this thing disintegrated and burned at a height of 100 meters, making the dark night of this wilderness illuminated by hundreds of bright “starbursts”, which was the scene of white phosphorus with extremely low ignition point being ignited under the effect of friction heat with the air.
Each drop of burning hot light trailing a long flame spilled onto the wilderness and began to attach itself to any object in the blast zone below and burned until it reduced itself and everything around it to ashes. Discounting the meaning of damage and destruction, the “Starlight Fall” under the night was like a splendid fireworks display, making Xiao Xuelun, who was following Loyalty and the designers of the Arsenal to stay on the observation deck and watch the scene with a telescope, voice out a heartfelt sigh of emotion.
“It’s beautiful.”
She said:
“It’s like my father threw a birthday party just for me when I was twelve, and my engineering instructor made homemade fireworks to celebrate my birthday that night.”
“I suspect you wouldn’t be happy if you knew what kind of horrific results something you made with your own hands would have on a human vs. human battlefield. Compared to this thing we just threw down, everything you’ve known to be evil before is as cute and harmless as a doll held by a little girl.
If there is a hell in this world, I’m guessing we’d all be on the hell visitor’s registry by now.”
The loyalist next to him spat out a little.
Although he had provided the drawings for the white phosphorus bombs that Xiao Xuelun had made, he had never thought that they could actually be made at Transylvania’s industrial level when he had sought the advice of the “professionals” at the very beginning.
As it turned out, the process of white phosphorus bombs is really not difficult, and the world’s steam engineers do not know nothing about white phosphorus as a chemical.
After Loyal Brother described the properties of white phosphorus, Little Sheridan flew to bring him the physical object.
This substance is called “Bach’s Fire Wax” in this continent, and it is said to be a special substance discovered by the outstanding halfling mechanic Old Bach Vas Light when he was young, and halfling engineers would use it to make some complicated ignition devices.
According to Sheridan, white phosphorus was used in some of the weapons made by halflings, but the halfling engineers of this world were obviously not crazy enough to weaponize this kind of thing.
Perhaps that is to say, they knew it could be used as a weapon, but they kept it secret until the otherworldly visitor revealed to Sherron another use for the stuff other than for starting fires.
Sherron just knew the stuff was powerful, but she remained ignorant of the horrors of white phosphorus shells.
“The results of the damage test are in.”
The Arsenal Designer with the ID “Nightmare Bat Puppet” ran over to Brother Loyalty with a small notebook and reported to him:
“We threw thirty Skeleton Soldiers into the blast zone, after the test bomb exploded and fully burned, only five were left that could still move, the rest all had severe burns of varying degrees, and more than twelve Skeleton Soldiers were completely burned to ashes.
It was proved that the white phosphorus attached to the burning state was completely capable of destroying the bodies of low-level skeleton soldiers, and the high temperature it emitted was also enough to destroy their undead sanity that was maintained by the Underworld aura.
I reckon we might have actually found a new way to deal with the Skeleton Army, and its wide-range instantaneous effect is definitely more useful than flames, after all, there’s no way to put this thing out with water!”
“Good, then put it on the list for expedited production.”
Brother Loyalty took the record book and scanned it, saying:
“In addition to making flying bombs that can be dropped from high altitude, make another batch of white phosphorus dragon breath bombs that can be targeted to equip shotgunners.
Forget about the grenade modifications.
This thing is too dangerous, and if it is thrown incorrectly it can easily take the entire trench of other brothers with it to Avalon.
But we could consider making artillery-fired white phosphorus shells.
The first round of test-fired napalm was a little subtle.
We added gold-burning powder to it to make it sustain a covered burn of this intensity, and it turns out that alchemy in this world really can’t be separated from the marvelous thing called gold-burning.
I can’t imagine the devastating consequences of adding gold to a real napalm bomb after it’s been made, when you can transform it by adding gold to a degraded incendiary bomb like the one made by Pigeon Treasure.
Now it seems that Stick’s plan to burn down the swamp is actually somewhat achievable.
The prerequisite is that we have to get our hands on enough combustion gold to use as an accelerant, alas, the problem is that Transylvania doesn’t produce the stuff, and that’s a real pain in the ass!”
“In the case of combustion gold, there should be some in stock at Madame Tris’ place.”
Next to her, little Sherron said:
“I can write to some of my mentor’s old friends in Chardonnay Harbor and ask for their help in sending over some burning gold, but the timing might be a bit stretched.”
“Burning gold is mostly mined by the brass dwarves, right?”
Murphy’s voice suddenly rang out beside Sherron and Brother Loyalty, and the vampire governor, who had stepped out of the shadows, waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for the guards around him to salute.
He looked at Sherron and said:
“I heard from Tris earlier that although the halflings were the first to discover burning gold hundreds of years ago, they had to rely on the brass dwarves’ talent in mining to obtain sufficient amounts of burning gold?”
“Well, indeed.”
Sherron said:
“Near the Brass Fortress in the Dark Mountain Range lies the largest mine of Burning Gold that has been discovered on the continent so far, and the circulation of this kind of thing on the continent is also basically monopolized by the Brass Dwarf’s mining company. Many people want to hook up with the Brass Dwarves, but as the worst-tempered race in the three Dwarf clans, no, as the worst-tempered race in the entire continent, the Brass Dwarves are not willing to take care of those guys with evil intentions.
If you want to purchase from them on a large scale, it would take a long, long time just to get through the connections.
Lord Murphy, could it be that you have contacts in this area?”
“No, no, no, I don’t know any of the Brass Dwarves.”
Murphy shook his head:
“But I know a Silver Dwarf Marshal, and that guy has a certain status in Dwarf society. I also know a vampire venerable lord, and even the elf king has to listen to him when it comes to matters concerning the Black Plague.
With a combination of the two, I think we can take care of the Burning Gold before the Black Plague arrives.”
When he finished speaking, Murphy turned his head back to Brother Loyalty, who stared at the leader of the otherworldly agents in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:
“I know that perhaps the use of this weapon will cause you intense guilt and unease, I can assure you that it will not be used in an engagement with any civilized force, we are vampires but we are not animals, this thing is inhumane to any sentient being with senses and feelings.
But my Lord Arsenal Leader, I need you to create more of these amazing weapons when the Black Plague occurs.
I need many, many more.
Make them the first priority to produce!
I can allocate all the resources you need to you, and by the way, use the war in the Filthy Swamp as a testing ground for new weapons.
I want to give my generals and my soldiers some confidence, and I want them to know that we are capable of holding back and repelling the Jackal threat.”
“As you wish, His Excellency the Governor.”
Loyalist came to a standstill in his place as he responded:
“I’ll make a list for the Administration Office, and we can begin production as soon as the resources are available! However, I need to recruit a group of trusted workers locally to specialize in the production of these weapons, it’s a matter of Transylvania’s military secrets, I can’t hand them over to the workers of the Carpe family to make.
Once the principle of this thing is figured out, it will be easy to copy it with the caliber of the engineers on the continent.
Secrecy is a must.”
“Well, we still have a lot of pending blood servants.”
Murphy said softly:
“It may be time for their loyalties, which seem twisted and fanatical, to be put to proper use.”
Ps:
Finish typing and call it a day! Please ask for a monthly ticket, if this month’s monthly ticket is over 2W, next month there will be a monthly ticket plus more and an ally for His Excellency the “Crow” plus more, love you guys~!
