“Wow, Mrs. Water’s husband’s force value is quite high ah, whiteboard newcomer situation actually managed to beat the newcomers of the Blood Rats Gang, although it is said that those newcomers and ordinary people are not much different, but this is certainly much better than several of us when we first entered the game’s weak chicken posture.”
In the player’s box on the second floor of the East Mountain Residence, a group of guys who were too idle to be bothered were gathered here, and were using an arithmetic jewel to project a picture of the plaza, whose viewpoint was a handful of images taken down by the assassins of the Big Bird Corps, Little Hands, who had been quietly tailing Brother Firechild and Brother Yuan.
Badger and Mud to Luda Oil sat next to each other rattling peanuts and eating them, discussing them with another raised eyebrow, saying:
“And at first glance, Brother Firechild isn’t exactly handsome and dashing, but just by his courage to catch a thief in a strange place and his cooperation with Brother Yuan, we know that Mrs. Shui’s husband is definitely not a very human person either. Well, I reluctantly recognize this ‘big sister’s husband’.”
“That’s right, commendable courage.”
Happy Stick, who was counting the number of new initiates at another table, also raised his head in appreciation:
“Brother Firechild isn’t one of us fighters who already has a Profession Panel and Black Iron stats, he had no idea what kind of danger he was going to encounter before he did it, but that’s just it he still went on because he couldn’t stand to see a thief bullying a child.
Such courage is true courage, and dealing with such a person in reality is definitely reassuring.
I have a feeling that Brother Firechild might have to break out in Transylvania with Lady Water as a husband and wife, I just don’t know what career he’s going to choose.”
“That goes without saying?”
Old Oil dropped a peanut into his mouth and said:
“As far as Brother Firenze’s wife-favoring status is concerned, he’s bound to take the shield guard route to protect his wife, so I guess the probability is that he’ll join the Church of Avalon and become a White Knight, right? It just so happens that the career path of Mrs. Water can match each other, and there is also a natural sage route in the White Knights that saves lives and helps people.
And the White Knight fits his persona of wanting to protect the weak. In fact, it’s a shame that this game doesn’t have the classic ‘Paladin’ character, if there was a Paladin, then Brother Firenze would definitely be able to switch to a new career!
However, did any of you see where that Yuan brother went?
This guy Little Hands has been hiding and filming the scene of a couple kissing, and while it’s certainly eye-catching, I’m still wondering how Orchid Sister should deal with this traveler who’s chasing after her.”
“If she can be discovered by you, she’s been playing this game for nothing for a while, although Orchid is a powerful shield guard, but she also has a ranger in her secondary profession, in terms of stealth skills, she’s one of the best in a group of melee fighters.”
Happy Stick hummed and said:
“I guess when Lady Water appeared, Brother Yuan was taken away by Orchid Blossom, and this time I don’t know in which nook or cranny to talk about it. Hey, I say you guys, if you have time to watch other couples meet there, why don’t you take some time to come over and help me count the people?”
“Sure.”
Badger dropped the peanut shells in his hand and walked over to glance at the roster in Stick’s hand, which at a glance he exclaimed:
“Shit! Your team has 150 newcomers in this half month alone? So fast? And they are all veterans? Stick brother your appeal in this circle so strong? Could it be that you were some kind of Dragon Group soldier king persona before you retired?”
“Go go go, children’s childish talk.”
Brother Stick rolled his eyes and shooed Badger, who was peeking at the roster, away.
He was too lazy to discuss this issue with this student, but in reality, his own family knew his own business, and Happy Stick knew that his Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Regiment’s membership was expanding so quickly, and it definitely wasn’t just because of the invitations he’d sent out in some veteran groups.
However, from the current situation, everything was still going well, and his own orders were being carried out, and there was no such thing as “listening to the tone but not listening to the announcement”, as he had feared.
“I say, Stick, let me ask you something, if it’s sensitive you can not answer.”
Badger was very familiar with himself as he pulled out a chair and sat beside Happy Stick as he asked in a small voice:
“Are you guys stationed on the Maginot defense line after that? But I’ve heard some gossip that Lord Murphy will send us over to the Dark Mountain Range to assist the Blood Alliance Knights in holding up the frontline positions at a place called Desolate Mountain.
If that’s the case, then the Black Plague’s army won’t be able to enter the Filthy Swamp and come to Transylvania again, so wouldn’t you be wasting a powerful maneuvering force by stationing yourselves on the defense line?
A super troop type like the Winged Cavalry can’t possibly be used only for defense, right?”
“It’s not that just because the defense line is under our control, we must die on the defense line, my guild is just a link in the Maginot defense line, even without us, Lord Kudel will still command a group of NPC elite soldiers stationed there.
My Hammer and Sickle Regiment and I are free to move as the battle develops.”
Happy Stick explained to Badger:
“We’re the equivalent of reserves on the defense line, we go wherever we’re needed, so we can also join you on the front line of Barren Mountain when the Black Plague hasn’t yet approached Transylvania.
A normal army definitely can’t move so casually.
But don’t forget that we’re players, we won’t die and can use return scrolls or even death as a special way to achieve ‘rapid deployment’, everyone in my guild’s save point resurrection point is on the defense line.
So if necessary, we can even act as scouting pioneers for the defense line as well as self-destructing trucks.”
“Ohhh, I see.”
Badger nodded as he took another look at the military map that Happy Stick always carried around in his hand and asked again:
“Then, Stick, you said . Will the Black Plague break through to Transylvania?”
“Hmm?”
This question made Happy Stick look at Badger in surprise, he flashed a smile and said:
“What? Scared?”
“Only dogs are afraid!”
Badger said with a strained neck:
“I’m not afraid, I’m just . How can I put it? We’re small in numbers, even if we were to pull us up to the size of 3,000 before the war started, it wouldn’t make any sense at all compared to the Black Plague’s size of millions. I’m not afraid of fighting a war on the Transylvanian land, but I’m afraid that if we can’t defend ourselves and the Black Plague rushes in, everything we’ve made now will be over.
Scarlet Fortress doesn’t even have a wall!
If this place falls, all those NPCs still celebrating in the square outside will have to die, but they only have one life!
If they die, it’s all gone.
I panicked every time I thought about this outcome, I hadn’t been this attached to anyone in my entire life except for my parents and family and friends. I’m not afraid of being resurrected over and over again in the game, I’m just afraid that we won’t be able to change the big picture even if we are resurrected many times.”
“I understand.”
Stick laughed as he waved his hand and said:
“But fighting a war is not what you think of the two sides set up a position one-on-one to cut each other, most of the time the war is not as romantic as you think, really to the decisive battle when in fact everything has already settled, the decisive battle is just a kind of final confirmation of the results of the ceremony.
Rarely does a war with an early disadvantage turn around in a decisive battle, and history is famous for such a case because the probability of it happening is too low.
Lord Murphy and General Maxim already have a fairly complete strategy, as long as we are perfect in every aspect, the situation you are worried about will not happen.
No matter how many jackals there are, the battlefield is that big, they can’t swing in ah.
With equal consumption in a symmetrical war, 3,000 undead warriors would already be an extremely terrifying advantage, so don’t worry, just listen to the orders and do your job.”
“Uh-huh.”
Badger nodded.
He didn’t know where Stick’s confidence came from, but in this moment, he was willing to trust Happy Stick.
Meanwhile, in a remote place in the city sewers, Orchid was leaning on her own shield expressionlessly looking at the sad Yuan someone in front of her, who had been beaten up by her.
The latter initially tried to resist, but was quickly defeated under the merciless suppression of Orchid, who had already assumed the position of “Nordic Shield Guard” and would eventually become “Nordic Royal Guard”.
“You’ve fought, you’ve gotten angry, so it’s time to give me a chance to talk, right?”
Yuan Someone leaned against this burning bonfire, he twitched his mouth as he applied the potion that Orchid threw over to his wounds:
“I think we should talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
Orchid said with a scowl:
“And I gave you the potion to drink, not to apply.”
“Oh, I’m not skillful in using it for the first time, don’t mind my dirtbag ah.”
Although Yuan someone was beaten up, but it can be seen that he is in a good mood, this guy is actually as clear as a mirror in his heart, if Orchid really does not intend to have any more relationship with him, he will not come out today.
Since people are here, it proves that there is still something to talk about.
“You said the words so absolutely in the beginning. Why are you still running here now?”
After a few minutes of silence, Orchid placed her shield on the ground and sat herself down on it to look at the campfire dancing in front of her as she said in a muffled voice:
“Planning to put on an idol show? Do you think I’m the kind of silly white sweetie that I’ll happily go back with you if you say a couple soft words? You know, after leaving you, I lived a happy life, following the way of life in my heart not having to pay attention to the gossip of others.
The kind of life I once described to you, the kind of near-impossible life that you think floats in the sky without any solidity at all.
I have left my footprints in Lake Baikal, traveled to the jungles of South America to see the unchanging landscapes, met adorable penguins in the Antarctic snowfields, and slept in a Berber tent while crossing the Sahara to listen to the sand blowing under the night.
I’ve had a wonderful time.
It turns out that I’m actually stronger than I thought, and I don’t need someone by my side to travel the world.
So, you go back.
I’m used to being alone, lol.”
“Stop!”
Yuan listened to Orchid tell her story with a patient smile until she was about to say something that would hurt, when he held up his hands in a pause gesture. He said seriously:
“I didn’t come here to beg for your forgiveness, let alone thinking of bringing you back to an ordinary life, Brother Firechild corrected my bad ideas and made me realize that I didn’t actually understand your ideals.
So think of me as a misguided traveler to the Otherworld.
You continue your journey, and I will begin mine.
Maybe one day in the future we’ll meet somewhere on this continent full of unknowns, just like two ships floating in the ocean, as long as they don’t sink there will always be a day when they meet.”
These words made Orchid’s eyes widen.
After several seconds she was dumbfounded, the first time she had smiled since her meeting with Yuan, she stretched her body and got up, putting her Heart of the Mountains shield behind her back.
As she walked towards the exit of the sewer, she waved her hand and said:
“You’ve really changed a lot, the old you couldn’t say such melodramatic words.”
“That’s true.”
Yuan stood up from the campfire and took a drink of the potion in his hand as he wiped his mouth and said:
“I’ve been following a certain great traveler’s private blog for the past few years, learning her wordplay, sharing her colorful life, and striving to be the first to give her a shout-out, I mean
Wait, there’s something wrong with this drug!
Why am I getting dizzy?”
“Because that potion was applied to the wound instead of making you drink it.”
Orchid stopped and glanced behind her at Yuan Someone who was already sitting on the ground and starting to pant, she shrugged and said:
“Can’t even tell the difference between internal and external medicines? You’re still a terrible traveler . I’ve already submitted an application to the Explorer’s Association if you can keep up with me as I travel around the world . I admit, I’ve had very few heartbeats so, this is the last one!
If you leave me behind again .”
“I’ll try to keep up with you to keep myself from falling behind, Grand Traveler.”
Yuan said as he leaned against the fire and caught his breath:
“So, see you at the Explorer’s Guild?”
“Well, I won’t be waiting for you long, come on, rookie.”
—
“The healers are under my protection! Don’t you dare come near!”
Later that evening, in the large fighting arena in the sewers, a heavily armed Murphy dodged through melee blocks with his rapier in hand and killed the group of healers intending to cut the healer first.
But the moment he broke in, the Sanwu Dou who was protecting Lady Water and Belly roared and activated the divine art boundary of the Unbreakable Shield, and in an instant, green streams of light surrounded the three of them as if the Tree Realm had descended to envelop the place into a natural place.
Pure natural spiritual energy mixed with the divinity from Avalon in a burst of power almost pressed Murphy in place and could not move, and was surrounded by green body leaves fluttering Sanwudou grabbed the invincible war hammer, scolding Murphy will be temporarily designated as “nature’s enemy”.
The green hammer swung down and was easily dodged by Murphy, but its accompanying punishment real damage still cut down a section of Murphy’s blood.
He opened his wings and levitated on the chaotic battlefield, staring down at the healing position that was protected by Sanwu Dou, with this bad boundary he couldn’t cut off the healing easily, and the healing power of Lady Water and Belly Belly was enough to ensure that if Murphy couldn’t kill the participants in a second, they would recover their strength in a very short period of time.
“Oops, things are getting troublesome.”
Murphy tried his best to dodge the melee and long-range attacks while doing so.
He realized that the players had really come prepared this time, and the Eagle Eyes spell enchanted by Smoke Sang on each guy, together with the ghoul eyeball trinket of the Blood Rat Gang to enhance hits and the Thorn Clan’s Hunting Serpent Oil, caused his blood bar to slide down fast in the second challenge.
It was true that he wasn’t a blood cow type of boss, it was just that the vampire regeneration made him not that easy to break down either, but if these guys kept up this lethal precision as they were now, then the speed of his own recovery would inevitably not be able to catch up with the speed of his blood drop.
After only two minutes in this opening, he had been taken out of a quarter of his blood, and in front of him, apart from the four unlucky ones that he had taken out with his broken execution, the other thirty-six were running around the battlefield in full gear.
Necessary Evil was banished by Happy Stick as soon as the game opened, and George the Head Wolf was trapped at the edge of the battlefield by a group of hunters assisted by Scorpion Lion.
Reyvono was able to move freely with his flying speed, but a group of vampires led by Vikrama abandoned their own bodies and chased after him with their wings flapping, seemingly sensing Reyvono’s and Murphy’s “damage sharing” mechanism.
Damn it!
Their weakness was discovered by these guys.
“Warriors! Receive the blessing of Archduke Tris!”
Right at this moment, Tris in the stands released her spiritual blessing to the players, and Murphy followed the “script” and unleashed a wide-range, full-screen attack that was known as the “Sublime Chop” by the small players.
After the three-second acceleration and deceleration status was removed, Murphy was quite disappointed when he withdrew his sword.
This time the players obviously came up with a strategy to deal with it, before the big move to raise the blood level to a safe threshold, a wave of full-screen attack almost did not kill a person, but the good news is that, after the full-screen attack after the stagnation of the strengthened players to slow down the reaction speed of a trace, and it is a few seconds of regrouping time by Murphy and return to the material world of the Necessary Evil teamed up to kill six Raiders.
Celestial Realm Acceleration and Astral Realm Retardation could only be used for 15 seconds every six hours, and even if they were released in segments of only a few seconds at a time, it meant that Murphy couldn’t use the bug skills indefinitely.
The small players who managed to survive the full-screen Sublime Decapitation became more and more confident, they didn’t mess up in the slightest, and quickly issued new instructions in the team framework Once again, they dispersed but turned into a whole, coupled with Tris’s reinforcement which was truly amazing, even ten less people made these guys’ offense even more frenzied.
And they learned their lesson this time.
In order to prevent Murphy from using the smart shuttle armed by the rogue Creator, these guys didn’t try to disarm, that is, to prevent Murphy from entering the “second form”.
Such a cunning fight made the vampire lord angry and laugh.
While lamenting that the previous BOSS was not easy, after the battlefield entered the second stage, Murphy also finally moved to the real thing.
Blood Thirst, activated!
The predatory nature that originated from the vampire’s instincts was unleashed in this instant, allowing Murphy to no longer need to use his eyes to see, and could accurately lock on to those players who were the weakest in the room by just relying on his perception.
Under the state of Blood Thirst, Murphy’s already exaggerated speed was once again increased, and his destructive power had finally reached the level of “killing in seconds”.
In this form, the battle damage immediately increased.
But this time, the players still did not mess up, happy stick in the team frame shouted to hold on, as much as possible to figure out the timeline and skill sequence, and hold on until the next round of reinforcement came.
Under their resistance, as Murphy’s blood level was reduced to 50%, Rose Knight Paranor, who had been enjoying the battle from the stands, rose up with a flourish.
With a wave of his cool red cape, this flirtatious knight let his psychic energy diffuse into black midnight roses that fell all over the battlefield like magic.
The spirit energy pulsed, allowing players who came into contact with the rose petals to quickly regain blood and heal their wounds, while at the same time granting them a state called “Fatal Elegance”, which drastically increased their hit rate, attack speed, bludgeon rate, and their life and spirit energy recovery once again.
This was simply killing Murphy!
Luckily, there were only less than ten surviving players left in the third phase, and the battle ended in a few minutes with Murphy slashing through the melee and killing the exhausted Sanwu Doo as a signal of defeat.
The fall of San Wu Dou meant that the two healers were no longer protected, and Murphy was sent back to the stands in a matter of three or two hits with the activation of the “blood recovery”, and the constant chopping back to Murphy’s blood level also returned to the safety line of more than 50%.
Brother Fire had been stunned in the stands.
His own wife on the battlefield dashing battle posture is never before in life “female valkyrie” posture, this weak and resolute, gentle and strong coexistence of the form is like a powerful psychedelic drug, so that the fire ZiGuo in this life for the nth time hopelessly fell into the style of Mrs. water.
“Hey, Murphy, are you okay?”
As Murphy returned to the stands with a murderous aura, Mrs. Shani, who was pretending to be a “good sister” with Tris, couldn’t help but ask:
“I haven’t even strengthened the warriors yet, but you don’t look like you can handle it anymore, when it comes to the final stage of the duel, I’m afraid that you’ll really be sent to eternal silence by your fierce and deadly warriors.”
“Then please be merciful.”
Murphy shrugged, he didn’t care about Shani’s flirting.
It was because he indeed still had his bottom card yet to be exposed.
As he entered the lounge, Murphy gently flicked his hand on the Manifestation Device hanging from his wrist, and in the crisp sound of mechanical activity, a revolving pistol with a rather heavy metal mechanical style appeared in his hand.
This thing specific power how do not know, but selling looks absolutely cool.
Not only were there exposed gears spinning on both sides, there was also a ghostly blue energy arc running through the gun body.
When Murphy raised the gun to aim, the green triangular collimator rotated freely on the sights in front of the viewpoint as his eyes moved, obviously a hanging weapon with the [self aiming] function.
The vampire lord stroked the body protector that he had inherited from 【Data Delete】, after completing the binding and recharging, this thing still had a two-stage transformation that could become a precision assault rifle, but it wouldn’t be able to use that kind of exaggerated form against a small player.
He doesn’t even need to turn the thing into a gun.
Well, the “Stage 3” move is designed to be “Forced Astral Teleportation”, and since he does have a sub-profession as an Astral Summoner, it’s not like he’s bullying his cuties, and Mannis can get ready over there.
If you want to defeat Murphy you’ll have to face the Star Realm Behemoth head on!
Wow, this boss battle design is so great, with Mannis’s exaggerated demigod stance it proves that it’s impossible for players to beat the open Murphy at this stage right, the cautious and life-thirsty vampire lord feels threatened and decisively adopts the wall hanging tactic.
If you are not convinced, go to the GM to complain about him.
Murphy said with a wink:
“However, those cuties must have other plans, but I can’t hear their plans, so have they realized that I’m snooping on their private lives through the arithmetic jewel? Oops, it’s getting really hard to fool ah.”
