Chapter 445 444 The combination of vertical and horizontal and intrigue is 'Blue'
Chapter 445 444. Cooperation and intrigue - additional update for the "Blue Eyes" brothers [1125]
At the same time that the "Report on the Situation in the Filthy Swamp" was posted to the forum, several forces under Murphy's command related to the Filthy Swamp incident began to engage in frequent activities.
Needless to say about Hogg, the Smuggler's Grove where it is located is the force most closely connected with the Filthy Swamp.
After Chief Bloodclaw made his last fortune from Plague Town, he completely cut off contact with that place. He has also begun to sell all the information he collected about the swamp at a very low price, almost half selling and half giving away.
The price was shared with the student parties who have been active nearby for a long time.
Speaking of which, the student party is lucky this time.
When they captured Bella, the Corpse Witch, they were sure that there must be a big plot hidden in the Filthy Swamp, so they decided to use Smuggler's Wood as the temporary base camp of their "Scarlet Beast Group" guild. Now that the plot here has come out, these
The brave students became the first player force under Transia to step into the swamp.
They have been preparing for this plot before. They no longer rely solely on luck, but rely on the experiences they have learned during this period. During this period, they continue to collect the materials needed for long-term activities in the swamp.
There were even more than a dozen boxes of alchemical potions to prevent mosquito bites, and when they decided to take action, all the guys in the student party who had the psionicist profession, no matter their level or rank, had at least a command staff on them.
As the leader of the student party, Dage took the lead and achieved the first "Friends of Blood Claw" achievement in the game.
As the first person to raise the Bloodclaw clan's reputation to admiration, Hao GeGe received a gift from Chief Hogg and successfully rode the cool skeleton war horse that Lord Murphy had ridden.
The other backbones of the team have also been replaced by majestic wargs to ensure their traveling speed in the swamp.
While other teams were still preparing to advance, the student party had already arrived at the advance post belonging to the Bloodclaw clan in the Foul Swamp according to the map hand-drawn by Hogg.
Of course, in name, they were the vampire pioneers who drove away the weak Bloodclaw Gnolls and successfully occupied the Gnoll outpost. After all, although everyone in the player camp knew that Hogg had been used as a dog to Lord Murphy, even Jin
Colonel Fraser of the Sparrow Kingdom knew this, but he still had to put on a superficial disguise.
If there is news that vampires and jackals are making peace when the Black Disaster is about to break out, it will definitely cast an undue shadow on the currently stable and improving situation in Transia.
Of course, although the student party moves quickly, this does not mean that they have a guaranteed advantage, because the situation in the "new map" of Filthy Swamp is different from all the areas that players have visited before.
It's just too big!
The entire Filthy Swamp is located in the middle of Transia and the Dark Mountains. Counting the small unknown area of the swamp forbidden area, the currently proven area is equivalent to the entire Transia and a little larger, even if it is only the area near Plague Town.
The undead activity area is equivalent to the entire Dark Barony.
Such a large swamp plays an important role in the ecosystem of the entire continent.
The Church of Avalon's claim that once the foul swamp is contaminated by the power of Hades will have a devastating impact on the ecology of the entire continent is not promoting fear. This is the same conclusion reached by several master witch hunters in the church after repeated discussions.
Avalon will not sit back and watch the filthy swamps be occupied by nature's enemies, which means the beginning of an ecological disaster.
"Isn't this too difficult?"
On the tower of the gnoll sentry that was deserted but still intact, Good Pigeon looked at the hinterland of the swamp ahead that exuded a strange smell and a misty green atmosphere with a sad look on his face.
Visible to the naked eye, there were undead wandering back and forth in the muddy ground in the distance. He leaned on his psionicist staff and complained to Ah Yun beside him:
"Although Hogg told me before we set off that we must not divide our troops, it wasn't until I actually saw the situation that I realized that the hidden line laid by the development team was too big! This is simply not something that our guild can handle.
.
Our previous simple idea of attacking Huanglong now seems a bit too naive, we still need to find someone to cooperate, otherwise we will not even be able to get close to the outer defense line of the Jackals, let alone attack Plague Town."
"Have you ever seen a new map update for a game that can be defeated by a player guild? Probably no one except you thought that we could push this place.
Peace of mind!
We just need to maintain our advantage over other guilds."
Ah Yuan was as good as a general as before. While comforting the anxious Good Pigeon, he opened the swamp map he got from Hogg.
This is a "high-end product" they bought after they raised the reputation of the Blood Claw clan to Exalted. Hogg marked all the information it detected on it. As long as they follow the map, the student party can avoid most of them.
Trouble can arise in the swamp.
The terrain of this swamp is quite complex.
There are forks in many places and even "death quagmires" that are indistinguishable to the naked eye. They are just like sand pits. If you fall into them by mistake, you won't be able to climb out again.
"Judging from Hogg's private map, there are three directions to attack the Plague Town terrain. They are guarded by different forces under the command of the gnoll warlocks. We must choose one."
Ah Yuan said to the good pigeon:
"We don't have enough manpower to attack all lines of defense at the same time. I guess this is also the idea of the development team. In such a large and complex new map, players who want to participate in the main plot of attacking Plague Town must first choose
A line of attack.
There is also the battle report posted by Fa Ge on the forum.
In addition to Lord Murphy, a total of eight forces will appear in this major plot. I estimate that there will be at least one force in each attack route that can choose to contact and obtain assistance.
According to the general game process, we must carry out in-depth cooperation with the forces we choose to advance the plots on the three lines simultaneously."
"Um."
Good Pigeon nodded and said:
"So, the most perfect situation is to push the situation to the most favorable situation for us with the joint assistance of our respective supporting forces, and then let us players attack Plague Town in one go and eliminate those gnoll warlocks?"
"Theoretically, this is the case, but since there are three fronts, there must be speed and slowness. According to the intelligence of the NPCs in this game, if they also participated in the siege of Plague Town, then the loot afterwards would definitely be divided.
Give them a copy.
If all eight prestige forces are involved, then even if we capture Plague Town, the benefits we can harvest from it will have been divided to the most basic level."
Ah Yuan put away the map, thought about it and said:
“So I think this is actually a hidden ‘challenge mode’!
Although the development team did not say it clearly, they must have set up this plan, that is, players on a certain front advance rapidly and attack Plague Town faster than the other two fronts, and do not rely on the leadership of NPCs to complete the attack on the Plague Clan alone.
destruction.
The difficulty of doing this will definitely be astonishing, but if we really do it, the rewards we can get will definitely be astonishing.
The size of at least one player’s stronghold is definitely there!”
"Oooh, ooh, I understand, I understand."
Hao Gege suddenly understood, and he concluded:
"It's the progressive BUFF mechanism of Icecrown Citadel, the full-state Hakkar and the zero-light challenge of Yogg-Saron. This development team can really come up with something new every time. But according to the current strength of the players
, it is basically impossible to accomplish this without the participation and help of NPCs throughout the process.
Even if we bring all the player guilds together, we definitely won’t be able to handle it.”
"Hey, we still have too few people, and we are still too weak! It's all because the development team is unwilling to recruit people on a large scale."
Ah Yun hammered the railing very unhappily. He stared in the direction of Plague Town and said:
"We currently have less than 200 Black Iron warriors at full capacity. If we have 500 Black Iron players, we can get through it. But in any case, if we want to maintain the highest income, we must try to avoid large-scale participation of NPCs.
In the Plague Town strategy strategy.
You have to go to the forum to communicate with the presidents of several other guilds. Although everyone is in a competitive relationship, we still need to reach a consensus on certain key things before we can act.
In addition, the ownership rights of the three fronts must be agreed in advance!
In the previous two group copies, everyone participated together, so in the end, the equipment and benefits had to be equally divided. Although there is nothing wrong with sharing equally, wouldn't it be wonderful if you could do it yourself?
This time it will be a dungeon strategy battle!
Each guild takes turns!
In the end, if we really can’t win it, let’s talk about how we can unite together.”
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Good Pigeon immediately grabbed the communication orb and logged into the forum, while Ah Yu spread his wings and flew down the sentry tower, relaying his thoughts to his companions who were preparing below.
Of course, the guys in the same dormitory have no objection. They are all veteran players who have long been eager to make a career, and the student party who are new to the game are also eager to try and gear up. The honest dog who just passed the Black Iron Trial last week
Dan also suggested:
"Now that our Scarlet Beast Regiment has reached Level 2 and has the authority to recruit independently, I don't think the scale of this event will be over for a while, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to engage in a 'big training'!
Four wanderers and I will recruit alumni offline and let them take advantage of this new plot to enter the game and practice. I estimate that this will be the last big event before the black disaster comes. It will be fine if they come in and practice well.
Let us shine in the dark disaster and add glory to us."
"OK!"
Ah Yun nodded, and the shrimp catcher next to him who was carrying a big ax also raised his hand and said:
"How many people can we find in our school alone?
Now is a war, and we need good brothers who can fight online. So, after I log off tonight, I will go to the sports school in the university town. I also have a few good brothers there, and they train every day and are full of energy.
I am so full that I almost bray like a donkey.
I asked the backbone of their student union to gather together and bring in a group of strength-based animals to build up the momentum.
The people at the sports school are truly ‘good soldiers’, and they are top-notch members of the party.”
"Um."
Ah Yuan thought this was a good idea. At this time, Che Che, who was sitting cross-legged and recording today's spell book, held his command staff and shook his head and said:
"We still have to select the best from the best. Even if we reach the second-level guild, the number of places we can allocate each week is only a dozen or twenty. We have to hold a 'competition competition' offline! We want those who can work as soon as they come in.
people, otherwise the lead we have finally gained will be spent on training new people.
It just so happens that the ‘Great Love Sage’ Niu Niu can’t go online these days? Let him go to the sports school to ‘kick gym’ and create a group of new troops for us.”
"Okay, okay, this is a good idea!"
Nige Luda oil and Kachitoni were so mouthy that they almost laughed out loud.
They thought the idea of a car was great, but after thinking about it together with the electronic snail, they came up with another idea:
"Not only offline, but also online. Since this is a guild war, not only a few big guilds, but small guilds must also participate. We can't all occupy one front, so we have to advance in advance.
Winning over small guilds and individual people who have good relations with us will form a united front.
Needless to say, the Stonemason Brotherhood that the Lorewalkers belong to is our own brother, and I think the ‘Eight Demonic Masters’ can also be brought in!
Isn’t Brother Goudan their colleague?
You go and walk around.
Their evil path is destined to make them unable to cooperate well with Brother Meow Meow's witch hunters and Brother Bang's army, but we are vampires.
Natural midnight creatures are the perfect match for these warlocks."
"Hmm, those eight funny guys are actually quite interesting. I think they will definitely not refuse. In addition to them, the Shado-Pan can also cooperate. Don't we have several members among them?"
Honest Goudan chuckled and pulled down his hood, then raised the Reaper of Souls in his hand. Four elite skeleton troops beside him immediately stood up to guard him.
Hey, what I want is this evil style.
"Yes, the Shado-Pan are also trying to win over us. I heard that Brother Cat and Uncle Yang have an exclusive mission in the swamp. I think they won't refuse to cooperate with us."
The plan has been decided and now all that remains is to execute it. Ah Yun and his good brother Gugu Chicken went into the swamp first to find out the situation on the front.
His heart was full of fire. As young people, it would be a shame to not be arrogant in this great time. They must do a good job this time and show the people in society the true strength of the "Future Flower of the Motherland".

While the student party was taking action, other guilds were not idle either.
They did not focus on Hogg's Smuggler's Grove, which caused them to fall behind at the beginning of this major event. However, it seems that this backwardness is still within an acceptable range.
After all, the development team has not officially announced the specific content of this major event, so there may be surprises waiting later.
A momentary lag doesn't mean anything.
In this 100% realistic world, walking fast is not an advantage; walking steadily and reaching the end smoothly is success.
Not only the student parties have realized the necessity of guild cooperation, Happy Stick has also wanted to unite its "traditional allies" from the beginning. However, this time there have been some subtle twists and turns in the situation.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'competing' this time? Do you have other partners outside?"
In the military camp next to the trench in the Dark Barony, Brother Bang, who had just finished sucking blood from Melia and was still weak, stared at Brother Mew Miao who was sitting opposite him with wide eyes. The latter drank tea and said in a long voice:
"That's what it means literally. Our Big Bird Group will not cooperate with you this time. We plan to go it alone. The information that Pigeon Bao just shared on the forum is very interesting. If it is to be divided into three fronts in the future, I will do it this time.
Plan to 'contract' one of them.
Brother Bang, your guild is currently the number one guild in Transia. It can handle a front alone without a few people like us.
I won’t join in the fun with you.”
"Depend on!"
Brother Bang was not angry.
He had known Brother Mingmiao for more than a day or two. He knew that this guy was ambitious, but he stared at Brother Mingmiao and said:
"There are only a few of you? It would be a bit too much to eat a line alone. Have you joined forces with other guilds?"
"Well, Mrs. Shui has reached an agreement with me on behalf of the Silver Moon Regiment. We will jointly win a front."
Brother Miao Miao did not hide anything, he said:
"The map of the Filthy Swamp is too big. I consulted Sister Marianne on the way here. She told me that although the Filth Swamp is not the preferred terrain of the natural power, the swamp power is also a branch of natural spiritual energy. Warriors of the Church of Avalon
They can get some natural reinforcement in it.
And there is something in that swamp that is of great benefit to our natural paths.
Mrs. Water speculates that once we capture Plague Town, it will become a permanent unit similar to a stronghold.
At present, Governor Murphy still has one stronghold that has not been decentralized. Mrs. Shui and I have the same opinion. Plague Town is most likely the third stronghold. We cannot give up such a huge benefit. This is not just about years of friendship.
It’s time, A Bang.”
"But even if you unite, your numbers are still insufficient!"
Happy Stick frowned and said:
"Unless you recruit NPCs, but that means you have to divide a part of the loot, unless wait! The Torrent Knights also stand with you?"
"Ha, you are really smart."
Brother Miao Miao grinned and said:
"The knights of Taipar have a quantitative advantage, and we and the Silver Moon Group have a quality advantage. Cooperation between the three parties can maximize the benefits, so Brother Bang, next we will be competitors.
Let's see who is more powerful!
Let's see who can be the first to plant his flag on the high tower of Plague Town!
I have a hunch that NPCs won’t be too involved in this big event. This is a stage reserved for us by the development team! Now it’s up to us exotic warriors to perform a victory dance for Transia.”
