Chapter 447 446 Hey, now it’s finally the NPC’s turn to lick us
Chapter 447 446. Hey, now it’s finally the NPC’s turn to lick us - [Additional update 1325]
(Additional update for the "Blue Eyes" brothers [3/5])
The announcement of the event from the mainline NPC Governor Murphy was like a thunderbolt, completely igniting the players' interest and desire in this matter.
In particular, the upcoming Hall of Fame function and its low-key but practical rewards have drawn those manufacturing and administrative players who did not originally intend to participate into this vortex. It can only be said that there is really something hidden in the development team.
They are smart, they really know how to effectively stimulate the passion and desire of players.
Almost on the afternoon of that day, the five collective farms currently governed by players all chose the teams they supported.
After urgent consultations, the two villages of Booty Cove and Lion's Pride finally chose to support the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle regiment, which is currently the strongest and has the greatest chance of winning.
In response to this, Brother Bang couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled.
These two villages are currently the two richest among the five villages, and their support means that Brother Bang does not need to worry about logistical supplies during this major event.
Taipal's novice village naturally supports the Torrent Knights. The first phase of herb cultivation there has already produced results. Although it is not huge, the results of this collective agriculture are still amazing. This makes the southern defense line
Players have received a relatively sufficient supply of potions and scrolls.
The remaining two villages, the Stonemasons Brotherhood Headquarters, which is run by the Brick Guys, and the "Wandering Island", which is run by the Lorewalkers, naturally support their student party brothers.
However, these two villages are the weakest among the five villages, and they can provide the least support.
This made Good Pigeon a little anxious and angry.
But fortunately, the arrival of the powerful Shado-Pan allowed them to regain a quality advantage, and they were well prepared in advance so that they could start their attack on the western front while others were still preparing.
At the same time that the announcement of the event was issued, Ah Yu, Cuckoo Chicken and Meow Shark, who rushed very hard, had already captured the second sentry post occupied by the Skeleton Army.
After the strategic contraction of the Jackal Warlocks, these skeleton armies still at the outposts in the swamp can hardly be called "elite". Under the fierce attack of the vampire players, two outposts were demolished in one day.
It's also expected.
According to the plan of the dog-headed strategist Ah Yu, they will get three sentries and build an advance camp before going offline tonight.
However, just as the student party marched into the swamp with great momentum, Ah Yuan, who was leading the team, suddenly received a message from Hao Pigeon behind him, which made him frown.
"Has Colonel Fraser sent someone here?"
Ah Yu whispered:
"I'll burn incense if these bastards from the Plantagenet Kingdom don't cause any trouble for us. They said they have a camp in the west of the swamp near the Cato area, but it really just started to be built there, right? Many of their soldiers are
It was my first time in the swamp and I couldn’t help at all!
Damn it, compared to us, the other two fronts are starting like crazy."
"No, no, no, Yubao, don't be so frustrated, we still have a hidden support force."
Meow Shark directed his four fat and strong hyena pets to spread out in the swamp to search for possible enemies, and said to Ah Yu:
"Don't forget, we are very close to Hogg's clan, and Hogg knew the situation there very well when he was lurking in Plague Town. We have already raised the reputation of the Blood Claw clan to the level of worship.
Everyone has a war horn.
As long as we have needs, Hogg can even provide jackal warriors to join us directly in the battle."
"They are useless."
Ah Yu shook his head and said:
"The local gnolls are far inferior to the gnolls of the Dark Mountains in terms of physique and strength. It's not like you didn't know what happened in the Smuggler's Wood last time. A dozen barbarians dispersed Hogg's barbarians.
Although the Corps are both called Jackals, they are almost like two different creatures.
If the Bloodclaw Gnolls were to fight, wouldn't it be a recipe for death?
What Hogg can provide here is intelligence support, and at most there is a large supply of war supplies, such as the Command Scepter and so on!
Hogg has a lot of Command Scepters!
Yes!
Why did I ignore this? Oops, it’s really inappropriate!”
Ah Yuan hit him hard on the head. He turned around, grabbed the orb, and sent a message to Che Che who was guarding the sentry he had occupied:
"Cheche, you take Goudan to Smuggler's Grove immediately. The Eight Demonic Masters will be there soon. Use your name to buy some command scepters from Hogg for them. They are all psionicists, let's
They come to the front with scepters!
If we don't kill these wandering skeleton soldiers, how long will we have to kill them?
We use the Scepter of Command to interfere with and control them. Even if we cannot make them defect, we can still drive them away from the war zone.
In this way, our advancement speed will become very fast.
Even when other guilds enter the swamp, we can advance to the vicinity of Plague Town."
"Damn, you are such a clever little kid!"
Cheche retorted loudly over there:
"But if you use the Scepter of Command to drive away these skeletons, you won't be able to kill them. This is opportunistic. Once the war is over, these undead wandering around without being controlled will become our trouble again.
It will still have to be cleaned up by then.”
"We'll talk about the future later! Just tell me, do you want to be eligible for the Hall of Fame?"
Ah Yu spread his wings and flew back while saying:
"Besides, is there any place in Transia suitable for newcomers to level up now? No, no, even the elite ghouls in the city's sewers have almost been killed. The development team will have to find one later
It's a place for novices to level up. Why do you want me to tell you about the fee?
Wouldn't it be nice to break up these mediocre skeleton armies and throw them into the swamp and let them wander around? When new people come in, they can directly go to the swamp to level up and open the map.
Anyway, the black disaster will come soon, it will be good if these skeletons can block it for a minute or two more."
"Awesome, I think you should join the development team. Your ideas are already in the shape of a development team."
Cheche complained and said:
"Okay, I'll go over right away. Let's do it your way first."
"Um."
Ah Yu responded and cut off the communication.
He quickly traveled through the corrupt atmosphere of the swamp and the low jungle, and soon returned to the previously abandoned Jackal stronghold. As a result, he saw several well-equipped pioneer commanders brushing their military boots in the camp.
The originally shiny military boots were stained with mud after entering the swamp, and even the beautiful military uniforms of the Plantagenet soldiers were covered with filth, causing them to fall from proud and gorgeous commanders to slovenly tramps.
It seems that the military reform of the Plantagenet Kingdom is not thorough. In order to let the soldiers see them on the battlefield, these commanders decorated their military uniforms with conspicuous pendants. Damn it, this is not asking for death.
?
That is to say, there are no full-time snipers in this era.
Otherwise, I would really be ecstatic.
When Ah Yuan was complaining and walking over, he heard these low-level officers cursing the damn swamp loudly. The little player looked like a rich playboy and shook his head repeatedly.
I have long heard that this military observation group is composed of the military nobles of the Kingdom of Plantagenet. It sounds like they came to Transia to get gold, but now it turns out that it is indeed the case!
You complain like this even if there is a little mud on your shoes. How can you really encounter a big and ferocious jackal and not be scared to the ground?
What else can you expect them to do?
With such contempt in his heart, Ah Yu quickly walked into the gray tent where Ge Bao was. As soon as he entered, he saw Major Ron arguing with Ge Bao about the situation of the war.
"No! It just doesn't work! Nothing you say will work!"
Ge Bao raised his head and said decisively:
"This is a war for us Transians, and it is not our turn for the soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom to roam freely across our land.
Your mission is to support us! And the support we need now is for you to take your young soldiers and stay in your camp and don't cause any trouble that requires our help!
If you are unhappy with this, you can complain to Governor Murphy and Archon Miriam.
It's useless for you to talk to me here now. I can't get you to join the fight.
I don't have that authority."
After hearing this, Ah Yu knew the reason why Major Ron came here.
It seems that these soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom are not bad, and they dare to actively ask to participate in the battle. They are not a bunch of eggless guys.
But Ge Bao’s answer is also correct.
Unless players like them can no longer stand it, NPCs cannot take the initiative to participate in the battle, which will weaken the players' control over the battle line and affect the subsequent distribution of loot.
Governor Murphy has said that this big event is a stage reserved for brave men from other worlds!
This time, the war is completely led by the players. You NPCs should just go and have some fun.
But Ah Yun, who was shrewd and tactful, rolled his eyes. Ge Bao's decisive refusal was really disrespectful to others. This kind of refutation of other people's face can be said from another angle.
So Ah Yun showed a gentle smile, stepped forward and sat next to Ge Bao and Major Ron, and said:
"I probably know that you and your soldiers are eager to fight, but your Majesty, your camp near the swamp has not been built yet, even if we allow your soldiers to participate in the fierce battle in the swamp.
You see, you don't even have a rear camp. If you are really in trouble, even retreat will be a problem.
And judging from the behavior of the several officers outside the tent, they were not even mentally prepared for the swamp battle.
I mean, you can kick your enemy's head in with muddy boots, so there's no need to wipe them clean, right?
And when you go back, won’t you still have to walk on this muddy road?”
"It's not that we are stupid, it's the military order of the Pioneer Legion."
Major Ron said with a discouraged look:
"The Marshal always requires us to maintain good manners under any circumstances. Of course, I do not deny that we did not expect that our first battlefield in Transia would be a damn swamp."
The young major, who was born into a general, glanced at his muddy boots and complained in despair:
"Fraser is probably going crazy now, he's a germophobe.
However, these are all problems that can be overcome with willpower. What I want to express to you two is that although our camp is still under construction, we do not intend to miss this battle with the Black Disaster Vanguard!
We have learned about the size of the enemy from General Maxim. With all due respect, even if your team is composed entirely of vampires and warlocks, you will still be at a disadvantage when facing them.
You need our help!"
"Our companions are already on their way."
Ah Yuan and Ge Bao looked at each other, and he took over the conversation and said:
"I don't think we will need help from foreign soldiers, but we do have a small number, so we can consider giving you the guard posts we have taken down.
Don't think this job is easy.
Now the swamp is full of skeleton armies awakened by jackals. Although they are not strong individually, they are extremely numerous. Once the outpost is surrounded, it means that you need to hold on there until reinforcements arrive.
Let me tell you the truth, this is a very dangerous job!
And we don’t have a good understanding of your strength. I don’t know what your level is?
I doubt whether you can shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
"Are you doubting the Plantagenet's courage?"
Major Ron was irritated by the pretentious arrogance of the young vampire in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:
"I have long heard that you Transians are a group of brave and fierce people. The only language you understand is fists. So, if we want to win your recognition, do we have to defeat you?"
"Ha, there's no need to be so extreme. I don't think we'll lose in a fist fight."
The bad guy Ge Bao stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said meaningfully:
"But you are right, Transians never fight with cowards! If you want to prove that you and your soldiers are qualified to participate in this swamp battle that is destined to go down in history, then come up with something real.
Let's take a look.
We have now laid down two sentries. You and your soldiers should guard there.
You don’t need to be more careful!
In one night, as long as you can hold on for one night under the siege of the Skeleton Army, we will agree to your request to join the war and hand over to you the important task of ensuring logistics and smooth roads.
How about it?
Major Ron, do you dare to make this bet with us?"
"Two sentries, one night, right?"
The major stood up and said decisively:
"Then let's meet at the front line at dawn tomorrow."
"etc!"
Ah Yu suddenly called out to the major who was about to leave. The latter turned around and saw Ah Yu playing with the calculation orb in his hand, and said to him without raising his head:
"Now you have three sentries to guard!
Just two minutes ago, my brothers laid down the third sentry post, which was deep into the outermost defense line of the Skeleton Army. I must emphasize to you that the pressure on the defense there is extremely high."
"I don't need to know how many enemies there are, just tell me their location!"
Major Ron held the handle of the knife at his waist and said in a deep voice:
"I will prove our courage and strength. At that time, you two arrogant guys will apologize to us in front of everyone! Put aside the grudges between the two countries for the time being. Since we are allies now, then we will
Must get the respect it deserves!
This is the most basic treatment for a soldier."
After saying that, he took the calculation orb that recorded the location and turned around to leave. In the tent where only Ah Yuan and Ge Bao were left, the two student party members laughed so much that their stomachs ached.
"Oops, we used to brush up NPC's favorability, but now it's finally NPC's turn to brush up our favorability, hahahaha."
Ah Yun covered her stomach and laughed:
"This 'prove strength' mission went well. I finally understand the simple joy that those manufacturing players felt when they gave us the mission.
That's how it should be done.
Now it feels great to have NPCs working for us."
"That's right, it's said to be 100% realistic, right? So how can there be any reason to just let players gain favor with NPCs?"
Pigeon Bao snorted and said:
"As Sir Murphy's warriors, we must have our own dignity. Not just any rotten fish or shrimp can interfere with our front.
Hey, want to earn our respect?
Let’s act like a warrior first, these sand sculptures have to wear ceremonial military boots when moving in the swamp.”
——
"Isn't it? Ron! Are you serious?"
Outside the camp of the student party, several junior officers who were close to Major Ron were trudging through the mud, one foot deep and one foot shallow. They looked dumbfounded at the Major whose expression did not change in front of them. These guys were shocked.
Call to:
"How can these Transians be so arrogant? We came to help them on our own initiative, so it's fine if we don't appreciate it, but they actually ask us to prove our strength?
Pooh!
Are these vampires worthy?"
Several junior officers looked angry. Major Ron waited until they finished complaining before speaking:
"We are on the battlefield now, don't call me Ron, call me by my rank! In addition, of course we can stay at the border of the Cato region throughout the whole process and watch the Transians rolling in the mud and have fun, no one
What can this say about us?
But we can also join them and fight the real jackals before the black disaster comes.
I don’t think the marshal sent us here just to travel and get gold, everyone.
I'll tell you what I said today. We are all from military aristocrats. Being sent here means that we all have backgrounds, but none of our backgrounds are that big. Except for Fraser, who is the legitimate son of the family, all of us are either above or above.
If you have an older brother or sister, you may have been confirmed by your family that you cannot inherit the family business.
What I want to say is that this battle is our best chance to get ahead!
If we want to continue the glory of our family and let our family look at us differently, we have to take off our beautiful boots and step into the mud, just like our fathers, wallowing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Only in this way can we win the future we want.
I don’t want to argue with you about how arrogant the Transans are, but the fact is that when I step onto the battlefield, I also don’t want my companions to be a bunch of cowards.”
The major shook his head, took off his luxurious shotgun from his horse, waved his hand and said:
"Those who don't want to go should go back to the camp. I will guard the post with my soldiers and knock down every bastard who comes near me until the Transians willingly lower their arrogant heads in front of my eyes.
This is how I will engage in this war.
I will prove to my enemies and my companions that I did not get here just because of my general father...
I!
I also have my dignity.
In this swamp far away from my hometown, I have to maintain my pitiful dignity, that's all."
