Chapter 246 245 Bloodclaw Clan’s Great Prison Break
Chapter 246 245. Bloodclaw Clan’s Great Prison Break
At night, when little players are most active, a ghostly blood-eating vulture is quietly crossing the land of the Earl of Cadman.
It looks down from a high place, and the night cannot block its ghostly vision at all.
At the end of the line of sight, it could see some figures running wildly in the dark night, as chaotic as frightened beasts, as if they were avoiding something invisible, although there was no dangerous thing following behind them.
This is a group of jackals, there are quite a lot of them, about fifty or sixty, and there are an equal number of kobolds following them. This is obviously a tribe that is migrating quickly.
The gnoll chief riding a hyena led his people all the way west from the Barony of Lim, and his destination was already clear.
"Another gnoll clan is migrating to the Under Armor Hills. This is the fourth one observed tonight."
In the office of the Blood Eagle Corridor, Murphy, who was checking the documents sent by Miriam, switched to Reifno's perspective. He was not surprised at all by the scene happening in front of him.
Although the jackals are barbaric, they also have their own loose social system and news channels.
The official large-scale operations of Scarlet Castle in the Baron of Darkness and the hunting of witch hunters in the Baron of Moreland cannot be hidden from these guys. Although their brains are not as big as walnuts, some keen leaders have also realized that the danger is coming.
In addition, the warlord Ken Porter of the Under Armor Hills is still sending envoys to the Gnoll clans in other places. Considering these two factors, it is not surprising that more and more Gnolls are fleeing to the Great Beast Den.
.
In the minds of these savage creatures, becoming a member of the Great Beast Den seems to mean that they no longer have to fear those ferocious predators that seem to appear overnight.
This is also where Murphy hopes to see things go.
There are too many gnolls roaming the land of Transia. Although the players act very decisively, coldly and quickly, if they are allowed to eradicate one stronghold one by one, they want to end this bandit suppression operation within 30-40 days.
Hope cannot be realized.
He needs a chance!
An opportunity that can completely break the spirit of the jackals on this land, causing them to flee when they see humans.
Murphy does not expect to kill all the gnolls. He only needs the number of gnolls in Transia to be reduced to a certain limit. In this way, the gnolls who fled to the surrounding areas can also increase the strength of the surrounding "neighbors".
Let them truly feel the threat of "the coming black disaster".
By the way, I would like to remind them so that they can be more generous when aiding Transia.
This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone.
If you take into account troop training and the level improvement of small players, then this is killing four birds with one stone.
Of course, if he wants to realize Murphy's plan, he can't just wait for the opportunity to come. He knows that he must take the initiative to promote factors that are beneficial to him.
"Adele, come to me."
The vampire lord called out to the blood connection between the elder and his heir, and soon Mrs. Adele opened the door and walked in, with her hands folded on her abdomen, waiting for the master's instructions.
"How's the situation over there at Hogg?"
He raised his head and asked.
"The jackal has exchanged 15 gladiators from Dorothy in the past seven days. It has instilled the concept of 'rescuing the compatriots' into its members and asked them to follow it to continuously clean up the ghouls near the third floor of the sewer.
.
As of this morning, according to Dorothy's report, this jackal commando team has killed hundreds of ghouls with the help of incendiary materials provided by the Blood Rat Gang."
Adele reports like the best intelligence officer she can be:
"In terms of results alone, this is already very good, but compared with the killing efficiency of your warriors, they are still far behind. After all, no matter how savage the gnolls are, they will still have the fear of injury and death, and they also need to rest and recover from their injuries.
.
These severely slow down their combat efficiency.
However, according to the secret observations of several of my subordinates, although Hogg is thin and small, his cunning and wisdom are definitely top-notch among the jackals.
It manages its clan very well and knows how to proactively learn from the structure and action mode of the Blood Rat Gang. They are trying to carry out actions like assassins.
Decisive, quick and destructive, he can kill with one strike and never hesitate to fight."
"It seems you think highly of it."
A smile appeared on Murphy's handsome face. He played with the broken pocket watch in his hand and said:
"My spirit vulture told me that many gnoll clans in Baron Lim have heard the news, and they have begun to flee and move towards the Under Armor Hills.
This is a great opportunity!
You might be able to start the plan we've already made.
The key point is that Hogg and his tribe must be allowed to escape from the Scarlet Castle in a reasonable and unexpected way. At least they cannot escape in a swaggering manner under the attention of a group of vampires. Otherwise, let alone other jackals, even
Hogg's people themselves would not believe it.
Although jackals are stupid, they still have brains."
"You don't have to worry about this, Master."
Adele took out a hand-drawn map from her sleeve and placed it in front of Murphy. She pointed to the crooked terrain of the three-story sewer drawn on the map and said:
"Dorothy said she heard from Zweig that there is a hidden waterway in the underground cave that can lead directly to a hidden underground cave in the upper reaches of the Cadman River. Professor Chen also confirmed it with his own knowledge
Knowing this, the new recruits from the Blood Rat Gang have been searching there for the past few days, and they actually found him.
I sent Dana, the most aquatic among my offspring, to walk through it herself.
She reported that she only had to hold her breath and swim forward along the current of the underground river for a few minutes, and then she could enter the narrow underground waterway and the whole journey would be smooth.
Its final exit is at the river bend near the Barony of Lim and the Undermar Hills. There used to be a village there but it has been abandoned due to the war. They can complete a wonderful escape by taking this road.
Of course, after they leave, I will blow up this road as soon as possible."
"Why blow it up? Such a good secret passage that is convenient for infiltration and sabotage must be kept."
Murphy shook his head.
He looked at the terrain map with great interest, thought for a moment and said:
"A small pier can be built at this outlet bend.
The Cadman River has a large flow of water. We can use this to develop the transportation industry. Going upstream can reach the Cavhoka Great Plains, and going down the river can directly enter Sulpers Lake in the Cato area. This river
It does require a few docks.
After it is completed, leave it to the Blood Rat Gang to manage.
But I guess before that, this secret passage might be used for other purposes.
Also, can you still have an heir for the first time?"
Murphy asked.
Although his administrator system only gave him three first-time champions at the Black Iron level, as far as he knew, NPC vampires did not have such restrictions. As long as they could hold on, they could start first-timers even at the professional level.
Have many people.
Of course, due to the influence of both sides of the blood contract, when vampires are not strong, it is often not a good thing to abuse the blood contract and cause too many heirs.
"My power is best coordinated at this stage by having three heirs, but I understand what you mean."
Adele nodded and said:
"I will give Dorothy an 'explanation'."
"Sorry for the trouble."
Murphy said something, but Adele didn't respond in particular.
Apparently she doesn't see this as a burden.
As an intelligence director, she could see the huge potential of the Blood Rat Gang, a small group of lowlifes.
It is not an exception for major forces to use thieves and thieves to collect intelligence. Even if they love peace as halflings, the relationship between the Council of Steam Lords and the Thieves Guild that walks in the darkness is quite ambiguous.
Adele knows very well that Murphy needs such a force.
What's more, even by the most picky standards, "Razor" Dorothy is indeed an excellent heir candidate in all aspects.
If she is blessed by Midnight, she will definitely become a deadly sword in the darkness, thereby better serving Lord Murphy and the Blood Vulture Clan.
——
Tonight is another day for the "Grand Fight" of Fight Club.
After being taken over by the Blood Rat Gang, this place that had been neglected opened every night. Especially after the camp's curfew was lifted, the Sewer Entrance No. 7 became the best pastime for workers and residents after a busy day.
.
The Blood Rat Gang, who are good at business, even set up a tavern here so that customers can relieve their alcohol addiction while watching exciting gladiatorial battles.
To be honest, at present, the few people under Lord Murphy's command cannot mess around, and the spending power of Transia is not very strong, and the residents don't have any money. Otherwise, with Dorothy's shrewdness, she will definitely be a dancer or something.
It has already been arranged.
As the saying goes, there will be a lot of sex and good fortune, and Ms. Razor's goal is obviously to build the Fight Club into a "golden cave" in the Scarlet Castle in the future.
But tonight's "big fight" is different from the usual small fights.
After consulting Maxim, the real manager of Fight Club, Dorothy adjusted the player participation from three times a week to twice a week, but the intensity and scale of the battles were directly filled up. From the original "stimulating"
"It directly evolved to the level of "bloody".
For players, especially those who are new to the game, coming to Fight Club to compete is also a very good choice. Not only can you improve your skill proficiency, but you can also spend money to win by yourself and earn a little extra money.
The Blood Rat Gang has also adjusted the positioning of players in the arena.
Now, as long as you spend money to purchase a ticket from the Blood Rat Gang and register as a gladiator, there are quite a lot of battle modes that players can choose from.
There are not only ordinary matches where one person fights monsters, but also elite matches specially prepared for the Black Iron Trial, as well as the "Honorary Three-person Team Battle" in which reserve knights of the Blood Alliance Knights will participate.
As well as the "PVP" mode between players that not many people play currently.
There are many kinds of tricks, and because of the ferocious nature of the players who are not afraid of death, the spectacle of the grand gladiatorial fights held every three days is much better than ordinary gladiatorial fights.
The audience will naturally buy it if they enjoy watching it. In addition, during the big fight, the bets are temporarily allowed to be doubled, which will naturally attract many gambling dogs to come and gamble their luck.
The young players have already started gearing up in the gladiatorial preparation area and are still exchanging battle experiences with each other.
Among the 17 young players who signed up for the competition tonight, except for the three fighting enthusiasts, Brother Cat, Sister Pomegranate and Niu Niu, who came to set the "winning streak", the other 14 people all wanted to participate in the Black Iron Trial.
Refined.
They asked Brother Mao and Sister Pomegranate for their experience, and they were willing to share their guidance.
But no matter how well prepared you are, a few unreliable ones will probably die tonight. After all, not everyone is good at fighting, and the difficulty of challenging elites is a completely different concept in the eyes of ordinary players and experts.
However, this is the wanton and wild life of players, and death is just a small fun embellishment.
"Why is that witch hunter here too?"
In the preparation area, Sister Pomegranate glanced at the auditorium, and not surprisingly saw Miss Anbo sitting in the crowd, grabbing a grilled rat skewer and looking around.
She turned back to her brother very unhappy and said:
"The relationship between you and her seems to be getting closer and closer. I'm asking you to gain favor, not to do these weird things in the game!
how?
Do you also like Paper Man Wife?"
"Where did you go?"
The tall Niu Niu retorted with an unconvinced look:
"Can't I make friends in the game? Don't you and Lumina often play with those little beans in the camp? The NPCs in this game are so smart. Making friends with them is no different from reality.
Isn’t it?”
"Are you pretending to be stupid or do you really not know?"
Sister Pomegranate put her hands on her hips and said:
"Give me some snacks! Niu Niu, I don't want to see you become an 'electronic waste' and find a girlfriend after graduation. It's really impossible to go on a blind date."
"Oh my, you're so annoying. I've never seen you nagging like this before."
Niu Niu was very annoyed, but when he saw Brother Cat across from him, he suddenly rolled his eyes, laughed a few times, and said to the elder sister:
"Tell me, why did our route to visit my uncle suddenly change in a few days? Why do we have to go to the southwest? Who are we going to meet? Do we want to prepare some cosmetics for you?
After all, when meeting netizens, you have to dress up. I'm not telling you, your family is almost anxious about you, and they are all planning a blind date for you.
I guess they don’t have to worry anymore.”
"you shut up!"
Sister Pomegranate kicked Niu Niu angrily and turned around to leave. Although Niu Niu was kicked, she finally got the peace she wanted.
He snorted, moved his body and waved to An Bo in the audience, who also returned the cheering gesture. But while they were preparing, there was a gloomy look in the preparation area of another player.
.
The gnoll gladiators staying here at this time all know the tragedy of the great gladiator three days ago.
Only 3 of the 15 gnoll gladiators sent there survived. The warriors under Vampire Murphy were so ferocious that even these elite gnolls felt fear.
I don’t know how many of these guys will survive today?
Just when they were most agitated, a small figure wearing a hood quietly emerged from the shadows. Hogg was still in his classic dress with his head hidden and his tail exposed. He made a strange voice and said to the jackal gladiators in front of him:
"What are you thinking about? Tonight is the last chance. Last time, 13 of our compatriots died. Those were the most elite and powerful among the Transian Jackals. I guess you may not survive tonight.
Come down.
So, do you want to follow me and escape from here?
Give me a happy word!"
"You're just a vampire's bastard! Get out of here."
A sturdy Gnoll barbarian roared and wanted to rush forward to fight Hogg, but was pinned down by several other Gnolls.
This guy had terrible wounds on his body, and he was one of the three gnoll gladiators who survived three days ago.
It hated these vampires, but it hated the guy in front of it even more.
"You bitch, you can come and go freely in the Blood Rat Gang's territory, you must have knelt at the feet of vampire Murphy and kissed his toes.
You are a disgrace to our clan!"
The barbarian soldier cursed loudly, but the other jackals did not respond.
After these days of settling, Hogg ignored this ridiculous taunt, and it let out the weird laughter of a jackal in the shadows.
it says:
"Whatever you say, but it is a fact that I have saved many people! I just ask you if you want to live? My tribe and I have tried our best to save your lives. The best thing is that we are hunting for food.
In the process of killing the corpse, I found a small path to escape.
I won’t lie to you, this is destined to be a narrow escape!
But if you still want to go back to the wilderness and be free, instead of being treated like dogs and being killed here for fun, you should think more about it yourself.
I will only wait for ten hourglasses of time for you on the third floor underground!
If you don't come by midnight, I will take my people and run away by myself. King Kenbot is gathering an army in the Under Armor Hills. I will go back there. Then I will lead the army back to kill all these vampires.
Bite to death!"
After saying that, Hogg didn't say much, retreated and disappeared into the shadows.
It is small and thin, and its psychic talent is quite average, but its perception and use of shadows have improved rapidly under Dorothy's training.
Now he is a qualified jackal thief and assassin.
Hogg moved forward silently in the shadows, and soon came to Dorothy's tent, where he saw the disheveled Ms. Dorothy kneeling on the ground with her face covered.
In front of the leader of the Blood Rat Gang, Mrs. Adele was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief gracefully.
A first love affair has just been completed.
Judging from the postures of the two of them, Dorothy resisted, but unfortunately, her resistance was of no use.
This scene made Hogg's hair stand on end.
It is the wisest among the gnolls.
It knew that this scene was deliberately shown by the vampire in front of it, making it realize that the Blood Rat Gang supporting it was just a plaything in front of the Blood Vulture Clan.
"Are you ready?"
There was a hint of weakness in Adele's voice.
Just as Murphy gave her the essence of blood, she also infused Dorothy with the true blessing of midnight.
She looked at Hogg, who was nodding wildly and trying to be well-behaved, and said softly:
"Very good, you can start. In order to keep this operation a secret, Master Murphy gave you a code name. From tonight until the end of Kenport, you must remember that your name is 'Pangolin'."
