Chapter 326 325. Everyone’s Determination-Additional update for the “starsfalling” brothers【115】
"Old Edward sent a faction composed entirely of blood vulture traitors to ambush the Capetian family's transport convoy at the Transian border? How could this ancient man always do such unexpected bad things?
Can the authenticity of this news be confirmed?”
Murphy quickly got the news about what happened at the border from Femis's report. He was personally not surprised by this. After all, the grudge between Blood Vulture and Wolfsbane meant that it was not surprising that the two sides would do anything to each other.
He just wondered why old Edward would make such a choice at this time?
The ancient patriarch had clearly maintained a superficial peace with the Blood Eagle clan just now under the coordination of Lord Paying. Was he deliberately provoking Lord Paying?
"This is information I dug out from the head of the vanguard captain of the Wolf Vulture faction using some 'secret techniques' I learned from the torturers of the Blood Alliance Knights. This is information that cannot be forged unless they have it in that guy's mind in advance.
False information was planted.”
Femis replied very definitely:
"But it is still doubtful whether it was the direct order of old Edward. I personally doubt that this was a 'lone walk' like the previous actions of the Gray Claw faction. And the leader was Lady Cecilia, who had just led the traitors into the Wolfsbane clan.
.
Yes, that’s my crazy mother.”
"All right."
Murphy played with the core orb.
Although Femis didn't say it explicitly, he could already understand that Femis wanted to obtain some kind of "authority" from him in reporting this matter.
As far as the matter itself is concerned, it is certainly impossible for Murphy to let it go. Not to mention the terms of cooperation reached between the Cape family and Scarlet Fort through Major Fraser, the production lines transported by this transport team alone are something that Murphy cannot give up.
important resources.
The site selection for the Transian National First Arsenal has been completed, and now we are waiting for the production line to be put in place to start producing weapons for Murphy's army.
This is the most important matter related to the prevention of black disaster, so this transportation team must save!
But Femis now means that she wants to take the lead in this matter, which makes Murphy hesitate.
He did not doubt the eldest lady's determination.
He was just worried that the eldest lady would be "tempted" by her mother, who was definitely in the arms of Dusk. If Lord Paying was so cautious when facing Dusk-related matters, then Murphy felt that he had reason to be more cautious.
Be more cautious.
"I guess, even if I ask you to come back now, you won't agree, right?"
Murphy asked.
There was no reply from the eldest lady in the orb for a long time, and this silence had already announced her determination, so Murphy did not try to persuade her any more. He stretched out his finger to draw circles on the table and said in a gentle tone:
"I will ask Kudel and his followers to come to your aid. In addition, it happened on the border of Xi Ke territory, so the Valander Knights and his hussars also have enough reasons to participate. I can put this
I'll leave it to you, Femis.
But I have a request."
"you say."
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, she asked, and then she heard Murphy say to her:
"You can't track down that 'Lady Cecilia' alone. This is not a request but an order! In fact, I now very much suspect that there may be a purpose in the advancement of this matter that is just to help you and your mother."
's reunion.
I have nothing to hide from you about your father.
I have enough reasons to believe that your mother has gone crazy. No, what she has done has gone beyond the category of 'madness', and the source of all she has done is to snatch you back from Sarokdar.
You need to understand the possible risks of this.
No one knows what kind of 'gift' your mother got from Dusk, and I can't let my friends and important family members step into the trap alone.
Kudel must act with you!
If you violate this rule, I will not give you any privileges in matters related to your mother in the future, or even let you participate in it."
"I agree and totally understand."
The eldest lady did not insist further on the restrictions Murphy gave her.
She simply agreed to Murphy's request, and then informed Murphy of the location and information about the Wolfsbane Clan's ambush.
The vampire lord recorded this information, then hung up the communication and tried to contact Major Fraser after a brief thought, but was unable to get through. Probably because the communication distance was too far and exceeded the communication limit of the computing orb, which made Murphy
I had to shift the communication partner to another guy I disliked very much.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the vibration of the core orb represented the completion of the communication connection, and the rather dissatisfied voice of the semi-dwarf marshal sounded from it, with a hint of scolding:
"I'm very busy! Sissy Murphy, if you contact me just for something ridiculous, I will immediately delete your communication permissions from me.
Therefore, you still have a chance to apologize."
"I don't feel like I should apologize for that, so something is going to happen that's going to make you look bad."
Murphy didn't want to quarrel with this stubborn and petty dwarf marshal, so he directly informed the Wolfsbane clan of the ambush on the Capet family transport team.
He said:
"Although this ambush will occur in Transia and I have been prepared for it, should the Marshal review your previous commitment? You said that all actions related to the Wolfsbane Clan in your defense zone will be carried out by
It's up to you to deal with it, but that's not what I saw with my own eyes.
While I dealt with the threat of the Gray Claw faction neatly and swiftly, you allowed a group of Wolfsbane pups to cause friction on the border between the two sides.
I did what I promised, but you made a mistake.
Therefore, can I understand that your control over the situation in East Prussia is beyond your ability? Or maybe the actual ability of Marshal ‘Steel Heart’, whose reputation has spread throughout the continent, is no more than this?
If this is the case, then I don't mind sending my warriors to help you get rid of those clowns who should not exist in the preparation period for the war.
After all, since everyone is about to fight side by side against the Black Disaster, Scarlet Castle has the obligation to provide assistance to the backward forces.
So, the question is, do you and your legion really need my help?"
"So, you contacted me tonight just to humiliate me?"
Marshal Loren said quite unhappily:
"Why do you think those Wolfsbane brats entered Transia through my defense zone? Your place is leaky from all sides, and they have many ways to sneak in. There is no problem with my defense zone! Boy.
You’ve said everything you need to say, now tell me, what exactly do you want me to do for you?”
"We were able to defeat the ambushers, but we didn't have enough power to surround them, and to be honest, I'm tired of having a bunch of blind wolfsbane bastards jumping around my territory when I'm so busy.
go.
I think you are probably the same."
Murphy whispered:
"I just want to invite you to join the hunt tomorrow night. I mean, since they are here, don't leave. It is said that the friendship of men who have hunted together will always be stronger, so I am also very happy.
Hope to maintain a good personal relationship with you.
In addition, I would like to ask again about when can the armed blood servants seized in your hands be returned?
I’m really short of manpower right now.”
"Within a month, it would have been sent long ago, but my general suggested that I allocate an extra batch of military supplies to you, so the time was delayed. But the good news is that you will soon have a small-scale artillery force."
Marshal Loren gave a definite time and said:
"Those guys will enter Transia with the 'military observation group' we sent. Just like the agreement we reached before, this observation group will be responsible for commanding the border guards that will enter your territory later.
You cannot interfere with their command."
"I'm not a commander or a soldier, and I won't ask for trouble."
Murphy's tone became more relaxed, and he said gently:
"Then, I wish us a happy hunting tomorrow night. You'd better confirm again that there is really no problem with your defense zone."
Before he could finish speaking, the communication with the core orb had been disconnected.
Obviously Marshal Loren was not interested in discussing this professional issue with Murphy.
But within ten minutes after the "psychic phone call" was made, the five officers responsible for border inspections in the fortress were called into the marshal's office and cursed.
It was obvious that Marshal Loren was not as confident as he showed on how Wolfsbane vampires could cross the border.
But this does not mean that the marshal is incompetent.
It is true that the unique "blood servant culture" of vampires is too lethal when used to do hidden bad things. The marshal cannot treat every civilian and homeless man in his defense area as a potential blood servant.
?
Whether it was the officers trying to make amends afterwards, or the short-manned marshal using the army out of his own dignity, it was basically certain that the wolfsbane vampires who were planning bad things would not be able to leave this area alive after tomorrow night.
This is exactly what Murphy wants to achieve with this "psychic phone call".
There were a lot of troubles in Transia at the moment, and he really didn't want to be distracted from dealing with problems from within the vampire clan.
After completing the exchange with Marshal Loren, Murphy stood up in his office.
He took out a midnight cloak from the closet and tied it on his shoulders, and hung the Miser's Crossbow and the Tamer's Whip on the weapons rack around his waist. Just as he was about to go out, he saw the office door being pushed open, and the man with his arms folded
Tris appeared in front of him.
"You want to go there in person?"
The Grand Duke asked:
"Because it involves Cecilia? Are you worried that Femis will fall into a trap?"
"I was lying when I said I wasn't worried."
Murphy did not hide it, he said calmly:
"Only Femis and Adele know who Lady Cecilia was before, but I can be sure that she has become one of the most dangerous beings on this continent after she was involved in Dusk's plan.
Emotionally and rationally, I cannot sit back and watch Femis face this threat alone.
I am even guessing now whether there is another force behind your behavior of stealing the seed of life more than two hundred years ago.
This sounds unreal.
But I would rather imagine the dusk to be more powerful, so as not to underestimate them. This may be our first face-to-face contact with the dusk, and I must be present.
Femis and Kudel were in the light, and I was in the dark.
This way we can ensure that there will be no trouble to the greatest extent possible.”
"You are always so cautious when it comes to protecting your own people."
Tris sighed and said:
"Just now, the goshawk of Knight Valander sent a letter to Natalie. Little Sharon wanted to invite the leader of the witch hunters to their forest to participate in her ceremony to reconnect with the spirit of the forest.
You can go with Natalie.
I suggest that you bring Eugene and Marianne. The two experienced witch hunter masters can be used as effective supplements when facing vampires.
I will not participate in this operation.
I will work hard to decipher the secret of the Scepter of Command to help your gnolls and warriors stay safe as they enter the Foul Swamp.
Murphy, I don't know if you feel that way.
But dusk.
The more I come into contact with information about them, the more I feel that what these guys want may not just be black disasters all over the continent, but they want something more terrifying.
Just like the little information that little Sharon gained from the old Earl of Xi Ke.
They are a group of lunatics who regard this era as a mistake, and they hold terrifying power in their hands. Their layer-by-layer arrangement in Transia makes even an old vampire like me feel danger and fear.
I don't want to hide it.
In fact, I have thought about taking you away from here more than once, and I doubt whether we can win."
"You are not old. It is the most beautiful time in your life."
Murphy stepped forward with a smile and took Tris, who rarely showed weakness and worry, into his arms. He gently patted Tris on the shoulder and said:
"No matter what they are, no matter what they want, when they are pulled out from the shadows by us, their greatest support has collapsed and disappeared.
The devil cannot have a face! That would only point out the target for the heroes to crusade, and now, the devil named Dusk has a face that we can track.
Lady Cecilia is the best entry point, as well as the mysterious ‘source’.
We will win, I promise you.
Even if we end up missing a move, I won't let you go alone."
Tris didn't respond.
She put her head on Murphy's chest and listened to the slow beating of the vampire's heart. After staying so quiet for several minutes, she said dumbly:
"Why didn't you show up earlier? Show up in my life earlier, that might give me more courage to face the beatings and provocations from fate."
"Those beautiful things are so precious precisely because they require patient waiting. What's more, it's not too late."
Murphy lowered his head and kissed Tris's hair gently, and said:
"We still have a lot of time to go hand in hand to the end. I confirm this. It was you who saved me from the most abysmal fate. You are my most profound connection with this world, just like a wandering thing.
Lighthouse, to me you have never been just a charming goddess who needs to be pursued.
Although I really want to continue having such a gentle conversation with you, it’s getting late, Tris, and it’s time for me to set off.”
"Um."
Tris raised her head and took the initiative to leave a kiss on Murphy's cheek, then watched him disappear into the shadows of the Blood Vulture Corridor. Tris stood there for several minutes before returning to her office.
Murphy's gentleness made her seem to have finally made up her mind to face the "monster" she had created in her past life.
She took the pearl bracelet representing "source" in her hand and used a rather complicated technique to activate a certain spell hidden in it.
Psychic energy began to vibrate.
It weaves a flow of information that can span space in a way that even Tris has never seen.
"Christine! I know you're listening."
Tris said hoarsely:
"Let's meet."
There was silence in the office until nearly ten seconds later, a vague voice came from the distant place, more like a whimper in the wind than words.
"You have murderous intentions, which makes me seem to see the rise of the long-dormant Scarlet Witch again. It seems that I have offended you, my terrifying elder. You have made up your mind to get rid of me just for a stupid feeling.
You have drunk the poison called love and become too cowardly, emotional and stupid.
You have become the person you warned me not to be.
a fragile ordinary person
Well, we will meet, Lady Tris.
Not now, not here.
Just wait patiently.
We will meet again eventually!"
"I'm warning you! Stay away from Murphy."
Tris scolded that person.
But he only received a burst of light laughter in response. After the laughter died down, the voice sounded again:
"Of course, I will never go against your will. Just as I devote all my loyalty to you, of course we can ignore the series of problems raised by Murphy. As long as you join us, as long as you are willing to embark on your destiny
Path."
"Don't even think about it!"
Tris refused simply and neatly:
"I won't fall in the same gutter twice."
"Well, then I hope your lovely little boy will be blessed. Love makes you who was once so arrogant now full of weaknesses."
She was obviously provocative, but Tris was not seduced.
On the contrary, she frowned and felt the vibrations of psychic energy, and the wisdom belonging to the master of psychic energy was spinning rapidly in her mind, even causing Tris's eyes to shine with the illusion of red arcs.
After an interval of three seconds, Tris breathed out a sigh of relief.
she says:
"Ice Bay. Nortu Sea Cliff. I caught you! Do you still remember the first psychic tracking lesson I gave you? Little elf girl, when you observe me through this bracelet, I can also sense you.
!”
"!!!"
"Shua"
The Serenade Scepter flew into the palm of her hand, and with Tris's waving, a crack opened to the source of the psychic vibration.
The moment the dragon-like blood wings opened, a terrifying psychic lightning that was large enough to cover half of the city was slammed by Tris who crossed the crack and hit the lonely sea cliff castle below where the cold wind blew and the white snow swayed.
above.
The next moment, a scarlet thunderstorm broke out in the snow, crushing one third of the upper half of the lonely castle.
