Chapter 462 461 The killer weapon you booked is about to enter the scene!
Chapter 462 461. Your scheduled killer weapon is about to arrive!
The "blood servant problem" in the Crimean Fortress is indeed quite serious. This problem came from the fact that at the end of the Ten Years' War, the Winter Wolf Legion of the Nordtov Kingdom invaded the Kavhoka area in large numbers under the command of the Wolf Girl.
A small flaw masked by an outstanding victory.
This fortress is known as the "Unbreakable Wall". In the past four hundred years, it has been a military fortress that the Confederation of Portia spent heavily on repairing and maintaining. Elite members of the Blood Vulture Clan and 10,000 elite blood servants are stationed here all year round. This is a special feature.
Lancia is a force that cannot be ignored, but the Winter Wolves did not capture this fortress through siege.
Grand Duke Shani of the Thorn Clan sneaked into it, and with the cooperation of the "Wang Situ"-like success in persuading surrender and the cruel reality that Cadman City was destroyed and the Blood Vulture Clan was annihilated, the Blood Vulture vampires in the Crimean Fortress were quite smooth.
It was a slippery throw.
These bastards didn't even strive for more. After voting, they joined the Thorn Clan and got preferential treatment and their own faction. They originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and move into Transia, but they met Murphy and Tris, a pair of "salted fish".
The husband-and-wife team rose to prominence, but was assigned a new territory by Grand Duke Shani, who did not want to cause trouble.
The Grand Duke of Thorns sent those traitors to the other side of the wilderness and started a new life happily in Port Joseph in the Far East. However, he suffered a lot from the 10,000 armed blood servants who were still defending the castle.
It can be seen from the situation of Maxim taking over the third brigade that although there are many people in the armed blood servants who "work as soldiers and get paid", there are also a large number of people who remain loyal to the Bosian Confederation and Transia.
, after their vampire commander ran away, how to deal with these armed blood servants who had nowhere to go became General Baldwin's problem.
In the past few months, the general tried many methods and recruited a group of blood servants who were willing to surrender, but there were still almost 6,000 people who were "uncooperative".
Although he obeyed orders and obeyed the general's command, General Baldwin did not dare to bet on the choices these guys would make when they received orders such as to fight against Transia.
You can't directly massacre so many people. That would only cause trouble for yourself. If they start a riot, it will easily cause major problems for the Crimean Fortress's defense line.
This matter has almost become a worry for the outstanding General Baldwin, making him unable to maintain the quality of his sleep in the Crimean Fortress during this period.
According to the general's previous thoughts, he planned to use these stubborn blood servants as "consumables" to fight against the gnolls. However, now that the black disaster is about to break out, this headache seems to have taken a turn for the better.
"Didn't Governor Murphy accept a group of blood servants who returned from the Great Wilderness before? They also accepted the captive blood servants of East Prussia from Marshal Loren of the Plantagenet Kingdom.
This shows that Governor Murphy does not care about these guys' failures and is willing to give them a chance to start over."
The general's attendant suggested:
"The loyalty of the armed blood servants in the fortress is very problematic. I know this matter has been bothering you. I think it is better to take advantage of this cooperation and send them back to Transia. Of course, Governor Murphy needs
Paying a certain amount of remuneration for this, or asking his warriors to take on more work can give them the qualifications for the Blood Servant quota.
For example, those combat readiness supplies we are most lacking now.
Winter is coming. The Crimean Fortress is close to the swamp. Although the winter here will not freeze to death, we still lack fuel and winter clothes for the winter.
At present, the order in the Kafhoka area has not been restored, and there are chaos everywhere. If you want to collect these materials here, you must spend several times the time and energy.
I mean, if Governor Murphy's warriors can deliver what we need."
"Well, that's a good idea."
General Winter Wolf nodded.
He had obviously thought of this solution before and was just waiting for his attendant to say it.
As the top local military officer, there are some "politically incorrect" words that he cannot say personally, which can easily become a stain on his military resume.
Although General Baldwin is deeply trusted by the Wolf Girl, politics is too scary, and the general does not want to damage the so far perfect reputation of himself and his family.
So, he followed the words of the attendant and said:
"We can first select some of the most stubborn blood servants who are unwilling to obey and send them out as 'gifts' to reduce the pressure on the fortress prison.
As for what Murphy's warriors have to pay for this, let me think about it, there has always been a problem of wild beasts in the swamps near the Crimean Fortress, right?
According to our recent investigation, the migration of these beasts is due to the large-scale activities of those damn gnoll warlocks in the swamp. This is equivalent to the chain reaction caused by this incident, which happens to be the mutual aid agreement we reached with Transia.
in the category.
So, let the Transians on the northern defense line clean it up!
Anyway, Murphy's warriors are not afraid of death.
They look down upon death!
It is very troublesome for such a guy to become an enemy on the battlefield, so taking the opportunity to consume some now will reduce our future pressure."
"Well, I will immediately proceed with this matter according to your ideas."
The attendant solemnly recorded the general's order and said:
"I heard from some Transians who can't control their mouths that Governor Murphy plans to open a road in the swamp so that their soldiers can complete contact with the Blood Alliance Knights stationed in the Dark Mountains. This means that Trans
The West Asians are so arrogant that they plan to turn the filthy swamp into a new frontier for their territory.
General, do we need to intervene in this matter?
Once the swamp is really conquered by the Transians, the location of the Crimean Fortress will become awkward.
We will transform from a continent-level military stronghold into a dispensable border fortress, which will weaken the Kingdom of Nordtov's say in dealing with the Black Disaster."
"Intervention? No, we will wait and see what happens."
General Winter Wolf shook his head and said:
"That's just a slogan put forward by Murphy. In my opinion, it is difficult to realize. In the past countless times, many people have longed to conquer the filthy swamp, just like our Nordito ladies conquered the wilderness, but so far it has not
No one person or force can succeed.
I don't believe that Murphy, a magical vampire, can create such a spectacular miracle.
But if they really do it, it won't do us any harm.
Since the Crimean Fortress was established during the Second Black Disaster until now, every black disaster has caused heavy damage to the fortress. Although this has also created its undefeated reputation, after all, it is not the Transians who stick to it now.
.
My soldiers are the most elite brave men of the motherland. If Governor Murphy's adventurous actions can reduce their sacrifices, I am willing to raise my hands and sing praises to the vampire lord.
Although we are soldiers, Duke.
But we cannot pursue war mindlessly.
A general should uphold his duty to defend and fulfill his mission to the kingdom, and war is always the last resort for self-sacrifice."
Baldwin, who had a delicate mustache, reached out and held the general's cane beside him. He walked to the window of the highest office in the fortress and looked out.
Those eyes that were as gray and heartless as the cold wind saw an endless swamp scenery.
After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"My ancestors, my grandfather, and my father all died in the war against the Black Disaster. From the glorious era of Boris's Vanguard Army to the present, every generation of my family will fight against every Black Disaster.
Extraordinary, and the fate of our family is closely linked to this swamp.
Maybe this is my destiny too.
If the jackals want to invade our motherland, they have to step over my body first!
But it would not be a good thing if I had to get over the bodies of the Transians before the gnolls came to kill me. At least it would give us some time to prepare.
I admire brave people.
To be honest, I also hope to see them create a miracle.
You go ahead and draft a plan.
Leave it to me for review and then send it to Scarlet Keep. If Governor Murphy and his supposedly young consul agree to this 'prisoner exchange' model, then we can start to solve this 'loyalty' issue."

Swamp Raiders is indeed a long process.
The event announcement issued by Mr. Murphy clearly gave a strategy time of forty days. This proves that in the opinion of the development team, even if all the players are currently devoted to the swamp front, it is impossible to conquer this super difficult task in a short time.
Chewy bones.
The fact is indeed as expected by the development team. Although the three fronts have been launched and are progressing well, at the end of the second week of the operation and on the fifth day of the third week, the student party that has made the fastest progress has
It was only the ninth sentry post that had just been captured.
With a difficult attitude, they blasted their spearheads through the two layers of the Skeleton Army, and officially advanced to the vicinity of Plague Town.
However, the student party members have also become quite exhausted from the high-intensity fighting. Facing the elite skeleton army guarding the road to Plague Town, they are no longer able to move forward and can only hold on.
The progress of the other two fronts is much slower than that of the student party. Whether it is Brother Miao Miao or Brother Bang, they have only just broken through to the second layer of defense.
If this progress continues, at the end of forty days, it will be absolutely impossible for the players to capture the heavily defended Plague Town.
But except for the individual players who became impatient and the casualties began to increase, the members of several major guilds invariably slowed down.
Brother Bang didn't even use the NPC troops on the Maginot Line of Defense to help out. They just relied on the combination of veterans and recruits of the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Regiment to advance slowly, and even had the mood to build a forward camp in the swamp.
Brother Meow Meow and the Silver Moon Group focused on "planting trees" near the Avalon Church camp on the southern front.
In the past twenty days, these guys threw more than 3,000 seeds with different effects into the muddy water of the swamp, and the "exploding belly" who was determined to follow the path of the druid was responsible for the care and cultivation.
The Western Front where the Student Party and Shado-Pan are located are even less anxious, because they have no choice but to rush.
Their violent advance has caused the Skeleton Army in other directions to begin to move to the western front, causing the enemy's military strength here to more than double in a few days, even if they handed over all the downed sentries to Plantagenet.
When the vanguards were stationed and they were only responsible for the attack, the student party was completely unable to push back.
Although they are elite and brave enough, the fatal weakness of being small in numbers cannot be ignored.
The fact that the advantages gained in the early stage were being overtaken by other teams as time went on made Cheche and Ayun a little anxious and angry, but Hao Gege did not urge everyone to work harder.
This guy has been mysteriously going out early and coming back late at night with Niu Niu, Master Yang, and Brother Mao in the past few days, as if he went to investigate, but he doesn't know what "secret operation" they are planning.
In this unbearable stalemate, some "little smart people" finally realized that the current stagnation of the three fronts was waiting for some kind of "big killer" to appear!
This is a topic that has been mentioned frequently in posts over the past few days.
Especially yesterday afternoon, after Brother Zhongzhong posted a photo of an armed carriage filled with black bombs to the forum, this was basically a "clear sign".
The news that the First National Arsenal of Transia had developed "weapons of mass destruction" in response to this swamp war spread like wildfire, and in the collective farms that were still some distance from the front line, this matter had been confirmed.
hammer.
"You guys come here quickly! Come with us in the car to the village of Moreland. Brother Zhongzhong has already issued a mission. We have to transport the bombs they produced to the positions of the Maginot Line within four days."
In the square of the "Pride of the Lion King" in Village No. 2, the village leader Pink Cat and Rabbit's younger brother "Rainbow Cat Hero" stood on a crate and shouted to a group of newbies who had just entered the game yesterday:
"Come here and get ready to go. As long as everyone completes this trip, everyone will be rewarded with five gold coins! Brother Zhongzhong will pay for it. You only need to follow the trip and take on some transportation work. You don't need to follow to fight monsters.
There is no need to participate in the dangerous frontline guide.
Now that we’re in the right place, wouldn’t it be nice to just go into the swamp and level up those peripheral skeletons?”
This tone is no different from that of HR in a factory recruiting workers.
In fact, Rainbow Cat Hero did work in the factory for a period of time, but he and the pink cat Mao Rabbit were junior students and seniors. Although he did not have a career plan to take the civil servant route like Mao Mao Rabbit, Rainbow Cat Hero is now
In reality, being a middle-level leader in the human resources department of a large company can lead a pleasant life.
This time, I was asked to help by my senior just to return a favor, but after a week of experiencing it, I immediately became a die-hard fan of "Real World". Now I am appointed as the militia captain of the "Pride of the Lion King" village, and my subordinates are in charge of it.
Militia No. 30 is basically a "chicken and dog ascending to heaven" type.
He was there shouting for recruitment, and the newcomers who had just entered the game yesterday and hadn't figured out the basic mode immediately gathered together when they heard the reward of five gold coins.
In a short time, the selection of the twenty people was completed, and the militiamen drawn from the village formed a team of forty people, who drove twelve empty carriages to the arsenal.
As a village that is positioned to engage in postal and logistics services in the future, Pink Cat and Maotu has purchased a large number of horse-drawn carriages for its village. After today's group leaves, there will be a group of people who will embark on the same transportation route tomorrow.
But the village chief, Maomaotu, has his second "official order" after assisting in "Booty Bay".
He takes this very seriously.
Tomorrow's larger transportation will be escorted by Maomaotu himself. Let Hongmao go there today just to explore the way.
Along the way, the newbies crowded into the last cart and chatted. The customs of Transia and what they saw and heard in the Scarlet Castle became topics of conversation, but this group
There is a very "unique" player in Mengxin who attracts attention.
First of all, this guy's ID is very informal. His name is "Uncle Qin, the concierge."
Secondly, this guy is so good at talking!
From the time I entered the game to now, I have made friends with many young people, and now I am telling young people about his war years in the carriage.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the details are very realistic and everyone is very fascinated by it. However, some people have raised objections.
"Old Qin, I said you have fought in real life, but the most recent battle over there was almost fifty years ago, right? How old are you?"
A student party member whose ID was "Sanjin Sweet Potato Shao" couldn't help but ask.
He is Cheche's fellow countryman, one level lower than Cheche. He majored in art and oil painting. When he entered the game, he had the character specialties of "Drawing Expertise" and "Artistic Talent".
I filled out the application half a month ago and just entered the game yesterday.
Upon hearing Sweet Potato Shao's question, Uncle Qin smiled, patted his leg and said:
"Then I must be very old. That is to say, this helmet is quite magical. In real life, I am in a wheelchair. Alas, that's how old people are. I really envy you young people.
But this game is pretty good, and being able to play it while sleeping makes me feel a lot younger."
"I do not believe."
Diguashao curled his lips and said:
"How can the elderly be so fashionable? Do you, like Professor Chen, come to play games to support your retirement?"
"Hey, are you, this young man, the legendary gangster?"
Lao Qin planned to argue with him, but before he could start talking, he stopped outside and Hongmao, who came as the "supervisor", shouted:
"We're at the place. Everyone gets out of the car and moves things. Remember what I said before setting off, to handle it with care."
"Let's go, let's get to work."
Old Qin said something and stood up and jumped out of the car. The temporary warehouse outside Morland Village was already filled with boxes of "secret weapons". Not only their team, but also five collective farms, including Stromgarde.
People came out of the civilian convoy to transport weapons, and the place was very lively.
Local people were moving things, and there were witch hunters patrolling the area to avoid fireworks.
Diguashao and several classmates stepped forward to lift a box and headed towards the carriage. When they put it down, they accidentally dropped it and the wooden box board fell apart, revealing the black iron pipes inside.
Several student party members haven't realized what this is.
Diguashao reached out and touched it, and said doubtfully:
"Is this some kind of alien weapon? Why doesn't it have a trigger or a handle?"
"That's a mortar tube, silly boy."
Lao Qin, who was passing by, glanced at it, narrowed his eyes and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a replica of the Stokes. This thing is quite old. I used it when I was young. It's not difficult to operate.
If necessary, it can even be inserted into the soil to shoot.
These guys did a good job, they actually got all this stuff out, but I don’t know how they solved the problem of touching and exploding the fuse?”
"What the hell, mortar? Are you so awesome?"
Several young people were in a commotion. It was their first time seeing this kind of "real iron", and they didn't expect to see modern weapons in other lands.
A few seconds later, after the sweet potatoes were burned, he looked at Lao Qin who was walking away with a box of bullets, and whispered:
"Fuck! This old Qin actually fought in a war? It's really hidden."
