Chapter 532 531. Adele’s best friend from another world shows off her power!
Thanks to the active activities of a large number of new players near Wolf's Castle, as well as Hogg's action of sending out the jackals on hand to "encircle" the filthy swamp, the originally dangerous swamp seemed to have become safer.
Especially in the area extending from Wolf Castle to the south, there are far fewer crocodiles in the muddy water, not to mention the wandering skeleton army.
The jackals not only issue tasks to clean up the undead, these smart guys even hand over the hunting tasks to the tireless players. It has to be said that in terms of combat, the young players have never been afraid of anyone.
They swept across the dangerous swamp almost like a whirlwind. In groups of three or five, they dared to hunt swamp tigers or vampire bats. They were very tactical and did not just rush in and out blindly.
This change may be due to the fact that players have also participated in the strategy of the Carrion Land and have a deep understanding of the combat methods of this real game.
In short, digging traps has become their most common way of fighting in the swamp.
But the problem is that these guys dig too many traps and usually don't take the time to fill them up after the battle. The direct consequence of this bad habit is that when Mrs. Adele's 150-man pioneering group advanced in the swamp,
Some manpower must also be allocated to find and destroy those traps that have failed, so as to avoid unexpected attrition when the large army passes.
"boom"
The tight rope was carefully cut, and the stretched trees straightened out with a harsh sound as the kinetic energy was released. This force was enough to lift an adult swamp tiger into the air or simply break off their claws.
"These guys can do it!"
Lao Qin was watching the "demining" of sweet potato roasting and ketchup. While holding a notebook to record that another trap was destroyed, he said to the hooded corpse witch Baldwin beside him who was silent:
"I mentioned the principle to them before, but they actually made this kind of hunting trap. Not to mention the poor position choice, this practical ability alone is worthy of praise."
"Old Qin! Come this way, I found several trip wires and booby traps."
Pickle Cucumber, a student sent in the other direction, shouted:
"What's the matter with you! Are you taught such dangerous things? Damn, these bastards have buried broadswords in traps, but Brother Zhongzhong's craftsmanship is very bad. I heard that this thing will explode as soon as it is touched. I don't want to
If you dare to dismantle it, do it."
"I didn't teach you."
Lao Qin frowned and leaned over to look, shook his head and said:
"Real booby traps are not like this. This is the wild way I learned in war documentaries. Real punishment, these guys! Remove the wire on the left and don't touch the one on the right."
While Sour Cucumber was grumbling and cautiously "clearing mines," the silent Corpse Witch spoke:
"Is this the way you fight over there? I have to admit that it's eye-opening to me. Jackals also use traps, but their primitive traps are just like children's toys compared to your traps that focus on killing.
.
The product of a cunning combination of explosives and swamp terrain, it looks very inhumane.”
"It is indeed inhumane. You should be lucky that our arsenal is not yet able to produce qualified anti-infantry mines, let alone the vicious butterfly mines."
Lao Qin frowned and recorded the locations of these traps while saying:
"The time we arrived is too short, so the war potential of the other world cannot be fully utilized, but I am pleased to see that my compatriots have begun to use their ingenuity based on the existing environment.
If the production capacity of explosives can keep up, this swamp will undoubtedly become a filthy hell for gnolls."
"That's how swamp warfare should be!"
Baldwin said in the hollow voice of a corpse witch:
"During the Second Black Disaster, the Jackals used the same idea to fight against us. At that time, we suffered heavy damage, but we soon retaliated. We would put explosive psychic stones into the hands of the Jackal scouts.
Inside the corpse, trenches with spikes will be dug out under the cover of mud and water.
If casualties are not taken into account, this swamp is actually very suitable for blocking operations. But unfortunately, in the following years, humans lost the courage to resist the jackals in the swamp. They were frightened by the black disaster until the last time.
Only when he was cornered did he start to fight back again.
But this is not to blame humans, after all, gnolls are obviously more suitable for fighting in this kind of terrain, and those barbarians are simply born to fight in swamps."
"Yeah?"
Lao Qin scoffed at this conclusion. He closed his notebook and said:
"When the gnolls really come, I will organize a group of people to 'play' with them in the swamp. If you are willing, I hope you will join us. Your spell will work wonders.
As a result, we will turn into 'ghosts' in the swamp, leaving a shadow on those gnolls that will never dissipate.
Haha, a talking tree~sounds great!”
"Of course, I am willing to see the war art of otherworldly demons and learn from them."
Old Baldwin let out a dry and perverted laugh. It was obvious that this guy was definitely a war maniac during his lifetime.
It is already an NPC member of the "Sharp Knife Pavilion" guild registered by Lao Qin, and he can sign a cooperation contract with it only after Lao Qin learns how to summon the undead.
However, the old man who was quite powerful in other aspects made the corpse witch want to scold his mother when it came to learning psychic powers. Lao Qin's learning progress was very poor, and it had been for several days. Not to mention mastering psychic powers, even perception was very difficult.
But this is not to blame Lao Qintou.
He has spent his whole life as a staunch warrior of atheism. Now that he is old, if you let him believe in metaphysics, the psychological aspect alone will not be good enough.
His situation is very similar to Professor Chen.
Lao Chen Tou has been in the game for a long time, but the psychic spell can only be learned by turning a fossil into mud and it is very bad at using it. It is not that they can't learn it.
"All the traps here have been cleared. The area ahead is no longer the mission area. There should be no traps there, and there won't be these annoying things on the road ahead. Our mission is complete."
Ten minutes later, Di Guashao shouted, and Lao Qin simply gathered up the team and took a batch of recovered explosives back to the camp where the pioneering regiment was camping and resting.
Because many players have to go to work, today's progress is not very fast. However, after get off work, Mrs. Adele will start a forced march to catch up on the missing mileage today.
This is a paramilitary operation with strict requirements for daily progress.
According to the plan of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, they have to cross the swamp within seven days. This is a very difficult task. However, Adele and her intelligence personnel have the swamp map given by Hogg. They only need to follow the path marked by the jackal.
This can barely guarantee the marching speed.
A pot was set up in the camp, and the monk and chef Star Soul Eagle was disemboweling the swamp tiger that the guys had hunted back, preparing to make a big pot of soup for everyone to enjoy. The assassin Shame Hua was next to him using a dagger to give some swamp tigers.
Plant peeling.
The two of them were talking and laughing as they worked together while watching a group of players walking around and winking.
It’s not uncommon for players to fall in love with NPCs. Hui Ren, Niu Niu and even Bang Ge are all frequent guests on the forum when discussing the topic of “Paper Man’s Wife”.
This is the first time.
Even though Star Soul Eagle and Shame Flower deny it in every possible way, everyone knows the whole story just by looking at their looks.
Well, of course, the situation of Mrs. Shui and Brother Huozi does not count. They have already obtained the certificate and are a legal couple. No matter how close they are, it is not the monsters' turn to make irresponsible remarks.
The situation with Sister Pomegranate and Brother Cat doesn't count. After all, everyone generally can't defeat them, and they don't dare to spread gossip secretly, lest they be sacked by "Scarlet Valkyrie" or "Blood Blade" one day while walking on the road.
But Mrs. Shui is not having a "swamp date" with her husband. As a senior member of this pioneering group, she has been recruited by Adele as a temporary adjutant. This will be under the auspices of Mrs. Adele.
Waiting for orders in the tent and trying to find out more information about Dark Hollow.
She didn't even hide her plan from Mrs. Adele. When she heard that the warriors of the Silver Moon Pride Group planned to use the Dark Valley as a stronghold, Adele was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
After a few minutes, she spoke to Mrs. Shui:
"There is room for your ideas to be realized, but I cannot hand over to you the area where my people live, which will be used as a frontline military camp for Maxim and the People's Army in the future.
But Shadow Valley is quite big, so you can choose another place to start over.
Although it is called a valley, it is actually a small basin extending from the edge of a barren mountain, and there are rocks blocking each area, forming a unique mountain road that is difficult to discover, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This is also the information I want to tell you.
It is very difficult to invade the Shadow Valley from the outside. My people only need to defend a few mountain strongholds and rely on the terrain to block intruders several times their size, but it is not without its problems."
The Dark Baroness took out the map she had obtained from Uncle Bella, placed it in front of Lady Water, pointed to several directions in the valley and said to her:
"Because of the dangerous terrain, it is very difficult for us to evacuate from it in extreme circumstances. The dark valley is surrounded by mountains, and its water source comes from the 'Huma River' in the barren mountain area, and its tributaries enter in the form of waterfalls.
The dark valley is a place we cannot climb.
Therefore, once a foreign enemy invades the valley, we have no other option but to fight to the death.
The accident that left my tribe was also caused by the trolls and jackals driving the kobolds to invade the valley using underground raid tactics, so in my opinion, the Dark Valley is not actually a perfect stronghold.
Are you sure you want to run it with your companions for a long time?"
"It's in a great location, isn't it? Lady Adele."
Mrs. Shui drew her hand on the map and said:
"Not to mention that we can station an army here during the war, just to guard the road to Transia.
Even in peacetime, the location of the Dark Valley is exactly on the only way from the Filthy Swamp to the Brass Fortress through Baphomet Canyon. If we open up the trade route in the future, then our stronghold will become Transia's.
The smugglers' last stop into the Dark Mountains.
If we can maintain the scale of this trade route, then just collecting taxes and providing services to merchants every year will be enough to build a new city in the Dark Valley.
Although it is limited by the environment and terrain, its scale cannot be too large, but for a guild and mercenary group like us, its income is enough for us to spend money freely."
"You are not the only one who can see the key to this position, Mrs. Water."
Adele drew a few arrows on the map with a pencil and said:
"The trolls, gnolls, kobolds and even the evil goatman clans that roam the barren mountains can all see the advantages of this valley. In my memory as a child, conflicts of all sizes surrounding the valley have never stopped.
Your occupying this place means you become an enemy of the life around you."
"I wish there were more of them, Lady Adele."
Mrs. Shui let out a light laugh and said confidently:
"The locals should be afraid of these barbarians, because you only have one life, and your precious life should not be wasted on being brave and ruthless. But your disadvantage is exactly our advantage. I believe that our 'Silver Moon City' will
In the future, it will become the most lively stronghold for foreigners!
Countless warriors will set out from here to spread the majesty of Transia and Lord Murphy throughout the Dark Mountains.
Please believe me, Lord Adele, this stronghold is the most suitable for us.
So now I just need to convince you to let us run this stronghold."
"Persuasion? No, no need."
Adele shook her head and said directly:
"As long as you can stay here when the Black Disaster ends, then after the war is over, this will naturally be your territory. This is the rule set by Governor Murphy for Transia. You have contributed to a piece of land.
The land will naturally give you loyalty back.
However, I told you just now about the problem of Shadow Valley. If the Jackals attack in full force, especially after Maxim’s army withdraws to the swamp defense line, it will be really difficult for you to hold it there alone.”
"That's what we need to think about, Ms. Adele!"
Mrs. Shui said in a deep voice:
"Please leave this responsibility to us. We will stay there until the end of the war and until victory comes!"
"Well, you asked for this."
Adele knew Madam Water's appeal among players. She knew that the charming lady in front of her was one of the "elected leaders" of the foreign people. Seeing Madam Water being so determined, she no longer tried to persuade her, but
Holding the orb of calculation.
After a while, a ding sound sounded quietly.
[The stronghold mission "Hold on until the last day" has been triggered!
Mission description:
Ms. Adele, who was given the responsibility by Lord Murphy to take full charge of the affairs of Shadow Valley, saw the determination of the "Silver Moon Pride Group", so she decided to give the foreigners a chance to show their courage. The "Silver Moon Pride Group" must stick to it
Cooperate with the Cadman People's Army in Shadow Valley to launch a battle against the Black Disaster, and after the People's Army may retreat, still defend the valley until the Black Disaster ends.
If the "Silver Moon Pride" can do this, then they will have control of the Shadow Valley stronghold.
mission target:
Persevere until you win.
Failure conditions:
The gnoll army and its servants invaded the Shadow Valley.
Event rewards:
Dark Valley land deed X1, 'Hand of Freedom' Mona's legacy treasure house key
hint!
This task is extremely difficult. Members of the "Silver Moon Pride Group" are requested to expand their organization as much as possible and seek all possible support before the black disaster begins.
hint!
This task is accompanied by a ‘Second Lord Order of the Blood Alliance Knights’. The task recipient can use this order to communicate and coordinate to a certain extent with the commander of the Barren Mountain Defense Line of the Blood Alliance Clan, and obtain certain operational assistance from the other party.]
Looking at the prompt [Do you/do you accept the mission?] in front of her, Mrs. Shui accepted it without hesitation.
She is not without a chance of winning. Brother Miao Miao's Big Bird Group has made it clear that it will fully support the Silver Moon Group, and the Dark Valley is close to the trade route. With this, she can get the full support of the five administrative villages. What she lacks most now is
people.
Mrs. Water plans to hire a group of new players as cannon fodder. Well, armed defenders with strong courage!
However, after the task was accepted, Mrs. Shui did not leave immediately. On the contrary, she looked around, and then whispered to Mrs. Adele who lowered her head to sort the documents again:
"I noticed some changes in your dressing."
"Um?"
Adele looked up at Madam Shui in surprise. She didn't understand what this foreigner wanted to express.
"It's like this. You know that I am a master tailor. I can judge the change of a woman's mentality through her dress. For example, from your dress, I realize that you may have encountered something in the past few days.
Some emotional issues."
Mrs. Shui sat across from Adele's desk and said softly:
"Do you need to talk to someone who won't reveal secrets? I'm not bragging. I have some experience in relationships. I may be able to give you some advice. After all, from the perspective of us foreigners, Mr. Murphy
He definitely belongs to the "Diamond King" category of top-notch men.
Are you really going to just give up?
In my opinion, your advantage is really great. As long as you master the correct method, Mr. Murphy's conservative heart will open its arms to you."
"This is not an issue for you to get involved in, Mrs. Water!"
Adele said coldly:
"Please be more decent!"
"Well, I shouldn't say it, but I really can't bear to see an outstanding woman like you embark on a lonely road of no return."
Mrs. Water was possessed by some kind of confusion. She first turned off her calculation orb, and then whispered in Transian language, which she was not very proficient in:
"The administrator on the forum who really likes watching the dramas shared by Ashina-chan, who always likes but always dives, and who is very interested in espionage documentaries is you, right?"
"you!"
"Shhhhhhh, there are very few people who know this now, and I am one of them. You see, if you are really just an NPC in a game and a piece of data code, then I don't need to get involved at all.
I just think it's a pity that this plot was cut.
But the problem is, you are real.
You are living, real people. To tell you the truth, Ms. Adele, these few months of getting along with you have made me regard you as friends from another world. I feel that I have the ability to help my friends when they need help.
People must come to help.
Such as now.
Treat this as a secret, Adele, treat me as a friend from another world, tell me the hesitations in your heart, and you won’t worry about me spreading gossip about you in another world, right?
