Chapter 692 691 Escape in despair? Bah, you think we are
Chapter 692 691. Escape in despair? Bah, who do you think we are!
The "treasure hunters" who found the Skaven Tunnel from where Valancer buried Medjeva's treasure and rushed all the way back to the Black Flame Pass found the place in ruins when they returned to their position.
The good news is that they guessed it right.
The tunnel dug by the Skaven indeed became the key to changing the war at Black Flame Pass.
The bad news is that they guessed it right.
Why did he go out to dig for a treasure? When he came back, not only was the high ground demolished, but even the crystals were in danger.
Because the earthquake technique launched by the Splitting Claw Jackal collapsed the first few positions, turning the ridge into a fragmented area, causing the treasure hunters headed by the Big Bird Group and the Silver Moon Group to collapse when they approached the Black Flame Pass.
You can even see the night sky directly from the broken point of the underground rat tunnel.
"Damn it! Isn't this too miserable?"
Brother Meow Meow, who was carrying the dwarf battle ax, saw the tragic ruins of the rat and kobold positions in front of him, especially the corpses buried in the ruins, which made him feel numb. The veteran players were all stunned.
I wonder if I've gone to the wrong place, and there's no need to say much about the reactions of the newbies.
They have only been in the game for a short time, and have not even seen the big scene of Cadman City being torn apart and destroyed by the star realm. Now they are completely at a loss when facing this chaotic situation like the end of the world.
"Half the front position is gone!
The jackals are still attacking, and the defenders at Black Flame Pass may have withdrawn to the rear. We can go to support, but we have to get past this ruins full of monsters first. I think this may be a bit difficult for our current situation.
Difficulty'."
Yuan, who was transferred to the Witch Hunter of Avalon, was carrying a heavy sword and holding a bow. He looked at the densely packed rats and kobolds in front of him with a painful look on his face. It was impossible to count how many monsters had been refreshed. He just looked at them.
Everyone's head makes people's scalp numb.
"This scene is set up in this way, obviously it is not for us to immerse ourselves in."
At the critical moment, Mrs. Shui still had an idea.
Yan Sang blessed her with the Eagle Eye Technique and asked her to hide at the exit of the tunnel and take stock of the situation. After making up her mind to change jobs, the white knight turned back to the players behind her and said:
"Can your calculation orb still work?"
"No, after entering the position, this thing showed that we are in a complex psychic area. It is definitely the jackals that interfered with the communication."
Lanhua, who was carrying a sword and shield, shook her head and said:
"But we can use the forum to contact other players. Transia's position is right ahead. It is now destroyed. If the other brothers and sisters are still alive, then they must have evacuated."
"Go to the forum and check the situation."
Mrs. Shui said something to Orchid, and then gave Brother Meow Meow a wink. Two senior members of the Avalon Church walked quickly to President Natalie. They wanted to hear about the man who had followed them all the way from the tunnel.
The view of the high-level NPC who rushed back.
Natalie is now holding the Watcher's sword, half-kneeling and touching the ground in a very classic posture.
When the player approached, she raised her head and said to Brother Miao Miao and Mrs. Water:
"I can feel that the rear of the position is not peaceful. Enemies of the force of nature are raging there, maybe undead. It seems that the jackals are also causing trouble there. The force of nature is constantly warning that this place is becoming more and more dangerous.
.
I also sensed that the soldiers were withdrawing from their positions and moving towards Shadow Valley. This was a very large-scale retreat.
It seems that when we went to hunt for treasure, something terrible happened on the battlefield.
Governor Murphy’s prediction has come true, Black Flame Pass will fall today.”
"Isn't your investigative ability a little too outrageous?"
Brother Meow Meow complained:
"Is this the ability of the White Knight? I'm so greedy to see it."
"It's nothing. The white knight's position in the old religion is part of the hunting duty. The power of nature has given us keen perception. As long as there is natural power, hidden dangers will be foreseen."
Natalie stood up, shook her head and said in a deep voice:
"Now is not the time to discuss this. I have to rush back to the rear of the position. There may be room for the Watcher's Holy Blade to play there, but my concealment with the help of the power of nature can only allow me to travel quickly through this land alone. You guys
You have to find a way to leave on your own.
It is impossible to cross the current position relying on your combat power. I suggest you retreat!
If you can't move forward, go to another place.
Go to Fort Courage.
Old Eugene is guarding there with a group of devout Avalon believers. He will accept you and protect you, but I estimate that the Jackals have also deployed heavy troops there, and you will have to go through a battlefield if you want to enter Fort Courage."
If there were still calculation orbs, a plot decision should be triggered at this moment, but unfortunately, most of the orb's functions were abolished in the chaotic psychic area.
Just when Brother Mingmiao and Mrs. Shui were hesitating, Lan Huahua, who had gone to the forum to search for news, stood up, walked over and said to the two of them:
"I found the post posted by Mr. Qin and the others. The players in the front position suffered heavy losses, but they broke out of the position when a strange ritual on the Jackal side was launched. Currently, the Earth Priest is already there.
With the help, they successfully arrived at Fort Courage and took away more than a thousand NPC warriors.
Master Qin is now planning a desperate counterattack. He plans to summon psionic masters to perform astral rending on the Black Flame Pass to completely bury the nearby jackal barbarians.
I have to say that this plan is very extreme, but also very exciting.
Now that this position has been confirmed to be undefendable, if we go there and join them, we may be able to launch a wonderful counterattack, and maybe we can turn the tide."
"As expected of Mr. Qin, I like this bad temper. If you suffer a loss, you will definitely pay it back. Revenge will not last overnight, hehe."
Brother Miao Miao also appreciates this plan.
But Lao Qu in his team immediately raised a detail issue. Brother Qu, holding a shotgun, said while feeding fresh meat to the horned eagle pet on his shoulder:
"Don't worry, initiating the tearing of the astral realm requires energy carriers.
Do you still remember that during the decisive battle in Under Armor Hills, even the Astral Tear released by Mrs. Tracey herself required the core crystal of the Serenade Barrier as a medium to accumulate spiritual energy to break the barrier between the material world and the astral world.
That was still in Transia, where the boundary of the plane was broken once by the cultists, so it was already very weak.
But the plane boundary on the Black Flame Pass is solid, and the energy and media required to launch the astral tear covering the entire position must be even more terrifying.
I know that there is a Serenade Core in Fort Courage, which Lord Murphy sent before he was assassinated.
But one is simply not enough!”
"There were two core crystals on position three."
The guy with black stockings next to him rubbed his chin, turned to Lanhua and said:
"This position is in such a miserable state now. I estimate that the core crystal has either been recycled or lost in the ruins. Did Mr. Qin and the others take that thing with them when they left?"
"No? They must have left in a hurry."
Brother Miao Miao shook his head and said:
"You guys wait a minute, I'll log off and call Laobang to ask about the situation."
After saying that, the people in society who were looking forward to seeing the big scene sat down and temporarily went offline. The news that the big guys were going to Fort Courage to assist Lao Qin in launching a counterattack was quickly known to the newbies. These guys were average in strength but each of them was
The Lezi people, and they also fought with the jackals with knives in this position.
Although I can't say that I have much affection for Black Flame Pass, seeing the place where I once fought was destroyed like this, the more impatient guy couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
There are also some smart newcomers who immediately realized that the main mission of Black Disaster was likely to have a huge turn when they saw the position in front of them being destroyed like this, and this turn might be brought about by players like them.
Isn’t it said that the Black Disaster Campaign is staged?
The results of the previous stage will directly affect the plot advancement of the subsequent stages.
If they really cause something big here, they might even get the nickname "Hero of Transia" for fun. After all, who doesn't want a cool and fragrant chainsword?
"It seems that you have made up your mind to go to Fort Courage. Although I don't know how to carry out the counterattack you have been discussing. Maybe my imagination is really poor, but I guess there is nothing that can stop you from taking action."
Natalie heard the heated discussion among the players. She remembered the "NPC professional ethics" that she had been taught by Murphy's words and deeds. So before leaving, she took off the weapon box she was carrying behind her and handed it to the group of people.
The Water Lady who is most closely associated with the Church of Avalon.
She said in a deep voice:
"My parishioner, Mrs. Shui, I have seen your efforts in rebuilding Avalon Church over the past period of time.
In the past, you walked the path of healing, and the weapons in my hands were not suitable for your choice. But when I heard that you had changed your mind and wanted to embark on the path of guardianship of the White Knight, I could finally hand over the holy blade we both acquired with peace of mind.
You come and wave.
Take this green blast!
May you use Avalon's arrows wisely and protect those you are sworn to protect!"
"I?"
Mrs. Water was startled by Natalie's sudden generosity.
She is one of the two players with the highest status among all members of the Church of Avalon. She understands the significance of these 150 holy blades to the Church of Avalon better than ordinary players.
She knew that after the sacred object was recovered, a complex task chain would have to be arranged to confirm the final owner, but she did not expect that this wave of NPCs would be so straightforward.
Mrs. Shui, who had always been confident, now felt a little less confident.
She looked at the weapon box that was handed to her and said hesitantly:
"I'll tell you the truth, Ms. Natalie, the reason why I want to take the path of the White Knight is not because I have found something in this world that I must protect. I'm just tired of the feeling of being protected and want to try to fight.
.
Maybe I’m not suitable”
"Then go find it!"
Natalie was anxious to return to the rear of the position to help. Seeing Mrs. Shui's pushback, the Witcher, who had always been straightforward in doing things, also lost her temper. She thrust the weapon box into Mrs. Shui's hands and said in a deep voice:
"If you can't find the target to protect, go find it. If you don't want to be protected, then go fight. I can tell you many stories and maxims to explain to you that this is Avalon's will, but I guess you won't believe these chicken soups for the soul.
.
So I'll tell you straight, Mrs. Water.
Except for you, no one here is qualified or qualified to hold such a holy blade at this stage of power. Do you understand what I mean?
We are a faith-based organization after all.
Maybe you are not its perfect owner, but look at all this, if you still want to fight, you need a good weapon!
I entrust it to you.
If you don't use it smoothly, you can return it to the church after the battle."
After saying that, Natalie whistled and summoned her war horse Maple Leaf. She put on her war helmet and carried a big sword on her back, got on her horse, waved to the players and fellow believers behind her, and then rode forward.
The power of nature condensed into emerald green clouds and wrapped around her, causing her to quickly disappear from sight ahead.
"Ah, I never knew that Ms. Natalie could speak so directly."
Mrs. Shui, who was forcefully stuffed with a powerful weapon, was full of complaints and could not release it, but Brother Huozi beside her was very happy. Her wife is so powerful. Others have to do tasks if they want good things. She was better, and was directly killed by the NPC.
Push me something powerful.
If Ms. Natalie hadn't been a woman, Brother Huozi would have wondered if his wife was so charming that she charmed all the NPCs?
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Mrs. Shui quietly slapped her husband to stop his thoughts, and then opened the weapon box.
While other players looked at her with envy and hatred, she held the natural holy blade, Emerald Green Wind, in her hand. When she picked up the Greene-style long battle bow, there were open flowers and thin vines entwining around the bow. It looked like
Antique and unique.
After the newbies learned about such powerful things from veteran players, and after there were more than a hundred games in the background story of the Church of Avalon, many people started thinking about it. Maybe they would swear allegiance to the Avalon boss after they went back.
It's a good career plan.
At this time, Brother Meow Meow was also online again.
He shook his neck and said:
"Things are a bit troublesome. Happy Stick did not take away the two barrier cores.
That thing is now in the ruins in front of us. If we want to maximize the power of the astral tearing on the Fort Courage side, we must take the risk to retrieve the crystal core and escort it there."
"Ding! The important plot choice "suck it up or fight back hard" has been triggered!
Event description:
The shameless gnolls colluded with their dirty cultist allies, and took advantage of the Transians to relax their vigilance to launch a fatal blow at the Black Flame Pass. The situation in the position has now reached its worst ending, but this does not mean that
There's nothing left for us to do.
Governor Murphy has returned to the battlefield!
He has heard about the wild but feasible counterattack strategies of the foreign warriors. He believes that this may be the most violent counterattack that the suffering land of Black Flame Pass can make. He also confirms that this final blow will
Make the jackal heartbroken.
The only problem now is that if you want to launch the Great Astral Rip in Fort Courage, you need to find two enchantment cores that were lost on the battlefield.
This is a very dangerous behavior and may even lead to the annihilation of your entire army.
Governor Murphy never forces his warriors, so he gives you the power of choice. Do you want to seek justice for the victims of Black Flame Pass? Or do you want to be as dejected as an old dog with its spine broken?
Fleeing to safety amid the jeers of the gnolls?
Please make your choice.
hint!
This plot choice will directly affect the outcome of the Black Flame Pass Attack and Defense Battle! Therefore, all players who activate this choice should take it seriously!
hint!
Currently, the number of players that can be accepted for this choice task is 514. To complete the decision, more than two-thirds of the number of players who choose a certain option must be exceeded.
hint!
This decision-making task is extremely difficult, so please be prepared for the worst.
mission rewards:
When the three serenade enchantment core crystals are sent to Fort Courage, Governor Murphy will carry important props and go there in person to preside over the great astral tearing ceremony, teaching the Splitclaw Gnolls a lesson they will never forget.
Task failure conditions:
All players participating in the mission died in battle, the core crystal could not be retrieved, and the power of Fort Courage's astral tear was too small to prevent the tragic ending of Black Flame Pass.
Tip from the development team!
This mission will not affect the main plot of Black Disaster. Regardless of whether it is completed or not, it will enter the second phase of the main mission of Tide of Darkness. However, if this mission can be completed, it will have a direct impact on the situation in the second phase.
This task is extremely difficult and has factors that affect the outcome of a war. Therefore, completing this task can open the third phase of the 'Transia Hall of Fame' selection. The fifteen people who perform best in the task will be awarded the 'Transia Hall of Fame'.
The title of "Hero of West Asia" and enjoy the benefits of the Hall of Fame."
"Fuck! Has the communication on this thing been restored?"
Brother Miao Miao was startled by the sudden sound of the alert.
After reading the decision prompts, he was about to turn around to save other people's opinions, but when he turned around, he saw the bright eyes of No. 500 people staring at him like a pair of light bulbs, as if he met him while walking at night.
A pack of wolves makes people panic.
"I know what you want to ask! Don't stress to me how difficult this task is! I don't care!"
Flying in the air, little Ashina waved his hammer guard and shouted:
"I only know that it will start the third round of selection for the Hall of Fame! Your boy is already a member of the Hall of Fame, but we are not yet! We also want a cool and powerful chainsword! I don't care! I accepted this selection task!
