Even Zhuo Genbao doesn’t know, what is the conspiracy mentioned by Tomato?
This must be an adventure mission. As long as you follow the mission line, you will definitely be able to trigger more plots and better rewards.
Tomato himself has no interest in the goblins' conspiracy. Whatever they do has nothing to do with him as a human being. He just wants to leave the goblins' range as soon as possible. I'm afraid he can't go back to his seclusion.
He had to find a new place to use as his base and stronghold. The kingdom was still looking for him, and it was even more impossible for Tomato to get over to the empire.
After a simple rest, Tomato left the wooden house again with the grasping root treasure and continued towards the forest.
Zhuang Genbao thought with some embarrassment that he might not be able to log off normally to sleep in the next few days. The escape life is very urgent. If he logs off and sleeps like before, he will probably drag down Tomato and cause the adventure mission to fail.
.
This game is really awesome, Zhuo Genbao thinks so.
————————————
When they were grabbing Genbao and finishing the adventure mission, players from the Free City of Victoria had already poured out of the portal in the Duchy of York, and then began to build their stronghold.
In the Duke of York's castle.
The garrison officer was patrolling the surrounding territory, and soon they discovered something strange. Some weird guys with green characters on their heads appeared in a forest that was not very lush. They were holding rough tools and
Trees were being cut down, clay clods were being excavated, and so on. The defense officer knew that this must be unusual, so he walked over directly and wanted to ask those weird guys what they were doing.
Those guys saw him walking over with his team, but they didn't run away or say anything actively. Instead, they looked at him with strange, expectant, and hesitant looks.
The garrison officer became even more vigilant. If it were the surrounding villagers, they would definitely say hello and declare what they were doing when they saw the patrol of the Duke of York coming.
Although there is no legal prohibition on cutting down trees in the Duke of York's territory, this is the private territory of the Duke of York. It is not appropriate to do such a thing here. If you are caught, you will be sent to jail.
Went inside.
"What are you doing here?"
The defense officer loudly questioned the people in front of him, but these people did not answer immediately. Instead, after discussing for a while, they recommended one person as their representative, and the defense officer found that their expressions were very
I was very excited, and I also heard some dialogues such as "The adventure is finally here", "Let me negotiate, I have a strong sense of involvement." "I am an actor" and so on. To be honest, I have no idea at all.
What are they talking about.
The person who was recommended for negotiation quickly went to the garrison officer and said in a very honest tone, "We are cutting down trees here to build our stronghold. Are you from the Duke of York?"
The garrison officer was stunned for a moment, building a stronghold? What kind of stronghold?
He looked confused, then held his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then with a ferocious expression on his face, he asked the players in front of him:
"What kind of stronghold are you building? This is the private territory of the Duke of York. If nothing happens, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be dead if you are caught by other guards. I am in a good mood today. I don't want to follow you.
If there is any conflict between us, if we don't leave, it will make your life difficult."
The players chattered for a while, and then the elected negotiator said to the defense officer in front of him:
"You seem like a good person. You shouldn't be collaborating with a villain like the Duke of York. Hurry up and join our Victoria Free City? Don't worry, no matter how difficult you are, we will help you!"
The player had just finished speaking about the defense officer and already had a surprised expression on his face.
He then drew his weapon and said to the people around him:
"Catch them quickly! These people are from the Free City of Victoria. Capture them and take them back for interrogation."
The players looked surprised when they saw the guard officer pulling out his weapon, and immediately prepared for battle. But when he heard that he was going to arrest them and go back for interrogation, everyone showed a knowing look.
With smiles and even a little excitement, they immediately threw the tree-cutting tools in their hands on the ground.
Some impatient people even tied themselves up and shouted at them: "Hurry up, I've been tied up, take me away quickly!"
The garrison officer didn't know what was wrong with the people in front of him, and he couldn't let them go no matter whether they were mentally abnormal or not. He and his team members tied up the players and took them back to the Duke of York's castle.
After the Duke of York heard this, he was completely confused. He had just gotten up when someone reported to him that people from the Free City of Victoria had arrived at his private property.
"Wait a minute, how did they get here without any warning?"
The Duke of York questioned the assistant here, and the assistant said calmly:
"They must have sneaked in under the guise of a caravan or something. Many caravans came here some time ago, but don't worry, Lord Duke, our spies in Goldshire have already replied to us. Just yesterday, there were many more
The Victorians are all in Goldshire, and it is impossible for them to arrive in our territory so quickly, so there should not be many of these people showing up, and they are probably just here to inquire about information. Please don't be nervous, Your Excellency."
The Duke of York nodded after listening to his assistant's words. It was indeed as he said. There were also a large number of people from the Free City of Victoria in Goldsmith Town. It was impossible for them to reach their castle so quickly unless they could fly.
Since there was nothing to fear, the Duke felt relieved.
He went to the prison to interrogate the captured scouts of the Free City of Victoria.
The arrested people from the Free City of Victoria were being tied to pillars with excitement on their faces. Their bodies had been scarred with whips and branding irons, but they did not feel any fear or pain.
The expression on his face made the guards around him a bit incomprehensible.
When the Duke saw this scene, he suddenly felt happy. As expected, as the slave trader said before, all Victorians, like A Fei, knew no fear or pain and were born slave warriors.
If I can defeat Victoria and let Victoria continue to produce slave warriors like this for me, I can form a powerful slave army. By then, not to mention other hostile dukes, even the entire kingdom may be able to join me.
Under his command, the Duke of York couldn't help but think of this.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to see an army of slaves completely loyal to him, walking in front of him with neat steps and shouting slogans, while his enemies and the high throne were all there.
The distant future falls into one's own hands...
Those slaves will fight and work hard for his dreams and goals. They will have no fear on the battlefield. All enemies standing in front of him will be torn apart by them.
He will sit on the throne and marry the princess of a neighboring country, and give birth to a lovely boy and a girl. His son will become his heir to the throne, and his daughter will be used as a political bargaining chip to form an alliance with another neighboring country.
When he has two very powerful allies, his kingdom and his allies will continue to attack other kingdoms and occupy more territories, and when he is strong enough, he can tear up his allies.
A treaty, an alliance with one, an attack on another.
When there was only him and another country in the whole world, it wouldn't be a big deal. At this moment, the Duke of York had already filled up his mind with about 2 million words of content about the kingdom's hegemony.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Just when the Duke of York thought about dominating the kingdom, the assistant beside him reminded him in a low voice, and then the Duke of York's spirit returned to reality. He nodded and looked at the prisoner looking at him.
The prisoner had green characters on his head. The Duke of York did not recognize him, but he knew very well that this man, like A Fei, came from the Free City of Victoria, because only people from the Free City of Victoria would wear such characters on their heads.
"Are you from Victoria?" Although it was already clear, the Duke still asked one more question. The prisoner in front of him nodded quickly, and then said:
"Yes, we are Victorians, you evil Duke of York."
Although the man in front of him was covered with bruises, the Duke of York still asked the people around him to continue beating him as punishment for spitting out the fragrance.
But the Duke of York did not see any expression of hatred or hatred or pain on his face. Most of the people he caught in the prison had such expressions towards him. It was the Duke of York who tortured the prisoners.
Things you like to do.
This was just the beginning. The Duke of York believed that he would be able to convince the slaves in front of him, although he did not convince A Fei.
"I think you may have made a mistake. I am not a cruel Duke of York. In fact, I am not only not cruel, but also very generous. Your former partner A Fei is living a very good life under my care. He
Not only has he become famous, but he also has food and drink every day. If he had no needs, I would even prepare to find a dozen women for him to make him happy and help him wash his clothes every day."
"Damn it, are you a little crazy? You found a dozen women just to wash A Fei's clothes, but I won't even do it to you!"
Just when the Duke of York said this, another prisoner on the side looked at him like he was an idiot and shouted.
The Duke of York suddenly became angry. He took an iron rod from the side and hit the talking prisoner's leg directly, breaking the prisoner's leg on the spot. The prisoner looked at himself and saw that it was broken.
legs, and looked at the iron rod in the Duke of York's hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"Damn it, you have a lot of violent tendencies. Is it really okay to have such an NPC in this game? Won't it be banned by the relevant departments?"
Just when the other player was just talking, another player next to him shook his body and reminded him, "Pay attention to the sense of immersion, otherwise our adventure mission will be gone. Do you want to be the second A Fei?"
?”
After the man finished speaking, the man whose leg was broken nodded quickly, and then began to howl, but halfway through the howl, he seemed to feel that his voice was not very professional, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Are these guys crazy? The Duke of York couldn't help but think so in his mind, but it didn't matter, no matter how crazy people were, he had also encountered them.
He continued to say to the prisoners in front of him:
"Well, I won't say much more. I just want to tell you. As long as you are obedient, I can give you everything you want. Of course, the premise is that I must first gain your trust and let us work together.
We can establish a credible relationship of friendship and cooperation, don’t you think?”
The Duke of York felt that he had a very kind smile. In fact, in the eyes of the players, the fat Duke of York smiled like a villain, but they did not say it, because no matter he is a villain or a decent person, as long as he can give them adventure
It doesn't matter whether it's a mission or not. After all, this is a game. It's not like reality, where everyone pursues justice. In the game, many people actually like to choose the evil camp.
If there was an option in the game, players actually wouldn't mind joining the Duke of York's camp, but there was no option.
They all have red names. Can you join the next camp?
This was obviously impossible, and when the Duke of York saw that the players in front of him did not answer his questions immediately, he felt that what he said was not particularly straightforward.
Then he continued:
"As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, then I will find you the best doctor to treat your wounds. Not only that, you will also become a member of my valet, and you will have the most luxurious house and food.
How about endless delicacies, and even a chance to obtain a territory and become a noble from now on? Is there anyone who wants to tell me about the free city of Victoria?"
The Duke of York had just finished speaking, and the players in front of him shouted:
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you!"
"Let me do this adventure mission, please!"
"Please, dads, let me"
But these people were so noisy that Duke York could only hear a few words occasionally, but could not hear any useful information. In Duke York's eyes, these people kept talking, but it seemed like they were mocking him instead of
Beg for mercy from yourself.
"That's enough!" The Duke of York slapped the table and said to the players in front of him: "If you don't want to cooperate and play tricks with me here, I will kill you all."
One player quickly said:
"My lord Duke, please don't be angry. These people are a bit confused. I am willing to cooperate with you. I will tell you now about the movements of those guys in Victoria. They have established a stronghold outside our castle."
After the player finished speaking, another player next to him laughed and said:
"Oh my God, you are too real. Is it already our castle? I will record it for you and put it on the forum. Believe it or not, you will be laughed to death."
Just as he finished speaking, another player next to him also said: "I am almost laughing to death now. You are jumping too fast. If you don't do it, I will report you. Stop messing around in Victoria."
Those people were talking here, but the Duke of York's face became increasingly livid.
The Victorians set up a stronghold outside my castle? How is that possible, this guy must be fooling himself! Or so the Duke of Date thought.
But he still suppressed his temper and said to the player speaking in front of him: "Please tell me in detail, how many Victorians are there, and how many Victorians have come to my place."
The player heard the Duke of York's question and quickly said, "Your Majesty, Duke of York, we have 5,000 players who are Victorians. They come here basically every day to build strongholds. I can give you the address outside your castle."
To you."
As soon as the player finished speaking, the Duke of York couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled out his long sword from the guard on the side and stabbed the player in front of him to death.
The other players looked at the Duke of York in confusion after seeing their friend who told the truth was stabbed to death. The Duke of York wiped the blood spattered on his face, and then said viciously to these players: "
This is what you get for deceiving me. You guys, don’t think that I am really easy to talk to. If you dare to deceive me again, I will kill you too.”
The Duke of York threw the weapon on the ground, and then said viciously to a player next to him, "How many of you Victorians do you think have come to my castle?"
The Duke of York had just finished asking, and the player immediately said:
"Five thousand! I can guarantee that when there is a real fight, five thousand people will be in your city immediately. You will definitely be dead. Believe me, let me go now. I will go to the forum to call people for you. Absolutely
Most of the people will be willing to join you. As long as you provide enough equipment and land, we will hang out with you!"
The player had just finished speaking when the Duke of York had already picked up another weapon and stabbed him to death.
Do you really think that I, the Duke of York, am stupid? Five thousand people can reach my castle in the blink of an eye, and I saw all of your people in Goldshire yesterday.
Of course, the Duke of York would not tell these players this kind of thing. After he killed the player who was teasing him, he took a liking to the third player next to him:
"Tell me how many of you are here. If you continue to lie, deceive and trick me, your fate will be the same as them. No, you will be even worse than them."
After the Duke of York finished speaking, the third player lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and faced the Duke of York and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
The Duke of York immediately said: "Of course I want to listen to the truth."
The player immediately said, "The truth is, there are only a few dozen of us in the forest. I believe no one will come to attack your castle. Those two guys just deceived you."
The Duke of York nodded. It seemed that he finally met a guy who was willing to tell the truth. He then continued to ask:
"Let me ask you again, when do you plan to attack the duchy? Do you have any detailed battle plan? Why are you here?"
After the player heard the Duke of York's question, he thought deeply for a moment, and then said: "My Lord, to be honest with you, we came all the way here to carry out Queen Victoria's order to build a stronghold here.
, and then collect intelligence, search for possible weaknesses and loopholes in the castle, etc., but we really don’t want to work for that poor and scumbag Queen Victoria anymore, we want to work for you. We are here to surrender to you!”
The player said it very sincerely. The "surviving" players nearby also immediately shouted: "Yes, yes! We came here to surrender!"
The Duke of York thought for a moment, and then said to the assistant beside him:
"This person can stay and continue interrogation. The other people will be detained first. If anyone is willing to cooperate, you can record what they say at any time. I leave it to you here. Their life and death is not important. What is important is that those who
In this way, all the Victorians in the woods will be captured, do you understand?"
The assistant nodded and then said: "I understand."
While the Duke of York was speaking, the two people tied to the pillars had been stabbed to death by him and began to slowly turn into magic power and disappear. This situation shocked the Duke of York. He had never
I have never seen anyone turn into magic and disappear after death.
Apparently no one else has ever seen this scene, but when you think about them being Victorians, anything that happens seems understandable. Maybe they are really a race blessed by the gods like some legends say.
But no matter what, the Duke of York has made up his mind to conquer them and use them as a tool for his own domination of the world.
The Duke of York turned around and left the prison. His heart was already full of ambition. For him, the Duke of York was just the first step for his dream to take off, and Victoria was the second step for his dream to take off. He would definitely defeat Victoria.
.
The Duke of York thought this way.
Just after they left, several prisoners in the prison all fell asleep. Of course, in the eyes of the guards, it felt like they had fallen asleep.
The jailers had never received such an insult before. They beat them desperately, but there was no reaction, just like A Fei once.
After those players went offline, the first thing they did was to post what they encountered on the forum, and also announced the possible ways to join the Duchy of York. In other words, if the players took the initiative to surrender, they might be able to join the Duchy of York.
Someone who can become the Duke of York, at least the Duke of York seems to want to do so.
Everyone knows that A Fei was able to encounter unexpected missions because he was caught in prison and became a slave. Then someone has been training him. Maybe players can continue to receive training after being captured, and they can also open hidden camps.
.
How happy it is to join the Duchy of York! Think about free mounts, free armor, free houses, food, and even the possibility of getting a few maids. Just like this, it feels like you have reached the pinnacle of life.
.
The Victoria players on the forum suddenly became excited. They rushed through the portal, and then went to the grove to look for patrols. The final result was that the entire grove was filled with players from Victoria Free City, and those who planned to go
The guards who arrested the Victorians in the grove were frightened by the crowds of people outside. They crawled back to the Duke of York's castle and reported the incident to the Duke of York.
The Duke of York had just returned from prison and was in his room, sipping tea and looking at the many messages that had just been sent to him.
As a result, he heard this shocking news. He held a sip of tea in his mouth and sprayed it on the face of the guard in front of him. He asked loudly:
"What did you say? Say it again."
The guard quickly said again:
"Your Excellency, all those Victorians are in the woods outside the castle."
The Duke of York couldn't believe it. He quickly left the room, walked to the balcony of the castle, and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw the darkness outside the small woods. The people outside the woods alone were...
There were estimated to be around a thousand people.
With so many people, could it be that what the two people who died in the prison said before were true? And the one who thought he was telling the truth was actually lying? But the intelligence received before was not like this. In the flash
Aren’t there a lot of Victorians in Jin Town? Why do they all come here? Can they really fly? It’s only taken a few days?
The Duke of York was a little unclear about what happened. He looked at the intelligence he had on hand. This was just sent back from Goldshire three days ago, and the intelligence showed that Victoria was haunted in Goldshire.
There are as many as three to four thousand people.
Originally, the Duke of York thought that his intelligence system would never go wrong and that this was genuine intelligence. But looking at it now, it is obvious that this is not the case. Those Victorians are already standing under their castle. Is it possible?
Is this still false?
He loudly ordered the guards: "Hurry up and tell the earls on the road to come to the castle as soon as possible to help us! Close the gate of the castle and never let them in!"
After the Duke of York said angrily to the guards, he went to the prison. He held a weapon in his hand. After entering the prison, he slashed the person who had given false information before and slashed the player in his sleep.
died.
It can be expected that when the player goes online again and sees himself resurrected, his expression will be very messy when they meet.
But that's not the only thing that surprised the Duke of York. The players outside the castle quickly came to the bottom of the castle in groups, and they could be heard shouting loudly: "Let us in quickly,
We surrendered, catch us quickly! Hurry."
The tone was full of anxiety.
Of course, not all of them were shouting to surrender. There were also people holding various objects and trying to climb the city wall. When the guards on the city wall saw the behavior of the Victorians below, they only had one thought in their minds.
