Chapter 128: Upstart (I)
Thousands of players quit the Profound World at one time, which is a major blow to the spirit of the players who exist in the Profound World, and it is also a major blow to the players of the Conquered City.
It's not like nothing like this hasn't happened in history, but it's a history that people are about to forget, because the nature of the two is very different.
There have been such heavy casualties in the past, but the troops of the three clans fought ineffectively on the front line and were besieged, and the three clans either used heavy profits, or coercion, or deception and other means to let the player go to the battlefield.
But this kind of thing is very difficult to happen now, and the large-scale expedition plans of the three clans have long been exhausted with the comfortable life.
This time is different, this time it is not an expedition against the undead, to attack the city at the forefront of the undead.
This time it's just an ordinary crusade mission, and the enemies are all players, and the whole army is wiped out? None of them have escaped!
This didn't happen even during the expedition.
What the hell is going on? What is the truth?
The truth, of course, can only be brought back by McCarthy! When the army is wiped out, the mission is gone, and Senel's death makes the deathmatch pattern he has developed die out.
Zhao Qi didn't have to be afraid of being killed and retreated to the Profound World, so he stayed in the cave, and McCarthy went back to report the news.
McCarthy did not return to the City of Conquest, but met two teams of Fallen Angels on the way. Naturally, a team was assigned to support and investigate.
The other team is naturally from the Senel family, after all, Senel has no heirs, only Senel and McCarthy.
If Senel is really dead, then...
Although Senel always claimed to be a nobleman, in fact, in the aristocratic circles of the conquered city, Senel's family was only a marginal nobleman.
It's also for what Senel desperately needs to go further, not just personally. Even the people of the family want him to go further.
As long as Senel can be promoted from the position of captain to squadron leader, then their family will follow suit and take another step towards the center of the noble circle.
Now that Senel is dead, there is no successor in the family, so someone will be sent to investigate what is going on.
They still have a little bit of hope, that Senel is safe.
It's a pity that the two teams met with McCarthy!
"McCarthy! How did you end up here? Aren't you the castle warden? One of the elderly, fallen angels, expressed deep suspicion of this chance encounter.
"Come on, take it for me!" The Fallen Angel, who is in charge of investigating the incident, waved his hand and ordered McCarthy to be captured immediately.
McCarthy had expected this situation for a long time, and Zhao Qi also mentioned it at that time, so many people, just the two of them went back. Suspicion is bound to arise.
Doubt is doubt, and the problem is not doubt, but value.
Only the two of them know the truth, and what they say to others can only be believed, as for other speculations and remarks. It's always just a rumor.
"My lord, I am not convinced! You can't do this to me. No! McCarthy gradually got into the play. In his heart, he is the hero of the entire Fallen Angel Clan.
He had brought back ten high-powered cannons made by ancient alchemists, which could shoot out scorching heat, but only the missing ancient gnomes could make them.
Although it is possible to make a high-temperature mineral body such as a burst bead, how to gather the high temperature and what form to emit. This is something that fallen angels can't figure out.
Moreover, the temperature is too high, and the barrel made of ordinary minerals has already turned into water before it is fired, and only the cold iron in iron ore can withstand such high temperatures.
This is also Senel's dedication to cold iron!
It's a pity that Zhao Qi didn't find it, but Zhao Qi probably determined that the cold iron should have been transferred. Transferred to the hands of another revolutionary.
Seeing McCarthy crying out, the fallen angel who came to investigate frowned, and the older fallen angel in the family was equally skeptical.
But I still have to give McCarthy a chance, if he kills him like this, he may not even have the truth.
"Say, how are you going to defend yourself?" The Fallen Angel in charge of the investigation shouted loudly, in fact, he was just trying to scare McCarthy.
He was wrong, even the undead dared to cooperate, and even his own brother dared to do it, McCarthy would be afraid of the scare?
"I don't defend myself, I leave my post without permission, I admit it!" McCarthy first conceded his mistake.
"Okay, then..."
"But, my lord, I have saved the precious alchemist high-energy cannon from the hands of the undead, isn't it enough to offset the merits?"
Hearing McCarthy's words, the fallen angels present asked in surprise, "High energy cannon?" A high-energy cannon made by an ancient pygmy? Where is it? ”
At this time, McCarthy said with a little resentment: "My lord, I am guilty, my lord should punish me!" ”
“... Okay, okay, such a miracle, what is guilty, take us quickly! ”
Yes, what is Senel, a squad leader like him is a cannon fodder level thing every year when he fights the undead.
What's more, Senel is still the kind of character who has no potential and has no hope of advancement, if it weren't for the violent reaction of the players this time, the above is also very suspicious, and even the investigation may not be investigated.
However, the Fallen Angel camp attaches great importance to the alchemy of the gnomes, especially when they discover the products left by the dwarf alchemists, they immediately forget about their own work.
Originally, he planned to go through the motions, and then find a reason to explain it.
didn't expect that there were still merits to be gained, and in an instant, McCarthy went from a prisoner to a hero.
The two teams rushed to the trough without stopping, and saw Zhao Qi sitting on the second floor, crossing Erlang's legs, and humming in his mouth: "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small Ding Ding, this is thick and long with Ding Ding, and that is short and thin with Ding Ding..."
However, the eyes of all the fallen angels were not staring at Zhao Qi, but at the ten high-energy cannons beside Zhao Qi.
I only heard the fallen angel next to McCarthy who came to investigate, laughing: "Good, good, good!" I won't forget your exploits, by the way, who is this man? ”
He looked at Zhao Qi suspiciously, it is said that basically all the players have withdrawn from the Profound World Realm, how can there be another here?
McCarthy paused, waved his hand to Zhao Qi, and said, "Don't come down and see the adults yet!" ”
Zhao Qi turned over and took a look, pretending to find that someone was coming, and immediately ran over and said with a smile: "I've seen all the adults, I've seen all the adults." ”
"Is he?"
"This man is my servant, and this time I went out of the city because someone wanted to be bad for my servant, so I came to see it."
"Oh?" Obviously, people don't believe it.
"My servant has offended a mercenary team in the city who is a little famous, and he has come to me very sincerely, offering all his wealth, hoping that I can save my life in this crusade. Your Excellency, you know—" McCarthy smiled, and the two exchanged words for a moment.
It seems that there is some deal in it, although Senel's death has not yet been clarified, but now the family generation is left with McCarthy.
The people who sent it naturally understood McCarthy's future status, and naturally they would treat it as if they didn't see it, no matter what they thought about it in their hearts.
The personnel who came to investigate were still a little difficult to deal with at this time, after all, Zhao Qi and McCarthy were too obvious.
McCarthy mysteriously pointed to the wrist wheel in Zhao Qi's hand, which was Zhao Qi's life-saving weapon, the elf's wrist wheel.
"Oh? The enhanced outfit of the elf clan, it seems that this person is also very good in the elf clan! Seeing the obvious elven equipment on Zhao Qi's wrist, the doubts in the heart of the fallen angel gradually eased.
can get the enhanced outfit of the elf clan, in his eyes, Zhao Qi is also a small master.
"My lord, this is actually the thing, we are fighting the rebels here, and the rebels have attracted a group of undead to join the battle somewhere. Of course, just when we couldn't support it, the great fallen angel Senel exerted his might and wiped out all the undead. But a few of the rebels escaped, so Lord Senel led everyone to continue the chase, and as a result..."Zhao Qi told the story that he had made up a long time ago.
McCarthy then said helplessly: "Big brother is chasing too deeply, he is already under siege when I arrive, I can only take my servant to go first." ”
Although the investigating Fallen Angel did not believe that McCarthy had no choice but to retreat and should have fled deliberately, these were not major incidents.
"At last time, I listened to my servant's story, and came here, only to find that the undead were carrying things here, and there was a fierce battle. We succeeded in defeating the undead, but we were afraid that the undead army would return, so I asked my servants to guard first, and I went to report the news, and then........."
