(-Add more for the "Huo Cheng is good" brother [19/20])

"The magnificent fate is always very heavy for the warriors, how can you be afraid if you want to take them to do real big things?"

Seeing that Murphy was still hesitant to use the cute little players to test psionic spells, Tracy suddenly rolled her eyes, and she emphasized:

"Some of their traits are simply tailor-made for the search for psionic truths, little Murphy, you can't dictate how your warriors spend their lives, that's what you say."

"But if you let them be your test subjects now, I don't dare to think about what you dare to let them do in the future."

Murphy complained a little.

He glanced at the slotted return scroll in his hand, and finally did not return it to Tracy, but put it in his psionic bag, and said to Tracy:

"They probably won't refuse this kind of consumables, and this time, I need at least 200!"

"Well, that's right."

Tracey nodded in satisfaction.

When her work here was over, she nodded goodbye to the administrators and went back to the Vulture Corridor under the escort of Bonnie the Maniac.

Maxim also has to discuss with President Natalie and Lady Leenia about defending the city, and Count André joins them.

Murphy didn't bother them, and he and Miriam and Professor Malcolm returned to the Executive Yuan in the outer city, reconnecting to Refnor's perspective on the way to observe the Gnoll vanguards.

After a few minutes, he withdrew his vision and said to the somewhat worried Scarlet Archon Miriam:

"The vanguard of chaos will be near the village of Morland in six hours at most, the witch hunters are retreating towards the Crimson Keep, and our lords who have migrated to the collective farms are retreating towards our city.

Once they all enter the Crimson Keep, the number of inhabitants will exceed 10,000 for the first time.

Therefore, you have to coordinate the order of the residents, Miriam, and put this 'Gnoll Siege' on the spot before the arrival of the black plague, so that they can hide in the safer sewers. The Vulture Corridor will also be opened as a temporary shelter if you need it.

Also, I need you to punish those executives who 'walked alone' last night!

While they did do a good job in the battle against the Wolf Venom Clan, I don't want this kind of 'subordination' behavior to become some bad tradition in Translasia. ”

"You have to look at it from another angle, Murphy, isn't this proof that the people have approved of your rule and the order you have brought? Your Lordship. ”

Miriam said in a long voice:

"They volunteered to fight. You have never seen His Excellency the Grey Beater and his foremen speak so eloquently before me, as far as I know, it has been rare in Transnesia for the last 400 years to ask for war on such an initiative.

I would punish the administrative officials who had gone alone and send them to the collective farms to organize the construction of the strongholds there, but I felt that we could publicize it from the other side.

For example, the bravery of the Translancians is reflected in the fact that even our civil officials are not afraid to fight to the death with the invading enemy.

Trust me, Mistress Murphy.

Our people will love this propaganda caliber.

Having a group of civil servants who are not afraid of death will make them proudly regard them as a kind of pride to boast about.

Oh, by the way, and one more thing, Knight Chauvin is back, his arms smuggling operation has been very successful, and just this morning, he escorted a batch of old supplies from the border guards of the Plantagenet Kingdom back to the city.

Not only did there be enough muskets and ammunition for the soldiers, but they even brought back 8 guns for us!

I don't know anything about this stuff professionally.

But I can tell that it should be a small-caliber field gun, and it is well maintained, and perhaps our soldiers should learn to use this technology from now on. ”

"It's good, even our chefs in Translancia are so martial."

Murphy said quietly:

"Give Chauvin and his brother-in-law more money, and I'll need them to make another trip to Cato and East Phorus after the Gnoll plague is over, and bring me more things like that, and tell the veteran riffraff over there that if they want to fight on their own to get a bite to eat, I'll be happy to hire them."

"With all due respect, my lord."

Professor Malcolm reminded at this time:

"I've traveled a lot, but no matter where you are, veteran ruffians aren't trustworthy guys, and they don't do what you want."

"It doesn't matter, as long as they come here, some things can't be left to them."

Murphy waved his hand casually, showed a hint of a smile, and said:

"We are vampires.

We have a lot of 'ancestor' old ways to cure their stinky problems, and I just need some professionals who know how to handle artillery.

After all, we Transansians don't like these fire-breathing things.

In the face of the Black Plague, I cannot refuse these advanced weapons, and I must make good use of the technological crystals of the halflings to arm my people and my soldiers.

But learning is also a process.

If the two of them have no doubts about the next task they will undertake, then everyone will act separately, and the next three days will determine the future direction of this land.

I can't assure you that if you cross this hurdle, you will be able to leap into the sea and let the birds fly.

But I can guarantee that if we get through it, a lot of things that could have been planned can be actually put into practice. ”

Miriam and Professor Malcolm nodded, they actually had a lot of problems, but they were too smart to bring them up at this time.

In the situation where the gnolls have already been overwhelmed by a large army and will be under the city for most of the day, all kinds of questions can only be asked at this time.

And Murphy's small but elite executive staff are smart.

After the two left, Murphy moved his body and returned to the Vulture Corridor to complete today's fencing training as usual and as necessary, and then returned to his office.

Count Cadman, who was full of confidence on the outside, would have his face fall.

He whispered and sat back in his chair, poured himself a glass of wine, and unbuttoned the first button under his neck, but before the wine could reach his mouth, a familiar voice sounded in the shadows in the corner of the room:

"Is it already stressful enough? It's rare for me to need a drink to relieve it. ”

Tracy stepped out of the shadows playing with her Grand Duke's scepter, carrying a bag of freshly made return scrolls in her hand, while Murphy put down his glass, and he lay down on the table and said to Triss in front of her:

"I'm not as nervous as you think, I'm just a little irritable, and it's a pity that Count Sico still hasn't responded.

I'm counting on this battle to see the legendary Sico hussars come into play.

If we have such a majestic and powerful mobile force, we will definitely have more advantages in the face of the Gnoll Gang. ”

"Well, they didn't come, but on the bright side, they didn't make a mess at least."

Tracey dropped the scroll on the table and pulled out her delicate elven flask, she sat down on the edge of her desk rather relaxed, twisted the lid and poured it into her mouth.

Then he stopped and looked down to see Murphy's restless hand resting on his calf.

"Are you looking for a little courage?"

The Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture asked softly, and Murphy replied with his eyes closed:

"If you'll give me a little courage."

He felt his fingers touch the smooth and slightly cold arc of his skin, and after a few seconds, he said:

"I have a doubt, it has nothing to do with the current situation in Translasia, I don't think I should think about anything else in this situation, but this question has always been in my mind.

Tracey, what the hell do you think Lord Pa Ying is up to?

He knocked old Edward and asked the bastard to give us a gift as a sign of reconciliation, which I can understand, it means that the Lord has used his power to provide us with a small refuge, at least until the outbreak of the Black Plague, we no longer have to worry about the threat of small actions from the Wolf Venom Clan.

But why did Pa Yingzun mainly send the blood-feared pirates who couldn't fight us to support us?

The two clans of the Blood Vulture and the Blood Dread didn't have much friendship in the past, right? ”

"Hmph, you're thinking too much, the Lord just wants to give those exiles a chance to return to the mainland, and the Blooddread Clan has probably been waiting for this opportunity."

Tracey leaned down and reached out to stroke Murphy's hair.

She whispered:

"Don't worry, little Murphy, you don't need to think about these things, it's a vampire affair, it's within my purview, so I'll take care of those guys for you

And if your hand reaches into my skirt a little more, I'm going to beat you.

Gentleman, boy! ”

"Who just said you were going to give me a little courage? Trying to play the goddess of victory is just the beginning, you are really a cunning witch, Tracey. ”

Murphy pursed his lips and leaned back in his chair.

He closed his eyes and tapped his lips as if expecting something, and Tracey looked left and right, leaning over with a helpless expression and pecking lightly at the corner of his mouth, but when she tried to pull away, she found that Murphy's hand had already grabbed her waist.

The power bound her.

"Just stay with me right here."

Murphy whispered and pretended to be pitiful:

"You see, I'm going out to fight, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back alive this time, if you're a little bit off when you cast the spell at night in three days' time.

Maybe I'll be thrown into the astral plane.

Truth be told, Trace, I think we're crazy to try to find a victory by bombing our own territory, and that victory won't help us much.

On the other hand, if we lose, then everything we have worked so hard to build will disappear in an instant.

I don't know if the other lords have had that hard to open up their territories, but I'm sure they're not as difficult as I am.

Alas, this ghost game is really too hardcore. ”

"There's never been a legend that has been created casually, and there has never been a nation that can be built easily, and you've done a great job, Murphy."

Tracy whispered in his ear:

"Do you need more courage? Little Murphy, let go of your heart and let me hear what you think right now. ”

"You're going to be angry"

"I won't, believe me, I'm going to play your goddess of victory, and I'm not going to leave you here at the beginning, good."

"Okay."

Murphy removed the protection of his mind, exposing his voice to Triss's ears.

The Grand Duke of the Vulture let Murphy take her into his arms, so that she could place her head on Murphy's heart, and she listened to the voices that came from her heart, the scattered thoughts that beat above Murphy's heart.

The good news is that the lord isn't as stressed as she thinks, and the bad news is that Murphy's part of her imagination is really embarrassing.

"It's so unseemly!"

Tracy glared at Murphy fiercely, and the lord shrugged.

He had said before that Triss would definitely be angry, so he was going to explain it a little.

But in the next moment, the 450-year-old vampire lady in her arms rolled over and sat on Murphy's lap, and she looked at him condescendingly.

Murphy was a little intimidated.

Then he saw Tracey ruffle her long hair, hold his cheeks with both hands, lift the handsome face, lean down and kiss the lips so actively for the first time.

This sudden enthusiasm startled the vampire.

But that's not a bad thing for him, as Triss says she's going to play the goddess of victory, and Murphy finally understands what Triss means.

Emmmm。

It seems that now he really needs a little "courage".

And there is more greedy desire, and as before, the clever Tracey always knows very well how to encourage the little man in the family.

The Count's hand became less gentlemanly under this plausible "encouragement", like a daring adventurer who crosses the snow-capped mountains, walks across the plains, and marches along the darkness to the fabled forest.

In the past, such exploration was clearly not allowed.

But this time it seemed that the Goddess of Victory had made a small exception for him, and he was able to caress the porcelain-smooth skin when he was not stopped.

This was the first time Murphy knew that vampires would also tremble and breathe heavily from the touch.

"Stop!"

After five minutes, Tracey pressed Murphy's overly exploratory hand, straightened up and straightened up her messed clothes, looked at him condescendingly again, and said:

"Greedy imp! Are you willing to take the victory you have to win for your Grand Duke now? ”

"I feel like you're a legendary succubus, tempting me to do something dangerous, but it's not impossible to talk about if it's a deal of courage.

If you're willing to give me a little more."

Murphy shrugged.

With a wicked smile on his handsome face that only he could have when he was alone with Tracey, he grabbed Trace's waist and flicked the neckline of his blouse quite lightly and boldly, leaving the black garment open in front of him, and then kissed him lightly on the delicate collarbone in front of him.

But it didn't go any further.

The force of Tracey's fingers clenching his wrist meant that she was clearly not ready.

Murphy also seemed to regain his gentlemanly demeanor, and he whispered:

"I'll conquer the whole world for you, my Trace."

"Oh, man."

Tracey pursed her lips, but she didn't push him away, just opened her arms and gently hugged his head, and whispered:

"I will stay at the Crimson Keep and wait for your triumphant return, as you said, we still have a long and eternal life to understand each other and enjoy that company and hug.

I know you're not going to stop here, and you're not going to be defeated by a bunch of stupid and savage gnolls, and I know that Transencia is just your starting point.

And I'll accompany you to the end.

Murphy

I swear, I'll be with you. ”

"So, are you finally willing to admit that you like me too? Timid witch-sama? ”

"Well, I just like it, and if you want to win the witch's love, you may have to work a little harder, little Murphy."
