Today's forum was as lively as ever.

While there have been rumors among young players that a more convenient and accessible third-party platform is already in the works, the main channel left for players to exchange information is still the Real Otherworldly forum.

As more and more people enter the forum, what used to be only a few functional areas now has different sections.

There's the "Transencia Daily Morning News" dedicated to discussing game content and official update posts, the "Sunset Tavern" to discuss plot trends and game details, the Senate of Fort Torrent, the stronghold of RP parties, the "Brotherhood of Stonemason Propaganda Department" for craftsmen and manufacturing players, and the "MI8" for exchanging various military information and monster intelligence.

More than 2,000 players surf the forum every day, resulting in a huge amount of "spam" generated by this forum every day.

If Murphy needs to manage it manually, then the vampire lord basically doesn't want to do anything now.

Luckily, Murphy has an assistant, and Cui has fallen in love with the feeling of "surfing the Internet", and the best thing is that the Grand Duke of Blood Vulture is also a century-old otaku in "reality", which makes her spend a lot of time wandering around the forum every day.

However, today's forum swiped out a bombshell news in the afternoon, which came from a breaking information post posted by a player in the "MI8" section:

[A high-level elite monster has appeared in the smuggler's woodland! Our fleet suffered heavy losses! Brothers, come to your aid! 】

The guy who posted the post is called "Mountain Demon Bogang", and he has his own small guild "Demon Eight Masters Collection", which is not well-known in the player community but is very active.

The eight brothers don't know what they do in real life, and spend a lot of time surfing on forums every day, but they don't really have the time to play games and it's very irregular.

The post quickly gained traction, as her assistant Xiaocui marked it as a highlight post.

Half-loaded happy bar: [@山之恶魔波刚, I read the post, you just said that there was a group of jackals who were too big to be normal to attack the smuggler's woodland, but you didn't say the cause and effect, this game will not have that kind of inexplicable brush 'Martian soldier' situation, all random events have a cause and effect.

So I have to ask, what was the cause of this attack? Did you know? 】

Moon Demon Spell Blue: [, Brother Bang, we are players and not detectives, who knows why those crazy jackals attacked us. But new players working on quests in the Smuggler's Woods will already be being killed as pigs, riding ferocious wolves around and cutting down people on sight.

We can't escape.

The result of the detection of the Orb is 'invincible', come on! We can't stand it anymore, and if we continue like this, these crazy gnolls will be slaughtered into the Bloodclaw camp.

Doesn't it mean that the NPCs in this game won't be resurrected if they are killed?

If Chief Hogg is killed, won't the Bloodclaw Clan be doomed? This is a force that we players have personally supported. Scald! They've breached the sentry! The brutes of the Bloodclaw Clan can't stop them at all, they're about to collapse! Come on! 】

Reed Female Swordmaster: [@月之恶魔咒蓝, the Pride of the Silver Moon is approaching the smuggler's woodland, hurry up and report it!] 】

Frostclaw's Fang: [The Outpost of the Blood Rat Gang has received a call for help, and the NPCs and I are heading through the portal, so let's hold on. 】

Prodigal Son of the Border City: [The professional agent team of the Phantom Intelligence Bureau is rushing to the battlefield, brothers hold on, Lady Adele has triggered a random event here, and the support of our NPC is estimated to arrive soon. 】

King Meow: [We're too far away to join in the fun, but @bordercity prodigal, when will the prodigal brother join this organization that doesn't sound ordinary? ] 】

Frontier Prodigal: [Hey, our brothers are not only official agents of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau now, but are already going through the process of Sister E's warrior mission.

However, this organization does not accept ordinary players at the moment.,If you want to join us, you have to go through a 7-ring mission chain first.,I posted about the specific information before.。

Brothers who are not confident in their own stealth and tracking skills should not try.

All I can say is that the difficulty is quite high. 】

Traveling scholar Xiao Zhou: [! Sister E also opened a warrior recruitment? Wow, I lost five million, I like Sister E the most, I customized her pillow]

Mr. Ziwei: [The Intelligence Bureau is also recruiting logistics personnel, and the recruitment conditions for this position are quite relaxed, so if you are interested, you can also come.]

In addition to Sister E, Ms. Dorothy and Ms. Dinah have also started the recruitment of Warriors, and the quest line on their side is a little simpler than Sister E's, and there are enough places, so brothers who are interested in mixing up the title of 'Warrior' should not miss it. 】

Mountain Demon Bogang: [, brothers, don't talk!] I just came and barely killed one of the human bombs, and the identities of these gnolls have been figured out!

They are elite brute soldiers from the Biting Bone Clan, and according to the information given by the Orb of Calculations, these guys are from a place in the Filthy Swamp called 'Plague Town'.

How do I feel that this random event is a plot guide planted by the development team?

Is this going into the filthy swamp? 】

Lumina Imprint: [Brothers! Look what we hit! Item Links. 】

Precipitating Niu Niu is not afraid of difficulties: [?] The reins of the Pioneer Wolf? Blanching, it's the first time I've seen a Seiko quality mount, are you sure it's a monster to be killed? 】

Deadly Orchid Flower: [This thing has a very low drop rate, we just helped Hogg's guards repel a group of brutes before dropping one, and this was captured by Xiao Wei Ming when he flew fast and caught one end with a net when the wolf was escaping.

Brothers who haven't passed the trial of black iron, don't try it!

That wolf's attack power is super strong, and if you're unlucky, you can kill you in one bite. 】

The big pigeon in the lead: [Blanch! Drop the mount? Don't say it sooner! @猩红野兽团全员, let's go! Rush a wave. 】

Female Sword Master: [Good news! The Bloodpaw Clan is open to pets, and Hogg has somehow gotten a bunch of strange dead thieves. It is said that this thing can help thieves steal things, and the brother of the Blood Rat Gang doesn't rush in waves? 】

Pretend not to use your hands: [Xiao Weiming sent a screenshot, we are already on the way. 】

Seeing that the random events in the Smuggler's Woodland had fully mobilized the players, Murphy, who was hiding in the post and peeping at the screen, narrowed his eyes.

He began to ponder the logic behind the suddenness of the incident.

The conspiracy instinct from the vampire tells Murphy that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

"This may have been pushed by Hogg behind his back."

Murphy thought:

"But Hogg wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke a confrontation between the player and the Gnolls of Plague Town without my orders, and the fact that all the vanguard brutes of the Biting Bone Clan and the Gnoll Warlocks of the Plague Clan who appeared in the Smuggler's Woodland this time also illustrates this.

Why did Hogg do this? ”

He couldn't get an answer.

It wasn't until a few minutes later, when Murphy's gaze swept over the topographical map of Transencia on the wall, that he had a vague idea.

The area of the Smuggler's Woodland marked on the map is only one-tenth of the total area of Translasia, and even if there is a skeletal army harassing such a large area, there will not be many of them, not to mention that Hogg has exchanged the Command Scepter from the Gnolls of Plague Town to control the undead, and the last group of young players who entered the game have been moving around there.

It's been almost half a month!

With the enthusiasm of the players to clear the mission, the wandering skeletons of the entire Smuggler's Woodland are probably about to be wiped out by that group of guys, in other words, the "Novice Leveling Area" that Hogg is in charge of is no longer strange.

Thinking of this, Murphy confirmed eight points in his heart, and immediately contacted Miriam with the orb, asking her about the main activity area of the young players in the last week.

The Archon's answer was that 60% of the players were now farming the reputation of the Hillfolk tribe in Siko's territory and participating in the Outcast Raid, while the number of players near the Smuggler's Woodland had dropped by 20% in a week.

This statistic fits perfectly with Murphy's guess, and confirms that the Hogg dog thing is deliberately stirring up friction between the two sides in order to redirect the player's attention to the Smuggler's Woodland.

From this point of view, the origin of the "wolf" that Xiao Weiming just captured is very suspicious.

Considering the special relationship between the Pride of the Silver Moon and the Bloodclaw Clan, it is not clear that the "special drop" is that the girls are "playing a double reed" with the gnolls.

"Have my cute little players finally become a 'special resource' that can be fought for?"

Murphy figured out why, and was immediately angry and relieved.

Happily, Hogg's attention and attraction to players means that in addition to him, Triss and Maxim, other leader NPCs have finally discovered the value of the little players.

It's infuriating, Hogg's dog thing is quite flowery.

Aren't you the "false propaganda" thing?

The little players ran to the swamp to farm monsters in order to get the reins of the wolf, but they didn't drop anything, and when the time came, they blamed the development team, didn't they have to bear the consequences?

"Ding"

As Murphy pondered, the vibration from the Core Orb represented a request for private communication.

He looked down and saw that it was Hogg's request for communication, and Murphy answered the communication and heard Hogg tell him the cause and effect of the incident quite honestly and proactively.

Hogg begged for Murphy's forgiveness, saying that it had only realized it hadn't reported it up after it had done it, but the urgency of the situation had not allowed it to think too much.

"No matter how nice you say, it won't change the nature of your solo walk, Hogg."

Murphy said coldly:

"Because of your actions, I have to disclose the message of the Filthy Swamp to my warriors, and in my plan, they should now continue to contribute to the construction of Translasia. You did something wrong, so you must be punished!

Since you lure my warriors to the Smuggler's Woods with a wolf vehicle and from there into the swamp, I must keep their rights unharmed.

What you promise, you have to come up with!

At the end of this conflict, at least twenty Vanguard wolves will give back to my warriors as a reward, and if you can't do it, then they will come to you for 'begging'! ”

Hogg's heart trembled when he heard this.

Boy!

Where do the twenty Pioneer wolves let themselves go?

Isn't this going to kill you?

But soon Hogg's eyes rolled.

It suddenly remembered that the vanguard brute of Plague Town had a corral in which wolf cubs were domesticated for the brutes

But the warriors can't enter Plague Town yet, so they'll have to get their hands on their own. Cripple Paw is in need of test items to be vampire brutes, and the Gnoll Warlocks don't trust these biting brutes!

A vicious plan soon took shape in Hogg's mind.

It knew it was risky, and it might have to take a bad account of its own life in Plague Town, but Murphy wasn't bargaining with it anymore, and it couldn't let its image in Lord Murphy's mind become bad.

It's clear.

Master Murphy can 'make' a 'Hogg', he can make a second, he is not the only one, he is replaceable.

"I'll do it! Mistress Murphy, I will make amends to your warriors. ”

The Bloodclaw Chief gritted his teeth with a beastly state of mind and said:

"Please wait for my good news."

"Hmm."

Murphy responded coldly, then hung up.

He walked over to the map hanging on the wall and took a closer look at the current situation in Translasia, and after a moment of reflection, Murphy made a decision.

Now that the conflict between the two sides has occurred, there is no point in hiding it any longer.

It's time for your warriors to enter the filthy swamp in the truest sense of the word and start scouting and attacking the Plague Clan, the undead town is a nail that must be pulled out, and it doesn't make a difference sooner or later.

The construction of the Maginot Line is about to begin, and if the gnolls in the swamp are not routed, the construction of that line will definitely be disturbed frequently.

So, let the warriors who have been resting for almost twenty-five days set foot on the battlefield again, and leave the work of searching for the displaced to the novices who have not yet passed the trials of the black iron.

And in response to the fact that the "novice leveling area" of the Smuggler's Woodland has disappeared, Murphy also decided to make a little change.

He picked up the core orb and sent a message to the Blood Rat Gang:

"Dorothy, have your subordinates assemble in the sewers to scout the sewer undead cavern that has been sealed for a month, and I'm going to open it in two days. These ferocious undead hiding beneath the city are a problem, and these instability must be addressed before moving forward with the next step! ”

“？”

Lady Dorothy, the leader of the Blood Rat Gang, was stunned when she received the message from Governor Murphy, and she immediately responded:

"I can understand your handling of danger, but Lord Governor! There are nearly 10,000 dangerous ghouls in the underground caves, and the raid of the wolf venom clan has left 500 brutes in it, and they are estimated to have become one of those ghouls.

Such a large scale is destined to prevent us from attacking them with great fanfare, and the terrain there is too bad for a large army to deploy. ”

"Release them to the second floor."

Murphy whispered methodically:

"It's time to replicate the Ghoul Night, and with just 10,000 ghouls, it's a question of whether that makeshift 'leveling zone' will last a week for my warriors.

I never imagined that one day the mighty Transcia would bother me because there weren't enough monsters. ”

"My lord! Have you forgotten a place? ”

Dorothy said in a strange tone:

"There are many monsters in Translasia, and there are two or three hundred thousand undead sleeping in the ruins of Sico City alone.

Lady Adele had taken us on an adventure to scout over there, and we found that while the undead inside the city were extremely strong, the sheer number of skeletons, ghouls, wraiths, and zombies on the outskirts of the ruins was not as strong as a warrior could not fight.

My advice is that if you're worried that your warriors won't have a place to hone their skills, you're thinking too much.

As long as they are willing to fight, the land of Translancia will never lack enemies to train them. ”

"Well, Sico City is indeed a good leveling area."

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:

"Like a delicious pastry waiting to be tasted, it should last for months under the constant attacks of greedy adventurers, right? By then, the Black Plague will break out, and the entire continent will be filled with hostile creatures for a long time, and I won't have to worry about where my warriors are going to venture.

It seems that it is not a good thing that they are too efficient in killing.

In short, you need to get ready for the revival of the Ghoul Night event as soon as possible.

If you can, direct and act out a play to take the crisis onto the Plague Clans of the Filthy Swamp, and make the newly arrived warriors of Translancia realize that the threat from the Gnoll Warlocks is at our side.

I need to make them aware of the seriousness of this matter and prepare for the big operation into the filthy swamp.

Can I leave this to you? Dorothy. ”

"Piece of cake! Just watch me play. ”

Dorothy laughed and said:

"I haven't moved my body in a long time, and I'm going to go to the Filthy Swamp when I'm done here, and I hope your warriors can do as much as you expect from them, or I'll have to give up on my life in the swamp."

"They are omnipotent, Dorothy, and they have created miracle after miracle."

Murphy said in a firm tone:

"Nothing can stop their footsteps, just as nothing can stop us from following them, rest assured to do things boldly, their existence is our biggest hole card!"
