At the same time that the "Report on the Situation in the Filthy Swamp" was posted on the forum, several forces under Murphy's command related to the Filthy Swamp incident began to be active frequently.

Needless to say, Hogg's smuggler's woodlands are the most closely associated with the filthy swamp.

The Bloodpaw Chieftain had completely cut off contact with the town after the last wool he had scavenged from Plaguetown, and he had begun to share all the information he had gathered about the swamp with the student party who had been operating in the vicinity for a long time, almost half-selling, half-giving away.

Speaking of which, the student party has taken a lot of luck this time.

When they captured the corpse witch Bella before, they were sure that there must be a big hidden plot in the filthy swamp, so they decisively used the smuggler's woodland as the temporary base camp of their "Crimson Beast Regiment" guild.

They had been preparing for this plot before, no longer relying on luck alone, but relying on the experience they had learned during this time, and during this time they continued to collect the materials needed for long-term activities in the swamp.

Even more than a dozen boxes of alchemy potions to prevent mosquito bites were stored, and when they decided to act, all the guys in the student party who had the profession of psychic master, regardless of their rank or rank, had at least one command scepter on their bodies.

As the leader of the student party, the leader of the big pigeon has achieved the first "Friends of the Blood Claw" achievement in the game.

As the first person to bring the prestige of the Bloodpaw Clan to worship, the Good Pigeon was gifted by Chief Hogg and rode the cool skeletal horse that Master Murphy had ridden.

The rest of the team has also been replaced by majestic wolves to ensure their speed in the swamp.

While the other teams were still preparing to advance, the student party had followed Hogg's hand-drawn map to reach the forward post belonging to the Bloodclaw Clan in the Filthy Swamp.

Of course, it was the vampire vanguard who nominally drove out the weak bloodclaw gnolls and succeeded in capturing the gnolls' sentry, after all, although everyone in the player camp knew that Hogg had been a dog for Master Murphy, and even Colonel Fraser of the Plantagenet Kingdom knew about it, the superficial disguise still had to be done.

If the news of the reconciliation between the vampires and the gnolls comes out at the moment when the Black Plague is about to break out, it will definitely cast an undue shadow on the current stable and good situation in Translasia.

Of course, the Student Party may be fast, but that doesn't mean they have a head start, as the situation in the "new map" of Filthy Swamp is different from all the areas that players have visited before.

It's just too big!

The entire filthy swamp is located in the middle of Transencia and the Dark Mountains, and counting the small unknown area of the Swamp Forbidden Land, the current proven area is a little larger than the entire Translancia, even if it is only the undead activity area near Plague Town, which is equivalent to the entire Dark Barony.

Such a large swamp plays an important role in the ecological system of the entire continent.

The Church of Avalon is not preaching fear by claiming that the Filthy Swamp will have a devastating effect on the ecology of the entire continent if it is polluted by the forces of Hades, and this is the conclusion reached by several of the Church's master witch hunters after repeated discussions.

Avalon will not sit idly by and watch the filthy swamps be overrun by nature's enemies, which would mean the beginning of an ecological catastrophe.

"That's too hard, isn't it?"

On the watchtower of the empty but intact Gnoll Sentry, the good pigeon looked sadly at the swampy hinterland ahead of him that exuded a strange smell and a green scent.

The naked eye could see that there were wandering undead wandering back and forth in the muddy field in the distance, and he held his psionic staff and complained to Ah Ru beside him:

"Although Hogg told me not to divide the troops before leaving, it wasn't until I really saw the situation that I realized that the dark line buried by the development team was too big! It's not something we can do as a guild at all.

The simple idea that we would attack the Yellow Dragon now seems a bit naïve, and we still have to find someone to cooperate, otherwise we won't even be able to get close to the outer defense line of the Jackals, let alone attack Plague Town. ”

"What game have you seen where a new map update can be nibbled on by a player guild? Probably no one but you thinks we'll be able to push this place flat.

Peace!

We just need to maintain our advantage over the other guilds. ”

As before, Aru was a general, and while he soothed the restless pigeons, he opened the swamp map he had obtained from Hogg.

This was a "high-end item" that they had only bought after they had brushed the Bloodclaw Clan's prestige into worship, and Hogg had marked all the information it had found on it, so that the student party would avoid most of the troubles that would occur in the swamp by following the map.

The terrain of this swamp is quite complex.

In many places, there are forks in the road and even "death swamps" that are impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, just like sand pits, if you stumble into them, you don't want to climb out again.

"Judging from Hogg's private map, there are three directions in the terrain of Plague Town, which is guarded by different forces under the command of the Gnoll Warlocks, and we must choose one."

Aru said to the good pigeons:

"We don't have enough manpower to attack all the defenses at the same time, I guess that's what the development team thinks, in such a large and complex new map, players who want to participate in the main story of attacking Plague Town must first choose an attack route.

There is also a battle report posted by Fa Ge on the forum.

In addition to Lord Murphy, there are a total of eight factions that will appear in this big plot, and I estimate that at least one faction in each attack route can choose to contact and get assistance.

According to the general game flow, we must cooperate deeply with the forces of our choice to make it possible to advance the plot of the three lines at the same time. ”

"Hmm."

The good pigeon nodded, and he said:

"So, the perfect situation is to press the situation to the most favorable situation for us with the joint assistance of our respective support forces, and then we players will attack Plague Town and destroy those gnolls warlocks in one go?"

"Theoretically, this is true, but since there are three fronts, there must be fast and slow. According to the intelligence level of the NPCs in this game, if they also participated in the siege of Plague Town, then they will definitely have to share the loot afterwards.

If all eight prestige forces are involved, then even if we capture Plague Town, the benefits we can reap from it will already be divided to the most basic level. ”

Ah Ru put away the map, thought about it, and said:

"So I think it's actually a hidden 'challenge mode'!

Although the development team did not explicitly say this, they definitely set up this plan, that is, players on one front advanced quickly, faster than the other two fronts, and attacked Plague Town without relying on the leadership of NPCs to complete the destruction of the Plague Clan alone.

It's incredibly difficult, but if we do, the rewards are absolutely amazing.

There is absolutely a minimum of one player stronghold! ”

"Whew, I know, I know."

The good pigeon suddenly realized, and he concluded:

"It's Icecrown Fortress's progressive buff mechanic, the all-status Haka and Yogsaron's Zero Light Challenge, and this development team really does something new every time. However, according to the strength of the players now, it is basically impossible to do this without the participation of NPCs in the whole process.

Even if we had all the player guilds in one place, we wouldn't be able to do it. ”

"Hey, we are still too few, and our strength is still too vegetable! It's all because the development team is reluctant to bring in people on a large scale. ”

Ah Ru hammered the railing very unpleasantly, he stared in the direction of Plague Town, and said:

"We only have less than two hundred Black Iron Warriors at full now, and if we have five hundred Black Iron Players, we can push it over, but in any case, if we want to maintain the highest profit, we must try to avoid NPCs participating in the strategy operations of Plague Town on a large scale.

You'll have to go to the forums and talk to the guild leaders of the other guilds, and although everyone is in a competitive relationship, you still need to reach a consensus on some key things before you can act.

In addition, it is necessary to say in advance the ownership of the three fronts!

The previous two regiments were all on the same page, and the final equipment and benefits had to be equally divided, although there was nothing wrong with dividing them equally, but wouldn't it be beautiful if they could wrap up their own round?

This time, it's a dungeon strategy battle!

Each guild takes turns!

In the end, if you really can't take it, let's talk about the matter of everyone working together. ”

"Good! I'll go. ”

The good pigeon immediately grabbed the communication orb and entered the forum, and Aru himself spread his wings and flew down the watchtower, relaying his thoughts to his companions who were preparing below.

Of course, a few guys in a dormitory have no opinion, they are all old players who have long been eager to make a career, and the new student party of the game is also eager to try, gearing up, and the honest dog who just passed the black iron trial last week also proposed:

"Now that our Scarlet Beast Regiment's rating has also reached level 2 and we have the right to recruit independently, I don't think the scale of this activity will end for a while, so it's better to take this opportunity to engage in 'big training'!

I and four traveling scholars recruit alumni offline, and let them take advantage of this new plot to hone in the game, I guess this is the last big event before the arrival of the Black Plague, and when they come in and practice, they can shine and add glory to us in the Black Plague. ”

"Okay!"

Ah Ru nodded, and the shrimp catcher with a big axe on his back next to him also raised his hand and said:

"How many people can we find in our school?

Now it's a war, and I need those good brothers who can fight online, so I will go to the sports school in the college town after I get off the line tonight, and I also have a few good brothers there, and they train every day, and they are so energetic that they have to learn to bark at a donkey.

I'm looking for the backbone of their student union over there, and pull a group of strength animals in to strengthen their momentum.

The people at the sports school are really 'good soldiers', and they are all precipitating the party. ”

"Hmm."

Ah Ru thought this was a good idea, and at this time, the chariot sitting cross-legged in place and recording today's spell book shook his head and said:

"We still have to choose the best of the best, even if we reach the second-level guild, there are only a dozen or twenty places that can be allocated every week, so we have to have a 'martial arts competition' offline! We need those who can work as soon as they come in, otherwise the lead we have won so hard will be spent on cultivating new people.

It just so happens that the 'Great Love Saint' Niuniu can't be on the line these days? Let him go to the sports school to 'kick the gym' and get a group of new forces for us. ”

"Good, good, that's a good idea!"

Ni gave Luda oil and Khaki Toni so much that they were going to laugh crookedly.

They thought the idea was a great idea, but after a little bit of a mix of them, they came up with the idea:

"Not only offline, but also online, since this is a guild war, then not only a few big guilds, but also small guilds will definitely participate. It is impossible for us to occupy all of the fronts, so we must draw in advance those small guilds and scattered people who have a good relationship with us to form a united front.

Needless to say, the stonemason brotherhood where the scholars belong is their own brother, and I think the 'Demon Eight Masters Collection' can also be pulled in!

Isn't Brother Dog their counterpart?

Go and walk around.

Their evil path doomed them to not work well with Brother Meow's witch hunters and Brother Bang's army, but we are vampires.

The natural midnight creatures are the perfect match for these sorcerers. ”

"Well, those eight teases are actually quite interesting, and I don't think they will refuse. In addition to them, the Shadow Trace Sect can also cooperate, don't we have several members among them? ”

The honest dog smiled and pulled down his hood, and raised the Soul Reaver Scythe in his hand, and the four elite skeleton armies beside him immediately escorted him to his feet.

Hey, that's what you want.

"Yes, the Shadow Trace Sect also needs to be wooed, I heard that Brother Cat and that Uncle Yang have an exclusive mission in the swamp, I don't think they will refuse to cooperate with us."

The plan has been decided, and now it is only left to be executed, and Ah Ru took his good brother Gugu Chicken into the swamp first to find out the situation on the front.

His heart is full of fire, as a young person is not arrogant, it is simply ashamed of this good time, they have to do a good job this time, to show those people in society the real strength of the "future flowers of the motherland".

——

While the student party was acting, the other guilds were not idle.

They didn't focus on Hogg's Smuggler's Woodland, which led to their falling behind at the start of the event, but it seems that this backwardness is acceptable for now.

After all, the development team has not officially announced the specific content of this big event, and maybe there are surprises waiting for you later.

Temporary backwardness doesn't mean anything.

In this 100% realistic world, walking fast is not an advantage, walking steadily and being able to reach the end smoothly is considered a success.

Not only did the student party realize the necessity of guild cooperation, but Happy Stick also wanted to unite its "traditional allies" from the beginning, but this time the situation showed some subtle waves.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'comparing one by one' this time? Do you have any other partners out there? ”

In the barracks next to the trenches of the Dark Barony, Brother Bang, who had just been sucked by Meria's blood and was still weak, stared at Brother Meow, who was sitting opposite him, and the latter drank tea and said in a long voice:

"It's literal, our Big Bird Regiment won't cooperate with you this time, we plan to go it alone. The information that Pigeon Bo just shared on the forum is very interesting, and if it is to be divided into three fronts in the future, I plan to 'contract' one of them this time.

Brother Bang, your guild is currently the first guild in Translasia, and we don't need a little bit of us to deal with a front on our own.

I'm not going to join in the fun with you. ”

"Damn!"

Brother Bang was not angry.

He and Brother Woo Meow have known each other for a day or two, and he knows that this guy is ambitious, but he stared at Brother Woo Meow and said:

"How many of you are there? It's a bit too big to want to eat the next line alone, right, are you united with other guilds? ”

"Well, Lady Water has reached an agreement with me on behalf of the Silver Moon Regiment, and we will win a battle line together."

Brother Woo Meow did not hide it, he said:

"The map of the Filthy Swamp is too big, and I consulted with Grandma Marianne on the way here, and she told me that although the Filthy Swamp is not the preferred terrain of the forces of nature, the Swamp Power is also a branch of the Divine Psychic Power, and the warriors of the Church of Avalon can get some natural enhancements in it.

And something that grows in that swamp is of great benefit to our natural path.

The Water Lady guesses that once we take Plaguetown, it will become a permanent unit similar to a colony.

At present, Governor Murphy still has a stronghold in his hands that has not been decentralized, and my opinion with Lady Water is the same, Plague Town is very likely to be the third stronghold, we can't give up such a big benefit, this is not the time to say years of friendship, Ah Bang. ”

"But even if you unite, there are still not enough of them!"

Happy Stick frowned and said:

"Unless you recruit NPCs, but that means you're going to have to cut up a portion of the loot, unless you wait! The Riptide Knights are standing with you, too? ”

"Ha, that's smart."

Brother Meow grinned and said:

"The knights of Tempal have a quantitative advantage, and we have a quality advantage with the Silver Moon Group, and the cooperation between the three parties can maximize the benefits, so Brother Bang, we will be competitors next.

Let's see who's better!

Let's see who can be the first to plant their flag on the tower of Plaguetown!

I have a hunch that NPCs won't be too involved in this big event, and this is a stage specially reserved for us by the development team! Now it's time for us Exotic Warriors to perform a victory dance for Translasia. ”
