446. Hey, now it's finally NPC's turn to lick us-[Plus 13/25]
(Add more for the "Blue Eyes" brother [3/5])
The event release from the main NPC Governor Murphy is like a thunderbolt, completely igniting the player's interest and desire in this matter.
In particular, the upcoming Hall of Fame feature and its low-key but useful rewards have drawn manufacturing and executive players who weren't originally going to be involved in the whirlpool. It can only be said that there are really clever things hidden in the development team, and they really know how to effectively incite the passion and desire of the players.
Almost in the afternoon of the same day, the five collective farms currently run by the player have all chosen their own teams.
The two villages of Treasure Bay and Lion King's Pride repeatedly compared each other after urgent consultations, and finally chose to support the Crimson Hammer Scythe, which is currently the strongest and most victorious.
In this regard, Brother Bang's mouth couldn't close when he smiled.
These two villages are currently two of the richest of the five villages, and their support means that Bang Ge does not need to worry about logistics and supplies in this big incident.
The Novice Village of Tepal has rightfully supported the Riptide Knights, and the first phase of herb cultivation on his side has already borne fruit, and although it is not very rich, the results of this collective farming are still amazing, which has allowed players in the southern defense line to be fairly well supplied with potions and scrolls.
In the remaining two villages, the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, which is run by the brick movers, and the "Lost Island", which is run by the traveling scholars, naturally supported their student party brothers.
However, these two villages are the weakest of the five, and they can provide the least support.
This makes the good pigeons a little anxious.
But fortunately, the arrival of the super-powerful Shadow Sect allowed them to win back a game in terms of quality, and they were well prepared in advance so that they had already started the strategy of the western front while others were still preparing.
At the same time as the announcement of the event trigger was issued, the fierce Aru and Coo-Coo Chicken and Meow Shark had already taken down the second outpost occupied by the Skeleton Army.
After the strategy of the Gnoll Warlocks contracted, it was difficult to call these skeleton troops the "elite" who remained in the sentry posts in the swamp, and it was not surprising that they would be pulled out twice in a day under the ferocity of the vampire players.
According to the plan of the dog-headed military advisor Ah Ru, they will get three sentry posts and build another forward camp before going off the line tonight.
However, at the same time as the student party marched into the swamp with great momentum, Ah Ru, who led the team, suddenly received a message from the good pigeon in the rear, which made him frown.
"Colonel Fraser sent someone?"
Ah Ru whispered:
"These Plantagenet Kingdom bastards will burn incense if they don't cause trouble for us, they say there's a camp in the western part of the swamp near Cato, but it's really just starting to be built, right? Many of their soldiers were entering the swamp for the first time, so they couldn't help at all!
Damn, compared with us, the other two fronts are simply a heavenly start. ”
"No, no, don't be so discouraged, Rubao, we still have a hidden support force."
While directing his four fat hyena pets to scatter through the swamp in search of possible enemies, Meow Shark said to Ru:
"Don't forget, our side is very close to Hogg's clan, and Hogg knew the situation there very well when he was lurking in Plague Town before, and we have brushed the prestige of the Bloodclaw Clan to worship, and we have a battle horn for each person.
As long as we need it, Hogg can even offer Gnoll warriors to join us directly in the fight. ”
"They're a."
Ah Ru shook his head and said:
"The local gnolls are far inferior to the gnolls of the Dark Mountains in terms of physique and strength, and you don't know what happened in the smuggler's woods last time, a dozen brutes scattered Hogg's brute army, although they are all called gnolls, but they are almost like two creatures.
Wouldn't it be death to let the blood-clawed gnolls fight?
What Hogg can provide is intelligence support, and at most there is a large supply of war materials, such as the Scepter of Command, etc.!
Hogg has a lot of command scepters in his hands!
Yes!
How did I ignore this? Oops, that's so undeserved! ”
Ah Ru slammed into his head, he turned around and grabbed the orb and sent a message to the chariot guarding the guard post he had occupied earlier:
"Che Che, you immediately take the dog to the Smuggler's Woodland, and the Demon Eight Masters will be almost there, and buy some command scepters from Hogg in your name. They're all psionics, let them come to the front with their scepters!
If we don't kill these wandering skeletons, how long will we have to kill them?
We use the Scepter of Command to interfere with and control them, and if we can't turn them back, we can drive them out of the war zone.
In this way, we can move forward very quickly.
Even when the other guilds enter the swamp, we'll be able to advance to the vicinity of Plaguetown. ”
"Damn, you're such a clever little ghost!"
Che Che retorted loudly over there:
"But you can't kill them by just driving them away with the Scepter, it's opportunistic, and once the war is over, the undead scattered and uncontrolled will be a nuisance to us.
We'll have to clean it up then."
"More on that later! Do you want to qualify for the Hall of Fame? ”
Ah Ru spread his wings and flew backwards, and said:
"Besides, where is there a suitable place for newcomers to level up in Transncia now? No, no, even the elite ghouls in the city's sewers are almost gone. After the development team, we have to get a place for novice leveling.,If you want me to say what I'm doing with that thing?
Wouldn't it be nice to scatter these mediocre skeleton armies and throw them into the swamp and let them wander, and then the newcomers will come in and go directly to the swamp to level up and open the map?
Anyway, the Black Plague will come after that, and it would be good if these skeletons could block for an extra minute or two. ”
"Awesome, I think you should join the development team, your idea is completely in the shape of the development team."
Che Che complained and said:
"Okay, I'll go over now, let's follow your method first."
"Hmm."
Ah Ru answered and cut off the communication.
He scurried through the corrupt scent of the swamp and the low jungle, and soon returned to his former abandoned gnolla stronghold, only to find several well-equipped Pioneer Rank Commanders brushing their boots in the camp.
The shiny boots were stained with mud after entering the swamp, and even the beautiful uniforms of the gorse soldiers were covered in filth, and they were suddenly reduced from proud and gorgeous commanders to the level of sloppy vagabonds.
The military reform of the Plantagenet Kingdom does not seem to have been carried out thoroughly, and these commanders are not killing themselves in order to let the soldiers see that they are adorning their military uniforms one by one with conspicuous pendants and lying on the battlefield?
That is, there are no full-time snipers in this era.
Otherwise, it's really the sixth ecstasy.
When Ah Ru walked over while complaining, he also heard these junior officers cursing loudly about this damn swamp, and the little players who looked like rich and noble children shook their heads again and again.
I have long heard that this military observation team is composed of the children of the military nobles of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and it sounds like it is coming to Transncia to gild, but now it looks like it is true!
The shoes are stained with mud and complain like this, and if you really encounter a big and fierce gnoll, you won't be scared down?
What can they be expected to do?
With such contempt in his heart, Ah Ru walked quickly into the gray tent where Pigeon Bo was, only to see Major Ron arguing with Pigeon about the war situation.
"No! It just doesn't work! You can't say anything! ”
Pigeon Treasure raised his head and said with a resolute face:
"This is the war of our Transansians, and it is not yet your turn to go back and forth on our land with the soldiers of your Plantagenet Kingdom.
Your mission is to support us! And the support we need now is that you take your young master soldiers to stay in your camp and don't make any that we need to help with!
If you don't feel comfortable with this, you can complain to Governor Murphy and Archon Miriam.
It's useless for you to talk to me about this here, and I can't get you to join the fight.
I don't have that permission. ”
Hearing this, Ah Ru knew why this Major Ron was here.
It seems that these soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom are okay, and they dare to take the initiative to ask to participate in the battle, not a group of eggless guys.
But Pigeon Bo's answer is also correct.
Unless they are too many players to resist, NPCs cannot actively participate in the battle, which will weaken the player's control over the battle line and affect the distribution of loot later.
Governor Murphy has said that this big event is a stage for the brave of the other world!
This time it's completely player-led in this war, so you NPCs should stay where I am.
But the shrewd and sleek Ah Ru rolled his eyes, Pigeon Bao's decisive refusal is really shameless, this kind of thing of refuting other people's face can be said from another angle.
So Aru smiled gently, and sat down beside Pigeon and Major, and said:
"I probably know that you and your soldiers are eager to fight, but your camp near the swamp is not yet ready, even if we allow your soldiers to participate in the fierce battle in the swamp.
You see, you don't even have a big battalion in the rear, and it's a problem to even retreat if you're in trouble.
And judging from the performance of several officers outside the tent, they are not yet mentally prepared for the swamp battle.
I mean, mud-stained boots can kick an enemy's head, so you don't have to wipe them clean, do you?
And don't you have to walk this dirt road when you go back? ”
"It's not that we're stupid, it's that the Pioneer Corps is like this."
Major Ron said discouragedly:
"The marshal always asks us to be of good shape in all circumstances, and of course, I don't deny that we didn't expect our first battlefield in Transncia to be a damn swamp."
The young major, who was born in the gate, glanced at his muddy boots, and complained with a desperate expression:
"Fraser is going crazy now, he's got a habit of cleanliness.
However, these are problems that can be overcome by will, and I want to convey to both of you that while our camp is still under construction, we don't intend to miss this battle with the Dark Plague Vanguard!
We've learned from General Maxim about the size of the enemy, and IMHO, even if your team is made up entirely of vampires and sorcerers, you're still at a disadvantage when it comes to them.
You need our help! ”
"Our companions are already on their way."
Ah Ru and Pigeon looked at each other, and he took over and said:
"I don't think we're going to need help from foreign soldiers, but we do have a small number, so we can consider handing over the sentry posts we've taken down to you guards.
Don't think it's easy.
The swamp is now full of skeleton armies awakened by the gnolls, who are not strong individually but are extremely numerous, and once the outpost is besieged, it means that you need to stay there until reinforcements arrive.
I'll be honest, it's a very dangerous job!
And we don't have a good understanding of your strength, I don't know what level you are?
I doubt that you will be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”
"Are you doubting the gorse?"
Major Ron, enraged by the arrogance of the young vampire in front of him, said in a deep voice:
"I've heard for a long time that you Transansians are a fierce bunch, and the only language you can understand is fists, so if we want to win your approval, do we have to knock you over?"
"Ha, there's no need to be so extreme, and I don't think we're going to lose if we beat our fists and kicks."
Pigeon Bo stretched out his hand and pressed it, and he said meaningfully:
"But you're right, the Transans never fight with cowards! If you want to prove that you and your soldiers are worthy of the swamp battle that is destined to go down in history, show us the real thing.
We've now laid two sentry posts, and you and your soldiers are going to guard there.
I don't need you to keep it too much!
For one night, as long as you can hold out under the siege of the Skeleton Army, we will grant your request to join the battle and give you the responsibility of ensuring that the logistics and roads are clear.
What do you think?
Major Ron, do you dare to make this bet with us? ”
"Two sentry posts, one night, right?"
The major stood up and said with a decisive face:
"Then we'll see you at dawn tomorrow at the front."
"Wait!"
Ah Ru suddenly called out to the major who was leaving, and the latter turned around to see Ah Ru fiddling with the arithmetic orb in his hand, and said to him without raising his head:
"Now you have three guards to guard!
Just two minutes earlier, my brothers had taken down their third sentry, which had penetrated deep into the outermost line of the Skeletons' defenses. I have to stress to you that there is a lot of pressure on the defense over there."
"I don't need to know how many enemies there are, tell me the location!"
Major Ron grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and he said in a deep voice:
"I will prove our courage and strength, and by that time, you two arrogant fellows will apologize to us in front of everyone! The grievances between the two countries have been put aside for the time being, and now that we are allies, we must be treated with the respect we deserve!
This is the most basic treatment for a soldier. ”
After saying that, he took the arithmetic orb that recorded the location and turned to leave, and in the tent where only Ah Ru and Pigeon Po were left, the two student party laughed and their stomachs hurt.
"Oops, it used to be our NPC's favorability, but now it's finally NPC's turn to brush our favorability, hahahaha."
Ah Ru clutched his stomach and laughed:
"This 'proof of strength' mission is very good, I finally know how easy and happy that group of manufacturing players are when they send us tasks.
That's how it should be.
Now it's great to have NPCs work for us. ”
"It's just, it's all said to be 100% realistic, right? So how can there be a reason for players to brush NPC favor? ”
Pigeon Snorted and said:
"We, as Murphy-sama's warriors, must have our own dignity, not all stinky fish and shrimp can stick a foot in our front.
Hey, want to earn our respect?
Let's act like a warrior first, these sand sculptures that have to wear ceremonial boots when they move around in the swamp. ”
——
"Isn't it? Ron! Do you play really? ”
Outside the student camp, several junior officers who were closer to Major Ron trudged through the mud, and they looked at the unchanging major in front of them in amazement, and these fellows exclaimed:
"How arrogant are these Transansians? We took the initiative to help them, and if we didn't appreciate it, we still want us to prove our strength?
Bah!
Do these vampires deserve it? ”
Several of the junior officers looked indignant, and Major Ron waited for them to finish complaining before he spoke:
"We're on the battlefield now, don't call me Ron, call me my rank! And, of course, we can stay at the borders of the Cato region all the way and watch the Transancians wallow in the mud and have fun doing it, and no one can say anything about us.
But we can also join them and take on the real gnolls before the Plague arrives.
I don't think the marshal sent us here to really come for a tour gilded, folks.
I'm going to talk about it today, we are all military aristocrats, and being sent here shows that we all have backgrounds, but our origins are not that big, except for Fraser who is the son of the family, all of us either have an older brother or sister above, or have been confirmed by the family to be unable to inherit the family business.
I would like to say that this battle is the best chance for us to come out!
If we want to continue the glory of the family and make the family look at us differently, we have to take off our beautiful boots and step into the mud, just like our fathers rolling in the sea of corpses and blood!
Only in this way can we win the future we want.
I don't want to argue with you about how arrogant the Transans are, but the truth is, when I set foot on the battlefield, I don't want my companions to be cowards either."
The major shook his head, took his luxurious shotgun from his horse, waved his hand, and said:
"Go back to the camp for those who don't want to go, and I'll stand guard with my soldiers, knocking down every bastard who comes near me until the Transians willingly bow their arrogant heads before my eyes.
I will participate in this war in this way.
I will prove to my enemies and my companions that I have not only relied on my general's father to get this far...
I!
I also have my dignity.
In this swamp far from home, I had to maintain my pitiful dignity, and that's it. ”
