460. You may make a small profit, but I definitely don't lose
As the Swamp Shadow event progressed to the Monday of the second week, the situation around the battlefield took a new turn.
Although the NPCs will not be directly involved in the attack in this operation, Master Murphy obviously does not want to see his warriors fight into the swamp in a "tabula rasa" way, so the NPCs quickly provide the necessary help to the warriors in the swamp with their actual actions.
Kind Eyebrow Giant Shark: [Brothers, the prestige equipment of the support forces has been installed this morning!
The camp in the outer area of the Crimean Fortress has been updated with the sword forged by the Northern Yankee Seiko, the first-hand military product of the Winter Wolf Legion of Yishui, the appearance is stylish, the attributes are practical, and even the standard assassination fist blade and smoke bomb of the Thorn Clan are available.
There are a lot of dazzling and inexpensive, the only requirement is that the prestige of the Crimean Fortress must be brushed to respect, and there is a limit on the number of weapons in this batch, and there will be no one after buying, so the brothers in need hurry up and squeak, we can do 'purchasing' here!
Just give a little bit of the benefit fee and errand fee. γ
A post swiped on the forums and immediately caught the attention of players who were already involved in the swamp raiders.
Lin Bei Dog Planer: [Post it!] Post it out! Let's see how the attributes are, we are following Brother Mao on the Western Front, and we won't be able to catch up for a while.
But the equipment on my body does need to be updated.
The armor effect of the family guard set is still great, but the 'bloodsucking' entry on the vampire's standard weapons is completely useless against the undead, and the advantage cannot be used at all. γ
Kind Eyebrow Giant Shark: [Wait, I'll take a picture for you.]
Most of the weapon entries here have [Slow] and [Frozen] entries, it seems that the Northerners are really good at playing with ice, anyway, this kind of entry should be very useful to deal with the undead, right? γ
Moehaha: [The camp of the Avalon Cathar has also been updated with support equipment, the equipment entries here are [Growth] and [Self-Healing], and some equipment marked as [Objects of Faith] has the effect of 'Condemnation of Nature', doubling the damage against enemies of nature.
This one is better for dealing with the undead, right? γ
Lumina Imprint: [Moeha, don't sell them here, you're a rookie yourself, don't mislead others, the high-level equipment of the Church of Avalon requires faith, and vampires can't use it at all.]
However, there are a batch of supplies here, and the Undead Killer Sword Oil and Nature Summoning Scrolls made by the Witch Hunter Alchemists are good things that everyone can use.
Guys in need squeak, we can also do purchasing on our side.
I'll count the list and let Brother Meow buy it, he's an oak knight and a missionary, you can get a 20% discount, and if you buy it, you can earn it! It's all their own buddies, and the errand fee is just as you like. γ
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Car: [666! Bring me twenty copies! I'm going to drink sword oil as tea. γ
One punch blows up the galaxy: [Little Lumi will set ten copies for our team, and let Da En go over to get it, he will run fast, and in addition, the giant shark also ordered us five sets of Beiyan weapons.
Greatswords, battle axes, war bows, daggers, and defensive swords and shields are required.
Speaking of which, @ζ ζζ΄ιΎθ½¦θ½¦, haven't the support forces on the western front brushed up support equipment? γ
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Che: [Yes, there are several gunsmiths in the camp of the Plantagenet Vanguard, and they are selling standard firearms. But I don't play with guns, and the demon hunting revolver made by Earl Sharon in my hand is enough. γ
Spicy Cooing Chicken: [Don't listen to the nonsense of Cheche, the firearms given by the Plantagenet Pioneer here are still very useful, I will paste the picture to you, and the brothers in need will deduct 1, and I can also do purchasing.
The prestige of our beast group here is probably respectful, and we are ten percent off when we buy things.
If I want to recommend it, I highly recommend the dwarven trench gun on their side, it is powerful, easy to use, simple in structure, it doesn't even need to be accurately locked when it is cleaned, and there is nothing wrong with it except that you have to pay for gold projectiles.
In addition, the Vanguard supplied other explosives.
Although the standard quality and destructive power are not necessarily better than what we do ourselves, the victory is that the price is cheap and sufficient, and the brothers who like to fry and fry are blessed. γ
Female Swordmaster: [Give me one, by the way, help me order 10,000 gold burning projectiles, I think the price here is much cheaper than buying it from Lady Triss.]
We have to take the opportunity to do more.
@εΏ θ―ζ―δ»δΉι’θ², Brother Zhongzhong, you have been saying that you are tinkering with guns, everyone is now in the swamp, and you are in urgent need of fire support, why haven't you conscienceless come up with anything usable?
The phobia of insufficient firepower that was said to be good is now intensifying.,I urgently need something powerful to save the scene.,It's okay if you can't get it.,Make more of your big iron fist for the brothers.γ
That thing is powerful, and when it encounters a pile of skeleton troops, it will be bombarded to relieve a thousand sorrows. γ
What color is loyalty: [Bah, baba, children's words, what do we mean we can't get the product? We're already working on the 'secret weapon', right?
A week at most!
You wait patiently for another week, and watch us give you the whole job, so that you can be pushed to the plague town in waves. γ
Mrs. Wen Wan Qishui: [This is what you said, Brother Zhongzhong, the big words have been thrown down now, if you can't figure it out when the time comes, don't blame everyone for laughing at you.] γ
What color is loyalty: [Sunglasses cool brother.jpg you just wait and see, a few of my brothers and I will use practical actions to tell you what technology is the primary productive force.
Don't brag with you, I'll go and see the processing progress. γ
The rest of the time in the forum became a "purchasing agent", because the three fronts did not interfere with each other, resulting in players scattered in the three regions and unable to run back and forth.
However, the updated weapons and equipment of the three support forces are obviously specially allocated for swamp operations, so the three parties must communicate with each other to ensure that everyone is armed to the teeth in the shortest possible time.
However, buying equipment has always been based on money, and for old players, it is not a big problem to buy a few guns and a few swords with the money they saved before, but those brothers who are new to the game once a week are shy, so that the "angel lender" Xiao Weiming has a wave of presence.
She had a separate post a long time ago, and that post was dedicated to "armed loans" to new players, recording everyone's name in the post and then making an appointment with them to repay the loan.
She thought the post would last a week at most, but it's been the fourth month of the game, and the post is still there and it's getting longer.
However, there is always interest on loans, and if you are black-hearted and use some "legal" means, it is enough to ensure that new players will work for Xiao Weiming for a long time. But the rich little rich woman obviously doesn't care about such a little income, and the interest she gives everyone is only 3%, and the repayment date is one month.
If you still can't say a word to Xiao Weiming by then, they will give you another month of grace.
It can be said that he is completely playing with tickets, and Lao Huo and his four secretaries who are watching it have a painful face.
What a business!
It only takes a little operation to ensure a stable and long-term financial source, but Xiao Weiming would rather spend time collecting gold coins on the forum than use his brain to make money.
Clearly, her pursuit of pleasure is far more important than profit.
Of course, there is also another possibility that Xiao Weiming is enjoying the "sense of achievement" in this way, and in her own state, this kind of spiritual satisfaction from helping others is obviously higher than the pitiful income from making money in this way.
It is said that Xiao Weiming is convincing her parents to fill out the application as well, but this kind of game is obviously still a bit too "ahead of its time" for middle-aged couples.
Her parents have a lot of business to do, and this persuasion will probably take some time.
At this moment, in the rear camp of the western front of the filthy swamp, Colonel Fraser was standing in his tent and looking out.
The booths set up by several spearmen of the Pioneer Corps in the camp were already packed, and Murphy's warriors were still waiting in line shouting something, and the noise was filled with an atmosphere of life that was out of place on the battlefield.
And the fact that they had procured more weapons than they could have used themselves made the Colonel realize that the fellows were probably going to bring one to their brothers on other fronts.
"Unity!"
The colonel thought in his heart:
"While I've seen the unity of these people during the previous assault on the Vulture Corridor, I seem to know more about their group philosophy now. They obviously have other good qualities besides their bravery, especially this indescribable state of mind."
Fraser turned his attention to the rest of the soldiers in the camp, the garrison of the seven posts in front was carried out on a rotational basis, and the intensity of the battle was not insignificant, and the soldiers of his vanguard regiment showed fatigue and resistance to the swampy environment during the three days of rest.
That laziness and resistance contrasted sharply with the exuberance of the warriors.
It seems that for them, the battle in this damn swamp is like an armed outing, full of some kind of fun that even professional soldiers cannot understand.
"What a strange bunch of people."
The colonel pursed his lips, he decided to take a closer look at the guys.
So he straightened his clothes and walked out of the tent, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone screaming in the crowd in front of him:
"Advanced NPCs have been refreshed! It's Colonel Frazier, Miss Pinkie's fiancΓ©, or Archon Miriam's gossip boyfriend! Wow, big scumbag with two boats on his feet, hurry! Where is the FFF group! Put oil on the fire and burn him. β
"Huh"
Colonel Frazier's face suddenly darkened.
Although he didn't understand what the "Enpixi" in the mouths of these guys meant, he guessed that it was the local language of the mountain people describing everyone except them, but he understood the second half of the sentence.
I obviously have nothing to do with Miriam, and Becky has a bad attitude towards herself now.
I didn't have two boats on my feet at all!
On the contrary, I now have nowhere to settle in the river of feelings, and I am about to be drowned.
Of course, the guys must have been joking when they said they were going to burn him, because a few seconds later, Frazier was surrounded by a group of players who asked him if he needed their help with anything.
His eerie enthusiasm and the way they looked at him made Fraser feel like a "delicious pastry", surrounded by a crowd of hungry gourmets waiting to be eaten.
He remembered the training he had received from the administration office on "how to deal with the mountain people" when he left the Crimson Keep, so he grabbed his orb of arithmetic, coughed, and said:
"My soldiers are very tired from the heat of battle, and they may need to relax while they recuperate, and I will be very pleased if you can find some entertainment for my soldiers that does not interfere with the battle.
Of course, I will also provide you with the necessary rewards.
My father is having a birthday and I've been hesitating about what to give him, and I'd like you to give me something to choose from.
My father was more fond of old weapons and some of the more exotic collections. β
"Wow, the Colonel gave two missions at once, what a generous man."
As the Orb of Arithmetic updated Colonel Fraser's request to the players, the group of guys immediately dispersed to do the mission.
His crisp and neat posture left the colonel a little confused.
Aren't you so realistic?
Pick up the task and run?
Anyway, let's say a few words about the scene.
He complained with a grumbling heart, and when he walked around the camp and returned to the tent, he saw that someone had already set up a table on the side of the barracks, and set up some small square squares, and called for the soldiers who were on leave to come and play.
The Colonel knew it was a kind of entertainment called "mahjong".
He'd seen this kind of thing with Major Ron in the Treasure Bay casino before, it was a simple and magical strategy game, and it was really good for entertainment.
And when he habitually wrote today's diary, when he first started writing, several players ran over with "collectibles" that he didn't know where to go.
The Colonel stared dumbfounded at the five ancient rusted weapons in front of him, he couldn't understand how these guys could be so efficient.
Don't you need time to find something?
One or two is fine, but every time he issues a mission to find antiquities in the past few days, a large number of warriors will return as soon as possible with things that meet the standards he requires.
What the hell are these Transrian mountain people?
At this time, several players around the colonel are still waiting for the colonel to give them a reward.
Hehe, fortunately, Aru has sorted out the post of "Capet Family Reputation Raiders" before, letting everyone know the items required for several random quests that Colonel Fraser will post, and now someone is collecting ancient weapons in the swamp to exchange them for other people to brush up on the Colonel's reputation.
There is not much in the filthy swamp, but there are only a lot of these "ancient objects" that have survived here during the four black plagues.
Not to mention that the Colonel had to pick out the exquisite collection for his father, even if the Count of Lyon wanted to get a complete collection of ancient soldiers' remains, players would be able to make it up for him.
Isn't it just to find an ancient battlefield in a swamp and dig it?
It's simple.
Fraser blinked.
He suddenly realizes that he should also have some fun in the boring swamp life, so he pays several players handsomely, as usual.
While the other party was counting the reward coins, the colonel suddenly coughed a few times and said:
"I'm not just a soldier, I'm a writer, I'm collecting material to document the battle of the swamp, and I've heard that the gnolls carry sigils and texts related to their race, which I know is dangerous, but I also trust that the warriors of Transencia will always meet my needs.
Therefore, I entrust you with this heavy responsibility."
"! A new mission that I haven't seen before, this must be a special mission that will only be triggered after the colonel's favorability is brushed to a certain level, so I quickly took it. β
The "Ruthless Horseworms" gathered around Fraser shouted at several of their brothers, and they happily took the task and ran out to post new information on the forum.
It all fell on the Colonel, and Fraser grinned.
He bowed his head and wrote in his diary:
"The mountain people of Translancia are clearly with a simple passion, perhaps because of their traditions, they will never refuse any request from someone they consider a friend, even the most difficult work, with 100% enthusiasm."
On the other side, in the command room of the Crimean Fortress, His Excellency Baldwin, the Winter Wolf General stationed here, listened to the report of his attendant with a painful face.
He put down the cigar in his hand, took out a puff of smoke rings, and said:
"Did that strange group of Transansians really clean all the rooms in the fort as we asked, and also cleaned the sewers of a bunch of hidden ghouls? Are they crazy?
How can this obvious provocation be accomplished so well? Where did Governor Murphy get this group of living treasures? β
"Yes, General, the Transans are not to be taken by common sense."
The helpless attendant said softly:
"They're still asking our quartermaster for more work, maybe to gain our favor, but the Crimean fortress is so disciplined that we really don't have much work left for them."
"Who says no?"
General Winter Wolf sneered, stood up and said:
"Murphy asked us to sell some of our armaments to his soldiers at cost price, and while it was hard for us to refuse the request from Grand Duke Shane, that didn't mean we became friends with the Transansians.
If they want to continue to get cheap armaments from us, they have to show their worth!
If they are willing to do the work, then leave the maintenance of weapons and some of the complicated maintenance of the castle to them.
If necessary, they can even leave it to them to clean the toilets.
But you have to watch carefully, so that they don't come into contact with the armed blood servants in the castle.
Maybe this was a temptation on Murphy's part!
The 10,000 armed blood servants of the Crimean fortress are a big danger, and we can't assimilate them, let alone trust them. Alas, the Thorn Clan's overly successful persuasion at the beginning really left me with a mess that was difficult to deal with!
Maybe it's time for us to find a way to get rid of this headache before the Plague actually breaks out. β
