The "Bloodservant Problem" of the Crimean Fortress is indeed quite serious, and the problem comes from a small flaw that was covered up by the outstanding victory of the Winter Wolf Legion of the Nordtov Kingdom at the end of the Ten Years' War under the orders of the Wolf Maiden into the Kafhoka region.

Known as the "Unbreakable Wall", this fortress has been a military fortress that the Portia Confederation has spent a lot of money to repair and maintain for the past 400 years, and the elite members of the Blood Vulture Clan and 10,000 elite blood servants are stationed here all year round, which is a force to be reckoned with in the land of Translasia, and the Winter Wolf Legion did not take this fortress by storming the city.

Grand Duke Shani of the Thorn Clan infiltrated it, and with the successful persuasion of "Wang Situ" and the cruel reality of the destruction of Cadman City and the extermination of the Blood Vulture Clan, the Blood Vulture Vampires in the Krimu Fortress surrendered quite smoothly.

These bastards didn't even fight for more, and after they voted, they joined the Thorn Clan and got preferential treatment and their own faction, originally going to take advantage of the situation to stay in Transasia, but they met Murphy and Tracy, the husband and wife duo of "salted fish turned over", rose strongly, and could only be assigned a new territory by Grand Duke Shani, who didn't want to cause trouble.

The Archduke of Thorns took the traitors to the other side of the wilderness and began a new life happily in Port Joseph in the Far East, but he suffered the 10,000 armed blood servants who were still holding out in the castle.

It can be seen from the situation of Maxim's reception of the Third Brigade that although there is no shortage of "soldiers and salaries" among the armed blood servants, there are also a large number of people who maintain loyalty to the Portia Confederacy and Transasia, and after their vampire commander runs away, how to deal with these armed blood servants who have nowhere to go becomes a problem for General Baldwin.

In the past few months, the general has tried many means to recruit a group of blood servants who are willing to surrender, but there are still almost 6,000 people in a state of "non-cooperation".

Although he obeyed orders and obeyed the general's commands, General Baldwin did not dare to bet on the choices these guys would make when they received an order to fight Transnsia, for example.

So many people can't be slaughtered directly, that's just asking for trouble for themselves, and if they start a riot, it can easily cause big problems in the defense line of the Crimean fortress.

This incident had almost become a mental illness for the highly decorated General Baldwin, and he could not maintain his sleep quality during this time in the Crimean Fortress.

According to the general's previous thoughts, he planned to use these stubborn blood servants as "consumables" to fight against the gnolls, but now that the black plague is about to erupt, this headache seems to have taken a turn.

"Didn't Governor Murphy receive a group of blood servants returning from the Great Wilderness before? They also received captives of the Blood Servants of East Prus from Marshal Loren of the Plantagenet Kingdom.

This means that Governor Murphy doesn't care about the failures of these guys and is willing to give them a chance to be a new person. ”

The general's attendant advised:

"The loyalty of the armed Blood Servants in the fortress is very questionable, and I know that this matter has been bothering you, so I think it is better to take advantage of this cooperation and send them back to Transcia as well. Of course, Governor Murphy would need to pay a certain amount of money for this, or his warriors would have to take on more work in exchange for their eligibility for the Blood Servant spot.

For example, the war materials that we lack the most now.

Winter is coming, and the proximity of the Crimean Fortress to the swamp keeps us from freezing to death, but we still lack fuel and winter clothes to survive the winter.

At present, order has not been restored in the Kafhoka area, and there are rioters everywhere, and it will take several times more time and effort to collect these materials here.

I mean, if Governor Murphy's warriors could bring what we needed"

"Well, good idea."

General Winter Wolf nodded.

He had obviously thought of this solution before, and was just waiting for his squire to say it.

As the top military commander in the region, there are some "politically incorrect" things that cannot be said by him personally, which can easily become a stain on his military resume.

Although General Baldwin was deeply trusted by the Wolf Girl, politics was such a terrible thing, and the General did not want to tarnish his and his family's reputation that had been perfect so far.

So, following the words of the attendant, he said:

"We can first select some of the most recalcitrant and unwilling blood servants to give out as 'gifts', and by the way, relieve the pressure on the fortress prison.

As for what Murphy's warriors had to pay for this, let me think about it, there has always been a problem of wild beasts in the swamps near the Crimean Fortress, hasn't it?

According to our recent investigations, the migration of these beasts is due to the massive movement of the damned gnolls in the swamps, which is a ripple effect that happens to be part of our mutual aid agreement with Translasia.

So, let the Trancians on the northern line of defense clean it up!

Anyway, Murphy's warriors are not afraid of death.

They look at death as home!

It is a great headache for such a guy to become an enemy on the battlefield, and now to take the opportunity to consume some should be taken as a way to relieve the pressure on us in the future. ”

"Well, I'll move this forward as you think right away."

The attendant solemnly recorded the general's order, and said:

"I've heard from some of the Tranians who can't keep their mouths shut that Governor Murphy intends to open a path in the swamp so that their soldiers can make contact with the Knights of the Blood Pact stationed in the Dark Mountains, which means that the Tranians are arrogant enough to turn the Filthy Swamp into a new frontier for their realm.

General, do we need to intervene in this matter?

Once the swamp was really conquered by the Transansians, the location of the Crimean fortress became awkward.

We will go from being a continental-level military powerhouse to a dispensable border fortress, which will weaken the Nordtov kingdom's voice in dealing with the Black Plague. ”

"Intervene? No, we'll wait and see. ”

General Winter Wolf shook his head and said:

"That's just a slogan from Murphy, and it seems to me that it's hard to achieve, for for countless times in the past have been filled with the desire to conquer the Filthy Swamp, just as we have done with the great feat of Lady Nordetto, but no one man or force has ever succeeded in it.

I don't believe that Murphy, a magical vampire, could have done such a spectacular miracle.

But if they do, it doesn't hurt us either.

Since the establishment of the Crimean Fortress during the Second Black Plague, each Black Plague has caused the fortress to be badly damaged, and although this has made it undefeated, it is not the Tranians who are holding on to it now.

My soldiers are some of the best brave in my homeland, and if Governor Murphy's adventures reduce their sacrifices, I would raise my hands and sing the praises of the vampire lord.

We're military though, Duke.

But we can't chase war without brains.

As a general should be a defender and fulfill his mission to the kingdom, war is always the last resort for our self-sacrifice. ”

Baldwin, with his delicate mustache, reached out and grabbed the general's cane beside him, and he walked to the window of the office at the top of the fortress and looked out.

The gray and unforgiving eyes like a cold wind caught the eye on a swamp landscape that could not be seen.

After a few seconds of silence, he said:

"My ancestors, my grandfather, and my father all died in the war against the Black Plague, and from the glory days of Boris's vanguard to the present, every generation of my family has shone in every Black Plague, and the fate of our family is closely tied to this swamp.

Maybe that's my fate.

If the gnolls want to invade our homeland, they will have to step over my corpse first!

But it wouldn't be a good thing if we had to get past the corpse of the Transians before the gnolls killed me, and at least it would give us the last bit of time to prepare.

I admire the brave.

Honestly, I'd also like to see them work a miracle.

You go ahead and draft the plan first.

I'll review it and send it to the Crimson Keep, and if Governor Murphy and his supposedly young consul agree to this 'captive swap' model, then we can begin to address the 'loyalty' issue." ”

——

Swamp raids are indeed a long process.

The time limit given in the announcement of the incident issued by Lord Murphy is forty days, which proves that in the eyes of the development team, even if all the players are currently engaged in the swamp front, it is impossible to gnaw this super difficult bone in a short period of time.

As expected, although all three fronts have been activated and are progressing well, the fastest student party has only just laid the ninth outpost by the end of the second week of the operation, and by the end of the third week and the fifth day.

With a difficult gesture, they blasted their spearheads through the two layers of the Skeleton Army, and officially advanced to the vicinity of Plague Town.

But the student party had also become quite tired from the high-intensity fighting, and they were no longer able to push forward in the face of the elite skeleton army guarding the road to Plague Town.

The progress of the other two fronts was much slower than that of the Student Party, whether it was Brother Woo Meow or Brother Bang, they had just broken through to the vicinity of the second layer of defense.

At this rate, at the end of the forty-day period, it will be absolutely impossible for players to defeat the heavily defended Plague Town.

But with the exception of the scattered players who became impatient and caused the casualties to increase, the members of several major guilds all slowed down.

Brother Bang's side didn't even use the NPC army on the Maginot Line to help, but relied on the combination of veterans and recruits of the Scarlet Hammer Scythe Regiment to advance unhurriedly, and was even in the mood to build a camp in the swamp.

Meow and Silvermoon focused on "planting trees" near the Avalon Church camp on the Southern Front.

Over the course of twenty days, the fellows have dropped more than 3,000 seeds of varying efficacy into the muddy waters of the swamp and nurtured them under the care of the "Bursting Belly," who has decided to follow the path of the Druids.

The western front, where the student party and the shadow faction are located, is even less anxious, because they can't do anything if they want to.

Their furious advance had caused the Skeleton Army in other directions to begin to move to the western front, causing the enemy forces on this side to more than double in a few days.

Although they can be called elite and brave enough, the Achilles' heel of few people cannot be ignored.

The fact that the advantage obtained in the early stage is being caught up by other teams with a little bit of time makes Che Che and Ah Ru a little anxious, but the good pigeon is uncharacteristically not urging everyone to work harder.

This guy has been going out early and returning late with Niu Niu, Master Yang and Brother Mao mysteriously in the past few days, as if he was running to investigate, but he didn't know what "secret operation" they were planning.

In this unbearable stalemate, some "little smart" people finally realized that the current stagnation of the three fronts was waiting for some kind of "big killer" to appear!

This is a topic that has been frequently mentioned in posts in recent days.

Especially yesterday afternoon, after Brother Loyal posted a photo of an armed carriage full of black bombs to the forum, this is basically equivalent to a "bright card".

The news of the "weapons of mass destruction" of the First National Arsenal of Transencia in response to the marsh battle has spread far and wide, and in the collective farms, which are still some distance from the front line, the matter has already been hammered.

"Come here, you guys! Come with us to the village of Morland, where the loyal brother has been tasked with transporting the bombs they have produced to the Maginot Line positions in four days. ”

On the square of the "Pride of the Lion King" in the second village, the little brother of the village chief's pink cat and rabbit, "Rainbow Cat Hero", stood on the crate and shouted to a group of budding newcomers who had just entered the game yesterday in front of him:

"Come here and get ready to go, as long as you complete this trip, everyone will be rewarded with five gold coins! Brother Loyalty's side pays for it, everyone only needs to follow and take on a little bit of transportation, and you don't need to follow to fight monsters or participate in the dangerous front-line strategy.

When you get to the place, go directly into the swamp and brush those peripheral skeletons to level up, isn't it beautiful? ”

This tone is no different from the HR of the factory recruitment.

In fact, the rainbow cat hero did work in the factory for a period of time, but he and the pink cat and the rabbit are the relationship between the junior and the senior, although there is no career plan to take the civil service route like the cat and the rabbit, but the rainbow cat hero is now in reality as a middle-level leader in the human resources department of a large company.

This time I was pulled in by the senior to help purely to return the favor, but after a week of experience, I immediately became a die-hard fan of "Real Otherworld", and now I am appointed as the militia captain of the "Pride of the Lion King" village, and the militia under his command is basically equivalent to the type of "chicken dog ascending to heaven".

He shouted there to recruit, and the newcomers who had just entered the game yesterday and hadn't figured out the basic mode immediately gathered when they heard the reward of five gold coins.

In a short time, the selection of twenty people, together with the militia drawn from the village, formed a team of forty people, and drove twelve empty carriages to the arsenal.

As a village that is positioned to take the postal and logistics business in the future, Pink Cat and Rabbit has added a large number of carriages to its village, and after today's batch is gone, there will be a group of people who will embark on the same transportation route tomorrow, which is the second "official order" after the village chief of Cat Mao Rabbit followed the "Treasure Bay" assistance business.

He takes it very seriously.

Tomorrow's larger-scale transport will be escorted by the cat and the rabbit in person, and today the rainbow cat will be explored in the past.

Along the way, the newcomers chatted on the last cart, and the customs of Translancia and what they saw and heard in the Crimson Keep became the talk of the conversation, but there was a very "unique" player in this group of newcomers who caught the eye.

First, this guy's ID is very improper, and his name is "Uncle Qin, the concierge".

Second, this guy is so good at talking!

Since the beginning of the game, he has made friends with many young people, and he will still tell them about the war in the carriage.

Whether it's true or not, but the details are very realistic, everyone is very fascinated, but some people have raised objections.

"Old Qin, you said that you fought in reality, but it's been almost fifty years since the closest battle on our side, right? How old are you? ”

A student party with an ID called "three catties of sweet potato roast" couldn't help but ask.

He is a fellow of Cheche, one level lower than Cheche, and he specializes in oil painting in art, and he has a character specialty of "drawing specialization" and "art cell" when he enters the game.

The application I filled out half a month ago was just entered the game yesterday.

Hearing the inquiry about sweet potato burning, Uncle Qin smiled, patted his leg, and said:

"That age must be very big, that is, this helmet is more magical, I am in a wheelchair in reality, alas, people are old like this, I really envy you young people.

But it's a good game, and it makes me feel a lot younger when I can sleep and play it. ”

"I don't believe it."

Sweet potato roast pursed his lips and said:

"How can the elderly be so trendy, are you like Professor Chen who came to the game to care for the elderly?"

"Hey, are you the legendary barmaid?"

Lao Qin was going to have a fight with him, but before he could start to retreat, he stopped outside, and then the rainbow cat, who made a cameo appearance as the "overseer", shouted:

"When you get to the place, everyone gets out of the car to move things, remember what you said before leaving, handle it gently."

"Let's go, let's get to work."

Lao Qin got up and jumped out of the car after saying a word, and the temporary warehouse outside Morlan Village was already full of boxes of "secret weapons", not only their team, but also the five collective farms, including Riptide Fort, came out of the people's convoy to transport weapons, and the venue was very lively.

Locals are moving things, and witch hunters patrol around to avoid fireworks.

Sweet potato Yao and a few classmates stepped forward to carry a box and walked to the carriage, but when they put it down, they accidentally fell and broke the wooden box board, revealing the iron pipe with a black hole inside.

Several student parties have yet to react to what this is.

Sweet potato roast stretched out his hand and touched it, and said suspiciously:

"Is this some kind of otherworldly weapon? Why don't you have a trigger, and you don't have a handle or anything. ”

"That's a mortar tube, silly boy."

Lao Qin, who was passing by, glanced at it, narrowed his eyes and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a replica of 'Stokes', it's been around for years, I used it when I was younger, and it's not difficult to operate.

If necessary, you can shoot even if you stick it in the dirt.

These guys did a good job, they actually got this thing out, I just don't know how they solved the bump fuse? ”

", mortar? Is it so awesome? ”

Several young people were in a commotion, they were the first time they had seen this kind of "real iron", and they didn't expect to see modern weapons on the land of the other world.

A few seconds later, after the sweet potato was burned, he looked at Lao Qin, who was carrying a box of bullets and walked away, and he whispered:

"! This old Qin actually fought? It's really hidden. ”
