Things went badly as expected, and the Transians marched at an unusually fast pace.

Almost the next morning, the vanguard of the fastest-advancing student party had already appeared in the field of vision of the watchtower of Plague Town, and the bastards who had wrapped themselves like dumplings were carrying the battle flags of the Blood Vulture Clan and Transasia with great arrogance, and in a loud howl of joy, they planted the thing on the hill opposite Plague Town with great arrogance, cheering as if the battlefield elders had finally taken a spot.

This is like a sign, a symbol, representing that the player's power has finally reached the final link of the "Swamp Shadow" event, and they are only one last step away from ending this big event.

And the action of the student party planting the flag also lit up a hidden achievement of "Victory Day" in the process of the raiders.

Unfortunately, Master Murphy set the time limit for "Swamp Shadow" to be forty days, and it took almost twenty days for Brother Loyal to get the incendiary bomb and produce it, plus a series of operations before and after, so that there are only twelve days left before the deadline.

To be honest, that's not a lot of money at all.

"Damn, this terrain is really terrible!"

Niu Niu wrapped a grass ring around his helmet to make a senseless disguise.

He lay in the grass with a telescope and looked around in the direction of Plaguetown, and although the vast fog of war made him unable to see anything of value, the least of the terrain was a deception.

"The bastard gnoll drove the undead to cut through the ground around the town and create a wide moat, and while I don't know what's in that weird-colored water, I don't want to jump in.

Only the bridge over the river can enter the town, and as a result, there are a large number of high-level undead guards on each of the three sides, and if you want to enter the town, you must clear the last group of elites in front of you. ”

Niu Niu put down the binoculars and said to the cat brother who was also dressed next to him:

"The open terrain below means that as long as we go down, there is no danger to defend, the opponent has completely occupied the advantageous terrain, and there is no other way but to attack."

"Well, Mrs. Water and Brother Woo Meow's previous predictions in the post are very accurate."

The cat brother who carried the heavy sword also nodded and said:

"This is obviously a dungeon group, if you want to enter the land of the team dungeon rotting corpses, you have to solve the small dungeons in the three directions on the periphery first, a classic dungeon quest quest line, I guess you have to go to the quest to play the key."

"Hey, come back, the NPC has sent a mission."

Just when Brother Mao finished speaking, Aru's shout sounded in the temporary position in the rear, Niu Niu and Brother Mao glanced at each other, and suddenly had no choice but to get up and return to the position, only to see the "Bloody Widow" Ms. Mary wearing a very conservative black dress flapping her wings and slowly falling.

Holding a scroll in her left hand, which lay flat on her chest, she was suspended in the air a few inches above the ground in the form of a "herald", and she cleared her throat and shouted to the warriors who were still carrying the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke around her:

"I have brought orders from Lord Femis, the leader of the Midnight faction of the Blood Vulture Clan and Count of Andelma!

At the behest of Governor Murphy, the Grand Miss will come to the swamp to support your attack on Plague Town, but the Venerable Miss will not be directly involved in the attack on the Gnolls, she will help you dispel the fog of war and counter the Mage Tower stolen by the Gnols.

The Grand Miss will make sure that every team of Champions will not be hindered and attacked by the Mage Tower when they enter Plague Town!

However, the Mage Tower in Plague Town is built on the nodes where the swamp psionic energy flows, which means that Lord Phimis's psionic counters will not last long, leaving you with 6 hours to attack freely each time.

At the end of the time, you must exit Plague Town immediately to avoid a devastating counterattack from the Gnoll Warlocks.

However, in order for the eldest lady to safely conduct the psionic countermeasures, you must first clear out the undead defenders near Plaguetown, but I believe that this will not be difficult for the warriors of Translancia. ”

"! Isn't this mechanic a rotation system that kills a thousand knives? ”

After Ms. Mary finished talking about the message brought by the eldest lady, the little clever ghost in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"So, we don't even have the power to the Freedom Raiders copy now? Do you have to ask an NPC to help you open the door? What the hell is this design? ”

"You understand a chicken, is this called running the key? The classic group book door opening task, just like you have to go to the Black Stone Tower to find Lexa before you fight the Black Dragon Sister.

!

Speaking of which, I was reminded of my miserable days of searching for that decrepit man in Lexa all over the map. ”

"Anyway, some people have always said that Lexa's bear is a druid girl, is it really fake?"

"Hell knows, but Misha's big slap really hurts."

Seeing that the crowd began to complain daily, several guild leaders who had formed an alliance on this western defense line got together to discuss, and the Moon Demon Curse Blue of the Demon Eight Masters was the first to speak:

"Obviously, the development team is making a very new and unconscionable attempt, and whether the dungeon can be attacked or not depends on whether we can clean up Plague Town within six hours of the eldest lady's countermeasures.

I think it's hanging, what do you think? ”

"You still need to say that the difficulty of this ghost game has always been full, okay?"

The good pigeon rolled his eyes, and said with a sad face:

"And when the group is attacked for the first time, the monsters inside will not be refreshed, that is, if we rush in but can't kill the boss within the specified time, then we can only cheapen the next challenger.

There is also a Hall of Fame feature that has already been opened.

!

The pressure is simply full. ”

"I think instead of thinking about how to attack the group book, it's better to be down-to-earth and think about how to get a small copy of the group book."

Teacher Li sat cross-legged, shook his head and said:

"I just went down with Lao Yang and took a spin and seduced a few skeleton soldiers to test the strength, I must tell you in all seriousness that the strength attribute of the skeleton soldiers here is at least more than twice that of the undead wandering on the periphery.

And they will even use a complete set of undead swordsmanship, which is an absolute elite monster! ”

"Well, our direction is full of skeleton soldiers and knights of the underworld, and there are few corpse witches."

Master Yang used a whetstone to polish the psionic poison blade of ambition and dreams in his hand, which was a weapon that Brother Mao replaced and handed over to him to use, and for a swordsman, such a good weapon in his hand was completely twice the result with half the effort.

He said to the others:

"I've been in contact with my wife, who is now on the side of the Woo Meow and Silvermoon Regiment's line and has received an invitation from Lady Water to join the group, and she told me that the southern line of defense is full of necro witches and skeleton mages.

It's a copy of the French monster over there, and Brother Bang's northern front is probably a copy of ghost-type enemies.

The styles of the enemies in the three directions are completely different, which means that we must not apply the way we attack each other.

But the question I'm thinking about now is, since the development team has set up support forces for us from the beginning this time, can the support forces help us when we attack the peripheral dungeons? ”

"Huh? We didn't expect that. ”

Pigeon Blinked, and immediately sent a message to the car that was now transporting the wounded to the smuggler's woodland, and a few minutes later, the car replied.

"I had just asked Major Ron, and the poor bald head told me that their second shipment had been delivered to the camp, and that Marshal Loren had sent them thirty field guns that could move flexibly.

The Major said that if we needed to, they could push some of the field guns down the 'Road of Ashes' to the front line, so that we could get the fire support of the Plantagenet artillery while we attacked the dungeon.

Covering shots can help us get rid of some of the undead minions! ”

The sound of the cart echoed through the pigeon's orb of arithmetic in the tent.

This perfectly confirms Master Yang's conjecture, and the name of the supporting force is indeed not wrong!

The early combat can help guard the sentry post, and the follow-up operation can also provide fire support, and sure enough, the development team did not do everything perfectly, or left a glimmer of life for the players.

"Well, if you follow this line of thinking, then there is similar support on the other two lines?"

Niu Niu narrowed his eyes and said:

"Didn't the church of Avalon in the south help Meow create an army of nature? The Treants will definitely be there to help them when they attack the dungeon, and there are the Nightkin of the Thorn Clan on the northern front, who may be able to help Brother Bang's legion kill the thorny enemies that are marked in seconds.

However, the assistance of the three parties is definitely based on prestige, and if you don't get your prestige in advance, I estimate that the help you can get will be very limited. ”

"Code,It's really a ring after a ring.,The development team that was once as simple as a tendon has now grown to the level of cunning at both ends."

Ah Ru scolded.

But the good news is that they reached a pretty good cooperation model with the Plantagenet Vanguard in the process of attacking the sentry post before, plus the field hospital in the Smuggler's Woodland has been operating, the player will not be injured, only the NPC needs treatment, and the hospital operated by the Pants Demon has saved many injured soldiers in the past half a month.

This alone was enough to make Colonel Fraser's attitude towards the Transans change a lot, and it is estimated that they will not hide in the face of the fire support requirements of the Student Party, after all, they are just a coward who can only shoot cannons from a distance.

This is much safer than the student party and warrior monks who charge into battle on the frontal battlefield!

"Let's do it then!"

Teacher Li supported his knees with his hands and said in a deep voice:

"It will take time for the Plantagenet soldiers to bring over the field guns, but we can't wait, and we will start entering the position this afternoon, and use our way to wear down those skeleton troops first. It just so happens that the mortars sent by the arsenal are very good fire support, and we all have to learn how to use this weapon of war. ”

"What's that, you fight first, and we won't participate in the early strategy."

Pigeon suddenly coughed.

As the others watched in astonishment, the leader of the student party looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"Ah Ru and I had a strange idea that we wanted to put into practice, and it wasn't part of the development team's arrangement, but I looked up a lot of information and I thought it might work. It may take a moment to confirm our suspicions!

The results will be available in three days at most, so you don't have to wait for us.

At that time, if it can really work, maybe we can completely bypass this series of constraints set by the development team and come to a neat straight Huanglong! ”

"Did you find any strange bugs?"

Brother Cat whispered:

"Listen to what you mean, this bug is pretty bad? I said,Now the development team is very concerned about the behavior of cracking down on card bugs.,Look at the fate of Brother Woo Meow and Brother Bang before.,I mean you guys take it easy.,Don't go overboard.。 ”

"How can this be called a BUG?"

Ah Ru crossed his arms and retorted:

"We've just found some clues in the local legends that we can exploit, okay? If the dev team didn't welcome us starting with this, they shouldn't have set up such a backstory in the first place.

I can't say much now, lest we be discovered by other little clever ghosts, and our plan to have an early access experience will be ruined?

Anyway, you guys should try to clear the level in the normal way.

We're just making a backup plan.

Once we find out that the situation is not right when we really hit Plague Town, it will not be too late for us to start this risky plan. ”

"Well, that's it."

Teacher Li nodded, and the curse blue that came from the Demon Eight Masters on behalf of the Demon Bajie was okay, but this guy made a somewhat nonsensical request.

Because the Demon Eight Masters is a well-known "cultist gang".

There are four tricksters and four coffin-bearers among the eight of them, and the common feature of these two classes is that they need to find resentful spirits or undead creatures to bind and manipulate them in order to improve their skill proficiency, especially for the lower-level class coffin-bearers of necromancers, the unique undead minions belong to "combat resources".

Therefore, Curse Blue hopes that the other two teams will help, and if they find strange undead in the process of attacking Plague Town, they must be merciful and leave it to their eight brothers to study.

These eight funny people with peculiar personalities are also ambitious!

They are already planning to take advantage of Plague Town's strategy to equip each eight brothers with elite versions of undead minions, only in this way can they embody their "fallen prestige" as cultist players.

Well, another reason why Spell Blue is so proactive is that the rich man of Treasure Bay has made a strange order for them, and the cultist village chief is in dire need of some special samples of wraiths to improve his trickster class.

But the rich man will be busy counting the money happily surrounded by four golden flowers, how can he have time to come to the battlefield in person?

Therefore, the work of collecting the seeds of powerful spirits fell on the head of the Demon Eight Masters.

Lao Huo's bounty for this job is quite high, and Curse Blue is really reluctant to let go for the development of the team.

But you can't say that this is a fake public benefit, after all, in the process of the strategy dungeon, the demon eight also made great efforts, without them to disperse the undead all the way around, the guild of the western front would not be able to cross the chaotic front so quickly to get here.

For example, players on the other two fronts are still struggling to make their way through it.

"Although you can't complain about the suffering when you fight for the majesty of the Holy Light, the Holy Light is above, the road in this stinky swamp is so difficult to walk, and these undead who are cursed to go to hell still run out and sneak attack from time to time!

Fortunately, there are treemen around to protect it, otherwise we would have to lose another group of people on this stretch of road.

Didn't you say that last night's bombing was a success?

Why are the undead still running around in the swamp?

Blanch, the vampire pilots on the front line shouldn't lie about the military situation, right? ”

On the southern front, Uncle Ferdin, who was sent to support the battle, was full of swear words, and he didn't want the decency of a paladin at all, but he was not to blame, the group of people behind him were all full of complaints, and even Miss Becky, who had always been full of vitality and majesty, would wilt.

She hadn't showered for nine days.

Every day, she feels like she is about to become a stinky can, and what makes Biki most uncomfortable is that everyone is obviously trekking in the swamp the same, why can her best friend Liwen Knight still maintain a soft and clean posture?

"Don't look at me like that, it's my God-given power."

Knight Liwen sensed Becky's resentment, and she shrugged her shoulders and explained:

"The Astral Dragon is the god of purification, and his followers can naturally maintain natural purity, and spotlessness is just the basic 'welfare' of our lives.

"Don't, don't! I'm annoyed. ”

Becky covered her ears and screamed:

"It's annoying enough to have a Tempal whispering in my ear all day, so don't join in. Wow! Wild undead have appeared in front of you! Look at my master hammer! Lose! ”

"Bang"

The spinning weight of the hammer was smashed out with pinpoint precision, smashing the skull of the skeletal archer that poked its head out of the mud.

It was like a hornet's nest, and more undead rushed out of their hiding places, and Becky, who had already been angry in her heart, rushed out with the other grumbling paladins howling and fighting the skeletons.

For a time, the terrible conditions of swamp life were temporarily forgotten, and the pride of battle came back to the minds of the warriors.

Liwen, who was on a horse, was not involved.

The half-dragonborn knight sat there quietly, then she listened to the invisible voice, then lowered her head after a few seconds, and whispered:

"As you said, they haven't found their way forward yet, like confused and aggressive rams, but they won't always be like that. Didn't you also say last time that subspace has had a slight to almost imperceptible concussion?

Although it was still faintly audible, it was like a light cry, announcing that some seeds of change had been planted.

O my Lord.

May you be kind to these Gentiles and their faith, they are not bad people, in fact, I think they are exactly the kind of people who are most needed in this chaotic world.

Not to assert any authority, not to achieve any end, but only to fight for the best part of human nature. ”

Another invisible gust of wind blew, causing Knight Liwen to reopen her eyes.

The change of the blue serpent's pupils represented a great power observing the material world through the eyes of a mortal, and after only a few seconds, the power was withdrawn, leaving only a gentle response to its own unique believers.

Perhaps, the mysterious and powerful Astral Dragon is also looking forward to this change that is only a little bit of a wave at present, after all, even the smallest seed will grow into a towering tree in the future.

Every Astral Djinn was born like this, as if a new miracle was about to play out in this chaotic time.

One day, the power of the Light will respond to the desire and call.

Yes.

Someday.
