473. The Fortress and the Adventure of the Carriage
"Brother Bang's side hasn't been extinguished yet! Is it so strong? I'm thankful for all the flowers I've been waiting for. ”
On the west side of Plague Town, the Student Party had also completed the capture of the undead positions outside the town, and with the help of the Plantagenets' artillery fire, it was not as difficult for them to do so as they thought.
But now an embarrassing situation has arisen.
Because the Happy Stick team is still working on the strategy, the eldest lady needs to maintain the psionic countermeasures over there, which directly leads to the fact that even if the student party is qualified to enter the dungeon, they can't start the strategy in the western region because of the existence of the psionic barrier.
The eldest lady is only one, and her lack of skills has led to the three lines of defense having to come in turns.
"It's only been three hours since Brother Bang's side entered the book, and there are still three hours before it's our turn, wait slowly, and hurry up to clean up the remaining undead on the battlefield."
Master Yang is actually very anxious.
The Spectre Grimome that his son needed was close at hand, but he couldn't set foot in the town, but this old man's kung fu skills that had gone through the ups and downs of the world were really good, and he was still able to maintain a stable mind.
He said to the others around him:
"I just took a look at the content of the 'Weaken Psionics' mission released by Miss Femis, and this is clearly a complement to the current rotation challenge from the development team.
According to the eldest lady, the three psionic nodes in the swamp are currently controlled by the gnolls, which has caused the defensive positions set up by their mage towers to be almost impregnable.
If the two nodes away from Plague Town can be reclaimed, this mage tower will not be able to hold up the defensive barrier that envelops the entire town.
This is clearly a hint that if we can grab the other two psionic nodes, we may be able to open the entire quest without restrictions. ”
"But the locations of those two places are very different from those of Plague Town, they are almost all outside of the area we are currently exploring, and there is no way to move quickly in the swamp, and it will take two to three days to trek just on both legs."
Teacher Li shook his head and said:
"If you choose to seize the two areas where the gnolls are stationed now, it is equivalent to giving up the strategy of the dungeon, and no one wants to give up the right to enter the dungeon.
Even if most people know very well, even if they do attack the dungeon, it will be difficult for them to get the drop.
But it's all about participation.
You can't force them to leave here to contribute to the bigger picture, can you? ”
"So that's the biggest disadvantage of the player base."
Master Yang looked at the players around him who were elated and yelling, he shook his head and said:
"Brave but lacking in management, unable to use coercive means to assign tasks, everything is fine when the situation is good, and chaos when the situation is critical."
"Let's go."
A voice sounded behind Master Yang, and he turned around in surprise to see Lao Qin and his four young art students carrying a replica Mosin Nagant on his back.
Lao Qin squeezed his eyes with a smile and said:
"I heard what you complained about just now, Master Yang, if your words are heard by everyone, someone will definitely say that you are arrogant.
It would be better to say less about this kind of destruction of unity. ”
"But I'm not wrong, it's true, and no one is allowed to say it?"
Lao Yang waved his hand indifferently and said:
"But are your team sure you're leaving Plaguetown to occupy the Psionic Node? Not only is it far away from the main battlefield, but there are also gnolloll warlocks stationed there, and it is estimated that the danger is not small.
The cost of this matter is completely disproportionate to the benefit, and it is no wonder that others are unwilling to take on this side quest. ”
"If you don't pick it up, can you stay here and get the qualification to enter the dungeon?"
The sweet potato roast beside Lao Qin pouted and said:
"Even if the veteran players open up slots to newcomers, anyone who is a little self-aware of their skills should know that they are also a burden to others.
This is not an ordinary game that can be 39 with 1, and the pressure under the real battle simply does not allow bastards to fish in it.
At the moment, there are only ten days left before the players of the 'Swamp Shadow' event can explore freely, and if they can't get it in ten days, they will have to be NPCs.
It's like a battle with a military order.
Under this kind of pressure, it is impossible for the player guilds on the three fronts to bring their bosses in to play, which dooms us newcomers to stay here and only watch the excitement and waste time.
It's better to take the opportunity to brush up on the prestige of the three support forces, I think many of the items they sell are quite supermodels. ”
"Yo, the world is sober, Brother Sweet Potato."
Flapping his wings and passing by Ah Ru next to him, he smiled and waved his hand at the sweet potato roast and said:
"I'm still busy, I won't talk to you, I'll invite you to barbecue after the line, remember to bring your sisters with you.
Just the last time we sang together, the twin sisters.
You also said you wanted to introduce it to me! I remember. ”
"Your sister! People have a boyfriend this week, you line up, I guess it will be your turn next month. ”
Sweet potato smiled and said goodbye to Ah Ru, this look is a good friend I know in reality.
But what Sweet Potato Yaki said just now did reveal the current situation, making the few new players who heard the conversation next to him thoughtful.
Lao Qin didn't say anything more, he quickly discussed a plan of action with the Shadow Trace Sect, and then made supplies and set off with the four students of the Fine Arts Department to the location marked as the No. 1 Psionic Node.
It's worth mentioning that there were more than a dozen new players who also asked to join them when they left.
They didn't hide it, and they said that the chances of following Qin Ye to survive in the swamp might be a little better.
And soon, the same news came from the northern front, and the "Hymn of Loyalty" guild mixed with Brother Bang took the initiative to undertake the exploration and occupation of the No. 2 psionic node.
This made the eldest lady breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
Don't look at the confidence she is experiencing, in fact, with her current psionic power, it is very reluctant to achieve a psionic countermeasure against the Warlock Tower.
Once or twice is fine, if you do this multiple times over a few days it will quickly make her go into exhaustion. However, once the players capture the other two nodes, the pressure on the eldest lady will be much less.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Two hours later, in the early hours of the morning, the startling news came that the Happy Stick team had successfully taken out the gatekeepers of the Northern Front, and successfully advanced the players to the foot of the Warlock's Tower.
However, they had suffered heavy losses in the past five hours and could not continue to go deeper, so they took the initiative to end the first strategy attempt.
When the corpse of the undead, gnolls, and vampires was lifted out of Plaguetown, the entire northern front was boiling.
Not only the players were shouting, but even the NPCs of the Thorn Clan gave applause and cheers to the brave.
Several representatives of the Winter Wolf Legion who had been invited to witness the battle were surprised.
It can be seen that these arrogant northerners don't think that the Trancians can gnaw this well-defended gnoll fortress on their own, and the winter wolf general Baldwin is even ready to take the Plague Town with the Winter Wolf warriors in person after Transia is subdued.
However, now it seems that the Northerners did underestimate the warriors of Transancia.
"Ah, Brother Bang has come out on top! What the hell! They are just one step away from their Hall of Fame position, and the pressure is now on our side. ”
Seeing that the eldest lady flapped her wings and appeared on the position of the western front, the good pigeon called out to the others next to him who were ready to enter the dungeon with a painful face:
"If we don't take down the gatekeepers, won't this wave be a dead man?"
"It's not a shame now, my pigeon treasure."
Ah Ru sighed and said:
"You can see the eldest lady's face that she is already very tired, and I estimate that she needs to rest for a while after this countermeasure is over before she can start the second round of strategy attempts.
And we only have ten days left.
Do you think that at this rate, with a limited number of attempts, we can handle the capture of Plague Town? I look hanging!
And it's very hanging, very hanging.
Even if all three fronts pass the gatekeepers, there are still two mage towers to fight. Tsk, it hurts to think about it. ”
"So, what do you mean?"
The invincible tyrannosaurus Che Che and the other dormitory brothers glanced at each other, and he leaned over and asked in a low voice:
"You mean, use the backup plan?"
"Hmm!"
Ah Ru narrowed his eyes and looked at the path that slowly opened in front of him in front of him in the eldest lady's spell to the interior of Plague Town, and he said:
"Let's take a look at the strength of the gatekeepers on our side first, but we must be prepared to activate the 'backup plan' immediately regardless of whether it will work this time!
The next time it's our turn to raid this pesky dungeon, there's still time for us to try, so try to be foolproof.
I've been in the swamp for so long and I'm going to get PTSD.
I really don't like this muddy ground.
What about you?
What do you guys say? ”
Ah Ru looked at the leaders of the other two guilds on the same front, and Teacher Li and Curse Lan discussed a few words with their companions and both agreed.
Obviously, in their minds, there is little hope of capturing the entire town in ten days according to the current model. Even if players are not afraid of death, a three-day delay in dying is destined to them not to have much trial and error cost.
In this case, if you want to make a quick decision, you can only go sideways.
"Let's take a look at who the gatekeeper is on our side, maybe it's an old acquaintance again."
The meow shark called, and the first one flapped its wings and flew into the open psionic barrier in front of them, and the others rushed in.
Niu Niu, the heavy shield hand, reached out at the end and kissed the grass ring on his finger, then took on his helmet and picked up the flail and shield, and walked into the group with everyone in the ridicule of the three good friends.
But to their surprise, they rushed all the way to a position only a few hundred meters away from the Warlock Tower without seeing any enemies.
"What the hell is this? Why is there no blame? ”
The flying car screamed:
"Is it a bug in our card? Or are we lucky to have a bye? ”
"Bye! Look at the ground! ! ”
The trickster in the Demon Eight Collection, the Water Demon Bazaar, covered his eyes in despair, and he shouted:
"Don't go any further!
There are at least a hundred Hercery Traps on the way to the Warlock's Tower! We have to tear it down one by one, and if we step on the wrong one, we will finish the game.
At my current level, I don't know what the hell these traps will summon when activated, but trust me, I really don't want to try.
Don't dash through the air!
The detection triggers of these advanced traps are all-terrain, and once activated, they will also trigger in the air. ”
"So the goalkeeper combat mode on our side is positional warfare?"
Pigeon Bo lamented, and he cursed in the air:
"This development team is really getting better and better, what are you waiting for, brothers? Demolish! Psykers and thieves alike go and dismantle traps, be steady!
It's better to be slow than to grab a second. ”
As he spoke, he was the first to fall down and prepare to dismantle the trap.
But Pigeon Bao is a blood torturer after all, and he is really not good at this kind of trap in the field of evil arts, and the first technique went wrong.
The price of misplacing the two runes was that the purple spiritual energy soared into the sky, and then in the stunned gaze of everyone, a door of the dead shaped by white bones and full of majesty suddenly appeared in front of them.
In the cold breath of Hades, the Grim Reaper Guardian with the Scythe of Souls floated out of it, followed by four swaggering Ghost Guards like Shadow Demons.
"I've seen this thing! This is the final boss in the Rat King Doomsday dungeon! And that's still a weak one, no matter how you look at this one in front of you, it's a complete body! ”
The shrimp catcher grabbed two hand axes and shouted:
"It's a silver monster, isn't it? So do you have to summon a silver monster to break a trap? Nima's, when will this have to be dismantled?
Not to mention ten days, we may not be able to tear it all down in a month!
The development team of Dog Day has a hand in engaging people with a mentality. ”
"But on the other hand, this is indeed a paradise for monster farming, as long as you have the ability to eat it, one after another destruction and summoning will definitely make the raider make a lot of money.
This kind of material dropped by high-level monsters is recycled at a high price from Lady Trace, and playing twenty can make us rich. ”
Ah Ru pulled out his double knives and said with a regretful face:
"Alas, it's a shame we don't have that much time, otherwise this place would be worth a good brush. We're blocking this monster, car, and you're leading people out of the way.
Get ready to execute a backup plan now!
Immediately head over to the Swamp Forbidden Grounds, and we'll be there. ”
"Okay!"
——
The strategy on the Western Front was declared a failure after half an hour.
But no one laughed at the student party for this, on the contrary, everyone at the forum, including the party, expressed their "condolences" and comfort to them.
That's bad luck.
A road full of dangerous psionic traps was outrageous even when the eldest lady saw it, and when Murphy took a screenshot of the situation of that road and sent it to Trash, the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture made a judgment as a dignified psionic master:
"Even if I did, it would take days to safely dismantle all the sorcerers and necromancy traps, and your little players are still rudimentary in their use of psionic energy, and they can't guarantee that they won't activate other dangerous things that are connected together when they dismantle them.
The warlock who laid these traps had a hand, and it was a whole piece of traps that were laid out with a holistic mind.
I reckon there is a dedicated psionic core in the Mage Tower to manage these traps, and the best way to do this now is to abandon this path and attack the town from the other two directions!
Close all traps after entering the Mage Tower. ”
Tracey reminded:
"Anyway, don't let them try it casually, the undead in Plague Town are troublesome enough, and if more Hades creatures are summoned, the swamp will be completely unwanted.
The undead of the material world and the undead of the underworld are two very different concepts in terms of destructive power. ”
"Don't worry, my little players have chosen to give up sensibly, but I guess they might have other plans."
Murphy would fly high in the air, far away following the student party below along a strange route to the forbidden land in the eastern part of the swamp.
While hiding his figure, he said like Tracey was talking to him on the phone:
"They're heading to the Swamp Forbidden Lands.
If I'm not mistaken, these guys are planning to lure the Swamp Serpent into attacking Plaguetown, and I have to say, it's a pretty vicious but also pretty good idea.
I just don't know what method they plan to use to achieve this extremely dangerous 'wolf and tiger chase'? ”
"I think they can give up."
Tracey said in an inspiring tone:
"As far as I know, Ninki Nanka never leaves the forbidden land where they live, perhaps because there is some restraining force in it that existed before the ages.
When the previous four black plagues were the most violent, Ningji Nanka was not seen to come out of the forbidden land, and the death of the King of Biting Bones was also because it took the initiative to enter the swamp forbidden area.
It's like sending you to death.
So, if your players are trying to lure the serpent, they will most likely get a very disappointed result. ”
"I guess they know that themselves."
Murphy saw the student party gather and whisper.
He was about to lean over and eavesdrop, so he said to Tracey:
"Since they still choose to carry out this plan, it is worth giving them some confidence. I'll keep in touch with you here, but I'm going to appreciate their wisdom and cunning in the face of danger and stress from a first-person perspective.
I think they're going to do something hard work that stuns me. ”
With that, Murphy laughed and cut off the communication, hiding his figure in the shadows and quietly approaching the student party that was gathering below to discuss the plan.
As soon as he approached, he heard Pigeon Treasure say:
"Let's draw lots!
Whoever catches the short one is up to him to scout, and he must find the nest of Ningkinanka, and it is best to steal something that these giant snakes will never give up.
It's best if you have snake eggs. ”
"Damn, you're so lacking in virtue!"
"Ha, you don't lack virtue, what are you doing here? Why don't we go back and slowly tear down those traps? Are you confident that you can do it? I don't have it anyway!
We represent the dignity of students in the game! Now I can't say anything back.
Come on, come on, draw lots, catch lots. ”
Pigeon took out a handful of broken branches and asked the young vampires gathered around him to smoke one by one, and Ah Ru looked at the short wooden stick in his hand, and he scratched his head and said:
"Am I long or short?"
"You're stupid, don't you know how long it takes out and compares it with others?"
"Blanch! Draw a lot of life and death, don't open the yellow tongue. ”
"Hehe, you're still shy, didn't you play like this when we were assigned to a dormitory? He also said who is the longest and who will be the head of the house.
As a result, Pigeon Bao was stupid and unwilling to take it off, and at first glance he regarded his brothers as outsiders. ”
"I'm afraid of damaging your self-confidence, let's smoke it all, come, show it, brothers, see who is the shortest! Ha, the shortest car! Tsk tsk. ”
"! Lao Tzu will take off his pants now, and everyone will compare! Blanch, am I obviously the longest? ”
Master Murphy, who was hiding next to him, looked at the smiling students in front of him with a dumbfounded expression, and the car that was about to take off his pants but was held down by the other brothers and told him not to bring humiliation on himself.
He couldn't help but pat his face in the shadows, looking shocked.
Damn, are young people so good at playing now?
The way of choosing the head of the house is so unique. I really can't keep up with the times.
But you guys are serious!
I'm not an 18+ game!
Really, compared to Brother Woo Meow, you group of "little believers" are more qualified to be called "Big Bird Turn".
