It had been five minutes since Murphy and Maxim came out of the meeting room.

Because he couldn't handle the strength of Time Exile for the first time, Murphy exhausted himself to the extreme.

After all, the spell's casting resource is not psionic energy, but the user's "energy bar", and Murphy is clearly an energetic vampire, so poor Maxim has to relive his five minutes as a baby.

What's even more terrifying is that Maxim's consciousness was completely awake for the entire five minutes.

As he "relearned" to crawl, he finally recovered from that awkward state to his normal size, but General Maxim grimly refused to explain anything more about his new pants and clothes.

Murphy also changed his clothes, but he brought it on himself.

"What an evil force!"

Maxim's loyalty did not allow him to speak out against his master, but he would still sigh with a straight face:

"But I also have to admit that this power makes you no longer afraid of any threat of trying to approach you to carry out assassinations, yet I would say that it is inhumane to use such spells on your own minions, master.

If you want to punish me, you can pick up the whip."

"I've apologized, my God, Mark, for the sake of my nice clothes that you ruined, can't you be generous and act as if nothing happened?"

Murphy rubbed his aching forehead and complained.

Maxim, who has always been introverted, refuted Murphy for the first time at this moment:

"You said it lightly, and it wasn't your Midnight Mother who was incontinent, my glory and the way of a warrior I insisted on were all ruined by those five minutes. From this point on, your new powers can definitely deal a double terrible blow to your enemies, both physically and mentally.

Please use it with caution. ”

"I promise, there's no next time."

Murphy waved his hands against the wall next to him, letting his energy bar slowly recover, and he asked:

"So, how is your army ready? Is it possible to enter the swamp now? ”

"Hmm!"

Speaking of business, Maxim's attitude immediately changed to seriousness, he said:

"The KPA's 3,000 trainees and 3,000 recruits are ready to move forward, and I have already obtained a record of the entire battle of Plaguetown from Adele.

I noticed that during the bombing operation called 'Path of Ashes', our Warriors launched a deadly and efficient bombardment of the Skeleton Army's command node, but this bombardment only destroyed the Skeleton Army's command node.

A large number of undead are roaming the Filthy Swamp, and the Plague Clan still has garrisons on the other two swamp psionic nodes except Plaguetown.

Now that the town of Plague that is holding us back has been conquered, I make a request that I will lead the soldiers into the swamp and carry out the next step for your plan!

In thirty days, we will traverse the Filthy Swamp and join the Knights of the Blood Alliance on the Badlands line to advance Translancia's resistance to the Gnolls into their territory.

It will be a test of the hearts and minds of the soldiers, but I believe that as long as they can reach the Barren Mountains on their own, then they will become the most elite defense force in Translasia! ”

"Very good, very good plan, I agreed, you can execute it."

Murphy nodded and said:

"But you need to take the Plantagenet with you, at least a squad of their vanguard and their artillery. I know you have a problem with the Pioneer Legion, and I don't really like them, but if they are willing to be our allies in the Black Calamity, then they can be trusted.

After you set out, the Brotherhood of Stonemasons will have a team of skilled workers to build a road through the swamp, so you'll also be responsible for cutting down trees along the way and clearing a path that is not very wide, but at least allows hussars and ordinary cavalry to pass quickly.

Adele's upcoming 'Homecoming' operation will plan the route for you in advance, just follow the signs they left behind. ”

"Well, it will slow down the march, but I don't think my army has a problem!"

Maxim said in a deep voice:

"On my return to the Crimson Keep, His Excellency Kudel, who was stationed on the Maginot Line, asked me to bring you a message that I was going well with the construction of the Line, and that they could complete the basic construction of the surface fortifications of the Line before the second snow fell in Transnesia.

However, Lord Kudell also asks that you find a dwarven priest who can exert the power of the earth on the defenses as soon as possible, or the defenses we have worked so hard to build will collapse overnight under the enemy's fossil mud spells. ”

"I've contacted the Silver Dwarf about this."

Murphy folded his hands behind his back, and moved forward steadily with the demeanor of a ruler, and responded:

"Marshal Loren told me that in a week there would be a ten-man force of earth priests to follow the supply convoy of the Plantagenet Vanguard Army, and that they would reach the Maginot Line in fifteen days at the latest.

Kudell doesn't have to worry about that, I'll take care of it for them.

Are there any other military issues that I can help with? I don't know anything about military affairs, but I can at least help you with the logistics.

We have plenty of resources right now, so just say what you need.

Don't wait until after the actual war has started to come to me, when I have the means to help you resupply quickly. ”

"No, master."

Maxim shook his head and said:

"The firearms we need have to be slowly made in the arsenal, which is urgent, but I firmly believe that even without muskets and bullets, our soldiers can fight the gnolls.

However, something you need to know has happened in the KPA garrison in the last few days, General Baldwin of the Winter Wolf Legion has sent an emissary, and he has offered to release some of the armed blood servants of the Crimean fortress to us.

I personally went to the Crimean fortress and talked to the blood servants.

They may not be loyal to our new regime, but they don't want to serve the Northerners, and I think these people are something to fight for, masters.

The armed blood servants stationed in the Crimean fortress are different from the blood servants in other places, they are truly one in a hundred elites! They can even be pulled directly into the battlefield without much training, and their will to fight is not bad. ”

"You can't integrate them directly into the combat unit, Mark, I'd rather not have them than let our hard-fought army return to the era of blood servants."

Murphy vetoed, but then he thought for a moment and said:

"Reply to General Baldwin on my behalf, that we can take those Blood Servants and be willing to pay a certain ransom for them, so that he can send them to the Maginot Line.

Let them do the work first.

I believe that this kind of labor reform can help us distinguish who is available and who has evil intentions, and there is a real shortage of people on the Happy Bar side. ”

Maxim nodded.

He had a lot to report when he came back this time, but seeing that Murphy was running out of energy and constantly rubbing his eyebrows, the loyal servant decided to transfer those tedious matters to the consul.

He tried to convince Murphy to go back to rest, but as the two of them approached the office, Grand Duke Tris rushed out of the smoke-emitting lab with a jar of emerald alchemical medicine.

Her face was covered in smoke and ash, and when she saw Murphy, she complained:

"Aren't you, the Astral Guardian Infinite Mannes, a villain? But I think it's too honest this time! We just needed the toxin that it harmed Orr to match the potion, and it even fused its own astral power into the toxin.

That bastard's generosity almost made me blow up my lab.

I now suspect that the guy who can travel freely through the river of time is definitely on purpose! ”

"But what about the potion?"

Murphy looked at the turquoise medicine in Tracy's hand, and he asked:

"Is it already configured?"

"Of course, it's just an antidote, and there's no technical difficulty, except for preventing the power of the Endless from harming me, I can complete the other steps with my eyes closed."

Tracey wiped her cheeks with a lightly scented handkerchief as she looked Murphy up and down, nodding her head in satisfaction after confirming that her cutie had mastered the power of Mannes and had recovered from her old age.

Cleaning the black ash from her body, and reaching out to touch the white strand on Murphy's left sideburns, she frowned and said:

"Can't any of this be undone?"

"No, it can be restored, but it's not necessary."

Murphy grinned and said very stinkingly:

"Don't you think it looks like a 'story' to give me a strand of gray hair with black hair?"

"Well, I haven't seen many stories on your youthful and beautiful face, but there must have been an accident revealed by this strand of gray hair."

Tracey rolled her lovely eyes, shook her head, and said:

"Let's go, settle the matter of Orr, and send Maxim back to his camp by the way."

"I still don't have to use astral teleportation, Lady Trissy. The flight path of the vulture that the mountain people have just set up is very convenient, and even if I don't sit on the vulture, it will only take me an hour or two to fly back by myself. ”

Maxim, a melee combatant, has always had a deep-seated distrust of the astral teleportation thing, not to mention that there are quite a few people who have suffered teleportation accidents among young players.

However, Murphy waved his hand very generously this time and said:

"Don't worry, Mark, we have people in the Astral Plane now! Even if you really stumble into it, you will be sent out safely by Manneth, and there will be no more troubles about being inexplicably lost in the astral plane. Hmm, I should probably make it an easter egg.

This is an insurance policy for the famous unlucky people who are fighting with teleporters. ”

——

Triss didn't have a moth in her teleportation this time, and the three of them arrived at Wolfsburg smoothly.

The hard-working kobolds have almost cleaned up the place, but unfortunately the Warlock Tower is completely destroyed, under the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery of the Plantagenet Kingdom, only one-third of the height of the tower that has been impacted by Orr is now intact, and the remaining parts need to be "renovated".

But that's a good thing for some guys.

For example, the triumphant psionic Scout Lord Heru would stand in front of the wreckage of the Warlock Tower in his most luxurious robes, looking at the mage tower waiting to be repaired in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Although Tris had previously invited Heru to settle in the secondary tower of the Midnight Tower, which would be completed in a month, as the host psionist, Heru repeatedly compared his own strength, and after discussing it with his little aunt Amber a few times, he felt that his strength was too poor, not to mention the local NPCs, and now the first-tier psionics in the player surpassed him in terms of destructive power.

Therefore, Heru wisely declined Lady Tris's invitation.

He would indeed have a mage tower of his own to "glorify his ancestors", but he chose his mage tower in the place of Wolf Castle.

Using the restored tower of the destroyed Warlock Tower as his base, he can avoid malicious competition from his "peers" while staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and he can also make a transcendent image of a "hermit" to bluff people, which is simply not perfect.

Moreover, Heru also received authorization from the eldest lady to recruit students with reconnaissance psionic talents in Wolfsburg to continuously train professional detective psionics for Translancia.

For this reason, after the first snow fell, Archon Miriam also held a small ceremony to confer the title of "Baron of Pioneers" in Transancia, who was about to leave the swamp.

Although there was no fiefdom, Heru was already very satisfied with his current situation.

He knew that as long as he successfully survived the black plague, then he would be able to realize his simple wish when he left his hometown, and truly glorify his ancestors.

However, Master Heru also has a mission in Wolfsburg.

He had to complete the construction of the semi-permanent portal from Wolfsburg to Crimson Keep within a month, and Lady Triss and the eldest lady provided him with all the materials, but the workload was also very stressful for Heru without the help of an apprentice.

What?

You say that Heru had an apprentice?

That's right, he does have Yansang as his apprentice, but Heru himself hasn't seen Yansang for almost thirty days, and the dog doesn't know where to go, and he doesn't even write a letter, and Yansang obviously doesn't have himself as a mentor in his heart.

Alas, the master is unlucky.

"Huh? Master Murphy, Grand Duke Tris, and General Maxim? Are you here? ”

Heru quickly sensed the vibration of the nearby psionic energy, and he held his staff vigilantly, but soon found out that it was his own person, and he didn't force it to get close, and then as expected, he was caught by Murphy.

"You use your psionic hand to help us apply these potions to Orr's wounds, don't be afraid, Orr won't bite you, I've told it all, it knows we're healing it.

It will hold back the pain. ”

Murphy diluted the potion that Trith had brought with ten to one of the potions, and handed one of the cans to Heru, and the weak scout looked at the swamp serpent with eyes bigger than the others, and for a moment wanted to give himself a few mouths.

Can you ask more about Lord Murphy?

See!

Mouthy has put himself in this predicament.

That's the legendary serpent!

He didn't even use his teeth to bite himself, just activating the blindness spell of the gem scales was enough for himself to drink a pot, and seeing Heru's two trembling timid looks, Murphy shrugged his shoulders and leaned over to say a few words to Heru's ear.

When he heard that the serpent might give him some "lost treasure", the panic in Heru's heart was immediately driven away by the joy he might receive.

He happily followed Maxim around the serpent's back, and began to use his psionic hand to smear the medicine on Orna's badly injured back.

"We only need to neutralize the poison of time that Mannez left in Orr's body, and with the self-healing ability of the legendary creature, we don't need to worry about the rest."

Tracy flew in the air, using a mist spell to infuse the potion into the serpent's massive wound, and said to Murphy:

"But the power of this Venom of Mannis is truly terrifying, and I think you can ask for a little more from it, and I will prepare a special sword oil for you. If even the Toxin Master of Ninki Nanka can't resist the Endless One's toxins, it means that the poison will be effective for most of the life in the physical world.

Time.

Time is one of the most toxic substances in the world. ”

"If its toxin is really terrifying, I don't have to worry about anyone running for their lives under my sword, Tris."

Murphy apparently thought of more, and he sighed and said:

"A weapon capable of carrying that kind of toxin is rare in the world, and I can hardly use it on any weapon other than the necessary evil. Speaking of which, after rescuing Orr, we can stop by and take a look at the personal arsenal in the exhibition hall.

There are also 48 personal defense devices.

I'm curious to see what the weapons and armor produced by the machines left behind by the Creator will have a different effect. By the way, we can enjoy the curator's private bathroom and experience the future life created by the Creator. ”

"Huh?"

Tracy glanced at Murphy and said:

"But it was a single bathroom. Ah, I see, you little scoundrel! ”

The two flirted as if no one was in the air, and this scene saw Heru frequently raise his head, as a member of the top of Translasia, Heru's understanding of the emotional topic of Lord Murphy and Lady Triss was limited to the various gossips that went viral.

But looking at this scene now, it is estimated that those gossips are not groundless.

Just as he was thinking about some "danger", the giant snake lying below for treatment suddenly let out an exhilarating hiss, and Huo Ran got up without Heru reacting, and in the shaking of the earth when the giant beast woke up and Heru fell into the quagmire, the expelled toxin Orr seemed to come back to life at once.

As a swamp spirit, it can finally draw life force from its surroundings to heal itself, and although it still hurts, the feeling of rebirth makes the serpent extremely happy.

Even the little Cavendina with it on its head echoed with a childish howl.

In other words, this little giant snake grows so fast, it only took three days to break out of its shell and grow to half a human height, but it is still a rookie compared to Orr's terrifying size.

"Listen, Orr is thanking us."

Murphy hovered in the air, holding Tracy in his arms and whispered:

"It can finally let go of the mustard in its heart, you say, if we tell the story of Orr to Lord Pa Ying, will he feel sadness and regret for killing Orr's spouse a thousand years ago?"

"Probably not."

Tracey shook her head and said:

"There is no word 'regret' in the character of the Lord, although I don't know what happened here thousands of years ago, but being able to fight a creature like the Serpent alone shows that the situation back then was very complicated, and it was by no means a simple good or evil that could be judged

Well?

Orr is gesturing us to follow?

It seems to have something to hand us over?

Wow, is that a sign of gratitude? ”
