Hurley is dead.

It didn't even make 40 kills and lost in the sixth five-man challenge.

This result is normal, not only because the 25 brothers in front of them are powerful enough and crazy enough, they know that they are cannon fodder for the mat knife but they don't have any complaints, just like the dark herd who activated the "crazy into the dead" is crazy and must play the limit DPS to prove his status before he dies.

In short, with the help of the "good pair of Decisive Wine" and the Last Fight Curse, when the cat brother of the sixth team stepped onto the challenge field with his four brothers, Lord Hurley's extra-long health bar had been cut to less than 20%.

Hey, as soon as you enter the battle, it's the killing stage!

The hardships we suffered all the way from Transencia can be regarded as the past, when did we fight this kind of rich battle?

What's more, in order to live up to the 25 brothers who were sent to death, Brother Cat appeared with the Cold Night Famous Blade, and his current attributes are completely unable to activate the conditions for the use of this Famous Blade, but this thing is at least sharp and strong enough, and it is one of the few divine weapons that can resist the decapitator of Vam head-on at this stage.

Brother Cat's own combat skills have reached the point of excellence among players, and only a weapon master like him can fight with Hurley in a short period of time, and even have the upper hand after he drank the decisive wine and burned his life.

There's not much to say.

The four fierce men, who are also warriors of the people's protectors, went crazy, and before Brother Mao "burned himself", he finally knocked Hurley to the ground with a ferocious slash from Lin Beigou.

The Grand Overseer was still trying to struggle, but was slashed down by the catbrother who pounced on him with a roar of his sword, and the head of the Great Good flew out in a splash of blood, representing the official end of the Death Challenge.

After the Overseer hung up, its gnolls guards became furious.

They ignored Hurley and Murphy's pact and began to charge with their weapons, but the more than 600 players and the best NPCs in Transencia who took the opportunity to recover in this final battle can give them a good face?

Especially after the restrictions in the engagement zone were lifted, the impatient Lord Heather, who had been waiting for a long time, personally rushed into the team of the last group of gnolls elite with his own guards, and the two round shields raised their knives and slashed out a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The Golden Man is not invincible in the worldly war, and there have been more than one instance of the Golden Man being consumed alive by the Gnolls in the Fourth Black Plague, but in this scene, if you want to make Lord Heather fall into a desperate situation, the number of elite barbarians of the Gnoll will be increased by more than ten or twenty times.

In short, when dawn approached, the elite of the Whiptail Clan was all reimbursed on this battlefield guarded by young players for eighteen days.

When the last gnoll was slashed off by Sister Pomegranate's ferocious wit, the remaining players let out the most joyful cheers in unison after the fierce battle.

Although they had already proven in the Battle of the Swamps that they could still gain a foothold on the continent without the intervention of NPCs, this Crazy Challenge announced that players already have the qualifications to do great things!

They are qualified enough to walk out of the cradle of Transansia, and with the advice and expectations of Lord Murphy and Grand Duke Tris, they will step into the Black Plague and the entire continent with their heads held high.

They will write their own legends!

There is no doubt about this anymore.

"Send a message to our fellow brothers in our guild who are still hesitating!"

Chenlong, a PVP madman who was sitting on the corpse of a jackal resting, gasped for breath, rubbed his aching and numb arm and said to Hai Zhu who was bandaging himself beside him:

"Let them fill out the application right away! The four of us have confirmed that there is a lot to be done here, it is much more exciting than other similar games, let the brothers hurry in, we are already a lot behind the other big guilds.

Everyone is starting to attack the stronghold, and we must catch up as soon as possible!

The Black Plague DLC is the best chance to catch up, there will never be a shortage of challenges in this chaotic land, and the best thing is that the PVE content of this game is more exciting than PVP, and the combat AI of these monsters is no worse than that of real people, which is simply a paradise for us militants! ”

"Uh-huh."

Hai Zhu did not have any objections.

He also showed a proud expression at this time, eighteen days ago he was a newcomer to the game, but now, he is already a level 18 black iron boss.

You just say that this upgrade is fast, right?

At the same time as these two guys were talking, the "three brothers" in the crowd were also talking to each other, they were members of the third regiment of Happy Stick, but when Brother Bang and the commanders were determined to help Qin Ye at the cost of failure, these three guys were supported to the battlefield as elites, and they were lucky to survive to the end.

This will be paid to touch the fish is saying to his two brothers:

"I decided! After going offline for a while, I will write a report and submit it to my superiors, this is the best place for military training! Look at this kind of actual combat environment, where can you find it in reality? ”

"Don't be stupid, we've passed the stage of focusing on personal bravery."

Carrying a commander-level alien war knife that was "dropped" from the elite Gnoll Little Overseer, he pouted and said while caressing the good equipment he had been lucky enough to hit:

"No matter how much you can fight, you can't withstand the grenade, I don't think this matter is hanging, the superiors are not stupid, we know a lot of things on the side of Brother Loyalty, at this stage, the two sides can't even communicate, why should people give us more places?"

"No, no, no, the idea of touching the fish makes sense."

The third child fed the fish with pay and threw mints in his mouth, shook his head and said:

"It's not just individual force that can be trained in actual combat here, we all see the performance and progress of Qin Ye's second regiment in the two rotations, we can practice real tactics here, if there are enough people here, even the staff officers can come in and try their hands, organize a strategic battle or something.

No matter how real the drill is, there is a script, but the AI here will not talk about martial arts with you.

What the real battlefield is like, what the situation changes here is like.

Let's write a report together.

I think Brother Zhong should approve it, he is worried about the lack of people now, and the work is not easy to carry out. ”

"Well, I'll do it when it's offline."

Glancing at the situation that had begun to be cleaned on the battlefield, he said in surprise:

"Hey, what about the banner of the Gnoll's Great Overseer? Wasn't it still here just now? ”

"That thing was taken away by Lady Trace."

The old man who dragged the halberd tiredly walked through the mud cart here waved his hand and said:

"Maybe it's going to be brought back to the Crimson Keep as a souvenir, isn't that also a high-level psionic item? Are you still going to stay here? I really just want to find a place to take a break right now. It's going to take a day before the event settles, why don't we go back to the Black Flame Pass together? ”

"The portal is open, and voila!"

Paid Eater pointed to the place behind him where the scarlet battle flag was flying, where the psionics of the Red Devil Pavilion had already forged more than a dozen portals.

That was the shortest path back to the Black Flame Pass.

The surviving players were so tired that they picked up their drops and returned to their resting places in twos and threes, but the Happy Bars were in no hurry.

He stood under the flying blood-red battle flag, looking up at the flag that had been stained with blood and war traces in the 18-day battle, and after being silent for a few seconds, he took a screenshot of the blood flag fluttering and sent it to Qin Ye on the forum, and the old man replied:

"We're okay, right? Small sticks. ”

"Far from it."

Happy Bar pouted in response:

"If this is a real war, we have nearly 2,000 soldiers under our hands, and we are facing an enemy with cold weapons and fighting like this, losing our official positions is the best result, and we will really have to go to court-martial.

Master Qin, don't test me.

I'm just an ordinary player and a common man now, and I don't know what you're doing and I don't want to know, but if you need it, I can transfer the position of the head of the Hammer and Sickle Regiment to you, and I'll take my brothers to start a new one. ”

", I think of your broken guild?"

Lao Qin's interest seemed to be good, and he typed and scolded:

"It's not to recruit you into the organization, what are you afraid of? As long as you cooperate with us at a critical moment later, we don't give you a formal setup, don't worry, you can enjoy your gaming career to the fullest.

But on some major issues of right and wrong, you have to grasp it. ”

"You're in charge?"

Brother Bang was a little hesitant, but he still asked, and Qin Ye replied with a grinning expression, which made Brother Bang feel at ease.

He immediately replied:

"That's okay, in the future, where Qin Ye tells us to fight, we will go to the hammer and sickle group, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will never frown, but can you reveal what the next goal is? So that I can be prepared. ”

"There's no goal, it's still the exploration stage."

Lao Qin waited for several seconds before typing and said:

"If you find anything, please remember to notify us in time, this side will send someone, those mysterious observers don't want the current state of both sides to be broken, and we have no intention of deliberately advancing or disrupting the progress of the game.

You can give your meow brother a thorough explanation, they found something 'interesting' when they were wandering around, or you can go to Brother Loyalty, and we will give you a stipend. ”

"Oh, a bounty, I know."

Brother Bang grinned and said:

"Is this perk in-game or out-of-game? You see, chief, I still have a big family of brothers to raise, I can't always eat the money of the little rich brother, that kid is kind-hearted, I am embarrassed to pit him. ”

"There is a grant for this project."

Lao Qin said thoroughly:

"The more things you find, the more money we can apply for, and you have to understand that this thing is essentially 'Atlas Exploration', and there was no standard process before.

If there is a discovery that is useful to the family, there will definitely be a reward or something, but don't spread the word about it.

We don't do things that high-profile. ”

"Understand, white gloves, Brother Meow is so shrewd that he will definitely agree, so do you want to give the bottom over there in the Silver Moon Group?"

Brother Bang asked again with a full dog-legged posture at this time, and Qin Ye hesitated for a moment and said:

"Their situation is special, don't get involved, they have other tasks."

"Whew, okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements."

Happy Bar nodded.

He was about to leave here to go offline to rest, but he saw Qin Ye typing with a sigh and said:

"Hey, it's not like dying in bed, it's okay."

"That's unlucky."

Brother Bang immediately patted his ass and said:

"You're sure you'll live a long life."

"Bullshit, who can live hundreds of years like a turtle? Death is death, Lao Tzu almost died on the battlefield when he was young, I am not afraid. ”

Lao Qin said:

"I'm getting old, and I really didn't expect to come to fight the otherworldly people on the last trip, but my old arms and legs must have no problem surviving the black plague.

A stable base is what we need, and at the moment, it seems that Transnica is undoubtedly the most suitable base to advance, so, little stick, there must be no problems on the Maginot Line!

If something goes wrong, the first one to take you is asking! ”

"Yes! Heads. ”

——

"Bang"

The Whiptail Clan's Grand Overseer's banner was tossed to the ground by Trash, and the Grand Duke of the Bloods flapped his wings as he watched the young gnoll sliding down the tree in front of him.

She stared at Popok, causing him to tremble for a while.

But Tracey didn't look at him at all, flapping her wings and levitating in the air to create a small storm, and she said to Popok in the standard Dark Mountain Jackal language:

"According to our agreement with Lord Virtuous Wolf, this thing is yours, Hurley is dead, and its core army has been wiped out by the Transnsians, you should know what to do when you return to the camp with the battle flag.

The virtuous wolf has other arrangements for you, so I won't say anything more.

Let's go back.

Bring your men back before the army of the Black Flame Pass sweeps through this area. ”

Popock bowed his head and did not speak, he trembled forward to touch the battle flag that he had not been allowed to approach at all, and as Tracey turned to leave, the gnolls dared to ask:

"My lord, can you tell me what the hell are you doing with Lord Virtuous Wolf? I. Although I have made up my mind to follow the virtuous wolf, I am still a little scared. I'm not promising, but I won't do anything to hurt my people! ”

"Not a bad thing, Popok."

Tracey glanced back at the gnoll chosen by Hogg, and said:

"Hogg is the chosen heir of the Lord of Biting, and it will bring about a change in your civilization, and we can't tell you what we're doing at this stage, but I guess the wolf will soon tell you the truth.

If you really believe it.

You will become a hero of the Gnoll and will be recorded in the history of the Gnoll! You can even become an even more powerful Overseer than Hurley, if you know right from wrong.

Let's go back.

Rescuing a team of Pioneers on the verge of collapse can also make a big difference in your career, without fear and doubt.

You're doing the right thing. ”

Tracey also has the ability to desire, although she doesn't usually use it much, but seeing that Murphy uses it so skillfully, Tracey's cleverness has already eaten this thing thoroughly.

It was easy to use the power of desire to adjust Popock's heartstrings, the young gnoll had already been frightened when he saw the defeat of Archoverseer Hurley, and the defeat of Sanguan was the best time to carry private goods.

Tracey is quite adept at this kind of thing.

As she said, when she was beautiful, she was not famous for her image as a good old man.

Watching Popok leave with the Gnoll Banner, Grand Duke Bloodvulture grinned in the darkness of the night, turned and flapped his wing-like wings, and lifted himself into the air with just a few swings.

Murphy was waiting for her in the dark night of the approaching dawn, making the vampire lord look elegant and mysterious in the light of the moonlight.

"The good news is that Hogg has chosen an unworldly but well-born gnolll to be his first friend in the Dark Mountains. The bad news is that the guy has little faith in Hogg's career and may turn back. ”

Tracey said beside Murphy:

"Hogg chose this guy almost as a template for the Gnolls, and the Virtuous Wolf probably intended to woo the Black-Eyed Clan, and with the Plague Clan, it had the first crowbar to pry the Gnoll's system.

But that's not enough.

Hogg must co-opt at least one large clan before the Black Plague advances to its worst stage in order for it to have a chance of entering the Mossy Valley. ”

"Our wolf knows exactly what he's doing, Trace."

Murphy shook his head and said:

"We should trust Hogg's strengthened brain, which can convince kings and lords to support it as a foreign race in Brass Fortress, and I believe that convincing a chief will be no problem.

Hogg's side doesn't have to worry for the time being.

We now have to do our duty, and once Popok flees back to the territory of the Gnolls with the vanguard of the rout, it will not be long before a real army reaches the Black Flame Pass.

The Black Plague is coming.

No, it's already here.

I've also collected enough combat effectiveness comparison data, and the direction of strengthening the player base after the closed beta is over, so it's time for you and me, as the development team, to put the closed beta on the agenda.

Seven days later, the 'version upgrade' will take place! This upgrade will cover all aspects of the game's current architecture, and now that I've got a first draft, it's up to you, Femis, and Miriam to revamp it.

But now, it's time to inform players everywhere of the good news in advance. ”

Tracey nodded.

She asked:

"But how to solve the manpower problem? In the current situation, it is impossible for the population of Transencia to increase rapidly, shouldn't the internal test increase the speed of giving places? But how do you get more spots? ”

"You can prevaricate with a server upgrade in the early stage. I'm waiting for an opportunity. ”

Murphy took out the defensive strategy submitted by the Happy Stick, handed it to Tracy, and said:

"If everything goes according to our commander's plan, at most a month or two, we will be able to eat a full belly at a time, and we won't have to worry about player slots for a long time after that."

Tracy looked at the strategic plan in her hand, and after more than ten seconds, she sighed and said:

"Cato, King Louis will not allow you to be so bold, if you do, the end of the Black Plague will be the beginning of the war between the Plantagenet Kingdom and Transnesia."

"So what does it matter? Anyway, the two sides are not friends in the first place."

Murphy snorted and said:

"I'm just taking back what they want on behalf of my people, and that will make Translasia more united!

Sooner or later, this battle was going to be fought, and I didn't do it too well, Fraser and his army were in the Valley of the Shadows, which was the eyes of Loren and King Louis, and the news he reported was enough for them to adjust their strategy one last time.

They still have a chance to protect Cato, rather than expecting the Wolf Venom Clan to protect the land.

One last reason.

As a development team, we have to plan for the follow-up expansion, which is a necessary quality for dog planning.

Take one last look at the scenery, my dear Trace, for we won't have such leisure for a long time to come. ”
