Murphy soon returned to Fort Courage with the slashed players, who had made a big deal.

After all, it is an elite voodoo army that specializes in guarding the claw splitting mother, and the equipment dropped by each member is very golden, the only pity is that the armor that is pulled off is "exclusive to the jackals", and players of other races can't use it.

None of these things are armor made of steel, and even blacksmiths can't modify them, but considering that there will definitely be jackal players in the future, you can sell these equipment for a few bucks when you have them in advance.

There is already an online equipment trading platform on the Translancia Bistro APP, and the good things in the hands of players can finally be circulated, which is an epic improvement for the equipment value retention of "Real Otherworld".

The only regret is that the fall of the Claw Splitter Mother was hairy by Master Murphy.

But this is also understandable, after all, the Claw Splitter Mother was killed by Lord Murphy summoning the mighty astral demigods, and the players didn't even have time to make an assist to rub a damage, not even effective damage, and the fall of the boss must not have their share.

This is the only thing that makes players unhappy after this cool and crazy counterattack revenge, but considering that the equipment of "Real Otherworld" will not suddenly disappear as long as it is generated, it is possible that these equipment will be returned to players in the form of quest rewards in the future.

Of course, the joys and sorrows of the players are destined to be short-lived.

This time, the casualties of the players in the Black Flame Pass incident were once again very heavy, and two-thirds of the brothers and sisters went offline to receive a boxed lunch for various reasons, and they were about to discuss the capture and it was estimated that they would have to wait until everyone was resurrected three days later.

But for the NPCs, the death of the Claw Splitter is a real big deal.

In particular, Murphy also brought back the contents of the war chariot that was weathered and destroyed by Mannes with "Poison of Time", and the rather unique gem skull throne of the Splittal Mother was left by Murphy in the lobby of the main building of Fort Courage.

Under the watchful eyes of the followers of Avalon, Sue, and Vam, as well as the warriors of the Black Flame Pass, Murphy pulled out the chest and placed Portana's head on the throne.

At this moment, even the most determined, low-key, and calm Blood Alliance knights and winter wolf ascetics couldn't help but let out cheers.

It's the head of a great jackal chief!

Even in the last Black Plague that spread throughout the world, such a capture was anything but unusual, and Portana's death and the destruction of the Claw Army were enough to comfort the dead and wounded in the Black Flame Pass.

"These two items will be sent to the Valley of the Shadows to comfort the dead and survivors, and then they will be returned here and permanently placed in Fort Courage."

Murphy turned back to the three Guardians of the Faith, Eugene Sr., Guru Yuri, and Captain Froam Gordonus:

"They will serve as the last memorial of the Black Flame Pass War, and along with the Blood Banner, they will be the hidden war relics of Fort Courage, but I think you should know what that means."

"Yes, we know."

Old Eugene sang the name of Avalon with a religious symbol on his chest, saying:

"The Splittals are still here, their vengeance will be more violent and ruthless, and once the news of Potana's skulls and her chieftaincy's throne is revealed, Fort Courage will be threatened like never before.

With the Black Flame Pass razed and destroyed, it will become the only stronghold and fortress of the civilization faction in the Dark Mountains.

Like the only light in front of the tide of darkness. ”

"Fort Courage may be destroyed in war, and we may be reduced to dust in the first wave of attacks by the Splittal Clan."

Guru Yuri, the head monk of the Wolf God's Vision Sect, stretched out his hand and touched the skull of the jackal, which had lost all power, and he seemed to be filled with courage from this, and he recited Sue's name and whispered:

"Fort Courage will be crowned with great glory, but we will also be threatened with terrible things, yet we all know that it is absolutely necessary for the war that follows."

"Then let them come!"

Vam's followers were truly extraordinary.

The Frodeaux warrior laughed and opened his arms, and the barbarian warrior from the Frozen Bay shouted in a thunderous voice:

"All the lads of the entire Icebay will aspire to their glory at Fort Grit, and every aspiring barbarian warrior will aspire to leave their legend here. It's going to be a crazy bloody battle that will please Vam for a thousand years, and I can't wait to see it coming!

This will be the Shrine of War for the Berserkers!

I have a glimpse of the future of iron and blood, and I will issue a request to the War Masters of the Temple of the Berserker, where the wildest and most furious Berserkers and Shieldmaidens of the Frozen Bay will gather!

Ah, the good times, the most glorious war years revealed in the dream of Vam, are finally about to begin! ”

The roar of the barbarian warrior leader caused not only the two Guardians of the Faith next to him to look at each other.

Even Murphy was a little speechless, but don't you really say it, when a crazy war is about to begin, it's eerily reassuring to have a rampaging god like Vam by his side.

Even when everyone lays down their arms, this guy and his followers will fight passionately until the day the world is destroyed.

"You, Murphy Governor of the Translancians!"

Captain Frode, the warrior leader, remembered when he was down to business, and the grumpy man, who was as bare as a bear and wearing only a bear skin, pointed to Murphy's nose, and he shouted very rudely:

"It is said that a group of Wam followers were born under your command, and I was intrigued by the soldiers who came down from the battlefield to praise their courage and aggressiveness.

Although our God has been trying to find followers in the world outside the barbarians, for our followers, we do not accept the weak as our peers! Our god had developed a band of berserkers before, but they were so weak that their tribe was wiped out by us after a disgusting, boring battle!

Let your Vam Walkers come here!

I'm going to put them to the test at Fort Courage, and if their war purity is too low, then you'll have to be ready to say goodbye to them forever.

We, the Vam barbarians, will never accept the shrine of the weak to worship Vam! ”

it!

Murphy was dumbfounded when he said this.

He originally thought that Vam's faith could not be carried forward on the mainland, just because Vam was too upside down, and ordinary people could not accept that tyrannical god.

But he really didn't expect that the reason why Vam's faith had not been able to rise was not only due to the factors of the berserker itself, but also related to his group of crazy believers?

Your family god managed to develop a few believers outside, but because they were too weak, you ran to destroy them?

Can it still be like this?

No wonder Vam has been around for hundreds of years and is still a weak god!

As far as you madmen are concerned, it's a hell of a hell for this berserker sect to develop.

"I'll let them come, and I don't think they'll be afraid of such a challenge, in fact, my warriors are just offering faith to Vam and learning the art of the Berserkers in the future, you have to teach them well."

Murphy nodded and pointed to the various brutal weapons that the players had captured from the Voodoo Army, indicating that they could be used as "tuition" for the Berserker players.

Warrior Captain Frode snorted, and the barbarian, whose skin was tattooed with various war runes, snorted, and said disdainfully:

"We don't need tuition, we don't use weapons that we didn't build or capture, if we want to learn combat skills, let's wait until they are not killed by us."

With that, the impudent creature turned and walked away, leaving Murphy and the two Guardians of the Faith to remain awkwardly silent.

"That's all these brutes."

Guru Yuri, who had always been kind to others, sighed, and with a hint of disgust, he explained to Murphy:

"Not only do they resist all the weak to join Vam's faith, but they show no mercy to their kind, and you may have heard of the bands of Chaos barbarians in the Far North, the faithless barbarian tribes that are the greatest threat to Nordtorf's north.

But you don't know, the Chaos Barbarians used to inhabit the Frozen Bay.

The Western Saharians had the same blood as the Vam barbarians, but after the rise of the Vam faith, the Vam barbarians fought everywhere and drove the tribes they considered weak to the far north, which is why the situation in the north has deteriorated so much.

When Vam was first born, his relationship with my god was not bad to this point.

But unfortunately, the Berserker believes in God, and his face is affected by the actions of the believer, and it is precisely because of the violent and savage habits of the Vam barbarians that Vam and Su fought in a series of battles.

My God is helpless about this.

He was powerful but not warmongering, but Vam's faith was outrageous in every way.

You don't have to care about the rudeness of these brutes, they treat everyone like that. ”

"We need their belligerence now."

Murphy shook his head and said:

"If they can help defend Fort Courage, it's just rude and humiliating, and my eyes aren't that small. I must go back to the Valley of the Shadows now, and I'll leave it to you for now, and I'll soon send some warriors to be stationed here, and you can ask them if you have any difficulties.

They will help you. ”

"I've been in Transencia for a long time, Your Excellency the Governor, and I know how to deal with your warriors."

Guru Yuri smiled, he nodded and said:

"It's not often in my life that the God of the North Wind would be so interested in a race, and if your warriors wish to walk the path of winter, I'll do my best to help them."

With that, the Winter Wolf Warrior Monk saluted Murphy and turned to leave.

When only old Eugene was here, Murphy relaxed a lot.

He and old Eugene were also old acquaintances, so he no longer hid it, and told him about the elves and the Avalon Holy Blade.

The Vampire Governor said:

"Captain Dams saw our counterattack with his own eyes, and I believe he will fulfill his promise to inform the Elven King of Transcia's request, but you will have to talk to those elves about retrieving the Holy Blade in the future."

"Thank you for your assistance, my lord."

Old Eugene was overjoyed, and he exclaimed:

"I will select a dedicated Catholic to go to the Elven Embassy in Genoa to advance this matter, and the return of those Holy Blades heralds the resurgence of the faith in Avalon, which is a truly good act.

However, you say that the elf told you that our Holy Grail may have returned to the island of Gramo after a decade of chaos? ”

The old witch hunter frowned and said:

"It sounds incredible, I'll send someone back to the Plantagenet Kingdom to confirm this."

"Well, let's make sure that the news is true or not, and if we can broker the return of the Holy Grail to the Church through diplomatic means, then it will be good for both of us."

Murphy nodded and said:

"If King Louis doesn't know what to do, we're not out of the question, Lord Eugene, and I would like to ask you, what was your relationship with those people on the island of Helms during your time in Greene?"

"Huh?"

This question made old Eugene raise his eyebrows in surprise, he glanced at Murphy, and then whispered:

"The islanders of Helms are very simple and simple. At the extreme, they were very unhappy with the Sealand annexation of Greeney Island, but even I had to admit that the Helms were very warlike and that they had embraced the Druid branch of the Church of Avalon.

For some time, King Louis used faith to reconcile the relationship between the kingdom and the kingdom, but after the collapse of the Old Religion, Helms and the kingdom of Plantagenet gradually drifted apart.

Now it is known as the 'Island of Traitors'.

You mean, if you can't get the Holy Grail back diplomatically, you want to use the power of the Helmsians? ”

"It's not that I want to rely on their aid, it's that they now have a common enemy with us."

Murphy explains:

"The Twilight cultist has stolen some ancestral bones from the Helms Islanders' necropolis, where a group called the 'Helms Rangers' has been tracking them after they have relayed their request for cooperation to us through the channels of the Thorn Clan.

I suspect they're watching the war from the dark.

Now that we've defeated the gnolls and thwarted Twilight's plot, they'll see what we're capable of, so if I'm not too careful, those guys might soon come to the door for cooperation.

I'm happy to work with them.

But if you've had a relationship before, then I'd be happy to leave the partnership to Avalon. ”

"Well, in the face of the evil that is being done, the righteous walkers always need to act together! This is the right way. ”

Old Eugene nodded and said:

"Then you can go and find my companion Marianne.

Although she is now just a lonely old woman that no one wants, the Doolittle family from which she was born is well-known in the upper circles of Helms Island, but it is a pity that Marianne was unladylike when she was young and was tricked into the Cato area by a damn scumbag.

If it weren't for the help of the parishioners, she would have died there.

After that, Marianne joined the Southern Church and eventually became a master witch hunter.

This is her taboo, and few people know about it.

But now that you need to work with the Helmsians, and this is at stake for our Avalon Grail, then Marianne has a role to play. ”

"Well, you don't have to tell me about this dark history of Mama Marianne, I'm afraid I'll be shot in the head by her if I hear this."

Murphy complained, causing old Eugene to grin, and then he also retired.

The Vampire Governor stood alone in the hall, looking back at the Voodoo Throne and the old gnoll head that had faded slightly from the wash of time, both of which meant the end of the story of the Black Flame Pass.

The first phase of the Black Plague in the direction of Transencia has also come to an end, and the rest of the war will only be more difficult, and Murphy will have to start another game on the hidden battlefield against Dusk.

Source.

This is by far the most conflicting enemy on his side in the Twilight faction, and after crossing the last line with Tracy, Murphy is fed up with the guys who have jumped up and down in the Black Flame Pass War.

If they hadn't intervened, none of this would have turned into the current tragic situation.

Murphy took out Lord Heather's Life Candle.

The candle engraved with runes was still burning slowly, not emitting a trace of heat, and he placed it in front of the head of the gnoll chief.

He took out his notebook, flipped to a page and wrote on it the names of the Battle of the Black Flame Pass and Lord Heather, and said to the flickering flame of the candle:

"New hatreds have been recorded, and at the time of reckoning, all this will be balanced! Every blood debt must be repaid, and I avenge your position, but we both know this is just the beginning. One day you will return to the physical world, my friend, and then I will invite you to join you on this path of reckoning.

We are vampires.

We are ghosts under midnight.

We are never hypocritical, nor are we merciful.

Watch it all from the stars! The Book of Hate is still a tradition of your dwarves, and I hope you won't miss that moment of revenge. ”
