793.The Death Moon Sect's Unprecedented Feat-New Year's Update [26/30]
"What? The gnolls sent people, but instead of crossing the Bafengte Canyon, they plunged headlong into the Bafengte Great Earth Palace? ”
Murphy, who was resting in the Wolf Castle, got Adele's report, but the content was too strange for the vampire lord to react for a while, he put down the Leania martial arts codex in his hand, looked at his intelligence officer, and said suspiciously:
"You mean, the Gnolls really targeted the Bafont Cultist?
I know that our players have carried out the decoy operation there, and I know that some Gnoll players are trying to provoke a fight between the two forces in the dungeon, but what did they do to make the Gnoll and the Goatman pinch so hard?
It's almost the same as two aggressive bulls.
We didn't even have much effort before they literally collided with each other. ”
"The exact situation is still being understood, and the Nightmare Cultists have initiated a strange ritual to turn the already vague terrain of the entire dungeon into a more random and deadly one, but the preliminary prediction is that it should be related to faith."
Sister E gave a guess, and she whispered:
"According to the information I received from Lady Villansor, the Nightmare Tyrant Bafonte took the soul of the gnolls and didn't know what he was doing, but this act is basically equivalent to directly provoking the Lord of the Hunt, after all, it is the race god of the gnolls, and it is his duty to protect the soul of every gnollod.
But it's strange that the situation is so intense all of a sudden.
The Archoverseer of Hurgeson on the other side was not such a reckless commander, perhaps because its chosen nature forced it to devote some of its elite to the war of faith? ”
"We can't guess this, after all, we are not roundworms in the stomach of the Overseer of Hurgeson."
Murphy waved his hand and said:
"But it's always so much trouble when it comes to faith, and now it seems that it's a good thing for us that we vampires are not born with faith, which means we don't need to devote our limited energy to this kind of time-wasting thing.
Since the army of gnolls is still in the Valley of the Shadows, that means we've gained more time.
Adele, get ready.
We're going to patrol the Maginot Line in a moment, and I'll have to see the results of Kudel's work with my own eyes. Judging by the reality of the Barren Mountain War Zone, it would be too optimistic to expect the Filthy Swamp to hold off the Gnolls, and perhaps that decisive battle will soon begin on our borders.
We may fail, we may die."
Speaking of this, the vampire lord glanced at Adele, and he whispered:
"Are you afraid?"
"I'd love to tell you I'm fearless."
Adele didn't answer directly, but came to Murphy's back, stretched out her fingers that could easily cut the gnoll's throat, and helped Murphy knead her shoulders with the gentlest force, her long hair hung down, and it was sweeping down Murphy's neck and replied softly:
"But the truth is, if you're not sure you're going to win, then it's hard for me to show confidence, but I don't have to be afraid. Destiny is advancing, it has begun to accelerate, and no one can easily stop it until what it wants to shape is on the stage.
Worst of all, I know I'll be there for you as I walk toward eternal death. ”
"Listen to what you say, Adele, you're about to turn into a terrible love brain."
Murphy smiled, leaned back in his chair and enjoyed Adele's rubbing her shoulders, and after a few seconds, he said:
"How much do you know about the situation on the Chardo Peninsula?"
"Not much, the information isolation of the Brass Fortress is still in effect, and even the spies of the Thorn Clan can't get close to it, but the information shared has proven that the elves, Songhai people, and shield dwarves, as well as the human expeditionary force, have left the fortress and entered the vast area of the Gorgon Pass.
They were still there fending off the gnolls.
The Brass Fortress is still solid, and surprisingly, after being abandoned by Mother Gaia, the Brass Dwarves don't seem to be deterred, but have become more aggressive. ”
"That's just appearances."
Murphy didn't want to talk about it, and he wasn't interested in discussing with Adele about the short-term prosperity that an ultra-free market economy would bring to a country and the subsequent slide into the abyss.
It's not his area of expertise.
Therefore, he went on to ask:
"Didn't our messenger in Port Chardo bring back news?"
"Yes, Professor Malcolm will be returning to Transcia in a day's airship, and he has important business to talk to with you and Archon Miriam, and it is said that Sharon Jr. will be returning with him."
Adele laughed and said:
"I heard that it was because little Sharon's uncle was found to be secretly helping us to procure a large amount of contraband, which caused her uncle to lose his public position and become infamous in Port Chardo, so you may have a large halfling family under your rule."
"That's a good thing."
Murphy also smiled and said:
"Well, let's wait until Professor Malcolm and our hero Sharon Jr. return, but has that restless Third Lord harassed you in the past few days?"
"No, she seems to be afraid of me"
Sister E bit her lip and said suspiciously:
"No, it's not me she's afraid of, it's you or Grand Duke Trissy. She always avoided me, but I also noticed that there was always someone watching me while I was showering and changing, and I guessed it was her. I wonder how Grand Duke Tracey has turned her into what she is today. ”
"Don't be curious, that's not a good thing."
Murphy reached out and patted Adele's face lightly.
This action represents that this is a "taboo topic", Adele nodded obediently, looked left and right, leaned down after confirming that there was no one around, gently kissed the corner of the owner's mouth and then stretched out her tongue quite boldly.
Fortunately, she is a "little three" recognized by Tracey.
Otherwise, Murphy would have been worried that Adele, like poor Lord Yvette, would be asked that fatal question by an unnamed Grand Duke Triss who suddenly appeared at the bedside.
While Lord Murphy was busy playing a shameful game of kissing with his hundred-year-old lover, in the rear of Translasia, in the ruins of Sico, the little mummy and her Moon Esoteric Cult and some of the Necrogen's players who had returned to the rear for vacation were busy.
Together, they are working on a "project".
The goal is simple, to make an undead colossus using the ingredients of Siko City as quickly as possible, and drive it to the front line to destroy all the gnolls!
Speaking of the Colossus of the Undead, this is the iconic Behemoth unit of the Church of the Dead Moon.
It is a construct that takes the undead structure to a very high level, and is generally shaped into the image of monsters in Songhai myths and legends, such as the giant scorpion and the three-headed dog, and those who are more literary and artistic will use the Sphinx colossus that represents wisdom, and the undead colossus of the Songhai Empire are the most destructive Anubis giants.
But in fact, for the Colossus of the Undead itself, the appearance does not affect its essence.
It's very powerful, but it works exactly like the skeleton Pegasus made by Bella for Murphy's Hall of Famer, which is simply stuffed into a construct made of undead materials and then used the Death Arcane to animate them.
Of course, the larger the size of the Undead Colossus, the more spirits are needed, and this reason is very simple, just like you can't actually charge a spaceship with a battery five.
Moreover, there is an advanced product on top of the structural branch of the Undead Colossus, which is the True Hundred Star Behemoth Lord named "Death Titan".
According to the exaggerated description of the little mummy, each Death Titan has the strength to destroy the city alone, and is the existence that stands on the commanding heights of destructive power in the military system of the Songhai Empire, and is also the highest force of the Dead Moon Church.
The Priests of the Dead Moon have been working on this kind of thing for more than a day or two, and they are very skilled in everything and everything, so after all the members of the general have been gathered, Nephitali began to assign tasks to prepare for the most traditional Anubis giant body shaping in Sike City.
As for the spirits needed to drive this body
Naturally, it was the twisted wraith that had been collected from Bafengt's position.
However, before the construction began, there was a clash of ideas on the player's side, and the Necromantic players looked at the construction diagram of the Anubis Giant provided by the little mummy, and then started the noise mode.
"Wow, what age is this, how can you still build such a stupid death bipedal robot?"
At present, the "carrying handle" in the school of the undead, the old player Honest Dog Egg wears an invisible hood made of astral wolf skin, and complains loudly with his staff of decay:
"And it's not handsome at all, is it? It's an oversized mummy and a little bit of Songhai characteristics, no, no! This is our Colossus of the Dead, and it must reflect the style of Translasia. ”
"Huh? The style of Translasia? What style does Transncia have? There wasn't even a Death Psionic node here! ”
The demon of the mountain next to him, Bo Gang, crossed his arms and sneered, and he said:
"But I also don't think there's any point in spending so many materials to make a giant mummy seven meters tall, and the attack method of this thing is too ordinary, even the simplest boxing and stampede, and one more death breath can't change its weak firepower.
If you want me to say, it's better to build eight hands for this Anubis giant, and then let Brother Loyal tailor a set of firepower platforms for it, it's really a pity that such a big man doesn't play some tricks.
Why don't we just build the Hades Scorpion?
And then put a cannon on the back of this giant scorpion or something?
Hey, walking necro tank, that sounds cool and fierce enough! I've got a name in mind, so I'll call it 'Fierce Handsome.'"
"! Don't die, do you have a copyright? Just use it here! ”
The Heavenly Demon Nishiki flapped his wings and flew around, and he landed on a fallen stone pillar with his knees like a bat, and waved his hands and shouted to his fellow brothers:
"Everyone has the same meaning, they all think that this undead colossus that can only attack with cold weapons is blind to this big man, in this case, let's unify our thoughts first, let's take a plan, and then give advice to Mentor Nephitali.
I think she actually likes to try new things, and if we can come up with better designs, she will definitely agree.
And have you noticed?
The spirits that the little mummy got back this time are all the heroic souls of the dogs and jackals when they used the subspace gap to raid the position, and they are all our comrades-in-arms!
I also saw Colonel Duke.
Tsk, it's miserable, he only has the will to fight now, and the spirits are very violent, so our new design must take into account the characteristics of these war spirits, and make their destructive power fully exerted.
To put it simply, it must be handsome, fierce and powerful enough, and only in this way can we attract more new people to devote themselves to the study of dark flow gameplay like us. ”
"Then why don't you just create hatred?"
The honest man tilted his head and thought about it, and said:
"That thing has a simple structure, it can be spelled out with the most ordinary bones, and the most important thing is that the destructive power is not weak, and if you use the mechanical prosthesis on Brother Loyalty's side to transform it, you can exert the power of the 'God of War'."
"You still haven't gotten out of the thinking of cold weapon confrontation, dog, I didn't say you, there is no way to emancipate your mind, how can you be strong enough?"
Moon Demon Curse Blue complained:
"It's all said, you have to have a Translancian character! Do you understand? Don't keep using the set of undead disasters to make up the numbers, last time we proposed to change the knight of Hades to a death knight, but I was almost beaten by the little mummy, you forgot? ”
A group of dead brothers fell silent for a moment.
They have a lot of ideas, but the more they learn the systematic knowledge of death, the more they can feel that all kinds of wild ideas will seem absurd and useless when they are put into practice, and the more they learn, the more they can feel their ignorance, which makes a group of foreign necromancers feel extremely helpless.
No matter how much I discussed it, I couldn't get a decent new idea, and I was always going around in the old thinking mode, and then sadly found that no matter what kind of construction proposal, it couldn't suppress the original classic design of the Dead Moon Church in all directions.
This is also normal.
People have been playing this for more than 1,000 years, and its profound theoretical foundation and practical experience are by no means something that can be broken by a few ideas.
Just when the players were at a loss, the real "big man" of their group took off his pants and belatedly teleported from the field hospital of the Maginot Line, and this guy came over wearing a doctor's robe.
"Yo, what are you talking about here?"
Ah Feng came over and saw his brothers who usually played well getting together and sulking, he stepped forward curiously and asked, and soon figured out the reason under the gossip of others, and then he scratched his head and said:
"That.
I'm curious, why do you have to limit yourself to making a colossus out of undead materials? The essence of tectonics is to create a self-protecting and strengthened shell for a brave spirit, and then use a death spirit to make the two become one, simulating the posture of a living being.
The focus of this thing is on the spirits rather than the external structures.
From this point of view, if you want to increase your firepower and destructive power, why don't you just use steel? ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
The honest dog's eyes widened, he looked at Ah Feng, who maintained a subtle smile, and exclaimed:
"So, do you mean?"
"yes, you've all played StarCraft, right?"
Ah Feng maintained a smile, revealing a look of Zhizhu in his hand, and said:
"Are the dragon knights of the Protoss familiar?
You see, the principle is actually the same, we happen to have a halfling steam walker, and the first time I saw it, I thought of the dragon knight.
The armor is strong enough, the firepower is strong enough!
On top of that, it's a mobile firepower platform in its own right, and it's perfectly capable of adding new weapons on an ongoing basis.
We don't even need to think about the crew, the spirit manipulation is not afraid of death to maximize the destructive power of this mechanical colossus.
On top of that, I know that there are two strange steam puppets on the old flywheel's side, and the halfling has this similar technology in his hands! Combining with the technology of the Church of the Dead Moon opens up new frontiers for undead tectonics! ”
"! You old boy is amazing! ”
Ah Feng's proposal made a group of necromancers drop their jaws, but after careful consideration, they found that the idea was perfect!
They screamed around Ah Feng, and then a group of people hurried to the little mummy and told Ah Feng what he thought.
"What's that?"
Nefertali was already preparing to collect undead materials, but she heard her apprentices' whimsical idea to bring the undead and the machine together. , what a blasphemous idea?
The little mummy's first reaction was to scold them for not following tradition, but then the water brain didn't know what kind of thinking it was, and after a few seconds, she rubbed her chin and said:
"Well, it looks interesting, so try it?"
