898. Hey, old Su Tou, remember when I said you want to explode some gold coins, right?
As the clock ticked by, the purification ritual prepared for the Krimu Fortress was about to begin, but the players' patience had already run out of waiting.
Although they were also invited guests, who would have nothing to do in time of war to attend a reception being held in the banquet hall?
Except for a few people who have seen the big world such as Qin Ye and Mao Mao Rabbit can barely cope with it, other players feel their scalps tingle when they see that kind of upper-class occasion, considering that everyone is a flat-headed common person, so it is better to have some down-to-earth activities.
For example, treasure hunting
By the time the group entered Transasia, the Crimean Fortress had already been occupied by the Nords, and as a true military fortress, it was impossible to carry out any "open house events" in the past, so the vast majority of players did not explore this majestic fortress.
It's like a treasure trove of encapsulations, and you don't have to think about it to know that there must be many, many great things in there.
Therefore, before waiting for the purification ceremony to start, the players ran to ask Qin Ye if they could move freely in the fortress, Qin Ye originally planned to refuse, although the two sides are allies now, but it is not good to rummage other people's things, and it is difficult to say what they will cause in the fortress with the player's scraping style.
However, Old Qin's good comrade-in-arms, the corpse witch of the Loyal Hymn Guild, Baldwin Elder, suggested to him:
"It's torture to let the valiant warriors enjoy such a hypocritical communicative field, let them go, this fortress is guarded at important points, they can't get in. It's not a bad idea to conduct a reconnaissance, and when the ceremony is over and the battle is about to begin, how can the warriors not be familiar with the positions they need to defend? ”
"Well, that makes sense."
Qin Ye thought about it, and it was indeed this reason and gave permission to the players under his command, that scene was like a wild dog getting off the leash in an instant, and the dozens of people in the banquet hall ran away at once, as for the others, you don't really think that with the player's style of acting, you will obediently wait for Lao Qin's order before acting, right?
"Come down to the castle! Exiting the back door of the large westernmost kitchen leads to an old entrance to the castle's underground structure, which looks like no one has been there for decades, and there must be something good hidden here. ”
The prodigal brother of the border city, who had already wandered around and found interesting places, beckoned the other brothers to come on a treasure hunt, while the guards on the first floor turned a blind eye to the player's actions, and instead of stopping them, they showed them the way with encouraging smiles.
After the fortress was occupied by the Winter Wolf Legion, all the things that might be hidden up and down were searched, and it was not the player's turn to find the treasure, and General Baldwin was not a member of the dog planner, so he would definitely not bother to hide things everywhere in the castle.
There is a high probability that this player treasure hunt will end in nothing.
But when a group of players of the Loyal Hymn are scurrying around in the underground structure that serves as a hiding hole and warehouse, they really trigger a "hidden plot".
"Shhhhh
The chubby prodigal son of the border city has a sub-profession of reconnaissance pioneer, and his perception is particularly keen, and when the brothers walked around a corner, he suddenly stopped the tall mustard idiot next to him, and Mr. Ziwei, who was holding a divination crystal ball, also stopped immediately.
The three men sat around the corner and poked their heads out, and then they saw two women hiding in this hidden underground area talking.
The two women were about the same height, and both wore the swordsman armor of the Winter Wolf Legion, but one wore a full-coverage helmet, while the other wore no helmet revealing her short, fiery red hair and a cold, resolute countenance.
She carried a two-handed sword with a very special shape, which had a sharp blade on one side and a sharp blade on the other, and there was an inscription on the sword body that exuded a cold air, which looked like a high-end product.
"Hey, isn't this lady in a helmet old Baldwin's servant?"
Mr. Ziwei lowered his voice and said:
"What does it seem to be called Irina?"
"Irina Misimbayeva, a former pioneer of the Winter Wolf Legion's scouts, a silver-tier Winter Wolf Female Sword Master, died during the Winter Wolf Legion's search for the Wolf Blood Sword in the Dark Mountains, was resurrected by Dusk and rescued by Lord Murphy, and currently serves as the chief of guard of Old Baldwin.
This is an important plot figure related to the opening of Nordtov's prestige, as an agent, how did you forget such important information? ”
Mustard Micro said the background information of this NPC in a concise tone, and glared at Mr. Ziwei fiercely, who pursed his lips and said that Lao Tzu is an agent in another world, and he is just a player here, don't you ask me with such high standards, okay?
What's more, there are not a hundred but fifty NPCs in Transncia who can be called "important plot characters" today, so how can they keep all their information in mind without relevant tasks?
"Shhh
The prodigal son of the border city made a silent gesture and cast a snooping psionic spell on the three of them, allowing them to hear the conversation between the two women in front of them.
"Sister, I received news of you from General Baldwin's letter and immediately applied to join the war, but you have been hiding from me, hiding among the Transansians and pretending that you are dead."
The short-haired female swordsman scolded:
"If it weren't for today's invitation to this ceremony, how long would you plan to hide from me?"
"But I'm dead."
Irina replied in a shriveled voice characteristic of the undead:
"I'm not hiding from you, fate is not kind to me, even after death comes, I still have to bear this toil, old General Baldwin and I are engaged in very dangerous work, I just don't want to involve you anymore.
You have a better talent and a brighter future than I am, and you should stay in the Ice Palace to defend Her Majesty the Wolf Girl instead of coming here! ”
"You bastard!"
Irina's sister stepped forward and punched her sister, and the punch was blasted with a bone-chilling wind, freezing Irina's breastplate.
Judging from this performance of strength, this short-haired female swordsman is also a powerful character in the Silver Rank, and may even have stepped on the Golden Trial, and her face will not be more than forty years old, and she is still young for a Nord who can live to be one hundred and twenty years old.
This is probably a member of the "genius" group on the mainland, no wonder he can become the wolf girl's imperial guard.
"I know you died in the quest to find the Wolf Blood Holy Sword, so you didn't give up on this goal after you died?"
The female swordsman who punched her sister seemed to calm down a little, and she said in a dumb voice:
"You're still tracking that sword? Any news? ”
"This is my job, Nina, you have your duty, now that you have seen and seen, you have beaten and beaten, no matter how much you resent me, you should stay away from here as soon as possible and go back to Fort Borewind to continue your life in the sun."
Irina refused to reveal any information, still persuading her sister in a cold tone of an undead, which made Nina very angry, and was about to question but suddenly moved her ears.
"Who's there!"
She scolded, and the three overheard brothers were startled, and they were about to retreat, but they saw the two Winter Wolf Sword Saints who had died in their lives almost at the same time.
The two sisters slashed at two different areas with the same swordplay, and after the heavy sword coordinated to form a double thump that pierced the floor, not only the two of them, but even the three agent brothers who were eavesdropping next to them heard the strange noise coming from deeper underground.
It was like a lot of claws scratching in the ground, and the sound was faint but chilling.
What's even worse is that as the three brothers who participated in the attack and defense of the Black Flame Mountain Pass, they were able to distinguish the truth of this underground voice in an instant with the vigilance that agents should have.
"Nezumen! ! It's a large number of nezumi people operating underground in the castle! ”
The prodigal son of the border city jumped up and shouted:
"Quick! Send a signal to Qin Ye that the rat people are going to attack the city. ”
"No, it's not just the nezumi."
Mr. Ziwei pulled out his psionic sword and said sharply:
"And the gnolls, they're going to attack at this time and disrupt that purification ritual! I knew that inviting us to the castle would definitely trigger a special event, and our Lord Murphy was a troublemaker, and even if he didn't come, he would cause trouble.
Fast! Get the brothers moving! ”
The warning from the underground was quickly relayed to Qin Ye, who was holding a wine glass, and had already entered the viewing platform of the purification ceremony.
On the spell casting platform in front of him, the Great Purification Ritual presided over by Archbishop Artyom was already halfway through, and the extremely cold streamer caused by the communication of divine power was wrapped in the cold wind and covered most of the castle.
The blessing of war from Su is also being applied to the brave Winter Wolf warriors, and the cold wind has formed a halo that is spreading outward, and all forces related to dark tendencies will be purified and dispelled everywhere it goes.
But Lao Qin had already tasted some ominousness from the news from his command, and he immediately threw away his wine glass, pulled out his brutal chainsaw sword, and shouted loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's nezumi activity under the castle! The gnolls are on the attack! ”
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a continuous stream of wine glasses falling to the ground from the viewing platform, but it was not because the guests were too flustered, in fact General Baldwin invited to come over were all soldiers on the battlefield, and they were not afraid of a surprise attack and were armed within a short time of warning.
As for General Baldwin, he was not surprised.
His lieutenant waved his battle flag downwards from the height, and the Winter Wolf warriors who had just been blessed with the blessing of war immediately went to their respective positions in a well-trained manner, while the dwarven priests who assisted the Winter Wolf Legion in guarding the place also went underground to block the nezumi excavation with their land of martial arts, and the Wolf Vulture Sky Knights from the Iron Foot Army also roared into the air, and the entire fortress was running rapidly under Baldwin's command.
It can be seen that General Baldwin has made a full plan for today's events, and his unhurried attitude is not out of arrogance but on realistic considerations.
Counting Kudel, who has already embarked on the Golden Trial, Archbishop Artyom who is presiding over the purification ceremony, and the other two hidden cardinal archbishops, there are now thirty Winter Wolf Swordmasters led by the two Golden Swordmasters, Badr Frostwind, the acting lord of the Frost Dwarves, and General Yevgeny of the Great Wilderness Legion.
Not to mention the shadow of the Great Wilderness, Lady Shani, and the Winter Wolf God, Lord Turner, hiding in the shadows.
The strong man's posture alone was enough to ensure the safety of the Crimean Fortress, and in fact, General Baldwin would have wished that Gerson himself would have commanded the gnolls to kill him, so that he could calmly command the Golden One to besiege and kill the Chosen One.
This ritual of purification would destroy the connection between the gnolls and the lord of the hunt, and if General Baldwin did not want to see the accident happen, then he could have quietly pushed forward with this ritual and made such a big show that today's invitation itself was a trap to lure the enemy into action.
As soon as the Winter Wolves began to react to the raid, a continuous stream of explosions rang out underground.
Smoke and fire rose from the most attacked gates, but the temporary reinforcement of the buildings by the Earth Priests put an end to the nezumen's hopes of trying to blow them down.
While the appearance of these nezumi was indeed an accident, it was a fool's dream to break through the renovated Crimean Fortress alone.
"Look at the sky! The Gnolls are launching Astral Rip! ”
Colonel Fraser, who had been invited to watch the ceremony, issued a warning, and everyone who was rushing to the battle site looked up and saw that a rather classic black crack had formed in the sky of the Krem Fortress, like a shattered glass making an overwhelmed sound, which represented a astral tear about to fall on the Krem Fortress.
But Old Baldwin, who was following Qin Ye, shook his head and said:
"The three psionic nodes of the Filthy Swamp are still in our hands, and the gnolls simply don't have enough psionic support to wreak havoc, and even a forcible tear by a large number of hunting priests will not be able to destroy the solid structure of the Crimean fortress.
The purification ritual has been advanced to the end, and the entire fortress will be sheltered by Sue's cold winter divine power, and the filthy astral spiritual energy will not be able to enter at all.
This thing looks like this!
Even if it's true, it won't be able to frighten the Winter Wolf Legion at all, and it's even difficult to hinder our actions, what's going on with Xu Gesen?
With its previous performance, it shouldn't have made such a stupid mistake. ”
"Unless they initiate this astral rift with the intention of causing damage in the first place"
Lao Qin narrowed his eyes.
He watched the purple crack in the air open little by little, and said:
"Old Bao, do you think it's possible that the gnolls are just helping some guys on the other side of the astral plane open the way to the material world? And I remember the development team did say before that they were going to push this event into the second phase because of the mediocre response to the event
Wolves, I guess!
Astral Wolf Plague! ”
"Click"
As soon as Lao Qin's crow mouth finished speaking, in front of everyone's eyes, a huge claw covered with a silver mane buckled on the slowly opening astral rift, and the exertion of the power of the demigods caused the rift to expand in an instant to a level comparable to the astral creation above the Crimson Keep.
The terrifying concentration of astral spiritual energy rolled down from the sky in the next moment, like the scene of destruction when the rift in the Black Flame Pass opened, and what was even worse was that this claw was also not for attacking, but purely to open this rift even wider, so as to facilitate the wolf plague that had been waiting for the other side of the astral plane to cross.
In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of astral wolves rushed into the material world in the tide formed by the filthy energy.
The wolf howls made every life present shudder, and what shocked them even more was that a huge silver giant wolf like a mountain was walking in the footsteps of a king, under the arch of more than nine wolf plague lords, with a devastating momentum, wrapped in the frozen wind, and strolling on the galaxy.
She was blind in one eye, and when she looked closely, she was missing a few teeth in that mouth.
But the silver wolf's appearance style today is very strange, and she also bites a Nord-style wolf tooth sword that has been amplified by special power to the same size as her body and lingers with filthy blood, just like a legendary giant wolf with a sword.
Old Baldwin and Archbishop Artem let out a cry of anger and fear at the same time when they saw the sword in the silver wolf's mouth, they were all Norders, and they knew what a disastrous end this tainted sword would bring to this occasion.
"Quick! Stop the purification ritual! Break ties with Sue's kingdom! ”
Baldwin Sr. was so anxious that he wanted to rush into the center of the ritual filled with purification power in the body of the undead and forcibly stop the purification phalanx that was still running, but he was pulled by General Kudel, who flew over.
"It's too late."
The Scarlet Tribune whispered:
"It's all in the Silver Wolf Project! The gnolls and we have all been taken advantage of, and this madman's goal is more terrifying than we predicted, she is here to complete the despicable assassination of Sue, and she is going to challenge a god, right before our eyes. ”
"Father! Your daughter is back, today you can't escape, you have to face me! ”
With the roar of the silver wolf, she crossed the astral rift and entered the material world as a substance, and she pounced with the filthy holy sword in her mouth, like a ghostly flicker, so that Kherson appeared at the heart of the purification ritual in an instant.
The tens of millions of wind blades that the silver wolf brought up when it landed sliced everything around it.
Only Archbishop Artyom escaped with the Golden One's reaction, and then, under everyone's gaze, the Silver Wolf stabbed the filthy sword into the ritual core in front of him.
This is just the appearance.
The real lethality lies in relying on the connection between the Filthy Holy Sword and Su, injecting the pollution of the subspace into Su's divine kingdom in a way that no one can imagine, and giving the God of the North Wind a hard blow from the back of the heart.
"Whew!!"
Old Sutou's painful and sorrowful screams spread through every inch of the Krimu Fortress at this moment, ringing in the ears of every believer who believed in the god of the north wind, and the originally sacred cold wind was also carried with a trace of cruel and filthy blood, just like the ink dripping into the water was still expanding rapidly.
The land of the gods is polluted!
The God of the North Wind is also at risk of being polluted, and as the source of faith, once Su can't resist it, it will mean that the entire Winter Wolf Church and even Nordtov will be dragged into the abyss.
Lao Qin and the other players are numb.
They really didn't expect that after missing the opportunity to kill gods, they would still have the honor of witnessing the fall or death of a powerful god.
!
Development team, are you crazy?
A simple Spring Festival event, as for such a big scene? Why don't you hint in advance and let us be prepared!
