There are not too many NPCs involved in the battle in the swamp forbidden area, but the ones who can be invited are all big shots above the brigadier general, and they have contributed a lot in this battle, but it is the players who really play the main attack.

The Godslayers who had been sent back here by Triss could finally enjoy the charge with their other brethren, having just completed their god-killing feat in good spirits, slaughtering the gnolls under the cover of the serpents' venom rain and smashing the enemy with the help of the vigilant turrets that kept their tracks along the trail in the swamp exclusion zone.

There are tens of thousands of gnolls brought in by the Lord of the Hunt, but a bunch of mindless lunatics are nothing to fear, they don't even have the most basic cover tactics, they just charge at the fire net, and then are blown up by the intelligent defenders with the Hydra rocket nest mounted on it.

At the end of the battle, players rode into the battlefield on giant serpents, inflicting terrifying damage with terrifying seismic techniques, especially after Hygeson hung up, Murphy once again opened the closed protective matrix of the swamp exclusion zone, so that the Avalonians waiting outside also attacked from the rear under the leadership of Natalie.

They drove a horde of war thorn beasts into battle, which was enough to represent Avalon's attitude.

Surrounded on all sides by this intensity, even though the number of gnolls was large, it still could not change the outcome of their defeat, and with neither Murphy nor the Warlord's forces involved in the second half of the battle, the battle lasted for a full four hours, and finally wiped out all the gnolls who entered the swamp exclusion area.

Their demise meant that the last formed enemy in front of the Maginot Line had been routed, and although there were still many gnolls roaming around the filthy swamp, they were no longer a problem after Hurgesen lived with the Lord of the Hunt, Heaven and Earth.

It is worth mentioning that the Songhai warriors under the command of His Royal Highness Khufu also participated in this battle.

Of course, in addition to assisting the civilization camp to defeat the enemy, there is also a banner of "protecting the land of creation".

In the eyes of the Songhai people, all the areas left by the creator are sacred and inviolable, and the barbarism of this group of gnolls has directly provoked the bottom line of the Songhai people, and although the swamp forbidden land is currently under the control of Transnesia, the Songhai people still feel that they must do their duty in this sacred matter.

Their battle was very brave, much to Murphy's satisfaction, as was His Highness Khufu, who had made the decision to support, as he was finally invited to the swamp exclusion zone near the end of the battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the land of creation with a pilgrimage mood.

It is difficult for non-Songhai ethnic groups to understand this feeling, but for Murphy and Tracy, who have a flow of hearts, they can indeed feel that kind of piety similar to faith in the change of state of mind of His Highness Khufu.

Regardless of the way in which the Songhai people inherited the knowledge and power of the Creator, the mere fact that this kind of almost blind faith in the Creator prevails among their people is enough to make Murphy, the Creator God, feel good about these desert blue-skinned people.

"It's hard to imagine that there is such a well-preserved place of creation outside of the Land of Origin, where the energy system is even functioning, which has survived the 'Great Collapse' of a thousand years ago and has been discovered by you in this era, Lord Murphy, which speaks volumes about the Creator's love for you."

Murphy personally acted as a guide, taking Khufu and his chief of guard and several Sun Priests to tour the various areas of the Swamp Forbidden Land, and when he saw the neatly arranged biological cabins and laboratories under the forbidden area, the crown prince in military uniform today couldn't help but sigh:

"Life support devices of this size are also very rare in the Land of Origin, and they are only stored in the three holy cities, and the father will not even open them unless necessary, after all, the energy used for items under the Creator system has always been a big problem for the Empire.

It's a true mecca, there's no doubt about it.

I take the liberty of asking, Lord Murphy, is there any knowledge of the Creator preserved in this swamp exhibit? ”

"Yes, and there are quite a few, most of them are about the observation and research records of various creatures in the world thousands of years ago in the Eden District, as well as some information about the astral creatures."

Murphy replied softly:

"Thousands of years ago, the mission here was mainly to observe and domesticate, and our sages created this forbidden area to try to get in touch with the world of origin and find a way for the two to coexist peacefully.

Do you need to copy any of the materials? ”

"Can we?"

His Royal Highness Khufu's eyes lit up and he said:

"If I can bring back sacred knowledge to the Land of Origin, then I and my followers will be seen as heroes who have recovered the legacy of the Creator, and although I don't really need this honor myself, it will greatly boost the confidence of the people.

Oh yes.

During the time of my ancestors, the Ptolemaic royal family established the 'Origin Scholarship Fund' to reward travelers and explorers who brought back their knowledge of creation.

If we can replicate the sacred knowledge here and bring it back, then I'll help you apply for a grant award, and the reward you can get is absolutely amazing given the scale of this land of creation. ”

"I don't need a reward myself, Your Highness."

Murphy was even happier when he heard this, and he said:

"If you can convert those rewards and rewards into a business investment in Transasia, then my realm will also consider you and the Songhai Empire as trusted friends, and we have checked the database of the forbidden land, and the knowledge in it is not dangerous enough to encrypt the information, so you can copy it now.

Of course, I have a very personal request for your help, please come with me. ”

As he spoke, His Highness Khufu gladly followed.

However, before leaving, he still told several Sun Priests behind him to copy the materials, although these studies on the ecology of thousands of years ago are of little significance to the Songhai Empire, but as Khufu said, all the knowledge left by the creator is a treasure for the Songhai people.

They don't really care about the content, as long as it is something that has something to do with the creator, the symbolic value in the Songhai Empire is very high.

Under Murphy's personal leadership, Hufu and his chief guard arrived at the Forbidden Warehouse, where Ugson's broken power armor had been transferred, and was being simply repaired by the autonomic machinery in the base, causing sparks to fly like the processing site.

Murphy pointed to the thing and said to the crown prince beside him:

"My assistant curator told me that the maintenance equipment here can't repair such an armament, and that I intended to give this armor as a reward to my valiant godkillers, but if it's just an irreparable wreckage, then my warriors may doubt my sincerity.

So I would like to ask you, is there a device in the Songhai Empire that can fix it? ”

"Ah, this is a vanguard-level 'god-serving weapon'! I have seen more than once in the court, and the captains of my father's Sand Sea Guards wore such armor. ”

Khufu recognized the red power armor in front of him at a glance, and he shared it with Murphy in a nostalgic tone:

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was a child, I sneaked into the arsenal of the guards with my sister, tried to wear it secretly, and imagined that I could become the most loyal warrior of the empire, but of course I couldn't get permission, and because I didn't respect the gift of the creator, I was excommunicated by my father and reflected in the confinement room for half a month."

The crown prince smiled and said to Murphy:

"There are war technicians in the Empire who have a device to repair it and a war technician who specializes in maintaining this power armor, but I don't know much about these war weapons myself, so I will ask my chief of guard to introduce you to you."

After the crown prince had finished speaking, the captain of the guard, Sannik, who had been guarding him, replied in a low voice:

"There aren't many Vanguard-level Power Armor in the Empire, Lord Murphy, but our Ancestors were fortunate enough to find a Power Armor Repair Depot in their exploration of the Yellow Sands, and your loot is badly damaged, but not beyond the scope of repair.

So just bring it to the territory of the Empire and a dedicated War Technician will fix it for you.

In addition, your special model of power armor can also be brought into the empire, and our technicians can try to upgrade your power armor to combat power.

After all, your powerful weapons look half-finished at first glance. ”

The invitation made Murphy wink.

From Thornik's invitation to the gut, Murphy can already be sure of one thing, the war technicians of the Songhai Empire definitely have the ability to reproduce the power armor blueprints, and this guy hopes that the characteristics of his battle commander's armament can also be mastered by the Songhai people.

I just don't know if Songhai people can make their own power armor?

Well, most likely not.

Otherwise, there should be at least a team of power armor warriors in the army guarding the crown prince this time, which is enough to prove that a weapon of this level is also a rare thing in the Songhai Empire.

"Then I can rest assured that I can finally proudly present my award to my warriors."

Murphy didn't answer the question, he smiled, and said to His Highness Khufu:

"After you visit this place, you can go to the Gnoll Civilization Hall through the teleportation board left by the Creator, which is also a place of creation, and is directly related to the status and identity of the Gnoll in the original creator system.

I guess one of the most important tasks of your trip is to make diplomatic first contact with the Guardians of the Creation? ”

"I can't hide it from you."

Khufu sighed and said:

"I was indeed entrusted with such a duty by my father, who said that as a prince, I should contribute to the empire and the people from now on, and whether or not I can establish friendly relations with the Creator Guardians is directly related to the first large-scale spread of the Creator faith on the continent.

Frankly, I don't have much confidence in that. ”

"I can help you somewhat, Your Highness."

As the three of them walked into the elevator and ascended to the first floor, Murphy said to Khufu with his hands behind his back:

"I have some friendship with His Excellency 'Virtuous Wolf', the Creator-inspired leader of the faith, and if you need to, I can arrange a secret meeting for the two of you after your visit to the Gnoll Civilization Museum.

Such contacts at the diplomatic level should be cautious.

Especially when the social atmosphere and civilization tradition of the jackals have not yet recovered from the barbaric state of the past, because of the matter of the king of biting bones, the attitude of the jackals towards the Songhai people is not a friend. ”

"That's what worries me."

His Royal Highness Khufu was overjoyed to hear that Murphy was willing to help, and as soon as he was happy, he pouted and told some information that should not have been said, and he said:

"A hundred years ago, my father had a personal encounter with the Bone Biting King, who he decided that he was the head of the Creator's faction, and he hoped to persuade Lord Philip to end the conquest of the Black Plague, but the conversation ended unhappily.

The Lord of the Biting Bone arrogantly demanded that the Songhai people become vassals of the Jackals, saying that we were not qualified to speak to it as followers of the Creator on an equal footing, which greatly hurt the feelings of the Songhai people.

Our faith in the Creator comes from the miracle of our ancestors meeting the Creator in the midst of the catastrophe of the Great Collapse!

Countless texts have proved that the meeting and the acceptance of the Creator were real, and the Songhai people were the most loyal followers of the Creator, and although the authority of the King of Biting Bones came directly from the lineage of the Creator, they had no right to slander the piety of the Songhai people. ”

His Highness Khufu's anger was not false when he said this, and it made Murphy wonder again what the Songhai people had experienced during the collapse of Eden a thousand years ago.

Their swear that their ancestors had seen the Creator is not just what Khufu said, but even the little mummies often talk about it, which suggests that it is very likely that this incident is not apocryphal, and perhaps something unknown did happen in the Land of Origin, far away from Eden.

"By the way, Lord Murphy, my father sent a message that in gratitude for your great contribution to the civilization camp in this black plague, my father sincerely invites you to participate in the celebration in Ptolemaic City in two months, which is also my father's birthday party."

His Royal Highness Khufu said to Murphy very sincerely:

"Due to the accidental downfall of the Pioneer of Origins, Father will send his Pharaoh's Throne ship, the Millennium Quicksand, to greet you and your followers in a month and a half."

"It's so grand! I was flattered. ”

Murphy was quite surprised to receive this invitation, although he had already learned the news from the Lord, and had planned to go to the Origin Empire to follow the Lord to meet the world, but the Pharaoh actually sent his own ship to greet him in person, and the implication of this was obvious.

It seems that Murphy went to the Songhai Empire this time not only as the governor of Translancia and a war hero, but also to bring his authority as the "chosen choice of the creator", and this invitation also means that Murphy's trip will most likely go well.

It put him in a good mood.

Therefore, when the three of them stepped out of the elevator, Murphy also deliberately knocked the snack vending machine out of the wall, and spent ten of his own achievement points to get a [DATA EXPUNGED] leisure soda for His Highness Khufu and his chief of guard, but only after the two tasted the strange soda did they tell them that it was a snack prepared by the Creator for His old man's own sake.

The expressions of Khufu and Sannick changed in that moment, not to mention how shocked and frightened they were, and Murphy became more and more happy to watch.

He formally invited His Highness Khufu to participate in the victory celebration to be held tonight in the lord's position of the Maginot Line, a ceremony that the Translantian warriors had requested to welcome the return of the god-killing hero.

His Highness Khufu, who was in a trance after drinking the "soda of the gods", agreed, and Murphy went to work himself, and he was going to send the half-destroyed power armor to the Maginot Line before the celebration began.

This thing is the highlight of the night!

Previously, when Murphy brought the Warlord Power Armor from the ruins of the Far Wanderer Headquarters, he had made a promise to the young players who followed him that as long as they brought back the skull of the Lord of the Hunter, he would give them a set of Power Armor.

At that time, players regarded this as a pie drawn for them by the main line NPCs, but Murphy, as a dog planner, has his own dignity, and he wants to let players know tonight that he Murphy has never been a simple Pua!

He's going to do what he says!

This is the only way for players to see how sincere they and the Transansians are with their heroes.

On top of that, since Khufu patted his chest and said that the Songhai Empire could repair the power armor, then the quest chain attached to this loot just enough to guide players to the new map of the Land of Origin, the main story of the Black Calamity DLC has ended, although there is still a "day after tomorrow" on the Genoese Peninsula, but these contents are not enough to support the next version.

The second big expansion is ready to go, and the development team is going to be busy again.

Murphy felt it was time for him to recruit some new members of the "development team".
