My players are so fierce

Chapter 952 951. The end is not over yet

Murphy announced the end of Chapter 2 of the main mission, but this does not mean that after Xu Gesen’s death, all things related to the Black Disaster will calm down instantly.

In fact, according to the news from Nash's Bloodclaw clan, there are still a large number of gnoll thugs running around in the Filthy Swamp.

Their purpose is to escape the pursuit of the defenders and survive through the increasingly dangerous filthy swamp. However, because this swamp has devoured too many lives in the recent past, its ecology has not become stable but has increasingly stimulated the growth of carnivorous plants. .

The direct consequence is that except for the Avalon cultists, others entering the swamp will encounter the same dangerous situation as the jackals.

Although the players also have the blessing of God Avalon, even if all the current players are dispersed, it will be difficult to stop so many gnolls from escaping. Therefore, at the suggestion of the staff, Kudel and Maxim held a strategic discussion.

They finally unanimously decided not to chase the fleeing gnolls in the Filthy Swamp, but to put them into the Desolate Mountain area, to completely annihilate them by linking up with the defenders of Fort Courage, and at the same time sent new soldiers to practice their skills.

But before that, Murphy must first complete the recovery of Shadow Valley.

This matter ultimately fell on Chief Nash. After all, he was also a jackal and had Xu Gesen's desperate letter in his hand. It was the most appropriate choice to let Nash persuade him to surrender.

Hogg, the sage wolf who was still in the Creation Plains at this time, also agreed to this decision. He saw clearly that after the establishment of the Jackal Kingdom in the future, the location of the Blood Claw clan must be a "diplomatic center". Nash wanted to To secure the throne of chief in that key position, one must make a sufficient contribution to the cause of Transia.

This is a pretty good opportunity for Nash.

Murphy did not force the short jackal to accept this task, but gave it two days to think about it. It also takes time to coordinate the Maginot Line of defense with the troop deployment of Fort Courage, and the tunnels that had been occupied Now it's time to put it to use again.

Under such a general premise, the Shadow Intelligence Bureau took action again.

Commander Adele personally led the team back to the Shadow Valley to conduct reconnaissance for subsequent operations. The vampires of Yi Shui flew across the filthy swamp in the night, and settled in the Baphomet Canyon to rest. From here, they took the tunnel to approach their destination. , arrived at "Novo Mejeva Village" before dawn.

The vampire intelligence officers under Adele come from a variety of sources. They include not only members of the original Blood Vulture clan, but also half-elves recruited from the Shadow Valley and shadow elves recruited from the Mejva exiles. Lower-ranking people such as the Blood Rat Gang have now become an important component of the Shadow Bureau, and there are also several forest elves who were "pulled up" during the offensive and defensive battles of the Maginot Line.

All of the above are fairly normal.

The most exaggerated thing is that Adele also has a group of goat man spellcasters who followed Julia and Old Finley under his command, as well as some jackal assassins currently deployed beside Hogg.

After a black disaster, all the forces in Transia were damaged, except for the Shadow Bureau, which was getting bigger and bigger.

Although they are still suffering from a shortage of manpower, at least the places where eyeliners should be arranged are already guarded. Even on the second day after the battle, Ms. Dorothy, the boss of the Blood Rat Gang, one of Adele's right-hand men, came with A group of people took an airship to the Genoa Peninsula.

This seems to have the framework and execution capabilities of a large intelligence organization. Although it is still a small organization compared to the Thorn Clan and the Thieves Guild, Adele's operational capabilities are already evident.

Her low profile next to Murphy does not mean that she has no strength, she just enjoys the feeling of hiding in the shadow of her master.

But Adele has been a little restless these days.

On the one hand, it was because there were too many things going on during this period and she had not had a good rest for a long time. On the other hand, it was because Villanse had been staying on the Creation Plains. Spider Girl must be doing something related to the Shadow Elf. .

Although Adele didn't know much about the inside story of that incident, she felt that she might be affected. After all, no matter how she resisted, a quarter of the shadow elf blood in her body could not be stripped away.

They moved quickly through the tunnels, moving silently and communicating only with gestures. After the Transians evacuated this tunnel area, there was news that it had been occupied by goat-man cultists from Baphomet's underground palace, so Adai Er had been cautious since entering the tunnel, but even so, she was still hit after walking for almost twenty minutes.

As if she had accidentally stepped into an area shrouded in fog, Adele immediately stopped when she passed the same fork in the road for the second time.

She frowned and looked around, while holding the melt sword at her waist. This should be a range of spells used to confuse perception, much like the tricks that goatman cultists would do.

"Be alert."

She gave instructions to the people following her, and everyone drew their weapons.

Sister E did not order the division of troops but prepared to observe the situation on the spot. If the opponent was a goatman cultist, then the next step they would probably do is to pull these vampires into their dreams and execute them.

That is the realm of the nightmare tyrant, where the combat effectiveness of the cultists will be enhanced to an exaggerated level.

However, Adele did not wait for the call from the dream. The surroundings were quiet without any unnecessary movement. A minute later, a vampire assassin behind her said softly:

"How about I go explore the way? If I don't come back within three minutes, you will ask for backup."

"good."

Adele nodded without hesitation, and the vampire behind him immediately stepped forward to enter the lost area to explore, but as soon as he crossed Sister E's shoulder, the molten sword in Adele's hand pierced his shoulder without hesitation. heart.

This sudden attack made the person in front of him widen his eyes in surprise. The flashing light in his eyes seemed to accuse Sister E of killing innocent people indiscriminately. However, after he fell to the ground, Adele turned back to look at the people behind her expressionlessly. She made an aggressive start.

"Director! What are you doing? Director! Are you crazy?"

"The director is controlled by cultists, control her quickly!"

There were noisy voices in the crowd, but in the next moment, more people drew their knives and stabbed into the bodies of those who were shouting. After just a few seconds, the space became quiet again.

"Why?"

The vampire impaled by Adele struggled on the ground and said:

"How did you see through it?"

"It is not our style to use human lives to explore the road, and the orders and prohibitions of the Shadow Intelligence Agency are not what you can imagine."

Sister E knelt down and took out a bottle of alchemical potion used to extract confessions, and was about to pour it down on the pretender in front of her. The latter's expression changed from shock to appreciation, and then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

The killed people behind him also dispersed in the same way, and the assassins following Adele fell to the ground one after another. The next second, the sound of applause sounded from the dark tunnel in front. As Sister E watched with vigilance, a tall man with a sword strolled out.

He wore a half-spider mask with an appreciative smile on his face, and he patted rhythmically with black leather gloves, seemingly very satisfied with Adele's performance.

"As expected of Truman's daughter! You have inherited your father's amazing sense of danger, and at the same time you have lived up to the aggressive genes he left you. Of course, I will not comment on the things your mother left behind. After all, I I've never liked that self-righteous idiot.

If it weren't for Mona's appearance, Truman would not have fallen into such a miserable ending.

I haven't introduced myself yet, so rude. "

He gave a standard and elegant greeting to the Shadow Elf, and introduced himself to Adele and said:

"My name is Sariv, Sariv Shadowblade, the current warrior chief of the Mejeva family. I was your father's most loyal follower and also his most outstanding disciple. Adele, you can call me ' uncle'."

"Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you 'enemy'?"

Adele replied coldly.

Her fingers holding the hilt of the sword quietly went around behind her and crushed a piece of crystal. The guy in front of her didn't show the slightest breath, but it could be seen from his posture that this was not an enemy that Adele could deal with.

"Don't bother, you can't send any news in this Hydra Shadow Barrier, girl."

Salifu didn't care about Adele's little actions at all. He seemed to be here just to reminisce about the past. He said with a nostalgic tone:

"This is the same technique your father taught me back then.

You may know that your father was once the most outstanding gladiator king in the Eternal Rift, but Truman is by no means a reckless man who only knows how to wield swords and guns. His talent in shadow magic even made the head of the Deborah family His mother was amazed by it, and this Hydra Shadow Barrier was his most commonly used method.

Trap your enemies in such a sensory-blocking imaginary maze that you can use pressure tactics to force them to kill each other without even using weapons.

You should be able to learn this easily. After all, he left the best things to you. Look at your eyes, they are exactly the same as his. Only this gleam of blood stains the bright pupils.

What an incredible decision you made to become a vampire. "

"Maybe this has nothing to do with you, Your Excellency."

Adele took a deep breath and prepared for battle.

But the moment she escaped into the shadows, the Shadow Blade, standing there in a very relaxed posture, suddenly drew out his sword, and slashed the slender straight-edged sword in front of him at Adele's sudden attack in an unpredictable manner. The direction cut through the shadow as accurately as a line, and finally let the sharp blade hover between Adele's eyes.

It did not cause any damage on contact with the skin.

The knife's ultimate control of power and use of perception made Adele ashamed. She realized that she could never be the opponent of the guy in front of her. In front of such a person, even death was a luxury.

"You're sweating profusely now, girl."

Sari chuckled.

He retracted the sharp blade as if playing with a child, caressing the simple but elegant weapon in his hand, not caring about Adele's movements at all, he said:

"Your father was so strong back then. It's a pity that he died because of a woman who didn't know how to live or die and a group of idiots who would only drag others down. Even if he killed five golden people before he died, in my opinion, he was still dead. worthless.

The fate of Truman taught me the most important lesson.

People cannot have weaknesses, otherwise no matter how strong they are, they will only become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

This lesson is given to you for free, now, take it. "

He turned his wrist, held the blade and handed the fixed-edged knife to Adele, saying:

"This is your father's relic. Its name is 'Black Shadow Fang'. It was a trophy obtained during an adventure deep into the Dark Territory with your father. You are the most qualified person to inherit it.

Don't be afraid, Adele.

I'm not here to hurt you today, I'm just going to meet you, hand over this thing and then leave.

But I guess you already know why I'm here. "

"Are you going to give me a chance too?"

Adele said hoarsely:

"Did you drag me into your organization for the sake of my father? I have probably guessed who you are. You were the one who assassinated Master Murphy before, right?"

"Owner?"

This title made Saliv frown, and he said:

"Although I am dissatisfied with the decision your father finally made, I think you should learn something from his death, and your extremely stupid mother should also teach you something. The only good thing about Mona is that she never Will call another person 'master'."

"You have been talking about my father. It seems that you really admire him. If he is still alive, if he gives you a chance to call him master."

Adele retorted:

"Would you say no?"

"Ha, sharp teeth and sharp mouth."

Salifu shook his head and stopped arguing with Adele. Instead, he threw it away and let the Black Shadow Fang Saber slip from the air and nail it in front of Adele.

As he turned around and walked into the shadows, he said:

"You still don't know why your father died. You don't really think that your mother can escape the pursuit of Mejwa City with her little strength, right? It was your father who agreed to a death duel in front of distinguished guests. In exchange for their survival.

He single-handedly fought against nine Golden Ones and killed five of them.

If it hadn't been for that fatal mistake, I even think Truman could have accomplished an unprecedented miracle.

You have no idea what kind of strong man your father is, Adele. If you have a chance in the future, you may be able to go to Mejwa City. You should go. "

Watching Salivu walk into the shadows, Adele asked the last question:

"So, are you one of those nine people? Shadow Blade!"

This question made Saliv stop for a moment. He was silent for a second and said softly:

"Didn't I say it? Truman made a fatal mistake and I survived. He died. I gave your life back to him today. Adele, stay away from Murphy. This is coming from an elder. advice.

You don't understand what your 'master' is doing, and you don't understand what kind of enemy he is facing.

Likewise, I don't want to visit you some dark night in the future. "

The sound of footsteps completely disappeared at this moment, and the barrier of the Shadow of Hydra also quietly dissipated.

In the silence, Adele held the elf-style sword inserted in front of her eyes. Perhaps it really came from the blood her father left on the blade, which gave Adele a feeling of blood connection with it. The weapons belonging to the Gladiator King of the Eternal Rift may indeed possess some incredible power.

In the darkness, Adele sighed.

He saved a life not because of his skills, but because of his blood.

Frankly speaking, this is indeed a bit shocking.

——

A few minutes later, in the airship in Saliv, after completing a visit, he received bad news from his followers as soon as he took out the tea set.

"What does 'our faction is gone' mean?"

The leader of Dusk, nicknamed "Slave Master" asked one word at a time:

"Explain clearly what's going on!"

"It's Murphy, sir."

A weak male voice responded from the other end of the communication device in the vehicle:

"The horrific weapon that killed the Lord of the Hunt was used a second time, against our faction's base, which was reduced to a scorched earth, destroying everything we had collected.

Only three people survived. Besides me, there are your disciple Penny and your adjutant Mr. Nassar, but Penny was seriously injured."

"I see."

This news was enough to make all the leaders collapse and break their defenses. Salifu crushed the tea cup in his hand, but his tone remained calm and he said hoarsely:

"Send Penny to the scholar and let him cure my student, no matter the cost!"

"The scholar has come here in person. He said that Penny's body has been purified by the creation energy and cannot be restored. However, he can extract Penny's consciousness and make it into a marionette, but the only special equipment required is from Port Chardonnay. There is one in the Craftsman University.”

The boy opposite started crying, causing Salifu to scold:

"Don't cry! Don't be as weak-minded as other Shadow Elf men. Bertie, bring Penny to join me on the Genoa Peninsula. I will cure my disciple. You must also shoulder your responsibilities as a man.

I know you have some feelings for her and now it's time for you to show it. As for Murphy.

I will deal with it myself, you are not his opponent yet. "

After hanging up the communication, Shadow Blade sat on his chair. He lowered his head and looked at his fingers. Thinking of the warning he had just given to Adele, this outstanding shadow elf warrior commander suddenly felt a sense of intertwined destiny. feel.

As an elder, he warned Adele, but Murphy turned around and gave him such a big job. Although the two things were not consistent and did not stem from the love between children, but think about it from another angle. .

Well, he is really a domineering man.

He felt like a clown. In the end, was he the one who couldn't see the contrast in power between the two sides?

"You can laugh if you want, Mistress, there are not many opportunities to see me in such a state of embarrassment."

Salifu, who lowered his head, whispered something, causing the plump shadow elf woman who was restrained in the passenger seat to shake her body and show a low-brow expression.

But she did smile.

In my heart, I sneered at this shameless man who chose to betray and ruin his family.

Alas, the last warrior chief of the Medjeva family betrayed him for a slave, and this one is even crazier. He teamed up with the world-destroying cultists to destroy the entire Medjeva family in one fell swoop, and he also preached a terrible thing. A concept that subverts the rules of an entire race.

As a result, I have fallen into this sad situation now. Maybe I really need to take a good look at my vision of finding a man.

"Dudu"

The communicator of the small spaceship rang again, and Saliv, who was in a bad mood, took the communicator and asked:

"who?"

"You sound like you're in a bad mood?"

"Well, Sir, please forgive me for being rude, I'm just..."

"I understand. If all the hard work over the years is wasted, everyone will break the defense. Other factions will fully support your reconstruction. But slave master, there is something you need to do now."

"You can give me your orders. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. Maybe I should thank Mr. Murphy for helping me reduce my burden."

"It's so funny. Keep up the good mood. You can't do this business without a good attitude. Well, the pleasantries are over. I need you to go to the Genoa Peninsula and find King Gehrman Bone Grinder.

Its current situation requires the help of friends.

And you know, we don't miss a beat. "
