Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 724 Unexpected Main Quest

   Liu Xing and Yin En walked and chatted and came to Zhang Wenbing's room.

   Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun were already in place.

After    Liu Xing sat down, he told the news that he and Yin En had inquired.

"It's no wonder that Cowans values ​​us so much, because he's not optimistic, but this is good news for us, because as long as Cowans is smarter, he should know what to do. ." Zhang Wenbing said with a smile.

Ding Kun shrugged and said: "I think this may be a bit difficult, because from the history of Cowens, Cowens is definitely not a reckless man who can only lead troops to fight, otherwise he would not be able to be there. In the past few decades, he has been promoted from a commoner to a marquis, and the reason why he let the two Cowen brothers go to the Church of Light as missionaries is probably to leave a way out for his family, so I think Cowens is very Like a low-profile version of Sima Yi."

   "Sima Yi?" Yin En raised his brows and said with some doubts, "Brother Ding, do you mean that Cowens is likely to usurp the country?"

Ding Kun nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I think Cowens is very ambitious, because what he is doing now is probably deliberately showing weakness to King Skaven, because I just met A guard in the castle, I learned a piece of news from the guard, that is, the summoning order issued by King Skaven actually only requires the number of troops that each lord needs to provide, and does not require each lord to be in his own. Recruiting new recruits in the territory, so Covance can recruit mercenaries to complete the task, which only needs to spend some money."

"We are all very clear now that the background of this mod is medieval Europe, and the main forces of war in medieval Europe are often mercenaries, because those nobles generally only need to provide some cavalry to participate in the war, so at this time Hiring a mercenary is not a shameful thing, and with the financial resources of the Covens family, it can afford a mercenary of about 2,000 people, so theoretically Covens is not what we imagined. Passive like that, recruits who cannot be recruited can be replaced by mercenaries.”

"However, judging from the current situation, Cowens does not intend to hire mercenaries, but wants to rely on Zhang Jingxu's hero status to force King Skaven to forgive him for recruiting a thousand soldiers less, then Cowens does this Is it any good for him? On the surface, it can be said that Cowens does more harm than good, because although Cowens spent less money on hiring mercenaries, he will still be given by King Skaven. In mind, although King Skaven will temporarily forbear because of Zhang Jingxu's reputation as a hero, after we leave the Skaven Kingdom, King Skaven will definitely find a chance to settle accounts in the autumn, so why does Cowens do it? Do it."

  Ding Kun paused here for a moment and glanced at Liu Xing and others

   In fact, after hearing this, Liu Xing already understood what Ding Kun meant, and Liu Xing also very much agreed with Ding Kun's idea.

   I didn’t expect Cowens to be so scheming.

"Obviously, Cowens will not be stupid enough to offend his new king for a little money, especially the king's temper is not very good, so he does this for only one purpose, that is to show the enemy. In order to make King Skaven think that he has no financial resources and manpower, King Skaven will lower the title of Cowens a little bit, and take back some fiefs, then according to the character of this King Skaven, Saying that, he is very likely to ignore Covance, and then Covance can keep a low profile like Sima Yi with peace of mind, and wait until a suitable time to make a blockbuster!" Ding Kun concluded.

   Liu Xing and others nodded in agreement.

Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "Sure enough, we are still a little slack, thinking that this moderately difficult module will be much simpler, but if Brother Ding hadn't gotten this important information, we would probably have been caught by Cowens. Playing around in circles, I thought it was because I got a bargain."

Yin En sighed, nodded and said: "It seems that this Cowens' ambition is not small, it stands to reason that he can recruit mercenaries to complete the task, so King Skaven can't do anything to him, after all, he also He didn't make any mistakes; but he is now taking the initiative to give King Skaven a handle. This risky move requires a lot of courage, but Cowens wants to use his own territory to usurp the throne. Wouldn't it be too hearty?"

Ding Kun laughed and said affirmatively: "I thought so too at the beginning, after all, Cowens' territory is so big, it is really impossible to rebel, so I went to other people to find out. In some cases, it was found that the current Skaven Kingdom is a powder keg that may explode at any time, because when the Scully clan chose to help the prince win the throne, a huge disaster was buried. Come down, because that prince is not the rightful heir to the Skaven kingdom."

According to the information collected by Ding Kun, the prince who used the Scully clan to win the throne was actually an illegitimate child. The title of prince, in fact, has no right of inheritance.

However, because the Scully clan entered the Skaven Kingdom from the prince's territory, the prince deceived the Scully clan chief at that time into saying that he was actually the legitimate heir of the Skaven Kingdom, and was defeated by other rebels who were fighting for the throne. The party was banished here, so he was willing to exchange favorable terms for the help of the Scully clan.

   As a result, the chief of the Scully clan, who was worried that he had nowhere to stay, agreed to the prince's request and sent troops to help the prince seize the throne.

   At the same time, the chief of the Scully clan finally found out that he had been deceived.

But this is the end, and the prince has fulfilled his promise, so the chief of the Scully clan can only hold his nose and confess, but since then the Scully clan and the Skaven Kingdom will become The "Surface Brothers" only reached a consensus on dealing with the Plague Clan, and at other times both sides kept a certain distance.

   This means that the current Scully clan will not stand on the side of the current Skaven royal family.

In addition, because the prince seized the throne by improper means, there are many nobles and descendants of the royal family members who are now dissatisfied with the current Skaven royal family. There have been many rebellions over the years. There are even rumors that the previous Skaven king was assassinated, so the new king is eager to make achievements to consolidate his throne.

By the way, because the previous king wanted to show favor to some great lords in exchange for their support, there are now many dominions in the Skaven Kingdom, and some of the lords of the dominions don’t even need to pay taxes, it’s just A country within a country.

"It turns out that it is indeed a ticking time bomb." Liu Xing frowned and said, "If King Skaven is not able to quell the rebels smoothly this time, and solve the plague clan entrenched in Ruszia, then The prestige of the new king will drop to the bottom, and those great lords will definitely take the opportunity to attack. It can be said that if this war fails, then the Skaven Kingdom will fall into civil strife again, and either someone will replace him, or Since then, there will be no Skaven kingdom; and even if the Skaven king can win this war, it is no different than drinking poison to quench his thirst, because the victory of the war means that there will be rewards, and some great lords have no rewards. It's rewarding."

"If there is no reward, then King Skaven has only two choices. One is to let those big lords set up vassal states like the Scully clan on the spot, and the other is to find a way to completely obliterate these big lords. And these two choices are very unfavorable for King Skaven, the former is equivalent to ceding territory, and the latter will lead to more rebellion!" Yun En continued.

   Obviously, the current Skaven Kingdom has entered the final countdown, no matter who wins or loses in the next war, the Skaven Kingdom will probably become history!

   At this time, Zhang Wenbing rubbed his temples and said, "What kind of thing is this? Why did we get caught up in such a big event?"

Ding Kun nodded, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect this medium-difficulty mod to come up with such a stupid plot, and we haven't been able to get out of this plot, but anyway, we still We have to find a way to solve the plague clan, after all, this is our main quest, and then we can only go to Bright City after finishing the fight, and we must not stay in the Skaven Kingdom for a long time."

As soon as Ding Kun finished speaking, KP Husky smiled and said: "Hey, you all guessed the next main quest wrong, because the Plague Clan is indeed a misnomer, they will not spread the plague, so the next main quest and the plague The clan doesn't really matter."

  . . .

   Liu Xing and others were all confused, but they didn't expect the next main quest to not solve the plague clan? !

At this time, KP Husky continued: "So you still don't make up so many plots, but your ideas are really interesting. We will also launch similar mods for other players to play in the future. After all, medieval Europe and Cthulhu. The myth is still quite suitable, and it just happened to launch a parallel world with ancient times as the background; let’s get down to business, congratulations to all players for officially triggering the main quest at this stage – the building will fall: the current Skaven kingdom is already crumbling, The throne is coveted by all powers, and the young King Skaven knows nothing about it."

"As a passing brave team, you naturally don't want to see the Skaven Kingdom being ruined, so you decided to support a certain faction in the Skaven Kingdom to hold power, so you can now choose to assist a certain party: One, Skaven King Louis of Calvin, the mission is extremely difficult; 2. Covens, the lord of Golden Peak, the mission is difficult; 3. Bonaparte, the lord of Sigaco, the mission is moderately difficult; 4. The imperial spy Wellington, the mission is easy; Fifth, forget it, let's go on our own, the difficulty of the task is **** level."

   After listening to the introduction of the kp husky's mission, Liu Xing and others have been unable to complain.

When he heard that the new king of Skaven was named Louis, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the unfortunate Louis XVI, and after listening to the representatives of the remaining major forces, Liu Xing was even more sure that this was the Playing with the Louis XVI meme.

  Who was Louis XVI?

   The only king in Europe to be executed.

   This has already predicted the future of the Skaven king, so it is extremely difficult to assist him.

As for Bonaparte in Sigaco City, Liu Xing knew after thinking for a moment that this was actually Napoleon, because Napoleon's surname was Bonaparte, and as for Sigaco City, it was the island of Corgissi upside down, so now although Liu The star has not seen Bonaparte, but it is not difficult to think that this Bonaparte should be a dwarf. . . Although Napoleon's height of 1.7 meters is not too short, it does not affect the modder to play this stalk.

   And Louis XVI is the king of France, and Bonaparte should take his place as a matter of course, so the difficulty given by kp Husky is medium.

   As for the imperial spy Wellington, the prototype obviously refers to the general Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

Of course, because Wellington is a spy sent by the Empire to the Skaven Kingdom, he must have the support of the Empire behind him, so it is quite possible for him to defeat Bonaparte and obtain the Skaven throne. The difficulty of Warrington will be simple, which is very scientific.

  The difficulty of Covance's assistance is difficult and understandable, because Covance does not belong to a "historical figure", so he does not have any "plot" advantage.

   As for the **** difficulty that is impossible to complete at a glance, Liu Xing does not want to make any comments on this.

   "Okay, you still have an hour to choose to assist that side." KP Husky said with a smile.

After Liu Xing and others were silent for a while, Ding Kun said, "First of all, we can rule out the first and last choices, because these two choices are wrong at first glance, after all, how can we foreigners get The throne of the Skaven Kingdom, unless this is really France; as for the Skaven King Louis, from his name, he knows that the gallows is his final destination, and we are no different from courting death if we follow him."

   Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "I think so too, so there are actually only three strengths for us to choose from, but I want to say now that the difficulty provided by kp is for reference only."
