Chapter 345: A War Without Martial Ethics (Part 2)
As soon as Entropy is released, I heard that a nurse player in a casual fixed group received a dynamic plot battlefield pre-task from Lord Yang. My first reaction was: "Old Yang can actually trigger such a large-scale task? This NPC is not going to enter the dungeon?"
"Why do all the good things happen to the wizard? No one loves the warriors at all." Tang Jia said jealously.
Yang Ying urged in the Blood Alliance channel: "Hurry up and join the group, they are almost done with their pre-mission."
The two girls joined the big group formed by the Blood Alliance. Enbuteng glanced at the list of team members and sent a message to Miaobishenghua to ask about the details of the mission. Miaobishenghua, who was online half an hour earlier than her, had indeed found out the details of the mission and quickly sent a private message to Miaobishenghua:
"The nanny of Xiao Zhou's gold farming group received a mission and met Lao Yang near the teleportation point. Lao Yang took the initiative to talk to the nanny of Xiao Zhou's group."
"The guy who plays the healer is the one in Xiao Zhou's gold farming team who is responsible for brushing up the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. Lao Yang's reputation is also quite high, probably because of the double buff."
"The mission is called 'Revenge of the Lady'. Xiao Zhou and his friends have been running around in the main city for a few rounds. The story is that there is a lady named China Darcy in Innadri. This lady has an aunt who married into Adler..."
In order to make players willing to work in the game, necessary task links are indispensable.
Because China Darcy had never been a tool NPC and was not in Innadri, Yang Qiu only arranged a few clerks and zombie NPCs squatting in the Innadri Undead Chamber of Commerce stronghold in this temporary "Revenge of the Lady" mission, and Yang Qiu's own projection clone appeared to trick the players into running errands while explaining the plot...
This type of "go somewhere, kill a few" type of task is naturally fine for ordinary players, but it is not good enough for Entropy Bu Gao, who is addicted to puzzle games. He said with disdain: "It can be said that it is a dynamic plot task, but the design is too crude."
“I guess that the crappy planner finally remembered that they haven’t organized any events for over a month, so he improvised one.” Miaobishenghua agreed.
At ten o'clock in the morning in the other world, six-thirty in the afternoon on Earth, the lucky player who had been running errands for the NPC back and forth in the city of Innadri finally completed the last round and unlocked the temporary teleportation point on the battlefield map.
"【System Announcement】A team of eight players successfully completed the world view breakthrough mission and unlocked a new map: Adler Territory, Dutata City."
"【System Announcement】A team of eight players successfully completed the battlefield pre-mission "Revenge of the Lady"."
“【System Announcement】The dynamic battlefield "Colson O'Neill's Revenge" has begun. Brave Undead Warriors, take up your weapons and head to Dutata City to defend fairness and justice for our human friends!”
Three rows of yellow words popped up from the online players' information bar. Players who had formed large groups long ago near the teleportation points of Westram, Innadri City, Exile Town, and Desolate Stronghold cheered and rushed into the teleportation points...
The next moment, dense white light shone from above the six teleportation points that Yang Qiu had arranged in advance in the open areas of the city of Dutata...
It's not the real online peak yet, there are about tens of thousands of players online, and about the same number of people coming to join the battle; with so many people squeezing out from the same teleportation point, hundreds of players will be killed in the battle before the fight starts due to crowding and trampling... Yang Qiu must not let this embarrassing situation happen.
Anyway, he has money and supplies now, so setting up a few more temporary teleportation points is just a piece of cake.
This setting is to prevent non-combat casualties among players... In the eyes of the residents in the central city of Dutata, it is an extremely terrifying doomsday of the undead.
In the public garden on East Street in the central city, many middle-class women in long skirts were walking in groups of two or three, each led by their servants, on the cobblestone path in the tree-lined path.
The city of Dutata is quite hot in autumn, and going out for a walk in the morning when it is still cool is a regular way for middle-class women to socialize. After all, most middle-class families can hardly afford to go on vacation to a country estate, and showing one's idleness as much as possible in the morning when ordinary people are busy making a living is the most cost-effective way to gain a sense of superiority.
While these middle-class women were chatting and socializing leisurely, a dense white light suddenly burst out in a corner of the garden, which was very conspicuous even in broad daylight.
The middle-class women who were trying hard to imitate the aristocratic manner looked over calmly... and saw large groups of undead souls emerging from behind the ornamental plants.
“Aa ...
“Oh my god!!”
Screams were heard one after another. The middle-class women, who usually pretended to be out of breath even when they took a quick walk, now didn't care at all about pretending to be pampered and delicate. They just lifted the hem of their long skirts and ran away without the help of servants.
The servants brought by the ladies were in a similar situation. Those who were still somewhat rational would follow their mistresses, while those who were so scared that they ran away without even knowing where their masters were.
Coming out from this teleportation point were Qin Guan, Give Me Medicine, Yang Ying and other players from the same blood alliance.
Old players have long been accustomed to the reactions of NPCs in new maps. It was the first time for newcomers in the third test to see such a scene where birds and beasts scatter as soon as an NPC appears. Many new players were even affected by the NPC's reaction and looked around nervously, thinking that there might be some monster nearby...
"Don't look around. The NPCs are afraid of us. All the NPCs in the new map are like this." Yang Ying pulled his apprentice and said, "When we went to Moses Port to help the Queen fight, the NPCs there were also like this."
"Oh." The little apprentice followed Yang Ying obediently, feeling embarrassed.
Qin Guan was the first to emerge from the shade of the trees. He looked around curiously and exclaimed, "Damn, this looks like another main city map? It looks even more awesome than Innader City!"
"This crappy game wastes server resources on this kind of thing again." Give Me Medicine said angrily, "Why are there so many buildings and NPCs? It would be better to open up more places for the internal test."
Miaobishenghua and Enbuteng have already observed the place where the teleportation point came out, and both girls are very confused.
"Why is it different from the dynamic battlefield I played before? Where are the enemies? Where are the friendly forces?" Miaobishenghua looked confused.
The NPC who had already run out of the park area threw out the identification spell: "Citizens... Citizens... Citizens... Eh? Why are they all citizens?"
The players, who had filled up half of the public garden, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Wait, let me ask the others what's going on there first." Miaobishenghua opened his friend list in confusion and sent a message to Chenmi Xuexi, "Where did you send the Xuexi to? Are there any monsters there?"
The girl who was obsessed with learning and was working with her own blood alliance team quickly responded with a brilliant pen: "We were transferred to a street, and all the NPCs we saw were citizens. Huahua, there are no monsters over there?"
Wonderful Writing: "...What the hell?!"
Entropy Bu Zeng exclaimed, "Ah!" and suddenly realized, "No wonder the pre-mission this time is so simple. It's only when we enter the battlefield that it officially begins. We have to find the monsters ourselves, right?"
Old players who thought they could grab the monsters right away couldn't help but curse: "This is outrageous! There are so many things to do in a dynamic battlefield. Can't they just swipe the monsters at the players' faces?"
"The dog planner has no heart!"
Despite the scolding, the players were still very honest in their actions... They walked out of the park and diligently used identification skills to search for the enemy.
The newbies in the third test had already consumed the obsolete equipment stored by the old players, and it took too long to store the materials and exchange them for equipment from the Chamber of Commerce. Many of the old players' disciples, including Yang Ying, didn't even have a complete set of equipment. The players really needed a hearty looting... and fighting to fill in the equipment gap.
Although Dutata City has various bad reputations, it is still a large commercial city with a port and is located on the land trade route. There are many mid- to high-end hotels and inns in the central city.
The Martin Hotel on East Street is home to many out-of-town businessmen.
When a woman's scream was heard from the direction of the Public Garden, the Martin Hotel, which was less than 200 meters away from the park, also heard the noise. A group of Norse people who were playing cards in the hotel lobby came out of the hotel upon hearing the noise, and looked curiously in the direction of the park.
The group of Norsk people who were staying at the hotel in the central city because the fleet had docked for supplies watched in horror as hundreds of undead poured out of the park and walked ostentatiously onto the street...
The central area of any city is the safest place, and Dutata City is no exception. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to get in, let alone gang thugs or mercenaries whose identities cannot withstand scrutiny.
Seeing so many undead pouring onto the streets in the supposedly safe Midtown area, the group of Norsk people were stunned for several seconds before they confirmed that they were not hallucinating in broad daylight. They quickly retreated back to the hotel in horror and yelled at the doorman at the top of their lungs, "Close the door! Close the door quickly!"
The frightened hotel doorman reacted and hurriedly followed the guests into the group, closing the door with a bang and locking the door latch with a click.
The group of undead almost filled up the entire East Street. When they passed by the Martin Hotel, many of them stopped and made uniform and weird gestures towards the hotel's large floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the hotel lobby, guests, doormen, and staff stared in horror at the ghosts of the dead, who were only separated by a layer of glass.
Two seconds passed, which was actually very short but felt extremely long to people. The undead who was gesturing at them lowered his arms, turned his head, and walked away without looking back.
The Norsk merchant, who had seen a lot of storms, felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.
A large group of undead passed by the hotel. The Nosk merchant, who had just been alarmed, couldn't control his curiosity. He ran to the floor-to-ceiling window and turned his head to look in the direction where the undead left.
East Street is a busy commercial street. Even in the morning, many businesses are open and there are many pedestrians on the street.
Wherever the ghosts went, passers-by screamed and ran away or shrank to the side of the road in fear. Merchants on both sides also fled in terror into the depths of their own shops.
The weird thing is... these undead spirits, who looked menacing and had ill intentions, just kept making weird gestures at people, but no attacking behavior was seen.
Before these Nosk people, who had just been severely frightened, could figure out what this outrageous scene meant, they saw... the undead who were walking lazily in the street in a loose formation suddenly rushed in the same direction as if they had heard some kind of order.
A group of Norsemen, including the curious doorman, almost pressed their faces against the French window before they could see clearly that the group of undead were rushing towards a luxurious mansion.
"Where is that?" A Norsk merchant stared at the doorman in surprise with his eyes wide open.
The hotel doorman swallowed and said, "It seems to be... Viscount O'Neill's house, a guest."
Nosk Merchant: “???”
In the time it took to ask and answer questions, the undead had already climbed over the wall of the Viscount's mansion...
