Chapter 346: A war without moral principles (Part 3)
The numbers of the six temporary teleportation points are randomly generated (randomly marked). It all depends on luck as to which point the player chooses to teleport to and which area of the Midtown area they appear in after teleporting.
Qin Guan's group was obviously very lucky. The teleportation point they chose was right next to Viscount O'Neill's Mansion, less than 300 meters away in a straight line. With the players' long-standing habit of using identification skills, they were guaranteed to find the target within three minutes.
Just two minutes and fifty seconds after the Undead Army unilaterally declared war and immediately penetrated deep into the enemy camp to use the center-blooming tactics, a lucky player came across Viscount O'Neill's Mansion which was filled with red-named monsters.
In the Viscount's mansion, no one had noticed that the crisis was approaching...
Viscount O'Neill has had a very difficult time these past two days.
After being rejected without any hesitation by Count Ezekiel, Viscount O'Neill knew that he could not keep his viscount title - he was not stupid, and the Count had no need to challenge Inadri to help him keep his family property and title; if he could use a mere viscount title to hold back Coulson, the traitor, and cut off Inadri's excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of Adler County, only a fool would not do it.
After being driven out of the lord's mansion, even though Viscount O'Neill was extremely unwilling, he had to quickly contact people to hire a boat and prepare to flee elsewhere.
He had just rented a boat when the newspaper published the news that his good nephew Coulson had included Ezekiel's family in his revenge targets.
Viscount O'Neill hid in his study and laughed wildly for a long time... Ezekiel's family was planning to sit on the other side and watch the fire? ! Who would have thought that this fire would also burn under your buttocks!
Although he was gloating over other's misfortune, Viscount O'Neill did not stop packing up and fleeing. The walls of Dutata City could not stop the undead who could come and go freely even in Lionel's army. Viscount O'Neill had to find another way out.
The wealth accumulated by the O'Neill family over the past two hundred years is no small sum, and Viscount O'Neill would never leave it to Coulson; not only the property, but also the talents cultivated over generations would not be left behind - especially the family knights, private soldiers, stewards and deacons over the years, and loyal servants, all of which were the capital for Viscount O'Neill to make a comeback after escaping.
When the undead appeared in the inner city of Dutata City, Viscount O'Neill had just transferred back the stewards and deacons who were worth taking away from various farms. Dozens of family private soldiers and two family knights had also gathered in the O'Neill mansion.
If the undead had arrived one day later... no, half a day later, Viscount O'Neill's entire family, property, and necessary manpower would have been transferred to a large ship docked near the port and would have traveled to the royal capital to seek refuge.
Unfortunately, Yang Qiu did not give the viscount a chance to escape.
When the screams of passers-by were heard on the street outside, no one in Viscount O'Neill's mansion heard them... Everyone was busy packing their belongings and loading them onto the carriage, and the noise was much louder than that on the street outside.
As the undead cheered and climbed up the wall of the Viscount's mansion, the servants who were busy packing the luggage, the housekeeper who was watching the scene, and the private soldiers who were helping to load the belongings into the car, realized that something was wrong...
“Aaaaa——!!”
The maid who was holding gold and silver jewelry screamed, the domineering butler trembled and fell to the ground, and the male servant who was carrying a heavy clothing box dropped his carrying pole and fled in fear with his head in his hands.
Even a wizard player wearing a robe could easily climb over the three-meter-high wall. A large number of undead jumped into the yard at a speed not much slower than running, and happily pounced on the "red-name monster" in their eyes...
The Viscountess was instructing the maid to take down the silver candlesticks hanging on the wall in the front hall. When she heard the noise coming from outside, she turned back angrily and was about to scold, but she found that the undead were pouring into the house like a tide... She was stunned on the spot.
Viscount O'Neill was on the second floor personally packing his art collection into wooden boxes filled with large amounts of cotton. When he heard something wrong, he took two steps towards the window with sweat all over his forehead... and suddenly his eyes went dark.
Amid the howling of ghosts and wolves, the private soldiers maintained by the O'Neill family and two family knights tried hard to resist... but it was of no use. The number of undead was more than ten times that of the private soldiers. These private soldiers were not wearing armor or riding horses, so they could not cause much waves at all.
While the elite group that gave me medicine was dealing with the "elite monsters" with an average level of three, the other players were not idle either. They happily rushed into the O'Neill family's house with a history of more than a hundred years, and rushed towards all the red-named monsters that were scanned out by the identification technique with the function of penetrating walls...
Qin Guan's Blood Alliance has grown to a total of over 1,000 members, with more than 600 players stably online. A group of 600 people ransacked the Viscount's mansion, which covered an area of more than two acres. It was like using a comb to comb your hair. Not to mention fleas, even flea eggs could not escape.
In less than ten minutes, the private soldiers and family knights who were resisting stubbornly, the Viscountess who fled to the utility room in panic, Viscount O'Neill and the butler who hid in the secret room, Master O'Neill who hid in the flower hall, the butler who took off his butler's uniform and tried to blend in with the butlers...all the valuable "captives" were tied up and turned into pigs.
The male servants who were moving things and the female servants who were packing up the belongings screamed for a long time, but the undead seemed to not see them and walked past them without even a glance...
In RPG games, it is very common to see a few civilian NPCs yelling along to add to the atmosphere of the plot when players are doing their work (tasks). There is nothing special about it!
All the captives that can be exchanged for reputation are tied up, and the players happily loot them... and collect the spoils.
Because Viscount O'Neill was planning a big move, the players didn't even bother rummaging through boxes and drawers. They happily took out valuable items from packed bags, wooden boxes, leather bags, and bamboo baskets and put them into their own backpacks.
The ignored male and female servants looked at the undead who were looting in front of them in confusion, then realized that these undead really had no interest in them and ran away.
When some servants ran away, they cleverly stole one or two unwanted vases, tableware, bedding rolls, and other things away...
On this side, Qin Guan's group discovered the enemy, captured the enemy and began to plunder the battlefield. On the other side, La Hongge's group was still marching on the central avenue of Zhongcheng District in a daze.
Brother Lahong's blood alliance has developed quite well. After all, he has been the mayor of Exile Town for a long time and has monopolized the monster spawning resources in the wild for a long time. Those who can join his blood alliance are heavy players with a very high online frequency, and the large group he has formed has more than 900 people.
The central avenue of Duwata City is similar to the Sapphire Street of Inadre City. It is the concentrated area of commercial activities in Duwata City, densely populated with large and small shipping companies, shipping companies, membership-based private clubs, membership-based clubs, high-end restaurants, photo studios, high-end cloth shops, boutique clothing stores and other industries.
Nearly a thousand undead suddenly appeared on the busy central avenue in the morning. The commotion caused can be imagined...
The Bounty Hunters Association, which rented a floor in a building owned by a shipping company as a business location, received several guests this morning and was seriously discussing a big business deal.
When chaotic ghost howling sounds were heard downstairs, the people from the bounty society and the guests looked at each other and walked to the window to look down.
The large group of undead that occupied almost half of the street and was moving in a scattered manner made everyone in the building drop their jaws in shock.
The guests of the Dutata Bounty Association branch are two agile gold medal hunters who came to the Rhine Kingdom to complete a commission from a noble of the Nosk Federation.
The two gold medal hunters who were originally planning to go to Innadri heard on the way that Innadri was controlled by the followers of the black magician. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they took a detour to Adler Territory.
The two gold medal hunters who were tasked with important tasks were surprised to see undead here. They looked at the branch president of Dutata City in horror.
Branch President: “…”
He also wanted to know what was going on!
"--Don't be too nervous." The branch president of Dutata City explained to his colleagues from the Nosk Federation, "The branch president of Innadri, Kelly Simon, has had dealings with these undead spirits several times. As long as you don't deliberately provoke them, these undead spirits won't intentionally cause trouble for anyone."
As soon as the head of the Dutata City branch finished speaking, the undead group that was casually walking on the street and looking around harmlessly suddenly launched a collective charge...
The target is the lord's mansion located in the middle of the central avenue.
The central avenue is densely populated with buildings, and there are not many open areas that can be used to set up temporary teleportation points. Yang Qiu can only place the teleportation point next to the parking lot at the end of the avenue. Players who come out of this teleportation point will have to spend more time to find the "red-named monster".
Brother Lahong led the group to teleport here and strolled around half the street but couldn't find any monsters. He then listened to the 007 (spy) player hiding on Qin Guan's side reporting that Qin Guan's gang not only found the "monster spawning point", but also cleared the monsters and started cleaning up the battlefield. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he felt extremely upset.
After much difficulty, they finally found a "spawning point" with a bunch of red-named monsters. Brother Lahong was so excited that his voice changed. He shouted "Follow me" and rushed out first, leading the way towards the enemy troops in front of the gate of the lord's mansion...
Ezekiel's family was luckier than the O'Neill's. Before the undead found a place, Count Ezekiel's butler had already learned that the central avenue was full of undead.
When Lahongge excitedly discovered the lord's mansion, the earl's steward had hastily mobilized all the troops in the mansion and assembled them in front of the gate.
The pedestrians who fled to the streets and alleys, and the residents of the buildings around the City Lord's Mansion, stared in amazement as nearly a thousand undead rushed to the Lord's Mansion and fought with the Lord's soldiers...
On the fourth floor of the shipping company building, two gold medal hunters who were standing at the window witnessing all this turned their heads at the same time and looked heavily at the branch president.
The branch president's face was also very heavy.
"Well... not long ago, the nobles of Innadri declared war on the Ezekiel family." The head of the Dutata City branch tried his best to remain calm and explained to the two colleagues from other places, "Now it seems that it is time for war."
Since they are at war, it is normal for both sides to use force.
Two hunters: "..."
When two armies are at war, one side goes directly into the city to attack the other side's lord's mansion? Is this how you Rhine nobles fight wars? ?
The branch president pretended not to notice their confusion and stared intently at the battle scene downstairs.
The black magician Yang gets along well with Innadri's bounty association and even lets his undead do tasks for the bounty association. With such a friendly relationship as a premise, the branch president of Dutata City is very optimistic about whether Adler Territory will change and whether it will also be controlled by Yang's followers.
As for why the Tarantan Undead, who were supposed to be attacking the city outside, appeared on the avenue in the central city and even attacked the Ezekiel's lord's mansion right away, such unethical details... the branch president forced himself to ignore them.
Ezekiel's troops have not been fully recalled, and at least 30% of them are still scattered outside.
The recalled troops were not all stored in the lord's mansion, but were arranged at the military preparation station near the south city gate. After all, who could have imagined that the enemy would completely ignore the city wall and directly airdrop into their own lair to kick the bedroom door of the highest commander? !
In other words, there were only a regular force of fifty people left guarding the lord's mansion .
With so few professional soldiers, no matter how brave and skilled they were, and how powerful they were, they could not stop nearly a thousand undead. They only managed to hold out for a few minutes before they were completely overwhelmed by the fearless undead who would rush over from the other end of the central avenue to fill their positions even if they died...
