Chapter 455: The Undead Arrives
After Lowell got rid of Anthony as the mouthpiece, Yang Qiu lost the direct channel to pay attention to this old man.
While Anthony was still riding his horse grunting after Lowell, Yang Qiu sensed that the player summoning array connected to his magic network matrix was moved, and only then did he infer Lowell's movements from the side.
"I finally figured it out."
Yang Qiu sighed.
Lowell did not use the player summoning circle directly in his own territory, but took the summoning circle outside. This was actually not in line with Yang Qiu's expectations... This proved that Lowell still had not made up his mind to overthrow and start over from his own fiefdom.
But no matter what, Lowell's determination to bring the undead plague that can sweep away and destroy everything to the homeland of the Principality of Shiga is at least a good start - this at least shows that he has finally realized that it is meaningless to petition blindly, and has adopted a tough attitude of "no commitment and no use of force".
As for whether these players can meet Lowell's wishes and stop in time after releasing the natural disasters, Yang Qiu can't guarantee it - let alone him, a "bad planner", the blood alliance boss and the player boss among the players dare not say that they can manage these idiots.
"Good luck to the Principality of Shiga."
Yang Qiu muttered something while watching the fun, then calmly glanced at the lit player anchor points in the matrix.
A large group of players are still killing "cultist monsters" in Rob Town, Xiluo Town and Shrub Town, and the escaped "Mrs. Louis" has not been caught yet.
But it doesn’t matter… Fighting on two fronts is a fatal matter for conventional armed groups, but for players, it is just two “large-scale events” open at the same time.
I sensed the speed and direction of the semi-permanent summoning circle at Lowell's place, and used my watch to calculate Lowell's moving speed... Very good, the "opening" time of the new "large-scale event" can still catch up with the peak period of players' online time, which is very appropriate.
Yang Qiu, who was in Robe Town, immediately rolled up his sleeves and "fabricated" the new map development plot in advance.
On the Earth plane, Tang Jia, who had just returned to school to report, completed the formalities, cleaned the dormitory, and went out of the school with his roommates to have a meal and buy some daily necessities. Then he returned to the dormitory, brushed his teeth, washed his face, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed and put on a helmet.
After logging on to Lars City, Tang Jia "opened" her eyes and saw a large group of people from the Lahongge Blood Alliance surrounding several undead horses, discussing something in a lively manner.
Tang Jia called on her online friends and relatives to invite her to join the group, while she looked at the group of extremely cool-looking undead horses with envy...
The knight mentor of Exile Town releases one of these undead horses every month (Earth time). Except for three that were "intercepted" by wealthy players, the remaining undead horses were all taken by the wealthy and powerful Lahong Blood Alliance.
Since the undead cannot lift heavy weapons and players are unlikely to learn how to ride horses to fight, these undead horses are not of much use in the hands of players and can only be used for traveling and running errands - but they are pretty cool!
The standard shoulder height is 1.7 meters, and the total weight of the frame and harness is close to half a ton. Just standing there motionless is impressive.
When running, four beautiful red lights will appear on the horseshoes (after all, they are used to recycle game coins, so "special effects" must be added, although this special effect is only visible to players). When riding a horse, you can also experience the cheetah's speed and endurance at the same level as the player (after all, it is an undead creature) - even if you can't ride a horse to fight, players who are keen on showing off in the game also want it!
After joining his own team, Tang Jia still stared at other people's undead horse and drooled for a long time before Qin Guan, who had recovered his CD, summoned him away with the "Book of the Dead".
"Fuck, it's so great that he has the Book of the Dead. He even squatted next to us to show it to us."
Tang Jia's figure disappeared, and the players of the Lahong Blood Alliance who were squatting near the Lars City teleportation point for a meeting were cursing.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Mingfeng Chunpu waved his hand and looked at Brother Lahong who had just come online. "Lahong, what do you think? Should we prioritize this task?"
Lahong, who had been staring at the shared quest for a long time, frowned and said, "Is this quest reliable? Isn't the main quest for the entire server now exploring the northern map of Tachia? Why doesn't the place name in this quest description match?"
"I also find it strange. The place name 'Taplin Heights' cannot be found in the Tachia map." Ming Feng said simply, "This quest was received from the Undead Chamber of Commerce by a player in my team who has a high reputation in the Chamber of Commerce. It is a worldview breakthrough quest. I think it is worth doing."
"If we have to do this mission, our Blood Alliance probably won't be able to allocate manpower to fight the wandering BOSS in Tachia." Huanling interjected.
The main quest of the new map "Capture Mrs. Louis" is shared by all players on the server. There are several groups of people from the Lahong Brother Blood Alliance wandering around the Shrub Town map...
Brother Lahong was suddenly in a dilemma.
In Tachia's "Northern Expansion Main Quest", when he was not online, the friends in the Blood Alliance who were online made a good start, but unfortunately they did not seize the advantage and were wiped out when they encountered the first BOSS (Pope of Joy)...
By the time the captains Mingfeng Chunpu, Huanling, Chenmi Xuexi, and Ba Ni Yitui Mao regrouped their teams and fought back, the other Blood Alliance players had already camped in Xiluo Town and Shrub Town and killed a lot of wild monsters. They only managed to get some soup.
Now, in the three-town map that has been developed in the north of Tachia Territory, there is only one valuable big boss (Mrs. Louis) wandering around.
Players have never heard of the "Taplin Heights" in the hidden mission, and it is not in the "big map" that has been opened to players. If they go to do this mission, the wandering BOSS will basically have nothing to do with their blood alliance.
It is the peak online period now. Countless teams are squatting in the northern map of Tachia Territory. The boss "Mrs. Louis" will definitely not survive until midnight...
Although hidden quests have no time limit, if you don't hurry up to complete them, they may be triggered by players with high reputation in other Guilds and they may be the first to complete them. Ever since the orange cat boss, a nobody, was able to receive hidden quests thanks to his high reputation in the Guild, the importance of Guild reputation has been known to all players in the server, and there are countless players who are working hard to improve their reputation!
After hesitating for a while, Brother Lahong gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. There are so many people looking for the BOSS, and no one can guarantee that they will find it. Now we are the only ones who have received the hidden mission, so let's focus on this mission first!"
"Okay." Ming Feng Chunpu nodded, "Then let's not announce the hidden mission to the Blood Alliance for now. Let's first recruit an elite group to do the errands and notify the others to save the transmission CD."
"Okay." Brother Lahong said, "Then I'll stay in Shrub Town first, so that others will think we are also looking for the BOSS. You and Huanling will lead the team to do the preparatory work."
"Okay, take all the undead horses with you." Mingfeng said simply and straightforwardly.
Although undead horses cannot be used in wars, they are indeed a magical tool for traveling and running errands... At this moment, both Entropy and Miao Bi Sheng Hua are online, letting the two girls find out that La Hong Ge, the boss who loves to show off, did not show off all the undead horses. They might find out that they are secretly doing hidden tasks.
The tactics used by players to deceive each other are actually very technical.
The two sides separated immediately. Lahong was teleported to Rob Town where there was a teleportation point, and then went to Shrub Town to show his presence. Mingfeng Chunpu and Huanling brought an absolutely reliable elite group that would not leak information, and were teleported back to Exile Town in batches.
Due to the special features of the Tarantan map (with dense wild monsters and monster spawning points), the novice village of Exile Town has maintained a high popularity to this day; even if the majority of players have gone to participate in large-scale events, there are still many casual players who still stubbornly stay in Exile Town to practice life skills.
These casual players cannot be underestimated, as no one knows how many spies of the Great Blood Alliance are among them. Mingfeng Chunpu did not relax at all. He asked the elite group that came back to take off their eye-catching equipment, stay dispersed, and quietly carry out preparatory tasks in the town.
Talk to Old Yang (the projection clone) in the town hall, run errands for the player NPC in the Undead Canteen (Yang Qiu directly threw some trivial matters to these players to solve), listen to the zombie NPC set as a member of the border guard of the Principality of Shejia, and introduce the story of the Principality of Shejia and the story of the Prosperous Church...
The novice village of Exile Town was originally set up by the pioneers of the Principality of Shega, and many of the ancient zombies in the town were also come from the Principality of Shega. Mingfeng Chunpu, a first-time test player, didn't feel anything wrong at all. He carefully sorted out the plot and analyzed the clues throughout the whole process, and came to the conclusion preset by Yang Qiu:
"I was wondering, this breakthrough mission is actually a mission to complete the background of Exile Town!"
According to the world view setting of the game "Alien World", the undead players resurrected by Lao Yang are all the pioneering group of the Principality of Shega that were wiped out & the border guards of the Principality of Shega who came to rescue but also failed. This is completely a mission to trace the origins of the players!
Ming Feng Chunpu became more and more excited, and enthusiastically urged the players in the elite group to run errands and enthusiastically work hard to carry out the tasks of moving bricks that were shelved after the players collectively shifted their focus to monster hunting and playing casually (playing with life skills)...
After Brother Lowell moved the summoning circle into place and prepared to summon the army of undead, Yang Qiu let go of these elite players who were working so hard to the point of doubting their lives.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon in the other world, and just eight thirty in the evening on Earth. The elite group players who had been working on the brick-moving task for more than an hour (Earth time) appeared on the frontline battlefield in the western border of the Principality of Shiga through a teleportation array that was only open to task players and whose coordinates were not displayed on the player's map.
The vast and empty highlands, the solemn and desolate military camp, the soldiers of the Prosperous Church Guard Cavalry Regiment who looked familiar, the familiar pretty boy Lowell, the blonde NPC with black cloak and a world-weary face and a familiar face...
"Hey, has the pretty boy got a new model?"
Ming Feng Chunpu walked out of the teleportation tent and was shocked when he saw Lowell, who was wearing a black robe and straw sandals and holding a scepter, waiting in front of him.
"What's going on? Why has the pretty boy become so much uglier?"
The phantom spirit who was a little more simple and honest spoke without restraint.
Lowell put on the azalea badge and formally welcomed the arrival of the dead: "..."
