Chapter 456: That’s it?
"Oh my god, how come the pretty boy looks so haggard? What happened?"
"The case is solved. The case is solved. I was wondering why the pretty boy hadn't been seen for so long. It must be that his ambition to usurp the throne was discovered by Old Yang, and that despicable human Old Yang exiled him!"
"That's too bad, Xiao Luo! Being a prince for a long time means you have to do rough things, why don't you understand~"
Rowell took a deep breath. He knew that these undeads always spoke and acted without any taboos, so there was no need to be angry about this.
At this time, more and more players came out of the teleportation tent. More players saw the "updated model" of Lowell, and also saw the lich who appeared in front of the players in human form for the second time.
When Envi first appeared, he was only witnessed by a group of quest participants. Afterwards, those players posted screenshots of Envi on the forum. Because Envi's humanoid, world-weary handsome appearance and lich-type "paywall skin" were both quite special, players could not forget them even though they only existed in screenshots.
"Damn, isn't this the suspected new faction leader that was posted on the forum?!"
"Hey, I remember this guy too. He seems to have a paid skin!"
"The pretty boy was exiled by Old Yang, and now he's hooking up with this guy? Are they planning to form a group to usurp Old Yang's position? Great!"
“I smell melon!”
"Fuck, are the relationships between NPCs so messy?"
Veins appeared on Lowell's forehead, and his fists clenched unconsciously...
Envy, who was not wearing the azalea badge, could not hear the chatter of these aliens, but his emotions were relatively stable. He stood calmly behind Lowell as a background.
Amidst the extremely rude noise, a ghost with a strange ID of "Mingfeng Chunpu" stood in front of Rowell and spoke politely and casually: "Hello, Rowell, do you need help from your ghost friends?"
This was not the first time that Rowell had dealt with players, but he was very angry at the players who gossiped about you and said bad things about you in front of you one second, and dared to communicate with you as if nothing had happened the next second. He said with a stern face: "I really need your help, Undead Warriors. The Barnes coalition is trying to invade the Principality of Shiga, and their army is forty miles ahead..."
To seek help from the dead, three conditions must be met:
First, you must prepare undead coins or equipment and weapons favored by the undead as rewards.
Second, regardless of whether the undead wants to listen or not, the details of the mission must be fully explained.
Third, you must be able to accept that the undead will loot the spoils after participating in the battle.
Lowell once led the undead army to attack the city of Innadri on behalf of Rex, and also led the undead army to help the Odysseus family solve problems. He is very familiar with this set of fixed procedures, and can "competently" perform his "NPC" duties even if he is unhappy.
As for the players... they obviously don't care about the attitude of the NPC who issues the quest, or whether he is clenching his fists and trying to resist the urge to beat up all the players present.
As soon as Lowell announced the name "Barnes Coalition" and pointed out the enemy's location, Ming Feng Chunpu excitedly waved his arms, clenched his bone claws, and excitedly turned to his friends and shouted: "Brothers! It's a battlefield activity--!!"
"yeah!!"
“Great!”
"Damn it, all the work before moving the bricks was in vain!"
"I'm rich, I'm rich ! Oh hahaha!"
Lich Enwei looked expressionlessly at the group of undead who were pointing at him and Lowell, and suddenly they started jumping and shouting in cheers. He took a half step forward and approached Lowell: "What on earth are they talking about?"
"...They are happy to join the battle." Lowell said with a stern face.
Envy knew that the undead were actually aliens projected across the world, and Lowell naturally knew it too.
The lich Enwei glanced at Rowell and retreated silently.
Even with Lowell's temper, he was so angry that his face turned red. These aliens must have said something extremely offensive... But since Lowell didn't say anything, there was no need for him to interfere.
Enwei did not respond. Lowell hesitated and added, "Enwei, if it is not necessary, it is better not to wear the azalea badge."
Enwei: “…”
Okay, he understood. These aliens not only offended Lowell, but also him.
As usual, the players didn't care whether the NPC's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. After accepting the task, they threw Lowell and Enwei aside and happily formed a large group and called for help.
More than 1,400 players in Lahongge's Blood Alliance had already reserved their teleport CDs, and when they were pulled into the large group led by Mingfeng Chunpu, they teleported over impatiently...
All the players in the group were teleported to their positions. Brother Lahong, who was riding a flashy undead horse, raised his arm and called out. This group of guys who had no organization or discipline at all formed a long snake formation, rushed out of the barracks in a noisy manner, and rushed towards the enemy with cheers...
Rowell, who was already used to the player's style, looked calm.
The lich's face froze as he saw the undead fighting style for the first time.
Joyce Andre and other priests, who had only witnessed a test player tying up a noble's private soldiers two years ago, were all stunned.
Are these messy and disorderly skeletons really the famous Tarantan Undead?!
That's it? ?
"Friar, they just... just attacked like that?!" Joyce Andre couldn't hold it in any longer and came forward to ask.
Rowell nodded.
"This, this..." Joyce Andre, an officer of the Padre Cavalry Regiment, was at a loss. "Is this possible?"
"It shouldn't work." Rowell said expressionlessly, "If nothing unexpected happens, these undead will be defeated soon."
Joyce Andre: “???”
The local border guard officer in charge of guarding Taplin Heights was originally just standing back and listening, but upon seeing this, he couldn't help but step forward a few steps and said with an indescribable expression on his face: "Brother, do you need us to send troops to support... the undead?"
Brother Lowell suddenly arrived and proposed that the garrison and the reinforcements of the Guardians retreat to the main camp, and that he would be in charge of the front battlefield. The garrison commander, who was only a lieutenant colonel, naturally could not refuse - before Brother Lowell was removed from his post as the commander-in-chief of the Guardians by the Prosperous Holy Land, he had led troops to support various borders for a long time, and it was common for him to temporarily replace the garrison commander in command.
Upon hearing that the monks would call upon the continent's famous Tarantan Undead to aid in the battle, the garrison officer had some expectations... But now seeing that these skeletons were so disorganized before the battle even began, they were even worse than the nobles' private soldiers, the officer's heart sank.
"No need." Rowell still had a blank expression on his face. "Don't worry. Although these undeads may seem unreliable , you can still rest assured to leave the battlefield to them."
The garrison officer nodded with an indescribable expression, turned around, and quickly called on his soldiers to strengthen the defense of the camp.
Upon seeing this, Joyce Andre signaled his own priests to check their weapons and equipment, feed the horses, and prepare for battle first.
About twenty minutes later, patches of white light flashed in the summoning tent that was specially set up on the flat ground in front of the military camp, and countless undead came out of it cursing.
"Who is the idiot who yelled charge? Is it okay for a bunch of squishy walkers to lead the charge into the red-name pile?!"
"I was careless. I killed too many monsters on the Tachia map and forgot that the battlefield monsters would kill me!"
"Tonna, if it weren't for the unlimited resurrection in the battlefield activities, we would have to be wiped out in this wave!"
Mingfeng Chunpu squeezed out of the crowd in a panic and found the equally dusty Lahong brother: "No, Lahong, there are too many monsters on the battlefield. I don't think we can handle them all by ourselves."
Brother Lahong wiped his face and said, "Call people. Call all the brothers and friends in the blood alliance, and also call the blood alliances that we have a good relationship with."
Nowadays, there are many players, and it is no longer the case that you cannot win battlefield activities without cooperating with Qin Guan and others. Ming Feng Chunpu agreed and mobilized the players in the large group to call their friends. He also opened a friend list and contacted the players who had cooperated with him to defeat BOSS and complete tasks one by one to form a blood alliance.
Soon, many players who were boringly searching for wild monsters on the Tachia map joined Mingfeng Chunpula's group and actively ran to the nearest teleportation point...
On Taplin Heights, in front of the border garrison camp of the Principality of Shiga, the number of undead souls increased sharply, and soon exceeded the 10,000 mark...
The border guards in the military camp looked at the group of undead with expressions that changed from curiosity, confusion, surprise, to fear...
Lowell moved a chair to the front of the barracks and stared at the summoning circle. He turned to the confused garrison officer and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that when the undead go to war, you must not send troops out of the camp. You must not let the undead mistakenly think that we intend to snatch the fruits of the battle from them."
The garrison officer nodded dully.
If the undead that blocked the front of the military camp had not greeted Brother Lowell in a seemingly friendly (?) manner (pointing and chattering), the garrison officer might have been so stressed that he tried to send troops to drive away these skeletons that looked even more creepy as their numbers grew - fighting alongside the undead, without a second thought!
Then... the undead army, which had grown rapidly in number, continued to form a long snake formation that was hard to look at right under the noses of the garrison officers, and rushed towards the enemy in an even more chaotic and disorderly direction.
Garrison officer: “…”
The garrison officer shielded his eyes with his hands and turned his head away.
It's too spicy to watch!
If the Barnes coalition were defeated by this chaotic undead army, who knows whether the enemy commander would collapse on the spot!
On the other side, in the northern part of Tachia Territory, there are three towns that have been occupied by players.
"Strange... Why do I feel like there are suddenly fewer people?"
Yang Ying, who was leading the team to search the road section between Shrub Town and Rob Town, looked back in confusion and said, "When we passed this way half an hour ago, we encountered three groups along the way; now we are going back along this road and only see one group. Have those teams given up? Don't they want to find the BOSS anymore?"
"Probably." En Buzeng said, "We've almost cleared all the wild monsters in this map, and we're not sure if the remaining BOSS will be killed in the plot. It's normal that some people are too lazy to look for it."
If a boss is killed by a "plot kill" - that is, Lao Yang personally kills the boss, the biggest drop of Divine Crystal and the reputation of the kill will be blacklisted, and players can only get pure magic crystals and other rare materials.
"These people are too weak." The hot-tempered Jia Luo said unhappily, "We can't continue to move north until the last BOSS is defeated. Even if it's for the new map and the refreshed wild monsters, we should actively look for monsters. Why are we stuck here?"
"It's normal. This is the main storyline for the entire server. There will always be people who want to slack off when they can't get any benefits." Tang Jia said carelessly.
The girls in the same group were chatting, and suddenly a comment from a player popped up in the Blood Alliance channel:
[Blood Alliance] No Medical Treatment for Living People: "Boss, are there any new tasks in Exile Town? I just saw a lot of people doing the Brick Moving Task in Exile Town, and I also saw Mingfeng Chunpu and Huanling doing it."
[Blood Alliance] Entropy does not increase: "Hmm??"
【Blood Alliance】Wonderful Writing: "Be more specific."
[Blood Alliance] No Medical Treatment for Living People: "Eh? Exactly, I saw Mingfeng Chunpu and Huanling doing the brick-moving mission in Exile Town, and there were also quite a few level 4 experts doing the brick-moving mission..."
Entropy does not increase and Miaobishenghua almost simultaneously posted the same sentence in the Blood Alliance channel: "Who is in Rob Town?? Have you seen Lahong?!"
