BXBX NOVEL Chapter 267:
Chapter 267:
But after the completion of the Blood Vulture Clan’s first racial mainline quest, the return of over 100 players who were sent back to the respawn point by the frenzied Wolfsbane vampires raised the forum’s liveliness to another level.
In the main game group created by administrator Alpha, everyone was discussing this matter.
Meow King: 【Damn! Are your mouths all machine guns? It’s been such a short time, and it’s already 999+, every day it’s 999+, don’t you all have jobs?】
Bursting Belly: 【Work work, what the hell is work! I’ve already quit my job, now I’m curled up in my house playing games every day, except for three meals and toilet breaks, I wish I could spend 24 hours a day in Transia.
They need me here!
Lord Murphy’s cause needs me!
Feel You Poor’s manticore also needs me! I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but that dog thing’s palate seems to be getting more picky lately.】
Sister Pomegranate Uproots The Weeping Willows: 【@Like A Tiger Can Edge Wood, don’t you dare go farm gnoll points while I’m dead, you need to show some chivalry, understand?】Like A Tiger Can Edge Wood: 【OK, I’m resting right now, this battle was too exhausting.
I didn’t have a clear understanding of the vampire clan’s strength before, always thought vampires were a marginal civilization on the continent, but after fighting with the elite of a faction under the Wolfsbane clan, I realized that I might have underestimated the blood clans.
I don’t know about other clans, but just the combat power of Wolfsbane, if these 300 people were thrown into a pile of gnolls, they could probably take out several thousand gnoll barbarians in one night.
Their combat power under Night’s Blessing is too exaggerated.】
Leading Pigeon: 【Who says it’s not? Good pigeon finally got a Wolfsbane down to low health, and guess what? They immediately transformed into their second form!
That ghost wolf bat pounced on me and took away 80% of my health with three claws, in comparison, our Blood Vulture is too weak, just a pair of wings that look cool but are completely useless in battle.】
Lumina Yanghen: 【If you’re bad, just admit it, don’t blame it on the race!
I saw Lord Murphy and Miss Femis killing Wolfsbane warriors like chickens, Lord Kudel could even go on a rampage among a group of Wolfsbane, how come it doesn’t work for you?】
Leading Pigeon: 【How can the templates used by us players be the same as NPCs? The talents we got are the monkey version, okay?】
Onboard Joy Stick: 【It’s obviously focused differently, the Wolfsbane template is clearly for warriors, Blood Vulture is for hunters, Blood Pact clan is for charging cavalry, Thorn clan is for assassins, the Secret Blood clan that hasn’t appeared in the plot yet should be for Spirit Mages, and the Blood Dread clan is probably for hunters.
The last Mad Blood clan is hard to define, but since they could be sealed away by their own people, I think they must not be good guys either.
I think when these seven vampire clans are combined, they form a fully equipped army, probably due to gameplay reasons, the developers separated them.
It’s a real pity.
If I had well-coordinated seven-clan vampire warriors under my command, I could damn well fight through the entire continent! Conquer a vast territory for Lord Murphy】
Half Off With Full Coverage: 【Hehe, dreams are free, go to sleep, Brother Stick, I just saw how miserably you died this time.
Your head was bitten off.】
Shrimp Catcher: 【What’s going on? How come I haven’t even entered the game yet, and you guys have already finished the first chapter of the racial main quest?
Damn!
Can’t you guys slow down a bit when pushing the plot?
Don’t hog all the good stuff, good brothers, can’t you leave some for us?】
Fatal Orchid Huahua: 【The faster we push the plot, the sooner you’ll have a chance to enter the game, little brother. Now it’s basically confirmed that the player quota is related to the population under Lord Murphy’s rule.
Lady Aqua even made a formula】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【That’s right, I’ve calculated the current population of Count of Kadman’s domain and the number of players, it’s basically a 1:100 ratio.
If I’m not mistaken, the subsequent release of player quotas will also be adjusted according to this ratio.
I guess this should be some kind of hint from the developers.】
Border Town Wanderer: 【Sister Aqua, tell us more about this hint.】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Sister??? I’m 35 years old.】
Border Town Wanderer: 【Isn’t that just right? Big brother here is 45, it’s appropriate for me to call you sister, right?】
Spicy Gugu Chicken: 【@Dump Truck Iaido, Dump Truck brother! Come quick, your record for the oldest player is about to be broken! Oh no.】
Dump Truck Iaido: 【Nonsense, have you forgotten about Professor Chen? He’s the oldest player, okay? When Wanderer brother comes in, he’ll still be complimented for being a young man in good shape.】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【The target audience of this game is so weird, how come there are so many older brothers? Alright, alright, I’ll tell you my guess.
The developers probably want to remind players that population is an important resource in the early stages of this game.
Especially for Transia’s current situation, Lord Murphy wants to establish stable rule, and our main quest chapter one clearly indicated this point. Only with enough population can a series of policies be implemented, and Transia’s reconstruction can improve daily life.
There’s also the threat of the Black Disaster.】
Master Ziwei: 【Excuse my ignorance, what is the Black Disaster?】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Uh, a world event, I guess it will refresh soon, probably similar to a monster siege? Anyway, if Transia’s population doesn’t reach a certain number, I estimate we definitely won’t survive this big event.
Therefore, the developers linked the territory’s population with the number of players, to create a hidden constraint, that is, players can’t achieve certain goals through some less humane methods like in other games.
To put it simply, if players want to have a good gaming experience, then in this game they have to pay attention to maintaining Transia’s population.
Even actively help Lord Murphy expand the population.】
Mustard Madman: 【Sounds reasonable, these developers are talented, actually secretly burying such rule settings that are very similar to the real world.
But I still have to ask, when will the helmets be distributed?
I can’t wait to offer my heart to Lord Murphy!】
Legendary Hero: 【@Honorary Knight Typal, Sir Typal, the Torrent Knights have arrived as invited! We are fully equipped and ready to depart through the otherworld gate to Transia to assist in your ongoing endeavors. I am the vanguard sent by the knight order, responsible for liaising with you.】
Honorary Knight Typal: 【Very good, Private Hero, at ease! I have been appointed by Lord Murphy, the governor of Transia, and am about to prepare a landing point for our Torrent Knight comrades. I will wait here for everyone’s arrival. This continent is full of unsettling warfare.
It needs us!】
Legendary Hero: 【Yes, sir! The Torrent Knights will not disappoint, we will protect the weak and spread order. We firmly believe that the glory of Torrent Castle will be sung across this otherworldly land.】
Life Is Pretty Good: 【??? What’s going on? Have otherworldly people infiltrated the forum? Why do you talk like this?】
Lumina Yanghen: 【It’s RP! Don’t you understand? These are all deep RP parties. But I heard you call yourselves the ‘Torrent Knights’? @Honorary Knight Typal @Legendary Hero, come give us a password, Golden Plains?】
Honorary Knight Typal: 【!!! I didn’t expect Miss Yanghen to also be from the same world as us. May I ask about your hometown and team?】
Lumina Yanghen: 【Lumina Yanghen! Quel’Thalas Sunreaver Fleet Special Lieutenant, Dawn Blade Knight Order Vanguard Commander! I salute you, Sir Typal. We once fought side by side in the battle to reclaim South Sea Town, that was ten years ago.】
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche: 【Damn! Sister Lumina has found her group. Speaking of which, Cheche also has a little troll rogue, but I forgot the name.】
Precipitation Niuniu Is Not Afraid of Difficulties: 【Holy shit! New feature unlocked! Guys, I just turned in a Wolfsbane heart to Lady Adele, and she noted me to go learn the technique of ‘strength extraction’ from Lady Tris.
We vampire players can now extract skills from vampire hearts! But you must reach the clan title of ‘knight’ or above to do so.
Little Ashina got a skill to summon an Astral Wolf!
I just saw it, it’s so freaking cool.】
Multi-Turret Chief Disciple: 【What? Vampires got buffed again? How are other races supposed to play now? Damn, I want to complain about this behavior!
Are the developers balancing with their feet?】
Meteor Big Brother: 【What are you complaining about, you don’t even have a helmet yet, just satisfy your curiosity, brother. It’s fine if you deceive us, but don’t deceive yourself.】
Bricklayer: 【Breaking news! Old Chen just accepted a quest, Baroness Miriam asked Old Chen and us two brothers to design a large farm that can accommodate at least 6,000 people.
According to reliable information accidentally revealed by the little sister in the administration, 6,000 armed blood servants released by the Kingdom of Nordtov will be sent back to Transia within half a month!
Great news, brothers! According to Lady Aqua’s formula, this means at least 60 slots will open up! You’ll be able to enter the game in at most half a month!】
Shrimp Catcher: 【Damn! Awesome!】
Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【That’s not all, this is just phase one. The Goldflower Kingdom is still holding 10,000 of our blood servant prisoners, if they’re all sent back, there will be 160 game slots, and the number of players will double.】
Honest Dog Egg: 【Then what are you waiting for? Go push the plot quickly! I’ve been waiting so long I’m growing hair, hurry up! Don’t slack off.】
Ah Yuen: 【? @Honest Dog Egg, Damn, how did you get in here too? Who brought you in? Um, the counselor has been asking us to contact you, saying that if you don’t come to class this semester, your student status will be cancelled.
Brother, I mean, why don’t you come back for a few classes? Learning something won’t really kill you, right?】
Honest Dog Egg: 【Classes my ass! Those teachers don’t know as much as I do, what use is that graduation certificate, I have three offers in my hand right now, but I’m just not going, heh, I’m just playing.】
Ah Yuen: 【Brother Dog Egg is awesome! As expected of the legend from the Finance Department. By the way, what about your girlfriend from the Art Department? Are you still together?】
Honest Dog Egg: 【Broke up long ago.
That woman had no sense, I was busy doing math, and she came whining and moaning, it was so annoying. She thought she was fun, but can she be more fun than math?】
Everyone: 【.Awesome!】
Medical Insurance Warrior Great Sion: 【Brothers, stop chatting! A big event is coming, the gnolls have crossed the Kadman River and are heading our way! They’re going to attack the city.】
Everyone: 【Holy shit?】
——
Medical Insurance Warrior Great Sion posted several pictures on the forum, which he had just taken.
This lucky little player who escaped death has been busy recording footage for the past few days, and now he’s basically done. He plans to edit a segment of the Wolfsbane raid into his video as well.
He was out to capture the dawn scenery, riding his horse leisurely near the Kadman River.
The scenery here is the best.
However, before he could start recording, he saw a mass of black moving objects surging towards him in the pre-dawn darkness.
The warhorse under Great Sion’s thighs began to neigh uneasily, while he himself took out a brass telescope to observe in the night.
This look almost scared the little player senseless.
Dense swarms of gnoll vanguards riding dire wolves were crossing the Kadman River. Among them, kobold geomancers used crude earth spirit techniques to build temporary bridges on the river surface for these fellows, and the gnolls, packed tightly together, were howling as they quickly crossed.
These savage creatures were not peaceful even while advancing. Great Sion could even see them pushing and shoving each other, throwing many gnolls into the rushing river water.
From his perspective, he could vaguely see this rolling “black turbid flow” extending to the limit of his vision.
“How many people are there? There must be tens of thousands, right? Damn, is this the legendary monster siege?”
Great Sion’s first reaction was not to run, but to adjust his angle to record this unimaginable scene. He wanted to add this to his video.
Such a wild and primitive advance is rarely seen in other games, and the absolutely real perspective recording of such a large-scale monster migration adds an indescribable horror and momentum to this scene!
This is not fake at all, look at these gnolls rolling in like a black tide, look at their fierce and frenzied momentum.
This is real!
While Great Sion was frantically filming, at the original location of the gnoll camp, Warlord Kenport was looking at the animal skin map laid out before him. Its fierce gaze focused on the location of the Crimson Citadel.
Behind it, a dozen Transia gnoll clan commanders from its legion were bowing and listening to orders.
“That fool Korando got what he wanted and died on the land he desired to obtain. He’s already buried there. Although I hated him, I have to admit that his pursuit of ambition is worth learning from.
He and his wolf pups’ failure is an excellent opportunity for us. I believe in the combat power of those mad wolves, even if they die, they will bite a big chunk of flesh from the Blood Vulture Clan.
Murphy’s elites have suffered heavy losses, and his so-called soldiers and militia can’t stop our all-out army, it doesn’t even need me to take action personally.”
Kenport let out a shrill and arrogant laugh.
It turned to face its subordinate generals and roared:
“I will stay in the main camp with my elites. The gnolls of Transia will conquer that weak city for us! They want to build a defense line here to resist the Black Disaster, but they can only dream.
The legendary fear of the Gnawbone King will be remembered by the continent again after one hundred and ten years, and after destroying the Crimson Citadel and letting the pups feast, our next target will be Cato!
We are the vanguard of the Black Disaster! We are the servants of destruction!
The Black Disaster has not arrived, but we have.
Let the vampires die!
This land will belong to the gnolls!
This time!
This time it won’t be taken away so easily, and I, Kenport, I will become the true King of Transia!”
