My players are so fierce

Chapter 797 796. Professor Malcolm’s Secret Report - New Year’s Update [2930]

"What do you mean the Brass Fortress cannot be defended?"

The elves of Castile were generous. Murphy had previously made a request to get back the Holy Blades of Avalon that they had collected. As a result, thirty Holy Blades were immediately delivered. With these things, Transia The future development of the Temple of Avalon will definitely be smooth sailing.

But compared to these gifts, Murphy was more concerned about the request that Dames just said.

The vampire lord frowned and said:

"Isn't that place blocked? The news I got is that the brass dwarves are still resisting. Not only did the jackals fail to attack, but some of their own tunnels were also occupied by the dwarves. Could it be that things are going to happen again?"

"I don't know the specific situation very well."

Captain Dames shook his head and said:

"I did not go to the battlefield at Gorgon Pass. That place was blocked by the power of subspace, and no one in it could leave freely. However, thanks to the Atlanteans' Storm Rippers, they have begun to exert their power. Let some of that information finally get through.

This is the message from our Ranger General.

She determined that the Brass Fortress would fall completely in the near future, and she was preparing to break out with the trapped rangers.

The Gorgon Pass is not accessible. Once the Brass Fortress is defeated, the place will be completely occupied by the Jackals in an instant. The Ranger General can only retreat in the direction of Transia. To be precise, take the route of the Hungry Plains to the Black Flame. Yamaguchi.

I informed the general of the location of Fort Courage, and I guessed that would be General Philosil's final resting place. "

"Well, I understand."

Murphy glanced at the thirty holy blades on the table. The attraction of this thing at this moment was no longer enough. The Governor narrowed his eyes and said:

"So, your ranger general hopes that the defenders of Fort Courage will go to meet them, right? This is too difficult! This means that the soldiers of Fort Courage need to penetrate the entire Hungry Plains to reach your people.

But if we really had such power, we wouldn't be suppressed and beaten by Xu Gesen and the jackals from two clans.

With all due respect, you guys are just being crazy!

If we really want to implement this plan, it means that we have to give up the defense of Fort Courage, and even have to prepare for the serious consequences of losing most of our army. Now I finally understand why people on the mainland don't like you elves.

Let Transia bleed at this critical moment just to save your Ranger General.

This calculation is a little too loud! "

Faced with Murphy's rebuttal, Captain Dames had nothing to say.

Because of this fact, the Ranger General's request was indeed a bit too much, but he could not let his people be trapped and die in the Gorgon Pass where the situation was becoming increasingly critical.

But before the senior captain could speak, the elf priest sitting in the room wearing moon-white robes said in a cold tone:

"The Kingdom of Castile has 89 collected Holy Blades of Avalon. King Querion has made it clear that he can donate all these precious objects to the Church of Avalon in Transia. We will also assist Avalon. The church reshapes institutions and beliefs.

In addition, the Elf Kingdom will provide Transia with a batch of supplies for the war and a large interest-free loan to help you get through this war. "

"So, this is life money for the ranger general, right?"

Murphy suddenly understood.

He said:

"I heard that Ms. Philosil is King Querion's only sister? What? In the eyes of the Elf King, is his sister worth such a small thing?"

This rhetorical question directly confused the Moon Priest.

No, you are also a lord and governor after all. Is it really okay to speak so directly?

At the critical moment, Captain Dames reacted quickly. He heard the implication from Murphy that this matter was not something that could not be discussed, so the captain gave the priest a wink and let him take over the rest of the conversation. This cold elf with an eye patch Open your mouth and say:

"Of course we can give more in exchange for the survival of the Ranger General and the expeditionary force, but you must take action, Your Excellency the Governor."

"You want me to dispatch the defenders of Fort Courage to respond, but that's impossible!"

Murphy shook his head and said:

"The breakout can only be handled by your ranger generals themselves, but don't worry, I have a compromise. Get the map of Gorgon Pass!"

Captain Dames immediately pulled out a map and spread it out in front of Murphy's eyes.

The Governor glanced at him, and then activated the positioning mark on his Farstrider protective gear. Then, based on comparison, he drew a circle at a certain location outside the Gorgon Pass and explained the specific location. .

He said to the two elves:

"There is a thousand-year-old ruins in the mountains here. Don't ask me how I know it. In short, let your ranger general lead people here, but don't go deep after you find it!

It was a dangerous military zone in the last era. I am certain that there are still some creations from the Golden Era active there. It is precisely because of their activities that the place has been hidden for thousands of years and has not been found. This means that there is a defense force there. .

Find this ruin!

Hide inside and wait for our support.

As long as they can get here smoothly, I'm sure I can rescue them. "

Captain Dames and the Moon Priest looked at each other, and after a few seconds, he asked:

"Are you sure about this news? Please forgive me for being cautious, but after all, this is related to the lives of thousands of rangers and a forest prince. Once something happens to them"

"Do you think I would joke about something like this that could lead to a breakdown in the relationship between Transia and the Elf Kingdom if it's not done right?"

Murphy glanced at Captain Dames, and while putting the weapon boxes containing the holy blades into his special psychic bag, he said:

"Hurry up and send the message for them to find. Time waits for no one, but remember my warning! Don't try to search inside before I arrive. It's really dangerous there. If there are casualties due to your reckless actions, then I will Don’t take this responsibility.”

"You should at least tell me the name of that ruin, right?"

Captain Dames asked finally. Murphy shrugged and said:

"The ruins of the 'Farstrider Headquarters', that's its name. Can you send things into the Gorgon Pass now?"

"Okay, but not too much."

The Moon Priest, who had a holy appearance and a pretty good figure, explained:

"The Shark Storm Rippers in the Great Reef Province are trying to destroy the subspace force field covering the Gorgon Pass, but that will take time. The several paths that have been opened can only allow a single person to pass through, and there is a risk of getting lost. .

We sent seven people, but only three came back successfully. "

"Okay, wait for me at Scarlet Castle. I will prepare a set of identification weapons and send them to your Ranger General. This thing will prevent her and her soldiers from being attacked by the creations of the Golden Age. As for the Elf Kingdom's treatment of Tran Regarding West Asia's aid and interest-free loans, you can go to the Archon Miriam to negotiate, and I will not intervene."

Murphy made a promise, exchanged a few words and left the cabin.

As he walked towards the cabin where Professor Malcolm was, he activated quantum communication and said to Tris:

"My dear, please go to the exhibition hall, pick up a set of Farstrider protective gear and pack it up. I will use it later."

"Um?"

Tris immediately asked:

"What? Did you encounter a new 'random event' again?"

Murphy described the Ranger General story to Tris. The Scarlet Witch thought for a moment and said:

"But isn't the Farstrider headquarters the treasure you have predetermined? Is it really okay to leak it to those elves like this? What if they find those things before us? Isn't this a waste of water?"

"They can't do it."

Murphy said confidently:

"My collaborator Mannis has been secretly asking me to go to the Land of Creation to find creation energy for it. The ruins of the company are the places we have agreed to go to before. If the elves take the lead, then Mannis will unlock the seal. Hopes dimmed a bit.

Therefore, in this matter, the Endless One will be very willing to help us keep an eye on those elves.

It will take time for them to find the place, so we use them as free labor to help us locate the specific location. After the subspace force field at Gorgon Pass is destroyed, we will gather our troops and go there in person.

Go quickly and come back quickly, don't waste time.

If the Farstrider Company's weapons arsenal can be found, then the Maginot Line's defense will have one more chance of victory. "

"Okay, since you are sure, I won't say anything. I will prepare what you need."

Tris responded and cut off the communication, which made Murphy lament that having a reliable wife is the happiest thing for a man. With this thought, he stretched out his finger and knocked on the hatch in front of him. After a few seconds, Then the door opened, and Professor Malcolm's haggard face appeared in front of Murphy.

"How did you get yourself into this?"

Murphy said in surprise:

"You look twenty years older all of a sudden!"

"Ah, how difficult the world is. I also wonder about the relationship between stress and gray hair, but this situation always reminds me of the general in the history of the aliens."

Professor Malcolm sighed and invited the lord into his cabin.

He had it filled with information, and he was preparing a report to be submitted to the Scarlet Archon and the Administration.

Professor Malcolm, who was appointed as the ambassador, will not stay long in Transia this time. In three days, he will set off to return to Port Chardeau. His wife, children and students are still there.

"Then let's make a long story short."

Murphy saw that the professor was so tired and did not waste time on pleasantries. He said:

"When you arrive at Scarlet Castle, you must go to the Temple of Avalon and let the priests perform a requiem ceremony for you. Your stress and fatigue will be visible to the naked eye. I don't want an important person like you to suffer from work-related matters. Health damage.”

"I'll get there, but I have to finish this debriefing first, which is important to us and everyone in the war."

The professor took a sip of coffee to wake himself up.

He picked up his diary, flipped through it, rubbed his eyebrows and said to Murphy:

"You should have talked to Captain Paula, but what I want to tell you is that the situation in Port Chardeau has deteriorated far faster than you imagine. Before the scourge of the Jackals arrived, the bustling city had already fallen into In self-panic.

The unstable aspect of halfling characters is completely released in the face of this pressure.

Before I came back, there were already more than a dozen gangs in the city. They occupied the sewers and part of the lower city of Port Chardeau, and were confronting the forces loyal to the Steam Lord.

The frightened ones asked the Steam Lords Council to open the ports and airspace in the hope of escaping the city before the war came. "

This report made Murphy frown.

he asked:

"Has the chaos reached this level? But Paula told me that the Steam Lords are gathering troops to prepare to defend their cities with force. Isn't there already military control there? Although the halflings are politically naive, they will never be at this stage. Are you still merciful?"

"They are very decisive, believe me, Lord."

The professor sighed and said:

"Every gang that appears will be wiped out, but the problem is that the halflings were protected too well by the brass dwarves before. Now they suddenly lose the security services provided by the brass dwarves and are told that they may have to face the Jackal Black Disaster. Those halflings The little guys fell into a strong sense of crisis.

Their special personalities and civilized ways have caused this sense of crisis to be infinitely amplified, and the steam lords' vigorous enforcement of martial law has further aggravated this uneasiness.

I now very much doubt that in addition to the Witch Cafe, there are other forces of Dusk in Shardau Port. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the city would become so chaotic in such a short period of time.

The panicked people were incited and marched through the streets.

They shouted slogans, but to be honest, I don't think they knew what they wanted. They were simply venting their dissatisfaction caused by fear.

Every march will end in a big riot, even the Chardeau Artisan University has been affected. I suggest that we should send our children to a safe place as soon as possible. The current situation in Port Chardeau makes me feel very bad.

There seemed to be an invisible vortex forming there.

The gnolls were only one aspect. Even if the black disaster did not come, if the halflings were allowed to continue to mess around like this, they would destroy themselves sooner or later. "

"Why does this sound so familiar? The color revolution thing?"

Murphy muttered in his heart and thought for a few seconds before saying to the professor:

"Based on your knowledge, do you think that if the Jackals really cross the Gorgon Pass and attack Port Shardau, do the Halflings be able to defend it?"

"It's impossible to rely on them! The Halflings don't have a real army at all. The Thieves Guild and the Mechanics Guild can only be auxiliaries. Without an army, they can't resist the Jackals."

Professor Malcolm said decisively:

"Halflings are not good at force either, but before I left, I had confirmed that the Songhai people would send a sun ship to support them, and the Elf Kingdom of Castile also intended to send the mighty Amastasia fleet to enter. Port Chardeau.

With the support of these two forces, the halfling city will not fall, but the entire Sherdor Peninsula will definitely be severely poisoned.

That place had escaped four black disasters and was the most prosperous and affluent place on the continent. It was simply a disaster. But now it seems that the fall of the Brass Fortress is only a matter of time, which means that the Chardeau Peninsula is the most prosperous place in the world. A terrible disaster is about to happen. "

"Yes, it is consistent with the elves' judgment."

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:

"So, based on your consideration, how should we obtain our share of benefits from this inevitable event?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Professor Malcolm said softly:

"Perhaps now, we should open the border of Lake Sulpus and absorb the panicked residents of the Chardo Peninsula into Transia. They are really afraid, and that kind of fear does not need to be exaggerated. Anyone who has read The Black Disaster Anyone who knows the history knows what kind of disaster they are about to face.

The upper class and the wealthy can flee to safer places, but what about the lower classes?

Those poor people have nowhere to go!

Apart from staying on the Chardo Peninsula to wait for death, they could only go north along the railway that ran through the peninsula, either into the Cato region or into Transia. "

"But you can't go to Cato, it's very dangerous."

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said in a subtle and long voice:

"So, for the sake of the lives of those poor people, let's let them enter the arms of Transia. I guess the Batasin Chamber of Commerce has made some preparations for this?"

"Well, Ms. Palian is really capable and sharp. The business representatives she has sent have spread to various cities in the Chardeau Peninsula. We only need you to issue an administrative order and we can start organizing the relocation."

The professor said:

"But I guess King Louis will not miss this good opportunity. The Sun King will only see the situation more clearly that I can see. I suspect that the Cato area is also ready to accept the refugees. This In this regard, they have natural advantages.

After all, the Cato region will not be directly threatened by the Black Disaster, while Transia is facing the Black Disaster. "

"Don't be afraid, we also have advantages."

Murphy waved his hands and said:

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to meet with our dear Archduke Edward. The Wolfsbane Clan is expanding its power in the Cato region. So many immigrants are coming in at this juncture. Isn't this going to hinder the cause of the Wolfsbane Clan? ?

We are all vampires and should help each other.

Although the relationship between Blood Vulture and Wolfsbane has been very ordinary in the past few hundred years, I guess Old Edward will give me this face. "
