Group sequence 003 “Land of Rotting Corpses” advance reservation_2 Seeing Hog’s timid and stubborn deanor, La Claw was infuriated, but in order to persuade this coward to help, its oddly unfocused eyes swiveled, and it said in a tone full of bad luck,
“I have ‘Underworld Knights’ that I can lend you to ensure your safety, and I’ve never seen soone as cowardly as you during my travels across the entire Dark Mountain Range!”
“Not one is enough!
Those Witch Hunters are fierce.”
Hog instantly scread,
“2…”
“We need more, afterward we’ll split it fifty-fifty, and I can even consider returning Kenbort’s head to it, since it’s for an experint, the more intact the corpse the better, right?”
Murphy’s voice tily arose, pausing Hog, then, after a cough, he said,
“20!
At least a squad of 20 ‘Underworld Knights’ escorting before I dare go tomb raiding in the ferocious Vampire’s territory, but I’m not asking for this for free—I could also bring back the corpses of Kenbort’s guards enhanced with Priest’s secret techniques.
And you’ve also seen!
I’m a formidable Jackal and Wolf thief, if you can provide a bit of safety, I might even venture to steal Kenbort’s head hanging on the gates of the Crimson Castle for you!
Aren’t you conducting experints?”
Hog whispered enticingly,
“Look, although I don’t really understand the knowledge of Plague Warlocks, I guess if the corpse lacks a head, the quality of the finished product would also be greatly reduced, right?
Can a master corpse constructor like you allow such a big flaw in your work?”
“Uh…”
La Claw was montarily hesitant.
It could feel that Hog was taking advantage of it.
But the problem was its crazed brain couldn’t perform proper and serious thinking, hence after a few seconds of chaotic contemplation, it said,
“But I only have 7 ‘Underworld Knights’, that’s all I can hold back without being discovered, any more would be impossible, Tear Flesh has gotten old!
It’s becoming more suspicious every day, feeling that soone wants to harm it and take its position, making it increasingly dangerous…
I’ve already made a mistake…
I can’t afford to make another.”
“7 will do, though just barely.”
Hog made a slightly unsatisfied expression, but inside he was overjoyed.
These were ‘Underworld Knights’ after all!
Although he himself did not know what these individuals were capable of or how formidable they were, just by hearing the job title, one knew these were not ordinary creatures.
He said,
“Get them to , and I’ll bring you everything you need within seven days!
I’m going all in, even if it ans gambling my entire Clan for the friendship with Lord La Claw.”
“Seven days!
Haha, that’s fantastic, I love this efficiency!”
La Claw too got excited.
Rubbing its claws that were missing several fingers, it excitedly said,
“I’ll imdiately prepare the experintal platform, get those lazy ‘Necromancers’ moving, my capable good brothers in Transylvania, as soon as you bring what I need, I’ll start right away!”
“Ask if he can choose the ‘Underworld Knights’ himself.”
Murphy reminded Hog in his mind,
“Find an ‘Underworld Knight’ nad Bernice and bring her out, I will send soone to your lair to receive her and bring Kenbort’s head to you.
But if that’s not possible, don’t force it, to avoid alerting other Magicians.
This La Claw is a ‘talent,’ Hog, pay close attention to it, its unstable mind with ‘proper guidance’ could even beco a war asset for your Blood Claw Clan!”

“Buzz”
The vibration of Spiritual Energy dissipated in the office of the Scarlet Corridor, signifying the interruption of the remote surveillance Art System.
Murphy rubbed his eyes to accustom himself to the returned vision and leaned back in his chair, pondering what he had just seen and heard through Hog’s eyes.
In front of him, He Lu had already prepared paper and pen, ready to map out the terrain of the Plague Town with information Hog would soon transmit through the Calculating Pearl to prepare for the upcoming raid.
Murphy waved his hand, indicating that He Lu should step out and co back later, and the keen Scout imdiately turned and left, not disturbing the Lord and Duke’s upcoming confidential discussion.
“This is tricky.”
The Vampire Lord murmured,
“Just in that Construct Tower alone, there are thousands of undead creatures being transford, not to ntion the ‘Necromancers’ and Skeleton Army enhanced by the Pestilence Clan using Death Psychic Power.
Bella said there were at least 40 ‘Necromancers’ and ‘Underworld Knights’ there, and now it seems they have produced even more, the remaining number is still considerable, even if Hog manages to take out 7.
Plus, with the Pestilence Clan’s Magicians serving as Spiritual Energy attackers, and two abandoned Mage Towers as the defensive core.
Whether in terms of quantity, quality, or terrain, the threat of the town controlled by the Pestilence Clan is far higher than the Jackal army rallied by Kenbort.
But on the other hand, as the final large-scale dungeon of the closed-beta test, it’s quite suitable!”
Murphy stood and paced back and forth under Cui Si’s watchful eyes, in an odd “Developnt Team’s ecstasy” posture, his eyes gleaming as he muttered,
“The elite Skeleton Army and ‘Necromancers’ outside of Plague Town and ‘Underworld Knights’ as patrolling minions are already fully adequate, and the gatekeeping BOSS will inevitably be encountered entering the town: the vanguard Barbarian Soldiers of the Bonebite Clan and that Guard Captain whom Hog humiliated!”
