Chapter 2073: Chapter 692: Raiders of the Lost Treasure
After returning to the battlefield and seeing the reduced level of spiritual energy interference at Blackfla Mountain Pass, Murphy promptly assigned a choice mission to his players.
Although the mission was nad “Choice,” a closer look at its contents revealed that Murphy never intended for the players to escape.
The collaboration between the Jackal-n and the Dusk was about to overturn Blackfla Mountain Pass. If they didn’t leave behind a “farewell gift,” neither Murphy nor Lord Hether would be satisfied.
In such a scenario, a large Star-world Tear covering the entire pass beca an option.
What made Murphy feel gratified was that Old Qin and Happy Stick sohow intuitively understood the essence of this “explosive ending,” showing once again that heroes think alike. Of course, this also highlighted the ferociousness and madness of the Transia Barbarians.
You overturned my territory, so let’s all stop playing!
The mont to flip the table has co!
However, before playing the Star-world Tear card at this final mont, Murphy consulted his most formidable girlfriend.
Triss advised him to enhance the power of the Star-world Tear as much as possible. This would not only effectively damage the Split-claw Jackal-n but also create post-disaster conditions at Blackfla Mountain Pass similar to those at Cardman City.
Even the hardy Jackal-n can’t charge into an area covered with corrupt energy. Before the “environntal pollution” caused by the Star-world Tear dissipates, the Split Claw clan’s army will be halted outside the pass.
In this way, not only could they avenge the downfall of Blackfla Mountain Pass, but also buy more ti for the second line of defense at Shadow Valley. Based on Cardman City’s experience, this “ceasefire period” would last at least a week, at most half a month.
This was indeed a highly appropriate choice.
However, Murphy’s choice mission did not hide the danger involved. Two lost Nocturne Barrier Core Crystals lay beneath the feet of tens of thousands of Ard Gnolls, pesky Ratn, and roaming Jackal-Man Elites. For an exploration team of just five hundred people to retrieve them was almost an impossible task.
Sacrifice…
This was rely the basic condition players had to et when executing this strategy.
“Perhaps I should give them so assistance?”
While assisting Lord Hether’s troops in retreating to the rear position, Murphy pondered for a mont and called Adel over, asking:
“How many aerial bombs are left for Shadow Valley?”
“24 units, Master.”
Adel imdiately replied:
“Not enough for a bombardnt sweep over any particular position, but considering the current defensive strength and morale at Position Eight, we don’t really need them there. The large-scale evacuation has begun; perhaps they could be used to intercept the enemy at the last mont?”
“No, they have a better use.”
Through the Core Bead, Murphy sensed the location of those 500 players who accepted the choice mission and were advancing towards the ruins of Position Three. He said:
“Personally lead a team of elite vampires carrying aerial bombs to the vicinity of Position Three. There’s a group of players there. If they can find the lost Core Crystals, use the aerial bombs to cover their retreat.
If they can’t find them and perish there, take the bombs to the Fortress of Courage. Once I finish everything here, I will head over as well.
We’ll launch the final counterattack against the Split Claw clan there.”
“Hmm? Do you an a Star-world Tear?”
Adel, who had once been Murphy’s subordinate, quickly guessed the Governor’s intentions.
Murphy nodded without providing much explanation, but the Intelligence Officer no longer needed mission details. She took imdiate action, and shortly after, a squad of elite vampires soared into the night sky.
This was the last support Murphy could provide to the players still active in the ruins at the frontline, as he still had significant tasks to complete at the rear position.
The story of Blackfla Mountain Pass had reached a conclusion, and next, it was ti for the Transia People to step onto the stage of the Black Disaster, playing the role of a belligerent and brutal “Savior.”
On the other side, on the ruins of the first three defensive lines, ow Brother, who was leading people on a “stealth” mission, saw the prompt from the expert Adventure Assistant.
He blinked and said in the newly reorganized team communication:
“Sir Murphy has sent supporters for us, brothers. As long as we find the Barrier Stone smoothly, the Vampire Air Troops will drop aerial bombs to support our retreat. Old Stick and Lord Qin have marked for us the location of the Ratman Tunnel leading to the Fortress of Courage. Now, the rest is simple.
We charge forward, find the crystal, and then retreat!”
“If only it were as simple as you say.”
The newbies “Monkey” and “Xugou” from the “Twelve Zodiac” brothers each carried a steel helt, following the veteran players under the cover of darkness and ruins. The pressure from the ard Gnolls wandering around was imnse.
Even though these guys weren’t particularly challenging for a newbie, the numbers were a terrifying factor.
Once they were alerted, they would surely face a wave of intense battles.
However, there was also so good news.
“Brother ow, look at those Ratn… they seem to be retreating! They’re taking along a lot of stuff they captured from the positions, just like bandits who have successfully looted.”
