My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1409: The interlude of the great expedition: the dark night of the foggy city is quiet
No one knew how Lord Paying convinced King Louis. Anyway, when the star-famous "Truitan Logistics" sent a large group of people to the outer city area of ​​the Fog City, no city defense psychic from the Fog City came to disrupt the situation. It was as if the whole city was sleeping in the quiet night with drizzle.

This is Murphy's first time in the foggy city.

The oncoming rain made him truly feel the climate of this place. Considering that the latitude and topography of Green Island are almost the same as the real Little Britain and Northern Ireland, the climate of the Fog City is not much different from there, which made Lumina complain as soon as she came.

"I was fed up with that shitty place when I was an exchange student in London!"

The bard looked at the wet ground with disgust and complained:

"Hopefully I can find something to eat here instead of revisiting the 'happy days' of fish and chips three times a day. I mean, let's just get this job done and get out of here, this place is really uncomfortable.

Especially when it’s foggy in the early morning after a rainy night, it can be so uncomfortable that you want to tear your skin off.”

“It’s not for us to decide.”

Xiao Weiming looked around helplessly, and she sighed with an inexplicable sadness and said:
"Ah, why is it a damn secret operation? Why can't I bring my Big Bear No. 2 here? I was counting on a cool appearance for my 'best friend' to save the scene. This time, we have to kill her crazy mother. Maybe Miss will be able to change her job to Batman after this."

"Well, leave the cool appearance to us, Little Potato, you'd better focus on the reconnaissance."

Several power armor knights following behind the crowd suddenly grinned evilly, and the angry Xiao Weiming wanted to draw his sword and carve ugly patterns on their beloved power armor to vent his anger.

Of course, despite the noise, the execution ability of these elite players is by no means underestimated. Within a few minutes of being teleported from the astral realm to the material world, they controlled the entire silent neighborhood in a standard combat formation. The Blood Vulture players flew quickly in the rainy night to conduct reconnaissance and take a look at the foggy night scene of this Victorian-style city.

This landing point was chosen by the "Gray Claw Twins" in the team.

Sisters Melia and Winnie were able to confirm that this neighborhood was once the contact base of the Gray Claw faction controlled by the Kolando family in the Fog City.

This place is also very close to the core territory of the Wolf Poison Clan, which makes it very convenient for them to take action here, but now is not the time to act.

It will take some time for Adele and Countess Laura to come over.

When the Wolfsbane Clan "split up" before, Count Laura's Black Mane faction was almost "driven" out of Greene Island. It would take time for her to gather her elite forces in the Cato area, but Murphy did not doubt the Count Wolfsbane's burning ambition to regain the territory.

She was the one handpicked by old Edward, and ambition was her virtue.

As long as Murphy and the players kill Lady Cecilia of the Wolf Vulture Clan in the dark night of the foggy city, the Black Mane Faction will be able to return to Greene Island and regain control of the dark area of ​​the island, so as to make the Wolf Poison Clan great again.
That's right!

This is the catchphrase that Count Laura always says, which makes Murphy wonder if the blonde, flat-chested, wolfsbane girl has a relative from another world who has the last name Chuan and wants to be president.

"Wait here until the Lord and Laura come and join us."

Murphy looked at the sky with drizzling rain in the manor where he landed, and said to the people around him:

"Our top priority right now is to find out where Old Edward is hiding after he was assassinated. Without the help of a local like him, it will be difficult for us to quickly lock onto our target.

However, old Edward was assassinated. After such a big thing happened, the night in the entire foggy city could still be so quiet. Tsk tsk, this makes me doubt whether the rumor that the midnight of Greeny Island is dominated by the Wolfsbane Clan is true.

Logically speaking, the wolfsbane cubs who were loyal to old Edward should have been engaged in bloody battles with Cecilia's traitors on every street in this city."

"You overestimate the power of the Wolfsbane Clan and underestimate King Louis' control over the country, Murphy."

Because she might witness the fall of a Wolfsbane Duke, Tris dressed up specially tonight and said with a curled lip:
"Gangsters can only show off their power in areas without order. Any monarch with a little courage and skill can easily suppress the gray industry in the country, not to mention that this is the capital under the nose of King Louis.

Even old Edward has to keep a low profile here, not to mention those wolf-poison cubs under his command.

They were all former criminals, thieves and pimps, the scum of the society's fringe. Even if they were accepted by Midnight, they would not be able to enter the house.

This may also be the reason why old Edward agreed to move the main force of the Wolfsbane Clan to the Cato area. Although he was not afraid of the court warriors under King Louis in terms of individual strength, from a group perspective, the Wolfsbane Clan did not have the strength to confront King Louis head-on.

You also know how the Old Guard performed against the Zerg in Anjou.

Although they are no match for the Transian People's Army, such a well-equipped and well-trained modern army can easily wipe out the thugs of the Wolf Poison Clan."

"The Wolfsbane Clan is not united either, Master Murphy."

Melia, who was blindfolded with a white cloth, also added softly:

"When my father was alive, his biggest worry was never from King Louis' greedy and serious officials, but from his fellow countrymen. There are many factions within the Wolfsbane Clan, and each faction has its own territory. We have put too much energy into internal fighting, which makes it difficult for us to unite.

Of course, Archduke Edward had absolute say, but he allowed this infighting to proceed.

He believes that such a harsh selection can restore the Wolfsbane Clan to its former glory as soon as possible. In the days before the "Wolf Disaster", the Wolfsbane Clan could fight against the combined forces of the Old Church and the Ring Tower on its own. However, now, we can only hide under the shadow of King Louis's glory and play house in the dark. "

"Alas, the wolf's disaster."

Cui Si stroked the little dragon in her arms and sighed:
“That was the war in which Salokdar was most likely to bury Old Edward. In order to completely defeat the Wolfsbane Clan, the Blood Eagle Clan chose to secretly cooperate with the Old Church at that time.

Unfortunately, Old Edward and his defeated troops eventually escaped the encirclement. After the decline of the Wolfsbane Clan, the Blood Eagle Clan was also regarded as a thorn in the side of the Old Church. The Winter Wolf Church also quietly joined the war. Finally, not many years after Old Edward was defeated, the Blood Eagle Clan also slowly declined.

They are truly a pair of rivals who love and hate each other, rising together and falling together. "

At this point, Trish glanced at Shani and said:
"If I remember correctly, Sophie also played a big role in it. Although I was 'dead' at that time, I still remember the funny scene when the Winter Wolf priests, led by the Thorn Clan, launched a surprise attack on the Blood Eagle Clan."

"You remembered wrong."

Shani said expressionlessly:

"When the attack on the Blood Eagle Clan was launched, Grand Duke Sophie had already died. The decision to cooperate with the church to strangle the Blood Eagle Clan was made by me personally. Unfortunately, the plan ultimately failed when the cooperation between the Old Church and the Winter Wolf Church broke down, and the Blood Eagle Clan also saved their lives."

"tsk"

Murphy listened to the shocking past of the three clans stabbing each other, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"If the vampires didn't fight among themselves, perhaps we would have dominated the world a long time ago, right?"

"You think too much, Murphy."

Lord Paying's voice rang out from the darkness. Following the sound of Aurora's horse hooves stepping on the stone slabs, the Lord turned over and dismounted, responding in a helpless voice:
"The vampire clans that lacked consensus have been fighting each other for thousands of years. It is impossible for them to unite. I tried my best to stop them, but I failed again and again. I even doubted whether vampires were really cursed to become 'eternal sinners'. To bleed each other dry and drag each other into hell is the only destiny of our race.

Countless compatriots sacrificed their lives in this meaningless internal struggle. They were given all kinds of beautiful names, but this cannot change the fact that we have been stupid for a thousand years.

It's time to end!

Let's find old Edward and put an end to this ugliness.

During these three nights, King Louis will turn his gaze away from the dark streets of the foggy city, and there will be no official interference in the midnight war of vampires, but it will only last for three days!"

"enough."

Murphy let out a long breath, turned around and said to Shani:
"Adele and the others are here too. Marcus' werewolves have been deployed to the other side of the city. Shani and Femis, get to work! You are responsible for finding Old Edward. The rest of you will follow different teams and strangle the vampires belonging to the Wolf Vulture faction in the city!
Every one of them has the blood of innocent people in Cadman City on their hands, so I don't want to hear any excuses from their mouths.

Go ahead.

Hunt freely until tomorrow morning."

"Lord Murphy! How can we distinguish who is the vampire from the Wolf Griffin faction?"

The giant shark who was called over to "join in the fun" asked casually:
"You can't ask before you kill someone."

"Are you stupid?"

Niu Niu, who was standing next to him, pushed the giant shark and said:
"Anyone who shoots at you is an enemy, just shoot them."

"It's not that extreme." Murphy shrugged, and under the gaze of the vampires, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, and the reflection of a blood river covering the foggy city spanned the rainy night.

The best part is that this is a symbol of vampires and only vampires can see it, so it won't cause panic among civilians.

"The dead of Wolfsbane, revive tonight!"

Murphy called out:
"I need you to become the hounds of the Midnight Twins and distinguish between enemies and friends for my warriors."

As his voice echoed, blood-colored raindrops mixed with the night rain and fell to the ground. In the rhythm of the blood, they transformed into the figures of Wolfsbane Clan members who had died in the past, some of whom were very familiar.

"Father!"

Melia's sister Winnie exclaimed.

She saw her father Kolando appear in the rain, and her brothers whom she didn't like also appeared one after another in this uneasy night.

Kolando, the "Count Gray Claw" who had been dead for a long time, turned around and gave his daughter a slightly stiff smile. Then he reached out and pushed his tall hat, and in the next moment he walked towards the street under the night. The players each picked up their weapons and followed the resurrected blood spirits into the hunting ground in the dark.

This scene happened to be seen by Ms. Laura, the "Countess Black Mane", who came here with Adele.

To be honest, the appearance of these wolfsbane undeads really scared her. This was the first time she saw real "vampire undeads". It also made her instantly understand what amazing power Murphy, as the only elect and symbol of faith of the Midnight Twins, possessed.

Therefore, when she saw Murphy reflected in the blood river, the flat-chested blonde girl, who was usually direct and strong, whispered with awe:

"I am confused, sir. Your power alone is enough to sweep through the Wolf Griffin faction and even the entire Fog City. Why did you bring so many people here?"

"Look what you said."

Murphy politely performed the complicated vampire etiquette to the Count of Wolfsbane whom he met for the first time. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"This is a revenge from Cadman City and the people of Transia, do you understand? Revenge always requires a sense of ritual. I invited the guests here to witness the end of a crazy woman who killed her husband with her own hands and sent 100,000 people to be buried with him.

Of course, Lady Cecilia would not die so easily.

I promise. "

"what!!!"

At the moment Murphy finished speaking, a scream from afar announced that the tranquility of the rainy night was completely broken, and the first wolf griffon cub hiding in the city was caught.

very nice.

The cat-and-mouse game builds to a climax from the very beginning, eliminating the boring exaggeration and opening, allowing this trial, which has been delayed for too long, to proceed smoothly.
-
"boom"

The balcony door of the official residence, which had been sealed for a long time, was opened.

Shani, wearing a black combat leather jacket and wielding combat claw blades, walked in. There was a small crown on her head. This was not a "gift" from Murphy, but just the necessary combat equipment given to her by Murphy.

This handmade item from Ms. Mosna, the astral forging general, is an upgraded version of the Crown of Thorns' mental power enhancement module, which can increase Shani's mental power to about seven times its strength. This is enough to enhance Shani's already exaggerated emotional ignition as the Grand Duke of Thorns from an auxiliary skill to a lethal level.

Because of the highly enhanced mental power, Xia Ni even condensed an invisible mental shield around her body, and like Murphy's Soul-stealing Edge protective gear, she could transform her mental power into a dangerous mental blade.

This also makes Shani closer to the concept of "invincible" in the field of assassins, but in front of the real ancients, Shani is still just a "junior" who is only a few hundred years old.

Within seconds of entering the dusty Marshal's residence, she realized she was being watched.

Well, as "prey".

"Sir Edward, are you here?"

Shani retreated to the entrance of the balcony and raised her hands to indicate that she was not a threat. A few seconds later, she saw a terrifying creature covered with black mane, like a bloodthirsty wolf bat, emerging from the materialized shadows with light steps that were completely different from its huge body.

Those ferocious eyes, full of animality yet still maintaining a trace of rationality, stared at Xia Ni, making her feel the urge to turn around and run away at this moment.

Damn it!

No one told her that after Old Edward completed the "Wild Incarnation" and entered the second form, he would actually have a passive skill similar to the "Aura of Fear"!

Every one of these ancient ones is a monster!

Shani was complaining wildly in her heart.

She could sense that the aura emitted by old Edward in wolf-bat form was extremely close to that of a demigod. Once such a monster got out of control in the Fog City, even a few dozen minutes would be enough to destroy most of the city.

But Shani also noticed that there was a hideous claw mark on old Edward's heart.

That was an unhealable injury, forcing Duke Wolfsbane to maintain his wolf-bat form with maximum self-healing ability in order to avoid death from excessive blood loss.

Judging from the shape of the hideous claw marks, Shani could basically determine that this was indeed the wound caused by the thorn relic "Fallen Virtue" that was lost eight hundred years ago. Only such a vampire weapon that only existed in legends could cause such terrible injuries to an ancient grand duke.

"You really have a sense of humor."

Shani said softly:
“I don’t know if you chose to come here on purpose, hiding in Marshal Loren’s mansion to lick your wounds, but please restrain your dignity.

It's not just me who's here.

The Lord and Murphy are here, and they are coming this way."

"Papaying? My brother."

An indistinct sound came from the mouth of the wolf-bat monster.

This name seemed to give old Edward, who was on the verge of madness, a sense of security. So under Shani's gaze, the dangerous wolf bat just sat on the ground and after a few breaths, it returned from beast form to human form.

Ordinary wolfsbane vampires cannot control their animal nature when they enter the wilderness incarnation, let alone return on their own initiative. The fact that Edward can still maintain his sanity is enough to show how strong this guy is in all aspects. However, returning to human form made old Edward's injuries worse in an instant.

He lay there coughing up shocking black blood with difficulty, and Xia Ni hurried forward to support him.

"Were you injured by Cecilia?"

she asked:
"She got the Fallen Virtue?"

"Yes and no."

Old Edward was already very weak. He panted and whispered:

"This is all deliberately planned. She intends to infect the Mad Blood Underground! The Wolfsbane Gathering must stop her!"

"whoosh"

At the moment when old Edward fell unconscious, the Lord, who was brought over by Murphy with his arm in a sling, rushed over and hugged his brother. He looked at the horrible wound on old Edward's chest and suddenly became furious.

Murphy also rushed over to check it out, shook his head and said:
"No, this wound has a very special power, a vicious weapon designed to target the genes of vampires! Edward must be sent to the R-9 base immediately. Only the biological equipment there can temporarily stabilize his genetic structure that has begun to collapse.

However, if you want to be completely cured,

"Greenhouse of life, huh?"

The Lord spoke softly, Murphy nodded, and he said:
"This seems like a complete provocation. Well, the purpose is so clear. It seems that the monk leader is eager for us to go to the Greenhouse of Life as the next stop. The bastard hopes that we will be delayed so that he can have more time to enter the Heart of the World.

We'll see him someday, you hear?
Edward, stand up and don't lose face! You will have the chance to take revenge yourself."
