Chapter 1386: 468. Those damn duplicate keys and door-opening tasks are so annoying

Things are progressing badly just as Tear Flesh predicted. The pace of the Transia People’s advance is unusually fast.

By the morning of the second day, the vanguard squad of the most aggressive students appeared within the line of sight of the watchtower in Plague Town. These rascals, wrapped up like rice dumplings, were carrying the battle flags of the Blood Vulture Clan and Transia quite nonchalantly and planted them boisterously on the hill opposite Plague Town, cheering as if the Battlefield Old Six had finally captured a point.

It seemed like an omen, a symbol, that the players had finally arrived at the last stage of the "Shadow of the Swamp" major event, with only one step left in the raid on this cluster of dungeons.

The act of planting the flag also lit up a "Victory Day" hidden achievement for them in the raid progress.

Unfortunately, Sir Morphy had set the time limit for "Shadow of the Swamp" to be forty days, with just the creation and production of the Incendiary Bomb by Loyal Brother taking almost twenty days. Adding up all the operations back and forth, now they were left with only twelve days to the final deadline.

Honestly, there was not much time left.

"Damn, this terrain is deadly!"

Niu Niu wrapped a circle of grass around his helmet for some meaningless camouflage.

Crouching in the bushes, he held a monocular and scouted around toward Plague Town. Although the heavy war fog made it impossible to see anything valuable, at least the terrain won’t deceive him.

"The damned Wolf People have employed undead to dig up the ground around the town, creating a wide moat. I don’t know what’s in that weird-colored river water, but I absolutely do not want to jump down to test it.

The only way into the town is across the bridge, but damn it, there are a large number of high-level undead guarding the three sides. To enter the town, we must clear the last group of elite in front of us."

Niu Niu put down the binoculars and said to Brother Cat beside him dressed in similar attire:

"The open terrain below means once we go down, there’s no advantage to hold; the other side has already completely occupied the advantageous terrain, and we have no other options besides a frontal assault."

"Yes, Lady Shui and Brother Meow’s predictions in the post were very accurate,"

Brother Cat, carrying a heavy sword, nodded and said:

"This is obviously a dungeon cluster. To enter the team dungeon ’Land of Rotting Corpses,’ we first need to deal with the small dungeons in the three outlying directions, a classic dungeon quest line. I reckon we’ll also have to obtain some keys through quests."

"Hey, come back, the NPC has a mission!"

Just as Brother Cat finished speaking, the voice of Ayu came from the temporary position in the rear, and Niu Niu and Brother Cat exchanged glances. Resigned, they stood up and returned to their position, only to see "Bloody Widow" Madam Mary in a very conservative long black dress, flapping her wings and gently descending.

Holding a scroll in her left hand that lay flat in front of her chest in the ’messenger’ pose, she hovered a few inches above the ground, cleared her throat, and shouted to the warriors around her still smelling of heavy gunpowder:

"I bring orders from Femis, Countess of the Andma and the leader of the Blood Vulture Clan Midnight Faction!

Following Governor Morphy’s orders, the young miss will come to support you in your assault on Plague Town in the Swamp. However, the distinguished young miss will not participate directly in attacking the Wolf People. She will assist you by dispersing the war fog and countering the stolen Mage Tower by the Wolf People.

The young miss will ensure that every team of warriors stepping into Plague Town will not be hindered by the Mage Tower’s obstructions and attacks!

However, Plague Town’s Mage Tower is built on a node of the circulation of Spiritual Energy, which makes it difficult for Femis’s countering of Spiritual Energy to last too long. Each countering will give you 6 hours of free attack time.

When the time is up, you must immediately exit Plague Town to avoid a devastating counterattack from the Jackal Warlock.

However, to enable the young miss to safely conduct the Spiritual Energy countering ritual, you must first clear the undead guards near Plague Town, but I believe, this shouldn’t be hard for the warriors of Transia."

"Holy shit! So this is the cursed rotation system?"

After Madam Mary delivered the message from the young miss, Sly Ghost in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"So now, we don’t even have the freedom to raid dungeons? We need to find NPCs to help us open the door? What kind of design is this?"

"You don’t get it, dummy. This is called key running, understand? It’s a classic group dungeon key quest, just like you have to go to Blackstone Tower to find Rexa before fighting the Black Dragon Sister.

Fuck!

Speaking of which, I am reminded of my miserable days wandering around the map looking for that loser Rexa."

"By the way, has anyone heard that Rexa’s bear was actually transformed from a Druid Sister? Is that true?"

"Who knows? But Misha’s slap sure hurts..."

Seeing that the crowd began the usual complaints, the presidents of several guilds allied on this western front gathered to discuss. Zou Lan, the Demon of Moon from the Eight Elites, spoke first:

"Obviously, the development team is undertaking a very new and disheartening experiment. Whether we can progress through the dungeons entirely depends on whether we can clear Plague Town within the six hours of the young miss’s counteraction."
