My players are so fierce

Chapter 58 58. Witch hunter?Why are there witch hunters?This time we are really on the wrong side of the road!
"Mr. Portman, you said three workers who went out to log wood disappeared last night?"

On the fifth day of the special event in Cadman City, Miriam got bad news early in the morning.

Holding a cup of tea that tasted strange but refreshing, she looked at the captain of the camp guards in front of her. The latter was in his 40s and had been a police officer in the outer city of Cadman City. He was now appointed to command a total of 30 camp guards.

At this moment, this fat man with a bit of bald head was wiping sweat in front of Miriam's eyes.

Although Miriam was old enough to be his daughter, his wealth, life, and the new position he had finally obtained were all at the other's fingertips, which was enough for him to be in awe of Miriam.

This emotion was also keenly captured by the red-haired girl.

She didn't hate this feeling of being respected, so she imitated the postures of the managers she had seen in her memory, and asked in a slow tone:

"Is there an error in the records? It's the first time for many of the guards in the camp to do this kind of professional thing. Have you checked it out?"

"I personally went to the shack where the three workers were assigned, and also asked the people around, Mr. Supervisor."

The fat captain said seriously:

"It can be confirmed that they are really missing! They didn't go to work today. The team leader who counts the labor points has not seen the three of them since last night."

"Could he have escaped?"

Miriam's assistant, a clever maid of a wealthy businessman, saw the supervisor lost in thought and couldn't help but ask:
"Although most people in the camp have accepted management, there are some stubborn people who are dissatisfied with the order brought by Lord Murphy. We all know this."

"No, it's not."

Guard Captain Portman explained:

“Those three woodcutter were all young men rescued by Lord Maxim. They worked very hard when they were assigned to work these two days, and two of them had family members in the camp.

People who knew them said that these three guys were very honest. They had no reason or ability to escape at this time. They didn't even bring food or clothes, so how far could they run?

Based on my many years of experience in handling cases, I guess that it might have been picked up by a wild animal when I was relaxing around the camp after work. There have been wild wolves in the nearby forest since a long time ago. "

"I don't feel like something is right about this."

Miriam shook her head and said to Mr. Portman:
"First, take people to search around. Don't make any noise so as not to cause panic. I need to report this matter to Mr. Murphy. Fortunately, the curfew has been implemented for two days, otherwise this matter would not have been discovered so easily."

A few minutes later, Murphy learned about the "missing workers" incident in the survivor camp through the link of the calculation orb. He was still preparing for the "big burning plan" to recover the ruins of the city. Looking up, I saw two young players walking out of the city carrying weapons while talking and laughing.

He remembered that these seemed to be Niu Niu's two younger disciples?
Two sports students!
Just sent him on an errand.

Murphy rolled his eyes, coughed, and said to the two young players who were in a good mood:
"My warriors, come here quickly, I have an important task for you."

The two little players looked at each other and ran over excitedly. They also treated Murphy with local etiquette, which they learned from other people.

"We are willing to offer our loyalty to you, Lord Murphy."

The two guys showed their loyalty.

But looking at their looks, you can tell that they are definitely planning to increase their favorability.

Murphy ignored the anxious expressions of the two young players with the calmness that an NPC should have. He said in a low tone:

"Something happened in the survivor camp. Three hard-working and reliable workers we protected disappeared last night. Although it may be due to wild animals, we cannot take it lightly.

I hope you two can go investigate and help Miss Miriam solve her troubles. "

"Ding"

The task was triggered, and the two young players immediately looked at their player interfaces:
[Random event·"Trouble in the Camp" has been triggered
Mission description: An unsettling change occurred in the survivor camp. With the current shortage of manpower, Lord Murphy decided to send his most loyal and reliable warriors to eliminate all potential dangers.

Mission objective: Thoroughly search the area around the camp and look for clues about the missing workers.

Mission reward: Unknown, you will receive additional rewards for eradicating hidden dangers.

Mission time limit: before dusk today.

hint!

Random events are different from tasks. They often have time limits and random rewards. Please complete the event within the time limit. 】

"Go, go, go! After this wave of missions are completed, the favorability of our powerful and reliable Lord Murphy will definitely rise sharply."

The two young players received the task and rushed to the stables on the edge of the defense line without looking back. There were docile old horses that could be rented to facilitate traveling between the camp and the defense line.

But they had obviously never ridden a horse before, and they had to get on the back of the horse with the help of an old driver who was specially assigned to look after the horses, and headed towards the mission goal at a turtle's speed.

Watching the whole process made Murphy's face hurt, especially the two students lying on the horse and looking so proud of themselves.

He felt that he really needed to train the young players in their vehicle skills. After all, in this continent full of swords and magic, it would be unreasonable for you to debut as an adventurer if you can't even ride a horse.

But this little incident was quickly forgotten by Murphy, and he soon entered the depths of the ruins of the outer city to look for those astral beasts to eradicate them.

Although the strength trial cannot be completed for the time being and the blood vulture swordsmanship is already at the master level, the tomb sword guard swordsmanship and the shadow elf secret swordsmanship still need to be practiced. Improving these two advanced swordsmanship is not that easy.

Tris is still training him in the use of various psychic skills, making Murphy's little life "extremely fulfilling".

It is no exaggeration to say that he is much busier than the little players chasing fun.

After 10 minutes, the two young players [Mud Give Luda Oil] and [Kachitoni Tai] finally arrived at the place where the workers disappeared. They jumped off their horses and tied the vehicle to a tree. They picked up their weapons and started wandering. Search for purpose.

However, as junior students who have accumulated a lot of experience in Niu Niu, the two sports students did not have the professional search skills to complete this task. Their first job transfer was not even hunters but warriors.

Murphy sent them here purely to try their luck, and to use the players' fearless exploration nature to clear some areas that the natives could not penetrate.

The two guys soon met the camp guard captain who was fishing in the woods. After communicating with the other party with the help of the calculation orb, they were pointed out a possible direction by the other party, and then walked further along the forest to the outside of the camp. Explore everywhere.

"This game doesn't have any clue highlights or anything."

Carrying a war spear, he was short but stocky, with obvious muscle outlines in his arms. He was very good at javelin and shot put, and complained:

"At least give a hunter a skill similar to vision. How can we find someone while wandering aimlessly?
Speaking of a plot like this where a worker or farmer is kidnapped, shouldn't it end with him being killed by a wild beast and then triggering a follow-up mission of revenge? "

"What? Are you still planning to carry the beast's head back to the camp to collect the reward?"

The "Katchi Tony" next to her is tall and thin, and her long legs make her look like a professional track and field athlete.

He pressed the hilt of the retinue's sword on his waist, and carried a heraldic shield behind his back. While looking left and right with wide eyes, he joked with his good brothers in the same dormitory:
"Aren't you afraid of meeting a tiger?"

"I'm afraid, we are all athletes who can do anything. If I encounter a tiger, I will look like a sliding tackle!"

The good brother laughed and had no sense of crisis at all.

The two of them just entered the game two days ago.Unlike the previous group of veteran players who fought continuously, the most dangerous things they have faced now are just the desperate derivatives in the city, and they are not very familiar with the various mechanisms in this game.

It is said that the ignorant are fearless, and they are not afraid of anything, so naturally they did not notice a witch hunter squatting on the branch nearby, looking down at the two rookies.

This elite investigator also looked surprised.

They just arrested three camp workers last night and interrogated them all night long. Unexpectedly, they aroused the other party's vigilance this morning and sent people to search.

It stands to reason that the general management level of a post-disaster camp of this size would not be able to reach this level.

"It seems that the news told by those three vampire worshipers is true."

The hidden witch hunter investigator thought in his mind:

"The vampire leader who gathered the survivors in Cadman City is a powerful guy. He has brave warriors under his command and plans to penetrate deeply and take back the city.

But are these the soldiers he sent?
So unprofessional!
But the armor on their bodies is obviously the style of the Blood Vulture Clan, and they must know more. "

Thinking of this, the investigators imitated the chirping of birds and sent out messages in the forest. The mud below, Lu Dayou and Khaki Tony Taize did not notice this change at all. They still moved forward to search, and the result was that after a few minutes, He plunged into the ambush circle of three elite witch hunters ahead.

"boom"

A smoke bomb suddenly fell from a height and hit the feet of two young players. The thick smoke that rose up shocked them.

After realizing that they were being ambushed, the two of them acted without panic. They immediately drew their weapons back to back and defended themselves on the spot without running away.

This all comes from getting used to Niu Niu and Maxim's teaching and command during the two days of fighting in the city.

But seeing three elite witch hunters jumping down from the tree surrounding them, looking at the strange costumes of these three guys and the various weapons they were armed to the teeth, the two young players realized that they were afraid of what they were going to do today. It's impossible to escape even if you have wings.

"I block them!"

Brother Khaki, who was holding a shield and a sword, was quite loyal. He said to the brothers in the dormitory behind him:
"Hurry up and break out of the encirclement, send the coordinates to the world channel, and help people!"

"Oh, then hold on!"

Mu Ge Lu Da Oil knew that this was not the time to show brotherly love.

He screamed while holding the war spear, and rushed towards the witch hunter behind him with a fierce momentum. He was easily dodged by the other party, while Khaki in front was beaten violently by two witch hunter warriors, a man and a woman.

The gap is too big.

The fight was over in five seconds.

Lu Dayou, who broke out of the siege, was stabbed in the back for refusing to cooperate and died on the spot, while Khaki was knocked unconscious with a poison dart by the witch hunter and taken away as a prisoner.

Because the people in the camp had been alarmed, the witch hunter team did not hesitate at all and quickly left here with four prisoners and returned to the village of Moreland.

They feel foolproof.

After all, killing the opponent's rookie soldiers who broke out was enough to ensure that the news would not be leaked.

However, within 20 seconds, the game forum group exploded.

Ni gave Luda oil: [Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!We encountered a ghost in a random event!Why are elite monsters spawning near Novice Village?Or brush three at a time!

I resisted bravely but was stabbed to death in the end, and Kachitonita was knocked unconscious and taken away!
Depend on!What's going on with this game? Does it still have the function of capturing players?

What would happen if Khaki was tortured? 】

Mrs. Khakitoni: [What a torture!Can I be forced offline when I'm knocked unconscious?The game helmet prompts that my character is in a 'special state' and it will take four hours to wake up and go online.

Fortunately, this does not count the consumption of game time.

Depend on!
What new mechanism is this?Why is there no explanation? 】

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry: [This is not good, brother!Since it can be launched online, it means that you have triggered a special plot. Squinting and smiling, maybe it is a special function test of the game, such as R18 SM or something. 】

Lin Bei Gou Pian: [Does this game have such exciting features?Nosebleed thumb.jpg】

Lumina Yanghen: [Don’t worry, you two. This game is still being tested. Maybe it’s a small function test. You two, please tell me what’s going on with those elite monsters?New monster types? 】

Mrs. Khakitoni: [It’s a humanoid monster!Very fierce!They were dressed like the Assassins in Assassin's Creed. They all wore hoods and were loaded with various weapons. Their combat skills were very powerful. My skilled swordsmanship and 7 points of stamina were useless in front of others.

I even took a screenshot!
picture.jpg]

He sent two pictures up, which were taken during the fierce battle. The first picture was blurry, but the image of the opponent clearly appeared in the second picture.

Lumina Yanghen: [! ! !Isn't this an old church witch hunter?We have dealt with them a lot in previous tests. These guys are very powerful and can't be killed with guns. I really don't blame you for being a loser.

But how come they are near Cadman City?

And touched the side of the camp?Is this a new plot to be unlocked?A rhythm that seamlessly integrates with Cadman City's special events? 】

Ni gave Luda oil: [Sister Lumi will tell you in detail what is going on, so these guys are the enemies of Master Murphy, right?Are you here to seek revenge? 】

Lumina Yanghen: [Not necessarily, the background story of the witch hunters has not been fully revealed yet. Who knows what they are going to do, but I suspect it is related to the disaster in Cadman City. The random mission you two triggered was from Mexico. Where did Mr. Fei pick him up?
No wonder then.

It is appropriate for the mainline NPC to issue this kind of plot mission. Maybe he has discovered the traces of these witch hunters.

Don't be afraid, what you encounter may be plot killing.

But I'm confused.

In theory, no one will die in this kind of plot killing. How can you kill yourself? @ Mud to Luda Oil】

Ni gave Lu Da oil: [. I want to resist bravely to the end, so as not to embarrass us players!Actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems that the witch hunter did shout something before stabbing me to death. Maybe he wanted me to surrender?
Depend on!
If I had known better I wouldn't have resisted!
But this can be regarded as a 'work-related injury'. The three-day resurrection was extremely unbearable. It would be unreasonable to not provide compensation. 】

Murphy, who was peeking at the screen at this time, was also confused and shocked. He didn't expect that he could get such information by just sending a mission.

The bastard witch hunters actually came to kill me again?
This bullying of honest people will never end!
Boil!
When my little players grow up, I will definitely spoil you all!

The ashes will be raised for you.

However, those unlucky people took prisoners and took them back?

Gee, they probably don’t know what they caught yet, right?If this didn't give the witch hunter an opportunity to conduct reconnaissance, the "sacrifice" of the young players would have been in vain.

Murphy thoughtfully used the core orb to take over Khakitonita's calculation orb. He seemed to have discovered another way to use his cute little players.

Fortunately they are on our side, tut, otherwise this would be really hard to guard against!
