Chapter 116 115 If We Run Away with Our Belongings Now, It Should Still Be in Time, Right? 【5560】

Chapter 116 115. It’s still too late for us to run away now, right? 【5560】

When he heard Palano praising Murphy's talent in a disgusting tone and exaggerated language, Murphy's cheeks became hot after being praised, and his and Tris's expressions became quite strange.

Tris hesitates to tell Palano the truth.

That is to say, Murphy has spent most of this year fishing and taking care of her, a useless vampire who can't take care of himself. He has only become stronger in the past twenty days.

hiss!

Thinking about it this way, little Murphy's talent is really terrifying!

Perhaps he guessed what Tris was thinking, the expressionless Murphy put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed hard, causing Tris to come back to her senses immediately.

All right.

This cannot be said.

Especially the matter about Murphy and his alien warriors, which cannot be mentioned at all.

It seems that the psychic dog tags Tris made for young players are still very useful. At least Palano, who takes the physics career route, did not discover the fact that the players are summoned objects from another world.

"As Tris said, I am an out-and-out 'semi-illiterate' among the vampire community."

Murphy pretended to sigh helplessly, looked at Palano again, and said:

"Why don't you explain the Black Disaster to me. I only know that it is a coalition of monsters that emerged from the Dark Mountains. They will swarm and attack various parts of the continent every hundred years, but I don't know the specific cause at all."

"Well, your summary is actually accurate enough."

The First Lord smiled and took out a stack of maps from his bag.

The most outrageous thing is that this thing actually has the strong scent of roses, which made Murphy's eyes twitch.

Hey, brother, I know your character is a wanderer, but your personal style really doesn’t need to be so strong. I mean, you’re really a bit too extreme.

"Shua"

With the psychic support of Paliano, the map unfolded before Murphy's eyes.

This thing is so huge that it looks like a military-grade map at first glance, but it only depicts the various terrains in the Dark Mountain area, not the entire continent.

The so-called dark mountain range is not a simple mountain! Its area is very huge, stretching from the western border of the ancient country of Callum in the east, to the eastern line of the Genoa Peninsula in the west, to the narrow misty coast in the south, and to the line from Transia to the Kafhoka Plain in the north.

This terrain alone, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea, occupies a quarter of the total area of ​​the continent, and is more than four times larger than the entire border of the Confederation of Persia, where the Transia region is located!

If you look down from the orbit of the planet, the Dark Mountains are like a black scar on the continent, like a scab area after a serious injury. Naturally, there cannot be only mountainous terrain in such a huge area. In fact, the description of "Dark Mountains" only refers to the outer mountains surrounding this huge area.

From Palano's detailed map, it can be seen that the Dark Mountains are filled with swamps, plains, rift valleys, deserts, and even lakes and snow-capped mountains.

This military map from the Blood Alliance Knights also specially marked the different areas where different forces in the Dark Mountains are located.

There are plains and swamps ruled by gnoll tribes, mountains occupied by trolls, eternal rifts and mysterious underdark areas where shadow elves are located, large tracts of gray deserts and salt lakes and dead seas, as well as some sporadic small forces.

For example, Sin Castle, Burning Peak, Hungry Mountain, etc.

The map itself was an eye-opener for Murphy, and as his eyes accurately scanned every part of the map, in the test management system's map function, everything except the Transia area was originally covered in fog. The shrouded area was also "lit", covering the entire Dark Mountain area in the style of the Knights of the Blood Alliance military map.

Great!

Isn’t this the content of the new map and new expansion pack?

Little players are ecstatic!

"The reason why the Dark Mountains are dangerous is not only because of the gnoll barbarians and vassal races such as kobolds and goatmen operating in it, but also because the entire Dark Mountains area has been shrouded in filthy and manic spiritual energy since the beginning of the era. middle.

Those filthy spiritual energy seeped into the earth, making the life born there barbaric and warlike, far from being civilized at all. "

Palano's fingers slid across the map in front of him, and he said in a low tone:

"However, there is actually a complete food chain and ecosystem inside the Dark Mountains. It is this food chain that maintains the basic stability of this barbaric area. It is based on those dirty spiritual energies and promotes the proliferation of life in it. And accept fierce challenges all the time to complete the transformation of death.

Take the Jackal for example!

They are very fertile.

But their mortality rate in the harsh environment of the Dark Mountains is also very high, so they can barely maintain the slow growth of the population without causing too much trouble.

Unfortunately, the dirty spiritual energy in the Dark Mountains has a very strange 'cyclical change'.

This change was unknown for a long time, until the first large-scale 'Filthy Drainage' occurred in AD 645.

The filthy spiritual energy that shrouded the Dark Mountains suddenly weakened to a state that could be called 'calm' within a few years. This allowed outside life to finally enter this area to explore, but the sudden change in spiritual energy broke the news. The food chain and ecology in the Dark Mountains are already fragile.

As the gnolls' living environment improved, their numbers began to surge, and in just five years they spawned a huge savage army.

They began to conquer the forces around the territory. The dog-headed men and ogres were surrounded by them and began to move out of the Dark Mountains in the desire for more food and resources.

That was the first black disaster in history! "

The first lord pointed his finger at the eastern pass and the northwest exit of the Dark Mountains. He glanced at Murphy and said:

"The scale of the black disaster was not large. The invasion of the gnoll tide in the east was resisted by the brass fort built by the brass dwarves at the entrance of the Dark Mountains. However, they soon found another unguarded exit in the northwest. "

"Filthy Swamp!"

Murphy narrowed his eyes. He could guess what happened next without the first lord's description.

"Yes, the Filthy Swamp in the southernmost part of the Transia region, the largest swamp terrain on the continent, and the natural isolation zone between the core of the continent and the Dark Mountains. "

Tress took over the conversation, drinking fine wine and sighing:

"I was not born when the first black disaster occurred, but I learned about the tragedy at that time from the records of the Blood Eagle Clan.

More than 200,000 gnolls and their vassal tribes rushed through the filthy swamp and spread across the clan-based Transia region at the time. Almost all human tribes in the entire region were wiped out within half a month.

Then the gnolls advanced in the east and west, and the free city-states of the Sealanders paid the price of destroying one-third of their population to resist the gnolls' frenzy.

The Nord clans protected their wilderness with the help of the Frost Dwarves, the Thorn Clan, and their North Wind God. After that, it took the human tribes fifteen years to drive the gnolls back to the Dark Mountains.

Vampires were also deeply bound to humans from that time.

That was the first time we fought side by side with humans, and at that time we still firmly occupied the leadership.

But the first black disaster was not all bad.

Five years after the black disaster ended, the free city-states of the Sealanders in the three regions of Anjou, Bourbon and Saxe took the lead in unifying through the wartime union system.

They formed the first human kingdom of Sealand.

Afterwards, the Kingdom of Isha on Greene Island also started a war of unification. The Kingdom of Nordtov was established last, but the descendants of the Winter who finally conquered the Great Wilderness hundreds of years later were still the descendants of the human hero King Boris who took the lead in resisting the jackals.

It can be said that it was the first Black Plague that broke out in 650 AD that shaped the current human civilization. "

"Then the Portia Confederation?"

Murphy said:

"The establishment of this area where we are is also due to the Black Plague?"

"That was the second Black Plague."

Tracey waved her hand and said casually with the ease of a historian:

"The second Black Plague broke out in 720 AD, but this time it was smaller in scale, more like a remnant counterattack of the first Black Plague.

Although the jackals broke through the filthy swamp again, the well-prepared human coalition blocked them in the Transia area. With the help of the dwarves of the Brass Castle who reacted quickly, they were successfully driven back to the Dark Mountains after three years of fighting.

After that, humans realized the connection between Transia and the Dark Mountains, and no kingdom was willing to take over this isolated and ominous place that was always subject to war.

In desperation, the three kingdoms of Sealand, Isa and Nordtov each sent a group of unlucky nobles to station here. They also separated the border residents and migrated here to build the political framework here.

That was the prototype of the initial Portia Confederation.

They said it very well at the time! They said that they would follow the privileges of the dwarf Gaia guards of the Brass Castle and give the selected nobles the sacred duty of "protecting civilization" and the power to establish an independent country.

Unfortunately, the three kingdoms secretly manipulated the entire Portia Confederation region to never establish a truly unified country, and the union of the seven free city-states of the Portia Confederation was also a helpless move.

The Blood Vulture Clan also entered the Transia region at that time.

At that time, the human nobles and kings praised the occupation of this place by Sarokdar as a "glorious act of justice", but 400 years later, we became the shameless thieves who stole their territory in the mouths of humans. "

"How do you know this history so clearly?"

Murphy looked at Tracy in surprise, and the Scarlet Witch rolled her eyes cutely and said:

"Because before I became a vampire, I was a psychic and historian, and this history happened to be what I experienced personally. I was born in 660 AD, just when the first black disaster was about to end, so I basically witnessed the birth of the Portia Confederation.

Ten years before the outbreak of the second black disaster, I was seriously ill and was embraced by Sarokdar for the first time, officially starting my life as a vampire. "

"Then you are only 451 years old. "

Murphy whispered:

"It's less than 500 years old, but she always says she's 500 years old. It's the instinct of ladies to downplay their age. This is the first time I've seen someone deliberately exaggerate their age. You're really a freak, Tris, in every sense."

"Shut up! Don't ask about my business!"

Tris stepped on Murphy's left foot in dissatisfaction and said:

"Let's talk business! Palano, continue."

"It's okay, I can wait a moment."

The Prodigal Knight Lord looked at the interesting interaction between the man and woman with an age difference of 432 years with interest. He waved his hand and said:

"It's actually quite interesting to see you two get along. I haven't seen such a friendly relationship between elders and blood descendants for many years. Even in the Knights of the Blood Alliance, such exchanges are rare."

"Shut up!"

Murphy and Tris scolded in unison, causing Palano to shrug his shoulders and continue with what Tris had just said:

"The third black disaster occurred in 860 AD. The scale of this time was also small, and even made everyone who participated in the black disaster resistance feel that we are too worried about this once-in-a-century disaster?

After all, with the growth of various civilizations, the tide of gnolls that could easily destroy the continent seems to have become a "natural phenomenon" that is not worth paying too much attention to. The third black disaster does not even require the dwarves to take action. The human coalition alone is enough to suppress the gnolls in southern Transia.

However, the facts have proved that the gnolls People are not stupid.

At least not as stupid as we think. They can learn and have inheritance. ”

The first lord narrowed his eyes, drew a circle with his finger in a woodland area on the southern foot of the Dark Mountains, and said:

"The great warlord of the wolf in the third Black Disaster did not send out all the warriors. On the contrary, while attacking the Brass Castle and invading Transya according to tradition, it also sent a special wolf force to seize this moss valley from the shadow elves.

This is a rare area in the Dark Mountains with a mild climate and sufficient food. The most important thing is that the degree of interference from the filthy psychic energy here is very low.

I think I don’t need to describe what will happen next. ”

Palanno stood up, grabbed a white rose and sniffed it under his nostrils. With his artistic movements, the story of the Black Disaster also ushered in the most critical turning point.

"In the year 1000 of the era, the fourth Black Plague arrived as expected!

Because of the unanimous agreement reached by the leaders during the third Black Plague, except for the stubborn Brass Dwarves who did not reduce the defense of the Brass Castle, all other forces withdrew part of the military forces specifically for defending against the Black Plague.

And the gnolls, who had been hiding in the moss valley and secretly accumulating strength for 140 years, came out in full force this time under the leadership of a warlord named "Bite the Bone"!

This time, not only did they have an army more than ten times that of the third Black Plague, but even more terrifyingly, psychic individuals were born in large numbers among them.

No one knows where the gnolls learned these from, but they have an organized spellcasting unit.

Therefore, in the first month of the fourth Black Plague, the Portia Confederation, except for the cities of Cadman and Sogno, , Xike City, the entire territory fell! The adjacent Kakhovka Plain, Ice Bay, Sachs, East Prussia and the border of the Kato region all became paradises for the gnolls to wreak havoc.

By the time the entire stunned human civilization reacted, the black disaster had already become a torrent from the beginning. In the sixth month, the gnoll vanguard even fought to the city of North Wind Castle.

But it was like a replica of the first black disaster!

Humans finally reached unconditional unity at the last moment of the demise of civilization.

The Sealand nobles, who were extremely corrupt in our eyes, regained the glory of their ancestors. King Louis VI at that time personally led the Royal Guard Knights to the front line. The Kingdom of Isa also spared no effort to send all their warships across the dangerous North Sea to support Nordtov in the face of storms and sea monsters.

The most important thing is, The last human kingdom that had been watching all this coldly, the ancient kingdom of Kalem, which had existed for more than 800 years in the history after the era, finally took the initiative to intervene in the Black Disaster for the first time.

The mysterious and powerful dragonborn crossed the White Mountain border between them and the Kingdom of Nordtof, and those brave men who believed in the Astral Dragons supported the Nords' precarious kingdom throughout the Great Wilderness.

In addition, the jackals on the western front crossed the Cato region into the Antani region and foolishly burned the elves' green forests, which finally angered the Castilian elves who never intervened too much in the affairs of the continent.

With the majestic Amastasha fleet carrying 27 forest ranger legions and three storm druid legions on the Misty Coast, they carried out an unprecedented glorious landing and united with their ancient distant relatives. The thirteen families of shadow elves living in the Eternal Rift attacked the gnoll defense line of the Dark Mountains from the rear.

All civilizations and races on the entire continent were united. In the face of such power, the black disaster that was about to sweep across the continent was finally effectively curbed.

When the Songhai Empire, far away in the Land of Origin, also sent a magnificent sun ship into the battlefield and accurately annihilated the clan of the great warlord Bone Gnawing in southern Transia, the King of Bone Gnawing fled into the filthy swamp and disappeared.

The fourth black disaster, after eight years of raging, finally turned to the moment of counterattack with difficulty.

In the end, it took us a full ten years and paid the sacrifice of nearly 400,000 warriors of various races and millions of civilians to drive the gnolls back to their mountains.

Since then, no one dared to underestimate the black disaster!

The trauma of the fourth black disaster on the continent has not yet recovered even now, 111 years later. There used to be nearly 2.3 million people in Transia, but now there are only less than 400,000 people left, and this is only the number before the start of the ten-year war. "

Palanno turned around in the silent tent and looked at Murphy, who had a serious face. He said softly:

"Now, another black disaster is brewing. We found that all the gnoll clans in the entire Dark Mountains are acting abnormally, and this round of the Dark Mountains filth and exhaustion cycle has entered the final stage.

At least four months, at most six months, the fifth black disaster will be fully formed!

By then, Murphy, as the only free state lord in the Transian region, whether you like it or not, you must assume the sacred duty given to you when the Portia Confederation was established.

Either turn into an iron wall to block the black disaster!

Or, be ruthlessly swallowed by it.

This is the cruel rule that everyone who wants to establish rule in Transian must face. Unfortunately, you have joined this game and so far, you are the only candidate.

If you want to run, Lord Paying will personally teach you what the dignity of the blood clan is!"

Murphy didn't want to run. He just blinked and glanced at the rather subtle six-month completion cycle on his "main task". All doubts suddenly became clear at this moment.

Well, I was wondering why this crazy administrator system was so generous to give me half a year of development time. It turns out that it was waiting for me here.

Blanch!
