My Players Are So Fierce

Murphy arranged the affairs of Scarleton Fortress briefly and set off with Triss to Courage Fortress, ready to embark on the “astral travel” package Mannis had prepared for him.

But actually, there wasn’t much to arrange.

The front line has already advanced to the Polluted Swamp, and although Huggesen is busy with the “Great Purge” and hasn’t launched an attack yet, the final decisive battle between Transylvania and the Black Disaster has essentially been scheduled.

Both sides know it’s time to throw everything they have into the fight, and in this situation, there are very few tricks left to play.

Murphy is quite self-aware; he knows he has no talent for military maneuvers, so he basically doesn’t get involved in the war planning.

After two major battles at the Blackflame Mountain Pass and Wasteland Mountain, the inexperienced Maxim has rapidly matured, and Kudle holding the fort at the Maginot Line doesn’t need Murphy’s military advice. On the domestic front, Milian and the administrative team are doing well, making Murphy feel like just a rubber stamp while sitting in the office.

Thus, after the defense at Baphomet Canyon also fell, all that was left for Murphy, this main storyline NPC, to do was make appearances to boost morale and hand out daily tasks to his adorable players.

It’s somewhat sad, but in reality, even if “Transylvania’s mascot” Sir Murphy were to disappear for a few days, it wouldn’t affect the already clear war situation at all, which gave Murphy the freedom to go off and have some fun for a few days.

Moreover, if one takes the whole picture into perspective, what Hog is doing in the Dark Mountain Range is no less important for this Black Disaster than the war facing Transylvania. As the main promoter of the “Wise Wolf Plan,” it feels somewhat off if Murphy isn’t present at this moment of seeing stage victory.

He and Triss arrived at Courage Fortress at precisely seven o’clock the next morning. The two were very low-key; besides Miss Primis, who was receiving them, no one in the entire Courage Fortress knew Murphy had arrived.

Now, they just had to wait for Lord Endless to give the signal at the right time, and then Murphy would use the omnipotent device to send himself and Triss into the Star Realm.

“If everything goes smoothly, we only need fifteen minutes to reach the Misty Coast from Courage Fortress, where Shani will be waiting for us.”

In Miss Primis’ Mage Tower, Murphy said to the bored Triss:

“Have you contacted Cui Tan? If Endless, that unreliable one, fails us today, Cui Tan will have to step in, but I don’t have any rapport with it.”

“What? You said Shani is also there? Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Triss’s focus point was quite odd.

She completely ignored the latter part of Murphy’s words, and upon hearing that Shani was also at the destination, this Bloodline Duke immediately took out a bunch of makeup products that made Murphy twitch and began to touch up her makeup.

Competition among beautiful women is truly terrifying.

The Governor sighed in his heart and was about to repeat his question when he heard Triss, while lining her eyes without looking back, say:

“Cui Tan owes me a huge favor, but I wouldn’t count on that sly Old Turtle to repay it straightforwardly. Several previous events have already proven that the ‘Wanderer’ is completely unreliable. I contacted it last night.

It confidently said it would get us to our destination, but it wouldn’t care about any problems on the journey, obviously wanting to be a hands-off boss.

So I suggest you be prepared.

By the way, why is Veylanther not here today? Isn’t she responsible for your close protection?”

“I don’t know either, Veylanther seemed very resistant when she heard about going to the Star Realm. She said her divination results for today meant it was unfavorable to approach the Star Realm, so she didn’t come with us, but she gave me this.”

Murphy took out a pair of Shadow Spirit style fist blades from his psychic package, tossed them in his hand, and said:

“This sacred relic that Yvette confiscated from Old Manson somehow ended up in her hands and was re-purified by Veylanther as a weapon. She lent it to me, saying that in case of danger, I could pray to Lady Spider through it, and it might help us escape the crisis.

So, my dear, what do you think?”

“Hmpf, I’ll look with my eyes closed.”

Triss said in a drawn-out voice:

“It’s obvious Veylanther has some issues, but you just pretend not to see them. Why don’t you ask her straight out?”

“Do you want to hear the truth?”

Murphy, stroking the Shadow Spirit fist blades in his hands, sighed and said:

“The truth is, I don’t dare to ask, you know that feeling?

It’s like fishing by the sea, you clearly have a fish on the hook, but you don’t dare to reel it in because you don’t know if what you’ve caught is a deep-sea giant whale.

I don’t even dare to guess Veylanther’s secrets.

Legend has it that since her birth, Lady Spider has been weaving a Network of Destiny as a symbol of her striving for the godhood of the deity of destiny. Triss, what do you say, you and I, even the whole of Transylvania and the entire Fifth Black Disaster—are we all on that web?”

“Shh!”

Triss turned around, making a hush gesture, and said:

“You’ve always been watched by all the Divine Spirits, encountering such outrageous situations is only a matter of time, I think you should mentally prepare yourself, but at least so far, they haven’t shown any malice.”
