My Players Are So Fierce

“If you want to take advantage, just say it. I can have a chat with Cui Tan and ask him to help take care of the members of the Thorn Clan as well.”

Murphy shook his head and said:

“There’s no need for us to beat around the bush, but I do need your help with something, Shani. The God of the North Wind previously instructed me to find the Black Winter Wolf in the Great Wilderness. I can’t make it there myself right now, so I have to entrust this task to a local snake like you.

The true name of that Black Winter Wolf is ‘Eris.’ If you say this name, it won’t attack your messenger.”

“The Black Winter Wolf, a legendary beast of calamity. Murphy… how many secrets do you have that I don’t know of?”

Shani sighed but didn’t refuse the request.

However, before they set off for the chaotic Blood Plunder Bay, the Thorns Duke extended an invitation to Murphy:

“Come with me, to my tent.”

“Hey!”

Triss, with a stern face, her hands sparking with blinding lightning, rebuked:

“What are you up to? Some sneaky business right in front of me? Are you planning to duel with me here?”

“What else would I do?”

Shani said with a deadpan face:

“I’m having your little darling help me remove some poison. I recently took down an incarnation of ‘Origin’ hidden in Abyss City. Even though I don’t feel anything myself, Lord Paryen insists I have Murphy inspect me, in case Twilight has planted some invisible seeds of corruption.

If you’re worried, you’re welcome to watch.

I have absolutely no interest in your ‘delicious’ Triss. Murphy is not my type…”

—————–

Blood Plunder Bay is a typical pirate city.

The city doesn’t have a real foundation; it was built upon the ruins of an ancient city.

Pirates decorated their city with various ocean-themed items, even using stranded ships as bridges between the ragged buildings at different heights. They diverted seawater into the city’s lower parts, creating waterways, which initially gave the city an “exotic style.” However, when filthy Wave Fishmen rushed into the burning city along those waterways, this design suddenly became incredibly foolish.

The stinking pirates engaged in passionate brawls against a backdrop of raging flames, completely unaware that a third party had joined this “grand mess.” When the numerous Merfolk charged out of the sewage with loud cries, the unsuspecting pirates were thrown into chaos almost immediately.

Someone sounded the shrill city alarm, but it was useless.

They were so engrossed in their mutual slaughter game that with half the city already set ablaze, expecting these guys to quickly unite against the bloodthirsty Merfolk was as futile as praying for the descent of divine spirits.

Until enough of them were dead, the pirates couldn’t unite. Only when the shadow of annihilation loomed over them did these scoundrels of various races band together against outsiders.

But such chaos provided the perfect setting for assassins to roam.

With a fading palm imprint on her face, Shani, Murphy, Triss, and their servants swaggered into Blood Plunder Bay without encountering any obstruction at all.

As they moved through the city, the assassins that Shani had dispatched here in advance quickly converged and brought back intelligence.

These professionals are truly amazing. The Night Walkers already figured out the current location of the Blood Fear Clan. They found an underground tunnel beneath the city’s ruins and are hiding there for some unknown reason.

When the group reached the tunnel entrance, Murphy finally met Andre,

The Northerner poet they hadn’t seen for two months still looked like fresh meat. However, from his eyes and posture, one could see that this journey had corrected many of Andre’s bad habits, further transforming him from a young man into a true leader.

And what upset Murphy the most was…

“You’re silver-ranked now?”

The Vampire Governor punched Andre in the chest and said dissatisfiedly:

“Weren’t we supposed to be in Black Iron Rank together? How did you secretly level up? How are we supposed to be brothers sharing fortunes now?”

“Uh, it was just an accident.”

Andre shrugged and gave Murphy a hug, patting Handsome Murphy’s shoulder and softly saying:

“I happened to run into a Shadow Elf Assassin Master along the way and learned a few things from her. But you could have advanced long ago; you were just suppressing yourself.”

“Happened to run into?”

Murphy blinked and said:

“Why don’t I believe that?”

“Okay, in truth, she ambushed me and was shot down by Babro from eight hundred meters away, and I just collected a kill.”

Andre snapped his fingers, and a Shadow Elf turned Thorn Vampire silently appeared behind him. Although its aura was still unstable, Shani and Triss immediately identified it as a Gold-rank elf assassin.

“Good job! You learned to cheat too. I’m not alone in this path.”

Murphy found nothing strange about this.

After all, as a Black Iron Rank, he already had two Gold-ranked offspring. He merely thought Andre was lucky. However, to other vampires, Count Bai of White Mountain had clearly achieved something terrifying in every sense.

It’s just as they say, like father, like son. Staying with Murphy for a long time, even a good boy like Andre learned to cheat.

“Tell me, what’s Babro’s current situation?”

Murphy asked as he followed Andre into the tunnel:

“Is the entire Blood Fear Clan down there now?”

“How could that be?”

Andre shook his head and said:

“Counting the branches, the Blood Fear Clan has nearly a hundred thousand members. If you include the Blood Servants, this number can exceed three hundred thousand. Spread across the Misty Sea, they are currently the only vampires who can numerically surpass the Wolfsbane Clan. Gathering them all in one place would give the other pirates in Blood Plunder Bay sleepless nights.

Fortunately, they are not united.

There are only a little over two thousand here, but they are the elite members of the Blood Fear Clan. They were lured by a guy named ‘Captain Vite,’ and they seized the Sacred Blood Pool and drank the Origin Blood before Babro returned.

Poor Babro didn’t even realize it before he was captured by his subordinates.

I escaped during the chaos. Those guys were discussing something about ‘sacrifice’ and ‘surrender,’ which I didn’t quite understand, but I sensed that the Blood Fear traitors seemed very uneasy, and Babro didn’t even resist; his reaction was a bit strange.”

“Just as I expected, these poor fools were scared into making an unforgivable mistake.”

Murphy rubbed his chin as he stood before the door leading to the lower tunnel and said:

“Just watch me for a while. If we’re lucky, we might resolve this ridiculous mess without a fight.”
