My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2688 -897: The Invincible City Will Eventually Face Defeat; Impregnable Walls Are Always a Curse

On the third day after the battle at the Lord’s position ended, that is, the twelfth day since the Maginot Line battle started, Murphy, having just temporarily freed himself from the endless post-war matters, received an invitation in his shattered yet victorious command base.

It was an invitation sent from Klim Fortress.

Issued by General Baldwin himself, it bore the emblem of the Winter Wolves Religion and the seal of the Cardinal of the Kafuhoka Region.

Just by looking at the letter’s specifications, one could tell it represented extraordinary significance, and after reading a few lines, Murphy, who was ready for a spontaneous trip, frowned.

“What are these Nords up to?”

He grumbled to Adel beside him:

“They’re holding a grand purification ceremony and inviting other commanders to witness it? This untimely sense of ceremony is a bit too much, isn’t it? Or do they have some other plan in mind?”

“It is said that the Nords were inspired by the action of purifying the calamity brought by the Evil God using the Divine Spirit’s power from the Lord’s position. They also plan to take similar action. I’ve received accurate information that after this purification ceremony, the Klim Fortress garrison will launch a major counterattack on the Wolf People.

General Baldwin hopes to invite other commanders to witness this counterattack and simultaneously boost the morale of the soldiers who have had a tough time there recently.”

Adel, always appearing very reliable, explained:

“Actually, this letter was sent to you as a pretext. It’s very clear in the letter; they invite you to lead the Undying Spirits of Transylvania to witness the ceremony. Clearly, General Baldwin hopes to gain the assistance of those foreign players who shone tremendously in the battle at the Lord’s position during his army’s great counterattack.

But this traditional soldier didn’t say it directly.”

“Hmm, indeed so understated, even when asking for help, they have to be roundabout. This formalistic style is really deadly. But considering that the Klim Fortress has been under intense assault by Huggesen’s troops recently, I can basically understand General Baldwin’s needs and pressures.

But sadly, I have another task to attend to, which cannot be delayed any longer.”

Murphy placed the invitation on the table and instructed Adel:

“Please have Triss and Kudell lead the Hymn of Loyalty and Hammer and Sickle Brigade players to represent me in witnessing the ceremony. It’s getting late, and I should be on my way.

After all, the 100,000 people in Cardman City have been waiting for the Lord’s rescue in the Star Realm for nine months now, and there’s no reason to keep them waiting any longer.”

“Okay.”

Adel nodded, called over a subordinate from the Shadow Intelligence Bureau to forward the invitation to the Grand Duke of Triss, and Murphy also assigned a task to the players at the position to go to Klim Fortress to witness the Nord’s purification ceremony.

After completing all this, he went with Adel to Wolf Castle, entered the Swamp Forbidden Area, and through the teleportation network of the Relic of Creation, arrived at the R-9 base.

Due to the imminent decisive battle at the Maginot Line, all players stationed here had already gone to the battlefield, with some vampires under Bonnie’s Duke’s Guard remaining, while the rest were researchers.

When Murphy arrived, Monica, the Amnesiac Sentinel he hadn’t seen in over half a month, was waiting with her two apprentices, Old Flywheel and Little Sheron, in front of the teleportation formation. Also present was Cement Sister, who had recently quite obediently converted her race to join the Blood Vulture Vampires, and Paul, the consistently humble Goat-man Bad Star Adept.

These were the members who would assist Murphy in the great rescue of Cardman City.

“Is all the preparation work completed?”

Murphy, not wasting words, asked directly:

“How is the transformation of the base’s Energy Bay progressing? And what about the coordinate calculations for the Star Realm mapping?”

“The Energy Bay transformation is completed.”

Monica, still in her classic getup, despite having adopted an engineer outfit fitting for this era, still had the cool Sentinel maintenance master’s belt hanging at her waist, looking like a chic and cool woman mechanic, responded confidently:

“I’ve replaced the energy valves and added overload protection. Now the Creator energy at the R-9 base can vary according to your special power release frequency. But after calculating the residual energy, once the subspace fracture is sealed this time, the remaining energy at this base will enter a dangerous threshold.

You need to find special model battery sticks for the Energy Bay elsewhere. Otherwise, many basic functions of this base will shut down due to energy shortages.”

“Those things sound rare, so where to find them?”

Murphy asked, and Monica immediately replied:

“I’m not very sure about the location of the Relic of Creation in this era, but I guess there must be plenty of spare energy sticks in the Creator Engine at the Origin Land.”

“Hmm, I see. You want to go with me to the places inheriting many relics of creation in this era, no problem, as long as we complete our current project successfully, everything will be negotiable.”

Murphy nodded and then looked at Paul, the cunning and evil Goat-man Astrologer, who felt deeply honored to be involved in Lord Murphy’s grand undertaking.

Of course, this fellow wasn’t moved by the imminent rescue of the 100,000 people adrift in the Star Realm. Its excitement came purely from the wonderful and powerful knowledge of creation opened to him at the R-9 base and the trust it finally gained from Governor Morphy, allowing it to participate in such high-level secret plans.
