Players’ NPC daddy

But Theresa was a person from the Age of Gods, and caution was her nature. Not taking precautions might cost her her life, so when she prepared the [Emergency Escape Device], she was already prepared to deal with such a situation.

Several goblin shamans who had been prepared immediately used ice magic, summoning a large amount of wind and snow to submerge Theresa. Unfortunately, Theresa's situation was worse than she had expected. She rolled all the way and turned into a snowball, finally stopping after crashing into the altar.

The old lion opened his eyes, glanced at it, and then closed them again, seemingly too lazy to pay attention.

But when it thought that Blaze might know its indifference, it reluctantly stood up and swung its tail at Snowball.

The snowball exploded, revealing Theresa inside, and the goblin shamans hurriedly surrounded her.

"It's just like a broken puppet." The old lion commented lightly and walked away with his tail wagging. "And he's smiling so happily."

……

When Theresa woke up, the surrounding environment had changed. It was now the palace of Camelot, and Blaze and Chiron were sitting aside waiting for her to wake up and also waiting for her to explain the situation.

According to Theresa's explanation, Merlin, the Ark's AI, has already been confirmed to be an enemy, and is still planning to complete the Mechanical Titan Project. The missing two-thirds of the Ark's wreckage may have been arranged, waiting for the birth of the white dragon Vortigern.

"Really?" Blaze rested his chin on his hand. His instinct told him that Theresa was lying. She wanted him to focus on making Merlin his enemy. Only in this way could she do something in secret.

To be honest, Theresa was being a little obvious.

"Well, at least give me a hint. When will Merlin launch a large-scale attack, or start a war to summon the white dragon Vortigern?"

"At least not in the near future. He also needs time to call on the city-states and kingdoms to form an alliance. Relying on foreigners alone is not enough."

In fact, if Merlin's goal was to summon the white dragon Vortigern instead of conquering Camelot, the stranger's actual role would not be in the war.

Summoning the white dragon Vortigern requires the emotions that people have because of the war, the emotions that have carved the shape of the white dragon Vortigern over thousands of years, and the strangers... to be honest, they have always been happy and festive.

The greatest benefit of recruiting foreigners for war activities is to eliminate fear and make the city lord, king, soldiers and civilians realize that Camelot no longer has so many foreigners as an army. Only in this way will the soldiers have the courage to charge into battle.

Now all that was left for them was to stay put, prepare as much as possible, and wait for Merlin to make his move.

After Blaze left, Chiron stayed and maintained Theresa, whose entire body was covered in damage from the Age of Gods technology.

Theresa pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You must have something you want to say to me that you can't say in front of Blaze." Chiron skillfully changed Theresa's body equipment. He had noticed that Theresa seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"I want you to cooperate with me to do something dangerous."

"can."

"Don't you even think about it?"

"My mission is to protect humanity and prevent its interests from being harmed." Chiron's expression was gentle, yet somewhat helpless. "I know what you're worried about. Is it the Omnic Crisis? After the strangers learned my identity, they often mentioned it to me."

"But I have to say, I don't think this is a constraint. How many intelligent beings know clearly what they should do and the bottom line they absolutely must not cross? I'm proud of knowing this."

"You... really have a soul." Theresa smiled bitterly, then patted her face and quickly cheered up.

"I explored the wreckage of the Ark. As expected, all the wreckage has been controlled by the Ark AI. Unless we directly enter its thinking core, we don't even know what it has done."

"But you definitely didn't return in vain."

Theresa opened her abdomen and took out several small cubes.

"This is the work log of the sweeping robot. This data is saved independently. It is just like junk information to Ark AI. However, it is quite old and needs to be maintained before the content can be read."

"Perhaps we can find some useful information from it."

"give it to me."

……

[Abyss Hunting Festival]

This is a large-scale event held by the Giant Kingdom Alliance. Although it is not the infinite pool of the previous Christmas, it is still large in scale.

[Hermes's Traveling Cap] is only comparable to the Kingdom, but the Giant Kingdom Alliance is the second largest empire in the true sense. Just the large number of prop house exchange points distributed in the territory of the Giant Kingdom Alliance alone, without the need for crowded queues, is something that [Hermes's Traveling Cap] cannot compare to.

Not to mention that the entire activity target is the third column of plates in today's World U, the world that was once a vertical hell.

The reason why this major event is so popular is mostly because the players themselves are the beneficiaries.

After building a long world barrier, players are a little frustrated. While enjoying the convenience of automatically increasing reputation through the world barrier, they also have to check in at their own barrier every day.

Although there are NPCs on the barriers to help defend the city, they are not like players who can easily defeat the attacking monsters. Even if the barriers can occasionally take care of each other, it is impossible for them to be unscathed every time.

Over time, the barriers began to wear out, and in order to prevent their barriers from being breached, the players had to check on the barriers every day.

However, most players are open-minded and believe that if you want to gain something, you have to lose something. However, this does not prevent them from greeting the ancestors of the abyss monsters on a daily basis, among which the abyss spiders are the most greeted.

Abyss spiders not only have super fast movement speed, but also super fast wall climbing speed and the ability to spray spider silk, which is simply a barrier killer. In addition, abyss spiders will lay their eggs in spider silk and spray them on the wall. Once these eggs hatch, densely packed small spiders will climb up the wall, which can be called a hell map.

This hunting festival invites other players to help clear these monsters. They don’t have to pay any price, and all expenses are paid by the Giant Kingdom Alliance.

Therefore, players who have such needs spare no effort to help promote the event, hype up the event, and even act as quest NPCs, promoting how easy it is to refresh monsters in their own barriers.

This great event was in full swing, and the swaying shadows of this fiery event began to shake, like two fighting beasts.

Chapter 1250 The War is About to Begin

While the [Abyss Hunting Festival] was in full swing, warm-up activities for two war activities appeared one after another.

Although it is not as popular as [Abyss Hunting Festival], it has received a lot of discussion.

[Red Dragon Army Recruiting Order] and [Camelot Recruiting Order].

[Camelot Recruitment] is not unfamiliar. This warm-up event appeared a week after Camelot emerged and the white dragon Vortigern was defeated. What followed was the continuous ranking list of Knights, which recruited a large number of players to become Knights of Camelot.

However, not long after this warm-up event, the war event had no end, because too many players gathered, to the extent that they were everywhere, and the city-states in the third kingdom area surrendered faster than the players came.

There's no way, the Eternal Queen revealed by the Fairy Kingdom is just too attractive.

It would undoubtedly be foolish to make an enemy of Camelot in the Third Kingdom, so the call for action does not require any subsequent war activities.

Although there had been several rebellions in the city-state kingdoms in the Third Kingdom region, which were all quickly resolved, this time it seemed that it was not simply a matter of being forced into a corner or having confidence.

[Red Dragon Army Call]

[All warriors who have suffered under the oppression of the Everqueen! Can you hear the wailing of the land? ]

[Put on this red dragon, become the righteous army lost in history to liberate this land, to save those oppressed people, to defeat the evil witch who usurped the country! ]

Except for Camelot, all the city-states issued calls for war activities at the same time. This is a very interesting thing. The players are not blind. They know that these city-states were bullied like grandsons before and did not say a word, but now they have the courage to unite and resist.

A little discussion in the forum will explain why.

When the players in the Knight Ranking act as minions of the Eternal Queen to oppress those city-states, the people in the city-states can also feel that the players are also being oppressed. People in the same situation can always smell the scent of sympathy.

In the recent Battle of Ten Thousand Ships, the mighty Camelot Navy suffered a great loss.

Not all players have such a good mentality. They would feel angry if they saw the ship they worked so hard to build sink, not to mention that this time the entire army's attack was all because of the [Eternal Queen's personal desire].

Some players more or less feel like the dukes who are being fooled in the game of war, and they don't quit the knight rankings immediately because they are reluctant to give up the list they have climbed for almost a year.

Now that the [Red Dragon Recruitment] has been released, it is clear that the goal is to overthrow the Eternal Kingdom and establish a new monarchy. Players who have complaints will use this event as a vent.

Not to mention, the benefits of this [Red Dragon Recruitment] are quite good. Once you join, you can get the [Red Dragon Cloak], which is worth it even if you work hard in the knight rankings and are bullied for a long time, only to be told [Insufficient stock now, you have to queue up. If you want to cut in line, you have to work harder].

I heard that in order to make all players who responded to the call eligible to wear the [Red Dragon Cloak], the city lords and kings frantically granted the players the knight profession, and they are risking their lives to recruit players.

Although the [Knights] of small city-states and kingdoms lack potential, for ordinary players, it is still a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain high-level rare professions. The arms of those city lords and kings will probably be broken.

However, most of the players are in a wait-and-see state. Firstly, the scale of the [Abyss Hunting Festival] is very large and lively. Secondly, the nature of the [Abyss Hunting Festival] is actually that the Giant Kingdom Alliance helps players clear monsters outside the barrier at their own expense, so the atmosphere of the event is very good and comfortable, and [Red Dragon Call]...

The atmosphere is quite violent. There are already many extreme remarks in the event forum organized by the players themselves. You can imagine what it will be like during the official event.

It is worth mentioning that since this is just a registration event, there is nothing to do after registration until the war event officially begins. Therefore, the most ridiculous thing the NPC who organized the [Red Dragon Recruitment] did was to let players who received the Red Dragon Cloak participate in the [Abyss Hunting Festival].

This actually makes sense. The barrier within the territory of the Third Kingdom is also a key location, and using [Help] can be regarded as incorporating the barrier area into its own territory.

The players who were helped were also happy to relax and plant flags as they pleased.

Another interesting thing is that the [Fairy Kingdom], known as the pioneer in the forum, actually started to operate in Camelot openly, without concealing its intention to help Camelot prepare for war activities.

This is quite interesting. You have to know that the Fairy Kingdom would never get involved in such events that have no impact on world history. They are always working hard to make the world more interesting.

Some people sighed that the Fairy Kingdom had also changed and participated in this kind of activity. Some people with a keen sense of smell vaguely noticed that perhaps it was not the Fairy Kingdom that had changed, but that they did not realize that some huge changes were slowly approaching.

Camelot became even quieter, and the strangers who used to receive high-paying patrol missions disappeared.

"The city has become even more desolate." Morgan exhaled lightly, and the cold that had not yet passed made her breath turn white.

"How many strangers are there in the Knights' Ranks who are on our side?"

"The numbers are optimistic. Less than one-fifth of the foreigners have dropped out of the knight rankings, but..." Blazer crossed his arms and shook his head. Morgan could guess what he was going to say next without him saying it.

Strangers who have made up their minds to withdraw from the knight rankings will definitely respond to the Red Dragon's call, but those who remain in the rankings may not necessarily respond to Camelot's call.

If we remove the strangers from the knight rankings, the number of strangers who have responded to Camelot's call to action is large so far, but compared to the number of strangers the other side has, it can really be described as very few.

They couldn't expect that the strangers in the knight ranks would automatically show up to help when the Red Dragon rebels attacked without warning.

"There's nothing I can do." Kate Cat pinched her chin and made a decision after a moment's deliberation. "The ace is only an ace when it is played at the right opportunity. Otherwise, it's just a joker."

"I gave up the chance to use the Everqueen's cloak to deal the final blow to the City Lord King. I'm going to put on the cloak now and compete with them for the man!"

……

The Kingdom of Londinium, an ancient kingdom that grew strong during the Eternal King's time by taking advantage of Camelot's lost economy, became the command center for the Red Dragon rebels.

Most of the city lords and kings gathered here for a banquet, eating meat and drinking wine. They did not feel the slightest bit nervous about being rebels, as if they were rebelling against Camelot.

They had been oppressed by Camelot for less than a year, living in fear and looking like each day was a year. Now, they were finally at loggerheads, and since they were not the ones who put in the effort, they had to enjoy themselves now.

Not all the city lords and kings in the rebel alliance showed up. They were relatively weak, and they did not rebel because they could not even survive the oppression. Instead, they were caught between Camelot and the Red Dragon rebels.

The choice given to them by the Red Dragon Rebels was that if they did not join the Red Dragon Rebels they would die immediately.

Balls of light passed through the wall and gathered into the shape of Merlin in the center of the banquet, making his image clearer.

The banquet fell silent because of Merlin's strange appearance. His mouth was full of oil and his face was frozen, not daring to say a word.

Their eyes uncontrollably turned to the throne. The King of Londinium was not sitting on it. Instead, there was another person, a legendary person. This was the reason why they had the courage to form a rebel army but did not dare to resist the legendary wizard.

This legendary wizard was not the amiable old man with a big beard as the legend said. On the contrary, he was extremely cruel and violent. Even the person sitting on the throne was just a puppet created by him.

"Inferior humans." Merlin narrowed his eyes, and the city lord king stood up tremblingly, "The war is about to begin."

Chapter 1251: Desolate

Morgan rarely had the opportunity to sleep in bed, but due to the shortage of fabrics, except for the dress she was wearing, all the fabrics in the Kingdom of Camelot, including curtains and quilts, had been removed.

So she slept on a bed made of only wooden boards all night, and the inexplicable feeling of desolation made her shed tears.

Fortunately, she had her bottom line. When the strangers were about to take away all the books in the library, she fought back desperately and saved them. In order to prevent the strangers from secretly taking the books behind her back, she also put all the books in her room.

The hard wooden board made Morgan toss and turn and unable to sleep, so she simply sat up and walked to the bed with a book in her hand.

With her power sealed, her photographic memory also disappeared, but the upside was that she could read the books she once loved again.

"one two three……"

She knew that the bustling sounds coming from outside the window were the rehearsals of the strangers.

It is said that there is a time difference in the living environment of strangers, so there will always be energetic strangers appearing at any time. Now the strangers are completing a certain exercise according to the requirements of the chainsaw demon [Somado].

It is said to be of great use in the battle against the Red Dragon rebels.

Although Morgan did not have in-depth contact with the strangers, she understood from Blaze's few words that it must be something beyond imagination, and even something as cruel and serious as war would become hilarious.

"it is good!"

Morgan patted his face, put on his round glasses, came to the table and started fiddling with the potion.

With a bang, a tube of a drug that looked lethal was prepared, and Morgan drank it in one gulp without even thinking.

[Morgan Le Fay LV3]

[Summon Holy Sword Z/Potion F/Sleepless F]

"Ugh - this is really a bit unpalatable." Morgan covered his mouth and continued to prepare the potion.

Among the strangers, the fastest record is LV99, and she challenges this record by constantly resetting the level. Morgan once took 25 years to successfully achieve the fastest record of LV52 at the age of 250.

I'm afraid no one can surpass this record. The only one who can beat her is herself. Now she has to make the best use of her time and use her past experience to quickly improve her current level. Only in this way can it come in handy in the next war activities.

A few days later, the large-scale event [Abyss Hunting Festival] was expanded. Due to the massive attack of the players, the abyss environment also launched a counterattack, forming a terrifying group of abyss spiders. There were even rumors that this group of abyss spiders had a source.

Perhaps there is some extraordinary monster hidden in this abyssal terrain.

However, for such a large event, wouldn’t it be justified if there wasn’t a world-class monster at the end?
