My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2851 -951: The Unsettled Epilogue

Murphy announced the completion of the main quest’s second chapter, but this does not mean that all matters related to the Black Disaster will instantly settle down after Huggesen’s death.

In fact, according to the messages sent back by Nash’s Bloodclaw Clan, there are still many Wolf Man Rioters running amok in the Polluted Swamp.

Their goal is to escape the pursuit of the garrison and survive through the increasingly perilous Polluted Swamp. However, because the swamp has devoured too many lives recently, its ecology has not stabilized but rather encouraged the growth of carnivorous plants.

The direct consequence is that except for the Avalon Cultists, everyone else entering the swamp will face the same dangers as the Wolf People.

Although the players also have the blessing of the Avalon God, even deploying all the current players could hardly stop the escape of so many Wolf People. Therefore, based on the suggestion of the general staff, Kudell and Maxim held a strategic discussion.

They ultimately agreed not to pursue the fleeing Wolf People in the Polluted Swamp, but instead let them enter the desolate mountain area and coordinate with the Fortress of Courage garrison to annihilate them completely, while sending out new recruits for practice.

However, before that, Murphy must first complete the recapture of Shadow Valley.

This task eventually fell to Chief Nash. After all, being a fellow Wolf Man and having Huggesen’s deathbed letter in hand, it was most fitting for Nash to carry out persuasion and surrender.

At this time, the Wise Wolf Hog, still on the Creation Plain, also agreed with this decision. He saw clearly that once the Kingdom of Jackal people is established in the future, the location of the Bloodclaw Clan will inevitably become a “diplomatic hub”, and Nash must make a significant contribution to Transylvania’s cause to secure his seat as Chieftain in that key position.

This is a rather good opportunity for Nash.

Murphy did not force the short-statured Wolf Man to accept this task but gave him two days to think it over. The coordination of troops between the Maginot Line and the Fortress of Courage also required time, and those tunnels that had once been occupied were now due to be put back to use.

Under this pretext, the Shadow Intelligence Bureau took action once again.

Commander Adel personally led a team back to the vicinity of Shadow Valley to conduct reconnaissance for upcoming operations. A group of vampires flew across the Polluted Swamp under the cover of night, rested at Baphomet Canyon, and then moved through the tunnels to approach their destination, arriving at “New Mejwa Village” before dawn.

Under Adel’s command, the vampire intelligence officers came from various backgrounds, including members of the Prime Blood Vulture Clan, half-elves recruited from Shadow Valley, and shadow elves recruited from Mejewa exiles. Local low-level groups like the Blood Rat Gang in Transylvania have now become an important component of the Shadow Bureau, in addition to several forest elves who were “recruited” during the Maginot Line defensive operation.

All these seem quite normal.

The most astonishing part is that under Adel’s command, there is a group of Goatman Spellcasters who followed Julia and Old Finley to pledge allegiance, as well as some Jackal assassins currently deployed beside Hog.

After a Black Disaster, all of Transylvania’s factions suffered losses, except for the Shadow Bureau, which grew larger than ever.

Although they are currently troubled by a shortage of manpower, at least there are people stationed where the eyes and ears need to be. On the second day after the battle ended, Miss Doris, one of Adel’s right-hand people, took a group on an airship to the Ligurian Peninsula.

This has already formed the framework and execution power expected of a major intelligence organization. Although it’s still a small organization compared to the Thorn Clan and Thieves Guild, Adel’s operational capability is evident.

Her low profile beside Murphy doesn’t mean she lacks strength; she merely enjoys hiding in her master’s shadow.

However, Adel has been feeling a bit uneasy these past few days.

On one hand, the numerous events during this time have not allowed her to rest well for a long time. On the other hand, Veylanther has been staying on the Creation Plain side; clearly, the Spider Girl is doing something related to the Shadow Elves.

Although Adel is not very clear about the inner workings of that affair, she feels she might be impacted by it. After all, no matter how much she resists, the quarter of Shadow Elf blood within her can’t be separated.

They advanced rapidly through the tunnels, moving silently and communicating only through hand signals. After the Transia People evacuated this tunnel area, there were rumors that it was taken over by the Goatman Cultists of Baphomet’s Palace. Therefore, Adel has been very cautious since entering the tunnels, but even so, she fell into a trap about twenty minutes into their journey.

It’s like inadvertently stepping into an area shrouded in mist. When passing the same fork in the road for the second time, Adel immediately halted.

Frowning, she surveyed her surroundings while gripping her Melt Sword at her waist. This must be a range spell used to confuse perception, just the type of trick the Goatman Cultists would pull.

“Stay alert.”

She instructed those following her, and everyone drew their weapons.

E Sister did not order them to split up but prepared to observe the situation on the spot. If their opponent is the Goatman Cultists, then their next step would likely be to drag these vampires into a dreamscape for execution.

That is the domain of the Nightmare Tyrant, where the cultists’ combat power would be boosted to an exaggerated level.
