Speculation About the Mysterious Expansion and Meow Brother's Plan to Get Rich Overnight!

Murphy chatted with a group of "content-starved" players on the forum for a while, bringing them good news: a new batch of helmets would be distributed within a month.

He wasn't just making empty promises.

He was certain he could provide new helmets in half a month, because in half a month, the 6,000 armed blood thralls captured from Nordtov would be sent back to Transia.

This had already been confirmed by Lady Palien over in Batasing.

In her confidential report to the lord, Murphy's "chief of provisions" had specifically mentioned this. She said that her newly recruited "informant" in the Winterwolf Legion had been sent to escort the prisoners from the railway construction site in the Great Wilderness back to Transia.

It would take time for so many slaves to return from the freezing Great Wilderness to Transia, and Nordtov still needed to make up for its depleted ranks. Murphy estimated conservatively that it would take at least a month. But as soon as the prisoners returned to Transia, they would count as an increase in the population, and that was what gave Murphy the confidence to make his promise.

There were another 10,000 captured blood thralls in the Plantagenet Kingdom waiting to be sent back, which meant Murphy already had 160 helmets guaranteed to be his.

That would be enough to cover all the "content-starved" players on the forum, and even leave enough to give one to each of those mysterious players.

The various "CGs" they'd recorded with their helmets were being shared nonstop in online groups, bringing in more and more people who'd heard about the game. That
