Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 318 Dragon Tamer
Although Murphy was somewhat tempted to meet his old friend, he thought that the war was imminent and there were mini battles to fight every day. It was important to gain military merits, so there was no need to rush.
My dear sister, you should stay in the black dragon's lair for a few more days. Murphy knows Summerfield quite well. Although he is a little fickle for the dragon and does all kinds of evil things like murder and arson, he is still very considerate to beautiful girls.
He sighed for a while, but did not say what he was thinking.
Sieglet struggled with this task for a while, but had no choice but to give up. It was too difficult, and he had no idea where the dragon's nest was.
The three chatted for a while and then decided to go to the Alliance Hall to see how the battle went today.
The three men rode their horses/wolves all the way through the coalition camp and arrived at the Alliance Parliament Hall located in the center of the camp. As soon as they entered the door, they felt a tense atmosphere.
There was tight security outside the hall, and the heroes and lords inside the hall all had solemn expressions.
They were pointing and discussing something around the strategic map.
"What happened?" Murphy grabbed a lord of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and asked.
Orland (Lord of Leidenburg): "Our brave Prince of Lordaeron died heroically in today's battle." As he said this, a few tears fell from his eyes.
"Uh..." Murphy thought to himself, there are more than forty princes in Lordaeron, so it's no big deal if one of them dies.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Which prince died?"
Orland (Lord of Leidenburg): "The thirty-third, thirty-fourth, and thirty-fifth princes died together in the Green Mountains."
What, three princes died at once!
Murphy thought to himself, wow, this loss is quite heavy. Although there are enough princes of Lordaeron, they cannot die like this. Besides, the war hasn't started yet. This is just foreplay. No wonder the atmosphere is so solemn.
The key point is that the princes of Lordaeron are all wealthy tycoons, all starting from the first-level gold. That is to say, the weakest ones are all heroes of the first-level gold, which costs 2.5 million. Adding the identity of the princes of Lordaeron, that is 7.5 million. Three of them died at once, and more than 20 million were gone in just this morning. It is a bit outrageous.
"what is going on?"
Lord Orlando did not take the trouble to introduce Murphy while wiping his tears. His tone was passionate, and it was obvious that he wanted to justify the death of his own prince.
A total of seven mini-battles took place this morning, including one large battle, two medium battles, and four small battles.
Murphy took on a small battle, leading a force of 1,000 people to fight for the ownership of the Misty Mine.
He likes to take on small battles. If it's one-on-one, it's easier to fight without the burden of teammates.
He never touches large-scale battles. The main reason is that his teammates are too weak. If he teams up with Darabangba Sigret, it will be dangerous if he encounters a strong enemy.
So today's large-scale battle is taken up by three princes of Lordaeron, commonly known as the three rows, and there are two other lords in charge of leading the troops.
The content of the battle is to capture a mountain where a werewolf tribe is stationed. It is said that there is a stone statue on the top of the mountain, which is the sacred object of the werewolf tribe. Capturing this stone statue can force the werewolf tribe to join our camp.
The battle reward is a troop composed of exclusive soldiers of the Gnoll tribe, or a powerful holy relic.
This kind of battle is usually launched by both the Alliance and the Horde at the same time, and both sides send out heroic troops. Whoever wins can increase the strategic advantage for their camp.
Three gold-rank heroes went into battle, and the troops they led were all level three and four soldiers. They not only had the Royal Knights of Lordaeron and the Battle Mage Regiment, but also had dozens of Griffin Knights to assist them. With such a lineup, they believed that it would be easy to capture the enemy.
I didn't expect that they would be gone within less than an hour of entering the campaign map. Even the soldiers were all killed, not a single one escaped. As for how they disappeared, no one knew.
All we know is that there was a terrifying roar coming from the mountain at that time, and the entire mountain was set on fire by the flames of evil energy. It was obvious that the evil orcs had cast some kind of forbidden evil spell...
Lord Orland was describing what had happened before with great passion.
Suddenly, with a bang, the door of the parliament hall was pushed open, and a man with a look of grief and anger rushed in.
Murphy took a glance and was surprised to find that this person was only level one.
Comeback (Royal Knight of Lordaeron) Gold Tier 1, Level 1. HP: 550.
The man walked straight up to Godwin and shouted, "Brother, you have to avenge my father."
Who is this person? Everyone in the parliament hall looked at him in surprise.
Godwin had a strange expression on his face and explained, "This is the son of my thirty-third brother who died in the battle, Sir Menethil. He heard about his father's heroic sacrifice, so he came here specially..."
The son of the thirty-third prince? Murphy immediately realized that this must be the thirty-third prince creating a new account. No wonder it is called a comeback.
He is indeed a rich man. A first-level gold blank account, even if he does not have the identity of a prince, costs two and a half million. He bought it without any hesitation. He is so rich.
After introducing himself, Godwin tried to look serious and asked, "Who killed you - er, I mean, your father?"
"Nekros Skullcrusher!"
Nekros? Who is this guy?
Everyone was at a loss. There was nothing they could do. There were only a few famous Horde heroes: Thrall, Gul'dan, Hellscream, the Saurfang brothers, Orgrim, Durotan...
There were also the chieftains of the larger tribes, but Nekros? I had no impression of him at all.
But there are still some people who know what’s going on.
Adrian (Prince of Stromgarde): "Nekros Skullcrusher is a high-level warlock of the Dragonmaw clan, but he does not belong to the Shadow Council faction. The most famous thing he did in history was to use the Dragon Soul to control the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, making the red dragon clan a war weapon for the tribe.
But logically speaking, he shouldn't have gotten the Dragon Soul yet."
Comeback (Royal Knight of Lordaeron) "No, he should have gotten it. Today on the battlefield, he controlled a green dragon, such a big one, it should be an ancient green dragon. This guy rode a dragon to fight us, and brought a group of little dragons with him. We have no way to deal with it. Even the Griffin Knights can't beat it together. How can he bully us like this!
Everyone was shocked. He actually controlled the green dragon. Could it be that he really had the dragon soul? That was not good.
The Dragon Soul can control the guardian dragons except the black dragon. With this thing, the tribe has a huge air advantage. How can they fight?
At this moment someone suddenly interrupted.
Voldemort (Shadow Wizard): "What's the name of that green dragon? Is it Eranikus?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Voldemort (Shadow Wizard): "Yes, it is indeed it. I didn't expect the rumor to be true... Don't worry, the tribe probably hasn't got the Dragon Soul yet. The tribe just caught this green dragon.
A month ago, I saw a post on the forum from a Horde adventurer, saying that the Horde had captured the Temple of Atal'Hakkar and captured the green dragon boss inside, which should be the one that the princes encountered.
After saying that, Voldemort explained to everyone the origin of Eranikus and what the Temple of Atal'Hakkar was all about.
A thousand years ago, the mighty Gurubashi Empire was torn apart by civil war. A group of high-ranking troll priests called the Atal'ai attempted to summon an ancient bloody deity called Hakkar the Soulflayer.
Though these troll priests were eventually defeated and exiled, the great troll empire was still torn apart by civil strife.
The exiled troll priests fled to the Swamp of Sorrows in the north, where they built a massive temple for the Blood God Hakkar and attempted to perform an evil summoning ritual to return him to the material world.
The guardian dragon, the green dragon queen Ysera, learned of Atal'ai's conspiracy and led a group of dragons to attack the temple under the swamp, stopping the ceremony that was about to be completed and killing the troll priests.
But the matter did not end there, these troll priests used some unknown evil method to preserve themselves in the form of souls or mummies, and kept trying to complete the remaining rituals.
To this day, the flooded ruins of the temple are still guarded by green dragons, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. However, some believe that some fanatical Atal'ai survived Ysera's wrath and still worship the evil Hakkar...
These are all official background records.
Speaking of which, Eranikus was also unlucky. He was one of the spouses of the green dragon queen Ysera, and was also a relatively powerful green dragon lord. After Ysera left, she sent him to lead his dragon sons and grandsons to Atal'Hakkar to suppress the body of the blood god Hakkar. As a result, the troll undead in the temple kept resurrecting and fighting the green dragons.
He even secretly performed a second summoning. Although the ceremony was interrupted by Eranikus at the critical moment, the soul projection of the blood god Hakkar still appeared briefly and cast a terrible curse on Eranikus.
As a result
I don't know how Nikelus controlled this guy...
Upon hearing this, Murphy thought that these princes deserved to die. In history, Nekros was able to obtain the Dragon Soul, which made him a villain boss with some status. His own strength was not weak. With the addition of an ancient green dragon, he could have beaten the three princes. This was like hitting a wall.
Wait a minute, wetlands, Dragon Soul, Nekros.
Murphy hurriedly picked up the map and started looking at it, but his eyes fell on a shadowy area in the mountains east of the wetlands - Grim Batol.
Historically, after Nekros obtained the Dragon Soul and controlled the Red Dragon Queen, he imprisoned her in Grim Batol. So, even if he hasn't obtained the Dragon Soul yet, he will soon.
Godwin seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and spoke immediately.
Godwin (Regent of Lordaeron): "We must retake the Green Mountains, which is the highest point in the wetlands. Once the enemy occupies it, they can monitor the surrounding areas from a high position. Our offensive actions will be exposed and there will be no secrets.
And to the east of the Greenshade Mountains is the cursed ancient dwarf city of Grim Batol. Although it has been abandoned, it is a solid fortress. If the enemy occupies Grim Batol, it will become a serious problem that is difficult to eliminate.
Everyone, who is willing to lead the troops to retake the Green Shade Mountains? "
[System prompt: Trigger the large mini-campaign 'Battle of Green Shady Mountain' to retake the Green Shady Mountain Range. This campaign is a branch event of the large plot event [Second Orc War]... You can intervene in this branch event by talking to the initiator of the campaign. ]
After hearing Godwin's words, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to respond.
The bronze and silver heroes and lords kept silent, thinking that whoever wanted to go to such an iron plate could go, wouldn't it be nice to go to a small battlefield and get some kills? Who wants to go there to die?
Someone whispered, "The Green Dragon isn't a hero, how can he join the battle?"
Someone speculated that "Green dragons should be considered war beasts. According to the rules of the game, war beasts occupy 100 population and are combat units of the military."
"Damn, isn't this cheating? Doesn't that mean there are four more orc heroes and a lord on the other side?"
"Don't we have war beasts in our alliance?"
"That thing requires certain conditions."
Murphy was somewhat tempted, mainly because things had been going so smoothly for him recently without any challenges, and it was so hard for him to meet a strong enemy.
And as for the ancient green dragon, he was somewhat confident, as long as it was not an ancient dragon.
"Are you sure it's the ancient green dragon?" he asked Dongshan Zaiqi who was standing beside him.
"It should be. That size looks scary."
"Didn't you see the suffix of his name?"
"I saw it, but what was displayed was - Eranikus (the Fel Flame Dragon King)."
Hmm? What the hell is the Fel Flame Dragon King?
"Wait a minute, is the breath it spits poisonous?"
"It's not poisonous fog, it's evil flame."
Damn, Murphy was shocked. Could it be that this guy was transformed by evil energy? It seems that there is no escape.
However, the fact that it was able to obtain the title of Dragon King shows that there is more than one transformed green dragon. Only when a clan appears will an individual with the title of Dragon King appear. It should be the strongest of these transformed evil dragons at present.
He touched his pocket. It was Sargeras' Ring of Domination. This thing had the function of fel energy transformation, which could change the energy type of a creature into a fel creature.
When I first transformed into a dragon, I was struggling over whether or not to transform into evil energy.
This Nekros has some skills. He can actually turn an ancient green dragon into fel energy without any artifacts.
Orlando (Elven Ranger Lord): "Damn, I think this is a conspiracy by the game company. They sent these awesome heroes to kill us all and make us start over. I won't go. It's safer to follow the big group and gain experience."
Carlos (Prince of Gilneas): "Yes, yes, whoever wants to go can go."
Murphy was also hesitating. Strictly speaking, fighting this kind of mini battle was less profitable than playing a plot event. Even if you won, you wouldn't get many plot points, and if you lost, there was a high probability of dying.
The biggest reward is actually the exclusive reward that can be obtained on the battlefield after winning, especially in large-scale battles. It is said that there is a chance to obtain a magic weapon... Although Murphy thinks that it may just be a promotion by the game company.
In general, the risks and rewards are very high. If you don't have the strength, it's better not to join in and die. Maybe it really is a conspiracy of the game company. Otherwise, why do we have to have mini battles? Can't everyone go out together, with dozens of heroic lords leading their troops at a time, so that they can be taken care of.
However, there are always stubborn people who say, "I'll take this job! Who's interested in joining me?"
