Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 325: Occupation of the Sacred Relic and Unexpected Visitors
"So many treasures!" Muradin looked at the pile of spoils in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. After that, he patted Murphy's arm excitedly, "I knew that if I acted with you, good things would happen, just like the old times, right Aidan."
Murphy couldn't help but nodded. He had fought the lava earth dragon with Muradin at the beginning. He could still remember it clearly.
Muradin (King of the Hill): "So it's the old rules. The spoils are distributed according to the contributions in the battle. You go first, Aidan, then Uther, then Morgan Lisa, and finally me."
Morgan Lisa was a little dissatisfied, "Why should I be the third one? My two meteor blasts dealt explosive damage."
Uther said, "If Princess Morgan Lisa is unhappy about this, I can take the third one. It is the duty of a paladin to exorcise evil, and we should not be too obsessed with spoils of war."
Uther was so dignified that Morgan Lisa felt a little embarrassed. "Forget it, forget it. I'll take it third. The great holy light you cast is also very helpful. But there are five pieces of equipment. How should we divide them?"
Muradin said as a matter of course: "Of course Aidan will take two, after all, he made the greatest effort."
In this battle, Murphy was undoubtedly the main force. Not only did he summon a group of demons, but he also took on the task of vehicle and dealt extremely high damage. Moreover, if he had not entangled Eranikus and Nekros first, the four people on the ground would not have been able to defeat the main force of the orcs so easily. If Nekros and the green dragon had joined the battle at that time, the orcs would not have been defeated so easily.
Muradin said so, and the two of them couldn't object.
Mo Fei thought that the dwarf was still loyal. He thought about it and decided that he must take the dragon heart. To be honest, the remaining pieces of equipment were not very important to him.
Staffs, off-hand items, daggers, and one-handed swords were not the equipment he needed.
Even if it was a legendary weapon, he already had three of them, so he didn't particularly care.
So without hesitation, "I choose - the heart of Eranikus."
This surprised several people, especially Morgan Lisa. They didn't expect that Murphy would not choose a legendary weapon but a material. No matter how good this material is, can it compare to a legendary weapon?
But she didn't say anything. She looked at the Dragon's Summons with envy. These pieces of equipment were not necessities for her, but relatively speaking, the Dragon's Summons was better, not only because it was a legendary weapon and more valuable, but most importantly, it could be used directly as a magic item when necessary, summoning a group of green dragon souls as cannon fodder, and then switch weapons.
Morgan Lisa thought to herself, it would be great if I could have this thing, but it was a pity that the second choice was Uther. I should have known that I would not be so noble. I thought Aidan would definitely choose Dragon Summoning,...
Uther's second choice surprised everyone a little bit, he actually chose the Emerald Nightmare Scepter.
Uther also explained this, "This weapon exudes an extremely evil and terrible power. I feel it is necessary to take it back to have Archbishop Faol identify and study it. Such an evil weapon must not fall into the hands of the wrong people - I hope you don't mind, Princess Morgan Lisa."
The staff is supposed to be a mage's equipment. Uther's behavior is considered a malicious act of stealing equipment among players. Morgan Lisa was overjoyed and waved her hand in a generous manner, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that thing is ugly and doesn't match my unparalleled beauty. Take it."
When it was Morgan Lisa's turn, she chose Dragon Summoning without hesitation.
Muradin was anxious: "Girl, you are a mage, why are you holding a sword?"
Morgan Lisa chuckled, "A wizard can also use a sword. Look at this sword - how cool it is."
It was Muradin's turn next. Looking at the only remaining Poison Fire Dragon Fang and Fel Eye, Muradin had no choice but to choose the Poison Fire Dragon Fang. This thing was not of much use to him, so he planned to take it back and sell it for money.
The last [Eye of Fel Energy of Eranikus] went to Murphy. This thing was very powerful and was quite usable for him. It was like having an instant fel energy magic. The spell item would not be interrupted by silence or mute skills, so it might work wonders at the critical moment.
It can also summon an Eye of Fel Energy to turn invisible, which is quite useful.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Shouldn't you leave some for Alleria?"
Strictly speaking, Aurelia also played a role in the previous battle, especially the arrow that hit Eranikus's eye.
Muradin said, "Don't worry about her. We killed two orc generals in the previous battle, and she has already shared a lot of good things."
Murphy then realized that, yes, the inheritance of the two orc heroes must be considerable. This way, he would have no psychological burden and could take all the dragon scales with peace of mind.
When several people returned to the battlefield after dividing the spoils, Alleria had already led the Alliance soldiers to completely defeat the gnolls. Without the support of the orcs, these gnolls lost their will to fight. Facing the dragon knights in the sky and the repeated charges of the Royal Cavalry on the ground, they were completely unable to resist and were killed and scattered by the Alliance elite.
After the group reunited, they regrouped their troops, first destroyed the orc camp, and then directly attacked the holy mountain of the gnolls, winning the final victory.
Passing through the gnolls' camp on the mountain ridge, the five people came to the "holy relic".
Looking at the huge stone statue in front of them, several people looked at each other in surprise, thinking it was some good thing, but it turned out to be just a weird stone with a somewhat peculiar shape.
The huge rocks are the black color of basalt, and the diamond-shaped stones standing on the top of the mountain have a very smooth surface.
If it were put into reality, it probably wouldn't even be a third-level tourist attraction.
However, in the world of the sky where supernatural powers are everywhere, these peculiarly shaped stones often possess some special powers.
Uther touched the stone and sensed it for a while with his eyes closed. "I can sense a strange power from this stone, but I'm not sure what it is."
Murphy also touched it, but unfortunately he only had a perception of 10 points and couldn't feel that there was anything special about the stone.
Morgan Lisa also sensed it, and she was more powerful, "This stone seems to contain some elemental power!"
Muradin also touched it. "Ha, yes, it's the element of the earth. I bet this thing can definitely be used to make a very powerful weapon. I say we should transport it away. The people of the Explorers' Association will definitely know how to use it."
[System prompt: You and your companions successfully defeated the orcs, occupied the Green Shade Mountains, and gained ownership of this area. You have seized the holy relic of the gnolls. As the winner of this battle, you have priority. Please decide how to deal with this holy relic.
Choice 1: Seize the Relic. The local gnoll tribe will regard you as conquerors and join the Alliance to fight against the orcs. The strategic advantage of the Alliance in the wetlands will be improved, and your reputation in the Alliance will be improved due to the perfect completion of the task.
Choice 2: Seize the Relic. Send soldiers to transport the relic to the Explorers Guild in Ironforge for safekeeping. The Explorers Guild will mail you a special reward after the research results are obtained. The quality of the reward depends on the final research results.
Choice 3: Destroy the relic. Completely destroying this relic will deal a heavy blow to the local gnoll tribe, and they will completely lose their will to fight. The recommended adventure level of the Green Shade Mountains will be reduced from 20-30 to 10-15, the monster density in the area will be adjusted from 'high' to 'low', and leader-level gnolls will no longer spawn. Since you have improved local security and reduced business risks, the Union Chamber of Commerce in the Wetlands will offer you a 20% discount on your purchases.]
Murphy hesitated for a moment, but decided to occupy the holy relic. The most important thing in the current situation was to defeat the orcs. Although these gnolls were not strong in combat, they were local natives and were very helpful in preventing the orcs' attacks.
Although reputation rewards are not very attractive, sometimes you have to consider the overall situation.
"Everyone, I think we should seize this creature to control the local gnoll tribe. This will be beneficial to our upcoming war."
Uther nodded. "I think so."
Muradin said helplessly: "Well, you are right."
As he spoke, Muradin placed an Alliance flag next to the relic.
At this time, the fleeing jackals gathered together timidly and watched from afar.
Murphy walked to the holy stone and shouted, "Gnolls, this holy object will be guarded by our alliance from today on. If you still want to sacrifice to your gods, then offer your loyalty to the alliance."
After hearing Murphy's words, the gnolls made a commotion, and soon a gnoll shaman covered with feather ornaments came out.
Muller Irontooth (Gnoll Shaman): "Great human, the Mosshide Gnolls are willing to serve you. As long as you don't destroy our sacred objects, we are willing to help you fight against those green orcs."
Muller Irontooth was a skeleton-level mini-BOSS. As the color of the name above the mini-BOSS's head turned green, symbolizing the alliance relationship, the battle came to a perfect end.
Murphy left a team of soldiers to guard the sacred object and then led his troops back to the camp.
In the future, farmers from the alliance will naturally come here to build strongholds and send soldiers to guard and occupy them, but that will no longer be their business.
On the way back, with nothing to do, Murphy finally made a choice about his new specialty.
He really wanted to choose the [War Dragon] specialty at first. This specialty would undoubtedly provide the greatest improvement to his current combat power. If he could carry five epic mage heroes, his combat power would absolutely be off the charts.
However, he discovered something very embarrassing. This specialty happened to conflict with his specialty [Lone Warrior]. The Lone Warrior required that he had to face the enemy alone to be effective, while the War Dragon required the cooperation of teammates. It was really embarrassing.
Moreover, Murphy always felt that being someone's mount was a bit cheap.
Of course, the most important thing is to find a bunch of strong teammates to cooperate with in order to make use of this expertise, and they must be ranged professions. The problem is that it is not so easy to attract high-level and high-rank players, and then you have to share the equipment, so the practicality is not that high.
After struggling between the three, Murphy finally chose the third specialty [Prince of the Rich].
At first glance, this feat doesn't improve combat effectiveness, which seems a bit lame.
However, if you can establish connections with neutral forces such as Booty Bay, Ravenholdt Manor, and Venture Capital Company, it will undoubtedly be much easier for you to do things in the future. To complete the Ancient Dragon Road, you have to kill at least nine ancient dragons, which are not easy to find, but it will be much more convenient with the help of these neutral forces.
What is the most valuable thing in the game - intelligence.
Of course we must seize the first-hand intelligence we can obtain; sometimes it is more powerful than directly improving our combat effectiveness.
When the group returned to the camp, they were welcomed by warm cheers from the soldiers and adventurers.
As we walked along, soldiers on both sides saluted and cheered. This special effect will be triggered when we win a large mini battle, which feels quite exciting.
However, the way some people looked at Murphy made him feel a little uneasy.
Especially those adventurers, who were pointing at the avatar above his head and talking about something, which made Murphy feel a chill in his heart.
A yellow name popping up among a group of green names was somewhat eye-catching, and adventurers were creatures without any rules. He might form a group to beat him up any day. Plus, Godwin didn't get along well with him, so Murphy didn't bring more adventurers to the camp.
Murphy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the military camp in Alterac.
Looking at the heavily guarded soldiers of the Dragon Knights, this is his territory. With so many powerful subordinates, he is not afraid even if a thousand or eight hundred adventurers come.
Sieglet and Dara Bangba were a little surprised to see Murphy coming back.
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "Fuck, brother, why are you uncredited?"
Murphy was also somewhat helpless, "Don't mention it, he has turned evil."
Sigurd patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"This is no joke. I'll have to find a way to clear myself of this. When I was doing the Eternal Dark Moon quest, I was neutral for a while. I was targeted by adventurers every day and died several times. Fortunately, those adventurers couldn't kill me for plot reasons, but two pieces of equipment dropped from me, which was really frustrating."
Murphy was a little surprised, "What, you were neutral before, how come I didn't know about that?"
"Alas, it's all old news. I quickly cleared myself of the rumors."
"How did you clean it?"
"Do justice missions. They're not the kind that involve fighting between the Alliance and the Horde. They're the kind that have a clear tendency toward good or evil, like eliminating cultist strongholds, destroying the evil god's altar, and rescuing a girl kidnapped by a black wizard. Some missions will give extra justice points as rewards, but I'm not sure how they're determined. Anyway, it's quite troublesome. Do a few more and you'll be lucky enough to get one."
Murphy nodded and went back to pick up a few more.
Sigurd (Prince of Alterac): "By the way, someone was looking for you just now."
"Hmm? Who?"
"A goblin."
Goblin... Mo Fei thought to himself that it was either the Rustwater Cartel or a venture capital company. This was really fast.
He nodded and entered the military camp. As soon as he entered the hall of the military camp, he saw a green-skinned goblin pacing back and forth in a hurry. When he saw him, he immediately came up to him enthusiastically.
Ralph (Manager of Venture Capital Company): "Hello, noble and wealthy Prince Aidan, I am Ralph, a special agent of Venture Capital Company, and it is an honor to meet you."
The goblin in front of him was completely different from the ones Murphy had seen before. When he was still a black dragon, he had many goblin servants under him. In the Sky World, goblins are very common and weak monsters like ogres. Any monster with a little strength can capture a group of goblins as minions. Although they have no combat power, they are easy to control and can do various odd jobs. They are basically cannon fodder.
However, the goblin in front of him was obviously different. Not only was there a shrewd look in his eyes, but he was also wearing a decent black suit and single-sided glasses.
But I don't know what this venture capital company wants to do with me? Is it to solicit investment?
