Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 400: Evil Plan ABC
Heavy footsteps stepped across the wasteland covered with ash and ruins, and the cold boots crushed the rubble and fragments of bones.
On the road leading to the Frozen Throne, everyone was walking quickly forward.
The Wyrmrest Alliance only destroyed the Undead defenders around the Frozen Throne, but in the surrounding valleys, fortresses, and strongholds, there are still large numbers of Undead who are ready to come to support the Lich King at any time and fill the gaps in the defense line.
They only have this one chance to completely destroy the Lich King and seize the Crown of Domination.
In order to prevent being controlled, Varian did not use Frostmourne, but held Salamani high and rushed forward bravely.
The adventurers and Stormwind soldiers who followed him followed closely behind, advancing without stopping.
Facts proved that his plan was very successful. He rushed all the way without encountering any decent obstacles. All the elite undead guarding the place were buried in the dragon fire. Only a few undead who survived the dragon fire crawled out in a daze, but were easily killed in seconds by the adventurers' concentrated fire.
In less than twenty minutes, the team arrived at the entrance of the Frozen Throne.
Looking at the towering icy peak and the dark gate in front of him, Varian took a deep breath.
"Everyone, this is where the Lich King is hiding. This is also the moment of the final battle. Follow me and charge in. There is no fear, no retreat, only victory - kill!"
Boom! The gate made of Saronite was destroyed with a loud bang. The expeditionary army rushed in and passed through a short passage. A light curtain of a copy suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
There really is a copy! Varian thought with some regret.
It's still a 100-person difficulty copy.
After all, it was impossible to bring all of these more than a thousand people in.
But it's also okay. Although the number of soldiers will be limited when fighting in a dungeon, the enemy will not be able to concentrate its forces. It can only be said that each has its advantages and disadvantages. For the expeditionary force with limited manpower, it is a good thing in a sense.
Varian turned around and glanced at the people behind him. "Master Kel'Thuzad, Princess Elsa, and those adventurers who have confirmed their identities, let's go in!"
Three heroes and 85 adventurers rushed into the light curtain together.
Entering the light curtain, there is a huge square in front of you. In front of you is the main body of the Frozen Throne. Looking upwards, you can see the gloomy ice peak shell and winding passages.
The Frozen Throne is a huge mountain that spirals upward, with a layer of frost covering the outside, forming a fortress-like shape.
At this time, they were in an open space at the foot of a towering mountain. In front of the ramp , a death knight wearing heavy armor led a team of Vikus dead guards to guard there.
When Varian and everyone entered the warning range, they immediately attracted the other party's attention.
Conan the Barbarian (Lord of Death): "Varian, I didn't expect that you would lead the dragons here, but it's no use. My lord has already foreseen your betrayal. I will completely destroy you here today. You rejected the great gift of the master. What a foolish choice. But it's okay. Now Frostmourne will be mine!"
Varian sneered at the old acquaintance in front of him. He had brought four people from Lordaeron to Northrend to search for the artifact of death. When he first discovered Frostmourne, he wanted to snatch it, but was seriously injured by Varian's sword and fled without a trace. Unexpectedly, he actually defected to the Lich King.
Conan the Barbarian (Lord of Death): World-class BOSS level 1, level 90, HP 340,000.
As the saying goes, a villain who turns evil is ten times stronger. Conan the Barbarian was no match for Varian in the beginning, but now that he has become the BOSS, and with the attribute enhancement of the 100-man group dungeon, he has the strength to stand on his own.
Varian (Storm Prince): "You chose to join the Lich King... Haha, there is really no surprise here. I want to see how much stronger you can be than last time after gaining the power of death - then come on!"
The battle started instantly...
at the same time--
In the inn of Winterfell.
Meng Meng Da Nai (Holy Priest): "Do you think Varian got Frostmourne?"
Phoenix (Holy Light Messenger): "I think he probably got it, but he just didn't want to expose it. I didn't expect that these NPCs have become smarter now."
Kaya Windrunner (Bright Ranger): "It's not surprising. Plot characters, especially the more famous ones, are actually very intelligent. My three sisters, for example, often test me, which makes me a little neurotic."
The three hero players who originally had a bad relationship with each other were now unusually familiar with each other. If Murphy saw it, he would probably be surprised.
Cute Big Tits (Holy Priest): "Should we go back to the church and report the situation?"
Phoenix (Holy Light Messenger): "I think it's best to wait until we have definite news, otherwise if they don't give us rewards, it will be a waste of time. By the way, have you noticed that Aidan seems to have turned evil?"
Cute Big Boobs (Holy Priest): "Yeah, I found out too. I was shocked when I left the dungeon. This guy is actually the BOSS now. Do you think we should—"
Mengmeng Big Breasts said this and made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Kaya Windrunner (Bright Ranger): "No, we just finished a story campaign together. It would be unkind to start a fight now."
Phoenix (Lightbringer): "Yeah, and I don't think the three of us can take him down."
Cute Big Boobs (Holy Priest): "What are you afraid of? You can let the adventurer go first. If there's a chance, we'll take action. If there's no chance, forget it. If it succeeds, at least we can level up. Besides, that kid has a lot of magical equipment on him..."
…
A-choo! Murphy sneezed, looking at the biting cold wind blowing in from the window, thinking that this damn place, Northrend, was really freezing cold.
The knight behind him is reporting the situation.
Frederick (Dragon Thunder Knight): "Prince Aidan, there are many rumors about you in the city. People say that you are an evil dragon hidden in the royal family of Alterac, with an ulterior motive, and the real Prince Aidan has been killed long ago.
Some people say that you have had contact with the priests of the Dragon Cult in the Frost Dragon's Lair ... This makes the soldiers very uneasy. "
Murphy turned around and glanced at his men behind him. They looked evasive, and it was obvious that he was one of the people who heard the rumor.
The key is that the red name on my head is too dangerous.
This is really troublesome, Murphy couldn't help but think with a headache. Because he turned evil and became the BOSS, the rescued NPCs on the way back had already started whispering to each other, and the way they looked at him seemed a little strange.
When he arrived in the city, even the residents who were swiped out of the city began to look at him coldly.
Although everyone still recognized him as the city lord, a subtle atmosphere had emerged and Murphy had to make a choice.
As expected, Red Name is not welcomed anywhere he goes. It is only because of his identity as the Lord of Winterfell. Otherwise, if it were any other city in the kingdom, they would probably start fighting as soon as they met.
But the identity of a lord obviously could not guarantee his safety forever. Murphy could not help but look at the selection interface in front of him.
[System prompt: Since your blackening index has reached 70%, you have become an evil boss in the eyes of the Alliance. The additional effect of your heroic specialty [Alterac Congressman], 'Pardon', has been triggered. Please decide whether to use it or not. Please make a choice about the change of your plot identity as soon as possible.
Option 1: Use the amnesty order, claiming that you were commissioned by the Alterac Council to perform a special mission, and that the evil dragon was just your clever disguise. (Your black index will be reset to zero. Although people still have doubts about your identity, at least on the surface, the Alliance is willing to admit that you are a member of the righteous camp, a noble Alterac prince councilor.)
Choice 2: Announce your evil plan A--The power and status of the mortal kingdom are meaningless, only strength is the root of everything, and you refuse to explain the power of the dragon you control. (Trigger the exclusive scenario: The Fall of Dragon Prince Aidan. You gave up your status and position in pursuit of power. You will be transformed into a wild BOSS and embark on the road of pursuing power alone.)
Option 3: Announce your evil plan B - only power is the qualification for being a king, those despicable human lords, elf nobles, and dwarf fools are not qualified to rule the world, the alliance has long been corrupt, and as the controller of the dragon's power, you will conquer and rule the world with your own hands. (Trigger the epic scenario: Aidan's Path to Domination. The soldiers and generals under your command will automatically transform into monsters and bosses, those who refuse to obey will be exiled, and your territory will become a dungeon and adventure map. You and the alliance will become hostile, and trigger the crusade and bounty missions issued by the alliance's top leaders.)
Choice 4: Announce your evil plan C - the gods believed in by mortals are all false gods that are not worth mentioning. Only the Dragon God is the only true God in this world. You will resurrect the Dragon God at all costs and use the power of the Dragon God to destroy the gods and the old world order they created.
(Trigger the legendary scenario: Rise of the Storm Dragon King. You will receive the full support of the Dragon Worship Cult, your soldiers and generals will automatically transform into monsters and bosses, and your territory will become a dungeon and adventure map. This will trigger all official factions to issue crusades and bounty missions against you.
In the process of resurrecting the Dragon God, you will constantly encounter obstructions from the heroes of the justice camp.
You will gain the support and allegiance of all evil forces related to the Dragon God. )】
Murphy was speechless when he saw the option in front of him. Very good and powerful.
Four choices were given at a time.
Each choice is completely different, and you have to make a choice immediately: should you clean up your identity or go the BOSS route?
If you really want to go the BOSS route, which one should take?
Evil Plan A is a solitary option with no worries, but it is impossible for one to take down the ancient dragon due to being alone, so it is obviously not an option.
Evil Plan B is equally troublesome. If he wants to dominate the world of the sky, he may have to take the route of war. He only has so few people under his command, and he may not even be able to start a 100-person group.
As for the evil plan C..., it does fit my path, but isn't it too exaggerated? If I expose my plan directly, there will probably be a lot of people trying to stop me.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears.
[World Announcement: In the year 1439 of the Sky Era, Prince Varian of the Storm led an expeditionary force to attack the Frozen Throne, kicking off the legendary plot campaign [Battle for the Frozen Throne]. In order to find the Death Artifact and to defeat the evil Lich King, a legendary battle is about to unfold...]
What! Murphy was shocked, thinking that Varian was really fierce. It had only been a day since he finished the story campaign of "Dragon Slayer's Elegy", and he had immediately started a new story campaign, a legendary one at that.
Is this going to attack the Lich King? How did this guy do it?
Is there an insider?
Murphy was a little confused for a moment.
However, this incident gave him some inspiration for his current situation.
It is still too dangerous to be a BOSS. Even the Lich King was kicked down before he could even develop much.
You have to know that in the original timeline, the Lich King successfully destroyed the Alliance of Lordaeron and almost destroyed the world.
As a result, it has been exposed now.
Needless to say, it was definitely the players who helped.
If I really turn evil, I will definitely not be able to defend Dragon's Death Keep. It is located in the heart of Alterac, and Alterac City is next to it. By then, people will block the door and attack me every day.
Heroes have too much advantage in mobility. Even an ancient dragon like Polylus was killed by others. It would be useless even if he got the assistance of the Dragon Cult. It is safer to be a hero.
[World Announcement: Storm Prince Varian defeated the Death Lord Conan the Barbarian. This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles...]
Damn, so fast? It's been less than five minutes.
Thinking of this, Murphy has made up his mind.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Gather the soldiers and adventurers, as well as those survivors we have rescued. I have something to explain to them."
Soon people gathered and stood outside the town hall. The second-floor balcony of the town hall was opened. Murphy, with a big red name on his head, walked up to the platform and waved to the people below.
Aidan (Prince Patrank): "I know that there have been rumors about me in the city recently. Many people say that I am an evil dragon, lurking in human society and secretly plotting conspiracies. Some people say that I am in collusion with the Dragon Cult. Some people even say that the real Prince Aidan has died long ago, and now I am just an imposter.
But this is all completely wrong.
I was actually specially assigned by the Council of Alterac to come to Northrend to carry out a special mission. The power of the dragon that I possess is just a special kind of magic, just like the druid's transfiguration. I am an out-and-out human prince - Aidan!
To ensure that there is no misunderstanding, I have in my hand a special pardon issued by Parliament."
[System prompt: Your hero specialty [Alterac Congressman] comes with the bonus effect [National Amnesty] which takes effect, your blackened value is reset to zero, and your BOSS template is automatically converted to a hero template...]
The red name above Murphy's head turned yellow in the blink of an eye, and then turned green.
Dragon Knight: Oh, so that's how it is. That's what I was wondering, how could Prince Aidan be an evil dragon?
Residents of Winterfell: Yes, yes, yes, I said Prince Aidan would not be fake. You bastards, you actually dared to doubt Prince Aidan, you are such a bunch of idiots.
Innkeeper: Haha, now the truth is out. Let's all go away.
The effect of this whitewashing was immediate, and the NPC's eyes towards Murphy changed.
Seeing this change, the adventurers sighed in disappointment, as the BOSS they had been aiming for was gone.
They don't care about the plot background or anything. If you dare to show your health bar, they will kill you. Originally, all the major guilds had already discussed it and planned to find a chance to attack together indoors. Hundreds of people would attack together and they would be killed. Now there is no hope.
Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little annoyed. These bastards really had plans for him.
The cooldown period for this [National Amnesty] is as long as one year, so don’t mess around with it recently.
Just thinking about——
