Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 135 Murloc Prophet
The wind was high, the waves were rough, the sky was clear, and the blue sea was endless. Standing on the bridge of the Storm Horn, Murphy was in high spirits and excited.
Behind him, there were a total of seventeen large and small warships marching in formation, creating a spectacular scene.
This is my bargaining chip in this troubled time, Murphy thought with satisfaction.
The opening of the Dark Portal also foreshadows the arrival of chaos in the Sky World, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which was the prelude to the entire chaotic world, and the orc army was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke the balance of all forces.
Although the orc army was aggressive in history, conquering the east and the west and almost destroying the Alliance, in fact, they were not as scary as they seemed. Since the planet Draenor was basically a wasteland, the orcs were very lacking in supply capabilities. They had neither a stable follow-up source of troops nor a base to provide food and supplies.
The tribal army was basically a wave of troops, and they adopted a completely bandit-style combat method.
They had to rob for supplies and fight recklessly. There was no clear strategy. They just pushed their F2As all the way from the southern part of the mainland to Beijing.
Such an army may seem terrifying, but it has no staying power. Once its advance is blocked and its strength is exhausted, it will be defeated.
This is indeed the case. In the initial stage, relying on the mobilization of all citizens and the violent fighting power of the orcs who drank the blood of demons, they launched a devastating offensive. However, as the momentum of the attack was gradually dissipated by the complex terrain of the eastern continent and the effective resistance of various alliance forces, the problem of insufficient stamina became apparent.
However, the countries in the alliance had deep foundations, and each country could continuously provide new troops. As the countries in the alliance prepared their armaments and the war machines were fully mobilized, a huge number of troops were gathered. The tribes soon fell into decline in the continuous wars, and were finally defeated after being surrounded and blocked by various forces.
However, despite this, the destruction caused by the orc army is unquestionable. The invasion of the orcs dealt a heavy blow to the Alliance's originally stable rule in the Eastern Kingdoms. Although they won the final victory, the countries of the Alliance were either destroyed into ruins, or suffered heavy losses, or contributed manpower but gained nothing, or fell into isolationism and no longer wanted to participate in the affairs of the Alliance...
The most unfortunate country among all the Alliance countries is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Alterac. Alterac is the only country that was completely destroyed in the two wars. Speaking of this, we have to mention the outrageous behavior of King Aiden, Murphy's cheap father. This guy actually chose to surrender to the orcs when the orcs pushed to Alterac, and let the orc army pass through the border, which almost allowed the orcs to make a comeback.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, supporting the Han Dynasty was politically correct. No matter how much one wanted to usurp the throne, one must never speak out. Yuan Shu was the first to proclaim himself emperor, but he was immediately attacked by everyone and eventually died tragically.
In the history of Azeroth, serving the Alliance is politically correct. Aiden is undoubtedly the Yuan Shu of this world. He was the first king to defect to the Horde. Then the orcs were defeated the following year. As the biggest traitor in the Alliance, King Aiden would naturally be punished and died in unclear circumstances. Alterac also became the only Alliance country that was truly destroyed.
Its base power is divided up among various countries.
After the Horde was defeated, the remaining orc clans remained independent in Azeroth for many years, which is quite similar to the ending of the Yellow Turban Army.
But this time, history will never repeat itself.
Murphy pondered in his heart.
It now seems that the system will try its best to ensure that the plot proceeds according to the original history. In this case, there is a high probability that King Aiden's treason will be staged again. At that time, I can make a call and lead loyal ministers and righteous men to purge the emperor's side, eliminate the evil, give King Aiden a decent face, and correct the historical mistakes by the way.
What he has to do now is to accumulate strength as much as possible in this "Yellow Turban Rebellion", expand his fame, establish his name and prestige, and build good relations with the top leaders of the alliance countries. By then, with the military merit of blocking the tribes and the support of the alliance countries, the throne of king will naturally be within his grasp.
Only by becoming a king, having an army and territory can one maintain a place in the upcoming chaotic times and leave his own name in the history of this world.
Moreover, with the Kingdom of Alterac as a base, he can rely on the strength of the whole country to gain extraordinary power and reach the peak of strength. If he retreats, he can sell noble titles, fiefdoms and castles to make a few small profits. It makes him feel happy just thinking about it.
Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Mercans! Look, there are a lot of mercans in the sea!" A sailor who was looking out on the mast suddenly shouted.
Murphy hurriedly looked towards the sea in the distance and saw fish heads swarming on the sea. Dense fishmen appeared and disappeared in the waves. Thousands of them, their colorful skins were clearly visible in the blue sea , and the scimitars and steel forks in their hands were like a forest in the sea.
Murphy's heart trembled, thinking it was coming.
Although the combat effectiveness of the murlocs is very low, the large numbers of them still make people's scalp tingle.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Notify the fleet to prepare for battle, all artillery in place, knights on deck for defense, and wait for my orders!"
At the order, the soldiers on the ship immediately took action. At this moment, the sound of flowing sea water made Murphy turn his head suddenly. On the deck behind him, a mass of sea water surged up from somewhere, and the sea water gradually gathered into the shape of a fishman with an old face and curly beard, which reminded Murphy of the catfish spirit in Journey to the West.
The soldiers immediately drew their swords and surrounded him, but the murloc began to speak with extremely clear articulation, unlike most murlocs who only knew a few human words.
Gulugala Felfin (Murloc Prophet): "There is no need to be so nervous, Your Highness. I come here with no hostility, but to bring a piece of advice."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Humph, murloc, just say whatever you want to say. I'm listening."
Gulugala Evilfin (Murloc Prophet): "I want to convey to you the voice of the sea - the deep dark water is the burial place of all ignorant people, the terrifying evil god has come, the ancient existence forgotten by the world has awakened, and the indescribable and indescribable will is returning from the abyss.
Don't go any further, human prince, take your fleet and leave this sea, otherwise the sea will swallow you mercilessly."
Murphy thought that what this guy said sounded quite intimidating, but am I so easily fooled? It's indescribable and indescribable. You must have copied the Cthulhu mythology.
By the way, could this guy be a player?
He wanted to test it out, so he immediately asked back.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "So if we keep going, the monster you mentioned will appear?"
Gulugala Felfin (Murloc Prophet): "Yes, when that time comes, you and your people..."
"Haha, that's good. I was just worrying about where to find a BOSS to fight. Since the monster you mentioned is so awesome, it must be a world-class BOSS. I happened bring a fleet with me. If I can defeat a world-class BOSS, it would be absolutely awesome. I'd make a fortune. Hey, buddy, do you know how to lure that monster out? If you do, tell me quickly. After I defeat the BOSS, you will definitely benefit a lot."
