Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 165: Choice of Plot Route
Aegwynn was impressed. "How do you know this? "
It is obvious that if you want to find out the exact time of the orcs' attack, you must go to the planet Draenor. Only celestial mages like Medivh and Aegwynn have the ability to travel to different worlds.
Aegwynn naturally found it hard to believe that the young prince in front of her could actually obtain information about another world?
Varian (Storm Prince): "I have my own way. The question is how we should deal with this war next."
Murphy thought that maybe a player went undercover among the orcs and heard it.
Varian (Prince of Stormwind): "Father! Do not hesitate any longer. Gather the army immediately. We must reach the Dark Portal one step ahead of others. Only by blocking the orcs there can we protect our country. Otherwise, once the orc army pours into our world, our kingdom will be destroyed."
King Llane was still a little confused for a while. He took in and was a little distracted. "How many people are there in the orc army?"
"There are millions of them."
What! Everyone looked incredulous after hearing this, thinking, what a joke, a million orc army?
You have to know that the total number of troops of the entire alliance is only about one million, and this includes the militias from all over the country. Otherwise, it would be a great achievement for a country to dispatch tens of thousands of troops.
If the entire Storm Kingdom were to mobilize at full strength, it would probably only be able to field an army of about 100,000.
One hundred thousand versus one million, what the hell is this?
"Don't panic, everyone. Although the orcs have a million-strong army, there is only one gate to our world. As long as we block the Dark Portal, it doesn't matter if there are tens of millions of enemies. Don't hesitate any longer, father. If we can't block the Dark Portal, once a million orcs pour into this world, the Storm Kingdom will not be able to resist. Even if we can defend Stormwind City, the territories in other areas will all fall.
People will be slaughtered, we have no other choice."
Second-Hand Lion (Storm Prince): "You are right, father. Let us send out the troops."
Will of the Light (Storm Prince): "Yes, father, Varian is right. We must protect our land and our people."
There are also some other princes in Stormwind Kingdom, but they are different from the brotherly feuds on Arthas' side, and the intrigues on Alterac's side.
Varian's brothers almost all unanimously support their younger brother and unite around him, which makes King Llane particularly jealous - you bunch of rebellious sons don't even respect your father so much.
But now he also realized the seriousness of the matter and had to make a decisive decision.
Ryan (Storm King): "Okay, I hereby declare by order of the King of Storm Kingdom to immediately summon the army of the entire Storm Kingdom. All nobles must lead their troops to join the battle. I will personally lead the Storm Knights to the Dark Gate to resist the attack of the orcs. May the gods be with us.
Dear envoys, I hope you can report everything that happened here to your king as soon as possible, and I also welcome you to go to the Dark Gate with the army and witness the first battle of the war between the Alliance and the orcs with your own eyes. "
"Lortha, I have a mission for you. Although I don't want to see this happen, I cannot allow a hidden threat behind me when I am confronting the orcs. Medivh must be eliminated. I only trust you for this mission. Bring the Storm Assassins and any warriors you can find to get the job done.
Lady Aegwynn - I'm sorry that this has happened, and I hope you can understand my actions."
"I'm sorry too. Don't worry about my feelings. I've prepared myself mentally. In fact, if nothing unexpected had happened, I would have had the chance to completely wipe him out last night."
"What happened?"
"Sargeras and Deathwing have allied themselves."
What! This is another super bombshell.
Everyone present had heard to some extent about the ferocity of Deathwing. From time to time, he would lead the black dragon army to launch dragon disasters. Cities in several countries had been burned by the black dragon's flames.
However, the reasons why the players and NPCs were shocked were completely different.
These players were all a little confused, thinking, what is going on? This script is wrong!
Why did Deathwing show up again?
"So I have to face Medivh and Deathwing at the same time?" Lothar's tone was a little dry, and he thought to himself, King, oh king, you really arranged a good task for me.
The Stormwind Assassins do have many elite assassins. If it's just Medivh, there's still a good chance of killing him. No matter how powerful a Guardian is, he's still just a mortal. It won't be difficult to kill him once he gets close to him.
But what if we add Deathwing?
Let the assassins from Stormwind go up and use daggers to poison Deathwing with backstabs?
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in the ears of everyone present.
[System prompt: Trigger the plot quest [Expedition to the Cursed Land], join the Stormwind army, go to the Cursed Land, and fight against the orc army from another world. This quest is a branch plot of the large-scale plot event [Dark Portal].
Accept this mission and you will be given the plot identity of 'War Envoy'. Your performance in the war will be known to the world, and you will receive a certain number of plot points based on your performance. 】
[System prompt: Trigger the plot quest [Assassination of Medivh], join Duke Lothar's assassination team, and go to Karazhan to assassinate the corrupted Medivh. This quest is a branch plot of the large-scale plot event [Dark Portal].
Accept this mission and you will be given the plot identity of 'Fearless Assassin'. Your performance in this operation will be known to the world, and you will receive a certain number of plot points based on your performance. 】
This is clearly a choice between two plot lines.
Whether to take the route of war or the route of assassination.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon someone made a choice.
Morgan Lisa (Princess of Lordaeron ): "I am willing to go with you, Grand Duke Lothar. As a mage, I would like to experience the power of Medivh, and I have a debt to settle with Deathwing."
She touched her short hair and said fiercely.
Tianxiu (Palace Swordsman): "And me, if Medivh is truly corrupted, I will report all this to my king."
"And me!"
"And me!"
"Me, me, me, count me in."
As soon as they heard that they were going to kill Medivh, the heroes present immediately started signing up.
This is a great opportunity to gain story points. That's the Guardian Medivh, the incarnation of Sargeras. You'll make a fortune if any equipment drops from him. Moreover, there are many treasures hidden in Karazhan. Maybe you can even collect a few magic books and grab a couple of artifacts.
The most interesting thing is that everyone knows this plot, in which Medivh is definitely going to die. Where can you find such a sure-fire plot where you can get rewards? If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
As for Deathwing and the like... maybe it's just an exaggeration. Besides, scripts can't possibly lie.
Sieglet whispered to Murphy, "Brother Aidan, aren't we going?"
Murphy shook his head. "I have other things to do. If you want to go, just sign up. It's all about gaining plot points anyway. It's up to you to choose. But it's best to take both into account. It's best if someone can participate in both storylines."
"Then we won't be polite."
Sieglet raised his hand and said, "Count me in."
Dara Bengba hesitated for a moment, "Then I'd better go to the Dark Portal. It's a good opportunity to gain a war-related specialty. But can you lend me those Knights of the North Wind? A hundred elite cavalrymen can at least play a role on the battlefield."
Murphy and Sieglet did not refuse this. Now that the three of them are allies, they naturally have to help each other.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen heroes signed up to participate in the operation , all of whom were strong men from the diplomatic corps of various countries.
King Ryan was also quite moved.
It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and time reveals a person's true character. The warriors of the Alliance are still very courageous. It seems that I have wronged them. Facing the dangers of the world, it seems that everyone is actively participating.
In fact, most of the people who sign up to go to Karazhan to kill Medivh are players.
Although the Dark Portal is an important plot event, the problem is that on such a large-scale battlefield, a single hero can't really play much of a role, and the plot points that can be earned are definitely limited.
If they are nobles or royals of Storm Kingdom, they can lead their troops to join the war and defeat him, but if they are heroes in the envoy group, they will only have a few guards around them, and there will not be much they can do on the battlefield.
But hunting Medivh is different, because he is the incarnation of the Demon King. As long as you participate, you can leave your name in the plot.
Only a few heroic players like Darabongba chose to go to the Dark Portal with the Stormwind Kingdom's army to watch the battle.
As for the NPCs, most of them felt that it would be safer to follow the army, and they would be able to see the true situation of the orcs more intuitively.
As for going to Karazhan - that's Medivh and Deathwing, isn't that just going to die?
