Volume 4: The Fall of the Dragon Chapter 227: Unexpected Strange Visitor
After hearing what Da Vinci said, Murphy was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even the studio would be helpless.
Varian became even more excited, "We must come up with a new strategy to fight the Horde! Stormwind must not fail!" Varian said loudly, his expression solemn and excited, his eyes extremely anxious. Could it be that he knew that he was under too much pressure at this moment?
Varian already had a high reputation, especially after the great victory in the Battle of Dagger Ridge, which further strengthened his reputation in Stormwind Kingdom. Everyone believed that the great "Storm Lion" would save the kingdom and defeat the evil orcs.
So many expectations and pressures fell on Varian, but after all, Varian was just a teenager.
Faced with such a dangerous situation today, I finally lost my composure.
At this time, a few more people felt it, and after hearing what happened yesterday, they all snored in shock.
Varian glanced at the crowd for a while and suddenly looked behind Murphy.
"Prince Sigurd, Princess Greymane, where is the artifact you mentioned, the Scythe of Elune, now?"
"It should be in the Duskwood. Why, Lord Varian, has changed his mind and wants to go look for it with us?" Sigrit asked with some surprise.
Varian was still hesitant. He had some understanding of creatures like werewolves. He absolutely did not want the people of Stormwind Kingdom to become bloodthirsty beasts. However, compared with the fall of Stormwind City, the consequences did not seem so serious.
"Varian, don't compromise with darkness." Someone advised.
Varian's expression became more and more struggling. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Suddenly, the door of the military intelligence room opened and a knight walked over.
"Your Majesty Varian, His Majesty asked you to go to the King's Hall. There is something important that needs to be discussed with you."
"What could be more important than the war with the Horde?"
"It is precisely about this matter that His Majesty has convened an emergency military meeting and summoned the nobles and envoys from various countries to discuss plans to fight against the tribe."
"Humph, those guys only know how to scheme and shirk responsibility. By the time they come up with a plan, our kingdom would have fallen."
The knight decisively chose to ignore Varian's complaint. "It seems that something has changed this time. The king said that you must go there. He may have a way to save the situation, but he hopes to discuss it with Your Highness."
Varian now has a lot of say in Stormwind Kingdom, and even if it is King Llane who makes the decision, it cannot be ignored.
Varian was a little unconvinced, but nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away. Everyone, you can come along."
Murphy didn't quite believe that King Ryan could have any good solution. He had never fought in history, and he was killed directly. Storm Kingdom also fell.
The group soon arrived at the conference room of the King's Hall. At this moment, there were more people in the conference room, including not only generals from the Storm Kingdom and envoys from various countries, but also generals from several different kingdoms who were sending reinforcements.
Since the troops sent were elite, their leaders were all well-known figures.
The leader of Lordaeron is Uther, the one from Quel'Thalas is Sylvanas Windrunner, and the one from Aerie Mountain is Falstad Wildhammer...
Murphy glanced at the new faces in the conference room and was surprised. There were so many celebrities. He didn't expect that even Queen She-King was here. Historically, it should have been her sister Alleria Windrunner who participated in the war. Needless to say, it was probably the influence of the players again.
King Llane asked Varian and the others to sit down, and then he narrated with a serious expression: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The million-strong orc army is about to approach Stormwind City. The front line can no longer resist the enemy's attack. I have ordered all troops to be transferred back to Stormwind City. I am ready to lead all the troops to defend Stormwind City myself.
But we can't keep resisting forever, everyone, when will the alliance's reinforcements arrive?"
Naturally, he was asking this question to the envoys from various countries and the generals of the reinforcements.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Uther, who was mature and steady, stood up and said, "King Menethil has begun to gather the army, but large-scale mobilization takes time, and it is not easy to transport troops across the sea. It will take at least two months for them to arrive."
Lordaeron is the backbone of the Alliance. Lordaeron said it would take two months. Even if other countries could arrive earlier, it would probably not be much faster.
Two months! King Llane looked a little serious, "But Stormwind may not be able to hold out for two months..."
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Faced with such a situation, the heroes could not come up with any good plan.
King Ryan glanced at everyone and seemed not surprised by the result. He sighed and said, "Two unexpected guests and made a suggestion to me. I didn't want to accept it at first, but now that things have come to this, perhaps this is also an opportunity. Let me introduce it to everyone."
He clapped his hands, and the door behind him suddenly opened, and two people walked out of the room.
"Good morning, heroes of the Alliance." The two men said in a friendly manner.
The appearance of the two immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that these two people are too eye-catching.
A man dressed in black scale armor, shining with a dark and cold luster under the light, with eyes as sharp as lightning and a golden helmet on his head, he has a kingly temperament.
The other one was wearing black and red armor, with a magical aura flashing around him, and a bit of evil and sinister intent.
Both of them have long black hair, dark golden eyes, and the powerful aura they exude makes people look at them sideways.
But the one who was most shocked was Murphy, because he knew both of them.
Morpheus (Human Warrior): Epic Tier 2 Hero. Level 90, HP 12500.
Nefarian (Human Mage): Epic Tier 2 Hero. Level 90, HP 9750.
It was Morpheus? Why was this guy here? And Nefarian, these two were actually together, were they planning to stage the Black Dragon conspiracy in advance?
Murphy was secretly surprised, but he took a step back calmly and hid behind the others.
Other players also reacted quickly. Although the two now appeared in human form and had neutral yellow names, these two names were very familiar to the players. Needless to say, Nefarian was the classic villain in World of Warcraft and the final BOSS of Blackwing Lair.
Morpheus is equally famous. He caused a big disturbance in Dalaran before. In addition, because he is a live broadcaster, he has attracted a lot of attention. Almost everyone knows who he is, so he is naturally well-known by everyone.
When they saw these two people appear, a group of player heroes immediately wanted to take action.
This is the BOSS that comes to your doorstep.
However, when these players saw that other characters in the plot did not react at all, they decisively stopped their actions.
The situation at hand is quite delicate.
Although everyone knew that the two people in front of them were two black dragons in disguise, and even their professional titles were quite deliberate, the characters in the plot didn't know. In the eyes of everyone, they were just two strange humans with "extraordinary demeanor".
At this point, there are only two possible outcomes for the players to take action.
One possibility is that the opponent reacts quickly and transforms into a black dragon directly. In that case, you will most likely not be able to stay.
The second possibility is that the other party does not have time to react and is killed on the spot, but in that case, since they die in human form, there is no way to reveal the true identities of the two.
And if you kill the king's guest in front of him, you will definitely be wanted.
After figuring out the key, everyone really didn't dare to act rashly. They all thought about how to reveal their identities and then wait until they were marked as red before starting the fight.
It is best for others to attack the monsters first and draw hatred, so that you have a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing everyone's reactions, King Ryan didn't react much, he said in a deep voice.
Ryan (Storm King): "You two said this morning that you had a way to defeat the tribe, so please tell everyone here."
Everyone here is thinking about how to reveal the true identities of these two evil black dragons.
Morpheus over there suddenly sighed.
Morpheus (human warrior): "To show my sincerity, there is one thing I want to clarify first. Actually, we are not human. In fact, Nefarian and I are both black dragon lords of the black dragon legion."
What!!!
Everyone showed surprised expressions, and this time they were all the same.
What surprised the characters in the story was naturally the true identities of the two people, but what surprised the players was what these two people meant and why they directly revealed their identities?
Nefarian (Human Mage): "Don't be nervous, mortals. We come here with no ill intentions. In fact, we have always tried our best to avoid being enemies with the Alliance."
"Hmph, this should be said to the people of Lordaeron who died tragically." Arthas shouted and was about to take action first.
Last year, the black dragon army launched a dragon disaster in Lordaeron, almost destroying the entire city.
Kel'Thuzad also had a murderous look on his face. Dalaran had also suffered a dragon disaster not long ago.
Dragons are generally not considered good people in the eyes of mortals, and the image of black dragons is particularly evil.
Morpheus sighed, "It's a pity what happened in the past, but we are also victims. The Black Dragon Legion launching the Dragon Calamity was not decided by us. These were all decided by the Black Dragon King Deathwing.
I think you all know Deathwing, the leader of the black dragonflight. He used to be a noble guardian dragon and the protector of this world, but evil eroded his soul. In the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago, Neltharion completely fell and became Deathwing.
Over the past ten thousand years, the Black Dragon Legion has done many evil things under his influence. Although we don't want to do it, we have no choice.
But facing the invasion of the orcs, we can no longer let them go crazy. The world is in danger, and we also want to do our part for this world."
Muradin Bronzebeard (The Mountain King): "Hmph, the words of you evil black dragons are not to be trusted."
Morpheus said, "Remember the Battle of Black Gate?"
"Of course, I will never forget what the Black Dragon Legion did that day."
"Then you must remember that at that time the Black Dragon Legion attacked the Alliance and the Horde at the same time. In fact, Deathwing's original order was to attack the Alliance and completely destroy you. However, Nefarian and I could not accept such behavior. We persuaded some black dragon lords and launched an attack on the orcs at the same time, using the reason that we could not distinguish them."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder the black dragons behaved so strangely during the Battle of Black Gate, attacking both humans and orcs. It was so strange.
So that's what is happening.
Muradin's expression was still very ugly, but his tone was somewhat less murderous: "So we should thank you?" he said sarcastically.
"Of course not. I just want to show that not all black dragons are evil. Maybe there is a way to stop the fight between humans and black dragons and fight against orcs together."
This kind of thing is really a fantasy.
Varian said in a deep voice: "Didn't you just say that there is no way to go against Deathwing's will?"
Morpheus (human warrior): "This is exactly why we came to you. Deathwing must be destroyed. He has completely fallen into madness and even wants to destroy the world. Although it is very dangerous, for the sake of this world and the future of the black dragon clan, we hope to cooperate with all mortal heroes to destroy Deathwing."
Nefarian (Human Mage): "As long as I can destroy Deathwing, I can seize the leadership of the Black Dragon Legion. At that time, the Black Dragon Legion will join the Alliance and fight against those evil orcs together with the Alliance."
After hearing this, Varian couldn't help but think about the feasibility of this plan.
If the Black Dragon Legion can really be brought over to help the Storm Kingdom join the war, it will undoubtedly be a huge help.
Although there are only a thousand dragons in the Black Dragon Legion, and most of them are young dragons, a dragon is a dragon. It can soar in the sky and breathe fire. It can be said that in this magical world, it is like a strategic bomber. If there are a thousand strategic bombers bombing the enemy and providing air support, it will undoubtedly be a huge advantage for the war. At least there will be no problem in defending Stormwind City.
Varian was suddenly moved.
"But how can we kill Deathwing? I once charged Deathwing, and I know his power very well. He is so powerful that no one can stop him if he wants to escape."
Morpheus smiled slightly: "But how could Deathwing escape so easily from a mortal?"
This is true. He is the Black Dragon King after all. It is impossible for him to escape easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
Nefarian added: "We have already made a preliminary plan for this. Not all the Black Dragon Legion members are intimidated by his power. There are many righteous people who are willing to help us, and there are also many Black Dragon Lords who are only there to intimidate Deathwing's powerful forces.
As long as we can find a suitable opportunity and act together, we will definitely be able to defeat him.
But waiting for this opportunity takes time. We are here mainly to confirm the intention of the alliance. If you all join, we can proceed to the next step.
In addition, to show my sincerity, I will send some black dragons to join the Alliance Army to scout the movements and intelligence of the orcs for you."
King Llane was in a dilemma. The Horde alone was difficult enough to deal with, and rashly provoking a powerful enemy like Deathwing would undoubtedly be very troublesome.
But those players don’t have so many concerns. This is Deathwing, a world-destroying BOSS. If they can kill Deathwing, how many good things will be revealed.
Maybe a magical weapon will pop up.
It would certainly be difficult to do it if it depends on the players alone, but there are two Black Dragon Lords helping with the backstab, so the chances are great.
Murphy heard this and called me out, "These two guys are really bold. They even dare to betray Deathwing?"
Morgan Lisa said, "Prince Varian, I think it's okay."
Sieglet: "That's right. As long as we can defeat Deathwing and get the Black Dragon Legion to join us, we will have a great chance of winning this war."
Dala Bangba: "You're right. If we can kill Deathwing, then we'll get... ahem..."
King Llane and Varian discussed in low voices for a few more moments.
The decision was finally made.
King Llane said: "In principle, we agree to participate in this plan, but the orcs are the enemy at hand, so we still need to give priority to dealing with them. But as long as you can find a suitable opportunity, I will send the most powerful warriors to participate in this operation."
Morpheus and Nefarian nodded, " Then it's settled, Your Majesty Llane."
…
"Will those humans agree?" Nefarian asked uncertainly as they walked in the corridor outside the King's Hall.
"They will definitely agree." Morpheus said firmly. The NPC might consider the conspiracy and interests involved, but the players would never think so much. As long as the benefits are big enough, they will risk everything. He knows the players' mentality too well.
Nefarian looked at him thoughtfully, "You seem to know them well?"
"Haha, you simply can't imagine it." Morpheus laughed at himself.
"Well, maybe, but don't forget your promise. After this is accomplished, I will become the new Black Dragon King."
"Of course, how could I forget? And the power to protect the earth will be inherited by me."
Nefarian nodded, and disappeared with a teleportation magic.
Humph, you really like to show off.
Morpheus snorted coldly, but the dragon language magic was indeed convenient to use, and he was ready to leave quickly. After all, this was a human city, and as a BOSS, he would still be a little nervous even if he was disguised as a human.
What he was most worried about were the players. Players would do anything for profit. Maybe three or five heroes would come and block him.
He was about to quicken his pace when he suddenly felt something.
"who?"
"Haha, after not seeing you for so long, you are still so alert." A familiar voice sounded behind him. In the dark corridor, a knight in armor with a huge sword on his back walked out of the darkness.
When Murphy saw the man, his eyes widened.
The man had a face that was 70% similar to his, and the face was so familiar that Morpheus was stunned.
"What? You don't even recognize your dad after not seeing him for a few months?" Murphy said with a smile.
