Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 261: Large Quantity and Fullness
The wolf riders saw the extraordinary nature of the weapon in his hand and fled in all directions, not daring to engage in a head-on battle with Murphy at all.
"Shoot his horse, shoot his horse!" A low and strange voice suddenly sounded, and no one knew which clever guy was shouting.
Immediately, several Frostwolf Axe Throwing Cavalry surrounded him. The Frostwolf Axe Throwing Cavalry was a ranged variant of the Frostwolf Knights and could use throwing axes for ranged attacks. Rows of throwing axes were thrown at Murphy. Murphy raised his sword to block, but he forgot that the Storm Ruler could not be used as a shield like the Dragon Slayer Greatsword. After a round of concentrated fire, his horse fell to the ground with a whine.
Murphy himself was also hit by a flying axe and lost dozens of drops of blood.
He fell off his horse headfirst, and leaped up the instant he landed - the incarnation of a thundercloud!
It turned into a violent thundercloud flashing with strange lightning and flew directly into the middle of the group of Frostwolf axe-throwing cavalry. It suddenly fell from the sky. The moment it landed, a ball of thunder spread in all directions, electric currents shot out in all directions, and the shock wave knocked several Frostwolf Knights to the ground.
Murphy swung the Storm Sword and chopped at the head of the nearest orc.
Cleave!
Spinning slash!
Charge and strike hard!
Almost one sword at a time, four or five Frostwolf cavalrymen were knocked down in an instant.
The remaining axe-throwing cavalry quickly distanced themselves and threw axes again.
Murphy waved his hand - Hurricane Armor!
[Hurricane Armor: You are surrounded by a violent hurricane for 30 seconds. During this period, enemies within 5 yards around you will be affected by a continuous slowdown effect, and any long-range physical attack targeting you will be affected by the deflection effect.]
A fierce whirlwind immediately whizzed around Murphy, and the flying axes were blown off course before they got close.
Once Murphy got close to them, the hurricane's slowing effect made it impossible for these wolf riders to escape.
Murphy continued to chase and killed several wolf knights in a row.
When the Frostwolf Knights saw that they could not win, the leader let out a strange cry and fled in all directions.
At the same time, Roland led his team of North Wind Knights to repel the siege of the wolf cavalry on the left wing.
Seeing that all the Frostwolf Knights had run far away, Murphy hurriedly ordered not to pursue them and quickly counted the results of the battle. Nineteen Frostwolf Knights were killed, and in just a short while, eleven of the thirty-two North Wind Knights were also killed.
Roland brought a horse without an owner to Murphy. As Murphy climbed onto the horse, he secretly marveled at the powerful fighting power of these Frostwolf Knights. They could not gain any .
If it weren't for the hero himself who led the charge and killed a large wave of enemies, this wave would have been completely wiped out.
Without any hesitation, Murphy immediately ordered his men to continue on their way. Although they had repelled the enemy, this encounter might have attracted the enemy's attention. They had to move forward as quickly as possible and target Tongtian Peak.
The biting cold wind blew in their faces as the twenty-two riders galloped across the snowy plain.
However, what you fear will come to you. Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard in the darkness in the distance. Murphy turned his head to look to the north, and saw a black mass of Frost Wolf Cavalry appearing on the distant ridge.
There are thousands of them.
[System prompt: The plot event [Ice Field Pursuit] has been triggered. You are about to enter the plot event. Your role in the plot event is [The Prince in Distress]. Please be prepared.]
Murphy's face suddenly changed. There were so many enemies, and there was no way to fight them.
And since it’s a plot event, it means the other side is led by at least one hero, which is not good.
“Speed up!”
Murphy and his knights rushed towards Tongtian Peak, with the Frostwolf Knights following closely behind.
Fortunately, if running in a straight line, the speed of the Alterac Warhorse is not inferior to the Frostwolf. However, before Murphy had time to be thankful, he saw a strange red light flashing in the darkness behind him.
Oh no, it’s bloodthirsty magic!
Bloodlust: Increases a unit's attack speed by 40% and movement speed by 25%.
The other side actually had a shaman with them , and they seemed to be quite skilled. They had clearly used group bloodlust just now. Although it did not affect the entire army, it did increase the speed of more than a hundred wolf knights. With the BUFF, the speed of more than a hundred frost wolf knights increased immediately, and they quickly approached Murphy and the others.
Mo Fei secretly groaned, if he was entangled, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Roland (Guardian Knight): "Your Highness, you go first. Let me lead the knights to stop them and delay them."
Murphy glanced at the old knight with white hair and beard, and felt slightly moved. His mind suddenly moved and his eyes fell on the Storm Controller in his hand.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "No, let's go together. As a prince, I can't abandon my soldiers and escape alone. You lead the cavalry and go first, and I will cover you. This is an order!"
After saying that, he pulled the reins sharply and fell to the back of the team.
Roland was startled, but he gritted his teeth and continued to gallop with his knights.
Roland and his cavalry had already run several hundred meters away, and the more than one hundred wolf cavalrymen behind them were gradually approaching.
Murphy suddenly raised the Storm Binder in his hand and held the sword high.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Storm - at my command!"
Buzz! The clear sword body suddenly emitted a whistling sound. An invisible whirlwind swirled around the sword body, growing bigger and bigger, and continuously spreading. The snow on the ground also whistled up with the storm, and the wind and snow in the sky turned into a blizzard visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.
Weapon Effect 1: Summon Storm (Usable once a day). Summon a small storm that will cause a continuous blowback effect on small units within the storm range, and a continuous slowdown effect on medium and larger units. You can increase the power and range of the storm by consuming additional mana.
Although it was only a small storm, it covered an area of several hundred meters. Murphy injected his magic power into the sword. As the storm expanded, the Frostwolf Knights were immediately swept into it by the ice and snow.
These Frostwolf Knights were all medium-sized units, with no resistance to magic. Under the fierce wind, they staggered to the ground and their speed dropped greatly.
Murphy laughed, it was so fun to use legendary weapons.
He patted his horse, turned around and rushed through the storm unhindered.
Weapon Effect 2: Eye of the Hurricane (Passive), automatically deflects all wind magic targeting you, and makes you immune to the slowing and blowing effects of all wind skills.
After Murphy's obstruction, the pursuit speed of the Wolf Cavalry Corps was suddenly slowed down a lot. Murphy ran for several miles in one breath, and the Wolf Cavalry finally bypassed the range of the storm and started chasing again.
You are really persistent.
But Murphy was not in a hurry because Tongtian Peak was not far away.
They chased each other and I fled for half an hour. When the wolf cavalry once again shortened the distance to two or three hundred meters, Murphy and others finally arrived at the foot of Tongtian Peak.
Looking at the towering dark mountains that reached into the sky above his head and the thunder storm hovering above the mountains, Murphy let out a long sigh.
It's basically safe here.
"Don't stop, charge, charge!" He shouted to Roland who was waiting for him ahead.
He led the cavalry team directly into the snakeman ruins below Tongtian Peak.
"Dismount and go in!"
Murphy jumped off the horse without any hesitation.
Roland also dismounted with the knights, and they all rushed into the ruins. At the same time, the Frostwolf Cavalry also chased after them.
The leading Frostwolf general paid special attention to the small group of cavalry in front of him.
Originally, they just wanted to isolate the battlefield and hinder humans from investigating the Frostwolf territory, but they didn't expect to block a big fish. The storm just now was definitely the effect of some powerful magic or shaman spell. There must be a big shot among these humans.
"Team one, team two, block the surroundings and see if there are other exits. The rest of you follow me and chase them down."
A group of Frostwolf Knights also dismounted their wolves, but unlike Murphy and the others who left their horses outside, they drove the Frostwolves directly into the ruins - the Frost Giant Wolves were also combat units.
Soon, the Frostwolf Marshal led his troops to the tunnel leading to the underground cave.
"It's here, those humans are inside, kill them!" The Frostwolf Marshal roared and rushed in, followed closely by his men. The dark passage was five or six meters wide, and dozens of Frostwolf cavalrymen and a dozen war wolves rushed in at once. However, just when they were about to reach the end of the passage, a figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Murphy faced the swarming enemies without fear.
Dragon Feast Secret Art——Alandel's Pure Flame!
Awooo—With a dragon's roar, a huge, ferocious black dragon head appeared out of thin air in front of the exit. The dragon opened its mouth and flames gushed out.
This narrow passage now became the best place for the dragon's breath to exert its power. Dozens of Frostwolf cavalry and a dozen Frostwolves were crowded in the passage, which was a perfect position.
The blazing white flames filled the tunnel directly, flashing with terrifying heat and light, burning from one end of the tunnel to the other.
Faced with the terrifying flames, the Frostwolf Warlord was so frightened that he froze in place. The next second, a frosty force suddenly surrounded him.
It was the shaman accompanying the army who cast a frost barrier on him.
The Frostwolf Warlord did not dare to hesitate at all and turned around and ran. By the time he escaped from the passage, his health had been reduced by half.
Looking back, all the Frostwolf warriors in the passage had turned to ashes.
Murphy finally stopped talking, and the black dragon's head disappeared.
Phew! So cool!
He sprayed for more than ten seconds, consuming more than 300 mana points, almost exhausting all of his mana.
But it’s really cool.
He took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it quickly.
Seeing that his mana had recovered to more than 200 points, Murphy felt a little relieved.
The Dragon Feast Secret Art is very powerful, but it also consumes a lot of mana.
There are a thousand orcs outside. If these enemies really rush in regardless of their lives, he really can't hold on because he doesn't have enough mana.
Fortunately, the other side seemed to be frightened by the fire just now, and could only hide at the other end of the passage and roar helplessly.
Galvan (Frostwolf Warlord): "Prince of Man, your magic is indeed powerful. If you are willing to surrender, I can promise not to kill you."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Despicable orcs, I will not believe your words. You are all beasts from another world. Your vicious nature and bestiality will never gain my trust. If you have the guts, continue to send your soldiers in to die. My flames will burn them all to ashes."
Galvan (Frostwolf Warlord): "Don't be stubborn. There is no other exit here. You can't escape. Don't think you can stay in there forever. I have already gone back to mobilize more people. As soon as the siege troops arrive, none of you will survive."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Come on, I'm waiting for you."
The two of them exchanged verbal attacks for a while, and it seemed that the opponent was not going to attack forcefully, so Murphy breathed a sigh of relief.
Knight Roland on the side said anxiously, "What should we do, Your Highness? We are trapped."
"Haha, no one can trap me yet, come with me."
Murfei originally wanted to go up Tongtian Peak alone, but leaving his men behind at this time would be just letting them die. They were all NPCs anyway, and Murfei was not afraid of exposing his secret, so he simply took his men up the mountain and hid.
He came to the ancient dragon statue and took out the ancient dragon stone statue from his backpack...
As the passage in the stone mirror appeared, all the knights showed surprised expressions, especially Roland. As an elite, he was a very intelligent NPC, and there was even a faint flush of excitement on his face.
"Your Highness, this is...?"
Murphy walked in without explanation, followed by a group of knights. When the last Knight of the North Wind passed through the portal, Murphy closed the door again and walked up the ancient stone steps towards the summit of Tongtian Peak.
The cold wind on Tongtian Peak is even more fierce, but the North Wind Knights are all Highlanders with a natural ability to resist the cold, and their armor is lined with fur, so they are not harmed by the cold.
Without pursuers, the Knights of the North Wind relaxed a lot and followed Murphy closely.
Roland was even more shocked when he saw the corpses of the giant dragons. Finally, the group reached the top of the mountain.
Looking at the ancient round hall and stone steps in front of him, Roland felt a sense of awe.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Roland, take the knights and stand guard outside. I have a ritual to begin and cannot be disturbed."
Roland (Guardian Knight): "Yes, Your Highness."
He immediately ordered the knights to form a circle around him, but no one stepped onto the stone platform.
Murphy walked straight onto the stone platform of the Dragon Feast Ceremony Hall and came to the altar surrounded by ancient dragon stone statues.
The mysterious voice sounded immediately, as always.
Mysterious voice: "Wow, wow, let me see, you brought so many people here, are they here to keep you company? Or are you planning to rebuild the Dragon Feast Knights?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "The Order of the Dragon? What is that?"
Mysterious Voice: "In ancient times, human warriors gained strength by devouring dragons and thus gathered together. The best among them, Emperor Thoradin, summoned a group of the most powerful Dragon Eaters and founded the Dragon Eater Knights. Although the Knights eventually fell apart for various reasons, they undoubtedly left a heavy mark in history.
It can be said to be the oldest order of knights in human history."
Murphy shook his head. "I don't have that idea for now." He was enough for the Dragon Eater.
A mysterious voice said, "Haha, this is an expected choice. Mortals always cherish their power and never want to share it . Well then, place the dragon's heart on the altar and let's begin the ceremony."
The first thing Murphy took out was Malygos's Dragon Heart. He couldn't wait any longer. If he ate this thing, the skills it would give him would definitely be great. Maybe he could...
Mysterious voice: "...That's it! That's it! That's the heart of the guardian dragon! I must be dreaming, how is this possible! "
Hearing the mysterious voice's surprised voice, Murfei felt quite relieved. He thought to himself, there are times when you can't hold it back. This mysterious voice has always acted extremely mysterious, as if everything is under its control. Today, it was finally scared.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "What? Are you scared?"
Mysterious Voice: Scared me? Haha, of course not. It's more like a surprise. Guarding the heart of the dragon... do you know what this means? The power of protection once belonged to the Dragon God, but was stolen by the five traitors. Now it has finally returned, although only a small part...
But it’s definitely a good start. I don’t know how you got this thing, but if you can keep it up, maybe one day…”
"One day what?" Murphy asked expectantly.
The mysterious voice did not return, but a song began to sound instead.
Hey--hoo--ha! Ho--hoo--ha!
Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!
A majestic song rang out.
There were vague human figures appearing all around. Murphy did not ask any more questions. No matter what would happen, he would just eat it first . He picked up the dragon heart and put it into his mouth.
Click!
As soon as he took a bite, Murphy felt a sharp pain in his teeth and almost broke his tooth.
-1! A bright red number popped up above his head.
He looked at the dragon heart in his hand, which was like a crystal, and was confused. What the hell? I couldn't even chew it.
He took another bite, and this time he finally discovered the problem. It was not that the crystal was too hard, but that there seemed to be an invisible force field barrier around the dragon's heart, making it impossible to bite through it.
Mysterious voice: Hahahaha, idiot, you don't think the power of protection is so easy to obtain? You are far from being qualified now. "
Murphy was a little dumbfounded.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "How can we absorb it? Is there any special ritual required?"
Mysterious voice: No, just eat it, but your current strength is not enough to devour the heart of the guardian dragon, so it’s not time yet.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Current strength? When will it be? Is the Dragon Feast divided into stages?"
A mysterious voice said, "That's right. Only the dragon race is qualified to bear the power of protection, and you are not a dragon yet. You are just a mortal with flesh and blood. Only by evolving into a dragon can you enter the next stage. You are still far away. Move forward slowly on the road of dragon feast."
Mo Fei thought, so that's how it is. This means that after transforming into a dragon, you can still continue the dragon feast ceremony. That's really great.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I'm still short of six dragon hearts, right?"
Mysterious voice: "That's right."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Then I feel relieved. Fortunately, I brought some with me this time."
Murphy said as he took out all the remaining eight dragon hearts.
The portion is large and filling, so this should be enough for you to eat.
Mysterious voice: “…”
