Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 289: Upgraded Two Levels in a Row - Frostwolf Camp
[System prompt: Based on your performance in the plot battle [Ice Wolf Plains Battle], you have obtained 3750 plot points, your rank has been upgraded, and now you are at Silver 5th rank. You have obtained a new hero specialty. You can check the relevant content on the hero specialty interface.]
Damn, I actually upgraded two levels at once, that's pretty amazing.
Murphy was very surprised. Although he knew that he had made a great contribution in this battle and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had "turned the situation around single-handedly", this was the first time he had encountered such a thing as upgrading two levels at a time.
Generally speaking, the higher the rank, the more plot points are required to upgrade, and at the same time, the fewer plot points can be obtained from plot events.
Therefore, it is quite rare to upgrade two levels at once.
A silver-rank hero like him has limited combat power, and usually can hardly play a big role in the plot battle. However, Murphy is an outlier. Since he can transform into the Storm Dragon King and directly transform into a BOSS of the same rank, his combat power is completely inconsistent with the common sense of his rank. He is even an enhanced version of the BOSS, which is why he has the amazing result of being promoted by two levels.
Murphy couldn't wait to check out the hero's specialties this time.
This time, six heroic specialties were directly spawned, including some legendary specialties.
[Feat 1: Hidden Arrow Slayer (Combat Feat). You killed a hero from behind by sneak attack in a battle, and thus realized that the key to killing is to attack the enemy by surprise, and launching a fatal attack from behind is the only way to take someone's life.
Feat Effect: When you attack from behind an enemy, you have a higher chance of delivering a critical hit.
[Feat 2: Orc Destroyer (Combat Feat/Legend): You have killed more than 1,000 orcs in a single battle, rendering them defenseless against you, thereby causing the orcs to fear you.
Expertise Effect: Your damage to orcs increases by 10%. When you fight orcs, each kill has a certain chance of causing group fear, causing the morale of the orc troops to drop rapidly. Since the orcs are too afraid of you, a terrifying legend about you will spread in the orc society, and you will gain 1 legend point.
[Expertise 3: Thunder Dragon Knight Trainer (Professional Expertise/Hidden): Your Knights played a huge role in this battle. The Thunder Dragon Knights' thunderous power shocked the entire audience, making the world aware of the mighty reputation of the Dragon Knights. The Thunder Dragon Knights also became a hidden profession that adventurers talked about with great relish, and the adventurer group's attention to the Dragon Knights increased.
Expertise Effect 1: The number of new knight recruits received by the Dragon Knights increases by 10 each week.
Expertise Effect 2: Unlocks a new adventurer advanced profession - 'Dragon Thunder Knight', which is an advanced profession of 'Knight' and 'Warrior'.
All the Dragon Knights under your command will automatically unlock the professional trainer function. As the leader of the Dragon Knights, you will become the founder/professional mentor of the Dragon Knights and gain the right to transfer to this advanced profession. 】
[Feat 4: Flying Killer (Combat Feat): In this battle, you killed a large number of enemies while flying, and thus mastered the essentials of fighting in the air.
Expertise Effect: When you are in the flying state, your dodge ability is increased by 10%, your hit rate is increased by 10%, and you are not subject to the spellcasting delay penalty caused by the imbalance of the flying state. 】
[Feat 5: Lone Warrior (Combat Feat/Legendary): You faced a large number of enemies alone in a battle and finally defeated them. You have mastered the key to being invincible in a crowd of enemies. Even if you face an army of thousands, you are not afraid at all.
Expertise Effect: When there are no friendly units around you and you are surrounded by enemies (the number of enemies is greater than or equal to 10), you will gain an additional 5% attribute bonus. The more enemies there are, the higher the attribute bonus will be, up to a maximum of 50%.
Your skills will also have a higher chance of reaching their maximum power. 】
[Feat 6: Thunder Phantom (Honorary Feat/Legend): The power of thunder you displayed in this battle left a terrible memory in the hearts of your enemies, so you gained a title unique to you - 'Thunder Phantom'.
Whether orcs or humans, there are legends about the 'Thunder Phantom' Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King).
Expertise Effect: Add the prefix "Thunder Phantom" to your character's name and gain 3 legendary points. 】
Murphy looked at the six specialties in front of him and quickly weighed them.
Choose two from six. This is something you need to think about carefully.
Backstabber - He had gotten this specialty before, but he didn't choose it then, and he didn't plan to choose it this time either.
There is a high probability that I will take the BOSS route in the future, so I am unlikely to have the opportunity to do things like stabbing people in the back.
Orc Destroyer - should be the advanced version of Orc Slayer. He has also refreshed that specialty before. It can be unlocked by killing 100 orcs in a battle. But this Orc Destroyer requires killing 1,000 orcs. The bonus effect is also higher. 10% damage is still very powerful, but it is a bit useless to be only useful against orcs. It can be used in the second orc war, but after the second orc war is over, this specialty will most likely be useless - PASS.
Dragon Thunder Knight Trainer - Murphy studied this specialty for a long time, and then opened the system to check it, and finally figured out what was going on.
Once you choose this specialty, an advanced profession will be added to the game - Dragon Thunder Knight, which requires the basic profession to be Warrior or Knight to advance.
The game Sky World is divided into basic professions and advanced professions. For example, the knight is a basic profession, and the paladin is an advanced profession. Warriors, knights, and priests can all advance to paladins.
In fact, from a plot perspective, the profession of Paladin has not even appeared yet. It is necessary to wait until the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand before the Paladin truly appears. But for adventurers, of course, this is not a restriction.
The authority obtained by this expertise is to set the advanced tasks and conditions of the profession, and even to publish advanced tasks.
In other words, if you choose this specialty, you will become the ancestor of the Thunder Knight, which is equivalent to Illidan's status as a Demon Hunter.
It’s quite touching when I think about it.
Of course, even if the adventurers advance to Dragon Thunder Knight, it does not mean that he can completely control these adventurers. It is just like running a vocational school.
These adventurers are only members of the Dragon Knights in name only, but they are not under their control. However, they can be assigned professional tasks and the like.
Another big advantage is that you can sell professional items. After all, it is a new profession that has just been released, and there must be many players who want to try it out.
This one cannot be missed, Murphy chose the third one without hesitation. Starting the adventurer profession is very important for expanding the influence of the Knights.
Flying Killer - Murphy soon gave up on this specialty. He couldn't fly in hero form. Although he could fly in boss form, the dragons were too big. Even if the dodge chance increased by 10%, he would still get hit. It really didn't make any sense.
This feat should be used for professions that engage in riding combat after unlocking flying mounts.
Lone Hero - Murfei was quite attracted by this specialty. In fact, this specialty is not very useful for ordinary heroes, because the hero's combat power is limited after all, and it is still difficult to achieve invincibility. Imagine if a person is really surrounded by hundreds of enemies, it is not easy for even an epic hero to fight out, and he might die.
So it is really useless for ordinary heroes.
But for a hero like me who can transform into a BOSS, it is completely different. A BOSS always fights a group of people alone. If I enter a 40-person group and become a BOSS, it is equivalent to an additional 20% increase in attributes, which is quite powerful.
If it is a 100-person guild dungeon, it is equivalent to a 50% increase in attributes.
This one must be chosen.
As for the last Thunder Phantom specialty, this thing is just funny. The legendary value is actually somewhat useful, but it is also really useless. If the legendary value is high, it can directly improve the initial reputation of certain camps, which is equivalent to the function of Song Jiang in Water Margin.
In addition, you can also increase your voice in plot events.
But it is not of much help in combat, it just makes it easier to deal with different forces, and it cannot be compared with the legendary combat expertise of the Lone Hero.
Having made up his mind, Murphy made his own choice.
[Dragon Thunder Knight Trainer] + [Lone Hero].
After choosing his expertise, Murphy rode his newly acquired Frostwolf mount to reunite with his brothers.
This battle was extremely brutal. Although we won, the losses were also enormous.
The king's father died in battle, and seven of his brothers died. There were originally 27 brothers, but now there are only 20 left.
The noble lords who participated in the war also suffered countless casualties, especially the mountain nobles, nearly half of whom died because of their stubbornness.
But there is good news. After this battle, Roland led the dragon-clad heavy cavalry to charge and fight, and finally advanced to a hero. Although he is only a bronze level 1, he has finally become a plot character.
This made Razidanan very jealous.
The princes gathered on the snowy plain, next to them were the bodies of King Aiden and old Saurfang (both bodies had been touched, and no one knew who did it).
Darabonba (Prince of Alterac): "What do we do next?"
God of War Lu Bu (Prince of Alterac): "Needless to say, of course we should pursue the victory and completely destroy the Frostwolf Orcs' camp. As the saying goes, it is better to pursue the enemy with your remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant."
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, we must kill him while he is weak. Also, we must not let that traitor Barov go. He actually dared to run away halfway. Fortunately, our brothers are so brave, otherwise we would have been killed by him in this battle."
Mr. Ma (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, yes, that fellow Barov must be killed, and Dallon City must be taken back by the way. We are about to hold the Prince's Council, and this is a good opportunity to wipe out those disobedient nobles and take back the territory."
However, Barov had already run back to his own territory by now. The Frostwolf orcs' camp was in the Alterac Valley, so they could launch an attack immediately to avoid any further complications.
The princes gathered their troops, and now only 17,000 of the main forces of the royal army are left, while the militia still has 18,000. Together with the 25,000-strong Lordaeron Legion, there are still 60,000 troops.
As soon as the princes regrouped their troops, they immediately headed towards the Alterac Valley, determined not to give the tribe a chance to breathe.
The Alterac Valley is very large, and it is very difficult to find the location of the orcs' camp. However, in the battle just now, countless orcs fled, and the traces they left behind are extremely clear, which is very conducive to tracking.
The army charged into the valley of Alterac, following the traces left by the orc fleeing soldiers. At night, they finally arrived at the entrance of a steep valley. Looking at the row of orc arrow towers on the high ground outside the valley, as well as the rugged orc fortress in the valley, there was no doubt that this was the camp of the Frostwolf Clan.
But at this moment, the entire camp was pitch black, as if there was no one there.
