Volume 6: The World of Rebellion Chapter 301 Schrodinger's Orc Assassin
Godwin on the side shook his head, turned around and smiled helplessly at the God of War Lu Bu, "Sorry, man, I made you laugh. Alas, these brothers and sisters are really not a worry-free one." The God of War Lu Bu waved his hand, "Haha, it's the same for you. I have a big family over there too, it's the same everywhere."
But I was thinking in my heart, the brothers in my family are much less troublesome than yours.
Perhaps it is precisely because of their poor family background that the princes of Alterac understand the necessity of unity to some extent. After all, once this financial foundation is gone, it is really gone. Alterac is also a notoriously weak country and the first country to be destroyed in history. Everyone has more or less the idea of being in the same boat.
In comparison, these local tyrants in Lordaeron are much more unscrupulous.
Godwin said , "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the orc assassins. Although the orc assassins that have appeared so far are all adventurers, according to my speculation, there must be an assassin-type hero behind these orc assassins, but he has not appeared yet."
God of War Lu Bu was a little curious: "Oh, can I see it?"
Godwin smiled slightly, "Isn't it obvious? So many orc assassins came to Lordaeron to assassinate. It must not be spontaneous. Most likely, someone organized it. What is their purpose? Obviously, they want to assassinate the characters in the plot.
However, adventurers alone cannot truly kill plot characters. No matter how hard these orc assassins try, even if they occasionally succeed once or twice and kill plot characters, they will be refreshed soon.
In other words, their actions are completely meaningless. Of course, equipment can be dropped by killing plot characters, but judging from the current casualty rate of orc assassins, it is far less cost-effective than playing dungeons.
So I speculate that there must be at least one orc hero, and these orc assassin adventurers are just tools for trial and error. Once they have figured out the defense situation of Lordaeron and found a plot character that is easy to target, that orc assassin hero will take action personally and assassinate the important plot characters on the Alliance side.
The God of War Lu Bu couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. Using adventurers as cannon fodder is a common practice of many large guilds, especially studios.
The studio is able to train assassins in batches and organize trials of this scale. They don't care even if many adventurers die. In comparison, although ordinary guilds can do this, the cost is a big problem. After all, adventurers in ordinary guilds are individual players and their equipment is their own. If they die, whose equipment will it belong to?
But even a studio would not do business at a loss. After sending so many orc adventurers as cannon fodder, there must be a way to recover the cost, so Godwin's guess is nine out of ten true.
"Who does Prince Godwin think their target is?"
"It's very likely a magic character. Warrior-type plot characters have high health points, so it's difficult to assassinate them. Especially those lords, most of them have health bonuses, and they also wear armor on a daily basis. There are also a lot of guards around them, so it's difficult to kill them quickly and escape unscathed.
But it is relatively easier to deal with magic characters. Mages usually have relatively low health and no heavy armor, so it is easy to kill them with one blow if they are caught off guard.
Moreover, most mages are solitary and like quietness, so they don’t have many guards around them, and it is relatively easy to escape after killing them.
I have initially locked onto a few characters. The first one is Grand Mage Rodman sent by Quel'Thalas. The High Elves are arrogant and don't like to participate in the activities of the Alliance. This can be easily seen from the selection of the special envoys they sent. Other countries have sent powerful figures, and some even sent kings directly, but they didn't even send a prince, just a mere Grand Mage.
According to my speculation, their idea should be that their country is at the northernmost tip of the continent anyway, and it is almost impossible for them to be attacked by orcs, so they are the last ones to participate in the alliance. If Grand Mage Rodman is assassinated, the elves will have a reason to stop sending troops, which will undoubtedly bring some advantages to the tribe in the next war.
If this orc assassin knew the inside story, he might attack Rodman.
The second possible target is Archmage Antonidas. As the chief of the Council of Six in Dalaran, if Antonidas is assassinated, it will be a huge diplomatic incident, not to mention that Antonidas himself is an epic hero. Killing him can greatly reduce the strength and morale of the Alliance.
The third target is Jaina. She is currently with Antonidas. She is the princess of Kul Tiras and a disciple of Antonidas. If she dies in Lordaeron, it will undoubtedly create a huge rift within the Alliance. Moreover, she is very weak and very easy to capture. "
After Godwin's analysis, the God of War Lu Bu suddenly felt nervous. He didn't know it until he thought about it carefully. Suddenly, he felt that danger was lurking on all sides.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Godwin said sincerely, "I hope you can be the security officer of the embassy area."
What! The God of War Lu Bu was surprised. Such an important task was given to him? It was a bit outrageous. He was not a hero of Lordaeron.
"Will my identity be inconvenient?"
Godwin said disapprovingly, "How could that be? You are my father's only godson . Besides, my father has said that you are a fearless warrior and a loyal soldier. It is most appropriate for you to be in charge of the security work of the embassy area. I think my father will be very happy."
The God of War Lu Bu always felt that something was wrong after hearing this, but he was a careless person and he just stopped thinking about it if he couldn't figure it out.
"Haha, no problem. I have some experience in dealing with orc assassins. I fought against Samuro during the Battle of Alterac. He was just an orc assassin and he didn't get any good results in my hands."
"But I alone can't do it. I didn't bring any soldiers with me this time to Lordaeron. Look--"
Godwin thought for a while, "I see, this is indeed a problem. It is not convenient to transfer troops from outside the city. How about this, since my father values you so much, and you are his godson, and we are also a family, I think I can transfer part of the Lordaeron Royal Guard to you for command."
The God of War Lu Bu was quite excited now, as he considered himself as one of their own.
"Haha, Brother Godwin, you are too polite. I have no objection to this. Don't worry, the security of the embassy area is in my hands."
God of War Lu Bu thought that it would be best if something could happen. If he could really kill an orc assassin hero, that would also be a plot point.
While he was thinking happily in his heart, several princes nearby heard their conversation.
Barbados (Prince of Lordaeron): "Did you really fight Samuro?"
Defeat Lu Bu (Prince of Alterac): "No, the battle that day was extremely brutal. The orcs were slaughtered and their bodies were scattered all over the place. I fought in and out of the orc army alone. I killed Samuro and Saurfang with my own hands."
"Don't you have a group of brothers to help you?"
"They are all clearing out the monsters..."
The God of War Lu Bu had no worries at all when he boasted so loudly that it shocked a few people.
This person is indeed extraordinary .
"By the way, didn't you catch Thrall?" a prince suddenly asked.
The God of War Lu Bu waved his hand, "Hey, don't mention it. That night we went to attack the Frostwolves camp, but the Frostwolves were so frightened that they ran away overnight, leaving behind a bunch of adventurers as cannon fodder. Now no one knows where they are hiding.
Later we split up and chased him, only killing some small soldiers, and we didn't even see a hair of that Thrall."
Everyone felt a sense of regret. If they could capture Thrall, or kill him directly, it would be equivalent to directly changing history.
Then there will be no new tribes in the future.
"So where is Sal now?"
"Who knows, maybe it's developing slowly in some corner."
