Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 407: The Runaway Adventurers and the Tribe’s Investors
The adventurers from Quel'Thalas and Stromgarde had to be the ones who had the biggest reaction and felt the most upset about the Alliance split.
(The adventurer's race is subdivided by nationality, and talents of different nationalities of the same race may also be slightly different, such as the ice resistance talent of the Alterac people.)
They found themselves expelled from the league overnight.
Neutral forces are not official factions. In other words, theoretically they cannot have their own adventurers. All established Arathi and High Elves adventurer players have received a system email and three letters from different factions.
All three letters can trigger a faction mission, but once the other two are triggered, they will be invalidated.
[System prompt: The faction to which your race belongs has withdrawn from the alliance. You have now become a neutral adventurer. Please select the faction you want to join and complete the corresponding faction tasks to obtain faction identity.
Mission 1: Summons of the Alliance (Alliance faction mission).
Letter from King Godwin of Lordaeron:
Elven warriors from Quel'Thalas, although your king has chosen to betray the Alliance, I am well aware that this betrayal has nothing to do with you brave adventurers. Therefore, the door of the Alliance is still open to you. Please immediately go to the nearby Alliance town to report to the local Adventurer's Guild, complete the recruit mission, and become a glorious Alliance warrior again.
Mission 2: Call of the Kaldorei (Night Alliance faction mission).
Letter from High Priestess Tyrande:
Fellow countrymen from Quel'Thalas, we once belonged to the same race. Despite thousands of years of separation, the connection in our blood remains. Now I hear that your kingdom has been abandoned by the Alliance. The ancient oath allows me to invite you.
Come and join the big family of the Dark Night Alliance, return to your hometown, and fight for the future of the elves.
Mission 3: Call of the Horde (Horde faction mission)
Letter from the Great Chieftain of the tribe, Ba Dao Wu Qing:
Elf girls, I know you guys have fallen out with those bastards in the Alliance. We in the tribe respect warriors the most, welcome to join us. I know we have had a lot of unpleasant experiences in the past, but only strength and glory are the true proof of a warrior. If you want to be a true warrior, come to the Dark Portal and join the tribe. The vast world of Draenor is waiting for you. 】
Well, very good and powerful.
After the initial confusion, the players of Stromgarde and Quel'Thalas said that this deal was a great bargain, and that it was worth it as it gave them an extra chance to reselect their faction.
You have to know that some professions are exclusive to a faction, such as the Paladin. If you go to the orcs or the night elves, you will definitely become a popular rare profession.
This made other alliance players envious.
However, despite this, most players eventually chose to return to the Alliance. After all, everyone has a sense of belonging to the Alliance, and the reputation of each kingdom is very difficult to gain. Once you change camp, these reputations will be gone.
However, there are also a group of high elves who choose to join the Dark Night Alliance and return to the big family of the elves, returning to their roots.
There was even a group of high elf players who ran to the Dark Portal to join the Horde. Most of these people were old players who had played World of Warcraft back then. They completely regarded the high elves as blood elves.
I was quite depressed when I was in the Alliance before, I just liked playing elves, but now that I got the chance, I decisively chose to run away.
However, the number of this batch is not too large. The main reason is that the Horde lost the Second Orc War miserably. The Great Chieftain was killed, and the tribe was deeply divided. Some old Horde players also looked down on it.
They all wanted to wait until Thrall established the new tribe before joining.
But some players also feel that this time of reconstruction is the time to test the will of the tribal warriors.
So he resolutely went to the Dark Gate.
Xueying Wuzong is such an old player of the tribe. Although he plays a handsome and pretty boy in the game, in reality he is a bearded old man in his fifties.
He was a loyal player of World of Warcraft back then. Now that he finally has the opportunity to return to the Horde, he decisively chose to go to the Dark Portal.
After three days of trekking, we finally arrived.
Looking at the towering Dark Portal in front of him and the orc guards around him, he couldn't help but recall the moment when he followed the army of tribal players through the Dark Portal during the Burning Crusade. Now that he was revisiting the old place, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
First find an orc officer to complete the faction selection mission. The content of the mission is very simple. The Alliance has sent an army to station on the edge of the Cursed Land and sent a large number of spies to monitor the movements of the Dark Portal. Hunt down an Alliance spy and bring his badge back to the orc officer to prove your loyalty to the tribe.
It's basically a replica of The Warlords.
It was certainly not difficult for Blood Shadow to hunt down Alliance scouts. He was a level 54 assassin, and was definitely a high-end player at this moment.
The task was completed easily. As the camp selection was completed, the neutral color of the surrounding orcs finally changed to the alliance color. After joining the tribe, I immediately received the second task, to meet the chief of the tribe - Ba Dao Wu Qing.
After traveling through mountains and rivers, they soon arrived at Hellfire Citadel. Now it has become a huge barracks with strict security, and countless orc troops are constantly being sent to the front line.
Seeing an elf player walk in, many orcs looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, there really are elves joining the tribe."
"Damn, elves are so damn good-looking. Why can we only choose ugly orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres? Damn, every good-looking one."
“We strongly request the game company to give the tribe a whole group of high-quality allied races.”
Blood Shadow Wuzong soon arrived at the door of the chief's hall. In front of him, former Alliance adventurers who came to join the tribe formed a long queue.
Ba Dao Wu Qing had to send dozens of people in waves to give them tasks.
Blood Shadow soon followed a group of similar elf players into the Chieftain's Hall.
Looking at Badao Wuqing sitting on the throne built with huge demon skeletons, Xueying Wuzong was quite curious. He heard that this guy was a player, but he could become the chief. He was really envious.
But she is really ugly, so Sal still likes her better.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (chief of the tribe): "You have come at the right time, adventurers from the Sky World. The tribe is now at war, and the front line needs cannons like you - er, I mean warriors, take this badge, it is proof of your service to the tribe!"
[System prompt: Complete the task 'Appointment with the Great Chief' and obtain the task reward - 'Tribal Badge'.
Xueying Wuzong took a look and found that it was just a blank ornament. This chief was so fucking stingy.
But since I've already added it, it's too late to regret. Besides, equipment and the like will naturally drop as long as there are monsters to kill.
Xueying Wuzong knew that the tribe was fighting a civil war. He had been following the developments in Draenor in his spare time. The war between the orthodox tribe and the evil fire tribe had come to an end. After all, the Badao clan led by Badao Wuqing was the orthodox tribe. They had adventurers to use and countless adventurers under their command as cannon fodder.
In the first battle, the Felfire Clan had a slight advantage with its large number of demon servants, especially hundreds of enhanced Hellfires, each of which was a BOSS-level monster. However, after those Hellfires were destroyed one after another by adventurers, the Felfire Clan immediately fell into decline.
Ba Dao Wu Qing is very good at taking advantage of the fact that adventurers can be resurrected infinitely. He would engage in a small battle every day and a large battle every three days. Each time, he would only send a small number of troops to attack, assisted by a large number of adventurers, to engage in a war of attrition.
Therefore, it is recorded in the Sky Chronicles that each time the Ba Dao Clan sent a hundred or two hundred people to defeat the Evil Fire Clan's army of thousands or tens of thousands, causing heavy casualties.
By continuously consuming the manpower of the Felfire Clan, the army of the Orthodox Horde advanced from the Hellfire Citadel to the Dark Temple in one breath. Now the Felfire Legion only has the last fortress of the Dark Temple left.
Thinking about the memories of staying up late to brush the Dark Temple when he was young, Xueying Wuzong couldn't help but get excited and he couldn't wait to join the battle.
One day later——
Boom! The sound of explosions came faintly from outside the Dark Temple. Grogo Evil Eye walked around the hall with an anxious expression on his face.
He pushed away the succubus servant who wanted to comfort him and walked straight onto the rooftop of the Dark Temple. Standing on the rooftop and looking down, he saw countless orc adventurers pouring into the huge square outside the temple like a tide. Even the more than 40-meter-tall magic mecha could not resist the siege of countless orc adventurers.
It collapsed under the attack of countless magic and artillery fire.
The adventurer easily wiped out the demon servants and orc infantry that blocked the way, and rushed into the temple with a roar. Some elves could be vaguely seen mixed in.
Oh fuck, it’s over, it’s all over, these beasts really don’t care about their lives, this is my final weapon of battle.
Grog Evil Eye wanted to cry but had no tears - he really had no tears. He now occupied the body of King Llane. Although this body was well preserved, it was transformed from the dead after all and had no ability to cry at all.
"It looks like you've failed, warlock." Mal'Ganis' gloating voice came from behind.
Grogo Evil Eye seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and looked back hurriedly, "Help me, Lord Mal'Ganis."
Mal'Ganis: "Your defeat is inevitable. Your incompetence and stupidity have left you with nothing to show for your efforts in this war. You greatly disappoint me."
I'm so disappointed! There are endless adventurers on the other side. How can I win?
The Burning Legion's army was supposed to arrive, and they threw hundreds of Hellfires and several magic mechas at me. I had to send people to summon them, organize their construction, and use all my hidden materials.
This is such a rip off.
But Grogo Evil Eye did not dare to show the slightest disrespect on his face, "I have shed blood for the Legion, I have been injured for the Legion, and I have even lost my life for the Legion, Lord Mal'Ganis, you can't just ignore me.
The Felfire Clan is the most loyal servant of the Burning Legion. Without me, Tyrant Blade will completely eliminate the influence of the Burning Legion from the tribe, and Lord Kil'jaeden's plan will fail. "
"Hehe, Lord Kil'jaeden's plan will not fail. It just requires a new executor. The Burning Legion never shows mercy to the weak. You have already failed, warlock. If I were you, I would run away."
Grog Evil Eye (Death Knight): "Fuck, you big bat, why are you so arrogant? Aren't you just an overseer? You guys in the Burning Legion are all useless. If you couldn't control the pit lord on the opposite side, I wouldn't have died that time. You want to run away? If I die, you can't live either."
Grogo Evil Eye finally couldn't hold it anymore and overturned the table.
Enslave the demons!
A pair of green shackles suddenly locked onto Mal'Ganis' body, but he burst into laughter and his body dissipated into the air like a broken bubble.
"Foolish warlock, your ambition and cunning are meaningless. I have seen through everything. My true body has already left here..."
The sound gradually faded away, and Grogo Evil Eye was completely dumbfounded.
boom!
The gate of the Dark Temple was finally blasted open. Because the Evil Fire Legion was a neutral force and didn't even have a copy, otherwise they could have relied on the copy mechanism to fight. Now thousands of adventurers were rushing in, and the few defenders in the temple were no match for them.
The adventurer killed all the orc warlocks and demon soldiers along the way with ease.
Grog Evil Eye didn't waste any more words and prepared to open the door and run away. The warlock was best at making portals, and he had already prepared a retreat for himself.
But before he could complete the spell, a dense swarm of flying dragons rushed over from the sky.
A rain of javelins and lightning arrows directly interrupted the spell.
Ba Dao Wu Qing rode on an evil fire dragon, looking down at him majestically.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Chief of the Horde): "Surrender, Grog Evil Eye. As long as you submit to me, I will spare your life, and I am merciful. You can become my deputy and assist me, just like Gul'dan and Doomhammer in the past. Of course, your clan should not think about continuing to exist. The Horde only needs my voice."
Grog Evil Eye (Death Knight): "I surrender, I surrender, you are awesome, my boss. I am convinced."
[World Announcement: After more than a month of brutal war, the Orthodox Horde successfully crushed the rebels of the Felfire Legion and occupied the Dark Temple. As a result, the orc forces on the planet Draenor were unified again under the ruthless rule of the Great Chieftain Badao.
This incident has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles. 】
A few days later——
Badao Wuqing walked into the company's meeting room in high spirits. Inside the meeting room, all the employees of the 'Tribe Company' were already on standby, all dressed in well-tailored suits and ties, looking quite business-like.
However, Badao Wuqing knew these people's backgrounds very well. They were all players in the game. There were rich second-generations whose families had money but were unwilling to work, there were brick-moving gangs who could not find a job and simply ran into the game to move bricks, and there were even some freeloaders who ran into the game to earn pocket money.
It really feels a bit unreal that we can take control of the tribe with the help of this group of people.
"Captain, don't worry. We have the right to rule the tribe, so we have a lot of opportunities. We worked hard for three days to come up with this Draenor development plan, so the investors will definitely be satisfied."
The one who spoke was Grogo Evil Eye. After he surrendered, Badao Wuqing pulled him into the company. Of course, he could not think of any dividends as a defeated general, but his salary was quite high. After all, he was a high-level hero and a warlock, so he was considered a rare magical talent.
Today is the day that Ba Dao Wu Qing is meeting with investors. The reason why the tribe was able to win so smoothly before was, on the one hand, the help of adventurers, and on the other hand, it also had a lot to do with the money in his hands. Previously, Ba Dao Wu Qing relied on his status as the chief of the tribe.
After raising hundreds of millions of dollars and recruiting many experts, they even took down the Abyss Lord, who was summoned by the Shadow Council with countless efforts. Of course, that poor warlock Grog Evil Eye was not someone who could defeat him.
But the money is not taken for free. The tribe must give an explanation to the shareholders about its next development plan.
The person I am going to meet today is the investor who has invested the most.
bite!
The sound of the elevator door startled Badao Wuqing, and he quickly adjusted his suit and tie.
The door of the conference room slowly opened and a wheelchair was slowly pushed in.
Sitting in the wheelchair was a pale, frail young man, pushed by a strong woman, and followed by two bodyguards.
Badao Wuqing was stunned for a moment. This investor was really strange. Why did he have such a style?
But he reacted quickly and didn't show any abnormality on his face.
"Ah, welcome, welcome. Hello, hello. I'm Badao Wuqing, but you can also call me Dao Ge or Lao Dao. I became the chief in the game by luck, but in real life I'm just an ordinary person."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, there is no need to be modest. Being able to become the chief of the tribe, whether it is through skills or luck, is part of strength. To be honest, I also play around in the Sky World when I have nothing to do. I heard that Mr. Chen became the chief and I admire him very much, so I provided investment to your company.
Don’t be too polite to me, don’t treat me as an investor, let’s just talk as players.”
