Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 413: Target - Kalimdor
Bhakt Anvimar moved quickly.
After spending only one day in Ironforge, he was busy with his cause of restoring his country.
Although he claimed that he wanted to re-establish the ancient dwarf kingdom, Bucket did not set out in a hurry. Instead, he wandered around Ironforge. At the end of a day, he actually managed to attract more than a dozen followers.
There are dwarf rangers, scholars from the Explorers' Society, mercenaries, and even a few adventurers.
The journey to the Blackrock Mountains is long, and there are bound to be some dangers along the way. It is important to have some subordinates to act.
On the third day, Bakt said goodbye to Murphy and Muradin and set off with his expedition team.
Murphy didn't pay much attention to Bucket's adventure, he still had his own adventure to go on.
December 6th - Outside Ironforge
Today is a rare good day, with no wind or snow. The early morning sun shines on the snow-capped mountains of Dun Morogh, reflecting a crystal light.
Murphy followed Muradin out of the gate of Ironforge, the snow crunching under their feet. When the two arrived at a training ground on the hillside, at this moment, a full hundred dragon hunting musketeers were already ready to go. They were wearing dragon skin cloaks with fire resistance, carrying critical hit shotguns that were taller than them. Each of them had a mighty beard and an amulet made of dragon teeth hung around their necks.
It looks very domineering.
Muradin (King of the Hill): "Look, Aidan. I have specially assembled these for you. They are the best warriors in Ironforge, a full 100 dragon hunting musketeers. With them, we can defeat any dragon."
"Only a hundred?" Murphy said greedily.
Muradin glared at him immediately. "One hundred is not enough? These are elite troops. Even a prince cannot easily mobilize them. If it weren't for you helping me solve a big problem, I would not be willing to send them to you."
Murphy thought to himself, okay, the Dragon Hunting Rifleman is still very powerful.
He had already learned about the properties of this extraordinary soldier yesterday. It was a level six soldier that could not be mass-produced, had super long-range capabilities, and if one hundred dragon-hunting musketeers could stand still and output, a round of volleys would definitely cause over ten thousand damages.
The leader of the team was none other than Hemet.
Hemet Nesingwary (Beastmaster Hunter): "Prince Aidan, Hemet Nesingwary is here to serve you. I heard that you are going to hunt dragons. Hehe, this is really a great feat. I am happy to be able to take part in this hunt."
"I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Nesingwary. I hope to see you in action. This time we are going to hunt an ancient dragon. Are you confident?"
Hemet Nesingwary is a very famous hunter in World of Warcraft. Murphy has heard a little about him. Apart from that, he always feels like someone seemed to have mentioned this person to him before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
I looked at Hemet's profile picture.
Hemet Nesingwary (Beastmaster Hunter), Gold Tier 5, Level 79, HP 8850.
Noticing the way Murphy was looking at him, Hemet started boasting to himself.
"Hey, I'm a professional. Do you see my sword? The Scarlet Flame Dragon Fang Scimitar. It's the trophy I got when I hunted a black dragon.
This pair of leather boots - Swift Snakeskin Boots, is the trophy I got when I hunted a giant Hydra.
This pair of wristbands - the Wrathful Tiger Wristbands - were made from the fur of Tiger King Amin, whom I hunted in Stranglethorn Vale.
And this cloak - Shadow Fang Cloak, comes from a ferocious shadow cheetah. That beast was really cunning. I fought with it in the jungle for three days and three nights before I killed it. I made this cloak with its fur. It is quite warm. How about it? It is beautiful, isn't it? "
Shadow Fang! Murphy suddenly remembered.
When he was still playing Black Dragon, his consciousness was once eroded by Morpheus. For this reason, he specially went online to ask for advice, and at that time he met a player named Shadow Fang.
The unfortunate Shadowfang was playing the Beast - a shadow cheetah named Shadowfang.
I vaguely remember that the guy was killed by Hemet.
Wow, it seems that this cloak is that guy’s relic.
Murphy looked at the soft black fur cloak, which shimmered in the sunlight and was extremely gorgeous.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Murphy couldn't help but sigh, "It's really beautiful."
Murphy took into account the current lineup. With the super hunter Hemit and the powerful mage Morgan Lisa, the long-range damage would be guaranteed.
I act as the main tank, and the Vikus guy acts as the off-tank. Now all we need is a healer.
In fact, if conditions permit, Murphy would certainly hope to find more people.
However, the more people there are, the more equipment will be distributed, and there are too many people and too many tasks to do. Now is a time of trouble, so it is better not to bring people in casually.
"Muradin, has the treatment you promised arrived?"
"It's here, it should be here soon - hey, look, isn't it here?"
In the sky, a griffin slowly descended, and the cute big-breasted girl jumped off the griffin.
Muradin (King of the Hill): "Haha, look at what I said, cute big tits, you are finally here. The kingdom needs your service. I have an important mission for you. Um, serve as a military chaplain for my good brother for a while."
Meng Meng's big breasts just jumped down from the griffin, looked at Murphy's stunned face, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Aidan."
Murphy didn't expect Muradin to call her over.
"Don't you have a church mission to complete? Why are you here?"
Meng Meng Big Boobs also looked helpless, "Church missions are important, but kingdom missions are more important. If I don't do this, my kingdom's reputation will be deducted. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm a dwarf after all."
Muradin was surprised and said, "So you two know each other. That's easy. You can discuss it slowly. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away on his own.
Murphy was a little curious, "What exactly is your church going to do? Is there any big action that requires so many people?"
Meng Meng's big breasts whispered mysteriously: "I usually don't tell others about this kind of thing, but Brother Aidan is certainly not an outsider. Our church has called us to plant trees."
"Planting trees? Why would I ask you to plant trees?"
“Use holy light to empower the tree, and inject holy light energy in turn. I heard from Archbishop Fao that once the tree grows up, it will greatly enhance the capabilities of all holy light professions. The effect can affect the entire eastern continent, and it can also increase the number of holy light practitioners, and even breed a physical incarnation of holy light. In short, this is a major project that will benefit the present and future generations, and all members of the Holy Light Church must participate.
When I left, even the Knights of the Silver Hand had arrived, as well as all the Holy Light practitioners from different factions in different places."
Murphy was amazed when he heard this. He had been worried that the Church of Holy Light was going to take action against Varian.
I didn't expect it to be a tree, but from what I heard, this tree seems to be unusual.
He wanted to know more, but the cute big tits refused to say anything more and asked instead.
"Brother Aidan, what dragon are you going to hunt this time?"
"Ankarad the Devourer is an ancient dragon that lives in Ankaror Crater. But don't worry, this creature shouldn't have the disgusting ability like Boileus's Eternal Frost last time. We just follow the routine and it will be a safe bet."
Murphy wasn't completely sure about this, but with the passive skill of Bluff Master, he had no pressure in talking nonsense.
Mengmeng big breasts believed it.
"That's good. It was too dangerous last time. Although Brother Aidan is very strong, I still think that there is no need to take such risks all the time. Only by developing slowly can we go further."
Now that the heroes and the army are assembled, the next step is to get the adventurers.
Adventurers are still in great demand, so Murphy directly issued an announcement in his capacity as the Duke of Protector of the Country to recruit adventurers.
[Alterac Federation Decree: Prince Aidan, the Protector of Alterac, issued this decree. The content of the decree is as follows:
The fleet of the Ancarlo Crater Reconstruction Team is ready and will set off in three days. We are recruiting adventurers above level 40 to join the fleet. There are 1,000 places in total, and they will be filled up first. No tickets are required.
Target - the ancient dragon Ankarad. Anyone who participates in the killing will be rewarded with Alterac Federation reputation and a large amount of gold coins, as well as the kingdom title - Dragon Slayer.
The top ten adventurers with the greatest contribution will be rewarded with a Storm Dragon mount.
PS: I am going with the army, so my safety is guaranteed. If you want to come, please send me a private message. 】
Less than a day after the announcement was issued, responses came in droves.
However, the quality of adventurers this time is obviously not as good as last time. There is no way. Kalimdor is much less attractive than Northrend.
Because many players have already arrived in Kalimdor through various means before, even Kul Tiras and Gilneas have opened routes to Kalimdor, and there are also hundreds of thousands of adventurers from the Night Elf Alliance. Compared with a wild virgin land like Northrend, it is obviously not that attractive.
That is, some guilds that haven't been there yet want to take advantage of the opportunity.
There are also those who covet the Storm Drake mount. Flying mounts are still high-end products in this game.
And although there are many adventurer players, there are only a limited number of them above level 50. Most of the 1,000 adventurers from the last time stayed in Northrend, so it would not be so easy to recruit another 1,000 top players.
But Murphy was not picky. Adventurers were mainly used as cannon fodder and pathfinders anyway. The real dragon slaying depended on heroes like them, so it was fine to use any of them.
Soon, a thousand adventurers were gathered. Most of them were in their forties, and there were only one or two hundred people above level fifty.
One thousand Dragon Knights (300 Dragonblood Warriors, 300 Dragon-Armored Heavy Cavalry, 400 Dragon Riders)
100 Dragon Hunters.
1,000 adventurers of various professions.
After boarding the fleet, the fleet sailed towards the continent of Kalimdor in a mighty manner.
It takes four or five days to cross the Endless Sea and reach Kalimdor. With nothing else to do, Murphy gathered several of the main heroes together to discuss the dragon hunting plan.
He first decided to mark the marching route on the map.
Ankaron Crater is located in the southern part of Kalimdor. There are three routes to choose from to get there.
The first route is to land at the Steam Port in the southeast of Kalimdor and cross the Tanaris Desert to reach the destination. The biggest problem with this route is the harsh environment of the Tanaris Desert. Tanaris is extremely hot and there are few oases. Marching in the desert will be affected by the [Heat] DEBUFF, which can be stacked up to ten times. The heat will make the player gain thirst. The more layers of heat, the faster the thirst value increases. Once the thirst value reaches 100%, you will begin to lose health continuously and slowly. You must continue to replenish water to remove the [Heat] state, otherwise it is easy to die there.
The second route is to land on the Forgotten Coast in the southwest of Kalimdor, pass through the vast jungle of Feralas, and arrive at Ankaror Crater. There are two dangers on this route: the active Naga on the Forgotten Coast and the sinister beasts in the Feralas jungle.
The third route is to land at the Stormrage Coast at the southernmost tip of Kalimdor, cross the Uldum Desert, and arrive at Ankalo Crater.
The Uldum Desert is much more suitable than the Tanaris Desert. There are many oases located in between, and there is even a kingdom of tiger people (Tol'vir) where many tiger people live.
However, it is a storm-prone area, and the throne of the wind god where Al'Akir, the king of wind elements, lives is located above Uldum.
"Prince Aidan, I wonder which route you plan to take?" After listening to Murphy's introduction, Hemit couldn't help but ask.
Murphy pondered for a moment. He definitely would not consider the first option. How much water would so many soldiers need? Unless there were a large number of mages to help make water, it could be considered.
As for the third way, he is not afraid of the storm. As the son of the storm, he might even become familiar with Al'Akir. After all, Al'Akir is also a follower of the God of Storms.
But apart from this, there are not many benefits to taking this path. Odum is still very closed and there is not much information to refer to.
The Tovir people seem to be engaged in a civil war as well, and getting involved will bring a lot of trouble.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's take the second route, land at the Forgotten Coast, and pass through Feralas."
The advantage of this route is that all threats come from monsters, whether they are Nagas or beasts, just kill them all.
Just consider it as a leveling opportunity.
After determining the route, several people started discussing the specific battle plan.
"Ankarad the Devourer is said to be a gigantic ancient dragon with a huge appetite. He feeds on the local Devil Tyrannosaurus Rex, but he doesn't have any special abilities."
Hemet said, "Don't worry, Prince Aidan. When the monster appears, our dragon hunting musketeers will teach it a lesson."
Meng Meng Big Boobs reminded, "By the way, Morgan Lisa, didn't you get a legendary magic scroll? Did you learn it?"
Morgan Lisa shook her head. "Don't mention it. I thought it was the Dragon Language, but later I found out it was the Ancient Dragon Language. There is no place to learn this. I went to the library in Dalaran and also looked for the Royal Scholars in Lordaeron, but no one knew it."
