Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 415: Old Friend of the Night Elves
Murphy looked at his pair of dragon claws and thought that this was much more practical than ordinary dragon feast skills.
Although the Dragon Feast skill is extremely powerful, it usually has a cooling time. However, the Ancient Dragon Claw is a passive effect, which directly increases one's normal attack to the level of a small fatal blow. This will give you more confidence when fighting against the ancient dragon in the future.
So what if you are big? I will just dig out your heart and brain.
Just as he was thinking about it, a bolt of lightning shot at him. When he turned around, he saw that dense swarms of Naga sea witches had surrounded him in the surrounding water and were shooting lightning arrows and ice arrows at him.
In the sea water, the release of many magics will be restricted, but lightning magic is not among them. Ice magic is also relatively less affected, so Naga sea witches usually focus on lightning and ice spells.
But in Murphy's opinion, this lightning was just like a tickle and could not penetrate the defense at all.
"Little Naga, let me teach you what real thunder is!"
Dragon Thunder Storm!
Red lightning bolts fell from the sky and conducted deep into the sea. Although the sea water weakened the power of the dragon lightning, its conductivity greatly increased the killing range of the dragon lightning. Every time it struck, it would create a large area of red damage numbers.
Those Naga sea witches let out strange roars, and soon many Naga thugs, Naga warriors, fighting sharks, and deep-sea fishmen rushed towards Murphy frantically.
Murphy did not hesitate. After all, the dragons were not as agile in the water as they were in the air. He floated directly to the sea. After all, without the deep-sea monster, Naga had lost the chance to destroy the Storm Dragon King, so his mission was accomplished.
Boom! A column of water shot up into the sky, and the Storm Dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
In the sea, countless Nagas emerged from the sea, and dense lightning arrows and ice arrows attacked the air.
As Murphy flew higher and higher, in order to ensure the range, the Nagas gathered more and more densely.
Murphy looked at the crowd below, and his heart suddenly moved.
Dragon Thunder Shaping!
A lightning spear condensed in the dragon claw, but this time, Murphy did not throw it out immediately, but continued to accumulate the power of dragon thunder. The lightning spear became thicker and longer. The violent power of dragon thunder was restless between the dragon claws. The red lightning flashed and made a terrifying sound. If it were usual, the dragon thunder would have exploded because of the uncontrollable power.
But now, under the firm grasp of the ancient dragon's claws, the dragon thunder was completely locked between the dragon claws.
It is true!
Murphy was overjoyed, the Ancient Dragon Claw not only increased the damage of ordinary attacks, but also strengthened his control. This powerful force originated from the beginning of the universe. It was so strong that if used well, it would enhance more than just the ability in hand-to-hand combat.
After accumulating power for more than ten seconds, the Dragon Thunder Spear was about fifty or sixty meters long. Murphy then threw the Dragon Thunder Spear towards the sea.
Boom! The moment the Dragon Thunder Spear sank into the sea, it suddenly exploded, turning into a red energy ring that spread rapidly into the surrounding sea water.
Wherever the lightning ring passed, four-digit damage numbers exploded above the Naga's head. For the Naga, whose health was generally less than a thousand, it was almost a ring of death. All the Nagas died wherever it passed, and the exploded gold coins and various junk equipment covered the sea surface.
The scene was spectacular.
With just one strike, hundreds of Naga sea witches and various miscellaneous sea monsters were killed.
This scene was seen by the Naga commander who was directing the battle, and he was immediately shocked and furious.
Ruergas (King of the Tides): "Dragon! We have no grudges against each other, why are you attacking us?"
When Murphy turned his head, he saw a Naga sea lord riding a dragon turtle, pointing a trident at him and roaring.
Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "Hehe, tiny Naga, you are just like ants in my eyes. I crushed a group of ants. Do I need to explain to them?"
"Damn dragon, don't think you can ignore the majesty of the Naga Empire. The power of the master behind us is beyond your imagination. Face the wrath of the sea."
Ruergas swung the trident in his hand violently, and the surrounding sea water immediately swirled around him, as if he was brewing some powerful move.
However, before he could release his ultimate move, a white mist suddenly enveloped him, the sea water began to freeze and spread rapidly, even the vortex-like ocean currents were directly frozen into solid ice, and the power of frost surrounded the King of Tides with a slow and unstoppable trend.
"Quick, support me."
Several Naga sea witches around him immediately cast a frost protection barrier, but it was useless. The Naga Lord still wanted to run away, but his lower body had been frozen together with the sea water. What frightened him even more was that he could not break free at all.
Remove the magic!
Dispel magic!
Purification!
The Naga sea witches around were still trying hard, but it was of no use at all.
"What! What kind of power is this?"
In the blink of an eye, the ice spread up his body, completely freezing him inside.
A Naga lord wielding a trident, surrounded by swirling sea water, with a dragon turtle base beneath him, looks like a solidified sculpture. Go figure, it's quite artistic.
Murphy looked towards the boat, and as expected, it was Morgan Lisa who took action.
"Hahaha, did you see that? It's so cool." Morgan Lisa waved her staff excitedly and shouted to the people around her. This Tide King was also a terrifying BOSS, and he was killed in one move. This legendary dragon language magic was indeed powerful.
Then she immediately discovered a problem.
"Shit, there's no notification for killing the enemy, and I can't touch the corpse. Damn it!"
Murphy was speechless after hearing this. It was just that he couldn't touch the corpse. The Naga Lord was not killed, he was just frozen.
He flapped his wings and slowly landed on the deck of the Storm Dragon King, turning into a human form.
"You can unfreeze it after the battle is over, then kill it."
"Uh, it doesn't seem to work. My magic doesn't have a defrosting function. Let me take a look. Damn, I have to die before it can be unfrozen."
[Eternal Frost: A forbidden magic from before the birth of the universe. It is said that this kind of magic cannot be controlled. Only the death of the caster can free the sealed one...]
Murphy was speechless after hearing this. It seems that although Eternal Frost is powerful, it can only be used as a control skill. The frozen target cannot be killed, which is a bit of a pitfall.
However, there is no such thing as perfect in this world. Being able to kill a BOSS instantly can be considered a magical skill.
In just a short while, the battle on the night elves' side was decided. Having lost their commander and a large number of follow-up troops, the morale of the Nagas plummeted. The night elves on those warships finally gradually regained the upper hand and killed all the Nagas who had previously attacked the ships. A small number of Nagas jumped into the sea to escape.
At this time, the two fleets were very close, and the other side finally began to send signals.
Captain Shandell: "Prince Aidan, the other side sent a flag signal, let us follow."
"Follow them."
Murphy said.
The two fleets were half a nautical mile apart and were heading northeast. Behind the fleets, the ocean was filled with the corpses of the Nagas and the huge block of ice.
The fleet had just sailed not far when the dorsal fins of huge deep-sea snakes began to surge on the sea in the distance again. There were as many as four or five of them, and there were also "flying snakes" flying in the sky. They had the membrane wings of marine creatures, but could soar in the sky.
There were more than a dozen giant dragon turtles, each with its back packed with Naga warriors, like a mobile fortress.
This Naga army was obviously here to provide support, but what they saw was a tragic scene.
Countless Naga corpses drifted in the ocean currents.
"Look, it's Ruergas, he seems to be - not dead."
"Take him back!" roared the leading Naga lord.
…
Murphy did not see what was happening behind him. After the fleet had been sailing for more than an hour, a huge island finally appeared in front of them. The fortress, lighthouse, and port dock on the island could be vaguely seen.
The port is an excellent deep-water port with a circular dock and two fortresses at both ends. The walls of the fortresses are covered with crossbows and glaive throwers. There are also ancient guardians sitting on the embankment close to the sea. These ancient guardians can throw huge stones both into the air and at the sea.
Dense numbers of elven soldiers patrolled back and forth, providing strict guarding.
Murphy looked at it strangely, it looked like they were going to have a war.
After the fleet docked, Murphy also set foot on land with a group of heroes.
At the same time, the elven fleet also docked, and a team of elven warriors walked down from the ship and headed towards Murphy.
Leading the group was a very youthful and handsome Sentinel General with long blue hair and a delicate face. At first glance, he seemed to be in his early twenties.
But when he saw the rank and level above him, Murphy did not dare to look down on him in the slightest.
Shandris Feathermoon (Sentinel General) Epic Tier 2, Level 90, HP 14400.
Although the girl in front of him looks like a little girl, Murphy knows very well that this girl is a strong warrior who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
We all know something about Shandris Feathermoon Murphy. She is Tyrande's adopted daughter. She was adopted by Tyrande after the War of the Ancients and was trained to be an excellent Sentinel general.
Since night elves have long lives and plenty of time to level up, all night elves are at the highest level of the template cap.
According to some revelations in online forums, night elf NPCs of the same level often have more comprehensive skills and more powerful expertise.
Shandris Feathermoon (Sentinel General): "Greetings, human. Thank you for your assistance. What brings you to this distant land?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I am Prince Aidan from the Eastern Continent. I came here to defeat the evil dragon Ankarad the Devourer and passed through your place.
As for the help I gave you before, please don't mind me. I once fought with Lady Tyrande and Master Malfurion in Ashenvale. We are old friends of the night elves, and it is natural for friends to help each other."
Strictly speaking, this is not a lie. During the Battle of Ashenvale, Murphy played Deathwing, and he "fought together" with Tyrande.
Shandris Feathermoon understood it instantly.
During the Battle of Ashenvale, Prince Varian of Stormwind led a group of Alliance heroes to aid the night elves. Shandris Feathermoon knew this, and she thought the man in front of her was also one of the Alliance heroes who came to help at that time, and she immediately developed a liking for him.
"Yes, friends should help each other. If Your Highness needs any help, please feel free to ask. I am glad to see a hero of mankind again. Please come to the fortress to rest up."
Mo Fei thought to himself, this is what you said.
With the assistance of the night elves, this journey will surely be much easier.
As the two walked, Murphy asked tentatively, "Is there a war here recently?"
"Yes, the war has spread to various areas in South Kalimdor. The Ahn'Qiraj Zerg are expanding crazily and wantonly. In order to stop these evil creatures, the army of the Night Alliance is now confronting the enemy in Feralas. Brutal battles and conflicts break out every day."
It turns out that the fight isn't over yet.
Murphy thought, he did know that the Dark Night Alliance was at war with the Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj, he had seen news about this on the forum before, but he was not very clear about the reasons behind this war.
Logically speaking, the Zerg in Ahn'Qiraj should not have erupted at this time.
He couldn't help but recall the background introduction of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg.
According to the records of Warcraft history, a brutal war broke out in Azeroth a thousand years ago. Although the war ended with a tragic victory for the night elves, it had a profound impact on the future course of history.
This war became known as the "Battle of the Quicksands".
The cause of the war was the revival of Silithus initiated by the night elf archdruid Fandral Staghelm. In order to find water and try to revitalize this vast and desolate area, some night elf druids broke into the Palace of Ahn'Qiraj and awakened the dormant Qiraji insects.
But what is even more terrible is that the ancient god "C'Thun" imprisoned in Ahn'Qiraj drove the Qiraji insects into madness and attacked these druids.
Although the druids managed to escape, the Qiraji insects that covered the sky and the earth had gone completely crazy.
The Qiraji insect army emerged from the underground tunnels of Ahn'Qiraj without warning, quickly engulfed Silithus, and further expanded its sphere of influence to other areas.
Relying on their powerful reproductive ability, the Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj basically swept away all those who stood in their way with a crushing attitude, until they finally succeeded in attracting the intervention of the Dragon Covenant. With the addition of the dragon army, the night elf army was able to barely drive the Zerg back behind the high walls of Ahn'Qiraj.
However, even with the help of the dragon army, it was difficult for the night elves to completely eliminate the threat of the Ahn'Qiraj insects. The Ahn'Qiraj insects hid directly in the cave nests deep underground, where the ancient god C'Thun was imprisoned, and even the dragons did not dare to enter.
There was really no other way, so the night elves and the dragon army simply joined forces to summon a huge magic barrier, which was called the "Beetle Wall", which completely trapped the insect people inside.
Afterwards, the commander of the dragon army, the bronze dragon Anachronos, created two holy objects, one was the Scarab Gong and the other was the Quicksand Scepter.
The Dragon Legion gave the Scepter of the Shifting Sands to Fandral so that he could open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj in case they needed to enter Ahn'Qiraj again in the future.
However, Fandral went mad because of his son's death in battle, and directly destroyed the Scepter of Quicksands, indicating that he would never open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj.
According to the original timeline, it would take five or six years after the end of the Battle of Hyjal, that is, in the 60s of World of Warcraft, for adventurers to repair the Scepter of the Quicksands, reopen the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, and go deep into it to fight against the Old God C'Thun.
I didn't expect that the Battle of Hyjal hasn't even started yet, the Burning Legion hasn't even shown up, but the Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj has gone berserk first.
"But how could this happen? Aren't the Ahn'Qiraj bugs sealed by the Scarab Wall? And if I remember correctly, didn't the night elves also build the Cenarion Fortress outside the Gate of Ahn'Qiraj to monitor it and prevent the gate from being opened?"
This is a bit similar to the Alliance building Nethergarde fort to monitor the Dark Portal.
Shantis was a little surprised and wondered how the other party knew this information?
But after all, she was a girl who had lived for ten thousand years and was still quite shrewd. She nodded calmly.
"Yes, for the past thousand years, the Druids and Sentinels have been constantly monitoring the situation at the Gate of Ahn'Qiraj, preventing the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg from escaping.
Everything was normal, but not long ago, an orc army suddenly attacked Cenarion Hold. These savage beasts slaughtered the defenders in the fortress, and before the arrival of the night elf army, they launched a bloody sacrifice ceremony, destroying the seal on the gate of Ahn'Qiraj with evil and terrifying magic. What's more terrifying is that it is very likely that the terrible existence deep in the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj has been awakened.
Now the insects of Ahn'Qiraj are swarming everywhere like a tide. Lady Tyrande and the Centaur King Emperor Divine Martial are leading the coalition forces to fight to the death to stop them.
I was originally ordered to lead the troops on the island to reinforce, but to make matters worse, the Naga on the Terror Island also began to become restless and constantly attacked us. I had to lead the fleet to solve this trouble in one fell swoop, but the scale of the Naga army on the Terror Island was much larger than I expected, so the previous scene happened. "
Murphy had a guess in his mind that behind the Naga was the Ancient God N'Zoth, and behind the Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj was the Ancient God C'Thun. Although the Ancient Gods were competitors, they would occasionally cooperate in fighting against the indigenous creatures.
It seems that the Naga's attack was an act of N'Zoth in cooperation with C'Thun.
As for the mysterious orc army, Murphy also had some guesses.
Could it be the Abyss Legion led by Ner'zhul?
According to the tribal section on the game forum, this guy is said to have led a large army to dig up the ancient gods, but unexpectedly, the first one he dug up was C'Thun.
While he was deep in thought, Shandris suddenly said, "Although it may be a little presumptuous to say this, I wonder if Prince Aidan is willing to join the war against the evil insect swarm?"
