Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 417: Promoted to Legendary Hero
After hearing the words of the Great Emperor, Tyrande looked hesitant.
Tyrande questioned: "What if he fails? Not only will we lose a helping hand, but we will also lose an elite troop."
The Great Emperor Shenwu said: "I will personally join the dragon-slaying team and will definitely not fail."
"What about your camp? The Zerg may attack again at any time. I need your troops to assist me. The night elves alone cannot resist the tidal swarm of Zerg."
"My lieutenant, Shadow of War, will command the troops for me. And my Khans are brave and good at fighting. There won't be any problems in just one day."
Tyrande was finally convinced, "Okay, if you insist."
Tyrande looked at Murphy and said, "Prince Aidan, I am reluctant to accept your request, but if slaying the dragon is so important to you, then I can only accept it. I will send an elite force to support you and take you to Un'Goro Crater. I hope you will not forget your promise and help us fight against the evil Ahn'Qiraj Zerg after slaying the dragon."
Emperor Shenwu (Centaur King): "Haha, Lady Tyrande, don't worry. I believe that the noble prince of Alterac will never break his promise, don't you think so, Prince Aidan?"
Murphy...
These two people are singing the same tune, why do I suddenly feel like I'm being PUAed?
However, he had no time to think about it now. With the participation of the Dark Night Elites and the Divine Emperor, it was almost certain that he would slay the dragon this time.
The Shenwu Emperor is an epic fifth-level hero, and seems to be the highest level among all the player heroes currently available.
"Of course, as the prince of Alterac, my honor will never allow me to break my promise."
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "Then we will set out without further delay and try to reach Ankarlo Crater before dark and deal with Ankarad tomorrow.
Prince Aidan, please streamline your troops. My airship can only carry a maximum of 200 soldiers. The extra soldiers should stay in the barracks for the time being."
This reason is very sufficient.
Murphy thought for a moment and made a decision.
Obviously, the infantry and cavalry had to stay. These things were mainly used to protect the emperor, and they were of no use in slaying dragons, unless the dragon ran to the ground to fight a ground battle.
Murphy also kept Solar, who was a melee profession and was just right for commanding infantry and cavalry.
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Solaar, I'll leave these troops to you. If a fight breaks out after I leave, don't get too excited. Just show your respect and don't lose too many troops."
Murphy warned with some concern that although the Dragon Blood Giant Warriors and Dragon Armored Heavy Cavalry were not as expensive as the Dragon Riders, they still cost several thousand each, and the total cost of 600 troops was nearly three or four million.
Solar (Leader of the Dragonslayer Infantry): "Don't worry, Master Aidan. I know what to do."
I know that I have to keep him, and the remaining three must be brought along.
In addition, one hundred dragon hunting musketeers are also necessary, plus the 100 phantom archers and two hundred super-strong ranged soldiers promised by Tyrande , which is just enough for a whole ship.
In addition, all the dragon riders were also brought along, so they can fly by themselves.
When Murphy assembled his troops and arrived at the Centaur camp, he found that two airships were already ready to go.
"Huh? Why are there two airships?" Murphy thought that one airship could carry two hundred people, so two would carry four hundred people. If he had known earlier, he should have gathered more troops.
The Emperor Shenwu explained: "Don't be surprised, Prince Aidan. As the king of the Centaurs, I naturally have to bring some guards with me. We Centaurs are also excellent archers and have a lot of experience in fighting dragons."
This is absolutely true. In the Battle of Ashenvale, the Centaur Empire fought hard against the Dragon Legion. Although they suffered heavy losses, they also gained a lot of experience.
The group of Centaurs in front of us are not just simple guards.
[Centaur Archer (Level 5 Horse Archer).
Specialties : Powerful shooting, armor-piercing arrows, precision strikes, ultra-long range, anti-flying units]
[Centaur Wind Knight (Level 6 Comprehensive Cavalry)
Specialties of the army: Extreme speed, strong armor-piercing, lance charge, rapid shooting, anti-large units. 】
Although he couldn't see the attributes of the troops, Murphy felt more confident just by looking at the excellent equipment of these Centaur Guards.
Each Centaur Archer holds an Eagle-Strike Bow, wears no armor, and only wears an eagle feather cloak that increases movement speed. His main weapon is kite flying.
The Centaur Wind Knight is wearing plate chain mail, a mithril lance, and a hurricane longbow. He can shoot from a distance or charge with a lance. As the saying goes, all beings are equal under the lance. He runs at full speed and thrusts forward with all his strength. Relying on the speed damage bonus, he can deal more than ten times the physical damage.
One is against flying units, the other is against large units, but the Ancient Dragon is both a flying unit and a large unit (strictly speaking, it is a super-giant unit, but its anti-large unit includes large and larger units). It is definitely a professional player.
Murphy was a little suspicious. "Brother Shenwu, you are too concerned about this dragon-slaying operation. Do you have any plans?"
Without Tyrande by his side, Murphy was too lazy to pretend and asked directly.
The Great Emperor Shenwu burst into laughter.
"Of course I have a plan. People living in this world have reasons for everything they do. I must have my reasons for helping you. Otherwise, could it be because you're handsome?"
Murphy was speechless after hearing this. "That's not impossible." He muttered softly, "So what is your plan?"
The Emperor Shenwu was quite calm. "I need plot points to level up. I'm already at Epic Level 5. Do you know what Epic Level 5 means? As long as I level up one more level, I can be promoted to Legend.
I guess you must be thinking, isn’t there much difference between Legendary 1 and Epic 5? It’s just one more hero skill…”
Murphy's heart was moved when he heard this, "Isn't it?" he asked, but he already had the answer in his heart.
Definitely not.
The Great Emperor Shenwu spread his hands and said, "Haha, about this - I don't know either."
Damn it, Mo Fei thought, don’t you know what you are yelling about?
The Emperor Shenwu took it for granted, "There has never been a legendary hero in the player community before, so there is no reference information at all, so no one knows what is different about this legendary hero.
But I personally guess that becoming a legendary hero must be more than just having an extra hero skill and a hero specialty.
You can think about the legendary heroes who have appeared before, who are they?"
Murphy recalled that if he only looked at the existing legendary heroes... he only knew three legendary heroes so far, Medivh, Aegwynn, and Ner'zhul.
These three people are all in the legal profession and have the power to control and influence the world.
Needless to say, Medivh is the guardian of the Alliance and the culprit who opened the Dark Portal and brought in the orc invasion.
Aegwynn, the previous guardian, was a powerful sorceress who had independently defeated the incarnation of Sargeras, saved the world, and sealed the remains of the incarnation in the Tomb of Sargeras.
Ner'zhul, the spiritual leader of the orcs, historically blew up the entire planet of Draenor. Now he is likely to have dug out the Old Gods and is a villain who intends to destroy the world.
It is not difficult to see from the resumes of the three people that the legendary hero has the power to protect the world when he is whitewashed, and after turning evil, he will transform into a world-destroying BOSS with the potential to destroy the world.
Murphy looked at the Shenwu Emperor again. In comparison, the Shenwu Emperor seemed a little inferior. Although he was strong and had a huge influence, and was the leader of a faction, it was hard for people to feel that he had the transcendent feeling of controlling the world and rewriting the laws by himself.
The kind of terrifying power that can truly touch the essence of power.
The Emperor of God and Martial Arts spoke eloquently, "Although I don't know what the difference is after the legendary hero advances, I have discovered the biggest difference between the legendary rank and the epic rank."
Murphy asked tentatively, "Oh, what's the difference?"
He did not expect the other party to answer him immediately. He did not think that the other party would easily reveal such crucial information. Even if he wanted to tell him, he had to get some benefits.
At least that's what he would definitely do.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor Shenwu did not hesitate at all and directly gave the answer, "It is very difficult to upgrade the legendary hero. All the previous ranks can be advanced as long as there are enough plot points. The later the level, the fewer plot points are given, and the more plot points are required. Low-level plot events may not even give any plot points.
But at least if you practice more, you can always advance.”
Murphy nodded. He also felt deeply about this. He had participated in the Terror Island naval battle plot campaign before. Although he probably didn't catch up with the big battle and only got an assist, he killed a lot of miscellaneous soldiers and even killed a giant sea snake. In the end, he was given 150 plot points, which was simply a way to get rid of beggars.
This is only Gold IV, while the Divine Emperor is Epic V. With such a huge difference, the difficulty of advancement must be higher.
But this guy has an entire camp backing him up, so it shouldn't be that difficult for him to participate in plot events.
"But the legendary rank is different. Do you know how many plot points I have now? 4999/5000, just 1 point away from advancing."
What! Murphy was shocked. He immediately realized what the problem was.
Generally, the stronghold points given for participating in the plot are integers. It is almost impossible to give 4999, which is obviously not a normal phenomenon.
The only answer is that his upper limit is only 4999, and certain special conditions must be met to complete the final advancement.
"So you don't get any plot points for participating in plot events now?"
"That's right." The Shenwu Emperor said, nodding in appreciation of Murphy's sharpness.
"Let me guess, do I need to complete some special conditions, such as legendary achievements?"
Emperor Shenwu sighed, "I don't know about this. Anyway, the system didn't give me any hints. I also searched for information on the forum, but there was no useful information."
Murphy thought, of course not. There are no legendary heroes among the players, so how can I give you a reference? Besides, who can be as rich as you to invest hundreds of millions into the game? Epic Five is already the highest level.
"I still have no idea, so I'll try to participate in any plot events I can. I've slayed dragons before, but this is my first time participating in an ancient dragon. Maybe I can succeed."
Murphy nodded, "I see, I see. I think there is a good chance. The ancient dragon, maybe the goal of becoming a legendary hero is to defeat some special bosses and gain some amazing achievements. It's always a good idea to try more.
By the way, have you ever obtained a legendary feat?"
"I've taken it twice, but I took it before."
"That's right. Maybe you can get a legendary feat and advance at the same time."
But he thought in his heart that it shouldn't be that easy. He had obtained several legendary achievements and several legendary hero specialties. It didn't seem that difficult. The Emperor of Shenwu had such a rich family background that he would definitely be able to get them if he wanted.
But he had another guess.
Legendary heroes are called legendary because of the enemies they defeated, like Aegwynn defeating the incarnation of Sargeras, which made them legendary.
And Medivh himself is the host of the remaining soul of Sargeras.
Perhaps, only by defeating a world-destroying BOSS, or having the potential to become a world-destroying BOSS, can one be promoted to a legendary hero.
This information is very useful, although it does not mean much to him at the moment. After all, he is only at the fourth level of gold, which is quite far from being promoted to legend.
As we were talking, the team had already boarded the airship.
The two airships flew out of the airspace of the Centaur camp one after the other, climbing in altitude as they flew.
Three hundred dragon riders followed around, and three hundred horned eagle knights and three hundred harpies guarded the airship. The overwhelming air force made Murphy feel good. With such a huge air force, it would be like slaying a dragon, even if there were ants biting down an elephant.
However, not long after flying out, Murphy discovered that the troops he brought with him were really nothing.
As the altitude increased, he could observe the battlefield better. In the distance, he saw the barren wilderness. The vegetation of Felwood had been almost eaten away, revealing bare soil. Tall, tower-like insect nests rose from the ground.
Many dark wormholes can be seen on the ground, with many huge Ahn'Qiraj labor worms busy at work.
And above those insect nests and wormholes, a dark cloud was hovering over the insect nests.
However, when Murphy looked carefully with his dragon eyes, he was surprised to find that it was not a dark cloud at all, but a swarm of insects, the air force unit of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg.
Tens of thousands were circling.
This is just the military force of the main nest.
"Oh my god, so many?"
"Yes, that's all." Emperor Shenwu said with a wry smile.
"I've always thought that we centaurs are fertile enough. We have the blessing of the Earth Mother, the blessing of artifacts, and the expertise of heroes. Our fertility rate is very high, and we can produce millions of soldiers every year. However, the fertility rate of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg is several times higher than that of the centaurs.
No matter how fast the Centaurs reproduce, they only give birth one at a time. The Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj give birth in large batches. Their reproduction speeds are completely different.
In the first battle, I wanted to rely on my military advantage to defeat the enemy in one wave, but I almost got counterattacked. Fortunately, I built fortifications in advance and relied on defense towers to hold off the first wave.
The next few battles were basically defensive battles. In a battle in the wilderness, the only option was to run away, as the endless swarm of insects would overwhelm everything. "
There was a hint of fear in the voice of the Emperor Shenwu.
While he was speaking, the goblin driving the airship had already changed direction and was flying towards the Ancaro Crater.
