Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 429: Single Duel with Boss
But those are all things of the past. The most important thing at the moment, as Murphy said, is to defeat the Zerg in Ahn'Qiraj, destroy the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and seal C'Thun again.
At this moment, the fel storm had moved dozens of kilometers in the direction of Silithus. Wherever it passed, the Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj were killed and wounded everywhere. The sea of Zerg was forcibly cleared out from the middle like the Red Sea parted by Moses.
The Great Emperor Shenwu had already led his army of Centaurs and followed the storm to kill them.
Tyrande, Malfurion and others also knew the priorities and immediately organized troops to follow up.
Tyrande rode on a white tiger and led thousands of moonblade leopard riders to follow first, followed by the hippogryph riders. Malfurion also rode on a big horned deer and led thousands of druids to follow. Morgan Lisa, Shandris Feathermoon, and Asona led the Dragon Knights...
In short, all the elite troops that could fly and run, had wings and four legs, followed the gap. They had only one goal, to break through the middle and kill their way to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in one breath. As long as they killed the enemy's leader, no matter how many insects there were, they would not be a threat.
Murphy naturally transformed into a storm dragon, leading the Dragon Riders who gathered around him. He madly spit thunder at the insects on the ground while covering the army's attack route and advancing forward.
After the Zerg army regained some order from the chaos, they began to try to regroup. The Zerg boss leading the army also responded. General Ajax stopped the Shenwu Emperor, but was hit to death by the emperor with an Earth Binding and Dragon Fang attack.
Princess Haolan faced Murphy, and was killed by him with her heart ripped out at the first sight. Murphy didn't even notice that the other party was a BOSS. The main reason was that these insects were all colorful and it was difficult to tell who was who.
Although the Zerg are huge in number, they don't have anything outstanding in terms of individual strength. They are more of a commanding force, and their individual combat power is not very strong. On the contrary, the Sword Emperor Vek'nilas and the Demon Emperor Vek'lor, these two Anubisath giants are very powerful.
However, these two were obviously not putting in enough effort. They decisively chose to avoid the evil hurricane before, and now they have run to the battle lines on both wings.
Facing the aggressive Night Elf coalition coming from the center, Ner'zhul's face became increasingly gloomy.
Ner'zhul (Void Walker): "Hehe, you wimp, useless bastard. Bugs are just bugs after all. Those Anubisath giants are not as brave as they look. They are far inferior to the original Horde army."
Cho'gall (Twilight Chieftain): "Lord Ner'zhul, what should we do? Should we rally the orcish forces to join the battle?"
"No, there is no need to continue this war. There is no need to shed the blood of the orcs for the ruins in the desert. They have more valuable uses. Gu Gall, take the things we collected before and prepare to retreat."
Ner'zhul has never been a reckless and stubborn person. It is his habit to avoid troubles. Even now that he has obtained the power of C'Thun and has an absolute advantage in power, he still made preparations for both situations.
It would be better if he could win this battle, but he still remembered that his real goal was to seize the power of the Old Gods. The Zerg of Ahn'Qiraj were just a tool, and he would never fight to the death with the night elves for a tool.
He had previously used the Eye of the Void to witness the strength of the night elves' top fighters. Tyrande, Malfurion, and the Divine Emperor were all very powerful heroes. Especially as they were chosen by the gods, the divine power they displayed was extremely strong.
Now with the addition of the Storm Dragon King, although Ner'zhul claims to be powerful, he is not completely sure that he can defeat them all.
Since the Zerg in Ahn'Qiraj are no longer useful, just abandon them.
"Yes, Master."
Gugar said this and immediately went down to organize the retreat.
The 50,000 orc army of the Abyss Legion has already been prepared and is lined up in the wilderness southwest of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. If the situation is advantageous, they will be the decisive force to deliver the final blow.
But if they couldn't win, they would just retreat from the southwest coast. The shamans in the legion had already opened up a road to the coast. When they heard the order from Gugall, they immediately started packing up and running away.
They marched towards the southwest in a mighty manner.
A number of transport vehicles followed the team, loaded with a large number of treasures excavated from the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.
Ancient enchanted weapons, precious magic scrolls, obsidian statues, and a large number of insect eggs. As long as the conditions are right, they can cultivate the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg as servant units in the future.
Of course, without the queen insect and the insect nest, it will probably be difficult to recover to the current state in the future.
But it's still okay as a cannon fodder unit.
The orc army began to retreat, but Ner'zhul did not leave. The Ahn'Qiraj Zerg now depended on him for command, so he had to delay for a while. The Ahn'Qiraj Zerg army was still very large in number, and if possible, he was prepared to make one last attempt.
At this time, after advancing for hundreds of kilometers, the evil hurricane finally began to slow down gradually, and the wind force was much weaker than before.
Facing the fel storm that was so close, Ner'zhul was also quite surprised and puzzled. It was really hard for him to understand how the Storm Dragon King could cast such a powerful spell, especially the power of fel energy.
But it’s nothing for me!
As Ner'zhul thought to himself, his third eye suddenly opened and purple void power gathered in his hands.
Storm—go away!
Boom! The power of the void hit the center of the storm, and the force generated by the explosion instantly dispersed the hurricane, which already had little power.
The power of evil energy and the void mixed together, forming a huge shock wave, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere.
When the storm gradually dissipated, a horrifying black and green trail hundreds of kilometers long and more than ten kilometers wide was left in front of the eyes. There was no grass on the ground. The power of fel energy infected the land. Green wildfires could be seen everywhere. Most of the night elves avoided these areas in disgust, but the Centaur army in the front did not care at all. They trampled the smoking ground with their iron hooves and rushed towards the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj like a tide.
The Great Emperor Shenwu took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.
Defeating Ner'zhul would make him legendary - he was sure of that, but he was not sure how to do it.
Generally speaking, the rating for a scenario battle is determined based on your performance in the battle.
Therefore, I must play my best role in the battle to ensure promotion.
In a war of this scale, there must be a lot of heroes participating, and the more people there are, the less military merit they will get.
He was not sure how much merit he needed to be promoted.
If you can defeat him in a one-on-one fight, you will naturally have a good chance of advancing.
But if he was slow to act and a dozen heroes came over and beat him together, he would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, the fewer people involved in the battle, the better.
You definitely cannot defeat Ner'zhul alone. Even if you cooperate with two or three others, that is the limit. If there are more, it will be dangerous.
Of course, we are referring to the plot characters here. The miscellaneous soldiers and adventurers are just background boards, and it doesn't matter how many of them come.
It just so happened that he was accompanied by tens of thousands of troops. If Ner'zhul didn't have many soldiers around him, he could simply kill him by relying on his large numbers.
As long as there are no other heroes, this can be considered a 'one on one ' fight.
The gate of the Beetle Wall appeared before him. What surprised Emperor Shenwu was that the gate was actually open. Although there were some insects guarding outside the gate, their number was not too large.
A voice came from behind the door.
Ner'zhul (Void Walker): "Your master demands your sacrifice, worms. Kill these invaders."
Those Zergs that had fled because of the fel energy hurricane, under the control of powerful mental power, once again besieged the invading army.
The Emperor Shenwu did not hesitate, "Kill them, the Knights of the Wind, kill them with me! Shadow of War, stay here, don't let anyone affect my promotion!"
After saying that, the Great Emperor Shenwu led thousands of elite troops to defeat the Zerg that blocked the way with great force and rushed through the Gate of Ahn'Qiraj. The Shadow of War commanded the troops to start sweeping the surrounding Zerg troops and guard the entrance to the gate.
When the Emperor Shenwu led his troops to charge through the gate, what appeared in front of him was a huge platform. On the platform, a huge meat mountain was slowly rising from the ground. On the meat mountain grew a huge single eye with a diameter of more than ten meters, which was extremely eye-catching.
The Emperor Shenwu was startled and stopped in a hurry.
Thousands of Centaur Knights and Centaur Archers all stopped in the square.
C'Thun? Isn't it dead? The Emperor of God was shocked. The news he received was not detailed. He only knew that Ner'zhul absorbed C'Thun's power and upgraded.
But I didn't expect that C'Thun was still alive.
He looked up and saw that there was indeed a problem.
C'Thun's Husk (Flesh Golem) Level 100. HP 645,000.
There isn't even a BOSS logo.
Having lost most of the void power and C'Thun's old god consciousness, this empty body was no longer bound by the Titan seal of Ahn'Qiraj Temple and was forcibly transported to the ground by Ner'zhul.
At this time, Ner'zhul himself was standing on the giant eye, controlling this body.
In the square, the Centaur army occupied the place tightly, and the only enemy in front of them was Ner'zhul.
Ner'zhul (Void Walker): "You are courageous, Centaur King, but you have come to the wrong place. Facing a force beyond your reach, your reckless behavior will only lead to your death.
But I am kind and generous. If you surrender to me, I will grant you endless power. Your people are brave and good at fighting. They should not waste their lives here. Lead them to join me and fight for me!
Why run away from your nature? To conquer! To kill! To destroy! You are the same as us orcs, join me and I will share this power with you."
Only then did the Great Emperor Shenwu notice Ner'zhul under the huge eyeball.
Ner'zhul (Void Walker), a third-level world-destroying BOSS with 728,000 health points.
It's actually the third level of world destruction! ?
Although Emperor Shenwu had heard about it before, he didn't completely believe it. Deathwing at that time was only the first level of world destroyer. Although Deathwing at that time was not a complete body, so his strength did not reach the peak, he was still the king of black dragons after all. This guy was just an orc...
However, Emperor Shenwu has heard some words from analysts in the company. The BOSS rating of this game is determined based on its comprehensive strength.
In addition to individual combat power, it also includes command power, boss reputation, status, and the knowledge and wisdom possessed by the boss.
Ner'zhul's strength lies in his wisdom. He can blow up a planet, not by brute force.
So although he was at the second level of world destroyer before, his individual strength may not be comparable to the five dragon kings. But he can use his knowledge to allocate resources to achieve the goal of destroying the world.
This can generally be reflected in the blood volume. The blood volume of a humanoid BOSS is often less than that of other large BOSSes of the same rank.
But this guy, a mere humanoid BOSS, actually has more than 700,000 health points. This is too exaggerated. You know, the five dragon kings have only this much health points.
At this time, Emperor Shenwu faced such a powerful enemy, but he remained calm instead.
No matter whether we can win or not, we must perform well first and cannot lose face.
The Divine Emperor (King of Centaurs): "I am the descendant of Elune, the blood of the demigod Malorne, the son of the demigod Cenarius, and the chosen one of the Earth Mother Gaia. The blood flowing in my body is the noble blood of the gods, and I believe in the great Earth Mother.
You despicable orc scum, put away your vicious words and evil temptations, nothing can stop me from killing you here.
Your blood will soak every inch of this desert, and you and your master will be sent back to where they belong."
Ner'zhul (Void Walker): "Master? Humph, you foolish centaur, you don't understand what you are facing. I have seized the essence of C'Thun. I am the real master. I will seize more. When I absorb all the power of the old gods, I will rule this world."
Absorb the power of all the ancient gods? The Emperor Shenwu was a little surprised. This Ner'zhul was quite ambitious. But it was true that he might succeed. After all, he had already absorbed one.
As an old player, Emperor Shenwu is quite familiar with the history of Warcraft. Although Ner'zhul has no ability to accomplish things, he is very capable of committing suicide. In history, he could even blow up an entire planet.
It’s a pity that you met me today. I have five thousand elite troops here, and I can kill you even if I pile them up.
So what if you have 700,000 HP? I have so many brothers. If each of them has one gun and one arrow, you will die.
This Ner'zhul was too arrogant and didn't even leave a single monster around him.
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "It's a very ambitious plan, but unfortunately you met me. Your ambition is doomed to fail - attack! My warriors, kill him!"
Countless Centaurs launched a charge, their iron hooves shook the earth, and the collective charge of thousands of Centaurs seemed unstoppable.
However, Ner'zhul just snorted coldly, "It is time for you puny mortals to realize the true power."
Wake up C'Thun, wake up the incarnation of flesh and blood!
The huge single eye slowly looked towards the Shenwu Emperor. The Shenwu Emperor's heart trembled. A strange purple light was condensing in the single eye, and an ominous feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
Soul annihilation ray!
Swish! The soul-annihilating purple light instantly refracted across the entire scene.
