Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 455: The Power of the Tribe
At this moment, facing the siege of seven dragon knights, Murphy was not at a disadvantage.
The ancient dragon scales increase resistance to all elements. Whether it is the red dragon's fire breath, the blue dragon's frost/lightning breath, or the green dragon's poisonous breath, they are all blocked by his dragon scales.
The ancient dragon's body is extremely strong. With its huge size, he can fight against seven people at once and not be at a disadvantage. He is also very capable in close combat.
The Claw of the Ancient Dragon made these dragon riders extremely fearful. This thing could kill a dragon like tearing a chicken. They were just riding ordinary adult dragons, not even lord-level dragons. Facing the Storm Dragon King who had already advanced to the world boss, they had no chance of winning.
Previously they thought they could outnumber the enemy, but the Storm Dragon King easily killed two dragons and threw their bodies to the ground. The morale of the remaining dragon riders plummeted and they no longer dared to rush forward for hand-to-hand combat.
It was just breathing out from a distance, with quite a lot of noise, and all kinds of sound and light effects, but the damage was pitifully low.
However, the several orc heroes on the dragon's back made Murphy feel a lot of pressure.
Those who can obtain an adult dragon as a mount are all strong men in the tribe, and the lowest one is a hero of gold rank.
Especially the two orc warlocks, they are not immune to fel magic even with the scales of ancient dragons.
Fel flames and fel rays continued to attack him.
There were two more orc shamans and a troll witch doctor, who kept healing the giant dragon and other dragon riders. The light of the healing chain kept flashing in the air.
There are two more hunter heroes, one shoots arrows and the other throws javelins, and their damage is also not low. Although the scales of the ancient dragon can offset a lot of damage, once the opponent uses heroic skills, they can also deal a lot of damage.
Fortunately, Murphy is not an ordinary dragon BOSS. His single-target strength crushes these dragon knights in all aspects. He can resist, fight, and do AOE, and he will not be at a disadvantage when fighting against seven people at the same time.
The battle in the sky suddenly came to a stalemate.
At this moment, Grom looked at the two fighting parties, but did not rush to attack. He knew that he only had one chance. If he wanted to kill a dragon king, the only chance was a surprise attack. Once the opponent noticed him, it would be extremely difficult to take down the dragon head.
With a pull of the reins, he flew to the top of the storm.
Faced with the strong wind, he did not choose to fight against it, but circled upwards in the direction of the airflow, round and round, gradually flying above the storm.
Looking at the battle between the dragons diagonally below, he calmly estimated the distance and wind speed.
Closer! Closer!
When he was still fifty or sixty meters away from the opponent, Grom Hellscream loosened his hands and kicked his feet, leaping with all his strength. The whole person soared into the air as if flying, and the Blood Roar in his hand chopped towards the Storm Dragon King who was spewing thunder.
The moment he jumped out, the Storm Dragon King suddenly turned his head as if he had predicted the future, with a cunning look in the dragon's eyes.
Damn it! Grom's heart suddenly sank.
The next second, strong winds from all directions surrounded him, and the air currents of the strong winds swirled around him, forming an invisible cage.
Storm Cage!
This is one of the dragon abilities obtained after advancing to the Storm Dragon King. It uses the power of the wind to imprison an air unit. The target needs to pass an extremely high strength judgment to be immune to the control effect.
You want to jump and attack me? You're overthinking it. You think you're Hellscream - wait, fuck, it's really Hellscream.
Murphy was also surprised when he saw the orc who was attacking him.
The reason why he could foresee the opponent's sneak attack in advance was also because of the storm - the secondary storm field. As the master of the field, nothing in it could escape his perception.
All units within the entire storm coverage area appear directly on the minimap.
And he can freely enhance or weaken the environmental effects.
This is the power of domain capabilities.
Not only that, he can also control wind speed and force at will, and summon wind elements in the field to fight together.
Fighting in a territory naturally gives you the home advantage, which is why he dared to challenge the tribe alone.
Originally I just wanted to gain some experience points and plot points, and pick up a favor at the same time.
I didn't expect that an epic hero would come to give away his head, so I won't be polite.
No matter how powerful Hellscream is, as long as you don't let him get close to you, there is no need to worry about him being able to cause trouble.
Breath of Thunder!
-2789!
boom!
Hellscream waved Blood Roar in vain, but it was meaningless. The red lightning shocked his body and his health was instantly reduced by a large amount.
Breath of Thunder!
-3011!
Another dragon thunder, Grom's health bar dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it was only half left.
After all, heroes are no match for BOSSes. A hero of Grom's level only has more than 10,000 health points.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Feel honored, orc. Your small and pitiful life will add a touch of color to my legend. Now - die!"
Take a deep breath!
Murphy took a deep breath.
This is a skill that all lord-level dragons can unlock. It takes three seconds to cast and increases the range of your next dragon breath by 50% and its damage by 25%.
Breath of Thunder!
Elemental protection aura!
A spherical shield made of elemental energy suddenly appeared on Grom. It was an orc shaman who released a protective skill towards Grom.
Boom! The red lightning struck the spherical shield, and a burst of lightning flashed in all directions. When the lightning dissipated, Grom was unharmed.
The Sunset (High Shaman): "Don't be afraid of Grom. We are here to help you."
Barefoot Immortal (Prophet): "You are right, take a bite of my big tits first."
Trundle (Shadowhunter): "Tustin'hook!"
The green energy of life suddenly bloomed on Grom's body.
Hero Skill——Ancestral Healing!
+5600! A mouthful of milk almost restored Grom's health to full.
When Murphy saw this, he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. The memory of teaming up to slay a dragon in the past instantly came to his mind. With two big healers behind him to maintain the dragon's health, it would be difficult to kill it quickly.
As soon as they were stunned, the two hunters and two warlocks shot fel magic, arrows and javelins from all directions.
Murphy dodged hurriedly, and took advantage of the attack speed while the three assistants took turns to apply various BUFFs to Grom.
Bloodlust! Your attack speed is increased by 40% and your movement speed is increased by 50%.
Voodoo: Blood Rage! You take 15 damage per second and increase your physical damage by 25%.
Soul Link! 50% of the damage you take will be shared by other linked units.
Strength of the Earth! Your strength attribute increases by 20 points and your toughness increases by 50 points.
Petrified Skin! Your basic armor increases by 30 points, and your resistance to lightning and fire increases by 60 points.
Molten Weapons! Your weapons gain 50 points of additional Fire damage .
As one BUFF skill after another was bestowed upon Grom Hellscream, his momentum rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dispel magic!
Grom felt that the storm cage around him disappeared instantly. His body sank and fell downwards, but was immediately caught by a giant dragon.
Ten thousand thunders from the sky!
Boom! Countless electric currents shot out in all directions. Murphy used an AOE to repel the dragon knights. Turning around, he saw Grom standing on the dragon's back, facing him. The light effects of various BUFFs on his body made him look extremely imposing.
Facing a storm dragon that was a thousand times larger than himself, Grom raised the Bloodroar in his hand.
Grom Hellscream (Horde Warrior): "Storm Dragon King, you are indeed powerful beyond imagination. Maybe I am not your opponent, but you are not facing a single orc like me, but the entire Horde!"
ah!
He leaped up and hit the opponent on the head.
Although an orc extremely small, he did not dare to be careless at all. Man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Grom Hellscream is most famous for his leaping slash. In history, he chopped down the demigod Cenarius with one axe, and knocked down Mannoroth, the leader of the abyss, with another axe.
Even though he was a storm dragon, he couldn't say that he was definitely tougher than a demigod or more fragile than the boss of the Abyss.
Murphy did not hesitate - Thundercloud incarnation! He instantly transformed into a thundercloud.
Grom struck directly through the thundercloud, and his flaming bloody roar left a burning mark in the thundercloud, as if he had struck something, yet it seemed as if he had struck nothing.
However, the data doesn't lie.
-7983 (vital strike)!
A bright red number popped up, and Murphy turned back into the form of a storm dragon. I was shocked, but luckily I reacted quickly. Damn, the thundercloud form actually took away 8,000 of my health. You know, the thundercloud form can only withstand 50% physical damage.
That means Grom's axe dealt 16,000 damage! If it really hit the vital part, it would be hard to say.
Grom swung his axe in the air and was about to fall, but a green dragon knight immediately caught him.
He also gave Grom a sip of milk. Grom nodded at the orc shaman and jumped towards Murphy again.
Fearless slash!
Damn, come again!
Murphy had no intention of confronting Grom. As a magical dragon, there was no need for him to engage in close combat. As long as he kept a distance, there were ten thousand ways to kill him.
He dodged the dangerous attack with a dive and was about to turn around to receive the breath of thunder, but another blue dragon knight immediately caught Grom and pounced directly at him.
This guy certainly doesn't dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Storm Dragon King. He is just taking advantage of the power of the other dragon.
"Go Hellscream."
A spell of brute force was cast upon Grom.
Grom flew towards him again.
Jump and chop! Jump and chop! Jump and chop again!
These seven dragon knights were like playing a game of passing the ball. Every time Grom jumped and flew out, someone would immediately pick him up.
Not only that, at this moment on the ground, Badao Wuqing had mobilized thousands of shamans to cast dispelling spells together.
A thousand orcs performed ritual magic simultaneously.
"Storm Spirit, please calm your anger!"
"Storm, in the name of the elements, retreat!"
Waves of dispelling magic were injected into the Son of Storm. As more and more shamans participated in the spellcasting, the power of the storm became weaker and weaker.
Facing the siege of the dragon riders and listening to the chanting coming from the ground, Murphy thought that there really was a sense of unity. It seemed that it would be a bit difficult for him to challenge the entire tribe alone.
Murphy glanced down and saw that the elves had almost retreated. The work was done and it was time to leave. He was not going to fight to the death with the tribe.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Hahahaha, this is really impressive, the power of the tribe... Tiny orcs, you really make me look at you in a new light. It seems that even ants can still pose a threat to dragons as long as there are enough of them.
But it is meaningless, continue your war, rush blindly towards your own destruction, play your game of power.
I have more important things to do. Now, please excuse me - Kuangfeng, listen to my command! "
Summon a swarm of wind elements!
In an instant, wind elements from all directions gathered here.
Don't go! Seeing this, several orc dragon riders hurriedly chased after them, but countless wind elements immediately surrounded them from all directions.
Wind elements, storm elements, giant wind elements, hurricane elements, thunder elements, and various storm derivatives released strong winds, fired wind blades, and projected lightning at the dragon riders from all directions.
The damage of wind elements is generally not high, but their ability to control the situation is extremely strong. Dozens or hundreds of wind elements attacking together, even if they are just ordinary monsters, can make everyone busy and panic.
Wait until the dragon knights use dispel and banish spells to deal with the wind elements and dispel the storm.
The Storm Dragon had long disappeared.
All that was left was the devastation left by the storm.
…
The Storm Dragon slowly landed in a secluded maple forest.
Kaya Windrunner helped Sylvanas out from behind the woods, and the latter looked quite embarrassed.
Kaya Windrunner (Bright Ranger): "Thank you, Aidan. Without you, our Windrunner family would have been wiped out."
Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "I will never be stingy with my help to my allies, but friends are friends and they still have to pay a price. Are you ready for the reward you deserve? Mortal, are you ready to give up your faith in the God of the Sun and put yourself under the protection of the Storm Dragon?"
Kaya was speechless in her heart. She was not a role-playing player and she felt a little embarrassed about this tone of conversation.
However, after taking a look at Sylvanas beside him, he still showed a determined look.
"I am ready."
Murphy's help was not for nothing. Before, Kaya Windrunner came to him for help, and Murphy was thinking about how to develop the faith in the Storm Dragon and accumulate the power of faith. The Storm Dragon is not a god, but a divine creature that can absorb the power of faith, but it does not have the ability to grant priests/ministers divine powers, so it is very difficult to develop faith in it.
There is no other choice but to work for others to exchange for faith.
Hearing Kaya's request for help, we hit it off right away.
Murphy agreed to join the battle and give the elf an assist. He didn't care about winning or losing, as long as he could ensure the safety of several important heroes and cover the retreat in case they were defeated.
The price is that the Windrunner family must build a temple of the Storm Dragon in their own territory.
In this way, Murphy currently has three temples, one in Alterac and one in Haotian City. With this one, the belief in the Storm Dragon has some influence.
[World Announcement: The story campaign [Battle of Sunnyglade] has officially come to an end. After several days of continuous attacks, General Sylvanas finally gathered enough troops to launch a powerful counterattack against the Horde.
However, in the face of the tribe's powerful military advantage, the elves suffered heavy casualties.
At the most critical moment of the war, the Storm Dragon Aidandelon suddenly appeared. This powerful divine creature summoned a huge storm, forcing both sides to give up the fight.
The remnants of the elves took advantage of the chaos to evacuate the battlefield.
However, the tribe launched an attack on the Storm Dragon King. After the unremitting efforts of the heroes of the tribe, they finally repelled the invasion of the Storm Dragon.
Now that there is no harassment from the ranger army and no invasion from the storm dragon, Silvermoon City has been completely exposed to the tribe's front. An extremely tragic siege is about to begin. Can the tribe conquer Quel'Thalas? Can the Sun King maintain the glory of his ancestors? All the answers will eventually be revealed...
On the other hand, with the extraordinary power displayed by the Storm Dragon, a new belief emerged before the world. In the Thousand Winds Glades of Quel'Thalas, the mountains of Alterac, and the wilderness of the Barrens, some believers who worshipped the Storm Dragon gradually appeared.
They believe that praying to the Storm Dragon can save them from destruction and death in the storm, and the priests of the Storm Temple remain silent on this matter.
This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles. 】
System prompt: Based on your performance in this plot event, you have obtained 1027 plot points.
It's just over a thousand. Murphy felt a little regretful. It was a pity that he didn't kill Grom, otherwise it would have at least two or three thousand, and he would have been able to advance.
Now there is still a few hundred points short, which is somewhat embarrassing.
He gained a lot of experience points, and the orcs and elves he killed through environmental damage actually helped him level up.
In fact, the environmental damage is not that high. The main reason is that both sides were injured in the battle, and there were many units with low health, so a lot of soldiers were killed inexplicably.
Fortunately, Quel'Thalas has withdrawn from the Alliance and is now a neutral force, otherwise the Alliance's reputation would have suffered a lot.
