Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 482 Shadow Island
The three demon lords stood together, and a dark wind from hell blew in their faces.
Among the three big demons, Dia Pineapple is obviously the boss. Standing in the middle of the team, he has the highest rank. He has a red demon skin color and looks extremely eye-catching.
Dia Pineapple (Eredar Demon Lord): "Hahahaha, after more than two years in that hellhole of the Twisting Nether, we can finally dominate this world. Well done orcs, you have served the Burning Legion very well."
Ba Dao Wu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "You're welcome. Just remember to pay."
Dia Pineapple (Eredar Demon Lord ): "Of course I will give you the money, but... tell me, orc, if I spare your life now, how much is it worth?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
The sense of oppression brought by the three world-class BOSSes is indeed huge, especially the existence of a relatively high-profile background like the Demon Lord, which is even more terrifying than the local BOSS.
Badao Wuqing cursed inwardly, these damn acting masters are still acting, but he really didn't dare to be careless. Anyone who can train a BOSS account like Demon Lord must be a rich man. Such people have no scruples when playing games. It would be hard to say if they really come to rob each other.
Fortunately, he was prepared and snorted coldly.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (chief of the tribe): "Demon, put away your face. You are facing the entire tribe. I can summon you and send you away. If you want to be the enemy of the tribe, I don't mind letting you know what true power is!"
As he spoke, he took a step sideways without leaving a trace, just in time to reveal Grom Hellscream behind him. The latter already had Bloodroar in his hand, looking as if he was ready to chop someone down if they disagreed with him.
This person was the one who jumped and slashed Mannoroth. The appearance of Hellscream immediately made the faces of the three demon kings freeze, especially Baal, who had a toothache expression. He looked at the boss and then at Ba Dao Wuqing.
The surrounding Ku'karon guards also picked up their weapons. Further out, there were wolf riders, dragon riders, catapults, and Scorpio crossbow carts, all on alert.
With this formation and configuration, even if we fight against three world bosses, we can't guarantee a win.
Mephisto (Dreadlord): "Hahaha, don't be nervous, orc. We are just joking with you. We demons are very disciplined."
Baal (Lord of the Abyss): "You are right. The Alliance and the Night Elves are our common enemies, don't you think so, Boss?"
Dia Pineapple (Eredar Demon Lord): "Hahahaha, you're right. At least before the Alliance is destroyed, there's no need for us to go to war. But the Overlord is ruthless. When the Burning Legion descends upon this world, you must make a choice: submit to the Legion or be crushed by it. Think about it carefully. This is a chance I'm giving you because of our cooperation. Don't waste it."
Badao Wuqing immediately received a system prompt.
[System prompt: Your account has received a transfer of 100 million points, please check it in time. ]
Badao Wuqing checked his account and was immediately delighted, thinking that he had made a lot of money on this trip.
"Brothers, let's go."
The three demon kings had no intention of staying. They directly opened the portal and ran away, with no intention of staying to join the battle.
Grom walked up to Tyrant Blade Wuqing, looking a little uneasy, "What exactly do these demons want to do? What do they mean by the Legion?"
Ba Dao Wu Qing thought to himself, what else can he do? He must pave the way for the Burning Legion.
Yes, Grom doesn't know about the Burning Legion yet. Most orcs only know that fel energy is a power bestowed by demons. As for the purpose of these demons, the orcs do not fully understand. The one who really knows the inside story is the warlock group headed by Gul'dan.
Even Ner'zhul only learned the truth later.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Horde Chieftain): "I don't know, nor am I interested in knowing. Let the Alliance worry about it. It's time for us to leave. Grog Evil Eye, get your people to act. It's time for us to retreat."
The Sunwell had been harmed by the Horde in various ways before, and today three more demon lords were summoned. At this time, the Sunwell's energy was only one third left.
However, Tyrant Blade Wuqing had no intention of wasting these energies. He arranged a retreat for the Horde army by using the energy of the Sunwell to open a super-large portal and withdraw the entire Horde army through the portal.
Even the access points are ready-made, so you just need to connect directly to the Dark Portal.
This kind of ultra-long-distance portal is so huge that the mana consumption is not much lower than that of summoning the three demon lords. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be used at all unless there happens to be a space rift, like the Dark Portal.
But now with the power of the Sunwell, everything is no longer a problem.
Anyway, it’s free energy that should be wasted.
The Demon's Gate was activated again, but this time the spatial coordinates led directly to the Dark Gate.
Teleporting to the same plane was much easier than summoning a demon lord, and the link was established quickly.
Grog Evil Eye (Fel Knight): "Great Chief, this portal is completely dependent on the energy of the Sunwell. At its current efficiency, it can only last for one day at most. I'm afraid we can't withdraw all our troops."
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Tribe Chieftain): "There is no need to withdraw all of them. Just leave those adventurers to fend for themselves. They can run away with their corpses anyway. There is no need to bring back those cannon fodder troops. They are just garbage soldiers and they didn't cost much anyway.
Prioritize sending back the main force, the elite troops, the looted supplies and treasures, and the elf captives, and proceed according to the retreat plan we made earlier."
Grom Hellscream looked incredulous. "You are going to abandon those warriors who fought for you? All of them? An orc should not be afraid of fighting."
Ba Dao Wuqing said angrily: "I'm calling this conserving our manpower. Besides, I'm the chieftain, and I have the final say on the orcs' code of conduct. I paid for those soldiers, so why are you so anxious? Listen to me and retreat!"
At Badao Wuqing's command, the orc troops began to retreat in order.
A large number of cannon fodder troops were left behind as scapegoats.
Adventurers naturally couldn't run away first, but the noise here was too loud and it still attracted the attention of some adventurers. Suddenly, a group of people sneaked over and wanted to enter the door. Badao Wuqing didn't refuse. It was okay for these people to run away, as long as they didn't cause a big disturbance.
Soon, groups of orc armies began to retreat through the portal.
The fire in Silvermoon City was enough to delay for a while, which was enough time to withdraw the main force.
As for the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops, just use them as cannon fodder. They are just rubbish soldiers created by the system anyway. It won't be a problem as long as you have money.
This trip, by selling well water, summoning BOSSes, infusing energy, and forging artifacts, made at least two or three hundred million yuan in profit, which can be said to be a huge profit.
Moreover, a new race was added to the tribe and many valuable treasures were robbed. This war can be said to be a great victory.
Although the Alliance and the Dark Night Alliance discovered the situation and launched an attack hastily, they ultimately only wiped out the hundreds of thousands of low-level troops left behind by Ba Dao Wu Qing.
When night fell, Badao Wuqing led the last of the main force and retreated into the portal, which was then blown up by the adventurers who stayed behind.
[World Announcement: In the year 1442 of the Sky Era, after occupying Silvermoon City for less than half a month, the tribe used the power of the Sunwell to summon three powerful demon lords, and then retreated from Silvermoon City. Through the ultra-long-distance portal, most of the tribe's troops successfully withdrew from the battlefield.
Despite this, nearly 200,000 troops and a large number of adventurers were massacred.
The failure of this battle marked the end of the Third War for the Horde.
The armies of the Alliance and the Night Elf jointly attacked Silvermoon City and conquered the city. However, Silvermoon City had already been destroyed and the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas was severely damaged.
And with the end of the war, the division of the high elves became a foregone conclusion.
Prince Bloodshadow Chonglou led a group of high elves to join the tribe and became traitors of the elves. They called themselves Kel'dorei, which means survivors, people who would survive at all costs.
Princess Sylvia led a group of high elves to join the Night Elves Alliance. They called themselves Ain'dorei, which means returnees, and returned to the big family of night elves.
Prince Kael'thas led most of the high elves back to Silvermoon City, which had become a ruin. After a secret talk with King Godwyn, Prince Kael'thas led the high elves to rejoin the Alliance and became a vassal state protected by Lordaeron.
At the same time, the arrival of the three great demons has brought more crises to the world.
This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles. 】
"What, the tribe ran away?"
When Murphy heard the world announcement on the ship, he was quite surprised. The tribe's plan was really very strict, with one thing leading to another, and they had planned a retreat since the invasion of Silvermoon City.
It was just a pity for the high elves, as the royal city was destroyed and the holy land was in ruins.
There was also a direct split internally.
But it is not entirely a bad thing. From now on, each member of the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf will have an elf branch, truly realizing cross-faction races.
Whichever camp rises will benefit from it.
And it is estimated that this race will have the largest number of adventurers.
Another thing that concerned him was the three demon lords summoned by the tribe.
Before, he was still curious about how the Burning Legion would come. It seems that it depends on these three demon lords. The demons themselves are experts in summoning and teleportation spells. If they are allowed to obtain enough resources, they might bring the entire Burning Legion to this world.
But it doesn’t matter. When I get the power of the Dragon God, the Scourge and the Burning Legion will all be nothing but trash.
At this moment, just in front of the fleet, the outline of Shadow Island finally appeared on the sea level, and a small island shrouded in dark shadows appeared in sight.
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Warriors, prepare to land on the island! Dragon Knights, send out reconnaissance troops to confirm the target's location."
This time he brought a total of 600 Dragon Riders and patrolled the sky, and sent 100 of them out to conduct reconnaissance.
Twenty reconnaissance teams, consisting of five dragon knights in a group, flew towards the island.
The fleet was preparing to drop anchor near the coast.
However, one hundred dragon patrollers swept across the island like a net, but did not see any trace of a dragon.
Shadow Island is not very big, and there are no high mountains or dangerous valleys. There are only twisted gray trees. Due to the influence of the power of shadow, most of the creatures on the island are semi-undead and their numbers are extremely small.
Murphy listened to his men's report, but he was not too surprised.
So that's how it is. Does the mysterious man want to use this trick to force me to be his vanguard?
Find a way to get rid of the dragon you want to slay in advance.
Murphy was almost 100% certain that this Netherworld Dead Dragon Freshanks must have been notified and persuaded to leave by the other party in advance.
These ancient dragons all know each other, so it is not difficult to do this.
As for the purpose, it is nothing more than to make himself a target in the sealed prison.
But how did this guy know his destination?
Murphy had a feeling that unless he acted , if he led a large army into battle, he would surely come up empty-handed the next time.
These ancient dragons can all fly, and they will definitely run away as long as they are notified.
Of course, this may not be the case if it is the type of dragon king that builds a nest.
However, those dragon kings that have nests and monster servants are relatively powerful. Hunting them is very dangerous and troublesome. You also have to enter a dungeon. Once you enter the dungeon, you cannot transform into a dragon, which makes it difficult to fight and takes a lot of time.
Like when I went to kill Borelios, I was busy in Northrend for half a month and even built a city before I could get it done.
I almost crashed after entering the dungeon.
I don't have that much money and time to spend. If I want to complete the ancient dragon path quickly , the best way is to attack those lone ancient dragons.
Take Ankara for example. No matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand the encirclement of an entire army.
Moreover, when fighting in the wild, he can completely fight in the form of a dragon.
Murphy opened the map sent by the Dragon Cult and began to examine it. His eyes wandered between the Throne of the God of Wind and the Blackrock Mountains, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Captain, we have searched the island thoroughly and found no trace of the Nether Dragon, but we did find a lot of undead creatures."
Undead monsters, there should be some benefits to be gained, you can't come back empty-handed.
"Go to the island!"
The process of fighting with the undead was unremarkable. For Murphy, a second-level BOSS in this world, there was really no sense of accomplishment in slaughtering these skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc.
There isn't even a BOSS in the cave. These undead should be derived from the rifts in the Shadow Realm and have no consciousness at all.
The only ones that are worth looking at are a few elite "Soul Shepherds".
Murphy was too lazy to join the battle and asked his men to clear out the enemies.
However, Jaina fought very vigorously, following behind the team and harvesting many kills.
[System prompt: You have successfully purified the undead creatures on the Shadow Island. However, since there is a space rift leading to the Shadow Realm, these undead will soon be born under the influence of the power of shadow. Your efforts do not seem to have changed anything.
Based on your performance in this event, you have obtained 15 plot points. 】
Damn, 15 o'clock... Murphy was speechless.
But there is no way, a world-class second-level BOSS comes to kill a group of undead monsters, there is really nothing to say.
However, Jaina's level was upgraded as she flashed with golden light.
Mo Fei thought to himself, just treat it as bringing a small account.
He gave the order to return home. As the fleet slowly moved away, a thick layer of clouds in the distant sky gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of two giant dragons.
One was dark in color, exuding the breath of death, and its eyes were a dark green.
The other dragon's scales were sky blue, and it was surrounded by slowly rotating air currents.
