Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 520: Boss also needs spring
Luo Xiao looked at his slightly dull self in the mirror and kept encouraging himself.
You can do it! You definitely can do it! Go up and overpower them! Use your devilish charm!
Damn it, cheer up, Luo Xiao, you are Dia Pineapple, the demon lord of Eredar!
But several times of encouraging himself in front of the mirror did not work. Years of being a solitary otaku made him quite afraid to deal with the large group of BOSS players waiting outside.
The thought of standing on the stage and facing the gaze of dozens or hundreds of people made his scalp tingle and his mouth dry.
This nervous and uneasy feeling made him feel like a fire was rising in his heart.
After taking a few deep breaths, Luo Xiao suddenly raised his hand and opened his palm. A ball of green evil fire rose up, illuminating the lounge with a dismal green.
Looking at the evil fire reflected in the mirror, Luo Xiao finally showed a confident look.
That's right! That's it! You have already mastered the real power, Luo Xiao. What do you have to be afraid of? They are just a group of mortals like ants. You shouldn't be afraid of them, but they should be afraid of you. Hahahaha, that's right! If they dare to embarrass you, burn them all to death!
When he thought about how his power could easily burn those mortals to ashes, Luo Xiao's nervousness immediately dissipated. A strong sense of self-confidence and superiority that transcended worldly rules made him feel very good, and he even felt a little elated.
He extinguished the evil fire in his hand, adjusted the collar of his shirt, gathered his hair back, turned around and strode out.
When Luo Xiao walked up to the conference booth, the introverted and socially anxious boy had disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was an unruly boy with bright eyes, evil charm and wildness.
He strode onto the stage, as if a gust of wind was moving with him. An inexplicable eye-catching aura made everyone around him look over.
"Hello all evil villains, welcome to my territory. I'm glad so many friends have accepted my invitation and come to attend this meeting."
The players who came to the party were all talking to each other, who is this person? He is so arrogant.
"I am the Eredar Demon Lord Dia Pineapple. I'm sure you've all heard of my name. You must also be curious about why I gathered everyone here today. Don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon.
I think you must have had enough of the days of hiding from others, living in fear that the heroes would come to your door, break into your copy, and kill you.
Even if they wanted to do something and expand their territory, they were afraid of provoking the wrong people, such as the lords of the Alliance, the sentinel generals of the Night, the warlord chiefs of the tribe, and any few heroes could make hundreds of adventurers swarm over like locusts with a call.
In the past few years, how many famous BOSS players have died at the hands of villains, and how many heroes have died at the hands of adventurers?
Since those heroes couldn't defeat us themselves, they used adventurers as cannon fodder, or else they engaged in shameless group fights.
Why should our boss hide in the dungeon and wait for others to kill him? I think everyone has asked this question before.
But now everything has changed, the Age of Disaster has arrived, and the era of us BOSS players has finally arrived!"
His voice seemed to have a bewitching effect, and there was a strange magic in his voice that made people's blood boil and they agreed with it deeply.
Everyone nodded. Although the BOSS template had strong combat power, the ending of always being beaten up was really annoying. Most monster forces were still unable to fight against the official camp. Although they could be arrogant on weekdays and sweep villages, outposts, and small towns when they had nothing to do to earn some plot points.
But most of them dare not provoke large cities and castles. If they are blacklisted by the official camp and a dozen princes and lords come with soldiers to kill them, they can only hide in the dungeon and survive.
As for whether the hero will lead adventurers into the dungeon, that is up to fate.
This kind of passive life of being beaten naturally makes most people feel uncomfortable.
But there is no way, that's how BOSS plays.
"I think everyone already knows that the Scourge has arrived. For a long time to come, the Sky World will be in constant crisis. The three major factions will be overwhelmed and all their attention will be focused on dealing with these disasters. This is a great opportunity for us BOSS players to rise.
While the Scourge has attracted the attention of various official forces, we have a good opportunity to develop, expand our territory, expand our influence, and achieve great things.
This time we have called everyone here for this very purpose. If we can unite as one and cooperate with each other, we can definitely become bigger and stronger together.”
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused a lot of voices of agreement.
But there are also people who don't buy it.
"Haha, Dia Pineapple, right? If I remember correctly, you guys are all the bosses of the Burning Legion. The mission of the Scourge is to open the door for the Burning Legion. Once they are defeated, you can't come. You said so much just to make us boss players stand out as cannon fodder, to attract the attention of the three major camps for you, and to disperse their forces so that the Burning Legion can invade smoothly."
Luo Xiao was somewhat surprised that the other party was not affected by his charm.
"Your Excellency?"
"The Fire Demon Lord - Lagrios, but you can also call me Xiao Yu." The man said calmly.
However, after hearing his words, everyone nodded immediately, and what he said made sense.
"Oh shit, you are the Fire Demon? I am Baal. We were summoned together during the Battle of Black Gate. Haha, we finally meet."
Luo Xiao glared at his subordinate beside him.
"Lagrios... So you are Lord Fire Demon. I have heard of your name. You burned yourself to death at Broken Spear Peak, killing a group of heroes from the Alliance and the Horde. It was truly a heroic feat.
You are right. Allowing the Burning Legion to enter Azeroth smoothly is my goal. But this is not you helping me, but everyone helping each other. You can even say that I am giving you a chance.
Because whether you take action or not, the Burning Legion will successfully invade. This is the plot history. If there are no accidents, this is bound to happen. Even the game company will guide to ensure this happens.
Only war can bring casualties and make those hero players spend more money, so I don’t need your help.
Of course, it would be better if we could work together.
Besides, invading the main material plane is the goal of every alien monster faction. Haven't you elemental lords always wanted to invade the real plane, recreate the earth, water, wind and fire, and let the material world return to the elemental world of the primitive period?
What better time to succeed than during the Burning Legion's invasion?
With the Scourge and the Burning Legion attracting the official camp's attention, wouldn't it be easier for you to accomplish your goals?
Why not take advantage of the opportunity and join in the fun? Or do you just sit back and watch the Burning Legion be defeated? And then you will continue to be used as dungeons by adventurers?"
These words left Laglios speechless.
“I think all of you who like to play BOSS are not the kind of people who follow the rules. It is because we are tired of those clichéd plots where heroes must defeat evil that we choose to become the BOSS in the game and play the villain, is n’t it?
Now the best opportunity is right in front of you, don’t you want to truly take control of your own destiny?
The slogan of Sky World is that players create history, players write legends, and all stories are created by the players themselves.
Would you rather be the villain defeated by the hero in those legendary stories? Don’t you want to truly change history and create your own legend? "
The series of questions caused a commotion among the crowd below.
Yeah, what better time than now.
In the past, everyone was afraid of being surrounded and attacked by heroes and adventurers, so they didn't dare to show up easily. Now that the Scourge has become the focus, it is a good time for heroes to rise up.
Of course, it is impossible to create a wild monster force with a big goal like destroying the world.
But it would also be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the sphere of influence, capture a few villages, towns and castles, and increase the power level of the monster tribe.
If you are lucky, you might even be able to form a franchise race like the great emperor did.
If you want to be an official, you have to kill people and set fires to be recruited.
If the Centaurs can do it, why can't we?
As the saying goes, are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? Does the official camp have different species?
"Well said. We trolls once built a glorious empire and ruled Azeroth. Now it's time to rise again. I want to take advantage of this time to unite the major troll tribes and establish the Troll Empire! I'm Long Fang, the Troll Chieftain of Zul'Farrak. Are there any players who want to join me as a troll boss?"
"Count me in! I am the Great Witch Doctor of Zul'Aman."
"And me, the Ice Hunter of Zul'Drak."
"That's absolutely right. It's time for us gnolls to rise up."
"We wild boars want to build an empire too."
"Oh yeah!"
“That’s absolutely right!”
“Rise, rise!”
"We, the Naga clan, will rule this world again. Long live Queen Azshara!"
"It's time for our Lobster Man Empire to rise."
"And we Kobolds. I am the dignified Kobold King, but my house is raided by a bunch of level 20 or 30 noobs every day. I can't stand this!"
Dia Pineapple thought to himself: Wild Boar Man... Kobold Man... Lobster Man... Can you guys be any less OW when choosing monsters ? Why are there so many people playing these weird monsters?
But of course he couldn't show it on his face and just kept expressing his agreement.
In fact, the players cannot be blamed. The more powerful the monster forces, the more intense the competition. For a large enterprise like the Burning Legion, you can't even become a middle-level cadre even if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For creatures like gnolls and boarmen, you can easily buy a chieftainship for , and for monsters like kobolds at the lower level, they can become kings for a few hundred thousand.
Therefore, many unpopular monster factions are also played by some people.
"It's great that everyone has this enthusiasm, but don't underestimate the official camp. After all, there are adventurers who are endlessly killed acting as thugs. If you start a rebellion alone, you will inevitably be brutally suppressed. In the end, you will just trigger a plot event, and then be eliminated by the heroes who come and become a part of the hero's achievements.
But if everyone launches the attack at the same time when the Scourge is fighting the three major factions, they will definitely be caught off guard.
Before they realize what's going on, they'll expand their influence.
“That’s right!”
"That's right, let's do it!"
"We have to decide on a time and launch it together then."
"Everyone must keep this a secret and don't let the hero players know."
Dia Pineapple was very excited when he saw the high morale of the people below.
(Lord Sargeras, I will not let you down.)
…
While the BOSS conference was in full swing, at this moment, the Heroes Conference had already been successfully completed and the specific Northern Expedition plan had been discussed.
Now we have entered into the free activities phase.
It's a rare occasion for all the heroic players to get together offline, and with so many people present at the same time, it's natural for them to have a good exchange, share information and advice, and make a few friends, which may come in handy in the game in the future.
No matter how you resolve it in the game, there is still a layer of skin between you and the real person, so it is more engaging to meet in person.
Soon the players divided into small groups of two or three, getting to know each other and exchanging information and advice.
Murphy, however, entered the VIP area alone with a few big guys.
The Great Emperor Shenwu, Godwin, and Ruthless Tyrant are the key figures in this operation. There is no other reason for this. They are the leaders of the faction. To mobilize the army to march north to Northrend, we must rely on their cooperation.
"Will Malfurion and Tyrande fight?"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult. The couple still don't trust me very much. At most they will send some troops to me, but I don't think they will fight in person."
"Didn't you say that we could use the Burning Legion as an excuse?"
"It's no use. There's nothing I can do if they don't believe me."
"It's okay. We have our great tribe here. The Scourge is nothing. Gul'dan is just a traitor of my tribe. He must be scared to death when he sees me, the chieftain."
"Is it possible that your tribe is secretly colluding with Gul'dan?"
"Fuck, what are you talking about? We in this tribe are all upright heroes. Blood and honor mean business, don't you understand?"
"By the way, shouldn't your alliance organize a Silver Northern Expedition to suit the occasion?"
"I think it's okay. I'll ask Uther to do it later... By the way, Aidan, do you know where Arthas and Tirion Fordring are?"
Arthas, the historical Lich King.
Tirion Fordring, the man who killed the Lich King in history.
These two have been out of the public eye for too long. At this moment when heroes gather to besiege the Lich King, everyone is quite curious when they mention them.
Murphy shook his head: "I don't know anything about this."
However, there was one thing he didn't say. He could use the [Call Brothers] function to summon Arthas. Perhaps he should recruit Arthas to participate in the Northern Expedition against the Lich King.
As Murphy was thinking, a conversation between several people not far away suddenly caught his attention.
"I say, are you going to take on this origin story mission?"
