Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 532: A Losing Game
In fact, the output of this group of people is really not low. Under normal circumstances, no humanoid BOSS can accumulate more than 500,000 health. Even if they cannot deliver a fatal blow, any other BOSS would have died by now.
Who made them encounter an unreasonable version of the BOSS? The super high strength of the second level of world destruction, plus various blood volume stacking, more than five million blood volume, is simply daunting.
However, Emperor Shenwu is the founder of a business empire after all, and his mentality is very stable. Even when the battle situation is unfavorable, he still inspires everyone's morale.
The Great Emperor of Gods and Martial Arts (Centaur King): "Don't worry, everyone, form a good formation and keep a safe distance from the BOSS. We still have a chance to fight. I will hold the BOSS back and deal damage from the farthest distance. The healers will heal me. Let's treat this battle as a BOSS battle and we will die."
After saying that, he took out the big dragon tooth, swung it around and smashed it on the head.
This thing is quite heavy, and it won't be at a disadvantage even if it's against a divine weapon in a weapon fight.
Gul'dan was not so straightforward. He released the power of ice and an ice storm immediately swirled around him.
Anyone who comes within fifty yards of him will receive continuous frost damage.
Before several Centaur warriors had time to retreat, they were frozen into ice sculptures by the frost and then shattered instantly by the cold wind.
The Shenwu Emperor was able to hold on thanks to his extremely high attributes, but his speed inevitably slowed down. His body was constantly covered with layers of ice shells, which he constantly broke free of with force.
Fortunately, the Emperor Shenwu was also a blood cow, so he could still hold on, but he couldn't rush to the Lich King.
Seeing this, Badao Wuqing and Godwen didn't even dare to charge. Although they had high health, they were not immune to critical hits. If they were frozen and then stabbed by a sword, they might die.
The others retreated directly, and all the heroes were forced to retreat continuously by the Lich King alone.
At this moment——
"Gul'dan - face me!" A roar suddenly came from behind him. Gul'dan looked back and his eyes lit up.
He saw Hellscream slashing down a group of Vrykul death warriors who had gathered around him, and charging straight at him. The other assassins had already run away, but Hellscream, seeing that he was exposed, simply charged straight at him.
Gul'dan (Lich King): "Hellscream, I didn't expect you to come. See, Hellscream, this is the real power. I once gave you the blood of the devil, and now, I am still willing to share this immortal power with you. Join me, Hellscream, and you will gain real power.
Let’s conquer the world together.”
"Shut up! Gul'dan - you can't give me anything except your death!" Grom roared and charged forward.
Gul'dan (Lich King): "Grom - you disappoint me so much, so ungrateful, but it doesn't matter, your soul is mine, since you are unwilling to submit to me, then turn into an undead and serve me."
Soul-stealing blade!
Hellscream also leaped up with all his might, and slashed at Gul'dan's head with a bloody roar.
He originally thought that the opponent would fight him with a knife, but Grom had already made calculations for the subsequent battle. He used the force of the recoil to jump back, then used the Wind Step to cut into the opponent's blind spot, and then used the Blood Roar to chop off his head directly...
However, what he did not expect was that Gul'dan's sword suddenly stopped the moment it was swung.
With the defense open, Grom had no chance to retract his attack and his axe hit Gul'dan's breastplate hard.
-19851 (critical hit)!
Gul'dan stared at Grom, and the pair of evil fire eyes under the Crown of Domination made Grom's heart sink.
"You're mine Hellscream!"
As the Lich King spoke, he finally swung his sword. Wherever the sword passed, the breath of death gave Grom goosebumps. He had no time to dodge. It was over!
He thought in despair.
However, he was unexpectedly attacked by a strong force from behind, dragging him backwards.
Grip of the Earth!
However, it was the Emperor Shenwu who saw that something was not right and stepped forward to help.
"No! Bastard, Great Emperor Shenwu, you've ruined my good thing again." Gul'dan glared at him.
The Emperor of Gods remained calm. "Grom, Gul'dan has now transformed into an undead spirit. Don't think you can end the battle with just one axe. Fight alongside me, Grom. I need your help."
Grom looked at the Emperor Shenwu with a complicated expression, nodded, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor Shenwu.
Although he had expected this, Ba Dao Wu Qing still felt very disappointed when he saw that Hellscream's axe leaping attack failed to work. This immunity to critical hits was too disgusting.
Then he started to worry. Was Grom still in love with the Emperor Shenwu? He had to keep a close eye on him and not let the Emperor Shenwu win him over.
With this episode, the heroes of the coalition forces finally readjusted their formation.
Just as the two sides were ready to fight the second round, strange laughter and sinister whispers suddenly came from the sky.
When everyone looked up, they saw several demons flapping their wings, floating in the air, overlooking the battlefield from a high position.
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Haha, these mortals are really persistent."
Varimathras (Dreadlord): "Brothers, let us bring fear to them, bring despair."
Deserok (Dreadlord): "For the Burning Legion!"
Tichondrius (Dreadlord): "No one can stop the will of the Burning Legion."
Gul'dan (Lich King): "You finally showed up. Don't waste time. Come and help me kill these mortals."
Tichondrius (Dreadlord): "Watch your attitude Gul'dan, even though you are now the Lich King, you are still a servant of my Burning Legion. But you are right, this farce has dragged on for long enough, brothers, deal with this weak mortal."
The appearance of four dreadlords made everyone nervous again.
These four dreadlords are all world-class BOSSes, especially their leader Tichondrius, a world-class level 5 BOSS, who has reached the peak strength below world destruction.
The ultimate move comes directly when he appears.
Rain of chaos!
The sky was suddenly covered with green clouds of evil energy, and four huge hellfires fell from the sky one after another, landing around the battlefield one after another.
The huge shock wave caused casualties among the coalition soldiers near the impact point.
The four Hellfire Demons, each more than 20 meters tall, made the surrounding soldiers retreat.
The next to take action was Balnazzar.
A swarm of stinking mosquitoes and flies!
Countless poisonous flies emitting a foul smell and a highly toxic odor swooped down on the surrounding soldiers frantically. Although these poisonous flies only had 5 health points and their damage was not high, they had the advantage of being numerous, and once they bit the target, they could trigger poisoning and plague effects.
The soldiers were immediately thrown into confusion.
The third one to attack was Drosek, who raised his hand and fired a death finger!
A mage was hit and killed instantly.
The last one to take action was Varimathras.
Doomsday is coming!
In a ball of violent fire, a Doomsday Guardian over thirty meters tall appeared in the center of the battlefield—another BOSS-level summoned creature.
Following this series of actions, although the allied heroes still had the advantage in numbers, there was already a trend of chaos.
After all, players are not as pure as NPCs. For the characters in the plot, war is a life-and-death battle. They will fight to the death to defeat the enemy, even at the cost of their own lives.
There is no thought of preserving strength.
No matter how strong the players are, they will still be cautious, fearing that the loss will be too great if they die. They will attack when there is an advantage, and hide when there is no advantage. Even in a BOSS battle, they just want to get an assist.
Anyway, even if you lose, it’s not the end of the world. As long as the account is still there, there is hope.
In addition, the coalition forces are composed of three different camps, which cannot compare with the concerted efforts of the Scourge.
None of the three alliance leaders wanted to fight to the death. If it was a favorable battle that was sure to win, it would be fine. However, when faced with this unfavorable situation, they decisively started to play their own tricks.
The private chat channel immediately became lively.
Ba Dao Wu Qing: "What should we do now? There are so many big bosses, how about we retreat?"
Godwin: "We can't retreat. It would be too shameful if we retreated like this."
Emperor Shenwu: "Even if we want to retreat, we have to kill a few bosses first. If we can't kill the Lich King, can't we take down these Dreadlords?"
Godwin: "That makes sense, Brother Shenwu, you hold the Lich King back first, and I'll kill a dreadlord first..."
The Shenwu Emperor was speechless. He was not stupid. Fighting the Lich King would only bring danger, but killing the Dreadlord would give him plot points and equipment.
Ba Dao Wu Qing: "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Shen Wu is the strongest. You should fight against the Lich King. I will gather some men to fight the Dreadlord first."
Be careful up there!
Someone shouted, and everyone looked up at the sky, and saw Galakrond falling down like a mountain.
Retreat quickly!
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly scattered around the landing point, leaving the battlefield empty instantly.
Boom boom boom!
The huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang. The violent impact made the earth tremble. The huge body directly divided the battlefield.
Everyone looked at the horrifying beast in front of them in shock and doubt. Galakrond slowly stretched up his limbs, spread his wings, and opened his huge mouth.
Just when everyone thought it was about to breathe out a breath of death, Galakrond let out a scream of pain.
Its back suddenly bulged upward.
Crack! The huge back covered with bone spurs was suddenly broken open, and a dragon claw stretched out from it. Then, the figure of the ancient dragon king emerged from it.
With a loud bang, Galakrond fell to the ground again, motionless.
Ba Dao Wu Qing: "Fuck, that's awesome."
The Great Emperor of God and Martial Arts: "Brother Aidan wins!"
Godwin: "Great, now we can finally turn the tables."
Aidan: "Everyone, prepare to retreat."
What? The three leaders were all stunned. You just killed Galakrond, why are you retreating?
Aidan: "It's not dead. We can't win this battle. Retreat . There's no point in continuing to fight. I'll cover you."
Sure enough, the Galakrond whose back was broken actually moved again, and the health points above its head were still a series of???
The black air of death surged at the wound, and the broken bones quickly recovered under the control of an invisible force. Although they still looked dilapidated in appearance, at least they were intact.
And that terrifying size made Galakrond seem completely unaffected by the huge wound.
It swung its body furiously, and Murphy flew directly from the dragon's back.
The Lich King was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw the mad Galakrond.
This terrifying beast seemed to have no concept of friend or foe. With one kick, dozens of undead were crushed to pieces. With one bite, countless undead were swallowed into its stomach. Then the wounds on its body healed even faster.
Gul'dan hastily raised Frostmourne, "Galakrond, I am your master, and I command you to obey my orders."
Galakrond snorted disdainfully, then turned around and pounced towards the coalition forces.
This time the leaders of the three camps finally stopped hesitating, this thing was simply impossible to fight.
retreat!
retreat!
Retreat to the ship!
"Kill them all!"
Gul'dan waved his hand, and Borelius immediately landed and carried him into the air to pursue.
Murphy stood directly in front of Gul'dan.
Aidan Delong (King of the Ancient Dragons): "Varian, I know you are still alive. Do you hear my voice? Answer me."
Hero's Special Skill - Summon Brothers! Activate!
A look of struggle immediately appeared on Gul'dan's face.
Varian (Lich King): "Brother... I..."
But in just a moment, the expression disappeared.
Gul'dan (Lich King): "Hahaha, do you think this little trick can succeed? Varian's soul is fragile and is no match for me. It has become my trophy. You are his elder brother Aidan, right? I learned everything about you from his memories. Even in his most desperate moment, my heart was still full of respect for you. It's a pity that you couldn't save him..."
Murphy was too lazy to listen to him and just opened his mouth and dragon thunder spurted out.
Super Ancient Dragon Thunder!
Gul'dan raised Frostmourne to block the blow.
"Powerful force, but unfortunately not powerful enough."
Tide of Frost!
Frost Breath!
Gul'dan and Polyreus launched their attacks at the same time.
Murphy blocked the four dragon wings in front of him and also took the opponent's attack.
He wanted to continue trying, but he heard the cry for help from Emperor Shenwu behind him.
"Brother Aidan, help me!"
Murphy sighed.
"Varian, hold on, don't give up hope, one day, I will save you."
After saying that, he soared into the sky and pounced towards Galakrond.
Gul'dan wanted to give chase, but the next second a strong wind suddenly blew up.
Miracle - the storm is coming!
The storm instantly enveloped the battlefield, and the fierce airflow made the undead fly in the wind in disarray, staggering to and fro.
Only Galakrond, his mountain-like body was completely unaffected, and he pounced towards the retreating fleet in the sea.
Quick, stop it!
The Eternal Frost of Pollelius!
Morgan Lisa released a powerful forbidden spell, which finally froze part of Galakrond's wings, but could not stop it from moving forward.
The frost dragon Veranoz directly froze the sea surface, and the four catastrophic dragons continuously launched air strikes to prevent Galakrond from advancing.
At this moment, the three leaders had already led the soldiers to retreat to the ship.
Emperor Shenwu was still somewhat unwilling and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
Emperor Shenwu: "Brother, we can still fight, right? Why must we retreat? We still have follow-up forces..."
Aidan: "No, we can't win. The script hasn't reached the point where the Lich King will be destroyed yet."
Godwin: "What do you mean?"
Aidan: "To put it simply - the system is working against us."
Murphy said that he had just figured it out.
He had done so many dirty jobs for Wang Xuan in the past, so he had a general understanding of how the game company controlled the direction of the plot.
Game companies cannot directly control the direction of the plot. On the one hand, they use the system to automatically adjust the details and data of the game to ensure the normal development of the plot.
On the other hand, this is to control the direction of the plot through the powerful BOSS in the game.
Although Murphy is still not sure whether this time it is the influence of the system or the secret control of the GM.
But now there must be the influence of the game officials behind this battle.
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. If the Lich King, as the version BOSS, is easily killed before he has a chance to show his strength, wouldn't this expansion pack become a joke?
Even if he is going to die, it would be reasonable for him to be arrogant for a while, commit countless evil things, and finally be destroyed by heroes.
The most important point is that according to the original plot development, the Lich King is the key figure in summoning the Burning Legion, although the current plot of the game has undergone tremendous changes.
However, the game officials definitely still hope that the game will proceed in a certain order, have an epic feel, and make players feel involved.
In the end, it will most likely be the Lich King who summons the Burning Legion.
Therefore, they would never allow the Lich King to be killed here. Galakrond was resurrected so easily, and was still in a state where he could not be killed. It was hard to say that there was no intervention from the game officials.
Therefore, this battle is destined to be a losing battle.
Unless they have the ability to transcend the system and defeat the GM.
