Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 540: Uldum
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "I'm glad you all responded to my call. Welcome to Alterac. As I said in the announcement, my goal this time is the Throne of Wind.
This is a dungeon that has not yet been opened, a 250-person legion-level dungeon. As far as I know, no one has yet passed a dungeon of this level of difficulty, so it can be said to be the first case in the game.
But because of this, the difficulty of the story campaign will be very high. I hope everyone can be mentally prepared in advance, as it will be a tough battle.
I know that many of you here are here for my identity as the Ancient Dragon King, and think that they can easily get plot points and equipment by following me. But if you come to the battle with this mentality, I have to regretfully tell you that you are wrong.
Al'Akir is a world-destroying BOSS. Even I dare not say that I can win for sure. I can only say that I will try my best to lead everyone to complete the story campaign and clear the dungeon, but you must also fight with all your strength, listen to my command, and obey my orders. Only by enforcing my orders can we have the possibility of winning.
Accept my terms, or you can leave now."
No one said a word. A 250-player difficulty, a legion-level dungeon, a world-destroying BOSS... In a dungeon battle of this level, no one could guarantee that there would be no danger. Aidan pointed out the problem in advance, which made everyone think that this matter was serious. If Murphy said there was no danger, that would be a problem.
For high-end gaming teams, this kind of advance declaration before the copy strategy can be said to be a basic operation.
Murphy nodded and continued.
“Some of you here are old friends who have worked with me before.”
Murphy's eyes swept across the crowd one by one, Kaya Windrunner, Meng Meng Big Boobs, Phoenix, Morgan Lisa, Jian Wuhen...
"Some are my loyal subordinates."
His eyes swept over Lesajes, Willanoz... Vivian Nightsong, Angus and others one by one.
"There are a few others who I have only met on the battlefield, but we are not too familiar with each other. This is our first cooperation."
His eyes swept over the last few people. All of them were magic professions. They were all high-end players that Murphy had found to output powerful DPS and powerful healers for stacking damage. They were the best of the best.
There are also several guild presidents, all of whom are professional.
"As the captain this time, I will distribute all the dropped equipment based on your performance in the dungeon. I will try my best to ensure fairness, but considering the differences in the strength of different players and the contributions they provide in the battle, I will definitely not use the conventional distribution method.
In principle, all heroes can participate in the distribution of equipment dropped by the BOSS, but only a few guild leaders among adventurers can participate in the distribution, while ordinary team members can only share the spoils in the Al'Akir Vault looted after the dungeon battle.
If you are not satisfied with this allocation, you can leave.”
Still no one said anything. Although everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Murphy's one-man show, Murphy was now the real core figure and only he could lead this group. Therefore, there was no other choice for everyone present.
As long as you can enter the dungeon, even if you don't get anything, at least you can get a legendary expertise.
As for the adventurers, they are not afraid of death anyway, so naturally they don't have so many demands. This is Al'Akir, the king of wind elements. The materials plundered after clearing the dungeon are absolutely extremely rich, and it would be worth the trip if they could just share a little bit of the profits.
Moreover, this kind of legion-level dungeon is usually impossible to fight, and you can't even get through the door. Now that someone is leading a team to attack, of course you can't miss it, and you have to agree to any conditions, no matter how harsh they are.
Murphy nodded. He was not surprised by this result. If someone didn't even have this awareness, there was no need to bring him along.
With his strength, he naturally has absolute control over the plot battle.
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Very good, since no one has any objection, I will arrange the tactics next."
As soon as the words fell, everyone perked up and listened attentively.
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "So far, no one knows what exactly Al'Akir's abilities are, but generally speaking, elemental creatures only have a few skills, and the only difference between elemental creatures of the same type is the strength of their skills.
There is a high probability that Al'Akir is nothing more than a greatly enhanced version of the Wind Elemental Lord.
I have collected some combat information about the Wind Elemental Lord, and currently I can only arrange tactics based on this information.
The biggest feature of the Wind Elemental Lord is.
1. Immune to lightning and wind skills, and have extremely high resistance to physical attacks, almost to the level of immunity. Only attacking the core can cause a little damage. Therefore, this battle mainly relies on magic output. Therefore, the main output force this time are ranged professions. Archer-type professions must have weapons with elemental damage, or configure high-level weapon enchantment scrolls.
2. The Wind Elemental Lord has no normal attack skills. All of his attack methods are AOE effects, mainly wind and lightning. Wind skills are physical damage, so I won’t go into details. Lightning skills mostly have splash effects, so this time everyone should prepare as much electrical resistance equipment, thunder defense potions, and dwarf lightning helmets made by engineering .
At the same time, I arranged a large number of healing professions in the entire dungeon team. Each team must arrange a healer to be responsible for adding blood to ensure the safety of life in a protracted battle.
3. The wind elemental lord can use a large-scale group blowing skill. This is the biggest problem. There was a situation where an entire team was blown into the sky and then fell down and most of them died. But you don’t have to worry too much about this. I have the power of the storm. At that time, I will snatch control of the storm from Al'Akir to ensure that no one will be blown away. But for safety reasons, everyone must carry a slow fall scroll with them to avoid unnecessary casualties.
4. The Wind Elemental Lord has a skill called Storm Incarnation, which can instantly expand his body size ten times, transforming him into a living storm, causing continuous damage to all those sucked into the storm. In this state, the BOSS is invincible, but fortunately it can only last for a period of time. During this period, all healers must do their best to heal.
After the battle begins, I will attract the first wave of hatred. After the hatred stabilizes, everyone will output firepower. The elemental lord is immune to taunts, and the IQ of the elemental king is usually very high, so I cannot guarantee the stability of hatred after the battle begins.
So there will still be a certain amount of pressure, and the leaders of each team must be prepared to respond.
All team members were divided into five groups, each with fifty people, and divided into ten teams.
Each of them is a main force group, and I am the group leader.
There are two output groups. Morgan Lisa and Kaya Windrunner, you two will serve as the team leaders respectively. You should output as much damage as possible while ensuring safety.
An auxiliary team, led by cute big tits, you are responsible for supporting other teams and providing treatment services.
A mixed group, with Phoenix as the leader, and you guys are responsible for handling all the chores.
A wizard suddenly raised his hand.
Murphy indicated that he could speak.
"I say, since wind elements are immune to physical attacks, why do you bring an assassin into the team?"
Jian Wuhen spread his hands, indicating that he was also puzzled.
Murphy explained: "Jian Wuhen is mainly responsible for opening the Death Mark. Death Mark is a divine skill. The marked target will increase damage by 10%, which is equivalent to increasing damage to the entire group, so it must be brought."
Morgan Lisa also raised her hand, "Can Al'Akir be killed?"
Murphy nodded. "Theoretically it should be possible, but it cannot be killed by physical means. It must be done by using legendary magic to launch a fatal attack on its elemental core. You magicians can find a chance to try it."
Someone else asked: "How much health does Al'Akir have?"
"A conservative estimate is one million. Since this is a Legion-level instance, Al'Akir will definitely receive a huge dungeon health boost. One million is already very conservative, so the health will only be higher. But don't worry, with our output capacity, one million is not a big problem."
After Murphy finished speaking and saw that no one asked any more questions, he said, "If there are no questions, we will set off."
In fact, his plan was still rather rough. There was no other way, because they were playing in a copy that no one had ever played before.
He didn't even know how many bosses there were in this dungeon. Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior would be tantamount to seeking death.
But Murphy is a skilled and bold person, so he can act recklessly because of his strong strength.
"Everyone, go prepare supplies and gather at the square in an hour. The guild leader must remember to assign tasks to each team and explain the precautions."
An hour later, a team of nearly two hundred people gathered in the square of Alterac. Although there were only two hundred people, the population was close to 300 (with many substitute adventurers).
There were as many as seventeen heroes, and this gathering immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding players.
Murphy ignored the pointing and talking of the players around him and asked everyone to gather together.
"How do we get to the Throne of the Wind God? Do we need to take a boat?"
"Of course it's teleportation." Murphy said and cast a spell directly.
Arcane power-magic power amplification!
Ancient magic——Door to anywhere!
Powerful magic power gathered in an instant, and a huge portal appeared in front of everyone. Behind the portal was a desert scene.
Murphy took the lead and walked over first.
Everyone followed one by one, and when they got to the other side, they were all stunned.
"Fuck, so awesome?"
"This is-Kalimdor?"
"Uldum! This is my first time here. Is there a teleport point here?"
"It doesn't seem to be a teleportation point. It was forcibly transferred here."
Murphy's move shocked everyone present, especially the heroic wizards, who knew very well the difficulty of this magic.
To directly cross the continent and open the teleportation gate, the magic power required would be at a very terrifying level.
And under normal circumstances, the wizard's teleportation can only be used to teleport to the teleportation arrays in major cities.
A spell like this that teleports directly to the wild requires even more terrifying amounts of magic power.
Everyone looked at Murphy with a strange look in their eyes.
Murphy ignored everyone's gazes. The Scourge would soon attack Dalaran, and he had to hurry up and complete this storyline campaign within three days.
He looked around and saw an endless desert in front of him and the ruins of an ancient temple under his feet.
Murphy directly used the guardian authority of the magic network and located a magic network node closest to the throne of the God of Wind as a guide.
This temple must have once been the site of a town of some ancient civilization.
The Desert of Uldum, this is the country of the Tol'vir.
The Tol'vir were originally stone giants created by the Titans to guard the secrets of Uldum. They have a cat head and lower body, as well as a human torso, and their image is a bit like a sphinx.
Like many other creations of the Titans, the Tol'vir eventually succumbed to the Curse of Flesh and became a biological race.
And they established their own civilization, with cities and temples.
However, Murphy was not prepared to contact these "tiger men". He had only one goal - the throne of the god of wind.
After greeting everyone, Murphy led the team all the way into the depths of the vast desert. A few hours later, a huge pyramid appeared in front of them.
The towering pyramids are hundreds of meters high, and the magnificent sight is amazing.
"Is that the throne of the God of Wind?" Morgan Lisa asked in surprise.
"No, the Wind God's Throne is up there."
Everyone raised their heads and looked above the pyramid, but they only saw towering clouds reaching into the sky.
"The Throne of the Wind God is located in the plane of wind element. Theoretically, it is not part of the material world. However, the boundary between it and the material world is very thin. As long as we find the right method, we can enter it."
Historically, it was the cataclysm initiated by Deathwing that broke the isolation between the Elemental Plane of Wind and the real world.
But now, the person who wants to break the isolation has become Murphy.
He wasn't quite sure how to do it, but since Deathwing could do it, there was no reason why the Storm Dragon King couldn't do it.
The closer the crowd got to the pyramid, the more discussion there was.
"Master Aidan, do you think there is a teleportation point in the pyramid? Can it teleport directly to the throne of the God of Wind?"
Mo Fei thought to himself that it was not impossible. Isn't Tongtian Peak like this?
"Anyway, let's get to the pyramid first."
When the team arrived at the bottom of the pyramid, everyone was surprised to find that there were already people there.
A simple camp was set up with tents at the entrance of the pyramid, and many flags were planted around the camp.
Some dwarves were digging something out of the sand.
It's the Explorers' Society!
Murphy recognized the flags at a glance.
These guys can really be seen everywhere, especially in ancient ruins like this one with a rich history.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s the Explorers’ Association. I’m very familiar with them, so I’ll just ask them if they have any clues.
Let's take a break first."
After trekking in the desert for several hours, everyone was really tired, so each of them found a place to rest, some drank water, and some curiously watched the dwarves doing archaeology (digging graves).
Murphy asked a dwarf where their leader was. After learning that he was inside the pyramid, he went in alone.
After walking a few steps, Morgan Lisa followed.
"I'll go in with you, too. Thank you so much this time. I didn't expect you to make such a big scene for me."
"Haha, you're welcome. I actually have my own purpose."
"Yeah, I understand, I understand." Morgan Lisa looked at me with an expression that said, "I know you don't want to put pressure on me."
Murphy was speechless.
Okay, I can't help it if you insist on thinking this way.
As soon as the two entered the gate of the pyramid, they saw a familiar figure walking out of the door.
"Long time no see, Prince Aidan."
Murphy was also a little surprised to see the man. He was wearing an expedition suit, an expedition hat, a neat ponytail, long leather boots, a belt tied around his slender waist, and a searchlight and a hunting knife. He was as vast as smoke.
There are not many players using the explorer template because they lack combat capabilities and mainly focus on exploring various ancient ruins and temples, which is a relatively non-mainstream way of playing.
But adventurers can also explore, and can be resurrected at will, so players who specialize in playing the explorer template are very rare.
Murphy was also deeply impressed by the explorer player he met in the Tongtian Peak ruins.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
