Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 562: Immortal Covenant and the Age of Chaos
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Dead souls, obey my command, skeletons, transform into your image!"
As Murphy chanted his spell, the skeletons scattered on the ground floated into the air, as if controlled by an invisible hand. They quickly combined together to form a skeleton giant seven or eight meters tall.
Skeleton Giant (Aidan's servant), level 68 elite, health 8400.
Looking at the summoned undead giant, Murphy nodded with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the skeleton giant turned into a pile of bones again.
That's about it.
Murphy thought.
After three days of familiarizing myself with the remains of a battlefield littered with corpses, I finally gained a basic understanding of the power of death.
Ever since the battle at the Throne of Wind God, when Murphy successfully broke through the boundaries of the system, he discovered that the use of this power of authority was not as rigid as ordinary skills. In many cases, players could use their imagination and creativity to shape magic, create skills, and use them freely.
Just like a craftsman uses clay to make pottery, what he can make depends entirely on his own skills.
So far, Murphy has mastered the three basic functions of the power of death.
The first thing is to use the energy of death to curse or directly harm the enemy. Murphy has mastered a lot of various undead spells and death curses.
Secondly, the power of death can be used to resurrect the dead. As long as the unit dies within a short period of time and its soul is not completely destroyed, it can be resurrected by the power of death.
Of course, after resurrection, the racial type will automatically transform into an undead creature, and its abilities during life will also mutate, and some will even be downgraded.
For example, after the dead Storm Dragon is resurrected into an Undead Dragon, its combat power is obviously weaker than when it was alive, and its breath has changed from lightning to negative energy lightning. The black lightning looks very cool, but the damage is obviously reduced a lot.
The third use is to create DIY various artificial undead creatures using flesh, blood, bones and even souls.
Dead lives will leave behind all kinds of relics, and almost all of these products of death can be used as materials. With Murphy's current strength, as long as there are enough corpse materials, it is not a problem to raise an army of undead in minutes.
If it were an ordinary person, such power would be enough to make him a hegemon, but for Murphy, it was just icing on the cake.
He has the elite Dragon Knights under his command and can also summon the Wind Elemental Legion.
Compared with the previous two, the biggest advantage of the undead army is that it does not require resources or maintenance costs.
It is equivalent to having a lot of free servant soldiers, which is quite good as cannon fodder troops.
If it is needed in a war in the future, we can use it.
If elite troops die in battle, they can be resurrected as undead to reduce losses.
As Mo Fei was contemplating, the voice of the system suddenly rang in his ears.
[World Announcement: In the year 1442 of the Sky Era, after several short and fierce battles, the second generation Lich King Varian successfully defeated the rebellious Death Lord Conan the Barbarian, Winter is Coming, and captured the Naxxramas Necropolis.
As a result, Varian basically recovered several major territories once occupied by the Scourge. Based on these territories, the Lich King Varian decided to establish a new force.
Unlike the Scourge's terrible purpose of trying to destroy the world, Varian, out of guilt for the people of the Alliance and a sense of mission to protect the world, reorganized the Scourge into the Death Covenant.
Due to the damage of the Helm of Domination, most of the undead in the Scourge regained their free will and awakened their past memories. As a result, the Death Covenant became a special society composed of undead beings.
This faction thus became the new official faction - the Undead Covenant. 】
Murphy was surprised. Wow, Varian was very quick. He took down Naxxramas in just a few days.
No! Murphy thought to himself that Winter is Coming and Conan the Barbarian King were definitely not the kind of people who would fight to the death. Most likely, they would negotiate terms and invest in the company when they saw that they could not win.
In this way, these two guys can be said to have successfully cleaned themselves up and got ashore.
It would be nice to be the leader of a faction in the future.
Murphy quickly exited the game, clicked on the official homepage, and checked out the newly developed official camp.
[Official announcement: Game patch 2.13 is about to be released, and the new faction 'Undying Covenant' is officially launched.
A new optional faction - the Undead Covenant. With the demise of the Lich King Gul'dan, a large number of undead have escaped the control of the Helm of Domination and awakened their free will. These undead have regrouped under the leadership of Prince Varian and established a kingdom of the dead in the cold continent of Northrend.
Varian tried to protect the world in his own way and lead these undead to survive in this crisis-ridden world.
The Helm of Domination is inherited from the long-destroyed ancient Vrykul Empire. The Frozen Throne is the remains of the capital of the ancient Vrykul Empire, and therefore the legal system of the Undead Covenant is also inherited from it.
New optional races for adventurers: Vrykul (Undead), Human (Undead), Orc (Undead), Centaur (Undead), Night Elves (Undead), High Elves (Undead).
Racial Features - In addition to the initial talents of their native race, the undead adventurers of the Death Covenant can also obtain exclusive talents of undead creatures.
Talent 1: Dark Creature. You cannot be healed by Holy Light, but you can recover your vitality through death magic, and you can also be healed by natural spells such as Shaman and Druid. You will lose health when you are under the Holy Light skill.
Talent 2: Raise the Dead. After being killed, you can be resurrected at the corpse after 60 seconds, with only 1% health after resurrection. This talent can be activated once every 24 hours.
Talent 3: Will of the Dead. When activated, it makes you immune to all mind control skills for 5 seconds.
Talent 4: Underwater Breathing. You can breathe freely underwater .
Talent 5: Horrible Face. As an undead creature, the basic Charisma value is -5.
Faction leader: Varian (Lich King).
Important characters in the faction: Genn Greymane, Mograine, Conan the Barbarian, Winter is Coming, Kel'Thuzad...
Faction capital: Frozen Throne.
Important cities of the faction: Naxxramas, Wyrmrest Temple.
Added a new optional lord template - Death Lord.
Lord Features: The Death Lord is an undead leader who once belonged to the Scourge. He has the dark power to resurrect the dead and can resurrect defeated enemies into his own troops to quickly expand the size and number of troops.
New soldier templates - The soldiers of the Death Covenant come from different races and forces. All the soldiers who have fought against the Scourge can find their corresponding undead versions in the Undead Covenant's legion sequence.
New hero classes added - Death Knight, Dark Ranger, Lich, Necromancer, Dark Priest... Become a dark hero awakened from death, break free from the control of the Crown of Domination, and continue to write your own legendary story in this world...】
Oh my god, this Undead Covenant seems very interesting.
You can choose from different races, and there are additional racial talents. I feel that adventurers from the Undead Covenant have a lot of advantages.
Now Varian has finally fulfilled his wish, and the power he gained is enough to protect the world.
However, Murphy felt quite happy that his second brother became the leader of the camp.
Murphy couldn't help but think of the four major camps that Wang Xuan had mentioned to him. Now the four major camps were completed.
Moreover, the leaders of these four major camps all have a good relationship with him - well, except for Badao Wuqing, who seems to have an average relationship with him.
I believe it will be much more convenient to do anything in the future.
However, Murphy didn't feel happy for long before another official announcement was updated on the official homepage.
[World Announcement: In the year 1442 of the Sky Era, just as the Lich King Gul'dan was defeated at the gates of Dalaran, the Eredar Lord Diabolo led the Chaos Cult to successfully find the Temple of Sargeras. He used powerful magical powers to raise the island from the bottom of the sea, and successfully opened the door of the temple, finding the remains of Sargeras from it.
Now that the power of Sargeras has been activated again, a huge portal has opened in the square of the temple, and the Burning Legion has launched a full-scale invasion of the world.
Huge legions of demons continue to arrive in this world through the portal.
Just as the alliance was celebrating its victory, a new crisis was unfolding.
This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles - Burning Era. 】
[World Announcement: With the defeat of Lich King Gul'dan, the 2.1 Age of Scourge has come to an end. As the game's plot progresses and develops, the game is about to enter the 2.2 era and start a new expansion pack [Age of Chaos], which will be launched soon.
The demon army from the twisting void is about to descend upon this world. After a lapse of ten thousand years, the Burning Legion finally invades this world again.
Now, the crisis of destruction affects everyone.
Whether it is the Human Alliance, the Orc Tribe, the Night Alliance, or the Undead Covenant, they will all face unprecedented challenges.
Brave adventurers, follow your hero and protect your kingdom and people.
The relevant information of this expansion pack has been officially updated, and players can log in to the official website to view relevant information. 】
Murphy's heart was shocked. It had come, it had come.
Murphy was not surprised at the content of this announcement. Among the four disasters predicted, after the first Scourge, the next one should be the Burning Legion.
This is also in line with the development of the original historical .
What he didn't expect was that it was Dia Pineapple who personally opened the Tomb of Sargeras and summoned the Burning Legion. It seemed that this guy must have planned it long ago.
Previously, they instigated BOSS players to riot collectively and launch attacks on the major kingdoms of the Alliance. They also publicized that the Scourge was going to attack Dalaran and summon the Burning Legion.
As a result, all players' attention was focused on Dalaran.
Now it seems that all this is just to create smoke and mirrors to attract players' attention.
Gul'dan is quite unlucky. He finally mastered powerful power, but he is just a target to attract players' firepower.
This Dia Pineapple was really insidious. He attracted everyone's attention to Dalaran, but he himself did not appear in the Scourge lineup. Instead, he went to the Broken Isles to dig out the Tomb of Sargeras.
Everyone has heard of the Tomb of Sargeras, but it is not so easy to dig it up. Not to mention the terrifying bosses sealed inside, just raising the temple from the bottom of the sea is not something that ordinary people can do.
It seems that this Dia Pineapple is most likely the guy who triggered the original plot mission.
Quite interesting. Quite interesting.
Murphy thought about it and clicked on the content of the expansion pack to check it out.
Since it is a new expansion pack, there must be new game mechanics.
The following is a brief summary of the information of the expansion pack:
Open a new adventure map - Broken Isles.
In the Endless Sea, there are scattered broken islands, which were once part of the ancient continent, torn apart in the big explosion. Now they have become the base and springboard for the Burning Legion to invade Azeroth.
There are horrible monsters everywhere, and it is filled with fortresses and military camps built by the Burning Legion. Any adventurer who comes here will be attacked and killed by demons.
The Legion-level dungeon - Temple of Sargeras has been opened.
This is an ancient temple that has been silent for thousands of years. Now, with the opening of the Demon Lord, its secrets are once again revealed to the world.
Although Sargeras's body has been taken out and used to build a portal, countless secrets and treasures are still buried in the temple, attracting adventurers to investigate like moths to a flame.
The Alliance, the Horde, the Night Alliance, and the Undying Covenant will all send out their own reconnaissance forces to establish forward bases on the marginal islands around the Broken Isles to conduct reconnaissance on the Burning Legion.
Adventurer players can join the reconnaissance team through the recruiting officer of their camp, arrive at the Broken Isles, and fight against the Burning Legion.
Added a new monster force - the Burning Legion.
Power rating: Invincible.
Faction leaders: Sargeras (hidden), Kil'jaeden (hidden), Archimonde (already on the scene)
The Burning Legion is the main monster force in the current 2.2 Chaos Age version, and Archimonde the Polluter is the final BOSS of the version.
Added new player selectable monsters:
Destroyer, Demon Guard, Succubus, Imp, Cerberus, Hellfire Demon, Destruction Guard, Doom Guard, Fel Engineer...
Added new player-selectable demon bosses: Dreadlord, Abyss Lord, Eredar Lord, Succubus Queen, Destroyer Matron, Berserker Commander, Doomsday Lord...
(The demon bosses in this series can be born in the Broken Isles and surrounding maps, and appear directly in their original form, without the need for summoning. However, since they appear in their original form, once they are killed in a plot event, they cannot be resurrected through the Twisting Nether).
Added new game mechanics——
Mechanism 1: Hellfire Rain. As the Burning Legion invades the main material world, Hellfire Rain will fall periodically on various continents, and 10-100 Hellfire Demons will be refreshed in an area. They will also attack nearby cities. Eliminating Hellfire Demons can obtain a large amount of rare ores and resources.
Mechanism 2: Demon Gate. In order to increase the invasion efficiency and open up more battlefields, the Burning Legion began to use wild teleportation magic to randomly open portals to the main material world. Every time a demon gate is opened, a demon army will be teleported to the target area. The army will be led by a BOSS-level legion demon and attack nearby cities. Destroying the demon leader can drop a large amount of top-quality equipment and gain a lot of reputation from the four major camps at the same time.
Mechanism 3: The Burning Legion's expedition. The Burning Legion will continue to send troops to this world through the main portal located in the Broken Isles. When the number of troops reaches a certain scale, it will randomly launch an expedition against a certain official camp in an attempt to completely destroy the camp. The Burning Legion's expeditionary force will not stop attacking until it is completely destroyed.
Mechanism 4: Archimonde’s act of annihilation.
The world-destroying BOSS Archimonde has appeared in the Tomb of Sargeras. He is accumulating troops and preparing to launch a final attack aimed at destroying the world. No one knows where his target of attack is. When the strength of the Broken Isles reaches 1 million, Archimonde will personally lead the Burning Legion to launch an attack.
Eliminating the demons of the Broken Isles can slow down the launch of this apocalypse.
Eliminating Archimonde would end the operation once and for all.
Current number of Broken Isles demons: 3%.
(As the boss of Skyworld 2.2, Archimonde gains 50% all-attribute gains, 100% extra health gains, and holy armor, making him incapable of effective damage from conventional physical and magical attacks.
When Archimonde enters the battlefield, all Burning Legion units gain the 'Demon's Fury' effect, increasing damage by 50%.
Mechanic 5: God Killer.
The hero who participated in killing Archimonde will be awarded the title [God Slayer] and receive a legendary achievement...
