Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 568: Strategic Master Archimonde
Broken Isles - Tomb of Sargeras.
The ancient night elf temple has now become a den of demons.
The portal was working non-stop, and countless demon armies of the Burning Legion continued to arrive in this world.
From the Tomb of Sargeras outward, the demonic armies continue to expand the power of their defenses.
At this moment, this island has become the base for the Burning Legion to conquer the world.
A crow flew through the clouds, through the clouds that had turned a pale green due to the evil energy, and found a shelter between the walls of the ruined temple. It blinked its eyes and silently observed everything that was happening below.
At this moment, the generals of the Burning Legion have gathered in the square of the temple to hold a meeting.
Archimonde glanced at the demon lords around him. In order to complete the conquest of Azeroth, the Burning Legion dispatched a group of powerful demon lords from various planets to join the war.
The Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of Dread, the Lord of Doom...
Surrounded by hundreds of demon commanders, such a luxurious lineup, coupled with his own powerful strength, made Archimonde full of confidence in the outcome of this war.
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "Demon lords of the Burning Legion, welcome to the new world. I think you know very well what our purpose is in this world. We suffered setbacks ten thousand years ago, but this time, I, Archimonde, will lead you to completely destroy this world and let those mortals who dare to confront the Burning Legion know the consequences of being my enemy.
I have strategic thinking that mortals don't have, I have powerful forces that ants can't resist, and I have you, my capable assistants. This war is a foregone conclusion, and victory is within reach. Cheer up, demon lords, cheer for the destruction of this world, cheer for the victory of the Burning Legion. "
The demon lords let out a meaningless roar, both to vent the rage in their hearts and to express their obedience to Archimonde.
The society of demons is one where the weak are preyed upon by the strong and the powerful are respected. In response to Archimonde's speech, everyone must respond.
"Roar, roar, roar!" Dia Pineapple roared a few times perfunctorily, waiting for the next content.
Unexpectedly, Archimonde looked at him.
"Diya Pineapple, my most capable lieutenant, you did a great job this time and successfully opened the door for the Burning Legion. I will grant you even more powerful strength and magic."
"Great Archimonde, it is my honor to serve the Burning Legion. I am willing to follow you and ask for nothing more."
"Hahaha, well said. Those mortals who don't understand this truth are doomed to destruction. Hahahaha."
Dia Pineapple was not surprised by Archimonde's arrogant laughter, but those players who had just created an account in the Burning Legion were somewhat stunned. Why did this Archimonde look like he was not very smart?
In fact, Archimonde's intelligence is not low, but the Burning Legion is too powerful. He has been conquering different worlds for tens of thousands of years and has never encountered any decent opponents. Wars are often won with just one push.
Over time, Archimonde naturally became extremely arrogant, and his use of strategy and tactics completely degenerated.
So in history, although Archimonde clearly had an absolute advantage and controlled the huge military forces of the Burning Legion and the Scourge, he was still defeated at Mount Hyjal and was blown to death by a group of ancient elves.
Fortunately, I have the assistance of myself as a player this time. As long as I actively help Archimonde to provide advice and fill in the gaps, coupled with Archimonde's powerful strength and the Burning Legion's huge army, I can naturally win.
Dia Pineapple (Eredar Lord): "Lord Archimonde, I have conducted many investigations and surveillance on the various factions in this world. According to the reports from my spies, several major forces in this world have noticed our invasion. They are gathering their forces and preparing for a decisive battle with Lord Archimonde at Mount Hyjal."
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "Hahaha, these ignorant fools actually want to fight me head-on. That's great. The more they come, the more we can catch them in one fell swoop, and we don't have to slowly wipe them out later. Let them come, the more the better! We will hold our troops in place for now, and it won't be too late for us to send out troops when they have gathered enough troops."
Dia Pineapple cursed inwardly, "What an idiot."
His original intention was to attack directly before the opponent had finished gathering. Although the Burning Legion's manpower was currently limited, it was enough to deal with a night elf. Moreover, in terms of the lineup of generals, it was far superior to a mere Night Elf Alliance. If he waited until the three major camps had finished gathering, it would be difficult to deal with.
It’s difficult to deal with so many heroes in the three major camps alone.
I didn't expect that after hearing this, Archimonde would just keep his troops in place. This wouldn't work.
Dia Pineapple (Grand Lord Ayre): "Lord Archimonde, I have a suggestion. Since the enemy's main forces are all gathered in Mount Hyjal, why don't we avoid the strong and attack the weak, and send out a large army to destroy the enemy's cities and kingdoms one by one. Once the home of the Alliance, the Horde, and those undead traitors is destroyed, the main force of the enemy in Mount Hyjal will surely fall into chaos. Moreover, without their home, their war potential will be greatly destroyed. In this way, we will undoubtedly win."
Since we can’t defeat them in one wave, let’s fight a long-term war and take over the enemy’s homeland first.
After hearing this, Archimonde really thought about it carefully.
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "That makes sense, Dia Pineapple. It seems that you have indeed analyzed this war carefully."
Dia Pineapple was immediately delighted. He had thought that Archimonde would be arbitrary, but he didn't expect that he would be so receptive to advice.
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "But your plan is too conservative. Why do you want to destroy them one by one? These ant-like mortals are no threat at all. I will destroy them all at once. Whether it is the Alliance, the Horde, or the Undead traitors, they will all be reduced to ashes in front of the Burning Legion.
I will send out three armies at once to wipe them all out in one go."
Dia Pineapple was shocked when he heard this and thought, damn, this idea of yours is really outrageous.
It would be great to destroy them one by one. With the power of the Burning Legion, if they attack a camp alone, it will definitely be a crushing victory. But if they start a war on multiple fronts, it won't be so easy. Besides, fighting on two fronts is a taboo in military strategy, let alone fighting on three fronts.
How did Germany lose WWII?
He hurriedly continued to dissuade.
Dia Pineapple (Lord Ayre): "But Lord Archimonde, there is only one of you. How can you attack these three forces at the same time? I think it is better to concentrate our forces and defeat the enemies one by one."
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "Hahaha, you are right, Diabolo. I only have one, and I can't deal with all these mortals at the same time. But there is no need to deal with these ant-like mortals. I don't need to go out in person.
Mannoroth, Lord of the Abyss, I command you to lead an army of demons to wipe out the orcs who betrayed the Legion and bring me the head of the orc chieftain.
Tichondrius, leader of the dreadlords, I order you to lead an army of demons. Those undead dared to betray the legion and must be destroyed. Go and kill the Lich King for me and bring me the Crown of Domination and Frostmourne.
Kazzak, commander of the Doomguard, I order you to lead an army of demons to attack the human alliance in the eastern continent. It's time to let those tiny humans know how tragic the end will be if they fight against the Burning Legion.
When you have eliminated these three forces, I will personally go to deal with Cenarius and those hateful night elves. I will crush these elves with my own hands and burn the World Tree they cherish. "
When Dia Pineapple heard this, he almost vomited blood, thinking what a weird strategy this is, you obviously have a million demon army to use, you can just attack in one wave and win, but you insist on splitting into several groups and sending yourself to be killed.
You said I was right, but you didn't listen to any of the suggestions I gave.
Although the three sent by Archimonde were all very strong, why did they attack one by one? They couldn't handle hundreds or thousands of heroes, so couldn't they attack together?
There are hundreds of thousands or even millions of adventurers in their camp alone. If you divide the troops like this, you will just be sending yourself to waste.
"But Lord Archimonde!"
"Why, you want to be the commander of a legion? I can give you such an honor. Lead an army of demons to clear the obstacles to Mount Hyjal for me."
Dia Pineapple said hurriedly, "No, no, no, I think it's better for me to follow Lord Archimonde and listen to your direct command."
"Hmph, that's it."
Dia Pineapple looked at the three demon lords who left to select their troops, and suddenly had a bad feeling about this war. The Burning Legion was extremely powerful, but it could not withstand the stupid boss.
Yes, these are the game mechanisms released by the official announcement of the game before. Does that mean these game mechanisms cannot be changed?
…
Godwin: It has been confirmed. I just got news from an informant that the Burning Legion is preparing to attack from four directions and go to war with the four major camps at the same time.
Aidan: Really? This guy is pretty confident.
Godwin: I guess it's the result of the system's arrangement, mostly to give players a sufficient sense of participation. After all, such a big game event can't end too quickly. There must be a sense of ritual, so that players can feel happy and satisfied with it, but it can't be too difficult for players to defeat it.
Aidan: Yeah, that makes sense. The big villain always sends his subordinates out one by one first, and then goes into battle himself. This makes things convenient for us. Do you have the confidence to deal with Kazak?
Godwin: It's no big deal. We have only sent out the vanguard troops, which are mainly engineering troops. They will go to Mount Hyjal to repair the defense line. The main force is still at home. It's just in time to defeat Kazzak first and then go to Mount Hyjal to deal with Archimonde.
Aidan: Well, if you can’t beat them, remember to call me. I can also find time to go back and help you.
Godwin: Of course.
Murphy communicated with Badao Wuqing and Shenwu Emperor again.
Turn off private messages.
Murphy couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the existence of this system was quite interesting. As long as he followed the script arranged by the system, he would have a sense of going with the flow. No matter how powerful Archimonde was, he was just an actor under the control of the system.
This is a sure thing. If Archimonde is just as stupid as this in the subsequent Battle of Mount Hyjal, there will be almost no risk.
Maybe he wouldn't even have to attack head-on. He could just wait for the ancient elves to blow Archimonde to death, and then he could go up and forge authority directly. There would be no risk at all.
Archimonde's fel authority is probably at least medium-level, or even powerful. If he's lucky, he might even be able to seize the natural authority of the World Tree and the arcane authority of the Well of Eternity.
He was thinking happily when there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door.
"Lord Aidan, we spotted a strange fleet, possibly an enemy, you'd better come and take a look."
…
Murphy looked at the fleet passing by diagonally in the distance, and the Eye of the Ancient Dragon instantly magnified the objects in the distance.
The fleet was huge, at least three times larger than the Storm Fleet he led, with hundreds of huge warships with rough shapes and strange flags.
At first glance, the fleet's flag looked a bit like an abstract sun symbol, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a giant eyeball-shaped pattern with many tentacles coiled around it.
Ancient God? Could it be that person?
Murphy looked up at the sky, and sure enough, some Obsidian Destroyers were hovering over the fleet.
Murphy immediately knew who the owner of the fleet was—it was Ner'zhul's Abyss Fleet!
Murphy still remembered that when he separated from Varian, Varian specifically reminded him that Gul'dan had met Ner'zhul and Deathwing in Northrend.
I didn't expect to see it in person so soon.
But shouldn't Ner'zhul have gone to Ulduar to dig for the Old Gods? Why did he go to the sea again?
Could it be that he has successfully dug out Yogg-Saron? And seized Yogg-Saron's power?
This stuff is quite efficient.
He still remembered that he had seen this fleet on the sea before. At that time, the fleet sailed southward and into the fog. He guessed that they were going to Pandaria to look for Yashaar.
Murphy was conflicted. Should he do it?
If the most exaggerated case is true, Ner'zhul might have obtained the power of the three ancient gods: C'Thun, Y'Shaarj, and Yogg-Saron . In other words, he must have the power of the void in his hands.
And the level of authority must be very high, medium authority or even strong authority.
However, if he really has such strong strength, I am afraid I may not be able to win.
Although there are still four disaster dragons on their side, the other side also has Deathwing and some other bosses.
Moreover, the enemy fleet is larger, so it is hard to say who will win if a real fight breaks out.
Murphy couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of this.
The key is that his world-destroying strength is not complete, and several rewards have not been unlocked, so he is not sure if he can defeat the opponent.
Even if he could win, his fleet would probably suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, Murphy felt that he probably couldn't win.
To fight Archimonde, the four major factions had to attack together, so they could be more confident in seizing power. Now, letting oneself face Ner'zhul alone was not wise no matter how one looked at it.
According to the prophecy, the third natural disaster is very likely related to the ancient gods. Wouldn't it be easy to join the four major camps in fighting against the ancient gods at that time?
Thinking of this, Murphy had already made a decision.
"Everyone on alert."
"Sir, are we going to war?"
"No, there is no need to make things complicated. We must first resolve the threat of the Burning Legion. All personnel just need to remain alert. If the enemy does not attack, we will just pretend that they do not exist."
