Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 572: The Call of Destiny
Murphy's troops quickly gathered together. The Dragon Knights have always implemented the strategy of elite troops, and the size of their force is not large. Even if they go out in full force this time, there are only more than 5,000 troops.
There are 1,000 Dragon Patrollers, 1,000 Dragon-Armored Heavy Cavalry, 1,000 Dragon-Blooded Giant Warriors, 500 Storm Priests, and in addition, there are 2,000 Dragon Knights as reserve forces.
Considering that the Sky City is in the sky, Murphy does not plan to bring all his troops there, but since the guardian dragons have brought a large number of ground troops there, Murphy must make more plans.
Even if he was just keeping up appearances, he had to bring some with him. In addition, he had to explain his departure to other leaders.
Murphy came to the coalition headquarters halfway up the mountain. At this moment, the leaders of the three major camps and almost all the heroes who came to participate in this war gathered here.
Murphy walked through the crowd, came to the sand table, and went straight to the Emperor Shenwu.
"Brother Shenwu , lend me two of your airships."
The Emperor Shenwu was a little surprised, "What do you want an airship for?"
Murphy said calmly, "Our current strength is not enough to fight Archimonde. We must have a stronger force to intervene. I have a feasible plan, but I need several flying vehicles to transport the troops to complete an important mission."
The Master of Fraud launches——
Of course, Murphy's words were not meant for the Emperor Shenwu to hear , but for the other characters in the command center. Now that the army was approaching, he had to find a reason even if he wanted to leave.
Otherwise it would be embarrassing to explain.
Besides, he was not lying. If Murphy could really ascend to the Dragon God, then he would be fully confident that he could defeat Archimonde alone.
Malfurion was shocked when he heard this. "Lord Aidan, you are leaving? Why? Isn't the power of the Ancient Dragon King enough?"
Murphy shook his head. "Not enough! Archimonde is far more powerful and more dangerous than you can imagine. He has conquered countless worlds in the past ten thousand years. His power has grown far beyond your imagination. His power is far beyond any enemy we have faced in the past. Even the Lich King Gul'dan is just a tool of the Burning Legion. So I must go on this journey. Only in this way can I be sure of achieving the final victory."
Everyone's face looked a little solemn. As the king of ancient dragons, Murphy spoke in a convincing manner. Originally, everyone was very confident about beating up Archimonde, but after hearing what Murphy said, they all became a little unsure.
The Emperor Shenwu secretly sent a private message to Murphy.
Emperor Shenwu: Brother Aidan, is what you said true?
Aidan: Of course it's true. How hard is it to defeat the Lich King? It's not like you haven't defeated him before. He's just a level 2 annihilator, while Archimonde is already a level 4 annihilator.
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "Okay Aidan, I'll lend you three airships. Go quickly and come back quickly. If you come back late, be careful that I will kill Archimonde by myself. Then you won't get any of the equipment dropped."
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Hahaha, of course. Don't worry, Brother Shenwu. I won't miss a battle like the one in Archimonde."
After saying that, he looked at Godwin again, spread his hands, with an expression that said - 'you know'.
Godwin was helpless. "Okay, I can lend you my Holy Light, but please don't break it. I spent a lot of money on it."
Murphy naturally agreed.
With these three airships and the Holy Light, it is almost enough.
As for Ba Dao Wu Qing, even though the orcs also have airships, they are all crappy products built with goblin engineering. They might explode while flying. He doesn't want to lose the troops he has worked so hard to build.
The Holy Light airship can carry 500 people, and each of the three airships can carry 200 people. A total of 1,100 troops are enough.
Murphy immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to set off. He brought 800 dragon-blooded giant warriors led by Asona, 200 storm priests led by Angus, 1,000 dragon riders led by the four great disaster dragons, and also brought Vivian Nightsong to act as a support.
As for other heroes he knew, Murphy did not bring any of them. The battle in Sky City was very crucial and very private. Players would not feel at ease with him even if they were familiar with him. Only those heroes and soldiers whom he had full control over could be absolutely trusted.
As for the remaining troops, Murphy handed them all over to Roland, who stayed in the camp at Mount Hyjal to prepare for the war.
After loading the ground troops into airships and spaceships and escorted by a thousand Dragon Patrollers, Murphy immediately led his expeditionary force into the sky.
The location and coordinates of the Sky City are recorded in the ancient dragon wisdom, so Murphy does not need to look for it deliberately.
As if taking a familiar route, he headed straight for the unfamiliar sea area west of Kalimdor.
Looking at the airship and the army of dragon knights going away, everyone was silent. The battle hadn't even started yet and their most important pillar was gone. This was not good.
The atmosphere is somewhat heavy.
The Great Emperor Shenwu began to comfort everyone.
Emperor Shenwu (Centaur King): "Don't worry, Aidan will come back sooner or later. A boss as big as Archimonde and a plot event of the level of the Holy War of Mount Hyjal may only happen once every three to five years. I know very well how difficult it is for legendary heroes to advance. He will definitely not miss it."
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Horde Chieftain): "That's right. Besides, even if there is no Aidan, what does it matter? We have so many heroes here, five or six legendary heroes alone. I think we should just treat Archimonde as a wild boss. Let's just form a hero group, with the tank holding the healer and adding DPS, and then we'll be done."
Godwin (King of Light): "Hahaha, well said. I will be responsible for healing you. Who among you will be the main tank?"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent in an instant.
Tanking the Lich King can kill people, so who the hell dares to tank Archimonde?
This game is not like those purely numerical games in the past. It has a killing setting. For a guy as big as Archimonde, he could flatten a mountain with one punch. All kinds of fel magic are no joke.
Everyone looked at each other and no one was willing to take the lead.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore.
Furious Gandalf (Battle Mage): "Damn, you are a bunch of cowards, you are scared by Archimonde, how can you survive in the fight against Sargeras? If no one else goes, then I will be the main tank!"
Morgan Lisa (Arcanist): "But you are a mage?"
Furious Gandalf (Battle Mage): "So what if you're a mage? I'll show you what a real melee mage is!"
Voldemort (Shadow Mage): "Don't be so cocky. I think we should let the NPC be the main tank. By the way, Cenarius has been resurrected. Let him tank Archimonde. He's a demigod with a lot of health."
The players were arguing loudly, but Tyrande pulled Malfurion aside.
Tyrande: "My dear, perhaps we should consider 'that' plan proposed by the Emperor."
Malfurion hesitated for a moment. "But - it shouldn't be that serious. With so many heroes gathered here, no matter how powerful Archimonde is, he can't be our opponent. Besides, the teacher has been resurrected. If he takes action..."
Malfurion did not say the second half of the sentence, mainly because he had placed too much hope on Cenarius last time, and ended up dying on the way before he even reached the battlefield. This made him feel somewhat unsure.
Tyrande said, "It's better to be prepared. If the World Tree is destroyed and the power of the Well of Eternity is controlled by Archimonde, then everything will be over."
Malfurion hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. "Okay, I will prepare everything. If the coalition forces can't resist, I will summon the ancient elves to join the battle, but I don't think this plan will be useful."
…
The sky was filled with dragons, like a moving dark cloud.
The sound of dragon wings flapping the air was like a storm, and the scales of thousands of giant dragons flashed colorful light in the sun.
It's like a gorgeous aerial show.
This is the sky above the Endless Sea. Several months have passed since the defeat in the conflict with the Storm Dragon King, and the dragon army has finally set out en masse once again.
Although the guardian dragons had suffered heavy losses in the previous conflicts, especially the deaths of a large number of ancient dragons which had caused considerable damage to the strength of the dragon army, the army was still powerful and had a strong foundation. At this time, the scene of thousands of dragons moving in full force and clustering together was extremely spectacular.
Not only does it have a huge air force, but there are also a large number of ground troops. The blue dragon clan uses magic to create a large number of floating force fields, carrying a large number of orc warriors and dragon guards. They are like invisible spaceships, following behind the dragon group and being dragged forward in the air by the dragon group.
Flying at the front of the legion are naturally the five guardian dragons.
Ysera (Green Dragon Queen): "The Sky City is in this direction. We should be there soon. Sigh, it's been a long time since I've returned to this hometown."
Alexstrasza (Red Dragon Queen): "Yes, it seems like it was a lifetime ago, Nozdormu - how long has it been since we left the sky city and went back to Kam'atra?"
Nozdormu (Bronze Dragon King): "Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-four years, nine months and eighteen days."
Nozdormu is worthy of being the Guardian of Time, and he can recite accurate numbers without hesitation.
"It's been more than 30,000 years. The storm there must have dissipated." Alexstrasza said uncertainly.
The group of dragons flew higher and higher, gradually moving away from the ground, and continued to climb towards the sky, as if they were about to enter space.
As we flew higher and higher, the clouds were constantly thrown below us, and we finally entered a calm and windless airspace.
(Coming soon!)
Did the first generation Dragon Kings think so?
Another layer of cloud was pierced through, and suddenly, a huge storm appeared in front of the dragons.
The storm was so huge that it covered most of the field of vision, appearing in front of the eyes like a block out the sky. The dark storm went straight into the sky and connected with the dark sky. The thick clouds made the sky look like a deep hell. The red lightning flashed silently in it, containing terrible power.
Kalecgos uttered an exclamation, "Oh my god, that's it!"
As a young dragon king who was only over 20,000 years old, it was the first time for him to see such a spectacular sight.
The Red Dragon Queen let out an annoyed roar, "Damn it, the storm is still there!"
"What's this storm about?"
Faced with Morpheus's questioning, Alexstrasza explained helplessly.
"The sky city of Kamyatra, the home of the ancient dragons and the abode of the Dragon God, is deep in the storm.
More than 30,000 years ago, the power of the Dragon God surrounded this city. When the city was in danger, the storm barrier surrounding the city would be automatically activated. This was a direct manifestation of the Dragon God's power, and it released a destructive force that originated before the birth of the universe.
At that time, the Sky City was attacked by the Ancient Gods from outside the world. The Dragon God led us to fight against the Ancient God Xalatas and activated the power of this storm. Later, the Dragon God died, but the storm remained. It will automatically attack all life except the ancient dragons. I originally thought that this power had already subsided in the past tens of thousands of years, but I didn’t expect that there was no change at all. "
Morpheus couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. Is this the power of God?
"Can't we force our way through? How powerful is the dragon thunder in the storm?"
Alexstrasza thought for a moment. "Of course we can force our way through, but that would inevitably result in heavy casualties, especially among the young dragons..."
Alexstrasza looked at the group of dragons behind her anxiously. An adult dragon could still barely withstand the power of dragon thunder. Although it was dangerous, as long as their luck was not too bad and they were hit continuously, they could still rely on their strong physique to force their way through. But an ordinary young dragon would probably die if hit by a dragon thunder.
The young dragon is not much better. A few dragon thunders are enough to be fatal.
Not to mention the orcs and dragon soldiers standing on the floating force field.
If this army forced its way through, it would probably lose at least half of its forces.
Today, the Dragon Legion is no longer the same as before. The heavy casualties caused by several consecutive conflicts have greatly damaged the strength of the Dragon Legion. The legion in front of them is already 70% of the strength of the five major dragon legions. The young dragons and young dragons are the successors of the dragon legions, and the loss is also very painful.
After this operation, I'm afraid I'll have to spend some time having children.
Kalecgos (Blue Dragon King): "Morpheus, are you sure you can ascend to the Dragon God? If you fail, the lives of countless compatriots will be wasted..."
Not only will there be heavy casualties in the process of entering, but the interior of the Sky City is probably also full of dangers. After entering, there will inevitably be a battle. If you can ascend to the Dragon God, it will be fine. If you cannot ascend, you will have to go through many twists and turns on the way out.
It would be fine if the plan succeeded after spending so much manpower, but if it fails, all the money would be lost.
"I can definitely succeed, and I must succeed! This is my destined mission!"
Morpheus said firmly.
Ysera was puzzled: "Why do you have to fight so hard? Are you willing to give up even your duty to protect this world? Perhaps we can make a long-term plan..."
Ysera was very opposed to this plan. She was the one who planted the World Tree with her own hands, and she was the one who took good care of it and watched it grow. She also had the closest relationship with the night elves.
Now that the demon army is at the gates of the city, she has no choice but to leave the World Tree and come to the Sky City, a place that makes her sad and scared.
Faced with the threat of the dragon thunder storm, he was the first to back down.
Murphy suddenly laughed, and his laugh was extremely cold. He seemed to be explaining to the four dragon kings, or he seemed to be muttering to himself.
"Protect this world? Haha, that's just an empty slogan, a false lie.
You have all been deceived. You know nothing about the truth of this world. This so-called world is nothing but an invisible cage. We are all prisoners in this prison, without exception.
Do you think you are fighting against demons? Against evil gods? Against elemental lords? Against those terrible beings that threaten the safety of this world?
No, your enemies are far more than that, they are more terrible than you can imagine, they are everywhere, they cannot be defeated, even if they are killed ten thousand times, they will come back again, they have no fear of death, no mercy, no mercy, and most of the time, you can't even notice their existence.
This battle is doomed to fail, and in the end you will have nothing left but lies and despair.
This world will be completely destroyed in the most cruel way.
Do you think the losses suffered by the Dragon Legion in the past few years are a tragedy? No, the real tragedy has not yet happened, but it will soon, it will soon...
No one can stop this from happening - except me, and only me.
So I must get the power of the Dragon God!"
The four guardian dragons exchanged glances. Morpheus' words made them confused, yet they also felt a shudder. The horrifying truth hidden in those words seemed to be within reach, yet they could not fathom it.
Ysera whispered, "Then there is no need for us to act now. Let's help the night elves defeat the demon army first, and then-"
"No, we only have this one chance. Don't forget that the Ancient Dragon King Aidandelon is also trying to seize the power of the Dragon God. He is constantly increasing his own strength and gaining more authority. Once he succeeds, we will lose our last hope.
Only now, drawn by the Legion, will he pause. Only now will we have a chance to complete the prophecy first. This is our only chance.
You have all heard the prophecy. The storm of doom is coming, and no one will be spared. Only the Dragon God can save the world. For this only hope, any sacrifice is worth it. Whether you follow me or not, I will continue to move forward. Even if I am the only one left, I will complete my mission. "
Morpheus' voice was filled with an indescribable determination. He did not wait for the four dragon kings' replies, but roared directly at the group of dragons behind him.
Morpheus (King of the Black Dragons): "Black Dragon Legion - Forward!"
The Black Dragon Legion also let out a series of dragon roars, and then, led by Morpheus, flew towards the huge storm.
" Nozdormu , is what he said true?"
Although she hated her brother who liked to be mysterious, Alexstrasza couldn't help but ask.
Nozdormu did not answer, but turned around, let out a dragon roar, and flew directly into the storm.
"It looks like we have no choice." Alexstrasza sighed and roared the same command to the dragons behind her, followed by Ysera.
The dragons responded one after another, following their king into the unfathomable terrifying storm.
Keep moving forward.
