Even if no one interfered, Lu Li and four of Ruling Sword's elite groups might not be able to defeat Bygraves. It was obvious that he was a level 60 Hero Boss. Even if he wasn't a Hero, he was still stronger than a regular Wild Boss. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
The reason why Lu Li was able to kill three level 60 Bosses in the Blasted Lands was because of the talisman that reduced their strength.
Although the average level of Ruling Sword's elite group was around level 57, it was still impossible to defeat Bygraves. This made Lu Li question the feasibility of the quest.
"Do you know who the commander of the Alliance is?" Garona asked.
"I don't know," Lu Li said as he shook his head.
"Shandris Feathermoon. To you Night Elves, she may just be a young girl, but Tyrande values her very much. She hired many teachers to train her," Garona said.
"Pfft," Lu Li almost spat. He had just thought that Bygraves was undefeatable, but he didn't expect the commander of the Alliance to be so strong.
Although many people suspected that Shandris Feathermoon was the daughter of Tyrande and Malfurion, she was actually an orphan. When she was very young, she wandered alone in the forest and almost got eaten by a big tailed wolf. Tyrande Whisperwind casually saved her.
This was the first time that the little loli had seen such great power. (It was just killing a wolf, so what was so great about it?), so she stuck to Tyrande Whisperwind like a piece of sticky candy.
She couldn't get rid of her, so Tyrande Whisperwind took her to join the Elune Sisterhood. No one would have thought that this little girl would one day become the commander of one of the strongest armies in Azeroth, the Night Elf Sentinels. She would become an existence that stood at the top of the food chain.
According to the background of the game, she should still be in the learning stage, so commanding this battle was like training.
"Will she fight?" Lu Li was still doubtful.
In fact, the Battle of Hillsbrad was designed by the system to entertain the players. Although the NPC army would participate in the battle, they wouldn't deliberately steal the limelight from the players.
"I've taught her for a while. Don't look at me like that. Shandris isn't a Thief. She just needs to familiarize herself with a Thief's fighting style. She's already agreed to help the people I sent out. You can meet her at the Feathermoon Stronghold later. She usually trains there," Gahrona said confidently.
"Alright, tutor. I'll do my best to complete the task," Lu Li said solemnly.
"Both of your daggers are quite good, so I won't be giving you a weapon. Here's a poison for aggro. Apply it on your daggers, and it'll help you at a critical moment," Gahrona said as she took out a bag of items.
Lu Li almost vomited blood. He was really stupid. He should have used the stupid dagger in his backpack when he saw the teacher.
A crying child would get milk. Just because he had a good weapon, he didn't have to give her anything that was supposed to be given.
"Thank you, tutor." Even so, Lu Li endured the burning pain in his chest and accepted the poison. Then, just like when she arrived, Gahrona disappeared without a trace. Lu Li suspected that this NPC knew how to teleport.
Vengeance Poison: Over the years, this poison has become more and more terrifying. Duration: 6 hours. Class restricted to Thieves. Number of uses: 2/2. Countdown: 29 minutes 58 seconds.
The Battle of Hillsbrad would begin in half an hour, which meant that Lu Li had to use it before the battle began. Fortunately, it could last for six hours. Otherwise, he would have to think about the timing before using it. However, there was still a problem, and that was the use of 2/2.
If it wasn't for the fact that it had to be used within 30 minutes, Lu Li could have saved it for later.
Moreover, it was a class restricted to Thieves. So, what Lu Li had to do now was not to contact Shandris Feathermoon immediately. He could do that sooner or later. The most important thing now was to make full use of this poison.
However, Lu Li didn't think too much about it.
When Water Fairy's figure appeared in his field of vision, Lu Li's face already had a smile that he didn't even notice.
"The battle is about to start. Why did you call me here?" Water Fairy asked.
"Do me a favor later," Lu Li said.
"What for?"
"Help me kill the Horde Commander." Lu Li looked at Water Fairy's expression expectantly.
Water Fairy was shocked. Her eyes were not small to begin with, and her long eyelashes were like a pair of small fans. She said in disbelief, "Have you gone crazy from wanting to get exquisite equipment? How dare you try to kill the Horde Commander? We've been targeting the normal NPCs. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net] "
According to the style of this game, the NPCs in this type of event wouldn't be too high in level.
Currently, the highest player level was 59, which was rounded up to 60. Therefore, the normal NPCs would be level 60, and the strongest NPCs would be level 65, which would be the commanders of both sides.
However, a single level was a huge difference. When the average player was level 56 or 57, a level 65 Boss could easily wipe out a large group of players. There was no way to defeat them. Therefore, most of the club guilds, including Drizzle Court, chose to kill the normal NPCs.
The so-called normal NPCs were actually also considered Bosses, but their strength was quite average. Above them were the Officers, and finally the Commanders.
If Lu Li asked her to help fight the Officers, it wasn't impossible for the two club guilds to work together.
But the Commanders …
"When have I ever done anything unreliable?" Lu Li asked.
"Alright, what's the plan?" Water Fairy thought about it again. Lu Li had always been very reliable. No matter what seemed impossible, when it came to him, there would always be miracles. Moreover, Water Fairy had witnessed the process of Lu Li fighting the level 60 Boss.
Her first reaction was that Lu Li had something similar to the Devil's Talisman.
"When the time comes, just listen to my arrangements. Gather a few elite groups and wait for orders. As long as it's the elites, leave the rest to Wander to lead." Lu Li did some calculations. There really wasn't much use in numbers. In a battle like this, they wouldn't be able to display their full potential. Perhaps it would just increase the number of casualties.
"No problem. Leaving it to Wander is more reassuring," Water Fairy said.
Wander's commanding style wasn't too focused on the details. He liked to make big moves. This might be prone to problems in Instance Dungeons, but he was very unique in commanding large armies. Anyone who had worked with him before would be impressed. There were many people in Ruling Sword that Water Fairy wanted to poach, and Wander was probably one of them.
"Come with me to see someone while we still have some time," Lu Li said as he looked at the time. There was less than half an hour left. Shandris Feathermoon should be preparing for battle at Hillsbrad.
In this continent, there were many Alliance and Horde towns that were very close to each other. For example, Ashlana and Shredwood Village in Grey Valley, Refuge Valley and Hammerfall Town in Arathi Highlands, Theramore and Brackenwall Village in Theramore Swamp, and many other places.
Some players liked to attack the strongholds of the opposing faction for fun. This had nothing to do with good or evil. It was a dream that every man had. Perhaps even girls had it, but it couldn't be explained by their biological structure.
These players would explore the towns with weaker defenses in the game. Many of the players who were protected by these towns had just stepped into the Neutral Zone. Once the war broke out, more players would flock to these towns. Both factions would constantly invest troops into the battlefield in order to be evenly matched.
Players loved chaos, conflict, and the feeling of bloodthirst. Even death couldn't stop them.
No one could remember when the first war took place, or which town it was in. Since then, the flames of war had ignited the Azeroth Continent. There was even a section on the official forum that was filled with battle reports from all over the world. Countless war maniacs were waiting with bloodshot eyes.
But why would the PVP war be held in the Hillsbrad Hills, between Southshore and Tarren Mill?
In the first few versions of Dawnlight, the Horde players were really ugly, so the Alliance had an absolute advantage in terms of population. Most of the players still gathered together, and didn't spread out to explore the world. The only starting point of the Horde in the Eastern Kingdom was the Tirisfal Forest near the Hillsbrad Hills. This area became the first place that most Alliance players encountered real enemies.
The Hillsbrad Hills were also close to the main activity areas of both factions, the Western Plaguelands and the Eastern Plaguelands.
This was the main supply point for high-level characters to do quests and explore dungeons. As long as a few high-level characters joined the battle, the situation would escalate. Usually, it would start from a battle between low-level characters. As the players called for reinforcements in the guild or the World Channel, more and more high-level and max-level players would come to help. In the end, it would become an unstoppable war.
From a military perspective, the distance between the two towns was very close, so it would be faster to corpse run.
Neither of the two towns had strong defense facilities or NPCs to prevent the war from escalating. In addition, the undulating terrain also made the battle more interesting. These ideal factors all came together and finally created the epic Battle of Hillsbrad.
It was because of these factors that the game officials started this national PVP war.
Lu Li thought maliciously. Perhaps it was a mistake made to balance the levels of the players. In a battle like this, the middle and upper-level players were actually the main force. The more they died, the more EXP they would lose. Then, new players would have a higher chance of catching up to them.
System: The Battle of Hillsbrad is about to begin. All participating players, please head to the area and prepare for battle.
System: The Hillsbrad map has been upgraded. All participating players will receive an additional 5 Glory Points for killing enemies in battle, an additional 2 Glory Points for assisting players, and an additional 10 Glory Points for killing a high-ranking military rank holder. Players will receive even more Glory Points as a reward if they complete the NPC's assigned quests.
In Dawnlight, killing players from the opposing faction in the wild would give a certain amount of Glory Points according to the levels of both sides. If you killed someone five levels lower than you, you would receive almost no Glory Points — except if a group of players ganged up on you.
Apart from that, there was also the difference between solo kills and assisted kills. As the name suggested, it was the difference between solo kills and group kills.
The rewards that the system announced were actually quite generous. Killing one player at once rewarded 5 Glory Points. Even if you wanted to fish in troubled waters, you wouldn't return empty-handed.
As for the map upgrade, it was probably a temporary arrangement made by the smart computer group for this event. The original Hillsbrad Hills was obviously not large enough to accommodate so many players, so the system temporarily upgraded the map and enlarged it by many times.
There were also a lot of outposts and camps set up on the map, and these places would also become the trigger points of the battle.
Lu Li and Water Fairy quickly found Shandris Feathermoon, who was in the middle of assigning tasks to the sentries. This Night Elf girl was sitting majestically on a lookout with a group of sentries nervously protecting her in the middle.
This was the future General of the Night Elves!
"Who gave you this letter?" Shandris Feathermoon was holding the letter of recommendation that Lu Li had gotten from Garona.
"My teacher. She asked me to come find you," Lu Li replied calmly.
