Chapter 731 - Small Game Warcraft, and the World’s Nightmare
At this moment, all the players in the new shop and the old shops were watching the new cinematics trailer.
By now, even some players in the new shop had begun using the new communication jades produced by Wuwei Daoist Alliance, so they could watch the trailer when they were not in the shop.
A group of elves gathered in the lounge area of the new shop, each with a communication jade in hand.
The sun had just risen, and the radiant lights shined through the morning clouds.
“I… have been prisoned for 10,000 years!” A deep voice sounded as thunder rumbled in the sky.
“I was then expelled from my homeland. Now, you dare to trespass my territory? You are seeking death!”
“Wow…!”
“Who’s this?” The assassins were also watching the trailer. Although they hadn’t seen the entity who just spoke, they felt like this being was lofty and grand after hearing it.
In the next scene, blue-skinned draeneis opened scrolls. The beautiful palace decorated with crystals glittered as if holy lights were flashing inside. This scene signaled that in the new version of the game, the Alliance would have a brand-new race.
Sunlight dyed the distant clouds golden. Under the red maple trees, the beautiful blood elves caressed the mana wyrms that seemed to be a little vague.
“Ya-! Blood elf!” Sala pointed at the elf who was wearing a bright-red priest’s robe in the virtual image and said, “Finally, I can choose blood elf now, right!?”
In the battleground, orc warriors swung their swords fiercely and fell as messy arrows shot them. Behind them, blood elf priests lifted their magic wands, and then Holy Light fell.
Elves almost screamed in elation, “Arise! My warriors!”
“Ahya! The Horde players can choose priest too?!”
…
Above the desolate land, the dark green clouds in the gloomy sky looked as if they would fall at any moment.
A demon sat on the top of a mountain. Then, it slowly stood up, revealing its powerful iron-like body.
“Who is this?!”
“It looks powerful…” Elina exclaimed while she watched this.
Other assassins were also enthralled by this trailer.
“This is Illidan!” Sala looked disdainful. “How come you don’t know it?”
“Ah? What one Egg? How come I don’t know this name?” The assassins looked puzzled. After all, they had also read the official novel and played the game.
How come only you know this name?
[TL Note: In Chinese, Illidan’s pronunciation sounds like ‘one egg’.]
In her communication jade, Sala dug out a screenshot of a small game named Warcraft. “This is a small game in Qzone. Other than Illidan, there are also Sylvanas and Arthas in the game!”
“Huh? We have such a game?!” Looking at the exquisitely-made little figures which were totally different from those in World of Warcraft which was a virtual reality remake, they asked, “Why isn’t it included in World of Warcraft?”
At this moment, Illidan leaped up into the clouds and spread out the demon wings. With the silver moonlight shining on the pitch-black demonic presence, he looked down proudly and said, “You are seeking death!”
“My goodness! This person looks powerful! Tell me how to play Warcraft that you just mentioned? Can we increase cultivation strength in this game too? I want to play it too!” Elina exclaimed.
“Um… it doesn’t increase your cultivation strength,” Sala said in embarrassment.
She was embarrassed to introduce others to a game that wouldn’t increase their cultivation strength.
“I don’t care! I want to play it even if it doesn’t increase my cultivation strength!” Elina waved her hand. “Does it tell us the things that this Illidan did in the past?”
“It does… This Warcraft is very simple.” Surprised that Elina still wanted to play the game without the benefits of increased cultivation strength, Sala immediately explained the small game named Warcraft to her.
“Different from World of Warcraft, Warcraft is played with the mouse… many of the stories are about events in World of Warcraft. But you can play this loading map. We now only have this one map called ‘loading map’ of ‘Midnight Pig Butcher’… this map is made by the shop owner.”
“How come the shop owner loves this kind of names?” Elina heard the name ‘loading map’ and found it to be quite strange.
“Where did you find this kind of stuff…?”
“New Snow told me,” Sala said, “There are many interesting small games in Qzone. There’re cartoon and anime too. I’m MT is super fun. Do you want to watch it?”
[TL Note: I’m MT is a popular Chinese Warcraft cartoon.]
“Oh… she’s one of your friends from the East Continent, right?” Elina asked with sudden understanding.
…
At this moment, the vast sky above the Orc Kingdom was terrifyingly gloomy.
Black ravens covered the sky and let out shrill screams as if they were announcing the arrival of death.
On the horizon, darkness oozed out from the crack in the sky.
The darkness spread out like ocean waves, swallowing the ground while it swarmed in this direction.
The ground tilted as if a huge monster was trying to tear open the ground and crawl out from the depths.
The ground was collapsing and sinking, and the defense magic arrays seemed to be useless.
At first, people only saw dark clouds covering the land. However, the clouds moved at a great speed, and only when they came before the city wall could people see that a horrifying army was inside the dark clouds!
The army was so huge that one couldn’t see the end of it in one glance. There were at least over 100,000 soldiers!
Among them were humans who didn’t belong to the East Continent or the West Continent, and there were also non-humans among them.
These soldiers had different facial features, but they all had one similarity. They all wore the same style of black armor and had cold and blood-thirsty eyes. They…
“They are the Shadow Legion…!? Shadow Legion!” As the ground shattered, the city walls collapsed while booming noises resonated in the sky. Countless ordinary orc soldiers who couldn’t fly fell from the city walls while screaming.
The prosperous orc city was instantly turned into a hell of death!
In this huge city, countless orcs who couldn’t fly were swallowed by cracks in the ground. When the huge earthquake stopped, the whole city was in shambles.
As far as eyes could see, there was not a single spot left intact.
According to legends, wherever this legion went, it would turn the place into scorched land of death. Once people found those planes that were invaded by the Shadow Legion, they only saw blazing sun and white bones buried in yellow sand, which were all the things left in those worlds.
Some people joined the legion due to fear, which was why there were all kinds of races among them, even including saint level human masters.
They were the nightmares of the world!
