In the fourth year after the Dark Portal was opened, Stormwind City fell.
Facing the surging orc army, Marshal Lothar made a difficult decision.
All the soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Stormwind boarded ships from the port and evacuated, taking the coastal route to the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the north to seek assistance.
The orcs have no navigation skills and are unable to continue pursuit, but this does not mean that the sea is safe.
The Stormwind Kingdom's fleet was robbed by pirates!
Several groups of pirates entrenched at the southern end of the Eastern Kingdom continent chose to put aside their grudges and cooperate to take advantage of the situation and slaughter the fat sheep of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
The naval battle took place at night, and during the naval battle, a Stormwind Kingdom ship accidentally broke away from the fleet, carrying 100 soldiers and 900 civilians. It deviated from the northern route and sailed westward on the sea current.
The ship's commander, Reed Victory, after wiping out the pirates who boarded the ship during the boarding battle, despairingly discovered that they could never return to the correct course.
The Endless Sea is full of dangers, and temperamental ocean currents are one of them.
No matter how experienced the captain is, he must be cautious when sailing. If he accidentally strays into other sea areas, he may be taken to an unknown place by the ocean current.
As for turning the ship around and returning to the correct course? If you do that rashly, the consequences may be that the ship capsizes and people are killed!
When the captain told the news, the whole ship fell into panic.
Li De knew very well that if panic was allowed to ferment, it would probably lead to a tragedy on an isolated ship! As a commander, he must stand up at this moment!
Standing on the bow of the ship, Li De banged the plate armor on his body, and the sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"I have to tell everyone some sad news, because of those damn pirates, we can't go to Lordaeron.
But I promise everyone that no matter where our ship ends up, I will defend everyone’s safety to the death!”
Originally, what Li De said could not have a very positive effect.
But unexpectedly, just as Li De finished speaking, a golden light fell from the sky and shone on Li De!
At the same time, a prompt sounded in Li De's ear.
"Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement of killing a thousand enemies and being promoted from an elite warrior to a heroic warrior."
Li De had never been thankful for the slowness of this system. This achievement had already been achieved during the battle, but it was only now that he finally recognized it.
And this scene, in the eyes of everyone on the ship, was simply a miracle!
'Holy light! Could it be that this commander will guide us to a brighter path?'
People began to make up their minds unconsciously, and Li De's subordinates asked cautiously.
"Captain, how do you feel?"
Li De smiled brightly and said to his subordinates calmly.
"Just now, I became a hero."
Another burst of exclamation! Heroic warrior, this is the level that only top generals can possess! Marshal Lothar of the Kingdom is a powerful hero!
After experiencing the "miracle" just now, the civilians on the ship heard the news and became even more convinced of their previous guesses.
Having the protection of one heroic warrior is more reassuring than ten elite warriors.
Seeing that people were no longer panicking, Li De finally relaxed his tense spirit. Most of these civilians came from an urban area. As long as there was no panic, their police officers would naturally maintain order.
Because the spirit is relaxed, a strong feeling of fatigue follows.
He leaned against the ship's railing and sat heavily on the deck, causing the plate armor on his body to rattle.
At this time, Li De had time to open the system interface and check it out.
After he was born into this world, he joined the army at the age of 16 and is now 28 years old. In these 12 years, his enemies have changed from kobolds, jackals, murlocs, trolls, orcs...
One crop.
Until today, he finally achieved the achievement of killing 1,000 enemies and became a hero!
'Who would have thought that a loser like me could actually become a hero.'
With this thought in his mind, Li De called the system assistant's name.
"Eureka."
"Heed your instructions, my leader."
"See how many productivity points I have."
"Yes, your personal data interface has been opened:
Leader: Lid Victory
Civilization: Azeroth
Wonder Level: 1
Wonders built:0/3
Buildable level: 1/7 (ancient times)
Individual strength level: 2/5 (hero level)
Available Productivity Points: 2049
Settlement: None
Land available for placement: None
(Note: Productivity points are not enough to build wonders.)"
Listening to Eureka's cold electronic sound, Li De sighed, it was like this every time.
"It's only a little over 2,000, but it took me 12 years. It's a long way to go."
Thinking that the least expensive ancient wonder would require 18,000 productivity, Li De couldn't help but feel discouraged.
2049 points are productivity points, which Li De obtained by killing 1,000 enemies in 12 years.
The calculation standard of the system is:
Kill ordinary beasts that invade the camp and gain 1 point of productivity;
Kill the beasts and weakly intelligent races (such as kobolds and murlocs) that invade the camp and gain 2 points of productivity;
Kill the highly intelligent races that invade the camp (such as gnolls, trolls, orcs) and gain 3 points of productivity.
[Note]: It must be an infringement of the beast or race of the camp, active provocation and killing does not count.
Although at first, Li De thought it was a bit cold-blooded to put a price on life.
But later, with the frequent beeps from the system and the astronomical amount of money required to build the wonder, Li De became numb.
'Anyway, I probably won't be able to achieve it in my lifetime. If it wants to repay it, just repay it.'
Although he insisted on this idea in his heart, Li De couldn't help but look at the still gray wonders interface.
When he was an elite soldier, there was only one wonder he could view. Now that he has become a hero, he has three wonders he can view, all of which are "ancient wonders" that are randomly refreshed.
This is because its construction level is still 1, and there are only 6 ancient wonders in the refresh library.
Only after 3 wonders are built and the construction level reaches 2, the wonders of the next era can be unlocked. At that time, the number of wonders that refresh the interface will also become 4.
'You can't even reach the wonders of ancient times, how dare you think about those?'
Li De smiled mockingly and looked at the three ancient wonders in the refreshing pool:
Construction terrain: required to be close to the quarry.
Wonderful effect: Inspire a wilderness demigod/Loa god/prophet to arrive, and through enlightenment at Stonehenge, create a religion belonging to the leader.
(Note: If the leader has a monastery, the cost productivity will be reduced by 30%)
2. Great Pyramid (Ancient): Productivity 22,000 points.
Construction terrain: requires desert plains or river flood plains.
Wonderful effect: Randomly makes a production professional under the leader become a master level; all production professionals under the leader will have their abilities upgraded by one level (grandmaster level and above will not be improved).
(Note: If the leader has a master mason, cost productivity will be reduced by 40%)
3. Oracle (ancient): Productivity 29,000 points.
Construction terrain: hilly terrain is required.
Wonder effect: A city with this wonder can attract a hero-level strongman (and above) to visit every month, and increase his favor, with a 0.01% chance of triggering the hero's effect.
(Note: If there are more than two heroes (including the leader) within the leader's sphere of influence, the cost productivity will be reduced by 10%)
Looking at the system's introduction to these three wonders, Li De almost stopped drooling. However, looking at the productivity that would be spent, and then looking at his meager 2,000 points, Li De suddenly felt sleepy.
Forget it, forget it, go to sleep, you will have everything in your dreams.
Li De fell asleep leaning on the side of the ship. He had a dream. In the dream, he was standing on the top of a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there were majestic wonders in the city. Behind him stood the strongest men in Azeroth...
…
I don't know how long it took, but Li De suddenly trembled and opened his eyes to find that it was the captain calling him.
It turned out that it was already dawn, and Li De yawned and stood up.
"How long did I sleep?"
The captain did not answer his question because he had more important things to say to him.
"Mr. Commander, based on my experience, the ship has been heading west. I can guarantee it. What we are about to reach is the legendary continent, Kalimdor!"
