Flame Dragon Knights

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "Rewrite the laws of this world? You mean?"

Medivh (Astral Traveler): "This world has too many mistakes, too much killing, too much desire. The world is constantly being invaded by outsiders. Although we have defeated the Orcs, the Burning Legion, the Scourge, and all kinds of evil forces, we know that there will definitely be more evil invading this world in the future."

Meanwhile, we ourselves are constantly succumbing to internal strife. Alliance and Horde are constantly waging war for territory and resources. Various races and ethnicities are killing each other for their own interests, meaninglessly wasting lives and resources that could have been used for more meaningful things, such as resisting attacks from other worlds or making people's lives better.

If things continue like this, one day, when a powerful and evil enemy invades the world, we will be too weakened by internal strife to resist.

This situation must change. Only by re-establishing rules that bind everyone can this goal be achieved, and that is the objective of our Council of Sages.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "What are you planning to do? Rule the world—that seems no different from the goals of any other villain."

Medivh (Astral Traveler): "No, there is a difference. There are two differences. First, we want to rule the world, not for our own private interests or for a pointless lust for power, but so that all living beings in this world can live in harmony."

Secondly, many people have indeed wanted to rule the world in the past. However, they either lacked the wisdom to plan for the long term or lacked sufficient power. In the end, they all failed. Why? It's simple: they simply didn't have the ability. And attempting to rule the world without the ability only resulted in war and death.

But we are different. We possess sufficient strength and wisdom, and the ability to crush any enemy that stands in our way. Therefore, we will surely succeed; all that is needed is time.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Really? Does he have to be so domineering?" If someone else said this, Xiao Yu would probably think they were suffering from severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but if Medivh said it, then it was quite possible. After all, he was once Guardian, the strongest humanoid weapon protecting the world, and he was also possessed by Sargeras, becoming a great demon king who almost destroyed the world. Medivh alone was terrifying enough, not to mention that there were seven beings like him in the Council of Sages.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "What do you intend to do?"

Medivh (Astral Traveler): "Magic, of course it's magic! Our Council of Sages excels at magic, so naturally we'll use magic to achieve our goals. Otherwise, it wouldn't be seven mages, but seven war lords forming this organization. Our plan is to create an unprecedentedly powerful spell, more magnificent than Doomsday Judgment, more stable than Time Stop, and more wondrous than the Greater Wish. Once it's created and used, the rules of this world will be re-established, and the world will operate according to our will, without the people of this world even feeling any difference." Medivh became increasingly excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming as if he could already see the day of his success.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "That sounds... truly amazing. So when will you be able to create magic?"

Medivh (Astral Traveler): "I don't know. At least for now, there's no sign of this magic. We're researching it, but so far there haven't been any results. So, you could actually think of the Council of Sages as an academic organization dedicated to the study of magic."

Xiao Yu simply couldn't imagine how magic could change and control the entire world. He couldn't even be sure if what Medivh said was true. If it were true, why would Medivh tell him so easily? Perhaps it was just a smokescreen by Medivh.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Perhaps—" Medivh smiled slightly, "Or perhaps I've told the truth, albeit with some embellishment. After all, everything we say is more or less processed; only the wise can see through the fog to the truth."

(What did he mean by that? Did he realize I was trying to fool him?)

Medivh didn't give Xiao Yu time to think further. "Well, it seems it's my turn again. I've been studying adventurers lately, secretly observing their behavior and every move. Adventurers give me an extremely strange feeling; they're the most illogical thing in this world. So, here's my third question: Why don't adventurers die?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "They've really asked about adventurers, but how should I answer this?"

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Because adventurers are different from us in terms of their structure. They are made of a reusable material, and their souls are not from this world, but from a higher dimension, from another universe. They can enter our world to adventure, and they don't truly die after death, because their souls are preserved by the Will of the Great Universe, reshaped, and resurrected."

Medivh nodded. "I see. The existence of higher dimensions? That's quite an interesting explanation." He smiled enigmatically, indicating his acceptance of the answer.

Xiao Yu said, "Then it's my turn again. My fourth question is—"

Suddenly, the tent door was kicked open, and Agnes rushed in.

"My lord, a group of dragons is approaching the skies above the camp," Agnes said anxiously.

Medivh smiled and stood up. "It seems our conversation must end here. Now, go about your business—Your Excellency, Elemental Lords."

When Xiao Yu rushed out of the tent, he saw a legion of flying dragons that blotted out the sky flying over the camp. The elemental Legion in the camp was already on high alert. Xiao Yu took a closer look at the black dragon flying at the very front.

Deathwing, Level 60, 2 Skeleton-level BOSS, 3.18 million HP.

And sitting on his back was none other than Mofeitosi in his human form— Mephist (Dragon Knight Lord), level 60, four-star hero, with 320,000 health.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "This guy's leveling up pretty fast, he's already a four-star hero. But what the heck is this Dragon Knight Lord?"

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "No need for anyone to be nervous, we're friends."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he watched as the dragons circled twice in the air before descending towards the camp.

A clearing had been prepared in the camp as a landing site for the air force. Under the guidance of the ground crew, the dragons landed one after another. There were hundreds of them, which did not match what had been agreed upon.

Xiao Yu counted them.

There are thirty adult dragons, one hundred juvenile dragons, and more than three hundred juvenile and fledgling dragons.

Moreover, many dragons had people riding on their backs, and these people generally had the title of dragon knights.

A dragon knight? This Mofeitosi is quite the player.

However, the strength of this force is quite frightening. The fledgling dragons are of ordinary template, the young dragons are rare elites, and the combat power of these two types of dragons is still quite average. The juvenile dragons are of elite template, and the adult dragons are of low-level BOSS template. With the combat power of thirty BOSS-level dragons, this military force is absolutely formidable.

Just as Xiao Yu was surprised, Mofeitosi jumped off the dragon's back and walked towards him.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "The forces you brought are far greater than we agreed upon."

Mephist (Dragon Knight Lord): "Haha, my good brother asked me for help, of course I'll do my best." Mofeitosi walked over laughing, looking at Xiao Yu in his chaotic Elemental Form with some surprise.

Mephist (Dragon Knight Lord): "I must say, your look is pretty cool."

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "You're not bad either. When are you going to build a legion of dragon Legion?"

"Mephist (Dragon Knight Lord) is from the Flame Dragon Knights. I captured the Deathwing back then. The World-Destroying Dragon Clan completely ruined their reputation after the Battle of Stormwind City. Moreover, there were already a lot of the Dragon Clan players, but soon several new Dragon Clan factions emerged: the Immortal Dragon Clan, the Hot-Blooded Dragon City, the Divine Dragon Wind and Cloud Association, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Nine Provinces Dragon Clan. Each name was more impressive than the last, leaving the World-Destroying Dragon Clan with no advantage whatsoever."

So, after discussing it with Deathwing, I decided to abandon the Dragon Clan banner and simply let the Alliance absorb them. We staged a dramatic repentance, recruited the World World-Destroying Dragon Clan, and united their Flame Dragon Knights with my knights to form the World-Destroying Dragon Clan Knights. This way, we had the Alliance's protection, and dragon knights leveled up and gained reputation very quickly. We helped the Alliance fight several battles against the Horde, successfully cultivating many heroes. Even though we only have a few hundred men, we have thirty dragon knights and dragon mages—a hero-boss combination—making us incredibly powerful. Our hundred dragon riders are also an elite-on-elite combination, stronger than most low-level bosses."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, no wonder these Dragon Clan all have green names; they're actually Alliance forces.

Mephist (Dragon Knight Lord): "This time, I've brought my entire family to help you. Our goal is to cultivate at least ten star-level heroes, even if it means total annihilation. With ten star-level heroes, our Flame Dragon Knights can gain some influence within the Alliance."

Without stars, a hero is just a lowly soldier; only with stars can they truly become an important hero in the game's storyline.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Don't worry, as long as you follow me, you might not have much else, just lots of battles, but you'll definitely get plenty of reputation points."
