The Candidates to Bite the Dust

Although the script was finalized in terms of how it would be written, whether it would follow the plot was another matter. After all, in the Sky World, the game company didn't have absolute control, and all plot points, once they occurred, couldn't be changed. They could only control the development of the game's plot through divine pronouncements from a few deities. For example, if they wanted to kill a few Alliance and Horde heroes during the Elemental Tide event to heighten the atmosphere, it was hard to determine who to kill. Ultimately, they didn't have the ability to control these high-level NPCs; they could only rely on actual action. If they couldn't kill them, there was nothing they could do.

Especially for some powerful boss heroes, it's very difficult for game companies to kill them.

Therefore, this script still needs to be executed by these BOSS players and heroes, which is why the game company offers such high salaries to sign contracts with these players.

As soon as Zhang Xinghun left, the group of heroes surrounded Xiao Yu.

"Hey, Lao Xiao, remember not to kill me later, okay? We're brothers, you have to let me show off a bit," Mofeitosi said, trying to get on my good side.

Xiao Yu really couldn't refuse this request, since the two were old acquaintances, and Mofeitosi had helped him a lot in the past.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. You can ride your dragon around me, and I'll let you hit me a few times to show off."

"Haha, thank you so much!"

At that moment, Esmehalda also came over. "I won't ask anything of you, anyway, I know you won't hurt me." Esmehalda's words were quite confident.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Of course not. I wouldn't kill you, no matter who I kill. Just keep your distance and cast spells. I'll pretend I'm being held back by other heroes, and then I'll throw a few skills at you. Just remember to activate your shield."

He had just finished making arrangements with two old acquaintances when all the female heroes gathered around him. The female heroes who had won the nomination were all quite beautiful, and with so many beautiful women surrounding him, Xiao Yu was really having a hard time keeping up.

"Um, Mr. Xiao, our Elf Maiden Group are all petite women, so please take good care of us."

"Yes, yes, we Rose Knights also need your help. Please go easy on us, Brother Xiao."

However, some people are tactless.

"Hmph, what's so great about him? He's just the Elemental King. Come to Darnassus, I'll make sure you regret it!"

The speaker was a rather pure and lovely young girl, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a long emerald green dress and had a somewhat elfin beauty, resembling the Moon Goddess Ranger Kaya Shadow Hunter.

Although Kaya Shadow Hunter seemed determined to fight evil to the bitter end, Xiao Yu couldn't bring himself to do it after seeing the little girl's serious expression.

These female heroes were all incredibly beautiful, and Xiao Yu wasn't the type to be ruthless towards them. He would give the girls some face, so it seemed he could only set his sights on the male heroes. With that thought in mind, his gaze immediately fell on those male heroes.

These people had different expressions. Some, who considered themselves powerful, such as the Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint and the Arcane Master, didn't care much about Xiao Yu's attitude. They were even eager to try, seemingly thinking of taking down a few of the Elemental Tide event bosses. If possible, they even hoped to have the chance to kill the Elemental King, even the Elemental King in Descent mode, which would be a great honor.

As for those idol-type heroes, they were a bit nervous. They couldn't act cute like the beautiful women, nor were they as powerful and unrestrained as the Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint. They were somewhat uneasy in the face of Xiao Yu's gaze.

Suddenly, a Paladin slapped his thigh, "I know! Brother Xiao, we have no grudges against each other, and we don't want to make things difficult for you. How about this, let's just send out two NPC heroes to get their lunchboxes (kill them off)."

"That's right!" The others immediately realized as well. This game doesn't only have player-controlled heroes; there are also many NPC heroes.

"Right, right, let's bring out a couple of NPCs to die. These NPCs are famous and popular, their deaths will create a tragic atmosphere for the players."

One mage hero said, "I think our Alliance should just let Varian get his comeuppance. He's a king; his death will be quite a shock."

"No, Varian is our king. His death would be a huge blow to the Alliance." The speaker was General Raymond, the Grand Commander of the Stormwind City Royal Guard. He was very practical; as the Grand Commander, he would be held responsible for the king's death and might even face some consequences. Moreover, Varian Wrynn greatly valued him; if he were to die and replaced by the young king, things might be very different.

"How about we send Duke Bolvar to his doom?" Raymond suggested, his eyes darting around.

Mofeitosi suddenly sneered, "You wouldn't happen to have your eye on someone's wife, would you? Last time at the King's banquet, I noticed you and Countess Katrana exchanging glances. What, are you planning to kill her husband and take the throne for yourself?"

Raymond quickly waved his hand, "I'm not that kind of person." But the drool at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts.

"Hehe, let me warn you, that Katrana Prestor is no ordinary woman. Her true form is actually a black dragon, the Black Dragon Princess Onyxia. If you want to sleep with her, be careful you don't get killed off by the plot."

"Holy crap, really? How did you know?" Raymond said incredulously.

Mofeitosi said, "It's absolutely true. Forget about it. That woman is not someone you can touch. Besides, Bolvar is my buddy. We were drinking together last week. How can I, as a brother, just watch him die? I think it would be better to let Marshal Maxwell finish his lunchbox. That old guy is already in his seventies or eighties. He's had enough to die for."

Ansar, the commander of the Lion Knights standing nearby, immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, that's a good idea. He's so old and still occupies the marshal position; he's just a useless figurehead. And that Marshal Windsor, he stole several of my kills when we went to Alterac Valley to fight the Horde last time. We might as well kill him too."

The person to be killed off was quickly decided amidst everyone's chatter.

While the Alliance arranged who would be eliminated, the Horde were engaged in heated discussions.

"Then who from our Horde will die?" an Orcs hero asked.

"Vol'jin, I've disliked him for a long time, and he was practically invisible anyway. He's dead, so be it," said the Troll bessor-bearer, the chieftain of the Tauren.

"Damn it, don't think I don't know, you want to kill Vol'jin and take over, don't you?"

"Heh, you figured that out."

"If you ask me, I'd say the Queen is better. That woman is such a slut. Last time I went to Undercity to deliver a message for the Warchief, she barely answered my questions. It was infuriating!"

These words enraged Cecilia, the Dark Ranger. "Don't touch our Queen! You filthy Orcs! I think that Varimathras, should be sent to his Dreadlord. That guy is clearly no good; he's always staring at people with those lecherous eyes. He's so annoying!"

"It's not tragic enough for just Dreadlord to die, how about we let Old Ox die instead?" The one who spoke was the leader of the Tauren Chieftains. He was the chieftain of the Thunderhorn Tribe, which was second only to the Bloodhoof Tribe among the many Tauren Horde. If Cairne Bloodhoof were to die, he would still have a chance to take over.

Listening to the group's discussion, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "I've figured it out. There aren't many good people among these heroes of the Alliance and the Horde. They all want to kill their superiors so they can take their place."

However, he didn't say anything. He didn't really want to offend these people anyway, since they all made a living this way, and it wouldn't be good to kill anyone. If he could choose a couple of suitable NPCs, that wouldn't be bad either, since NPCs don't have human rights anyway.

Finally, after unanimous discussion among the heroes, it was decided that Marshal Windsor and Marshal Maxwell of the Alliance would be eliminated.

Meanwhile, the Horde sent out Varimathras the Dreadlord of Undercity and General Nazgrel of Orgrimmar to meet their demise.

When the Elemental Tide arrives, the other heroes will try to get these guys out to tank in front, and then Xiao Yu can just collect the kills.

As for the other minor characters, just kill a few of them casually.

As for who will take the lead and command the armies of the Alliance and Horde in the later stages of the expansion, that will be decided by their abilities.
