Chapter 57: The Truth About the Behemoth

After getting the key information from the panda, everyone in the strategy group discussed.

First of all, they determined the most basic principle - this giant earth-walking dragon will definitely not appear out of thin air, and it will not be something "outside of the game". It must have appeared in a certain plot or setting of the original game, but for some reason, it may not appear in the actual mission that the players are exposed to.

This principle must be predetermined first, otherwise their discussion will be meaningless.

Because what they are discussing is no longer how to kill this giant herbivore, but what kind of responsibility this guy bears in the game plot in the first place, and what kind of role does it play?

Such a big beast should definitely not be without drama!

But...... Where will this guy's role be?

"Definitely not in the Empire invasion section!" Sleepless said firmly, "This guy is huge, and he is definitely not a small character. Even if it's a parallel import, such a big piece is not an ornament. Whether it was killed by a dragon-slaying hero, or sacrificed by some evil mage, it was an earth-shattering event. Most of the people who kill it are legendary powerhouses, or simply a stepping stone for a strong person to step into the legendary advancement. ”

The idea was well received by everyone, who tried to recall as much as possible whether there was a famous young master in the middle of the game or even later in the game who had made a name for himself by slaying dragons.

But when I think about it, I can't think of it.

Of course, there are dragon slaying powerhouses, and it is not for nothing that young heroes slay dragons and become famous. However, the dragon killed by the people has a name and a surname, and the identity is clear, and it is definitely not this herbivore whose name is not even known.

For example, Marius's son, Finn, once slain a dragon. Together with several companions, he slain a fire dragon that awoke from hibernation in an underground magma lake due to a volcanic eruption, and became a famous hero of the Southern Merchant Federation.

But...... No one has ever heard of killing this herbivorous dragon and becoming famous.

So, could its death be the occasion for some great evil magic to be completed?

The first thing that came to mind was the Great Plague in the city of Tarakhan.

According to the plot, the great plague swept through the entire city of Tara Khan, and even the clergy who could cure diseases could not escape. If it weren't for the fact that a group of unsung heroes (i.e., the players) found the altar of the deceitful Erica, killed her, and destroyed the altar, I am afraid that not even a single person in the entire city of Tara Khan would have survived!

Not only that, but the plague also spread throughout the Earls of Tara Khan, resulting in a large number of casualties. There were several noble lords who died in the plague alone, so that the defenses of the entire border region were emptied, allowing the empire to take advantage of it.

It would make sense if Erica managed to capture the beast and sacrifice it to the demons of Hell in exchange for the Plague Altar.

But there is a big problem with this assumption - Erica is really not a high-level character, the mastermind behind the Tara Khan Rebellion, her own combat power is not strong, in the game, as long as she can break the trick of transforming into a team member, it is almost effortless to beat her, and even easier to fight than the final boss of the novice village, the necromancer Hamer.

So the question is, how can such a boss who can only transform into a medium-sized humanoid creature catch that huge beast?

"She doesn't have a group of subordinates, just go up with them. "Someone said so.

"Impossible!" Panda directly denied this speculation, "Those of her subordinates, it's not that I look down on them, and their combat effectiveness is really not very good." It's not me bragging, as long as we find five or six teams out of the more than 20 people now, we can bulldoze the original manor. With this kind of combat power, fight that Earth Dragon? Wipe out all of a sudden, okay......"

"Could she be using poison? I remember that her poison attack was also very powerful, and if there was no anti-poison equipment, or no antidote prepared, it would not be surprising that the group would be wiped out. ”

"A poison that works against humans is probably not of much use to such a giant beast. ”

"Yes, the dragon itself has a high anti-poison bonus, and such a large man must have an anti-poison bonus...... All in all, if you want to put it down, you need only to use a bucket of toxins...... It doesn't feel very reasonable. ”

"And it's not easy to poison herbivores. "Herbivores are much pickier about their food than carnivores, and if it doesn't taste right, they probably won't eat it." In contrast, carnivores eat a lot of carrion and don't care about taste at all. ”

If this guy wasn't going to be killed by Erica, then who would it be?

Everyone pondered and desperately dug into the information in their minds, and eventually, a necromantic knight came up with a possible explanation.

I remember that when the game developed to the appearance of the necromantic forces, there was a very powerful necromantic knight in the necromantic army. This necromantic knight is powerful in its own right, and it also has three terrifying treasures, namely the Dark Magic Sword, which can directly absorb the opponent's life as long as it hits, the Blood Bone Armor, which can transfer damage to a nearby altar no matter how many times it is hit, and the Ghost King War Horse, which can devour the souls of the newly deceased and then control their corpses.

These three treasures are extremely powerful, and when combined, they make the necromantic knight have no weakness in either a single fight or a group fight. So in the later plot, he made a great name, and the famous general of the kingdom, Cincinnati, died under his hands, and even if it weren't for a legendary powerhouse who lived in seclusion in the royal capital, even the royal capital would have been broken by him.

This super boss is naturally extremely powerful, but when you look at his origins, you find that he is not a particularly powerful character.

It is said that the powerhouses of the necromantic forces cannot appear out of thin air, and they must also have a clear origin. A boss like this must have a very awesome origin - for example, it is like the head of the "Three Horsemen" of the necromantic forces, that is, the generalissimo of the Northern Kingdom (the predecessor of the empire), who was poisoned by the king because of his high merits, and his body was stolen by the necromancers after his death, and he awakened to become a necromantic knight.

For example, at the end of the Three Knights of the Necromancy, he was once a generation of famous generals, and Panda also dealt with him - yes, he is the Knight of Galil, or rather, the Knight of Galil who was killed in battle, had his body stolen, and was resurrected as a Necroknight.

However, the second in line among the three knights of necromancy has no origin at all, just an ordinary knight who plunges into the darkness.

Such a character is really not worthy of his prestige.

In the game, there is no detailed explanation of how this guy became so strong - some people say that the joke is due to nepotism or something, such as his sister may be the favorite concubine of the Necromantic King.

But the necromantic knight of the traverser came up with another explanation.

The second seat of the Three Necromantic Knights may have used the Dark Magic Sword to absorb the life force of this herbivorous dragon to become so powerful.

This speculation is very vague and uncertain, but after everyone discussed it, it was listed as one of the biggest possibilities.

Because...... Other speculations are even more unreliable.

Until we find a reliable conclusion, let's take this guess for the time being.
