Chapter 1839: Dungeon Clusters
After the death of King Godok, Li Yao smoothly became the new king.
A two-headed Ogre Sorcerer bowed slightly to Li Yao: "You have become the new king of Godok. Willing to serve you, my king, you may call me Observer."
Li Yao nodded: "Is there any ceremony needed?"
Observer smiled: "Your brave victory over the previous king is the best ceremony. But you still need to receive the tribute we offer to the king, it's a token of our appreciation."
"Then let's go, I want to know the real situation of Godok now," Li Yao said.
Observer smiled bitterly: "Godok is not doing well now, suffering from internal troubles and external threats. Not to mention the world-level chiefs, the two old chiefs are aging, I am still too young, and the previous king was troubled by this issue. Otherwise, we would have retaliated against the provocations of the sub-dimension relatives long ago. Now this heavy burden falls on your shoulders, my king."
"It's impossible for Godok to enjoy peaceful days while occupying this location. Now that it's being focused on by various camps, just sitting idle like before is not an option." Li Yao paused his steps: "I suppose you've guessed it, I'm not a true ogre, but I can lead you further and provide a clear path."
Observer's smile grew more bitter: "My king, Godok no longer has the right to choose, but I will supervise you and won't let you bury Godok. Otherwise, even if it means my death, I will make you pay a heavy price."
"Well, you probably won't find such an opportunity because you'll see that the name of Godok won't disappear and will grow more prosperous. I won't treat you as cannon fodder sacrificed in the battle against the sub-dimension ogres, for you have greater value. However, at key moments, I need strong individuals to limit a world-level enemy." Li Yao said seriously.
"You truly are... Sigh, the road ahead is long, and there's truly no paradise in this world." Observer knelt on one knee: "As long as you keep your promise, you will always be the king of Godok, I assure you."
"You're indeed a smart person." Li Yao shook his head slightly: "But rest assured, though the road ahead may be turbulent, on my ship it will remain steady as usual."
"Let's hope so, my king, please follow me, you need to at least meet the various chiefs." Observer led Li Yao to a large hall.
Meanwhile, when Li Yao killed King Godok, the world channel was flooded again.
"System: Prairie Fire killed the world-level chief, King Godok, and became the new King Godok. The Dire Maul North instance is open, divided into war mode and ten-player challenge mode."
"System: Dire Maul North is open, the Central Garden Area instance is open, completing the hard mode of Dire Maul North unlocks the Central Garden, which offers forty-player and hundred-player modes."
"System: Dire Maul instance unlocked, melee weapon profession quests open, Magician epic Nightmare Warhorse quest open."
"System: For detailed information, please check the official website or visit the main cities of various races to obtain the starting quests. Once the pre-quests are completed and the city war is over, the team who completed the quests can challenge the new level sixty instance."
These system prompts burst like chain explosions before everyone's eyes, leaving all online players stunned.
Players then rushed to the official website to learn about the instance details. The website provided the background information of the instance and basic information of all the bosses, along with loot tables for each difficulty.
Simultaneously, the melee weapon quests and Magician's epic Nightmare Warhorse quest were announced, causing the entire game to almost boil over.
Even though they understood that the Dire Maul instance group wasn't a mainline instance, it didn't mean the loot from side instances wasn't good.
Nowadays, as players gradually reach the maximum level, with no mainline instance open, players must rely mostly on luck or chests to obtain good max-level gear, yet the gear being produced is far from meeting demand.
With the Dire Maul instance group, only two areas are now open, but the number of chiefs and the loot are incredibly enticing.
Especially the melee weapons, driving all melee professions crazy, while Magicians became objects of envy for other professions because of the epic Nightmare Warhorse image showcased, which was incredibly stylish and impressive.
Countless players started heading to the main city to get pre-quests.
However, some informed players were puzzled, wasn't Li Yao capturing the main city of the sub-dimension? How did he manage to kill bosses in Dire Maul?
This left countless people confused, with only a few speculating that Li Yao might have used a clone to kill the boss.
Meanwhile, the Ogre players were getting excited. They suspected Dire Maul was an instance, but with few max-level players and the hesitance to explore, they didn't act rashly.
It turned out Li Yao had attacked their main city, leading to a problem as they learned about Godok's mechanics.
Now the Ogre players were going mad, as this was a matter of instance leadership – from their perspective, this war had to be won.
They understood the instance's significance as players and with it being a group of instances, it was predicted to become incredibly lively over a long period.
It was expected to become a must-raid instance for max-level players, which meant endless popularity. If Li Yao won this war, Starfire would quickly stabilize the main city with popularity, which was something the Ogre players couldn't bear to see.
Otherwise, they might as well never hope to hold their heads high in front of other players in the future.
Immediately, the Grand Magician also received this news, and his face instantly turned ashen, never imagining such things would happen.
In this situation, it was like a bolt from the blue for them.
"Damn it, why does Godok have such ridiculous rules, and we didn't know? How did that Prairie Fire brat figure it out?" Even with the Grand Magician's mindset, he nearly exploded, as this news was too important.
"What made you lose your composure?" Raven God asked.
The Grand Magician smiled bitterly: "We've all been fooled by that Prairie Fire kid. He even has a clone; he dared to enter Gordok Ogres' territory with just ten people, and he defeated King Godok in the arena. More ridiculous is that Prairie Fire has become the new King Godok after defeating the king."
"There's actually such a thing." Raven God sighed: "This junior truly has heavy schemes, calculating every step, it's going to be difficult to fight this battle. Even if we win, we'll probably pay a heavy price."
Everyone was silent, wasn't it true? That was more than two million elite troops, which was the reason for their hesitation; but then Prairie Fire exploited the opportunity...
