In history, everyone in Darrowshire was slaughtered.
But in this recreated 'history,' Chromie's magic allowed Ben and his friends to participate in this cruel war from the past.
Defeat the corrupted Captain Redpath to save his soul and Darrowshire.
Finally, as Captain Joseph Redpath's last health bar was emptied, the violent look in his eyes cleared up, and excited and joyful sounds were heard.
'The undead Scourge has been defeated! Darrowshire is saved!'
Countless people began to cheer.
Everyone dropped the weapons in their hands.
In the cheers of the people of Darrowshire, their figures became more and more blurry and finally slowly disappeared.
This was all their obsession, all their unwillingness and longing.
But when the Darrowshire they had been protecting with such dedication was finally safe, they were released at that moment.
The souls of Paladin Davil and Joseph Redpath stood in the village, smiling at Ben and his friends.
Davil gave Ben and his friends the most noble salute a paladin could give: "The war is over, the people of Darrowshire are saved, all thanks to you, dear dwarf, elf, and gnome friends, you are all heroes of Darrowshire!"
Joseph Redpath also expressed his gratitude: "My eyes were blinded by darkness, but you saved me from evil black magic, thank you."
Finally… the battle was over, the images of the past faded away, and the tormented souls of Darrowshire were finally able to find peace.
"Let's go, let's go back and see little Pamela!"
Having completed the task, Ben breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zack and the others next to him also nodded with emotion.
Back at Pamela's place, the little girl ran out happily when she saw Ben and his friends arrive.
'The battle is over! I heard my dad talking to me.'
'He scared away all the undead by himself! And he said he's on his way home, I'm so happy! He also said that if you come to our house, I have to welcome you properly.'
'So I've made tea! I hope you like tea with lots and lots of sugar.'
Listening to Pamela's innocent and lovely words, Ben and his friends all sighed deeply.
This was probably one of the most touching tasks they had ever done in the game.
Pamela continued to smile and said.
'Dad told me to give you this key, he said you can use it to open a box behind the house.'
'He also wants me to thank you, did you help him? Did you tell him that you helped me find my doll?'
'Okay, here's the key… thank you, you are all kind gentlemen!'
This key was the reward for completing the task, and it could be used to open the treasure chest behind the house.
After opening it, there were a few pieces of blue equipment with good stats.
But Ben and his friends were not focused on the equipment.
Because at the door of the house, Joseph Redpath, who had been redeemed, had returned.
Seeing Joseph Redpath's figure, Pamela ran over excitedly.
'Dad?'
'Dad, you're back? Dad, you're back!'
'Let's go play! No, tell me a story, Dad!'
'No, let's go pick flowers! And then drink tea! I found my toy doll, did I tell you?'
'I really missed you, Dad!'
Looking at Pamela rushing towards him, Joseph gently hugged his daughter with a smile.
The two of them waved to Ben and his friends, turned around and left towards outside the house.
'Dad, where are we going?'
'Honey, shall we go home?'
'But isn't this our home?'
'No, our home is no longer here, our new home is full of golden sunlight, and Mom is waiting for us there too.'
'Mom is also waiting for us? Then let's hurry, Dad!'
'We're going home!'
In the dusk, Joseph held Pamela's hand and walked forward, eventually disappearing into the sunset.
......
Watching the figures of the adult and child disappear, Ben sniffed.
He felt that his eyes and nose were a little sore.
And Joey, who was more emotional next to him, even had a slightly choked voice at this time.
"Damn it, Lucas, you never change! Why make a task in an MMORPG so touching!" Zack cursed, but his voice was also a little choked up.
In his past life, this task called 'The Battle for Darrowshire' in "World of Warcraft" also moved many players.
And that was when the technology was not enough to perfectly express the visual effects.
Now, with VR rendering, the resulting performance directly brought many players to tears.
At the same time, they also felt a little sad.
Who could have thought that an MMORPG could also hurt them like this?
It seems that Boss Lucas really doesn't forget his original intention!
"Let's go, let's level up two more levels, and then go help old man Fordring to get that painting back."
Looking at his teammates next to him, Ben changed the subject.
Hearing Ben's words, the four friends just nodded heavily.
Pamela and Redpath were already dead, all that was left were their souls.
But old man Fordring and his son, whom they met in the Plaguelands, were still alive!
They wanted to help Fordring and his son live happily.
Before, Ben and his friends didn't have much emotion.
But after experiencing this mission with the little girl Pamela, their emotions were stirred up, and this was the only thought they had now.
This was also what many other players were thinking.
The Plaguelands was definitely a place that most players hated.
Because they couldn't find any reason to like it.
A barren wasteland, full of ruined towns, and disgusting monsters everywhere.
And the monsters here often appeared in groups, so you had to be prepared to run back to your corpse if you weren't careful.
But at the same time, the Plaguelands was also a place that left many players with deep memories.
The stories of the little girl Pamela and Darrowshire touched countless players.
At the same time, whether in Western Plaguelands or Eastern Plaguelands, it evoked memories for countless "Warcraft" old players.
To the south of Sorrow Hill, there was a place blessed by the Holy Light.
That was the tomb of Uther the Lightbringer, leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
In addition, Stratholme, which was famous in Eastern Plaguelands, also made many "Warcraft" players feel emotional.
It was in Stratholme that Arthas, who was still a paladin, had a conflict of ideas with Uther the Lightbringer and Jaina.
In the end, the prince, alone, raised his butcher knife to prevent the spread of the plague, killing the residents he had once vowed to protect.
After that, the fire of revenge gradually made Arthas paranoid, which was also the main reason why Arthas decided to go to Northrend to find Frostmourne to gain power and kill the Dread Lord.
It can be said that many scenes in the Plaguelands were closely related to the stories in "Warcraft".
But at the same time, these stories were all incredibly sad histories.
This was also reflected in the tasks in the Plaguelands.
Killing people, there was only the first time and countless times.
As they slowly came into contact with the various tasks in "World of Warcraft", players gradually felt that "malice" from someone.
The tasks at the beginning didn't have such a strong impact, that was to give you a break.
Now that you have fallen into the big pit of Warcraft and are almost max level, it's almost time for your soul to welcome the baptism of love again.
As the versions are updated little by little in the future, the number of touching tasks will definitely not decrease, but will increase.
Bradenbrad, who died alone in the Silver Covenant pre-quest, and Dar'Khan Drathir, who could only use blood petal sprouts to mourn after feeding blood petal sprouts before the cataclysm...
Don't forget your original intention, this is Nebula Games' excellent slogan.
