Part-time BOSS

studio? Varian was a little unfamiliar with this term, but it felt vaguely familiar. He recalled it carefully and suddenly remembered it.

Brother Aidan once mentioned that someone wanted to kill his third brother Alsace, and he mentioned a studio or something...

And according to Brother Aidan, there is not just one studio, but it is similar to a thieves organization or an assassin's guild. It seems to be very powerful.

"Is the studio you're talking about an organization?"

"It's not an organization, but a collective name for a type of organization." The mage explained: "There are many kinds of studios, all kinds of them, some reselling materials, some selling equipment, some leading people on adventures, There are also people who help kill people. Your situation is a bit complicated and you may need to find some big studios to handle it. I can help you consult online and advertise, maybe there will be a chance."

Varian half understood what the mage said, but he had long been used to it. These adventurers often had some incomprehensible words coming out of their mouths. He guessed that it was probably some kind of darkening, just like a code among thieves. .

However, he could trust the mage in front of him. In his past adventure career, he had fought side by side more than once. If such a friendship was not worthy of trust, then what else was worthy of trust.

Varian nodded, "Okay, then please help me contact you. As long as it can help defeat the orcs, I am willing to pay no matter what the price."

These old friends moved quickly, and within an hour there was news. The mage disappeared for a while and then reappeared.

"Wang Wang, the people from the studio invited you to their residence for a detailed discussion. Their address is in a building near the port."

Varian took the address and walked back to the palace. He was hesitant. He was still a little uneasy about finding a studio. He didn't know what kind of truth was hidden behind these mysterious organizations. After thinking about it, he decided Just go to your eldest brother Aidan to find out about this.

Return to the palace and express your decision.

"What! Are you looking for a studio to fight against the tribe?" Murphy was stunned after hearing Varian's words. You are an NPC. Do you know what a studio is?

NPC asks the studio for help... This thing sounds so fantasy.

But thinking about it, it is not impossible to achieve. After all, the NPCs in this game are all intelligent NPCs, not much different from real people, and money is not something that the prince of the Kingdom of Storm can get as much as he wants.

To put it bluntly, money is money, and gold coins are more valuable than RMB.

For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Varian nodded solemnly, "Yes, in such a critical situation, any power that can be borrowed must be used. I know that workers are evil existences, but I think they are at least still humans. They are better than those ancient gods and Evil gods and the like are easier to deal with.”

Mo Feixin said that was not necessarily the case.

"Do you know what a studio is?"

Varian hesitated for a moment, "Probably some kind of thieves guild? A merchant guild or something like that? Isn't it?"

Murphy couldn't help but smile, "Yes, you summarized it well, businessmen and thieves... that's probably the case.

Well, the power of the studio is still very strong, and as long as the money is in place, you can do anything. If you use it well, it might actually have some effect. Let me go with you. Most of the people in the studio have no bottom line. Yes, it would be bad if I see you alone and blow you up. "

Varian said in surprise: "That's not true, their station is in Stormwind City."

"That's not possible. As long as there is money to be made, let alone a prince, they will dare to kill gods."

"I'll go too, I'll go too," Alsace said hurriedly.

Mo Feixin said that there is still a reward on your head. If you go, you will die.

"Did that person say what the studio is called?"

"Tianluo Studio."

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard of this studio. It was not good at fighting. It mainly engaged in various in-game commercial businesses, such as teleportation between cities, reselling various bulk commodities, creating top-quality equipment, and collecting intelligence. And buying and selling...Guild members are also mainly professionals, and generally don't take on jobs like killing people.

However, to be on the safe side, Murphy still brought a group of knights with him, and Varian also called a few guards.

The group left the palace and soon arrived at the door of a majestic building near the port.

At first glance, this building looked no different from the surrounding classical buildings, but after a little observation, Murphy discovered some clues.

Excluding the architectural decoration style, it is somewhat similar to a modern office building.

He went up and knocked on the door. The door opened, and a guard wrapped in steel plates appeared in front of him.

Imperial Fortress Guard: Extraordinary unit, level 64.

I went and actually used extraordinary soldiers to guard the door. This organization is not weak.

Imperial Fortress Guard: "Several people, please stay outside. Your Highness Varian, please come this way."

After hesitating for a moment, Murphy asked Roland to stay outside with the knights, and several heroes walked in.

A parrot flew over and led the group of people.

While walking, Murphy was surprised to see the layout inside the building. The spacious hall, smooth corridors, and office signs hung on the doors on both sides. The layout was exactly like a modern building.

People come and go, in and out, in all occupations: blacksmiths, cooks, fishermen, merchants, explorers, and lots of parrots.

These parrots are obviously played by players, and they communicate skillfully in common language with the peculiar accent of birds.

Murphy was a little surprised, this group of people might not be simple.

"How did you build this building? Why does it look so..."

"Modernization? Haha, as long as you upgrade your construction skills to LV5, you can DIY your own building. This building was built by the architects of our studio. It is more suitable for us to use, and the price will be cheaper if we only buy land and materials. A lot."

"Here we are, here you go. I still have work to do." The parrot said and flew away.

A man wearing a white robe met the three people. Many people in Tianluo Studio were wearing this kind of white mage robe. This kind of mage robe is closer to a formal dress and does not have attribute bonuses. It can be seen that these people are really I'm not a combat player.

Da Vinci (Grand Architect): Silver level 3 hero, level 70.

Um? There is actually a heroic architect? This was the first time Murphy saw it.

Da Vinci warmly received the three of them, "Welcome, Prince Varian, Prince Alsace, and - hmm? Prince Aidan.

Haha, what a wonderful combination. I have to say, Prince Varian, everyone in our guild is your fan. "

He said and shook hands with Varian warmly.

Varian was used to this kind of enthusiasm, but he was a little anxious. He couldn't see a powerful warrior or mage here, and he really couldn't understand how these people were going to help him.

"We listened to your request, and I have to say that this job is a bit tricky. It is almost impossible to defeat the entire tribe, so..."

Varian was disappointed for a while after hearing this, and he knew that things couldn't be that simple, "I understand, I'm going to—"

"Haha, when I finish, this is almost impossible to do, so - you have to add money."

Um? Varian was in disbelief.

“I mean ‘almost’ impossible, just ‘almost’, but not completely impossible.”

Varian looked suspicious. "So how are you going to help me fight the Horde?"

"Please come this way."

Da Vinci said, leading everyone into a room nearby.

Upon entering the room, Varian was immediately stunned.

In this empty hall, there is an extremely huge sand table, which clearly shows the topography of the entire Azeroth. Every mountain, every castle, and every river is vividly presented in front of you.

Models representing monster forces are also placed in different areas.

Varian was surprised and touched a green dragon floating in the sky, but his hand passed through the green dragon.

"Is this - a magical phantom?"

"Yes, this magic sand table uses the magic phantom technique of the mage. You know the phantom technique? It can create some simple phantoms based on the caster's thinking. This sand table is engraved with one thousand, four hundred and fifty-six magic symbols of the phantom technique. Wen, it took a lot of effort and expensive materials to create this magic sandbox, but it was all worth it, it looks a lot more intuitive now."

Varian said it was not only intuitive, but he knew it like the back of his hand.

He looked at the miniature map of the entire Azeroth, feeling like a god, surveying everything.

Why couldn't the noble generals of Stormwind City think of such a method?

He was a little annoyed, thinking of the simple sandbox in the military situation room. Compared with the magic sandbox in front of him, it was just a child's toy.

He looked towards the direction of the Dark Gate on the sand table, and could see that the tribe's military camps and fortresses had been built around the Dark Gate. Towers stood tall, battle flags rolled, and the Orcs' architectural models were rough and wild. It's very scary.

And the red orcs, symbolizing the tribe, are everywhere.

Varian was suddenly stunned. These little red orcs were not randomly placed. They appeared on the map in groups. Some were in a marching posture, while others were gathered together to build fortresses. Could it be that, Do these villains mark the direction of the orcs' advance?

He recalled what he had heard about the military dynamics of the orcs at the previous meeting, and some of them could actually be found on the map.

But most of them were completely seen for the first time.

Da Vinci nodded, "Yes, what you see is the current offensive situation of the Orcs. As you can see, the Orcs are divided into five groups and have launched a comprehensive attack on Azeroth.

An army attacked the Swamp of Sorrows and wiped out the local troll tribe and green dragon lord.

An army went to attack Stranglethorn Valley, preparing to eliminate the local trolls and establish a logistics base for the tribe. At the same time, they also planned to contact the goblins in Booty Bay to purchase war supplies and arms.

One group attacked Redridge Mountain and is currently fighting the local noble castle.

One group went to the Blackstone Mountains, preparing to conquer the Dark Iron dwarves there, build an arsenal, and build weapons and armor for the entire tribe.

There is also a secret cavalry unit. They pass directly through the Dusk Forest and prepare to attack the Western Wilderness. It is the granary of the Kingdom of Stormwind and has a flat plain, which is very conducive to cavalry operations. Moreover, due to the previous deployment of militiamen, the Western Wilderness lacks troops to defend. Once this happens A cavalry army has arrived and will occupy the western wilderness without any hindrance and seize food production areas for the tribe.

It has to be said that Orgrim's strategic ability is still very good. He knows that the advantage of this war is to fight quickly. The tribe lacks supplies and logistics, but has a military advantage, so he has no intention of slowly advancing the attack on Stormwind City. Instead, the entire army attacked as soon as they came up and occupied all strategic locations.

Once the goals of these five armies are completed, Stormwind City will become an isolated city, and the Horde will also gain a huge strategic advantage. "

Varian stared at the orc armies on the map, feeling fear in his heart. The Kingdom of Stormwind's strategy against the Horde was completely suppressed by the opponent. Before, everyone thought that the Horde would directly attack Stormwind City, so the plan was to mobilize troops from various places. Go to Stormwind City to defend.

In this way, wouldn't it be falling into the hands of the orcs?

He felt it was becoming difficult to breathe.

Suddenly something occurred to me.

"How did you know this information?"

Da Vinci smiled slightly, "This is what our studio is best at, this is what we do."

Mo Fei was also a little surprised. This Tianluo studio was not well-known, but it was really impressive.

Varian's expression suddenly changed: "Since you have known this information for a long time, why didn't you report it to the kingdom immediately? Aren't you people of the alliance? You are watching the orcs wreaking havoc, but you are indifferent. If the orcs' strategy is really achieved, , how many innocent people will die."

As he spoke, Varian became extremely indignant. He could not understand, let alone accept, that these people, all humans, stood by and had no intention of being loyal to the kingdom.

His impassioned speech failed for the first time.

"I'm sorry, we are all workers, just making a living. We have to make money when we work, and we won't do anything without money.

We don't care whether the winner is the Alliance or the Horde. Honors, heroes, and passion have nothing to do with us. As long as they can make money, they are our customers. Otherwise, they have nothing to do with us. "

Da Vinci said calmly, but Varian was furious when he heard it.

"Asshole, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you on charges of treason now?"

Da Vinci didn't care about Varian's threat, and even smiled, "I advise you not to do this. Although you are the prince of Stormwind City, I am not afraid of you. Since I can bring the tribe's intelligence to By showing it to you, we can also show the alliance’s intelligence to the tribe. We don’t intend to be enemies with anyone, but if you prevent us from making money, your kingdom will pay the price.”

Varian held the hilt of the sword, gritted his teeth, and almost couldn't help but take action, but Murphy's hand pressed on his shoulder.

"So as long as we pay you, you can help us defeat the tribe?"

Murphy asked with some disbelief. Although this group of people behaved very professionally, defeating the tribe was still a bit too exaggerated.

Da Vinci shook his head, "It is impossible to completely defeat the orcs. The reason is that in addition to the enemy's too many troops, there is another most important factor. This factor is not convenient for me to reveal, but I think Aidan The prince must understand what I mean."

Varian looked at Murphy, who nodded.

This important factor is of course the official script. If the Storm Kingdom really defeated the Horde alone, then the players would be fooling around.

The system will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, and even without the influence of the system, it is unrealistic. After all, the number of players in World of Warcraft back then was dominated by tribes.

Previously, because the tribal camp was not enabled, the orcs could only play the monster template, so most players could only play the alliance.

But now the tribe has become an optional camp. The adventurer template, soldier template, lord template, hero template, all templates are fully opened, which means that the tribe has become the same main camp as the alliance.

As a result, a large number of players have joined the tribe. As a result, it is impossible to consume the tribe with adventurers. After all, the tribe also has its own adventurers.

Just give them a little time to grow.

Now it is clear that it is a confrontation between the alliance and the tribes, and neither side can be completely eliminated.

"But Prince Varian's goal was not to defeat the Horde. Am I right?"

Not defeating the tribe? Varian was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

That's right, he didn't originally want to defeat the tribe, but wanted to protect his kingdom and people. Defeating the tribe was just a necessary means.

"Then what can you do?"

"It's very simple. To delay time, it is impossible to fight against the tribe alone with the power of the Stormwind Kingdom. The entire alliance must be concentrated. It will take at least two or three months for the alliance to form a coalition and then arrive here to participate in the war. What Prince Lian has to do is to hold off the orcs in these two or three months to prevent the country from being destroyed."

Varian couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, is it simple? This kind of thing is not simple at all.

"First we need to define what a kingdom is."

Leonardo da Vinci said: "It is obviously impossible not to lose any territory and not to die at all, but as long as there are still territories that have not yet fallen, and as long as most of the population is still there, then it is not considered subjugation, right?"

Varian nodded.

"Then I have an idea."
