return to edgar

() Dante and Claydia had a serious disagreement about where the orcs would choose to dig.

The dwarves think that it is the Blade Mountain, which is the closest to Naxx, where food can be traded, and there is a dwarf settlement underground.Although the orcs used the big fissure to circumvent Longyan Castle to raid the inland decades ago, they are not allied with the demons. The poisonous gas and flames ejected from the fissure have forced the orc tribes living nearby to retreat deeper into the hinterland.

Claudia believes that the rock structure of Blade Mountain is too fragile and prone to collapse.The large fissures are not only closer in distance, but also the geology is more suitable for digging tunnels.Moreover, Master Hohenheim's so-called neutral position is only aimed at politics and military affairs, and they have always stood firmly on the human side on the issue of race survival.

Without arguing, they had no choice but to seek the opinions of a third party.

Alwin supports Claudia, even with the protection of the God of Shadows, frequent collapses will definitely arouse the awareness of Longyan Fortress.

Link agrees with no one, and makes his point—maybe the night elves have a hand in this, too.Longyan Fortress is adjacent to Elysion. As the largest night elf city in the southwest, no matter which direction the orcs dig from, they will be alarmed.That's why the gold mine in Hegu Town stopped mining because of this. Link didn't believe that the night elves didn't know about it.Thinking of gold mines, he thought of a powerful new proof.Why do night elves who live deep underground pay so much attention to a mine that has been abandoned for many years?Risking the possibility of falling out with the undead, just to avenge a few civilians who were killed?At the time, I thought it was a bit weird, but now that I think about it, it doesn't fit the behavior style of the chaotic camp at all.

In addition to working with the night elves to kill the necromancer, Link also revealed that he had seen a demon in the Great Rift a few months ago.

"A lord-level demon!" Dante's voice changed, and even the demons under the abyss were involved. Is this really a sign of a camp war...

"Yes, my mentor is the abyss lord closest to the surface." Link remembers this very clearly. The coercion alone would have made him unable to move, if it wasn't for the barriers of Iris and the Pillar of the Earth , probably hung up at that time.

"A great demon at the lord level is at least equivalent to a legendary rank, and will not appear near the crack for no reason." After the shock, there was more doubt.Clydia thinks there must be some kind of ulterior purpose hidden behind this.

Yeah, why did that female demon do that?The lord's appearance will only make the Druid of the Pillar of the Earth pay more attention to the Great Rift, and will instead reveal her purpose... Maybe she did it on purpose.right!It must be so!If Longyan Castle falls, the balance that has been maintained for nearly a thousand years will be completely broken, and the Son of Nature will inevitably intervene.The devil is afraid that the orcs digging the tunnel will be exposed, so they will deliberately show up to attract the attention of the druids and the children of nature patrolling the border. How could I be so coincidental.

"From the perspective of faction wars, the night elves may indeed be involved. After all, humans have occupied the fertile inland for too long." Claudia agrees with Link's point of view. She thinks that the most likely digging point is not the Great Rift. It is an abandoned mine outside Hegu Town, and it is closer to Longyan Fortress than Nax and the Great Rift in terms of distance.In the past six months, the number of orcs' detours going deep into the interior has been increasing, and they may have already opened up underground tunnels.

"Longyan Castle has just transferred two regiments to support the north. It's a good time to move. We have to hurry up and discuss countermeasures." Erwin was the lowest among the four, and he rarely spoke, but he was the most anxious.

"Internal troubles and external troubles..." Dante sighed. Since the day the fortress was built, he has not been able to get rid of this chaotic situation, especially after the death of Belfast, the remaining old emperors and officials are fighting fiercely. The south is threatened by orcs, and the north is oppressed by the Twelve Territories. It has already been torn apart.

"In this way, it is easier to sneak in from my appearance, and let me check the waste mine."

Both Dante and Erwin objected to Claudia's going into danger, not to mention that she still shouldered the post of team leader.

"No, me." Link thought over and over again, and still thought he was more suitable.

"Without night vision, you can't fight underground." Claudia's biggest advantage is her bloodline.

"I am the envoy of Isol, the earth will bless me." Link made up his mind, and he came up with the plan he had just thought up.In the name of the head of the regiment, Claudia ordered him to carry out the task of patrolling the southern front alone. No matter who the insider is hiding in the dark, they will think that he will definitely die during this trip.If the insider sends information to the outside, he can still take the opportunity to find him out.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the soldiers patrolling the battlements found a strange face riding an elevator, and chatted curiously with the person in charge of the control.

"Who is that?"

"The new recruit just recruited the day before yesterday."

"Poor thing, I was dispatched to the southern front on the third day."

"I heard that I offended my boss and was sent to die on purpose."

The sound of conversation spread to the ears of another group of people not far away. They were dressed in completely different standard equipment from the soldiers, with the golden sun wheel holy emblem embroidered on the dark red background.As the most fanatical institution of the Dawn Sect, the Avengers have a worse reputation than the Executioners.

These silent warriors watched the lone scout until he disappeared from view before returning to their temporary shelter in the watchtower.

"Captain, the new ranger has been sent to patrol the southern front."

Hearing the report, the burly man turned around. There was a deep sword mark on the left side of his face, from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. A magical prosthetic eye was installed in the eye socket that kept turning.

"These cowards in Belfast! Knowing that the merchants of Nax and the orcs trade food in private, they backed down again and again for the sake of a short-term peace, and even sent the scouts who captured the collaborators to death." Black sneered, he knew it would be like this the result of.The current commander, Alex, has sat in this position for too long. In order to consolidate his position, he kept eradicating dissidents. Wasn't the leader of the dragon cavalry, Gonzalez, sent to the north to die because of his strength?

"Black, the higher-ups have already formed an alliance with the Natural Alliance." The vice-captain, who had a good personal relationship with the captain, told Black the news that had just come from Aiden.

Turning his gaze to the map hanging on the wall, the Captain of the Vengeance Army narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the battle situation in the north is not good. Otherwise, the top leaders of the sect would not be ashamed to form an alliance with the Natural Alliance. At this time, Longyan Castle in the south will not be in trouble.

"Is that going to continue?"

"of course."

"But we have been investigating for several months, and there is nothing..." Before the adjutant finished speaking, Black motioned him to keep quiet.

The prosthetic eye turned around, and Black grabbed the spear on the weapon rack, and rushed up the stairs in three steps at a time. When he ran to the battlement, the things he sensed could no longer be found.

"What's wrong?" The adjutant and unknown members of the Vengeance Army chased him out.

"Just now, Guangyan sensed something flying over it quickly."

"Kaogo has no flying creatures..." the adjutant was taken aback, this is common sense that everyone living here knows.

"So that's not an ordinary creature." Black's prosthetic eye had returned to normal.

This place is near Horacio, it may be a druid from the Pillar of the Earth, or it may be a monster from the Great Rift.No matter which one it is, it is bad news for Longyan Fort today.

It was Link who flew over Longyan Fort. He headed south until he reached the observation range of Longyan Fort. After confirming that no one was following him, he turned into a peregrine falcon and flew towards Hegu Town.

The mine is the same as it was seen a few months ago, and the boulders used to seal it are scattered all over the place.

The situation is a bit wrong. I remember that when I came last time, only a few boulders were pulled out, but now they have all been moved away.

Unable to sense any life nearby, Link lit a torch and touched it.Compared with the last time, there were several more corpses at the entrance of the cave that had rotted to the point where only skeletons remained. The bones were black, and they obviously died of poison.If it was just speculation before, now he has already determined that the night elves have participated in the conspiracy against Longyan Fort.

At the same time, Link also thought that the undead in the north might also be related to this incident. Frost Han would not come to the rear for no reason to test the barrier of the Pillar of the Earth. The mine is facing the tomb where the necromancer is hiding. This is no accident .Maybe the necromancer sent by Frost Cold to investigate discovered something, clashed with the patrol team stationed here, and killed those night elves for self-protection.Hmm... This can also explain why Artis must cooperate with me, all in order to push the matter of killing the necromancer to the Natural Alliance.He really deserves to be the vanguard of the chaotic camp. Fortunately, I was grateful for his warning last time, and I didn't even know he was raped.

Since special skills such as divine enlightenment and divine knowledge can only be used once a day, Link can only cast an acceleration technique on himself to increase his walking speed.As he went deeper into the ground, the man-made traces gradually decreased. Finally, at the end of a dead end, Link found a natural crack.Just enough to fit an orc, he got in easily, crawled for about 10 minutes, the crack gradually widened, and finally connected to a lava cave deep underground.

Ding--

There was a sound coming from the depths of the natural tunnel.If you listen carefully, you can tell that it is the sound of the iron pick colliding with the rock, accompanied by whips and scolding.

Link followed the sound, it wasn't the scene that God knew, but the situation was similar.A few orcs held weapons and supervised the dwarves who were only a little higher than their knees. The lava cave, which was only a few meters wide, had been dug out to a width of tens of meters. To prevent it from collapsing, a few thick stone pillars were left behind.

The moment Link extinguished the torch, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind him.A cold dagger rested on his neck.

"I thought you were going to move in the mine tunnel."

Link's calm performance was obviously beyond the expectations of those behind him.

"When did you realize that God's Knowledge and God's Enlightenment have already been used up?"

"Night vision." Link turned his head slightly, looking at the figure behind him, "There are not many people who know that I don't have night vision, and Artis happens to be one of them, and the biggest thing he has in common with you is that lineage."

It was none other than Longyan Fort's scout leader, the half-elf Claudia, who held Link up with the dagger.

ps: I was a bit stuck yesterday, and I couldn’t continue writing until I reached 2000 characters. I continued to get stuck today, but fortunately I squeezed it out...
