Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 121 31. Beating, smashing and robbing

"boom"

  Under the dark night of the desert, the night was dark and windy, Reid Hei, who was carrying a sword, rubbed his hands, stepped forward, and kicked in the room next to the Akunda Temple.

  The wooden door was kicked open by the orc chieftain, and as the moonlight passed, a few rays of shining light were reflected in the dark room.

   "All move out!"

   Black Hand laughed, waved his finger forward, and shouted to the beastmen behind him.

   The greenskins cheered.

   Under the terrified gazes of the temple priests nearby, they rushed into the warehouse where supplies were stored and began to loot. The same thing happened in other places around the temple.

The    orcs were divided into small groups, led by the terrified Akunda priests, to the places where they kept food, water and other supplies.

  Food and water, pirates definitely don't want it.

   They want something more valuable.

   For example, the pirate captain Black is now commanding his pirates to carry out a round of all-round precise "beating, smashing and looting" activities on the Akunda Temple.

   "Those gems! The gold leaf on the walls, and the gold utensils, take them away! Take them all, it is useless for the merciful Akunda to ask for those things, but they are useful to us.

   Action Tap! asshole.

   That delicate gold vessel is worthless if it breaks.

Art! understand?

  The artistic value of that thing is far more valuable than its own gold content. "

  The pirate stood on the square of the Akunda Temple, akimbo, waving his left hand constantly. Under his command, Maim and a group of orcs were scavenging all the valuable things in the Akunda Temple.

   Having said that, these trolls are really rich.

   In the barren and barren place of the Great Desert of Wharton, they could find so many gem-encrusted jars and artworks, and they were all sent to Akunda Temple as sacrifices in the name of faith.

   But think about it carefully, the Wharton Desert was not always a desert.

  Before it was transformed into a desert by the mighty power of creation, there were civilizations here, not only the civilization of trolls, but also the civilization of those snake people hiding in the northern desert.

The   fox people are a civilization that was born after Wharton became a desert.

   They just know that there are many ancient ruins and ancient secrets under the desert, but they are not very clear about the source of those secrets.

   But Black knew.

   In fact, if it wasn't for the tight schedule for this trip to Wharton, he would have been in the mood to stay here for a few months to do "archaeological" work.

   There are some very "interesting" things buried in the ground of this desert. If you can get them, it will definitely be of great benefit to Blake's future pirate career.

   "Yudora, you sent someone to contact the nearby Foxmen tribe, and let your clansmen rush over as quickly as possible to take over the Akunda Temple.

   Bring some more caravans by the way. "

  The pirates scolded and directed the clumsy orcs to plunder, and then concentrated their energy, and said something to the fox-man leader who was setting up a cauldron and was making a potion.

   The recipe for this potion was given to them by Merry Winterwind.

   It is said that it can make those Akundas who have hallucinations recall the past, but while the effect is strong, the taste is a bit bad, which makes the foxes who have a keen sense of smell complain miserably.

   "But this is the temple of trolls."

   Eudora was a little hesitant. The little fox man swung his big tail and said to Black:

   "Since the generation of my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, this place has always been controlled by trolls, and we foxmen occasionally stop here, but we don't believe in Akunda.

   This is somewhat unreasonable.

   It's better to go to the Jibul Temple on the other side of the desert, where there are real Loa priests, all believers of Jibul, who is a tiger, and it may be better to invite them to take over the temple. "

   "As you wish, but I need more caravans."

  Black looked at Eudora, shook his head, and sighed:

   "And your clan also needs a solid base. You looked so smart before, why are you so stupid now? Even an outsider like me knows that trolls are not the only ones who believe in Loa.

   Those mysterious ancestor turtles would go to the jungle frontier of Nazmir every few years to make pilgrimages to their Loa god, Toga the sea turtle.

   It is precisely because the Zandalar trolls also believe in toga that they allow the proto-turtles to have a small camp in Zuldazar.

  You fox people have no faith, right? Why not get yourself one?

  I think Akunda is quite suitable. When you become priests of Akunda, you will migrate to the vicinity of Akunda Temple and be sheltered by a powerful Loa.

Isn't    better than you wandering around in the desert? "

   "It's not that we fox people have no faith!"

   Eudora corrected:

   "It's just that we don't know who we believe in.

   The method you mentioned is not without our ancestors trying it, but God Loa does not accept our belief. They say that the origin of our fox people is sacred, and no Loa is qualified to accept our offerings.

   But you're right, we do need a home base. "

  The fox man leader flexibly jumped on the stone pillar next to him, and with a shrewd gaze, glanced at the buildings around the Akunda Temple, she said softly:

   "Although this canyon is a little old, it is not far from the seaside, there are water sources nearby, and it is not far from the Fenghua Oasis. If it is properly repaired, it can live at least 10,000 people!

   is that there are ruins of Atu Aman nearby, where many exiles gather, and they have their own desert gang.”

   "Relax, they won't be a problem soon."

  The pirate looked at the desert exile trolls who were driven by the orcs to stay in the clearing, and he said softly:

   "I'm going to fight a battle in Zemland Harbor, I need a lot of warriors, a lot of cannon fodder, let your clansmen come, and let them bring enough caravans.

  I will leave them enough food and water, and a clean temple.

   From now on, the place of Akunda Temple will be yours. "

"it is good!"

   Eudora jumped off the stone pillar and blew a whistle, and a few hyena mounts flew towards this side. She gave a few words to her shrewd clansmen.

   They jumped on the coyote, brought water, and rushed into the desert in the dark to contact the nearby fox tribe.

   Although these fox people are small and timid in their characters, they are very fond of pirates because of the courage they show when it comes to matters of race.

   "I'm taking the caravan back!"

   Eudora turned back to Black and said:

   "I'm going to pick up all the clansmen I left at the temple before, don't worry, I'll try my best to be back by noon tomorrow, so I won't miss the time to send you to Zemland Port.

  Sorry, I lied to you, Blake. "

   The fox leader said with a touch of guilt:

   "There is actually a faster way to Zemland Port.

  We start from Akunda Temple, do not take the rugged coastline, go northwest first, pass through the ruins of Atu Aman, and go to Fenghua Oasis to rest for a night.

   Then from the oasis all the way to the southwest.

   Although this road has to go through the desert, it is very flat, so it only takes four days to reach the port of Zemran. "

   "You lied to me, you lied to a brutal pirate, Eudora, you little foxman is so courageous!"

  Blake stroked the hilt of the dagger at his waist, and he said quietly:

   "How shall I punish you?

   Ah, how about you join my pirate group too? I made you my quartermaster, a prestigious position on a pirate ship. "

"OK then."

   Eudora glanced around, she lowered her head and said:

   "But I'm the only one, I have to make sure there is no danger before I can take my people on your boat. And I must see your boat first!"

   "Go go, sly bastard."

  The pirate waved his hand and lost interest in speaking.

   The fox man leader laughed treacherously, then turned his head and went to brew the unpleasant potion again.

   After a few minutes, the sneaky orc warlock Evil Eye slipped out of the temple. He quickly ran to the captain's side, unable to bear his excitement, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and asked in a hurried tone:

   "Captain, you said just now that the divine power of these trolls, Loa, can really be taken away?"

"sure."

  Blake glanced at the temple surrounded by thunder and lightning, narrowed his eyes, and said:

   "Actually, as far as I know, being betrayed and murdered by one's own priests and stealing divine power is almost the 'inherited craftsmanship' of the Loa priests.

  Since the trolls established a belief system with Loa, those Loa who died in the material world, nine out of ten, died under the backstab of their own people.

  Loa is just a demigod evolved from the source of life.

   though each one is beyond death.

   But since there are entities in the material world, it means that their divine power can of course be taken away, I know what you are thinking, Evil Eye.

   But unfortunately, there are things I don't know.

  For example, how to capture the divine power of a Loa **** is a taboo secret in the troll civilization, and it is only circulated among those Loa priests who have evil thoughts.

   I don't know. "

   A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the orc warlock.

   But soon, his one eye turned to look at the noble Akunda, who was being chained to the ground not far away, with a disheartened face, holding his head and trembling.

   Warlock's eyes lit up again.

   He said to his captain in the gloomy tone characteristic of a warlock:

   "This guy dares to poison his own God Loa, he must know the way to gain power! Captain, you see this big lizard is already weakened like this, why don't we.

  It's coming anyway, right? "

   "This time, forget it."

   There was a flicker of thought in Blake's eyes, but he quickly gave up on this plan.

   He said to the power-thirsty sorcerer:

   "Although I don't know how to take Loa's divine power, but I know at least one thing. If you want to take over divine power, you have to put Loa into the weakest state.

   That guy poisoned Akunda, but only for a year.

   He has no other helpers, so he can only do it secretly by himself.

   In a year, he was dealing with a powerful Loa like Akunda. He was far from reaching the point where Akunda's divine power could be extracted. According to his poisoning speed, it would take at least ten years.

   It would take decades to drive this **** of storms into true weakness.

   In other words, we came early.

   But it's okay, Evil Eye. "

The captain    patted Evil Eye on the shoulder and said softly:

   "This world is big, Evil Eye. Not only the Zandalar Empire, this island has Loa, the Eastern Continent, Kalimdor, the Northrend, and the Empire in the Mists.

   There are loa in too many places, and not all of them are as powerful and tough as Akunda.

  We always have a chance. If conditions permit, you may be able to experience the feeling of being a Loa in the future, provided you can live under my command until that time.

   Now, focus on what’s going on right now. "

  Black took two empty magic bags from his waist and handed them to Evil Eye, he said:

   "Go, give you two hours, fill up these two bags with the bright little ones, I just want the most valuable, most valuable, and most portable ones.

  The rest is yours. "
