Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 624 177. The collapse of ambition

   In the middle of the night, the smelly pirate lying dead in the forest was woken up by the cold.

   He got up naked from the bonfire that had been extinguished. His first reaction was to grab his luggage and equipment. After tapping it, he found that all the important items were there, which made the pirate relieved.

   He was really overshadowed by Maiev's robbery, for fear that this time he would be robbed of nothing.

   Then he couldn't even cry.

   "The water chain of the Nether Sea and the stinky woman who were taken away with the Azzinoth fragment!"

  Black put on the robe of the Corruptor, and threw a brimstone flame to rekindle the bonfire emitting smoke in front of him. In the throbbing flames, he said bitterly:

   "Huh? This time she only took two things? Is this 'progress'?"

   "No, my little master, she took another thing with her."

  Xalatas whispered in Black's ear:

   "Your little trash 'inner demon' was swept away by her, Kathanatiel is really miserable, and left in the hands of such a guy, it has no chance of escaping back to the Twisting Void.

   But it doesn't matter, the false and weak demon is dead, and my warm and dignified real demon is with you. "

   "That's nothing, just a little less trouble."

  Black picked up the moon blade, rubbed it on his fingertips slightly, and said sarcastically:

   "Casanatiel is posing, pretending to be stupid, conspiring to rebel, it thinks it can hide from me, that **** dares to bargain with me, it's a shame!

   Now that he is on the line with Mal'Ganis, the 'loyal servant' of Emperor Denathius, its existence is dispensable.

   is the Dread Lord.

   Grabbing a handful in the Twisting Void, not worse than one.

   When I’m free, I’ll draw a better SSR from the ‘Burning Legion Limited Card Pool’.

  Speaking of which, what happened after I fell into a coma? Why did that stinky woman leave me here alone? Isn't she going to take me? "

   "Of course because your loyal servants attacked her subordinates."

   Xalatas said respectfully:

   "I flew across the coast with the black dragons, and happened to find that a prison officer was escorting a group of 'prisoners' to the beach, and among those prisoners were two of my 'compatriots'.

   So angry black dragons attacked her.

   Although Ms. Nasa is powerful, she cannot resist a group of manic black dragons at the same time. In order to ensure that the prisoners are not released, she can only ask for support.

   From this point of view, Maiev Shadowsong is really a qualified leader.

   She cares about her subordinates, and your ruthlessness is just two extremes. "

"well done."

  Blake was skeptical though.

   But what Xalatas said is difficult to refute whether it is logical or factual. He only needs to go to the place Miss Void said to see the truth.

   With Xalatas' cunning, if he really wanted to lie to him, he would never use such a clumsy lie.

   So it probably is.

   "You really can't do it without a woman by your side. Look at this time, little master, you need to strengthen your defense. Why don't I bring the black dragons to join you?"

   Xalatas also suggested:

"Anyway, after they witnessed the failure and escape of Deathwing, they are now in chaos, and the dragons have no leader. Without Nefarian not appearing, I, who successfully escaped with them, can easily seize the leadership of the Black Dragon Army. .

   I can 'convince' them to cooperate with your fleet and become a vital air force for the undead fleet. "

"Forget it, pirates are already hated enough, I don't want to provoke the anger of the Blue Dragon Legion again, besides, Xiao Xingxing will definitely not agree, they are now 'the savior of Azeroth', a big man .

   As we all know, just one sentence from a big man is enough to kill a pirate like me. "

  Black waved his hand and said:

  "I'm afraid it's still a little difficult for you to seize the leadership of the Black Dragonflight. In addition to Nefarian, Lady Sinestra, the Dragon Queen of Deathwing, is still in Grim Batol.

   She's the No. 2 figure in the Black Dragonflight. Both you and Nefarian have to step aside.

   Next, you go to her, gain her trust, and then act in secret. When necessary, I will contact you. In addition, after the past, remember to send me a few dragon servant goblins.

   I want the kind of goblin craftsman who has mastered the techniques of smelting Elementium Steel and purifying Elementium Gems. "

   "Yes, my master."

  Xalatas accepted the task meekly. Before she shifted her consciousness to Onyxia, she asked again:

   "Little master, are you going back to sea next?"

   "In a few days."

  Black stood up in front of the flames and pushed the hood of his Corruptor's vestment.

   was defeated again by Maiev, but this time he was surprisingly calm.

   He looked at the flames beating in front of him and said:

   "I'm over there in Hillsbrad Hills, and I have a few things to do. You can do your own thing and leave me alone."

—

  In the Hillsbrad Hills, it was almost dawn at night, where a large number of orc prisoners were being held, and several shelters were also monitored.

   The general Blackmoor who rules here will be wearing full armor, carrying a general's great sword, and angrily walk up to the castle walls.

   followed behind him a large number of elite soldiers of the Kingdom of Stromgard.

   In this summer night, the moonlight is extraordinarily bright tonight, almost without torches and magic lighting, you can clearly see everything that is happening inside the huge castle.

   Orcs!

   A group of orcs from nowhere are attacking here.

   They came silently and used very "advanced" airborne tactics.

  The red dragons rented from the Dragonmaw clan crossed the castle at a low altitude, and a large group of green skins jumped down from the top. Almost instantly, the entire castle was in chaos.

   If it's just a simple green skin, it's not terrible.

   In the current situation where the greenskins generally suffer from demon blood, even if a group of orcs still retain their fighting consciousness, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be as exaggerated as in the orc war.

   But the problem is, it wasn't just the Blackrock Orcs under the command of Chief Reid who attacked the castle tonight, but also an incomparably powerful Kor'kron Guard.

   is commanded by the legendary warrior brothers Saurfang.

   Well, just by hearing the name of their leader, you know that Dunhold Castle is likely to be doomed tonight.

   "Why hasn't there been support from the military camp yet?"

   General Blackmoore, who was standing above the castle observing the enemy, saw the orcs raging below, and he immediately became angry. He turned back and shouted to the colonel behind him, who shook his body and said with a pale face:

   "General, the barracks has been breached.

  According to the fleeing soldiers, they were attacked by Blackrock orcs, an orc warlord who called himself the 'Warchief' commanded them, and the warlocks summoned demons. "

   "There are a thousand people there!"

   Blackmore yelled:

   "The orcs can attack in less than ten minutes, even if it is a thousand pigs."

   "There was a legendary hunter among those orcs who summoned bears and porcupines to rampage and our ammo depot was destroyed in minutes.

   He also has a **** eagle, and our griffon rider is no match for that beast.

General   , it's not that the soldiers didn't resist, we couldn't fight against such an orc, he wasn't affected by the demon blood at all. "

   The bald old colonel explained to Blackmoore in a low voice:

   "The attack of the orcs tonight must be well-prepared, General, we cannot leave the castle to fight them. Our castle is strong and the firepower is strong, and they are too few to rush up!

  We just need to stick here and warn Tarren Mill that General Gavinrad will soon lead the army to come to support, and then these orcs will not be able to escape! "

"I know!"

   The battle-hardened General Blackmoore certainly knew that the best strategy at the moment was to defend and wait for support.

   But for some reason, his heart was beating so fast tonight that he even felt like he was about to jump out of his chest. He stood on the edge of the castle wall, leaning on his sword, and touched his chest through the general's armor.

   That heartbeat was really the same as a war drum, which made the general feel a panic for no reason.

   He looked left and right, and in the pitch-black night sky, a few behemoths were emerging from the clouds and flying towards this side.

   is a dragon!

   is a red dragon controlled by the Dragonmaw clan.

   "Defense! Fire!"

The general let out a loud roar, and the gunners' emergency targeting and firing of several anti-aircraft forts on the castle in the rear, in conjunction with the blast of the dwarf mortars, spewed a scorching barrage into the air, knocking out the red youngsters who were trying to sneak attack. The dragon drove away.

   This kind of firepower cannot deal with adult dragons, but it is very effective against young dragons.

  Flexible anti-aircraft firepower, and then cooperate with the Griffin Knight to attack. This is the way the dwarves fought the dragonmaw orcs in the wetlands in the year after the war.

   And the adult dragons in the hands of the Dragonmaw clan are also very limited, and it is impossible for them to use their family assets to support their so-called "compatriots".

   "You guys, go to the underground prison in the castle and take Thrall into my office for protection."

   Blackmore saw a few young dragons being repelled by the artillery barrage. He only dared to parade at a high altitude from a distance, and did not dare to come down to attack again. He felt a little relieved, and called his loyal guard over and whispered a few words to him.

  The tall guard nodded and walked quickly towards the bottom of the castle with a group of generals and guards.

  The outer perimeter of Dunholde Castle has been chaotically attacked by orcs.

  The Blackrock Orcs have opened the military warehouse and are frantically carrying things out. These guys have "trained their hands" in Lordaeron before, and now they are also good at looting.

   And Chief Red is sitting between the army camp and the castle. He will be in pain all over his body. He was besieged by the dragons under the wing of death before. If it wasn't for the evil eye to save him, he would have died by now.

   The happiness of the rest of his life made Reid gulp down his wine.

   But his mind was not on the battle at all, he would be thinking of something else. He disclosed the captain's information to Deathwing, will this be regarded as a betrayal by the captain?

  Reid was worried about gains and losses, and wished he would go to Blake to explain it now.

   This will naturally not be in the mood to dominate the battle.

However, the fact tonight is that Red and the others are making such a big fuss here, but they are just covering the Saurfang brothers to fight. General Blackmore thought that the goal of the orcs was to release the greenskin prisoners in the shelter, but he was too big. Wrong!

  Reid had no idea of ​​"liberating" his countrymen at all.

   The main reason is that his "orthodox tribe" on the Black Rock Mountain side is too poor, and now so many people are enough to feed, and if there are more big-bellied men who can't fight, Red, the big chief, can't sit still.

   From this point of view, our Great Chief is really self-aware.

   He knew that he wasn't ready to be an orc hero at all, so he didn't try to do it.

"boom"

   Just as Red was thinking about important matters, while the Blackrock Orcs under his command were busy looting supplies, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the inner castle where General Blackmoore was located.

   It was as if someone had detonated gunpowder under the castle, and the violent explosion shook the entire castle.

  Fortunately, the general himself supervised the construction of the castle, which made it very stable. The main body of the castle withstood the explosion, but the internal defense force was severely damaged.

   "Damn! How did they sneak in!"

  General Blackmoore saw some orcs rushing out of the castle after the explosion. He roared angrily, picked up the heavy sword, and rushed towards the explosion with the guards.

The general    will feel restless and restless in his heart.

  Because the direction of the explosion was very close to the underground of the castle, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when he stepped on the broken bricks and collapsed walls and rushed to the explosion position, General Blackmore saw a tall old orc through the rising smoke and fire, and was bringing his carefully cultivated "King of Orcs" Thrall comes out of the underground prison.

   And the elite guards he sent to take Thrall away were disarmed, **** and thrown aside, and their armor was stripped by the orcs.

   Another legendary orc warrior, Varok Saurfang, armed with a dark iron battle axe, moved his neck and strode toward Blackmoore and his guards.

   The orc warrior in his prime stared at General Blackmoore, and said in a strangely accented human language:

   "Don't look at us with that hateful look, we're not what we used to be, just here to pick up our little compatriots tonight. Edras Blackmoore.

  We will take you away tonight too.

   An 'old friend' of yours let us bring you a sentence, he said that your ignorance of current affairs annoyed him.

But it doesn't matter, the generous he has forgiven you, and he has also left his relationship and found you a 'new job' elsewhere. He wants you to use tonight's failure to submit your resignation to the Kingdom of Stromgard .

  Don't worry, Your Excellency General, we have arranged everything, just waiting for you to sign the 'Resignation Letter'. "
