Chapter 52 Tess' Secret Mission
The three of them angrily scolded Med'an for being unloyal, completely forgetting that they had not brought Med'an with them when they were enjoying Frost Nova.
Tess observed the magic fan and asked, "How is such a magical thing made?"
Med'an replied: "It is said that Gul'dan invented it."
Jin Di showed a look of disdain when he heard this and said: "It's this weirdo who writes danbi stories again!"
Tess looked at Jindy inexplicably, not understanding what this gay joke meant at all.
After they went to bed separately, Tailan suddenly got up carefully and went to the door to listen to what was going on outside.
"What's wrong? Is there an enemy?" Med'an was shocked, "Could it be the Syndicate?"
"Don't think blindly. The power of the Syndicate can only develop in Lordaeron and cannot extend to the continent of Khaz Modan at all." Tyran explained: "It's Tess. She said before that she would come to Ironforge to do business. In my opinion,
If she doesn’t explain her understanding clearly, there must be something wrong with her.”
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Follow her! Shhh-" Tailan listened, and there was indeed a slight sound of the door opening and closing coming from next door.
Tyran knew very well that Tess was an expert in stealth and tracking, so he did not dare to be careless at all, and followed her quietly. Madean also wanted to follow, but he signaled to stay.
Tailan followed Tess far away, leaving the bustling business district, passing through the secret area where nobles like to stay, and arriving at the more desolate slum area. There are only desolate caves that have not been completely excavated, and there are only a few buildings.
Tyran saw Tess walking into an inconspicuous hut. After he looked around to make sure there were no sentries, he quietly approached the door.
A rough voice came from the door: "Hmph, is King Jean sincere in cooperating? Why did he only send you here?"
Tess had a very tough attitude and asked: "What? Mr. Colin thinks that I, the princess, cannot represent Gilneas?"
Tailan carefully opened a crack in the door, looked out, and saw a dark-skinned dwarf with a red beard and laughed: "Haha, Princess, I'm exaggerating. I, Colin Liquor, am a rough man and I don't know."
Your dignity is great. I am just afraid that the shortage of manpower will spoil the big thing."
"Then, tell me your detailed plan." Tess said confidently: "I will take care of all the work related to detection and kidnapping."
"Princess, please see, this is the floor plan of the palace that we have." The dwarf named Colin said: "Although it is not all, it is similar."
Tailan was shocked when he heard it. Map of the royal palace? What on earth is Colin planning? Is he trying to overthrow the rule of King Magni? He looked at Colin's dark complexion again, and a thought flashed through Tailan's mind like lightning.
In my mind, everything suddenly made sense!
This Colin Stout is a Dark Iron Dwarf!
Tyran also has some general knowledge of the history of the dwarves. When Anvilmar, the King of the Mountains, was alive more than two hundred years ago, the three dwarf clans could still coexist peacefully. However, after his death, a civil war broke out among the three clans, and the Bronzebeard clan finally won.
After ruling Ironforge, the Wildhammer clan went north and the Dark Iron clan went south to establish their respective strongholds.
Now that the tribe has conquered the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans respectively, only the Dark Iron dwarves are accustomed to living in the dark and deep underground, and even built a huge city under Blackstone Mountain - Shadowforge City. For the orcs,
Shadowforge City is a city with no residential value, so it was not conquered by force. Instead, the Dark Iron Clan maintained a semblance of peace.
But now they are taking action! The target is not the tribes that threaten all the tribes on the continent, but their cousins, the Bronzebeard clan? What is going on?
While Tailan was thinking, Tess in the hut had already made a decision: "Now that the information is relatively clear, we might as well start taking action today!"
Colin seemed to be satisfied with this conclusion and smiled flatteringly: "My princess is so brave and fearless. It is a blessing to Gilneas. Please control the target and send it here. I wish you good military luck."
"Humph." Tess snorted coldly as if to express her dissatisfaction, then left the hut and walked over the eaves and walls straight to the palace next to the big forge in the center of the city.
Tailan was good at swordsmanship, but not good at movement, and it was very hard to chase her. When he reached the central area, he saw Tess turning left and right, and then disappeared from his sight.
Oops, I lost you! This was Tailan's first time to Ironforge, and he was not familiar with the terrain here. He couldn't start with the existing information. But he was lucky. He blindly chased for a few steps and heard something coming from ahead. Hearing the sound of swords clashing, he hurriedly followed the sound and chased after him.
It turned out that Tess was running too fast and her body was exposed after all. She was intercepted on the spot by two dwarf guards, who immediately handed over their hands under interrogation. As soon as Tailan arrived, Tess shouted without looking back: "On the left is George 1, and on the right is George 2!"
Tailan couldn't help but grin when she heard this, her expression was complex, with a hint of bitterness but also a bit of warmth. This "George" was the code they had set when they were teenagers, and Tess said this code to ask Tailan to step forward to help.
"It seems that you already knew that I was following you." Tailan drew his sword and joined the battle group.
The two dwarf guards were tightly wrapped in iron armor. They were not disadvantaged by their race's natural divine power in terms of speed. But their armor could withstand Tess's dagger, so how could it block Tyran's sword? The long sword filled with fighting spirit slammed down, knocking a heavily armored guard back seven or eight steps with one strike.
"This guy is awesome!" Seeing that he was outmatched, the guard hurriedly took out a whistle and put it into his mouth to blow. But Tess had quick eyes and quick hands and threw a throwing knife, knocking the whistle away.
The dwarf warrior was also tough. Seeing Tess throwing throwing knives, he actually threw his own double-edged battle ax weighing sixty or seventy kilograms! The battle ax was powerful and heavy, whistling and spinning towards Tailan.
How could Tailan be afraid of this kind of move? He saw the oncoming move, and just stretched out the tip of the sword to hold it steady, just in time to point the tip of the sword at the center of gravity of the axe's rotation. The center of gravity of the battle ax was changed, and it reversed its direction. Swirled towards another dwarf guard.
Tailan has extremely rich fighting experience. This is not about brute force, but the subtle method of using force to fight. When the dwarf warrior saw the tomahawk spinning and flying, he hurriedly used his strength to block it. There was only a loud noise when he blocked it, which shocked him My hands were numb and I could hardly stand.
This numbness was naturally full of flaws. Tess had already ambushed behind him and slammed the dagger handle into the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.
At the same time, Tailan also knocked out another dwarf who was unarmed with his sword scabbard.
"George No. 1 solves it!"
"George 2 solves it!"
The two said in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled. Tailan looked at Tess's clear and gentle eyes, as if she had returned to the green and beautiful time of her youth.
It was Tess who broke the silence first: "I know you will come to help me, let's complete this task together."
"What mission? Kidnapping a member of the royal family?"
Chapter completed!
