The expeditionary force led by Turalyon, Alleria and others still had important tasks to complete. In order to avoid implicating them in dragon affairs, Sarlayan did not return to Hellfire Peninsula and Talador Forest, but went all the way to
Fly west toward Frostfire Ridge.
Frostfire Ridge is the hometown of the Frostwolf Clan and is an area with a very extreme climate.
Frostfire Ridge is covered with heavy snow all year round, and the temperature is extremely cold.
However, under the white snow that covers a large area of the mountains, many volcanoes and surging magma are buried. This is why Frostfire Ridge got its name.
Compared to other areas in Draenor, Frostfire Ridge is the area least eroded by evil energy. This is because the Frostwolf clan is very repulsive to evil energy and has never drank the demon blood "given" by Gul'dan.
Of course, another reason is that the environment here is too harsh, and Gul'dan and the Shadow Council believe that Frostfire Ridge is not worth conquering.
In addition to the Frostwolf Clan, there are two other relatively powerful forces in Frostfire Ridge, namely the warlike orc Thunder God Clan, and the Blade Tower Ogres who stick to the Blade Tower Fortress.
As the young and strong main force of each orc clan followed the Horde army to Azeroth, only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the settlements of the Thundergod clan and the Frostwolf clan.
The Blade Tower Fortress was crushed by the Horde army before Gul'dan's expedition began, and the surviving ogres were divided into Cho'gall's Twilight's Hammer clan.
After the local ogres were exterminated, the extremely cold Frostfire Ridge became a rare peaceful place in Draenor.
Sarlayan landed near an active volcano crater in the middle of Frostfire Ridge. The three of them quickly pushed five black dragon eggs into the surging magma. Then they immediately took out their weapons and looked at the distant sky in readiness.
Stellagosa asked uncertainly: "She will really come? How sure are you?"
Sarlayan took a deep breath: "About 50%. Since leaving Gorgrond, I have been able to feel that someone is spying on us, but I can't be sure if it is her."
Valeela escaped into the shadows without saying a word, Stellagosa pursed her thin lips tightly and began to cast spells to build a position, with Sharlayan standing at the front holding the sword tightly.
Sarlayan made a plan in advance and chose the inaccessible Frostfire Ridge premeditatedly.
There will not be any outside interference here, and the black dragons of the Deathwing series will not follow them so quickly. If anyone wants to snatch the dragon eggs, now is the right time and place.
"Coming!"
Sarlayan, who had always activated his eagle eye, captured a huge black dragon flying from the sky.
This black dragon, who was acting alone, was not the same person as Sabellian and his party. Her body was covered with a large number of burning wounds and hideous claw marks, and her size was not much smaller than Deathwing.
"roar!!"
After approaching the defensive position prepared by the three of Sarlayan in advance, the black dragon first let out a threatening roar, and the huge sound blew Sarlayan's long silver hair around.
"You little egg thief! Hand over the dragon egg immediately! I will spare your life!"
Stellagosa had cold sweat on her forehead. Although she had returned to her original form as a young dragon, her physique was so different from that of the black dragon that she was not on the same level at all.
Sarlayan could barely move under the intense pressure of the dragon. He struggled to say to the frightened Stellagosa: "Now is not the time to be in a daze! Come up with the token!"
"oh oh!"
Stellagosa, who was inexperienced in combat, came to her senses and hurriedly took out the scale obtained from Abisian.
"Dear Black Dragon Queen Sinestra, we are not egg thieves. We have no choice but to steal eggs in order to complete the commission of our friends."
"quibble!"
Perhaps due to being tortured by Deathwing for a long time, Sinestra's mental state was somewhat abnormal. The colors of reason and madness flashed alternately in her huge vertical pupils, and her mood was very unstable.
Stellagosa gritted her teeth and activated her scales, causing them to automatically float into the air.
"We are not lying! This scale comes from a descendant of the Black Dragon Royal Clan. He entrusted us to bring back the dragon eggs contaminated by the power of the ancient gods, and seek the help of Dragon Sleep Temple to purify them, so that the Black Dragon Clan has a chance to get back on track!"
"Black Dragon Royal Family?"
Sinestra's eyes briefly showed contemplation, but soon she shook her head in denial.
"Impossible! The only remaining members of the new generation of black dragon royal family are Nefarian and Onyxia. Those two brothers and sisters are both staunch supporters of Deathwing. How could they take the risk and entrust you with such a rebellion?
!”
Stellagosa continued to persuade her earnestly: "It's not Nefarian, nor Onyxia, the name of that black dragon royal is Abyssian!"
"He is a pure-blooded black dragon born from Neltharion's lair ten thousand years ago. Because of the timely treatment of the mortal hero Huon Gaoling, Abyssian has not been corrupted by the power of the ancient gods!"
"Ten thousand years ago? Neltharion's lair?"
These two keywords caused Sinestra's mood to fluctuate violently.
"boom!"
The huge black dragon suddenly folded its wings and fell to the ground, approaching the scales anxiously and sniffing.
"It's true...the power of the earth contained in the scales is very pure. Is there really a Black Dragon Royal Family still alive?!"
The emotional Sinestra transformed into a black-haired high elf. With trembling hands, she embraced Abyssian's scales into her arms. The familiar and mellow power of the earth injected a force into her fragmented heart.
A warm current.
'Huh~ I'm scared to death.'
The ferocious aura Sinestra released earlier made Sharlayan think that the conversation would collapse, but fortunately the final result was good.
[As expected of the Black Dragon Queen, even if she is in a weak state now, not everyone can resist this power. 】
[Sure enough, as we predicted, Sinestra's heart was scarred by Deathwing and her two children, and her mental state was unstable. Sinestra was in urgent need of spiritual comfort. Abyssian's message came at the right time. 】
The battle probably couldn't start anymore, and while feeling regretful, Sarlayan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he really wanted to feel the difference through fighting with an adult dragon, to be fair, if they really fought, it was still a question of whether the three juniors could break through Sinestra's defense. It was basically impossible.
Possibility of winning.
Sinestra's face was covered with an opaque black veil, and her appearance under the veil could not be seen clearly.
However, judging from the scars on her dragon body before, Sinestra's face probably also had scars, and she didn't want anyone to see her embarrassment.
After a while, Sinestra, whose face was filled with tears, regained her composure.
The three of Sarlayan understood this, after all, the Dragon Queen had lived a very hard life before.
As the only female dragon that could barely withstand the demands of Deathwing, Sinestra had been used as an egg-laying tool for a long time, no better than Alexstrasza when she was imprisoned by the orcs.
When Sinestra finally decided to escape, although Nefarian did not report to Deathwing immediately, he did not accept his mother's invitation and escaped with her.
Her son's attitude of sitting on the fence made Sinestra very sad. Her daughter Onyxil never came to visit her from beginning to end, and she didn't know what she was busy with.
In order to avoid Deathwing's pursuit, Sinestra has been hiding. The wounds left by Deathwing on her body have never healed for unknown reasons, causing her to endure tremendous pain.
Under the dual mental and physical torture, Sinestra's mental state became increasingly unstable.
If this continues, sooner or later she will be driven crazy and take the same path that Sharlayan told before the barrage.
When she learned from Stellagosa that she still had children who were not contaminated by mad blood, and was secretly planning to revive the black dragon clan, Sinestra seemed to see a glimmer of light in the boundless darkness.
The mental pressure was finally released.
The Black Dragon Queen finally cried out the grievances she had suppressed for thousands of years, and her mental state gradually became stable.
"Thank you for telling me the news."
Sinestra, whose eyes were still a little red and swollen, still held Abyssian's scales tightly and solemnly thanked the three of them.
"You may not be able to understand my feelings, but... I have really waited too long for this glimmer of hope in this despair, too long."
Taking a deep breath, Sinestra managed to regain her composure.
"Three of you, please tell me the current situation of Abisian and his plan in detail."
"Although I am a very useless mother, I will definitely cooperate with him fully to regain the glory of the Black Dragon clan from the fallen Deathwing!"
