In the Northron Highlands, Deathwing was in a bad mood. The damn orc warlock just wanted to use the Demon Soul to control him!
If those orcs from the Dragonmaw clan weren't still useful, he would have burned them all to ashes.
"The great Black Dragon King, according to the latest information obtained from Zulu Sid, Li De is in the wetland and led a team to kill many people from the Dragonmaw clan yesterday. Their purpose should be to rescue the Red Dragon Queen.
Should we take this opportunity to take back Gul'dan's head from Li De?"
After returning from Grim Batol, Talon Gorefiend reported to Deathwing. However, Deathwing shook his head and rejected his proposal.
"There is no need. The Skull of Gul'dan is no longer with Reed. My intelligence officer told me that the Skull of Gul'dan is now in Dalaran.
Their team is very powerful in combat. Since there is no Skull of Gul'dan, there is no need to conflict with them now.
The Dark Portal will definitely open again, and now we have to deal with the Red Dragon Queen and the Demon Soul. It seems like the Dragonmaw clan doesn’t trust anyone now, right?"
"Yes, they don't welcome me. Zuluhid doesn't trust anyone except himself and the warlock Nekros."
Deathwing grinned silently. If it were not for his own guidance, what qualifications would that stupid warlock Nekros have to be able to use the Demon Soul? Let alone command the Red Dragon Queen!
The Black Dragon King decided to abandon and destroy the Dragonmaw clan that betrayed him, and a new agent, Deathwing, has now been chosen.
"In order to successfully capture the Demon Soul, we might as well cooperate with the alliance and create some trouble for the Dragonmaw Clan."
Inside Grim Batol, after Talon Gorefiend left, Zuluhid, the chief of the Dragonmaw clan, had a sinister look on his face. He was not interested at all in Talon Gorefiend's words about reopening the Dark Portal. He only believed in himself now.
The power, to be precise, the power of the red dragon.
"Hmph, I'm not that stupid. As long as we stick here, we will have more and more dragons, and the Dragonmaw Clan will not go anywhere!"
When he said this, Zuluhid still looked at the warlock Nekros standing next to him and the golden disc of Demon Soul hanging around his neck.
"Nekros, you need to study and understand why the Demon Soul is useless against the black dragon. If the black dragon comes back again, we must come up with a strategy to deal with it.
Talon Bloodfiend came at the wrong time. The death knight is no longer an orc. I suspect that he and the black dragon are in the same group."
After leaving such an order, Zuluhid went back to rest, leaving only the thin and limping warlock.
Not long ago, the Demon Soul's failure almost frightened Nekros to death. It was because of his ability to use this artifact that he rose to the top of the clan. If this artifact malfunctioned, he would immediately change back to his original form.
Poor thing.
Fortunately, they were able to successfully command the red dragon with the Demon Soul. With the large number of red dragons in Grim Batol, they were able to successfully drive back the big black dragon.
"Did you see it? That limping ugly orc is the warlock Nekros. As long as he can be eliminated, no one in the Dragonmaw clan can use the Demon Soul. Then the Red Dragon Queen will naturally get it.
Liberated."
Nekros and the others were talking at the big forge in the center of the city. At this time, in the long corridor leading from the big forge to the ring city, a group of six people were hiding in the shadows. Li De whispered to the others
Speaking of.
"How to kill? He is followed by two giant dragon cavalry and six dragon men. If he cannot kill with one hit, he can move all the dragon cavalry to his side in an instant. At that time, we will be passive."
Fording analyzed the situation in a low voice. After a brief discussion, Li De finally decided to enter the place where the Queen was imprisoned first and find out the situation.
Several people were able to sneak in smoothly because of Shandis Yuyue's stealth spell. As long as they were within a four-meter radius centered on Shandis, everyone would be affected by the spell. In the dimly lit Gray
Inside Mbato, it can be almost perfectly hidden.
The six people were walking cautiously in this small circle with a diameter of four meters. Although several of them were strong people and could keep the same rhythm and move forward in unison, this small circle was still too crowded after all.
Li De felt someone pressing down on him from behind and whispered a few reminders.
"Old Chen, please walk slower, your belly is pushing against me."
"Who is resisting you? There are still two people separated between you and me."
Lao Chen said somewhat innocently. Li De was immediately stunned, but when he turned around, he found that it was Shandis who was wearing a mask and could not see his expression.
"Uh...sorry."
Li De realized what it was and said embarrassedly.
"Don't make any sound, someone is coming."
Shandis's tone was still cold, which made Li De laugh. It seemed that in the eyes of the Immortals, there was no difference between humans and other animals. On the contrary, he was thinking wildly and taking this physical contact too seriously.
After clearing his mind of what was there and what was not, Li De analyzed it again after the patrolling orcs had gone away.
"It is conservatively estimated that there are 3,000 troops, 40 dragons, and 200 dragonmen in the city. The further we go in, the denser the troop deployment becomes. So now we can only wait and wait for the friendly forces to provide us with the conditions to penetrate deeper."
I lurked for two more days at the junction of the Great Forge and the outer city, and finally waited for the opportunity to continue infiltrating.
In the wetland war zone, the enterprising Garin Trollbane led his troops to advance step by step. The adventurers he recruited continued to ambush the Dragonmaw patrol and harass the orc camp.
At the same time, the Wildhammer dwarves also sent a large number of gryphon knights, approaching directly from the Hinterlands across the sea from the air north of the Northron Highlands.
Under pressure from many parties, Zuluhid continued to send troops out, but even so, he still kept at least twenty dragons inside the base camp.
Being so cautious is not because they know someone from the Alliance is infiltrating, but because they are guarding against a more terrifying enemy: Deathwing!
Zuluhid's worries were not wrong, because at the same time as the Alliance's pressure on the Northron Highlands increased sharply, the Black Dragon King once again launched an attack on Grim Batol!
At that time, Li De and others were trying to pass through the big forge and sneak in from the west to the east of the city. The black dragon, wrapped in black smoke and flames, suddenly began to wreak havoc in the city.
The Dragonmaw clan was not slow to respond. Nekros immediately activated the Demon Soul and mobilized all the dragon cavalry in the city.
In order to fight against this strongest black dragon, the dragon cavalry left in Grim Batol are all elites, and three of them are adult dragons who were imprisoned with the queen.
More than a dozen young dragons all have combat prowess that is infinitely close to that of a hero, and the three adult dragons are the best in hero-level combat prowess.
But these twenty giant dragons could barely withstand Deathwing's explosive attack, and it was even obvious that they were about to lose!
"Let's take advantage of this good opportunity and sneak in!"
Although the reason for the fight between the two parties was not clear yet, Li De quickly gave instructions.
No one objected, and followed the established route regardless of the fighting over the city.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that one person was left behind, Luo Ning!
Not only did Luo Ning not follow the command to march to the eastern city, but he took the opposite route with them and set up a magic circle outside Shantis!
Luo Ning, who lost his invisibility effect, suddenly appeared in public.
"Luo Ning! What are you doing?!"
In the invisible circle, Li De growled at Luo Ning.
Luo Ning's expression was a little strange at the moment, and he muttered to himself.
"The black dragon and the orcs are fighting. This might be a good time. After they both lose, we can catch them all in one go!"
This impulsive young man always has some bold plans, but he has never made his own decisions before!
"Oops! He may have been affected by Deathwing's shadow energy! His judgment of the situation has been distorted!"
Among the six, only Luo Ning has not reached the hero level, and he is also the least resistant to the black dragon's extremely aggressive shadow energy.
In fact, not just Luo Ning, many Dragonmaw orcs in the city also showed a certain degree of dementia, and some Dragonmaw orcs even started killing each other!
"Bring Ronin back!"
Li De looked up at Deathwing who was fighting fiercely with the dragon cavalry and cursed secretly. After transforming back into dragon form, this guy no longer concealed his strong shadow energy. For those with weaker strength, this is simply a disaster!
"How come there is a human spy?! I will interrogate him if I catch him!"
The man who was commanding the dragoons to fight against Deathwing also discovered Luo Ning and quickly issued orders.
But soon the warlock noticed that his order was not that effective. Affected by the power of shadow, the soldiers around him showed varying degrees of confusion. Although some orcs also attacked Luo Ning, they were just
Actions driven by the urge to kill.
In the chaos, Li De could only rush out of the invisible circle and try to pull Luo Ning back. However, just as he was about to take action, a hot dragon's breath fell from the sky.
Li De was forced to take several steps back on the spot, and then he saw the Deathwing in the sky above in a fierce battle, and even took the time to squint his eyes and smile at him!
Just now, the black dragon's flames not only drove back Li De, but also burned many Dragonmaw orcs to ashes. Only Luo Ning's body was intact!
Seeing that the black dragon was one against twenty, and still had enough energy to take care of other places, Nekros felt frightened, but at this moment Chief Zuluhid, who had just gone without knowing what he was doing, arrived with his people.
"Recall our dragons and prepare to retreat to the east of the city!"
But Nekros was puzzled by Zuluhid's words.
"Chief, if you withdraw now, we won't be able to stop the Black Dragon's pursuit! And there are spies from the Alliance discovered over there!"
But Zuluhid seemed to turn a deaf ear to these.
"Don't worry about anything! Follow my orders and retreat!"
At this moment, Nekros really wanted to disobey. His power and status all came from the Demon Soul. Without this stupid chief, he could still control the Dragonmaw clan!
It was just the long-term humility that made Necros only think about these things, and he finally withdrew the Dragoons.
However, the moment the team retreated, the entire city of Grim Batol began to shake. From the top of the cave city, rocks fell like raindrops!
This falling boulder actually intercepted Deathwing who was planning to pursue it!
Zuluhid, this crazy guy, knew that he was no match for the Black Dragon King the moment the Dragon Knight fought against Deathwing.
He decided to take a desperate risk and detonate the city's mainstay: the Great Forge!
As long as they pay attention to where the explosives are placed, they can perfectly split Grim Batol City into two! The boulder can help them block Deathwing for a while, and they can also take this opportunity to think of an escape route.
"Luo Ning!!!"
In the invisible circle, Vereesa screamed in despair. Just now she saw Luo Ning being hit by falling rocks! Even if she could have saved her life, what was even more terrifying was that Luo Ning was separated from death.
That side of the wing!
"Captain, what should we do?!"
Taking advantage of the chaos just now, Li De returned to the invisible circle after killing several Dragonmaw orcs. Shandris looked at Vereesa who had lost her soul and asked Li De.
"The Dragonmaw Clan has just discovered that we have infiltrated it, but we did not investigate further because we were anxious to retreat. A secondary collapse is very likely to occur here. Let's move to a safe place first and then discuss it."
"I'm going to save Luo Ning!"
Just after Li De made his decision, Vereesa said loudly.
"No! Don't forget what we are here to do! If the mission fails, do you want Luo Ning to die in peace?!"
Li De scolded him unceremoniously and angrily. Veresa was startled at that moment, and then her eyes began to get wet.
"When I went to rescue Luo Ning, the black dragon behaved very strangely. I had a hunch that Luo Ning would not die so easily. Let's keep going. After rescuing the Red Dragon Queen, we will find a way to save Luo Ning."
