A few days later, the Bronzebeard brothers successfully entered Feralas.
[Dear Protector Li De:
After about a week, we finally arrived at Feras smoothly. This is really a magical ancient land with complex undulating terrain and towering giant trees everywhere.
I can't wait to start my adventure here!
Of course, as a friend, I also have to give advice. The experience of the second half of the road in Cliff Highland is too bad. The manticores flying here and there are a problem. There is also a bad smell that never goes away starting from the harpy camp and heading west.
...In short, improving the transportation here may cost you a lot of effort.
Your friend, Brian.]
This is a letter sent from the junction of the two places, where Brian and the others are planning to build an explorer camp.
The manticores mentioned in the letter are not only a trouble for the Hanhai Protector, but also a great fortune. Li De has appointed a group of people to study and tame these flying manticores.
As for the bad smell that was also mentioned, it really gave people a headache. Thousands of years ago, no one had ever set foot on the cliffs on the south side of Thousand Needles, and for the harpies and manticores with the ability to fly,
For other birds, this becomes a natural dung field.
Cleaning up these excrements and widening the roads is really a big deal at present. Feras is an ancient plateau, and the cliffs and mountains of Thousand Needles disappear naturally when they enter Feras. That is to say, as long as you go from Feras to Desolation
There is no problem with the roads in the land, and the Hanhai Protectorate will soon be able to introduce the giant kodo beasts.
This was not because Li De was blindly optimistic, but because Bigwitz also gave him great confidence.
After the failure of Gazruvich's plan to attack Shining Heights, Tinkewes soon no longer behaved as courageously as he had initially shown when he was captured.
All the secrets in Kezan's army that Tinkervis knew were honestly revealed, including the "Beast Expeller" invented by Mogul Razdunkdo.
After getting this engineering product, Bigwitz can really be said to be a treasure. As long as they can study and understand the principle of how it drives away beasts, make improvements on this basis, and transform it into a "beast trap", it will be perfect.
not a problem.
"Guardian, this is Smid Serkabuscu, a researcher at our School of Engineering. He knows a lot about beasts. He already has certain ideas about the 'beast trap'. I believe we will soon
Can create the first physical object."
That was in the sixth year of the Dark Portal, when the Governor of Hanhai had just determined his development ideas. Under Li De's instruction, Nogfogg recruited a group of technical talents from Kezan, Smid Sekabuscu
They were the first batch of technicians to come to Hanhai Protectorate.
It's just that this Smid doesn't seem to have anything outstanding in terms of technical level. As one of the first batch of technicians, he has been guarding Hanhai for two years and is still just an ordinary researcher. Even Li De has never heard of him before.
The name needs to be introduced by Bigwitz.
But looking at it now, it can only be said that his talent was not used in the right place before, so that the Hanhai Protector almost buried the talent.
Li De encouraged Smid very seriously, and he also listened to Li De's words very seriously. Two years ago, Smid originally planned to go to Ratchet City to explore, but by chance, he came to the Hanhai Protectorate, and for Li De
Smid still admires this legendary boss.
Although Li De did not make any substantive promises to Smid during this conversation, Smid was still very happy because Bigwitz had already shared all the substantive things with him before coming here.
To make it clear, as long as this project is successful, Smid can become a senior researcher and have his own studio. More importantly, he will be eligible to apply for projects by then.
It seemed that God saw Li De receiving good news one after another, so he then sent him bad news.
After several days of escaping, Gazlowe finally escaped back to Ratchet City. Calgar and Niebuhr attacked from both sides, but in the end they still failed to catch this guy.
When reading the battle report, Li De himself admired Gazlowe a little.
To be honest, before the war with Kezan, the relationship between the Hanhai Protector and Gazlowe had always been good.
This guy is an old friend of Noggenfogg. Compared with other goblins of his kind, he can be said to be a very atypical goblin. He is a little less cunning and a little more steady. He is highly accomplished in engineering and full of adventurous spirit.
In the early days of the development of the Hanhai Protectorate, Gazlowe provided some help here. Later, after establishing a trade partnership with Steamsand, the cooperation with Gazlowe in Ratchet City has also been very good.
joy.
Not to mention that Gazlowe and the Hanhai Protector also conspired to do "bad things" and tried to poach the venture capital company, although the end result ended in failure, and Gazlowe was severely punished by the hot sand.
But it was precisely because of this that Gazlowe's behavior made Li De admire him even more. Gazlowe, who had an old grudge with Hotsand, was able to fight to such an extent for Kezan in this war.
After the failed surprise attack on Shining Highlands, Gazlowe made a mad turn in Dustwallow Swamp. He originally wanted to go back to Ratchet City directly from the Barrens, but the quilboar troops made him realize that Ratchet City was in danger.
He could no longer return to Ratchet via the main road in the Barrens.
During the staff team's deductions, at the moment when he realized that he was at the end of his rope, Gazlowi might very well have surrendered.
But I didn't expect that this guy would be so tenacious. He turned around and led his troops deep into the Dustwallow Marsh, and finally successfully crossed the Dustwallow Marsh and reached the coastline. He then went north along the coastline and returned to Ratchet City, where he continued to direct the street battles in the city.
When things developed to this extent, Li De really raised his already high evaluation of Gazlowe to another level.
So much so that Li De developed a love for talents. Gazlowe, who has extremely high talents in engineering, architecture and military affairs, has a firm willpower, and has no obvious moral stains.
, staying in Kezan’s camp is simply a sign of humiliation. But if you want to conquer such a person, you must defeat him completely.
The above is a series of good news and a piece of bad news.
In addition to these, there is another piece of news that even Li De is not sure about, whether it is good or bad news.
That is, in the Dustwallow Marsh, there are still ogres active. The reason why I say I don't know whether it is good or bad is because this group of ogres is a bit different.
This group of ogres numbered around five hundred. They followed the Gordunni ogres to Dustwallow Swamp, but they did not belong to the Gordunni clan.
Their ingredients are very complex and come from different ogre clans. They are captives harvested by Godunni in the past constant battles. Although they are also ogres, these captives are slaves and spare food. Here they
They are not treated as human beings, but as property of Godunni.
When the Gordunni ogres cooperated with Ratchet City to attack the Vast Sea Protector, they never thought that they would lose, let alone that they would never return to Dustwallow Swamp after losing.
Before the army went off to war, they had no idea of taking this group of "inheritances" with them.
Now that the Gordunni Ogres were defeated and fled in haste, the ogre slaves left in Dustwallow Swamp have also regained their freedom. Under the leadership of the slave leader Mogmulok, they are under the Godunni Ogres.
A new life began in the camp left behind.
They were able to discover them thanks to Gazlowe's escape across Dustwallow Marsh. In order to pursue Gazlowe, Niebuhr and Ashcandi had to follow him deep into Dustwallow Marsh.
Then, dozens of kilometers away from the dust mud camp, the camp of this group of ogres was discovered.
Niebuhr and Ashkandi immediately issued orders to prepare for battle. However, unlike the ogres who always gave people a vicious and cruel impression, the new leader here, Mogmulok, took the initiative to leave the camp to seek peace.
Mogmulok used semi-common language mixed with common language to talk to Niebuhr and others.
After learning that the Gorduni ogres were defeated by them and were determined not to return here again, Mogmulok seemed very happy.
He said that he and the hundreds of ogres living here would no longer be enemies of the Alliance or any other force.
The tribe's invasion of the alliance is inherently unjust and illogical. The orcs, who only cause trouble, destroy their own world without reflection. Even if they occupy another world, they can only continue to destroy it again.
As an ogre with a longer history than the orcs and a more brilliant civilization, Mogmulok made no secret of his contempt for the orcs.
"After coming to this world for so many years, it is obviously unrealistic for us to cross the ocean and return to our world.
We guys just want to live a peaceful life without getting involved in any wars or conflicts.
This swamp is not precious land, and there is no serious conflict of interest. I hope you can give us a way out and let us live here."
After Mogmulok said these words sincerely, Niebuhr and Ashkandi looked at each other.
It seems that these ogres really don't know that their world has been destroyed and they can't go back even if they want to. Of course, the two of them are even more surprised that there are "people of the day" in the scrawled and ferocious tribe.
The presence.
Although Mogmulok surprised them, the two men did not trust the ogre so easily.
Especially this Mogmulok, as an ogre, he can actually master the language of Azeroth. You must know that in the tribe, those who can use the language of Azeroth must be at least high-ranking officers.
The Mogmulok in front of him was probably pretending to be pitiful to hide his identity as a war criminal.
"How did you learn the language of our world?"
Niebuhr asked, feigning pure curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Mogmulok showed a meaningful expression.
"In the past few years, I have spent most of my time in chains or in a cage.
But in the ogre camp, the food reserves can also be communicated with each other.
From the great swamp to the human kingdom, from the forest to the mountains, and then to this great swamp, I have encountered too much 'food'.
I am very smart and can hide myself in a pile of food. Thanks to Goduni, there is always enough food, so I can be raised until now."
There was no fluctuation in this guy's tone when he said this. Greed for life and fear of death are the common characteristics of life. Mogmulok had no burden in his heart about trying every means to let others be eaten before him.
Ashkandi felt a little nauseous, but Niebuhr could understand.
Once upon a time, weren't the sand trolls also on the road to destruction, engaging in unconscious cruelty?
It can only be said that the sand trolls were lucky to meet a leader who guided them.
But understanding is understanding, Niebuhr would not be so foolish as to trust the ogres or even accept them.
After finally discussing it with Ashkandi, Niebuhr said with a cold expression.
"We can stop attacking you for the time being and let you live here first.
But I warn you, don’t try to play any tricks! Your original master, the Godunni Ogre, was defeated by us!
There is a guy named Urlock, you should all know about it, right?"
How could Mogmulok not know Mogmulok, the biggest leader in the Gordunni barbarian army?
After receiving a positive answer, Niebuhr pointed to Ashkandi and introduced.
"It was this powerful warrior who defeated and seriously injured Urlock! Thanks to the chaotic battlefield, that guy was able to steal his life!
Of course, Urlock’s three younger brothers were not as lucky as him, all three Urlock brothers had their heads chopped off!”
The four Ur brothers have always been the most arrogant and domineering among the Gordunni ogres. Three of them died, which shows that Gordunni indeed suffered an unprecedented defeat.
For a moment, Mogmulok remained silent and kept making flattering gestures.
"We have absolutely no tricks and we sincerely pray for peace.
If possible, we are also willing to do business with you and we can contribute our own labor."
At this moment, Niebuhr really believed in Mogmulok and would consider business issues, which proved that they really wanted to live a peaceful life.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Just stay here and let us handle it!"
Because of this group of ogres, the pursuit of Gazlowe was also delayed. As a result, Niebuhr was not in a very good mood. He left this coldly and withdrew to the Dust Mud Camp with Ashkandi.
However, the careful Niebuhr, while reporting what happened here back to Gadgetzan, also did not forget to arrange a team of people to keep an eye on the movements of the ogres at all times.
Such a group of ogres really made Li De uncertain whether it was true or not. However, it was only a few hundred ogres. Even if they really had hidden evil intentions, it would be difficult for them to become a reality. However, it gave Li De a chance to observe the ogres in detail.
The race of humans and demons.
There is no direct conflict between the Hanhai Protector and the group of ogre slaves who have regained their freedom, and naturally it is not the main conflict in this war.
What really deserves attention is that Li De and Dai Lin are planning to cooperate with each other to launch a large-scale military operation.
