When he saw the waiting red dragons on Tidal Island, Derek subconsciously dodged back. The previous battle left a certain psychological shadow on him.
"Humans, don't be nervous, we won't fight you now."
The moment he heard the red dragon speaking, which was more than ten meters long, Derek panicked. Faced with such an intelligent creature that was much more powerful than himself, he didn't know how to get along with it.
Li De, on the other hand, was much more calm and asked after expressing his respect to the dragon with etiquette.
"I came to meet you as promised. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Seven giant dragons walked over slowly and formed a semicircle to look at Li De.
"Thank you again, strong human being, for saving us from the humiliation of slavery."
A red dragon said this. His appearance looked familiar to Li De. After careful identification, he realized that this was the one who was injured in the back when he killed the orc cavalry.
"To put it bluntly, my main goal is actually to end that battle. I'm sorry, I cut your back during my previous battle."
The red dragon shook his head.
"It's okay, my injury has healed."
As he spoke, the giant dragon flapped its wings twice in a show of nature. As expected of a red dragon that possesses the power of life, they are the only ones who can recover so quickly after being injured.
After some pleasantries, the dragons finally got to the point. The one who spoke was the red dragon who was instigated by Li De before.
"My name is Buckromworth. From you, I feel the power of the guardian dragon. Can you explain it to me?"
Buckromworth is one of the many descendants of the Red Dragon Queen. His status in the Red Dragon Legion is above average, so he has a keener perception than ordinary dragons. He felt the power of the guardian dragon in Li De.
strength.
"I come from the Tanaris Desert, and the Bronze Dragon King gave me a blessing."
The Dragon King's blessing was extraordinary. After answering this question, Li De immediately gained the respect of these giant dragons.
"You are a human being worthy of our trust. I ask you to help us rescue Queen Alexstrasza. She is still imprisoned in Grim Batol and suffering. The orcs have an artifact that can control the dragon. We cannot resist it.
I don’t have enough power to save the queen myself.”
When Buckromworth said this, Li De could feel the hatred and anger in his tone.
"The Aspect Dragon is of great significance to Azeroth. I will not sit back and watch her continue to suffer. After the orc war is over, I am willing to help you save the queen."
The red dragons did not expect that Li De would agree so readily, and Buckromworth was greatly moved.
"Thank you for being so generous. I'm sorry that we can't help you in the next battle against the orcs. If we appear on the battlefield, the orcs will probably abuse Her Majesty the Queen. But other than that, there are other things
, we will do our best to help.”
As he spoke, a sparkling scale fell off from Buckromworth's lower jaw, and this scale floated into Li De's hand.
"With this, you can contact me at any time. After the Orc War is over, I hope you can take the time to go to the Wyrmrest Temple in the northern continent of Northrend. During this period, we will try our best to find other helpers."
Li De looked at the scale in his hand. It looked like a huge ruby. He immediately put it carefully into the package and once again expressed his sincerity.
"I will, within half a year at the latest, I will definitely visit Northrend."
Half a year is just a blink of an eye in the dragon's long life. Although they wish to rescue the queen now, they can't afford to wait for this half year.
The dragons unanimously bowed their heads to Li De as a way of expressing their respect.
After that, without any nostalgia, they jumped into the sky and disappeared into the sky. In the past six months, they did not want to waste a moment. It was not enough to obtain a promise from a strong human race. They needed to win it.
More helpers.
Although the queen is still imprisoned, her consorts are still there, and there are other dragon kings, and they need to work together to formulate a perfect plan.
…
After bidding farewell to the red dragon, Li De and others immediately set off south to Khaz Modan. Dailin finally received information from Lothar, where they were fighting against the Horde's Bloodring Clan.
However, after a day's sailing and half a day's land journey, when Lid and the others arrived at Khaz Modan, they did not see Lothar. Waiting for them were the Bronzebeard dwarves and gnomes, as well as the Kurdran Wildhammer.
"This is the Li De I'm telling you about. His strength is admirable, and he also won the Zandalari trolls for the alliance."
When Li De walked into the dwarf camp in Liquor Village, Kurdran was enthusiastically introducing it to the dwarves beside him.
The dwarf didn't speak, but just observed Li De with interest. At the same time, Li De also noticed the sturdy dwarf with a thick flaxen beard.
Dwarf men without exception have thick beards, and dwarves have lifespans several times that of humans. It is difficult to judge their age based on their appearance alone.
But judging from the dwarf's demeanor when talking to Kurdran and his excellent armor, Li De could probably guess his identity, and Kurdran introduced him to Li De.
"Li De, this is the leader of the Bronzebeard brothers, Magni Bronzebeard."
Regarding this kind dwarf king, his name was very familiar to Li De, so he walked over and reached out his hand.
"Hello, I'm Lidl Victory."
Such novel etiquette made Magni a little curious, but Magni quickly accepted this equal etiquette.
The dwarf's hands were broad, strong and warm. In contrast, Khaz Modan, which was always covered with snow, made Li De feel even colder.
"I heard about you, respectable human race. But you came too late to find Marshal Lothar. He helped us defeat the orcs here two days ago, and now he has chased the orcs south to the Burning Plains.
.”
When Magni opened his mouth, Li De couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but Kurdran comforted him.
"I have already met Lothar. He was very pleased after hearing what happened to you and said he was looking forward to meeting you."
Li De immediately cheered up, knowing that he didn't have much time to waste here, and immediately expressed his intention to take the land route from here to the Burning Plains.
However, Magni persuaded him.
"Please rest here first. If you go on the road like this, you will not be able to adapt to the climate here. And I happen to have a logistics team to set off next, so you can set off on the same journey."
When Orgrim divided his forces in Khaz Modan, he left behind more than 10,000 troops of the Bleeding Ring Clan. Facing these powerful orc armies, the dwarves and gnomes could only passively defend. Lothar led the troops to relieve them.
The Siege of Ironforge and Gnomeregan.
The dwarves and gnomes were grateful for Lothar's kindness. Not only did they send combat troops to join Lothar's command, Ironforge as the rear also provided logistical supplies for the Alliance army.
Li De, of course, happily agreed to Magni's proposal. He was here in full plate armor, and it really felt like "the cold wind blew the iron clothes, and the iron clothes were cold."
At first, Li De was a little worried. The dwarves had a long history of conflict with the frost trolls of Khaz Modan, and whether the trolls under his command would arouse the resentment of the dwarves.
But Li De soon realized that he was worrying too much.
First of all, there is a big difference between the sand trolls and the frost trolls with earthy skin. Moreover, since joining Li De's command, the sand trolls have been affected by the light of civilization, and their standing posture has also changed, no longer hunched over.
The wretched temperament.
Coupled with the fact that Zandalari's golden armor was really intimidating, the dwarves soon realized that these "Zandalari trolls" were different from the still ignorant frost trolls.
Also, thanks to the fact that the Bronzebeard dwarves are an open-minded people and have the excellent quality of distinguishing right from wrong, if it were someone else, such as the narrow-minded Dark Iron dwarves, it would probably be a different story.
To make a long story short, half an hour later, Li De and his team were all covered in Ironforge's specialty: thick furs.
The sand trolls caressed the furs on their bodies with innocent smiles on their faces. Growing up in the desert, they are resistant to drought and heat. Needless to say, they really can't stand this cold weather. Although the nights in the desert are equally cold.
, but compared to this world of ice and snow, it’s really childish.
Everyone was warming up by the bonfire at the campground in the Liquor Village and drinking strong liquor. During this period, Magni also showed a keen interest in Li De's sword.
After obtaining Li De's consent, Magni got the Lasher and looked at it. The ancient craftsmanship of this weapon amazed Magni, the forging master. However, Magni was also surprised by the shadow energy filled with the weapon.
Frankly, if possible, it is best to find a highly respected priest to purify it.
Li De just smiled and said nothing.
If the heart is not right, the sword will be slanted. He always believed that there is no right or wrong in power, only the person holding the weapon is wrong.
Sensing that Li De didn't care about this, Magni still patiently advised him. In his opinion, using power without distinction can easily put himself in a dangerous situation. He had a good impression of Li De.
That's why I would advise you like this.
However, he also saw that Li De did have his own persistence, so Magni no longer persisted in the matter. He was a kind-hearted person, and it was not his character to force others to accept his point of view.
Kurdran changed the topic at the right time, and the atmosphere of the conversation became cheerful again.
Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived. An hour and a half later, the dwarf's logistics force was ready, and it was time for Li De and the others to set off.
