The night attack battle ended quickly. There were scattered corpses near the Centaur camp on both sides of the creek.
This is an elite centaur team with more than 10 spellcasters, but unfortunately, they encountered the more powerful Prell team.
The misled centaurs did not know that the team they were chasing was hiding behind them, and Prell and his companions were better at night fighting, so the centaurs were in bad luck.
The wild boar Amedeo still did not participate in the battle. This time he very obediently started digging the hole in advance. Prell used the stream to clean the blood on his body and also helped start digging the hole.
These centaurs were even poorer and didn't even have any equipment that caught their eyes. So they buried what should be buried and burned what should be burned. A group of people cleaned up the traces of the fighting and left here.
Prell's plan is to find out how many centaurs of the Kokar and Garak clans are distributed throughout the northern part of Desolation, look for their supplies of food and grass, intercept messengers, and in short, wreak havoc in the rear.
Although there are no horses and insufficient mobility, this team can be called an elite team. As before, Pierto Thunderhorn did not take action, but was preparing to clean up enemies who might escape from the periphery.
He still collected all the centaur souls into the "Soul Lamp" and silently did the hard work of finishing the follow-up. Tamra Wasteland still had a cold attitude towards him.
After resting for a day in the mountains, Prell discussed with his teammates and decided to get out of the mountains again and head southeast.
Because Rexxar said that the combined armies of the Kokar clan and the Garak clan who stayed in the north of Desolation established a stronghold southeast of the Kodo Cemetery, mainly to house the old and young centaurs from the two clans.
The Desolate Land was too barren, and the nomadic centaurs were forced by the harsh environment to learn to settle down and try to make a living by breeding.
According to Rexxar's intelligence, this stronghold was named "Kolka Village", and there were already goblin merchants who were not afraid of death and set up business there.
According to the inferences of Rexxar and Tamra Wasteland, the supply point for the joint army of the Korkar and Garak clans this time should be between Korkar Village and Thunder Ax Fortress. After all, the Fire Blade Clan of Thunder Ax Fortress
Teams were also sent to participate in the war.
Emerging from the mountains, Rexxar had taken over as Tamra's guide. He was more familiar with the entire Desolate Land than the tauren shaman. Then they spent the night in a spectacular ruins.
This seems to be the ruins of a temple for the elves. Huge round stone pillars can be seen everywhere. Decadent stone buildings bear some traces that look like religion. The elves even built several huge stone towers on the top of the mountain.
, but these stone towers have all been destroyed without exception, with only half of the tower remaining, covered by overgrown weeds, shrubs, moss and sparse trees.
Prell looked up to the west. The air was gray, and even the setting sun was cast in a dim light. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, and he just felt that it was too depressing.
Tamra said quietly: "In the ancient war ten thousand years ago, the Burning Legion was guided into our world by the elves. In order to repel and expel the invasion of the Burning Legion, the elves fought fiercely with the demons from other worlds.
The war spread across half of Kalimdor. This must be the remains of the battlefield from that time!"
Prell also sighed. Ten thousand years is really too long, especially for a short-lived race like his. Probably only immortal species like elves can remember such a long history.
Rexxar waved and said, "We can see Thunderaxe Fortress from here." He led a group of people to climb around the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain behind an abandoned stone tower in the south, they saw a gray tower in the distance.
The black fortress is an orc-like building that Prell is very familiar with.
It was probably Tamra's thoughts of reminiscing about history that also disturbed him. Rexxar sighed and said: "The Burning Blade Clan is a clan with a long history and tradition among the orcs. Unlike other clans, the Burning Blade Clan does not rely on blood.
link.
Shamans who are good at communicating with the fire element will put forward trial requirements for warriors from various clans. Once they pass the traditional trials of these flame shamans, the warriors will receive long swords infused with the power of fire as rewards from the shamans.
Sword, the best among them can get the title of 'Sword Master'.
Due to the harsh trial conditions, the Burning Blade Clan has a small number of members, but its combat effectiveness is strong. But this clan disappeared after I came to this world. The current Burning Blade Clan is a group of bandits who pretend to be this great clan.
, the remnants of the Shadow Council, and some orc opponents who are dissatisfied with Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer. It can be said that they are just lackeys of the Shadow Council and have tarnished the great name of the Burning Blade clan.
!"
Prell asked: "Are there no other surviving members of the Burning Blade clan?" Rexxar shook his head: "I don't know. In fact, I didn't stay in the orcs' invading army for a long time. I don't like it.
Those tribesmen whose heads were burned to death by the blood of demons also don’t welcome me!”
Prell did not continue to speak, but just looked at the majestic building of Thunder Ax Fortress in the distance. Although it could be seen from here, he estimated that it would take at least two days to travel from here to Thunder Ax Fortress.
Tamra seemed to remember something, and she said: "This is probably Tadisalan, the former temple of the elves. I once heard some things told by the druids."
Prell looked back at the spectacular ruins, and then at the equally spectacular Thunder Ax Fortress in the distance, feeling slightly dizzy. History seemed to be intertwined at this moment.
After leaving Tadisalan, under the guidance of Rexxar, they carefully passed through the north of Thunder Ax Fortress and arrived at a wasteland.
There is no grass growing here in the true sense. Occasionally, one or two burned trees can be seen. There are large puddles on the ground, and the water is also turbid. Except for the tenacious cockroaches, this wasteland is only sand.
Palatine lizards and wasteland giant scorpions exist.
Tamra's eyes were full of sadness: "This place used to be a pasture, but the continuous war between the tauren and the centaurs has completely destroyed the vitality of this land!"
Prell looked around and saw a desolate scene. There were huge bones of old Maikodo beasts everywhere that had not had time to return to the cemetery, bare stone hills, and the air was filled with dust. It was obvious that this land was becoming desertified.
Then they were attacked by a group of hungry Boneclaw coyotes. These coyotes couldn't find enough food, so they became extremely manic. After killing these coyotes, Lexa stopped Prell and said:
"Like the sand-jawed lizards, these animals also eat rotten corpses, and their meat is inedible." Prell reluctantly took back the dagger.
In order to find water sources, Lexa led the way and the group passed through this dry and desolate wasteland. Finally, they saw a semi-weathered stone bridge on the dry river bed. There was a pavilion-like building beside the bridge, but there was only
Two upright stone pillars were in dilapidated condition.
"Further east is Sagron, which was once a town of elves, but it has been burned by war. Now it is occupied by a group of creatures with goat horns, goat legs and hooves, and lion tails. It is said that they call themselves satyrs, who are
The elven race transformed by demons."
Rexxar simply introduced: "These satyrs are very aggressive. We must be careful and leave immediately after replenishing the water." Prell nodded and relayed his words to the people behind him.
They were on the edge of the wasteland, east of the abandoned stone bridge, and found a small forest. There was a small pond there, which was also the water source Rexxar mentioned.
They were very lucky. There were no Satyrs around. Lexa breathed a sigh of relief: "There are often wandering Satyrs who come to hunt animals that drink water. We are pretty lucky."
He led Prell and his group to continue heading southeast. Prell opened the map and sighed. There was still a small piece of grassland near the mouth of the Coke Valley, but from Tadisaland to the south, there was a large area.
Barren land without any grass growing on it.
They have never encountered a nomadic centaur tribe again. It is obvious that the harsh natural conditions here also prevent centaurs from surviving.
After crossing the Sagron area, Rexxar led everyone along the foot of the mountain to the south. Here, close to the mountains to the east, there are more woods and more animals. At least it is no longer lifeless.
Earthy yellow.
After walking for two full days, they finally saw a low hill in the distance. Lexa said: "After climbing over those hills, we will be able to get close to the village of Kolka in a day at most. Maybe we can
What can be discovered?"
Prell nodded. He didn't want to talk at all now. The wind blowing from the wilderness was mixed with dust and gravel. The water bags they carried didn't hold much water, and the water supply was too little, so Prell kept holding back.
Thirst.
Saying less words would save some energy and a sip of water. He looked at the sky and felt that the environment in the Desolate Land was really too harsh.
The closer they got to Kolka Village, the more excited Tamra Wasteland's expression became. When they finally walked out of a withered forest at the foot of a mountain and arrived near the hills, the female tauren shaman couldn't bear it any longer.
With tears in her eyes, she said: "This is the place where my ancestors once lived!"
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Tamra said: "I once heard my mother say that our last name was not Wasteland, but Gray Horn. The cruel centaurs drove away my people, and I
The ancestors had no choice but to leave, hiding in a wilderness and continuing to survive hard.
But our ancestors were driven out of the wilderness by the centaurs who were chasing them again. In order to commemorate their former hometown, my ancestors changed their surnames. According to the stories passed down from my ancestors to me, this is mine.
A place where our ancestors once lived as nomads!"
Prell looked at the gray land in the distance at the foot of the mountain. He sighed, and Lexa also sighed: "The war destroyed everything. How I wish none of this had happened!"
Pierto Thunderhorn, who was far behind, seemed to have heard Tamra's words. He looked at the cow shaman silently and sadly, and then looked into the distance silently.
Rexxar did not lead everyone to continue moving forward, but suggested taking a rest in the mountains, because centaurs often appeared here to hunt. Prell agreed, so Rexxar released the falcon Spire and went
Southern reconnaissance.
After Spire flew back, Lexa's expression was a little heavy: "Some bad news, the leader of the Kokar clan, Dezpa Khan, came here from the south of the Barrens."
Prell asked: "How many people did he bring with him?" Lexa said: "I don't know, but he shouldn't have brought many people. After all, he has to go through Thousand Needles and Feralas, and the long road is impossible.
He was followed by a large number of followers.”
Prell touched his chin, feeling that he could do something.
