Walking southward along the hills to the west of Colca Village, the terrain here is undulating, with numerous continuous hills of varying heights, blocking the sea breeze blowing from the flat mountain pass plains on the coast of Thaseris.
Kolka Village is located roughly northeast of the Kodo Cemetery. The Kodo Cemetery is in the center of Desolace. It is a huge valley. Because the terrain is low-lying, small streams formed by precipitation throughout Desolace eventually merge into it.
Once here, several lakes of different sizes have formed in the center.
It's just that it's still extremely dry here. Unlike the grasslands of the Barrens, the Desolate Land is more like hilly grassland. The most common green here is the small hills and valleys here and there, with one or two trees or a small patch of trees growing here and there.
This is the hottest time of the year, and the Barrens has entered a long dry season. According to Lexa and Tamra, the Desolate Land is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are no obvious four seasons.
The changes are not obvious in the dry season or the rainy season.
The color of the entire Desolate Land is earthy brown, with occasional small patches of hills and valleys as green embellishments. Then Prell and his party discovered a centaur hunting team, which set out from the direction of Colca Village.
, judging from the direction of travel, it is obviously towards the Kodo Cemetery to the west.
The Kodo Cemetery, a huge low-lying valley, is obviously the most suitable place for grazing and hunting in the entire Desolate Land. Old Kodos come from all directions to find their own place of death, and large groups of Kodos also come.
Foraging for food attracts more other animals.
For example, there are also herbivorous thunder lizards, carnivorous crocodile-like sand-jawed lizards, scavenging hyenas and raptors, and even earth elemental creatures and stone elemental creatures wandering from Marathon.
Prell even saw a wind elemental creature, marching along like a tumbleweed, rolling up gravel and grass wherever it went.
Prell then led his teammates to sneak attack on this centaur hunting team, because they also needed to obtain food sources. On the edge of the hills east of the Kodo Cemetery, Prell's team attacked this fruitful hunting team at night.
Centaur hunting party, and then had a delicious meal.
The centaur's harvest includes hares, bison, and a brown kodo. According to Tamra, this kodo has just entered adulthood and its fur will turn black.
Under Prell's command, everyone finished cutting up the centaur's prey carcass, and then Prell opened his portable packaging system and loaded the divided pieces of meat into it.
Everyone exclaimed when they saw Prell storing the pieces of meat like a magic trick. Lexa said in admiration: "So you also have space equipment." He shook his finger, and there was a small
Small gray ring: "I once got this from an orc warlock. The capacity is very small."
Prell smiled and did not explain too much. So after hastily cleaning up the traces of the battle, the group continued to go south. This time he did not let Amedeo dig a hole. There were many scavengers.
Flock of birds, the bodies of these centaurs will surely turn into a pile of bones in less than two days.
Then they discovered a caravan in the southeast of the Kodo Cemetery, near a ditch created by precipitation. Rexxar had recalled the Falcon Spire and was scouting far ahead.
"It's a caravan of more than a hundred green-skinned goblins, more than a dozen kodos, and more than a dozen carriages. They are about two or three miles in front of us, heading south." General Lexus
The intelligence detected by Bi Lei's high-altitude reconnaissance was fed back to his teammates.
"This is probably the goblin caravan that provides food and supplies to Kolca Village. Let's follow it!" Prell said.
They followed closely and found that the goblin caravan passed through the centaur territory of the Magram clan in the southeast corner of Desolace, so they turned around and headed west.
"They are going through the Manorok Gathering Hall!" Rexxar immediately made a judgment. The Manorok Gathering Hall is located in the mountainous area south of the Kodo Cemetery, and is one of the three passages from the north to the southwest of Desolation.
one.
One of the roads is naturally the Spear Valley occupied by the centaurs of the Malodi clan, and a narrow path between the mountains and hills to the east of the Spear Valley, and the Manorok Assembly Hall is located on the third passage, a stretch of rolling hills.
Near the only mountain pass among the hills.
According to the information provided by Rexxar, there are some remnants of the Burning Legion hiding in the valley on the south side of the mountain pass, mainly succubi who took refuge here after the end of the Ancient War. These female demons are petite and usually hide in the valley.
There is little contact with the outside world.
After the War of the Ancients, the elven race suffered heavy losses and was fragmented, so they did not have enough energy to pay attention to this small group of remaining demons, which allowed them to exist to this day.
However, as the orc warlocks of the Shadow Council who fled under Gul'dan under the guise of the Burning Blade clan came to the Desolate Land and built the Thunder Ax Fortress, these orc warlocks were worried that they would attract the attention of other enemies, so they have always been very careful.
Various demons are summoned into the void in a controlled manner.
In the end, they quickly discovered the Mannorok Gathering Hall, enslaved these relatively weak succubi, and even began to summon higher-level demons, such as the Doom Guard.
Rexxar guessed that the summoning ceremony he had destroyed before was probably the orc warlocks' attempt to summon the low-level demons from the Tomb of Sargeras. Of course, he didn't know about the Tomb of Sargeras originally, even until Prell told him about it.
After learning about the past history of the Burning Legion, he finally figured out why Gul'dan suddenly disappeared with a large number of followers.
The goblin caravans swaggered into the valley and prepared to pass through. Prell was a little confused. According to his memory in the game, this place should be filled with hellfires, hellhounds, succubi and the orc warlocks who control them.
So with doubts, he and his companions followed quietly. When approaching the valley, Lexa suddenly frowned: "There seems to be a familiar and uncomfortable smell in the air." Prell also felt it.
There was a trace of discomfort, and the power of the Holy Light in his body seemed to react.
"There, I smelled the Warlock Summoning Ceremony!" Rexxar pointed to the south, which is deep in the valley. Prell nodded: "We are going to take a look! Everyone must be careful!"
After climbing over several hills, everyone discovered the situation behind a hillside. This was also a rock building site of the elves. Between the huge valleys, there was a lake where streams converged. However, the entire valley was barren of grass, and the soil and even rocks
They all turned into a gray mixed with an extremely uncomfortable miserable green.
Even the water in the lake has turned into a thick ink color, with green water waves constantly rolling in it. On one side of this small lake, a semicircular stone gate stands in the open space, with a faint green light coming from it.
It is transmitted through the stone door.
There was a group of about a dozen orc warlocks wearing gray cloaks who were casting spells at the stone door. Around them, there were more than a dozen succubi, hellhounds and hellfires standing layer by layer.
Prell and his teammates hid behind the hillside. Their position was some distance away from the place where the orc warlock summoned the ritual. Seeing those wandering hellhounds, it was obviously impossible to sneak attack and destroy the ritual.
Rexxar clenched his fists. He had no fondness for the orc warlocks, and looked angrily at the undulating lake surface stirred by the magic energy.
All the warlocks stretched out their hands, and the pale green evil energy poured out, all concentrated on the stone gate, and the dark green lake surface seemed to be thicker in color.
Then the stone door burst into light, and a pair of huge black curved horns stretched out from the stone door. Then the summoned demons revealed their heads. Their huge hands pulled the stone door and squeezed out, and then the stone door exploded.
When it was broken apart, the summoned demon revealed its true appearance.
He is covered in reddish brown, with a small black mane on top of his head, huge black curved horns, curved hooves, and a long tail. He wears black armor that is constantly emitting sparks, and hangs a burning green weapon around his waist.
Sword, two pairs of huge flesh wings are constantly emitting flames. In comparison, Prell visually estimated that his height is enough to be three to four meters.
"You'd better build the summoning door bigger next time!" The demon yelled at the orc warlocks, and as he spoke, thick smoke of fire and brimstone continued to spit out from his mouth.
"I am the doomsday guard Azrethok, Gul'dan's slaves. Do you want to have any fun when you summon me here?" The demon said loudly, and drew out the green flaming sword, and fiercely slashed
A section of the stone gate that was still standing was broken into pieces.
He spoke in demonic language, and the orc warlocks who summoned him responded to him, but the warlocks' voices were not loud enough for Prell to hear clearly, so he relayed the demon's words to his companions.
"Azrethok? This name sounds familiar!" Rexxar murmured. He once followed the orc army to fight after Orgrim Doomhammer seized power. At that time, Gul'dan's Shadow Council also
Under the nominal leadership of this orc warchief.
Therefore, Rexxar had the experience of fighting side by side with the orc warlocks, but when he thought of that unbearable past, his face became gloomy again.
"The Doom Guards are the Ereduin race. They were once bound and driven by the Titans of the Pantheon. They specialize in supervising and finding races that use sacrificial magic in the universe. They are an inspection force responsible for supervising the use of arcane magic. Sargeras' betrayal
After destroying the Pantheon, this race was freed by the fallen Bronze Titan and became completely loyal to their master, the Abyss Lords, and served as the strike force of the Burning Legion." Prell explained.
Then his expression suddenly changed: "The master of the Doom Guard is the Lord of the Abyss. Is the Lord of the Abyss preparing to invade the world again?"
Rexxar's face became even more ugly: "My hometown and homeland, Draenor, is ruled by the abyss lord Magtheridon. Gul'dan once lured some orcs to drink the demonic blood of Mannoroth the Destroyer.
Is there a new abyss lord coming to Azeroth?"
Prell thought about it carefully and sighed: "I'm afraid the destroyer Mannoroth has come to Azeroth. I can probably guess where his hiding place is."
Lexa asked eagerly: "Where?"
"Maybe it's in Ashenvale, but I'm not sure." Prell looked at Azrethok, feeling more and more that this Doom Guard was connected to Mannoroth.
"We can try to kill this doomsday guard, but this demon is very powerful, so we must plan carefully." Prell tried to use the eye of observation to check Azresok's status, but only saw his title "Demon King"
Azresok".
In other words, according to the system's determination, this demon is powerful, perhaps not as powerful as Rexxar and the Pandaren Chen Stormstout, but there are still more than a dozen orc warlocks and their summoned demons, and Prell's teammates
The strength is uneven, so you may not be able to take advantage if you act rashly!
