Chapter 44: The Messenger of Ashes, Destiny Returns
"The Red Dragon Queen ran away?"
"Does Deathwing really think that this little cleverness can escape our manipulation?"
"Start Plan 2!"
At the same time, the main brain body located in the endless maze is calmly issuing orders.
The reincarnators did not know that the sudden failure of the Dragon Soul was due to Thanos connecting to the World Tree through Sylvanas, and then connecting to the Red Dragon Queen from the World Tree, and finally suppressed the Dragon Soul with the Reality Stone.
The power of.
This has come full circle, no one would have thought that Deathwing was behind it.
Villains always do bad things.
However, as reincarnators, they are on guard against big bad guys like Deathwing who can do anything. With the mastermind's order, the reincarnators who were encircling and suppressing the red dragon clan stretched out golden ropes one after another.
He lassoed towards the red dragons who were falling behind.
"Ho! Roar!"
The rope was actually attached with the repressive aura of the dragon soul. The red dragons were put around their necks and directly became reins. The reincarnators rode on them, letting out miserable whines.
"No!!"
The leader, the Red Dragon Queen, heard this and returned immediately.
She is the queen of the red dragon clan and should not abandon her clan and escape alone!
Knowing clearly that staying would mean one more person would die, and would cut off the chance of rescue for his companions, so he always turned back.
Fortunately, at the next moment, a domineering light fell on her back, stopping the Red Dragon Queen's unwise move and heading north unswervingly, slipping away even faster.
"Huh?"
This time the mastermind realized that it was not Deathwing, but another being who helped the Red Dragon Queen escape from trouble.
The scope was too wide, and he couldn't determine who it was for a while, but the direction in which the Red Dragon Queen was escaping made him a little uneasy.
That is the dwarven kingdom of Khaz Modan.
Arthas and Sylvanas are now heading towards the dwarf kingdom.
If the two sides meet by chance, it will greatly disrupt his plan.
"Team Lust, you immediately control the red dragon clan and attack the dwarf kingdom!"
The mastermind was extremely vigilant. After thinking for a moment, he showed a ruthless look and issued the order.
"Master in charge, we have just controlled this group of red dragons. The power of the dragon soul is limited. If we do not tame it and go directly into battle, all our previous efforts may be wasted..."
The lust team was a little reluctant, and the demigod headed by them argued hard.
"Don't worry about life or death. Just cause huge damage to the dwarves and make those hot-headed guys hate the red dragon. I will equip you with the 'Omega Golem'. After completing the mission, it will be yours!"
"No problem, we'll go right away!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. When the strongest series of demons in the dark web appeared in front of them, the lust team immediately entered the transmission channel with smiles on their faces.
Whoosh!
From the center of the endless maze, a pillar of light rose, turned into a stream of light, and headed towards the north.
They want to carry out large-scale destruction before the Red Dragon Queen reaches the dwarf kingdom, forcing the Red Dragon Queen to change her route.
As for whether there will be problems with long-distance teleportation, the mastermind is not worried because it is not Dalaran.
Sending troops to the Magic Kingdom from a long distance is a provocation to Antonidas, the Archmage who is good at space. The Dwarf Kingdom is just a low-profile steampunk world.
On the other side, Huang Shang opened the portal and entered the dwarf kingdom from the north, arriving in this ice-covered steampunk world.
“The air here smells so bad and the noise is so noisy!”
As soon as she entered the border, Sylvanas frowned, showing a look of disgust.
Huang Shang looked forward, and saw a layer of fog visible to the naked eye covering the earth. Thick black smoke rose straight up from the ground and into the air. The echo of the whistle sounded in his ears: "Dirty dirty dirty~~~ dirty dirty dirty
~~~”
"This is the kingdom of the dwarves!"
It has to be said that World of Warcraft combines so many elements that once the border is crossed, it seems like a different world.
Compared to the medieval knight-style Lordaeron and the magic academy-style Dalaran, there are mine tunnels, large-diameter chimneys, laid out railways, and occasionally steam trains and tanks coming and going...
The human kingdom is still an agricultural society. The dwarf kingdom has already entered a wave similar to the European Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Machines have replaced manpower, large-scale factory production has replaced individual factory handwork. Their royal capital is also called Ironforge.
A super huge furnace.
Of course, this world is a magical world, and technology is only one way, and it is difficult to reach the level of rivaling gods and demons, so the dwarves are not having an easy life now. Since the Kingdom of Stormwind was destroyed, they have borne the brunt of being surrounded by orcs, and they are struggling to resist
.
There was artillery fire not far away, and a group of dwarves raised their muskets and shot at the enemy.
"It's so noisy!"
Huang Shang felt inexplicably nostalgic, while Sylvanas covered her ears.
Dwarves love the steampunk style, and all large machines will be equipped with iconic whistles, and this thing is simply a kind of destruction to the ears of elves.
"Bear it!"
Huang Shang comforted her, saying that if it weren't for the mastermind, Sylvanas would have been asked to drink more hot water.
"O God, I pray to you to save the ears of believers!"
The elf girl clenched her hands into fists, and after a moment she took out two purple sweet potatoes from her pocket.
In order to repay God's guidance, she prepared to eat purple sweet potatoes for three meals a day. She had eaten a big one before, and now she took out two more from her pocket and started to shape them.
Soon, a pair of purple earmuffs were shaped and put on the ears.
Sylvanas did not keep it to herself, but also made a pair of earmuffs for Huang Shang to wear.
"who?"
They were making a lot of noise. A sharp-eyed dwarf noticed that there seemed to be someone on the hillside behind them. He flicked his musket, loaded the flare, raised the barrel, and pointed it at the sky.
call out!
A ball of light like fireworks exploded, making the field of vision clear, and both sides could see each other.
Dwarves are not the short and fat people you imagine. In fact, they are all very strong and strong. Just like a macho man who was forced to lower half of his head, his head can only grow horizontally. Therefore, his shoulders are wider than that of the strongest human knight, and his muscles move rhythmically.
A bulging, long and thick beard covers most of his chest.
To sum up, it is short, big and tight.
"Are they humans and elves?"
The dwarf who used the flares was okay, but the dwarf behind seemed to have red eyes and threw a war hammer directly.
Storm Hammer!
Seeing the sparks of the war hammer with lightning expanding in front of his eyes, Huang Shang stretched out his five fingers, grasped the true silver holy sword, and slashed at it.
A burst of sparks flew over, and the Storm Hammer was violently blown away. The dwarf tried to catch his weapon gracefully like Captain America catching his shield, but was thrown directly away.
The dwarf who was leading the musket was shocked and looked at Huang Shang's arm: "Have you seen that a human boy has so much strength? It's a pity that you don't go mining!"
"As expected of a race that is famous for being able to talk."
Huang Shangquan took it as a compliment, waved his hand, and then looked at the enemies of the dwarves.
A bunch of dark-skinned orcs?
A closer look revealed that these orcs were covered in a substance similar to coal and had the burnt smell of muskets, but they were still ferocious and had already chopped down several dwarves.
No wonder the other party is so nervous. If he retreats, he will be dead...
No!
The next moment, the ground behind the black orcs suddenly cracked open, and a steam drill truck broke out. Three rows of dwarves sat on it, shooting in three sections, aiming at hundreds of orcs.
"put!"
Boom!
Under the ruthless baptism of artillery fire, black lives no longer mattered, and the black orcs screamed in agony and fell one by one.
Huang Shang and Sylvanas admired the dwarves' fighting art and evaluated their combat effectiveness. They found that they were not weak, and their confidence immediately increased.
They are here to find allies, and the stronger the dwarves are, the better.
But then, a strong wind hit from behind, and golden figures approached like lightning, and soon they surrounded the two people.
"Griffin? It seems that the Wildhammer dwarves and the Bronzebeard dwarves have indeed reconciled!"
Huang Shang looked at this flying creature with the body and claws of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle.
Lions and eagles dominate the land and the sky respectively. The gryphon is a combination of the two. It was first tamed by the Wildhammer dwarves and later became the flying mount of the Alliance.
The key is that this Wildhammer dwarf should not have appeared here, because there was a War of Three Hammers in the dwarf kingdom. The three major clans competed for the throne. In the end, the Bronzebeard clan succeeded and drove the other two clans out of the Iron Forge.
fort.
Among them, the Wildhammer dwarves tamed the gryphon, and the other Dark Iron dwarves were tamed by the Fire Lord Laglaros.
Originally, the Wildhammer dwarves and the Bronzebeard dwarves were hostile to each other, but at this moment, a group of Bronzebeard dwarves rode majestically on griffins and landed in front of them. The leader jumped off the back of the griffin vigorously, fully armed.
His piercing eyes were cast on Huang Shang, and he was suddenly startled: "You idiot, is that you?"
Huang Shang raised his eyebrows: "Muradin? I am Alsace, Alsace!"
"Hahaha! I knew it was you. You've grown into a handsome young man. We haven't seen you for more than two years!"
Hearty laughter burst out from the mouth of the dwarf leader, and Muradin's stocky body strode forward. Huang Shang hurriedly knelt down, as if hugging his son, and patted Muradin on the shoulder, making him stagger.
Let you call me a fool, let you call me!
They are indeed old friends. As the younger brother of the dwarf king, Muradin Bronzebeard once served as the ambassador to Lordaeron and lived in the royal city.
This man is a living treasure. From beer and pastries to national events, he always has an optimistic yet serious attitude and is deeply loved by everyone.
However, after the orcs attacked the dwarf kingdom, Muradin returned to his country and we still meet him now.
After roughly recounting their experiences after the separation, Huang Shang introduced Sylvaras to Muradin and explained the situation of the red dragon clan.
"Alsace actually knew about the red dragon's escape?"
The mastermind in his arms listened carefully and was shocked. He couldn't figure out where the news was leaked for a while. Instead, Muradin scratched his beard and was not very interested in those big lizards: "The orcs' attack is very fierce. Our
There is a shortage of manpower, so it may be difficult to assist the Red Dragon Clan..."
Sylvanas' face changed slightly, and just when she was about to say something, Huang Shang showed an understanding expression: "I understand, it's okay, it doesn't matter."
These three consecutive words of comfort made Muradin lower his head further and said with a blushing face: "But I can help you, Muradin Bronzebeard, never lets his friends down!"
"I thought so too!"
Huang Shang patted his shoulder and felt relieved immediately.
If we were to rank the trustworthiness of various races, dwarves and tauren would undoubtedly be number one. Every word counts and every word counts. As long as you win their friendship and guarantee, you will be the most reliable ally.
After Muradin agreed, he felt a little disappointed. He looked at Huang Shang's tall physique and rolled his eyes: "Alsace, I will take you to Ironforge by car!"
Huang Shang felt bad. Just as he was about to refuse, Muradin pulled his leg: "Like a man, follow me!"
The two dragged and dragged to the entrance of a tunnel, where they saw a familiar track laid with mobile tools that looked like go-karts placed on it.
The dwarf riding the vulture was still flying high, and the other dwarves sat on the kart skillfully. Muradin called Huang Shang and Sylvanas to get into the exclusive car. Fortunately, the dwarf chassis was big enough, and the two of them did not feel any physical discomfort when they entered.
Quite loose.
But the next moment, psychological discomfort came, and Muradin vowed: "I will take you for a ride. Don't worry, I am an experienced driver! Sit tight!"
Not to mention Huang Shang's expression was not right, Sylvanas, who had been popular all day long, had a premonition that she was about to experience a hardship.
"Yo-hoo-!"
Sure enough, as soon as Muradin stepped on the accelerator, there was a strong pushing feeling on the back, making the two of them fall back tactically, clinging tightly to the seats, and then they saw the tunnels on both sides retreating like lightning.
This kick directly went up to two hundred yards. If it was just a pure top speed, it would be fine. The key is that the lane is not level. It is high and low at one time, just like a roller coaster.
Huang Shang could still hold on thanks to the physique of a paladin. Sylvanas's chest rose and fell, and she could barely press the purple sweet potato she had eaten for lunch back into her throat. The mastermind's soul was controlled by his body, and he was dizzy, as if he was pregnant again.
During this period, I suddenly vomited it out.
Muradin, on the other hand, was steady and marched towards the middle of the dwarf kingdom. Along the way, he poked his head out from time to time, raised his thick arms and said, "For Khaz Modan!"
"For Khaz Modan!"
Everywhere he passed, there were dwarves echoing him. Huang Shang noticed that this tunnel extended in all directions and had many branches, extending to various underground trenches and bunkers. The dwarf soldiers were located underground, fighting with the orcs on the ground.
Tunnel battle, hey, tunnel battle!
The orcs just felt miserable.
The key point is that every volley fired by the group of dwarves, due to the height difference, is aimed at the orcs below the waist and above the thighs, which is extremely inhumane.
There are also powerful mortar units, controlled by dwarf gunners, pouring ammunition into the densely packed orcs.
The lethality is quite astonishing. Every blast and muffled sound will explode into a spray of blood and body parts, even cutting out several blank areas in the densely packed orc army.
The lethality of mortars is definitely not much weaker than magic, because in addition to the direct damage from the shell explosion, there is also the damage from shrapnel splash.
The effect is really good when dealing with flesh and blood bodies like orcs. After all, without the treatment of the shaman, injury is actually equivalent to slow death.
The actions of the dwarves were very secretive, either with only the muzzle of the gun exposed, or only the muzzle of the cannon exposed. After a sudden volley, they disappeared when the orcs charged. Some even blew up the entrance directly to prevent the orcs from flooding.
Fill with smoke.
Anyway, they can continue to dig without any trouble and just fight the orcs until they die, even with multiple times of their troops pressed up to no avail.
"No wonder the orcs didn't attack Ironforge when they were at their strongest. Such an away battle is really uncomfortable."
Even if it is difficult for the reincarnators to change this situation, Huang Shang is relieved about the situation in the dwarf kingdom.
"Haha, Alsace, you are good. When you come back, we will have a good night of drinking!"
Seeing that the little prince quickly adapted to the shrimping business after experiencing the initial discomfort, Muradin showed admiration and joy and decided to take him to taste the wine.
Smoking, drinking, racing, and perming your beard, if you satisfy the first three, you will be a good friend of the dwarf!
"arrive!"
"Welcome to Ironforge!"
When the go-kart suddenly stopped, the vision suddenly opened up.
Ironforge is an underground city located under the warm and dry mountains, which is completely opposite to the ice and snow of Khaz Modan outside.
Because there is a huge lava river flowing around the city, and dozens of large and small furnaces are in full swing, working day and night.
When Muradin led Huang Shang and his entourage to formally enter Ironforge, there was a mighty and short body standing beside the large furnace in the center of the city, constantly wielding a sledgehammer and forging a huge sword like a hatchet.
Sparks are flying and the heat wave is overwhelming!
"All enemies will turn into ashes in front of this weapon!"
"Its name is Ashbringer!"
The forger is none other than King Magni Bronzebeard. This dwarf king is not dealing with national affairs, but forging in the oven. It seems very strange, but as the strongest blacksmith of the Bronzebeard clan, he thinks that forging
It is even more critical to produce this magical weapon.
One person and one soldier can often influence the direction of the battle!
At this moment, the hammer in Magni's hand suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Next to Magni stood a dwarf with a burgundy beard, wearing a big wide-brimmed hat and a huge pipe on his waist. His voice was full of energy and passion.
He is the youngest of the three Bronzebeard brothers, Brian-Bronzebeard, an adventurer and archaeologist, and the founder of the Explorers Association.
This passionate and brave dwarf, for his beloved exploration career, traveled almost all over the continent and drew a map of the entire Eastern Kingdom, including the most remote corners and hidden areas.
Not only on the surface of the earth, but also in terms of understanding of various ruins and tunnels, Brian was ranked second, and no one dared to be ranked first.
It was also the strange crystal brought back by Brian that gave rise to the current artifact "Ashbringer".
Now, the prototype of the weapon has just been built, but the dwarf king turned his head and said in a tone of destiny: "I feel a mysterious force guiding me. The master of the Ashbringer has come to Ironforge!"
