All-Professional Master of Darkness

Lan Wu took a deep breath of cold air, raised his eyes and looked around.

This is Harrogath, the home of the barbarians. These rough and passionate men have been guarding the Holy Mountain of Arreat for countless years and have never left it.

There are a considerable number of barbarians in Rogge Camp, Lugaoin, and even Kurast Seaport and Demon Fortress. They also followed the traditions of the barbarians, shaving their heads and getting tattoos symbolizing the totems of each tribe. But they have never been recognized by Harrogas.

Harrogas has always maintained friendly relations with the barbarians outside, but he is still arrogant in his heart and unwilling to recognize those professionals who have obtained the blood of barbarians for some reason. It wasn't until a powerful barbarian leader openly ostracized outsiders that this slightly extreme nationalism really spread in Harrogath.

Standing on the street built of rough stone slabs in Harrogas, Lanwu could see that although the barbarians passing by looked friendly, they were actually maintaining their appearance of friendliness. They hide their inner arrogance very well. After all, this is Harrogath, the location of the World Stone Fortress, and it also needs external forces to help defend against the invasion of demons.

"Thank you for saving Weiss." Guerrera walked up to Lan Wu and expressed her gratitude again.

"No... you're welcome." Lan Wu was about to return the favor, but saw Guerrera turning around and leaving with the four team members without giving him a chance to finish his words.

Lan Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly as he watched the five Guerrela people disappear into the bustling crowd. These big guys are really as ridiculously arrogant as the rumors say. Shaking his head, he put the matter behind him and began to habitually visit this magnificent city located on the top of the plateau.

Harrogath is the holy city of the barbarians, located on the top of the plateau under the Arreat Mountains. But this gigantic, miraculous city was not a holy city for barbarians from the beginning. The barbarians have had a single goal from generation to generation.

Guard the sacred mountain of Arreat.

At first, the barbarians lived in the vast Arreat Mountains. Until the forces of hell invaded the world, the barbarians lived in seclusion in the Arreat Mountains under the rule of the immortal king Bulkatho. The good times don't last long, and the forces of hell are coming fiercely. Countless human nations were destroyed and had to unite. In order to resist the invasion of demons, humans found these powerful warriors living in seclusion in the Arreat Mountains. So the barbarians joined the coalition to resist the invasion of demons, and worked with humans to eliminate the demons.

The addition of the barbarian clan has injected new vitality into the human coalition. The powerful barbarian warriors soon rose to prominence in the war, and under the leadership of the Immortal King Bulkatho, they repelled the first demonic invasion. After driving the demon back to hell, Bulkatho led his people back to the Arreat Mountains and continued to live in seclusion.

But the good times did not last long. Diavolo and the other three demon gods were reluctant to give up the huge human base and launched a second war again. After years of preparation, this war was even more tragic than the last. Under the powerful crushing force of the demons regardless of casualties, the humans who had once again united were retreating steadily, and had to turn to Bulcaisel again.

This time, the barbarian clan also played a role that cannot be ignored, once again establishing the title of a fighting nation with their strong strength. Helpless, countless demons forced themselves to overwhelm the huge human base and ignited the flames of war in every corner of the world. Especially the holy land of the barbarians.

Arreat Mountains.

The Immortal King Bulkesso learned that the Holy Mountain of Arreat had been attacked by demons and led his people back. After returning to his hometown, he unexpectedly saw the devil building a war fortress on the top of the Arreat Mountains.

The sacred holy mountain was defiled by demons, and Bulcaisuo led his tribe to launch a relentless attack on the spot. Bulcaisuo, known as the God of Barbarians, was extremely powerful. However, relying on the solid fortress, the demon army headed by Baal withstood the attack of almost the entire fighting nation.

When the demons gained a foothold in the Arreat Mountains, they began to launch a counterattack. Most of the once prosperous barbarian clan died in the battle. In order to preserve the bloodline inheritance of the barbarian clan, Bulcasso had to lead a group to break out of the encirclement. He just used his blood and life to find a way out, and finally arrived at what is now Harrogas.

At this time, the reinforcements from the human coalition allowed the barbarians to regain their footing. It was at that time that the barbarian clan had close contact with outsiders for the first time, and finally the original descendants of barbarian blood emerged.

With the assistance of the human coalition, Bulcaisuo led his tribe to build a strong city in Harrogas. Soon after, the appearance of angels brought the war to another level.

Demons, humans, angels.

The three parties' forces gradually became intertwined. Some humans abandoned their allies and joined the hell forces to gain greater strength. The other part followed the angel and gained the power of light. The last part of humanity continues to live and fight in the same way as before.

The barbarian race is one of this group of humans.

The Second Sin War is over. The three parties entered a truce period. At this time, Bulkatho left Harrogath alone in order to seek a way to regain the sacred mountain of Arreat. The powerful barbarian god left, but the barbarian race did not completely decline. These fanatical and powerful warriors still adhere to the ancient traditions and regard recapturing the Holy Mountain of Arreat as their lifelong ideal. And Harrogath became their new holy place.

Recalling the information he had gathered from the dark historical background and the rumors he had heard since coming to this world, Lan Wu walked through the city filled with strong ancient charm, not feeling very emotional in his heart.

The reason why the Arreat Mountains are the holy land of the barbarians. The reason why the devil wants to occupy the barren top of Arreat and build a strong fortress is now self-evident.

Because that's where the World Stone is.

The barbarians may not know that the holy land they guarded with their lives was the center of the world. But they never get to the bottom of things and stick to tradition from beginning to end. Even if the barbarian population was less than one percent of what it was in its heyday, they still chose to fearlessly attack that solid fortress.

Based on this alone, it is no accident that Harrogath can become the most powerful force in mankind.

Nowadays, Harrogath is certainly the holy land of the barbarians, but the barbarians are no longer as strong as they used to be. In addition to the barbarians who adhere to tradition, there are also professionals such as mages, druids, paladins, etc.

Lan Wu felt very uncomfortable as he walked along. The barbarian clan has suffered heavy losses as a result of their constant struggle to recapture the Holy Mountain of Arreat. Compared with the Amazons in the Kurast harbor area, these powerful warriors can already be called an endangered race.

It wasn't until he entered the forging area located in the northeast corner of Harrogas that Lan Wu calmed down and began to look for the first goal of his trip.
