Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 24 23. Night Visit to Thrall (Part 1)

"Since half a month ago, the orcs crossed the sea and came to the hills, those green skins have been looting everywhere, and they tried to besiege my castle in groups.

But with Marshal Lothar's advance arrangement, those green skins couldn't take advantage of it at all.

They came three times, failed three times, and the hills were their burial place! Don't go one step further than those beasts! "

On the way back to the castle, Maj. Dellas Boo Laike Moore walked with Boo Laike.

He rode on the horse, and discussed the battle situation in the hills with Bu Laike in the passionate and deep tone that a commander and a veteran should have.

In this feudal country, this attitude of "equal" communication between the lord and the soldier is particularly valuable.

The major also took a special detour and took Bo Laike to see the gallows in the castle.

More than a dozen captured orc wolf cavalry were hung on it, some were dead, some were still convulsing and struggling, and a group of children beat the intruders with mud.

The surrounding soldiers did not stop him.

The major seems to be using this method to show his position to Boo Laike in order to gain the goodwill of the "orc killer".

It's actually easy to understand.

Although Azeroth is a world where it is very common for large armies to fight, in this world, due to the existence of various magical powers, personal force is elevated to a level that affects tactics and even strategy.

As long as an archmage launches a blizzard at the right time and the right place, it is enough to destroy an army.

And an assassin, as long as he can seize the opportunity, can also influence the trend of a war.

The simplest example is the war in which the Human Stormwind Kingdom in the southern border of the mainland was captured two years ago.

In addition to the huge army of the orcs, the main reason is that the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, Ryan Wrynn, was assassinated on the throne by the legendary half-orc assassin Garona in full view.

That shocking assassination directly led to the collapse of the Stormwind Kingdom's army, and Marshal Lothar had to flee to northern Xinjiang with his young prince and hundreds of thousands of citizens.

The current Bu Laike, of course, cannot be compared with the legendary assassin Garona, but he was able to kill the title of "Orc Killer" in the hills, which proves that he is no longer an unknown figure.

And the major has already got the complete battle report.

The Danga Locke castle guarded by the stubborn dwarves was able to successfully counterattack and win a wave of victories under the siege of the orcs. The main reason was the emaciated and abnormal assassin in front of him.

It was he who alone assassinated the chief of the Bonechewer clan, Harkan Skullsplitter, and made the Bonechewers lose their command. With the dwarves' desperate charge, he created a "small miracle".

This can almost be regarded as a replica of Garona's assassination of King Ryan. This is the way assassins use their daggers to dominate the war. Compensation business.

"I have personally fought against the orcs for several years. Mr. Laike may not know that when I went to Khaz Modan to rescue the exiled people in the Kingdom of Stormwind, I led the knights under my command to fight the orcs in the wetlands."

Major Bo Laike Moore observed the eyes of the orc killer, and he continued in a contagious tone:

"I once sneered at the stupid argument that 'orcs are not worth mentioning' circulated by the high-level officials of various countries. I am not boasting, but I realized the threat of orcs very early.

I once asked General Danas to give me an expeditionary force to go to Khaz Modan to stop the advance of the orcs. Unfortunately, I am only a soldier with a low status, and it is difficult for my opinions to be heard by the upper echelons.

Moreover, there is also a lack of warriors like you, the master, who can spread far and wide, and their words lack weight. Fortunately, the invasion of the orc cubs has finally awakened the high-level leaders.

Even Lord Daval Prestor, who is very prominent in the political circles of northern Xinjiang, has become a staunch main fighter, which gives us soldiers who are unwilling to bow to the orcs a chance to stand out. "

Speaking of this, the meaning of the major is already obvious.

When he reached the gate of the castle, he said to Bo Laike sincerely:

"I can't promise a bright future for a warrior like you. I can only promise you that if you step on the battlefield with me, I will never let you down."

The major was quite candid.

After the previous foreshadowing, if Bu Laike is really just an assassin of humble origin, there is a high probability that he will not refuse the solicitation of this powerful little lord.

Unfortunately, Bou Laike is not.

He is familiar with the fate of Major Bo Laike Moore, and he also knows that working under this guy has no future at all, and he can't take the initiative to throw himself into the mud pit.

Another identity of the pirate must also be taken into consideration.

His wounds will always heal.

His face will always be reported, and once he attracts the attention of Kul Tiras, especially Prince Drake's father Dai Lin, things will become very troublesome.

The fate of the prominent Proudmoore family in the next ten years is also a big pit, and Laike doesn't want to jump into it yet.

Moreover.

He's a real prince!

There is no reason for a prince of a powerful country to work for a major. Now that Dellas B. Laike Moore is kneeling down and asking to be vassalized by the prince, is it normal?

So Bu Laike didn't answer directly, but said in a hoarse voice:

"You say you are of low status? Please stop joking.

Even a foreigner like me knows that you are one of the most trusted generals of General Danas Trollbane and His Majesty King Thoras Trollbane who sit in Stromgarde.

They have entrusted you with such an important military site as Dunholde Castle, which has proved that you have a bright future.

Unfortunately, I was born in Kul Tiras, and I have sworn an oath of vengeance. I cannot serve other lords until I have avenged my brethren who died fighting on the sea of ​​Khaz Modan.

But I'm here to kill orcs.

Therefore, I am willing to step into the battlefield with your army! "

"That's good! That's what the Warriors do."

Hearing the same frank answer from Laike, the major couldn't hide his disappointment.

The assassin veiledly rejected his offer, but when he heard that the orc killer was willing to join his army, the major became happy again.

With the help of such an assassin who can assassinate the little orc chieftain, he will definitely have great gains in the next battle.

This is not bad for his career.

The major brought Boo Laike into the castle with a smile on his face, and told his apprentice Auriden to meet all the master's needs before going to his office and continuing to deal with military affairs.

"Major Brad Laike Moore is a real hero, and a man of his caliber is bound to make a difference."

Walking with Oriden in the fortified castle corridors, Bo Laike complimented the local lord against his will.

And the young sergeant would be equally grinning.

He brought back the head of the orc captain and the orc's beheading sword as a proof of his military exploits. Together with the mentor's "arrangement", he had already been included in the list of the next batch of promotions.

Soon, he will be a second lieutenant.

And this is all due to the "orc killer" in front of him. Auriden is a very smart person, so he greeted Laike all the way and sent him to the prepared room to rest.

"boom"

Just as the two walked out of the second floor of the castle one after the other, a teenage girl in a blue skirt with blond hair and holding a fruit basket walked by.

She hummed a song, looking very happy, not affected by the cloud of war in the castle at all, walking like a little girl bouncing around, almost bumping her head on Oriden.

He was helped by Bu Laike, who had a quick eye and a quick hand.

The little girl was very polite and apologized to Sergeant Oridon in a panic. The sergeant was in a good mood today, so he didn't reprimand the girl.

Bu Laike looked back at the back of the girl dragging the fruit basket away. He stroked his chin blocked by the face scarf, and said in a hoarse voice:

"That girl, is the major's servant?"

"No, master."

Oriden, who is very observant, said in a low voice:

"Her parents were the major's servants.

She was a lucky and bright girl named Taresa Foxton, and because her mother had done the Major a favor some years before, Taresa had been allowed to be educated as a child.

Unlike those farmers who don't understand anything, this kid will have a good future in the future. "

"Ok."

Bu Laike nodded and didn't ask much. After returning to his room, he took off his leather armor and took a cold shower in the big wooden barrel as if he was taking a rest.

He finally didn't need to eat and sleep in the open, desperately in the wilderness, the moment he lay on the comfortable bed, the pirate assassin was so happy that he almost cried.

Because it was during the war, the decoration of this castle room is not luxurious, but it has been cleaned up as clean as possible, and fruit and food are specially delivered.

After resting for two hours, when it was getting late, Laike opened his eyes and glanced at the dining table, only to find that the silly little murloc had already eaten all the fruits.

He also secretly drank the wine specially prepared by Oriden for the master.

He was lying on the dining table, soundly asleep, and the "retired" murloc knife and dagger of Bu Laike was caught in the claws of the little murloc, like a dagger.

The pirate assassin shook his head, not disturbing the pet's rest.

He put on the leather armor silently, carefully rested the blade fist with the whetstone, and applied poison to it at the same time.

When the night fell and the whole castle was much calmer, he secretly opened the door, and in a stealth state, avoided the guards all the way, and went under the castle.

"According to the dungeon process in my memory, there should be a secret prison underground in Durnholde Castle. Its entrance is on the side of the armory on the first floor of the castle, a very small passage."

Laike's tiptoe walking in the shadows stems from the middle-level shadow affinity talent, which allows him to control the shadows more delicately. The shadow clothes on his body are like flowing water, completely covering his breath.

Sliding down from the top of the castle all the way, I met several teams of patrolling guards on the road, but they didn't disturb them at all. Bu Laike even practiced his "stealing" skill.

Along the way, there was a pile of copper coins and some useless gadgets in the luggage.

It seems that the soldiers under Major Bo Laike Moore are also having a rough time.

He came to the first floor of the castle, and first went around the Ordnance Curry where weapons and equipment were stored. As expected, there was no valuable armor equipment.

With a feeling of disappointment, he continued to wander through the undulating lights of the corridor, looking for the way to the underground prison.

But games are games, and reality is reality.

The castle built on the hill was too big, and Laike turned around several times, but he couldn't find the passage leading to the underground prison, so he changed the way.

Hiding at the entrance of the armory on the first floor, waiting there.

Soon, around midnight, a small figure appeared in front of Laike. It was the girl she met this afternoon, Taresa Foxton.

This little girl who was born as a servant was holding a food basket with a book in her hand. She yawned and hummed as she walked to the corridor on the other side.

In the shadows, Bo Laike narrowed his eyes and tiptoed after him.

he knows.

This seemingly ordinary little girl will lead him to the person he wishes to meet.

That's also Major Boo Laike Moore, the biggest secret.
