Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"I didn't expect that you actually defeated the devil by jumping into a gang and fighting. I thought it was a funny story in the legend."

When Dai Lin walked into the Hall of Heroes, she heard Black saying in a teasing voice:

"The old sea dog of the sea can't resist the urge to chop off a few heads with a knife even if he reaches the stars. It seems that you have no hope of becoming an excellent starship commander in this life."

"But I won, and that leaves you speechless, my boy."

Dai Lin stroked his beard that was burned by the evil fire during the battle. He grinned, threw the captain's secret key to Black, waved his hand and said:

"That ship is good, but it's not suitable for me. Maybe I'm not ready, or as you said, I never hope to set foot on the sea of ​​stars in my life."

"You just feel that the things you need to learn before becoming a captain give you a headache. You just feel that you are being scolded by a group of dwarfs, which makes you lose face."

Blake laughed and walked towards the exit of the hall. He whispered to Dai Lin:

"But it's too late, old man. I've already enrolled you in a crash course as captain in Mechagon. After the war, you can go back to being a student. Do you need me to arrange some big evil elves as your schoolmates?

You're welcome, I know you want it. "

"I think your skin is itchy."

The admiral scolded expressionlessly, but Black only gave him a provocative look before disappearing into the shadows under the dim sky of the Hall of Valor.

When Dailin turned around, Jarod was already introducing Varian's next plan of action.

When he heard that a commander was needed to lead the Ashes Expedition into Antorus to perform a suicide rescue, the young emperor breathed a sigh of relief and accepted this important task without hesitation.

He said seriously:

"There is no one more suitable than me, Commander Jarod. Of course I need an adjutant. Maybe Warlord Saurfang is willing to support me in such an operation?"

"No, Varian, you are not prestigious enough to lead such an army."

Behind the emperor, Dai Lin shook his head and said:

"You are more suitable as the commander of the human side of the assault force.

As for the most suitable candidate, I think Brother Stormrage, who has won the War of the Ancients, and Lady Tyrande, the wife of Lord Malfurion, are the most suitable.

They have faced the same desperate situations, and at least at the level of experience, they have far more experience than all of us. "

"I don't think you should even join this raid."

His Majesty Faao spoke more directly, and the old man said with a serious expression:

"As the emperor, it is understandable that you want to show your courage, but the most important thing you should do is to stay in the base camp to boost morale. You can kill a hundred demons by yourself, but the warriors inspired by you can easily kill them. Ten times as many enemies.

Varian, you need to learn to use your identity.

I will go to this raid myself. "

"Ah, speaking of prestige, Your Majesty, shouldn't you stay here to boost morale?"

Varian said with a headache:

"How can a young kid like me have the same prestige as His Majesty the Pope?"

"Varian is right, Your Majesty."

Dai Lin spoke uprightly and said:

"Your prestige and ability are more useful here than fighting with us. What's more, the emperor of mankind has always been known for his bravery. If Varian can complete this attack and return victorious, his throne will only be more stable. "

"So be it."

Jarod and the other three commanders exchanged glances, and he said decisively:

"Calling everyone from the Ashes Expedition to come to the Hall of Valor now! I have the map near the Burning Throne captured from the demons. We must seize the time to discuss the various points of the raid plan.

Three days at the latest.

Once the draenei spaceships bring the aqir swarm from Draenor into the battlefield of Argus, and once our stretched troops are relieved, we will set off immediately! "

——

"mua~"

A passionate kiss is unleashed in the shadow of a floating island in the terminal dock surrounded by demons.

Of course, this is just a taste. After all, Maiev is very serious and serious when fighting.

Although Black was dissatisfied with this, and he longed for some more in-depth communication to ease the longing after not seeing each other for several days, Ms. Shadowsong decisively rejected this crazy proposal.

"In the past few days, Nasa and Moon Guard, along with the Watch veterans, have planted Titan explosives on several ships near the dock, but this is almost the limit of what we can do."

Maiev stood in the shadow of the broken floating island, pointing at the large and small demon starships flying around in front of her, sometimes taking off and sometimes landing, and said to Blake:

“These spaceships that are far away from the dock really can’t find the opportunity to penetrate.

The demons guarding this place are not only numerous but also very elite. Their ships have strange evil devices that can dispel the shadow, making it impossible for us to sneak through shadow evasion. "

"this is necessary."

Blake sat on the shadowed stone, reached out and patted Maiev's arm, looked at the busy terminal dock in front of him, and said:

“Even among the Burning Legion, which has many soldiers and never lacks cannon fodder, the Demon Starship Fleet is the most elite force. They have unleashed more killing and destruction in the stars than all the other Demons combined.

If it weren't for the existence of star souls in Azeroth, and if it weren't for Sargeras who needed Azeroth to remain intact, then 10,000 years ago these guys would have been able to tear our world apart by just relying on the shooting of starships.

Look!

Kil'jaeden doesn't care at all about the landing of the Anti-Magic Alliance and our small victory. This can be seen from the orderly operation of the dock.

They are constantly delivering weapons and ammunition to the fleet's starships, and they are obviously ready to carry out a full-scale bombing on us when we are assembled.

Our resistance is nothing but a joke in the eyes of the deceiver, who holds the power to destroy us at any moment. "

"Do you have any idea?"

Maiev hugged her helmet and glanced at Black, she said:

"You have brought your people here, which means this is your next target. You must be able to come up with some weird ways, right?"

"There is a way."

The pirate snorted, pointed to his cheek, and said to Maiev:

"But I don't want to say it unless..."

"you"

Seeing that the pirate was so out of character, the warden lady was so angry that she wanted to pick up the knife wheel and give this guy a knife.

But a few seconds later, she still leaned down and kissed the pirate gently on the cheek. As a result, Blake took him in his arms and gave him a passionate French kiss that lasted for several minutes.

It wasn't until Maiev was out of breath that Blake let go of her, touched his bleeding lips again, and said:

"That's right. Expressing your longing should be more enthusiastic. Okay, don't take the knife! Isn't that okay?"

The pirate comforted Maiev, who had already pulled out his sharp blade, and pointed to the ground in front of him that was broken to the point that it was directly connected to the outer space. His eyes were shining with the light of magical mystery, and he said:

"Mimiron will be transported to the Antoran Wasteland with the last Iron Legion in the final transmission that will be completed at midnight today, and he will bring the Scepter of Sargeras with him.

I have contacted the Star Saints who have the deepest understanding of space among the stars. With their help, I will use the Scepter of Sargeras to create a super space storm in the terminal dock.

Did you feel it?

Even in Argus, where the space system has completely collapsed, the space structure of the terminal dock is particularly chaotic. The demons chose to build the dock here because the space structure here will not interfere with the starships' movement to various places.

This is a huge advantage, also for us.

With an evil creation like the Scepter of Sargeras, in a place like this, it only takes a little preparation time to force these starships loaded with weapons of destruction into every corner of the stars.

Of course, with the strength of the Demon Starship, such chaotic transmission cannot destroy the main body of the Starship, or even prevent them from returning to Argus across the stars.

But we gained time!

By the time they slowly returned to Argus, the war would have been over long ago. "

Blake patted Maiev's waist armor, winked and said to his wife:

“We don’t need to destroy them, that’s too much trouble, we just have to kick them out.

Of course, such a large-scale space storm will definitely damage the scepter of Sargeras, and using Sargeras' artifact on Argus may attract the attention of the Dark Titan.

But I can't control that much right now.

Before the Star Saint and the Scepter of Sargeras are in place, we must first find the weakest point in the broken space of the terminal dock as the eye of tonight's big storm. "

"The weakest place in space?"

Maiev nodded, pointed to the floating island at her feet and said:

“Then here it is.

I had completed the exploration of the space here a few days ago, but the mages said that they could not use teleportation to teleport so many starships at once, so I gave up this tactic. "

"My wife is the most powerful, and she has the same feelings as me."

Black laughed and stood up, holding Maiev's slender waist from behind. His hands flexibly penetrated into Lady Shadowsong's breastplate, and whispered into her sensitive long ears:

"Then you see, now that the most troublesome strategy has been determined and the weak point of space has been found, I have asked the Uncrowned One and the Hunters to separate and prepare for the midnight hunt.

But there’s still some time before midnight, so why don’t we.”

"Blake!"

At this "critical moment", the mechanical dwarf communicator on the pirate's wrist suddenly sounded a prompt from Shore, which was very serious.

He said:

"Come here! We just saw a demon escorting a prisoner off the ship. The prisoner is one of ours!"

"Um?"

Blake and Maiev looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The pirate raised his wrist and asked:

"All the prisoners were rescued during the previous attack on Krokuun. Why are there still others? Did you see who it was?"

"It was Ms. Sylvanas who completed the investigation. She told me that it was a dwarf and a pandaren. I asked Nathanos to risk getting closer and then confirmed their identities."

Xiao Er sighed and said in a tired tone:

"It's Prince Bronzebeard Brian and Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo. They should be in Mac'Aree, but they were captured here by the demon for some reason. You have an idea.

Do you want to save them? "

——

"What bad luck."

In a cage in the terminal dock, the old dwarf Brian, who was covered in wounds, was hanging in the air in a cage suspended by a demon chain.

It can be seen that this unlucky guy was severely punished by the vicious demons on the way to the Antolan Wasteland.

Opposite him, Zhou Zhuo, who was also hung up, had his black and white mane covered in blood, and his injuries were even more serious than that of the old dwarf. Brian's pet monkey Greb was not abused.

But this little guy also had a chain around his neck and was tied outside the cage. He was chirping randomly.

It was not abused, of course, not because the demons were all animal rights activists, but simply because the demons were too lazy to teach a stupid monkey a lesson, but Grebe's fate was doomed to be miserable.

Because a greedy demon had ordered its head as dinner before, and the damn demon said he wanted to taste the monkey brain.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, are you still alive? Just say something."

Brian's hands and feet were shackled and he could not move at all in the cage. With his face covered in blood, he lay beside the cage and shouted to the silent traveler:

"Did you leave a signal for our people? Will they come to rescue us? Damn it, didn't there be no demons over there at the Seat of the Triumvirate?

Why were we arrested by a group of demons as soon as we stepped in?

Fortunately, I was smart enough to tell them that we had information, otherwise we would have been killed on the spot, but we couldn't hide it for long. I know some demonic language, and I heard they said they had already invited the soul-stricken interrogator.

We can be tough, but our souls cannot bear this kind of questioning. Once they find out that we are useless, we will be finished.

Lao Zhou!

Say something, hey, are you still alive? "

"puff"

Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo was beaten very badly. This was because when he was caught by the devil before, he wanted to block the devil and let Brian run first. In the end, the two guys couldn't run at all.

The old dwarf boasted that he could blow off a demon's skull with a shotgun, but it turned out he couldn't.

But although Zhou Zhuo was in pain, he was still conscious. The reason why he didn't answer was just because he couldn't speak now. Lao Zhou looked around and made sure that no demons were paying attention near the cage. He opened his mouth and took out the medicine hidden under his tongue. Something was spat out.

The thing jingled against the cage and the ground twice, and finally landed in front of the screaming monkey Greb. It was a lock pick stained with panda saliva and blood.

It is a special tool used by the high-level thieves of the Yulian Gang to slide doors and pick locks. As a traveler and archaeologist, Lao Zhou occasionally uses this tool.

"Ha, as expected of you, Lao Zhou!"

Brian's eyes immediately widened when he saw this scene. He suppressed his voice and cheered, and hurriedly shouted twice to the pet monkey at his feet. Greb followed the old dwarf around and saw a lot. When he saw the lockpick, It moved in an instant, and the chain around its neck was stuck, but the monkey used its flexible tail to reach out and wrap the lock pick in his hand.

It squeaked and climbed onto Brian's cage and handed the thing to the old dwarf.

The latter gritted his teeth and began to untie his handcuffs and shackles. Although he didn't understand why Brian, a world-famous explorer and archaeologist, was so skilled in using thieves' tools, now was not the time to think about that.

After a few minutes, the old dwarf opened the shackles and cage for himself, and also took off the chain around the pet monkey's neck. He jumped to Lao Zhou's cage and quickly helped him open the lock.

The severely injured Pandaren fell to the ground and was helped up by Brian. The two guys immediately wanted to run away, but they walked to the door of the cage and took a glance before retreating rationally.

There are too many demons at the door!

Rushing out like this is completely courting death, they must find another way.

"I guess we don't have to run, Brian."

Lao Zhou leaned against the cage and said breathlessly:

"We can't run away. There are so many demons here, and it won't be easy for someone to save us. Now everyone is fighting the demons, and we can't hold us back.

Why don't we give it a try!

Did you see it on the way there just now? This is not far from the control tower where the demons come and go. We rush over and try to destroy it.

At least it can make some contribution to the coalition forces.

This is also the chivalry we pursue as Pandaren.

Maybe it's time. "

The old dwarf fell silent. After a few seconds, he said:

"I'm not afraid of death, but how are we going to get there? We two sick guys will definitely be killed by those demons as soon as we go out. Hey, why is it so chaotic outside?"

Brian heard an explosion in the distance.

He rushed to the door and took a glance, then came back with wide eyes and shouted to Lao Zhou:

"The demons' spaceship exploded and they all went that way."

The two guys fell silent at the same time.

The next moment, they got up and rushed out the door.

No matter what the reason for the explosion outside was, this was definitely their last chance.
