Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Westfall emergency report!

Demon portals have appeared throughout the region, but no legion-level rift has been found so far. The commander of Xiquan Fortress has sent soldiers to join the Yuexi Town militia to start clearing out the demons. "

"Emergency report from Night Town!

A large number of demon hounds appeared in the Dusk Forest and were rushing towards the first line of defense of the Night Watch. In addition, the wizards of Night Town observed that a large rift was formed in the sky near the Karazhan Tower.

They are applying for royal mage support. "

"Watchfort Military Report has not observed any changes in the Dark Portal. The news from Glory Castle is as usual. The war situation in Draenor is stable today, and the demonic side has not suddenly increased its power."

In the command hall of the Royal Fortress in Stormwind City, military reports from all over the place were gathered in front of the command table by communication mages, and Emperor Varian Wrynn, who was wearing lion armor, was also discussing with his commanders. in the form of mutation.

However, the atmosphere of the conversation between the commanders was not solemn, which seemed to mean that the suddenly started war was not heading towards an extreme point of collapse.

Facts have proved that Azeroth's decision-makers are not just for nothing.

After several discussions, top strategists from all races accurately predicted the Legion's action plan this time. The demons did not adopt the plan of first occupying the world of Draenor and then invading Azeroth through the Dark Portal. It's in full bloom.

Their target is Azeroth first, which means that this wave of Draenor world has not been able to block the sword for Azeroth.

"The overall situation is okay. It seems that the strategic significance of the Argus expedition is more important than we previously thought."

Duke Bolvar Fordragon planted a small flag representing the demonic forces in the western wilderness of the Eastern Kingdom's map in front of him. In front of everyone's eyes, the entire eastern continent was densely planted with flags.

If a layman came to take a look, he would probably think that the entire continent had fallen.

but it is not the truth.

The demons that rushed the fastest in the first wave used the tactics of spreading in all directions to cause trouble all over the world. They were like sowing seeds and they were so chaotic that they had no deterrent effect.

Those small flags on the map represent mild threats, and the truly powerful ones are yet to come.

"Azeroth is not a big world, but it is not a small one. Now that the Burning Legion's star hub, the demon star Marton, and its base camp, Argus, have long been destroyed, the Burning Legion's troop projection is unparalleled among the stars. Big problems have also arisen, and coupled with the lack of and confusion in the command system, it is difficult for them to launch large-scale landing operations.

But don’t let your guard down. The arrival of these demonic cannon fodder indicates that the countdown to the real invasion has begun. "

Opposite the young emperor, the Royal Archmage Marin personally maintained a magical communication, and what appeared on the projection was General Maraad, the commander of the Draenei garrison.

The latter said to the commanders of the Eastern Continent with a serious face:

"The prophet had a glimpse of the future last night. He told us that the demons in the sea of ​​stars have come out in force, and the world's defense line will face a real impact this afternoon at the latest.

This is going to be a long battle, folks.

Call for support when necessary, and our frigates will respond at any time. The warships of the Holy Light Legion have also taken off. They will be responsible for blocking the first wave of demon fleets entering the world.

But our number of ships is small, so you must be prepared for bombing. "

"Well, thank you for your full help."

His Majesty Varian nodded and thanked General Delaney. When the communication ended, he looked back at Valeera Sangunar, who was wearing Warden armor and holding an owl helmet, and said:

"What's the situation with the elves?"

"Everything is stable now."

The instructor of the Watchers stationed in the eastern continent said in a capable tone:

"The demons who broke out of the rift couldn't even break through the Raynor Bandil barrier. His Majesty Sunstrider applied for wartime permission from the blue dragon to channel the magic power of the magic network into Quel'Thalas. He is confident that he can survive it. The early invasion does not require the support of human allies.”

"very good."

Varian breathed a sigh of relief and looked to the other side.

There stood a hunchbacked young troll, who was carrying a wooden spear and a spinning blade unique to trolls. He was wearing a set of natural-looking wooden armor and had a troll-style wooden mask painted on his face. With the weird graffiti of the troll god of death, Bwonsamdi, it looks majestic.

This is Varian's old friend.

"Wo'jin, please also inform the Divine Warriors in Stranglethorn Valley and ask them to be ready to support the Dusk Forest and the Cursed Land, which may be the key areas for invasion."

"I'll keep in touch."

Wo'jin stretched his body and asked again:

"Is there really no need to invite a few Loa to sit in Stormwind City? Your Majesty Varian, the demons are not fools. They may carry out beheading tactics against you."

"unnecessary."

Varian smiled and shook his head and said:

"This is the land of the Holy Light, and the Holy Light will protect its people."

These words made Lord Shore, who was watching and responsible for protecting the emperor, secretly curl his lips. His young emperor was now becoming more and more capable of telling lies.

The fact that Stormwind City is as stable as Mount Tai is obviously because he, the God of the Quiet Ones, has prepared in advance. The entire city is engraved with nightmare runes. Once the demons invade, they can be pulled into the nightmare world of the Quiet Ones.

When necessary, you can even summon the projection of the Sunless Sea to drive those raging destroyers crazy.

Although there was help from the Holy Light, most of the credit should belong to the Evil God.

"I heard that you and Princess Talanji are getting along well. Are you planning to get married after the war? Do you need me to send you a congratulatory gift?"

Varian was still in the mood to joke, but the young troll chief waved his hands repeatedly and said in a strange tone:

"It would be great if you could come to the wedding, but my Loa Bangsandi specifically told me not to talk about marriage before the war. It said it is unlucky."

"The customs of trolls are really strange."

His Majesty the Emperor curled his lips, and finally turned back to the naval commander, Colonel Taylor, and said:

"Has the support fleet from Kul Tiras arrived?"

"They will arrive at the designated area at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Taylor, who had returned from studying at the Kul Tiras Naval Academy, answered with a soldier's decisiveness:

"There are not many ships coming, but each ship has prepared 'secret weapons' and the coordinates of the defense line have been sent. They are just waiting for your order to implement the battle plan."

"Very well, let the fleet wait for orders."

Varian flexed his fingers and said:

"Those secret weapons that we spent a lot of money to rush to produce are our trump cards. This time we are going to give the devil cubs a big surprise!"

There was an atmosphere of eagerness and excitement in the command room. Ten minutes later, a dwarf officer hurried into the command room, wiped his sweat and shouted:

"There is a large-scale evil energy reaction in the airspace of Khaz Modan, and it is suspected that a legion-level portal is brewing. Your Majesty, the demons are preparing for a general attack."

"So fast?"

The emperor who was drinking tea suddenly stood up and walked to the map. After a few seconds, he turned back and said:

"Is the subway running normally?"

"Everything is normal, Your Majesty."

Shaw, who put on the assassin uniform, played with a double-sided gold coin and said in a calm tone:

"The Seventh Legion is on standby in the military camp in the old city and can reinforce the Khaz Modan area at any time. But IMHO, the dwarves may not need our support to resist the first wave of invasion.

Their steam tank army has just been refitted. Mechagon's new weapons are very powerful, and those crazy gnomes have buried mines under almost every snowflake in Dun Morogh, and they have the support of the Wildhammer Sky Knights. .

The demons will hit their heads and bleed. "

"No, I'm not going to support them."

Varian looked at his master assassin strangely, and he whispered:

"I mean, if our front is tight, I plan to have the dwarves come over by subway to support us.

This is great stuff!

I haven't realized it before, but I plan to ask Mechagon's architects to design a north-south subway line for the empire after the war is over, truly connecting the entire human world together.

Think about it, Shaw, if our legion can reach Lordaeron from Stormwind City in three days, then the empire that Marshal Lothar longs for will be truly unified. "

"Well, Your Majesty, it's good to have pursuits."

Shaw reminded softly with a serious face:

"I also know that you think we have a great advantage, but when it comes to our war, why don't you put your imperial dream aside first?"

——

"Bah! Those bastard devils actually touched my boat. It makes me sleepy and uneasy! Hack them to death!"

The majestic air fleet is flying in the Zandalar airspace in the South China Sea. Captain Gaboa, who was drunk last night, is currently sitting on the luxurious chair he placed on the stern of the ship, cursing.

He berated his incompetent crew.

Let them quickly push the demons who rushed to the boat and throw them to death. They were so angry that they grabbed a bottle of wine and poured it into their mouths.

The Reaper under it is no longer what it used to be. After two modifications, the flagship is no longer a wooden ship that stretches the hips. Mechagon spent a lot of money to get a steel hull, and the firepower system was also upgraded to make this ship look more attractive. It looks stylish, and the black and red paint specially used by cursed pirates makes it look like a gloomy sword when it jumps out of the clouds, absolutely murderous.

With the unparalleled firepower of this ship, the cursed pirates are now very majestic, roaming the South China Sea and the waters of Kalimdor, using the name of the Order of the Tides, and receiving lenient monthly protection fees.

robbery?

Who the hell wants to go to the robbery of Kuhaha? Isn’t it nice to maintain good trade rules and change jobs to a large sea merchant to collect money?

Amidst the screams of a group of unlucky demon guards being pushed down from a high altitude, Captain Gaboa took out this month's account book and flipped through it. He was overjoyed when he saw that the business of his "partner" Yulian Gang was getting bigger and bigger. tip of brow.

But when he thought about sharing part of his income with the people of Kul Tiras, he suddenly looked as ugly as if he had eaten cake.

"Damn old Dai Lin, why did you fall to death when you didn't wake up at night?"

The vulgar troll pirate cursed:

"You have become an old bastard, and you still want to hold on to this big fat man in Nanhai. I heard that the coffin board has two beautiful wives. Why don't you send some witch doctor's magic medicine to cheer up? Let him have a blast."

"Then you are overthinking, the old man is in good health.

A few days ago, he took the two queens out for a ride on the sea. He personally drove the boat and it was said that they had a lot of fun at night, and he was not afraid of breaking his waist. If you really think he is old, you are deceived.

Let me tell you, this is all a game.

You have to be careful, don't let that old guy hurt you. "

A familiar voice sounded in Gaboa's ears, causing the "Duke of Storms" to turn around, and saw the evil and great Lord Silence sitting on the chair next to him with his arms around a charming lamia, drinking wine. .

"Hey, why are you here?"

As if his face changed, Gaboa immediately bent forward to flatter him, and even pretended to bow down in salute. He tied his hands and said in a sinister tone:

"You are now a big shot, playing circles with the Titan Creators all day long. We old guys want to treat you to a meal, but we have to look at the faces of the bastards under your command.

That bastard Zarak actually threw my invitation in front of my face. He was so unbecoming of a man! "

"What are you talking about?"

Black patted Xal'atas's waist, glanced at Gaboa sideways, and said:

"Didn't I come here? I brought my friends with me."

After he finished speaking, Eredin, the king of the black knights in black clothes and black armor, walked out of the monster mist. That guy was now changing his gun for a cannon. He was wearing a mighty armor that cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

It seems that the Black Spirit pirates have also done well in the Eastern Continent recently.

"Why are you looking for him?"

Gaboa jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, whipped out his pirate scimitar and waved it wildly in the air, summoning many elite wind elemental escorts.

he shouted:

"Who in the whole world doesn't know that those demons are going to rush in and strangle us one by one? This bastard is Sargeras' loyal henchman.

He is the enemy!

It's just delivered to your door. Don't do it, Blake! Let me chop him to death with my own hands and send him to King Rastakhan in exchange for a reward or something. "

"Why are you so crazy?"

The King of Black Knights scolded in displeasure:

"We were just good friends who worked together before. Why do you want to kill me and dominate the endless sea after not seeing each other for a few days? You bastard, stop pretending. You have something to talk about today."

"oh?"

Gaboa looked at Black, the dog pirate who was having sex with Xalataslang, and then at the helpless black knight Eredin.

He slowly tasted something, waved his hand to let the wind elemental guards disperse, took out a bottle of wine and threw it to Eredin, and then said in a low and suspicious voice:

"So, this is another game?"

The troll pirate touched his fangs and said:

"What kind of dirty deal have we, the Quiet Ones, made with Sargeras? Who are you showing this to? Let the wolf enter the house! Could it be that we must use the hands of demons to clean out the disobedient bilge rats and create a new world in Azeroth?" A world of evil gods?

Hey, great thing!

I've long been unhappy with those landlubbers, count me in!

Lord Black, just tell me, wherever you want me to go, the entire cursed fleet will go, no matter what. I don’t ask for much. After you achieve great things in the future, just call me the ‘King of Trolls’. "

"Shut up, you have such a rich imagination, why don't you become a mage?"

Black kicked the incoherent troll pirate, and ran his fingers over Xal'atath's body, making Xal'atath tremble with laughter, and said in a longer voice:

"It's true that the demon invasion is true, and it's true that they want to destroy the world, but it's true that Lord Sargeras and I have a plan. These are three things that need to be discussed separately.

I came here today to ask for your help, so I won’t waste any more nonsense.

Mechagon has stocked up on a batch of 'goods'. Get them over as quickly as possible and take people on a tour around the eastern continent. If you are told to act, you will act.

When the landlubbers can't stand it, you come too.

Although pirates and officials are at odds with each other, this is not the time to distinguish between good and evil. If this is done well, it is a great achievement. As for the things in the depths, don’t ask. The level is too low to participate.

Anyway, just wait and watch the show. "

Having said this, Black rubbed his chin, rolled his eyes and smacked the two big guys in the current Azeroth pirate circle, and twitched his fingers to make them pay attention.

He whispered:

"Of course we have to live up to our expectations in the pirate business. Let me ask you, are you interested in becoming a big one?"
