Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"call out"

When the capable B Company soldiers fought their way out of the hall occupied by a group of orcs and broke out of the cage in Blackrock Tower, the leading Alliance elite soldier, Corporal John J. Kissane, suddenly heard a sharp whistle.

He wiped the blood on his face, glanced to the side, and saw the weird Alliance assassin from before, sitting in a leisurely manner on the stone bridge on the edge of the Black Stone Tower.

That was the bridge that was blown apart by last night's explosion, and the assassin was leaning in the shadow beside the bridge pier.

At his feet was an abyss hundreds of meters high, with a pool of bubbling magma below. Unless he was a giant dragon that could swim in the magma, he would be dead if he fell into it.

"Not bad, seven minutes and thirty-four seconds. Although the opponents are a group of old, weak and sick, they are still orcs after all. I now believe that you are the elite of the alliance."

Blake looked at this group of lone warriors.

All of them were injured, but they all had weapons in their hands, which they had snatched from the orcs. There were two other guys who were seriously injured while fighting the orcs, and were being carried by their companions, half dead.

The leader, Corporal Keeshan, was even more brave. Not only was his body covered in blood, but even the war bow string in his hand was dripping with blood. He must have strangled an orc alive with this thing just now.

"follow me."

A fight left these guys gasping for breath.

By the time the adrenaline rush wears off, it's time for them to burn out.

Blake didn't waste any time. He gestured to the group and led them around several sentries in Blackstone Tower, passing through the elbows of the dwarf statues carved on the mountain by the Dark Iron dwarves.

This is the "employee channel" for players in the game.

"Next, I will take you to Shadowforge City, which is the only place where you can leave Blackstone Mountain at the moment."

As the pirate led the group of alliance warriors onto the rickety giant iron rope, he said to behind him:

"Have you learned about covert operations? If someone makes a noise later and attracts the Dark Iron Dwarves to pursue you, don't blame me for giving up on you."

"who are you?"

The vigilant Corporal Keeshan put his war bow on his back, nimbly walked on the iron rope with his body down, and asked in a low voice:

"Is he from MI7?"

"Do you think the assassins under that little loser Mathias Shore can come and go freely in Blackstone Mountain under the current conditions like me?"

Blake asked rhetorically:

"Is MI7 so powerful in your heart?"

This rhetorical question silenced Corporal Keeshan.

Indeed, in the previous missions he had cooperated with MI7, the assassins were indeed capable, but they did not have such great powers.

The assassin in front of him must be a very powerful person.

Blake led the elite members of Company B along the iron cable from the Blackstone Tower to the center of the hollowed-out mountain of Blackstone Mountain, where a lonely platform stood in the magma pool.

"It was originally connected by a bridge and a platform with a large ring around it."

The pirate jumped onto the platform, pointed to the chains and broken bridge marks around him, and said to the Alliance soldiers behind him like a tour guide:

"Blackstone Tower was originally part of Shadowforge City, but after the orcs seized Blackstone Tower as their base, the Dark Iron dwarves took the initiative to blow up the bridge.

The orcs can't attack, but the dwarves have drilling machines that can come and go freely. Those drilling machines that can dig tunnels underground are the tools we left behind.

Are there any assassins among you? "

He asked, and the corporal immediately replied:

"Yes, sir, we have three assassins."

"Sir?"

This title made Blake smile. He glanced at Keeshan, who was standing straight and maintaining a military posture, and said:

"Okay, have your assassins follow me. After we clear the road, you can follow."

There were three assassins in the crowd behind him. They followed Blake and sneaked to the stone steps below the platform. Compared to the pirate's amazing stealth skills, these three soldiers were inferior.

But it's enough in a dark place with little sunlight inside Blackstone Tower.

"You all know how to fight sap, you don't need to teach me. Just fight sap all the way. The Dark Iron Dwarf troops are preparing to attack Blackstone Tower, and the barracks in Shadowforge City are all empty.

be careful.

If you are discovered, solve the problem yourself.

Or solve yourself. "

After saying that, Blake took the lead and rushed out.

He grabbed a wooden stick in his hand and hit the black iron sentry in front with a bang on the back of the head, causing the dark dwarf to roll his eyes and fall to the ground.

He dragged the unconscious dwarf into the corner next to him, stretched out his hand and fired a steal.

He found a small wallet, shook it by his ear, and threw it into the bag with satisfaction. Then Shadow Step appeared behind another sentry and hit him with a stick again.

The sap skill is very useful.

The knowledgeable high-level assassins are all very capable of knowing how to strike with a sap, and can knock people out just right without harming their lives.

In the current situation, it is more efficient than assassination.

Dwarves have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult to kill them with one hit. However, they are also humanoid creatures, and the back of their heads is also a vulnerable point. As long as the attack is more accurate, they will be knocked unconscious.

At first, the three assassins were a little unskilled, but soon they figured out the dwarf's weaknesses under Blake's superb skills and teachings, and started playing sap happily.

Of course, pirate teaching comes at a price.

After they knocked out the dwarf, all the rewards from the search and theft were given to Black.

This is like using three assassins as tools, but they just saved his life, and now they are running away with him. In front of such a great favor, it's just a little money.

The fact is as Black predicted, the Black Iron Emperor Thaurissan, with his elite army, is besieging the lower level of Black Rock Tower to regain his territory.

The military camp in Shadowforge City was empty.

There were only a few garrison troops patrolling back and forth, and it was easy for Blake, a "local snake", to sneak in with the B Company and others.

They sneaked through the eastern military camp, and under the precise guidance of the pirates, they passed the Order Arena where the Dark Iron dwarves usually used for slave gladiatorial battles, and then followed the empty corridor to the golem workshop.

Black stole a few drawings of the Dark Iron Dwarves' battle golems from the workshop, intending to sell them back to the mages of Dalaran.

"I can't believe you know this city so well."

After walking through the golem workshop, Corporal Keeshan, who was following Blake, exclaimed:

"If you were not a human, I would even think that you were born in the Dark Iron Dwarves' Shadowforge City. Have you been here before?"

"This is just like my home."

The pirate curled his lips and said in an exaggerated tone:

"I know how to go even with your eyes closed. If you want to have an exciting time, I can even take you around Thaurissan's palace.

But it is estimated that a few warriors will have to die to serve as bait for us to lure away the enemy. "

"Well, let's do it next time. It's important to escape."

Keshan grinned. He grabbed the war bow, looked around, and asked again:

"Sir, where should we go next?"

"Ahead, the Black Iron Bar."

Blake pointed to the door in front of him. A few hundred meters away, there was a harsh noise coming from inside. It sounded like a group of loud dwarves having a carnival inside. It was very lively.

"If I remember correctly, there is a civilian drilling machine in the warehouse of the bar. It is the only big machine in the entire Shadowforge City that is not guarded by Dark Iron Dwarf soldiers.

Let me ask you, are you familiar with bar fights? "

Blake asked. Corporal Keeshan and the soldiers around him laughed in a low voice. The brave corporal coughed and said:

"When the orcs didn't come, we people were regulars at the bars in Lakeside Town. We understand this very well, sir."

"That's good."

The pirate whistled and said:

"Then we'll fight as soon as we get in. The more chaotic the situation, the better. Pick a few smart ones and take the opportunity to sneak into the warehouse and start the drilling machine."

After saying that, he threw five or six smoke bombs used by assassins to Keishaan, set up a demonic teleportation array that could go straight into the Black Iron Bar, jumped into the shadows, and went into the noisy bar in front of him with the three assassins. past.

The Dark Iron Bar is located in the center of Shadowforge City. A group of Dark Iron slave traders gathered here are the wealthy class under the rule of Emperor Daglan Thaurissan.

They never expected that someone would break through all the obstacles and enter here.

After the four assassins entered the bar, these black iron slave owners were still drinking ale in large quantities to the accompaniment of harsh music. Some drunk guys had already jumped on the table and started dancing.

Hey, the dwarf’s dancing is really...

The pirate found it annoying.

He casually picked up a bottle of wine from the table and threw it towards the liveliest crowd without even looking at it.

"boom"

There was a crisp sound, and the wine bottle exploded on the head of a bald dwarf. The strong wine was scattered everywhere. The guy who was attacked roared, grabbed the tomahawk at hand, and looked for the attacker drunkenly.

The other three assassins also followed suit, picking up wine bottles and smashing them around, which soon triggered a big fight among a group of drunkards.

Keeshan and others who were waiting outside heard the chaos inside, so they jumped into the bar through the devil's portal, and were all dizzy by the rough teleportation.

But while lying on the ground, he also threw out the smoke bomb in his hand.

As the acrid smoke rose, the bar became more chaotic.

After the group of people recovered, they couldn't help but pick up the chairs around them and smash them everywhere, completely escalating the fight.

"Hahaha, I just like this kind of excitement! After a big battle, it would be great to have a drinking and brawling."

The pirate stood on the wine table and smashed a bottle on the head of the screaming dwarf boss.

With blood splattering everywhere, he laughed again and grabbed a bottle of wine from the back of the wine cabinet, bit open the cork, and took a gulp of it into his mouth.

This wine was brewed by the Dark Iron Dwarves. It felt like drinking a ball of lava. The alcohol content was unknown. Anyway, after drinking half the bottle, Blake entered an alcoholic state.

"Phew, black iron liquor, great!"

He roared happily, jumped down from the wine cabinet with the bottle in hand, knocked a female dwarf to the ground with one punch, overturned the table next to him, and knocked down several drunk dwarves.

Pirates don't use weapons either.

Just use your fists and any tools at hand to punch anyone who comes to you.

Broken wine bottles, bloody folding stools, fists stained with wine, chaotic screams, brave laughter, and excitement full of the aroma of wine, this is the essence of a bar fight.

Any brawler who uses a weapon is a bunch of cowards!

They said they were going to lead the Alliance warriors to escape from Blackstone Mountain, but instead, the pirates themselves got caught up in the fun of a big fight.

By the time Keeshan and the others found and started up the stupid, big, thick black iron drilling machine in the warehouse of the Black Iron Bar, Blake had already knocked over half of the dwarf drunkards in the bar with his bare hands.

By the way, he violently smashed open the wine cellar of the Black Iron Bar.

With a group of drunkards who didn't know how to get along with him, he rushed into the wine cellar and moved out box after box of the best black iron spirits in the bar.

Among the three backpacks that Blake carries with him, one is specially used to hold wine.

He took advantage of the chaos and put several boxes of wine into his backpack, then rolled up his sleeves drunkenly, and took the little fishman who was also drunk, planning to continue to have a few lively games.

As a result, he was found by Kishaan who had been punched several times in the face, and he was half dragged and half dragged into the warehouse.

"Hey, friends, I'm leaving. If I don't have fun this time, I'll come back and fight with you next time!"

The drunken Blake grabbed the handle of the started drilling machine, waved to a group of black iron drunkards chasing behind him, and threw the half-drunk bottle towards them.

It hit a dwarf in the eye, causing the unfortunate guy to be covered in blood and fell to the ground.

Amidst the laughter of the drunkard pirates, the terrifying drilling machine rumbled and penetrated into the tunnel dug below. Amidst the shouts and curses of the black iron drunkards, it disappeared into Shadowforge City.

Um.

What a fulfilling evening it was.
