The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"The intruder is here!"

The deafening roar accompanied the heavy steps of the sea giant, striding close to the demon hunter, the end of the entangled iron rope in his hand was connected to the blood-stained anchor. Zelin sighed heavily. The sea giant in front of him was more than five meters tall, and traces of scratches could be seen on his thick skin. Zelin believes that the ebony blade can cause damage to the sea giant. This monster is very large, but it is not the first time that the Demon Hunter has dealt with such a huge monster.

The sea giant drew closer, Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at his leg. The most important thing to deal with giant monsters is how to attack the difficult areas of the opponent, and flexibly avoid the enemy's large-scale attacks. Maybe he can...

Before Zelin could think about a strategy, a fireball with a diameter of more than two meters suddenly appeared behind him, and it blasted the sea giant's face head-on. The sea giant roared in pain and staggered back several steps as he was hit by the impact of the fireball. Immediately afterwards, more fireballs rained down on the sea giant and the bay behind it. The naga were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and before they could react, the bay became a sea of ​​flames.

Zelin turned around, and the figure of Prince Farodis floated on the sea behind him.

"Leave it to me here, your companion is safe." Farodis raised his wand, and a group of more dazzling meteorites appeared in the sky above: "You attracted them all, and waited for me to deal with them. I will meet you at the place we agreed before."

The next moment, the meteorite hit the beach heavily, and the rising flame instantly engulfed the Murloc camp.

Chapter 2180: Valeira's News

One fireball after another fiercely smashed into the Naga camp, and the burst of fire light reflected half of the sky and went straight into the sky. The wailing and screams were faintly audible from nearly a hundred meters away.

Zelin panted lightly and looked back at the Naga camp that was plunged into a sea of ​​flames. Vanessa followed him, staring at the Naga army that had been swallowed by the flames. After about one hundred and fifty meters away, they stopped and turned back to look at the chaotic beach that was thrown into chaos due to a sudden attack. These naga didn't even know where the attack came from. Perhaps they never thought that the attacker had only one ghost.

They backed away as they watched. No one would worry about Naga catching up at this time, and these invaders are now too busy to take care of themselves. Many slaves took the opportunity to escape. Although Prince Farodis was only one person, the effect he caused was like an offensive launched by an army. After a while, Vanessa spoke slowly.

"This is your uncrowned helper in Azsuna? Your uncrowned one has allies in the Broken Isles."

Zelin glanced at the thief on the side and shrugged. "There are some things you don't need to ask more. Anyway, you are still alive, that's enough."

"I thought you would listen to your princess and just figure out a way to kill me in the mission." Vanessa pinched her waist with one hand and squinted her eyes slightly. "Tell me, what on earth do you want to do? What benefits can you get if you defy your princess?"

"There are many things that are not good, Vanessa." Zelin stared at the distant sea of ​​fire. "I just never did anything to kill anyone. If I hate you, I will tell you. If I have any reason to kill you, I will tell you and kill you. Honestly, I I don’t like what you do. But since you were sent to fight with me against the Burning Legion, unless you decide to betray me, I will continue to treat you as a teammate."

"There won't be any nobleman or slave owner who likes what I do." Vanessa snorted, and she put her hands across her chest, looking into the distance like a demon hunter. "I won't do it to you unless you decide to betray me. You saved me once, so when you betray me for the first time, I won't kill you directly."

"Thank you for your kindness." Zelin stared at Vanessa with slanted eyes. "If the Fabron family can also enjoy my treatment, it will definitely be happier."

Vanessa was silent.

"What's the matter, don't you justify yourself a few words?"

"I never quibble." Vanessa said coldly.

Suddenly, white light flashed, and the figure of Prince Farodis appeared in front of the demon hunter. It looks the same as before, with a relaxed look.

"I think the naga should learn a lesson. They can no longer attack Azsuna in a short time, unless Queen Azshara decides to send more naga to die." Farodis' voice was calm, nothing like it. An army has just been settled. "I must go back as soon as possible, lest Elise and the others doubt it."

"I don't understand, Your Highness." Zelin asked curiously. "You can kill Naga's army directly. Why do your people still suspect that you want to surrender to Queen Azshara?"

"I know why Azshara is attacking Azsuna." Farodis narrowed his eyes slightly. "Back then, I used a powerful artifact, the Tidestone, to try to destroy the portal located in the Well of Eternity through long-range spells. The Tidestone is one of the pillars of creation. Its power is very powerful. I thought I was relying on it. It can resist Azshara’s power. As a result, I found that I was too arrogant. Azshara’s magic directly defeated me and turned all my people into ghosts. But her minions remained until the end of the War of the Ancients I didn’t find the whereabouts of the Tidestone. Only I knew where the Pillar of Creation was hidden. I didn’t tell anyone, including Elise. So they suspected that I was going to exchange the Tidestone for Azshara’s forgiveness."

"But what are you actually going to do?"

"The Pillar of Creation must be used by the right people. Once it falls into the hands of the Burning Legion or Queen Azshara, I can't imagine the consequences." Prince Farodis sighed. "I can't extravagantly ask my people for forgiveness. My arrogance made them look like they are now cursed. I thought that even if I failed, Azshara would only attack me. As a result, she was crazy at that time. I should have thought that when she allowed the demons to slaughter the ordinary residents of the city, she would no longer be our king. But I can’t tell anyone where the Tidestone is, sorry, including you. I saw you fighting Azshara, but you are not strong enough to keep the Tidestone. This artifact is dangerous and important."

"Believe me, Your Highness, until the end, your people will understand your kindness." Zelin has no opinion on what Farodis said. He knows how much his power is and how powerful the Tidestone is. He has nothing to do with it. What's more, he didn't want to involve too much in Azeroth. It's dangerous here. If Tess hadn't doubted him, he would have left with the Ethereal. "However, your Highness, according to your strength, you can attack the Naga directly when they attack Azsuna. I think Captain Elise is very nervous about this."

"Because Naga can't hurt my subjects at all." Farodis raised his sword eyebrows. "Unless they decide to send a wizard to deal with them, I will definitely do it when the time comes. Okay, we should go back. I will return by teleportation. When you return to my court, remember to tell Elise about this. You did it."

Zelin turned his head and looked at the camp that was still burning.

"I don't think they will believe that I can do it this way."

"You have a tool that can create explosions. I remember this is called engineering, right?" Farodis pointed to the parcel bag around Zelin's waist. "I know they will doubt it anyway, but it doesn't make much sense. Let's go, it's almost dawn."

When Zelin and Vanessa returned to the Fallen Palace of the Palace of Farodis, the guards here were on alert, staring vigilantly at the direction of the fire and explosion. After seeing Zelin appear, Captain Elise immediately found him.

"What happened in the slave fence?" The captain's question was straightforward, and she glanced at Vanessa who was following Zelin. "Have you found your companion?"

"Yes, she was captured by Naga. Fortunately, I was able to find her and created some chaos in the Naga camp." Zelin patted the package. "Engineering bombs, these things that can create flames are very useful against naga."

"As far as I know, the Naga Sea Witch can easily extinguish the flames with magic." The captain looked up and down the demon hunter suspiciously. "How did you deal with the sea witch?"

"I have no plans to deal with anyone." Zelin shook his head, his face was normal, and there was no sign of lying. Vanessa folded her hands on her chest and rolled her eyes. "My purpose is to rescue people, not to kill many naga. Captain, is the prince there? I'm here to return the magic necklace he gave me. Thanks to this necklace, otherwise I might be patrolled by the sea. The giant has found it."

Elise stared straight into the eyes of the demon hunter, as if to see something in it. In the end, she withdrew her inquisitive gaze and raised her finger to the inside of the palace: "His Royal Highness is in the back garden. But before you leave, I can tell you a good news. Not long after you left, a person who returned today The sentry reported that she noticed a pandaman and a blood elf in Azsuna three days ago."

"Tao Shi? Valeira?" Zelin immediately thought of the Pandaren of the Shado-Pan faction: "Is this the name?"

"My sentry did not approach, but the last time she saw the Pandaren, they were near the Evil Flame Pass, which is the long bridge to the Evil Soul Fortress to the east."

"Thank you, I understand." Zelin nodded.

This news is very important to him. Tao Shi and Valeira arrived in Azsuna together, which may mean that they might have found it in the demon camp in Fanaror, and maybe the Shaw they were looking for was imprisoned in the Evil Soul Fortress.

Chapter 2181 Infiltrating the Evil Soul Fortress

In the end, Farodis didn't want to return the enchanted necklace to Zelin. This necklace had already completed the task for him.

By the dawn of the next day, Zelin and Vanessa went to the direction of the Evil Soul Fortress.

The place where Azsuna connects with Suramar is divided by a gorge, and the river originating from Valsala passes through the gorge and merges into the sea. There is a long bridge over this canyon, located in the ruins of Zachnar's Net. This was originally the temple used by Suramar’s Nightborns to collect magical energy, but later this magic web node, like many nodes in Suramar, was abandoned and later occupied by the exiled withered.

The demon set up a camp outside the ruins of the magic web, and the Evil Flame Pass controlled the main road from Azsuna to Suramar. According to Captain Elise, to enter the Evil Soul Citadel, one must avoid the demon scouts in the Evil Flame Pass camp.

This was originally a demon reconnaissance camp. The guardians of Azsuna launched a tentative attack on it, but it was quickly repelled by demon reinforcements coming from Suramar, so they moved south of the Evil Flame Pass. Established strongholds in the abandoned temple to monitor the devil’s every move. According to the situation reported by the Sentinel during the last investigation, the demons that appeared there included Hellhounds, Hell Guardians, and Voidwalkers. According to the number of imps, there might be a ghost mother who could drive imps. During this period of time, the number of demons in the Felflame Pass Camp has been increasing.

Captain Elise suspected that the demon might be preparing to attack Azsuna from the east and west together with his family in the Faronaar camp. Had it not been for the Naga invasion in the south to separate the demons from the Faronaar camp, Elise would almost have ordered all the sentries and guardians located in various strongholds to be recalled to build a line of defense to deal with the upcoming war.

Excluding the Evil Flame Pass, Elise also provided another piece of information. If according to him, Zelin climbed the cliff to bypass the Naga camp on the beach when he sneaked into the Naga slave enclosure, then he could also try to challenge the cliff south of the Evil Soul Fortress.

The southern part of Evil Soul Fortress is close to the coastline, and if you take a boat from the sea, you can directly bypass the Evil Flame Pass. This is the most convenient, but it is the most dangerous. The edge of the Evil Soul Fortress is adjacent to the city of Suramar. Although the Nightborne will not go out to sea by boat, their guards have been monitoring the sea, and any ships that do not belong to the Nightborne will be attacked.

"So you think this boat can hide the two of us?" As she rowed the boat to the beach, Vanessa threw the oars and took a heavy breath. "Do you treat Suramar's guards as blind? Just cover yourself with a box to avoid detection? Or hide in vases and baskets and they will run past you stupidly?"

"I don't want to treat anyone as a fool." Zelin put down the oars, and before setting off, he retrieved the canoe that exiled the Nightborne. Fortunately, when he found the canoe, there was no damage to the canoe itself except for the two seagulls standing upright on it. "But I didn't even have the idea of ​​rushing into Suramar City in a canoe. I just want to get close to the Evil Soul Fortress. As far as I know, there is a magic barrier outside Suramar City. The edges of the barrier are full of patrol guards and magic structures. , I’m not going to try to challenge them."

Vanessa stretched out her thumb and pointed behind her: "You don't need to repeat it, my eyes are not blind yet."

In the distance, a huge light blue magical barrier, like a bowl buckled upside down on the sea, enveloped the port city.

"So hurry up and pick up the oars. We have to turn." Zelin looked at the mouth of the river not far away. On both sides are towering cliffs. If the map is correct, the valley to the west of the river was originally a basin, and the fortress of the Burning Legion fell from the sky to transform the basin into their stronghold. The demon hunter didn't understand why the fortress could fall from the sky, but the process was not important, he knew that the Evil Soul Fortress was just on the other side of the cliff. "Pad the boat over and lean on the beach next to the entrance to the sea."

"You have the final say." Vanessa sighed and raised the oar again. In her opinion, all these plans are so crazy and terrible. Infiltrate the demon fortress, save people and retreat. In her opinion, the person caught by the devil has no chance of surviving. "Then, climb up?"

"Yes." Ze Lin. "Then climb up."

There is a shallow shoal about two meters wide next to the river flowing into the sea. Behind the shallows are steep cliffs. When approaching the shallows, Zelin and Vanessa jumped off the boat together and pushed the boat onto the beach to avoid being washed away by the sea. It is very hidden here, and it is estimated that even the demons in the Evil Soul Fortress would not have thought that someone would approach their fortress in such a place. The steep cliffs are a natural barrier for the fortress, which can block all the ships coming from the sea. There may not be many people who can cope with such a natural barrier.

Except Zelin.

Standing on the shallows, Ze Lin raised his head, looked at the cliff above, and moved his wrists.
