22. Demon Slayer (I)
The headquarters camp of the First Expeditionary Legion, very close to the shade of the trees, in the previous melee between the nightmare dragons and demons, the demons in this area were almost swept away by the dragons, coupled with the arrival of the elusive bronze dragon recruits, Dick's First Expeditionary Corps quickly gained a foothold in the easternmost part of the Gray Valley. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first thing they did was blow up the bridge from Azhara to Ashenvale, the craft of the Ancient Elven Empire, unbelievably stable, in fact, blowing up the stone bridge of incredible width used up almost all the gunpowder of the Dwarven mortar squad of the First Expeditionary Force, and it was only with the help of the mysterious mountain giants that they barely managed to do it all.
But in terms of effect alone, it's still worth it!
The edge of Ashen Valley and Aishara are separated by 180-200 meters, there are two dangerous cliffs, and below is the endless Raging Water River, and the demons without wings can't jump at all, and the mages from Quel'Salas also locked the space within the original stone bridge for the first time, and the demons are densely packed on the edge of Aishara, but except for those powerful but cumbersome demon cannons, a few demons with wings, and the threat of gargoyles of the Scourge Legion, the camp of the First Expedition is impregnable!
As long as the Orcs of Durontar connected to Azhara do not collapse, Dick's side has no chance of being attacked on his back.
But this does not mean that the 1st Expeditionary Force has nothing to do.
In fact, it has taken a lot of energy for the expeditionary force to capture the small group of demons that have been scattered on the battlefield in the Eastern District, and even the largest demon distribution center in the Eastern Battlefield-Fireblade Canyon, Dick has no extra strength to annihilate and sweep away.
And according to the letter sent by Thrall two days ago, there is likely to be a big move on the orc's side!
Although Dick didn't have much malice towards the orcs, in order to take care of the opinions of his subordinates, Dick also had to make a business attitude with the orcs, but fortunately, the First Expeditionary Force saw the threat of the demon with their own eyes, and no one mentioned the blood feud with the orcs anymore.
After quietly returning to the command with a group of watchman girls, Dick finally had two days of peace, and on this morning, the paladin had just sat up from the bed when a blue shadow appeared in Dick's room, and then the figure of the eldest lady appeared in the same place.
"Hey, little villain, did you miss me?"
At such a delicate time, how can language catch up with the action?
The paladin in a single coat took the eldest lady into her arms, and the young couple, who had been separated for less than 10 days, soon entered a state of confusion, but when Liadelin walked into Dick's office with a hot breakfast, the blushing eldest lady sat in a chair in a formal manner, and Dick, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sat behind a simple desk.
Liadrin's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She greeted the eldest lady with great grace.
"Hello, Miss Gianna. ”
A woman's instinct made the eldest lady feel that something was wrong, but looking at Dick, who had almost buried her entire face on the plate, she just glanced at it suspiciously, and then smiled, and reached out to hug Liadrin,
"I miss you so much, Sister Liadrin~MUA~"
Dick secretly raised his head to look at the eye-catching scenery of the two beauties hugging each other and kissing, and couldn't help but touch his nose, and the idea of killing a dog with a firewood knife flashed in his mind, making the paladin shudder, but he quickly focused on business.
"Speaking of which, Gianna, aren't you preparing for the mage base in Theramore, why do you have time to come to me?"
When the mage lady heard this, she let go of Liadeline, took out a letter made of the leaves of the World Tree from her storage space, handed it to Dick, and then said with a puzzled expression,
"A messenger of the elves gave this letter to Kalia, and she said that the First Expeditionary Force was under your sole control, so she asked me to deliver it to you. ”
Gianna touched her long blonde hair as she spoke, and Dick, who opened the letter, turned gloomy for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Liadline quietly walked up to Dick, and took the opportunity to clean up the plate, three slender fingers pinched Dick's waist, and then turned hard.
"Yikes...!"
Dick jumped up, and before Gianna could react, Dick threw the letter made of leaves on the table, and said loudly,
"Tyrande really has an opinion about me! I thought she was weird the last time we met!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Liadrin's buttocks with the help of his body, and then walked out of the desk quickly, walking back and forth around the house, as he walked, as if thinking quickly,
"They want to let Theramore set up a coalition defensive camp in Mount Hyjal, but Garrod knows that in the First Expeditionary Force, there are elite troops in Theramore, just like Kaliya said, this letter should be sent directly to me, but they sent it to Kaliah, and Tyrande also suggested in the letter that Kalia transfer me back to Theramore and replace it with a new general, what a vulgar discord!"
Hearing Dick's words, the eldest lady's face also became ugly,
"These elves are so hateful! We are kind enough to help them, and they still have such plans, could it be that Garrod, don't you say that he is very good at this?"
Dick shook his head,
"No, according to Garrod's character, he wouldn't do that, I suspect, Tyrande... But I'm curious, why did she target me like this, she shouldn't be such a small-bellied person, right?"
Everyone acquiesced, and a trace of worry appeared on Gianna's pretty face.
As the royal daughter of Kul Tiras, although Gianna grew up in Dalaran since she was a child, when she occasionally returned to her homeland, she had seen too many political tricks in the court, and now even the people she liked were surrounded by such tricks.
But Dick soon said that the matter was suppressed for the time being, and that he had more important things to do.
Dick's gaze turned, he picked up the cold glass of water from the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then set his eyes on the eldest lady Gianna.
"My darling, I now appoint you as the commander of the First Expeditionary Regiment in Mount Hyjal, with Liadline as your lieutenant, and you are fully responsible for the establishment of the human position in Mount Hyjal. ”
"Remember, be sure to put the fixed portal of the human camp and the First Expeditionary Corps in a hidden place, and if the demon attacks, you will immediately retreat, and Erigor and they will go to replace yours at any time!
This pun made Gianna's worried gaze firm, and where the eldest lady couldn't see, Liadline also grabbed Dick's palm, and a line of words was gently drawn on Dick's palm.
"I'll protect her..."
This touched Dick's heart, but he felt guilty, he reached out and quietly touched Liadeline's long hair, and then said to them,
"I'll be going to see you soon..."
"Is there anything you want to do? Dick?"
Gianna looked up at the paladin, who touched his nose and glanced up at the location of the western part of Ash Valley.
"Yes, the orcs invited me to a "hunt", although... Anyway, I have to go. ”
The orcs have this custom, Dick is aware, in the game progression to the "King of Draenor" expansion, players can through the time portal, into the world of Draenor 30 years ago, at that time, the orc tribe was undergoing upheaval, and you are also the last preparation period for the orcs to invade Azeroth.
So frankly speaking, Dick actually knows more about the customs of orcs than the current Great Chieftain Thrall, after all, Thrall was raised by General Blackmore in a human way since he was a child.
When Thrall took Grom, Varlock, and 100 elite wolf knights across the war zone to the camp built by the knights, it was already starry and moonless.
Dick personally greeted Thrall at the gate of the camp, of course, except for Dick, the other paladins still did not have a good face for these orcs, they were just fulfilling their responsibilities as allies.
The Overseer didn't care, and he rolled over and dismounted... Turning over the wolf, the tall orc stepped forward and gave Dick a hug, and Wallock could feel Dick's kindness to the orc, which was the instinct of a high-ranking warrior, so his senses for Dick changed quickly.
However, Vallock soon turned his gaze to the two strange elves behind Dick, looking at their owl helmets and the knife wheel in their hands, and Wallock asked in a low voice,
"Who are these two?"
"Oh, they're reinforcements I specially invited, and they're professionals in the face of high-level demons!"
Dick snorted and shook the presence of Merlin and Mirana, and the orc overseer didn't say anything, and the paladin waved his hand,
"Follow me, friend, I'm ready with all the information!"
A few minutes later, the center of the expeditionary force camp, inside the command room.
Thrall, dressed in shaman's robes, handed a map of animal skins to Wallock, Grom sat on the side, sharpening his battle axe with a whetstone, and Erigor stood behind Dick, watching the orcs wary, as a veteran, he could certainly see that the three heroes of the orcs were ready to slaughter the demons like crazy.
Seeing this, even Erigor had to admit that the orcs' fanaticism and fearless courage in battle were indeed worth learning from!
Dick waited until the three orc heroes had finished reading the map, and then he spoke,
"After Thrall sent an emissary, I commissioned the Green Dragon Legion to search the vicinity before confirming that it... Maloneos is now hiding in the deepest part of the Fireblade Canyon, it fought with Terral before, although it is victorious, but the green dragon is not easy to mess with, that demon is recuperating, this is a good opportunity! I will take the knights and go to the Fireblade Canyon with you!"
Thrall nodded, the people of the clan were plagued by "toxemia", and it was rare that now he had a chance to relieve the disease, and he would not miss the opportunity for revenge, but he heard Dick say again,
"But the Green Dragon Legion flies to Azhara every day to carry out air raids on the demons, and the Emerald Dragons who can confront Malones head-on have their own affairs, so the Green Dragons may not be of much help in besieging the Abyss Lord..."
"I don't need their help!"
A trace of excitement flashed in Grom's scarlet eyes, he put the sharp blade of the battle axe to his mouth, blew, and listened to the sound of the blade, the orc sword master said in a deep voice,
"This is the war of the orcs, this is my war with that demon, we will do it ourselves!"
Wallock also spoke,
"Dick, don't participate in this hunt, you've done enough for us! The orcs won't forget your help, but Grom is right, this is our war, there's no reason to involve you!"
In the end, even Thrall was persuading, "Dick, as the commander of the human expeditionary force, you are really not suitable to rush to the front line with us, orcs have no tradition of shedding the blood of their friends!"
The corners of Dick's mouth twitched, and he understood the meaning of Sal's words, indeed, in the fight against the destroyer Maloneus, an enemy of such an epic hero, he was really not very useful as a lord, and even the orcs were distracted to save him.
However, the orcs' claim of revenge is not hypocritical, and the troll Wojin did not follow him this time, and Thrall assigned him to build a second line of defense in Mount Hyjal.
But Dick also has a reason to go, the mysterious power left by Nogannon, since Dick joined the Second Demon War, the release of missions has become very frequent, and the difficulty of the task has skyrocketed, the last time he was threatened by Illanicus, rescued Ysera, this time it was even more excessive.
"Drop... Trigger the quest, "Demon Slayer"
"The right-hand man of the archdemon Akmund, Maronus the Saboteur, lurks in the Fireblade Canyon as the most famous battle to slay demons in history is about to begin, a symbol of the end of the orc catastrophe and perhaps a sight you should not miss. ”
"Description: Participate in the Demon Slaying War and guarantee the death of Maloneus!"
"Reward: ???"
