13. Spirit Wing Floating Island
In the game, the Void Drake appears as a mount.
It is said that only the bravest warriors are entitled to their favor and ride them on the borders of the world, but the reality is not so beautiful at all, and there are not so many legends about warriors and dragons.
The Void Dragon was originally just an ordinary black dragon, to be precise, a black dragon egg, Deathwing had reached Draenor through the Dark Gate during the Second Orc War, and he carried a batch of black dragon eggs, ready to be hatched in Draenor, which had not been destroyed at that time, as a second hiding place for the Black Dragon Legion.
Deathwing's strategy was quite clever, but unfortunately, after the orc shaman Nao Zu, who was frantically evading the demon's pursuit, desperately opened too many portals to the void, the entire world of Draenor completely collapsed, and became the current world withered.
Deathwing's plan failed, but it didn't fail completely... These black dragon eggs did not die after receiving the radiation of the super-huge amount of Void power, on the contrary, the first mutated dragons were born from them, and they were the original Void Baby Dragons.
The most powerful of them was Niles Agoura, and as the first truly adult Void Dragon, it became the Dragon King of the Void Dragon, even if its strength was not even comparable to that of an ordinary heroic dragon.
However, Niles still takes good care of his race, and since Deathwing left this place before Draenor was shattered, the newborn Void Dragons could not be cared for by powerful forces, and they had to find a way out of the broken ruins of the world of Draenor.
"These dragons... It's weird. ”
Archmage Luo Ning frowned and looked at the young dragon looming in the void, relying on his outstanding eyesight, he could naturally see the orcs riding on the bodies of those young dragons, and those orcs had a sign on their armor that Luo Ning was very familiar with.
Dragonthroat Orcs... Of course, it's not the Dragonmaw born in Azeroth that has lost its most crucial inheritance, but the real Dragonmaw, the daring Dragonmaw Orcs who imprisoned the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa and drove the dragons to fight for them.
"I didn't expect them to be still thriving in the broken world of Draenor!"
Wen Lesa stood beside her husband, the High Elf Ranger's eyesight was stronger than Ronin's, and she could naturally see the strange dragon carrying the dragon-throated orcs into the ethereal void.
Unlike the scaly dragons of Azeroth, the Void Dragons have no scales on their bodies, instead they have a layer of skin as smooth as that of axolotls, no dragon horns on their heads, and even their heads, which don't quite look like the mighty and domineering appearance of dragons, but their body structure is indeed very similar to that of dragons, with huge wings, sharp dragon claws, on both sides of slender necks, and gill-like organs, which is probably the reason why they can survive and reproduce in the void without air.
And another characteristic of the Void Dragon is that their bodies, half real, half illusory, the power of the void is entwined back and forth on their bodies, almost every minute and every second, their bodies are rapidly switching states, every breath will make the magic in the body and the void energy exchange, in the outermost wings, this exchange will pull out two gorgeous arcs in the void.
It's beautiful... Although far inferior to the magic dragon in terms of strength, even Wen Lessa, who has the discerning aesthetic of the High Elves, has to admit that these creatures are really beautiful.
"Keep up with them first!"
Ronin glanced down at the map that Dick had handed him in his own hand, identified the location, and then said to his wife, "The base camp of these orcs and void dragons should be in the depths of the void, and we have to go with them." ”
But the next moment, he saw the strange creation that was placed on the stand next to the two people, and the archmage rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache,
"Can't those goblins develop some normal mounts?"
Wen Leisa's face was also a little strange, she looked at the silver-white one next to her, the whole was a cylindrical shape, in front of it was a steel cone, which was painted into a big shark's mouth with clumsy skills and oil paint, it didn't look fierce at all, but a little joyful, this thing was nearly 20 meters long, had two cockpits, and was equipped with a "special mount" with wings and joysticks, and the words "produced by the Void Space Agency" on it made Wen Lesa feel a little worried.
She thought for a moment and said to her reluctant husband,
"But we all know that ordinary mounts can't survive in the void, and those goblins also pat their chests and say that this thing will definitely not explode, and it can't catch up with those young dragons when they fly with magic... By the way, what's its name?"
Luo Ning looked at the simple operation guide in his hand for the 7th time with a helpless face,
"The X-53 Void Sightseeing Rocket, it is said that in order to operate stealthily, they removed the weapons on it, and added three engines and six soundproof magic circles... Guaranteed not to explode, hehe. ”
And just when Luo Ning and his wife were nervously sitting on the new Void Rocket developed by the Void Space Agency, and went deep into the Spirit Wing Floating Island to investigate, Dick was also busy with his own affairs in Shadowmoon Valley.
He didn't mean to let these heroes do the reconnaissance business in a hurry, in fact, he would have preferred to do it himself if he could, but he couldn't part with it now... Because he's killing people.
The Dragonthroat Orcs have two hiding places in Shadowmoon Valley, and the Spiritwing Floating Island is the base camp, but on the broken cliff northeast of Shadowmoon Valley, there is also a forward base, this base is very cleverly set up, almost obscured by those layers of broken rocks, Illidan just accepts their loyalty, and does not care about the internal affairs of these orcs, he just needs them to fight for him.
And the real chief of the Dragonthroat Orcs, who imprisoned the orc warlocks of Alexstasa with his own hands with the demon's soul, Zuluhid hid here with the most elite warriors, and they also imprisoned the dragon mother of the Void Dragon here.
Well, of course it's not Sinestra in the intelligence, the strength of that dragon mother is a headache even if the current Dick is against it, and the prisoner here is the spouse of the Void Dragon King Niles Agoura, the only dragon mother of the Void Dragon, Kerry Naji.
Zuluhid used the same method he used to treat Alexstasa back then, using a giant magic chain to lock Kairenagi in the fortress and put him under his personal care, and used Kairenagi's life as a bargaining chip to forcibly manipulate the Void Dragon to work for the Dragonthroat Tribe.
From the birth of the Void Dragon to the present, it has only been 20 years since the Void Dragon is full, so the female dragon with the ability to hatch dragon eggs is only one Kerry Naji, and Zulushid's hand is equivalent to being directly stuck in the neck of the Void Dragon, and even Niles has no choice.
Although it is the Void Dragon King, in fact, it is only just coming of age, and it is already very difficult to fight against one Zuluhid, not to mention, there are 3,000 real dragon-throat warriors in this fortress.
Void Dragon, it's too weak...
But now, Niles, who had been hiding in the void and observing the Dragon's Throat fortress, saw a different scene, after a golden, dazzling arc of light, an army of 500 people appeared on the ground of the evil energy bed, the bodies of those warriors were made entirely of steel, tall and strong, and their bodies exuded an icy aura.
Their leader, dressed in silver-white armor and carrying a heavy sword entwined with golden light, was more like a real human than an iron soldier, but Niles saw that the human's left hand slashed forward, and the 500-strong steel army began to charge forward.
The human drew his sword with his backhand and slashed downward, and a blade of holy light that soared into the sky smashed into the gate of the Dragon's Throat Fortress like a real giant war knife, smashing the gate and one-tenth of the fortress into the air in the light of the light.
The dragon-throated orcs were a little stunned by this sudden attack, but after reacting, the orcs chose the most direct way to respond, and the orc cavalry riding the Void Dragon rose from the chaotic fortress, but with a wave of the human's hand, a golden light feather fell from the sky, densely plowing the sky and the ground.
The orcs who had just risen into the air had not yet thrown out even one of their spears, and they fell to the ground with a wail, and the frequency of the attack, with the size of the orc cavalry, could not be dodged at all!
Then the army of steel rushed into the fortress, shouts and wails rang out in the silent void, and the human glanced towards where Niles was hiding, turned and turned into silver lightning and disappeared in place, and the next moment, the terrified roar of the damned orc warlock Zuluhid echoed the battlefield.
Niles felt that he could no longer sit on the sidelines, that his partner was in that fortress, and that he had to save him.
And just when the Void Dragon King appeared, the heavy sword of order in Dick's hand was dripping blood, and less than 10 meters in front of him, an orc warlock holding a white bone staff held his shoulder and looked at him with a gloomy face, the orc's left arm was falling to the ground in the form of charcoal, and the sticky blood was spilled all over the ground, and it also overflowed along Zuluhid's hand.
"It's amazing... You were able to dodge the blow. ”
Dick looked at the old orc in front of him, and an unconcealable tiredness appeared on his old face, in the orc war 20 years ago, Zuluhid was already an old figure in the old tribe, and 20 years later, he had already reached the end of the life of this body.
Not every orc warlock survives after being remembered by the Dragon King, and with the Red Dragon Queen's hatred of him, it is a miracle that Zuluhid can run back from Azeroth to Draenor alive, but if there is no accident, this miracle will come to this day.
"Who are you, how dare you offend Lord Illidan and the majesty of the Dragonthroat Tribe!"
Zuluhid took a cautious step back, as a skilled warlock, even if he lost his left arm, he could still perform magic, a faint black star kept beating behind him, but Dick's eyes did not pay attention to him, instead, the paladin kept looking at the huge void dragon that was bound in place by chains on the large platform behind Zulushid, and was already dying.
A few seconds later, just as Zuluhid's spell was about to be completed, Dick turned his head, and the moment he saw his eyes, Zulushid's body was like a lightning strike, his spirit was almost frozen at this moment, and the magic power that had been manipulating began to be disordered, and the light behind him suddenly went out.
"Hmm..."
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Zulushid's mouth, and Dick raised his sword and whispered,
"Illidan can't control me... As for you, Alex Stasato, I greet you... Don't worry, I'll send your soul intact to her. ”
On the other side, in the deepest part of the orc base on Spiritwing Island, the Dragonmaw Overseer, Lord Moghall, is meeting a guest, seemingly a heavyweight guest, who has dismissed all the guards around him.
In this dark room with a charcoal furnace burning, a tall, heavy axe overseer sits in his seat, and in front of him is a skin-armoured, slender blood elf.
The Overseers made her a countess, even if Ronin and Winlessa, who were hiding from the sidelines to snoop, had never seen the countess in Silvermoon City.
"I helped you deal with those ethereal spirits, how did you think about your last proposal?Moghall, give me an answer, my patience is limited!"
The blood elf of unknown origin crossed his arms and looked at the orc overseer in front of him very indifferently, the latter seemed a little hesitant, his ugly face was full of confusion, he was silent for a moment, and said in a loud voice,
"I'm sorry, Countess, I can't agree to your request, Illidan is a harsh ruler, and if he knew that I had given you a batch of Void Dragons, my fate would have been miserable, and the entire dragon's throat would have fallen miserably. ”
"Huh?"
The Blood Elf's eyebrows furrowed, "Are you afraid of Illidan?
"Hehe, you're laughing. ”
Moghall touched his embarrassed stubble, although he said it respectfully, his attitude was quite perfunctory, "The Black Dragon Legion of Azeroth is strong, but this is Draenor, and there is only one king of the Outlands... So, please come back, Countess, I thank you for helping us deal with those damn ethereals, and in return, I'm willing to give you 2 Void Dragons in my personal name, but that's the limit. ”
"Well... Case. ”
A smile suddenly appeared on the Blood Elf's indifferent face, and Moghall sensed great danger in it, but before he could pick up his weapon, a scorching shadow dragon's breath smashed down from above his head, drowning the orc overseer in an instant.
He couldn't even let out a wail.
A few seconds later, looking at the orc in front of her, who had turned into charred black bone slag, the blood elf snorted coldly, she turned her head and stared at a corner of the room,
"Have you seen enough, get out of here!"
At this moment, those indifferent eyes... The dragon's pupil has completely turned yellow.
