With Frost Sorrow's powerful bodyguard by his side, Arthas doesn't know what else he is afraid of, as Frost Sorrow said, even if Sargeras is in person, he may not be his opponent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Arthas was about to approach the cave to see what was hidden inside, when Frost Sorrow suddenly said, "Master, it seems that something has come from over there." ”
Arthas stopped, and by this time he could already feel the ground tremble slightly—a sign of the arrival of a massive cavalry! Arthas, who had served in the Knights of the Silver Hand for many years and had led Lordaeron's army to strangle the Scourge Legions, was not short of military common sense, and made a judgment in an instant.
But how could there be a large army of cavalry in this inaccessible valley of Alterac?Arthas decided to hide first and see who this group of uninvited guests was. Soon Alsace hid behind a half-withered cedar tree, hiding himself with a thick trunk.
Frostmourn kicks the snow on the ground beside Arthas, she doesn't need to worry about being discovered, but when she sees Arthas hiding behind a tree, Frostsorrow remembers a game called "hide and seek...... Among the countless souls he devoured and absorbed, the game always appeared in a variety of slightly different ways in the childhood of the deceased.
As the earth shook as the shaking intensified, Arthas knew that the cavalry was coming. Sure enough, a moment later, a large group of knights circled out from behind the mountain peak—not knights in the traditional sense, of course, because the mounts under their crotches were not war horses, but white wolves with sharp claws and sharp teeth, and the riders on the back of the giant wolf were a group of hideous-looking, heavily armed orcs!
The wolf knight of the orcs?Arthas's pupils shrank--the orc forward had reached the Alterac Valley so quickly?How could it be? There was no information from Riptide Castle, and there was no trace of the orc fleet in Southsea Town, so where did this group of orcs come from?
Although Arthas's concealment was not successful, the group of orc wolf cavalry did not pay attention to the movement here, but strangled the giant wolves under their crotch at the entrance of the cave, turned over and got off their mounts one by one, drew their weapons, and formed a circle at the mouth of the cave, as if their enemies were inside.
Arthas noticed a detail, the mounts of this group of wolf cavalry are all white giant wolves, but there is no record of this kind of wolf cavalry in the limited information about orcs before, and most of the known orc wolf cavalry ride brown, black or gray giant wolves. In addition to the mounts they brought from their hometown of Draenor, there are also a number of wolves that have been caught and tamed in the Elwyn and Twilight Forests.
In any case, the forces of the orcs have crossed the Narrow Sea, which divided the Eastern Kingdom in half, and have come to the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. While knowing that war was about to break out, Arthas was more worried about attacking Uther in Broken Ridge, if he encountered the orc wolf cavalry halfway, or if Aiden's son Eliton had surrendered, and the orc vanguard had entered the fortress of Broken Ridge, then Uther, who only carried a hundred of his subordinates to follow him, would be in a very dangerous situation.
Just when Arthas was worried about Uther, an earth-shattering roar came from the valley, followed by a shaking of the mountains, and a violent tremor reached Arthas's hiding place, which made him a little surprised—this tremor was even more shocking than the movement of the nearly 100 orc wolf cavalry just now.
The orc wolf cavalry was also a little frightened, and retreated a little, and the huge wolf beside them also bowed slightly, their front paws tightly on the ground, their hind legs bent, their bodies arched, and their huge fangs bared, waiting to attack the enemy in the cave - compared to the human knights, the attack power of the orc wolf cavalry was obviously stronger, because their mounts were also very lethal.
At this time, you can see who the leader is, and when the other wolf cavalry are a little nervous, an aging orc does not move the place, but instead buys a few steps forward, and the wolf next to him follows behind his master unhurriedly. Of course, in Arthas's eyes, the orcs all looked similar, and said that this orc was old because he had white hair and a somewhat rickety back.
Arthas soon discovered the peculiarity of the old orc—the other orcs were clad in plate armor and armed with large weapons such as maces or hammers, but the old orc only had some chain mail attached to key parts and only two one-handed swords in his hands, which did not look like a warrior.
At that moment, another roar was heard, and a small mountain-like figure sprang out of the cave and slammed into the front of the cave, stirring up a snowflake. Arthas took a breath of cold air - only to see a huge monster rush out of the cave, the monster was covered with thick white hair, and had two long sharp horns on its head, standing upright like a human, five or six meters tall, and its huge body showed its formidable strength.
It's a snowman, and Arthas recognizes the monster's identity. There are such creatures in Northrend, but this is the first time Arthas has seen such a huge snowman. Frost Sorrow said on the side: "It turned out to be a snowman, no wonder I just felt that the soul of the thing in there was very weak!"
The snowman can be regarded as a member of the intelligent creatures, they can simply communicate with each other with sound, and can express their meaning with some strange symbols, but it is naturally incomparable to the creatures that created civilization like humans orcs. The snowman looked at the group of small people in front of him in confusion (in fact, the orcs are not small at all!, they are short and strong enough), and they did not understand why this group of strange people disturbed their dormancy.
Arthas is now as puzzled as the snowman - this group of orcs came to the Alterac Valley, did not contact Aiden (the orcs still don't know that Aiden was imprisoned), and ran here to find trouble with a snowman? The orc wolf cavalry and snowman over there don't care what Arthas is thinking, the snowman has a strong sense of territory, since he can't figure out why this group of monsters is here, he just smashes them all!
Having made up his mind, the snowman swooped down on the group of orc-wolf cavalry on the left side of the cave. Although the snowman's body is huge, his actions are still very agile, and when the orc wolf cavalry did not react, he grabbed an orc wolf cavalry with both hands, and shook it hard, two blood mist burst in the air, and the snowman shook his hand, threw down two pools of meat paste, and roared at the rest of the orc wolf cavalry with his mouth open.
Although the orc wolf cavalry was somewhat afraid of the snowman's strength, they were warriors after all, and they quickly recovered from their fear, and cooperated with their wolf companions, attacking the snowman's lower body with heavy hammers and maces. Of course, the risk of doing so is huge, the snowman's arms are dancing like wheels, and his feet are constantly trampling, and if he is not careful, the orc wolf cavalry will be stamped into a ball of meat sauce.
On the contrary, the liberated giant wolves pose a greater threat to the snowman, and they jump on the snowman's shoulders and frantically bite the snowman's thick skin, hoping to penetrate this protective film. However, the snowman's dense hair, which is nearly half a meter thick, is like natural armor, and the hair on the lower mouth of the giant wolves flies, but there are few places where blood really flows.
