Chapter 506 [Battle Situation in the Wharton Desert]
Have you ever fought alongside your former enemies?
Rick didn't have it before.
But he has it now.
Rick is a Wharton snake man, a snake man in the traditional sense of the word, who believes in Loacetaris and follows Warwick.
Warwick, the Guardian, is one of the three Guardians of the once Holy Land. The other two are Kotek and Sulcis.
They are the heroes, legends, and guardians of the snake people.
Rick now stands beside a snake man unbeliever, Rick knows his name clearly, his name is Tek.
How could he possibly forget Tyke?
Three years ago, it was this Tyke who led a large group of untrustworthy people to invade his village, killing many of Warwick's followers.
Rick's sister also died in that disaster.
Rick wanted to kill Tyke, skinned him, and threw him in the desert to be dried by the sun.
The hatred of ordinary snake people and the unbelievers, I don't know how many years of accumulation, has completely been at the level of enemies of life and death.
The snake people are an ancient race, even as old as the original trolls. They are one of the first intelligent beings born of Azeroth.
Trolls and snake people lived in peace more than 100,000 years ago. Sétaris is the LA who rules the rich region of Zandalara.
At the time of the invasion of the Old Gods, the region fell - in the war between the trolls and the Yaki worms.
Misrax, a terrifying general of Enlaki, is sent to occupy the area.
Sétaris intervenes and fights him.
Sétaris defeated it and buried it under Atul Aman, but she also sacrificed herself.
The battle also turned the area into a desert, and the trolls moved to more habitable places. The snake people continue to multiply in the desert, dwelling in the holiest places in this land.
After witnessing this devastating power, the snake people realized that no one should be allowed to awaken Mislax again.
Later, the Serpent Man produced a hero named Sulsis, who thought that even the tomb must be sealed.
Unable to accomplish this daunting task alone, Cortek and Warwick lend a helping hand, and in this way, the Guardian of the Serpent is formed.
Together, they built a barrier to seal the remains of Misrax inside the Great Pyramid.
To ensure that the tomb is not reopened, each Guardian has forged a key to infuse it with their powers.
As the days passed, Cortec became greedy for power. He intends to break the seal of Atu Aman and use the power of Misrax to conquer Zandalara.
He raised an army that was at his command, and anyone who dared to resist was slaughtered.
Sulsis bore the brunt.
Before dying, Soulis left a message for another Guardian, Warwick, warning him of Cortek's betrayal.
Then the snake people split up and civil strife, and the traditional snake people followed Warwick and formed an army of untrustworthy people with Cortek, starting a long civil war.
Rick is the orthodox snake man who follows Warwick, and Tyke is the untrustworthy who follows Kotek.
Rick had always wanted to kill the unbeliever, to avenge the many ordinary snake men who had died at his hands, and to avenge his sister.
However, Rick couldn't do that now, even if the mortal enemy was turning his back on him, and he could kill him with a slight stab of his spear.
He wouldn't do that.
Because he is now resisting the life-and-death enemy of the snake people with his mortal enemy!
A month ago.
While ordinary snake people are battling the increasingly rampant Unbelievers, a green, immensely strong monster invades the area.
They don't care if the snake people are unbelievers or ordinary snake people, anyway, they just kill indiscriminately.
The unbelievers and ordinary snake people suffered heavy losses, and those green-skinned monsters pushed all the way, and the snake people who were already in internal strife could not resist such an enemy at all.
That's when the Snake People's hero, Warwick's Guardian, stepped forward and called on the Snake People to unite, or the legacy of Sétaris would be broken today.
The unbelievers had long since stopped believing in Sétaris, and they were not interested in any part of Warwick's appeal.
However, Warwick did tell the truth that if the snake people were not united, they would really be exterminated by the green-skinned monster.
After all, whether they are unbelievers or traditional snake people, they are all snake people, and they are all descendants of Cetaris.
After trying to communicate with their enemies to no avail, the Emperor of the Untrustworthy, one of the former Guardians, now claims to be the former Guardian of Emperor Cortek.
He accepted Warwick's offer, and the Unbelievers and the Ordinary Snake People joined forces to fight these enemies who had invaded the Wharton area.
Half a month ago.
For the sake of the break, the great Warwick died. He was cleaved to pieces by two of the most powerful warriors of the green-skinned monsters.
The ordinary snake people have lost their support, and the faith and heritage of Sétaris are about to be cut off.
Even without these green-skinned orcs, ordinary snake people felt that the unbelievers would not let them have a good time.
However, at this moment, the emperor of the unbelievers, Cortec the Great, repented of the death of his former friend and later enemy, Warwick.
Emperor Cortec rebelieves in Sétaris and vows to lead the remaining snake men to drive the enemy out of Wharton.
From then on, the snake man is the snake man, and there is no more unbeliever.
Wharton is the Wharton of Sétaris, the Wharton of the Serpent Man. Not trolls, not these green-skinned monsters.
Under strong pressure from the enemy, under the leadership of the lost Emperor Cortec.
The unbelievers and ordinary snake people who once fought to the death and had the blood of each other's relatives on their hands were forced to unite under the command of Emperor Cortec to resist these green-skinned monsters.
However, the truth is that even if the snake people join forces, they are still no match for these green-skinned monsters!
The monsters carry their seat wolves, and they are terrible wolf cavalry. In the flat desert, they come and go like the wind!
They attack the snake people at night if they want to, they attack during the day if they want to, and the snake people can't catch up with them if they want to fight back.
The territory of the snake people in the Wharton area was encroached upon by these green-skinned monsters step by step, and the snake people fell down one by one.
Just like today, the orcs attacked a snake village in the desert. Rick and Tek, the former enemies of life and death, were ordered to bring people over to defend, and the snake people were no match for these green-skinned monsters in the chaotic battle.
One by one, the soldiers fell.
Only a dozen snake men remained, led by Rick and Tyke, making the last stand.
"Heh~ Rick, I was going to kill you. Then hang it on the rocks of the desert to dry. I didn't expect to die with you at the hands of these monsters today! It's a pity!! The mighty snake warrior, once the untrustworthy elite, sneered as he resisted the enemy back-to-back with Rick.
"Humph! Death is not the end. After death we will all go to the kingdom of Sétaris, and then the great One will judge you, you unbelievers! Rick grinded his fangs and responded coldly to Tek.
However, the movement of his hand did not stop for a moment, and as he spoke, he used his spear to shoot a flying arrow towards Tyke.
"Death is going to die. Whether it's reporting from the troll Bonsandy or reporting from Sétaris. It's all the same. Tyke blocked the tomahawk slashed by the green-skinned monster, and his arm tingled with a tremor of force.
"Hoarse~"
The snake man opened his mouth, and two fangs shot out venom and sprayed it on the green-skinned monster.
The monster screamed, and smoke rose from the place where the venom had been spilled.
Rick looked at the battlefield, and most of the snake people in the villages and towns had retreated.
However, most of the snake warriors he and Tyke brought with him were also dead.
"For Sétaris!" He shouted and rushed at a green-skinned monster ready to attack Tyck.
The enemy who tried to sneak up was killed by him.
Tyck is safe for the time being.
Poof!
A sharp arrow pierced his chest and shattered his heart.
"Ah~ Sétaris. I'm going to your kingdom. "Rick fell.
"Rick!" The former Unbeliever was blinded by a snake that rushed like a python at the green-skinned monster wolf cavalry that killed Rick with flying arrows.
Halfway through, he was cut in two by a huge axe, and the remaining strength of the charge took the lower half of his body out more than ten meters, and the upper half of his body fell on the spot.
Tyke watched the lower half of his body fall, his eyes slowly closing, and he felt his life force drain quickly.
"Whatever. I'm going to report from the land of Sétaris......"
The unbeliever, who had killed an unknown number of ordinary snake people, finally closed his eyes.
Syllable!
There was a soft thud.
His head was crushed.
But Tyke didn't feel it anymore.
He was already dead.
The orc who could easily hack the elite snake man to death with a single knife was a very young-looking, slender orc who carried a huge axe.
The other orc warriors looked in awe at the very young orc warriors who did not look very strong.
"A snake with teeth. and die under the minions of hungry wolves. The young orc boy looked disdainfully at the corpses of the snake people.
"The desert is about to be taken by us." The young orc looked in Nazmir's direction. "Naozu will know what I'm capable of."
The orc warriors are submissive.
No one dared to answer the voice of the young wolf.
The young orc is a young legend of the clan, and before he came to this world, he even killed a terrifying Goron on his own in the steppes of Nagrand.
Just like the meaning of his name, "Giant's Heart", he is the Giant Slayer.
"Son of the mighty Golmash. The Chief said that after destroying this reptilian supply point, we should return to the main army......" said an orc officer who dared to come over.
"Call me by name!" The lanky young orc roared.
The orc officer who spoke was startled.
He muttered, "Mighty giant killer, great hungry wolf, Lord Gromache. We should ......"
"You, go back. Tell Golmash. His son will continue to win for him. Now, I'm going to take you to the throne of these reptiles! The young orc rode his wolf mount with arrogance.
He insisted on going his own way.
Heading deep into the desert.
