Volume 7: The Chamber of Secret of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered Version) Chapter 83: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (25)
Burning Plains, Pillars of Ashes, Eleven Twenty A.m., Third Temporary Camp!
Banora looked at the latest information in his hand, and couldn't help but smile on his dry face, even though this smile seemed so ugly in the eyes of others.
A small teleportation array set up not far behind him emitted a burst of teleported white light, and a human male dressed in aristocratic clothing appeared in the teleportation array.
With the camp full of chaotic camp creatures such as undead, orcs, and trolls, the sudden appearance of a human was like pouring a glass of water into a hot oil pot, making the entire camp boil in an instant.
"Isn't it uneasy for me to come here for a trip myself, Professor?" Banora turned around with a cold face and said coldly to the other party, and his words also made the surrounding hunters immediately quiet.
No one would have thought that as the supreme leader of the Devouring Serpent, the Seventh Pillar Apostle known as the Professor, would actually be a human, and it seemed that he was still a gentle human nobleman.
Wearing a pair of glasses with magic crystals as lenses and tortoiseshell as frames, the man known as the professor smiled and said to Banola, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to come and watch, after all, the success of this operation will have a great impact on my research work." ”
"Humph!"
"Having said that, I didn't expect you to recover your strength so quickly, it seems that Your Excellency the Death Knight is really willing to spend your money!" The professor raised his hand and pushed the lenses, which made him look more like a scholar than a nobleman, and the meaning of Banola's almost written "I don't welcome you" on his face did not affect the professor's expression in the slightest.
Banora glanced around, and the hunters who had turned their eyes on the show turned their heads to continue patrolling, apparently unwilling to anger the snake enforcer: "It's none of your business! ”
"Of course! I was just a little surprised that you would betray that man so neatly, I thought you, like that butler, would quit forever! ”
"You're underestimating our Fourth Executor, Professor!" Another figure walked out of the teleportation array, with pointed ears, green hair, and a half-human-high longbow on his back, "Lord Banora only cares about strength, whoever can meet his requirements will gain his allegiance, obviously, a waste who can only lie in bed and wait for death can't do this!" ”
"Gatterling, do you want to die?" Barnes & Noble stretched out his hand and grasped the Abyss Watcher sword behind him, and the originally dim red light in his eyes instantly lit up, staring at Galtlin Qingya and said.
"Oh, horrible, horrible! I don't want to fight such a horrible uncle! Gattlin hid sideways behind the professor's back, revealing only one head, "I apologize for my rudeness!" ”
Before Galtlin could finish speaking, a faint magic shield appeared on the professor's body: "I'm not used to having people behind my back, Galtlin!" Hopefully this is your first and last temptation for me! ”
"Hahaha, sorry sorry! You know, Professor, if you spend a lot of time with those idiots with long ears, you're going to have some bad habits! The ranger chuckled and took a few steps back, playing with the short dagger in his hand with both hands, the purple glow of the short dagger was clearly not an ordinary thing.
"Well, I guess Lord Banora doesn't want to waste his precious time on us." The professor regained his smile, "Now, can you give me a look at the army of the undead of our Death Knight?" ”
"Here!" Banola led the two men through most of the camp to a halfway cliff.
The Pillar of Ashes of the Burning Plains is a mountain ruin, a once-lush hill that has been scorched black by the flames, and the surrounding rolling hills have formed a large number of pits and basins due to the abrupt drops.
Looking down from the cliff in the middle of the mountain, there is a dense army of undead as far as the eye can see, from skeletons to zombies, from bone knights to bone mages, and there are many skeleton birds and gargoyles patrolling back and forth in the sky, even the professor who is an apostle can't help but feel numb in his scalp.
"This, that's really surprising to me!" The professor pushed the lenses to hide his surprise that he couldn't help but express, "I didn't expect there to be so many!" ”
"How many are there?" Galtlin also put away his frivolous look and asked with a serious face.
"More than fifty thousand, at least ten thousand of them are from the elite of Naxxramas!" Banora pointed to the undead soldiers who were standing quietly waiting for orders, "Since five days ago, they have been gathering here one after another through the teleportation array, and there are at least two hundred of them who are fourth-order 130 level and above demon bone dragoons!" ”
The professor and Galtlin couldn't help but take a breath, those ordinary undead soldiers they might not take seriously, after all, at their level, these cannon fodder-like skeletons and zombies are no longer a threat, but the demon bone dragoons are not in the category of cannon fodder.
With the continuous improvement of Yu Bin's level, the transformed Demon Bone Dragoon has become more and more powerful, and the current Demon Bone Dragoon is fully armed, and the blood volume has almost reached about 50,000, and this blood volume alone is enough to make most players feel desperate!
"There are more than two thousand ordinary bone cavalry, plus nearly five hundred bone mages and nearly a thousand gargoyles, not to mention a large number of ghouls, zombies, soul judges, and so on!" Banora said as he pointed out to the two of them the elite troops from Naxxramas.
"He's really willing to bet!" Galtlin said.
"Bet?" Banora shook her head, apparently disagreeing with Galtlin's claim, "If this is called a bet, then you are underestimating that Excellency!" ”
"Oh?" Banola's words intrigued the professor, "How? Shouldn't you call out a few hero-level thugs like the last time in Raven Ridge? ”
Banora nodded, signaling that the other party was right: "Look, that's the commander of this army of the undead, His Excellency La Suvios, the chief instructor of the Knights of the Black Blade!" In addition to the entire Knights of the Ebon Blade, at least five heroic NPCs will join the action! ”
In the direction that Banora pointed, an undead knight was leading two of his men up the cliff and walking towards the three of them.
"Hello, Commander Banola!" La Suvios greeted Banora first, and the undead knight obviously didn't mean to make friends with the professor and Galdrin beside Banola, "I hope you brought me good news this time!" ”
"Of course, I hope this information satisfies you!" Banora handed the piece of information to Rasuvios, "Please let me introduce you, this is the twelfth Gallerin Green Sprout, who is the Snake Eater like me, and this is the Seventh Pillar Apostle Professor!" ”
Rasouvios simply nodded at the two, not that he was arrogant or conceited, but that as a hero, it was impossible for him to show any respect to the two rookies who had not even reached the fifth order, Yu Bin as a lord, Rasouvios naturally served him as a subordinate, but for others, the chief instructor of the Black Edge Knights was obviously not so important.
After a cursory look at the information in his hand, Rasousvios said, "Very good! I will ask Giovanni to set off immediately with a part of the legions, and the cavalry troops will stay and continue to wait for the main objective to appear! ”
"Without cavalry?" Banora was a little surprised, "Will the composition of the troops be a little thin, I still have three chaser regiments in my hands that have not been used, and they can join together in the war of extermination of the Mafiah Clan!" ”
Rasuvios waved his hand: "No need, if 40,000 soldiers and twelve chasseur regiments can't exterminate those black-skinned beasts that escaped from Blackstone Mountain, it's useless to add three more!" Giovanni will get this done, we can't afford to prioritize, it's those dwarves that the main force of the legion needs to deal with! ”
"Well, my men will continue to keep an eye on what is happening in Ironforge!" Banola said.
Watching La Suvios leave, Galtlin couldn't help but ask, "I thought that this time the target was only the dwarves of Ironforge, how could it include even the Black Hand Clan?" ”
This time, it was the professor who opened his mouth to explain: "You just joined this program, and it's normal that you don't know!" In addition to personal factors, the main thing about attacking the mafia clan is that we don't want them to interfere with our actions! ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
"Our original intention was to use the matter of Blackstone Mountain to lure Orgrimmar into the Burning Plains, so as to force the dwarves of Ironforge to support their relatives in Blackstone Mountain, since the orcs and dwarves have been fighting around Blackstone Mountain for several years, as long as it is done properly, it is likely to become the fuse for a large-scale war between the two races!"
Galtlin nodded: "That's right, after the new Third Apostle withdrew from the organization, in order to promote the outbreak of the faction war, the Second and Fifth Apostles and the professor worked together to formulate this plan. If all goes well, after the previous guidance, the demon clan will change their camp to join neutrality, and the minotaurs will have to move closer to the order camp in order to resist the oppression of the orcs and lizardmen, plus in the Jerimanca desert, the combined forces of elves and dwarves have begun to gain the upper hand, in order to avoid the worst outcome, the demons will obviously attack the elves at any cost, so that a new round of camp war will break out. ”
"But the problem is, things have changed a lot lately!" The professor said helplessly.
Of course, Galtlin knew what the other party was referring to: "You mean that thing that happened in the Arnas Empire?" ”
"That's right! Although His Excellency the Death Knight had long warned of the problem of the infiltration of black dragons among humans, we didn't expect it to be so serious! The professor said, "As the situation in the Arnas Empire changes, it is very likely that a civil war will break out of the Terran race, no matter what the scale of this civil war is, in this case, it is obviously impossible for humanity, as one of the two pillars of the Order-keeping camp, to continue to focus on external affairs, and other aspects are constantly pushing according to our original plan, so that once the demon side starts to attack, without the full support of humans, the elven side is likely to withdraw the army from the Jerimanca Desert, Thus relieving the pressure of the demons and bringing the whole situation to a balanced impasse again! ”
"And we also underestimated the wisdom of the great chief of Orgrimmar, but we didn't expect that in the face of the chaos of the Burning Plains, Chief Thrall still refused to invest in the main army, and there was no way to keep this fuse burning with just one Fire Blade clan!" Banora added, "This has forced us to modify our plans on the fly, and since Orgrimmar won't increase the weight, we'll have to force Ironforge to strike first!" ”
Speaking of which, it is clear that Galtlin finally understood the context of this plan: "Once the undead army appears in this war, as long as there is anyone to help the trouble, Ironforge will inevitably think that the undead are strongly supporting Orgrimmar to control the Burning Plains, whether it is to aid the Black Iron Dwarves or to protect Red Ridge Mountain from falling into the hands of Orgrimmar, Ironforge will have to send troops to join this war in the Burning Plains!" ”
"That's right!" The professor smiled and said, "With our covert help, the Fireblade Clan has repelled the defenders of the Black Iron Dwarves and is about to enter the Black Stone Mountain, for the benefit of the clan, they don't need us to do anything next, they themselves will persuade Chief Thrall to increase their forces, and what we have to do is to make the Iron Fort feel that if they don't do it again, the Burning Plains will be occupied by the orcs!" ”
"Ambushing the army of Ironforge?" Galtlin obviously understood the purpose of these main forces of the undead staying here, "But with this army, will it not be enough?" ”
"That's why I asked you to come here!" Banora said angrily, "For this plan, the organization has mobilized a full fourteen executors and twenty-three executor candidates, and His Excellency the Sixth Apostle personally entered the Black Stone Mountain to provoke the war between the Black Dragon Legion and the Fire Elemental Legion, just to prevent those big lizards from coming out to stir up trouble at a critical moment!" ”
The professor said to Galtling, "You've been lurking in the elves before, and some of the dwarves and elves have not used some of the hunting regiments, now it's time for you to help!" ”
"How many people can I use?"
"Two dwarves, four elves, six chasseurs! Nobel will come to your aid with two dwarf hunting regiments! Your mission is simple, find out the bottom line of Ironforge and slow down reinforcements if necessary! It will take time to annihilate the armies of the dwarves, and I don't want this to be disturbed! The professor smiled at Galtlin and said, as an executor who has not been exposed, Galtlin Qingya's reputation in the eyes of NPCs is still good, and it is appropriate for him to come forward to do these things, "I don't think this is difficult for you!" ”
Galtlin smiled and patted the longbow on his back: "Of course! Don't forget, I have a good relationship with the rangers of Ironforge! Rangers and rangers have always been close partners! ”
