Raging Mountains, Orgrimmar, Chief Hall.

Thrall, the Great Chief of the Orcs, sat on a stone chair, closed his eyes and pondered. The imminent outbreak of war in the Sweetwater Oasis certainly worries him, but it is still not the most worrying thing for him right now.

The Fireblade Clan now has more than 150,000 people who have migrated to the barren lands, and although it still can't be compared to the large clans of Shadow Moon, Dragon Roar, and Thunder King, Thrall believes that as long as the Fireblade Clan continues to thrive in the Sweet Water Oasis, after twenty years, the impact of the Blackstone Clan's defection will completely dissipate, and the grown Fireblade Clan will become a staunch supporter of him and the Ring of the Earth.

The confrontation and the impending war in the Forgotten Pool now is a crisis for the Fireblade Clan, and the danger is certainly there, but the opportunity is just as obvious. Through this small war, the other orc clans will see the strength of the Fireblade Clan, which will be very effective in countering the arrogance of the Shadowmoon Clan and solidifying the Fireblade Clan's position in the clan council. That's why Thrall only sent 20,000 Orgrimmar's guards to reinforce them, so that the Fireblade Clan would become the protagonist of this war, and not be obscured by his light.

In contrast, the Shadowmoon Clan's great shaman's jumping up and down was even more annoying to Thrall. The recent surprise attack eliminated the Blood Cave Clan, a clan that believed in the power of the Shadows, and completely lost the voices of those within the Orcs who demanded the restoration of the Shadow Cult, so Thrall could understand that some shamans began to want to share power and fight for more benefits for their clan. This behavior was considered weak and humiliating by the orcs long ago, but as the Warlocks who believed in the power of the Shadows continued to spread their teachings among the orcs, the orcs today increasingly preferred to use this method rather than rely on the weapons in their hands to prove themselves.

This is not a good sign!

But now is not the time to break with the Shadowmoon Clan, the Great Shaman Naozu is the oldest existing shaman of the Orcs, and there are many people in the Ring of the Earth who have been taught by this old shaman.

Luckily, a communication ritual in the Ring of the Earth a few days ago gave Thrall a good excuse to force Naozu to temporarily give up his peep at the chieftaincy's position. But it was also unfortunate that during that communication ceremony, the elemental spirits conveyed a very bad news to the shamans.

Miklash, the Lord of Nightmares, is corrupting the entire Barrenland!

This is undoubtedly a matter of life and death for the orcs! No one dared to ignore the reminder of the elemental spirits, so Thrall immediately sent a search party led by Naozu into the Wailing Cave to find the traces of Miklash, the Lord of Nightmares. That's when Thrall realized how important the message that the undead had delivered to him through Canos!

He regretted that he hadn't paid attention to the clues provided by Yu Bin in the first place, and sent people to deal with the threat of the Nightmare Lord as soon as possible. And now, even the elemental spirits had to be reminded, and Thrall couldn't imagine how much the strength of that terrible Nightmare Lord had grown.

Will Naozu fail?

But Sal was subconsciously reluctant to believe that this speculation would come true. In the search team led by Naozu, there are not only the legendary great shaman of Naozu, but also the legendary orc swordmaster of Itreg Hell Roar, and as for the hero-level orcs, there are nearly ten, under such a configuration, even if the Lord of Nightmares, Miklash, is a legendary-level existence, the search team can ensure their safety and bring back enough information.

Hopefully, the search party will be able to deal with the scourge of Miklash, or at least stop the terrible Lord of Nightmares from continuing to corrupt the Barrens. Thrall prayed heartily to the elemental spirits.

What the orc chief didn't expect, however, was that while he was struggling to save himself on the future of the Barrens, a group of unscrupulous players were ready to do everything they could to sabotage it all. No one thought that the bottle of undead venom that had fallen at the water source of the Ghost Mist Peak with the wind in the past would actually affect the Lord of Nightmares in the depths of the Wailing Cave, and then bring a catastrophe to the entire barren land.

"How's the preparation going over there?" Karn Blackhorn took the past with the wind and the others to hide behind a shelter, looked at the entrance to the heavily guarded cave a few dozen meters away, and asked Banora Splithoof.

The minotaur warrior glanced at Gork and replied nonchalantly, "It should be almost there." ”

"Hey, what are you talking about? Can you make this clearer? Not only did Gork not understand, but the others were also confused.

Karn Blackhorn just tilted his head and glanced at Gork, not at all explaining.

"You ......"

Just when Gork was about to attack, there was a burst of shouts from a distance.

"Looks like they're finally getting started." Banora lifted the axe in his hand and said.

"I'll leave it to you, don't neglect our two orc friends." Karn Blackhorn said, then looked at the past with the wind, "As for you, follow me after sneaking!" ”

Before Gork could ask any more questions, Banola walked out of hiding.

At this time, the shouting of killing in the distance was already obvious, and it was a large group of orcs and orcs chasing a dozen minotaur players towards the cave and killing them.

Attracted by such a large group of invaders, the Minotaur Ancestral warriors who were guarding the gate of the cave all turned their heads to look that way.

Taking advantage of their inattention, Banora pretended to run back to report the news, and shouted loudly as she ran towards those Minotaur Ancestor warriors, "Alert! Warning! We were ambushed, the patrol was attacked by the orcs, and many people were surrounded. We need reinforcements! ”

In the past few days, as a member of the patrol, Banora would often hang out in front of these Minotaur Ancestor Warriors, and occasionally bring some green grass and fruits to these Minotaur Ancestors, which made these Minotaur Ancestor Warriors remember this young but promising compatriot.

In addition, at this time, there was a scene of orcs chasing and killing the minotaurs in front of them, which made the minotaurs, who were originally kind-hearted and did not have so many thoughts, not be angry at all, and they did not have the slightest doubt about Banola's call for help.

"Hold on!" The two Minotaur Ancestor Warriors immediately left their posts and rushed forward to help those Minotaur players deal with the pursuers, while the remaining four also had expressions eager to fight, for these elite Minotaur warriors, letting them sit back and watch their compatriots fight alone was even more painful than letting them go without eating tender grass for a week, but the strict discipline still made them choose to continue to perform their duties.

"Don't be stunned! Those idiots are waiting for your help! Karn said to Gork with contempt in his tone.

"Those minotaur players are also your people?" At this time, Gork still didn't know the other party's arrangement, and it was obvious that whether it was the minotaur players who were being chased and killed, or the orc players who were being hunted down, they were all the means arranged by Karn.

"It's just a little bait!"

Gork and Feynman looked at each other, then waited for a while, until the two minotaur ancestor warriors who had rushed out to help were stirred up by the group of orcs, before they came out of their hideout and ran wildly towards the cave entrance.

"Enemy attack! These green-skinned beasts have helpers! "The four Minotaur Ancestral Warriors who stayed behind immediately spotted Gork and Feynman, and after sending the police, two more left their posts and rushed towards Gork and Feynman to prevent them from approaching the cave.

"Looks like we'll have to take care of the remaining two!" After discovering that there were still two Minotaur Ancestor warriors left at the entrance, Karn said regretfully, "I'll go out and get their attention, and you will follow the plan you said before!" ”

"Well, looks like we're going to have to put on a good show!" The Skywalker spread his hands and said.

On the other side, Banora danced the tomahawk in his hand in a circle, and shouted in the language of the minotaurs as he rushed towards the orcs. With the appearance of Banola, those fleeing minotaur players immediately turned around and launched a counterattack against the pursuing orcs, the weapons of both sides hit each other, and the sound of ping-pong was heard endlessly for a while, but if you look closely, you will find that these players are acting at all, the action looks very powerful, but the attack is either not hit, or it is not lethal. Those orc players used most of their strength to deal with the two Minotaur Ancestor Warriors, and even those Minotaur players were deliberately blocking the attack route of those Minotaur Ancestor Warriors, ostensibly looking like they were cooperating with them to eliminate the Orcs, but in fact, the effect of making trouble was greater.

There are also some orc players who have voluntarily broken away from the warband, approaching Gork and Feynman, helping them deal with the two minotaurs.

Even the seventh-order strength of the Minotaur Ancestor Warrior had no way to quickly resolve the battle in this situation, but under the constant interference of those Minotaur players, they gradually fell into disadvantage. The two companions who were still at the entrance of the cave were anxious.

At this moment, Karn, who had deliberately made a circle, ran in the other direction, made a chance encounter, and after a brief inquiry with the two remaining minotaurs, he was ready to rush forward to help with his totem pole.

However, before Karn could leave the entrance of the cave, two dim figures burst out of the shadows beside the cave and stabbed their daggers at Karn, who was facing away from them.

"Be careful!" The anti-stealth totem couldn't cover that distance, so the two minotaurs didn't even notice the existence of the Sky Walker, but the strength of the seventh order still allowed them to react in a very short time. Without hesitation, the two rushed forward, ready to block the Assassin who had launched the sneak attack.

But the Skywalker didn't care about his life or death, and the moment the two minotaurs rushed out, he suddenly accelerated, and the whole person crashed directly into Karn's back, and for the sake of authenticity, the dagger in his hand also pierced Karn's body.

Karn, who had been prepared for a long time, pretended to be caught off guard, as if he had been knocked out by the Skywalker's sacrificial impact, and flew out in the direction of an anti-stealth totem. The tall body directly knocked down the anti-stealth totem.

No one noticed that at the moment when the anti-stealth totem was knocked down, two imperceptible figures quickly dived into the cave along the gap exposed between the anti-stealth totems, and the dim environment in the cave gave them the best protection.

The Skywalker who succeeded in the "sneak attack" tore open a magic scroll, and a shadow cloak instantly covered his body, blocking the full force of the two minotaurs, and after landing, the undead assassin threw out the smoke bomb in his hand for the first time, and then immediately fled.

The two minotaurs still wanted to pursue, Karn, who had already completed the cover, quickly stood up, and while putting the anti-stealth totem back in its place, he reminded the two minotaurs not to forget their duties, in fact, he was just worried that after the two minotaurs joined the battle outside, they would collapse immediately!

"Two warriors, these enemies are obviously prepared, and they must not be allowed to disrupt Lord Tumoni's rituals, or you can send someone to the cave and report the situation to Lord Tumoni, at least ask Lord Tumoni to send a few shamans to increase the garrison here." Karn's goal was to gather as many of the cavern's garrisons as possible on the entrance, so that the past would be better with the wind and Galkin's chances of success.

"Young man, we have a duty on our shoulders, and it is inconvenient to leave! I don't think you might as well report to Master Tumoni! Anyway, you've been here a lot these days, so you should be familiar with the inside, so don't trigger those traps! ”

Things turned out even better than Karn had expected! Since the other party took the initiative, Karn naturally agreed.

At the same time, the Past Wind and Galkin were cautiously making their way along the walls towards the depths of the cavern. The Minotaur set up some torches in the cave, and although the light was faint, it was enough for the past to follow the wind and Galkin to see the surroundings clearly. Although there was a map to indicate the location of those traps, neither of them was careless, and who knows if the minotaurs would change the location of the traps during this time.

"Stop! Damn, it's a druid's owl! Galkin suddenly stopped the past with the wind, and following the troll's finger, the past followed the wind to see a gray owl crouched on a protruding rock not far away, its round eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"These minotaurs have other arrangements!" The past can't help but feel a headache, the owl is not a dead thing like a totem, and it is very difficult to fool the keen eyesight of this animal.

"Look at me!" Galkin calmly took out a mouse from his pocket, let go of his hand, and the mouse that had long wanted to escape immediately squeaked and fled towards the depths of the cave. When the owl in charge of guarding found out, he pounced without hesitation, grabbed the mouse accurately with a pair of claws, and then lowered his head and ate it. Unaware that two intruders had sneaked through his back.
