Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 6: The Dangerous Forest (2)

The Assassin didn't expect the orc to react so quickly, he had wanted to follow up with a backstab after the kidney blow, but now he had to pull his knife back so as not to be slashed by the tomahawk. He's not one of those warriors with muscles all over his body, and a single slash with a tomahawk is enough to make him lose half of his combat strength.

The Assassin took a few steps back and managed to sink into the shadow of the tree trunk, which he could use in less than a second to re-enter the stealth state, and the muscular orc couldn't even see him.

However, as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and a short spear suddenly comes out from behind the trunk of the tree, piercing the assassin's chest, directly plunging him into a situation of death. The damage caused by the sneak attack was so horrific that the Assassin's entire heart was reduced to pieces, and with almost no struggle, the Assassin was reduced to a corpse.

Furious, Magozar turned around and saw a troll coming out from behind a tree trunk, carrying the corpse of the human assassin in his hand. The brown skin with a few red spots made the troll almost merge with the mottled pine trunk, which was a big reason why he was able to hide from the human assassin.

"Roar! That's the enemy of Mogozar! Trolls, how dare you snatch my prey! Mogozar was disappointed that he couldn't slash the human assassin, and became hostile to the Dark Pine Troll, "Despicable fellow! You, like your kindred, will only hide in the shadows as a coward! ”

The Dark Pine Troll glanced contemptuously at the orc with a big head but no brain: "It's a hunt!" Whoever kills the prey, the prey is the spoils of war! Idiot, do you want to be the prey of NUO too? ”

As soon as Mogozar raised the battle axe in his hand, he was about to rush forward and slash the troll with an axe. Fortunately, another orc who had gone to hunt down the thieves finally returned, and without hesitation, he stopped this very likely infighting: "Mogozar! Don't forget the Overseer's orders! ”

"Roar! This coward has insulted the honor of Mogozar! ”

"Shut up! We must get out of here now! There's no time for you to keep going crazy! If you want more credit, put away your weapons for me! ”

In the end, Mogozar was unwilling to leave the place with another orc warrior.

"Stupid green-skinned beast! If it weren't for those humans, the mighty Noggin would have brought your heads back and had the witch doctor make a necklace to hang around Nogin's neck! The Dark Pine Troll Assassin whispered disdainfully to the backs of the two orcs, relying on his camouflage to sink back into the mist.

After a few moments, a hazy figure stood up from behind a felled stump, and from its diminutive size, it was clear that it was a dwarf thief.

"Whew! Scared the hell out of me! I just wanted to go out and see if I could meet a lonely werewolf, but I didn't expect to see such a good show! Orcs, and trolls! Hehe, that's an important piece of information! Raphael-sama should be pleased with the news! ”

Just as the gnome thief turned to leave the place and return to the camp to report the news, the short spear that had pierced the human assassin shot out from the shadow behind the trunk again, pinning the gnome thief to the stump with precision. The troll Norgin slowly walked out from behind the trunk of the tree, holding a knife in a slight reverse arc.

"Little mouse! Think you're a real thief if you can sneak around? "Noggin cut off the dwarf thief's head with a single knife and hung it around his waist, where several heads were already hung, including the human assassin just now.

It was nearly ten minutes after Noggin disappeared again that the bloody forest fell into calm again.

An almost transparent figure slowly emerged from a nearby branch, with a frightened look on his face with the wind, and gently patted his chest with his hand: "My God! I'm almost like that gnome! I didn't expect these trolls to be so cunning! Boss Alan! Boss Alan! Alive, isn't it? ”

"Shut up, I'm not dead yet!" A dull voice came from a quagmire under the wind, and a humanoid object slowly stood up from the quagmire, it was Ailan, who had been lurking here early in the morning, "Hurry up!" The disappearance of a high-ranking aboriginal thief is no small matter, and it won't be long before those humans send out a search party! ”

The two of them had been lurking here since more than an hour ago, originally wanting to take advantage of the fog dissipating and the expeditionary force camp to get closer to reconnoitre, but they didn't expect to encounter such a trip.

After discovering that the orcs and trolls were here, Alan immediately chose to go back to the Psychic Academy to report the news. When Yu Bin went to loot Maltan's treasure house, he explained to the two of them, asking them to pay attention to collecting information about the expeditionary force and the Silver Pine Forest, which was related to their next action goal.

Now, Alan is keenly aware that the presence of orcs and trolls in the Silverpine Forest will have some impact on the ongoing war, so he must bring this information back as soon as possible.

A few hours later, Yu Bin, who had returned to the Psychic Academy, learned the news from Alan.

"Orcs and trolls?" Yu Bin scratched his head and pondered.

Logically speaking, Yu Bin was not surprised that orcs and trolls would appear in the Silver Pine Forest, and it was impossible for the Blood Cave Clan of Dunhold Castle and the Dark Pine Trolls of Broken Ridge to nest at home obediently and watch the human expeditionary force exterminate the Orcs of the Silver Pine Forest, and truly bring the Silver Pine Forest, Tirisfal Glade and Hillsbrad Hills into the control of humans.

Especially after these two participated in the attack on Nanhai Town before, whether it was the Blood Cave Clan or the Dark Pine Trolls, it was clear that once the Arugao of Shadowfang Castle was defeated, they would probably be the next target of the expeditionary force, and for good reason. The Dark Pine Trolls and humans already have a blood feud, and when they summoned Haka, they almost destroyed half of the Hillsbrad Hills. The Blood Cave Clan of Dunhold Castle occupies almost half of the Hillsbrad Hills, greatly affecting the expansion of the human race.

But in fact, from the information obtained from Raphael's side, neither the orcs of Dunhold Castle nor the trolls of Broken Ridge had made any obvious moves against the expeditionary force's attack on the Silver Pines Forest. It looks like he's been scared by the defense of Nanhai Town.

The retreat of the Blood Cave Clan may also be explained by the pressure of Orgrimmar, but the Dark Pine Trolls of Shattered Ridge have no worries about this, Yu Bin originally thought that those Dark Pine Trolls would seize the opportunity to attack when the expeditionary force had just begun to march, the camp was not yet strong, and the logistics were not enough to launch an attack, but so far, those trolls still showed no signs of leaving Broken Ridge.

"What do you think?" Yu Bin asked Alan.

"I've always felt that the battle in the Silver Pines Forest is too peaceful! Over the past few days, Suifeng and I have spent hours there gathering information every day, and so far we have barely seen any Shadow Werewolves attacking those human players, and the orcs and trolls have only appeared a handful of times, and only one or two at a time. ”

Alan seemed to think for a moment and continued, "I thought that when those human armies entered the Silver Pines Forest, werewolf attacks would be very frequent, and they would seize the opportunity to consume the human power at any cost, otherwise the situation would be very bad for Arugao when the expeditionary force advanced to Shadowfang Castle. ”

"But the situation in the entire Silver Pine Forest is calm now, isn't it?"

"That's right! It felt like a march, similar to when we first attacked the pass. ”

"Have you seen any shadowwerewolves these days?"

"There are, but very few, and they hardly attack humans." Alan replied without hesitation.

Yu Bin nodded, this is indeed a question worth scrutinizing: "I know." I have brought some things back from the treasury of Maltan and put them in the thunder light, and you will also go and see them, and if they are useful to you, you can take them and use them first. ”

The loot looted from Maltan's treasury was temporarily stored by Yu Bin in the Psychic Academy, and some of the ore and raw materials were given to Professor Kasdinov for his help in crafting a few pieces of equipment that could be used to replace the damage they had destroyed during their previous journey to the underworld.

While Yu Bin was preparing and wanted to intervene in this war, Nandus, the wolf king who had come to the world of Entagri by summoning the magic circle again, finally reunited his body, found an opportunity to leave the Shadow Fang Castle, and came to the Broken Ridge with a few powerful men.

He was greeted by Tuscal, the Shadowhunter who had met Nandus in the first place, and the cunning Shadowhunter was a little surprised that Nandus had come to the door in person.

"I thought you'd stay in the Silverpine Forest with your compatriots to deal with those damn humans!" Tuska led Nandus towards the clan altar in the depths of the Broken Ridge and said, "Unfortunately, the priests are in the middle of a ritual, and you'll have to wait a while before you see them." ”

Nandus kept looking around the scenery along the way, and could tell that the Dark Pine Clan was not a large troll clan, and they didn't even have the ability to transform the entire Broken Ridge into a troll-style city, and could only build a few small settlements on the few flat grounds.

"You don't seem to have the slightest atmosphere of war! Could it be that the defeat of Nanhai Town has caused you to lose your courage? ”

"You don't have to taunt me! The priests are the ones who decide whether or not the clan continues this war, and if you want to be a lobbyist for Arugao, save your strength until the priests are willing to see you! ”

Nandus grinned, "Arugao is not qualified to order me yet!" I'm here to restore you Dark Pine Trolls to their ancient glory, is that how you treat your benefactors? ”

"Don't lie, Nandus! Now you can't even protect yourself, and you still have the face to say that you can restore us to glory! Don't forget, it wasn't so long ago that it was because of your stupidity that we Dark Pine Trolls paid the loss of more than 7,000 people! ”

"Whether it's a lie or not, you'll find out soon!"

Nandus waited for almost an hour to see the chief of the Dark Pine Clan and the new High Priest. Obviously, these two did not have a good attitude towards the wolf king.

"Werewolf, what do you want from the Dark Pine Clan?"

With a smug expression, Nandus said, "I can let you summon the blood god Haka to this world once again!" ”

"What did you say?" The Dark Pine Chieftain and High Priest were shocked by Nandus's answer, since the last time they summoned the blood god Haka to the world of Entagri and destroyed almost half of the Hillsbrad Hills, the Dark Pine Clan has not been able to establish a solid connection with this god, which has caused the entire Dark Pine Clan to be unable to obtain Haka's blessing, and has had to shrink its power until it is trapped in the Broken Ridge. If Haka can be summoned again, or even just to establish a stable connection with this god, the strength of the entire Dark Pine Clan will be greatly increased.

"If I'm not mistaken, you can't establish a stable line of contact with that crown now, do you?"

For a believer in any deity, the only way to contact the deity they believe in is to perform a sacrificial ritual, especially for an evil god like Haka, who is willing to bless a part of his divine power only when the believer gives him a large amount of his soul.

And the Dark Pine Clan trapped in the Broken Ridge is no longer able to hold blood sacrifices as often as they used to, which makes Haka more and more reluctant to waste his divine power on them.

"What can you do? What is your purpose? ”

Nandus's eyes twinkled with a sly and cruel glint: "I can provide you with more than three thousand humans, all of whom have been captured by my wolf cubs so far and prepared to be transformed into werewolves. I think that's enough for you to have a blood ritual on a large enough scale. ”

Sacrificing 3,000 souls to the gods at one time can already be regarded as a large-scale blood sacrifice ceremony, not to mention contacting Haka, even if Haka descends a clone, it may not be difficult.

"In addition, I can provide you with the corpse of a Legendary Shadow Dragon, which is enough to contain the full power of a god for a short period of time."

Faced with the price offered by Nandus, the Darkpine Chief and the High Priest simply could not refuse, because they knew that the blood god Haka wanted to descend on the world of Ntagri more than once for countless years, enveloping it in fear and despair, and then turning it into his power. And if they succeed in summoning the power of Haka into this world, then as believers, they will receive the supreme blessing and reward of the gods.

Thinking of this, an excited expression appeared on the faces of the Dark Pine Chief and the High Priest: "Then what do you want from His Majesty Haka?" Strength? Is it still eternal life? ”

"I'm not interested in those! My only request is that you destroy the damned humans. The Hills Bled Hills will belong to the Dark Pine Trolls, and even the Silverpine Forest can be given to you, but the Tirisfaring Glade must become a breeding ground for the Shadow Werewolves. ”
