"What happened?" Diego asked as he walked downstairs.

"I feel a little uneasy, there seems to be a magic fluctuation in front of the position, but everything seems to be normal, and none of the soldiers have reported anything wrong," Masrae explained in a low voice, as if to prove his point, he added, "Guan Haifa is also a little uneasy, it must have found something!" ”

Diego stepped out of the bunker and looked out at the front of the position.

The defensive position of this bunker has been quite well constructed, with a forest of deer barricades, deep and staggered trenches, and strong and thick low walls, and everywhere there is an air of heavily guarded tension. In fact, this is also the requirement of the Alliance Command, while the offensive and decisive battles on the central and western fronts are carried out, the bunker groups on the eastern front must maintain the threat to the demon fortress in order to contain the forces of the Burning Legion.

Due to Christopher Ferrar's previous warning order, the soldiers were now engrossed in staring at the front of the bunker, although the main battlefield was in full swing, but this did not prevent them from focusing on their own acres of land - they were all veterans, and they knew that their lives were more important than anything else.

Guan Haifa was squatting on a low wall, looking warily at an open area not far away. Seeing Diego walk out of the fortress, he quickly jumped off the low wall, walked to Diego's side and rubbed his calf affectionately. At the same time, a message was transmitted to Diego's mind through a soul connection.

"Oh?" Diego looked at it with some surprise, then pulled out his M500 pistol, opened the nest, refilled it with a few flares, and fired a shot at the big cat's indication.

With a muffled sound of "tom", a violently burning ball of light pierced the sky and slowly fell in front of the deer. When it was still three or four meters from the ground, a dark green ball suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

That's an eyeball the size of a watermelon! There were no eyelids, no blood vessels and nerves, and a solitary eyeball was suspended above the ground, wrapped in a layer of oily green evil energy. In the middle of this eyeball is a snake-eyed erected pupil, which looks evil and terrifying.

Eye of Kilrog! Diego recognized it at a glance - a variant of the Beholder, a demonic creature often summoned by Eredar Warlocks for vigilance and scouting, and while the little creature itself was ineffective, it had a terrifying deterrent power in the vast universe - because every time it appeared, the demon armies were not far away.

The sneaking Eye Demon was visibly panicked when it was illuminated, it froze for a moment, and then quickly clinged to the ground and fled into the distance, but before it could escape far, several of the closest Mooncreek Brigade soldiers had already fired without hesitation. With a few popping sounds, the eyeball was hit one after the other, shattering into a puddle of green pus.

"All on alert!" The gunshots rang out with the loud command of Harry Burgard. He also knew what the appearance of the Eye of Kilrog meant.

Everyone, human and dwarven, clenched their weapons and headed for their combat posts. The eyes of the people widened as they searched for the impending enemy. In the distance, in the cols, on the ridges, in the ravines, and even above the sky, they did not let go. However, a quarter of an hour passed, and no enemy appeared, not even the shadow of the head Cerberus.

"Maybe it's just a false alarm! It's just a lost wild eyer! Brian grinned, but it was known that it was impossible, the ability of this Eye Demon to survive in the physical realm was extremely low, and Azeroth had never found a precedent for its wild species so far.

In the next moment, the old dwarf's laughter stopped abruptly.

More than 60 meters in front of the bunker, the deer bush suddenly staggered. With a trembling "hiss", a behemoth suddenly jumped out from under the violently surging ground!

It was a huge, strip-like creature, more than ten meters long and one meter thick, and it looked like an oversized sandworm. Its lower body snaked on the ground, while its upper body was held high like a snake, and its mouth kept "hissing" sounds.

Its eyes have deteriorated, and only at the top of its body is a sharp mouth full of sharp teeth, and there are two huge chelica teeth on either side of the mouth, and from the corners of the mouth to the back of the body, there are five pairs of sharp claws symmetrically, which are the weapons it uses to drill holes in the rock.

"Digging Worms!" More than one person screamed. The bug had also been seen in Azeroth, in the Silisus Desert and in the Northrend Icefield in the north, but the one in front of it was not the same as its native relative, it was ochre-red and the same color as the sand underground, and it was much larger, with a thicker, tougher chitin shell.

Diego was the only one who knew that the mutated-looking digger was not a native but had come to the world through the Dark Portal, and that the aliens had once inhabited the distant orc planet of Draenor, and that they had not escaped the fate of being enslaved by the demons.

Faced with this burrowing worm that suddenly came out, both human archers and dwarven warriors were a little stunned for a while. They had assumed countless times that the enemy would surprise them if it came from the ground or from the air, but suddenly a bug came out of the ground, which was too much of a surprise to everyone.

But it was just a short stunned.

"Fire!"

The experienced Harry Bogard made a quick decision and roared. These underground predators are never good at stubble, they usually sneak beneath the surface, only breaking through the ground the moment they hunt their prey and killing them with a single blow – that is, when exposed to the surface, that's when the diggers are at their most ferocious!

A dense burst of gunfire rang out in front of the bunker. But for the sheer size of the burrower, the puncture caused by the bullet was not fatal, and the bug's nervous system was scattered and there was no vital part to speak of. Even though the musketeers had punched it all over it, they didn't kill it completely. Instead, because of the pain, the worm became ferocious, swallowing a dwarven warrior who had just rushed in front of him in one gulp.

The worm's sharp teeth kept chewing, and the hapless dwarf's full-body armor could protect him from dying so quickly, but it caused him more pain, and people could even hear his wails coming out of the worm's mouth.

Seeing this tragic scene, the faces of the surrounding dwarves turned pale one by one, and to add insult to injury, as a continuous burst of dust was raised, more digging insects jumped out of the ground around the bunker. All of a sudden, people's ears were filled with the shrill hiss of insects.

And that's not all, as hundreds of flaming imps and hellhounds pop out of the caverns that the bugs have burrowed out of them—the only demons of the famously large Burning Legion to pass through the narrow caverns.

At the same time, the ridges, ravines, hills, and depressions in the distance, wherever people could be hidden, burst out everywhere with longing figures, the long-dormant demon army, who had finally waited for the moment of the attack.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you will find that there are rolling streams of people everywhere converging towards the dwarven bunker, and it can be seen that this is a long-planned surprise attack, and with the chaotic and violent nature of the demons, it is really difficult for them to endure for so long!
