Chapter 510: The Pit

After the victory of the Second Orc War, although the orc tribe was defeated and the Dark Gate was destroyed, on the ruins of the Dark Gate, the torn dimensional barrier has not completely healed, and there are still many small dimensional rifts here, and the corruption of the orc world by evil energy has spread to Azeroth through these rifts, and at the other end of the rift, the remnants of the orcs may also make a comeback through these rifts, so it is large. Law. Khadgar proposes to build a fortress on the high ground north of the Dark Gate to suppress the corruption of the earth and monitor the Dark Gate's every move.

Khadgar's proposal was supported by the Alliance, and after a large amount of money was invested, the construction of the Watchtower was soon completed. This decision proved to be a wise one, as just six months after the completion of the Watchkeep, Neozu led the remnants of the orcs to reopen the Dark Portal and re-enter Azeroth to seize the artifacts of the Eye of Dalaran, the Book of Medivan, and the Scepter of Sargeras. And it was on the basis of the fortified watchfort that the coalition forces held out until the arrival of Tulayan and reinforcements.

In order to end the threat of the orcs once and for all, the Alliance sent Tulayan, Khadgar, Aurelia Windrunner, Dana Stollbain, and Kudran Hammer to lead the expeditionary force into the Dark Door.

However, Neozu used the Three Artifacts to build many portals to other worlds in the Dark Temple, trying to lead the orcs to escape from the hopeless Draenor who had been corrupted by evil powers. However, the energy surge caused by the simultaneous opening of a large number of portals tore the entire Draenor, causing the entire planet to disintegrate and disintegrate, and the destroyed Draenor was left with only a large suspended continent, which was later called the Outlands.

In order to prevent the fallout from Draenor's destruction from spreading to Azeroth, the five heroes made the great decision to destroy the dark portal on Draenor's side, cutting off all hope of returning to their homeland.

The Dark Gate on Azeroth's side has been preserved, and since then, the Watchhold has had an additional sacred duty. The garrison of the Watch Fortress monitored all movements day and night, exterminating all the demons that had passed through the small rifts, and waiting for the return of the expeditionary force. Even in the hard years when the Kingdom of Lordaeron was destroyed and the Seven Nations Alliance fell apart, they always adhered to this watch, day and night, and never slackened.

But not everyone could endure this long and hopeless life of garrison, and when the passion of the past was worn away, the blood was no longer boiling, and faced with the dilemma of lack of supplies and supplies, some of the Watchman Regiment left this desolate barren land and returned to their homeland.

In the past, serving at Fort Watch was once seen as a sign of glory and selfless dedication to duty, and many knights, people of status, and nobles volunteered to join the watchmen. However, as the alliance fell apart, there were fewer and fewer nobles who volunteered to defend here, and even if there were, they only came here for a month or two, and then left. In recent years, even this kind of aristocracy that came to gild has become extinct. Waynes can't remember how long it's been since he's seen a volunteer.

"Are you serious?" He asked incredulously.

"It's true!" Diego replied firmly, "We're here to solve the problem, and if the situation is serious, I can transfer the entire Moon Creek Brigade, but you know, that requires King Varian's permission!" ”

"What have you heard?" The commander keenly caught Diego's affirmative tone, and looked at him with some vigilance, "What's the problem?" About tonight's attack? ”

"No, the information I learned was vague and did not specify the attack." Diego replied, and as he walked, he told Waynes exactly what had happened to him at Minethil.

"The Dark Gate will be opened again, and enemies from the Twisted Void will re-enter the world......" Waynes repeatedly smacked at the phrase about the Dark Gate in the so-called oracle described by Diego, which seemed to him to be simply saying "The Burning Legion is coming again!" ”

"What is the evil god of Enzos, are you sure there really is such a thing?" He turned his head and looked at Diego with some hesitation, as a big old man who had been promoted from the bottom, he had never heard of the name of this evil god. In fact, what happened in antiquity is so distant that even many scholars have not heard of the name of Enzos.

"I'm sure!" Diego replied briefly.

By this time they had entered the main castle, through the cramped corridors and winding escalators, and reached the hall on the third floor. The chairs in the hall were empty, and the two squires who had stayed behind stepped up and helped Waynes remove his heavy armor and hang it on the armor shelves by the wall.

"Sit down, folks," said Waynes unceremoniously, slumping into the largest fur-covered chair in the hall without a proper shape, and then deftly pulled a wine bottle and a few glasses from the secret cabinet under the table and placed them on the table.

"Come, all of them, Watchcastle spirits, a specialty of this hellish place," he exclaimed, as he poured the wine into his glass, "a glass after a great war is the most perfect pleasure in the world, and this is almost the meaning of my life!" ”

Diego had just sat down in the chair in front of the table when he saw a wine glass slide down the table. It was a dwarven-style tin goblet made of a standard twelveth liter shape.

The wine in the glass was ochre-red, about the color of the sand of the Cursed Lands, and he could smell the strong smell of alcohol even from an arm's length away.

"This kind of wine has to be drunk in one sip to make it more flavorful!" Waynes picked up one of them and said with a smile.

"A sip and a cup?" Diego asked incredulously. He had heard the name of this wine in his previous life, but he had never drunk it.

"Yes, it's like this!" Waynes raised his glass and drank it down, then let it down as if nothing had happened, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"For victory!" He said with a smile.

"Well, for victory!" Diego picked up his glass and swallowed it in one gulp.

"For victory!" The Night Elves followed.

The moment the wine entered his throat, Diego knew he had been fooled. He felt as if he had swallowed a cup of magma, and the hot molten liquid rushed down his throat, burning the mucous membrane of his digestive tract as much as he could, like a red-hot iron rod, stabbing from his throat all the way into his stomach, making people feel pain and death.

Beside him, the Night Elves were closing their lips tightly, lest a single mouth would spit out long pillars of fire like a fire dragon! His violet skin had now turned crimson, as if his whole person was burning.

As if he had been punched in the head, Diego shook his dizzy head, trying to clear himself. In a trance, he saw that the commander of the Watch Fort was looking at him urgently, and it was clear that this guy knew what the reaction would be when he drank this kind of wine for the first time, and this was a pit!

"Waynes, you big liar, I'm going to duel with you!" Diego angrily ripped off his dragonskin glove and threw it at Waynes, but the glove flew over his target's head at least four feet away and slammed into the wall. 2k reading web
