Chapter 57: Torture (II)
"Human, even if you know a lot, you will never know the whereabouts of that dwarf, he is dead, and my corpse has been used for experiments. Perhaps in the near future, you'll see a brand new creature that will be part of the Burning Legion, charging at the forefront like a hound. Use its warhammer to blast through your fragile defenses. "Hahaha......
The demon let out a disgusting laugh.
Sylvanas was furious and wanted to kill it. But he was stopped by Ares in time.
"Don't beat around the bush, demon, just as you can't read my mind, you can never fool me. Put away your arrogance, I know, a lot more than you think. I even know that your master, Kilgardan, is eager to find the portal and reach this world. The Lich King has betrayed you, Illidan has betrayed you, and you were going to use them, only to be betrayed. Hehe, you think you are powerful, however, even the mortals of this world cannot control it. Do you speak of your strength to yourself? Illidan is still an elf after all, not to mention Nazuo and Arthas, an orc elder and a human prince. Mortals as well, none of them are controlled by your ** Kil'Gardan. What qualifications do you have for pride? A bunch of barbarians who can only conquer the world by force, without a little brain. ”
After stopping Sylvanas, Ares coldly taunted the demon lord who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
The bewitching spell could not be cast, and the mouth cannon was completely abused by Ares, and the demon lord was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall...... But it was still imprisoned and unable to move...... Ares's words were sharper than a sword, stimulating its proud heart. For the first time, it can be said that it was despised by mortals...... And the point is that almost everything this paladin said is true......
The question is, how did this human lord know this? The first time he crossed the Dark Gate, he knew exactly what was happening in the Outlands. He hasn't set foot in Northrend yet, but he knows the story of the Lich King. In front of Ares, the Demon Lord felt that his three views had been lost......
"You ......"
The Demon Lord was speechless in surprise. And at this time, Ares said something that surprised him even more-
"You must be wondering, why do I know so much? Let me tell you, I know, that's not all. I know that Furstad is not dead, as you said, he was captured by you, on the eastern side of this continent - the Zangar Marshes. ”
……
As soon as Ares's words fell, both the Demon Lord and Sylvanas looked at Ares with an extremely surprised gaze.
"You ......"
The Demon Lord stammered, for the first time, it stammered in front of a mortal......
Sylvanas, on the other hand, looked at the paladin in front of him in surprise. If Ares knew Furstad's whereabouts, why did he say it until now? And, you know, why interrogate it? At this moment, a series of mysteries rolled in Sylvanas's mind.
"Well, even if you knew, you wouldn't have time to save him. That dwarf is now estimated to have become an experiment in the Burning Legion, and he will be reborn in a pool of boiling blood! ”
Recovering from the shock, the Demon Lord laughed again.
Ares didn't even look at it, opened the prison door, and galloped out.
……
"Notify the Hammer Knight immediately and head to the Zangar Swamp!"
After rushing out of the cell, Ares shouted at Sylvanas. At the same time, the Snow Eagle was called.
In less than a moment, the snow eagle screamed and landed on the main square of the town. Sylvanas followed Ares and turned onto the griffon. The snow eagle let out a long roar, and under the gaze of everyone, it flapped its wings and flew high. Ares took off right after him, along with the three hundred Hammer Dwarven Knights. The brigade of griffons soared through the air.
"Ares, how did you know that the Hammer Dwarf leader was in the Zangar Swamp?"
On the griffin's back, Sylvanas hugged Ares's waist tightly and asked curiously.
"I know? No, I don't know...... I'm just testing it, because if you ask directly, you won't be able to answer it. I said the most likely place, and if the demon's contemptuous ridicule proved that I was not in the right place, then we would have to find the answer in the rest of the places. But if I'm right, the demon will look shocked. As it turned out, I guessed right. ”
Sitting on the back of the griffin, Ares turned his head and said.
Sylvanas' sudden realization...... The human paladin in front of him is really smart, and on the spot, even he was deceived, if it weren't for Ares' current explanation, he might still be in doubt.
In the autumn wind, the griffons soared high in the sky, and the landscape of the land changed color under their noses, from endless red to mossy pale green, and then to deathly black. Looking at the dark green sky in the distance, Ares knew that he and the group of Brute Hammer Dwarves were about to enter the largest wetland in the Outlands, the Zangar Marsh Continent. The road to find Vorstad is still a long way off, and although everyone knows that the Hammer Lord is in the swamp, the Zangar swamp is so big that it is obviously very difficult to find a lone dwarf. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, from the demon's words, Ares probably learned some information, as long as he followed the demon's trail, he could find Vorstad.
Due to the long journey, Ares and Sylvanas even fell asleep on the back of the griffin.
Two days later, the Hammer Knight spotted the demon's trail at the junction of the Hellfire Peninsula and the Zangar Marshes. It was a small temple where about thirty demon guards and three hundred orc slaves were entrenched, and the orcs became slaves of the demons. Help the demons build the Blood Altar. Such small temples and altars can be found everywhere on the Hellfire Peninsula. Through sacrifices, demons can maintain the stability of the portal, thus bringing more demon armies into this world.
Upon spotting the demon, the Hammer Knights shouted and swooped down with their storm hammers. The orc slaves were the first to run in panic, while the demon guards raised their weapons to fight back. But in the face of the large number of Hammer Knights, the thirty or so demon warriors were quickly defeated, their heads shattered by the dwarves' storm hammers, like exploding watermelons, and demon shards were scattered all over the ground.
In this camp, Ares and the Hammer Dwarves did not receive any information about Vorstad, but accidentally rescued a Night Elf hunter and obtained information from another mysterious organization, the Cenarion Expeditionary Force. An expedition of Night Elf druids, with a large number of warriors and hunters, making it more of a legion. And no longer just an expedition.
