The next morning, the Wasteland.

It is a barren land of dry heat, dry and boneless, with earthy yellow dry earth and Gobi as far as the eye can see, and only occasionally there are tenacious greens such as cacti and bushes.

But this land has not always been so barren, in fact, hundreds of years ago the Barren Land was as beautiful as the Elwyn Forest, but just like the two lands known today as the Scorching Canyon and the Burning Plains, the Barren Land became what it is today after that great catastrophe, and humans and dwarves fled with it, except for the various monsters that still roamed the land.

Now, in this land where humans have been extinct for many years, there is once again a trace of human beings, as the spell fluctuations flashed, Gianna in a purple cloak took the lead in teleporting out, she frowned lightly and looked around, as if she was a little uncomfortable with this harsh environment, but soon she remembered what was going on, she stretched out her white fingers and swiped a few times in the air, and another spell fluctuation flashed, and Claudia appeared beside her.

Gianna said, "As I saw and reminded you in the Expedition Codex, it wasn't a wise decision to wear so much armor here. ”

"But as mentioned in the Codex of Exploration, this place has never been very safe, full of ogres, beasts, gnolls, and black iron dwarves, and safety is the number one priority." Claudia's voice sounded, she also frowned at the harsh environment around her, although Claudia was not wearing a big hat today, but the enchanted plate armor and Mithril chain mail on her body were a lot, obviously not suitable for this hot environment, she turned her head to look at Gianna, and made a joke:

"Besides, you're not going to watch me turn into a teppanyaki, are you?"

"That's not for sure." Gianna smiled playfully, but she waved her fingers and condensed a pure ice magic onto the surface of Claudia's armor, helping her ward off the heat around her.

Feeling the cool feeling, Claudia suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and she smiled at Gianna and gave a knightly salute: "What an honor, Your Highness the Princess." ”

"It is an equally honourable honour, Your Majesty." Gianna replied with a smile, and then she untied the purple cloak from her body and chanted a spell, and the purple cloak became nearly ten times larger and suspended in the air.

Gianna lightly jumped on the purple cloak and made an invitation to Claudia, Claudia also held Gianna's hand and jumped up, but unlike Gianna's calmness, she obviously didn't trust this cloak very much, and her eyes had turned pure silver and carefully analyzed the cloak.

"Don't worry, for this expedition, I specially asked Master Bright Lines to buy this multi-functional double flying carpet to practice for two days, and it is absolutely as safe and reliable as my flying skills."

Gianna chuckled, and then the staff of Antonidas in her hand waved lightly, and the flying carpet began to carry Claudia and Gianna into the air quickly, Claudia shook and instinctively hugged Gianna, but she reacted immediately, her face turned red and quickly let go of the archmage, and changed the subject:

"Heading northwest, I can feel what we're looking for right there."

"Good!" Gianna laughed, and she began to fly in that direction on the magic carpet under Claudia's direction.

Gianna was not wrong, in terms of controlling the magic carpet, she was obviously the old Si Ji, Gianna showed a lively side that was completely different from her usual elegant and quiet image, not only flying fast, but also her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and like a girl, she let out a crisp and beautiful laugh from time to time, obviously she enjoyed this feeling of flying freely in the sky.

Claudia smiled as she sat on the magic carpet with Domka in her arms, and for the first time she had the experience of flying on the magic carpet, she sensed the location of her target while admiring the view of the Wasteland, and pointed Gianna to fly.

Two hours later, in the northwest of the Badlands.

Claudia was standing on the ground, her eyes closed, the sigil of order visible from the center of her eyebrows, sensing carefully, while Gianna had put her cloak back on to resist the scorching sun.

After a long time, Claudia opened her eyes, and Gianna asked, "How is it, is this here?" ”

Claudia nodded: "Well, I can feel it, the Nogannon Disc is directly below, and now I can tell where the approximate entrance of Uldaman is, I hope the two entrances of Uldaman are not completely sealed, otherwise we will have to dig to enter." ”

"I think Brian, they're definitely happy to help."

"Well, try not to let them come over now," Claudia smiled, and was about to say something more, when suddenly she looked in a direction, and her eyes turned silver for a moment: "It seems that we are being targeted by orcs." ”

"Orcs?"

Gianna was a little confused, but she soon noticed the uninvited guest as well.

More than forty orcs appeared in the distance, most of them were warriors, and there was also a warlock and a few musketeers, none of their skin was dark gray, which indicated that they were not blackstone orcs, and the orcs were rapidly approaching this side.

Claudia pulled out the Domka and asked, "What to do?" It seems that they have bad intentions. ”

"It's probably a small clan that has settled here, so let's have a simple communication first," Gianna said after thinking, even though she knew that the other party might have bad intentions, she still hoped to try the possibility of peaceful coexistence with the other party.

"Okay." Claudia nodded.

Soon, as the orcs approached a distance, Gianna swung her left hand forward.

Bang bang bang!

A row of ice spikes more than a meter high rose up in front of the orcs, and the orcs stopped with a look of horror on their faces, and looked at their leader, the warlock with a hood who couldn't see his face clearly, Gianna blessed herself with a fluent language and said:

"This is just a warning, orcs, we are just passing through this place, with no intention of fighting you, and your orc's current high chieftain Thrall has established a home for you in Camlidor, and your clan can leave this barren land."

"The slave? Hehehe-" There was a seeping sneer from under the hood, Claudia's face immediately turned cold, and she raised her sword to guard in front of Gianna, only to see the warlock's voice continue to sound: "My target is you, the queen of mankind." Dragonthroat Clan, kill her and avenge the son of the Great Chief of the Black Hand! ”

As the Warlock's voice fell, battle broke out, and the orcs shouted "Blood and thunder!" Several musketeers quickly raised their muskets and aimed them at fire.

It's up to you?

Claudia was disdainful, but she didn't take the initiative to rush into the crowd of orcs to kill as usual, but raised her sword to stay by Gianna's side, usually the archmage will have a warrior to guard when facing a melee, otherwise even if she is as strong as Medivan, she was stabbed to death by a sword from the mage apprentice, and today Gianna has no other warriors around her, so Claudia temporarily fulfilled the duty of a protector.

Bang bang bang!

The muskets in the orc musketeers roared, and several buckshot shots were aimed at Gianna, and in the face of this scene, Claudia's eyes turned silvery white for a moment, allowing her to see clearly that three of them were threatening Gianna, and she quickly turned sideways and waved Stoneka to block the trajectory of those lead bullets.

Bang Bang Bang!

Claudia stopped all three of the buckshots, relieving that Gianna's musketeer, who was the most threatening to her, would not be able to shoot for at least twenty seconds, and then she raised her sword to meet the orc warrior who had rushed to the nearest one, and in an instant, blood splattered, and Domka cut one of the orcs in half from head to belly.

And Gianna behind Claudia also began to release magic, the current battle distance and scale of the battle made her choose the magic of mass destruction on the battlefield, but chose a more effective and suitable ability, the staff of Antonidas in her hand waved lightly, several cold flashes, several orcs were all hit hard, they were all pierced by the ice spikes on the ground one after another, and lost their combat effectiveness, and the injured orcs let out a huge scream, and on the other side, several orcs were already close.

Claudia caught up with the orcs, she moved as fast as the same wind elemental, jumping back and forth in the direction of several orcs approaching Gianna, she charged to the left, Stommka drew a perfect semicircle, slashing the orc with an axe, and the next second she intercepted in another direction, stabbing another orc warrior with a deadly stab.

The number of orc warriors is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Gianna became more and more anxious, and she shouted to Claudia while waving her fingers in the air to cast spells: "Claudia, leave me alone, fight quickly, this is very wrong." ”

"Okay, you protect yourself!" After hearing Gianna's reminder, Claudia immediately understood, the other party knew who she was and dared to send a team of this level to deal with her, either an idiot or another plan, Claudia didn't think that the warlock was an idiot.

Thinking of the Warlock, Claudia suddenly realized that she had ignored what the Orc Warlock was doing, the Orc Warlock had not cast a curse or a shadow spell on her or Gianna in the fierce battle just now, which was obviously very unusual, after killing another Orc warrior, Claudia had a brief moment of respite--- which was enough, her silver eyes allowed her to quickly see what the Warlock was doing behind the several orcs in front of her, only to see the Warlock's side, Two powerful portals are taking shape.

How did he manage to open two doors at the same time?

Claudia was a little strange, but she didn't have time to think about it, and as the spell fluctuated, she appeared in front of the warlock, and Domka slashed at the warlock with a terrible chill.

The spellcaster did not resist, he chose to continue to maintain the portal, and a yellow tooth smile appeared on his face, triumphant: "My life and soul are dedicated to En--! ”

Laugh at!

The warlock's head was cut off by Claudia's sword, and blood spurted, but Claudia did not have the slightest smugness, and the warlock sacrificed his soul and life to a certain being before he died, replacing the mana, so that the two portals could quickly and completely take shape, and each of the two portals emitted a rushing light, and two huge monsters walked out of the portal.

Stepping out of the portal on the left is a huge half-dragon and half-human creature that exudes terrifying power, wearing heavy purple armor with defensive magic energy and wielding a huge long knife.

"Drake, and ---。" Claudia looked at the second monster with fear and called out its name, "Faceless! ”
