The sword will not hesitate.

Just like this old Eastern proverb, the decision-making level of Stormwind City is as decisive and fierce as a sword, and now the land of this rare order-side dungeon in the Shadow Realm is filled with an aura of tension.

The war has broken out!

In "On the Eve of the Holy War", the "Battle of the Gnolls", which should have been delayed for several months, broke out early!

And the trigger for all this was the earth-shattering battle near Fort of Fear.

Rhodes never expected that the upper echelons of Stormwind City would maintain such an efficient work efficiency, and since the battle he fought in the Hunting Mountains, the entire Stormwind City almost immediately launched the war.

Everything is so abrupt!

Rhodes had traveled to most of Ash, whether it was the eastern kingdoms or the city-states of the western continent, and they all had bloated ruling institutions and outrageously slow efficiency.

Once in the north of the five islands, because of the "demon world descended" influence, buried in the ancient ruins buried under the earth there have been changes, some of the ghost of the indigenous race has been bewitched, they crazy worship evil spirits, caused a huge impact on the order of the five islands, due to the bullshit political compromise and transaction of the noble council of the five islands, and finally forced the flames of the riot that should have been extinguished to expand.

Rhodes witnessed the events known as the "Northern Rebellion", which directly led to the complete chaos in the north, and in the future catastrophe that swept the entire Ash, the north became a big quagmire that consumed Ash's power.

It was after seeing the incompetence of the ruling strata of this world that Rod was so worried about the future.

However, Stormwind deserves to be known as the "City of Dark Light".

In the dangerous environment of the Shadow Domain, in order to ensure the safety of the territory, Stormwind City, which is biased towards the order side, still has the ability to handle things efficiently, at least in terms of dealing with foreign enemies, they have a good ability to deal with foreign enemies.

Like this "Battle of the Gnolls".

Originally, according to the original plot, Stormwind would have begun to delay the conquest of the gnolls because it detected the pretenders in the dark, and through half a year of delay, although Stormwind City was fully prepared, it also gave those conspirators behind it time to plan the conspiracy.

Although Stormwind was defeated by the misjudgment of the higher-ups who underestimated the forces behind the Gnolls, it still shows that Stormwind has a keen sense of danger and excellent handling ability.

Now.

Because of Rhodes' battle in the Mountains, something changed.

On the other side of the hunting mountain, there were originally several large tribes of jackals and some scattered ogres, goblins and other tribes gathering, and they could cross the mountain range at any time to attack the dreadful castle.

But now, because of Rhodes, the scattered monsters wandering in the hunting mountains, as well as the wanderers in the major dungeons, are like an invisible wall, inadvertently blocking the follow-up of the gnolls.

Plus the next few weeks are "Wind Element Week".

The higher-ups of Stormwind immediately decided to eliminate the gnolls who were currently in Stormwind territory.

After deciding on the war, in addition to the main city of Stormwind City began to gather troops and deploy various troops, the major gathering places centered on Stormwind City and the intelligent tribes living in this land began to act.

…………

Black Rock Cluster.

When the entire territory of Stormwind was shrouded in the shadow of war, it was no exception, and dozens of hunting teams belonging to the gathering place were summoned.

Originally, according to the previous clearance order issued by Stormwind.

The main task of these settlements is to clear the gnolls in the vicinity of the settlement, as long as the daily needs of the agglomeration can be ensured. All clean-up operations have to be based on the people in the gathering place, and the main city of Stormwind will not help.

That's why Hammer, the Great Axe Striker, asks Rhodes to find his mysterious uncle.

But now it's different.

Stormwind has issued a "Total War Mobilization Order".

In other words, Stormwind will officially send troops to eliminate the powerful gnolls in the vicinity, and for the major gathering places, Stormwind will also send a special clearing team to help.

A corner of the Black Rock Cluster.

In one room, Mullen was casually sitting on a large animal-skin chair, holding a fine glass of ale in his hand, drinking it while rubbing it with the other, rubbing it on the body of a good-looking half-elf.

It was a common half-elf in the Shadow Realm, and the half-elves who had inherited half of the blood of those elves often had this good look. The contours of their faces are softer than those of human women, and the beautiful melon seed face always evokes certain desires in the hearts of men.

It can be seen that Mullen is in a good mood.

He held the wine glass in one hand, and pulled the sexy and seductive half-elf woman on his thigh with the other, and the palm of his hand kept rubbing the half-elf's body, feeling the blurry pleasure on his body, and the half-drow couldn't help but open the seductive red lips and let out a whimsical cry.

Suddenly.

A thin man pushed the door in, and he was not surprised when he saw Mullen's appearance, he seemed to have become accustomed to it, after all, as the third master of the Black Rock gathering place, Mullen is also a big man, and this bit of enjoyment can still be had.

"Boss, I still haven't been contacted!"

The thin man's face was a little ugly, and he glanced at Mullen, and he whispered. As Maren's subordinate, he knows very well who his boss is, and once Mullen asks you to do something, if it fails, he won't miss any old feelings.

"Huh?"

Ma Lun, who was in a somewhat happy mood, turned a little gloomy, and he casually pushed away the half-elf woman on his body, motioned for her to leave, and whispered to the man: "Waste! ”

Hearing Ma Lun's scolding, the man's originally ugly face became a little frightened.

He lowered his head, cold sweat began to break out, and as for the half-elf woman, he didn't even dare to glance at it.

"Forget it! The big war is coming, so I'll spare you this time, get out! Also, let the 'ghost' come back and bring people here as soon as he returns, and don't do anything to make me unhappy! ”

Maren said coldly.

After hearing this, the man below was like a pardon, and almost crawled out of the room.

"Demon spirit elixir, I'm bound to get it!"

After everyone left, Mullen sat alone in his chair, his eyes twinkling and his mouth muttering.

He was the third boss of the Black Rock Gathering Area, but he had always been disdainful of Hammer and the big boss, and Mullen had always felt that those two guys were just simple-minded and well-limbed brutes.

In the Shadow Realm, there is no shortage of powerful warriors, like Hammer, who can grab a lot of them.

And Maren is a very rare advanced profession - [Shadowman]

This is an advanced class of [Assassin], which is different from the pure physical skills of the Assassin, and the Shadow Bearer can obtain a lot of skills related to the use of "Shadow Power" after advancement, including [Dark Vision], [Sight Hide], [Shadow Jump] and other specialties can be easily understood.

They are closer to the shadows, and even after the class level increases, the shadows can also use some shadow-based spells, which is simply a higher class for the hard-pressed warrior class.

That's what it takes.

The Shadow Bearer is also known as the "Shadow Darling".

Just as many mages see all melee classes as meat shields and do manual work, these shadowmen often look down on warriors and low-level classes.

The difference is.

The reason why mages ignore melee classes is because after a set of spell bonuses, even crispy skin can be turned into a meat shield, and they have the capital to ignore it. And the superiority of the shadowers comes from inferiority, after all, these people hidden in the shadows are destined to be as beautiful as mages, so they can only find some superiority in their hearts.

"As soon as the [Demon Spirit Elixir] arrives, hum, after I advance to the third order, I will have to kneel and lick any Black Rock Gathering Place or Hammer!"

Maren thought with some smugness, as if the entire Black Rock Gathering Place had become his bag in front of him.

- Demonic Elixir.

It is a shadow-based magic potion configured by mages, which can greatly enhance a person's affinity for shadows, and for a profession like [Shadow Seeker], being able to take such a secret medicine will have a great effect on improving strength.

Just like the [Dragon's Blood Elixir] and [Black Tiger Elixir], they can both permanently increase the user's "strength" or "elemental affinity" and other attributes.

However, often this kind of potion that can permanently improve its attributes is extremely precious, and the pharmacist who can configure it will have to charge a lot of money.

Even the lowest-tier bottle of this potion can bankrupt a mid-level adventurer.

Very lucky.

Mullen has access to such a vial of potion at a very low cost.

"As long as you catch a few weak girls, you can exchange for a bottle of [Demon Spirit Elixir], what a good deal!"

The muttering Maren had a glint in his eyes.

That's right.

Ma Lun just wanted to catch Scarlet and Yue'er and exchange them for a bottle of [Demon Spirit Elixir].

Originally, Mullen was still a little jealous of their mysterious uncle, but after learning about the agreement between Hammer and Rhodes a few days ago, he suspected that the mysterious adventurer was afraid that something had happened, otherwise why he didn't come back for so long.

Coupled with the terrifying fluctuations that came from the hunting mountains a few days ago.

The growing tension in Stormwind was unsettling for Mullen, who was responsible for the detection of the Jackals as the trio responsible for most of the Assassins, Thieves, and Wanderers throughout the Colony.

It's a dangerous job.

It was also at this time that he was extremely eager for power, and only strength could allow him to survive in this turmoil, and in the end, the yearning for power completely made Mullen make up his mind, he wanted to do this vote!

It's a big deal to finish this ticket, he will go to Stormwind City, go to other places, and the third-order shadow master is a popular powerhouse no matter where he goes.

As long as he stays away from the Black Rock Gathering Place, no matter what secrets there are behind those little girls, it has nothing to do with him. Ma Len is not stupid, he knows very well that the secret behind exchanging a few little girls for a bottle of [Demon Spirit Secret Medicine] that he can't buy even if he is bankrupt is definitely not something he can get involved in.

Just then, a noisy sound came from outside the door.

"What's going on?"

The violent expression on Mullen's face flashed, he had been very irritated for the matter of the Jackal in the recent past, and if anyone didn't provoke him at this time, he would let people know what cruelty was.
