Chapter 188: Imminent
Crossing a stretch of marshland of nearly twenty kilometers, and climbing a thirty-kilometer slope in one go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoSir Lothar, who was a little anxious, took more than an hour from departure to arrival at Dammod, which was halfway up the mountain.
However, Sir Lothar, who seemed a little anxious when he was in a hurry, stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when he was actually standing in front of the barrier of the warping force field, and carefully sorted out his clothes.
Just as Ashkandi was frowning and Pasonia was curious, Os's figure changed in the air and walked out of the barrier that distorted the force field. He walked straight up to Sir Lothar and looked with emotion at Sir Lothar, who had grown old and a little gray after only half a year.
Sir Lothar looked Oss up and down again, and then stepped forward, hugged Oss vigorously like a dwarf, and said with relief, "You have finally arrived!" β
"Sir, thank you for your hard work." Oss sighed even more, his throat churned, and finally he only said such a sentence.
Sir Lothar laughed a few times, waved his hand, put his arm on Oss's shoulder, and said, "Don't say that, you have settled the war in the north, but I am still at a loss here." β
"So, according to the agreement, I have come to join forces with you!" Oss smiled slightly, confident but not arrogant, and his demeanor was shining!
Ashkandi glared at Oss with great displeasure, apparently overwhelmed by Oss's arrogance. Pasonia also raised an eyebrow, wondering if the Oss in front of her was the chick she had seen last time.
"Hahaha, I have a lot of questions waiting for you to answer." Sir Lothar's gloom and hesitation diminished, and he smiled.
Oss took Sir Lothar's hand and invited, "Go, Sir, let's go in." β
"Good!"
The air twisted and shifted, and the figures of Oss and Ser Lothar vanished, and they walked side by side into the barrier. And the only one who followed closely was Muradin.
Ashkandi stood still and looked at Pasonia with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Pasonia frowned and shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on. Then, together with Ashkandi, she looked at Khadgar.
However, Khadgar seemed to be a normal person, maintaining the posture of a great magician, and slowly and leisurely swayed into the enchantment he had cast himself, completely ignoring the two companions who were full of doubts.
In fact, at the night banquet hosted by His Majesty Aiden Pirenord in the royal city of Lordaeron, many high lords and nobles saw Oss and Ser Lothar leave together, and they also knew that Oss had something to report to Lord Lothar at that time.
However, absolutely no one could have imagined that in the parlor on the second floor of that night banquet, Oss took the initiative to reveal his identity to Sir Lothar and reveal the truth! No one will believe that Sir Lothar really trusts Oss and agrees with Oss to join forces!
Later, Sir Lothar told Khadgar only one person, not even Ewell and Pasonia, who were in charge of intelligence for the Iron Horse Brotherhood. And the reason why Sir Lothar is like this is not because he doesn't trust his two intelligence advisers, but because this matter is too important, and just like an old saying in China when the earth is in China, if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers!
After entering the barrier, Oss first took Sir Lothar to visit the still sleeping Crelestaz in the form of Queldore, the controlled dragon form of MiΓ±olaletraz, and the ten little red dragons that gave birth. Then he sat down opposite Sir Lothar and introduced Brian, Chromie, and Onexia.
Outside the barrier, Ashkandi and Pasonia arranged the guard and the dark whistle before entering the warping force field together. Sir Lothar introduced Oss to his two right-hand men, members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood.
Immediately afterward, Sir Lothar asked all his doubts, and all the problems that the Alliance had encountered so far. Oss recounted his real experiences on the Northern Front, his verbal agreement with Zurgin, the leader of Zuaman, and the huge involvement behind Grimbaatar.
"You've made the right decision, it's better to push the forest trolls back than to fight to the death." Sir Lothar was on Oss's side on the Northern Front.
Oss did not indicate because that was not the point.
Sure enough, after a simple evaluation, a very bitter smile appeared on Sir Lothar's face, and he said: "It's just that what I didn't expect is that behind Grimbaatar, there is really ...... Really...... Alas! I don't even know what to say......"
Sir Lothar, who sighs and sighs, is really rare!
Pasonia stared at Oss with a burning gaze and mocked, "The plan of the gods? And a god who will take revenge on mortals with impunity? I believe you! β
"Pasonia, don't do this." Sir Lothar did not reprimand Pasonia for her rudeness, after all, she was not in the army at this time, and Pasonia was not a simple subordinate.
Ashkandi also felt a little unbelievable, he really couldn't figure out why Oss's words sounded so absurd, but Sir Lothar didn't even ask, and just believed it?!
Oss said that there is no most absurd, only more absurd. He didn't look at Pasonia's aggressive eyes, and said, "Believe it or not, it's a god who goes crazy and wants to destroy all of Azeroth. β
"You!" Pasonia was choked up! Once upon a time, in Stormwind, who dared to tease the thorny Alwyn Wild Rose!
"I believe it." Sir Lothar raised his left hand to stop Pasonia from speaking again, and asked, "Is there a good way for you to keep the alliance from hindering the god's plans, and at the same time dismantling the Dragonthroat Clan?" β
Oss replied directly: "At this time, there is not much meaning. β
"Huh? How so? β
Oss glanced at the silent Khadgar and explained, "Khadgar and I went to the Arathi Heights before we came to the wetlands and met an earth elemental demigod. Before leaving, the earth elemental demigod kindly reminded me that a demigod lord of the Burning Legion had descended and warped a space in the south, summoning an army of demons. Actually, I had a sense of this when I was in the Ghost Land, but I didn't know what was going on at the time. β
No matter how steady Sir Lothar was, he couldn't help but exclaim at first glance, "The demigod-level lord of the Burning Legion!?" β
Oss did not speak again, neither to say any more morale-boosting nonsense, nor to utter any more unpleasant and discouraged words.
After a pause, Sir Lothar asked, "Os, do you think that with the current strength of the Alliance, you can deal with a ...... Demigods? β
Oss shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know. β
"What if you are added? Didn't you just deal with the demigods of the four forest trolls in the Land of Ghosts? β
"I've counted myself, but I still can't estimate the strength of the two sides. As for the demigod incarnation of the forest trolls, they just stole the power of the animal demigod for their own use, and they were too far from the real demigods. β
Sir Lothar was silent, his brow furrowed, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he proposed, "What about the earth elemental demigods you met earlier?" Can't you ask him for help? I can swear on behalf of the Alliance that whatever the Earth Elemental Demigod asks, the Alliance will do its best to do it for him! β
"It's a pity, Sir, that the Elemental Lords won't meddle in the war between the flesh and the Burning Legion, whether it's ten thousand years ago or now."
"Huh!" Pasonia couldn't help but sneer, thinking that Oss was completely talking about it, and what the hell was it about 10,000 years ago!
Sir Lothar didn't have any doubts, but he couldn't understand it at all: "Isn't the purpose of the Burning Legion to destroy this world?" Can the Elemental Lords stay out of the way? β
Ostron resisted the urge to sigh and said, "Regarding this, I think that maybe the Elemental Lords will take action after the flesh and blood are dead. β
"It's ......," said Sir Lothar, dumbfounded.
After the bad news was said, Oss finally began to say some good news: "We actually have allies, but for various reasons, we can fight against the local gods and forces of the Burning Legion, and now none of them can support. β
Sir Lothar listened quietly.
"First, Ogrim on the other side didn't move, he must have found something, and at the same time, he should have encountered some problem, but this is undoubtedly good news for the league."
"Second, you just mentioned the Black Iron Clan and the plan to attack from three sides, I can only say that the Black Iron Clan will not make any moves. They, along with Gerbin and Little Douding, are the backhands of the Dwarven Kingdom. β
Ser Lothar nodded and smiled bitterly, "I understand, and at this time, the Alliance shouldn't limit its sights to dealing with orcs. β
"That's right, sir. When you return, you must prepare the Terran kingdoms, especially Dalaran! β
Ser Lothar turned to Khadgar, who responded, "I will summon a message to the Kenrito Council, but don't hope for a group of old diehards, who will never go out without seeing the demons with their own eyes." β
"It's man-made, I will also ask the Brotherhood of Snow Mountain to arrange a sea trip to convey the message to the Night Elves, Bear People, Minotaurs, Boar People and other races in the Kalimdor Continent, but ......" Oss paused and looked at Sir Lothar, "Far water can't save the near fire, and now this war can only rely on the alliance itself." β
Sir Lothar nodded again in understanding, feeling an imminent heaviness in his heart: "How is your injury?" β
"The Holy Light has no effect on the energy of the Demon Soul, and can only wait for it to slowly dissipate on its own, so it will take a few days to recover."
Sir Lothar quickly summed up all the information in his head, stood up and said, "Pasonia, map. β
When Pasonia heard this, she shook her left hand and conjured a rolled-up parchment map as if by magic.
Sir Lothar handed the map to Oss and said, "You are not fit to be the commander-in-chief now, otherwise many things will have to be made public, which will not be conducive to the rest of the layout." This military map shows all the Alliance's deployments, and you can use it as a reference. β
With that, Sir Lothar did not drink a sip of water or eat a mouthful of food, and left in a hurry: "I must now return at once, inform the Coalition of the whole matter, and call an emergency meeting." Os, let's split up and let Khadgar stay here to take care of the liaison. β
"Good!"
"Yes, Sir!"
