Chapter 80: The World of Wolf Riding
Perhaps the syndicate thieves did not have time to escape the trap on the new path, and the retreating party made it to a valley without incident.
Originally, everyone was a little worried that it would be easy to be attacked in this valley, but after discovering that the scale of this valley was very large, and even the mouth of the valley was hundreds of meters wide, they had no worries.
"It's really strange, this valley is obviously very large, it should be very easy to find, why do you say that this place is very hidden?" Bridget looked around in some surprise as the party entered the valley.
"Maybe it's because few people come here, it's so cold on this snowy mountain......" Sally Whitemayne grumbled as she shook the snowflakes off the priest's robes.
"As soon as you cross this valley, you will probably be below the snow line, and it will be warm by then." Song Zheng comforted that he was also tired of this day full of ice and snow.
With the absence of the traps set by the syndicate thieves, the speed of the group's progress has increased significantly, and the people who have been depressed have begun to talk and laugh, and even discuss returning to Dalaran to rest and then come to the syndicate thieves to take revenge.
Just as they had already passed through the middle of the valley, a low trumpet suddenly sounded in the snowy valley, as if they were from an ancient world.
Everyone was in amazement, but the faces of the two old mages who accompanied them changed drastically.
"Oh no, it's the horn of the orcs attacking!"
"Orcs?!" Everyone was startled and stopped.
In the Alterac Mountains, there are not only ogres, but also orcs!
Compared with ogres, orcs bring much deeper memories to humans, the first two orc wars, from the south to the north, almost caused the extinction of human beings, even if you have not experienced the battle of the year, you have also heard of the cruelty and hardship of the original battle.
Gianna's face also changed instantly, and she immediately turned around and asked, "Who are the followers of the person who proposed to go to this valley before?" ”
There was silence all around, no one answered, and it took a while for someone to say, "That man...... Isn't it Your Royal Highness the Princess, your follower? We thought it was someone you had found......"
"Damn! That guy must be from the Syndicate, and he deliberately misled us into this valley of orcs! ”
"Don't worry, the current orcs don't have any attack power, we have even defeated the ogre, are you still afraid of some orc captives who escaped from the concentration camp, everyone quickly form a formation to defend, maybe after catching those orcs, you can go to Dunholke to receive the reward." Some people were encouraged to think that the only people hiding in this valley should be the orcs who had escaped from the concentration camps that had recently become popular.
The people who had experienced the great war began to calm down, and they all drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
Song Zheng's heart was extremely worried, there were indeed orcs who escaped from the concentration camp in this Alterac Mountains, but there was also another orc army, that was the powerful frost wolf tribe!
Although the frostwolf tribe was unwilling to break away from the orc tribe with Guldan's conquest with humans, it does not mean that they are cowardly and timid, in fact, the frostwolf tribe is more powerful than many orc tribes, especially their huge frost wolf that has been accompanied by orcs since childhood!
"I wonder if Thrall is here?" Seeing that the people around him had already put on a fighting posture, Song Zheng couldn't help frowning.
If Thrall had found the Frostwolf tribe and become its leader, he might be able to talk to him, but if Thrall wasn't there, he would have had to fight a big battle.
The desolate sound of the horn continued, and some black and white figures in the distance had already appeared in Song Zheng's field of vision.
This was the first time Song Zheng had seen the wolf cavalry of the orcs.
In fact, for most of the people here, it was the first time to see it, and they were all extremely shocked.
Those snow-white frost wolves are very tall, even taller than human war horses, and when they run, they will show huge fangs, which looks extremely hideous, and more importantly, human war horses can't run in the snow at all, but these tall frost wolves are completely unaffected by the snow.
Although the orcs on the back of the frost wolf are all dressed in simple animal skins, their momentum is very amazing, especially when they shout in unison, they are like indomitable gods of war.
"Oh my God...... This is a complete orc cavalry......" The old mage muttered a little distracted as he looked at the orc wolf rider who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and even forgot to hurry up and cast a spell.
"Hurry up, these orc wolf riders are more powerful than ogres, those regular cavalry in the human kingdom were not their opponents at all, and if they want to block their charge, only the paladins can do it." Some of the people in the team had experienced the war with the orcs more than ten years ago, and the scene in front of them immediately awakened the cruel memories of the past.
"There really is an orc tribe hidden in this Alterac Mountains......" Even Luo Ning, who had always been the calmest, also showed a look of panic.
The orc army is indeed very powerful, once with these wolf horses rushed all the way from the dark gate to Stormwind, and then swept the eastern continent, all the way to the territory of Lordaeron, if it was not for Gul'dan to take nearly half of the troops to explore the tomb of Sargeras, then the final outcome may be that the orcs rule the eastern kingdom.
With the current force, which has nearly half of the wounded, it is absolutely impossible to resist the charge of those orcs and wolf riders!
"It's really the Frostwolf Tribe...... Why have you been so unlucky lately. Song Zheng's face also changed.
However, he could only sigh when he thought that the trip must have been secretly influenced by syndicate thieves...... After all, he was the one who caused it all to happen.
If he hadn't accidentally stolen the cursed church mage, there would have been no pursuit of him by the syndicate thieves in the future, and Gianna would not have been attacked, and naturally he would not have caused all this in front of him.
"Could it be that all this is really the so-called butterfly effect, and I am the little butterfly......
"Song Zheng, what are you still sitting in a daze, get out of here!" Bridget next to her saw Song Zheng standing there in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him.
Song Zheng, who came back to his senses, found that the people around him had already given up the original defensive front, and they had retreated one after another, and at this moment they were desperately climbing towards the steep cliffs on both sides of the valley, trying to avoid the wolf cavalry charge of the orcs.
However, the ice-covered rock wall was so smooth that it was very difficult to climb, so some of the faster people had changed direction and ran quickly towards the valley mouth.
