The most conspicuous landmark in the desolate Lands of the Damned is the Gate of Darkness, a towering and massive structure that is the origin of the name of the Lands of the Damned.

Once, this was a wetland swamp with abundant water and grass, but when the dark gate was opened, as a large number of orcs poured into this area, the dark power continued to pour into this world from Draenor, causing the swamp here to gradually become depleted and barren, and then it became the current cursed land, and only a small piece of the former swamp remained, and because of that history, this swamp is also known as the Swamp of Sorrow.

Lost vegetation and water sources, this once thriving area has become uninhabited, and even the plants have become surprisingly scarce, only some drought-tolerant wattle plants, and difficult survivors, some hell boars, purgatory scorpions roam this wasteland, these strange-looking creatures are the alien species brought by the orcs from the world of Draenor, and many hunters will come here to catch them as pets.

But beyond that, the Cursed Lands was almost uninhabited, and there was an unusually calm atmosphere, which was broken today.

A large group of water elementals and fish-people walked through the long wasteland to the gates of the Dark Gate.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Let the army be stationed around the Dark Gate, we need to stay here for a while to gather the rest of the forces, so we won't be leaving anytime soon, send out sentinels to scout the surrounding valleys to see if anyone lives nearby, and make sure the army is safe." ”

Xiao Yu instructed his subordinate Sairen that this army is the capital of his life, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Sairen (Siren High Priest): "Master, our people seem to be a little too tired, and they can't get used to this arid land. ”

Xiao Yu looked behind him, indeed, because the body of the water element is completely composed of water, it is usually the place where the water source is abundant, and the water can be absorbed at any time to strengthen the body, and in this dry area, the water on the water element is constantly evaporating, and in the long run, the body size will become smaller and smaller, and those mermaids are also facing similar problems, although they can survive and march on land, but they are obviously affected by the surrounding dry climate, and they seem to be a little sluggish.

Even Sgrari, the demigod of the hydra, dragged his huge body, looked dejected, and his skin was dry from the sun.

This army has no food, but no water, and when I looked at the sky, the sun was shining, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all.

But fortunately, this is a magical world, and there is nothing that spells can't do.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Get those dark shamans into action and summon me a storm, and from now on they will be under your command." “

Sayren (High Priest of the Siren): "Yes, my lord—you have all heard it, and you have acted for me. “

Driven by the Kraken, the hundred dark shamans immediately began to unite to cast their mastery of elemental control spells, and as they continued to pray and summon, a huge cumulonimbus cloud formed in the sky, rolling thunder rang out, and as the rain crackled down from the sky, the merfolk let out cheerful cries.

Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction, now, let's start the shadows.

Although the game engine was upgraded, some of the convenience aspects were not changed, and the camp did not need to be built by hand, and after a considerable amount of materials and the efforts of the Fish-Man craftsmen, a temporary camp was soon built, which was built entirely around the Dark Gate.

In the distance, on the top of a mountain, a slender figure wrapped in a robe stood proudly, the peak of which was so steep that one wondered how this man had climbed up.

The man looked thoughtfully at the dark clouds in the sky, his appearance looked like he was at most thirty-four years old, but the weathered face and the eyes full of wisdom made people subconsciously feel that he must be older than he looked, and that kind of gaze could only be possessed by wise men and philosophers who had seen through everything.

His gaze soon fell back to the top of the dark clouds, and a huge dragon covered in pitch black was hovering above the dark clouds, as if searching for something.

A faint smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and the figure suddenly jumped towards the bottom of the cliff, and in the next second, it turned into a crow and flew away.

――――――

Xiao Yu judged in the air, but did not find any signs of human activity around, he did not expand the scope of the search, and the investigation of this kind of thing was naturally done by his subordinates.

Slowly falling from the sky, Agnes had already returned.

Agnes (Ice Lurker): "My lord, we found a Night Elf camp nearby, where there are about two or three thousand Night Elf soldiers. ”

What, Night Elves? Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said what the situation was, if there were human or orc troops in the Cursed Land, he would be understandable, after all, this was once the territory of humans, and it was also the place where the orcs entered Azeroth back then, and there were two strongholds in the Cursed Land, and it was acceptable to send some troops to patrol nearby or something, but the Night Elves? Aren't they all on the continent of Kalimdor? The Night Elves on the continent of Azeroth are all concentrated near Stormwind City, how did they come to this cursed place where birds don't?

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "You lead the way, I'll take a look." After thinking about it, he said: "Call Esmerhalda too, anyway, she is the hero of the alliance, if there is really a need, you can let her be in charge of negotiations." “

After speaking, he directly turned into a Chaos Dragon and flew up, like a dark cloud, flying in the direction of the Night Elves reported by Agnes, and soon, he found the camp, and slowly fell down on a mountain, standing on this mountain, Xiao Yu could clearly see that in that valley, there was a Night Elf camp, and the periphery of this camp was composed of a circle of trees, which obviously did not grow naturally, The vibrant green color contrasts with the yellow-brown earth that surrounds it.

Those trees are the creation of the druid's natural magic, these trees are not for the shade - although they do have this function, they are both walls and defense towers, and if necessary, these giant trees can be transformed into giant tree people to fight, and can also throw rocks for long-range attacks, using this ancient war tree for the defense of the camp, which is very obvious Night Elf style.

The flag in this night elf camp made Xiao Yu feel a little unfamiliar, it was a black shadow-like woman's pattern, with only two eyes, revealing a different color, not at all the elegant style of the night elves close to nature, but it looked sharp and full of aggression.

Xiao Yu still has a little research on the banners of various forces.

The Night Elves' main combat force, a legion of sentinels led by the priestess Tyrande, is mainly composed of huntresses and archers, and the banner is a motif of a moon and a bow and arrow.

One was a male-dominated army of druids led by Grand Druid Malfurion Fury, whose banner was a pattern of eagle feathers and bear claws, as well as various units of a local nature, which he had never seen before.

"These are the Watchmen troops." A voice sounded in my ears, and when I turned around, it was Esmerhalda who had teleported.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "How do you know?" “

Esmerhalda (Archmage Kenrito): "Of course I saw it from the book, I was idle in the library when I was in Dalaran, and reading books in this game is for experience. “

Watchmen? Xiao Yu vaguely remembered that he had heard this name, and suddenly he remembered that the heroic title of the Moonmark Shadow Chaser was the Watcher. (To be continued.) )
