Act 20: The Moss Troll
"Damn, is the entire Western Lordaeron transforming into the Western Plaguelands?"
Locke washed the wound, he quickly took off his armor, jumped into the water to take a cool shower, for the first time in a long time, Locke encountered such a big crisis, almost was besieged by the undead and died, the plague on his body was still easy to dispel, but the gargoyle in Locke's back caused a cutting injury, still made Locke feel a headache.
The water in the lake is unusually cold, this is not the later Lake Dallommere, it is full of zombie fish, and the plague of the undead has not yet expanded to this place for the time being, but is slowly developing in the lush forests of the Western Plague Lands.
Locke turned into a human state, his face was a little pale, probably because the recent battle had caused him to lose too much blood in his body, he took Lordaeron jerky out of his pocket and chewed it, while putting on the armor that was lying on the ground. The elemental crystals in his pocket were also consumed, probably because the inadvertent battle not long ago caused these energy crystals to consume the power inside in advance.
All in all, it was safe in a short period of time.
Locke had two giant swords in his hands, but in the following battle, these two swords were obviously not very useful.
He did not recklessly go to Kel'thugad's troubles, but proceeded on the road to the east, first of all he had to rest for the night, on the one hand, to recover his energy, and on the other hand, to heal his injuries. And in the East, he has another goal.
That is to build a force that is strong enough to compete with the early Scourge Legion.
Locke wanted to merge the two holy swords into one.
So Locke had to find the ancient tribes of trolls and find a way to forge the legendary troll sword from their stone tablets.
The artifacts of the trolls are always mysterious, probably related to their witch culture, but more of a fear that a foreigner will take away their artifact.
Locke rode the Nightmare War Horse and walked briskly towards the east of Lordaeron, for Arthas and Gianna, Locke is not very worried now, after all, no matter how bad Gianna's strength is now, she is also an elite peak mage, at least there is no problem in positioning Lordaeron.
So the burden of defeating Kel'thugad fell on Locke.
In Locke's memory, Kel'thugad had died at Arthas's hands at this time, but the foundation of the Cult of the Damned had not yet been destroyed by Arthas, but Locke wanted to destroy the main altar of the Cult of the Damned.
Psychic Academy.
The academy built beneath Keldaron Castle is the source of Lordaeron's chaos, where hundreds of apprentices of necromancers learn to be necromancers and fight in the Scourge Legion's battle sequences, which are generally easy to defend and difficult to attack, until the Lich King falls asleep and the Psychic Academy is overrun by adventurers from Stormwind.
But that's not the case now.
If Locke wants to capture the Psychic Academy, he must get the help of an army.
Locke walked along the lake, and if his memory was correct, crossed the Sodoril River to the east of Lordaeron, and headed south on the mountains of the Rotten Moss, which were supposed to be inhabited by a mossy troll. Because the forest trolls live in the territory of Lordaeron, they have already become the frightened birds in the mountains and forests after thousands of years of suppression by the Lordaeron Kingdom.
But the only reinforcements that Locke can find can only be trolls, and the army of Lordaeron in the east will definitely not obey Locke's command, but forest trolls are different, on the one hand, Locke already has the holy sword of forest trolls, and on the other hand, the rotten moss trolls are in crisis.
Yes, in the face of the outbreak of the plague, these rotten moss trolls reclaimed some territory in the early days, and soon discovered that all the beasts of the once lush forest were also infected, and as long as they wanted to hunt the beasts of the forest for food, then they would inevitably be infected and then become undead.
Because most of the beasts of the plague have been infected, humans or trolls will become undead as long as they eat these beasts.
Locke didn't stop along the way, and after entering Lordaeron in the east, he headed towards the mountains to the south.
Sure enough, I soon saw the forest troll building hidden in the depths of the forest.
Hidden in the forests, the moss trolls relied on their location for defense, and their natural bunkers kept them alive for thousands of years in the southern mountains of Lordaeron in the east.
Before heading to the tribe of the Rotten Moss Trolls, Locke met the patrols of the Rotten Moss Trolls, a patrol composed of a small number of Troll Berserkers and Troll Headhunters, all of whom were stout warriors with intricate patterns painted on their bodies, wearing rough leather armor, equipped with throwing short spears, spears, giant swords and other weapons, forest trolls were fond of heavy weapons, and their strong physique made them fond of weapons with great lethality.
The captain of the rotten moss trolls stopped Locke and said in a stiff tone, "Get out, human, or you'll be food for the trolls." ”
The rotten moss trolls have long been frightened by Lordaeron, and every time they harass the border, tens of thousands of Lordaeron legions press over, only to let the tribe fall into its nest and run into the mountains, and it will take a long time to return to the tribe.
This has also led to the idea that the rotten moss trolls have not wanted to fight humans for a long time, at least until the kingdom of Lordaeron has not collapsed.
Locke shrugged his shoulders, then raised the Destroyer of Worlds in his hand and said, "(Troll): The gods have entrusted me with the command of all the trolls, and you may have heard my name in rumors. ”
"Shadra, let them feel your power."
The divine power of the demigods instantly enveloped the entire Rotten Moss tribe.
Everything is easy to do next.
After entering the rotten moss trolls, although there are still a lot of rotten moss trolls around him pointing at Locke, there is no hatred for humans in their eyes, but curiosity.
Locke walked towards the Troll Temple not far away, but the Rotten Moss Tribe had no priests left, and there was nothing standing in the hall except for a stone-carved raven. Locke shook his head slightly, in fact, even today, most of the tribes of forest trolls have lost their heritage.
It was impossible to recreate the story of the forest trolls who relied on the power of the beast spirits to fight against the elves and humans long ago, and these gods did not bother to continue to contact the trolls after losing their sacrifices.
However, Locke did not come to get the power of the troll gods, he only wanted to use all the power of the forest trolls for his own use.
Things went very well. (To be continued.) )
