"This weird blizzard......," Furding said after a moment's thought, "seems to have been created by some sort of defense system in Northrend." ”

"Defense system?" When Joseph heard the paladin's speculation, he had a surprised expression on his face and said, "Could it be the last time I came to the operation?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people present looked at him in unison.

Dante had heard Captain Jack talk about Joseph beforehand, so he was mentally prepared.

"What? So this Mr. Dwarf has already been here? Lexa looked at Joseph and said, "Since you've been here." Let's just say it. Our time is precious. ”

Dante noticed that Muradin did not speak with Joseph, perhaps because he did not want to say it, or because he, as a warrior, was not as specialized in prospecting as Joseph, so he did not know much.

"Ahem......" Joseph coughed, cleared his throat, took out a map from his backpack, spread it on the floor, pointed to it, and said, "Come on, come on, this map was made by us when we went to Northrend." It should work now. ”

Seeing this, Dante hurriedly went up to check, and saw that only this part of the coastline was marked on the map, and then he went up to the northeast, where many roads were marked densely packed, which seemed a little strange.

"What's on this map?" Lexa didn't pay any attention to his own speaking etiquette, and asked Joseph with a big grin, "Excuse me, Mr. Dwarf, can you explain." ”

"Okay!" Joseph first pointed to the shoreline and said. "This coastline to the southeast is where our three armies landed. From here, we need to walk to the frozen mountains to the northeast. ”

As he spoke, he pointed from the coastline towards the frozen mountains to the northeast.

Joseph pointed to the bends in the middle of the course and said, "Never." With the climate and geography of Northrend, it is impossible for us to get there from the ground. Even if there is no snowstorm, even if it is sunny weather, it will not work. ”

"Why?" Lexa seemed to be in a hurry, and when he heard Joseph say that it would not work here or there, he was in a hurry and hammered the floor. He asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Of course!" Joseph nodded and said. "Mr. Orc, please don't be in a hurry, wait for me to finish speaking."

He pointed to the paths and said, "These are specially marked roads." Actually, it's an authentic ......."

As soon as I hear the word "authentic". Dante more or less understood. Indeed, dwarves are good at mining, and instead of being exposed to wind and rain on the ground, it is better to dig a tunnel in the low. It's much more convenient and safer.

"Look at this tunnel!" Joseph pointed to a particularly thick part of the curved road and said, "This tunnel was dug up back then." A passage to the Frozen Mountains. That's how we went there this time. ”

When Fording heard this, he asked Joseph, "Joseph." Did you have any trouble digging tunnels back then? ”

Dante heard Ferdin's questioning and knew that he should not have participated in the Northrend expedition that year. And there's nothing surprising about that. Ferdin, who had been removed from his post before, was not involved in such military operations as normal.

Joseph replied to Fordin: "Back then, we dwarves were at the forefront of the battle......

"Alright, Joseph!" Just as Joseph was about to lyricalize, Muradin, who was sitting on the side, seemed a little irritated by his easily overheated compatriot, and rudely interrupted him, saying, "Just get down to business, don't be a!" Hum! ”

“……”

Dante was amused by the straightforward dwarven warrior and wanted to laugh but held back. However, Muradin, sensing Dante's intention to laugh, stared at him with wide eyes.

"Uh, well......" Joseph belonged to Muradin's subordinates, and of course he had to obey his orders.

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "Back then, we tried many paths and paid a lot of money to finally find the best route. However, this route was dug up with terrible monsters back then! ”

"Monsters?" When Lexa heard the word "monster", he immediately came to his senses, and the eyes of the two orcs who were covered in bearskin hoods sparkled with excitement. Dante noticed that there was something bulging out of his waist in the animal skin robe he was wearing, and it seemed that it should be two weapons, presumably either axes or hammers.

Lexa seemed to have a strong thirst for battle, and asked Joseph, "Mr. Joseph, what kind of monster is it?" ”

"Ah, to be honest, I don't know what a monster is." Joseph seemed frustrated when he said this. Shaking his head and closing his eyes, he seemed to recall some terrible scene.

"It was a very dangerous situation!" At this time, Muradin, who had been silent, finally spoke, "No one could have imagined that suddenly a lot of writhing black tentacles would emerge from the tunnel rocks. The tentacles engulfed the workers and hanged them directly. We can't even save it. ”

"Tentacles?" Lexa was stunned for a moment when she heard Joseph's words, then frowned and thought about it, shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands and said, "I don't know much about monsters with tentacles." Except for the squid and octopus caught in the sea, the rest is not very clear. ”

"Alas......" Joseph sighed, and took Muradin's words, "Actually, we didn't see the monster at that time. It was so dangerous that we were horrified by the tentacles that suddenly burst out of the rocks. The musketeers and warriors fought hard to kill the monster, but the tentacles broke and retracted, and soon came out of other positions. As soon as the tentacles burst out, many workers standing at the front reacted and were immediately hanged. ”

"And then?" Ferdin's questions were careful, and he seemed to be trying to avoid irritating the grumpy Muradin.

"And then? Then we retreated. Hmph......" Muradin snorted angrily and replied to Fordin, "The tentacles directly killed more than thirty workers, and we couldn't even recover their corpses, so we had to retreat immediately." On the way to retreat, more tentacles reached out from all sides to attack us. We couldn't knock out all the tentacles when we returned fire, and we killed more than a dozen people. ”

"What a tragedy!" After listening to what Muradin said, Lexa pretended to be thoughtful and said, "If it's a tribe, we won't give the monster any chance." ”

“……”

With Lexa's words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Dante felt very upset when he heard the arrogant words of the orc in front of him, and felt that this was simply adding fuel to the fire. He looked nervously at Muradin and Joseph, fearing that Muradin was going crazy again.

Now Dante is in the enemy's territory, although it is not him who provokes the dwarven warrior, but it is estimated that this irascible dwarven warrior will fight with him once he starts a fire. Then you will have to fight back.

However, Muradin didn't get mad, but sat with a grim face, and didn't look directly at Lexa. Joseph and Fordin were naturally upset when they heard the orc's provocative words, but when they saw that Muradin was not angry, they also gave up.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lexa coughed his throat and said, "Mr. Joseph, is that all?" ”

Joseph hurriedly replied, "Yes." We withdrew right then. ”

Lexa thought for a moment and said, "Why didn't the chief tell me about the tribe's expedition to Northrend?" Really. ”

Then, he turned to Dante and asked, "Did you participate in this event, Lord Dante?" ”

Dante waved his hand and said, "No, back then, I was still a nobody. ”

"Oh? What a disrespect! Seeing Dante say this, Lexa smiled and said, "The last time the tribe went on an expedition to Northrend, the time is not too long, but Lord Dante has actually developed from a nobody to such a big force. I really have a lot of admiration for Lord Dante. ”

"Thank you." Dante replied directly to the orcs, he couldn't stand the infinite killing of the orcs.

Wait a minute...... Something seems to be wrong......

After listening to Lexa's words, Dante felt a little strange. The orcs claim to have no idea about the Tribe's expedition to Northrend, but why do they say things like "The last time the tribe went on expedition to Northrend, it wasn't that long since now"?

From the time he entered the wooden house until now, no one seems to have said anything about the time of the military operation. So......

Lexa should be lying! He must have known what had happened! It is impossible for the tribal chieftain Thrall to hide such an important matter from this army commander, this is too illogical!

Hmph, was it discovered?

When Dante thought of this, he also understood that the goal of this Alliance and Horde expedition was definitely not pure, and it was likely that Arthas was not entirely fighting against the Alliance and the Horde now.

What secrets are hidden beneath this Northrend Arctic continent?

Moreover, by analyzing Lexa's words, Dante also sensed that something was deliberately hidden from Joseph and Muradin's words. They say they retreat when attacked by tentacles, but Captain Jack says that the dwarves have dug up mysterious mechs in the Frozen Mountains.

Of course, Dante believed Captain Jack, and it was impossible for him to lie to his master.

It's good, they're all playing dumb, it's so much fun!

Thinking of this, Dante sneered inwardly and looked at the few people sitting in front of him. He didn't even believe it now, and felt as if he was deliberately playing dumb. Such a powerful paladin may not have participated in the expedition back then.

If so, could it be that these alliances and the orcs of this tribe colluded in advance? It's also unlikely, looking at this orc's appearance as an uncle, it shouldn't have been colluded in advance.

Let's do it when the opportunity arises.

"Joseph, then." "Is this the only way we can go to the Frozen Mountains?" (To be continued.) )
