Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of the Canyon of Lethero

So we walked almost silently all the way back to the camp, and soon we were ready to head northeast, and on the way I had been worrying about our relationship with the master. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's happened to this point, and sometimes it's really hard for me to imagine. I know he's put almost all of his heart and soul into me, but for me I don't want to be a rigid paladin like him. Although I may be right now, I am already a little lost in my heart, and this loss is easily discovered by my elves.

"Arthas, are you thinking about you and Uther?"

"That's how my master and I are. The more critical the issue, the more inconsistent the opinions!" I said as I released my knot, not hiding my true thoughts in front of my beloved, but when I said this, I immediately attracted the attention of others, and when I saw that I was out of shape, I immediately regained my composure and whispered. "Let's not talk about this now, okay?" I motioned to the crowd and asked her to change the subject.

"Alright then, Arthas. Can you tell us more details about the demons? And the Burning Legion, I heard a few legends about them as a kid, and I think you know something. Sylvanas asked, and everyone and the dwarves in the neighborhood came over to listen to my explanation, yes, some of their information might be useful for their archaeology.

"All the records are warnings left to us by your elves, and there are many details that I don't know. As I spoke, I shook my head and thought about how much I was going to say, and after thinking about it for a while, I calmly recounted. "But the madness of the black dragon, the extinction of the blue dragon, the disconnection of the continent, the appearance of the demon soul, and other events all happened during the period when the demons invaded and they were defeated. I don't know if they will survive if they come back to our world, or if some of them will change a little...", I replied calmly. In fact, I have done a lot of things to hide, and it is not good to talk too much now, so it is better to stop this topic now. "I think Crassus, he'll tell us more stories. ”

"So, we have to avoid that from happening, right. Luo Ning then asked me, yes, only he knew that I might know more details, but he didn't ask anything, but told me his wishes,

"That's what I intended. I calmly replied to his questions to me, and a sigh ensued, and I was shaken by the thought of something I didn't dare to recognize, like the apparition at the Tower of Medivan. "But I'm afraid we can't stop it. ”

"At least we can witness it together. Sylvanas didn't quite understand this, but she still hoped for a bottom line, an ending like his sister and Tulayan, and the death of her beloved. And I couldn't help but smile at her thoughts, yes, if Sylvanas could really be with me, it would be a little comfort even if he became like that.

"Of course we'll witness it together, but before we can do that, we'll have to exterminate the black dragons. ”

Instead of thinking about this serious issue, I turned to thinking and discussing the next tactics.

Throughout the war with the Dragons, except for the Griffin Dwarves of the Brute Hammer Tribe and the deceased Expeditionary Force, none of the Alliance's troops had the experience of fighting dragons on a large scale, and I also felt everyone's fear of the Dragons in my own team, yes, I was not afraid of them. I think it's necessary to restore Crassus to his original form, after all, dragon-to-dragon, at least won't our soldiers be afraid.

We walked like this, and after four days, we finally reached our destination, which should have been quicker, but it was a little delayed to help the dwarves and human inhabitants along the way eliminate the threat of nearby ogres. When we arrived at our destination to meet them, Crassus was even a little impatient, I think we were delaying some honeymoon period with him and the queen, after all, it is spring, and I believe that this is also the time for dragons to hatch their offspring.

I thought so, but before I could go any further, I was awakened by their questioning.

"Your Highness, why did you only send dwarves and rangers and mages, your large army!"

Rhea in the form of a goblin asked, and the dwarven general, seeing that he was somewhat demeaning to disparage his own race, immediately waved his fist at her angrily.

"Attacking dragons only requires range, what are you sending short-range for, waving flags and cheering?" I asked the dwarven general after my companions and I stopped her, and Crassus explained to me regretfully.

"Don't you know that the Black Dragons bring their own rock guards?"

"I really don't know. I shook my head regretfully, but even so, I still had a way to make up for this disadvantage without a meat shield, that is, my own personal guard, but I really didn't want them to sacrifice too much, so I thought of another plan that I had prepared. "That's why you need to get back to your original shape. ”

Crassus and Rhea glanced at each other and changed without too much hesitation. Soon two dragons appeared in front of us. Yes, even the smaller Rhea was much larger than the orc dragon knights' largest mounts in the past, and Crassus's size surprised the dwarves and elves.

So I started teasing the dwarves again, General, if you really want to single out that 'goblin', we will not stop you, I pointed to Rhea, and the dwarven general looked apologetic.

"No... I didn't mean that, sorry. ”

"Well, I'm not going to talk much, I'll just tell you as you see. They are the Red Dragon, our friends. They used to help the tribe against us because they were forced by the control of demonic magic weapons, but now they are free because of the help of Ronin and Wenlesa, so they will now help us unite and eliminate the threat of the black dragon, so you don't have to worry about them. ”

After everyone hesitated, everyone quickly got used to their existence, yes, the dwarves had sporadic interactions with the red dragons a long time ago, and the rangers also knew the kindness of the red dragons to Winlessa, and as for the guards who came with them, because they had experienced the war together, they expressed friendship with the appearance of the two of them. There is no such thing as everyone I am worried about and afraid of them.

"Arthas, what are your plans. ”

"I know that the Black Dragons are mortal enemies with you, so you go around this mountain alone to attract enough Black Dragons and lead them into the mouth of the ravine in front of us, and then we will annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Lord Claostraz means a lot to us Red Dragons! "Out of concern for Crassus, Rhea objected, but I did not accept it. And for good reason.

"No, as far as I know, no black dragon can easily defeat him except for Deathwing, and he has many experiences of escaping in the Black Dragon King, as well as the experience of dueling with the Black Dragon and..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Arthas, you don't have to talk nonsense, I'll just go. Crassus couldn't help but show a serious expression, "Do you want another plan?"

"Rhea, you go back to the goblin state, and Theron and Theron's squad of rangers sneak in and take the enough dragon eggs you want, and then turn into dragon form and send everyone back, that's the plan.

"Good idea Alsace. ”

In fact, many people will think that this giant red dragon is a little angry because he was 'betrayed' by me and pulled out as cannon fodder, but I understand that he doesn't want me to reveal more stories about him, so let me shut up. Moreover, Luo Ning did not hesitate to show support for my plan, which also made people feel that he did not seem to care about the danger of his master. Yes, it's not a walk to wander around the black dragon group, but this is just the idea of everyone, and the person concerned, Crassus, doesn't care about it at all, so everyone doesn't say anything more, and continues to discuss some questions.

"However, we can't guarantee that we will be able to catch them all, the dragon flies fast and has a thick skin.

"Don't worry about this, their armor is high and can be slowly sharpened. They won't run away anyway, because their eggs are nearby. And there is no place for the black dragon in other places. I explained. And after Brian's words, everyone was in place

"Then do it, let the black dragons taste the power of my spear. ”

Everything went as I imagined, and Crassus flew towards it, pouring fire into the mountains, and the black dragons rightfully rushed towards the troublemaker, who was already a mortal enemy. However, it was difficult for a young dragon of their level to pose a substantial threat to a giant red dragon like Crassus. After all, they were just the remnants of the griffon dwarves who had been left behind in Draenor to help the tribe and were defeated by the expeditionary force, and some nameless wandering black dragons gathered together for safety while Deathwing was hidden.

Crassus chose to flee only after attracting enough black dragons. And those angry creatures were clearly not going to let him go. There were no big dragons in them, and even the largest leader-like black dragon was much smaller than Rhea, so before they gathered together to drive Crassus, quite a few black dragons had already died under Crassus's claws, and I was even able to deal with this group of guys by Crassus alone at the beginning.

But a plan is a plan, and we don't need to leave Crassus alone with so many enemies, and he thinks the same, so he leads the black dragons into the ambush circle we have set. And this is the beginning of the official slaughter. Although the black dragon's scale armor is also thick, there are always his weak points, such as his eyes, which can still be done by shooting blind for elite-level rangers.

But it was still a bit difficult for the rest of us to do this, and perhaps Crassus realized something, Crassus turned the surroundings into a hot zone, and their skin was much softer, which also helped our arrows and spears to penetrate their dragon scales. On the other hand, the tiny magma they spit out was also easily dissolved under the protection of the mages led by Luo Ning, and even at this time, there was no matter of our personal defense. I thought that the rock puppets that the red dragon said might be out of touch with the black dragon, and I haven't seen them yet.

In this way, with everyone's concerted efforts, their numbers soon decreased sharply. Recognizing that something was wrong, the Black Dragons, perhaps aware of their fate, abandoned us and instead zeroed on to crash into Crassus as desperately as a suicide attack. Yes, although the black dragon is generally relatively young, it is also uncomfortable for this tonnage flying unit to hit the body.

Crassus quickly understood this, so he also made preparations to escape, in fact, with his speed, it was difficult for the enemy to overtake him, but several young dragons around him were holding Crassus to his speed, which made it impossible for him to speed up and escape. At this moment, Ronin realized something, and after signaling to Wen Leisa, he teleported to Crassus's back, and then nodded with Crassus and began to cast spells, while Wen Leisa, who came with him, kept shooting arrows at the young dragons that approached them.

I don't know what kind of magic they're using, but I do know I have to cover them before I can do that.

"Shoot fast, those black dragons who are trying to fly towards the red dragon must shoot down!" I was anxious,

Although I say this, in fact almost every dragon has chosen the direction of Crassus, so every black dragon is my target, so that sentence just now is completely equivalent to nonsense. And in the end, after the dense black blocked the red vision, we only heard a howl of pain from Crassus, and then all kinds of rotten flesh fell after the pitch black pieces collided together....

None of the black dragons chose to escape. Yes, they already had the courage to die at the beginning, and perhaps they knew what kind of loss this red dragon's death would be for the red dragon.

Everyone was stunned by the sight. And I couldn't sit on the ground for some reason, and yes, I knew what the death of the three of them would mean for the world. It's not just a matter of conscience. But the tears of remorse could not change me much, until a tired voice whispered beside me, and I regained my numbness.

"We're not dead yet. "I don't know when, Ronin sat on the ground not far behind me, and what made me even more relieved was that all three of them were here. "It's really too difficult to teleport with a red dragon. ”

"But you did. Winlesa boasted about her boyfriend as she regained her strength with the light, but Crassus uncovered Ronin's lies without interest.

"You only teleported here after I took on human form, it's nothing, let's treat my wounds first. ”

Crassus said, and fell to the ground, yes, he is not a serious person, if he really does, it can only mean one result, that is, he is indeed seriously injured, and a few of us paladins hurried over to help him heal.

It was at this time that we realized that his hands and feet were covered in abrasions, bruises, and magma burns, and he was already seriously injured from a human point of view, but fortunately, a few of us were able to handle it, and now he just needs to rest, and I believe that he will be able to recover in a few days.

I breathe a sigh of relief, and with Rhea's return, we seem to have completed the mission.

And at this time, Crassus suddenly woke up, and stood up and faced south, Rhea, who had also just turned back into a goblin, suddenly lost a dragon egg when sorting out the dragon egg, but fortunately, the quick-eyed Theron caught it. But instead of thanking the elves, Rhea is wary of this.

"Arthas, take the dragon egg and go!" Rhea didn't take Theron's egg, but instead returned the remaining egg to the elf, and looked very nervous. Crassus shook his head regretfully.

"It's too late. ”

"Is it Deathwing?" I instinctively asked what I was most worried about, and I thought that this was the only black dragon that could make Crassus act so desperate and not resist... I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit for my fate. But reason told me that it was not right, that even if Crassus saw the king of the black dragons, he would definitely make a final desperate resistance like the young dragons did when they saw Crassus, or make a gesture to call her spouse, why did he do nothing but show obedience and helplessness.

I thought, and Crassus shook his head to dismiss my suspicion, and with the keen eye of the elves, I noticed a figure approaching us from the south.

"Hopefully she's not too angry. As he spoke, Crassus and Rhea returned to their dragon form, and at this moment, under the guidance of the ranger's gaze, I saw that the huge figure was indeed a dragon half a height higher than Crassus, but fortunately her color was not the pitch black I feared, but the same red as Crassus.

In this regard, I think there is only one dragon that meets this criterion, and that is Alexta, the queen of the red dragon.
