Chapter 5 On the Dangers and Prevention of the Cenarion Expedition

The next battle, in the words of the audience's masters, is probably "garbage time".

According to the female magician, who did not want to be named, she later told the patrol knight of Fort Glory that she could only watch the battle because of a temporary knee injury, and watched the stunned little white paladin step on the body of the magic mecha all the way up, like a cornice walking on the wall to the chest of this huge mecha, and then simply knocked off the mechanical eye on the top of the head of the magic mecha with a few neat blows, smashing the huge hot magic energy core in the chest......

When the huge magic mecha lost power and collapsed, and the paladin with twelve wings on his back slowly fell from the sky, looking at the figure of the "little white" knight who looked more and more tall against the background of the dust and the explosion of magic fire......

What do you mean by that? Painting beauty without looking at anything...... Friends or something...... Hehe, drunk, what do you know......

Of course, this statement was ultimately dismissed by the Patrol Cavalry of Fort Glory and the subsequent officer as an overstimulated onslaught of nymphotropia by the adventurer - at least for this stage, no one thought that a single-handedly paladin would have the strength to take out a magical mech on his own, especially according to the female magician...... That stunned little white paladin is actually only level 69?!

"I think...... The veracity of this information is debatable. ”

In Fort Glory, Dallas, the legendary hero who took over as commander of the Outland Expeditionary Force after Tulayan's disappearance? Tolbane, after receiving the scout's report, sensibly showed due caution and suspicion.

Up to now. Whether it's the Alliance or the Horde, the best way to deal with these massive, destructive magical mechs is to stay away. After all, the cost of destroying a mech is far beyond the reach of both sides.

As a steady stream of new blood into the Outlands. Although these newcomers who claim to be adventurers have shown themselves to be trustworthy, and have had several previous adventurers kill magical mechs, briefly bringing peace to the supply lines of the Hellfire Peninsula, they are ......

"Uncle Tolbairn!"

Just in Dallas? During the pause in Tolbane's contemplation, accompanied by a cheerful call, a slender figure had already rushed into the conference room.

"I heard that someone single-handedly killed a magic mech?! It's so Cooooooool! ”

It seemed that she had a unique identity and status in Fort Glory, and none of the guards stopped the girl, which made it easy for her to break into the most well-guarded command conference room in Fort Glory, and then put her arms around Torbain's neck.

"Alright, alright...... My sweet little Atora. Now is not the time to talk about this, we are discussing the situation on the Hellfire Peninsula for the next six months......"

Dallas? Thorbain dotingly patted the beautiful girl, who was already at his height and was full of youthful vigor and radiance, and tugged at the hem of her swaying dress for her.

"I remember, you were reluctant to wear this judgment suit that your father gave you even at your birthday party, why did you even think to wear it for Uncle Tolbain today?"

"Of course...... It's a suit my dad gave me, and he'd definitely like to see me wear it to destroy the damn orcs and demons than dance at the birthday ball......"

The girl was embarrassed to show a neat row of teeth to Torbain, and then wrinkled her nose playfully.

"So, uncle. Tell me about the heroic paladin who took out a magical mech alone......"

"That's well-informed, little Atola."

Thorbain glanced helplessly at the lieutenant beside him, the same time as the senior scout Cadwick who had previously reported to him. The former chief stalker of the city administration office was crying and gesturing at him with a "torture" gesture.

"Well, Atola, though Uncle would like to do that too. But...... As far as I know, the paladin left after that, if it was really his victory over the magic mech. ”

"Oh?"

Atora's blue eyes widened with some suspicion. At the same time, between her sideburns. A pair of slightly pointed ears that are not quite similar to ordinary humans are also shaking slightly, as if they are distinguishing the truth of this information.

"What a disappointment......

She muttered something in a low voice, and her originally happy expression suddenly became lost.

"Listen to me, Atola...... I know you care a lot about who that 'paladin' is......"

See her on this look, Dallas? Tolbairn's gaze softened and became regretful.

He gently reached out and patted her weak and immature shoulder, comforting her soft heart.

"Redeemer" Atora, which he personally gave her the title of the maiden on the day she became a paladin.

The meaning of the title "redeemer" is not only to hope that these people who are exiled in foreign lands will one day be redeemed, but also to hope that this young girl, who has lost her parents since childhood, will one day save herself from her inner loneliness and loneliness by her own strength.

"Your father was a hero, and like you, I believe that he is only fighting in a corner of this world, just ......"

Quietly listening to Dallas? With Torbain's words, Atora finally lifted her delicate jaw and looked at the elder who was also a teacher and a father.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He...... Isn't it really Daddy? ”

"No, according to the information we have got, he's younger than your father, his age...... Maybe only slightly older than you, and he's using a flaming hammer......"

Speaking of which, Tol Bain seems to have something interesting in mind.

"That's right...... I heard that he was wearing a set of standard judgment armor......"

Hear here. Atora was still slightly disappointed, but immediately. The young girl became even more interested in the man she had never met.

"You can defeat a magical mecha on your own...... No, I don't believe anyone is better than me at the Way of the Paladin! ”

"Yes, yes...... Who doesn't know that our adorable little Atora is a genius who has successfully promoted to the rank of full paladin at the age of 15. With the exception of Usha, the Lightbringer, even your father is probably a little inferior to you in terms of talent for this path......"

Dallas? Thorbain waved his hand and motioned for the lieutenant to leave, while looking thoughtfully through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the sky outside Fort Glory obscured by the smoke of sulfur.

"But...... If the information is correct, he really destroyed a magic mecha by himself...... Perhaps, he was the one who had told me about Windsor and Gianna before that...... That person. ”

***************************************

At the same time. Hellfire Peninsula, outside the Falcon Outpost.

"Welcome, Venerable Paladin......"

As the first true outpost built by the Outlanders Expeditionary Force on the Hellfire Peninsula, the defense of the Falcon Outpost was fully handled by the Blood Elf Outfarwalker troops from Silvermoon City, and at this moment, Gao He, who arrived here, was also warmly received by the person in charge of this place, Ranger Captain Wayne Ray.

"Wait...... Do you know me? ”

Originally, I was just going to take a break here, and by the way, I was able to inquire about the information of Gao He, but I was unexpectedly received like this. He also showed a puzzled expression.

"Yes...... Mr. Paladin, in Silvermoon City, I was in Haduron? Under the guidance of Lord Mingyi, I will fight side by side with you......"

Really...... Lao Tzu's fans are all over the world, and he has even penetrated into the interior of the outer lands......

I was a little proud of this. Next, he accepted the other party's kindness peacefully.

Frankly speaking, the living environment of the Hellfire Peninsula is really too harsh, so that it has inexplicably suffered a vicious battle with the magic mecha before this. Next, Gao He also encountered many monsters and evil beasts attacked.

The most dangerous of these was in a valley before arriving at the Falcon Outpost. Suddenly attacked by a giant burrowing worm - Gao He almost thought that he was going to be swallowed by the big guy and never see the light of day, but fortunately, in a hurry. A package stuck in the burrower's mouth saved his life.

"That's right...... Captain, can you see who this package belongs to? ”

After briefly explaining what had happened to him, Taka took the green package out of his bag - it looked intact despite being stained with the acid of the burrowing worms.

"This ......"

Ranger Captain Wayne Ray's expression suddenly became strange as he glanced at the package.

"I ...... I think...... These are probably the ones that now stay on the border between the Zangar Marshes and the Hellfire Peninsula...... Druid stuff. ”

"Druids? Cenarion Council? ”

Gao He blinked at him suspiciously.

"Probably...... That's the group. ”

Wayne Ray wiped the faint sweat from his forehead.

"But now they call themselves the 'Cenarion Expedition' - they had asked us to recruit people for them to investigate the area called Falling Star Mountain......"

"I see......"

Gao He didn't expect that the Cenarion Council, which had always been indisputable, would actually send people to the outer regions, and it would actually act independently from the Alliance and the Horde.

However, now that he learned such information, Gao He felt that it was necessary to go over and take a look, and by the way, he also inquired about the recent situation of the dragon clan.

"So...... I'll take my leave. ”

After resting and declining Wayneray's next offer, Taka and set off again, following the direction of the Ranger Captain, along the wide passage known to the Orcs as the "Road of Glory" to the camp where the Cenarion Druids were.

Although he wasted a little time on the way to help mediate the dispute between the three blood elves, who were presumed to be a husband dating a mistress and caught by his wife on the way, he soon saw the druids who were busy beside a small hill and seemed to be planting something.

"Welcome...... Paladin, may Mother Earth protect you. ”

To Gao He's surprise, he was greeted by a cow of a rare species in the world of Azerohi...... Ahem. Well, it's the female Minotaur.

Although I have heard early on that the minotaur has a unique affinity with nature...... Well. According to Gao He, another saying that circulates among the top is "to protect endangered species", in short. Today's minotaur race has joined the Cenarion Council, and now, there is a refreshing group of minotaur druids in the Cenarion Council, the most powerful of which is the druid Hamul? The rune totem was even accepted as a personal disciple by the Grand Druid Malfurionβ€”it is said that for this matter, the Priestess of the Moon, Tyrande? Yufeng was happy for a while.

Now, the Cenarion Council's initiative is beginning to see results, at least for now, when these effeminate Night Elf druids intend to carve out a land in the hard ground of the Hellfire Peninsula where they can bury seeds. This docile cow ...... The head man can help a lot.

"We're here to investigate the ecological anomalies of Falling Star Mountain -- the land here seems to have suffered unspeakable pain."

While being led by a Night Elf druid with a rope tied to his nose ring, the cow-headed man Sean? Redmane explained the current situation for Takawa.

The package that Gao He accidentally retrieved from the Driller's mouth is said to be an important piece of information that a scout got from Falling Star Mountain, and the scout was then attacked by the Driller and lost his package, but now Taka He's arrival has solved the problems that the druids have to face.

"You see, it contains the seed of life that we have stripped from the furious crystalstone giants at great risk - with this we can communicate with the land and figure out why they are in such a manic state......"

As he spoke. The cow, who had already ploughed a small plot of land, began to carefully bury the fiery red crystal fragments into the earth, and then cast a small natural spell to summon the scarce rain on the Hellfire Peninsula to water the land.

Look...... Ploughing, sowing, watering, fertilizing and harvesting are all in one. The Minotaur, who is more convenient than any machine, has to admit that the Cenarion Council is really a good deal. At least if they put these minotaurs on the table, they would never get such a big benefit......

Soon. These crystal seeds, which had been carefully watered by the Minotaurs, germinated - and unexpectedly, they germinated quickly. And eventually grew into a huge red crystal giant.

Clearly, though, the Minotaur had anticipated this, and soon, thick green vines burst through the ground, easily restraining the giants and rooting themselves within their torsos, sucking the energy from them.

"Sure enough...... It's the problem with these crystals. ”

Soon, the Minotaur, who had already figured out the root cause, came back to Gao He after a little discussion with the female night elf druid who had led her by the nose before.

"Over there, there is a huge red crystal that fell from the sky - we call it the Falling Star Mountain, I think, it is the violent energy contained in that crystal, which leads the earth element here to become turbulent, so ......"

"Wait......"

Gao He motioned for the cow to stop the mission for a while.

"I just...... Just passing by and saying hello, I don't mean to help with the task. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When the minotaur heard this, she first glared at him in surprise at the pair of bean-sized calf eyes, but soon she let out a funny breath from her nose.

"It's okay, we can talk about something else first - by the way, you've heard of Amway...... Oh, is that the purpose of the Cenarion Expedition? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I always feel ...... It seems that I was accidentally involved in some incident that I shouldn't have been involved in...... (To be continued......)

PS: P.S: Overslept......

P.S2: When I dream, I dreamed about the follow-up episode, what would I say?

P.S3: CunzΓ i, who even sleeps and thinks about the plot like me, is really dedicated!

That's right...... Have you ever heard of P.S4?
