Chapter 209: The Dwarven City of Grimbaatar
After so many mages were harvested by the blades that suddenly poked out of the void, the latecomers already knew how to be wary of these evil creatures. Fewer and fewer mages are tempted/bewitched by the demons in the void and take the initiative to expand the spatial rift. A mage like Kel'thugad with a strong obsession and enough courage even dared to bargain with the evil spirits of the void in exchange for the knowledge and power he needed.
According to Arthas's knowledge of Kel'thugad, the mage was able to learn necromancy without the help of the Lich King Neozu because he had obtained a portion of the necromancy from the demons of the Void with a blank check.
If you extrapolate from the time, Kel'thugad should have communicated with the demon in the void by now. However, Arthas didn't worry too much about this, as long as it wasn't for the Lich King Neozu's summoning and bewitchment, Kel'thugad probably wouldn't have followed the path he had taken in the original stream of time.
Moreover, a considerable number of Dalaran's mages were doing the same thing as Kel'thugad; As far as Arthas knew, there were even some mages who focused on the practice of "summoning creatures from the void". In fact, everything summoned from the void can be classified as "demons", but not all demons are as hungry for blood and destruction as the legend says.
Of course, dealing with demons is an act of walking on the edge of the abyss, and no mage has ever been able to always have the upper hand in communicating with demons; Once the mages are consumed by the greed and obsession in their hearts, the demons' chance to get fresh souls has come.
At the moment when the orcs still belong to the Burning Legion, although the number of orc warlocks is small, the communication with demons is much more convenient than that of humans, and the price paid is much smaller, so in terms of strength, orc warlocks far exceed humans. However, Arthas's attention only flickered over the orc warlock, and his gaze turned to the back of the orc warlock.
Closely following the orc warlocks were several sturdy orc warriors; What really surprised Arthas were the two large, muscular creatures at the end of the orc ranks. The crocodile-shaped head on the neck, the raised spikes on the back, the long striped tail, and the sharp teeth and claws almost made Arthas think that the two monsters were dragons.
However, unlike dragons, these two monsters walked upright, just like humans and orcs; On their right hand, they also hold a huge blade-shaped weapon, which looks ...... It looks like a dragon in human form. Nearly four meters tall, with the muscles of his arms, and the thick scale armor - Arthas felt that the ground combat power of this monster was definitely better than that of a young dragon.
"What is this?" Wenlesa asked in a whisper. Mograine had no answer, just stared nervously at the ranks of orcs that walked past them. Despite the fact that the invisibility technique unleashed by His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas's fiancée was effective, Mograini felt a great threat from the two monsters.
"I don't know." Arthas knew something about dragons and orcs, but he had never seen such a monster before. The orc team hurried into the distance, and Arthas turned his gaze back from the two monsters, beckoning Frostmourn, Winlessa, and Mograine to sneak into the orc's cottage while the gate was still closed.
In the orc cottage, just like the ordinary orc camp, there is no tent to store, because it is close to dusk, a large number of orc warriors are gathering around the cauldron of boiling soup, waiting for dinner to be distributed. A wide passage is made in the middle of the cottage, which follows the path of the mountains, and the end of the road is hidden at the end of the corner of the mountains.
Needless to say, this road is naturally the only road leading to the gates of Grimbaatar. Because the orcs were having dinner, Arthas and his party walked along the road without encountering any obstacles. However, despite successfully infiltrating the orc cottage and making his way to his destination, Arthas's face is clouded.
What those two monsters were, Arthas didn't know; But there is no doubt that this monster should have been born in this orc base called Grimbaatar, and that obvious physical characteristics made Arthas understand that the birth of this monster is inseparable from the red dragon here.
Although it is not true that the larger the warrior, the stronger the warrior, but like the two monsters just now, Arthas felt that even a top warrior like Muradin, it would be difficult to defeat such a thing in a one-on-one battle; And the warriors of the level of the "King of the Hill" are only two in the entire Dwarven Kingdom of Ironforge Fort.
It couldn't be delayed any longer—Arthas looked up at the gate of Grimbaatar in front of him. After rounding the corner of the mountain, a gate carved out of the mountain appeared in front of Artace. Surprisingly, Grimbaatar's door was not closed, but open, and there seemed to be no light inside, only a dark dead silence, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour the prey that came to the door.
However, Arthas did not hesitate to take a few quick steps and step into this completely unfamiliar dwarven city - at least, before the orcs can get more support from the Red Dragon, once and for all, to unravel the fog once and for all! Frost Sorrow naturally doesn't know what fear is, and where the master is, she will follow.
Weenlesa hesitated slightly, but Arthas had already entered the door, and despite the foreboding, Winlesa could only straighten out her waist, and there were no more arrows in her quiver, and she held her longbow, as if drawing strength from the weapon that had always accompanied her, and bravely followed Arthas into Grimbaatar.
Different from the imaginary Longtan Tiger's Den, after entering Grimbaatar, although it is a long dark road, the surroundings have been quiet, and there seems to be no danger. Quietly listening to the breathing of her "squad" members, Wen Leisa slowly let go of the nervousness in her heart.
However, this tranquility did not last long, and soon, at the end of the corridor, there was a little fire. Alsace and his party quickened their pace and crossed the corridor, where a magnificent complex of buildings was unfolded in front of everyone. If there is a race in the world of Azeroth that is the most technologically advanced, the three dwarf races, dwarves, gnomes, and goblins, will definitely argue; But when it comes to the level of architecture, no race dares to compare with the dwarves.
