Chapter 123: Wetlands
Wetlands, as the name suggests, are swampy land.
Of course, unlike the barrenness of swamps, the wetlands are covered with green grass belts, and most of them are meadows with a lot of water, and when you step on them, you will feel the wetness spreading from the soles of your feet. But even so, it is home to a lot of creatures.
Kael'thas and the others landed outside the wetland, and after hurrying around the hill, they successfully stepped onto the wetland.
"Kalia, hurry up!"
Running fast, the two of them had to hurry up in order not to let the trolls catch up. However, the path of the wetlands is very difficult, and as an elf, Kael'thas can naturally walk more lightly, but Kalia is different.
The first time the little girl walked this way, she had already dyed her trouser legs earth-colored, and she forced herself to follow Kael'thas with the wet feeling under her feet, so that the latter kept thinking about whether there were waterproof boots in this world.
Luckily, with the help of flashing, they were able to distance themselves from the trolls little by little, and now they had a moment of relief.
"Brother, where are we going? The terrain here is too flat, and there are no trees, so you will be found! ”
Kalia asked as she walked with difficulty, touching the panting little red dragon on her shoulder.
"Go to the middle avenue."
Kael'thas replied that there was an intact avenue in the middle of the wetland, so there was no need to worry about walking. Moreover, he reckoned that the trolls followed them to prevent the two from leaking their secrets, and as soon as they entered the avenue and joined a team, then the trolls would stop.
Apparently, Kalia also knew a little about why the trolls were chasing the two. So after hearing Kael'thas words, he followed and quickened his pace.
Although there was a vague worry in his heart that Onexia would set up surveillance here, Kael'thas felt that she should not come here. Moreover, he entered the avenue in the middle of the wetland, exceeding the city of Dammod in the north of the wetland, and it should be safe at such a distance.
The two soon came to a fork in the road.
"Go to the east side of the road!"
Kael'thas instructed that the eastern (right) avenue leads to Grimabatar and Dan Ogaz, reaching the kingdom of the Dwarves and the way to the south.
He and Kalia headed to the right, but he quickly stopped and returned to the fork to do some tricking.
"I left some traces over there, and told Xiaohuo to run to the mountains with a little clothes."
Kael'thas pointed to the gap in the corner of his coat and smiled mysteriously:
"That way, even if those trolls catch up, they're not sure which way we're going."
"The biggest possibility is that they will chase separately."
If he remembered correctly, there weren't many trolls chasing the two of them, and as long as they separated, even if they met, he could destroy them.
So it's basically safe.
The two of them made their way onto the avenue, which was wide and dry, and seemed to be often traveled.
Along the way, Kael'thas also watched his surroundings very carefully, for fear of seeing the appearance of the dragonmen. Half an hour later, they spotted an oncoming contingent of human merchants.
After changing Kalia with a new pair of shoes to a song, the two move on.
"Careless"
However, within a few minutes of walking, Kael'thas stopped with a frown.
"What's wrong?"
Kalia didn't know why.
"I just watched the dragonmen around me, and I didn't take any precautions against that team."
Kael'thas turned his head with a wry smile and explained:
"The two of us are too conspicuous, and it is estimated that this team will definitely leak the news when they go to the Arathi Heights."
He didn't think that Onexia was capable of this.
"Then let's go back and tell those people at once?"
Kalia said quickly.
"No, it's useless unless you kill them"
Shaking his head, Kael'thas was a little annoyed, in fact, even if he went back, he couldn't keep this group silent, after all, you can't guarantee that humans will refuse the temptation for two strangers, and he is almost certain that in order to collect information, Onexia must have a monetary reward.
Her dragonmen can also transform into humans, so that's not a problem.
But these problems are not unsolvable.
Kael'thas thought about it and realized that the problem was just as easy to solve.
Even if this group of businessmen brought back the news, it might not be without benefits. Their current route is south-facing, which means that if the merchants leak the news, Onexia will only search south.
And what if they change course now, facing west?
Isn't that safe?
To the west is not to go nowhere, as to the west is the largest port in the wetlands, Minahill, which has a route to the port of Theramore, another continent.
Well, that's the future. Now, of course, it is not opened
However, if memory serves, there is also a route there, a route to the kingdom of Kurtilas.
Kurtilas is a commercial nation of several large islands with the most powerful naval fleet in all of humanity. And what is special is that this kingdom does not have a throne, to be precise, the boss of the navy is their king. (Of course, it's basically hereditary, just like a king.) )
When playing the game, there is no place in this place, and the official explanation is that it was washed away by the ocean currents to an unknown place.
That's far-fetched
Still, as the only land that has never set foot in it, Kael'thas has enough interest in this place.
"Kalia, let's go another route."
He made up his mind and said to Kalia.
The latter also happily accepted after receiving her explanation. She had also never been to Kurtilas, so she was interested in the country. When her brother was born, Kalia had heard about the birth of another princess, the daughter of Dilling Proudmoor, King of Kul Tiras.
It seems to be called Gianna Prodmoore.
[Can you be a good friend?]
Kalia thought like this, not knowing that that woman was the one that Kael'thas had loved so much in history.
The two began to walk back, and at the same time, Kael'thas saw several trolls running in the distance with his sharp eyes.
"Kalia, keep up"
He laughed coldly, as he wished, after the fork, the members of the opposing team's team had been reduced.
Raising his hand, the cold breath quickly gathered in his hand, waiting to erupt
Before grilling with a golden flame
[Let me catch the thief first]
He thought, then swiped his hand
In an instant, a chill swept over the surrounding land
