Brooks pulled out the bolt from his knee with all his might, the wound smoking, a terrifying hole carved out by the silver and a shattered melted bone and tendon that he could clearly see. He held the bolt to his eyes, and there was a burning heat from the shaft, and the black blood stains on it were still smoking.

"This weapon restrains us." He threw away his crossbow. Use the dark forces to nourish your wounds. If it were normal, such an injury would quickly heal under the effect of the spell, but now the process has become extremely slow under the effect of Holy Silver. It may be another day, perhaps longer, before he recovers.

Brooks rode on the carapace of the back of the giant beetle, the leader of the Crypt Demons, and let it carry itself through the ground. The carapace between the beetle leader's raised head and smooth back forms a natural sunken shape, allowing the Death Knight to have no worries about falling.

He began to care about the ally who had saved him: "Who are you? ”

"I am the Crypt Lord, King Eldraine Nirub. You can call me Anubarak! "The beetle's arthropods move quickly through the underground passages, and the speed is no less than that of a war horse. It does not have a vocal organ like a human, but its voice is transmitted directly to the subject's mind through a guò psychic connection.

"So you're the Crypt Lord Anubrak? I have heard my master speak of you. Blox remembered that Kel'thugad had indeed mentioned that he had encountered such a powerful servant of the Lich King on his pilgrimage to the North Pole.

"You mean Kel'thugad? Now he is no longer your master. Anubarak said.

"Why?"

"Because he's done what he's going to do." Anubarak's fang-covered mouthparts let out a cacophony of grinding teeth, which meant it was laughing, "Now you're the Lich King's direct servant, the most powerful Death Knight under his command!" ”

……

The addition of Karthas greatly strengthened Dalaran's side. The mysterious mage on the magic carpet heard him ask for his name and replied in a low voice, "The name only represents my past." Now that I've abandoned my old identity, you can call me - the Plaguebringer! ”

Antonidas shouted, "Karthas, let's kill him together." He's stalling for a natural disaster on the ground! ”

"Great idea!" Karthas nodded in agreement. "You're worth my shot."

The Mystic Mage looked up, and everyone could see a little pale skin from him.

"But you're too late. Our goal was achieved. He curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.

"Then kill your minions to cut off the Lich King!" Antonidas shouted, and the spell immediately struck.

"But I don't want to die here yet." The mystic mage laughed, and the flying carpet immediately headed in the other direction. He took these mages to the opposite side of the Dreadlords.

Wayne led everyone all the way north. Along the way, the knights killed hundreds of spiders and beetles that were either broken or overtaken. Others burrowed into the ground before their eyes.

Jiang Weihan strictly forbade the soldiers to enter the underground passage in pursuit. Because they simply have no experience in underground warfare. Entering the cave rashly will inevitably cause great casualties. Anyway, as long as you can catch the death knight Brooks, it will be a victory.

However, in Wayne's sense, even if Brooks is underground, the speed of escaping is no less than the speed of their pursuit, but because of the blockade of the crypt demon, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther. To make matters worse, the flying Nasrezm demon fled to the north, while Broxs fled to the west.

Jiang Weihan felt that the task of pursuing Brooks was more important. And it is impossible for the regular troops to catch up with the demons that flew away.

He also guessed the identity of the giant beetle that saved Blox, which should be the Cryptlord Anubarak!

It's just that he didn't expect that the Crypt Demon and its army would come to the Lordaeron Continent so early. At this moment, Jiang Weihan profoundly realized that his arrival had begun to affect the course of some important historical events. The flapping wings of butterflies have already caused gales, and real storms will come in the future.

If it were in the original history, the Cult of the Damned had not yet begun to pollute civilians with the plague. Not to mention Anubrak leading the Spider Undead, who only made their debut during the siege of Silvermoon a few months later.

It seems that it will be necessary to "prophesy" more carefully in the future, because the later it gets, the greater the deviation from the original history.

"Wayne, how far is Brooks from us now?"

"Half an hour."

……

Anubarak returned to the canvas with Brooks. This is a cave to the west of Icewind Outpost, in the northern foothills of the Alterac Mountains. This is where the Crypt Spiders dig tunnels to infiltrate the battlefield of Alterac.

"On the ground we're going to be easy to catch up," Brooks said. ”

"So we need some help." Anubarak's mind came to mind, "I know there's an orc camp nearby, they can augment our army and attract the attention of those who pursue it. ”

"Orcs?" Bloxes muttered. He looked at his big hands and gray-green skin. "Orcs."

After the Second Orc Invasion War, most of the orcs were captured in the asylum camp. A small number of them went on the run. For example, Grimm Hellroar, the chief of the Warsong Clan, has been fighting against humanity with his own people and some of his joiners. For example, the Rader brothers of the Blackstone Clan, who are entrenched in the Blackstone Tower fortress and infiltrate the territory of Stormwind City towards the Red Ridge Mountain.

And there is another group of orcs who do not turn to Grom against the humans, nor to the pretentious Chief Red. Instead, he chose to continue believing in demons, secretly plotting to build new portals to introduce demons into this world, and then destroy it.

The northern foothills of the Alterac Mountains are home to a group of orcs who continue to believe in demons.

These orcs don't produce, and all their needs come from looting - there are many human villages nearby, and they are far from the heavily defended big cities, so they don't worry about being rounded up. Besides, the strength of the orcs is undoubted, and it is impossible for humans to exterminate them without a large army.

These days, they are almost out of food, and it's time to go "hunting" again.

"They're moving slower."

"But it's getting dark." Jiang Weihan frowned slightly. Their team hadn't encountered any crypt demons for almost twenty minutes. Although it is not accurately calculated, about two-thirds of the Crypt Demons have been eliminated in pursuit. The rest is basically underground.

However, after several hours of pursuit, the horse's body was already a little overwhelmed. They spit white foam in their mouths, and their fur is wet with sweat in the dead of winter.

Jiang Weihan heard an exclamation from behind him - a war horse lost its strength, its front hooves weakened, and it fell to its knees, throwing the knight on its back down.

"You can't chase like this anymore." Jiang Weihan stretched out his hand to signal the army to stop, and then said to Mograine, "General Mograini, this kind of sky is no longer suitable for cavalry marching. Now let's get off our horses and chase after it! I've asked Quinn to inform the garrison of Andohar that they'll be in front of us, as long as we don't lose each other. ”

"Yes, Admiral!" Mograini has been leading the army for many years, and he naturally knows this truth. Continuing to drive the war horse is likely to lead to some senseless loss increases.

"We're going to be faster, so we're going to go first." Jiang Weihan nodded at him, and then cast an acceleration spell on Wayne and himself. Wayne is the key to tracking down Brooks, and he can't miss the target.

"We'll be there!"

At this time, the three angels also found this place. Kyle landed in front of Kang Weihan and followed him closely.

"How's it going?" Jiang Weihan asked.

Kyle didn't answer. Burning Heart had no choice but to reply for his hostess, "Report to the Commander, we killed one of the demons and the other three ran away. ”

"It's already good. They don't look like simple characters. Jiang Weihan comforted.

"But the demon's spirit fled." Kyle's voice was a little displeased. The last time Stratholme killed Banazar, she felt a little powerless. Now she can only kill the Dreadlord's body, but not their souls entirely. That time, if it weren't for Archbishop Alonsos who restrained Banazar with his soul power, she wouldn't have been able to kill it before it could even flee into the Void.

Jiang Weihan said: "Then he may not be able to recover his strength for many years." ”

Kyle snorted coldly, a little reluctant, and a little dissatisfied with his current strength. To put it simply, it's tsundere.

Jiang Weihan asked Angel Yan in a low voice, "Kyle and your strength, how can we restore it?" ”

Angel Yan glanced at his hostess and found that she was unresponsive, so he replied cautiously: "Generally speaking, without the shackles of the League of Legends, our strength will naturally slowly recover over time. ”

"How long will it take to get back to the top?" Jiang Weihan asked casually.

"Uh, 10,000 years?" Hiko's voice wasn't quite sure.

Jiang Weihan was quite speechless: "...... 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day! ”

"There's a child's cry ahead!" Wayne stopped abruptly, listened carefully, and then pointed in one direction, "Over there!" ”

Jiang Weihan and Kyle glanced at each other, and then said quickly, "Lead the way!" ”
