Chapter 221: Sketis

Jiang Weihan returned to Storm Fortress and met with the others to discuss what to do next. β–³β†— Top Novel,www.

"Now that we're outnumbered, Storm Fortress power is damaged, and it's not enough to carry everyone." Adar's voice is delivered to all.

This is again bad news.

At present, the troops that have arrived from Azeroth, after the baptism of hellfire, there are still more than 60,000 people left. Add to that the draenei and the Shatterers, orcs, ogre legions, and former expeditionary forces, among others, and the large number of civilians that have greatly exceeded the current capacity of the Storm Fortress.

Quinn said: "According to the intelligence, the total number of demons in Blade Mountain and Void Storm has exceeded 300,000, but the good news is that after the Hellfire descended, the portal we detected Void Storm stopped running and has completely disappeared. Probably there won't be more demons coming to the Outlands in the future. ”

This is a blessing in disguise. More than 300,000 demons are enough to crush them, and with the invincible great demon of Akmund, they will not have the slightest chance of winning a head-to-head showdown. No more demons are coming in, though, which is good news.

Danas frowned and said, "In this case, you can't fight hard. We need to find an easy place to defend and defend against the Burning Legion before we can make the jump. ”

"But where is there such a place in the Outlands?" Kudran asked.

There was some silence.

Jiang Weihan said: "We can use an elimination method - first of all, this place should be wide enough to at least accommodate us. Second, we need to keep our vulnerable areas small. For example, some narrow canyon or towering mountain peak. In this way, the Burning Legion will not be able to exert its numerical advantage; Finally, it can't get too close to Bladeblade Mountain, Void Storm, or the Dark Gate. ”

He listed these conditions. The crowd began to ponder where such a place could be found in the outer lands.

Prophet Velun suddenly spoke, "I know of a place. This requirement should be met. ”

All eyes were on the leader of the Draenei.

His gaze was deep, and his face was a little unbearable, but he still said, "Sketis." ”

Sketis – When you hear the name, the eyes of those who know this place are bright.

This is a small basin in the interior of Mount Ravenfeather at the junction of the Terokkar Forest and the Shadowmoon Valley. The terrain of Raven Feather Mountain is steep, and the mountains are so high that ground troops cannot climb it at all. Sktis can only be accessed from the air.

If they go there to defend, it means that the Burning Legion can only attack them with air power. No matter how much ground forces there are, it is useless.

"I think it seems to be the territory of the Raven Man, right?" Kudran said. He also knew about this place, but he didn't think of it just now. He had originally built the Hammer Fortress in Shadowmoon Valley, and the back of the fortress was leaning on the tail of Raven Feather Mountain.

"That's it." Jiang Weihan said. He also remembered that there was a place that the Prophet Virons could think of was because of the constant hostility between Shattrath's air power, the Shatar Sky Guard, and the Raven People of Sketis, who often harassed the Draenei of the Teroka Forest.

And now if they're going to move there, they have to clear the threat.

"Let's go with our combined forces of the Air Force."

The Air Force Joint Forces are not there to negotiate. Now that time is pressing, they can only use thunder to expel the Raven natives of Sketis.

Khadgar, along with Kudran, will also be involved in this operation.

"Kudran, do you remember, that Raven Man?" Khadgar's voice carried an inexplicable emotion.

"That...... Gryzk. That's the name, right? Kudran apparently knew who this old friend was referring to.

Khadgar nodded, "That's right. ”

"Of course, how can you forget jΓ¬? I don't know where he is. ”

"Let's hope he's not in Sketis." Khadgar said.

Jiang Weihan lagged behind them a little and heard the two talking. He asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

When Khadgar saw that it was him, he nodded in salute and said, "We're talking about a Raven Man who helped me with us. His name is Gryzk. ”

He talked about his past with the Raven Man.

When they were on their expedition to Draenor, they had been aided by this raven named Gryzk in Okington, a temple built by the Draenei. This raven man is very smart. At first, he secretly followed Danas and the others, and learned the lingua franca through their daily conversations. Within a few days, he spoke very fluently.

It was thanks to his help and leadership that Danas was able to catch up with the remnants of the Horde.

Gryzke had been a great help to them, and he had fought alongside them. After that, however, Gryzke disappeared and was not contacted again for more than a decade.

Truth be told, if this Raven Man was also in Sketis, they couldn't bear to meet Gryzk like this.

"Raven ......" Jiang Weihan remembered the name, and remembered the last version he played before crossing over, "King of Draenor". Among them, the history and civilization of the Raven People have been partially revealed. These guys had very powerful technology and a glorious history in ancient times, but in this era, the Aecipis civilization they once proud of is gone. After the destruction of Draenor, the current Raven people have even regressed to the level of Cheng DΓΉ of the primitive tribes.

However, the wisdom of the Raven has not degraded, and the IQ of these guys is definitely not lower than that of the gnomes of Azeroth. At least Jiang Weihan hadn't heard of a few dwarfs who could master another completely unfamiliar language in a few days without the need for someone else's teaching.

"Then let's try negotiating first." Jiang Weihan said to the two, "If they can choose to cooperate, they will not lose a good helper." ”

Khadgar and Kudran both had smiles on their faces.

"Thank you for the opportunity you've given them."

"No, it's not just because of you." Jiang Weihan smiled, he thought that he played the king of Draenor before he crossed over, and the first purple follower he got after completing the Raven Man's quest line was the "Raven Claw Priest" Ishal.

He remembered that one of the captains of the Sky Guard had just given a briefing on the current situation in Sketis, and that this guy was still one of the three leaders of Sketis. Jiang Weihan couldn't help but look forward to this reunion from the game to reality.

β€”β€”

Akmund teleported behind the Dark Gate. In order to let Jiang Weihan and the others fall into the net, he didn't even destroy the Dark Gate directly. Instead, they quietly lurked to the side, waiting for the ignorant ants to crash into the trap themselves. He struck again and wiped out all of them.

However, after waiting for two or three hours, it stands to reason that someone should have come, but the demon in charge of reconnaissance did not detect the traces of the Outland Alliance forces at all.

Akmund had a bad feeling that he might have been exposed.

This was confirmed by the Recon Demons who were later sent further away to confirm this, as they found that the Storm Fortress had led the natives in the direction of the Terokkar Forest.

Akmund was a little angry that his opponent was not fooled. He'll have to work a little harder to get rid of that troublesome opponent.

He was silent for a while, and could only wait for Kazak to lead the hundreds of thousands of troops of Blade Mountain before starting his attack.

Now that destroying the Dark Gate has lost its meaning, it is better to keep fishing.

On the other side of the Dark Gate, there were still a large number of troops waiting to enter the Outlands. However, when hellfire fell from the sky, the rout that appeared stopped them in their tracks.

The frightened soldiers told the leaders what had happened near the Dark Gate, and the news was so shocking that they could only suspend the sending of reinforcements and pray for the safety of those in the Outlands.

"What do you think?" Antonidas looked at the other mages.

Anna, Medivan, and Kael'thas are all here.

Originally, they were all preparing to enter the Dark Gate behind the Night Elf forces, but now the situation on the other side is really not optimistic. In the current situation, leading troops in the past is no different from sending them to death.

"I'm afraid they're in big trouble." Anna's brow almost furrowed. She has lived through the Hyjal Holy War. But I've never seen or heard of such a scale and density of Hellfire summonings. This literally refreshed her understanding of the Burning Legion.

She even thought that if Akmund had done this during the Battle of Mount Hyjal, all resistance would have been nearly eradicated.

"The situation described by those Night Elf soldiers and Lordaeron soldiers is simply horrific - I'm afraid they ......" Kael'thas didn't dare to say something like "Bad luck is too bad." That's so frustrating.

He had been to the Battle of the Well of the Sun. Even the low-density hellfire that came down caused a lot of casualties to the troops, and the soldiers who returned described the situation almost a dozen times more than the original Sun Well battlefield.

Although he did not see it, he was able to imagine it. On the other side of the dark portal must be purgatory on earth.

Medivan said, "Don't worry too much, they shouldn't be fine now." ”

Several ** divisions looked at him. Wait for his explanation.

"If anything happens to them, then the hellfires near the Dark Gate have rushed to our side. But do you see any demons entering the gates of darkness? ”

This is a very reasonable explanation. Medivan continued: "I guess. This must have been an extraordinary measure by the Burning Legion as a last resort to prevent them from returning through the Dark Gate. ”

"So what can we do now?"

"Waiting for a good opportunity."

β€”β€”

The Raven people of Sketis belong to the Araka tribe, and the three Ravenclaw Priests are their leaders. The trio are named Ishal, Skakik, and Seelik. Although the glorious civilization of the Raven People is lost, they still have some unique magic in their hands.

The Raven people of the Araka tribe worship Ansu, the god of crows, who symbolizes the shadows. They are particularly adept at utilizing shadow spells, especially camouflage and stealth.

The Sky Guard had superior air power, and even built a base outside the gates of Sketis, but they were not able to suppress this group of ravens because they were too good at hiding themselves. In normal times, the Sky Guard's air knights couldn't find where their opponents were, let alone exterminate them. Instead, they were attacked many times by stealthy enemies.

The Sky Guard is working on a shadow potion that can see invisible crowmen clearly, but it is still in the experimental stage and has not yet been completed.

Although the Shadow Potion is not completed, Valoran has a very mature anti-stealth product, the Truesight Potion. Whoever drinks it can detect nearby cloaked creatures. After the coalition's air forces arrived here, Jiang Weihan and Khadgar and the others landed in the Black Wind Valley. He drank the Truesight potion and walked inside Skitis.

Their eyes shone slightly. This is what the potion does. Now the invisible Raven Man has nowhere to hide in front of them.

At first, a few ravens cautiously lurked and aimed their venomous daggers at them. However, it was detected in advance before it was moved. The guards beside them caught the raven sneak attackers in a few clicks.

"Take us to your three leaders." Jiang Weihan said to the captured crow sneak attacker.

The crows watched this scene in horror, they didn't expect that their invisibility would be seen through!

This means that they will lose their natural greatest advantage. From now on, Sketis will no longer be safe.

They were taken to a complex of raven people. These crow people build suspended bridges between the trees to connect their dwellings, and their buildings have their own unique style, which is simple and beautiful, and blends in perfectly with the forest. Although it is not as elaborate and ornate as the elven building, it has a practicality that surpasses that of the other party.

They met the three Raven rulers on a high platform in the shape of a double altar.

The three Ravental priests looked the same: they all wore feathered crowns and heavy cloaks. Jiang Weihan couldn't tell which one was Ishal, but he thought it was similar to the one with the purple trim on it.

The opening of the Ravental Priest was not at all friendly:

"You're throwing yourself into a trap. Intruder! ”

"We'll torture you well."

"Tell us the secret that you can see our true bodies, or let the Cali Bird tear your flesh off your bones and eat it piece by piece!"

"Tell me honestly, we'll consider giving you a way out."

The three Crowtalon priests couldn't wait to start threatening. The implication was that they would hand over the secret of the Elixir of True Sight. Apparently they think this kind of thing is too much of a threat to them.

Jiang Weihan laughed and said, "You wouldn't be stupid enough to think that we didn't want to live to enter here, right?" Look at the skyβ€”" he pointed to the air forces in the distance. "There's the Shatar Sky Guard, there's the Hammer Griffons, there's the Valoran Air Force, there's the Dragon Eagle Knights, there's the helicopters, there's even the Dragons and the Big Floating Ships. We can throw hundreds of thousands of troops here at any time and crush you in an instant. ”

He looked at the three Crowtalon priests, who were gradually showing fear: "Facing such a situation. How do you think we're coming from a drag-and-roll? ”

"Then take you prisoner and let those guys in the sky retreat!" A Ravental priest said viciously.

Khadgar laughed, "I advise you to dispel such thoughts. We are all insignificant emissaries, and kidnapping us will only provoke the wrath of the coalition. In fact, we are negotiating in good faith, and you had better make your position clear. Such a true vision elixir. We want as much as we want. ”

"If you want to negotiate, let your army withdraw first! Otherwise we will see it as a threat and fight to the death! ”

"That's right. Our Raven Nests can be found all over Draenor. If we give us the order, you'll be torn to pieces by countless ravens and Kali birds! ”

Kudran laughed sarcastically, "Then they need to be able to solve your current predicament!" ”

Jiang Weihan swept over the three cunning priests. He asked, "Which of you is Ishhar?" ”

The three priests all looked at him vigilantly at once, "What are your intentions?" ”

"Just ask." Jiang Weihan saw that they were not ready to reveal the news of their companions. Turning to the point, "We're not here to play tricks. As you can see, these in the sky are only a small part of our many forces. We can easily wipe out you, and even all the Ravens in the Outlands. But we're not murderous demons, and for the most part, we don't do that. ”

"Then you ......" A crow man was about to speak, when Jiang Weihan stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"I don't know if you've gotten any information from other crow nests - especially the crows near Blade's Edge Mountain. Now the demons of the Burning Legion are wreaking havoc on the Outlands, and according to our intelligence, there are no other creatures other than demons in Blade Mountain. And they're heading south, ready to sweep away all the creatures of the Outlands. ”

"We only have two choices, one is to resist, and the other is to be ruined or surrender."

"Our coalition has chosen to resist. If you Raven are prepared to do the same, we hope to be able to form an alliance for a while against the Burning Legion; If your choice is to submit, then we will eliminate you first in order to prevent our enemies from becoming more of an evil tainted group of Raven people. ”

"Now, sue me, what is your choice?"

β€”β€”

With knives around their necks, these Raven people of the Araka tribe had no choice at all, and in order not to die immediately, they had to agree to form an alliance, and then watched as Naru's spaceship carried countless people of various races into the sacred place they had guarded for countless years.

However, they also sent envoys to contact the crow's nests of other tribes at the same time, wanting to prove if the situation was as terrifying as Jiang Weihan said - there have always been several large crow nests in Blade Mountain, and those crow people are still alive and well under the encirclement and suppression of ogres and orcs for many years, so it is impossible to say that they will be destroyed, right?

But the results of the facts are really not exaggerated in the slightest. The Cali Birds, whom they had sent to scout the situation, had seen only different kinds of demons on what is now Blade's Edge Mountain, and nothing else.

The nests have been completely destroyed. All that remains are burning ruins and corpses.

As soon as the coalition arrived, they began to set up camps and fortifications around Sketis, and the most important thing to do now was to contact Sinistra, the Mother of Dragons in Shadowmoon Valley.

Previously, Jiang Weihan gave up asking for help from the Dragon Mother because he found that the dark door was open, but he didn't expect that now this would become the only way out for them to escape at present...... The impermanence of the world made him feel emotional.

Shadowmoon Valley is next to Sketis, and after Jiang Weihan has arranged the affairs of the new base, he and Onexia immediately go to the Spirit Wing Floating Island to find the Mother of Dragons. (To be continued......) R527
