Chapter 12: The Watchtower

The Swamp of Sorrows is located on the eastern coast of Azeroth, bordered by Red Ridge Mountain, the Headwind Trail, and the Cursed Lands. There are no major roads in this wetland, and most of the time this shady area is wet and rainy, as if part of the Valley of Thorns has drifted here. Seawater seeped into the swamp, turning it into a salty wetland. The trees that grow in the swamp are large and emit moisture, which makes the air more humid and makes it feel like you're in a rainforest.

Aptly named this swamp, the sea water crusts the broken logs and rocks due to the deposition of salt. The road surface is only a few inches above the water's surface, and this painstaking construction makes it possible to travel around the area. This ruined land is made worse by swamp tigers, mud pond monsters, as well as crocodiles, multi-toothed monsters that lurk at the water's edge for travelers.

At this moment, the army was advancing rapidly, and due to the path left by the orcs, coupled with the scouts' days of detection, the march did not slow down. Brad was foaming at the mouth with the two girls about the situation of the Swamp of Sorrow, although he had never been there, but the adventurer was no stranger to this place, after more than twenty years of darkness. There is a lot of information on the forum. It's all posts written by adventurers, and people have specially sorted out the information.

These days, Brad has been refreshed, and since that beautiful night, Brad and Braumus have become significantly closer, and the small estrangement between the two has also disappeared. Since that day, Brad has always been looking for opportunities to get Braumux to help him, and he's now battling his brains to unlock new positions and poses.

But he never succeeded, though. Brad still feels refreshed, and although there is still a long way to go, the future is still bright. The main one is under Aurelia's eyelids. The kind of stimulation that secretly Mimi, not to mention Brad, even Braumux has a bit of a feeling of being unstoppable.

Brad was extremely excited for several days, and the depressed consciousness in his heart also disappeared, and his whole body was full of positive energy, which made Brad realize that women are indeed the biggest motivation for men to move forward.

"There's no value here, I hear you say that?" Braumukes asked.

"Not really. There are a lot of crocodiles here, and it's a great place to produce crocodile skin, and more importantly, it's a place where mythril and real silver are produced. I knew there was a good place to go. However, it has not been discovered, and there is still a long-standing temple here. ”

The whole swamp was extremely dark, and there was a faint smell of rancidity. Luckily, it's all shallow marshes, and it's rocky underneath. Otherwise, the rancid smell alone will be unbearable. Even Brad collected a lot of Tranquility Grass for the soldiers to hold. But there were still many sick soldiers. And don't let the monsters lurk in the mire. It's okay if there are a lot of people, but if there are few people, maybe they will be overwhelmed by monsters at some point.

Hearing Brad talk about the temple, Aurelia finally withdrew her gaze from the window and said in surprise, "Is there anything else you don't know about?" There is a temple here, and I have occasionally heard a green dragon friend mention it, you haven't even touched the green dragon, how do you know the way. There are other things. Don't tell me that this is also the news that your intelligence organization gave you, I also have a copy of that information. ”

"Ahem." Brad then remembered. In addition to government affairs, the intelligence organization's report is also in duplicate, one for himself and one for Aurelia. It's a bad excuse.,But you can't say it's reborn.,And they're not ignorant of the forum or something.,Now the forum has little information.。

"You don't care how he knows the way, can't he see the future? And hurry up to tell me what's so special about this temple, I'm interested in this, I've loved being an adventurer since I was a child. Braumus interrupted Aurelia as she spoke.

Brad hurriedly said, "This temple is also known as the Sunken Temple, which was built by trolls hundreds of years ago to study witchcraft. As a result of being influenced by witchcraft, they fell. The Green Dragons arrived and tried to clear the temple, but the Dragons ultimately failed, losing a large number of their species in the battle. It looks like they're guarding the temple to prevent the remaining green dragons from being controlled by the temple's internal forces. ”

"What about the specific story?"

"I don't know the specifics, but legend has it that the trolls tried to summon and control their ancient god, Haka. Illanicus, the consort of the powerful Green Dragon Queen, was sent to the temple to imprison Haka's evil and purge the temple. Although he destroyed the temple, he became more and more insane as time went on. And Haka's body is also in the temple. Brad said with a flash of inspiration in his mind, there is a crazy green dragon and Haka's body, is it possible to extract Haka's heroic spirit, if the wind snake leader uses it, he will inevitably have another super thug.

Aurelia also told her about what she knew, and it was similar to what Brad said.

"Now is not the time, and I'm sure I'll be here again."

It is indeed not a pleasant thing to march in the swamp, the two people who were deprived of their rights by Brad did not give up, constantly in contact with the generals, and the small movements in the secret continued, although Brad was happy in his heart, but there were two flies that kept buzzing and barking, which was always annoying.

The orc sentry in the swamp was empty, and even the largest stronghold of the orcs in the swamp of sorrow, Stonerd, who could guard the main transportation routes, was no longer there, and the alliance finally reached a scorching red land after rummaging through the winding mountain paths.

Even ordinary soldiers can feel the chaotic and violent energy, and it turns out that no one knows the landscape here, but it will definitely not be as bare as it is now. Desolate and lifeless, in this environment, you can feel the depression in your heart just by staying there. Perhaps only through the Cave of Time can we know the glory of this place, which was called the Black Swamp like the Swamp of Sorrows, and has now become a forward base for orcs to attack humanity.

"Marshal, why do we want to camp in this place, first is the best time to give the orcs the last blow." The mage roared angrily at Brad.

"I don't need you to dictate what I do." Brad waved his hand, and immediately two soldiers dragged the mage down, "I don't want to see this person in the future, if I find him within a hundred yards of me again, I will kill him on the spot." ”

After Brad finished speaking, he led many generals to the lookout that had been built. The mage's eyes were full of resentment, and he had expected to receive a very simple task. In his opinion, Brad is just a little kid, even if he didn't know why he became the marshal of the alliance, but he believed that with his own ability, he was still very capable of fooling a child. It was only now that he realized that when he came out of the mountains of his research, he happily accepted the strange eyes of the other colleagues on this mission.

He thought it was envy and jealousy, but now that he thought about it, it was clearly ridicule and schadenfreude. Those damn bastards didn't remind him that they had robbed you of your research projects, and that they were retaliating like this.

He now recognizes himself, he and Brad are not heavyweight opponents at all, he is not even qualified to speak in front of the other party, he can't figure out a hundred, how a hero and a strong man can become the marshal of the alliance, and let his subordinates defend him so much, especially those grassroots soldiers, once accidentally complained about Brad a few words, those soldiers began to alienate themselves, and he saw a deep disgust in their eyes.

The mage is just a small thing, no one cares at all, a second goods from the deep mountains, and they don't understand anything at all and flow back into the water, I really don't know how to write the dead words. Although these generals have never seen Brad's yin, but if Brad can get to his current position, who dares to underestimate it, the dead must be ugly.

"Marshal, are you really going to build a fortress here?" Ferdin, looking at the dark door of lightning and thunder in the distance, asked Brad.

Brad nodded and said, "Of course, you can see that behind here are mountains that are difficult to climb, and in front of you are cliffs of more than a hundred yards. As long as the city gates are built on both sides, they will be closed and not opened. The main thing is to contain the main road to the swamp of sorrow. If we don't occupy such good terrain, we will regret it later. After the fortress is built, let alone the orcs, even a twenty-fold demon army will not want to attack this fortress. ”

"How to solve the problem of supply, leaving the elite of the alliance here, although it can prevent orcs or demons from starting the Dark Gate again in advance, but those people will not agree." Khadgar, while also bullish on the position, has voiced his concerns.

"Under normal circumstances, it really can't." Brad tapped his cane and said confidently, "But what if there's a silver vein here?" ”

All the generals gasped, Thorsilver Mine. It is important to know that the silver ore of Dauron is only produced in Dalongmir and Kui, and Dalongmir is okay and has a high yield. The yield of Kui Island is pitiful, and in the High Elf Kingdom, Thorsilver is their most scarce resource. Seeing Brad's confident appearance, everyone's eyes lit up.

If there really is a Thorsilver vein, there will be no opinion on how many troops are left on Lordaeron's side. Moreover, to the east of the castle, which was named Fort Watch in advance by Brad, is the sea, and there will be no major problems with transportation.

Haduron also forgot about the mustard with Brad at this time, and asked with red eyes, "Are you sure?" How much is there to reserve? ”

"Many, more than you can imagine, even if you collect it with all your might, it won't dry up within thirty years."

"How can you be so sure, you won't deliberately fool us in order to leave the army." Sylvanas was full of suspicion.

Brad said nonchalantly: "I didn't force you to believe it, I just said it in public because I wanted our interests to be equal." If you don't want to participate, you can give up, and I never force others. ”

If you don't participate, you're a fool, and everyone's eyes are shining...... (To be continued......)
