Heading north along the outer walls of Zudak, Xue Huan was taken to a camp on the edge of Zudak after about an hour.

It was a modest camp of modest size, built up of a few simple wooden huts, and three or two Dakale troll warriors armed with giant axes patrolled back and forth at the gate with serious expressions.

As soon as Xue Huan and Ish approached the camp, the trolls became alert, instinctively baring their teeth at Xue Huan, raising their battle axes, and occasionally letting out a low warning roar from their mouths.

"Put away your hateful countenance, Rumbis, a guest from afar, a friend of his master. ”

Ish glared at the warning troll, then turned to Xue Huan behind him and explained, "Don't mind, they're used to having hostility and vigilance written on their faces, you know, enemies are everywhere in this cold wasteland. ”

Xue Huan nodded, noncommittal.

Seeing that the other party was not annoyed by this, Ish's heart at the mention of his throat and eyes also relaxed.

Although his master did not say it explicitly, he was clever enough to vaguely guess the true strength of the Death Knight, which they could not afford to provoke.

Taking a deep breath, Ish stretched out his hand at Xue Huan and made a "please" gesture, "Please come with me, distinguished guest, the master is waiting for you inside!"

I have to say that when an ugly troll does all kinds of human-like behavior, the level of comical can be imagined, and Ish is like that.

Xue Huan sneered, ignoring the noisy barking and burning eyes around him, and followed Ish straight towards the camp.

There were more Dhakale trolls along the way than he had imagined, but he didn't expect that there were so many frost trolls stationed in this humble camp, and there were all blacksmith furnaces, grain warehouses, and rest houses, just like a small fortress.

Xue Huan retracted his gaze from looking around, but he had a heart in his heart.

It seems that he still underestimated the military power of these Dakale trolls, and even this small fortress has such a large number of Dakale trolls stationed and well supplied, so how terrifying should the hidden military power beneath the land ruled by the Dakale trolls?

Xue Huan didn't dare to think deeply.

Perhaps the trolls with their own civilization will be obstacles that must be cleared in his plan in the future, but for now his primary target is still the Viku people who are entrenched in the castle of Utgard.

After a short time, under the guidance of Ish, Xue Huan was taken to a wooden hut. Unlike the rest of the wooden houses, the décor of this wooden house is noticeably more luxurious, and it is made of a mixture of masonry and wood.

In the center of the wooden house, a blue totem carved from wood is dazzling, as if to show its pride to the visitor.

"Please. ”

Ish stretched out his hand and bowed slightly, while Xue Huan nodded lightly and walked in without saying a word.

Entering the room, the first thing that jumped into Xue Huan's eyes was the rows of neat trophies, including the horns of snow-falling elks, the teeth of tundra jackals, and the limbs and organs of all kinds of beasts that Xue Huan couldn't identify.

On top of that, there are several battle axes hanging from the walls, as well as some totemic decorations symbolizing the dhakale trolls, which are all the decorations in the wooden house.

Just as Xue Huan was looking around, a heavy footstep came into his ears.

Before he could react, a huge Dakale troll appeared in front of him.

The troll, with its sharp fangs and blue skin, was half a body taller than Xue Huan, full of wildly explosive muscles, a leather-tight tunics, and a bloodthirsty red glow in his eyes.

"Hello, distinguished guest. ”

The troll spoke first, and locked his eyes on Xue Huan, his voice sounding low and hoarse, "I'm very glad you can come to this fortress. ”

Facing the strong, unusually tall Dakale Troll Warrior in front of him, Xue Huan did not feel the slightest fear.

He forced himself to meet the troll's gaze: "Do you know me? Or do I know you?"

It was as if this "giant beast" had never appeared in his memory, and the other party's earnest eyes and tone seemed to be looking forward to his arrival.

"We don't know each other. ”

The troll shook his head, "But the power you have, it's what I've been looking for. ”

It seems that another guy who will do anything for the sake of power...

Xue Huan sneered in his belly, but did not answer.

He's waiting.

He knew that this kind of guy who aimed at the infinite pursuit of power would definitely be satisfied with the conditions he offered.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Dakuru, and this huge fortress built in my name is my own military base. ”

Dakuru bowed slightly, and there was a hint of humility in his tone: "My scouts have reported to me on the conversation in the Gudak Hall just now, and on this matter, maybe we can reach a consensus." ”

"You mean..."

Xue Huan raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Utgard Castle?"

"Of course!"

Dakuru nodded, nothing could be more certain.

He pointed to the loot nearby and the neatly hung weapons on the walls, and said proudly, "This fortress is no worse than Goodak's, and my Dhakale trolls are all good at fighting and well-armed, so we may be able to be your most solid and loyal allies." ”

Facing Dakuru's "enthusiasm and directness", even Xue Huan was a little surprised.

What exactly is this guy for?

"Are you for the Ring of the Aloin?" Xue Huan asked coldly.

He guessed that perhaps only the Ring of Alo, which the troll was proud of and regarded as an artifact, would make the troll in front of him so crazy.

But what Xue Huan didn't expect was that Dakuru shook his head.

"Aloe is the god of the people who live in the trolls of Goodak, and I've long since lost the slightest interest in those things. ”

Dakuru's tone was a little angry, thinking of the evil spell that the one named Ish had shown him before, Xue Huan suddenly understood a little.

"Your purpose is a dark spell?"

Xue Huan looked up at Dakuru, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, unexpectedly, this Dakale troll would investigate his information clearly.

"You guessed right, honored guest!"

Dakuru licked his chapped lips, his eyes glowing with greed, "Strength, this is the only thing I seek, and the rich dark power you hold is the ultimate I seek. I have studied those obscure magic spells on my own, but I have never made great progress, and if you don't dislike it, I will follow you and become the most powerful warrior under your command, and I will break through the obstacles and expand the territory for you!"

Dakuru's words made Xue Huan a little moved...

At this time, his strength was clumsy, and there were very few available Scourge soldiers, and he urgently needed a group of usable soldiers, and even more urgently needed a batch of corpses to transform into undead Scourge. And if you can use the dhakale trolls under this guy's command as the vanguard of the assault on Utgard Castle, then everything will be easy.

But some doubts still linger in Xue Huan's heart...

"How many Dakarai trolls do you have, and why did you choose to join us?"

Xue Huan coldly asked the confusion in his heart, at the moment, he didn't dare to rashly recruit this army of trolls of unknown origin, in case they betrayed him, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Realizing that something was wrong, Dakuru withdrew his greedy gaze and looked out the door, where some Dakale trolls were busy building iron armor, a weapon that would soon be used in war.

"Once upon a time, I was one of the Frost Trolls of Dakale. ”

Dakuru turned, sat down on the wooden chair, and whispered, "But I don't believe in the so-called gods of Alo, I always think that there is a greater power waiting for us to dig into." These actions of mine were seen as rebellion by my compatriots and I was banished. ”

"Then, in desperation, I united a large group of like-minded Dakale troll warriors to oversee the construction of this impregnable fortress and use it as a base. As you can see, this huge military fortress is equipped with all the supplies and weapons, and more than 400 brave Dakale troll warriors are waiting for me to blow the horn of attack, and I think these conditions should be enough for us to become each other's staunchest allies!"

Temptation, naked temptation!

This temptation, for Xue Huan, is like fat meat in the mouth, and the rain after the rain, he can't find any reason to refuse!

Taking a deep breath, Xue Huan pulled out the Frost Sorrow behind him and gently rubbed the blade of the sword, "Then, you have gained my trust, Dakuru. ”

"Now join me in destroying all enemies that stand in the way of our victory, and after that you will receive my bounty and unsurpassed power!"

"Yes!!"

Dakuru, who had received Xue Huan's promise, nodded happily, his eyes raging with even more crazy desire.

Xue Huan turned around in silence and strode out of the room, he looked up at the sky, the originally blue sky had become dark and gloomy, as if he was giving an ominous notice.

Act of God...

It's coming!
