Chapter 15: Windsol
The Burning Plains, as the name suggests, makes it seem as if everything here has just been burned or is burning, so although it is a plain area, it is not so suitable for habitation, not to mention the various threats in this area, which is also a big reason why the nobles of Stormwind do not care about this place.
The dry, hot environment was also uncomfortable, and with the abundance of lava, it was feared that no nobleman would want to build a manor in this place.
"It's a terrible place. ”
Loki is also dissatisfied with the environment here, I don't know if it is the influence of the blood of the frost giant, or because of the attribute of cultivating during this time, which has caused him to get closer to the frost power, since he came to the Burning Plains, his brow has not been loosened, as long as he is not mentally retarded, you can see how bad his mood is now.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
"As soon as we rescue Windsor, we will leave. ”
"Where's that Wendsol?"
According to Ethan's memory, the Marshal Wendthor should have been imprisoned in Blackstone Mountain, which was located in the northwest corner of the Burning Plains, and the road they had entered from Red Ridge Mountain was in the southeast corner of the Burning Plains.
"That means we have to go through the entire Burning Plains?"
"That's it. ”
The malicious intent of the map designers is just to make players waste more time, and at the same time cause some trouble on the way, so that players can experience more 'fun'.
But when all this becomes a real situation, there will be no emotions other than irritable feelings, let alone any fun.
The terrible environment and the orcs, ogres and other creatures that pop up from time to time make it impossible for everyone to rest well.
So, Ethan and the others simply gave up resting and hurried with all their might, striving to rush to the Black Stone Abyss in the shortest possible time, and rushed in directly after recovering some physical strength nearby, killing those black iron dwarves and rescuing the marshal.
The journey day and night, even Serena couldn't stand it, the main reason was still the bad environment here, so this rare vampire who had always seemed quiet since joining Ethan's gang also began to complain.
"What a terrible experience, the first time I've had such a bad experience in all these years of life. ”
"That's a broadening of knowledge. ”
Ethan didn't care much about Serena's complaints, this was a sign that she was finally starting to integrate into their group, and if it was always as quiet as before, it would make people feel alienated.
In the midst of this complaint, everyone finally came to the Black Rock Mountain, and saw the fortress built by the Black Iron Dwarves, and the next thing was much simpler, just find a way to enter the Dark Furnace City and then find Wendthor.
It's not as simple as in the game, even if he was skilled in the game, but this is a completely different real world from the game.
The easiest way to do this is to go through the main entrance and fight your way through.
"Isn't it too simple and rude?" Loki had always prided himself as a smart man, and he didn't look too much at such a rough solution.
"There is a more careful and cautious way, but it will waste more time, and it will take at least a day to conduct a detailed investigation......"
"I think it's good to be simple and crude. "It's absolutely not okay to stay for another day or something, if possible, he would have rescued that marshal in the next second, and then leave this hellish place.
"What about after rescuing Windsor? Don't tell me to go back the way I came. Logan couldn't stand it and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but instead of looking at anyone, he looked at the southern sky.
In fact, he wasn't the only one looking in that direction, and Loki also noticed a figure in the sky in the distance: "That's ......"
"It's a black dragon. Ethan didn't have much memory of the monster in his previous life, but he still knew what it was: "That's where the Black Dragon Clan keeps the young dragons, and that big guy is the protector who is responsible for taking care of the black dragon cubs." ”
Ethan didn't know the name of this black dragon, because even when he was playing the game, he hadn't paid attention to this black dragon, and what he didn't know couldn't be turned out even if his memory was strong.
In this world, there is no game world where you can see the name at a glance, so he can only introduce this black dragon to his partners.
"He's going to attack any creature that comes near that area, so he won't attack us as long as we don't get close there. ”
The figure of the black dragon can be clearly seen from such a distance, and it is conceivable that this black dragon is huge, even Loki doesn't want to provoke this kind of guy.
"For now, let's focus on these dwarves......
The attack on Dark Furnace City went smoothly, and there were not too many obstacles along the way, because the Black Iron Dwarves put the focus of their defense in the city, such as the outskirts of Black Rock Mountain, there were only a few sentry posts, and these Black Iron Dwarves were eliminated when they couldn't even warn and call for help when they faced Ethan.
When you don't know how to get ahead in a city, the easiest way to do this is to follow the main road, but this rule is not very common in Blackstone Mountain, because sometimes it is not the road that connects the two areas, but the giant chains.
"These dwarves built their cities in places like this, and used chains as bridges?"
Ethan spread his hands, the ghost knows if these dwarves have other more normal ways to get in and out easily, anyway, he doesn't know, after a circle on the Black Rock Mountain, Ethan found that the scenery in front of him has a lot of overlap with the game screen in front of him.
It's just many times bigger.
Maybe they just like it. ”
The invasion could not remain unnoticed forever, and only halfway through the chains, more black iron dwarves had rushed out from the opposite side, and these dwarves were armed with muskets and launched an attack on the people traveling on the chains.
This kind of long-range shooting, Ethan they are not afraid of anyone.
Wolverine has a wealth of war experience, he was born, grew up and lived in the era, which happened to be the rapid development of thermal weapons for more than 100 years, he participated in almost all the important wars in the era of thermal weapons, when he saw that the black iron dwarf on the opposite side did not even do hiding, he pouted disdainfully, and then lifted the M16A4 that had been carried behind him for a long time and was almost never used in formal combat.
After many worlds of 'shaking', Ethan's current thermal weapons are not the original batch for a long time, in addition to keeping some of them, Rogan also got some good goods from Tony.
The one he had in his hand was obtained from Tony, and there was nothing special about it, let alone any black technology, but for this group of black iron dwarves who were still using front-loading smoothbore guns, this thing itself was black technology.
At Logan's 'roll call', the dwarves on the opposite side fell one by one, and their 'intensive' shots were unable to do any damage to Ethan.
It is said that two people each holding one of these smoothbore guns, standing back to back and walking twenty steps forward, then turning back to aim at each other and firing again, the probability of either person being hit is as low as close to zero.
If this weapon wants to be truly lethal, it requires a large number of soldiers to hold the weapon and then launch a dense fire cover, which is exactly what the Black Iron Dwarf on the opposite side did, but unfortunately even then there are not many bullets that really threaten Ethan, and the few bullets that hit the 'target' were easily blocked by Ethan's magic shield.
The sound of gunfire continued for quite some time, and all the black iron dwarves armed with muskets fell to the ground, wailing on the ground even if they were not killed on the spot, and they had no strength to stand up and continue to attack Ethan.
At this time, Ethan and the others had just stepped down from the huge chain, and then each used the weapons in their hands to kill the wailing black iron dwarves one by one.
Killing a group of Black Iron Dwarves who stood in the way, Logan swapped magazines for his weapons and refilled them with empty magazines.
After sorting out the equipment a little, everyone continued to move forward, and the number of black iron dwarves that appeared gradually increased, but in the face of various more advanced weapons, and Ethan, a mage, also began to participate in the attack, the black iron dwarves' blocking could not play any substantive role at all.
So they soon came to Darkhearth, and it didn't take long to find the prison where Wendthor was being held.
"Reginald Windsor?"
Locked up in the cell is a sturdy middle-aged man, although he looks a little decadent, I don't know how long he has been locked up, but it seems that his body is still very strong, and his brown hair has not become very long and messy, you can know that he exercises regularly, and is taking care of his hair, but I don't know how to do the latter.
"Who are you?"
"We're here to get you out. ”
"Help me?"
Wendthor looked at the people in front of him, the number was a typical elite team configuration, could it be someone from Stormwind? I just don't know who sent it: "Who sent you? Could it be Bolval? No, that idiot couldn't have thought I'm still alive......"
Ethan was about to open his mouth to introduce himself and the others, but before he could speak, Wendsol on the other side scolded like crazy.
"Bolvar fool, the evidence I gathered was two feet high in front of him, but he turned a blind eye if I could find the Hammer of Iron Guts......"
Ethan didn't want to listen to this guy go crazy and curse endlessly, took out the battle cross and cut the lock, walked in and directly dragged out the former marshal of the Storm Kingdom who scolded non-stop.
"What are you doing? No, I'm not going to leave here!"
"I'm not asking for your opinion, Reginald Windsor. ”
Ethan remembers that this guy had a lot of in the game, and he would leave here only after all of it was solved.
He didn't bother to deal with those trivial things, he looked for this guy just to add some 'chips' to himself, so that he could better win Varian's trust...... and Gianna.
