Chapter 18: Flame Realm

Standing on the west coast of the Eastern Continent and echoing the port of Minahir further north, the majestic Stormwind City is the largest port of the Alliance in the Eastern Continent and the main city of the human race in the Isu World.

As with all regimes, it is inevitable that the hierarchy of power will have all sorts of secrets that are not inhumane. For example, regarding the construction of Stormwind, it is rumored that after the completion of the city, the merchants and dignitaries not only did not pay the stonemasons' guild to build the city, but also tried them as bandits.

Regardless of the rumors, the entire city of Stormwind is built on the edge of the mountains and rivers, and all the buildings are carved out of hard granite stone, and the thick walls and high bunkers form a solid fortress.

Stormwind covers a vast area, divided into commercial districts, artisan districts, magical districts, churches, military forts, and royal palaces. The different areas are separated by moats and connected by stone bridges of different styles.

All kinds of merchants, trainers, civilians, and all kinds of travelers can live peacefully in Stormwind, and for Stormwind, which is no longer on the front line of battle, the human city defense force is enough to keep the city safe.

At night, the palace is peaceful, with patrols occasionally walking along the corridors. In the quiet depths of the back garden of the palace, there is a small team gathering at this time, looking at the standard equipment, it should be a city defense team.

In front of the team stood a girl wearing a fiery red evening dress, the deep furrow in front and the snow-white back exposed in the back, all indicate that this dress must be from the hands of a famous artist, highlighting the girl's proud figure to the fullest.

"Listen up! There is absolutely no room for failure this time! A whole squad trying to catch a pet dog will let it escape, you guys are really disappointing me! The girl stood on a stone in bright red heels, held her head high, and lectured to the team in front of her.

"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, please forgive Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, the subordinates will be extra careful this time, and they will definitely catch a satisfactory pet for Your Highness!" The leader of this team turned out to be Jack, and the blood red cross on the bright silver chain mail became more and more vivid, and the two silver hooks were wiped spotlessly. just bowed his head humbly in front of the girl and apologized sincerely.

"Hmph, the entrance trial of this Alliance Light Academy is about to begin, if you don't even have a pet that can handle it by then, I must make you look good! Anyway, it has to be better than that wicked Night Elf's stinky snake! At the mention of the Night Elves, the girl seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, her eyes lit up with anger, and her big fiery red curls danced with the girl's anger.

Alliance Light Academy, legend has it that after the first war of annihilation, humans, night elves, dwarves and dwarves formed an alliance, in order to cultivate outstanding talents of various races in the alliance, the leaders of each race prayed to the main gods of their respective beliefs through the Holy See, and finally the gods accepted the prayers of the alliance, and sent the apostles of the gods to set up a talent training college on an isolated island on the border of the eastern continent, to educate the elites of the younger generation of the various races of the alliance, so it was named the Alliance Light Academy.

Everything in the academy is in the hands of the oracles, and the teaching content, training measures, and instructors are all in charge of the oracles, and only the best young talents of all races are eligible to be invited to the academy.

Of course, the above is the public statement of the upper echelons of the alliance to the outside world.

"Yes! Your subordinates will do their best to obtain a satisfactory pet for Your Highness! I wonder what kind of pet Your Highness is going to catch this time? "Jack naturally knows how powerful the Alliance Light Academy is, this academy is simply a concentration camp for the cultivation of alliance geniuses. Almost all of the outstanding talents in the history of the Alliance, regardless of the field in which they have achieved the best achievements, if you go back to their youth, almost all of them have studied at the Light of the Alliance Academy.

Jack also knew from his memories of his previous life that the enemies of the Alliance, the Horde Camp, also had a similar organization.

One of the biggest features of Alliance Light Academy is that all students entering the school are required to bring at least one pet to the school. The high-sounding reason is that only those who can be loved by the purest critters in the world of Isu can prove the purity of their hearts, and only those with pure hearts are eligible to enter the school.

Erin glanced at Jack contemptuously, cocked her little nose and snorted softly, and said proudly: "Outsiders only know that the Flame War Lion is the emblem of the Urion family, but in fact, since the confrontation between the ancestors and the orcs, the Flame War Lion is the holy beast of our Urien family, and it is the guardian holy beast of the entire human race!" ”

"This ...... Your Highness has to catch the Flame War Lion? Jack's heart began to retreat, this is not a cat or dog that pops up in a random mountain village or wilderness, this is the guardian beast of the human world, not to mention a legend of hundreds of years.

The Flame Battle Lion, the legendary guardian beast of the human race, is the prototype of the Stormwind City emblem, and the most elite knights in the human world, the Lionheart Knights, are also named after it.

Legend has it that in the First War of Destruction in Antiquity, the companion who has been accompanying the human brave Ureon in the battle against the evil orcs is the Flame War Lion. Some people say that the Flame Lion is the mount of the Brave Urien, others say that the Flame Lion is the weapon of the Brave Ureon, and some people say that the Flame Lion is the armor of the Brave Ureon.

Legend has it that in the final battle of the First World Destruction War, after the human commander Urian and the orc leader Blood Roar died together, the Flame War Lion shattered the void and turned into a guardian beast to protect the human world in the underworld. Fighting such a holy beast, let alone Jack, any human in the Isu world would probably not dare to think like this.

"You're following me this time!" Erin said loudly, "According to the records of the ancestors, as long as you are the heir of the Ureon family, you will have the opportunity to pass the Holy Beast Trial and be recognized by the Flame Battle Lion. With Miss Ben's world's best intelligence and beauty, and the courage and wisdom of the universe's invincible, you will definitely easily pass the trial, and let you follow just to serve Miss Ben well all the way! ”

"Alright, let's go!" Seeing that Jack's team was assembled, Erin turned a bright red ruby ring on her hand, and all kinds of flowers in the royal garden emitted different colors of light, and finally converged into a magic array made of a sea of flowers, and the colorful colors converged into a white light flashed, and Erin and Jack's team disappeared from the garden without a trace.

In a huge lonely space floating in the void, the places separated from the void by the top, bottom, left and right were all filled with flaming magma, and floating peaks or rubble of different sizes floated in the space. At the foot of the largest mountain in the center, a burst of white light flashed, and Erin and her group suddenly appeared here.

"This is the resting place of the Flame Lion after the canonization - the Flame Domain, the entire lava world here belongs to the Flame War Lion's domain, but it spends most of its time sleeping." Erin whispered to the team.

"Huh~lur~,huh~lur~"

From the end of the mountain peaks that loomed in the distant red clouds, there was really a faint sound of continuous snoring, confirming Irene's words.

"Battle formation, forward!" Erin drew a delicate red short bow, slung the quiver across her back, and directed the team towards the mountain. Along the way, there are various levels of fire elementals, as well as huge stone people. These little monsters gathered in twos and threes and blocked the way up the mountain.

Jack fends off the monsters at the front of the team, the priest and paladin take care of the team's health, and Princess Irene is protected in the middle of the group, shooting her gorgeous arrows leisurely.

The standard Iron Triangle formation advanced steadily, and the mobs along the way didn't cause any trouble for Erin and them.

But soon, the team was on its way up to the attention of the wildlife. In this fiery world, everything seems to be dyed red, the sky is red magma, the ground is red stones, the monsters are red elements, and the surrounding plants are also red streamers fluttering with the air current.

In the strange bushes that swayed like red kelp, there were a few red kittens with their heads shrunk from time to time, at first there were only one or two, and then as the team climbed up, more and more kittens appeared, and gradually there were groups of red kittens staring at Erin's team from afar with big curious eyes.

Jack also noticed the abnormal atmosphere around him. On the one hand, the team was arranged to pay attention to the flank defense, and on the other hand, the formation was compressed more closely. Looking back at Erin's confused eyes in the middle of the group, Jack knew that Erin didn't know what was going on with the red kittens.

Finally, after destroying batches of fire elementals and stone men, the team climbed to a platform halfway up the mountain, which was a rare area of relatively flat open space.

The team that wanted to rest here for a good time saw an army of red cats at the other end of the platform at the mountain pass that continued to climb upward.

Unlike the curious red kittens on the road, this army of red cats lined up in a neat formation, with a group of big cats the size of a small tiger forming a boxy phalanx, and rows of dexterous kittens with demonic bat wings flying in the air, while the two wings of the team were columns of fire elementals, and some pocket kittens were lying on the shoulders of these fire elements that were larger than the average fire elemental like a small red dot.

Both Erin and Jack were stunned by what they saw. Erin never thought she would be in such a situation. Soon, Erin noticed that behind the army of red cats, among the trees on the hillside, there was actually a hammock, and a round and chubby fat cat was lying in the hammock, with a big sunglasses, holding a cup, and a straw in his mouth, as if he was basking in the sun.

Well, there is no sun in this space, only the heat emitted by endless magma around it, and I really don't know where it got that drink from.

"That guy is probably the leader of this army!" Jack said.

"Capture the thief first, rush over and catch it!" Erin pulled the long skirt up to her waist and gave instructions to Jack.

"All staff, charge formation, target mountain pass, charge!"
