Chapter 052: Ambush
Mormore's arrival completely destroyed everything in Oakington, and Goodman and Aurelia walked through the ruins without saying a word, unable to calm their hearts for a long time.
However, perhaps because the impact of such a tragic scene was too great, neither of them took the lead in speaking. This oppressive silence made Goodman very awkward, but thankfully, as the two of them deepened, he found something else to divert attention.
Goodman suddenly stepped out of the shattered stone brick path, and the knight moved the collapsed building bricks away little by little, revealing the severely decomposed and deformed Draenei corpse below.
Goodman shook his head silently, opened the covenant, and prayed on his knees. A faint golden glow quickly surged in front of him, and as the soft holy light slowly poured into the corpse, a translucent phantom slowly floated out of it.
The ghost nodded gratefully to the knight, and with a melodious empty sigh, quickly vanished from the ruins.
However, before Goodman could feel peace of mind because of the overtaking of the dead, the appearance of the holy light, as if lighting a certain fuse in this dead land, an extremely penetrating low sound instantly surged from all directions, quickly flooding the entire Oakington.
Goodman's expression froze, and he immediately stood up on guard.
"What's going on?" Aurelia immediately came up behind him, asking sharply as she watched for a possible attack.
"I don't know. Sensing the turbulent and cold energy fluctuations in the air, Goodman's brows tightened together, "Oakington used to be the tomb of the Draenei, and it seems that there must be something down there that doesn't like what I do to the dead." ”
Soon, as the terrifying murmur became more and more piercing, the eyes of the two gathered on a half-collapsed gate not far ahead.
"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Aurelia silently grabbed Sarsdora, perhaps because of nervousness or something, she actually subconsciously asked a small human knight for advice.
"Nope. "Habit, so Goodman didn't feel anything wrong either, "Our mission is to track down the orcs, not to explore the ghosts here. ”
However, providence makes people......
Behind him, the sound of shouting and swords suddenly sounded, and Aurelia and Goodman immediately came back to their senses, and just as they were about to raise their feet and rush in the direction of the source of the sound, a huge shadow suddenly flew in the scream.
Bang!
The griffon, which had been tortured beyond recognition by the shadow energy, slammed into the wall, and the dilapidated building that had been tempered by the years naturally could not withstand such an impact, only to hear a roar, and the whole collapsed.
As for the griffons, which were completely buried under the rubble, they were long gone.
It's an orc!
Hearing the familiar and hateful battle cry, Aurelia turned grim and was about to rush to the battlefield not far away, but Goodman suddenly took a step ahead of her and dragged her into the shadows.
Almost at the same time, detachments of griffons in the distance took to the skies and quickly left the sky after a few hapless riders were struck down by orc bows and arrows and magic.
With the evacuation of the flight troops, the area quickly fell silent.
"What are you doing?" Aurelia tried to break free from the other's grasp, but because the latter's arms were stronger than she had imagined, she was powerless.
Goodman frowned, and after making a silent motion, he covered her mouth despite the ranger's struggles and silently retreated into the shadows.
"Hahaha! You idiots, such an obvious trap, actually took the initiative to send it to the door yourself. A raging laugh burst into the area, only to see a sturdy orc armed with a terrifying weapon slowly approaching the two's field of vision. The huge jagged bone knife and the extremely characteristic one-eyed proved his identity.
"Kilrog, you don't want to die!" Although he was covered in blood, the brute hammer dwarf who was resisted on the orc's shoulder still did not give up resistance, and kept beating and kicking the orc's body, "Let go of me, I will definitely smash your head!"
Kilrog smirked and threw the dwarf to the ground. But before the latter could get up, he suddenly bullied up and kicked him directly away.
The sheer force directly knocked Kudran into the wall. Kilrog pouted disdainfully, with full insult, and kept kicking the fainting dwarf with his toes: "Shorty, do you only talk about it?"
Wow.
An imperceptible grinding sound suddenly sounded, and Kilrog's brow tightened, and the sharp one-eyed quickly circled around.
"Did you hear anything?"
The orc guards who were waiting for the battle, you look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads one after another.
"Forget it. "As an illusion or a rat or something, Kilrog didn't care too much, he still had a lot to do," and when they get back to the news, the Coalition will soon launch a major attack here. Lock this dwarf up, with him, the alliance doesn't dare to do anything. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several orcs, five big and three thick, tied up the 'petite' Kudran and carried him like a chick into the door where he had been moaning.
When the orc's voice disappeared from this space for a long time, the two people in the shadows walked out one after the other.
"Why are you holding me back?" said Aurelia glaring at the knight viciously.
"Please, just the two of us, do you think this is a movie?" Goodman shook his head helplessly, "The enemy has hundreds of orcs, and Kudran's flying squadron was severely damaged almost in a single shot and had to be forced to evacuate." We're just going out, just two more captives. ”
"You don't have to worry about what I do. Although she knew that she was wrong, watching the orcs humiliate her friends deeply stimulated Aurelia's sanity.
Seeing that the other party rushed directly into the place where the orcs disappeared without saying a word, Goodman shook his head helplessly, but he still followed hard.
The power of the Momore severely damaged the internal structure of Oakington. Most of the original passages and corridors had collapsed and deformed, and with the tunnels that the orcs had temporarily dug not long ago, the entire underground structure was a mess.
It didn't take long for Aurelia and Goodman to get dizzy and disoriented as they navigated through the unruly underground passage.
Turning the corner, the Ranger suddenly stopped. Looking at the mark on the wall not long ago, she clenched her teeth and trembled with anger.
No wonder Kilrog is so confident, with such a complex terrain, even if the Son of Lothar sends out an army, it will be difficult to find Kudran's location in a short time. Coupled with their familiarity with this place, they can definitely easily hold back the alliance if they are casually blocked.
In such a narrow terrain, the Sons of Lothar could not give full play to their numerical superiority, and it was difficult to break through the resistance of those hundreds of orcs in a short period of time.
Moreover......
"It's filled with a strong aura of necromancy and shadow magic, and perception spells can't spread out normally. These orcs really chose a good place. Seeing Aurelia looking at him, Goodman shook his head helplessly.
Hearing that the other party actually had the leisure to praise the enemy, Aurelia was suddenly angry: "Don't talk about cool words, think of a way." ”
What's more, Goodman's premise is a road idiot, let him find a way, I'm afraid he will have to walk to the cursed land again.
"You're embarrassing me. The bitterness on Goodman's face became more and more intense, "I can't even tell the difference between the east and the west." ”
"How long are you going to hide it?" Aurelia's eyelids fluttered, and it was not difficult to see that she was about to be able to repair this guy.
"Okay, okay, you're the boss, I admit it. Seeing that the ranger's eyes were already red in a hurry, Goodman's heart softened, and he couldn't help but subconsciously let go.
After speaking, the knight's eyes immediately searched around for something, and soon he came to the corner, squatted down and picked up one, feather?
The pitch-black feathers all over the body look withered and messy, without the smoothness and luster of long-term exposure to sunlight and breeze. Of course, Goodman is well aware of why.
I saw that the knight suddenly raised his hand and waved, and a dark magic power suddenly surged from him, and a moment later, in Aurelia's obviously panicked gaze, he actually disappeared directly into the narrow passage.
