An orc shaman, an orc warrior, an elven ranger, a human knight, and a dwarven musketeer. Five people. Behind him fifty northern rangers, well, just a few people, began the long journey north to rescue the dwarves.

The dwarven king Komodo was now enslaved by orcs in the Ingres mines, and the dwarves enslaved with him could be thousands or even tens of thousands. Abdul-Jabbar has been informed of the exact route into the Ingres pit. It's just the source of all this information that makes Abdul-Jabbar feel a little annoyed.

After the victory in the siege of Chetsum, the human soldiers imprisoned the orcs in the city's underground prison, and tortured them in order to learn more information from the orcs, including the exact location of the dwarves held by Bloodroar.

But many orcs are reluctant to tell humans, or many orc soldiers don't know about it at all, and only the orc officers at the higher level know a little. In order to obtain specific information, the human inquisitor actually used rough and cruel means to cut off the orc officer's fingers one by one, and the last orc officer couldn't bear the great pain, and when he cut the fifth finger, he finally opened his mouth to tell the inquisitor the specific location where the dwarf miner was being held. And draw a detailed map with the other hand.

Abdul-Jabbar didn't know all this at the time, and it was too late to know it, the torture had already been carried out, and the orcs had already confessed. Sometimes Jabbar wonders whether he is right or wrong to help the humans of this world, and how often humans are as cruel and violent as these orcs. The soul distorted by war, in this regard, whether it is orcs or humans, is equally dangerous, the good and evil of human nature are constantly struggling and confrontation in war, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the abyss of darkness.

"Abdul-Jabbar, what are you thinking?"

Walking on the dirt path to the Ingres Mine, the knight Leo walked up to Jabbar and asked, seeing that his companion had been absent-minded for the past few days, Leo was still a little worried.

"Oh, nothing. ”

"Man, I see you've been distracted since you set off from Chessem, is it really nothing?"

On the trail in early autumn, Abdul-Jabbar's simple answer apparently didn't convince Leo.

"Leo, sometimes I wonder if I'm really as great as you think? Maybe I don't care who rules this world, if Bloodroar hadn't hunted me down, maybe I'd be in those orc armies right now, or maybe I'd just desert military service, hide in some corner of this world, and live my own petty bourgeois life, I think I should be that kind of person. ”

Seeing that the knight was not convinced, Abdul-Jabbar simply said what he thought in his heart, maybe he was an otaku, as long as he had to eat, drink and have fun every day, it was enough to have Rafael by his side, no matter who ruled the world, whether it was black or white.

"How to say it, Abdul-Jabbar, in fact, each of us has our own weaknesses, when you face a heavy responsibility that you have to bear, how many people will think of escaping, but some things can't escape, you are the last bloodline of the Snowfall clan, so the Bloodroar must hunt you down, the Snowfall King is your father, and it is also an unavoidable fact, and if you want to live, you have to fight with the Bloodroar, and the evil darkness of this world is infinitely fighting, until you defeat him, this is your fate, you can't escape, since you can't escape, why bother thinking about itIt's better not to think about anything and follow the path of fate. ”

Faced with Jabbar's confusion, Leo gave his own answer, and Jabbar guessed that this was also the code of the knight. But there are times, even if you know the truth, it's hard to do it, like now, Jabbar just wants to escape the war with Rafael, go to the moonlit glades, go to the hot springs to live a peaceful life, like a fairy. Looking back at Raphael, he was also depressed by this unforgiving reality.

"Look, there's Mount Tomana ahead. ”

While Abdul-Jabbar and Leo were discussing the philosophy of life, Eminem the Dwarf shouted excitedly. Looking in the direction pointed by Eminem, in that misty place, there is indeed a steep and magnificent mountain, dwarves are naturally sensitive to maps and terrain, so the pathfinding post of this mission has been held by Eminem, and so far, Eminem has indeed not pointed to a wrong place, all according to the coordinates on this orc map.

Two days later, the Tomana Mountains.

"Eminem, are you sure it's the way?"

After two days of entering Mount Tomana, Jabbar finally couldn't help but start asking the dwarven guide, because Eminem was leading them to a tunnel, which looked like a cave, and the cave was very large and high, and it was full of all kinds of dried bones, like a burial place in a zombie movie, how could such a place not look like a correct path.

"But that's what the map looks like. ”

In the face of Abdul-Jabbar's question, Eminem looks innocent, and Abdul-Jabbar suspects that this product likes to sell cute when he is overwhelmed. As soon as Eminem sells cuteness, everyone can't do anything about him.

"Could it be that this map is fake?"

Baladin leaned over and looked at the map in Eminem's hand with a suspicious look, the orcs were sometimes cunning, and it was also possible that the orc officer who had been tortured to death by the human soldiers had drawn a fake map to fool Chesem's inquisitor.

"It's a possibility. ”

Leo added.

"I don't think so, there are iris growing here, unlike other plants, iris can only grow in a dry environment, too much water it is easy to die, so this passage must be ventilated, that is to say, the other end of the tunnel is to the outside. ”

Just when Jabbar and Paladin were doubting the authenticity of the orc map, Raphael duly informed everyone of her discovery. I have to admit that the dwarves have a set of research on soil and research maps, but elves have more experience in surviving in the wild. With a team of experts in various fields, Abdul-Jabbar suddenly felt that this scattered team was stronger than any other team.

"Wait, what's the sound?"

Just as everyone was happy to walk the right way again, suddenly a terrible howl sounded at the end of the cave. Although the sound was not loud, and it seemed to come from far away, everyone was sure that the sound was definitely not the howl of an ordinary beast. The voice is very rich, full and powerful. Thicker than the roars of black bears and lions.

What the hell is this?

The conjecture of the monster at the end of the cave suddenly filled the entire rescue team with fear, and then looked at the bones of various animals on the ground that had been dried, and a sense of foreboding arose.

"Is it a one-eyed beast again? I've heard that wild one-eyed beasts like to live in caves, and this cave is so high that it's probably the one-eyed beast's dwelling?"

Only to hear the monster's voice getting closer and closer, Jabbar began to be suspicious. And the members of the expedition rescue team behind him are also tense, waiting for the monster to come out of the cave in the next moment, no matter what it is, I believe that the rescue team of fifty-five people can still deal with it.
