Chapter Twenty-Six: The Grey Tongue Oath

"Well, the analysis is reasonable. Illidan nodded and said, "Kael'thas listens!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Deploy the fortress at the entrance to the Teroka Forest to ensure that the defense effect you said will be achieved, and the rest of the team will follow me on the Hellfire Peninsula and destroy the portal located on the Peninsula. ”

"Crusade?" Kael'thas was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's better to be aggressive than to be defensive. Illidan said, "Ms. Fasqi!"

"The subordinates are here!" replied Fasqi.

"Choose a Naga elite to cooperate with the defense of the entrance to the Teroka Forest to ensure that the defense is impregnable. In addition, the construction of the underwater shrine continued. ”

"Yes!" said Fasqi, but immediately, as if she understood something, said, "Your Excellency, aren't you going to take me with you to fight the orcs?"

"Faski, underwater base construction is very important, and the climate of the Hellfire Peninsula is not suitable for your Nagar. Illidan said.

"No, my lord, this crusade is extremely risky, and taking me there will increase the odds of victory, as long as I have two of my henchmen here. ”

"If you insist on it, ma'am, then I agree. Illidan said.

"Ma'am, think about it, the hot wind of the peninsula will dry your scales. Kael'thas persuaded.

"In order to follow Lord Illidan in his quest to conquer the world, we Naga must adapt to all kinds of climates, Kyle, I have made up my mind, and I don't need to be persuaded anymore. Fasqi said.

She said to the two Naga chieftains, "Naintus and Calasares, after I leave, you must supervise the construction of the base and arrange for troops to assist in the defense of the Teroka Fortress. ”

"Lord Fasqi, I can handle the construction of the base, and I think it may be much safer to let the Naintus Overseer organize the defense of the fortress. Caraserres said.

"Well, that makes sense, Overseer Naintus, it's okay for you to cooperate with the Blood Elves to garrison the fortress, right?" Fasqi said.

"Of course not, it will live up to expectations. Naintus said, glaring at Karaseres secretly.

Ignoring Karaseres, he sank to the bottom with his Nagadians.

On the Hellfire Peninsula, red sand and dust flew under the strong wind, and in a wasteland full of thorns, a strange insect more than one meter tall was frightened and hid in the thorn forest.

A grand contingent stepped into the land.

Illidan looked at the ruined city wall in the distance and said to himself, "Kargas, I'm back, and this time I must make you surrender to my feet." ”

"Lord Illidan, we should not continue to sneak from the avenue, otherwise we may encounter with the main force of the orcs and expose their whereabouts, it is best to find a dangerous terrain to set up camp first, and we can attack and retreat and defend. Kael'thas said.

"That's what I mean, and I'm ordering the team to move down the thorn forest and choose the right terrain for the base. "Remember to keep a low profile from now on, and don't expose your whereabouts to the enemy too soon." ”

Elves are naturally agile races, and fighting in the shadows is in line with their style, and the snake-like body of Naga moves silently, which also gives an advantage to marching in the shadows.

Soon, they arrived at a place full of strange rocks.

"Stop!" Fasqi suddenly ordered.

"What's wrong? Illidan asked.

"There was a smell of smoke, there was a fire somewhere ahead, maybe there was a garrison. ”

Kael'thas ordered the elven scouts to investigate.

Sure enough, there was a thousand-strong orc force ahead.

Illidan decisively ordered the army to surround the troops, and then make a surprise attack, not letting one escape.

Despite the valor and skill of the orc warriors, they were caught off guard by the assault, and the Illidan coalition was quickly wiped out with many times their strength.

Looking at the terrain here, Illidan thought that it was just the right place to build a fortress.

At this time, a scout arrived, "Lord Illidan, we have found a cage containing monsters in the orc camp. ”

"Monsters?" said Illidan, curious, "take me to see it." ”

"What kind of creature is that? Is it a demon?" the soldiers stood neatly around, their eyes fixed on the cage, discussing the monster in the cage.

The monster's blue skin, the size of a dwarf, with an elder's fleshy tentacles on his chin, his eyes wide, his face full of horror, and his whole body trembled.

Illidan walked over with Kael'thas and Fasqi.

The guy shivered even more at the sight of Illidan, sweat running down his forehead.

"What the hell is this creature?" Illidan crouched down and scrutinized.

"Maybe it's a demon, or kill him, don't make a fork. Fasqi said.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm ...... Not a demon!" said the monster in the cage trembling.

"Wait!" said Kael'thas, "Lord Illidan, since the orcs have locked him up here, it means that he is not with the orcs, and there may be more than one such monster, and we are new to this place, so it is better to have one more enemy than one less, so we might as well let him go." “

"No, Kyle, if we let him go, we'll be in ruins. Fasqi said.

"If it's an enemy, we'll find out if we ask him. Illidan stood up and said to them, "Don't be prejudiced against a strange race, or the three of us will never come together."

"Once upon a time, like my foolish kind, I thought I was the best race, and disdained the others, until I met him, Aesinos, and from that time on I was no longer prejudiced against the other races, nor was I judged others by appearance. ”

After saying that, he crouched down again and said to the monster in the cage, "We have no hostility, and the orcs are also our enemies, can you tell me about you?"

The monster in the cage shuddered and said, "You...... You are evil...... Demons?"

"No, on the contrary, the demon is my enemy, and although I look a little like it, I am not a demon. Illidan said.

"That'...... You won't eat me, will you? ”

Looking at you has no appetite, Illidan thought, and he said, "Of course not, we never eat people." ”

"That's great, then you're going to let me go?"

"We'll let you go as long as you don't do anything harmful to us, but you must prove that you are not an accomplice of orcs and demons. ”

"Of course I can't be an accomplice of orcs and demons, my name is Calch, I'm a Breaker, we are a mutated race of the Draenor natives, the Dralanes, belonging to the Greytongue Death Oath Clan, after the demons destroyed our homeland, we have fought against demons for generations, and survived in the cracks. On that day, I went to investigate, but unfortunately I was caught by the orcs until you arrived. ”
