Volume III Kuroshio 106 Dead Silence Tol Balad

I said this place is cursed, do you believe it?

After the war, I heard a veteran tell me the story of this place, and he said that very few people from their mainland went there to do business, and they all came here to do business, and they rarely went to that island unless there were special circumstances, although it was not very far.

He said the place is cloudy or rainy most of the year. There is a lot of thunder, but most of it is muffled. There are only a handful of sunny days, and there is no summer here, only cold or even colder.

I asked him if the place was not very far from the Arathi Heights, and that it was at sea, and Riptide City was right by the sea, and that the climate there was not going to be like this.

He told me that the first inhabitants of this place were sent here by Emperor Soladin more than 2,000 years ago, and that it was a place of haze, bitter cold, like a prison far from the mainland.

The old man said that the whole island was a prison. Most of the people here are the descendants of the most heinous people, and although the people are fierce, they are not accepted by the people in China. Moreover, it often rains here, thunder is constant, the environment is poor, and there is almost no place to park boats around, so mainlanders rarely go there to do business. And a special group was formed there, which was the pirates.

We haven't seen pirates, but we've seen a lot of dead bodies on the island. The culture of the people here is very gloomy, and in addition to the corpses left behind by the orcs, the signs made of the corpses of those people are often seen on the reefs on the beach.

Our fleet struggled to find a place to land, and then unloaded them at some small beach where people could stand. There is no map here, so we have to explore it now. There is also a landing site in the northwest of the island, which is a leeward fjord, and in that fjord there is a dock! That's where Reggie and Lothar landed.

We landed in the bay of the shipwreck, and the orcs had already learned of our arrival, so the first ship was attacked by the orcs shortly after landing, but the orcs did not do much damage.

We were the second group to land, and after we landed, the orcs withdrew very consciously. But we didn't completely occupy the beach just because the orcs had withdrawn, and there was a hill to the southwest of the beach with a castle on the hill. This castle is an obstacle that we cannot bypass if we want to attack the island.

The castle was the gateway to the island, built to protect it, and it was the longest battle we've ever fought in the Battle for the Island.

Because there is no map of this island, it is all up to exploration, but this island is not the size of Stormwind, but it is actually very large! After encamping outside the castle, he sent a number of scouts to find possible maps and detect the enemy here.

It took us a day to land one after another! Do you know what this concept is?

If there are enough defenders on this island, I mean the gap with us is not too much, and I don't think the chances of this island being able to take it in the end are not high.

We landed on the North Island, which is connected by a bridge to the South Island, and the South Island is the real base camp.

Both islands are mountainous and have few plains, and small villages or aboriginal logging grounds can often be found in the mountain basins.

We landed on the island with great difficulty, but a real decent battle did not break out, which was much to our surprise.

When the landing was almost complete, Lothar and his men quickly occupied the plateau in the northwestern part of the island, and then joined us and surrounded the fortress.

And Commander Dalin, who had been looking for a long time in the South Island and had not found a landing site, finally landed on a small beach in the southeast of the North Island. Interestingly, there is a fortress above the beach except for the cliffs, which means that it is absolutely impossible for the small beach orcs to land from there if they really want to garrison, not to mention that they must also walk through a narrow canyon to enter the island from that small beach. However, they dared to land so boldly, and it was only after the griffon knights reconnoitred that they were so relieved and bold to unload the people there.

After the siege was completed on our side, I began to patrol the island with a group of people. Such a terrible island is also the end of the orc scourge. Along the way, there were only dead bodies, damaged vehicles and clothes thrown on the ground.

Khadgar said it felt awkward from the moment he set foot on the land, and after we crossed a drawbridge to another piece of land, Khadgar said that there was a magical disturbance here.

I don't understand. He explained that there had been a large-scale magical event on the land where he was now standing. I didn't seem to understand, but he was interested.

Sure enough, in a sparse wood, we saw blackened earth, charred and curled corpses, and withered plants. Not far from this place is a village with similar décor to the beach. It originally had the air of death and decadence, and after being plundered by the orcs, this place was completely dead.

There is also a magic circle on the field in the center of the village, where the runes on the ground can no longer be seen clearly, but there are still various sacrificial items on the ground.

Khadgar waved his hand at us all to stop, and he mysteriously and carefully walked around here, I felt that he was playing tricks on the mystery, but he pulled down the pile of heads in the middle of the circle with a staff, and then carefully picked up an orc's head in the pile of heads, which emitted a faint green light.

Khadgar said it was the same energy that was found in Medivan's room back then. At this moment, the horses under my crotch suddenly became agitated, and all the horses began to become restless.

Khadgar was attracted by the sound of the horse's barking, and he suddenly yelled that it was not good to run quickly! I looked at him sharply, but was startled by the figure coming out of the house in the distance.

A dozen of our horses began to get extremely restless, and I tried to calm them down by tugging on the reins, but the horses were a little disobedient. Khadgar flipped on his horse and screamed, and the staff in his hand erupted in a blinding light. Instantly, I noticed that there were black shadows standing next to our horses.

This scared me enough, and I pulled the axe out at once. I thought I was wrong, but Caddgar shouted run! I can't care so much, I don't know what's going on, and I don't know what happened, so I just run hard.

But the wails wafting from the wind in my ears, the heart-rending wails. I turned my head to look at my companions behind me, and the horrified expressions on their faces told me that the voice was not fake!

You can't call it a panic, anyway, I ran in one breath and suddenly felt the sound in my ears disappear, so I slowly relaxed and saw that no one was missing, and then I asked Khadgar what happened.

He said he had accidentally opened the orc's seal. I asked him what the seal was, and he said it was the ghosts. I said what the orcs were doing with those things, and Khadgar said that if we didn't have horses, we might have joined the ranks of the ghosts.

So vicious? I asked him in surprise. So why isn't such a powerful circle used on the battlefield? Khadgar says the place is not normal.

We walked along the avenue until we found another bridge again. The sky was overcast, and we had no sense of direction here, and when I said that my compass had lost its bearing, Khadgar told me that I knew how abnormal this place was.

We stood by the bridge for a moment before we saw the orcs on the other side of the bridge, and they saw us. After a moment of confrontation, we chose to leave, until we continued along the gloomy avenue and met the Kurtilas.

The Kurtilas were hesitant to join Lothar, but when they heard what we had reported, they immediately turned around and hurried to the bridge.

Also relying on the eyes of the sky, this group of guys is now getting bolder and bolder and rushed directly from the bridge. I was worried about the orcs setting up an ambush, but when we got to our feet, we realized that there wasn't a single orc around.

Leaving a few hundred men to guard the bridge, we continued to touch forward, and villages appeared on both sides of the road from time to time, and the number of villages here seemed to be much greater than on the island we had just visited, but there was not a single figure here, and the village was dead silent for I don't know how long it had been burned.

I also think there's something wrong with this place, but I can't say anything wrong. Until I suddenly realized that there were no birds in this place! There are no birds!

I thought it might be a coincidence, but the more I went on, the more I realized that my guess was right. Until we came to a lake. It stands to reason that there must be some animals and other things near the lake, and birds are fine! But no.

I told Khadgar about my discovery, and Khadgar said be careful, he really didn't know that there was such a strong magic sense in this world. He pointed to some trees on the shore and said that they had been struck by falling lightning. He said he found that the more he walked, the more such trees he had.

I asked him how it was done, and he said it was magic, like a dwarf throwing a hammer.

The scout returned, and he said that he had found a huge castle and found some orc infantry.

When the time came for battle, I panicked when we saw a lonely fortress standing on the only land that looked like a plain.

Under what circumstances can a fortress be built in such a place by a certain person and with a kind of thinking?

The surrounding forest is sparse, sparse like some man's beard. The dwarves came back to report that the number of orcs in the fortress did not seem to be large.

Commander Dai Lin, who heard the news, immediately blew the horn of the march.

The dwarf just said that it doesn't seem to be much, and it must not be too much, isn't it a bit hasty to attack like this?

But we are not the commanders, and we are not in charge of the advance and retreat of this soldier. Of course something went wrong, but we don't take that responsibility!
