Volume 5 The Return of the King 272 Life or Death

Who do soldiers listen to on the battlefield?

Of course, it is an order, it is a mission, it is discipline. But when the soldier begins to be driven by the survival instinct and leaves the command discipline behind, there is probably a serious rout.

Although there are also cases where the last person is exhausted, there is a high probability that there is no way to escape because of the surroundment, and the situation of fighting to the last person because of a strong will to fight is a small probability, after all, there are not so many armies with an ideological realm beyond ordinary people.

At this time, their army under Danas collapsed, although they did not flee with the orcs, but the team had been torn apart by the steel torrent of the orcs, and the defensive line that had been cut into two sections could not function at this time.

And the orcs are not in love with war at all, they want to rush over and go to the world on the other side of the portal, instead of wasting time here to continue to fight with humans.

Danas's army was slightly more disciplined, but their attacks were now completely at the end of their crossbows. At this moment, more than a dozen griffons flew down from the sky, and it can be said that some of them fell, and Danas did not know who it was, and he did not have time to see who it was.

At this moment, the portal twisted, and the loud tearing sound and indescribable noise made everyone lose the desire to fight in an instant, and the sky that turned white in an instant made them all close their eyes at once, and even put their heads in their arms and arched to the ground.

The light was so bright!

And when everyone got up from the ground after the light was over, it exploded all at once, because the portal disappeared at some point!

Danas said that when he saw that scene, he was stupid, and then everyone fell into a frenzied cry, the frenzy of the orcs frightened him, and the disbelief in his heart also made him feel extremely broken after it turned into despair.

At this time, the orcs went berserk, they should have been extremely manic after finding that the portal had disappeared, at this time, there was no reason at all, no language, no other thoughts, the orcs began to vent, and humans were the objects of their venting.

It wasn't flesh and blood anymore, Danas was cut to the ground, he lost consciousness, or Khadgar dug him out of the pile of dead.

When he woke up, it was like a nightmare, nothing more than a nightmare that would never end.

He said that the dark door where the portal had lost was full of corpses, and that it was rare to be able to leave a name for the dead, and that what they had to do was to keep the wounded soldiers from dying again. Family...... They couldn't go back, and when the orcs dispersed, the only ones left behind were their closest ones. And the funny thing is that they found a ...... in the pile of dead people Infant!

A ...... who was born less than two days ago Infant!

No one will ask who the child's parents are, in fact, there is no need to ask, the child's ears speak for themselves. But the child's parents are gone!

No one knows where they went, but one thing is for sure, the child's parents, his father Tulayan and mother Aurelia did not pass through the Dark Gate.

The scene was a mess, no, it can't be called a mess, it was completely a hellish scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and all the corpses were picked up and carefully searched over and over again, and after confirming again and again, the little couple still couldn't be found.

No one saw where they went, and perhaps those who saw them would never be able to speak. The only thing that can be recorded is that Aurelia gave birth to the baby on the way, and they rushed back on the griffin, and when they returned, they found that the place was in chaos, and the griffons that had been flying were exhausted, and Tulayan chose to land, but no one could tell what happened after landing.

Kurander is gone, as is the commander Tulayan and his elven wife, and now only Khadgar and Danas are left, along with more than a thousand wounded soldiers.

The two of them discussed it and decided that they could not stay here for too long, and after a brief repair, they gathered the soldiers who died in battle together and cremated them, and then they chose to evacuate. Although the world is collapsing, it would be foolish to stay in such a place and wait to die.

The land near the Dark Gate continues to break apart, and some of them have even floated into the air and become floating islands in the sky. The returning scout could not describe what he saw, Khadgar had to see it for himself, and then Danas was able to move and see it with his own eyes, saying that he felt that he had seen the universe, that he had seen the void, and that he was standing in the middle of the universe, at the junction of this world and the void, as if this world was no longer a world, but just a small piece of land floating in the void.

The sudden sense of desolation and helplessness caused both commanders to fall into a state of doubt, but this was only the beginning, they survived, but the following days were endless torment for them.

There is no hope, there is really no hope! There is no going back to home, and although the world does not tremble and crack and collapse violently as it did in those days, this chronic collapse and decomposition is constantly telling each of them that one day they will one day drift away like the land that has drifted into the universe, and then escape into the void.

This decadent mood spread among them, the original military discipline was completely nullified at this time, and some even chose to commit suicide, especially when they saw the land die as fast as they could, the trees withered, the grass withered, and after a few weeks, the eyes were already full of desolation.

Khadgar took the people who could still move to find food, and tried to find a place where there was water, a tree, and a place that had not withered and died, and slowly a month and two months passed, and the earth no longer trembled and seemed to have regained its calm, perhaps they had gone far enough to come to a quieter place. So here they began to build huts, set up camp, and lived like this without a goal.

But by chance they came across another magical race, a race that had been nearly wiped out by the orcs. It was precisely because of meeting them that this group of humans who were isolated in this other world suddenly changed their way of life.

At first, their encounter was not very pleasant, the race known as the Draenei was still very wary of humans, but the humans did not hunt them like the orcs, but chose to watch each other, and after a long period of contact, Khadgar learned their language, which opened up the interaction between the two races.

Of course, the fundamental reason why they can reach and are willing to reach is because of orcs. The orcs were their common enemy, and since they were a common enemy, they could be friends to some extent, and so they began to contact, then to help, and then to slowly develop a relationship.

The Draenei helped the humans, especially the several magicians led by Khadgar, who also helped them to a great extent, especially when Danas showed the art of the Holy Light, and the relationship between the Draenei and them quickly warmed up.

It turns out that the Draenei also believe in and use the Light!

In the world of the Draenei, it's not called Holy Light, although it's all a thing. In the Draenei this energy is created by something called Naru, in the Draenei beliefs, Naru is equivalent to the god of mankind, the god of mankind creates all things, creates light and creates miracles, and Naru also created everything in the Draenei world, including salvation.

Because of the largely identical beliefs, the Draenei were eventually willing to take them to their former royal capital, Shattrath, a city that had been completely destroyed into ruins. Here they are sheltered by the Draenei, who were almost wiped out by the orcs, but as a large population, there are still tens of thousands left.

In this way, the expeditionary force and the Draenei helped each other and supported each other for a long time, but the human soldiers and the Draenei women never bonded, and the only remaining women and female elves gave birth to their offspring in this city.

The collapse of this world has slowed down over the years, but Khadgar has been looking for a way back, he is sure that he will find a way to reopen the Dark Gate, he has traveled to the ruins of the Dark Gate countless times to find the rift in time and space, but after so many years, there is still no progress.

But one day, the city of Shattrath suddenly boiled, and all the Draenei here flocked to the city square, and in the dazzling holy light, something fell from the sky, and all the Draenei knelt down in front of that thing, this sight made their group of humans feel extremely surprised, although they don't know what happened, this situation still made the humans kneel down with it.

Khadgar was later introduced to the guy who had fallen from the sky, and Danas said that he didn't think of it as a creature when he saw it, and that it wasn't a creature in his eyes, but more like a ...... Ornament.

The Draenei were respectful, that deferential state was far beyond what he knew about the Draenei, he had never seen a Draenei like this, the huge, softly lit thing suspended in the air, the body was surrounded not by flesh and blood, but by some translucent irregular stone slabs like jade.

Those stone slabs were like wings but not wings, and if that huge thing stood there, as long as it didn't open its mouth, and as long as no one told what it was, no one would believe that it was alive, and that it was a sapient being!

They turned out to be the gods that the Draenei believed in, Naru.

Of course, the one who came was not called Naru, but Adar, a member of Naru, a race similar to the Protoss, although their arrival brought some benefits, but they also brought a disaster, a series of disasters.
