Chapter 871: Going Behind Enemy Lines, A Moment of Horror
Sarjan and Stellagossa were surprised by the big news they overheard, and Nefarian's change in expression made their hearts move.
They looked at each other silently, and as Nefarian waved back Baltos and got up to leave, the two hurriedly slowed down and quietly followed.
After all, it was in his own lair, and Nefarian didn't walk fast on his way to the location of the illusion.
In order to avoid being caught following too closely, Sarjan and Stellagossa could only hold back their inner anxiety and follow Nefarian's rhythm slowly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two used the soul link to communicate.
Stella Gossa: "If the black dragon named Baltos wasn't deliberately setting off smoke bombs, then Deathwing's return would be at least 3-5 years away?" ”
Sarean was not surprised.
Having watched Azadas smelt essentia ore with his own eyes, he was well aware of the difficulty of smelting this ore.
Even if it's just a poor version of a copycat essentia bar without Aokin, it's not easy to smelt armor that can cover Deathwing's entire body.
In addition, after smelting and forging, the goblin craftsmen had to attach them to the huge Deathwing piece by piece, which was destined to be a long and time-consuming project.
Before hearing the Black Dragon's confession, Salaen was a little worried that Deathwing would return earlier than he broke the rules, but now he can finally rest assured.
However, finding out when Deathwing is back is just one of the tasks that Salain has given to Valera and Onexia.
Another task is to find out what Nefarian, who is hiding behind the scenes and promoting the Molten Heart War, wants to make a name for himself.
That's right, push.
At first, Sarren didn't notice that when the coalition forces defeated the Flame Lord of the Molten Heart and completely drove the power of the Fire Demon King out of Azeroth, the Blackstone Orcs also chose to withdraw their troops.
In Dagran's opinion, this is because the Blackstone Orcs have sensed that the Black Iron Dwarves have just won a battle, and they don't want to continue to consume with the Black Iron Dwarves with high morale at this time.
But in Sarren's view, it means something else.
Why did the Blackstone Orcs, who had not yet revealed their unequivocal defeat, suddenly retreat?
Answer: Eucalyptus is actually very simple, this is a black dragon...... Or rather, Nefarian's instructions.
Thinking about it from another angle, Sarjan discovered the cattiness of the Blackstone Orcs in this invasion.
At first, the sudden invasion of the Blackstone Orcs startled Dagran, but in fact, this invasion actually helped Dagran who had the intention of secretly causing trouble, and attracted the attention of those Black Iron Councilors who were loyal to the fire element and hated the power of the Black Dragon.
Through the aftermath review, it can be clearly seen that the attack of the Blackstone Orcs is very weak, and it seems that they have no intention of achieving any results at all.
After the Black Iron Dwarves overthrew the enslavement of the fire elemental, the Black Stone Orcs chose to withdraw their troops just right.
Salaen ventured to guess that Nefarian had done it on purpose, in order to allow the Dagrans to concentrate on expelling the fire elementals from Azeroth.
As for what his purpose was, Sarean was not sure for the time being due to the lack of evidence.
Perhaps tired of entangling with the fire elemental in the Blackstone Tower, he took advantage of the ambition of the new Black Iron King, Dagran Thorisson, to give him some support without a trace, and sent the annoying fire elemental away once and for all.
Of course, it could also be a rebellion within the Enzos faction, with Deathwing himself behind the decision, and Nefarian being just the executor.
Onexia didn't agree with either of these possibilities, but instead of speculating on her own guesses, she planned to sneak into the Blackwing's lair and investigate it before coming to an accurate conclusion.
As they walked slowly behind Nefarian, both Sarean and Stellagosa felt a tingling in their scalps.
There are not many adult black dragons in Blackwing's Lair, at least for the time being, counting Baltos and Nefarian himself, they have only seen a mere six.
However, there are at least hundreds of young dragons in this black dragon lair converted from the Black Stone Tower, as well as a larger number of drakes and dragonmen.
And that's not even counting Nefarian's half-finished test subjects, such as the colorful two-headed dragon Chlomagus, whom the barrage repeatedly mentions.
Due to the lazy use of the lava dog model in the game, Chlomagus is nicknamed the two-headed dog by the barrage.
But in fact, this guy is a stitching monster pieced together from the corpses of the five-colored dragon clan, and he is still a dragon creature.
If he can gather an entire elite army to attack the lair of the Black Wing, Salian is confident that he will be able to break through the lair of the black dragon if someone stops Nefarian and the few adult black dragons.
However, this premise is not so easy to achieve.
The weakened Sunderland and Onexia teamed up, and it wasn't much of a problem to hold Nefarian back.
But the other 5 ...... Maybe even more adult black dragons?
No matter how much you paddle and grow, the adult black dragon is always a demigod goalkeeper, and it is not something that mortals can easily hurt.
It was with this in mind that Saljan did not leave behind Quel'Thalas's elite army, and he did not intend to clash with Nefarian head-on at this time.
Even if you really want to fight, you have to wait until Abi Xian completes her preparations, and then follow the establishment of the black dragons to go on the expedition together.
Following Nefarian around the respectful dragonmen, drakes, and young dragons, Sarren and Stellagosa made their way to a badly damaged inner hall, where the corpses of drakes were still lying below.
"Hmmm......"
Nefarian rested his chin in one hand with interest, and the erect dragon boy scanned the hall.
"Didn't leave any traces? Interesting, it seems that I underestimated you, so...... Where will you hide in such a short period of time? ”
"Winter!"
Nefarian tapped the ground with the gorgeous fiery red staff in his hand, and a round of dark red ripples quickly spread outward around him.
"Not good!"
Stella Gosa's face suddenly changed, and she reminded in the soul link channel at a very fast speed: "This is a detection spell specifically for stealth and stealth, immediately find a blind spot to hide!" I'm going to disarm invisibility! ”
Saljan didn't have time to think, almost instinctively looking up and around as Stellagosa had instructed.
Fortunately, there is a dead corner not far away that is surrounded by walls on three sides.
Before Nefarian's probe ripples arrived, Sarren transformed into a panther form with soft pads as fast as he could, grabbed Stellagosa's back collar, and rushed into the corner with an arrow.
The moment before the ripples swept over the two of them, Stellagossa immediately disarmed the invisibility spell, and finally did not trigger the alarm setting for the detection spell.
Coincidentally, because they were already close enough, Valera and Onexia, who were hiding not far away, also heard the urgent prompt of Little Star in the Soul Link channel.
The two of them did the same, hiding in a corner that was just enough to block Nefarian's vision, and disengaged from stealth and shadow possession.
"Huh?"
The spell scan was over, and Nefarian, who had found nothing, opened his eyes with a look of confusion on his face.
"Did you escape? Lucky for you. ”
Lifting his crimson staff again, Nefarian turned and strolled away without hesitation, as if the invasion were just a painless farce to him.
Nervously watching Nefarian's back fade away, he watched him transform into a dragon form and fly into the sky, and the four people who remained in two different positions in the hall breathed a sigh of relief in the soul link channel at the same time.
"Whew~"
Listening to the four overlapping exhales, Sarian was a little speechless and asked in the Soul Link channel, "So, Valera and Oni, where are you hiding?" ”
"This way~"
As Saljan poked his head out of the corner, he saw a small piece of dark gray cloth thrown from a corner not far from him, followed by Valeera's angry shouts of shame in the Soul Link channel.
"Why tear my lining! Can't you do it yourself?! ”
Onexia replied with a wicked smile that was not ashamed: "Of course not, this armor on my body is essentially a change of my scales, you can't let me tear my scales, right?" ”
"You ......"
Valera was a little annoyed, but Onexia's words did make sense, and she could only sulk unhappily.
"When you go back, you're going to compensate me for a piece of clothing!"
"Oops~ small problem."
Onexia smiled and hugged Valeera's shoulders and comforted, "I'll accompany you to the shopping street for a day, but it's ......"
Onexia, who was still smiling a second ago, suddenly became serious: "Before that, we have to complete this reconnaissance mission to find out Nefarian's true purpose." ”
