The Knights of the Darkblade's development of the Oakington Necropolis has not always been smooth.

The last time the Dark Door was closed, Tyrion had received news of an attack on Oakington, and that the attackers were inside Oakington.

One of the four large catacombs in the ruins, the hidden enemy of the Hall of Setek, who inhabited it long before the Knights of the Darkblade arrived, is the Raven Ones... Exiles of the Raven People, to be exact.

The Raven Man is a native species of the world of Draenor, in ancient times, the Raven Man created an ancient and glorious civilization in this world, and it is said that the sky of Draenor is the territory of the ancient empire of the Ravenor.

However, as with most stories, the ancestors were brilliant and the descendants were incompetent, and in the continuous infighting, the Raven civilization also fell into a serious decline, especially 1200 years ago, when the Raven Episis civilization went to war with some mysterious monster spreading across the land of Draenor, and the Raven barely won that war, but the ensuing ethnic infighting and the Great Purge forced them to use devastating power against their fellow citizens.

With a powerful force sweeping across the entire Aranka Peak Forest, the land that gave birth to the Raven civilization was completely shattered, and the battle killed one-third of the Raven people, and also completely broke the backbone of the Raven civilization.

The mystical knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation by the orcs does not give much insight into the past of these children of the sky, and perhaps even the Raven people themselves have lost the glorious heritage of their ancient civilization, and can only hide in the wreckage of the Alanka Peak Forest shrouded in haze and obscurity, with a hateful and ignorant gaze, hostile to any creature that tries to enter here.

As for the Raven Men who attacked Oakington, they were the Raven Exiles, their bodies twisted and degraded, like evil monsters walking the earth, disgusting, but that's another story.

"Whew"

The Necrosaurus Deathknell flapped its ominous wings and landed on the battlefield northeast of the boulderous Allanca Peaks, the black Broken Blade banner of the Knights of the Darkblade fluttered on the hillside, and Tyrion looked up to see many Raven people descending from the sky and attacking the Death Knights' camp.

They were strange creatures, they had human-like bodies, but their bodies were covered in brightly colored feathers, their feet were sharp claws like bird claws, and their arms were four fingers apart, and they held sharp wing blades in their hands, but unlike humans, they also had wing-like wings on either side of their arms, and bird-like tail feathers behind them.

Their heads are the most peculiar, completely anthropomorphic bird heads, with sharp beaks, feathers that float behind their heads like feathers, and a pair of flexible eyes, and most importantly, they are all wearing armor... Light armor engraved with sunburst patterns, which, judging by the captured armor, was made of special metal.

This shows that after experiencing the slaughter of the orcs, these crows hiding in their homeland still retain a certain manufacturing capacity.

"Death knell! Go help! ”

Tyrion's hand commanded, and the whistling frost formed an ice blade in his hand, and he patted the head of the necromantic dragon behind him, and whispered to it:

"The dark door has been opened, and soon, soon your queen will be free... Go ahead and drive those pesky birds out of the sky! ”

"As you wish..."

A low, hollow voice rang out in Tyrion's heart, and the next moment, the necromantic dragon covered in dark red bones flapped its wings and rushed into the sky, and the moment it appeared on the battlefield, all the ravens screamed in panic.

This is what Tyrion really hated about the Raven Ones, their screams were completely out of match their gorgeous appearance, they were like screams coming from hell, unpleasant, harsh, and unusually noisy, and even a being like the Death Knight who barely cared about the outside world could bear the screams.

Although Deathstroke is only a lone dragon, the oppression it brings is definitely greater than that of the flightless death knights on the ground, the original still menacing crows are like birds that have been brought to their nests at this moment, flapping their wings and flying around, several of them were bitten by Death Knell in a panic, the uneven teeth shattered their bodies like razors, accompanied by blood and feathers flying in the air, this cruel behavior made the crowmen flee faster.

"Shoot these goddamn idiots!"

A coquettish shout sounded in the position below, and the next moment, the tireless death knights who were harassed by the crows immediately began to fight back, the dark rangers pulled out their war bows, and the sharp bone arrows roared into the sky, the flight of the crows in the air was quite flexible, generally speaking, such bone arrows were difficult to shoot at them, but at this time it was different, under the pressure of the necromantic dragon, the activity space of the crows was reduced a little bit.

As bone arrows rained down into the sky, the crows smashed from the sky to the ground like falling stones, while the crows who flew low were caught by the Death Knight with the Death Grip, and were quickly stabbed in the struggle.

The harassment battle ended five minutes after the Necrosaurus joined, and finally a dozen raven men flew out screams of terror and flew into the dark forest in the distance with their wings flapping, not even daring to turn their heads back.

"Clean up the battlefield! Those who are still alive are made up for it! Return the body to Oakington! ”

Irel put down the bow and arrows in her hand, in the battle just now, she shot three arrows, but all of them missed, she is really not good at this kind of long-range attack weapon, after all, she was a priest in her life, not a hunter.

"Looks like you're really going to have to learn how to shoot well."

Tyrion's voice sounded behind Tyriel, which made Irel very embarrassed, when facing Tyrion, she always became very nervous, probably because of the relationship between the two of them with the same source of death spiritual power, seeing Tyrion coming over, Irel stood up straight, and her face became serious, but the tail that kept flicking behind her represented her inner embarrassment.

"Mr. Tyrion, how did you get here?"

Irel glanced cautiously at Tyrion and asked in a low voice:

"Are you dissatisfied with my job?"

"It's not satisfying or dissatisfied, these crows hiding in the forests of Alanka Peak are like rats, they can't be killed."

Tyrion looked at the richly dressed corpse at his feet, the leader of the attack, his robes were noticeably more ornate than the others, and he was not holding a scimitar that the ravens were best at, but a staff of twisted claws.

Tyrion's hand waved, and the golden pendant on the Raven Man's chest was grasped by the Death Grip into his palm, and the Death Knight looked at the runes of unknown meaning on the pendant, and he whispered:

"This guy looks like a big man from the Raven Man?"

"This should be their High Priest."

Irel replied:

"When I was still alive, I heard from the old priests in Karabo that the Raven People of Tongtian Peak called themselves the High Raven Men, they were a system ruled by priests, they longed for the sky and hated the earth, and the twisted Raven people who walked on the earth were exiles."

"The same exiles who have been trying to attack us!"

Iriel frowned, a hint of disgust flashed in her dark red eyes, "They were supposed to be absolutely hostile, but as soon as we enter the Aranka Peak Forest, we will be attacked by both sides at the same time, it's really annoying!" ”

"The only thing that unites the enemy is a stronger enemy... It shows that they're afraid of us, and that's good. ”

Tyrion tossed the gold pendant back onto the Raven Priestess, and he looked back at Iriel, holding out his fingers to wipe the blood off his face as the Death Knight wiped the blood from his face, an action that stiffened Iriel's nervous body.

Tyrion may not have thought it was a big deal, but as a rare high-ranking death knight who still retains all his emotions after death, Iriel's mind was thinking about many, many strange things until she was awakened by Tyrion's voice.

"Iriel? Iriel! ”

"Huh? I'm here! ”

Iril replied hastily, the panicked look that made Tyrion frown, but he didn't say anything more.

"From now on, I will take over the command of the war in the Alanka Peak Forest, and you, as my deputy, will report on your recent results."

"Yes!"

Irel reassured, stood behind Tyrion, and replied in a low voice:

"This time I took the First Legion into the Alanka Peak Forest, originally intending to wipe out the Raven forces here in one fell swoop, we have occupied the Terok Valley, 4 days ago, we found the lair of the Fallen Raven there and killed 300 Fallen Raven Humans!"

"Three days ago, we burned down the ruins of Zeke's Crow's Nest, and according to the scouts' report, this alarmed all the fallen ravens in Alanca, who are converging towards Ankaraz, numbering more than 15,000 people, and they seem to be planning to fight us to the death in this way!"

"And yesterday, the vanguard army has opened the way to Stix and Tongtian Peak under the obstruction of the high-ranking crows."

"The former is the stronghold of the fallen raven, and the latter is the stronghold of the high-level crows, although the high-level crowmen have not attacked Oakington, but allowing them to operate here is also a great threat to the Oakington Necropolis, so I decided to eradicate them completely! That's my plan for now! ”

The tail behind Iriel stopped wagging to indicate that she had truly entered the state of a death knight, becoming cold and ruthless, and a series of slaughter and incineration rewards came out of her mouth, making the temperament of this slender and good-looking draenei death knight also become solemn.

"Well, that sounds like a good fit."

Tyrion nodded, "Is there enough manpower?" Do you need to bring in another batch of infantry from Oakington? ”

"No, you don't! Mr. Tyrion. ”

Irel snorted, her eyes cold as she looked at the Death Knights cleaning the battlefield in front of her, and she said in a deep voice:

"The First Warband has been under my command since its establishment, and this is also the earliest legion of the Knights of the Darkblade, if a full 2,000 Death Knights gather together and can't even eradicate the resistance of the Aranka Peak Forest, it will be a dereliction of our duty! It means that we have lived up to your expectations! ”

Tyrion sensed Iriel's strong self-confidence, which was good, and he was very satisfied with this temperament, and behind him, Iriel's debriefing was not over.

"Actually, after four great wars, we have only lost less than 50 knights, if it weren't for the fact that the ravens are not currently able to be conscripted as soldiers, our losses would be even more slight, in fact, in my opinion, the dark magic that these fallen ravens are good at has a very weak effect on the death knights and necromancy, if our opponents are just fallen ravens who can't fly, we don't even need to send out the death knights at all, we can kill them all by relying on the infantry!"

Speaking of which, Irel hesitated:

"To sum up, the advantage of the First Legion of the Knights of the Darkblade over the Ravens is overwhelming, but when it comes to shortcomings... That is, the number of dark rangers is too small, which makes it difficult for us to guard against the raid of high-level crowmen, if we can have a full army of rangers, how can we allow those high-level crowmen who can fly around so rampantly! ”

"Ranger..."

Tyrion's eyes changed slightly, as an elite ranger from Quel'Salas, how could he not know the role of the Ranger Legion.

"It's a pity, Draenor doesn't have a race that specializes in bows and arrows, the number of draenei hunters and orc hunters is too small, and they are still a lot worse than the real rangers, and they don't have the ultra-long-range vision and hidden detection abilities that rangers should have."

"This is a difficulty that cannot be solved in the short term."

Tyrion's fingers moved:

"But even then, the war in the Aranka Peak Forest must be resolved as quickly as possible... The First Legion can't be trapped here, let's go, Iriel, and we'll talk as we go. ”

"Yes"

Irel waved his hand, and soon a Death Knight led the two Death Thunderbolts in battle armor, and as she left the battlefield, Iriel, who was sitting on the Thunder Elephants, seemed to have a sudden thought, and she whispered to Tyrion:

"Mr. Tyrion, these days, about the Valley of Tyroc, the ravens say that their gods are inhabited... The Death Knights we stationed there have also reported that when they sleep at night, they feel a dark consciousness hanging over the valley, should we be prepared for this? ”

"Gods? Ansu, the god of crows? ”

Tyrion scoffed at this, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes:

"Yes, it does exist, but it doesn't appear when the orcs kill the ravens, and if it stops us, it thinks we're better than the orcs... If it really thinks so, I don't mind "playing around" with it. ”

"An old demigod who can only hide in the shadow realm and survive... Don't take it personally. ”
