3. A different kind of Draenor [36/100]

"Buzz"

The purple light swelled and swirled, like a drowning man struggling desperately, sticking his cheeks out of his sleep, and the distorted curtain of light was finally broken through after reflecting the full human face.

Armed with the Staff of the Guardian and covered in defensive magic, Khadgar opened his eyes as he moved his body to "pull" himself out of the viscous vortex of magic.

He stood on the steps of the Dark Gate on Draenor's side, and as the first human to enter the world of Draenor, he stared straight at the scene in front of him.

"Oh... Hell is the same! ”

Yes, beyond the Gate of Darkness, there was not a savannah of wind and water, or a lush forest, the Hellfire Peninsula was ruined, and the barren dark red earth was full of cracks, and no plant could grow in such an environment, and the sky overhead was gloomy, just like the Cursed Lands, and the pale white light that appeared in the clouds from time to time exacerbated this apocalyptic situation.

This is still thanks to the resurgence of the elemental spirits in this world, which has allowed the evil energy from the Shadowmoon Valley to stagnate, otherwise the situation on the Hellfire Peninsula will only get worse.

In Khadgar's gaze, in front of the Dark Gate, a large, black fortress beneath a ravine in the ground stood like a sleeping beast above the wasteland, and the land was almost empty except for it.

No orcs! There is no such thing as a vicious battle imaginary! There is no danger in the open... Here, there is nothing but despair and dead silence!

"This is Greenskin's hometown?"

The second general Danas, who had stepped through the dark gate, watched in amazement, and after a moment he whispered:

"If this is the case in this world, I can probably understand why the orcs are repeatedly invading Azeroth... Compared to here, our hometown is like paradise. ”

"Not really!"

Khadgar shook his head, he looked in the direction of the southwest, his fingers colliding:

"There, in that direction, I felt the presence of magic! There must be life in this world... But the land in front of me is probably gone. ”

This is the senses of mages and warriors, and behind him, the expedition slowly passes through the Dark Gate, the leader of the paladins Tulayan on his horse, he looks at the Hellfire Peninsula in front of him, he shakes his head, and just as he is about to give the order, a voice appears in his ears.

It's like... It's like a chant!

"Did you hear that?"

Tulayan grabbed General Danas's arm violently, and he said in a deep voice:

"Did you hear that? The song! Holy, pure, full of light-perceiving, singing! The sound of the chant! Didn't you hear? ”

"Are you not feeling well? Tulayan"

Khadgar looked at the leader of the paladins with a strange expression, and he whispered, "Your soul injury is not healed, you should listen to me and stay in the Watch Castle." ”

"No, it's not! Khadgar, it's not that I'm hallucinating! ”

Tulayan grabbed the squire beside him, it was a tall human knight, his name was Joe. Al, once the lieutenant of the deceased Grand Knight Gavinrad, is now the captain of the Expeditionary Paladin.

"Joe, tell them what you heard!"

Tulayan said a word, Paladin Joe. Al hesitated, but after a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest:

"Indeed, the general is right, I can hear the song too, if there is any, in that direction! Something is calling us... It is a holy and bright being. ”

This phenomenon immediately caught the attention of the sons of Lothar, and the expedition was encamped on the land closest to the Dark Gate, and after a detailed investigation, Khadgar was surprised to find that only the paladins and the priests accompanying the army could hear the so-called song, and no one else, whether it was a ranger or a griffin knight.

"So, the call of the Light?"

The archmage frowned, "In this desolate world, is there also the existence of holy light?" ”

"Purer than the Light we have come into contact with in Azeroth! Khadgar! ”

Tulayan took the archmage's arm with a sincere expression, he looked left and right, and whispered:

"There must be beings of Holy Light in this world that are more powerful than Azeroth, and I must send this news back to the Silver Hand HQ! If it really exists, then this world... This world will become a sacred place for paladins! ”

"This is the world of orcs! It has ill will towards us! Tulayan! ”

The archmage snapped:

"Are you crazy? We're still on our feet, so you're trying to summon some paladins? It's too risky! I can't agree more! ”

This rebuke made the great knight who was inspired by the Holy Light sober up a little, he thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"You're right, Khadgar, I'm getting a little impatient, at least until we see it with our own eyes, we can't act rashly... Forgive me for my presumptuousness. ”

Khadgar shook his head, dealing with paladins is fine, they are friendly, humble and helpful, but when it comes to faith, these Light-armed fellows become a different kind of thing, stubborn, impulsive and aggressive, eager to show the greatness of the Light to any enemy who does not believe in the Light.

Khadgar, like the other mages, has a critical attitude towards any faith, and deep down, he does not believe that the Light is truly selfless, any faith has its own shortcomings, and the Light is no different.

But this was not the most important thing for him to consider, Khadgar raised his head, and more than 30 griffons carrying dwarves and human griffin knights, rushing in every direction of this endless wasteland, they would send back information about the dead hellfire peninsula in the shortest possible time, and on the other side, the knights led by Danas himself had begun to explore the surrounding environment.

"There's an orc camp there!"

Ten minutes later, Aurelia on a war horse stopped in front of the archmage in a heroic manner, she pointed to the southeast direction, and the ranger's face was a little strange:

"The building is still very intact, there is no trace of destruction, from what we can see, it seems to have been abandoned on its own initiative, the orcs there are in a hurry, after leaving the camp, the traces they left behind have become scattered, as if there was a big war, but the strangest thing is here!"

Aurelia looked at the Hellfire Fortress in the distance with some uneasiness, and she whispered:

"The corpses in the fortress are gone... In fact, not a single corpse has been found in every stronghold we have found, Khadgar, something is wrong with this place! Be prepared for defense in advance. ”

"Thank you, Aurelia."

Khadgar nodded to the Ranger Captain, and the more news they gathered, the more doubts the Archmage became, and eventually, he also set his sights on the dead hellfire fortress ahead.

The archmage had a hunch that all the secrets would be answered in that huge fortress.

And the activities of the Alliance Expeditionary Force could not be concealed from the current owner of this land, in the quiet and warm darkness, the lord in the long black dress turned over on her wide bed, her face was beautiful and beautiful, and the figure looming under the long skirt was even more noticeable, and the moment the first sentry of the alliance approached her fortress, the lord opened his eyes suddenly.

In the darkness, it was a beating blood-red, like two flames of evil that had been kindled.

"Hehe... Finally have fun. ”

The news of the arrival of the guests from the other world was the first to appear in Tyrion's spirit, and above the dark temple in the distant Shadowmoon Valley, the Great Lord of the Darkblade rose from his cold throne and walked to the edge of the rooftop, looking at the knights patrolling the renovated dark temple below.

There was a different emotion in his ice-blue eyes, and he called out in the spiritual link, and soon, the shadow behind him jumped, revealing the figure of the Blood Watcher, compared to a year ago, Nassa's unruly aura was much less, as if he had completely recognized his current situation in time and chose to obey.

But this doesn't mean that she is dead set on Tyrion, in fact, she is still self-defeating, but she will no longer take the initiative to provoke the bottom line of the Great Lord of Death in front of her.

"The Dark Gate has been opened, but it's been a year and six months, and that's enough, Nassa, send your watchers to Azeroth to contact our agents over there before the humans close the Dark Gate..."

"Connection is not a problem."

Nassa's fingers swayed, and a small dagger bouncing back and forth in her hand like a butterfly through a flower, and she glanced at Tyryon's back and whispered:

"But it's been a year and a half since we last contacted him, and who knows if the goblin is still loyal to us, and you know that even after death, money can easily buy him."

"If he betrayed, then there was no need for him to exist."

Tyrion waved his finger:

"It's up to you to decide whether he lives or dies, and the Alliance's "friends" have stepped into this world, and they are not a problem, but I have to solve the matter on the side of the Alanka Peak Forest first... So the war will have to be left to Luminas, and hopefully she will show mercy to her guests. ”

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Tyrion, you're always so confident."

Nassa's figure disappeared into the darkness, and her voice became muffled:

"There's a huge ticking time bomb by your side, and she's holding most of the secrets of the Knights of the Darkblade, and once this bomb explodes, your world will have no secrets before the Alliance... So, do you need me to help you get rid of her? ”

"Not necessarily!"

The Death Knight whispered, "She's also a member of the Darkblade Knight, and I'm sure that after being with us for so long, her sense of death must be very different... But what you're thinking about also makes sense. ”

"Bang"

Tyrion snapped his fingers in the darkness, and a moment later, a Breaker dressed in a distinctive shamanic robe, with two golden scythes around his waist and a skull pendant on his back, walked into the rooftop, half-kneeling behind Tyrion, and said in a hoarse voice:

"What do you command? Master. ”

"Akama, how are you keeping in touch with Teredor?"

Tyrion asked about something else, and Akama, the leader of the Greytongue Breakers, who had become a powerful shaman, replied respectfully:

"The Draenei of Teredor still reject us, but thanks to your kindness, the Elemental Way has begun to circulate throughout the Draenor Breaker camp, and with this I can maintain contact with my former friend Nobundun, the leader of the Breakers who lives in Teledore, but Nobundon is not noble in Teredor... It's hard to say if he'll be able to make it to the upper echelons of society among the arrogant Draenei. ”

"That's enough, you're doing well."

Tyrion nodded, he looked back at the leader of the Brokenbreakers, the scene when they first met 2 years ago is still vivid, when Akama was physically shriveled and mentally fragile, and the loss of faith in the Holy Light made him a little unloved, but after learning the shaman's elemental way, Akama who regained his faith became stronger.

Not only did he regain his strength, but more importantly, the new faith filled the emptiness in his heart and that of his people, making the Greytongue Breaker a force to be reckoned with in the Dark Temple for the past 2 years.

While Akama himself is grateful to Tyrion, it's hard to say whether he's loyal to the Death Knight or not.

"Continue to maintain your contact with Teredor, if necessary, I may need you to use this connection to bridge the gap between the Knights of the Darkblade and the Draenei, and besides, you go and tell Ella personally!"

"The Hellfire Fortress is under some kind of threat, and her good friend Luminas needs help, so I'll send her to the Hellfire Peninsula with a portion of the Breakers and Death Knights to prepare her for war!"

"Yes, master."

Akama's figure slowly vanished into the darkness, and the Death Knight's eyes narrowed, thinking about something else.

"Ella, the engineer and the dwarf who lives among the dead, you seem to have adapted to this life of high power, but you will meet your former friends, and face your current friends, Luminas who have been protecting you... What kind of choice would you make between the living and the dead? ”

"I'm curious..."
