Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 167 5. The old and new war [38100]

The development of the Auchindoun Necropolis by the Knights of the Dark Blade has not always been smooth.

As early as the last time the Dark Portal was closed, Tyrion had received news about the attack on Auchindoun, and the attackers at that time came from inside Auchindoun.

It is the enemy hidden in the Saitek hall, one of the four large tombs in the ruins. They lived in it long before the Dark Blade Knights arrived here. That is the arakkoa... to be precise, the arakkoa Exiles.

The arakkoa is a native species of the world of Draenor. In ancient times, the arakkoa created an ancient and glorious civilization in this world. It is said that the sky of Draenor is the territory of the ancient empire of the arakkoa.

However, like most stories, the ancestors were brilliant, while the descendants were incompetent. In the continuous internal strife, the arakkoa's civilization also fell into a serious decline. Especially 1200 years ago, the arakkoa's Apexis civilization and the German The arakkoa narrowly won the battle, but the ensuing racial infighting and purges forced them to unleash destructive power on their own kind.

With the powerful force sweeping across the entire Peak Forest of Alanka, the land that gave birth to the arakkoa civilization was completely shattered. In this battle, one-third of the arakkoa were sacrificed, and the backbone of the arakkoa civilization was completely broken.

Existing in the world, the mysterious knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the orcs does not introduce much of the past of these children of the sky. Perhaps even the arakkoa themselves have lost the splendid inheritance of ancient civilizations and can only hide in the shadows and shadows. In the wreckage of the Peak Forest of Alanka, with hateful and ignorant eyes, they are hostile to any creature that tries to enter here.

As for the arakkoa who attacked Auchindoun, they belonged to the exiles of the arakkoa. Their bodies were twisted and corrupted, like evil monsters that walked the land, which was disgusting, but that was another story.

call

The death knell of the necromantic dragon flapped its ominous wings and landed on the battlefield in the northeast of the rocky peak forest of Arak. The black Broken Blade banner of the Dark Blade Knights fluttered on the hillside. When Tyrion raised his head, he could see Many arakkoa descended from the sky and were attacking the camp of the death knights.

They were some weird creatures. They had human body, but their whole body was covered with bright feathers. Their feet were sharp claws like bird claws, and their arms were separated by four fingers, holding sharp wing blades in their hands. Scimitars, but unlike humans, they have wings similar to wings on both sides of their arms, and bird-like tail feathers behind them.

Their heads are the most peculiar, completely anthropomorphic bird heads, with sharp beaks, feather-like feathers floating behind their heads, and a pair of eyes that can move flexibly. Most importantly, they are all wearing armor.. .Light armor engraved with sun patterns. According to the seized armor, these light armors are made of special metal.

This shows that after experiencing the slaughter of the orcs, these arakkoa who hid in their old places still retain a certain manufacturing ability.

Death knell! Go help!

Tyrion waved his hand, and the howling frost formed an ice blade in his hand. He patted the big head of the Necromancer behind him, and whispered to it:

The Dark Portal has opened, and soon, soon your Queen will be free... Go ahead and drive those nasty birds from the sky!

as you wish...

A deep and hollow voice sounded in Tyrion's heart. The next moment, the Necromancer dragon with dark red bones all over its body flapped its wings and rushed into the sky. The moment it appeared on the battlefield, all the arakkoa screamed in panic. cried out.

This is where Tyrion really hates the arakkoa. Their screams are completely inconsistent with their gorgeous appearance. They are just like screams from hell. They are ugly, harsh, and unusually noisy. Even An existence like the death knight, who hardly cared about the interference from the outside world, could not bear this screaming sound.

Although the death knell was alone, the oppression it brought was definitely greater than those death knights on the ground who could not fly. At this moment, the arakkoa, who were still aggressive, were flapping their wings around like a bird in its old nest. Flying around, several of them were bitten by the death knell in a panic. The uneven teeth smashed their bodies like razors, accompanied by blood and feathers flying in the air. This cruel behavior made the arakkoa escape at a faster speed. faster.

Shoot these goddamned idiots down!

A loud cry sounded in the position below, and the next moment, the death knights who were harassed by the arakkoa immediately started to counterattack. The dark rangers drew their bows, and the sharp bone arrows roared into the sky. The flying of the arakko is quite flexible. Generally speaking, it is difficult for such bone arrows to hit them, but this time is different. Under the pressure of the Necromancer Dragon, the space for the arakko people to move is gradually reduced.

As the bone arrows pierced into the sky like rain, the arakkoa were like falling stones, pounding from the sky to the ground, and those arakkoa flying low were captured by the death knight with the death grip. Grabbed it, and was quickly repaired with a knife during the struggle.

The harassment battle ended 5 minutes after the Necromancer Dragon joined. In the end, a dozen or so arakkoa screamed in terror, flapping their wings and flying into the dark forest far away, not even daring to turn their heads.

Clean the battlefield! Make up for those who are still alive! Send the corpses back to Auchindoun!

Yrel put down the bow and arrow in her hand. In the battle just now, she shot three arrows, but they all missed. She is really not good at this kind of long-range attack weapon. After all, she was a priest before she was alive, not hunter.

It seems that you really need to learn archery.

Tyrion's voice sounded behind Yrel, which made Yrel very embarrassed. When facing Tyrion, she always became very nervous. This is probably because the two have the same source of death power Seeing Tyrion approaching, Yrel stood up straight and her face became serious, but the tail that kept wagging behind her represented her inner embarrassment.

Mr. Tyrion, why did you come here?

Yrel glanced at Tyrion cautiously, and asked in a low voice:

Are you dissatisfied with my job?

I can't say whether I'm satisfied or not. These arakkoa hiding in the Peak Forest of Arak are just like mice, they can't be killed cleanly.

Tyrion looked at the ornate corpse of the arakkoa under his feet. It was the leader of this attack. The robe he was wearing was obviously more gorgeous than other arakkoa, and what he was holding was not what the arakkoa were best at. A scimitar, but a twisted claw-like staff.

Tyrion waved his hand, and the golden pendant on the arakkoa's chest was grasped by the grip of death. The death knight looked at the unidentified runes on the pendant, and said softly:

This guy seems to be a big shot in the arakkoa?

This should be their high priest.

Yrel replied:

When I was still alive, I heard from those old priests in Karabor that the arakkoa of Tongtian Peak called themselves high-ranking arakkoa. They are a system ruled by priests. They yearn for the sky and hate the earth. Those twisted arakkoa walking on the ground are exiles.

The ones who have been trying to attack us are the exiles!

Yrel frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in her dark red eyes: They should be absolutely hostile, but as long as we enter the Peak Forest of Arak, we will be attacked by both sides at the same time. People hate it!

The only thing that can unite an enemy is a stronger enemy...It shows that they are afraid of us, which is good.

Tyrion threw the gold pendant in his hand back onto the body of the arakkoa priest. He looked back at Yrel, stretched out his fingers, and helped his death knight wipe off the blood stains on his face. Er's whole body stiffened from tension.

Tyrion may think that this action is nothing, but as a rare high-level death knight who still retains all emotions after death, Yrel was thinking about many, many weird things in her head until she was killed by Tyrion. The sound wakes up.

Yrel? Yrel!

Ah? I'm here!

Yrel answered hastily, Tyrion frowning at the flustered look, but he said nothing more.

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

yes!

Yrel settled down, stood behind Tyrion, and replied in a low voice:

This time I brought the First Legion into the Peak Forest of Alanka. I planned to wipe out the arakkoa forces here in one fell swoop. We have already occupied the Terok Valley. Four days ago, we found the lair of the fallen arakkoa there. , killed 300 fallen arakkoa!

3 days ago, we burned down the ruins of Zeke's Crow's Nest. According to the report from the scouts, this alarmed all the fallen arakkoa in Alanka. They are gathering towards Alanka. The number is more than 15,000. They seem to plan to use this This way, fight to the death with us!

And yesterday, the Vanguard Army had already opened up the road to Styx and Tongtian Peak under the obstruction of the high-ranking arakkoa.

The former is the stronghold of the fallen arakkoa, and the latter is the stronghold of the high-ranking arakkoa. Although the high-ranking arakkoa have never attacked Auchindoun, letting them move here is also a great threat to the Auchindoun necropolis. , so I decided to eradicate them completely! This is my current plan!

The tail behind Yrel stopped shaking, which means that she has truly entered the state of a death knight, becoming cold and ruthless. A series of slaughter and burning rewards came out of her mouth, making this slender, good-looking German Lenny's death knight's temperament also became chilling.

Well, it sounds perfect.

Tyrion nodded: Is there enough manpower? Do you need to send another batch of infantry from Auchindoun?

No need! Mr. Tyrion.

Yrel snorted. She looked at the death knights cleaning the battlefield in front of her with cold eyes. She said in a deep voice:

The first battle group has been led by me since its establishment. This is also the earliest group of the Dark Blade Knights. If a full 2,000 death knights gather together, even the resistance forces in the peak forest of Alanka cannot be eradicated. It represents our dereliction of duty! It represents that we have failed your expectations!

Tyrion felt Yrel's strong self-confidence, which was good, this temperament made him very satisfied, and behind him, Yrel's report was not over yet.

Actually, after the four wars, we only lost less than 50 knights. If it weren't for the arakkoa's inability to be recruited as soldiers, our loss would be even lighter. In fact, in my opinion, these fallen arakkoa The dark magic we are good at has very little effect on death knights and undead, if our opponents are only fallen arakkoa who can't fly, we don't even need to send out death knights, we can kill them all by relying on infantry!

Having said that, Yrel hesitated for a moment:

To sum up, the First Legion of the Dark Blade Knights has an overwhelming advantage over the Arakkoi, but if we talk about the shortcomings...there are too few Dark Rangers, which makes it difficult for us to guard against the Arakkoi Human raids, if we can have a full ranger army, how can we allow those high-ranking arakkoa who can fly around to be so rampant!

Ranger...

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

It's a pity that there are no races that specialize in bows and arrows in Draenor. The number of Draenei hunters and orc hunters is too small, and they are still far behind the true ranger, and they don't have what a ranger should be. Ultra-long-sight and stealthy detection capabilities.

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

Tyrion moved his fingers:

But even so, the war in the Spiers of Arak must be resolved as quickly as possible... The First Legion cannot be trapped here, let's go, Yrel, let's talk as we walk.

kindness

Yrel waved his hand, and soon a death knight led two death thunder elephants in battle armor. When leaving the battlefield, Yrel, who was sitting on the thunder elephants, seemed to suddenly think of something As well, she whispered to Tyrion:

Mr. Tyrion, these days, regarding the valley of Terokk, those arakkoa have legends that their gods live there... Our death knights stationed there also reported that when they sleep at night, they will feel A dim consciousness hangs over the valley, shall we be prepared for it?

God? Anzu, the god of crows?

Tyrion sneered at this, and a coldness flashed in his eyes:

Yes, it does exist, but it didn't appear when the orcs killed the arakkoa. If it stops us, it means that it thinks that we are easier to deal with than the orcs... If it really thinks so, I don't mind Play with it.

It's just an old demigod who can only hide in the shadow world... Don't take it to heart.
