Azeroth’s Death Track

In the first three months of the 16th year of the Dark Portal, all major forces were busy with their own affairs, except for a war brewing in the distant Northrend, and the demons in Ashenvale gathered more and more, which caused the night elves a headache. In addition, the whole world unexpectedly reflects a peaceful atmosphere.

The Federation is busy with new immigrants and pioneering areas, and the Empire is busy building cities and absorbing the ancient knowledge in the city of Eresalas. The two different civilization systems are operating normally according to each other's rhythm. Even those arms dealers who fan the flames all over the world have their own affairs. It is said that not long ago in Desolace, a venture capital company made another big business.

Faced with the oppression of the Dark Blade Legion, the badly beaten centaurs accepted the goodwill of the goblins and bought a lot of arms, and this move directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dark Blade Consortium in Booty Bay. Under Di Moore's planning, the three bases of the venture capital company on the South China Sea Islands were blown up overnight.

In short, the world continues to move forward between disputes and peace.

But on the fringes of every civilization, there are always some dissatisfied with reality who are peeping at the loopholes in the order, ready to make a big move at any time.

For example, the cultists of the Cult of the Damned who are active in the dark areas of Stratholme, such as the bleak Twilight Hammer cultists who lived in Wildhammer Heights.

After the Battle of Northern Borders, the Dark Blade Legion targeted these scum hidden under the federal civilization. For a while, the dark world of the entire Federation was surging, and those active cultists were arrested in batches , thrown into the mines in the Black Iron region, or simply killed directly, in short, during the 15th and 16th year of the handover period of the Dark Portal, the life of the cultists in Azeroth was really very difficult.

Wildhammer Heights is the base camp of these cultists.

This is a region of mountains and plains between the wetlands of the eastern continent and the Arathi Highlands. A few years ago, this was one of the gathering places for the Wildhammer dwarves. There is a red jade holy place for red dragons, which is a breeding ground for red dragons to hatch dragon eggs. In the southern part of the highlands, there is also a strange obsidian forest. It is said that there are still some remaining black dragons wandering there.

And in the southeastern part of the highlands, it is the residence of some Dragonmaw orcs who escaped from the massacre in Grim Batol.

In short, this land is not stable, especially in the early stage of the Battle of Northern Border, after the Dark Blade was used as a troop transport route to the Arathi Highlands, the local Wildhammer dwarves and Dragonmaw Orcs were all attacked by the Dark Blade. With a near-destructive blow, even those powerful red dragons were forced to block the passage between the Red Jade Holy Land and the outside world under the undead's non-stop offensive, and established barriers in the mountains to prevent being attacked by the undead. be disturbed.

It's said, it's just said...the red dragons are secretly transferring a large number of dragon eggs here. These powerful creatures seem to be ready to give up this holy place after the power of the dark blade undead sweeps across the entire eastern continent.

But after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Dark Blade gave up this highland, and there were not many resources needed by Dark Blade. Within a year, new settlements appeared in this barren land outside civilization, and many of their members were unable to survive in the existing civilization... They were all a group of Rats who can't live in sunlight.

Under the influence of dark and strange forces, a huge stone tower rose from the southwest of the Wildhammer Heights, like a dark peak reaching the sky, and at the top of the peak is a road leading to a special place. The flaming, shadow-winged portal is home to the infamous cult, the Twilight's Hammer, and only those who have embraced their chaotic and insane minds are allowed near it.

And only those bastards who have expressed their allegiance to the Twilight's Hammer will be allowed to climb the tower, enter the fiery portal... into the sanctuary of these madmen, they call it The Twilight Fortress , implying world judgment, the twilight hour that will bring great destruction to the world, will start from here...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place that normal people would approach.

Still the same sentence, no matter how much civilization develops, no matter how high it reaches, in any social system, there will always be people who are constantly ignorant of reality, and these people are the foundation for cults to take root, Twilight The leaders of the Hammer are very savvy masters of evil, and they have their own very useful methods of recruiting Protestants.

Even under the double strangling of the Dark Blade and the Federation, the Twilight's Hammer still maintains a huge number of believers. From the perspective of organization, this is undoubtedly a successful organization, and the only problem is...

As cultists, they seem to be a bit too high-profile... and this has caused them big trouble.

—————————————

Is the target confirmed?

In the middle of the Wildhammer Highlands, in the stone castle left by the Wildhammer dwarves, a huge team has already occupied this place and used it as their stronghold. In the most central stone castle, several death knights are standing Beside a stone table with a tactical map, they wore armor similar to that of the Dark Blade Knight, but without the Dark Blade logo. On the chest, it was replaced by a warhammer logo dotted with stars.

They are the Order...

An organization that breaks away from the concept of Dark Blade, but still follows the circulation and balance, an organization whose purpose is to maintain world order and fight against the shadows under the world, an organization full of idealists and everyone is a doer , a... er, organization without borders.

This last point can be seen from the races of several death knights.

There are humans, elves, dwarves, and even rare dwarf death knights, and the team patrolling outside the stone castle is not only death knights, but also some living beings who are attracted by great goals, some Blightcaller Germans Rui, some thrashing dwarven engineers, some werewolf assassins wearing leather armor, and a few orc shamans exiled by the Dragonmaw clan, and even a few good tauren pirates.

This ingredient...is definitely the most complicated type among all organizations, large and small, in Azeroth.

At this time, in the stone castle, Garona the Orc Assassin, who was wearing black leather armor, a white mask, and a silver ring on her finger, nodded silently in the face of the elf death knight's inquiry. She became darker and more dangerous after being transformed, and she is currently the leader of the assassins in the Order.

Garona took out a hand-drawn map and placed it in front of several high-level knights. The map accurately marked the terrain of the target location, as well as several red Xs.

I just got back from the Twilight Bastion...

Garona's voice was very hoarse and very slight, like a dagger hidden in the dark, her skinny fingers touched several red X numbers one by one:

That place is located in a demiplane that has been opened up. It is divided into three layers, which are the residences of cultists, twisted elements, and flesh and blood monsters. Cho'gall, Benedictas, and Daga Burner, this Several main leaders of the Twilight's Hammer, as well as the abyssal monsters summoned by them are among them.

They must have spotted us.

A gray-haired human death knight stared at the map, and said in a deep voice:

Why don't they run away?

Very simple, my brother Thassarian.

Another high elf death knight brushed his long white hair, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

Those arrogant cultists think they can defeat us, and they may be planning a counterattack right now. But you and I both know they can't... After tonight, there will be no place for the Twilight's Hammer on this land place!

Are you so sure? Koldira, you are always so confident for no reason.

The human death knight Thassarian sneered at his companion's confident speech. He looked down at the map, turned to the dwarf death knight sitting directly above the stone table, closed his eyes and meditated:

Lord Kurtaz, before entering the Twilight Fortress, I want to take the team out. There are several cultist camps in other parts of this mountainous area. We'd better get rid of them, lest those evil cultists The believers knew about our actions in advance.

No need to worry, Thassarian, Lord Dathrohan has already done it...

The dwarf closed his eyes and meditated, snorted:

Cultists...hehe, scum-like things, they should all be damned!

The dwarf death lord Kurtaz, the paladin lord who was killed by Magni in the Battle of Northern Border, was resurrected. He would rather die than join the Dark Blade. He chose self-exile, but after the Order recruited After that, he decided to join this more pleasing to the eye organization. Now, after the souls of El Knight and Black Knight Aznab were captured by Lord Darkblade, this powerful dwarf has become the actual leader of the Order. One of the two chiefs.

And the other leader is the great human knight Saidan Dathrohan who was beheaded by the death lord Yrel on the Khaz Modan battlefield... that is several paladins who were resurrected by the grand lich Sunstrider One of the lords, who, like Kurtaz, would rather join the weak Order than serve Tyrion.

In fact, several death knights in this house gathered here for the same reason. Although the Order is small in scale, even if you count the survivors who joined later because of the same idea, the number of them did not exceed 2,000. The fighting power of this organization is very tyrannical!

Their souls are armed with great beliefs, and their bodies are armed with advanced weapons sold by arms dealers in the Black Iron District. Together with the main body of the Order, they are all high-level and low-level death knights of the Dark Blade Legion, all on the battlefield After being polished, these factors combined to allow them to exterminate the cultists in the Wildhammer Highlands very smoothly in recent months.

It is precisely because of the fierce suppression of the Orderers that the local cultists have gathered in the Twilight Fortress, which will also be the last battlefield of the Orderers.

Also, I have some news to share with you all.

The dwarf lord Kurtaz opened his blue eyes, and in the dim light in his eyes, he whispered in a low and hollow voice:

This time the operation against the Twilight Fortress...we have a reinforcement army, a reinforcement army from the Federation. The congressmen hate cultists, and they hope that we can solve this big trouble cleanly.

federal?

Thassarian frowned, he said doubtfully:

I admit that the civilization of the Federation is very unique, and their engineering technology is also very shocking, but the fighters of the Federation? With all due respect, I don't know what powerful fighters the Federation has... They won't hold us back, right? ?”

I have seen their messengers.

Kurtaz shook his head and explained:

This is a team of very powerful... warriors, it is said that they are from a civilization that has just joined the Federation. In short, you will see them in the battle tonight, and this time against the Hammer of Twilight The war will not end with the capture of the Twilight Fortress. According to our Lich's analysis of the energy used by the cultists, the Twilight Hammer's threat to the world order is much greater than we imagined! Behind this must be a Terrible conspiracy!

We can't let them continue to do harm to the world. After the war in Wildhammer Highlands is over, we will go to Kalimdor... In the remote Silithus desert, there are still a large number of Twilight's Hammer cults Events...there will be our next target!

Kurtaz's words made everyone in the stone castle silent. After a few seconds, Thassarian raised his head and looked at his superior. He asked softly:

It's not just because of the Twilight's Hammer? Dark Blade, right? The benevolent high lord does not allow us to continue our activities in the Eastern Continent. He has disliked us for a long time, and he wants to drive us out. Rush to the Empire...Let us fend for ourselves, heck, I knew it, that bastard.

Don't say that, Thassarian.

The high elf death knight Koldira shrugged indifferently. This guy who was one of the 800 death knights in the Order of the Order and who once issued the Dark Blade with the El knight said softly:

No matter how great our beliefs are, no matter how righteous our actions are, we are always traitors...As far as I know, the war madmen of the Deathlord Council have been trying to include us in the category of enemies, the high-ranking leader of the Dark Blade The high-level knights publicly called us rebels, they hated us, and the entire Dark Blade hated us... In fact, we can still exist here and fight for our ideals, which is already an extra favor from the great lord.

So, do you still respect him? Respect a war madman, respect a conspirator?

Thassarian squinted his eyes and looked at his companion. Kurdira Deathweaver looked into Thassarian's eyes calmly, and he nodded:

Yes, I still respect Tyrion Dawnblade, even if our paths are not the same, but admit it, Thassarian...

He is a great man. The sacrifice he made for this world is something we will never be able to match. We can be hostile to him, but we cannot belittle him, let alone humiliate him...

Because we traitors don't have the qualifications before we actually do great deeds.
