Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The stinky pirate abandoned his most beloved queen for a courier delivery.

This is already a very, very outrageous thing, but the most outrageous thing is that Queen Azshara, who has always been very harsh on those around her, actually acquiesces to this kind of desertion and fishing.

Probably because after setting foot on land, Black's arrangements were very exciting and there were no problems. This excellent work efficiency obviously made Queen Azshara very satisfied.

In addition, the Queen has already seen the huge potential of Black Shaw and the benefits that maintaining a friendly relationship with him can bring to her.

So for this little offense, the Queen could pretend she didn't see it.

This is the theory of "value" that Black explained to Hisari Crow before.

The extent to which others tolerate you is only determined by the value you bring to others. The Pirate is valuable to everyone, and the best part is, he knows it.

Therefore, he behaves freely and confidently in front of everyone.

However, what exactly is the "express delivery" that Black wants to pick up immediately, even at the risk of offending Azshara?

This inevitably made people a little curious. The queen in the carriage wanted to send her spies to follow and take a look, in order to satisfy her curiosity as an emperor.

But she soon realized that perhaps Black's power at the magical level was inferior to hers, but when the battlefield shifted to shadows and assassins, the queen's palace assassins were also far weaker than Black Shaw.

The advantages of both sides in their respective fields are as obvious as their weaknesses in their respective fields.

So after thinking for a moment, the Queen made a rational decision. She would never pry into Blake's little secret in order to continue to strengthen the cooperation between the two parties that currently seemed to have a bright future.

Of course, Queen Azshara knew very well that she was definitely not Black Shaw's only partner.

This is a hidden danger that makes people feel uneasy.

This means that in the cooperation between the two parties, Black has other choices, but Her Majesty the Queen can only choose to believe or give up on Black.

This is really hard to reassure Queen Azshara.

She knew that she had to find a way to make the relationship between the two parties go further, or simply, like N'zoth took advantage of his own, take advantage of Black's weaknesses and weaknesses at some point.

This is not something that can be done casually. The Queen feels that she must take a long-term approach.

The royal carriage was running through the Eversong Forest, but Queen Azshara, who was lying on her back on the royal carriage, did not even realize that although she came to punish rebellion and declare the sovereignty of the empire, she hardly thought about peace and harmony along the way. Any questions about Elisande.

Probably the reason was that Black had repeatedly promised her that Elisande was dead.

This made Her Majesty the Queen convinced of this inevitable outcome.

From this point of view, Queen Azshara currently relies on Black, but it is far more than the smelly pirates need her. No wonder Black, who is the most observant, dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen.

On the other side, Blake didn't actually go far after leaving the Queen's car.

Because the place he wants to connect is not in the material world, to be precise, the "courier guys" who are serving him do not come from the material plane, and they also have their own set of contact information.

In short, following the guidance in his mind, the pirate quickly passed through the forest and came to a hidden valley in a cage. The terrain here was very good, but it was not suitable for a battle line.

Because it is almost unobstructed from the air, there is no confidentiality at all.

After the pirate entered the valley through a hidden cave, he immediately saw a group of Quel'dorei Dragonhawk Knights patrolling the valley. On the ground, there were several high elves dressed as spellcasters speaking under the shade of the trees. Talk.

The scene was like a detachment of elves taking a break.

However, the cover-up on the outside could not stop Blake's "krypton gold dog eyes". He could easily detect weak abnormalities from these elves.

Although they look like elves, talk like elves, and move like elves, these guys are definitely not real Quel'dorei.

Black, holding a pipe in his mouth, emerged from the shadows carelessly and walked towards the elves.

After noticing the presence of the pirates, the elves who had been chatting animatedly just now suddenly stopped their conversation, turned their heads, and stared silently at Black, who was approaching, with a strange and penetrating gaze.

The pirate grinned and stretched out his hand to wave to the elves in front of him, just like old acquaintances would shout when they meet.

He shouted:

"Hey, the Burning Legion's vanguard in Quel'Thalas is meeting here? Are they discussing the capture of Silvermoon City? Or are they discussing how to use the Sunwell to stage a demonic invasion?

Do you want me to give you an idea?

I'm not bragging, I still have some skills in this area. "

"Shut up."

A white-haired female elf scolded coldly:

"Why are you talking to us in devilish language? Do you really want to make it known to everyone? Asshole, if Lord Mal'Ganis hadn't personally ordered it, do you really think we would risk being blamed for coming here to talk to you? Meet?"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I send people to plunder Silvermoon City to attract the attention of the elves? As long as you don't mess around, no one will pay attention to you in this time of chaos."

Blake rolled his eyes and said unhappily:

"Also! You are a fear lord that I have never seen before! You have to pay attention to the way you talk to me! I am the current owner of your former fear lord, Ms. Jin Tesha.

Rounding it all off, you are all my subordinates’ subordinates.

Although everyone serves the Emperor's endless great achievements, necessary respect must be shown. Others in the province say that the Emperor's subordinates do not understand etiquette. Do you understand? "

This arrogant attitude made all the Dread Lords disguised as elves look at each other.

They did not participate in the actions in the world of Draenor, but had only vaguely heard about what happened there. It was said that Jin Tesha lost to a mortal in conspiracy and was severely punished by the emperor.

As a result, the final whereabouts of Kim Tessa was only now known from Blake.

Gee, this is really scary to think about.

It’s no wonder that when Master Mal’Ganis gave orders, he would repeatedly remind them to retreat as soon as they were done and not to have any in-depth contact or unnecessary conversations with the stinky pirates.

"Where are my things?"

Blake saw several Dread Lords suddenly become silent. He curled his lips and didn't bother to argue with these "little people". He looked around the valley and didn't see his goods, so he said dissatisfiedly:

"Don't play tricks on me!

I'm warning you, I can talk to the emperor directly. If you dare to do anything in front of me, I will make you devils miserable! "

"What are you in a hurry for?"

The female Dread Lord who spoke just now took up the conversation. She seemed to be the leader of the Dread Lords hiding people in Quel'Thalas. She crossed her arms and said to the pirates with an unhappy look on her face:

"The Stoneborn Legion is waiting on the other side of the curtain of life and death. It is because of their characteristics that are different from ordinary life forms that they can sneak into the material world while the Gryen angels enter and leave the curtain of life and death.

Now your pirates are fighting against elven rangers and mages all along the coast, and the dead and injured souls are enough to attract those pesky Kyrian angels.

What we need is an opportunity.

Well, you're in luck. "

As soon as the Dread Lord finished speaking, everyone, including Blake, looked at the skyline along the coastline. There were fluctuations in anima power there, which represented the opening of a door from the Shadow Realm to the material world.

Unfortunately, that is the entrance door that can only be entered and exited by the Green Angels of the Ascension Fortress. Except for the little blue angels who are responsible for extraditing souls, no one can go back and forth between life and death through that door. between.

Of course, this refers to ordinary life.

Venthyr's Stoneborn Legion cannot be classified as ordinary life in any way.

"Look! They're coming."

Several fear demon kings who had been lurking in the material world for many years looked at the empty sky and suddenly cheered like "Fellow meets fellow villager". The pirates shook their heads at this seemingly warm welcome gesture.

These guys actually want to lie to him

Who among the secret members of the Emperor's command doesn't know that the Stoneborn Legion and the Nathrezim have been hostile to each other since birth.

The reason why the Stoneborn were born was because the Nasrezim created by the Great Emperor were causing trouble everywhere in the worlds on both sides of life and death, and accidentally provoked the Holy Light camp.

Thousands of Naaru chased the Dread Lords and rushed into Revendreth, fighting the Venthyr for many years in that gloomy bloody world. The Venthyr whose habits were like vampires simply couldn't They are no match for the Holy Light Naru.

The searing, holy light was too much a hold on these anima vampires.

In order to win, the Stoneborn Legion was created with the help of a mysterious man called the Stoneforger. The first battle after the birth of these powerful stone statues was against the Naaru Legion.

After paying a heavy price, the Stoneborn miraculously won the victory. The price of victory was that a third of Revendreth was completely razed into a desolate wasteland.

As the initiator of this war, Nathrezim was exiled from Revendreth and even the entire Shadow Realm.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that all this was directed and performed by the Great Emperor, allowing him to naturally send the races of the death world into the material world.

"Stop pretending and get out of here."

Black held his pipe in his mouth and sarcastically said to several disguised Dread Lords:

"When the stone descendants fall down, I will push you to the ground and beat you up when I see you annoying guys. Although they are all serving the great cause of the emperor, these guys in the Stone Legion are just as different as other stone descendants. Like you.

In short, why ask for a beating?

Right. "

"whispering sound"

Several Dread Lords were naturally unhappy when they heard what Blake said.

They were actually despised by a mortal, but what the stinky pirate said was right. If he really met the Stone Yi, he probably wouldn't be able to escape after a good beating.

Although the Dread Lords are cunning, the Stoneborn are generally not very clever. But when it comes to communication on the physical level, the nathrezim who are good at using their brains are definitely no match for the stone descendants who are good at using their hands.

Several fear demon kings wanted to leave just like that, but the leading female demon king still asked before leaving:

"For the sake of everyone serving the Emperor, Lord Black, tell us honestly, what are your plans for Quel'Thalas?

We are very curious, after this sudden incident, can Quel'Thalas continue to exist as an independent force?

Our eyes have discovered scattered Nagas marching on the coast at the edge of the forest. Have you secretly contacted Queen Azshara to join the war in Quel'Thalas? "

"All of you are not very capable and very curious."

The smelly pirate snorted, blew out a smoke ring, and said impatiently to the Dread Lords:

"Don't worry, I promise you that after I finish my work, you can continue your latent operations, and maybe you can get into a high position as a blessing in disguise.

As for Queen Azshara's affairs, you should stay less involved and less involved.

My Queen is not as good-tempered as me. You bastards who dare to hang out in front of her will be caught and tortured. I don’t think I need to explain to you how capable Azshara is at beating.

Don't even think about using the Sunwell to summon legions for invasion.

I still have use for that magic well.

Don't ruin my business, I'm warning you! "

Say it, especially the last sentence.

Although it was a warning, it was like a flash of enlightenment in the ears of other Dread Lords, causing the eyes of several lurkers to suddenly light up.

They don't care what Blake has planned for this country.

Their social relations are not as complicated as those of the stinky pirates. They are only responsible to Emperor Denathrius. The Emperor wants to see all the worlds run into rivers of blood and life and death are out of balance, so these loyal servants must create such a "grand scene" for the Emperor. .

What a wonderful saying from the stinky pirate.

With the Sunwell as the energy source and the support of the Burning Legion from the Twisting Nether, a large-scale demonic invasion can be launched in minutes, which may completely mess up Azeroth.

Tsk tsk, as expected of Blake, things that we can't even think of can be easily accomplished by him.

Not bad.

Just do it!

Several fear demons exchanged glances with each other, and quietly took the elven dragonhawk knights who were charmed by them to leave before the arrival of the Stoneborn Legion.

Watching these guys leave, a fleeting smile appeared on Blake's face. He sneered a few times, shook his head, said nothing more, and just looked at the sky expectantly.

But soon, Blake's expression became less pretty.

Under his gaze, a group of silent and strange beings fell from the sky one by one, and soon filled the entire valley, but there was no way they could number three thousand people.

In fact, with the pirate's fairly good level of mathematics, he could tell at a glance that although these stone descendants were indeed genuine stone descendants, their number was at most 1,200!

That's right!

It's them.

Emperor Denathrius didn't know if his brain was squeezed by a certain gate in the Shadow Realm. The Stoneborn Legion he assigned to Black was actually composed of female Stoneborn Demons.

Not a single tall male could be seen.

"The third general of the Stone Legion is reporting to you. Dear Lord Black, the 'Hand of the Emperor', the 'Sin's Edge' Legion is waiting for your orders at any time!"

A female stone-born general who was twice as tall as Blake, wearing gorgeous gold-red armor, carrying an anima battle ax on her back, and a belt full of weapons, folded her wings, strode forward, and approached the warrior with a very outstanding military posture. Blake saluted.

This stoneborn has a very strange appearance. She seems to be carved from obsidian. She has a slender body like a high-level arakkoa, recurved demonic hooves, and demonic black horns.

She is very powerful and does not hide her aura. She is a powerful stone descendant who has transcended the realm of demigods.

But she respectfully took out a delicate box, handed it to Blake with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"In addition, in the name of the Great Emperor, I send you this emblem of 'Earl Sin-Eater', which means that from now on, Lord Black Shaw, you have entered Revendreth with the generous promise of the Great Emperor. Among the most orthodox noble pedigrees.

Believe me, this is an unprecedented act of generosity and honor. "

"Well, we'll talk about the count later."

The stinky pirate stared and questioned the stone-born general in front of him:

"I'm not blind yet, and I'm grateful to my mentor for teaching me mathematics so that I can clearly see the number of soldiers you brought, my dear General Carl.

This is not even the 3,000 people the emperor promised me!

And don’t think that giving yourself the popular title of ‘Sinful Edge’ can hide the fact that two-thirds of the stone assassins here are new recruits.

Believe me.

I know better than you the hopeless combat effectiveness gap between Stoneborn veterans and new recruits. "

Blake clenched his fists in displeasure and said to the female general in front of him who was becoming more and more embarrassed by what he said:

"I have done meritorious service for the Great Emperor! I have shed blood for Venthyr! Not long ago, I sent a demigod soul full of sins to receive atonement. How much anima can it squeeze out with just one soul!

Those who can sell their hearts to the greedy Sai consortium can at least get me a curtain market! Damn it! This is too different! Did you bold bastards get a kickback?

Anyway!

I must have an explanation! "
