Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"哐"

The low sound reverberated throughout the broken space of the terminal dock, shaking the demons on the edge of the dock to the point where they could no longer stand. The vibration was not violent at first, and soon subsided.

The stupid demon guards and hellhounds had no idea what was happening, but a group of Gangerg demon craftsmen who were directing the firefighting screamed.

Only they have enough engineering wisdom to understand what the vibration just represents.

These gray-skinned demons who look like goblins serve as engineers, tinkers, and miners in the Burning Legion. They have good brains but weak bodies. Most of them are servants and followers of Kingaros, the chief engineer of the Burning Legion.

Belongs to the proper "technical talents".

Of course, in a group like the Burning Legion that speaks with violence, these smart guys don't have much say. Therefore, they rarely follow the legion's demons to fight north and south. Most of the time, they are located in the terminal dock or the demon-casting camp. In the game, the demon vanguards can build and control fel cannons or repair dangerous and powerful fel mechas.

The demons do not respect these weak Gang Erge, but in a place like the terminal dock with a lot of black technology, the demon guards have to accept the command of Gang Erge.

Without these smart guys, most of the Legion's engineering creations would be difficult to start up and maintain.

"Quick! Go to the control tower!"

A Gangerg molten demon who had transformed his body into a very large and bloated one, had his left hand replaced with magic steel pliers, and his right hand was turned onto a rotating chainsaw, and even his eyes had been transformed into red electronic eyes, looked at a group of people beside him who were shivering in fear. The trembling servants roared:

"Before the starship loses traction and floats into outer space, turn the force field restraint back on! Damn it! An intruder has destroyed the control tower, go!"

Under its roar, a group of noisy Gangerg engineers immediately howled and rushed toward the terminal dock control tower.

The Demon Guards who were cruising around to watch the excitement quickly realized that something was wrong and followed the weak Gangerge technicians towards the control tower without anyone else's orders.

Because they have seen changes throughout the terminal dock.

Not only did they see it, but a group of Uncrowned Ones, Hidden Hunters and Watchers who were hiding on the cliff outside the terminal dock also saw it.

"Those ships!"

Nathanos threw himself an Eagle Eye spell, and he exclaimed:

"The demons' ship is starting to leave the harbor!"

"It's not a departure, it's a loss of control! You pathetic uneducated ranger."

Oversbach, the dwarf engineering master who was responsible for supporting the explosion part of the operation, put down his telescope. This "extremely smart" dwarf master corrected Nathanos's mistake with a boastful look.

He said very academically:

"As I said before, the dock built by the demons around the edge of the broken earth is a U-shaped structure. On the edge of the building, there is a force field restraint made by Legion Technology to pull the incoming spacecraft to stay in the "dock area."

Although those energy fields are invisible, they are important!

I suggested that the Watchers attack the restraints, but they overruled them, and I was proven right! Those things are the biggest weakness in this seemingly airtight shipyard! "

"You shameless dwarf! Don't put the blame on us."

Ms. Nasa was unhappy. She said to the dwarf master who compromised his responsibility:

"Didn't we escort you to see those machines up close? We gave up the plan because you said it was too difficult to destroy, and you have been trying to use your strange machines to peek at my sisters changing clothes these days. I haven’t given you any trouble yet!”

"Okay, stop arguing."

Blake waved his hand quite calmly.

He rubbed his chin and admired the chaos in the terminal dock in front of him. He looked around at his confused companions who didn't know much about engineering and explained in simple language:

"The process Overback mentioned is equivalent to the cables in the docks of Azeroth's ocean city. When a ship docks, it needs to be tied to the trestle with a cable and anchored.

When the starship's magic engine is not working, the huge starship must rely on these tractors to prevent it from falling into the abyss of the broken earth under the influence of weak gravity.

But just now, these force field restraints were all turned off in an instant by the 'saboteurs' we sent! Look! The starships in the dock began to leave the safe area and drifted downwards or into outer space.

They have lost their fighting ability.

Brann Bronzebeard did in a few minutes what the Watchers had not been able to do in days! He caused far more trouble to the demons than just a few detonated bombs. "

The pirate held his pipe in his mouth, glanced at Maiev sideways, and boasted:

"It turns out that my regard for him is justified, right? Some arrogant commanders really need to review their understanding of 'power'.

And I will bring a letter of apology to my cabin tonight to sincerely apologize to me. "

Maiev had no time to pay attention to the pirates' strange words. She was carefully observing the chaotic shipyard in front of her.

The huge docked starships lost control and began to move erratically. Several starships even collided. Large swaths of winged demons flew over and tried to enter these stalled spacecrafts.

And those starships that had not yet entered the port also realized that there was a problem in the dock.

They began to cruise outside the dock, but the lack of control from the control tower caused these demonic spacecraft to fly around, looking extremely chaotic.

Now was a good time to launch a surprise attack, but Maiev did not act immediately. She suppressed the impulse in her heart, glanced at Blake, and found that the latter was still looking forward to more chaos.

Thinking about it, it's just Brian Bronzebeard who is causing trouble, and Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo hasn't shown his power yet.

"Let's go too!"

After a few seconds, the pirate waved his hand and said to the group of people behind him:

"Sneak in during the chaos, find your targets, and drop the bombs you carry on places you think are important, but don't be in a hurry to detonate them, wait for my order.

If we're lucky, we'll destroy this damn demon shipyard today. "

While the sabotage team began to take action, the chaotic scene in front of them was a disaster for the Gangerg demons responsible for maintaining the terminal dock.

Their thousands-year record of impeccable maintenance of the terminal docks ended today.

They must control this mess before things get worse, otherwise once the deceivers know about the chaos here, these guys will all be thrown into the soul forging furnace!

The Deceivers rule the Burning Legion with more than reason and kindness, and their trusted masters will not spare them.

For Kingaros, the apocalyptic engineer with a high status in the legion, the pursuit of absolute brutal order and orderly manufacturing and production is an iron law that cannot be touched.

Once it knows that the terminal dock it designed personally is in such chaos, the demons in the dock will have to extract their magic energy and souls to forge the Garosi Destruction Mecha.

"You guys! Go to the observation deck immediately and pass the message to the outer starships, asking them to temporarily enter the port and wait for guidance."

Gang Erge, the Melting Demon responsible for the order of the shipyard, was so frightened that the chainsaw on his arm was turning counterclockwise. The big demon engineer, who was like a stitch monster with traces of metal stitches remaining on his body, looked at the trembling Gang Er under his command. Technician Ge shouted:

"Let those Dread Devil fools get moving, send our starship pilots to the out-of-control spaceship, and let them start the engines and come over!"

"We are already reactivating the restraints, my lord."

A Gangerg engineer shouted:

"The chaos will be brought under control very quickly and there is no need to panic."

"You know nothing!"

The molten demon leader roared and waved the heavy pliers in his left hand, like swinging a war hammer, brutally smashing his servants into pulp. He stared at the out-of-control dock in front of him with his big and small eyes, with a trace of Fear roared:

"The loss of control of the restraint is just the beginning of disaster, if those damn intruders activate the fleet teleporter again"

"But wasn't that thing moved away?"

Another Gangerg engineer screamed in confusion:

“Just after the world of Argus was pulled from its original location to this strange galaxy by damned Illidan, Lord Kingaros ordered us to store the fleet teleporter and the dock console separately.

We put it in the basement, far away from the command podium, where the intruders would have no chance of finding it.

And this damn place has no coordinates leading to other legion worlds!

Especially after the Star of Marton, which serves as a transit for the stars, was destroyed, our fleet can no longer rely on large portals to make star sea jumps. "

"Idiot! Do you think this is a good thing?"

The leader of the Gangerge Molten Demon glared hard at his talkative subordinate, and roared unhappily:

“Once the fleet-level portal without specific coordinates is opened, these unmanned starships will be sucked into it and thrown to a destination that God knows where.

Although it will not destroy the integrity of the starships, the time it takes for them to fly back through the stars is enough for us to rebuild a fleet.

But you are right.

We moved the portal controller away from the control tower. Well, the supremely wise Lord Kingaros probably anticipated this damn situation.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to save everything!

But today’s matter must be kept secret! "

This somewhat clever demon looked around at the Gangerge demons beside him. He pointed at the unlucky guy who had just been crushed by his hammer and said in a deep voice:

"If Kil'jaeden asks, just say that this idiot sucked in too much fel energy and caused the operation error, but we have already executed it."

"Boss is so wise!"

A group of Ganger demons, as weak as kobolds and as smart and cunning as goblins, cheered.

But the next moment, the demon engineer "Big Tech" remembered a very fatal question. It stared at the demon engineer who had spoken before and asked:

"When you moved the portal controller down, did you remove the most important control chip?"

"Well"

Several Ganerge technicians looked at each other, and finally they all swallowed their saliva, and each of them cursed and swore and screamed:

"It's pulled out! It must have been pulled out. We have to abide by the operating rules set by Lord Kingaros. Don't worry, boss. We'll send someone to confirm."

After saying that, a demonic technician who was obviously green-skinned but turned pale with fear rushed towards the control tower.

On the other side, in the elevator of the shipyard control tower, the devil's elevator running below the ground opened with a clang, and the traveler Zhou Zhuo, who was covering his body wounds, walked out of it trembling with a pale face.

After he and Brian separated, they went their separate ways. He didn't know what the situation was like on Brian's side, but he seemed to be lucky. The end of the road he chose was the elevator that went straight to the ground.

But Lao Zhou was not at all grateful that he had escaped the disaster of being killed by the demon.

His luck meant that the old dwarf might not be so lucky, and Brian might have been executed by the demon by now.

I lost a life and death friend.

This made the traveler feel very painful, and the injuries on his body were too much to bear. Lao Zhou felt dizzy in front of his eyes, which should be a sign of excessive blood loss.

He staggered into the basement in front of him, which seemed to be a place where demons piled debris. There were all kinds of demon engineering waste everywhere.

There was even a damaged head of a magic mecha thrown here, and a green light emitted from the darkness, which looked particularly oozing.

Zhou Zhuo was ready to take a rest.

Master Xianglong Mi who had been in his arms also raised his head like a dying snake. This little thing was beaten up by the demons in Macaire before to protect Zhou Zhuo, and he was even more injured than Zhou Zhuo. Much more serious.

The panda took a few steps and felt that his legs were weak.

He struggled to stay awake, and ended up sitting down next to a large machine covered with rags. He panted and leaned on that thing to rest.

But soon he had a strange feeling.

It was like accidentally triggering the trap left by the mogu in the Nalak'sha Engine, like accidentally breaking into the ancient snake-people pyramid in the Vol'dun Desert.

The explorer's dangerous instinct was beating, as if telling Zhou Zhuo that there was something here that he could manipulate and press down.

The injured Pandaren turned around in surprise and saw the evil pattern cloth of the demonic machine behind him falling down, revealing the various complicated buttons and joysticks on the thing.

Although it was thrown into the junk pile, this thing was still in a state that could be activated.

This is normal. The Burning Legion's black technology allows them to travel across galaxies. It is also common to create some remote-controlled devices with their own internal energy sources.

"What kind of machine is this? It looks very sophisticated and important, but why do the demons put it here?"

Lao Zhou blinked in surprise.

He instinctively wanted to stay away from this delicate thing to avoid pressing something he shouldn't.

But when he thought that his good friend Old Brian might have died in the hands of the devil, the usually gentle Lorewalker suddenly felt a surge of indignant anger.

He and Brian are just archaeologists and explorers, they are non-combatants, but these damn demons not only torture them but also destroy their very meaningful archaeological undertakings.

These destructive creatures are a cancer among the stars! Even a small amount of damage can delay their destruction of beauty.

Lao Zhou stood up with Master Mi in his arms, his eyes filled with determination.

If the console in front of you is damaged, the demons will have to waste some time repairing it, right?

Although it looks like a prank played by a naughty kid, this is the last contribution he can make to the cause of the Anti-Demon Alliance as a traveler.

"I don't know which one to press?"

Lao Zhou stood tremblingly in front of the console. He patted Master Mi on the head, grinned a wicked smile, and said:

"So let's just click them all."

Zhou Zhuo raised his hand and quickly pressed all the buttons on the console.

But nothing happened, which disappointed Lao Zhou.

Just when he was about to give up, the basement door behind him opened with a bang, and a panting Gangerg demon technician ran over. It saw at a glance that the damn bearman was touching the dangerous portal controller.

It shouted subconsciously:

"No! Don't touch that red button three times in a row! Don't touch it!"

"ha?"

Lao Zhou looked back at the goblin-like demon, a weird smile appeared on his weak face, and his bloody left paw tapped the red button three times at lightning speed.

There was a loud bang, and the vibrations were felt even in the basement.

At this moment, Old Zhou fell to the ground with a thud. He leaned on the activated controller, waved his claws at the stunned Gangerge Demon, and said:

"Thank you, my unknown kind-hearted devil friend, we will give you a medal."
