"Huh!" Magni suddenly appeared from a clearing. He held on to the support frame in the cave and gasped for air. "This... feels like someone is strangling my neck."
"This is different from the mage's teleportation. It is normal for the living to be uncomfortable with it." Alsace followed closely and appeared next to Magni.
But compared to the slightly embarrassed Magni, Alsace was obviously more at ease and didn't have any adverse reactions.
The dwarves of Ironforge have always boasted that they have a will stronger than rocks, but this strange feeling cannot be solved with will.
It was a physical discomfort, just like drowning a person in a pool and fishing him out when he was about to drown. Magni almost thought that his long-dead father was waving to him.
"I don't want to experience this kind of transmission method a second time." Magni calmed down for a while before finally getting rid of negative symptoms such as weakness and retching.
When he raised his head and looked forward, he found that Alsace was already standing in front of the closed metal door. The bronze-like door was carved with exquisite reliefs.
"Why are there no Dark Iron Dwarves here?" Magni picked up his war hammer [Fearbreaker] and began to look around at the situation.
He didn't see any living Dark Iron Dwarves, but instead saw the corpses of many dead Dark Iron Dwarves.
These black iron dwarves died in different ways. Some were torn into several pieces by brute force, some were pierced by extremely rough stone weapons, and some had their heads disappeared without a trace.
The blood stains on the cave walls and on the ground that had dried for a long time and were partially buried in the dust showed that these black iron dwarves had been dead for a long time.
"Uh oh...it doesn't look like they died happily."
Even though the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Bronzebeard Clan had a feud, Magni was not happy to see the miserable death of these dwarves.
Killing the enemy and torturing the enemy are completely different things. No normal dwarf would be excited by seeing such a sight. These black iron dwarves were probably tortured extremely horribly before they died.
"It's the Troggs... Only these savage monsters in this cave can defeat the team of Dark Iron Dwarves." Arthas caressed the bronze door for a moment, then turned around and said, "The number of Troggs is huge. Less, otherwise the Dark Iron Dwarves would not give up on the ruins right in front of them."
"There are twenty or thirty Dark Iron Dwarves who died here, and judging from the blood stains that spread all the way to the outside of the passage, the losses caused by the Stonejaw to the Dark Iron Dwarves are definitely far more than that."
Magni analyzed, "But this may be good news for us. We can avoid running into the Dark Iron Dwarves for the time being."
"It may not be as good as we thought. The Dark Iron Dwarves will never retreat easily. There is probably more than one entrance to such a large underground palace." Arthas took out a mana crystal and buried it in Among some debris.
This can be regarded as leaving a space mark that allows the mage to sense the location of the entrance, so that Ironforge can directly teleport the expedition team here.
The reason why Arthas did not bring those dwarf royal guards with him is also very simple. They are not yet able to quickly recover their combat effectiveness like Magni after experiencing a death walk.
Although Alsace had detected in advance that there was no soul reaction in this area, he was not sure that this area was absolutely safe, so he could only bring Magni to investigate the situation first.
As he expected, Magni was also a little weak from the side effects of death walking, but his strong body allowed him to recover quickly, and he regained his fighting ability in just tens of seconds.
Even if there is danger, Alsace can easily buy enough time for one person to recover, but if he takes other people with him, Alsace may not be able to guarantee everyone's safety.
"But what should we do now? This door... doesn't look so easy to open." Magni walked to the tall metal door, tried to push it with his hand, and found that the door did not move at all.
What makes Magni feel strange is that apart from the exquisite reliefs that can be called works of art, there doesn't seem to be any trace of magic on this door. There should be a mechanism that can open this door.
"According to my experience, such a door should have a button or lever such as a mechanism for us to open it."
Magni looked left and right, trying to find a protrusion or a place that looked like a button to allow them to open the heavy door.
"Yeah?"
Alsace also tried to push the door, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to have figured out how the door worked.
While Magni was still searching for some possible starting device, he only heard a heavy creaking sound. With the sound of the metal shaft turning and the door rubbing against the ground, the dusty door was opened again. .
Magni was stunned for more than ten seconds. He stared at Alsace and asked, "Did you find the button?"
"No."
"Then how did you open it?"
"I just pushed it away."
Push away? !
These two simple words almost made Magni jump three meters high. "Are you kidding me? Open this door? This is no thinner than the door of Ironforge's throne room!"
Magni had not tried it just now, but the feedback from his hands made him understand that this door could not be shaken by his strength alone, and it might not even be possible for any mortal to shake it.
And he didn't notice that a human, who was inferior to a dwarf in terms of pure physical strength, actually told himself that he had pushed the door open? !
"Alsace, King of the Mountain, I even suspect that you are transformed into a giant dragon - with that strange magic and your power, what kind of monster did my brother teach?"
The outspoken dwarf couldn't hide his true feelings when only two people were present, but Arthas didn't care about such a title.
Because if you really want to say it, to mortals, he is indeed no different from a monster, and he can't even be regarded as a living thing in a certain sense.
Being able to open this door is also thanks to the terrifying power brought to Alsace by the "Incarnation of Titan".
As for the reason why it is called the Titan Incarnation instead of the Iron Vyku Incarnation, it is also very simple. Iron Vyku is too ugly, and even the Iron Vyku may be far less powerful than Alsace.
The first time he pushed the door, the familiar feel told Alsace that the "person" who originally designed this door should have designed the simplest "lock".
This can't even be called a lock, because it is very simple to open this door, but it is also very difficult, that is, a strong enough force.
People like Arthas, the Titan Guardians, or those created steel soldiers, their power can easily open this door.
Therefore, Alsace felt that maybe after Magni activated the gods to descend to earth, he should be able to open the door with some force. However, Magni obviously did not expect this. His inertial thinking made him think that he needed a key or It's the agency that opens the door.
However, this "key" is actually brought by some special groups.
The moment he pushed open the door, Alsace realized that something was really activated and was sending a message to the depths of the underground palace.
That is definitely the "doorbell" left by "Azadas", the builder of Uldaman and one of the Titan Guardians. Any outsider who opens the door of Uldaman will pass the message to him in the underground palace.
However, the Guardian allowed himself and those creations to fall into a deep sleep in Uldaman, hoping that one day those companions would discover the truth and identify the true betrayer, but forgot to take into account the passage of time.
This long slumber has lasted from an era before civilization to today's era of numerous mortal civilizations. It is conceivable that when the guardian was disturbed and woke up from his slumber, he saw a group of creatures contaminated by the "curse of flesh". When entering the underground palace and destroying Titan creations, the first reaction is definitely to fight back.
Because the gap in iteration is too huge, when the two sides of exploration and sleep collide, there is almost no room for discussion and communication, and the only option is to fight.
Although this "Oolong" battle ended in the victory of the "Explorer", when the self-righteous adventurer opened the last door of the underground palace and figured out the truth of the matter, he was surprised to find——
They are not warriors who defeated the evil guards, but a group of reckless people who do not know the truth.
The guardians who attacked them did not become crazy because they were awakened from their long sleep, but simply because in their time, there were no such races as humans, dwarves, orcs, not even elves.
Facing unknown intruders, they triggered the defense system of the underground palace and invaded the deepest treasure house. As a guardian, Azadas naturally believed that these people were real invaders and enemies of Titan.
Coupled with the immature and irrational views on flesh and blood creatures, this resulted in an almost irreconcilable conflict between the two parties, which cost the guardians their lives who did not need to die.
On the one hand, there are mortals who are eager to solve the crisis before them, and on the other hand, there are guardians who have rigid thinking but are determined to defend their mission to the death. This has triggered the conflict between the two.
Now, the door to the underground palace was opened by Arthas, and the information that outsiders entered Uldaman was once again transmitted to the guardian's resting place.
…
Khaz Modan, northwest of Dun Morogh, among the mountains behind Gnomeregan.
The floating city of Naxxramas is floating in the clouds on the top of the mountain, and the generals of the Scourge are planning an action against Gnomeregan.
"His Majesty's decree allows us to deal with the underground creatures that are invading the dwarf city, and we cannot reveal too much information to the living." The Archlich explained the current situation concisely.
"Underground creatures... the spider demons can make these inferior races understand who is the real king of the underground." Anub'rakan rubbed his sharp claws, "We will be responsible for cutting off the escape route of these dirty creatures."
"Since they cannot be exposed to the sight of mortals, we can only find a way to intercept these troggs from the source." Orgrim held his chin, "The death knight can establish magic circles and barriers with the psychic. If everything goes well, we can infect these creatures with the plague and turn them into our weapons."
"Plague, Doomhammer, you are really not afraid that these deadly things will be leaked out and turn those cute little dwarfs into brainless zombies!" Varimathras waved his hand and responded to Orgrim's proposal. Not optimistic.
"Demon, don't be too arrogant, if you don't want to become the next Mannoroth." Grommash took a step forward. Although Orgrim had been "persuading" him to surrender, he was once a member of the tribe. He will still speak for Orgrim.
"Hmph, you orcs are no different than that brainless fool of Mannoroth - you can use the Doomhammer and the Plague, but you'd better consider the pros and cons. Those fragile mortals can't get any of these things. "
Varimathras's cynicism did not make Orgrim feel embarrassed. Instead, he thought about it seriously.
The Dread Lord is right. Once the plague spreads to the Stonejaw monster, it actually becomes uncontrollable. After all, from the moment it was created, this dangerous power was not for control, but for unscrupulous control. diffusion.
"We need samples. With specific samples of the trogg, the psychics should be able to create a 'special medicine' specifically for this creature." Orgrim glanced at Kel'Thuzad, "I will bring it first Let the Death Knight hunt down a sufficient number of samples."
"I'll ask the psychics to hurry up, but it's best not to have any special expectations. The vitality of these underground creatures is very strong. It is always very difficult to achieve a plague that can affect them without affecting other lives. "
Kel'Thuzad nodded slightly. If he wanted to quickly reduce the number of troggs, plague was a very good choice, and the strong vitality of the troggs meant that even if they were infected by the plague, they could still run around and kill these deadly monsters. Something spreads.
However, they are not the only ones who want to eliminate the troggs. The dwarfs who are fighting with the troggs are also very likely to become victims of the plague. Therefore, before deciding to use this power, you must do everything possible. Prepare.
"I will provide you with help and information in the floating fortress, and Anub'rakhan and his nerubian troops will convey the underground situation to Naxxramas as soon as possible."
Kel'Thuzad threw several soul crystals and distributed them to the generals of the Scourge, "Use this to contact me at any time, and I will inform you of your mission and other information through this.
By the way, if you encounter trouble, throw this crystal out and my magic will harvest those fragile souls.
No need to skimp, this thing itself is ready for war, and I'm...interested in the souls of these wonderful little guys. "
The Arch Lich's cold wind-like voice blew into the hearts of every Scourge warrior. They knew very well that as the dark blades of the Lich King, they were about to truly show their edge.
