Chapter 946 1. Draenor's Lizardman Attack (Part 1)

What Velen told Anduin in the Ulduar camp about the recent unrest in the world of Draenor actually happened more than a month ago.

Moreover, the scale and influence of this incident are much more serious than the Prophet's understatement, but considering that the Prophet did not witness those weird lizardmen attacking Draenor civilization with his own eyes, so his inaccurate description , it's not really a mistake.

About the time the dwarves found the city map of Ulduar, in another world connected by the Dark Portal, an ogre caravan traveling between the Nagrand Grasslands and Gorgrond was attacked. The attack, the scale of the attack was not large, the attackers were not even able to break through the line of defense of the ogre guards, and were repelled by the fierce ogre on the spot.

No one noticed this at the time. Under the rule of Dark Blade, the overall order of the Draenor world tended to be good, but in border areas like Gorgrond, small wars between races have always been It has never stopped, especially the conflict between the more savage ogres and the tiger tribe that was forced to migrate to Gorgrond, just like the frequent village fighting, there is no way to sort out the clues.

But on the third day after that night attack, the ogre caravan that repelled the attackers was attacked for the second time when they approached the Zangar Marsh, and this time, they did not hide away...

When the Broken tribe of Zangarmarsh found the last traces of the caravan, all the Broken hunters were terrified by the terrible scene.

According to them, beside the icy swamp, the corpses of every ogre in the huge caravan were incomplete, as if they had been intentionally bitten by some wild beast, full of traces of revenge, but However, the goods stored in the caravan were carefully selected. Those violent raiders were wise, and they only took away some items that might be useful to them.

It is worth noting that, judging from the traces at the scene, the massacre was carried out very neatly, and the whole process may not have exceeded 20 minutes. It is hard to imagine that in the world of Draenor, any race can be killed within 20 minutes. The powerful and savage ogres were defeated, and some strange weapons and armor fragments were released at the scene. They were rough metals, which proved that those attackers had the habit of wearing armor and could smelt metal by themselves.

The frightened hunters of the Broken Ones immediately reported the news to the death knights stationed in Zangarmarsh, and after the death knights inspected the scene, they sent the news to the guardians of the northern border of Draenor. The lord Celent Firewing was there, but this news was withheld, and this matter was gradually forgotten.

But soon, there were frequent incidents of port robbery in all places near the sea in the entire Draenor continent. Some weird, lizard-like creatures rushed into the port in a canoe in the mist, plundering various Commodities, defeated the defenders, and then left in a stolen ship. With the frequent occurrence of port raids, the true colors of those raiders from outside the sea were also known to the civilized races in the world of Draenor.

That's the Lizardman...

Their appearance is very similar to that of a large lizard walking upright. They are tall and strong, with sharp claws and thick hard scales. There are some bony cuticles on the bright scales. The eyes of these guys can communicate with They turn like lizards, but there is a vicious and intelligent light shining in them. They seem to be hierarchical, have a complete social civilization system, have their own language, and even seem to have some kind of weird...belief.

Every time these guys plundered, they were carried out under the command of some lizard officers who wore armor and held heavy weapons. The low-level infantry did not wear armor, but were issued rough and hideous metal weapons. During the looting, these lizardmen also dispatched war beasts similar to pterodactyls that could fly in the air.

It is hard to say whether the lizardmen are native races of the world of Draenor, because the main civilization of this small world, that is, the era when the civilization of the orcs developed to the extreme, they did not travel around the entire world, but according to the According to the Draenei people who have lived in the world for more than 200 years, there is only one main continent in the world of Draenor, which occupies one-third of the world's surface area, and the remaining two-thirds are endless oceans. There are indeed many islands above the ocean.

Maybe these lizardmen are the creatures living on those islands, or...they were brought from another world by some force.

For a time, along with the frequent port raids, there were various conspiracy theories that shook the world of Draenor, and the spearhead was directed at the Dark Blade Legion, which ruled the world of Draenor.

But before the spokesperson of the Dark Blade Legion in the world of Draenor responded directly to these vicious conspiracy theories, those oppressed civilizations had no time to argue about these things... because those lizardmen who rushed out of the sea, It has begun to enter the mainland on a large scale.

That means, the war...begins!

—————————————————

On the coastline of Terokkar Forest, a black turbid current is rolling from the endless sea to the port on the coast. This is a commercial port built by the exiles of Shattrath City. One of the most important transfer stations for commercial trade in the Arakkoa Kingdom, where the elite soldiers of the exiles are stationed all the year round, it is also a very important part of the commercial system of Shattrath City.

But now, the port is facing a dire crisis.

"boom"

A heavy, double-edged weird golden war sword covered with metal spikes fell down. This ferocious weapon engraved with various weird symbols easily broke the blade of the ogre guard in front of him. The tall ogre who was hit by the force kept retreating, and in front of his eyes stood a terrifying monster wearing golden armor and a snake-shaped battle helmet.

Its erect height reached an astonishing 4 meters. The golden armor covered the lizard man's heart and chest. The skin exposed outside the armor was covered with strange white scales. It held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Behind it, a tail full of spikes flicked left and right, and the tailbone covered with bone spurs was like a small warhammer.

The white lizard man stood on the beach with his thick legs, and his cold blue eyes shone with the sinister light unique to reptiles. He looked at the ogre in front of him who was constantly retreating because of fear, and with a hoarse, A voice similar to that of a poisonous snake spit out a letter. It spoke the common language of the awkward Draenor world. The words were not clear, but it was barely understandable. What it said was:

"Stupid hot-blooded creature..."

"You're blocking... the big plan!"

"boom"

The ferocious war sword smashed down like a war hammer, and the terrified ogre raised his arms to try to block the blow, but the lizard man in front of him was not an ordinary soldier, and the power he possessed could even be called "strange power". The heavy battle sword was chopped off, and the ogre's arms, as well as his head, heart, chest, and ribs were smashed into a disgusting mass of flesh and blood.

The warm blood splattered on the lizard man's face, making his expression even more ferocious, but the loss of life in front of him did not make this powerful lizard man feel the slightest fluctuation of mood.

It swung its tail, like a whistling battering ram, hitting the chest of the Broken Assassin who was trying to attack behind him, and smashed the life with short limbs and rickets like a mouse into the icy sea water. The next moment, that The Broken still tried to rise to the surface, but in the dark cold tide, in the deep sea behind it, countless black creatures were rushing towards the surface.

Those are lizardmen warriors who hold spears and don't wear armor... Each of them has the same cold mind as their leader.

They are chosen creatures!

They were born with a sacred mission!

The meaning of their existence is to remove all obstacles for the big plan!

"For the big plan!"

Above the sea, on the deck of the stolen ogre merchant ship, one wields a sword embellished with Apexis crystals, wears armor, has a strange metal ring on the back of the head, and wears a white bone crown. , the lizardman general who carried the bone lizardman battle flag on his back shouted in his hoarse voice:

"Clean the world!"

Under its roar, the tens of thousands of lizardman warriors who rushed into the beach and port became more fanatical. They used their spears, knives, and even their own sharp teeth and claws to start a bloody battle with the trapped enemies in front of them. Crazy fighting... These lizardmen do not take prisoners. This has been known by all the guards guarding the port in the previous port raids, so there is no possibility of relaxation between the two sides.

Either win or die!

"Send the news back to Shattrath City! Quick!"

Major Draenei, who was stationed at the port of Terokkar Forest Coast, swung his warhammer and smashed down a lizardman soldier who rushed into the city wall. While the blood was flying, he turned around and shouted to the arakkoa wizard beside him:

"I can't keep it here! There are too many of them!"

As soon as the major's words fell, a strange big bird flapped its periosteum-covered wings from the lizardman's plundering fleet and rushed into the sky. It was a strange pterodactyl, which seemed to have been transformed by some kind of evil magic. , its body became bigger, like a blood-red bat flying across the sky, amidst the howls of that weird sharp head, the lizardman sky knights riding behind it held high the bone battle flag, just Like a vanguard in the air.

Soon, the battle for the sky over the port also began. The Void Ray Knights of the Shattered Sun Air Force, which still had a little bit of air superiority, were forced to withdraw from the battlefield by the pterodactyls of the lizardmen.

Those crazy beasts jumped down from behind the pterodactyls, jumped into the city walls and ports, and started burning, killing and looting crazily. This scene made the guards standing on the city walls extremely desperate... All their resistance was meaningless up.

Ten minutes later, the heroic draenei major had his legs broken and was dragged before the lizardman general. The lizardman general was holding an Apexis crystal sword, and he looked at the prisoner in front of him with cold eyes. , it will not accept it into the great lizardman army, and the reason why it is spared is only because the heroic posture of this warrior deserves a more glorious ending.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of lizardmen officers, the lizardman general raised the saber in his hand, and said to the panting draenei major:

"You are not the first warrior to fall in front of us, and you will not be the last! Your death is a doomed part of the grand plan... Feel this supreme glory!"

Major Delaney, who was in a pool of blood, watched the tragic scene of the entire prosperous port being drowned in blood and fire. He closed his eyes in pain. Before the sharp blade was added to his body, he shouted with his last strength:

"You lunatics! There's no big plan...you're crazy!"

These words caused the lizardman general's eyes to grow cold, and the sharp blade in his hand whizzed down:

"Stupid disobedient!"

"swish"

While the blood was almost hot, the lizardman general lifted the head of the draenei, looked at the burning city, and raised the saber in his hand:

"Must get done...big plan!"

"We never forgive, we never stop, we have no mercy..."

"Warriors of the Lizardman... Cleanse the world for the sake of the big plan!"

"Roar!"

This cry caused tens of thousands of lizardmen on the entire beach to raise their weapons. Those crazy roars seemed to shake the land. In the roar of those lizardmen, the turbid current of war did not stop for too long. Soon, they set off again, moving forward in one direction.

And there... is Shattrath City!

"They're not bad, right?"

On the top platform of the Dark Temple that has returned to the world of Draenor, the Grand Lich Anastarian Sunstrider is presenting his latest work to the Grand Lord Tyrion, while watching the coast of the Terokkar Forest The great lord of this war nodded quite satisfied.

"Well, not bad, not bad... Although these strengthened cold-blooded creatures are not as good as my legion, they are barely enough to join the inevitable doomsday battle, but I am very curious, my archlich, you How are they enhanced, and how are they controlled?"

Tyrion rubbed his chin. He recalled the lizardmen living in Azeroth's Pandaria continent. The lizardman army in front of him was obviously stronger, tougher, and more destructive than those lizardmen. The firm belief that lizard people do not have, the power of blood strengthens their bodies, and that weird "big plan" strengthens their hearts.

This made the Grand Lord very curious, and under his inquiry, the Grand Lich turned sideways and made a "please" gesture:

"Then come with me, High Lord."

"Let me show you the whole thing...the so-called, big plan!"
