Chapter 463
These men had been standing here for hours, and in the eyes of the warriors and watermen who were desperately battling the power of the sea, the warlocks hardly moved.
Seawater soaked their bodies.
The thunder was deafening, the falling lightning nearly blinded people, and the boats swayed wildly, the other orcs clinging to the oars to hold their positions.
Many orcs looked at Gul'dan and the warlocks in panic, but due to the power and terror of the warlocks, even under the violent sway of the ship, the sailors held their posts.
Moments later, a stream of flames and smoke erupted from the water not far from the bow, and smoke filled the air.
Through the grit and steam, they could see that something was coming out of the water, like the beak of a chicken that had broken its own eggshell.
The thing looked like a rock, but what happened next left the orc warriors stunned as they watched.
The thing got bigger and bigger and quickly emerged from the waves, water and lava running down the top of the stone. What was just a small stone quickly turned into a large stone, and from the large stone into a small plateau, the plateau turned into a small stony flat land.
Other parts also emerged, rising from the sea not far from the first, but they were connected together, and when the sea receded from above, the orcs could see an entire island emerging from the bottom of the sea. , still spewing flames, dust, and steam.
Another slightly smaller island also emerged, followed by a third and a fourth.
Finally, the sky above turned from a swirling crimson back to its usual leaden grey, and the waves receded, slowly to the height of the masts of large ships.
Gul'dan opened his eyes, and he walked staggeringly, leaning against the railing to rest like a small group of other warlocks. The spell cast just now had almost exhausted himself even a powerful legendary warlock like him. strength.
He raised his head to look at this newly-appeared archipelago. The island was still exuding steam, and with the roaring sound, it gradually formed a new form.
Seeing this, Gul'dan laughed.
"Soon." He whispered, looking at the island in front of him and feeling all this with his own consciousness, calculating where the place he was looking for was. "Soon, I will take you to the temple I am looking for, where the rare treasure lies."
If Ye Ting or Aegwynn were here, they would definitely recognize the temple in front of them.
That's where Aegwynn sealed the powerful corpse of the Demon King after defeating Sargeras - the temple in the Broken Isles known as the Tomb of Sargeras.
Chapter 0600 The pursuit of the black hand
Gul'dan's guess was right. Orgrim had indeed arranged for someone to hunt down his betrayal.
After returning to the camp in Arathi Highlands, Orgrim finally heard from Saurfang of Gul'dan's good work.
Leading the army that escaped with him, Gul'dan returned to the main camp in Arathi Highlands before Orgrim - Orgrim didn't understand how he did it, perhaps because of some spell. .
After returning to the main camp, the cunning warlock falsely claimed that he had broken out and came back for help, and needed to bring someone to support Doomhammer, which was surrounded by the Alliance, and then secretly took away the Raiders clan with this order, missing his whereabouts. where.
Soon, another news came from the Horde's dock in the Wetlands: Gul'dan returned with the Raiders and grabbed a few remaining warships and headed west.
For such a traitor, Orgrim naturally wants to find someone to capture him and give him due punishment. However, with their troops in the Arathi Highlands, they can only handle the alliance. Gul'dan and the Stormreaver clan would not have that extra power at all.
In the end, Orgrim could only give this task to the brothers Red Blackhand and Maim Blackhand who stayed behind.
The two brothers readily took orders, and they led the warriors of the Blacktooth, the Blackhand Brothers' independent clan from the Blackrock clan, on the battlefield, following Gul'dan's direction.
...
The sea in the west of the Eastern Kingdom, on the ship of Brother Blackhand.
"I saw them," a warrior shouted. "There they are, the island!"
One of the two chiefs of the Blacktooth clan, Red Blackhand, looked in the direction the orc pointed, which was exactly what they had seen when they approached, near the area where the waves and storms were rolling like crazy.
He saw a thin light rain falling on the island ahead, and looked westward, where some black figures were gathered.
"Fine," he said, nodding and gripping the handle of his battle axe tightly.
"Speed up," he said to his men. "I want to get close to them before they have a chance to find a hiding place."
On another ship, Maim issued a similar order.
"What if they use spells against us?" asked one of his young warriors.
Many people nodded in agreement. It was the only thing they feared, even far more than the fear of being caught by the Alliance or eaten by the black dragons of Blackrock Mountain, and it was hard for Red to say their fears were wrong.
He himself did not approve of attacking Gul'dan and his men.
However, this was an order from Doomhammer, and no matter how dissatisfied he was with the warchief, Redd had to do his best to carry out this order before he was able to overthrow him--
Xu to die.
"Their spells are really powerful," Red said. "Gul'dan himself could easily kill three or four of us in a matter of minutes. But he needs time, or physical contact or getting close enough, or holding some of the victim's body that works for him thing."
Having said that, he pretended to be relaxed and laughed.
"Did any of you lend the chief warlock his own water bag, a pair of iron gloves, or a whetstone?"
The reassuring words made his men laugh as he wished.
"So, when we encounter these warlocks, just avoid them, don't let them get away, don't let them touch, and surround them before they cast spells."
He tapped his axe to emphasize: "Apart from the spells, they're just orcs just like us, they bleed and die. It's no different from hunting ogres in our hometown - any of these guys are Stronger than us, but we can still work off him in small groups and kill him in the end."
His warriors nodded. Understand what Reid meant, and now in their eyes, spells are just another weapon, and they are not as scared as before.
However, only Reid himself knows that the real Gul'dan is not so simple. In addition to the fel attack from a distance, the life-sucking spells of contact, and some curses, he will have more and more powerful power.
If they knew that these warlocks had just used magic to forcibly surface an island, they would never have dared to make such a hasty judgment.
"It will be here soon," announced the helmsman to them.
Red looked behind him along the side of the ship.
The island suddenly appeared to the side, and Red felt that the new land was enormous, much larger than most islands he had ever seen in this world, judging by the size of the ship.
There were many small boats dropped from the ship docked on the shore, and he could clearly see the orcs jumping from above and entering this dark and damp continent.
Red struggled to control his emotions and gave the order: "Prepare to land, and when we get there, target the warlocks. Kill anyone, anything, in our way!"
...
"We've got company. (Someone's following us!)" Cho'gall said to Gul'dan, pointing in a direction.
Their little boat had just come to the shore of this surface of the continent.
Because it was forcibly lifted by magic, the island is still shaking from time to time. Although the steam has gradually dissipated, there are still flames and lava spewing out from time to time.
Gul'dan looked in the direction his assistant pointed. A fleet was approaching the island from afar.
From the way the lead boat traveled, Gul'dan could tell that it was using a human oars, which usually meant only one thing: the owner of the boat was an orc.
That is, Doomhammer's forces have found them.
"That goddamn fellow," Gul'dan cursed. "Why does he always make decisions so quickly? If they come a day later we can finish all the plans."
