Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 217: Assassinating the King and Killing the Emperor
The sun gradually rose, and its sunlight shone on the oasis. The corpses scattered all over the ground and the ruins of wooden houses with the embers gradually dying out outlined a tragic scene.
Hellscream looked at the dead minotaur on the ground for a long time without saying a word. Around him were hundreds of corpses of centaurs and minotaurs.
A big bird slowly descended from the sky. It was Niga Blackhorn who finally returned with Chen Stormstout.
Niga Blackhorn looked at everything around him with an angry look.
"Damn, Great Emperor Shenwu, why do you have to kill us all? It's over, it's all over. My old village chief, why did you die? I worked so hard to increase the reputation of the village, and now it's all over." Niga Black Horn sighed as he looked at the old minotaur's corpse.
But he was a player after all, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and started searching for corpses.
With so many centaurs and tauren, even the blank equipment can be sold for some money. He specializes in this in the Tanaris Desert and is now very familiar with it.
"Hey, why is there a BOSS corpse here? Brother Xiao Ma! Well, you have come to this day too. Hehe, two blue equipments were dropped. Not bad."
Niga Blackhorn was enjoying touching the corpse when Hellscream walked towards him.
"Take me to see the Great Emperor Shenwu." he said.
Niga Blackhorn was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill him!" Hellscream growled.
He didn't know why he did this, but now he just wanted to kill someone. The anger in his heart was burning his soul, making him want to vent.
These damn centaurs are barbaric and cruel, they all deserve to die.
Chen Stormstout sighed. "What is dead is dead. Perhaps—"
"No, I have my reasons," Hellscream said.
Niga Blackhorn shook his head. "It's not necessary. The village has been destroyed. There's no point in killing him. Besides, you can't get close to him. The Emperor Shenwu is the emperor of the Centaurs. He has a million troops under his command. Moreover, he lives in Haotian City, which is a heavily guarded fortress. Even if the entire tribe wants to capture it, it will not be easy, let alone you alone.
He is a top-tier rich man, and his equipment is not inferior to yours in terms of level and rank. "
"Don't worry about that, just take me there."
Niga Blackhorn looked at Hellscream's eyes and nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I'll take you there, but I have to make it clear that I can only take you outside the city. As for what to do next, it's up to you. I won't follow you to get killed."
Hellscream nodded, "That's enough - Chen, it looks like we have to separate again. I may not meet you again this time. In any case, thank you for your help during this period."
If the orc chieftains of the tribe heard this, they would probably pop their eyes out. Since Hellscream had never been so polite in thanking others,
The panda sighed, "I understand. Since you insist on doing this, let's have one last drink. "
As he spoke, he handed the barrel to Hellscream, who immediately began to drink from it in big gulps.
Dun dun dun.
He drank several liters of wine in one breath and threw the barrel back to the panda.
"Hahaha, goodbye Chen, you are a true friend, let's get on the road, Tauren."
Niga Blackhorn carried Hellscream and soared across the sky, flying over Razor Ridge, over Thunder Valley, and across the vast wasteland.
The Barrens is worthy of being called the Barrens. The environment here reminds Hellscream of the Hellfire Peninsula. It is also desolate, but compared to the Hellfire Peninsula, there are at least signs of life here, with rivers and lakes.
Suddenly he saw a construction site. Many Centaurs seemed to be building something upstream of a river.
"What are they doing?"
"Build a dam. The Emperor Shenwu wants to transform the environment of the Barrens. To do this, there must be an abundant water source. He wants to build a dam to store water and dig ditches to divert the rivers in the Grey Valley to this side to increase the green area of the Barrens. This project has been going on for several months."
This kind of thing is really a bit magical to Hellscream. The orcs only know how to destroy a world, but don't know how to transform a world.
He found that there were still quite a few minotaurs among the people below, but it seemed that they had all become slaves, carrying bricks and wood, and a huge dam was gradually taking shape.
Countless tauren, boarmen, and centaurs were busy around the huge project. The scene shocked Hellscream inexplicably and reminded him of the scene when the orcs were building the Dark Portal.
Soon the Nushui River Dam was left behind. After flying for more than an hour, finally, a huge city appeared on the skyline.
Haotian City!
Although it is called a city, it is full of the nomadic style of Centaurs.
Countless Centaur tents were densely and neatly spread out on the open ground.
There are no tall city walls, no towering fortresses, and no magnificent palaces. To the Centaurs, those things are meaningless.
However, there is a circle of high platforms in the center of the city, from which you can vaguely see the shape of the "city".
"This is it—Haotian City!"
Nigaheijiao landed on a hill and pointed at the huge camp.
"I can't go any further. There is a powerful 'Centaur Archer' in the city that can shoot birds hundreds of meters high. I don't dare to go over and be a target."
Hellscream nodded, "This is enough."
"What are you going to do, kill your way in?" asked Niga Hejiao curiously.
Hellscream took out a piece of clefthoof cowhide from his arms, on which was something written in orcish language.
"What's this?"
"When I was in the tribe, I once fought against Triple Bloodblade of the Burning Blade Clan. Triple Bloodblade claimed that the Blade Clan's Swordmaster was the strongest warrior in the tribe. I was very unhappy about this, so we fought, and I won. This is the trophy I won from him.
It records a combat skill of the Blade Clan Swordmaster - Wind Step! I never thought about learning this move before, but now it seems I must do it. "
Hellscream muttered to himself, frowning as he looked at the contents on the cowhide.
Niga Blackhorn was speechless - so this is how Hellscream's Wind Walk came about...
In the Warcraft campaign mission, Hellscream's profession is Swordmaster, and his skills are the same as those of an ordinary Swordmaster: Wind Step, Mirror Image, Critical Strike, and Bladestorm.
But in fact, Hellscream is not a swordmaster, but the chieftain of the Warsong clan. If we have to classify his profession, he should be considered a warrior.
Niga Heijiao thought to himself, "So that's how it is." But is it so easy for these characters to learn skills?
At this time, Hellscream had already finished reading the contents on the cowhide.
Hellscream took a deep breath, raised his leg suddenly - Wind Step! He ran forward wildly.
[Wind Step: Increases your movement speed by 50% and increases your stamina consumption by 50%. ]
As he ran, Hellscream's body suddenly began to become transparent.
Hero skill——Wind and Shadowless Step!
[Swift Wind Shadowless Step: Increases your movement speed by 75% and increases your stamina consumption by 50%. When you move, your body will blend into the wind and shadow, making it impossible for enemies around you to see your figure.]
Hellscream's body disappeared in an instant.
Niga Blackhorn looked at the place where Hellscream disappeared with a shocked expression. "Is this possible?"
Hellroar was running fast, with the wind under his feet. The highest secret of the Wind Step was to completely integrate himself into the wind and shadow, invisible and colorless, shapeless and soundless.
In the past, he had always disdained to practice the mysteries of this area, believing that only those who could fight head-on were true orc warriors.
But now, he has to make a change.
The endless Centaur tents seemed to have no end. Hellscream was running wildly, looking for the person he was looking for.
The Centaur camp had a complete plan, with straight passages between the camps and countless Centaur warriors patrolling and training back and forth.
In a square, he saw groups of minotaurs being driven into iron cages. They looked like captives who had just been sent over, and there were probably thousands of them.
He also saw boarmen, harpies, ogres, night elves, and many strange creatures.
Either as a subordinate race or as prisoners, they are busy.
Found it! Hellscream's eyes suddenly tightened.
What attracted his attention was a large banner, and under the banner was an extremely spectacular golden tent.
Outside the big tent were a full one hundred Centaur War Enforcers, all level 58 elite monsters.
There are nine smaller fortresses surrounding it, where Centaur Archers are stationed. These Archers are all level 55 elite monsters.
There were also some Centaur trackers, patrolling around with hyenas.
Just by looking at the number of these densely packed elite monsters, one can tell that this place is like a den of dragons and tigers. Once discovered, even he would not be able to survive.
But Hellscream didn't care.
He quietly bypassed the centaur trackers with hyenas, patiently avoiding the patrol routes.
Finally, they entered the golden tent.
Passing through the audience hall outside the golden tent and approaching the inner tent, he saw the Centaur Emperor wearing golden armor.
The Great Emperor of God (Khan of the Empire) is a world-class BOSS of the third stage, level 90.
Hellscream couldn't see the information on the centaur's head, but he could feel the other party's powerful strength.
There were several Centaur guards in the big tent. One of them was wrapped in iron armor, with only a pair of eyes emitting faint blue light exposed. This made Hellscream particularly alert.
Shadow of War (Death Knight) World Class BOSS Stage 2, Level 88.
At this moment, the Emperor Shenwu was discussing something with a human.
Hellscream was surprised. How could humans appear in Kalimdor? He concentrated and wanted to listen to what they were talking about.
