Azeroth Trail of Light

In April 21st of the Dark Portal, the breath of spring has come to an end. The gradually warming weather heralds the arrival of summer. However, in the northern border of the mainland, the latitude here determines where it will not be hot. In fact, From the thick armor and leather jackets worn by the knights patrolling in the West Dallonemir war zone, it can be seen that the power of the cold spring is still raging on this land that has become desolate.

Since the Lord Ashbringer was born at the end of last year, with the Holy Light Abbey and a part of the Silver Hand knights, he bravely regained one-third of the area of ​​West Dallonemir. This place, which was supposed to be a dead place, gradually With popularity.

But don’t expect the frightened farmers to come back. Those who can survive in this place where the undead and the human forces are intertwined are brave guys, such as those mercenaries with swords or muskets on their backs. For example, those bold businessmen equipped with many guards, such as those free knights who are not afraid of death, and some mice in the calm south of the East Continent, who are very downhearted, have also joined the team of these people who are not afraid of death. in.

Said it is "gold rush", in fact, it means to make some hard money in a place where the undead is raging.

Beginning in the second half of last year, Stratholme, a subordinate of the Knights of the Silver Hand, established a peculiar "mercenary hut" on the Sordo River in East Dallonemere, gathering a large number of mercenaries wandering around the world. We offered a reward of 1 silver coin for the undead, and also provided them with weapons and hired them to hunt the undead.

Where have these guys who generally live below the poverty line have seen such a "business"? They are not fools either. The mercenaries who have no background and support are afraid of being used as cannon fodder by these knights in the past, so most of them are watching.

But just as a group of defecting masons who could not survive in the Westfall, they were forced by hunger to take risks. After attacking a patrolling undead, they took twenty undead skulls and went to the Sordo River. The strange high elf knight threw 20 silver coins without even looking at it, and because they were the first mercenaries to accept the hunt, the Stratholme regiment also equipped them with enough weapons and even Have a bad chance.

The mercenaries are all treacherous guys than mice. Seeing others get rich, how can one fall behind?

So in less than a month, the warehouse of the Stratholme battle group was filled with all kinds of magic materials taken from the undead, as long as these things can be sent to the desperate Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, the knights can get double the reward by changing hands.

Everyone is very satisfied. The whole Sidalon Mill plus Tirisfal and Silverpine Forest, and the Gilneas don’t know what they are going crazy recently. They have been fighting with the undead in the southern part of Silverpine Forest. This ghost place has at least Nearly a million undead, there are hundreds of thousands of undead wandering in the ghost land that has been completely undead, enough to support this "special" industry to flourish for 30 years or even longer.

So soon, the front-line knights of the Silver Hand discovered a miracle: a large group of weird and tattered guys, armed with various weapons, and always sneakily following knights on patrols or battles. Behind us, waiting for the undead to be dispersed by the knights, these guys rushed to compete for the undead and bones, and even broke out more than a dozen large-scale fights for this.

This scene was quickly discovered by Tirion Fording, the commander of the Western Daron Mill Theater. Old Fording is worthy of a generation of outstanding people. In February 21, the Hand of Silver was directly subordinated to the official "servant". The "Hall of Soldiers" also opened up in the cold wind camp, and then aroused the mercenary world of the entire Eastern Continent.

Now who doesn’t know, going to northern Xinjiang to fight the undead is a good way to get money. Alsace was summoned by Archimonde and went to Mount Hyjal. The undead staying here don’t have enough commanders, so most of them are stupid. , In the face of various mercenaries, as long as the number is not too many, they can generally not escape.

As long as the fear of the undead is overcome, these natural enemies of all living beings are the cash cows of the mercenaries one by one.

Fording, who had been worrying about the source of troops, was evoked by Stratholme. Soon, the mercenaries who were awarded the title of "Silver Hand" supernumerary hunter flourished in West Dallonemere. This officially authorized organization quickly disrupted the "business" of Stratholme. The current principal of Stratholme, the daughter of General Abidis, and the loyalty of "Fire of Justice" The comrade-in-arms Miss Bridget was annoyed, and simply cancelled the "mercenary hut" on the Sordo River.

The two forces seem to have acquiesced to the division of the area. The Stratholme battle group began to attack the "business" of the ghostlands. With the permission of the new Sun King of Quel'Thalas, the number of adventurers who came here gradually increased. Especially the lucky guys can often get the rewards of magical items from the high elves. For a time, the mercenaries from the east and the west are divided into two groups, and they are fighting endlessly with each other.

The holy place of holy knights in East Dalungmir, the Chapel of Light’s Wish, as mentioned above, this is actually a small town, the most inhabited are the ascetics who believe in the light, but in the hands of silver After the "Hall of Mercenaries" opened up fiercely, this quiet town was inevitably contaminated with a hint of hustle and bustle.

Many mercenaries who have made "exceptional" contributions to the Knights are also allowed to enter here. You can't expect how good etiquette and morals the rough and poor mercenaries have. In fact, even if these pioneers make some money, They danced on the tip of a knife, and they will spend the money as quickly as possible. Therefore, even in a holy place like the Holy Light’s Hope Chapel, two or three were funded by the Knights to build on the needs of the customers. The tavern also appeared in the town.

And soon, it became one of the gathering places for the mercenaries who came to northern Xinjiang to “make a fortune”. Of course, due to the particularity of the town, those who can meet here are regarded as the “big men” among the mercenaries.

In the "Holy Sword Tavern", the warm fireplace was very hot, and the mercenaries who came and went called out to their friends, or sat in the corner and said quietly, the bankrupt nobles and mercenaries from the Kingdom of Stormwind, Tie The dwarves of Forge, even the gnomes who lost their homes in last year's "Stone Palatine Disaster", rare goblin merchants, and some weird people who shrouded their bodies in black robes.

In short, in this small tavern, the sentiments of the sentient beings are very clear. The second-rate troubadours who don’t know where the tavern owner finds them are singing the popular "Devil Slaying Hymn", which is said to be mysterious. From the elven travelers, these elves were originally liked by nobles in the human world, but this time the "Devil Slaying Hymn" is somewhat unique.

Because in this song describing the battle of Mount Hyjal, there is the shadow of human beings for the first time. The legendary paladin "Fire of Justice", who has been silent for half a year in the Eastern Continent, carries the brave First Expeditionary Army. Soldiers shined in the battle of slaughter of demons. It is said that those warriors who survived were praised by the mysterious elves.

Some people say that the generous elves have opened the vault that has been preserved for thousands of years, and the warriors can ask for it.

It is also said that the elven girls have married those veterans of the Hundred Wars. Others said that the "Fire of Justice" has become the great aristocrat of the Elf Kingdom. There were also many "elven aristocrats" in the First Expeditionary Army. "!

But one thing is certain, that is, the First Expeditionary Army was rewarded by the human kingdom of Kalimdor and the Kingdom of Theramore established by the princess of Lordaeron. The sailors in Nanhai Town all went crazy and said yes. Hundreds of soldiers were given titles and lands that the mercenaries could not even think of, and they became noble noble lords.

In short, this corps, which was unknown before departure, has become a typical representative of the "mercenary dream" after half a year.

But there are also many people who do not believe these rumors. For example, in the Holy Sword Tavern now, there is a rough man who is eating barbecue while frothing and saying,

"Don't listen to those sailors blowing up the air! Just the scum of Stratholme, it is estimated that the legs of the devil are weak! Hahaha!"

"Big Mouth Berriman! You molested the pastor in Stratholme last week and were beaten with a dozen army sticks. Now you are talking nonsense again! Watch out for the knight masters to get you in a black jail!"

Familiar mercenaries ridiculed the big guy loudly, but he didn't care, instead spreading his clothes triumphantly, revealing the silver-white "dog tag" to others, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I am also the new star of the Paladins now, the captain of Master Renault's hunter team, according to my opinion, that **** "fire of justice" is comparable to Master Renault's wise martial arts! Hey, you probably don't know yet, Renault The young master is the eldest son of the famous "Ember Messenger", and you must inherit the title in the future. You guys will continue to hang around in the mud. I might also be a knight in the future!"

"Tsk tsk, brother Berriman is really lucky! He actually fell on the thighs of the Mograine family! From now on, it seems that you will have to rely on your brother to take care of it!"

The self-contained mercenaries next to them saw the dog tag, and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and clinked glasses with this big guy. Although the mercenaries could not participate in real high-level events, the guys who can sit here are all very delicate. Generations, who didn't know, since the "Fire of Justice" took Stratholm's battle group away from Kalimdor, and after the strong rise of the Ashbringer, within the Silver Hand was the commander of the Mograine family in power.

Moreover, they can also fight. After regaining one-third of the Sidalongmir, the Mograine family has faintly become the most chaotic Northern Xinjiang family. There is even a rumor that the Ashbringer may have found a nation. Plan.

Therefore, if you can meet a mercenary who is close to a noble person, you still have to raise money to cheat, or you have a familiar face!

However, just as the proud man stood out from the crowd and continued to flaunt the wise martial arts of "Master Renault", a tall figure sitting on the bar stood up, and he strode towards Berriman, who was speaking out loud, and mercenaries blocking the way. Pushed away by him.

The mercenaries who were pushed away were not good stubbles, but when they wanted to fight back, they saw the emblem on the corners of the bearskin cloak in the figure and the blood-red giant sword on his back. They were stunned by the ale. The brainy guy immediately aroused his spirit, especially when I saw that in other places in the tavern, several guys in the same dress stood up. These mercenaries immediately sat back on their chairs like good babies. Look at the good show.

"bass!"

The big mouth Berriman was about to damage another wave of "justice fire". The sharp, murderous epee was placed on his neck, and the terrible breath of his neck would be cut off at that moment, so that Bury Man was stunned immediately, and dared not move.

But this action of pulling the sword angered other mercenaries, even the owner of the tavern. Once a tavern had a vicious accident that wounded people with an weapon, it would be difficult to open it in the Peaceful Place of Light’s Hope Chapel.

But just when the mercenaries were aggressive and planned to teach the ignorant guy a lesson, the other cloaked figures holding weird weapons blocked everyone in front of them, and cursed and walked away from the back kitchen. The tavernkeeper who came out, when he saw the figure holding the epee, stood still and did not dare to step forward.

Now, all mercenaries know that a big trouble is coming! It is definitely not an easy one to make the veteran boss with a huge background in the Holy Sword Tavern fearful!

"Dalyan...Master Dalyan, you are back!"

"Well, as soon as I came back, I heard someone slandering the Stratholme battle group... Oh no, now we have a new name, Silver Dawn!"

Dalyan stretched out his hand and took off the hood on top of his head. His delicate face had already experienced incomparable perseverance in the battle against the devil. A terrifying scar penetrated his left eye without hurting his eyeballs, but he was never hurt by this. The mercenaries who had eagle-like eyes swept back couldn't help taking a step back.

too frightening!

These mercenaries who fight with the undead the most, have they ever seen such murderous and aggressive eyes? Even a veteran can easily suppress them, not to mention the hundreds of devil lives under them. Dalyan.

"Maybe someone can dismiss the merits of Silver Dawn, but it's definitely not you!"

Dalyan retracted the blade of anger, from under the cloak, stretched out the hand armor wrapped with steel and keel, and dragged Berriman's cold sweaty mouth from the chair, and gave him a disgusted look.

"Big brother is too shameless. This kind of scum will also be recruited into Mograine's team. It is really disappointing! Now I use the high-ranking member of the Silver Hand, the captain of the Second Argent Dawn Cavalier Detachment, and Theramore. As the baron and second son of Mograine, declare that you have been cleared! Berriman, go back to your muddy pit!"

The knight standing next to Dalyan stretched out his hand and pulled Berriman's dog tag off. Dalyan threw it away, and the big man's body was thrown out.

"Also, take care of your mouth! Otherwise you won't be able to use it!"
