Rise of the blood elves

430 [Setting Sun Pass Garrison and Fat Monk]

"There's a big curfew, Master, we didn't know there was such a thing," Lao Li replied intermittently.

It would be difficult for anyone not to be nervous when surrounded by a group of black-clad monks with unusually solemn expressions.In particular, their hands were still on the weapons at their waists, giving the impression that they were ready to draw their swords out of their sheaths at any time.

Lao Li pointed to the land spirit next to him who was suffering from the death of the yak. ​​"We all come from Jinxi Village. They are friends of the land spirit who often come to the village to do business. We don't have any ill intentions."

"Jinxi Village"

The fat monk looked them up and down, his sharp eyes like an eagle giving people a full sense of oppression.

At this time, a female panda who had looked at Old Li for a long time came from the side and said in the ear of the fat monk: "Master, he is indeed a chef in Jinxi Village. Last time I went to Jinyeji with Master Su Canzhang I saw him when I was recruiting new people.”

The fat monk nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then looked at Angmar lying flat on the ground.

This foreigner looks extremely weird. Not only is he thin and small, he looks like he has no strength, his skin color also looks like he has a disease like albinism, and he is obviously paralyzed.But his eyes were extremely bright, and he kept calmly scanning the pandaren around him, completely unafraid of the weapons in their hands, which left a deep impression on the fat monk.

Noticing the fat monk's gaze, Lao Li hurriedly explained: "We are here to seek medical treatment for him. He was struck by lightning."

"Lightning strike." The fat monk frowned. He squatted down and lifted Angmar's clothes, but found no traces of burns. His brows couldn't help but frown deeper. "This is not like being struck by lightning."

"I know it's weird but it's true. I watched a thunderbolt hit him. I was fishing in the creek next to the village. My daughter and I rescued him. He was covered in blood. Burns, there was no doctor near Jinyeji who could save his life, so we had to take him to Setting Sun Pass. Old Yak Boots helped me, but he completely healed on his own halfway, not even a scar was left, but he still couldn't stand. Get up, it may be that the bones are injured. Master, you know, things are not peaceful recently. We heard a lot of rumors about mantids along the way. We planned to walk at night to get here as soon as possible, but we met a mantid halfway. "Demon" Lao Li explained for a long time before he made everything clear.

The fat warrior monk with a solemn expression looked at Lao Li reproachfully, shook his head and said: "Bringing a foreigner of unknown origin to our clan's stronghold of defense and the location of Mingmen, I really don't know whether you are willing to help others or you are so stupid that you don't understand. "

"Hug, sorry"

Just as Lao Li was about to speak, a sharp sharp sound suddenly came from the distance.

Upon hearing this sound, all the black-clothed guards and monks were startled and looked to the east following the sound.The sharp tone reached its peak, resounding through the night-shrouded wilderness.Finally, after a loud explosion, a group of brilliant fireworks exploded in the distant night sky, which was extremely eye-catching.

It's the sounding arrow of the black-clad guard

"Dang, Dang, Dang." The moment the night watchers on the tower saw the fireworks, they immediately sounded the alarm.

The rich sound of gold and iron added two points of heaviness to the dense night.

Under the cover of night, the Setting Sun Pass is like a tiger lying between the Eternal Blossom Valley and the Terror Wasteland. Even in its deep sleep, one eye is always open. At this time, amidst the continuous ringing of alarm bells, this tiger Awakened.

The winch rotated, the iron chain rattled, and the steel gate hanging above the doorway suddenly fell, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke.

Torches were constantly lit in the camp outside the city tower, and soft footsteps were heard together, mixed with the crisp sound of a large number of armor plates touching each other.Teams of black-clad guards, fully armed, rushed out and gathered in front of the fat monk, their military appearance extremely solemn.

The time spent before and after this was only half a minute.This shows that their level of training is by no means comparable to ordinary ones. With these guards guarding the city wall, it is no wonder that the Pandaren and other races have been able to live peacefully on the land east of Panlong Spine for more than three thousand years after the fall of the Mogu Empire.

"You, you, and you, come with me."

The fat monk's expression was extremely gloomy. It was clearly a signal for help from the team that had previously gone to investigate the mantid attack.He ordered a few teams among the assembled black-clothed guards, told one of his apprentices to keep an eye on Angmar and others, and wait until he came back to make a decision. Then he took the lead and rushed towards the east.

The guards in black followed closely behind and disappeared into the night in a short time.This group of pandas were obviously fat, but they were extremely fast when running, and they didn't make a single sound, which made people feel a deep sense of disobedience.

A round face in short clothes was very round even for a Pandaren. The Pandaren monk asked someone to bring a stretcher and carried Angmar up. Then he said to Lao Li and others: "Come on, I I’ll ask someone to save your yaks.”

He was referring to Lao Shitou, the other two yaks who were already dead.

Immediately, a group of black-clad guards took them into the camp outside Setting Sun Pass. Lying on the stretcher, Angmar could only see the clear night sky with few moon stars.I couldn't help but feel confused because of the key words "mantid" and "tension" mentioned many times by the pandaren.

It is not surprising that the mantid appears at this end of the Dragon Spine. Because the guards are limited, it is inevitable that some mantid spies who spy on the defense of the city wall will sneak in. After all, they have wings, just like the mantid, there is no guarantee that the pandaren will arrive. Dread Wasteland reconnaissance information is the same.

But just one or two mantid spies infiltrating will definitely not cause tension in the situation. The city wall guards should have been accustomed to this situation long ago and have a complete mechanism to deal with it.

What's more, these mantid "agents" are so arrogant that they openly attack the black guard night patrol. Such reckless behavior is not something that agents can do.

The mantid seemed to be planning something.

Angmar first ruled out the possibility of a hundred-year reincarnation. At this time, the War of the Ancients was only four to five years away.Regarding this blank period, the official history only records the self-redemption journey of the Pandaren Emperor Shaohao to save this land. If the mantid's hundred-year reincarnation is really approaching, the official history will never leave out a word about such an important event.

it's weird

Could it be because of me? Angmar suddenly thought of this question. The mantid must be able to detect the original shadow energy of the Heart of Y'Shaarj in his body through some methods.They were drawn to it as another drained the Heart of Y'Shaarj.

But he immediately overturned this guess.Judging from the information revealed between the lines in Pandaren's words, the "tension" seemed to have lasted for a long time, which did not match the time of his arrival in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

So what is the reason?

After thinking about it, Angmar came up with a guess that he thought was more reasonable.

As a remnant of the Dark Empire, the Mantid are far more intelligent than the Qiraji, and are completely different from the silithid, who are inextricably linked to the former aqir, but eventually degenerated into a low-IQ species. different.Their civilization was so advanced that it rivaled another branch of the aqir growing in the north: the nerubians.

The arrival of the Ancient War is not a secret. Many forces or individuals who possess supernatural power have predicted its arrival.Perhaps the mantid is also vaguely aware of the approaching evil, and the many races on the Panlong Spine are their biggest enemies. In the impending crisis of annihilation, they must prepare in advance and learn about each other's intelligence to prevent the enemy from being annihilated in their own race. Taking advantage of the disaster

The Pandaren, who were also worried about the approaching catastrophe, also took the same action. Both sides took each other's behavior seriously. In this way, driven by bad expectations for the future, they surrounded this insurmountable wall. , it is not surprising that the situation continues to heat up

"This is it. I will have people bring bedding and water for you to use for the night. There will also be doctors to diagnose and treat the injuries of this foreigner. Please understand that the current situation is special and we cannot risk letting you enter the Setting Sun Pass."

After taking everyone to a food storage warehouse, the round-faced monk said apologetically and then left.Only two guards in black were left standing guard at the entrance of the warehouse, staring at everyone fiercely.

The warehouse is filled with food.There are mountains of rice bags, carrots that have grown bigger than pandarens nourished by the water of Eternal Blossom Valley are neatly stacked one after another, and there are all kinds of giant vegetables including turnips, which look like round ones. White radish.On the shelf in the corner, there are condiments such as onions, ginger, garlic, and rows of large vats underneath, which seem to be used for pickling pickles.The sound of water in another drainage tank also indicates that there are probably some river fish in it.

"What about our yak? Can we go see the old stone?" Cousin Yak Xiang said suddenly.

The round-faced monk shook his head, "I'm sorry, you can't leave the warehouse. We will take good care of that yak, don't worry, that's right."

He suddenly remembered something and waved to the black-clothed guards, who placed several cloth bags full of things in front of everyone, "Please don't mind, in order to eliminate potential threats, we have just conducted a thorough inspection of your belongings. I hope the search didn’t mess them up.”

After that, he smiled at everyone and left the warehouse.

Yak Zang sighed regretfully, looked at his cousin and father with a grimace, and almost cried, "The weeds and Maomao are dead, and now we are trapped here again, what should we do?"
