Chapter Nineteen - The Dying World
…………
The Curse Land
"Stand by! The warriors of the tribe! It's not far away!"
In the midst of the noise, Grom Hells roared particularly clearly. Those who heard his shouting were shocked. Lexus turned around, and the left axe cut a big hole in the neck of an alliance warrior, while the right axe cut another enemy straight from his shoulder to his waist. Beside him, the wolf warrior Halasa roared forward and rushed forward with his huge jaw biting the arm of another warrior. At the same time, Lexus heard the chewing teeth, broken bones, human yells, and the sound of the opponent's long sword falling to the ground. Halasa let go of his broken arm, jumped forward with lightning speed, biting the opponent's throat.
Lexa looked sideways and saw Grom Hellscream, the chief of the War Song clan, waving the blood roar that kept screaming. The other War Song warriors followed the chief, and their fighting roars together formed a war song of destruction and death.
Lexus is one of the few people present who do not belong to this clan, but that is very common to him. He does not belong to any clan. At least, he does not belong to the clan under any tribe. He belongs to the Moknasa ogre tribe and is famous for his independence. Due to their small number and the ogres constantly competing for the residence of Blade Mountain, their lives have always been difficult. Lexus has always wanted to tell his father, Leulox
, news about the orcs establishing the Dark Gate, the Moknatha clan, who is always threatened by ogres, will have the possibility of opening up a new world for inhabitable life. But in Leolox's view, Lexus just doesn't want to stay in his birthplace and doesn't want to fight bravely to protect his hometown. The two have the same purpose, both to help their tribe. But in the end, Lexus chose to follow the tribe and thus cut off relations with his father. Now, Wolf Warrior Halasa is his only relative.
But no matter what, he is still so unique.
Another human fell. Lexus looked up and saw his height advantage that allowed him to see further than other orc warriors. Grom was right - they were not far from the gate of Darkness. Between him and his hometown, there were only about a hundred human warriors still fighting stubbornly. Lexus smiled and raised two short axes. In front of him, this soldier was nothing.
"The orcs rushed back!" Kudland dodged a spear and ordered other griffon knights to keep a high enough distance!
The human soldiers underestimated the amazing will and courage that these orcs showed when they were desperate.
Grom has decided that they must return to their hometown. No clan will pass through the gates of darkness to help them. However, although they are still a powerful team, their number is gradually decreasing, while the number of alliance soldiers seems to be increasing. Moreover, some people have made a decision to abandon them on the continent of Azeroth. Whoever it is, Grom Hellscream will never give up the opportunity to return to his hometown because of betrayal. Lexus once said that he wanted to go back with Grom and face the person who made such a decision, the one who betrayed them.
A human knight rushed towards him, holding his long sword high, and the shield was tightly guarding him. However, the soldier did not count Lexus' height. Lexus's hand and axe hit the opponent's shield heavily, and another axe struck the opponent's sword aside. The huge impact of his battle axe made the shield sink deep, and the opponent was also thrown off the horse's back. Lexus raised his two axes, allowing the opponent's neck to be penetrated by the axe blade. He smiled grimly on his face, and with a roar of war, he pulled the two axes out of the human body and crossed the dead soldier with his legs. The unmanned war horse turned around and hurriedly fled Harassa's fatal bite.
"Those orcs rushed over!" Kardga shouted.
"I saw it!" Turayan's eyes were traveling back and forth between the Dark Gate and the tribal army, but he understood that this was not the time to be entangled. "Someone must stay here and stay." Talema was beside Aurelia and Nathanos. "I will send some soldiers to garrison at this valley entrance, but someone needs to lead these soldiers, and give them to you, Nathanos, and...Aurelia."
The human and the elves nodded at him at the same time, Turayan was relieved. "Others..."
He fell silent and looked at the ready expeditionary forces, and there was a cruel fact before him that no one really wanted to pass through the gates of darkness. He had to admit this.
"Well," Turayan said. "We all know our duties. It was a voluntary expedition. If any soldier did not want to cross to Drano, he could leave now."
Danas nodded, he stood up first, came to Tulayan with a slogan in his mouth. Kadega gave Tulayan a sure smile, although the Paladin did not give a smile. He whispered to Kadega, "Thank you."
Kardga replied in a low voice, "There is a part of my heart, the part that led me to be a wizard, full of curiosity about the unknown world behind the gates of darkness."
Turayan nodded with difficulty. He didn't know if Kadega's curiosity would bring death, but now he could not regret it. "Okay, now we have to take the initiative to face the orcs. This is good for everyone."
"Son of Lothar!" he shouted. "We used to fight side by side. We have experienced casualties, failures and victory. Now we are going to face the unknown." He saw the look of Kadega staring at him and smiled softly. "We must attack the orcs and stop them so that they will never become our threat again, forever. For the Alliance!"
He raised the hammer in his hand, and it began to emit a white glow. Everyone began to cheer. He would lead an army through the gates of darkness and into a completely unknown new world.
Tulayang turned his horse's head, kicked his mount, and headed towards the gate of darkness. When he came to the gate of darkness, his horse hesitated, but Tulayang tightened the reins and forced it to move forward. The constantly rotating light in the door seemed to be summoning him. He passed through the gate of darkness. At that moment, the green flash in the door exceeded the dazzling white light on his body. Then, he disappeared completely.
Nathanos and Aurelia watched as soldiers disappeared before their eyes, murmured: "May the light of their faith bless them!"
"Al diel (all the way)" Aurelia sighed.
Nathanos had turned his head and glared at the orc who was still struggling in front of him. Today, this originally blood-red land will be full of bloody smell!
A cold traction echoed on Tulayang, like a powerful stream of water pulling him. At that moment, darkness, starlight and various strange colors mixed in front of him. Then, he began to materialize, and the warm air warmed him.
Bright... It's really bright here. Tulayang raised a hand to cover his eyes. It's very hot! A dry and ruthless heat hit Kadega, which seemed to have a physical body. Kadega blinked and then took a breath.
If the dark gate they had traveled through before was completed in a hurry, then the huge portal in front of him now was obviously the exquisite masterpiece of the orcs. Tulayan was standing on the stone at this moment, and compared with the dark gate in front of him, he seemed so small. Two huge stone statues with hoods towered on both sides of themselves, and many braziers burning with dark flames shone around. Two pillars with flames on top stood on a strange road.
