Chapter 3 - Hozen Tribe
………
As soon as they landed on the land, Sylvanas felt bad. The Silver Covenant was not here to visit, she and her soldiers were on the mission. But they encountered difficulties in the first step. How should we go? The alliance does not have a map of Pandaria.
Find a safe and hidden space to station; guard the ship; don’t act rashly before I come back; use magic crystal to contact you if you have anything to do.
Some soldiers were left behind, and Sylvanas led people deep into the jungle. The climate here is somewhat similar to that of Yongge Forest, but the things you see cannot be found in the same place. Towering conifers and straight and slender node-like plants, crisscrossing forest paths, and there are directional signs to guide the road from time to time, but Sylvanas and her people don't know a word.
In order to prevent them from getting lost, they must leave marks along the way. The problem of being unable to distinguish the direction is still not solved. Sylvanas was wondering whether he should ask locals for help, but language barriers are another big problem?
Thought blurred, but Sylvanas heard someone calling her rank. She raised her head reluctantly. A scout was waving to her.
"General Ranger."
By interpreting the expression on the scout's face, she was glad that she finally gained something, although the situation may not be optimistic.
"Report your findings," said Sylvanas.
The scout stopped, and the fatigue on his face was wiped out after hearing Sylvanas's order.
"We found a tribe of locals." He thought for a while, but felt something was wrong, and changed his words: "No, it's a group of monkeys. They have their own villages and weapons."
Sylvanas stared at him for a moment, trying to understand the awkward words that sounded. "What's wrong with those... monkeys?"
"They are different from the monkeys we've ever seen, General. And they caught General Taylor."
Admiral?
"are you sure?"
The other soldiers immediately became nervous when they heard the news that the senior commander of the alliance was arrested.
"Confirm, General Taylor is unconscious and is locked in a cage."
Sylvanas tightened the bow in his hand. Jaina asked her to find Anduin before, and now the general responsible for protecting the child was right in front of her.
"It seems we have to worry about it. The Silver Covenant is ready to fight."
The scout led the way in front, and the female elf's troops followed behind.
As the road was halfway through, there were ominous sounds of gongs and drums. This felt very similar to the trolls in Yongge Forest. When those green skins were performing some sacrificial activities, there were indeed traces of people moving on the road: footprints were everywhere on the messy green grass, and the surroundings of the destination were full of wooden stakes left by cut down.
Sylvanas's sharp eyes swept from time to time to time to the village located deep in the jungle. She could already see the corners of the house.
"There is there, General."
The female elf crouched beside the scout with a serious expression. On the way she came, she suspected the scout's words and thought he had read it wrong. And everything in front of her proved the wrong person was herself.
The scouts truthfully reported the facts that they were a group of monkeys, but they were very different. They were numerous and could build houses and use some simple weapons. The most exaggerated point is that they also had mounts: a kind of jungle tiger.
"General, we have many enemies and are few. How big do you think the gap is?"
"About five, six to one," she finally replied. The silent air seemed to be heavy. If we included the troops she stayed at the landing site, there would be no such gap.
"Where is Taylor?"
The scout pointed in a direction, but Sylvanas saw nothing.
"I can't see this place, General. The location of my investigation just now is deeper."
"Stay the others, take me there..." Sylvanas heard the sound of a broken branch coming from above her head. As her mind turned, she pulled out the dagger hidden in her boots and threw it out, flying towards an enemy who had already discovered them.
The guy who was hit was barely wearing armor? He had only a few leaves hanging. It was obvious that he wanted to hide in the lush woods in this way. This move was quite bold, but it was useless now. Sylvanas's dagger teared its neck.
At the same moment, a covenant ranger's arrow penetrated the monkey's head? He died.
It was too late? They were exposed. Several monkeys noticed the commotion here, pointing in the direction of the Silver Covenant hiding, howling at their companions.
“They found us.”
"I saw it." Sylvanas replied coldly. Dozens of ape creatures rushed over clamoringly. The female elf knew that there were more behind them.
"They have no ranged weapons. Triangular formations..." General Ranger commanded, aiming at the place where the sky was not covered by shade. "...Push ahead and head in the direction where Taylor was imprisoned. Beware that they attacked the trees."
Sylvanas stood in front of the formation? She posed a bow, shot an arrow, and then repeated it. Immediately, seven monkeys were shot through their eyes or throat and died. The enemies fell down one by one like flies. But they were not scared to escape, and they rushed up without fear.
A monkey riding behind a jungle tiger holding a spear made of knotted plants? Thrust towards Sylvanas.
The female elf turned her head and dodged. A hole was cut. But she caught the spear? She skillfully turned the spear tip? She returned to the beast.
The monkey was pierced through the chest, but the tiger did not stop. The female elf thought that if it was smart, she just needed to hide and wait for the battle here to end, and the ground was full of its food.
But it only cares about the prey in front of it.
The beast passed through a few branches and then jumped suddenly. Sylvanas seized the opportunity to pounce. When the sword fell, the force of this slash was not strong? But it was accurate? The blade was extremely sharp. In the few breaths after the head was cut off, the tiger was only confused by the rolling scene in front of him.
As he went deeper into the hinterland of the monkey village, Sylvanas felt that the defense range was being compressed.
“Increase the firepower.”
Those who execute this order are mages in the team, who are protected by rangers in the middle and release spells after spells faster.
"General, here!"
Without the need for soldiers to remind him, Sylvanas had seen Taylor, who was locked in a cage, lying on the ground, his face pale.
"What's the thing next to it?"
Following this reminder, the female elf saw the second creature on this continent that she was incomprehensible - a fish-headed and human-body species. It was obvious that he was also a prisoner.
