Chapter 33 Exploring the Mist Area
The invasion of the orcs so far is still just a small fight.
And their harassment doesn't make it past Deadwind Pass.
There's nothing nice about Deadwind Pass, just a rugged mountain road that leads to the Black Swamp.
This natural barrier firmly sealed off the orcs.
The chaos caused by the invaders has remained at the level of regional conflicts.
Even if Horad explained the situation to Stormwind now, they would not take the orcs seriously.
Is this how you destroy a whole world's race?
Then can we destroy the world?
The ruler of Stormwind City is very pioneering.
If it hadn't been for this unexpected intruder, he would have been ready to attack the jungle trolls in the Stranglethorn Valley in the south to harvest more fertile land.
These green-skinned muscle rods ruined his plans.
But the green-skinned muscle stick is a good opponent, and it’s good to use for training!
Conflict hotspots on the front lines have become military training grounds.
After pacifying these bandits, he is ready to send his troops south to conquer Stranglethorn Valley and create supreme hegemony!
This king, who would most likely be stabbed in the back by the half-orc Garona, was still full of ambitions to expand his territory.
Herard had no solution for this.
The Bronze Dragon keeps a close eye on the chosen ones, fearing that they will not follow the set script.
All possible leaks of secrets will be nipped in the bud by the bronze dragon.
King Ryan was completely unaware that in the eyes of onlookers, he was just a man destined to die.
In the King's Hall in Stormwind City, King Ryan was reading the information sent by his subordinates.
The information in his hand was quite complete. The intelligence department bought it from a dwarf thief.
Small men like dwarfs and goblins are very suitable for thieves.
They can find many more hiding places and infiltration points than a normal-sized rogue.
But the biggest advantage of these two races of thieves is that they are good at engineering.
Engineering glasses with powerful reconnaissance functions, and various remote-controlled gadgets to assist reconnaissance.
So they capture more.
If the fog hadn't shrouded the Black Swamp, the dwarf thief would have been able to take pictures of the Dark Portal that connects the two worlds.
King Lion paused for a moment at the center of the dwarf thieves' circle.
"Mist, this is indeed a problem. But there is really no way to solve it!"
This layer of fog in the Black Swamp is very special and will greatly interfere with intruders.
Even a strong man like Medivh could not break through this strange fog.
Considering that the dwarf thief was quite capable, King Ryan decided to let him try.
He called for the head of the intelligence department.
"We bought this intelligence service. We hope that the exploration of the foggy area will be successful."
Stormwind City's intelligence department has not yet formed a large scale.
The main source of intelligence is obtained from scouts in the army.
The scouts had already tried to explore the foggy area.
But if you go in, you will be confused, and you will even be killed by the patrolling orcs.
They had long given up hope of exploring the foggy area.
There is a dwarf thief who is offering a high price to explore the foggy area. Of course, the scouts want to see how the other party achieves this goal.
The dwarf thief didn't care that so many people were following him.
Anyway, he didn't enter the foggy area personally.
Seeing the dwarf thief taking out strange things and assembling them, the scouts couldn't figure out what he was doing.
A weird coil device, a groundhog made of mechanical parts, a metal box.
But when the dwarf thief opened the metal box and controlled the mechanical marmot through the control device inside the box, the mystery was finally solved.
"It's so flexible! It's a bit difficult to catch it."
"Its eyes are like a camera, and it can transmit what it sees to the screen inside the box."
"It's safe for a little thing like this to enter the foggy area."
The scouts were discussing the high technology of the dwarf thieves. The highest technology that humans are currently exposed to is cameras and video cameras.
And it is not accessible to ordinary people.
Those expensive shooting equipment are toys for dignitaries.
These scouts can be borrowed temporarily, which is regarded as limited contact.
As for this kind of shooting equipment that can transmit shooting images from a certain distance.
It’s something that ordinary people can’t even imagine!
Watching the mechanical marmot running into the foggy area and carefully exploring inside, the scouts were very envious of the dwarf thief's equipment.
A scout tentatively asked the dwarf thief for the price.
"Sir, how much does this set of investigative equipment cost?"
The dwarf thief did not hide it, but announced the price generously.
"It's not very expensive, only a hundred gold coins."
He allowed outsiders to watch the exploration process, and selling equipment was the main purpose.
"One set of equipment costs one hundred gold coins. It's so expensive! It's enough for me to work for ten years!" "
Look at your modest income. You don't pay for this thing."
"If one hundred gold coins can change a life, this is still very valuable. What a bargain!"
While the scouts were discussing the price, the mechanical marmot had already entered the foggy area several hundred meters away.
Due to its small size and lack of life, the orcs were completely unaware of this little thing.
Instead, the poor terrain of the swamp forced the mechanical prairie dog to take frequent detours.
Those rivers full of silt, mechanical marmots will get stuck in them.
"It's really troublesome! The terrain here should be replaced with a wooden shell!"
The dwarf thief carefully controlled the mechanical marmot to climb over the bridge.
The orc standing guard on the bridge just turned his head and could see something in the corner.
Fortunately, the guy was busy picking his feet and didn't want to look around.
There are many rivers in the swamp.
If every bridge is guarded by orcs, the infiltration work will be very difficult.
Soon it was time to cross the bridge again.
Looking at the orcs guarding the bridge, everyone's hearts dropped.
The green-faced savage orc with fangs was picking his big yellow teeth with a tree branch.
Judging from its casual look, it was obvious that it had been doing this kind of thing so often that it had become numb.
After weighing it in his mind, the dwarf thief decided to give up and continue deeper.
He spent a lot of time controlling the mechanical groundhog and finally reached the outer area smoothly.
"It seems that we still need to upgrade our equipment!"
Before he could relax, a warg stared at the mechanical creation in action.
Although it couldn't understand what it was for, it didn't stop it from catching it and taking a look.
A warg can run with an orc on his back, and is about as big as a horse.
However, although this guy was huge, his movements were not affected.
Catching a little one is easy.
The dwarf thief controlled the mechanical marmot to hide around. Just when he was about to be caught by the warg, a sharp arrow was nailed to the warg's back, interrupting its attack.
This is when the scouts came to the rescue.
Fortunately, the place where they encountered the enemy was at the edge of the fog, otherwise the scouts would not have dared to take action.
The warg, who had been hit by an arrow in the back, was not seriously injured and rushed towards the scouts with his teeth and claws open.
However, the scouts are all hunters, and what they are best at is hunting wild animals.
With several scouts joining forces, the Warg had no chance of making a comeback.
Soon the giant wolf fell to their arrows.
When its owner came to find it, there was only a pile of processed residue on the ground.
