Chapter 141 Hunting the Ogre(1/2)
Chapter 141 Hunting Ogres
Sir Lothar, who had observed the daily practice of the high elf rangers, quickly came to the terrace at the top of the cliff tower and used a telescope to check the situation in the Searing Gorge.
What Sir Lothar saw through the telescope was a huge rift valley with a flaming bottom.
There are many active volcanoes on the mountains on the edge of the rift valley.
This results in magma always flowing on the ground.
The broken earth, magma flowing everywhere, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be burning.
It was the firelight of the magma that reflected into the sky, dyeing the white clouds into fiery clouds.
Except for the Dark Iron dwarves who have high fire resistance, no normal creatures can live in the Searing Gorge.
The name of the Burning Steppes in the south sounds more serious.
However, there are relatively good places there where orcs and ogres can live safely.
He originally thought that the Burning Steppes was already very bad.
The chocobo, running at high speed with its big wings spread, soon came to a huge extinct volcano.
Compared to the Searing Canyon, there is almost no intact area.
Usually attached to arcane and fire powers.
Even if they had troll blood and their bodies could regenerate quickly, they would not be able to survive.
The interior space of the steam tank is very large, and the seats can be folded down so that people can sleep on them.
But that’s dozens of arrows per person!
Even a thick-skinned ogre cannot withstand such terrible injuries!
After deciding on a shortcut plan, Sir Lothar rushed back overnight.
On this endless deserted plain, as long as the final direction is correct, the driver can drive however he wants.
The extinct volcano is located at the corner from Redridge Mountain to Blackstone Mountain and is an important transportation hub.
The skin of the ogre is very tough and thick, and the fat layer is also very thick.
That was laid out by the orcs at great expense in order to pass through here.
But who knows if it will collapse if you step on it?
However, when Herard actually started to excavate the Blackstone Mountains, he still encountered some minor troubles.
Instead, Herad, who was standing at the entrance of the tunnel, was observing them through the eyes of the mage.
However, due to the influence of the underground magma pool, the exit is located halfway up the mountain.
There used to be many humans and Dark Iron dwarves living there.
This was the main factor why Herard wanted to take a shortcut.
Their goal today is to attack the largest gathering place of ogres in the Burning Plains.
Those bean sprouts riding big birds don't seem to be easy to mess with.
The Burning Plains, which has a relatively good environment, is great for practical training!
Although the largest military strongholds have been destroyed, small orc armed forces still exist.
And in those blocked places, there will still be high temperatures seeping through.
Looking at the steam tank retreating, Herad and Alleria planned their next action.
After a few complaints, Sir Lothar asked Harad to open a tunnel across the Blackstone Mountains.
And there are temporary enchantments on the arrows.
If someone watches from a distance, they will find that the mountain has suddenly shrunk.
The narrow part is only about 20 kilometers long, so it can be easily opened.
Only a thick enough layer of earth and rock can isolate the scorching heat from the underground magma pool.
Two hundred and dozens of high elf rangers rode out of the valley on chocobos and headed south in a mighty manner.
Those ogres wearing black armor can't be harmed by arrows.
Under the double protection of thick skin and fat, it is difficult for arrows to damage vital parts.
This is the fastest route back to Stormwind City, and it is entirely in Sir Lothar's interest.
The steam tank, which doubled as a troop carrier, drove across the vast land of the desolate land with its headlights on.
Herard stamped his feet, and all the khaki light on his body melted into the earth.
As it gets closer to the Burning Plains, the earth and rocks become hotter and hotter, and fiery cracks appear from time to time.
Building a twenty-kilometer tunnel is just a way to warm up.
Alleria suggested going to the Burning Plains to conduct practical training for the rangers.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the Searing Canyon was even worse than the Burning Plains!
So he solemnly thanked Harad.
When encountering dry river beds, they can also experience the pleasant feeling of gliding.
With the help of the clairvoyant earth spell, the tunnel did not deflect at all and reached the intended position perfectly.
Build stone bridges where lava flows, and block fissures in the flaming lava with stones.
Then the upper layer of the mountain he was on softened and flowed down like a mudslide, forming a huge slope straight to the ground at the entrance of the tunnel.
Because this is for dealing with trolls!
The sudden collapse of their compatriots made other ogres hesitate.
They are usually in a hazy state. They only care about what they will eat today and have no intention of looking at the distant mountains.
Since it is a huge plain, road traffic is no problem.
At present, they are still living in a state of confusion.
The Chocobo Knight appeared nearby, attracting the wandering ogre.
Near the Redridge Pass, you can see the ruins of many burned houses.
Although the Blackstone Mountains cut the continent in half, its width is not very wide.
But ogres are not all weaklings.
Both are more advanced Titan creations.
The Burning Canyon, a scar on the earth, is only accessible through the winding mountain roads on both sides of the canyon.
The ogre seemed to be still intact, but the inside of his body had been completely destroyed.
Although it doesn't seem like a big problem.
They are hesitant, and the high elf ranger will not be polite.
The high elf ranger troops, all equipped with flying armor, are moving very fast!
It seemed that the chocobo was carrying them away, but in fact the chocobo took the advantage.
After all, Vrykul are tall and powerful, they are super warriors born specifically for fighting!
As for the gluttonous, fat, stupid ogres, they are only worthy of being the practice targets of the high elf rangers.
Now most of them are in the ogre's belly.
It would be great for smoking meat!
Those cracks that lead directly to the magma can be forcibly blocked with earth and rocks.
There are also some wild animals there that can also be used as hunting targets.
The side of the Blackstone Mountains near the barren land is normal.
But when it will be burned through again, it's hard to say.
It is equivalent to the relationship between humans and Vrykul.
In any case, there is no need to leave this Searing Canyon.
Even if they were hit by several arrows, they would not take it seriously and continue to fight the enemy.
The harsh internal environment of a tunnel created in such a place can be imagined!
Heading straight south from the valley where the tunnel is located, you can reach the Redridge Pass, which is currently controlled by the orcs.
Go through the tunnel into the Burning Steppes, then go south to attack the pass leading to Redridge Mountain.
After understanding how bad the Searing Gorge was, Sir Lothar put down the telescope helplessly.
"Then please ask the advisor to take action. Once Stormwind City is recaptured, we will definitely be richly rewarded!"
The news that the camp near Black Rock Mountain was completely destroyed has not yet reached here.
