32. Move on to the big plan(1/2)
Having probably guessed the Assassin's League's hunting target, Blake couldn't sleep well that night.
Mainly because the enemies we are about to face are too powerful.
Juggernaut.
This is a special title among the orcs, and you can tell from the name that it is an honorific.
Only those elite warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles and mastered swordsmanship to the highest level are qualified to challenge this title.
But Sword Master is actually not just a title.
They possess mysterious powers. In addition to possessing extremely powerful bodies and superb swordsmanship, sword masters also have the same stealth capabilities as assassins.
And a magical mirror clone.
Walk like the wind, death follows you.
Among the orc clans, only the Burning Blade clan masters the secret technique of training sword masters.
The Burning Blade Clan is also rich in shamans. They communicate with the elements and inject special power into the sword master's blade. In the past thousands of years of orc civilization, being able to become a sword master is definitely the greatest honor of an orc warrior's life.
.
Unfortunately, with the collapse of civilization in the world of Draenor.
The traditional power of the shaman has been completely replaced by the emerging shadow warlock magic. Without the power of the shaman to communicate with the elements, even the Burning Blade Clan cannot train more sword masters.
And as the dark door opens.
The Burning Blade Clan also followed the trend and drank the blood of demons. Following the Horde army to Azeroth, the Chief of the Burning Blade Clan, Old Dahl. The Triple Blood Blade led his clan to conquer the north and south, overcoming many difficulties for the tribe.
.
They are the sharpest swords in the hands of the current Horde Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer.
More than a month ago, when the orcs landed in the Hillsbrad Hills, it was the Burning Blade Sword Masters who tore through the human defenses head-on and invaded Nanhai Town, winning an advance position for the tribe to land.
It can be said that the target chosen by Ravenholdt is quite challenging.
But there is also a strategy.
If we can really kill Old Dahl, the chief of the Burning Blade Clan who commands all the Blade Masters, and then find a way to disintegrate the Burning Blade Clan, then the orcs will not only suffer a terrible loss of offensive power, but also have their military morale greatly damaged.
The alliance can also use this victory to inspire people.
the most important is.
Since the beginning of the war, a very exaggerated number of human commanders have been killed by the swords of the orc sword masters. These elite warriors are masters of tactics and are proficient in beheading operations.
If they are not defeated, the human army will definitely suffer horrific losses because of them in the upcoming decisive battle.
There are Ravenholdt assassins on the human side.
There is a swordmaster from the Burning Blade clan over there, and the two are simply at odds with each other. It’s no wonder Ravenholdt sees the Burning Blade clan as a thorn in his side.
Compared to Blake stripping away the Assassin League's informants, the Fire Blade Saints' behavior of assassinating the battlefield commander is a real provocation and must be countered with the strongest possible response!
Early the next morning, Blake was thinking about how to say goodbye to Major Blackmore. After all, he had promised the major to fight in his army.
But before Black could think of a reason, the major's apprentice Oridon came over and invited Black to the major's office, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
"Oh, what a pity. I was still looking forward to setting foot on the battlefield with the 'Orc Killer' and reaping victory."
In the office, the major in heavy armor handed Blake a transfer order with a look of regret on his face.
The latter glanced at it.
The signature was found to come directly from the royal family of Stromgard.
With the seal of frontline commander General Danas Trollbane, "Orc Killer" Black Shaw was recruited by name and sent to garrison in the small border town of Stannblad in Alterac.
That city happened to be on the edge of Icewind Hills, where the hills bordered the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
No need to say more.
This letter must have been written by Ravenholdt.
To give Black an honest reason to leave Durnholde Castle, it seems that the agreement Black reached with the Major a few days ago was not hidden from the eyes of the Assassin League.
At the same time, this is also a subtle announcement to Black. Ravenholdt has more than seventeen spies installed in the castle.
Perhaps there are people from the League of Assassins around Major Blackmore.
"It seems that I am not the only one who has noticed your talent, Mr. Black. Now you have also been noticed by General Danas. If you perform well, maybe you will be on the same level as me next time we meet."
Major, I'm really sorry.
However, he could not disobey the orders from his superiors. He could only pretend to be reluctant to say goodbye and personally sent Blake out of the castle. He also generously gave Blake a horse.
It happened to be the one given to Nathanos before.
Because the bronze dragon reversed the timeline, this good horse is still safely in the major's stable.
"Mr. Major, there is no need to be sad about this separation."
Blake got on his horse, pulled up the reins, and said to the major in front of him:
"If we still have a chance to meet before the end of the war, I will definitely fulfill my promise and fight side by side with you.
If I am still alive after the war, I will definitely come back to Durnholde Castle and buy you a drink. I really feel at home here.”
"Hahaha"
Major Blackmore smiled generously and said no more. He just gave Black a military salute and watched him leave.
At the entrance of the castle, Auriden Perenold was also waiting anxiously.
Seeing Black riding towards him, this noble son from a branch of the Alterac royal family took the opportunity to deliver supplies and handed Black a rolled-up portrait and the enemy's information.
The latter put it into his horse pocket and said to Oridon:
"After you receive the good news, don't forget to store the 'gift' at Dangarok Castle. I will pick it up, but Auriden, I don't like others to default on their debts.
Although I left.
But I still have my ‘eyes’ by your side. I wish you great success in the future and success in life, my friend.”
After saying that, he waved to Auriden, pulled up the reins of the horse, and led the croaking little fish-man into the road ahead, heading northwest.
Icewind Hill is a bit far away from Durnholde Castle.
Four days, including the monster hunting in the middle, was still very stressful.
He must speed up.

"Black-hearted bastard!"
Four days later, at dusk, Blake, who was riding a horse, was trekking on the mountain road at the intersection of the Eagle's Nest Mountain and the Alterac Mountains. He let the horse move forward slowly while cursing in a low voice.
It's not because there was something wrong on the road.
In fact, the journey went smoothly, and the hunting of orcs and other targets went smoothly.
The real problem is that in order to prepare for the upcoming big operation, Blake spent all the experience he gained in hunting in the past four days on improving his rank.
If you don't dedicate a soul to the Queen of Hades for four days, the consequences will be serious.
He touched his forehead with his hand and glanced at the translucent character card. The status bar changed again:
Character Card: "Soul Hunter" Derek Proudmoore (Blake Shaw)
Class: level 19 pirate/level 5 ranger/empty
Status: Mortal body. Hell messenger. Far traveler - lone wolf. Death curse (effective after 22 hours and 23 minutes)
"asshole!"
Blake cursed again.
The clear effective time behind the death curse is jumping every second, which represents the impatience and malice of the Hell side, and also means that the tolerance period of the Hell forces is only five days.
If Blake cannot continue to show his "worth", his soul will be recycled.
The question is, have all the souls given before been fed to the dogs?
This Hela is really an unreasonable lunatic!
"After this whole mess in Northern Xinjiang is over, it seems we have to find a way to get rid of Hela."
The pirate assassin sat on the horse and squinted his eyes as he thought:
"If it weren't for the fact that the soul-inducing lamp is still useful, this mad dog-like collaborator should have been abandoned long ago. He is so greedy and short-sighted. No wonder no one in the entire Azeroth wants to be friends with Hela.
Maybe I should find a way to meet Odin, transform into a kid, and kill you bastard!"
But Blake is just having fun talking now.
Hela's level is really not something he can resist now. It is a power above a demigod and is the best in all of Azeroth. He can rely on his own memory to play with the inexperienced bronze dragon.
But when the power gap is as big as it is now, the role of strategy has been infinitely weakened.
He breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and stopped looking at the death countdown.
