Chapter 644 The Terrifying Train
"Okay, stop pretending."
"I know what you did to Lilith. The three of you shouldn't argue anymore. I have my own plans. If I can successfully enter the underground city and come out again, you'll all be safe. If not, it will know what to do..."
Lorraine grinned wickedly and pointed at Satyajaran.
“Azalan, you and Little Fang set up camp on this ridge. I’ll only take Godos and Yegosh into the city. The rest of you wait outside for my signal.”
"Yes... Master (Lord Death)."
......
The goblin Kaz and the night elf siblings Ishtar were surprised that Lorraine, after chatting with them, would not take either of them into the underground city.
Fortunately, no one was killed to cover it up.
The threat was obvious, and the goblin Kaz's palms sweated. He didn't know whether he should press the information transmitter he had been secretly clutching in his hand. Judging by the distance, the underground city's radar would definitely receive the distress signal.
But whether he can be saved is unknown.
The three Death Knights' evil ritual sacrificed hundreds of Kaz's elite subordinates, leaving Kaz terrified.
Beside them lay a specimen that resembled a raptor druid, or perhaps fused with the body of a hippogriff. The three prisoners were still shaken; the Forsaken necromancer before them was far more terrifying than they had imagined, and his minions alone were comparable to the Grim Reaper.
The army of the dead seemed endless. The Scourge's reputation was widespread, and every organization and individual in Azeroth with any sense understood the terror of the undead.
Moreover, in their brief exchange, Lorraine emerged unscathed, demonstrating the undead army's fearlessness in the face of death...
The prisoners' verbal assurances were so credulous that even the prisoners themselves blushed slightly, let alone Lorraine. Whether it was the irritating moisture in the air or the lingering black smoke from the nearby valley preventing the geothermal heat around the underground city from dissipating, the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning and corrosive engine oil...
They exchanged a few simple words, but couldn't get any details out of Lorraine.
The goblin and night elf siblings, however, harbored mutual animosity. The druid siblings, who had originally come to rescue him, once again witnessed the evil and shamelessness of the goblin race. The goblin Kaz himself, meanwhile, despised these self-proclaimed invincible night elf druids, who were actually no match for the combined attack of three death knight commanders.
The two sides were not originally allies; they were just being polite on the surface. Now, there's no need for pretense anymore.
......
"In that case, I wish Lord Evil Eye a safe journey. As a token of my sincerity, here is my special pass and key, which you can use in the private area. It also has a unique password. This is my way of showing my sincerity, and I hope you will accept it. Once you enter the city, you will be unable to move an inch without the pass..."
The goblin Kaz's eyes lit up, and he handed over the card and key.
Finally, he gave the Dark Night siblings a provocative glance, as if to say, "What right do you have to compete with me for my worth in front of Lord Lorraine?"
"A savage druid... a country bumpkin!"
Ignoring the goblins' arrogance and smugness,
Lorraine took the offering from Kaz, glanced at it, then turned and told Godos to hold it. She took out the 'Little Beauty' compass again, confirmed that Lilith was still in the city, and immediately put on her cloak and set off with Godos and Yegosh.
The two death knights also concealed their presence, put away their warhorses and weapons, and behaved as discreetly as black-robed acolytes.
Two black-robed, sword-wielding attendants served and protected their master. Their towering figures resembled two mountains, as they were high-ranking orc demon warlocks and shamans, their strength needing no further explanation.
With two powerful henchmen closely following behind Lorraine, he felt somewhat confident.
The three hundred Flame Squires may seem numerous and powerful, and they are immortal, but the real core of them is actually the three Death Knight commanders. With them around, they can raise a terrifying army at any time and crush everything in their path. That is their confidence.
......
Lorraine climbs the cliff; the second challenge is the underground city.
Traveling light, they entered through the main gate for three reasons: first, to find Lilith's whereabouts; second, to see what good things were in this strange mechanical city; and third, to approach the survey team and see if the Horde and Alliance survey teams were consistent with what the old tauren, goblins, and night elves had said.
Furthermore, Lorraine had a feeling that there was something he needed in this underground city...
The six magic bags given by Old Niu, the bamboo flute given by Old Chen, and the key and card given by the goblin.
Moon Spring water and all these things point to one place...
Trolls, goblins, and night elves... Tauren, shamans, and druids, what kind of parts are they this time, teacher?
My mind is a mess, ugh, I don't want to think about it anymore!
You'll know when you get there...
Well, you know what, the automated train runs pretty fast. And there's another advantage: the road to the underground city is made up of conveyor belts. Without a mount, Lorraine only needs to stand on the conveyor belts to be teleported to the vicinity of the underground city along with some ores and chests.
It would take several hours to walk there.
After all, "looking at a mountain makes you feel like you're running yourself ragged." Near this underground city, sometimes even small slopes turn out to be slopes only traversable by argali sheep upon closer inspection.
Aside from providing seemingly harmless cards and keys, the goblin Kaz recommended that Lorraine board the automated horror train that takes you in and out of the underground city.
......
The terrifying train utilizes state-of-the-art levitation technology. Although it appears to burn traditional coal and uses black iron steam power, it combines traditional magic and technology with the explosive art and alchemical transformations of goblins. This iron behemoth not only travels at astonishing speeds but can also levitate at high speeds on water, in the air, in caves, and underground...
Most of them were transport trains, with a few carrying secret weapons and special supplies. They faintly bore the emblems of tribes and the lion heads of the Alliance, but were being transported in different directions. The underground city's railways stretched from the sky to the ground, making them particularly spectacular.
This is much more advanced than I imagined; the teacher had said the adventure camp in Azeroth was.
In conventional memory, adventurers, ragged and exposed to the elements, only needed a campfire, a hearthstone, a tent, a bucket of water, and some fruit wine to make a warm camp...
Venture capital firms have always been a group of ruthless opportunists who will stop at nothing for profit. In Lorraine's understanding, most of them are nothing more than poachers, loggers, and miners...
Who would have thought that these seemingly unremarkable goblins had actually built a transit camp underground, whose actual scale and level of development were comparable to the technological fortress in the Heart of Steel?
In this light, the grandeur of Ironforge, the depths of Gnomeregan, and the prosperity of Booty Bay truly pale in comparison to this abyssal behemoth city hidden at the entrance to the chasm. The underground city's trains are fully automated, incredibly fast, some fast, some slow—just hitch a ride...
Once Lorraine enters the city, things will become easier...
At least, that's what Katz said with an earnest expression, and Lorraine was skeptical.
