Dark Portal November 11th, Shopping Day, oh no, it's Singles Day on Earth.
This is not a holiday in Azeroth, but late at night, there is already a tense atmosphere in Watchtower.
Not only Nethergarde, but also almost every sentry tower near the Dark Portal was on high alert. All soldiers changed shifts every two hours.
"Hey! Corporal, wake up! It's level one combat readiness now! Do you hear ?" Below the watchtower, the Alliance officer on horseback woke up the dozing soldier.
Corporal Randall smiled and said, "Lieutenant William, don't be so neurotic. Look at this cursed land ahead. We have been guarding it for almost two years. There is nothing here that we need to seal off. Besides, isn't Prestor watching right now? Isn't he, brother?"
Another soldier who was on lookout nearby uttered "hmm" in response.
Although Lieutenant William looked unhappy, he had no choice but to agree. In the past two years, from the initial fear to the subsequent calm, nothing had happened here.
There were no orcs, no demons, not even animals. Except for the occasional round stone that was blown by the strong wind and rolled around on the red ground, there was not even a ghost here.
But he still looked a little uncomfortable.
"Randall, maybe you are right," he admitted, wiping his face with his gloved hands. "But please understand, even when we first arrived, Deputy Commander Edmund only ordered us to a level three combat readiness, which was almost like a vacation. But now it's level one! Two people in a group are on alert at the sa ti, do you understand? From the second half of this year, we can enjoy fresh seafood. What's the reason? Isn't it because seafood can improve night vision? Otherwise, the master above would not be so kind to let eat such fresh sea fish."
"Okay, because of the deliciousness of the sea fish. Oh! I can't imagine that the sea fish shipped from more than a thousand kiloters away is still alive." Randall stood up and carefully used the monocular telescope to look at the Dark Portal in the distance.
Thanks to the developnt of the military industry, telescopes that were once only equipped by generals are now equipped with two on each of the 12 watchtowers surrounding the Dark Portal.
The two soldiers looked ahead of them.
By the light of the fire in the brazier placed in a special place,
They could still clearly make out a tiny light in the air flashing behind a pile of rubble. The crack was very narrow, about one man wide and two n high. They had been told that the crack was the remnant of the Dark Portal, and their duty was to guard it here.
Lieutenant William rode away with a few patrol soldiers.
Corporal Prestor spoke up: "I have to say, this job is pretty easy. I get paid three tis as much as a soldier of the sa rank, and I just have to watch a hole that won't move. If anything happens, we can just blow the alarm and run away. And we can change shifts in an hour."
William was about to say sothing else, but then he stopped. His eyes, which were leaning against the telescope, suddenly widened and he whispered, "Look there!"
With the help of the fire from the braziers that had been placed in advance, they clearly saw sothing coming out of the distorted light gate. In the firelight, the shadows of those things were cast on a huge curtain wall that had been erected in advance behind the light gate. The huge figure and the long fangs looked particularly ferocious.
"Woo——"
"Did you hear that?" Prestor e reminded his partner. At the sa ti, in his field of vision, one green-skinned giant after another revealed their true faces.
"Damn it! That's the Terraga's warning signal! We're not seeing things! It's the damn Horde! Those evil greenskins are coming!" William rushed towards the horn hanging on the baffle of the wooden sentry tower behind him like crazy.
"Wuwuwu——"
One trumpet sounded, two, three... twelve!
Imdiately afterwards, a huge beacon fire was lit on a watchtower a little further behind, and the alarm was sounded.
"Wuwuwuwuwu——"
After fulfilling their duties, every Alliance soldier on the watchtower imdiately jumped off the watchtower as quickly as possible, untied the reins of the horses they were going to escape, and rode away.
On the wall of Nethergarde, Turalyon, Lothar's lieutenant, was patrolling. Suddenly he stopped and hushed to the other soldiers around him.
The group of people stood there for two seconds, holding their breath, trying to hear sothing.
Then, Turalyon heard it.
The alarm sound coming from the wind first sounded like the low groan of a giant beast just awakening, and then imdiately turned into a warning roar.
"I want the magic mirror of the Dark Portal!" Turalyon imdiately called out to the mage on duty.
The middle-aged wizard was chanting spells in a hurry. When the image ca from the wizard's eye that had been arranged long ago, Turalyon looked at the space crack in the image and took a deep breath. The cold wind that penetrated his lungs almost made him lose the ability to speak.
The crack widened!
"Ring the alarm! Level 1 alarm, the enemy appears!" He waved his arms excitedly and called the guards in the bell tower.
But the young guard, obviously a new recruit, froze in fear.
"For the sake of the Holy Light! Don't be fucking dazed at this ti!" Turalyon couldn't help but pull out the hamr on his waist. He threw the Hamr of Wrath directly and hit the huge alarm bell.
Hamr of Wrath does not have any special effect on intact creatures or dead objects, but as one of the few long-range attacks of the Paladin, it is almost the sa as hitting them with a hamr.
"Dang——" The loud noise finally woke the guard up. He suddenly summoned up all his courage and shook the hemp rope that connected to the clock like crazy.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" The bell of war rang!
Next to the command room of Nethergarde, Anduin, who was already sleeping lightly, suddenly opened his eyes. His two servants jumped up and hurriedly tied the armor that had been prepared long ago to their commander.
When Anduin Lothar arrived at the command room fully ard, he found that his deputy Turalyon, Danath Trollbane, Muradin Bronzebeard, Haas, and Krasus, the mage representative, and a large number of other people had all gathered there.
"Report the situation!"
Turalyon looked west with great admiration, that was the direction of Karazhan: "Deputy Commander Edmund's prediction is completely correct. The Horde is coming. The latest news from the thieves of SI:7 is that there are confird death knights and more than 2,000 tribal warriors. The preliminary judgnt is..."
Listening to Turalyon's report, everyone was thinking that the completion of Nethergarde Fort was really tily!
