Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Under the leadership of Trixie, everyone landed safely next to a forest high on Mechagon Island.

Being upwind here, the disgusting smell of the river was finally blown away.

After seeing the expressions of disgust on everyone's faces, and Little Xingxing even holding her nose while talking, even a very social mechanical dwarf girl felt a little embarrassed.

After all, with such a mess in my home, I always feel embarrassed when guests arrive.

She tried to explain and said to everyone:

The wastewater river was not like this before. When the king was not crazy, our urban sewage would be filtered and processed before being discharged into the river and eventually into the sea.

There is also an underground crude oil lake in this river. It is a black God-given liquid that ensures the operation of the entire Mechagon. At that time, we all called this river 'a gift from nature'.

But the recent riot destroyed Mechagon's sewage system, so we escaped from the city through the sewers.

Then the river became like this.

You don't care what kind of king you are?

Little Xingxing pinched her nose and shouted:

This river seems to be the only large water source on the island. If he just allows pollution like this, does he not want the lives of the people under his command?

Well

Trixie glanced at her mechanical body and really didn't know how to explain this problem to Little Star.

A normal person should know by looking at the posture of the mechanical gnomes that these self-transformed little guys do not need drinking water and food to maintain their lives.

This kind of water pollution is considered a serious problem in other places and countries, but it is a trivial matter here among the Mechanognomes.

They were actually more concerned about the pollution of the oil lake than the pollution of the river water.

Water can be evaporated and purified from seawater, but if the crude oil is contaminated, the city will shut down.

Hey, Captain, what are you going to do?

After complaining about the bad environment, Little Xingxing turned around and saw Blake grabbing the spirit string longbow and heading up the hillside with great interest, seemingly preparing to hunt.

She shouted something, and Blake said without looking back:

“I’m going to kill the raven.

I heard. I saw through prophecy that the big raven here stole the key to a precious W-type motorcycle prototype during the city riots.

If I can get that thing, I can have my own motorcycle.

Quack

The little murloc at Black's feet was also waving the messy pistol in his hand, which he had taken from the old dwarf Hemet during the Dalaran incident.

It’s awesome!

When it comes to hunting down ravens, you can definitely hit them accurately.

And its treasure-hunting nature makes it very interested in all adventure activities.

Is he crazy?

Trixie looked at Blake's leaving figure. The mecha dwarf couldn't figure out the pirate's magical brain circuit. She complained:

Isn't it just a motorcycle?

He wants me to give him one. How long has it been since then, and he’s fighting ravens. The ravens here are very fierce, especially the one named ‘Rusty Feather’, which is the king of Mechagon’s sky.

I've eaten a lot of the mechanical sentries we sent out in the past.

You don't understand. Our captain doesn't like things given to him by others. He prefers to hunt for trophies by himself. That's how he is.

Little Xingxing suddenly became serious. She squatted down and said to the mechanical dwarf with shining eyes:

But you just said 'gift', right? Look, you said you were going to give it to me, but the captain doesn't want it. You can't throw this gift away, so you might as well give it to me.

Although I don’t know what a motorcycle is, if the captain is so interested, then I want one too!

Well, give my loyal bodyguard one too.

Motorcycles are our means of transportation. In addition to motorcycles, we also have autonomous defense combat chocobos, X-995 mechanical cats and general-purpose all-terrain spider tanks as vehicles.

If you want, Bondo has a lot of parts and I can build one for you.

Trixie glanced at the little star. She raised her left hand, flicked it with precise fingers, and shot a signal flare into the sky, which exploded into an intertwined shape of gears and wrenches at high altitude.

She said to Little Star:

“But the labor cost cannot be reduced.

It's a waste of time to put that thing together, and intact engines and undamaged energy cells are hard currency on the surface of Mechagon, so you have to find them yourself.

You just have to tell me where to find it.

Little Star looked left and right in front of him and said:

My loyal and powerful guards will be found immediately. Also, what is the purpose of the flare you just fired? You'd better explain it to my pirate friends.

They are not as easy to talk to as I am.

really.

Behind Little Star, Kanrisade and Bijuka have already grasped the staff, and Finna has also drawn the Northern Lord Battle Axe. As long as Trixie can't come up with a good reason, these guys can kill her immediately. .

I sent a signal to Bondo, asking him to send someone to pick us up in the courtyard. That guy was my former boss, and he was the one who took me out of Mechagon, who was seriously injured.

Trixie shrugged and said to the others:

Don't worry, this is an agreement with your captain. He was going to talk to Bondo about the ownership of the compound, and he also said that he would promote me to be the leader of the gang.

But I don't quite believe it.

Bondo has great power on the island. That guy is a madman. He has many sharpshooters and engineers who make various war weapons for him.

He has become the most powerful warlord on the island after King Mechagon, and even Prince Erazmin is not as powerful as him.

boom

As soon as the mechanical dwarf finished speaking, a gunshot and Blake's angry yelling came from the hillside ahead.

It seemed that the stupid little fish man had fired his shot in advance, but before he could hit it, his hunting target was frightened and flew up from where he was.

The next moment, a large raven with weird purple-gray feathers rushed out of the forest with a squawk. This raven was huge and could cover the sky and the sun when it flew. It was definitely not a serious species at first glance.

Oh my god! It's Rusty Feather! They actually found this rogue in the sky! Don't eat me!

The mechanical dwarf Trixie, who has always been fearless, immediately held her head and trembled in fear when she saw the big raven flapping its wings and taking off.

It seems that this raven really brought a terrible psychological shadow to the mechanical dwarfs on the island.

But following the pirate's whistle, the roar of a bird of prey sounded from higher up, and a black figure descended from the sky like lightning, catching him off guard and slamming his claws into the big raven's eye.

Amidst the cheerful screams of Miss Hesali Black Crow, her sharp and powerful claws closed and took off, forcefully popping out the left eyeball of the big raven.

This fighting method is extremely cruel, but the effect is excellent.

The big raven named Rusty Feather spun down from the air in pain, and was pierced through the head by a void spike in mid-air. Black's arrow penetrated the big raven's bloody eye socket and exploded in its brain. .

By the time the big raven landed, it was completely dead.

A few minutes later, Black strode out of the forest, followed by the dejected little fishman, who was severely scolded by the pirates.

But everything happens for a reason.

This guy's shooting skills are really bad. That pistol can easily kill three or four orcs in Hemet's hands, but it can't even kill a raven in its hands.

Go and look for the car keys! If I can't find them, I'll beat you again.

Black scolded the little fish man angrily.

The latter shrugged helplessly, swayed his body and walked to the body of the big raven, and knew how to roll up his sleeves to prevent his clothes from getting stained with blood.

Did you send a signal to Bondo? When will they come?

Blake walked to the edge of the cliff. The focus of the magic eyeball on his shoulder zoomed a few times, and the entire island's terrain came into view. He asked casually, and Trixie raised her wrist to look at the time and said:

According to the speed of Bondo's men, it will take an hour to get here. It could have been faster with a jetpack, but King Mechagon released air suppression units to patrol around the island.

Once discovered by that thing equipped with a large-caliber triple rapid-fire cannon and an automatic enemy-detecting radar, it will be shot down in an instant.

Look!

It's that thing. It looks like it's coming. We need to hide.

Trixie searched around in the sky and soon found the large aircraft patrolling the entire Mechagon sky. She pointed to the sky and everyone looked up.

Wow! That thing looks so awesome!

Little Xingxing suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone else also looked shocked. As for the dwarf craftsmen, they all cheered with joy like perverts who saw the beautiful woman.

The aircraft flying towards the cliff where they were was indeed majestic.

It is as big as four rotorcraft, and it looks like a floating fortress when flying in the air, which is very oppressive.

It looks like it is made up of three round iron balls. There are blue flame jets under the iron balls on both sides. It is an engine that can rotate 360 ​​degrees to provide power for it.

There are several coil-like energy generators above the engine compartment, which can provide it with a defense matrix.

Above the larger iron ball in the center, there is a cannon that looks very majestic. The muzzle of the triple gun is as big as a fist, and it can also rotate freely.

The strangest thing is that this thing is driverless.

Surrounding it were three small unmanned aerial vehicles, each with a cannon mounted on it, like floating cannons, forming a suppression formation in the air.

If nothing else, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this firepower configuration.

Once it fires at high altitude, without air defense means, it can destroy an entire team of elite knights in an instant.

did you see!

Blake pointed at the thing and said to a group of dwarf engineers around him who were taking photos frantically with mechanical cameras:

That's the offensive firepower of the fleet I want. If I have a formation like this, no matter what kind of enemy I face, the air superiority will be mine.

They clear the airspace with a salvo, and then the bomber formation comes in to destroy all enemy ships in one wave.

Return to a formation. How dare you think about it.

Trixie complained:

Mechagon now has four of these machines, three of which are in the hands of the king, and one prototype is in the hands of the prince. Prince Erazmin relies on this machine to withstand the crazy bombings from the king's side. .

We can't build more until we regain control of the city.

Bondo has always been coveted for this kind of top-level force, and wanted to grab one while the air suppression unit was charging at the electric scrap transport station, but many of his sneak attacks failed.

King Mechagon is no fool.

Although he was crazy, his wisdom was still terrifying. He blocked all roads to the Mechagon Underground City, leaving only one door at the Electric Chip Transportation Factory.

Anyone who wanted to enter the dungeon had to take that route, but the King's most elite mechanical guards were stationed there, nearly a thousand low-level strike robots alone.

There are also two formations of Clockwork Giants.

At this point, the mechanical gnome sighed and said:

When I was serving as Bondo's sentinel in Kul Tiras, I heard that you humans fought a battle with a bad guy called an orc. The combined number of soldiers used by both sides exceeded 300,000.

That's an unimaginable amount.

The outside world is really big, but unfortunately in Mechagon, nearly a thousand robots are an unstoppable torrent. The reason why the king hasn't ordered his legions to attack yet is because he wants to make a return-to-origin bomb.

Still looking forward to Prince Erazmin ‘returning from his lost ways’.

He actually quite liked his son, except that he hated his cowardice and unrealistic illusions about peace.

Quack

Trixie's introduction was interrupted by the murloc's yell.

Blake turned around with surprise on his face and saw the little fish man running over holding a blood-stained mechanical key, handing it over to Blake like a treasure.

The pirate took out his handkerchief and wiped the rusty wheel car key clean, then put it in front of his eyes and looked at it.

This was his first trophy in Mechagon, and it was worth remembering. All he had to do next was find the prototype of the W-type motorcycle that matched this key.

You actually found it!

The detectors on Trixie's eyes were now emitting large clusters of light, which obviously represented the incredible feeling in her heart.

Why do you think it's called a prophet?

Blake snorted proudly and put the car keys in his pocket.

With the help of the perspective shared by the black falcon flying at low altitude, we soon saw a convoy coming out of the large courtyard on the island, which occupied a large area.

A dozen or so fancy-dressed mechanical dwarfs were shouting and waving steel wrenches and warhammers mixed with electrodes and dancing arcs. They rode strangely shaped armed motorcycles and rushed towards their group. .

Do you want a motorcycle?

Blake glanced back at the people behind him. Kelsey Steelspark was the first to raise her hand, Little Star was the second, and Tanred looked around and raised his hand timidly.

very good.

The pirate grinned, pointed forward and said:

They are coming. They have so generously brought a dozen operational motorcycles. I won't be involved for a while. You can go and 'get' them yourself. Whoever grabs it will get it.

You have all heard the current situation in Mechagon. This is not a technological paradise. After the riots, the entire island has entered a chaotic era of anarchy divided by three parties.

If you good babies want to live here, you have to give up all the rules and etiquette in a civilized society and use your fists to teach them that you are not to be messed with.

Fortunately, the code of the shameless pirates is the same.

Even more fortunately, our opponents are a group of one-meter-two-meter-tall mechanical gnomes who know nothing about us and are extremely arrogant. So, got it? Everyone.

Let’s say hello to Bondo Big Boss the Mechagon way.
