World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde - Chapter 240
c236 A foul-mouthed vrykul
Without the protection of the fog, the Kvaldir raiders were no match for the Covenant fleet. These cursed Vrykul were covered and annihilated by artillery fire and annihilated in the Endless Sea.
The victory over the legendary fog pirates doubled the confidence of the expeditionary warriors of the Covenant. No force could stop them as long as they were under the leadership of King Garin!
According to the sea chart, the Covenant fleet found traces of a continent. There is no doubt that Northrend has arrived.
Going north from the Eastern Kingdoms, the first land to arrive is naturally the Howling Fjord, which was also the landing place for Arthas to go north.
When Arthas landed in the Howling Fjord, he established a port, which was Valgarde, and he also left some troops of the Kingdom of Lordaeron here.
Now, after several years, Valgarde has once again become the port for the Covenant to land in Northrend. When the garrison left in Valgarde learned that Garin had married Jia Liya, they chose to be loyal to Garin while grieving the tragic fate of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Unlike the Alliance Expeditionary Force that has been defending Outland for more than 20 years and has become extremely old, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Lordaeron who stayed in Valgarde are still very young.
This is not surprising, after all, most of the troops who followed Arthas to the north were young people with a passion for life.
However, after these years of perseverance, the constant harassment of the undead, and the loss of contact with the Kingdom of Lordaeron have also made them gradually lose hope and fighting spirit.
In the past few years, Valgarde had no problems, after all, the Scourge had passed by here. Recently, with the awakening of a large number of Vrykul, they were attacked by the Vrykul not far from Utgard Castle.
If the Silver Northern Expedition had not discovered them and provided timely help, Valgarde might have been captured by the Vrykul.
Just as Garin was listening to Lord Irulon Toubre, the old paladin of the Silver Northern Expedition, reporting the situation in Howling Fjord, a rough dragon roar sounded, accompanied by noisy insults.
“Damn it, those Vikus! They’re here again, can’t we take a break?” The originally gentle and righteous Paladin suddenly changed his face, as if the plague god had come.
The fact that a veteran middle-aged Paladin who had experienced two orc wars and the third war could show this expression shows how much the Vikus’ harassment disgusted the defenders of Valgarde.
Garin couldn’t remember the mission in Valgarde, so he asked curiously, “Lord Tubre, are they those legendary Vikus? What did they do to make a Paladin like you so angry?”
“Alas.” Lord Tubre sighed and lost his composure in front of Garin, making the Paladin feel a little embarrassed.
But in the end he explained, “Yes, King Galin, Howling Fjord is the legendary home of the Vrykul. It’s just that not long ago, we have never seen any traces of Vrykul activities in Howling Fjord, except for those ancient buildings.”
“But not long ago, these Vrykul suddenly appeared and quickly established a large number of strongholds. Their number is so large that it seems like they came out of the ground.”
“The most important thing is that these Vrykul are very aggressive and launched a fierce attack on our strongholds. At the beginning, there were only a dozen Vrykul, and now there are thousands of Vrykul every time.”
“Almost every time we beat a Vrykul, there will be three or four stronger and noisier Vrykul.”
“Even the dwarves don’t want to fight those noisy Vrykul. Although they can’t understand their tone, the words they shout during the war are absolutely vulgar.”
In fact, Lord Toubrey is right about one thing, that is, these Vrykul really came out of the ground. Because they are afraid of the life limit brought by the curse of flesh and blood, the Vrykul choose to go underground and fall into a long sleep for tens of thousands of years.
Lord Toubrey’s words instantly brought back Garin’s memories, and a classic line came to his mind, which was “I will smear your blood on my face!”
Isn’t it true? When you kill those Vikuls in the game, they will shout out one speechless war cry after another, just like the saying goes “They are not very strong, but they are good at scolding.”
The loud voices and vulgarity of dwarves are what the elves hate the most, but these Vikuls can make the dwarves unwilling to fight with them, even when they can’t communicate with each other, which is really amazing.
As if recalling the past battles with the Vrykul, Lord Tubre whispered, “It’s hard to imagine why the Creator created such a filthy race. They seem to have nothing in their eyes except fighting, just like the orcs in the old tribe.”
“No! Even the orcs in the old tribe know to eat cooked food, but they don’t know.”
Hearing this, Garin was very upset. He couldn’t tell Lord Tubre that the humans in Azeroth were descendants of the Vrykul, or the Vrykul were degenerate and were to be executed.
This is the difference between advanced civilization and backward barbaric civilization. The ancient Vrykul were indeed more primitive and barbaric than the orcs in the old tribe.
The arrogance of the Vrykul exceeded Garin’s expectations. Before he gave the order, the ancestor dragon knight of the Vrykul Dragon Raider clan rushed to the sky above Valgarde and threw huge javelins from the sky.
One javelin even pierced Garin’s feet directly.
Seeing this, Lord Tubre said hurriedly, “I’m sorry, King Galin, there are not many griffin knights in Valgarde, and the main force of the Silver Northern Expedition is not here…”
“It’s okay, Lord Tubuli. I really like the welcome ceremony the Vrykul gave me.” Garin shrugged and said it was okay.
However, Galin was never one to suffer losses, and he also understood that the best way to deal with these Vrykul was to kill them on the battlefield.
So Galin directly pulled out the javelin that was inserted into the ground and was higher than him, and then aimed at the Vrykul ancestor dragon knight flying unscrupulously in the air and threw it directly.
With the blessing of anger and strength, the javelin even made a sound of breaking through the air.
The Vrykul Ancestral Dragon Knight, who was still arrogant in the sky, was instantly pierced by the javelin he threw. The effect of the shattering throw made the Archaic Dragon’s hard dragon scales and armor have no protective effect.
Wagard, who does not have enough air force, really has no way to deal with these Vrykul ancestor dragon knights, but the covenant fleet has enough air force.
The loud cry of the gryphon rang through the sky, and thousands of gryphon knights appeared in the sky over the Howling Fjord.
The dwarf knight on top of the largest gryphon is none other than Garin’s friend, Lord Falstad Wildhammer.
Due to the return of Kurland Wildhammer to the Eagle’s Nest, Falstad’s position is very embarrassing. After all, the Wildhammer dwarves cannot have two great lords at the same time.
In order to avoid conflicts, Falstad took the initiative to expedition to Northrend with Garin and handed over the Eagle’s Nest Mountain to Kurland.
