I have a shop in Azeroth

When the land of Alterac was attacked by the trolls, some envoys, under the orders of King Aiden of Alterac, who was still relatively sober, set out to seek help from Lordaeron, Stromgarde, Dalaran, Gilneas, and Quel'Thalas.

But in this world, despite the existence of magic, walking is still the way most people travel between two places. Even an ambassador sent by a kingdom facing a crisis has at most one horse. Of course, this is also because the Kingdom of Alterac is the weakest, so there are not many powerful wizards in the kingdom, otherwise they must have faster means.

But perhaps no one would have thought that the Kingdom of Alterac would fall so quickly. Even King Aiden did not anticipate this. In less than a month, their army almost completely collapsed, and the Hillsbrad Foothills in the south were also trapped by the outpost in the south. The soldiers who originally belonged to them blocked them at the mountain pass and they could not advance an inch.

Aiden had to seek help from the devil, but after such a long time, all countries had already known about this matter. Now if calculated according to the time when the Dark Portal was opened, it has been two years since Wu Yue came to this world for three years, and Wu Yue and Alterac have been at war for several months.

During this period, various countries had already known about the changes in the Kingdom of Alterac. Since these countries were basically split from the Empire of Arathor, most of the countries that Alterac had sent envoys to, except Quel'Thalas, sent reinforcements to help Aiden defeat Wu Yue's troops. However, no country could have expected that Aiden chose to cooperate with the devil.

Mages are the most aware of the dangers of demons. In order to resist the threat from demons, they even established the Council of Tirisfal and created the Guardians. Although the current Guardians have been corrupted, it can still be seen that they are aware of the dangers of demons. Therefore, when they learned that Aiden was cooperating with demons, Dalaran was the first to withdraw the mage troops that came to assist.

Quel'Thalas, the northernmost kingdom of the Eastern Kingdoms, did not want to have too much to do with humanity. Aside from its cooperation with the Arathor Empire thousands of years ago to resist the threat of the Amani Kingdom, founded by the forest trolls, it had not had much contact with the other kingdoms since then. Therefore, the moment the envoys arrived, their Sun King rejected the request for assistance.

Gilneas is similar to Quel'Thalas and does not want to participate in the wars between the kingdoms. However, as a human kingdom defending against foreign enemies, he initially agreed to the request for help from the Kingdom of Alterac. Later, Aiden's cooperation with the demons gave the King of Gilneas a reason to refuse assistance, and he subsequently recalled the troops that were going to support.

In the end, only Stromgarde and Lordaeron came to support the invasion, but the motives of these two nations were not simple. The former had been at war with Alterac and would not miss the opportunity to take a bite out of the enemy. The latter, arguably the most powerful nation on the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, would not miss the opportunity to expand its territory.

However, neither of them has yet made a significant impact on the war in the Alterac Mountains. The Alterac Mountains are rugged and undulating, and there are not many navigable roads. There is a main road that opens up the Alterac Mountains, connecting to Hillsbrad Foothills to the south and the lands of western Lordaeron to the north.

The center of this passage is firmly occupied by three towers of destruction. These towers filled with destructive energy make any troops that want to influence the situation in the mountains helpless. Therefore, the two countries can only choose to station their troops outside the mountains.

Wu Yue stood atop a towering mountain, his gaze slyly scanning the distance. He harbored ambitions of his own, yearning to seize the kingdom of Alterac. The demons no longer posed a significant threat to him. Once Alterac's defenses were breached, the armies seeking a share of the spoils would be his next target.

Tennerstein and Haas have set off with a team, so they should still need some way to penetrate the city of Alterac. Coincidentally, Demon Gangrene has made new discoveries recently, and he should be able to help them sneak into the city of Alterac.

..............................................................................

Tennerstein and Hass led their troops on a difficult journey through a land filled with demons, their hearts filled with a firm belief in saving their homeland. However, as the number of demons along the way gradually increased, they had to admit the fact that if they did not have a way to hide themselves, it would be difficult for them to enter the demon-filled city of Alterac.

Although Has's shadow power was given by the world, he is different from Wu Yue and cannot use the power of the world at will. By itself, it is not enough to hide hundreds of people from being discovered by demons along the way. What's more, there are many powerful demons in the city of Alterac. It is a very difficult task for General Has alone to hide from them.

Thinking of this, Tennerstein felt a little heavy-hearted. He turned his head and looked at the wounded soldiers who were receiving treatment from the priest. Many of them had lost their ability to fight. The team had suffered considerable losses just during the march. Do they really have the ability to assassinate King Aiden!

Seeing Turnerstein's worried look, Haas patted his shoulder and said in a heavy but confident tone:

"Don't worry, our collaborator has already sent a helper to us. He should be here soon."

Tennerstein had learned on the way that Haas had a "collaborator" behind him, who could even communicate with him regardless of the vast distance. So he nodded slightly, and his mood eased a little.

At this time, a strong figure appeared in front of them. He was walking slowly towards Hass and Tennerstein. It was an orc, but neither Hass nor Tennerstein knew this. They just thought that it was a humanoid race like demons. They were already accustomed to the strangeness of demons, so they were not too surprised when facing other humanoid creatures of different forms.

Before setting off, Devil's Gangrene was briefed by Wu Yue about the situation. He understood that the group of humans before him were going to assassinate the leader of these demons, so he took out a gem without hesitation and directly explained the function of the gem to the two.

"This gem has the ability to temporarily transform a human soul into a demon, and even experience the power of a demon. This can help you sneak into the demon-infested city."

Turnerstein stared wide-eyed at the mysterious gem in his hand. It emanated a strange light and seemed to contain endless power. He had never seen such a miraculous object before, and his heart was filled with wonder and awe.

"but!"

The Devil's Gangrene suddenly changed the subject

"This power may also gradually corrupt your soul. If you are deceived by it, you will become a true demon."

This put a lot of pressure on Turnerstein. He knew the potential of this gem. It could temporarily transform humans into demons. It was undoubtedly a powerful tool. Turnerstein imagined himself and his companions using this gem to sneak into the demon city and explore that mysterious and dangerous area.

His eyes flashed with determination and anticipation, as if he saw future adventures and victories. This gem became the key to their goal, and he believed it would help them break through the demon's defenses and uncover the secrets hidden in the darkness.

However, Turnerstein also understood that using this gem would bring great risks. The power of the demon was unpredictable, and they must wield it with caution to avoid being harmed by it. But in order to achieve their mission, he was willing to take the risk.

He gripped the gem tightly, feeling the energy flowing through his hands that made him want to destroy everything. But he was determined to lead his companions on a journey full of unknowns and bravely face the challenge of the devil.

Tennerstein and Haas took the gem without hesitation, feeling the power it held. Under the guidance of Devil Nephrology, they concentrated their minds and connected their souls with the gem.

Instantly, their bodies began to change, their skin turning fiery red like the rocks of hell, and growing sharp claws and wings. They felt the power of the devil surge within them, yet they also managed to retain their sanity.
