I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

Grim Batol.

The dim firelight flickered in the cave, illuminating the orc's hideous face.

He was a shaman of the Dragonmaw clan. He was tall, muscular, and his skin was dark red, as if it had been burned by flames.

His eyes flashed with ferocity, he wore a helmet made of dragon bones on his head, and armor made of red dragon scales on his body, looking majestic.

He sat on a throne made of dragon bones, and the wall behind him was covered with his various trophies and collected totems.

The orc's name was Nekros, and he was staring coldly at the goblin Krill in front of him.

Creel was short and mean, with skin a sickly green and a sly twinkle in his eyes.

This funny guy was wearing a beautiful robe, the bottom of which was dragging on the ground and became dirty.

He held a long pipe in his hand, taking a puff from time to time and exhaling clouds of thick smoke.

Nekros frowned.

"The Alliance has sent an elite team to try to sneak into your castle and rescue the Red Dragon Queen."

Creel said in his shrill voice.

"In addition, they have already gathered a large force in the northern Arathi Highlands, ready to attack you, powerful Lord Nekros."

"The Alliance? They're nothing! With the Red Dragon in hand, the Dragonmaw Clan is invincible."

Nekros smiled grimly, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

"Once the new batch of dragon eggs hatch, I will help my chief Zuluhed conquer this continent. Of course, if the chief is still alive, hehe."

"Of course I believe in your strength, that's why I came to discuss a business deal with you."

Creel nodded, his smile becoming even more sinister.

"As you know, I'm a merchant. I sell weapons, equipment, food, raw materials, and everything else. I hope to become a long-term supplier to you and Grim Batol Fortress."

Nikelus snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Goblin, do you think I would trust a despicable creature like you? My subordinates told me that you guys are also doing business with the Alliance!"

Krill was not angry, but smiled even more cunningly.

"To show my sincerity, I can send a team of my engineers to participate in your operation and lead your dragon knights to eliminate the elite team of the alliance."

Nikelus pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Then give it a try. If you can prove your worth, I might consider working with you."

Creel smiled with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"You will not be disappointed, Lord Nekros."

In the room of the Deepwater Inn, Alvin and Brother Samuel sat at a wooden round table.

Several paintings depicting ocean scenery hang on the walls of the room, and the hustle and bustle of the port and the sound of waves crashing can be heard outside the window.

"Brother Samuel, please first tell me the orders you received."

Samuel nodded, a serious look on his face.

"My orders are to escort you to Grim Batol and ensure your safety."

He paused and continued,

"But we don't know what specific mission you are going there to perform. We are only responsible for escorting you."

Alvin frowned slightly. The specific content of the mission might involve higher-level secrets, but he needed more information to make a plan.

"How do I get from Menethil Harbor to Grim Batol?"

Samuel took out a map, spread it out on the table, pointed to the route on it and explained, "We need to go east, and then follow this road south to reach Grim Batol. However, the road is basically blocked by the Dragonmaw orcs, so we may have to go east along the foot of the southern mountains."

Alvin looked at the map carefully and nodded.

"It seems that this road is not easy to travel, and we need to be fully prepared."

"Don't worry, my knights are ready. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will do our best to protect you."

Irving smiled and said to Samuel, "Your words have reassured me a lot."

"Then when do we set off?"

"I want to leave right after lunch."

After the plans were made, they went downstairs together and enjoyed a hearty lunch in the hotel restaurant.

Alvin and Samuel ate and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

At this time, no one knew what they were going to face.

Soon, they were ready to set off. The knights brought several horses, and Alvin and Solanlian each chose one.

Several people mounted their horses and got ready to go.

The horses' hair gleamed in the sun, and the knights' armor also gleamed in the sun.

They slowly walked along the streets of the port towards the outside of the city.

After leaving the city, they walked along a winding road with dense forests and rolling hills on both sides.

Samuel and Alvin rode side by side and said with a smile, "Actually, I've been looking forward to meeting you."

"Oh why?"

"Because I used to be a priest at Northshire Abbey in Elwynn Forest. Your name is the same as the name of my hometown, which makes me feel very familiar."

Alvin smiled.

"What a coincidence. Have you heard of me?"

"Yes, Lordaeron, Silverpine Forest, Alterac, Southshore, they are truly awe-inspiring. They are simply living legends!"

"That was just doing my duty," Alvin said modestly.

"When did you become a Paladin?"

"When Northshire Abbey was destroyed, I followed Sir Lothar to Lordaeron."

"There, I met Archbishop Faol, as well as Uther and Turalyon of the Knights of the Silver Hand."

"I wanted to fight like them, so I joined the Knights Templar and learned the ways of the Paladin."

Alvin nodded, sensing Samuel's determination and courage.

"What about your family?"

"They're all dead. The orcs did it."

"I'm so sorry, Brother Samuel. By the Holy Light, may your family rest in peace."

"Thank you, Alvin. It's been an honor to fight alongside you."

Samuel said with a smile.

"boom!!!"

Just as the team was moving along the road at the foot of the mountains, a huge explosion broke the silence.

The shock wave from the explosion made the ground shake!

The horse of the knight walking in front was blown to pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The knight was thrown into the air and fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Enemy attack! Take cover quickly!"

Samuel shouted.

Alvin looked around, but there was no one there. The enemy seemed to be hiding in the dark and his trace could not be found.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions followed.

Flames were everywhere, smoke was everywhere, and explosions were heard one after another.

Each explosion brought a huge impact, deep pits were blown out on the ground, and gravel and soil were splashed everywhere.

The knights and their horses were blown to pieces, screams and the neighing of horses mixed together, and the scene was in chaos.

Alvin was also shocked and dizzy. He tried to keep his balance, but the scene in front of him became blurred.

He held Solanlian firmly behind him, and a bomb exploded a few steps away from him.

He saw the knight who was guarding him in front of him was blown into a bloody mess, and then knocked to the ground by the shock wave, struggling in pain.

Brother Samuel shouted loudly, trying to command everyone to retreat, but his voice was drowned out by the explosion.

Alvin saw him waving his sword, trying to protect the warriors around him, but he couldn't even find an opponent. The series of explosions left him with no choice but to fight against the air.

Solanlian held Alvin's hand tightly, her face full of horror.

"Everyone, listen to me. Get down where you are and don't move! It might be a landmine!"

Alvin shouted to everyone and pulled Solanlian to lie down behind a huge rock.

The aftermath of the explosion still echoed in their ears, and the smoke and dust made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"Everyone protect yourselves!"

Alvin shouted, trying to make more people hear him.

The knights dismounted and lay down. Some horses were frightened and began to gallop, but the frequency and power of the explosions made it difficult for them to escape.

Some war horses had their limbs broken off by the explosion, while others were knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and the neighing sounds continued one after another.

Everyone lay down on the ground, and finally, the explosions stopped.

At this moment, the sound of bowstrings came from the mountainside, and then a rain of arrows shot towards them like a storm.

Several knights were hit by arrows and fell to the ground in pain, their armor stained red with blood.
