"We won. Those big guys ran away with their tails between their legs. Let us cheer!" After confirming that Ice Troll had either escaped or been killed, the leading dwarf waved to his men.
The other dwarfs also cheered loudly in cooperation, and a few excited dwarfs directly pulled the triggers of the weapons in their hands, and for a while there was a mixture of high-pitched cheers and gunshots.
"So... so lively." Aaron stood on the side of the ship and watched this group of extremely joyful dwarfs celebrating their victory unscrupulously, and couldn't help but look at each other with Vereesa.
At this time Aaron wanted to shout at those dwarfs, "Hey, can't you see me? Can someone just talk to me?"
However, these dwarfs seemed to have never seen Aaron and the ship Dreadwake. After celebrating happily for a while, they began to clean up the battlefield under the command of their commander, without any intention of looking this way.
"Hey, you guys!" Aaron, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally let out a roar eager for attention, and shouted at the group of dwarfs below, "Can you really not see me?"
"Captain, there is someone on that ship, a human!" Aaron's roar finally attracted the attention of the dwarfs. A dwarf who was controlling a machine that looked very much like an excavator shouted at their commander.
"Is there anyone there?" The dwarf captain turned his head and looked in the direction of Aaron. After seeing Aaron waving his arms in hopes of attracting attention, the dwarf finally came to his senses. "Isn't that ship stranded here?"
Aaron, who vaguely heard this sentence, wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. Whose ship would run aground on a plateau like Dun Morogh?
"Hey, big man, are you in any trouble?" The dwarf captain approached Dreadwake, raised his head and shouted to Aaron.
Aaron simply told the dwarf his purpose and expressed that he wanted to do business with High Tinker Mekkatorque.
"Humans who come to do business with the great craftsman? Well, come with us." The dwarf captain did not doubt Aaron, but he said that he and his men still had to clean up the battlefield and asked Aaron to wait for a while.
The dwarfs used the machinery they brought to dig a big pit in the forest, threw all the Troll corpses into it, and buried them hastily, ending the process of cleaning the battlefield.
"Okay, let's go." The dwarf captain rode out a white Mechanical Hawkstrider from the forest and motioned for Aaron to follow.
After the dwarfs saw that Dreadwake could actually fly, they became agitated and began to discuss how the ship could fly. They clearly saw no propellers, no propellers, and no airbags.
Facing this group of dwarfs who were very curious and even eager to study Dreadwake, Aaron had no choice but to say that the ship was a magical creation and relied on a magic engine to provide propulsion. This was able to dispel the burning fire of knowledge among these dwarfs.
"Iceflow Lake is ahead, Great Warehouse is to the north, and the airport is opposite. We will be there in an hour." The dwarf captain named Garvey kept introducing the nearby scenery to Aaron along the way.
This journey took about half a day. Aaron finally saw a flat hardened ground from a distance. According to Garvey's introduction, this is the airport where gnomes experiment with various flying machines. Gnomeregan has a narrow internal space and is not suitable for testing aircraft.
"Is the great craftsman here?"
"Yes, the great craftsman has been developing aircraft recently and wants to develop an aircraft that is as useful as Mechanical Hawkstrider." Garvey patted Mechanical Hawkstrider on his crotch. "This Hawkstrider was invented by the great craftsman. With this, it will be much easier for us when we are on the road."
"Wait, get down!" Garvey had just introduced a few of High Tinker Mekkatorque's inventions to Aaron, and suddenly shouted, regardless of the reactions of the people around him, he was the first to fall to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the other dwarfs also imitated their captain and lay down on the ground. It seemed that this action was very skillful. I wonder if it is used often.
After all the dwarfs lay down, only Vereesa and Aaron were left standing. As a ranger with quick reactions, Vereesa was just a moment stunned and imitated the dwarfs and lay down on the ground. He rolled on the spot and huddled under a nearby tree. The smoothness of his movements was even higher than that of these dwarfs.
"What should I do?" Aaron didn't react just now, and was attracted by Vereesa's series of smooth and elegant evasive movements. It was already too late to react. It was precisely because of this that Aaron witnessed a scene that could never be seen elsewhere in Azeroth - a plane crash.
Aaron watched helplessly as a small rotorcraft emitted black smoke and crashed directly towards him. Aaron, who was caught off guard and had no time to react, had to shield himself Divine Shield, raised his shield and took a shot at the rotorcraft.
There was only a bang, and the out-of-control rotorcraft changed its flight direction due to Aaron's beat, and hit the open space to the side. Aaron himself was also knocked back several steps by the collision, and even stepped on a dwarf infantry lying on the ground.
"Sorry, sorry." Aaron hurriedly hid aside and kept apologizing to the dwarf he accidentally injured. Unexpectedly, the dwarf had no reaction to Aaron's words. He just lay on the ground shivering and kept mumbling something.
Aaron curiously moved closer and heard what the dwarf was saying. It sounded like this guy mistakenly thought he had been hit by a falling rotorcraft and was praying that he would not be seriously injured.
When Aaron saw this, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. After thinking about it, he ran towards the crashed rotorcraft. What happened just now was so sudden that Aaron didn't have time to think about it. He didn't even pay attention to whether there were any passengers on the plane.
After approaching, Aaron first looked at the seat position of the gyrocopter. He was relieved when he saw that there was no gray-faced dwarf there. Only then did he have the time to pay attention to the appearance of this aircraft made by a dwarf.
The main body of this rotorcraft is a long and narrow cylinder, with a round barrel-shaped cylinder connected to both sides. A three-wing propeller is installed above each of these two cylinders. However, due to the hard landing just now, both propellers look quite miserable, and one of them has even fallen off the base below.
Aaron also discovered the cause of the crash of the rotorcraft. The second half of the rotorcraft, which should be the power mechanism, was emitting thick black smoke, and you could vaguely see sparks flying out.
"Big man, get out of the way!" At this moment, a slightly impatient voice came from a tree next to Aaron. Aaron, who had suffered a loss once, did not care to think about why a tree could talk this time, and hurriedly ran away from the rotorcraft, adding a layer of Divine Shield to himself at the same time.
Just when Aaron felt that he should hide far enough, he heard an explosion behind him, and then a wave of air swept over him. He pushed Aaron forward a few steps and almost threw himself on the street. Aaron also noticed that there was also a blast in the air wave. There were many parts that seemed to be components of a rotorcraft, and Aaron's back was hit several times by these parts. Fortunately, the hail of parts and bullets passed before Divine Shield failed, and Aaron suffered no injuries except for being a little disgraced.
"Okay, it's okay." The explosion was like a signal. After the explosion, the dwarfs who were lying on the ground stood up one after another and confirmed each other's safety.
"Quick, go rescue the big craftsman." The dwarf captain Garvey stood up and shouted to his men, while taking the lead and running towards the place where the gyroplane fell.
"Big Craftsman? But there's no one inside." Aaron said blankly, but he quickly realized that the Big Craftsman must have fallen into the tree, right?
