After solving Grimlok, Aaron and his expedition team, which had lost a lot of members, were able to move forward in the underground palace much more smoothly. Under normal circumstances, Troggs is a group of ferocious creatures that are afraid of powerful outsiders. Only under the command of a strong leader can they unite to attack those seemingly powerful enemies.
Just like what Aaron and the others encountered just now, in the presence of chief Troggs, these Troggs have turned into brave warriors who are not afraid of death. With just an order from Grimlok, they can risk their lives to attack outsiders.
But when the leader of Troggs died or disappeared, these Troggs returned to their true nature. If the number of intruders in front of them was relatively small, they might be able to swarm up in disorder and attack the enemy. However, when faced with Aaron, a group of people who looked very difficult to offend, ordinary Troggs would rarely be bold enough to dare to attack them, and would only hide far away, not even daring to appear in their sight.
Only in a few cases, when a group of Troggs gathers together, will these guys with poor brains attack Aaron and his group. However, these guys who lack command just come to die for nothing in the face of the tacit cooperation of the dwarves, and they cannot pose any threat to everyone.
Faced with such a smooth exploration trip, the dwarves sincerely thanked Aaron for his contribution. Without the existence of Aaron, even if they could escape by chance this time, it would be difficult to deal with these Troggs entrenched in the underground palace. They could only watch helplessly as these barbaric monsters continue to stay here.
But after Aaron took action, the dwarves could boldly explore this ancient underground palace without worrying about being driven out by Troggs.
However, Vereesa on the side was very dissatisfied with Aaron's previous performance. "It's too risky for you to do this. You should at least tell me. Do you know how worried I was about you just now?"
Vereesa told Aaron his concerns with a straight face, and at the same time made Aaron promise not to make such risky moves again in the future.
You must know that when faced with the previous siege by Troggs, their group could actually choose to resist Troggs's attack while exiting the underground palace and then choose to attack here later, instead of putting themselves in danger like Aaron did and going to deal with Chief Troggs alone.
If Aaron fails and the expedition team's fate is not the same, Aaron will probably be torn apart by these Troggs.
When she was blocked at the other end of the passage, Vereesa had been worried about the fate of Aaron. Although she also knew very well that Aaron was already very powerful, but her heart There is still a vague worry. After all, no matter how powerful a warrior is, there will be times when he misses and is killed by an enemy that is weaker than him. What's more, Grimlok has so many subordinates around him, and Aaron may not always be able to please him.
Just like Orcs Warchief Orgrim was beaten to death by Turalyon under Blackrock Spire. Orgrim may not have been able to defeat Turalyon at that time, but Turalyon found a very suitable opportunity and defeated Orgrim.
Facing Vereesa and Aaron who looked worried, they couldn't tell anything. They could only promise Vereesa that they would not do such risky moves again in the future.
After solving the threat of Troggs, the expedition team's exploration activities in the underground palace became much smoother. Now the only ones that can pose a threat to Aaron are the beasts entrenched in the underground palace. These have adapted to underground life. The beasts have lived in the underground palace for much longer than the Troggss who were recently awakened by their lovers' excavations. Although the number of beasts is not large, they can always launch surprise attacks from places where no one is prepared. Although the threat is not great, it is still annoying.
Apart from these beasts, the only ones in the underground palace that will attack the expedition team are the golems left over from the Titan Keepers era. These golems made of rocks by the Titan Keeperss were given the mission of guarding the underground palace, and they faithfully carried out the orders given by Titan Keepers to expel outsiders.
Although as time goes by, most of these golems have stopped functioning due to their own malfunctions, but there are still a small number of golems that will reactivate under the trigger of outsiders. These rock golems that change from static stone statues to violent guards from time to time also cause a lot of trouble for the expedition team.
Although they are still facing various emergencies, the situation of the expedition team is much better than that of the previous siege by Troggs. Even if Aaron does not take action, the dwarves can easily deal with these threats. After all, too much time has passed, and most of these golems have been troubled. Although they can still move, they no longer have the capabilities they had when they were first created. In addition, the number is small, so they basically do not pose any threat.
Under the guidance of Aaron, this team relied on the slightly vague impression in Aaron's mind to pass through many obstacles in the underground palace and arrived at a room deep in the underground palace, where Archaedas was located.
Because they are Titan-forged, the Troggss are full of respect for the room where Archaedas is located. They dare not break into this room, let alone damage the items in this room. This makes this room very well preserved, but there is still a lot of dust and cobwebs accumulated over tens of thousands of years, making this room look a bit dirty.
The most conspicuous thing in the whole room is a rock giant that is more than ten meters high. This rock giant is holding a huge war hammer in his hand. He looks calm and powerful. He is none other than Archaedas, the King of the Earth.
After the expedition team approached the room, Archaedas's stone body began to shake slightly. As the dust accumulated on Archaedas's body surface fell, the huge rock giant gradually regained its ability to move.
After a brief trance, Archaedas discovered the flesh-and-blood outsiders in the room at his door. Faced with this situation, Archaedas, who was slightly unconscious, immediately roared, "Who awakened Archaedas? Who dares to offend the God of Creation?"
Aaron, who had known for a long time that Archaedas would be very angry when he woke up, had naturally told the dwarves not to go near this room, especially Brann, who was respected by the players as the monster hunter, and must stay behind the team. Aaron was worried about waking up Archaedas rashly would cause unnecessary trouble, but I didn't expect that unlike in the game, Archaedas didn't need to be awakened at all, and actually woke up on his own initiative. This made Aaron a little confused. He could only signal everyone not to act rashly, and he took off the hammer and shield behind him, and slowly approached Archaedas.
The dwarves were not afraid of this rock giant, but were eager to fight him, but in the end they were persuaded to go back by Aaron who did not want to anger Archaedas, leaving only Aaron approached Archaedas cautiously, and at the same time showed two weapons in his hand, Truthguard shield and Silver Hand Warhammer.
The weapons in the past two years have been inherited from Tyr, especially Silver Hand Warhammer, which stayed with Tyr until he died in battle. Aaron believes that after seeing these two weapons, Archaedas should have given some different reactions. What he didn't expect was that after seeing these two weapons, Archaedas roared angrily, "Shameless thieves, how dare you desecrate Tyr's weapons?"
Saying that, Archaedas waved the war hammer in his hand and hit Aaron, without giving Aaron a chance to explain. Facing Archaedas who reacted like this, even if Aaron wanted to explain a few words, it was already too late. The war hammer in Archaedas's hands The hammer had already hit Aaron with thunder and strong wind. Aaron had no choice but to roll on the spot and avoid Archaedas's angry attack. At the same time, he was ready for battle and stared at Archaedas's hands without blinking, preparing to deal with Archaedas's next attack.
