"Are there survivors?" Aaron didn't react at first. It wasn't until the soldiers over there shouted twice that he realized the problem after being reminded by Vereesa. It seemed that not a single living person had been seen before. Not all the residents of this town had been killed. It seemed that some people were hiding in the basement.
Because the damage caused by the Proto-Dragon and Vrykul riders was mainly caused by frost and lightning strikes, although it caused a large number of buildings to collapse, there was no fire in the town and the people hiding in the basement escaped.
Aaron hurriedly ran in the direction of the shouting soldiers. Several soldiers were gathered around a basement entrance next to the wall. The wooden board at the entrance had been opened, but only faint sounds could be heard in the dark tunnel, and no one came out.
"You, you, you, come down with me and have a look." A soldier who looked like a captain pointed to a few soldiers and asked them to light torches and go down with him to take a look at the situation. Although it was previously judged that the residents of this town were hiding inside, what if it wasn't the case? It would be safer to confirm with your own eyes.
"Wait a minute..." Aaron was about to say that it would be safer if he went down to see if there was any unexpected situation, but four soldiers had already entered, and after a while, the four of them came out with a middle-aged man who looked familiar to Aaron.
"Boss?!" Aaron looked at the grey-faced man in front of him and looked familiar. After careful identification, he found that this man was the hotel owner who kindly took him in. "I am Aaron, do you still recognize me?"
"Aaron?" The boss seemed to still remember Aaron, with an expression of surprise on his face. However, when he looked at half of the surrounding buildings that were in ruins, especially the half-collapsed tavern, his face became extremely ugly again, and he cursed angrily, "Those damn monsters!"
"Don't worry, boss, those monsters have been driven away." Aaron didn't know what to say for a moment to comfort this man who only wanted to run his own tavern well. The tavern was destroyed like this, and the other person was definitely in a very bad mood.
"Forget it, I plan to renovate one side anyway, so I'll start early." What Aaron didn't expect was that the boss's sadness only lasted for a short while, and he immediately cheered up. Everyone around him, including Aaron, couldn't help but marvel. It's really rare for a person to have such a broad heart.
"Okay, everyone is out. It's our Lordaeron army. The monsters have been driven away." The boss not only cheered up himself, but also helped the soldiers call out all the residents hiding underground.
After everyone came out, Aaron discovered that the residents of the entire town were basically unscathed. It seemed that everyone reacted very quickly. The biggest damage was that a few children were beaten by their parents because they did not want to go into the basement. It seemed that everyone was very vigilant and did not give the enemy a chance at all.
"It's good that people are fine." Aaron murmured, but he also knew in his heart that although these people survived, their homes had also suffered a devastating blow. Rebuilding their homes was by no means a simple matter. What's worse was that if they failed to contain the invasion of Undead, they would not even have the chance to rebuild their homes.
"For their sake, we can't let Undead continue to wreak havoc." Aaron clenched his fists. Although he had it before, he didn't have any real feeling. Now he knows that these are the people he wants to protect, at least he can't let them be like in "official history" suffered such a tragic fate, and the first target he needs to deal with now is Scourge who wants to attack Dalaran. If this group of enemies is defeated, it will not be so easy for them to summon Burning Legion.
However, the innkeeper who came up to Aaron at some point interrupted Aaron's reverie. He rubbed his hands, pointed at the Proto-Dragon body that fell not far away and asked, "Aaron, I heard that you killed that dragon?"
Aaron was a little confused and nodded. "Yes, it's me."
"You are so powerful now, you can even kill such a big dragon." The innkeeper praised Aaron for a few words, and then changed the topic. "Can you sell that dragon to me?"
"Sold to you?"
Aaron originally couldn't understand why the innkeeper wanted to buy the dragon, but the other party obviously misunderstood. "I know, you definitely want to hang the dragon's head at the door of your home, but you see, I even destroyed the tavern. If there is such a thing to help me attract customers, it will definitely make the business better, right? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a suitable price, you see..."
Aaron listened to the boss's words and couldn't help laughing. He interrupted the other party and said, "Boss, take it if you want it. It's useless for me to take things, but you can't eat that guy's meat. That Proto-Dragon has been dead for a long time. The dragon meat must be poisonous."
"Give it to me?"
"Yes, boss, didn't you take me in for several months before? Consider this dragon's body as a thank you gift from me." Aaron said with a smile, "Besides, it's useless for me to want that dragon. If you want it, just handle it yourself."
Seeing the boss happily heading straight for Proto-Dragon's body, Aaron smiled and shook his head. It was just Proto-Dragon. He had no interest. If he really wanted to If we were to hang something on Covenant City, it would have to be the head of Deathwing, right? The next best thing would be Onyxia or Nefarian.
Although the town suffered serious damage, the locals have the habit of storing food in the basement. Although the cold wind in winter is a bit cold, at least they don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
The soldiers rested here for two hours and set foot on the road to Dalaran again. They encountered several Proto-Dragon attacks along the way, but were rescued by Gryphon Riders. Decided, in comparison, these Proto-Dragons are not as difficult to deal with as the red baby dragons. Gryphon Riders can be said to be very easy to deal with, and there is no need for Aarons to take action.
"Dalaran is ahead." Aaron saw the iconic spire in the center of Dalaran from a distance. Although the specific situation in the city could not be seen, there was no trace of the enemy., it seems that Scourge's advance speed is much slower than Aaron expected. The Necropolis and Dragon Knights encountered before are not a small team but the advance army of Scourge.
"Soldiers, speed up and enter Dalaran before resting!" Dathrohan rode on the horse and turned around to look at the situation of his troops, and decisively ordered everyone to enter Dalaran as soon as possible.
Although there is no trace of the enemy yet, who knows when those guys will appear. It would be a bit bad if they suddenly encounter the enemy before entering the city. The sooner you enter the city, the more at ease you will be. With the Dalaran city wall as a barrier, the pressure of defense can be reduced.
