Looking at the Gnomes girl with a full head of white hair in front of him, Jiang Jie was speechless.
He had a feeling that he was seeing the Archmage Modera!
With the same full head of white hair and the same youthful face, she's basically a miniature version of Modera, though their personalities are completely different. How could such an adorable girl be an old lady with white hair of unknown age?
Jiang Jie had originally planned to teach this unlucky Gnomes girl a lesson, but she almost blew him up. If Anveena hadn't protected him with her golden-white wings at the crucial moment, he would probably have been seriously injured, possibly losing an arm or a leg, even if he hadn't been killed.
No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of explosives!
Seeing such a Gnomes old woman, Jiang Jie really didn't know what to say and sighed.
He looked around and found that he was in a long passage with broken stones everywhere. The original buildings had been mostly destroyed, although there were still intact buildings in the distance. Every now and then, he could see a spotlight shining, which gave Jiang Jie the feeling of returning to modern society.
It's packed with a high-tech feel!
More Rockjaw Trogg emerged from the passage, and there wasn't a second Gnomes in sight. Jiang Jie sighed again.
Left with no other option, he killed the remaining Rockjaw Trogg, then returned to the Gnomes, full of hope. "I am Nicholas Jiang, Highlord of Lordamere, Marquis. Prince Brann of Ironforge and I have come to help you; he will be there soon. So, can you tell me how we can help you?"
The Gnomes blinked, still pondering the same question:
Where have the angels gone?
Five minutes later, the Earthen army finally arrived.
Because he heard the explosion, Brann didn't rest. When he ran over, he was out of breath and almost couldn't catch his breath.
The renowned Prince Brann has visited Gnomeregan more than ten times; many people here know him, including the Gnomes girl. The Gnomes girl, who had initially harbored some doubts about Jiang Jie, completely believed him after meeting Brann.
The Gnomes girl's name is " Amy Short Circuit," although Jiang Jie thinks her surname should be "Short Circuit," the "short circuit" in "brain short circuit."
She is a demolition expert in Gnomeregan, 123 years old, still young. She dyed her white hair herself; she used to have beautiful blonde hair.
Yes, they are still young.
Gnomes have a similar natural lifespan to Dwarves, and Brann is at least two hundred years old. Compared to him, Amy is indeed still very young, at most middle-aged.
Six months ago, Gnomeregan was attacked by Rockjaw Trogg. Because it was so unexpected, and because the Rockjaw Trogg were so numerous, numbering in the tens of thousands, the Gnomes did not have time to organize an effective defense. As a result, in a very short time, the Rockjaw Trogg occupied a third of the city, including the most important Hall of Gears.
High Tinker Mekkatorque immediately ordered the recall of all Gnomes who were away, and then sealed off Gnomeregan to defend against the attacks from all sides by the Rockjaw Trogg.
Yes, from all directions.
Besides the Rockjaw Trogg that crawled in through the underground tunnels, many Rockjaw Trogg on the surface also participated in the attack. In the Frostmane Troll fortress to the south, the Frostmane Troll enslaved a large number of Rockjaw Trogg, and those Rockjaw Trogg also launched an attack. The High Tinker believed that this matter was likely related to the Frostmane Troll.
Ground attacks are nothing to worry about, because Gnomeregan only has one ground entrance, which is accessible via an elevator. As long as this entrance is closed, the Rockjaw Trogg won't be able to get in.
But the Rockjaw Trogg deep underground are a different story.
The Gnomes ' own combat strength is basically on par with the Kobold. Although they also have high-tech weapons, Gnomeregan has not been breached for hundreds or thousands of years, so they don't have much defensive power.
In their haste, they could only stop the Rockjaw Trogg Rockjaw Trogg spreading by closing the gates of each passage, confining them to a certain area, and then researching various powerful countermeasures.
Many new types of machinery and weapons were developed during this period.
But even the Mech Marines,
It was also difficult to withstand the attacks of the Rockjaw Trogg, as their Rockjaw Trogg continued to increase, resulting in a stalemate. High Tinker Mekkatorque summoned all the demolition experts to take turns trying to blow up the cave entrances and block the passages one by one, but each time they were blocked, the Rockjaw Trogg would soon reopen them, which was only a temporary solution.
This time, it was Amy's turn.
Under normal circumstances, with the escort of Mech Marines and Arcane Nullifier, as well as various mechanical Keeper, mechanical sentries, and mobile alarm devices, the mission is not difficult; not a single demolition expert has died in the past few months.
The problem is, things went wrong when it was Amy's turn.
The number of Rockjaw Trogg surging in has increased several times compared to before!
Ultimately, the Mech Marines were scattered, and the Arcane Nullifier and mechanical Keeper were destroyed by the Rockjaw Trogg due to running out of power. Fortunately, they managed to kill all the Rockjaw Trogg and protect Amy as she arrived here, destroying the passage.
However, Amy can't go back.
The road was teeming with Rockjaw Trogg, and she herself didn't know how much longer she could hold out, or whether the members of the Mech Marines would be able to find her in time. Then, another Rockjaw Trogg charged at the cave entrance.
What happened next is exactly what just occurred.
Jiang Jie blinked, feeling a little guilty.
The increase in Rockjaw Trogg seems to be related to me again? If I hadn't cleared Uldaman and driven the Rockjaw Trogg Rockjaw Trogg, they wouldn't have come here, and Amy wouldn't have been in danger?
"By the way, Nicholas, you still haven't told me where that angel went?" After saying that, Amy looked up at Jiang Jie with an adorable expression.
Yes, Gnomes are all very cute.
"Oh, you're hallucinating. There are no angels." If it really was a Gnomes loli or Gnomes girl, Jiang Jie certainly wouldn't mind telling her the truth.
But since she was a Gnomes grandmother who was over a hundred years old, Jiang Jie decided to pass. He had absolutely no interest in her.
"Could it really be a hallucination? Okay, angels are just a legend. I might really be hallucinating. The shockwave from the explosion damaged my brain. It must be!" Amy Gugu.
"Miss Amy, let's change the subject." Jiang Jie sighed and pointed to the Earthen, saying, "I brought three hundred Earthen. You don't know Earthen? Well, they have some connection with the Dwarves, but we'll talk about that later. The problem now is, how should we help you? Fight our way through? At least you should guide us, right?"
"Really? You'll really help us drive away the Rockjaw Trogg? That's great!" Amy exclaimed excitedly. "Come with me! We'll find the Mech Marines first, meet up with them, and then go to the explosives depot to get the explosives. I need to blow up and block up all the remaining passages! Otherwise, the Rockjaw Trogg will keep coming!"
"Then let's go." Jiang Jie took out the orange bow, Thori'dal.
During the brief conversation, Brann had caught his breath and, fiddling with his musket, announced, " The Dwarves are fighting alongside you!... Okay, there are fewer of them, but I actually brought five hundred Dwarves! They're blocking the tunnel passages and caves, just like you are!"
There was no doubt about the bond between the Gnomes and the Dwarves; Amy believed Brann's words without a second thought.
They hadn't walked far when they discovered many Rockjaw Trogg, as well as some broken machinery that looked like robots, or perhaps the legendary "mechs."
