The Great Thief

Chapter 1799 - Stair of Destiny

Chapter 1799: Stair of Destiny

What did a Fel Reaver drop?

Lu Li didn’t know. He hadn’t killed a Fel Reaver before nor had he seen anyone do it. If you thought that killing a Fel Reaver would drop scrolls, then would be naïve.

He suspected that even if he brought ten elite groups, he wouldn’t be able to overcome the extraordinary strength of the Burning Legion.

Across the Hellfire Peninsula were dozens of Fel Reavers. If these monsters were already able to kill them, then the Boss of the map would be too much to handle.

The Fel Reaver scroll had a low probability of being dropped by Mo’arg the Engineer. However, they first had to have the prerequisite quest active, which was something Hachi Chan was tasked with acquiring.

Most of the people in Ruling Sword’s core Elite Group acquired the quest as directed by Lu Li.

They believed that they would soon be able to cross the Dark Portal. It was only then, as they fought Mo’arg, that they would realize that even Lu Li wasn’t able to defeat these mechanical monsters at his current Strength.

The only thing that Lu Li could now was level up.

He also couldn’t afford to die, as reviving would take him back to the starting location.

When you re-entered the level 70 map, you would then have to re-do the quest.

Most of the quests were unique and Remulos might not give it to him again. Even if he did, the quests were often difficult and took a few days to complete.

Although it was desolate, there was a beautiful starry river here that Water Fairy would probably like.

Suddenly, Lu Li remembered Water Fairy, and realized that they had been apart for about an hour.

Lu Li had no plans of fighting the monsters to level up. It was too dangerous to go alone and if he ran into a Fel Reaver, he would be finished.

He instead decided to go the Stair of Destiny which was a very long defensive perimeter in front of the Dark Portal. That was where both Alliance and Horde NPCs were holding the line against an endless stream of Burning Legion monsters. Their goal was to push through the Burning Legion troops so that they could better establish themselves and bring in even more forces.

They had been fighting for a long time.

It could be said that the peace and harmony in Azeroth was built on the blood and sweat of these people.

A Crow swiftly flew towards the Dark Portal. It took some time before Lu Li found a safe place on the Stair of Destiny. This was the frontlines of the resistance.

“What?!”

A sturdy Shaman Tauren holding a large totem was watching this strange crow vigilantly. He had not forgotten this familiar creature. It had been about five years, even though it felt more like 50 years.

“I am an elf, as you can see. I am from Azeroth,” Lu Li said, as he transformed after landing.

At this time, the camp was being besieged by the Burning Legion. A Pit Commander was continually summoning Infernal Siegebreakers to attack, who were accompanied by no small number of Wrath Masters and Fel Soldiers. The Horde and Alliance army stood by the camp and the two sides were soon launched into a bloody battle.

“It’s an Elf, a Night Elf! Come over here!” the Tauren shouted.

“What happened?” a Darnassus archer asked as he ran over. He was wounded and the bow on his back had been damaged, so he was now fighting with a machete.

“He is a newbie. Looks like a mage,” the Tauren said as he healed the archer.

“I am not a Mage. I’m actually a Thief,” Lu Li corrected him.

“It doesn’t matter,” the Darnassus archer interrupted him impatiently and eagerly asked, “Where are the reinforcements? How many people have come?”

“Oh, I am here alone,” Lu Li said helplessly.

“This is impossible. Damn Tyrande, damn Malfurion and damn Darnassus. Do you know how long our team has been here? We haven’t rested for seven days... seven days!”

The Elf, a member of a race which was generally known for their elegance, was swearing directly at the leader of the Night Elves.

“Why haven’t they come yet? We can’t hold it for much longer...” the Tauren added helplessly.

“Go join the fight elf. Make sure you die well,” the Darnassus archer said before hurrying back to his post. The Fel Soldiers had broken through the Orc Warrior’s line of defence, and now even the Darnassus archer had to fight the enemy in melee.

“I brought some supplies, if you need them...”

In a bloody battlefield like this, wounds were likely to get infected. Lu Li was also stunned at the way this battle was going.

Otherwise, Lu Li who was normally really stingy, would have never handed over his supplies like this.

“Supplies? Do you have supplies?” the Tauren asked overjoyed as he lifted up Lu Li.

Potions, food, bandages...

Lu Li was glad that he had asked Hachi Chan for a bigger backpack, otherwise, there was no way that he could have brought so many things. Lu Li, who had originally disguised himself, was now a hero to the various races at the scene.

Even at the peak of their lives, it was likely that no one would be respected by so many different races.

“Did you come from the portal?”

Lu Li was eventually escorted to see the highest sergeant present, likely because of all the supplies he had brought. It was Lieutenant General Orion, a vicious looking Orc, but who actually spoke quite amicably with Lu Li.

“Yes,” Lu Li nodded.

“We haven’t been back in five years. What is going on back there?” Lieutenant General Orion asked.

Lu Li briefly talked about the major events that had unfolded in Azeroth. Most of them were pieces of news that he could confirm. Lu Li didn’t really know what he wanted to hear, so he mainly focused on the news relating to Orcs.

“Those militant guys should come here to expend their energy.”

Lieutenant General Orion was very angry to hear that the Alliance and Horde were still in constant conflict.

“In the near future, more adventurers will come through the Dark Portal to join the battlefield of the Outland,” Lu Li said.

“That is good, even if the strength of adventurers is weaker.”

Lieutenant General Orion was immediately happy to hear that countless Orcs, humans, Elves, Tauren and Trolls would be joining his side to protect Azeroth. The boundaries between race had faded because they all wanted to see the end of the Burning Legion.

“Our advantage is that we aren’t afraid of death.”

Lu Li shrugged and didn’t feel like going to great lengths to prove their worth.

Lieutenant General Orion saw Lu Li’s frail body and gave him a protective item.

“In that case, you must first kill ten Fel Soldiers. They are just the cannon fodder of the Burning Legion. Put on this talisman, and your comrades will try to protect you from harm on the battlefield.”
