Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 331 Drogbar Mercenaries

Jack had never thought of exterminating the Drogbar. The Drogbar civilization had existed for tens of thousands of years, but it had developed slowly due to the lack of underground resources. However, since they had civilization, they could communicate.

Jack admired their ability to fight underground, which was a great strength to deal with underground enemies. If they could be sent to Azjol-Nerub, they could become the main force to attack the spider demons. With the Iron Vrykul and Iron Dwarfs, the conquest of Azjol-Nerub might be greatly accelerated.

So Jack said to the Drogbar.

"The Hammer of Khaz'goroth is the Pillar of Creation left by the Titans, and was given to the Titan Guardians to use in building the world. Later, the Titan Guardians created the Guardian Dragons, and the Hammer of Khaz'goroth was given to the Earth Guardian Neltharion for safekeeping. Later, Neltharion fell and became Deathwing, and you and the tauren used the Hammer of Khaz'goroth to exile Deathwing. Am I right?"

The drogbar looked at each other in confusion. It was the first time they had heard such a statement, and they turned to look at Dagur.

Dagur felt a little guilty, but still said firmly: "Don't lie to me. The Hammer of Khaz'goroth has always been a sacred object of the Drogbar. We lent it to the Tauren to expel Deathwing, but the Tauren took it for themselves."

Jack looked at him with a half-smile, "You probably don't know that Khaz'goroth is the name of a Titan?"

Dagur remained silent, he really didn't know about this.

Jack was not interested in educating them about ancient mythology. "Then do you know why I was able to easily take the Hammer of Khaz'goroth from you just now?"

Dagur shook his head. Logically speaking, he would not be controlled at all when using the Hammer of Khaz'goroth.

"Because I just used the power of another Titan. His name is Norgannon, known as the King of Magic."

Jack fiddled with the Hammer of Khaz'goroth. "The only one who can defeat a Titan is another Titan."

"So, do you understand what I said?"

Dagur looked at the Hammer of Khaz'goroth unwillingly. Since ancient times, the Drogbar have said that this is the sacred object of the Drogbar, which was shamelessly stolen by the Tauren. Now it seems that this sacred object may not really belong to the Drogbar, but a lie made up by some of the ancestors of the Drogbar who were dissatisfied with the Tauren's acquisition of the Hammer of Khaz'goroth.

It took cooperation between the two parties to exile Deathwing. Why should you, the Tauren, monopolize this artifact?
Thinking of this, Dagur's face turned pale. How could he accept that his lifelong pursuit turned out to be a lie?

Jack said: "I felt the breath of Deathwing in the cave. This should have been Deathwing's lair, right?"

"That's right!" Dagur nodded and said casually, "Not only that, we also collected some scales of Deathwing here and made them into shields."

Jack smiled and said, "I won't take the Hammer of Khaz'goroth for nothing. Bring those shields here and I'll help you strengthen them. How about that as your reward for giving up the Hammer of Khaz'goroth?"

Dagur's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there would be compensation. The person in front of him was quite nice.

Jack released Dagur, who immediately had the shields brought over. Jack raised the Hammer of Khaz'goroth and strengthened the shields.

After the job was done, Jack said, "You guys are very good at underground combat, especially those giant worms, which are simply great pursuit weapons. If you're willing, I can hire you to help us clean up the enemies underground, and the reward will be very generous."

Dagur's mind moved, "How generous?" "Food, weapons, armor, magic materials, anything you need, I can give it to you, and I guarantee that all the Drogbar will live a good life."

The reason why the population of the Drogbar is so sparse is because of the lack of food. The Highmountain is not suitable for planting, and there are very few prey. In addition, due to the habits of the Drogbar, their food is mushrooms grown in underground caves. How many people can they feed with mushrooms?

So when Jack mentioned food, Dagur was tempted. As long as there was enough food, the population of the Drogbar would explode.

"Okay, I wonder who you are dealing with?"

"Spider Demon!"

Jack explained the characteristics and strength of the spider demons. "The spider demons are easy to deal with, but the hard part is that they can burrow underground, making it impossible for our people to track them."

Dagur laughed. "That's for you. For us, such enemies are easy to deal with. We don't even need to take action. A few giant worms can kill them."

Although the giant worms have no bones, their bodies are very hard. They can travel underground without any hindrance, and neither solid stones nor hard ores can hinder them.

In war, they are powerful weapons for conquering cities and territories underground. In daily life, they are also good at mining and quarrying.

Jack laughed. "In that case, take a few giant worms with you. Organize the army, and then we will meet at the cave entrance and head to Northrend immediately."

Dagur agreed, and Jack did not stay and took Farondis directly back to the Black Pearl.

A few hours later, Dagur led hundreds of Drogbar warriors out of the cave, carrying several giant worms. Then he looked at the Black Pearl flying in the air, his mouth wide open.

What kind of monster is this?

Jack activated the teleportation array and teleported them to the space cabin. The change of space made the drogbars very uneasy. At this time, a Farondis came in and said, "Everyone, please be patient. Jack will be here soon."

After a while, Jack also teleported in and said to the drogbars, "Next, we will embark on a wonderful journey. What is shown on the screen is the scene outside the Black Pearl. I believe it will open your eyes."

Although they live in caves, the drogbar are not frogs in a well. They once stood on the peak of Highmountain and looked into the distance. However, their eyes had to adapt to life underground, so they could not see very far. Now, they can finally see the world outside Highmountain.

The Black Pearl did not head north, but returned to Nar'thalas.

The appearance of the Drogbar gave Jack hope of clearing Aidjol-Nerub. Then he thought of Faronaar's allies, the Fal'dorei led by the Valley Walker Farodin.

The establishment of the Silver Covenant has increased the exchange of spells between the various forces. With the addition of the Night Elves, the spider elves gradually got rid of the spider legs and turned the spiders into the objects of the transformation spell. However, the Fal'dorei did not return to Suramar, but continued to live in Faronaar, studying their unique spells.
