Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 92 Attack
"I am an adventurer from Lordaeron..."

Jack introduced himself like this wherever he went, and it always worked.

These humans living in Northrend all have a yearning for Lordaeron. Northrend is a bitter and cold place, and if they didn't have their own reasons, they wouldn't live in Northrend all year round.

Some of these people came here to avoid being exploited by the nobles, some came here to covet the wealth here, and some simply couldn't afford to leave. No matter what their reasons or difficulties were, they couldn't change the fact that they had to live here.

In such a harsh environment, humans have developed the habit of being treacherous and helping each other. When trading, they are like goblins, desperately trying to make more money. When they are in the wild, they help each other and prevent their companions from freezing to death in the snow.

Intelligent life! It has always been synonymous with contradiction.

Jack actually bought some Titanium at several gathering points near the north. So, Jack was not in a hurry to go west, but wanted to go north to have a look.

But at the westernmost gathering point in the north, he suddenly heard a piece of news that several gathering points in the west seemed to have been attacked.

Such news is not surprising. There are too many unknown enemies on the snowfield, including wild beasts, spider demons, and even snow monsters.

But what is strange is that there was no one at the gathering point that was attacked, and even no bodies were found, only a lot of blood. It often snows on the snowfield, and the heavy snow buried the traces of the battle. If the blood had not melted too much snow, leaving a hole at the scene, I am afraid that even the battle scene would not have been preserved.

When Jack heard this, he immediately put down his glass. He knew that what he was waiting for had come out.

Leaning over to the people who were talking about this, Jack asked, "Guys, can you tell me about this?"

"Of course!" Those people were happy to share. Jack described the situation in detail. "I felt incredible when I heard it. It was really weird."

Just then, the door of the tavern was pushed open and a group of strong men walked in.

"We have formed a rescue team, anyone want to join?"

Jack's heart was moved. These people were very powerful. They could actually make the lantern react. Even in the Explorers Association, few could pass the "assessment" of the lantern.

Before they came in, no one in the tavern could move the lantern. The people in the tavern also knew that although they were interested in the attack, they had no interest in rescuing.

For those who are alive, they might still consider it. But those people at the gathering point might already be dead, so why waste their energy?
Jack stood up, "You guys are going to those gathering points?"

"Yes! Do you want to join us?"

It seems that the rescue team is really short of people, otherwise they wouldn't ask everyone.

"I'll join!"

Jack agreed readily. He just wanted to find some people who could spread the information, and these people were just right.

They were a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Jack reached out his hand and said to them, "You can call me Plank."

The reason he gave this fake name was because he and Muradin used the same name, and he was afraid that Muradin had heard about him.

"Planck?"

The strong men welcomed Jack. "Gangplank, it will be very dangerous for us to go this time. But for all the humans in Northrend, we must go. Even if we can't save anyone, we must find out what happened there."

Jack said admiringly, "I admire people like you. I will go with you, and I can provide some help. I am an adventurer and have a lot of exploration experience."

“That’s great!”

Everyone welcomed them, and then other companions joined them, and more than ten people set out together. "Try these!"

Jack made more than ten pairs of skis and taught them how to use them. After they got familiar with them, they could slide quickly on the snow, which was much faster than traveling.

"Planck, you are a genius. You actually came up with this kind of transportation."

"With them, we can reduce our travel time by more than half."

"Let's see who's faster!"

Jack quickly followed and advised them to be careful and beware of the wild animals on the snowy plains. These people have lived on the snowy plains for many years and know the wild animals here better than Jack. They were just too excited just now, and they were near the gathering point, so they were not on guard.

As their skiing skills improved, they soon caught up with Jack's speed, and the group paddled quickly to the next gathering point.

There was also a rescue team there, and they had been on the road for several days. Jack and his companions continued their journey and caught up with them in three days. They were also very happy to see the skis and asked Jack to make some for them.

Jack readily agreed and enthusiastically taught them how to ski. After they got used to it, everyone continued to set off.

In this way, rescue teams from four gathering points gathered like a snowball, with a total of more than 50 people rushing to the area where the accident occurred recently.

Ice cubes formed by blood can be seen everywhere in the gathering point. Although buried by snow, some traces can still be seen.

"There are spurting blood, and the enemy has a sharp blade..."

"Someone was surrounded and killed in the room, but their bodies were immediately moved away..."

Jack did not focus on the gathering point, but searched towards the west. Soon he found something, "There is blood here. They left from here."

The rescue team rushed over immediately, and after confirmation, they agreed with Jack's judgment.

"We need to follow and see."

Those who dared to join the rescue team were brave and expressed their support.

In this way, the rescue team followed the blood trail and searched westward. However, after walking a few hundred yards, the blood trail gradually disappeared, and it seemed that it continued to move westward.

"Further west is the ice plain. It is said that the Vikuls live there."

Someone speculated: "Could it be those Vikus who did it?"

"No! Although the Vikus don't like us, they rarely leave the ice field and will not suddenly do such a thing."

"Yes, judging from the traces of the attack, it wasn't them, but rather wild beasts. But wild beasts wouldn't be so organized. Could it be the work of the spider demon?"

Everyone tried to guess, but no one got it right.

At this time, Jack said: "Everyone, you should have seen along the way that there are so many murderers, and they are moving along the road, which shows that they have a certain degree of intelligence. In this case, when they act again, they will still walk along the road. As long as we keep an eye on the main road leading to the ice field, we can find them when the enemy moves again."

“That’s a good idea!”

Everyone praised him, "Planck, you are really smart."

"Where, where..."
