Chapter 58 Weapon Forging, Kaido's New Function Unlocked

"With your help, everything will be foolproof. But don't trust that Dreadlord under your command too much; he's no good," Rhodes said meaningfully.

The Dreadlords are a race that didn't even sincerely pledge allegiance to the Burning Legion. These guys are the kind who would infiltrate your territory if you dare to recruit them.

Most dreadlords are infiltrated within the Burning Legion, but a small number are infiltrated within the Light Legion or other factions.

They are actually members of the Shadowlands Pantheon of Death, Lord Revendreth, Fang of the Shadowlands, Blood Ancestor, Commander of the Stoneborn, King of Venthyr, and Emperor Denathus.

To put it bluntly, these guys are a bunch of top-tier traitors. In the latest Warcraft storyline, Sargeras was captured by the Pantheon, and now the Dreadlords are moving around trying to make Denathrius the new commander of the Burning Legion.

Damn it, they've got their eyes on the position I've got my eye on. And Varimathras, one of Sylvanas's underlings, isn't any better.

This guy joined Sylvanas's ranks only because he wanted to cause trouble, and Balnazzar is not dead at all.

"You seem to know them very well?" Sylvanas asked.

The Dreadlords are known for their cunning and treachery, skilled in all sorts of schemes and tricks, and are excellent minions of the Burning Legion.

"The Dreadlords have a rather special status, and Varimathras, who is loyal to you, could stab you in the back at any time. Getting rid of them as soon as possible is the best choice," Rhodes said.

The best way to deal with the Dreadlords is to kill them outright and then send them back to the Twisting Nether.

And since he was about to take Sylvanas on a journey, he didn't want to leave this time bomb behind.

"If this is your suggestion, I will consider it. We'll find an opportunity to kill him during our trip to Outland," Sylvanas said.

To be honest, she didn't really trust Varimathras either; he'd been causing trouble all these years. According to the latest intelligence, Varimathras killed Balnazar out of loyalty to her, and might not have even died at all.

Instead, it infiltrated the body of Dathrohan, the commander of the Scarlet Crusade, who had recently been defeated by the paladins of the Silver Hand and revealed his true form as a dreadlord.

Sylvanas specifically questioned Varimathras about this matter, and his explanation was...

The Dreadlord possesses various life-saving skills, and he did indeed kill Balnazzar, though Balnazzar may have had some methods he was unaware of.

Since the new leader has said so, let's find some time to take him down! This trip to the outer realms is a good opportunity.

"It's a wise choice. Just kill the Dreadlords one by one," Rhodes nodded and said.

"I don't really trust him either, but I just don't have a good excuse to kill him. Dreadlords are very skilled in shadow magic and some necromancy-type death spells. Some of my death spells and necromancy were taught to me by the dreadlords," Sylvanas said.

Of course these guys are proficient in necromancy; they come from the Shadowlands and even work with Warden Zoval.

Sylvanas first met the Jailer after Arthas's defeat and death, and she is currently unaware of the Shadowlands.

He didn't want to talk about the Shadowlands, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, Sylvanas! I remember that the blood elves are very skilled at crafting magical weapons. Could you have them forge a special spiked club for me?" Rhodes asked.

The spiked club that Kaido uses in the pirate world is actually just a big iron club with no additional abilities.

But weapons in Azeroth are different. They have various enchantments, glyphs, gem sockets, special forging, and rare materials. A good piece of equipment can further enhance Kaido's strength.

Armor and the like are completely unnecessary for Kaido; they are dispensable to him.

Kaido has strong defenses, and even in his Azure Dragon form, he has scales. Why not peel some of Kaido's scales off and see if we can forge them into armor? That would be pretty good!

Moreover, Kaido can grow to hundreds or even thousands of meters long in his dragon form, so getting a few meters of his dragon hide shouldn't be a problem! With his recovery speed, he should be fully recovered in no time.

At that time, Kaido's scales can be used to make armor, and Kaido's dragon hide can be used to make leather armor; the effect will be absolutely amazing.

Dragon teeth, dragon horns, cough cough, even Kaido's dragon blood.

They might all have special effects; if you make potions or conduct alchemical experiments, who knows what unexpected gains you might make.

As expected of a dragon! It's truly a treasure trove from head to toe. Should we go back and discuss this with Kaido?

Remove the scales, peel off some skin, draw some blood, and so on.

"Crafting a spiked club magic weapon shouldn't be a problem. The blood elves have always owed me a huge favor, and they'll help me with just crafting a weapon. Tell me exactly how you want it crafted," Sylvanas said.

It's just forging a weapon! It's a piece of cake. The current regent of the blood elves, Lor'themar Theron, is still one of his former subordinates.

"We need to build a larger one. My companion is over seven meters tall, which is like a small giant. The length of this spiked club will be around five meters, and the weight will be measured in tons! We need to build at least one weighing around 10 tons," Rhodes said.

With Kaido's current strength, wielding a 10-ton spiked club would be no problem, and he could even swing one that was a little heavier.

"Are you kidding me! Around 10 tons? Forging a weapon like that isn't that simple," Sylvanas said.

Weapons weighing over 10 tons, if used to forge weapons for other ranger units or spellbreakers, would be enough to arm an army of several hundred men.

"Please help me out. I'll give you some special dragon scales with amazing defensive capabilities. How about I have you make a suit of armor as payment? Your current armor isn't very strong," Rhodes said with a smile, looking at Sylvanas.

Look at the armor you're wearing now, it's so shabby. It can only cover three points, and everything else that can be exposed is exposed.

Honestly, is this small, revealing armor more alluring to enemies, or is it more defensively effective?

We have to put some armor on you to cover your body.
