Day after day, year after year, the stone giant Fezruk wandered around the Arathi Highlands.
No Arathi knew what he did. He never attacked people, but once he was attacked, he would tell you what the wrath of a giant was.
Thousands of years had passed since ancient times.
Countless people had tried to kill Fezruk to obtain the legendary treasure. Some had even gathered several powerful Radiant Moon Mages to encircle and kill the stone giant.
No one had succeeded?
No! They had succeeded!
In historical records, at least three groups of people had succeeded in killing it.
In the end, there was nothing.
There were no treasures, no clues to any treasures, only worthless stones and a large pile of iron ore.
However, after a few days, the stone giant Fezruk came back to life, forgetting about the humans who had attacked and killed him. He seemed to wander around the designated area of the Arathi Highlands in a daze.
But the orcs did not know this story!
Hearing the orc leader threaten Duque in the common language, and Duque shamelessly claiming that Fezruk was his servant, the knights around Duque all understood what kind of person their master was.
Damn it! He's full of evil tricks!
But … we like it!
A boss who can kill the orcs is a good boss.
Those who were wary of mages as lords naturally did not choose to follow Duque. Those who were willing to follow him were, of course, mentally prepared.
Moreover, after fighting with the orcs for so long, they had more or less lost friends and family in battle. Seeing that the orcs were about to occupy more than half of the Arathi Highlands, how could the knights be in a good mood?
In the end, the actor Duque, with a group of extras, walked past the stone giant. As he walked past, Duque did not forget to shout, "Kill him, Fezruk!"
In the carriage, Illucia, who was standing behind Duque, was so nervous that her heart was about to fly out of her chest. She could not help but tightly pull on the corner of Duque's shirt. Duque was stunned. He was a little unhappy at first, but seeing Illucia's expression, which looked like she was about to cry but did not dare to, Duque could only comfort her softly.
"Don't worry, Fozrook won't take the initiative to attack."
"What if … what if we accidentally touch it?" Elusia's eyes were filled with tears.
Duque patted Sylvanas on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Sylvanas has Mislead."
Queen Sylvie glared at Duque, clearly saying, "You're full of bad ideas."
Seeing Cirvanas' expression, Illucia calmed down a little.
Sure enough, Duque's group quickly passed through without any danger.
On the other hand, the stone giant, Fezruk, continued to march forward in the direction of the Horde's army.
If today's commander-in-chief was not the young and energetic Redd Blackhand, but a more mature tribal chief, he would definitely not act so rashly.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.
"Let the Dragon Cavalry attack!" Randt's order was relayed to the Dragonmaw Beastman Dragonriders hovering in the air.
It just so happened that Zuluhed was on a different front today.
The Horde missed this last chance to avoid making a mistake.
In order to show off his strength and his leadership that was not inferior to his father, Blackhand, he only ordered the Dragonriders to attack Fezruk instead of Duque's group.
Perhaps he felt that Sylvanas's arrows were still a threat to the Dragonriders.
Or perhaps he thought that killing the stone giant, which Duque relied on the most, would deeply affect the morale of Duque's group.
Anyway, tens of thousands of Orcs entered into a spectator mode, watching a dozen Red Dragons fight the stone giant.
Fezruk was very strong. A creature that could truly be called a giant was not weak. After being attacked, it immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Huge rocks smashed the bones of several Red Dragons, causing them to let out miserable cries before falling to the ground.
After a full fifteen minutes, after paying the price of the lives of twelve young Red Dragons, the stone giant Fezruk fell and turned into a pile of burning rubble.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? Duke Marcus! This is the fate of the powerful elemental creature you rely on! Stupid despicable man, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Why don't you use them all at once? "Randt's loud laughter aroused the Orcs' cheers.
Their wild laughter was so loud that it was as if the whole world was laughing at Duque's overconfidence.
No one noticed that Sylvanas's agile and fast figure had flashed next to the stone giant Fezruk's body, took something, and then quickly returned to Duque's side.
Duke tossed a small stick that glowed with a dull earthen glow to Gavin Rard beside him.
"Yo, Gavinrad, do you remember the series of tasks I gave you?"
"Ugh!" Gavinrad recalled the task Duque gave him before he came to the Arathi Highlands, and still felt a headache.
In the northern mountains of the Arathi Highlands, the loyal Paladin Gavinrad followed the Great Hoodwinker Du's instructions to find the whereabouts of a princess.
The poor princess was imprisoned under a huge crystal. Her voice was soft and sweet, as if she was crying and complaining, begging the just Paladin for help. This scene was like the reappearance of countless fairy tales — the princess was in trouble, but where was the brave prince?
Something was not right.
Why would a princess be imprisoned in a place like this?
He had never heard of any princesses from the seven major human kingdoms, dwarves, or elves going missing. But since it was a task Duque had instructed him to complete, Gavinrad had no choice but to obey.
In the following days, the Paladin almost broke his legs from running around.
He went to bully the kobolds and collect Myzrael's Dust.
Then he went to fight some messy small elemental creatures and unlock the Jailor Stone.
Finally, the mysterious princess's instructions were to deal with the biggest mystery of the Arathi Highlands, the stone giant Fezruk.
Gavinrad still remembered the princess's last request in a clear voice:
"The opening of the Jailor Stone has basically unlocked these things that are binding me, but there is still an unbreakable lock that prevents me from moving. Do you see the Key Stone in this circle of stones? The key to open the lock is in the hands of Fezruk. He is one of the giants that imprisoned me and also the guardian of this stone lock.
"You must obtain a key called [Magic Wand of Order] from Fezruk to open the Key Stone. You have already done so much for me, great knight. Just one more insignificant favor … I will be even more grateful to you! "
Unknowingly, the consecutive tasks were about to be completed! Although he did not know what kind of princess it was, he was a knight that saved the princess!
Gavinrad was a little excited just thinking about it.
