32. The glory of the fall --- for the Antarctic Ice Wolf brothers
There is always something more important than war, and there are many of them.
Peace, life, life, these things weigh a hundred times more than war, but they are to be achieved through war, and this is the way to go.
Dick knew this very well, if he could not defeat the demon alliance of Argus, one day, the flames of the burning expedition would burn to Azeroth, rather than waiting for them to attack the nest, Dick preferred to take the initiative and take the initiative of the war into his own hands, rather than waiting for Azeroth to turn into a scorched earth in the defensive war, it is better to turn this dead world into a scorched earth.
As a leader, you can be vicious, you can conspire, you can do whatever you want, you can be lewd, you can even be shameless, but you must have a dang, you must be able to see a longer future than your subordinates and ordinary people.
The farmer of the Wild West doesn't care about the legendary demons of the Burning Legion, and he won't lift his weapons and fight them unless the demons bring the flames of war to his farm.
And now, the noblest and most powerful men of Azeroth have stayed in the strange land of Argus, intent on fighting the demons here to the death.
What they have gained with this sacrifice is a nobler future, a group of people to be admired.
"Boom"
Under Freya's guidance, the figures of Dick and the others appeared at a certain node outside the Argus star field, they floated in the void, feeling the special, gravityless environment, where they couldn't breathe, but whether it was Dick or Odin, they all stood there steadily, looking at the super-large group of demon starships moored in the distance.
There is no doubt that it is what Freya calls the "Creator's Chamber".
When the Titans made the Guardians, they had already taken into account the problem of survival in the void in the life of these stone statues, and even Freya, the weakest of these people, could walk on the ground in the void.
After the flash of light brought by Dick appeared, the green mist quickly moved to their side, and Freya's figure holding a thorny wooden staff walked out of the mist quickly, there was no air in the void, so they could only communicate with each other through spiritual links.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Dick asked, Freya nodded, and quickly said in the spirit link, "I feel the energy fluctuations of Lord Iona here, it is very clear, she should have sealed her soul in a small space with a special secret technique after the disaster of the year, so I call it the "secret room", this kind of secret room is supposed to be able to shield all energy fluctuations, but it is still exposed..."
"It's possible that when the Titan Spirit awoke, unconscious fluctuations attracted the attention of demons. ”
Odin's fingers twitched over the Spear of Judgment in his hand, and he muttered, "Based on the image and the mark left by Lord Nogannon, even if Master Iona hadn't been contained, it would not have been possible for her to be so close to Argus, maybe she was lured over, just like us." ”
"You suspect it's a trap?"
Viren's voice followed, "But to be able to capture the seal of the Titan Spirit, Kil'Gardan shouldn't be able to do this yet, so this is Sargeras himself?"
"No, with what we know about Sargeras, if he is here, he doesn't need to set such a trap at all, just carry his sword and cut it, who can we resist?"
Illidan drew his moon blade, and the flame of Aeginos danced on the green arc light, and under his dark red blindfold, the volcano-like eyes flowed with naked killing intent, "This is not a trap, we should kill it immediately!"
"What a waste of time! Don't forget that Argus has a war waiting for us. ”
Dick rejected Illidan's crude and simple offer, squinting his eyes for a few seconds before turning to look at Freya, "Can you establish a link with Lord Iona?"
Freya hesitated, then nodded,
"It's difficult, although this secret room has been discovered, the demons have not completely broken through it, so its blockade of energy continues, and I can only pass the message into the secret room in one direction, but I can't guarantee that Lord Iona will receive it. ”
"Then tell her that the reinforcements will take the initiative to open the secret room in 20 minutes, and it will only take 1 second!"
Freya nodded, closed her eyes and began to use her strength to infiltrate the secret room in front of her, and Dick turned to the three demigods behind him,
"I'm the fastest, I'm in charge of bringing Master Iona out, and when the Chamber of Secrets opens for the second time, I need you to open a path for me in the starship... At the very least, destroy energy shields that might hinder the movement of the light. ”
"No problem! If it's just an instantaneous explosion, we should be able to do it!"
Odin and Illidan nodded at the same time, and Viren took out a brilliant energy crystal from his arms and began to inject holy light energy into it, the priest is not good at frontal attacks, but for demons, the aftermath of the explosion of a holy light crystal full of demigod power is enough to temporarily paralyze the energy generators of those starships.
Dick's idea was simple, he didn't need a frontal attack, he used his speed advantage to enter the secret room, finish the rescue of Iona's Titan Spirit as quickly as possible, and then return to the battlefield of Argus, after losing the protection of the demigod power, Dick was worried about the situation on the battlefield of Crocoun.
"It worked!"
Freya cheered, "Lord Iona responded to my message, the high-level demons have invaded the secret room, she said that there is a natural gap in the southeast direction, we can enter from there, she will open a passage for us in 15 minutes, but only 1 second, otherwise it will be flooded by those demons with spatial teleportation ability." ”
"The adults don't seem to be in a good state..."
Freya wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dick holding out his hand, he looked at Freya and said, "Now go back to Argus, you can't participate in the next battle, go back and tell Torim that they must keep the Crocoon Plains for me until we come back!"
"Yes!"
Freya replied loudly in the spirit world, and then disappeared from the crowd in the light of teleportation, Dick backhanded out the sword of order behind his back, and moved his arms and shoulders slightly, they moved quickly in the void, and soon saw a black vortex in the southeast corner of this empty star field.
It was suspended in the starry sky, like a mud fungus growing in the corner of something that could not be seen, and when it was observed, it would beat slightly, and it could be seen that this dark vortex was trying to expand its existence, but there was obviously another force preventing it from spreading.
The surface of the vortex was surging with energy ripples like water waves, and some high-level demons who could directly operate in the void were guarding outside the vortex with weapons in their hands, and in the distance, there were more than a dozen assault starships similar to the Evil Power Hammer, and even a super-large strategic starship that was more than 10 times larger than the assault starship, which should be the command center of the demons in this star field.
Dick silently looked at the dark vortex in the distance, he silently counted the time in his heart, and when he counted to the 900th second, the silver flame rushed up on him, like a silver armor, and at the moment when the flame appeared, he moved, accelerated, like a real light, and flashed into the secret room that opened a slight gap in the eyes of the demons who guarded the dark vortex without having time to react.
It all happened in an instant, it was done, and by the time the demons howled, the crack had quietly closed, and in the flicker, they seemed to see a world made entirely of green.
"The power of life cannot be trampled on!"
Iona struggled to support her tall body with the white crescent-shaped life wooden staff in her hand, she looked at the high-level demons in the distance who had soaked the dark green evil energy into this land, she angrily urged the little power left in her body, a leaf appeared from her palm, flew away, and was blessed by Iona in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a plant dragon with six pairs of wings and soaring in the sky.
With the punishment of the Mother of Life, it rushed towards the high-ranking demons who were laughing wildly in the flames, trembling with them, and after tearing apart two Eredar demon mages, they were burned to ashes by the other Eredar with demonic fire.
They stood on the ground, which had been completely enveloped in demonic magma and flames, and they were pointing at the noble Mother of Life, laughing wildly, as if they were watching a drowning man slowly drowned.
This true Titan has bronze skin, but in appearance, it is 7 points similar to Freya the Guardian, and it is clear that Freya was modeled after her when she was first made.
She walked through the place, everything grows, flowers overflow, it is a piece of green that represents life, when the Pantheon still existed, Iona personally gave life to countless planets, and she herself is also the representative of the most primordial life in this universe.
She has a human-like form, with a crown of life made of flowers of all kinds on her head, and she has been the caretaker and protector of all life, even the Eredas in front of her, which have been distorted by magical energy.
But she never imagined that one day she would be killed by her own children.
No... In a sense, she was dead, dead in the land of peace Naharan, and the moment Sargeras slashed the planet with a frantic sword, her body was completely torn apart in the indiscriminate fury of the Dark Titan, and she still remembered that the peaceful and beautiful world vault was completely torn apart by a darkness, and endless flame meteorites smashed into the ground from within it.
Before they could unleash their mighty power, they were imprisoned by the former brother who burned all over his body, and he was twisted, and the power of the depravity was even more terrifying, it was an unspeakable rage that crushed them, and the wise Nogannon unleashed the spell that had been prepared long ago, and captured the father of the gods, her husband Almansur, the sturdy Kazgros, and her brave son Gorganus, and his soul into the brilliant purple crystal.
That was their last hope of existence.
But just as Nogannon's power extended to her and Agrama, the Dark Titan laughed wildly and slashed down with another sword, severing that power, and the angry Agrama's soul was captured by Sargeras, and she, in despair, chose to leave.
With the life force flowing in her soul as the most basic framework, she set up a secret room, a small plane drawn from the shattered Naharan, as her hiding place, where she could not stop the exhaustion of her soul and fell into a deep sleep, she did not know what the future would hold.
But there is no doubt that the Pantheon... It's already ruined.
Thousands of years later, Iona awoke, but Sargeras's pursuit followed, and when she saw the lives distorted by evil energy, she knew that the universe was still dark, and that Sargeras's power had spread everywhere.
She was left alone in the once radiant Pantheon, and she could only fight alone.
"Stop, I won't allow you! I won't allow you to destroy lives like this!
The earth of this space began to shake again, and a dozen green vines like giant snakes writhed out of the beautiful pool on that side, rushing towards the demons who were laughing wildly, after these life guardians, the creators who were going to fight to the death, Iona was exhausted to the extreme, her Titan Spirit had been weakened to the extreme in a thousand years of resistance and battle, but she couldn't just give up.
She was going to fight until the last moment, where she was, was the last pure land she guarded, she looked back, her husband, her children, her friends seemed to be behind her, never left, they inspired her with their spirits, just like the first ray of light when the heavens and earth first opened, able to extinguish all darkness.
She is like the last person to stand firm after the collapse of heaven and earth, even if the world has fallen, even if the darkness has come, she still holds on to the glory.
The glory that has fallen.
