45. Post-war

By the time Aregos dragged Dick out of Cthun's wreckage with his scarred body, the paladin had been corroded to the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Cthun was even more miserable, the Titan energy that burst out of the alien space inside his body broke through its restraints after reaching a saturation level, like a nuclear bomb that was detonated, easily tearing Cthun's body to pieces.

Although it is said that the old gods can still live in the form of chaotic souls after being separated from the body, when the golden and blue Titan energy fills the hall, it is impossible for any disordered chaos to exist in this situation.

Not to mention Cthun, who is already weakened to the extreme, but that doesn't mean Cthun is dead.

In fact, on the continent of Pandaria, which is still shrouded in mist, there are still 7 remnants of the strongest ancient god Ashaji who was killed tens of thousands of years ago, and the old gods will not really die, but at least this time Dick used his life to adventure to indeed defeat all of Cthun's consciousness.

Even if the chaotic energy that it remained on this land converged and formed again, it would only form another monster, and it would no longer have a chance to become a true ancient god.

So theoretically, this blow with the help of the power of the prison itself did kill Cthun.

They did something that even the Titans couldn't do, but this was also because Cthun died himself and gave up his connection with Azeroth, otherwise even if they had the strength to kill the Old Gods, Dick and the others would not dare to risk harming the planet itself to kill a weakened Old God.

From this point of view, Deathwing may not have had any good intentions in suggesting that Cthun escape from prison in the first place, otherwise the scheming Black Dragon King would not have allowed Aregos to witness all this.

Cthun's body overwhelmed by the Titan's energy was scattered everywhere, staining the entire hall with a disgusting smell, and the red dragon Kerestraz, who was supported by Merinsera, bent down and held Cthun's last remains, the yellow eyeball, which had shrunk to the size of a human head, in his hand.

The eyeballs still smell of chaos, but they have lost their spirituality.

It would be a good sacrifice that cultists wanted, but it would no longer be a sacred object to be worshipped.

Aregos looked at Dick, whose skin was corroded all over his body, and even revealed his white bones, leaving only one breath, he gritted his teeth, and a wisp of blue liquid bloomed on his fingertips, which made Merinsela raise his eyebrows,

"You're going to separate the source of your power, it will make you weak!, and I don't think His Majesty Malygos will understand your actions, Blue Dragon... The number of blue dragons is already very small. ”

Aregos didn't look back, and the liquid that lingered with blue light was placed on Dick's bloody body,

"He already has the power of three dragons in his body: green dragon, red dragon and bronze dragon, I can guess why my father didn't give him the essence of the blue dragon, but I can't sit back and watch him die like this, he shouldn't die like this, he will be a great guardian, a guardian greater than you, more than me, and even more than my father. ”

The dwarf, whose face had become ugly, shrugged his shoulders,

"Besides, I'm just doing what I think I need to do, I need you to take him to the Emerald Dreamland, Merlene, only the healing technique applied by His Majesty Ysera himself can heal this wound that has been corroded by ancient evils! ”

"It's time to tell everyone that we're alive and celebrate the birth of a true Guardian!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No one knew what had happened to Dick, and Anaclius only informed the Coalition commanders of the news, but everyone was relieved to learn that Cthun was dead, that the Empire of Chila had collapsed, and that Dick was unharmed.

The frontal war is over!

But the trouble is not over yet, although the Qila Empire has collapsed, but at least tens of thousands of insects have escaped from the Qila Temple, these guys who are good at lurking underground have no control, and they will become more and more crazy, and the predictable future, at least in ten years, the situation in Silisus will definitely not be too stable.

But this great desert itself is an alien place of the civilized world, so no one here will care about the situation except for the druids of the Cenarion Council, in fact, the leaders of various countries have their own troubles.

After this battle, the number of adventurers who withdrew from the temple with the remnants of the army was very small, but compared to the number of nobles in this world, there were many people, and the druids and paladins didn't care, it was nothing more than paying a little more glory and risk, but for the human world, if the sudden emergence of so many small nobles was not arranged well, it would definitely cause an earthquake.

But to be honest, it's not a big deal, because they don't have a fief, they just enjoy titles and some privileges, and if they work well, they can also enhance the strength of the country, and these adventurers who can survive the siege of the Zerg have two brushes, and they are all talents that are very welcome by the military of various countries.

Sometimes all they need is a chance, and the Battle of Quicksand gave them that opportunity!

It is worth mentioning that Archbishop Benedictas was the first big man to leave Silishus, and a cultist rebellion broke out near Lakeside Town in Stormwind, which forced him to return to Stormwind early, which disappointed Liadline and Verinde, who had already secretly arranged many tricks in the fall of Cthun.

As Dick's most trusted, soul-connected subordinates, they knew the true identity of Benedictas, and when they invited the archbishop to come to Silisus, Dick had a plan to eradicate these rats, but now it seems that this arrangement is useless.

On the fifteenth day after the battle, the last army, Silver Dawn from Theramore, left the Ruined Battlefield and were to pass through the Angolo crater, enter the Great Desert of Tanaris, and then return to Theramore on board the ships of Kurtilas in the port of Hot Sand.

The departure of the Silver Dawn heralded the official end of the Battle of Quicksand, but the Ruins Battlefield and the Cenarion Fortress did not calm down, the situation in the northern frontier gave the druids a good idea, and the mercenary union that was said before the war was also opened in the Ruined Battlefield, the druids provided supplies and tasks, and the management was formed by the old mercenaries who were unwilling to accept the recruitment of other forces, and the hunting ground of Silisus was officially opened.

With a steady stream of adventurers entering the desert every day, and with the idea of making a fortune and making a fortune, the hot sand harbor trading company in Kakisen soon smelled the scent of gold coins, and after they joined, a formal trade route was formed, and the frustrated adventurers who had been squeezed out of the hunting grounds of the northern frontier by other adventurer groups soon found a new target.

Then in Silisus, the place where the bones of countless warriors were buried.

One month later, the Battle of Quicksand Monument was erected in the hands of the dwarven craftsmen of Ironforge.

It was a majestic monument, a sculpture made of the finest white jade, blessed by the mages with strong magic, so that it could be preserved in this quicksand for at least 1,000 years, and it was a top-notch sculpture designed by Mr. Alex, the top architect of Stormwind City, who was commissioned by the Coalition Officials.

It was a huge sculpture, on which the warriors of all races, under the guidance of the coalition leaders, drew their swords and charged, and opposite them, there were dense ugly bugs, their evil leaders entrenched at the end, Alex restored the images of the twin emperors and Cthun, in the sculpture, the coalition forces were white on one side, and the bugmen were dark green, intertwined with light and shadow, and at the top of the stone sculpture there were blurred images of dragons and demigods, and on the other side were shadows that obscured the sky and the sun.

At the bottom of the stone carving, there is a stone platform piled up with thousands of real insect corpses, those hideous, terrifying, and creepy forms that make ordinary people creepy really set off the difficulty and glory of this battle.

At the front of the coalition, a paladin with a strange and solemn mask held a war hammer alof, symbolizing the courage and indomitability of the civilized world, it was Dick, and everyone knew it.

It was he who ignited the courage of the soldiers before the battle, it was he who freed the soldiers of the Titans in the most difficult times, and it was he who went into the abyss alone in the most dangerous times to face the Old Gods.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of this sculpture, there are also adventurers who are disheveled, but also shouting and charging, which is probably the first time that these humble creatures have appeared in history in this frontal form.

This has also made countless mercenaries talk about it, especially those adventurers who have returned with honor, they have almost become a ray of light in the dark world, giving countless people of the same kind a better hope, every year countless travelers risk all kinds of dangers to make pilgrimages here, as well as those surviving soldiers and the descendants of adventurers.

Everyone standing here will be shocked by the momentum and meaning of this sculpture, the indescribable heaviness that makes this place an unskippable stroke in the history of Azeroth's civilization, flowers and mourning may not comfort the heroic souls of the warriors, but the remembrance from the whole world gives meaning to their sacrifice.

Next to the sculpture titled "The Battle of Quicksand", there is a solemn monument with Dick's speech before the battle written in seventeen languages, as well as a record of the battle.

"In the 23rd year of the Dark Gate, 170,000 warriors of Azeroth gathered here to wage war against the dark Chira Worms!"

"The war lasted 5 months and 17 days, and more than 90,000 people were buried here, and the Qilaworm people finally collapsed. ”

"Glory is here, courage is here, victory is here!"

"This isn't the first time we've given everything we have for the world, but this one will be remembered by history. ”

"Once again, we use our courage to declare to the world: we are not ants!"

"Courage is not extinguished, justice is eternal!"

Twenty-three years after the end of the War of the Quicksands, the last large hive hidden in Silisus was completely destroyed by a group of adventurers known as the "Elwyn Forest", and the formed Qila civilization finally disappeared into history.

Although the place is still plagued by the remnants of Cthun, and the birth of Zergs continues, they have returned to the wilderness and can no longer threaten this beautiful civilized world.

This is the end of the Second Battle of Quicksand, and this is also the last Battle of Quicksand, Silisus, and it has been peaceful ever since.
