When Guderian returned to the crater of the El Niño Line with the dragon guard, it was January 13, 1696 in the kingdom calendar. At this time, if you are in the southern border of Inca or the southern border of Dayu, it is already spring. However, in the northern part of the continent, it is still cold and windy, and there may even be snowfall. The coldest time in the kingdom was in late February and early March, when the snow began to melt, so when Guderian returned to El Niño with the dragon guard, the weather did not change - the sky was still gloomy and gray, and the ground was still covered with white snow.

In accordance with the orders of Marshal Odin and the established defense plan, Guderian built fortifications on the south side of the El Niño crater to the east and west. The future battlefield will unfold in this area, and further north will enter the densely populated area of the kingdom, and there is no dangerous terrain to rely on. The abandoned southern part of the border is the plains and hills of the river, which used to be the land of fish and rice of the kingdom, but now the people have moved north, and will be occupied by the enemy for many years to come. Fortunately, most of the kingdom's resources are in the northern part of the center, and as long as the enemy's advance is stopped, the kingdom will not follow in the footsteps of the Incas.

Guderian stood on a crater and looked south, his heart fluttering: when Odin and other retreating troops returned, he had to go back to the capital, and his father should always go back to see it. But Natasha's situation is really worrying, and I wonder if Alice can do it......

"Guderian. A familiar voice came. A figure appeared next to several of Guderian's entourage, who was not Fortan Julis?

"Master?!" Guderian said in surprise, turning back.

"It's me. The lich appeared in a hooded black robe, startling Guderian's entourage, and they all drew their weapons and surrounded them, and when they saw that it was someone the general knew, they put down their weapons and retreated.

"Master, what's going on?" Guderian asked, with a blanket of questions, and hurriedly asked after his surprise.

“...... The Abyssal Species have formed an alliance with the Drows...... Now the abyssal species are sending troops to the surface...... "The lich floated close to Guderian and looked out side by side with Guderian.

Guderian was amazed when he heard the lich's words. Do you think that when he and Natasha left the Abyss Battlefield, the two sides were inextricably fought, and how long did it take to reach an alliance and send troops to the surface?

"After you left, the Abyssal Species breached the Abyssal Defenses, and Drow and the Minotaurs retreated. Emperor Karthas of the Drow suddenly appeared and turned the situation around with a team of nearly 100 pure high-end forces. After that, Karthas led his team to break into the abyss camp and take the initiative to negotiate peace with the enemy, but it is not clear how to negotiate specifically. So the two parties who were originally feuding quickly reconciled...... This news is so important to you on the surface that I had to leave the team and return to the surface with my lifebox. Just after I left the group, I was wanted by Drow and the Minotaurs. I didn't expect that after a hundred years, they would still be so wary of me. The lich paused and continued, "After I was wanted, they sealed the Mage Tower in Pearl City, and the act of saving you in the first place also made them suspicious. The traces of your life in the Mage's Tower, combined with the news that you had slain two archmages on the surface, made Karthas furious. So when I arrived on the surface battlefield before I could deliver the message to you...... Seeing that you were attacked by a meteorite shower, I could only hide the life box and replace you into the shadow plane with myself...... After resurrecting from the life box, condensing a new body and waiting for the time of weakness to pass, he followed the route of your retreat and came to you. ”

“...... Master, you saved my life again. Thank you!" Guderian said solemnly to the lich. Had it not been for the Lich replacing Guderian in the Shadow Plane, Guderian would have died under the meteorite rain.

"Where's Natasha?" asked the lich curiously, after receiving a salute from Guderian. It was under his witness that the man and woman were united.

“...... She ...... "At the mention of Natasha, Guderian worriedly recounted the situation after the meteorite rain.

“...... I don't have anything to do......" The lich shook his head as he heard what Guderian had to say.

Guderian didn't have much hope for the lich in the first place, after all, Gandalf had no choice, so he wasn't too disappointed. After a moment of silence, he said, "This information is very important. Two days after tomorrow, after the big marshal returns, I will take you to meet the big man and the masters. ”

“...... I...... Don't see them anymore...... I look like this...... Hey......" The lich's voice grew low.

Guderian also understood the state of mind of Fortan Ullis, so he fell silent again.

"When I fled, I found that Drow's technology was very different from what I expected, so be careful. I'm sure you've both seen steam locomotives underground, and that's one of them. The machine I used to make you step on when I fused souls was a simple version of a generator, which I stole from Drow. I don't know how advanced they are in the ground with what they have mastered. The lich reminded.

Guderian was not too surprised, and on the way out of the underground with Natasha, he had seen a steam locomotive. As for the kind of machinery that can generate the power of thunder and lightning...... The purpose is unknown, and it is impossible to use it as magic like Thor's Fury?

"Master...... There's one thing I'd like to talk to you about. Guderian pondered his words and said, "Before I talk about this, I would like to ask, does the master believe that human beings come from the starry sky?"

The lich turned his head and stared at Guderian for a long time before he said slowly, "Humans are indeed not the natives of this continent. This can be seen in the history of the elves and dwarves reproduced by mankind or from the chaotic accounts of Drow. It's just that how many people believe, I don't know. This is also related to the question of the history of human beings or the Lordaeron continent 2,000 years ago...... What you're going to say has to do with this?"

"Yes. Our world is a circular sphere that floats in the starry sky and revolves around the sun under the gravitational attraction of the sun. Right now, above us, there is a human fleet suspended from a planet called Earth in the depths of the distant starry sky. Guderian said solemnly.

The dead eyes on the lich's expressionless pale face suddenly burst into a fierce light: "...... This...... Where did you know that?" said the lich, looking up at the sky, and even casting a closer-closing spell.

"Master, after I was injured and lost my memory in the Asgard Plains, they took my vision from me as if I were possessed by them using a technique they call soul resonance projection. So, every move I made after waking up from the Asgard Plains was under their control. As Guderian explained, the lich suddenly used an unknown spell to envelop Guderian in an oval-gray shroud to isolate himself.

"Don't worry, masters, they have no ill will towards us. Their planet was destroyed by an unknown enemy, leaving only their only fleet to escape beyond our planet. They ran out of energy, and their attempts to come to Lordaeron to replenish their energy were blocked by an unknown barrier. So they used soul resonance projections on me, trying to understand why the barrier was formed and how to break it. Guderian motioned to the lich not to worry, he was still himself, and had not been possessed or made into a puppet by others.

The lich's dead eyes looked at Guderian for a long time before he removed the shield of the unknown and said, "This is too sensational...... If you hadn't told me personally, I would have thought that the person who said this was crazy or possessed by the earthlings you mentioned. ”

“...... That's just the way it is. They communicated with me once, and the next communication will be ten days away. The people I communicate with have injected some of their basic knowledge of the earth into my sea of consciousness, so I am not at all amazed at the technology that Drow has mastered. Such a level, in the history of earthlings, belongs to the first and second industrial revolutions. "Guderian arrived.

“...... Industrial Revolution?Are Earthlings Human Just Like We Are?" The Lich has many questions.

"Judging from the knowledge that the people I communicate with have injected into my sea of consciousness, we are the same species as earthlings. The Industrial Revolution is the base for the explosion of science and technology on the earth, which is very long...... All you have to know is that before the Industrial Revolution, their world was the same as ours today and that there was no magic. Guderian said.

"You say they've injected basic knowledge into your sea of consciousness...... How do they do it?" the lich was curious, it was the easiest and quickest way to pass on knowledge. If the humans of the Lordaeron Continent had mastered this kind of technology, then it would be too rebellious for the mass production of mages or other professions.

"The person I communicated, under the soul resonance projection technology, the relationship between the two of us has achieved the effect of the legendary elven symbiosis magic. So when the other party communicates with me, they are in the sea of my consciousness. At that time, before I felt it, I suddenly understood a lot of things, just like I had read many books and studied for many years. As for how the other party did it, I lost it before I could ask. communication," Guderian said.

"......" the lich raised his head again, staring at the sky.

"Master thinks, should we help them?"

“...... What do they say?"

"They asked me to collect a dynastic history and solve the mysteries of that period of time to find out why the unknown barrier was formed or what the unknown barrier was. Guderian explained.

“...... All right...... It's a bit of a challenge. The Lich said.

"Natasha and I met the Spider-Man tribe underground...... We have from them the historical accounts of their ancestors about the continent, before and after the elves did not leave the continent. Guderian thought about it and said it anyway......
