4. Preparation (II)
At a time when the whole world is busy, the clouds of war have begun to loom over the world, and even the pandas, who have always been optimists and don't like war very much, are drawn into this urgent apocalyptic survival.
In the voting of the secret room of the heart of the day, Shao Hao, the emperor of the panda people, also participated in that vote, as a creature who had seen the ancient war take place with his own eyes, Shao Hao did not hesitate too much about resisting the demons.
Panda people like peace, but that doesn't mean they're willing to be enslaved by demons, or they're willing to sit back and watch the world fall into the apocalypse.
To help the world is to protect the panda people themselves.
Under Shao Hao's call, the panda people also joined this big preparation as a whole.
And what Pandaria can provide to the whole world is an extremely important strategic material that is necessary for all living beings... Grain!
The magical water flow of the Splendid Valley flows into the farms of the Valley of the Four Winds, giving Pandalia the most fertile farmland in the world, and those farmlands that have been irrigated by the magical water flow since ancient times can even reach an astonishing horror level of one-day ripening, whether it is rice, melons, vegetables and fruits, or even some magical materials, they can grow rapidly on this land.
In the distant past, when the other races that had come out of ignorance could not have enough to eat, the panda people had enough food to make wine... I have to say that the world will always favor some races, and the panda people are probably the most favored civilization in the world.
In the past half month, the farmers of the Valley of the Four Winds have been very busy, and under the leadership of the managers of the Golden Lotus Sect, these farmers with the best skills in Azeroth have cultivated more land in the Valley of the Four Winds.
And because of the time constraints, the farmers, who were not very fond of mechanical creations, had to receive a lot of mechanical harvesters and seeders from the Federation, as well as all kinds of plant seeds, and in the roar of those huge and heavy mechanical creations, a steady stream of food and harvested potions and medicinal materials were collected, simply shelled and concocted, packed into sackcloth, and sent to the docks of the Emerald Forest and Kasanlang Jungle by the caravans of the land spirits who were replaced with steam trucks, where they were loaded onto merchant ships. It is then sent to various parts of the world.
In just half a month, with the generous support of the panda people, the food storage of the entire world's civilization has increased significantly.
But this is not enough, at the request of the Civilization Alliance Command, the panda people still need to continue to cultivate until the food reserves of the whole world are enough to fight a protracted war, and in order to ensure that such frequent harvesting and planting will not affect the fertility of the farmland itself, the druids from the Blightcaller and the Cenarion Council have also sprinkled precious natural life elixirs, such as fertilizers and pesticides, on the land to ensure that the fertility of the land is always in the best condition.
Of course, there is another slightly strange resource that the round panda people can provide to other races besides food.
That is the wine of their civilized world.
The wine made by the panda people is not just a drink, after being blended by the wine fairies, many wines will have the same effect as medicines, such as the courage wine that can make cowards full of courage, such as the petrification wine that can make the warriors increase their huge defense power in a short time, and the thunder wine that can fill the warriors' bodies with the power of thunder, the blood wine that can relieve the injuries of the seriously injured, and the thunder light concentration tea that can make the magic power of the mages rise quickly...
Ahem, the last one may not be considered wine, but this precious tea can only be made by the tea masters of the panda people.
In short, the wine brewed by the panda people has also become a sought-after strategic material before the arrival of the doomsday war, and the huge demand of various civilizations has even given some breweries that have fallen back to life...
"Cen! Steep! Come and help! A new sake is brewed! ”
Aunt Storm Spirits' sharp voice made Lao Chen, who was eating, couldn't help but rub his ears, Lao Chen stood up, threw a piece of bean paste bun into his mouth, chewed it, walked into the brewery's warehouse, and lifted out the freshly brewed wine, this kind of wine has a very peculiar name, called "Yan Xu", it is brewed by Gao Laobo, the chief brewer of Storm Spirits Brewery.
This kind of wine is very strong, so strong that an old wine fairy like Lao Chen can't bear it, but its effect is also very powerful, after drinking it, the strength and endurance of the warrior, and even the reaction speed are greatly enhanced, just like a strong stimulant, but if you drink too much of this spirit, you will enter a terrifying hangover, and the feeling of a splitting headache is enough to discourage any drunkard.
Uncle Gao's liquor sold very poorly in Pandaria, and even brought the Storm Spirits Brewery to the brink of bankruptcy for a time, but recently the sales of this liquor have been extremely hot, and I heard that the generals outside are buying this liquor on a large scale, and then distributing it to the soldiers as a stimulant used in desperate times.
As the origin of the Storm Spirits family, Lao Chen's ancestors grew up here, so this legendary warrior monk has lived here for a while, and he gets along very well with the Storm Spirits members here, but the good life also has headaches.
For example, Aunt Storm Spirits, who is not very good at ear, always calls Lao Chen's name wrong, she calls him "Cen", which makes Lao Chen very distressed.
But apart from these, this trip to his hometown was still very satisfying to Lao Chen, and he carried the barrel to the small dock behind the distillery, where a land spirit boat was already waiting, and the boat full of spirits would follow the Yanzi River in the Valley of the Four Winds all the way east, to the intersection of the Emerald Forest.
And this land spirit merchant in strange clothes, also in the casual conversation, told Lao Chen a news, it is said that the Shadow Trace Sect has gathered the warriors of the Black Guard, ready to carry out a large-scale military change, in order to deal with the demons that may land in Pandaria, this news made Lao Chen feel the pace of war, it has spread to the edge of the world like Pandaria... This means that the real enemy may soon come.
As a legendary warrior monk, Lao Chen is not afraid of war, but no one knows what the outcome of this apocalyptic battle will be, the panda man looks at the green grassland in the distance, perhaps, even his peaceful hometown will become a scorched earth in this war.
But war will always come...
There is only one way to go, and people can only accept it.
"The war is endless, my generation... What is the battle? ”
Lao Chen asked himself this question in his heart, and after a while, he looked at the mighty Yan Zijiang in front of him, he remembered the sword of destruction that day across the sky, he remembered his powerlessness and pain, that kind of scene, no one wants to see it again.
"Bang!"
The warrior monk threw a punch in the air, and the power of true qi brought a sonic boom in the air, and the panda man looked at his clenched fist, and he felt his heart, the endless courage born in his heart to protect peace, and the despair and fear that were blown away by courage, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is holding these angry fists? How can we get rid of this fear? ”
Lao Chen already had the answer in his heart.
"Only the Tao is natural, just like sticking to the path of the warrior monk and protecting the country! Anbang... Punish the wicked! ”
The panda man patted the wine barrel in his hand, he looked back at his hometown ancestral house, he shook his head, and whispered:
"It's time to go."
"It's time to go to war!"
————————————————————
The end of the world is imminent, the whole world is beginning a crazy crisis to save itself, and under the deep sea, the Nagas are also in action.
Agrama's actions that day have proved that the purpose of the Dark Pantheon to come to Azeroth is extremely simple, the Dark Titan is here to destroy the world, he will not let them go because of the Naga Cholera World, for this group of deep-sea soft-skinned snakes, if they want to continue to live, if they want to continue to do evil in the future world, they must first keep this world from being destroyed.
Once the world is destroyed, they will also wither with the world, and in this case, the Nagas, who have never been very willing to get along with the world, have to take up arms and prepare to fight for this bad world.
However, the form of the Naga determines that it is difficult for these creatures to stay on land for a long time, so in the future battle of the end, their battlefield must also be in the sea.
But now, the queen of the Naga, Lady Essara, does not have much time to coordinate the affairs of the various legions under her command, because Lady Esshara is engaged in a very important work for the world.
On that day, when Agrama grabbed Enzos from the bottom of the sea, the connection between the ancient gods and the world was forcibly severed, which led to a terrible wound on the bottom of the sea in Neolosa, where the world did hundreds of thousands of years ago, exactly like the Well of Eternity.
In the current world, there is no one who knows the magic system of the Well of Eternity better than Queen Azhara, who once lived next to the Well of Eternity, she has owned the Well of Miracles for more than 5,000 years, and she is a true master of how to maintain the second Well of Eternity that appeared in the world of Azeroth, which is also the mission that Elune sent for Azhara.
The spirit of the world knows that her blood is precious, but she is no longer the weak spirit of the world, Elune's current control of the world is enough to allow this terrible wound to heal slowly in time, therefore, she asked Aishara to collect as much of the escaped world blood as possible before the world's scars are healed, as precious materials, and give it to the alliance of world civilizations to attack the incoming demons and elementals.
Azhara accepted the mission, and the proud queen bowed her head not simply because she believed in the power of the spirit of the world, but because Elune promised her that after Azhara completed her mission, she would personally remove the flesh and blood distortion from Azhara and return Azhara to the noble and beautiful upper elf form of the past.
At this time, in the deepest part of the ocean floor, in the ruins of the sleeping city of Niolosa, under the watchful eye of a group of fierce lizardmen generals, and under the gaze of the Titan Guardians with different faces, Queen Eshara concentrated on manipulating powerful magic, and spent several minutes taking out several pieces of something similar to crystal, but more valuable than crystal, from the crack in the ocean floor that surged with blue light in front of her.
Those crystal-like power stones contain unimaginable pure magic and vibrations similar to elemental power.
It was the essence of the blood of the world of Azeroth... In Salas, it would be called "Azeroth", which means "Blood of Azeroth".
"Be careful! Don't touch it! ”
When Queen Naga saw that Mimiron wanted to step forward and touch the crystal that glowed blue and white, she immediately scolded:
"Idiot! It's unstable, it needs some time to cool and solidify, it's so magical and hot that if it explodes, the ruins will be wiped out in an instant! ”
"Have you seen it?"
The mechanical guardian hurriedly withdrew his finger, and Mimiron looked at Queen Azhara, the mechanical gnome asked curiously:
"How do you know it needs to be cooled?"
"Because in the Well of Eternity back then, there were crystals similar to Azerit, but unfortunately, the traces of the world will be healed one day, otherwise, with just these treasures, I can easily build the second, or even third, and fourth Well of Eternity in Azeroth..."
The queen stared at the Ezerit crystal floating in front of her, a glint flashed in her narrowed eyes, and she whispered:
"I know better than any of you that the power contained in these crystals can be used not only to repair the traces of the world, but also to destroy them! Used in warfare, and most importantly, it has some very peculiar properties that I'll tell you about later, and if I were you, I'd collect enough Azerit before the World Trace is healed. ”
"Trust me..."
Queen Azhara's voice sharpened, and she held the Azelit crystal suspended in the water in her hand, and said:
"With the help of these super energy crystals, and with this gift from the spirit of the world, it is not a dream for you to defeat the demons in the battle of doom."
