The pitch-black sky, the colorful clouds hanging overhead like the Milky Way, Luo Ning walked forward step by step, followed by no less than fifty warriors and a dozen battle mages, all of them were following their leader in despair. There is no goal, and there is no purpose, just walking freely on this barren and vast land.

Ronin tried to find the main force, but the red land was deserted except for the occasional wind and sand. A few hours ago, the Hellfire Peninsula was still a scene of hot and bloody fighting, and the sky was as red as blood, but now, this sky is so dark, like a deep black hole, there is no end in sight.

And this team seemed to be walking on an endless timeline, almost identical scenery, which made Luo Ning wonder if he was standing still.

He felt a strange confluence of forces here. Shadow and light, chaos and order, holiness and evil, even the power of magic is divided here, and they compete with each other, but they also hold each other back and maintain balance. This dynamic balance of division and unity made Luo Ning feel annoyed. He didn't understand what was upsetting him, maybe it was the fear of the unknown? The faint worry about the unknown world has caused him to be in an unstable mood now.

But one way or another, he can't show it. There is a team of nearly 100 people waiting to be led by himself. At critical moments, the leader must not show feelings of loss or irritability, otherwise, the soldiers will be even more irritable. Even less confident.

"Brothers, do you feel it?"

Luo Ning turned around and said mysteriously to the Dalaran mages behind him.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen Dalaran fighters Dalaran answered him in unison - "Yes." ”

"A strange energy, it's very unstable, it seems to be coming from the southeast."

A Dalaran wizard said melancholy.

"Yes, that's what I feel, it's strange, energy we've never felt in Azeroth, isn't it?"

Luo Ning said, continuing to move forward step by step.

After a few hours, the crowd finally found the location of the source of the energy emanation, and many were already exhausted after a long battle and walking on foot. Luckily, the place resembles an abandoned fortress, with broken houses and bunkers in ruins. Luo Ning took the lead and walked in, the ground was scattered with dried skeletons, and several skulls were half buried in the sand, revealing half of the skeleton's head. It's just that, unlike the undead, these skeletons don't stand up.

The sight in front of him made it easy for Luo Ning to guess what had happened here before. It looks like this is where the first Union expeditionary forces fought twenty years ago. The Coalition soldiers had been stationed here to fight, and the shattered skeletons were telling, some shattered from the thigh down, some with their heads split in half. Only an orc has that much strength......

"You guys take a rest here first, and I'll investigate the source of the energy."

Luo Ning said, removing the kettle from his waist and carefully using every drop of water in it. Because everyone knows that it is very difficult to find a water source in this barren land.

The warriors dropped their heavy shields and weapons and rested on the spot, they had been walking on the arid land for more than ten hours in a row, and with the previous battle with the demons, it was close to the limit of human physical strength. Some fighters even fell asleep upside down.

"Luo Ning, we're with you."

Ronin drank the last drop of water from the pot and was about to head to the center of the ruins, when several Dalaran mages stopped him.

You can see that everyone is actually very tired, but they are not worried about their leader.

"Okay, let's do it together, but be careful, bring your weapons, all the creatures that may appear in the dark are not easy to deal with."

Luo Ning said, holding a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, and cautiously walked towards the tower in the middle of the ruins.

The closer they got to the tower in the middle of the ruins, the more Ronin and the mages felt that something was wrong with that strange energy. It is like a vortex of time and space, devouring everything around it, not even the light and shadow seem to be able to escape, the energy of magic, the energy of light or shadow, and other energies cannot escape.

It's like a huge whirlpool on the ocean, madly devouring the surrounding water, and here, the sea becomes time and space. Passing by a ruined house, Ronin could clearly see the burning bonfire on the ground. It seems to be immortal for ten thousand years. However, if the first coalition expeditionary forces had been left, it would have been extinguished long ago, and there would have been no supplies for it to burn for twenty years.

Holding back his curiosity, Luo Ning ignored the flame and continued to walk.

In front of the tower, he seemed to feel the time and space around him distorted. He glanced down at his pocket watch, which had always been very accurate on a daily basis, and it didn't move at this time! Yes, the pointer faltered as if it had been frozen by some force!

There also seemed to be some kind of familiar sound coming from within the tower, like people's conversations and cries.

All these strange scenes made Luo Ning and the other mages feel nervous. At this point, he began to rejoice that he had left the warriors far from the tower, otherwise it would have seemed like a terrible journey.

Feeling the power of the energy vortex, Luo Ning threw a small pebble into it, only to see that the small pebble disappeared the moment it was thrown into the tower! And the tower seems to be repeating the scene of the past. The voice became more and more pronounced.

"I'll go in first, Archmage."

Just as Ronin was about to step inside to find out, Dalaran's magic apprentice Max stood in front of him. The young man nodded solemnly. Signaling that there is danger for him to come first, after all, Ronin is the future of Dalaran.

With that, the young magician apprentice stepped into the boundaries of the energy vortex.

In an instant, Luo Ning didn't even have time to hold the apprentice's hand, and the magician apprentice disappeared into thin air at the edge of the energy vortex!

"Damn it."

didn't have time to think about it, Luo Ning stepped in with his hind feet.

In an instant, the world in front of him changed to a different shape. Gone are the shattered lands of the Outlands, replaced by vast expanses of red plains, covered with scattered vegetation. The sky is still a fiery red color, but there is an atmosphere, and the starry sky is no longer visible. The tower in front of me has a new look, as if it has just been built.

"Yes, it was just built!"

Luo Ning shouted, and he saw countless soldiers in alliance armor around him staring at them with malicious eyes, but they were not soldiers with physical existence, but pale ghosts! Obviously, the world is not friendly to him, and the ghosts of the Alliance soldiers regard the mages who have broken into this place as intruders!
