Chapter Ninety-Seven: Storming the Temple

"...... Ares"

After the battle of Silishus, the Angela Zerg temporarily hid underground, and the coalition forces passed through the wall of the scarabs. In this devastated and desolate place, Gianna anxiously searched for her lover. She searched intently, not even the slightest amount of magical energy, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the energy emanating from the necklace pendant.

It was the magic pendant she had given to Ares and carried with her. A magic necklace enchanted by Archmage Antonidas herself, and now, no matter how hard she tries, she can't sense that magical power. Could it be that in the battle of the scarabs, Ares was buried alive by the sandstorm? A terrible thought flashed through Gianna's heart. She didn't want to resent Egwene, but it was difficult to control her emotions, and that day, it was Egwene who held her back, and she hadn't been able to rush into the sandstorm and find Ares. But Egwene did it for his own good...... But what's the point of me living alone without Ares? Gianna's heart struggled, nearly collapsing. Finally, she knelt down on the quicksand of Angela's ruins, tears seeping from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't be sad, we're about to take the city, and when the time comes, we'll find Ares' ......"

Dalin walked over and comforted him.

You can see that the whole city has been flooded with yellow sand, and the ruins and broken walls, towering gatehouses and columns are telling the city, the past glory of this civilization. Indeed, the Zerg were one of the most primitive species in Azeroth, and even before the Titans arrived, they developed a high level of civilization.

Thrall walked over to the ruins of a temple and picked up a piece of rubble on the ground, which was half covered by quicksand, and when Sal picked it up, the sand on it kept falling. Looking at the broken rubble, Sal pondered for a long time. Azeroth is truly a magical place that can give birth to brilliant civilizations and spawn endless carnage. Just like this broken temple, it was 10,000 years ago, maybe it was this place of worship called Angela Zerg, imagine how many Angela Bugs were in their heyday, and they could almost fill this desert. And the gods they worshipped, they believed in, Thrall did not know. Perhaps each race has its own beliefs, just as the orcs believe in shamanic teachings, while humans believe in the Light, and the Night Elves believe in nature.

"We're here."

At this moment, Sarufar climbed to the largest part of the ruins and shouted as he pointed to the bottomless underground passage beneath his feet.

Everyone followed, and they could see that in the middle of the ruins, there was an incomparably large underground passage. It's neat, not twisted and disgusting, like the holes left by the diggers. Like these buildings, it has steps, walls, and a large underground passage.

"Brothers, my compatriots, my clansmen, are you ready? Today we will declare war on evil. Whatever is inside, I swear I will go forward for the sake of the tribe. For our new home. ”

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Thrall said, holding the hammer of destruction. His eyebrows knotted together as he looked at the last sunset on the horizon. Indeed, this will be the last sunset for the warriors who are here today. Once inside the cave, they will most likely not see the sun for several days and nights.

For a moment, Sal seemed to understand why humans believe in light sources, and how precious they are to people in despair.

"For the Horde!"

The orcs, minotaurs, and darkspear trolls in front of them raised their weapons and roared in ......

……

"Ares, be careful!"

In the underground palace, the League priest shouted in a hissing voice. Even if their True Word Shield fell on Ares's head, in the face of such a terrifying fire beetle, no one dared to guarantee that their magic shield could block the giant worm's claw attack.

The fire beetle hissed and lifted its heavy, terrifying head, and a pair of giant pincers slashed at Ares like sharp scythes.

However, after being protected by the ancient kings, Ares' power increased significantly, and his actions became more agile. A second before the giant insect stabbed wildly, he leaned over to dodge the attack of the beetle's giant pincers. There was a crisp bite in the air, the sound of a fire beetle attack. Its giant pincers snapped together, making a crunching sound. This sound is so harsh and loud that if a human is bitten, it must be in a different place.

However, Ares nimbly dodged again. And launched a counterattack, and the Ashbringer stabbed from the bottom up, stabbing a large hole in the fire beetle's abdomen, and the beetle's bodily fluids and ruptured internal organs flowed out again.

Hit the key twice, but failed to bite the opponent, the fire beetle was furious. In a heartbeat, he smashed his sharp worm legs at Ares again. Now, Ares has nowhere to hide. After all, the other party is a rampaging alien worm. The sharp claws struck like a scythe, and before he could dodge, Ares drew his sword to meet him.

The Ember Bringer burst into flames at the moment of the hand-to-hand encounter. However, this flame of holy light is almost useless against fire beetles. The fire beetle itself is a sac of flames, and its whole body exudes a scorching heat.

In an instant, Ares, who was still in the upper hand just now, was trampled under the giant fire beetle. The sharp hook on the beetle's leg nearly stabbed Ares in the cheek, but with the sheer hardness of the Ashbringer, Ares was able to block the fire beetle's leg down. But the beetle didn't have only one leg, and soon, the second and third legs were moved and stabbed one after another.

In the nick of time, the giant bear druid roared and rushed towards the fire beetle. With this impact, the fire beetle was staggered, and its center of gravity was unstable. The insect leg that was about to stab was forced to retract in the air, and Ares once again struggled to save the day. But the druid also paid a heavy price, as a piece of its fur was burned off, and a strong smell of burnt could be obtained. The feeling of the flesh being burned was not good, and Ares could imagine how much courage it took to be at that moment. You must know that after transforming into a giant bear, the night elves' senses and touches are almost the same as those of Spirit Bear.

Kooh

At the same time, the Alliance Mage unleashed an arcane blast that smashed the firebeetle back once more. The orc warriors on the side also surrounded and jointly dealt with the Angela fire worm.

However, it didn't work out well.

The swarm was biting at the rest of the squad on the periphery, and the battle could only be ended by killing the firebeetle as quickly as possible. Otherwise, this team will be worn to death by the swarm.

After being shaken back by the arcane impact, the fire beetle rushed forward in a rage again. The druids and the orc warriors were ready to die, but in the moment, Ares thought of a solution.

"Use a frost spell!"

Ares shouted.
