Chapter 107: The Ancient God (I)
"Brothers, all the warriors of the Alliance and the Horde, please listen to me."
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Ares shouted, and the crowd fell silent. They turned to look at Ares, the hero who dominated the battle, and yes, no one would question Ares' merits in this battle. Even the orcs and night elves cast respectful glances. But what Ares had to say next shocked everyone.
"You guys are brave, we won the war, we killed the twin emperors of the Angela Zerg, it was a great victory, but...... And that's not the final victory. β
After Ares finished speaking, the audience stood still. They don't understand what the legendary paladin said, what does it mean that it is not the final victory? Even Gianna looked at Ares in surprise. Her eyes were filled with confusion, as if to say - dear, what's wrong with you? You are crazy? This is not at all what should be said now?
But Ares stood up straight, and continuedβ
"Yes, it's not the final victory, we don't even count as stepping into the door of victory, because we've killed only two puppets. That's right, the Twin Emperors are the kings of the Angela Zerg and the commanders of the insects, but they are not the brains of the swarm, they are just two puppets, responsible for commanding the swarm. The brains of the swarm are Cthun. A terrifying ancient evil god. β
After saying this, the audience fell silent, a suffocating silence, silent. The paladin doesn't lie, but this statement shocked everyone again. The Kalimdo coalition is fighting not only against the swarm, but also against the Elder Gods? And among them, many people don't even know what the ancient gods are, let alone heard of them.
Only Egwene and Brian looked at each other in surprise, and they all frowned.
After a long time, another voice sounded on the field. It was the voice of Brian, the great dwarven explorer.
Maybe he's right...... I mean, Ares is right, the swarm is evolving, and the rate of evolution is amazing, however, without a single mastermind, the Zerg would not have evolved at such a rapid rate. β
"Maybe Cthun is real."
He continued. At this point, there was an uproar on the field, and the coalition forces had fought hard, fought bloodily, and almost completely defeated the Twin Emperors of Angela, and now, the two men told them that the real mastermind was still to come. The Twin Emperors are already so difficult to deal with, so the strength of this mastermind behind the scenes can be imagined.
The heavy atmosphere made everyone bow their heads. But no matter what, the battle continues......
The orcs quickly regained their strength.
"Say, paladin, where is that Cthun? Elder God, let me know it! β
Brooks yelled.
He clenched his tomahawk tightly and once again showed an exuberant fighting mood.
"I don't know. Maybe in some corner of this palace, maybe in the depths of the hive, maybe at our feet, maybe behind this wall......"
Ares replied calmly. Indeed, he didn't know where Cthun was, only that it existed.
"We need to find it out."
Egwene said, dragging his heavy, tired body. She walked to the center of the crowd with Gianna's help.
"How do you find it? The city is huge, even bigger than Orgrimmar. Without coordinates, we can't find this monster. β
Brooks then asked. This exuberant fighting mood reminded Ares of Sparta, an ancient people that existed on Earth before the time crossing. This kind of people lived by fighting, and fighting was the mission of every man in the tribe in his life, and dying in battle was the highest glory of the Spartans. One of their famous sayings - the Spartans never asked how many enemies there were, only where they were. The reaction of the orc warrior Brooks in front of him was like that of a Spartan warrior, he never asked how many swarms there were, nor how strong the opponent he was about to face, he only asked one thing - where is the enemy......
"Can't find it? I don't think so. β
Brian spoke suddenly. Ares knows this guy's abilities, half of Azeroth's secrets were discovered by this dwarf, and his archaeological experience can be said to be unmatched. And now is the time to play to his strengths. Some secret knowledge is unknown to others, but this old guy knows it clearly. Perhaps Ares' words reminded him.
"Look where these bugs come out."
Brian said. People immediately noticed the countless small beetles on the ground, they were not aggressive, they were just scurrying around aimlessly, unlike the bloodthirsty scarabs just now, these beetles were almost indistinguishable from the insects in the rest of Azeroth. But Brian noticed the trajectory of their movements.
The crowd looked in the direction the dwarf was pointing.
Sure enough, all the beetles seemed to crawl out from the same direction.
"The wall!"
Shiloma shouted.
Well, the sealed chamber......
The crowd was once again ready for battle. The goblins began to carry their bombs, the Blackwater Bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that they had tried again and again. Blowing up swarms, blowing down tunnels, blowing up stone walls, it can do anything. This was also the main siege weapon of the coalition forces in the siege of Angela.
Ten minutes later, a full fifty large black water bombs were placed on the edge of the inner wall of the Great Hall of the Twin Emperors.
"You'd better back away from the debris from the bomb."
The goblin leader, the arms dealer Atwood, said.
The large forces began to retreat.
Everyone stared nervously and excitedly at the wall and the bombs that had been planted. Witness a moment in history, the god of antiquity, which no one here has ever seen.
As the fuse was lit, more than ten seconds later, a loud explosion of explosives rang out. The impact of the explosion caused everyone to defensively and squint their eyes to avoid the flying sand.
"Come on, get on, we'll see that monster!"
The goblins shouted excitedly and began to rush forward to test their blasting results.
However, to everyone's surprise - the goblin bombshell, the large black water bomb, did not have the slightest effect on this stone wall. It stood there, motionless, not even showing signs of being injured. The surface of the stone wall is still intact, as if nothing had happened!
Not convinced, the orcs slammed the wall with their hammers, and the stone wall responded to them with an incomparably hard surface. Yes, intact, even the totem slam of the minotaur could not help this ancient stone wall. The Alliance's mages used Arcane Blast, trying to blast it open with the power of their spells. However, the stone wall was like a mirror, reflecting all spell attacks and almost killing the mages...... Now, everyone believes that behind this wall, there must be a secret hidden behind it......
