Chapter 42: Illidan Strikes

A few days later in the morning, next to a large road in the Silver Pine Forest.

It was now a break in the march, and Claudia, dressed in armor, carrying a silver hand on her back, and a thin sword hanging from her waist, was calming her warhorse.

At the moment, like Varian, she is wearing plate armor on the outside and Mithril chain mail on the inside, and the current Silver Pines Forest is not a safe place, and the Gilneys are hiding inside the walls of Greyman, and there are only werewolves and undead left outside the walls, and they may encounter battle at any time and place.

There are not many troops accompanying Varian and Claudia this time, only nearly a hundred royal knights, but even if there are not many troops with them, the safety of the human army is guaranteed, you must know that the overall terrain of the Silver Pine Forest is gentle, and the royal knights are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if you encounter a large group of enemies who can't be defeated, it's a big deal to run.

And there is actually no need to bring too many people in this operation, the main thing that the Night Elves need is for humans to help search for Illidan's traces, as for the battle, there are not many Naga people around Illidan, and as long as the number of people is not large enough to a certain extent, the existence of heroes is crucial, this time humans and Night Elves can dispatch a total of six heroes, not to mention the existence of the strongest archmage in this operation.

In addition to Claudia and Varian, Gianna was also involved in the operation, she has been more laid-back recently, and her strength is very strong, which is of great help in killing Zachaz, so she was also invited by Claudia and Varian.

Gianna, the beautiful archmage, walked up to Claudia and said, "I find you unhappy? Is it because of the land? ”

Claudia sighed: "Yes, the Silver Pine Forest is my hometown, although I am mentally prepared, it is still very uncomfortable to see it now, you must know that it was very beautiful and prosperous in the past. ”

Gianna sighed with affection, she had studied in Dalaran next to the Silver Pine Forest for many years, and naturally knew what the Silver Pine Forest used to be like, and comforted Claudia and said:

"One day we will reclaim this place and restore the beauty of the Silver Pine Forest."

"I hope so." Claudia has little hope for this, the withered and withered forest can still be restored by the druids, and the undead and werewolves can be slaughtered, but the lost population of the entire area is not so easy to regain, it will take nearly twenty years for people to grow after all, and the silver pine forest will need at least nearly a hundred years to thrive and flourish again.

Varian walked over and interrupted the conversation between the two ladies, "Gianna, Claudia, it's time, we need to meet up with the Night Elves as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, Varian." Claudia and Gianna got into action.

At the same time, at the ruins of Dalaran, Illidan and Vasqi slowly walked into the ruins with a Naga army.

Feeling the terrifying arcane energy contained under the earth, Illidan nodded with satisfaction: "This is it, those human mages are very discerning, thousands of miles of magic net energy have been gathered here by the leylines, this powerful force is enough for me to achieve my goal." ”

Speaking of this, Illidan glanced at Vaschi, who had been standing quietly beside him, and continued, "Ma'am, aren't you curious about what I'm going to do? ”

Vaschi bowed respectfully: "My lord, according to the instructions given to me by the queen before leaving, I only need to obey your orders unconditionally. ”

Illidan said lightly: "I will hold a spell ritual to recreate the scene of the heavens and the earth falling apart in ancient times, tearing the entire Northern Rift Continent and the Lich King apart, and sending them to the bottom of the sea." ”

"Destroy a continent? How can it be! ”

Vassky was horrified and looked at Illidan in awe, as a lady-in-waiting who had been standing beside Queen Aishara since ancient times, she had naturally witnessed the scene of the heavens and the earth shattering after the explosion of the Well of Eternity in ancient times.

The sky was shaking, the earth was falling apart, the world was collapsing everywhere, and eighty percent of the land of the entire ancient Kamlido continent was completely shattered, leaving only a handful of lands and archipelagos, and it was in that disaster that Vasqi was swept into the bottomless abyss of the maelstrom, and since then he has been cursed and turned into an abominable Naga.

However, what really destroyed the world back then was not actually a spell, but the collapse of the Well of Eternity, and now Illidan actually said that he could destroy a continent by himself, could it be that his strength was close to that of the true god?

Illidan looked at Vaschi with satisfaction with the look of shock on his face, he could guess what Vaschi was thinking, but he neither explained nor needed to explain, it was still necessary for the superior to maintain a certain mystery under his subordinates.

Illidan ordered: "In a moment, you will take people to divert the mages and human armies left nearby, remember to leave four mages to assist me in the ceremony, and leave enough soldiers to keep me and the mages safe, and we must not be disturbed during the ceremony." ”

Vasqi's heart was already full of awe, and he bowed his head and said, "Obey, Lord Illidan, I'll arrange it!" ”

Soon after, the four Naga mages were in place, and Vasqi was on her mission.

Illidan walked to the center of the circle, grabbed the artifact Eye of Sargeras, and prepared to perform a ritual to destroy the entire Northern Rift.

Illidan's power is naturally not close to the true god, he is actually not even a demigod, at this time he has only found his own path, taken the first step, and can use the power of the law, if he wants to become a real demigod, he still needs to accumulate for a long time on the chosen path.

Demigods are not much stronger than heroes physically, and they will die if they are slashed in close combat, and even the powerful guardian Medivan has been stabbed to death by a mortal sword, but the reason why demigods are powerful is that they can be resurrected again by binding other planes, and second, they can use the power of the law.

In the case of Illidan, even if he is killed at this time, he will not die forever, and with the help of the Eye of Sargeras and the arcane power contained in this demonic net, he can even use the laws he has mastered to do things like destroying the continent, which is a power that mortals can never imagine.

"Let's get started."

Illidan ordered the four mages, and the mages began to chant incantations, and the massive arcane energy in the leylines began to be extracted, pouring out from the depths of the earth, converging around several mages, and the air around the mages also rippled slightly, and as far as the naked eye could see, all objects were dyed with a layer of purple by this huge arcane energy, beautiful and dangerous.

Once such a large amount of energy gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable, several mages are trying their best to guide the Illidan while looking anxiously at Illidan, and Illidan also does not dare to delay, and concentrates on urging the laws he has mastered, under the increase of the Eye of Sargeras and this terrifying Arcane Energy, Illidan's power has been strengthened unprecedentedly, and his eyes seem to have passed through countless spaces, and he saw a skeleton on the glacier of the frozen continent.

"Nao Zu, with so many living beings to bury you, you are not alone in your death."

Illidan thought with a slight sarcasm, of course he knew how many innocent people would die in the Northern Rift after the completion of this spell guidance, but Illidan had always been an unscrupulous elf to achieve his own ends, and this was the case in the past, and it will be the case in the future.

In the next moment, the entire frozen continent in his eyes began to tremble violently, the earth was wailing, the snow on countless snow-capped mountains collapsed, the ice cracked, and a huge tsunami hundreds of meters high began to rush to the land from all directions, facing this apocalyptic scene, all kinds of animals, walrus people, and viku people either ran desperately, or wailed in despair, or knelt on the ground to pray.

Illidan watched the mortals struggle coldly, unmoved in his heart, silently calculating the time when the Northern Rift was completely torn apart and sunk into the sea, and after a moment, he came up with the answer: "It will take two more days. ”

The demigods who were still in Azeroth almost all felt the abnormal mana fluctuation for the first time.

Deep underground, a shattered black dragon felt the great pain coming from the earth, his eyes became more and more crazy, and he roared wildly at the sky.

In a temple in the Northern Rift Realm, a blue dragon's eyes exuding terrifying coercion returned to normal from indifference and sorrow, glanced at the location of Dalaran in the Eastern Continent, sighed, and changed his eyes back to the kind of eyes that were like ashes.

And the Red Dragon Queen, who was in close contact with Crassus in the Crystal Red Sanctuary, suddenly stood up and strode out of the temple, looking at the trembling earth and the wider and wider rifts in front of the Dragon Sleeping Temple, her eyes were full of anger, and after a while, the Red Dragon Queen and Crassus fluttered their wings and flew towards the Eastern Continent.

In the Temple of Ulduar, Mimiron, Freya, Hodir, Lorcan, and other guardians sensed that something was wrong almost at the same time, but as a wave of darkness flashed underground, their eyes returned to feverishness, coldness, remorse, and other expressions, and they all went about their own business.

……

"Damn it, damn it, damn Illidan!"

As the target of this spell, the Lich King naturally sensed the problem at the first time and saw the scene of the Dalaran ruins, but when he found out that it was Illidan who was holding the Eye of Sargeras to cast a spell on it, he was even more desperate: how did Illidan get together with the Burning Legion.

The Lich King was released to the Glacier by the Burning Legion, who gave him the Law of Ice and two artifacts to facilitate his mission, but again, the Burning Legion never trusted the Lich King, so in order to control him, the Burning Legion sealed the Lich King's soul into a special ice block.

The Lich King's body is the immovable ice block at this time, once the ice block is damaged, his essence will be lost, and he will inevitably die, and it is precisely because the Lich King's weakness is so obvious that he had to be subject to those Dreadlord whose strength is far weaker than him.

"What to do, what to do?"

The Lich King was frantically thinking about countermeasures, but his right-hand men were all carrying out various plans far away from Dalaran, and for a while they could not reach Dalaran at all, and there were some low-level undead near Dalaran, but they could not pose a threat to Illidan's guards at all.

The Lich King had never felt that he was so close to death, and after a while, he couldn't find a way to save his life, and he began to feel fear from the depths of his soul, and made up his mind: "If I can get away with it this time, I must let Arthas come back as soon as possible for soul fusion, no matter how much territory the Eastern Continent occupies, how can my life matter!" ”
