From the next day, Claudia dismissed plans to organize a team to investigate the ruins of Angela, because there was no need for it, and bad news had reached her.

The bad news was delivered by Harrison Jones of the Explorers Society.

Half a month ago, the expedition team led by the president of the Explorers Association Brian encountered many strange bugs during the archaeology of Silisus, and the explorers once defeated a huge centipede-like digging worm, and after the death of the digging worm, the explorers explored along the tunnel dug by the digging worm.

After several days of arduous exploration and fighting, they discovered that this passage led to an ancient city south of Silisus that was sealed by giant walls and magic, and a group of sneaky cultists were casting spells near the giant wall, weakening the seal, and the seal had become a loophole, allowing many bugs to break out of the holes in the giant wall.

At the same time that the explorers discovered the cultists, the cultists also discovered the explorers, and without any negotiations, the battle broke out.

Explorers are by no means weak, in fact, if you want to dig some ruins in this fantasy world, you may encounter all kinds of terrifying monsters at any time, if you don't have the ability, you don't know how many times you have died, but these cultists not only know all kinds of weird magic, they also have countless zergs as helpers.

After a fierce battle, Brian's expedition was nearly wiped out, and the surviving Brian fled to the nearest Deerhelm outpost to Camp Copperbeard, where he was aided by the Night Elf Druids, Sentinels, and Priestesses, a high-ranking priestess who informed Brian of the evil and horrors that lurked behind the Great Wall.

Brian quickly sent the message back to the Explorers Guild through the Explorers' Guild's contact channels, and the Explorers Guild immediately passed the message to Claudia, who had the closest connection to the Titan Guardians.

After receiving the message from Harrison, Claudia moved quickly, and after arranging the work of the kingdom, she planned to teleport to Silisus with Gianna and Azadas, and check on Angela's situation in person.

Silisus, near the deer helmet outpost.

The teleportation spell fluctuated, and Gianna, Claudia, and Azadas appeared in the land.

Gianna looked around, surrounded by endless desert, the sun in the sky making the sand beneath her feet, and waves of heat blowing in the wind.

"It's a terrible environment, much hotter than the Badlands," Gianna commented, and then she remembered something and turned to Claudia, "Are you hot or not, let me coat your armor with frost armor?" ”

"No, this armor is quite special, and you can't feel the changes in the environment at all, which is worthy of Azadas's craftsmanship." Claudia praised.

Claudia has discovered this since she got this legendary armor named "Tyr's Legacy", the armor protects her very well, completely isolating her body under the armor from the outside environment, but it does not bring discomfort such as stuffiness to her skin, perhaps because the material used to forge this armor comes from Tyr's body, this armor is like a part of her body, and it is very tight, very comfortable, and very flexible.

"It's just that the materials are good, and now I can't make a second set." In the face of Claudia's praise, Azadas on the side did not have much complacency, and the imaginary enemy he forged this armor was originally Lorcan, who was good at magic, and fighting against this natural temperature was just a side effect.

During the chat, Claudia and her party came to the deerhelm sentry, she found that the deerhelm sentry was very sparse, even Brian was nowhere to be seen, Claudia learned the reason from the sentry who stayed behind, most of the sentry and Brian and others had gone to the beetle wall to attack the cultists under the leadership of the high-ranking priestess Shiloma.

"In that case, let's go to the south too." Azadas made a decision.

Claudia and Gianna had no objections, and as they traveled south, they encountered all sorts of strange bugs described in the report--- ranging from ordinary fast-moving insects that attack with their sharp front claws, to flying insects that move like bees with their wings, and unusually large digging insects......

Naturally, these bugs can't do anything to Claudia and his party, most of the bugs died under the sword of Domka, in the case of Claudia not activating Sdomka's special ability, these bugs will be able to leave corpses, Claudia and his party have studied the corpses of bugs, both Claudia and Gianna have discovered the darkness in the bugs' bodies, and Azadas, who has participated in the battle of the ancients, can sense more.

"These bugs all have the characteristic stench of Cthun, your message is correct, Friggya, there is indeed something wrong with Cthun's prison." Azadas said grimly.

"I remember that it was the Great Guardian Rai who was in charge of guarding the Southern Titan facilities such as Cthun and the Origin Forge Furnace, could he have ...... already in place?"

"I can't tell," Azadas' look hesitated, "Actually, Tyr and I tried to find Rai, but he had been missing for a long time, and we didn't find his whereabouts in either the Origin Forge or his communication sanctuary beneath the Northern Rift Snowfield, but with his strength, he couldn't have died so quietly." ”

Claudia nodded, she reviewed the geography and history she had learned, and there was indeed no record of a region similar to Tiris's in the Eastern and Western Continents.

Azadas continued: "As for why Anubisas and Tovir, who stayed in Angela, came to Cthun, I have to see for myself to find out. ”

"Let's continue to look south, and maybe we'll find Torville or Anubisas." Claudia said.

After several waves of fighting, Claudia and his party approached the Wall of Beetles, and instead of seeing Torville or Anubisas, they found the Sentinels led by Brian and Shilomar and learned more about it.

The Night Army didn't encounter much trouble all the way south, and the Zerg that appeared in Silishus now were not strong, and they were not so numerous that the Night Army could not resist them.

But the Night Army didn't achieve much, they only cleared some bugs from the ground, they couldn't attack the intricate underground tunnels under Silisus, and the cultists who had clashed with Brian and his party were not in the Wall of Beetles--- they didn't know where to flee.

In addition, Shiloma recounts Claudia and her people in detail about the Battle of the Quicksand a millennium ago: Angela's Night Elves awakened the Chira Zermen, the outbreak of war and the death of Valastan, the dragon's participation and sacrifice, and finally the dragons and druids summoning the Wall of Beetles in the final battle to seal the Chira Zermen.

"Because of the attack of dark magic, this seal is no longer complete, and I can feel that this seal is getting weaker and weaker over time, irreversible," Gianna inferred after carefully examining the seal, "Now only the weaker bugs can break out of the weak part of the seal, at most half a year, there will be a hero-level bug that can pass through the seal, and after a year, the entire seal will completely cease to exist." ”

The high-ranking druids on the side came to the same conclusion as Gianna after examining the seal.

The faces of many of the Night Elves who had participated in the Battle of Quicksand suddenly became extremely ugly, and the high-ranking priest Hiloma gasped.

"We must not wait for the swarm to come out, we must reorganize the quicksand scepter as quickly as possible, gather all the forces on the continent, and take the initiative to attack Angela and the Zerg for a decisive battle." Shiloma Road.

"Why can't you wait for the swarm to come out?" Brian asked aloud, "Wouldn't it be better to have more time to prepare?" ”

"You don't understand the difficulty of the Zerg of Qila," Shiloma explained, "their numbers are almost endless, even the dragons can't do anything about them, even if we kill more Zerg in half a year, it will be useless, the longer the time drags on, the weaker our strength will become in the attrition of each battle, but the survivors of the Zerg battle can get stronger and stronger." ”

"During the Battle of Quicksand, at first we were able to fight back and forth with the Zerg with only our Sentinel Troops, but in the back, we were powerless to resist, and even after the dragon attacked, we lost several dragons before we could barely press the Zerg back to Angela."

Brian frowned after hearing this, and Shiloma turned to look at Claudia and said, "Your Majesty, this war is a matter of the safety of the mainland, and I hope the alliance can send troops to support us." ”

"I understand what's going on here," Claudia nodded, "The Stormwind Kingdom will send troops, but it's best if the High Priest and the Grand Druid have made a unanimous decision to send a formal request for help to the Alliance nations so that I can convince the Council and the rest of the Alliance." ”

"We've just reported the grave state of affairs here to the Cenarion Council and Darnassus." Another high-ranking druid said, "In addition, the Cenarion Council has also absorbed a lot of minotaur druids in recent years, and I believe that they will persuade the tribe to participate in this war." ”

"The tribe isn't that easy to convince, is it?" Claudia was a little unsure, she had to go to war because of Cthun, and the other countries of the alliance had to send troops to fulfill their covenant with the Night Elves, but the relationship between the tribe and the Night Elves was not very good, would she be persuaded by a few druids with possible future threats?

Gianna was also obviously a little unsure, and she said, "Otherwise, I'm going to help persuade Xia Sal?" ”

"They will," Shiloma smiled bitterly, "because of the digging worms, the Qila Zerg are very good at making holes, they can attack from any place at any time, this war will not be divided between the front line and the rear, every village in the rear can become a battlefield at any time, the tribe will soon understand this, they are much closer to the swarm than us as a whole." ”
