Chapter 5: The Rise of the Mantis Demon
The next afternoon.
"At this broken level, are you embarrassed to call yourself a god?"
Claudia kicked the haka corpse at her feet with disdain.
The assault on Zurghrab was much easier than she had expected.
The 3,000-strong army of the Gullabash Trolls was almost wiped out during their assault on the Stormwind Kingdom last year, and Claudia breached the ancient troll city with little resistance to the attacks of Zuhorak, Onexia, and Zuhorak's Void Air Regiment.
The sacrifices were killed one after another, and even Haka didn't cause any trouble to Claudia, it was on the same level as Zuhorak, and even the poisonous blood plan prepared in advance was useless, and Haka died under the siege of Zuhorak, Onexia, and Claudia.
At this moment, the battle was over, most of Zurgrab was already in flames, the corpses of the trolls were eaten by the shadow monsters, and the huge body of Haka was thrown by Claudia to Oni and Zuhorak to eat, and Haka's soul was grabbed by Claudia, torn and chewed in small bites.
Don't look at Haka's strength, but his soul is quite strong and pure, which makes Claudia enjoy eating very much.
"Anyway, where is there such a fool, a weak soul and a strong and delicious one."
‘…… There are quite a few in Mount Hyjal and Zandalara, but we don't recommend provoking them for the time being, as it could easily cause the unanimous hostility of the druids and the Troll Priests, and with the help of other Loa and Wilderness Demigods, it may even develop into a world-wide hunt, and your priority now is to digest this soul and advance to the growth stage before you can proceed to the next stage of your plans......
"It's a pity, what should I do next after I get promoted to the growth stage?"
‘…… Our darling, didn't you arrange it a long time ago? ……’
"That's right, I'm going to destroy the Origin Forge first, which is a huge threat to our plans for the future, and then I'm going to eat the Heart of Ashath." Claudia said with a look of course.
The whispers of the Void were silent for a moment, and they could tell from Claudia's chosen seclusion that Claudia was going to eat the Heart of Ashers first, but they didn't expect Claudia to attack the Forge of Origin first.
But soon, the will of the void became ecstatic, this sword of Damocles was originally the final means of disinfection to prevent the planet from being corrupted, Claudia was able to do this, obviously she had completely betrayed, and she was thinking about the corrupted star soul wholeheartedly.
‘…… I have to admit that we like this idea very much, can you tell us about your plan and let us help you make up for the shortcomings in your plan and make sure that the action is foolproof......
"Of course no problem, my plan is like this......
Claudia told the Void Will about her plans, and yes, what Claudia wanted was to destroy the Forge of Origins, a step that was a must for her.
Recently, Claudia has been convincing in front of the Void Will, and she believes that "even if the planet is corrupted, it is better than destruction" and "corruption is the only way to save the world", so she needs to take the initiative and show that she is thinking about the corrupted star soul, and what could be more appropriate than the Origin Crucible as a vote?
Only in this way did Claudia dare to devour the Heart of Asha, Cthun, Yogsaron and Enzos, otherwise Claudia doubted that the Void Will would help her when she devoured these Old Gods, and whether it was possible that she would become the nourishment of the Old Gods in turn.
And after all, Claudia has always been very uneasy about the time bomb of the Origin Furnace, and in some of the futures she sees, even the Origin Forge will be controlled and detonated by Deathwing, destroying all life in the world, in this case, it is better to take the initiative to destroy it herself.
Soon after, Claudia drew up a set of plans with the Void Will, but after all, a plan is just a plan, and if there is a plan, there will inevitably be accidents, and before Claudia sets off to the Origin Furnace, or even before Claudia digests Haka's soul, the accident happened.
Pandaria, the sacred tree of Kepa.
This fortress is a sacred place for the mantis demon clan, and the Grand Empress Shakohir lives here.
Just like the Zerg, the Mantis Demon is also a servant of the Elder God, but the difference is that the Zerg serve Cthun, while the Mantis Demon has always served the Elder God Ashaji.
At this moment, the Great Empress Shacohir was making a speech to all her subjects:
"I have received an oracle that our god is under threat, we must awaken all the heroes, mature all the larvae in the hive, gather all the soldiers, break through the wall, and rescue our god!"
"God's will is our life!" All the mantis demons roared feverishly.
There's no reason why they shouldn't be fanatical, just like the Empress, and not so long ago, they had received a foreshadowing from Ashaji, and for the first time ever, the Mantis Demon understood why the Splendid Valley had been attracting them for tens of thousands of years.
In the golden palace under the Splendid Valley, the heart of the god is being imprisoned, and at this moment, the god has already felt the mortal threat, so he will send this oracle through the prison at any cost.
Rescue our god, remove his threat, and satisfy his hunger and thirst with the flesh and soul of all living beings on this continent!
This is the thought that fills the hearts of all the mantis demons, and at this moment, the mantis demons, whether they are the Empress Sect or the Elder Karaksi Sect, who have always been unruly, have put aside all their differences with each other, united together, and plunged into the battle that is about to break out next.
This time, it will be different from the previous reincarnation to weed out the weak.
This time, it will be a deathmatch for the mission.
All the mantis demons understood this, after all, the idea of serving the Ashar had long been engraved in every corner of their bloodline and flesh, and even if it withered away, they would have no regrets.
The first to notice the mantis demon's movement was the Shadow Trace Faction, as the highest military body of the Panda People, the Shadow Trace Sect has protected the inhabitants of the Dragon's Back for generations, defending them from the threat of the Mantis Demon.
At this moment, after Tao Ya, the chief scout of the Shadow Trace Sect, reported her discovery to the head of the sect, Zhu Talan, Zhu Talan frowned and said:
"There are still five years before the next invasion of the Mantis Demon, why would the Mantis Demon break the iron law since ancient times and attack in advance?"
"Judging from the information asked by the captives, it should be related to their gods, and I don't know the specifics," Tao Ya hesitated, "but what is certain is that the mantis demons are awakening all the heroes and gathering an unprecedentedly powerful legion, and we must gather all our forces to have any hope of repelling the attack of the mantis demon this time." ”
Zhu Talan nodded, "Your news is very important, Tao Ya, we must act as soon as possible to contact the knights of the Cloud Soaring Dragon Order, the protectors of the Golden Lotus Sect, and the sacrifices of the Supreme Heavenly Gods, especially the Heavenly Gods, we need their wisdom to show us the way ......." ”
Under Zhu Talan's order, the Panlong's spine ignited a beacon fire that continued day and night, and messengers rushed out from the Shadow Sect one by one, rushing to the Golden Lotus Sect, the Cloud Xianglong Knights, the Supreme Heavenly God and other organizations for help.
The Great War is about to break out, and the peaceful life of the Panda people is also shattered.
