Later that day, Gianna, knowing that a new battle of quicksands was about to break out, teleported back to Theramore, while Claudia and Azadas returned to Stormwind.

In addition to leaving a number of elite sentries near the Beetle Gate to prevent the Cultists from returning, the Night Elves also plan to establish a new forward camp in the middle of Silishus to facilitate the aid of the Beetle Gate and prepare for the battle in half a year.

Shilomar and Brian plan to reforge the Scepter of Quicksand, and when the time is right, they will use the Scepter to break the blockade of the Beetlegate, storm the fortress of Angela, and end the threat of the Zerg with a decisive battle.

Stormwind, Forge Hall.

With the priority help of the gnomes, the Forge Hall has initially taken on some of the functions of Uldaman, and the Titan Forge is the first Titan facility to be built at the request of Azadas.

The effect of the Titan Forge built is obvious.

At this moment, the Earth Spirits under Azadas' command are crafting various weapons and armor around the Titan Forge and inscribed Titan runes, these Earth Spirits are the best blacksmiths, and the excellent enchanted armor they have created has not only redressed all the Royal Knights of Stormwind City, but also has a lot of surplus high-quality armor, allowing Claudia to sell to the Night Elves and other countries of the Alliance, earning a lot of gold.

While the Earth Spirits were busy, Claudia and Azadas, who had just returned from Angela, entered a room in the Hall of Order.

"Ever since you were in the Wall of Beetles, you seem to be a little ...... Well, worried, are you optimistic about our future decisive battle with the Zerg? Claudia asked.

"That's right," Azadas bowed slightly.

Claudia comforted: "Just rest assured, although mortal soldiers are fragile flesh and blood, under the compensation of armor, mortal professionals are not much weaker than Veku soldiers, and the number of mortal professionals is extremely large, and there are many top mortal powerhouses." ”

"I know all of this," Azadas muttered, "in fact, the number of mortals is more than enough to make up for the disadvantage in quality, and even your royal knights may not be much weaker against the average Iron Viku army, but do you know why Yogsaron is unleashing the Flesh Curse?" ”

"Maybe it's because the Flesh Curse weakens us......" Claudia hesitated, her voice getting lower and lower, not believing her own reasons.

Although mortal individuals have obviously weakened, and they do not have eternal life like when they were once steel, but thanks to the blessing of flesh and blood, the reproduction ability of mortals has been greatly enhanced, 100,000 years ago, the total number of Titans was only 200,000, and now there are 2 million human beings alone, and Claudia is more confident that within a few generations after the level of science and technology improves, the number of human beings will multiply to tens of millions.

The huge number represents the number of strong people, take human beings as an example, the quality of human beings is not as good as that of elves, dwarves, and night elves, but the strong people of human beings are undoubtedly the most, for example, in terms of the mages that elves are proud of, the number of top mages of human beings has achieved an overwhelming advantage, the Council of Six, Khadgar, Egwen, Medivan...... It is precisely because of the large number of human beings that so many powerful mages can be born.

And in addition to the numerical superiority, the Flesh Curse also brings free will, which is a bad thing on the surface, but it is precisely because of the existence of free will that mortals can create their own legends and become stronger in the struggle, and at critical moments, mortals are more heroic, stronger, and more fearless than the Titan creation, because the love and hate of mortal hearts is far more blazing than that of ordinary Titan creations.

Therefore, on the surface, the Flesh Curse has enhanced the overall strength of the mortal race, but the question is, how could the Elder God be so "kind"?

"You've faced Zakaz or Zonoz, do you think your royal knights will be able to help you against these two Kserakhi?" Azadas asked.

"I can't." Claudia replied without hesitation, she already understood what Azadas meant.

The average royal knight is equivalent to a canned nourishment and a blood bottle in front of Zakaz, and it will be helpful to go up, and the performance of the royal knight in the face of Zonoz is estimated to be similar, and it is not much more troublesome for Zonoz to kill so many cavemen and black iron dwarves than to shoot a few mosquitoes to death.

"But the Titans such as Steel Veku and Torville can still help when facing Xseraki, and it has nothing to do with power, just because we were forged for it. ”

"We have very few negative emotions, we are easily not afraid, we are not deluded, we are not confused, we are not immune to the psychic magic that the Faceless One is best at, and it is because of this that we can win the battle of the Ancients, even against Yogsaron, our ordinary soldiers are fine against Yogsaron for an hour or two, and your royal knight ---"

Azadaston paused, "It is estimated that they will be brainwashed by Yugsaron within a minute." ”

"So, you're worried about Cthun?" Claudia asked.

"Yes," Azadas sighed, "Ordinary Zerg are okay, but when Cthun makes a move, it's different, except that you who have the Holy Seal of Order will not be affected by negative emotions, I don't know who else can participate in that battle, and I've seen Cthun's combat power, you alone are not Cthun's opponent." ”

"It would be nice if I had more silver fires." Claudia said helplessly.

The Guardian of Order's blessing comes with immunity to magical effects such as nightmares, fear, and hypnosis, but Claudia is still a half-finished product after all, she has not experienced the step of the Throne of Order, and the speed at which the Holy Seal of Order transforms into silver fire is too slow, and her number of silver fires is seriously insufficient.

Azadas knew about Claudia's situation, and he said, "The Temple of Order in the Stormy Mountains has a huge amount of silver fire accumulated over 100,000 years, but unless we have already decided to raid Ulduar, we can't go to the Temple of Order in advance to startle the snake, let me think of another way." ”

"Hmm." Claudia nodded.

Time passes day by day, and the wheel of history is slowly advancing.

On the third day, the Night Elves officially sent a letter of request for help to the alliance countries, and Claudia invoked the "Common Defense Regulations" signed by Varian, and easily passed the decision to send troops in the Imperial Council and the Parliament, and the Stormwind Kingdom was the first to enter a state of combat readiness.

The reaction of the other alliance countries was much more cautious, including His Majesty Dalin, the attitude of the leaders of the alliance countries was: the alliance is sacred, and they will definitely send troops, but they need to understand who the enemy is and how big the threat is, after all, most alliance leaders don't know what Qila Zerg and Cthun are.

In order to solve the doubts of the other leaders, Claudia specially invited representatives of the alliance countries to Stormwind City to hold an alliance summit to demonstrate the great threat of the Zerg and the necessity of this war.

Just three days before the Alliance Summit, Azadas sent the Tulling to call Claudia to meet him.

As soon as they met, Azadas asked, "Friga, you should know how to use a spear, right?" ”

"Well, I'm pretty good at it." Claudia replied that spears and swords were among the two standard weapons that paladins had to be proficient in their training, and that she would naturally use them.

"That's good, I have thought of a way to maybe make up for your mortal shortcomings."

"How?" Claudia hurriedly asked.

Azadas pulled out the Usalus that Claudia had given him and said, "I can use the Titan Forge, melt this artifact, drive out unnecessary parts, and add some materials from my treasury to reforge an artifact for you, a spear that can protect your teammates." ”

"Guarding with a spear?"

"Yes, to be precise, a flag gun, I will engrave enough Titan circles for you on the body of the gun and the flag, respectively, to increase your holy light and the power of order, usually your battle flag will automatically inspire the soldiers and teammates around you with holy light, their physical strength will be restored, injuries will be slowly relieved, when you inject silver fire and wave the flag, your teammates will wake up from negative emotions such as pain, fear, and nightmares, which can effectively restrain the power of Cthun."

"Thank you, Azadas." Claudia sincerely thanks.

"You're welcome, Friggia, this spear can only alleviate your unfavorable situation, after all, I haven't tested how resistant your flesh and blood are to Cthun, so I still recommend that you only bring the real strong to face Cthun, and you have to come a few times in the past few days, and some of the materials after Ursales melts still need your silver fire to purify."

"I remember, I'll be coming over every day." Claudia agreed.

For the next two days, Claudia went to the forge hall every day to assist Azadas in purifying the materials extracted by Usales, and in addition, Claudia also went to the Bay of Raging Tides to meet with Thrall, who had already decided to send troops to attack Angela.

These days, the development of events is very consistent with Shiloma's estimate, with the help of a large number of tunnels dug by the diggers under Camlido, the Qila Zerg have attacked everywhere, the southern part of the Camlido continent has been full of wolf smoke, the goblins in Tanaris and the Thousand Needles Stone Forest have been the first to pour blood mold, and the Minotaur villages in the south of Firas have also been washed in blood, confirming the warnings of the Night Elves and Gianna.

Thrall quickly reacted, the tribe had already mobilized on the front line at this time, more and more soldiers went to the southern front to defend, and the southern border had been settled a lot, but although the swarm was not very effective, it was infested everywhere with underground tunnels, which made the tribal soldiers anxious and exhausted.

In this case, Thrall showed great sincerity in his meeting with Claudia, promising to send 10,000 tribal soldiers, including the most powerful Kukaron Guard, the totem warriors of the Minotaurs, and the Troll Stalker troops, to enter the battle under the leadership of Varok Sarufar.

In the face of Thrall's sincerity, Claudia may not convince the Alliance to send no less than this number of soldiers, and send the Alliance's most powerful samurai to participate in this attack on Angela.

Faced with the threat of the swarm, the Alliance and the Horde once again briefly stood together, and the Camlido Coalition was about to be formed.
