Chapter 25 May the glory of the Creator endure forever
What is the specific connection between Claudia and Friggia?
Alonnaya didn't dwell on this issue for long.
After all, now that Zonoz has broken through to Odaman, Claudia's position is undoubtedly on the side of the Titan Guardians, and the priority is to repel or kill Zonoz, rather than track down Claudia's relationship with Friggia.
"Hmm...... Frigga, let's call you by that name for now, and in ten minutes, we'll be talking about how to deal with Zonoz at the Kazgros seat below, so remember to come along. ”
"I will." Claudia nodded.
Ten minutes later, the seat of Kazgros.
In the vast seat of Kazgros, in addition to Alonnaya and Azadas, there are many earth spirits and rock giants, these earth spirits are a small number of earth spirits who are immune to the curse of flesh, so they still stick to their mission, seeing Claudia come in, the earth spirits and rock giants have bowed to Claudia, the rules of the Titan creation are absolute order, and Claudia's current authority can undoubtedly command these earth spirits and rock giants--- provided that the order does not contradict the order of Azadas.
Azadas gave Claudia a cold look, and with a wave of his hand, a picture was displayed in which Zonoz had rushed into the Hall of the Guardians, wantonly destroying the Titan's facilities and slaughtering the Stone-Palated Monsters.
"Look what you've done, Friggia." There was a deep disgust in Azadas's voice, "I have learned the cause and effect from the Guardians, Zonoz was only the target from the beginning, and you introduced it to Uldaman, which not only endangered the safety of the Noganon Disk, but also the death of so many creatures because of you, what you did was a shame on Tyr and defiled your Order Sigil. ”
In the face of the well-founded accusation, Claudia lowered her head in shame and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Azadas and Aronnaya, I'm sorry for this, my companion is dying...... To save her...... I had no choice. ”
Alonnaya was silent.
Azadas let out a cold snort of disdain: "Hmph! Don't make excuses, even if you get the Order Talisman, you are a mortal who is greedy for life and afraid of death in your bones, without the sacrifice and dedication that a guardian should have, nothing more. ”
Claudia suddenly looked up at Azadas, her face was full of anger, and the atmosphere was tense for a while, while Elonnaya sighed and stood between Azadas and Claudia, and said:
"Azadas, what you just said is a bit excessive, we should trust the Silver Hand's selection and judgment of the successor of Tyr, and the priority now is to repel Zonoz and protect the safety of the Noganon Round, not to blame Friga."
Alonnaya's words obviously did not have the desired effect, Azadas's face did not ease in the slightest, and Claudia also walked out from behind Alonnaya, looked at Azadas again, and said without flinching:
"You're right, Zonoz's goal has been me from the beginning, I shouldn't have brought Zonoz to Uldaman, but I have never been greedy for life or afraid of death, please take care of my companions, I'll fight Zonoz now to make up for my sins!"
After finishing speaking, Claudia turned her head angrily and strode out of the door, but after a few steps, Alonnaya had already stopped beside her: "Friggia, this is not the time for vindictiveness, you are not Zonoz's opponent, we must find a way to repel Zonoz together." ”
Azadas's voice also came from behind Claudia, and his attitude was no longer as tough as before: "Friggia, there will be a chance to prove your courage to you, now come back, we need to choose a suitable battlefield and combat configuration." ”
Under the persuasion of the two guardians, Claudia stopped, suppressed her anger and returned to the center, she did not have the capital to be willful now, and Azadas did not continue to irritate Claudia, he continued to observe the behavior of Zonoz on the screen for a while and then got down to business:
"I have adjusted the order of the labyrinth you set up by Elonnaya, under the misguided delay of the earth spirits and the rock giants, it is estimated that Zonoz will be able to reach the artisan hall in a maximum of 12 hours, but we can't fight it in the artisan hall, the most suitable place is the temple hall, where there is a huge megalith guard who can assist us in the battle, so the battle will break out in 7-9 hours."
Claudia and Elonnaya nodded, Uldaman was forged by Azadas with the spirit of the territory, and he would definitely not go wrong in his choice of battlefield.
Azadas continued: "Then the next thing is the selection of personnel, Elonnaya, you are responsible for staying at the seat of Kazgros, and Frigga and I are responsible for fighting Zonoz in the temple hall, if it goes well, everything is easy to say, if it doesn't go well......"
Azadas groaned, and Claudia said, "If it doesn't go well, I'll be responsible for breaking the gap for the two of you, just as Tyre did back then, and you can continue south with the Noganon Disk, and the south is my Stormwind Kingdom, a nation of Veku descendants, and I will give you tokens for my people to accept and obey some of your orders." ”
The disgust in Azadas's eyes when he looked at Claudia had dissipated for the most part, he nodded, and said coldly: "Then, it's decided, Friggia, you go to rest first, I will send the earth spirit to inform you before the battle breaks out, and in addition, give me your sword, and let me use the materials in the treasure house to help you improve as much as possible before the battle." ”
"Thank you." Claudia thanked Stomka and handed it over, then hesitated to say something, but in the end she didn't say much, she had no doubt about Azadas's strength in forging, but she wasn't so sure how much Azadas would be useful against Zonoz.
Guardians also have a division of labor, if Tyr and Odin are positioned as warriors, and Lorcan is positioned as mages and wise men, then the positioning of Mimiron and Azadas is undoubtedly logistics and support.
Azadas's auxiliary abilities are very powerful, he inherited the power of the Titan Kazgros to master the earth and forge the power, all the existing Titan palaces in Azeroth, including Ulduar, were built by Azadas, and he created countless artifacts, such as the Silver Hand and the artifact shield Guardian of Truth that Tyr once held, were forged by Azadas.
However, Azadas's combat power ranks first from the bottom among the Guardians, and he is a veritable battle scumbag.
From ancient times to the present, the only battle that Azadas has fought is against the earth elemental lord Thrathane, and he didn't do it himself in that battle, the ones who did it were his earth spirit servants and Freya, as for the later fight against the ancient gods, Azadas also hid in the rear during the battle and was responsible for shouting 666, and after the battle, he was responsible for building a dungeon to imprison those ancient gods, so that when he was chased by the two-headed Kseraki, Azadas didn't even have the qualifications to help Tyr make soy sauce on the side, Only Tyr can only face the Kseraki monster alone.
Claudia is the same today, she is very suspicious that Azadas will play a role in the battle, and even Claudia has an urge to prevent Azadas from participating in the war, so that at least she can't fight and run away and can be less burdensome, as for the decision to escape, Claudia has no psychological burden, it's a big deal to pay a little price to gather Kael'thas, Fa'o, Merry and many other top powerhouses to kill this Kseraki, she doesn't believe that one Ktheraki can fight against so many strong people.
Worried Claudia returned to Gianna's side, Gianna was still very weak, Claudia picked up the communication ring, and a message inside caught Claudia's attention, Stormwind had sent reinforcements to the Badlands with griffins, and had officially asked Kenrito for help, Kenrito promised to send a top archmage to the vicinity of Uldaman to help Claudia soon, this good news made Claudia feel a lot more relieved.
Claudia took off her armor, scrubbed the stains on her body and armor with water, and then picked up the marching rations and started eating, and while Claudia was eating, Gianna's weak voice sounded: "Water ......"
Claudia hurriedly took some water and fed Gianna to drink, Gianna immediately fell into a semi-comatose state, Claudia carefully checked Gianna's state, and found that although she was still weak, she had passed the dangerous period, so Claudia's heart was suddenly relieved, and she planned to feed her something to speed up her recovery.
But soon Claudia was in trouble, Gianna hurt her stomach, which meant that there were not many types of food she could eat, and it was definitely not okay to eat jerky like Claudia, but there was no other food to choose from in the dungeon, and finally Claudia finally found something suitable for Gianna to eat after hesitating for a long time.
Claudia emptied the kettle with water, blushed and put a lot of liquid food in the kettle, fed Gianna to drink, and planned to keep the day's events in her heart forever and not mention it to anyone.
Time flew by in taking care of Gianna, missing Varian, confessing her sins, and resting, and six hours later, an earth spirit named Blanc came to ask Claudia to come over, she looked at Gianna, who was much better again, covered her with magic cloth to keep her warm, changed into armor and turned away.
At the seat of Kazgros, Claudia met Azadas, who was obviously a little tired, and handed Sdomka to Claudia, at this time Stomka had changed dramatically in just a few hours, it became more slender and lighter, harder and sharper, and the increase in strength was also greater, at this time Stamma had been significantly promoted to a level, and had become a third-level artifact.
"Azadas, how did you manage to upgrade the artifact to one level in such a short period of time?" Claudia was amazed and admired.
Faced with Claudia's astonishment and admiration, Azadas asked disapprehantly, "The material used to forge this weapon must be the fragments of the weapons of the Iron Viku leaders who followed Tyr, Aronnaya, and me south, right?" ”
"Yes." Claudia nodded.
"The weapons of those Veku leaders are also forged by me, so I know the materials and runes of this weapon very well, and it is naturally easy for me to modify this weapon, I replaced some of the low-level materials in it with higher-grade metal, and adjusted the overall streamline, adding a large number of Titan runes, making it stronger and more suitable for your use."
Claudia took the newborn Sdomka, felt the great power within the sword, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Azadas. ”
Azadas nodded indifferently: "This is what I should do, after all, we will have to fight Zonoz in a while, and I need to increase your strength as much as possible to ensure victory." ”
"Actually...... I'll take the rock giant into battle myself," Claudia said with some trepidation, "I have no intention of offending, but as far as I know, neither you nor Alonnaya are good at fighting. ”
"It's true that I'm not good at hand-to-hand combat, that's a fact," Azadas wasn't angry, he affirmed Claudia's statement, "but I won't trouble you either, I'll use the power of the earth to give you all-round blessings and long-range assistance depending on the situation." ”
Claudia nodded, and made an ancient ritual to Azadas: "Then, may the glory of the Creator endure." ”
Azadas's originally indifferent face also rippled, his eyes had a little more warmth, his face replied with a pious salute, and his voice rumbled: "May the glory of the Creator endure, and order will surely triumph." ”
