War of the Ancients 17
Our side.
When we returned to the vicinity of Azhara, we suddenly saw a dragon galloping over our heads, and instinctively we chose to hide, but when he moved away, we realized that his real body was so familiar, and if it weren't for the more familiar human on his back, Crassus.
Yes, if he hadn't been with this dragon, maybe we would have thought that this dragon was him, after all, it was exactly the same as his dragon form, of course, it was exactly the same as why, and we could easily think of the reason, that is, the dragon was himself in this era, he must have persuaded this past him to help herself, and judging by the turmoil that happened on Azhara's side, they must have destroyed it as much as we did, and the scale was not small.
Looking at Azhara, the gates had been breached, and the Night Elf refugees were pouring out, their frightened faces clearly indicating that they had had had some bad experiences, but fortunately they were all full of hope, and that hope was in their destination. If anyone can help them with this, it will indeed be there, the Lord of Raven Castle and the Temple of the Moon Helderney.
I looked at it and thought so, but I was more concerned about the question now, and it was not whether there were pursuers, but whether Crassus had achieved his goal, and Gianna already had an answer to this question.
"Crassus, they didn't destroy the portal, I could feel that it was still there, and the power of the Well of Eternity had become even more depraved. β
"With that said, Crassus recognized the source of the threat, and he would have told his empress about the situation here, and the dragon would encircle it. β
Gianna is very conservative about my optimistic view
"Crassus must have remembered 10,000 years ago, and he knew that the portal was here. But the question is why is he the only dragon here, not his race, he should know that it is impossible to deal with him alone, and even if he is on the ground to reconnoiter the situation, he is going in the opposite direction, his dragon's nest is not in the west. β
"Are you sure where his lair is?"
I agree with Gianna's statement, but I'm confused about the last opinion, to which Gianna replied very simply.
"Because this direction is the way to the Temple of the Moon, and the refugees are in the same direction. β
"Okay. "I'm a little helpless, yes, I always thought Gianna was observing with magic, maybe I ignored some common sense issues, like direction. But then again, "In that case, what does that direction represent, could it be that Crassus also sneaked out and persuaded his past self to escape from the empress's clutches? β
"Alexstasa wants to take Crassus's life, and Crassus won't run away. But Crassus will let the past self understand the seriousness of the matter, and then let the past self decide what to do. β
"Really?"
I said this, but Gianna replied very seriously, as if to confess something else to me.
"It's like before us, if I killed you, you wouldn't run away, right, but if I became bad, you would know how to obey the real me, just like me. β
"That's right, that's right, but if Mavi kills me this time, I'm..." I sighed with some regret, indeed I could feel Mavi's intention, yes, I used to feel Mavi's aura often, but the target of this aura was only for me this time. But Gianna didn't feel like me about this, she looked very proud.
"That's the difference between me and Mavi, Arthas. β
"That's right, maybe that's what you've always been unique to me. I affirmed, "It's just she..."
I was a little bit tempted, but Gianna didn't need me to explain too much.
"Nothing is decided, we still have time, now let's deal with the Burning Legion first, as for Mavi, I think you should recover to the human body first. β
"Do you have a way to restore the human body?"
"Of course, it's the Red Dragon Queen, and if it doesn't work then, we can still use extreme measures. Gianna raised her fist and said, as if she had a great hatred for her, but now that I think about it, she killed me, and this alone would make Gianna angry, and although I have been resurrected, I am obviously very different from the living, and the corrupt body would be unbearable if it was placed on anyone's face.
We're not talking about anything else but getting back to business, we'd better tell Hyrdney about the situation here, but maybe Crassus and they'll do it for us, so we'd better do something else now that we're here. For example, I was going to carefully check the situation there and block the progress of the enemy's encirclement and suppression of refugees. Of course, the main thing is to gain more power, the power of the Well of Eternity. Moreover, Gianna found that the power of the Well of Eternity was becoming more and more degenerate, and those forces that had not been polluted were struggling, so it was better to take advantage of this time to collect those lost powers and use them for her own use.
Gianna and I hit it off, she scouted through her prosthetic eyes, and in addition to seeing the influx of refugees, Gianna noticed that there were no demons chasing them, but rather demons repairing the destroyed city, and despite all the reluctance on their faces, they were not lazy, and they could see that they had a surprising respect for the High Elves, although this respect was only in behavior.
Gianna told me this information, which made it even more certain that the invasion of the Burning Legion was premeditated, and that the High Elves were behind it, and that the High Elves were almost all accomplices. However, I am surprised that the High Elves will not see that these demons are just using them, and when the demons come, all living things will be destroyed. Or if they have some other plans for the High Elves, I can't think of it.
But that's not the point, so I didn't think much about it, but figured out how to achieve my plan, which is how to get more power. If the Well of Eternity is a sacred symbol, then the turbulent waters of the lake must have the will to fight against this power, so we think about how to get the power that emanates from it.
Gianna seems to have her own way, she got in touch with this eternal well in a very hidden way, I have heard some legends about magic having its own will, such as some high-level mages summoned magical creatures have a certain will, of course, there are also people who oppose it, and say that these wills come from the will of the elements or the will of the caster himself, such as the water element or something, but in the northern castle against the orcs, I seem to feel the independent will of Gianna when she was a clone, and after that clone was destroyed, my heartache as if I had lost myself. This led me to think that magic itself might have a will, just like elemental energy itself. Gianna seemed to be convinced of this, believing that magic itself has a will, and told me that he was trying to make a spiritual communication with that energy.
"I'm going to have a deep conversation with the Well of Eternity, maybe it's a trap, but I have to try. β
I wanted to deny Gianna for doing this, after all, the detachment of the soul is a very dangerous act, but when Gianna finished speaking, she didn't wait for me to deny it. It seems that she has already gone, and for her behavior, I can only guard her body from being disturbed by others.
Gianna's soul was stripped of her body, and it was at this time that my mind seemed to have lost something, and I only thought at this time that I had lost Gianna's control over me, and it was precisely because of this that my mind was a little empty and very uncomfortable, and this control was completely opposite to being controlled by Kael'thas, after all, she was Gianna. However, it also made me reflect on the question of whether I am willing to be controlled by the people I like. For example, Mavi, maybe she wants to be controlled by me in her heart, maybe she puts it, but our era is a little different from this era after all, maybe if I want to get her again, maybe I have to do it this way.
I thought so, but soon my sense of responsibility made me retract these unrealistic thoughts, after all, Gianna's safety was the most important thing, and although there were no people here, I still had to protect this place in a fighting state. After all, I know that if there is an accident, maybe Gianna's soul will not come back, and as far as I know, the best place for the soul to go out of the body is in a quiet, clean and tidy sacred place, such as the Temple of the Moon, but for Gianna, maybe I am the best place, so I naturally can't live up to her expectations.
After a long time, Gianna's will was restored, yes, I could feel her return, and with her return, I was once again controlled by her power, and indeed, without her power to support me, perhaps I would soon be left with a skeleton. That's why I do feel like she's stronger. Of course, this is a good thing, but I am worried about whether she will be infected in some way.
"Gianna, you're stronger, but I wonder if there are no surprises?"
"Of course, Alsace, I'm still me. "She still gave me a hug and asked me to feel her more intimately and feel her mood for me.
"Didn't that Aishara stop you?"
"Azhara thinks that she has sealed the power of the entire Well of Eternity, but now she can't fully command the Well of Eternity as she did before, and the unpolluted forces of the Well of Eternity still hope that someone can stop her, so those forces chose me. β
Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod my head, feeling glad, after all, Gianna's current strength has the strength to compete with that Esara, but thinking of that Esara, I still have some doubts in my heart, and Gianna knows a little bit about this question.
"She really wants the power of the Well of Eternity to be dedicated to the Burning Legion?"
"Perhaps, but I think she might have some other plans, a darker idea. β
"Like that Gul'dan trying to control the Burning Legion?"
I thought of a possibility, but Gianna shook her head.
"Perhaps, but she is more sane than we might think, she has a plan of her own, which the Well of Eternity wants to tell me, that Azhara may have been infected by a more evil force, which may be the so-called Elder God. Gianna wanted to explain, but at this moment, she seemed to feel something, very nervous, and prepared the portal. "Aishara has noticed us now and I think we'd better get out of here. I'm not necessarily an opponent of Aishara right now, and it's still her territory. β
"I understand, let's go back to the Temple of the Moon, maybe there we can wait for our old friend Crassus and the old him, and the purpose of his coming to the Temple of the Moon, not the reason for going to Ronin, he must have his plan and maybe the same as ours. β
"Well, we'll get there soonerβ" and we left the place to reach Helderney.
On the other hand, Ronin and Blox and Malfurion acted, and on the way, after Blox learned something about Fort Raven and Rafincres, the lord of Fort Raven, from Malfurion, he became more and more convinced that it was this man who captured him and put him in the cage on the first night of his visit.
For this matter, Ronin and Malfurion were a little hesitant whether to take this orc, after all, as a druid who transformed into a nightblade leopard, the weight of an orc is indeed much heavier than that of a human, but this is not the point, the point is that they have been traveling for a long time at the moment, and it is no longer realistic to go back, so they decided to change a way to deal with it, then when they are about to reach the destination, Brooks should not enter the city, but Ronin and Malfurion will explain this fact to him.
But as for the effect, Ronin has his own understanding, for example, in his understanding, many lords are conservatives who have no strength and insight, they will not listen to their explanations at all, and they captured Brooks in the first place, Ronin also expressed doubts about the reliability of this lord, because we were also besieged when we first arrived in this world, and according to his next inference, he thinks that this may be the conspiracy of the empress named Aishara, she must have noticed that we arrived in this world at the beginning, but Malfurion still trusts this lord, because his status in the Night Elves is a relatively noble existence. And most importantly, he holds the main force of the Night Elves, and if he wants to fight against possible threats, or preside over the overall situation, then the Lord of Raven Castle is also the only option.
"The only choice?!" Ronin was very skeptical about this realization, because he knew who was the real leader of the Night Elves in our time, and that was the druid he was sitting on, but since he thought so, Ronin really didn't have any good opinions, but he was ready to escape. Once the situation is unfavorable, he must ensure his safety, and of course the orcs, although he has no friendship with the orcs, but the orcs of this era have a surprising sense of intimacy. It was this intimacy that reminded him of their interactions in our time, when we were fighting with the orcs in Kalimdor, and when he went to the Night Lord to find them, of course, it was also at this time that he seemed to think that he had seen some records about Rafincres, the lord of Raven Castle, and he still had some impressions of the contents of those records, the memories of his efforts to turn the tide, and Ronin still believed in Malfurion's judgment.
They were heading towards Raven Castle, as were Illidan and Lord Rafenkres, and Illidan was keeping an eye on his brother's movements all the way, and to his surprise, since a day had passed, the orc and his brother's signal had become stronger and stronger, he really didn't expect them to come here, and in the direction of Raven Castle. He wondered what was going on, what the orc was doing here, or if the beast was not trustworthy, and that he wanted to take revenge on himself after taking revenge on his brother.
Of course, Illidan's thinking is extreme, or his quick success, that is, his subconscious, that is, he wants to take this orc's eager thinking to make him think like this, in short, he wants to catch this orc, even if it may make his brother arrest and imprisonment.
However, Illidan was also cautious, because his brother might not be able to tell him when he was imprisoned, which may be the main hesitation of Illidan, but as they arrived at their destination and got closer to the two of them, Illidan finally couldn't bear it. Because the will to make quick gains has been reminding him of one thing, and that is that they will likely meet before they arrive at Raven Castle. If then they would still be caught after they foresaw it, it would be better to do it themselves than to meet him unexpectedly, even if Malfurion or the orcs betrayed him at that time, his own initiative might prove that he and the two of them were not in the same group, as for whether they would betray Tyrande, Illidan did not think that they would do so, because he knew this very well in his heart.
Twenty kilometers away, Illidan finally relented, and pretended to tell Raffencrees that the orc he wanted to capture and the accomplice were somewhere to the east, hoping that the lord would give him some men to capture them. Everyone laughed at Illidan's statement, especially some of the Moon Guards, because they had never heard of such magic. However, Lafenkress was not, and he wanted to ask what had made Illidan so adamant, and to ask Illidan to tell him how the magic worked and where it came from. Illidan didn't know how to answer this, but he quickly thought of a saying, that is:
"As you must know, that accomplice is my twin brother. We're twins, so..."
"Brother, huh, it's a pity that your brother chose the wrong path, but I really want to know why he fell to the ground to help this alien like this, and what conspiracy he had to do when he fell to the ground. β
"To be honest, I want to know too, so I hope we'd better interrogate him than kill him right away. Illidan said cautiously, perhaps this was a sentence from his conscience, although such an act might expose their actions in the previous days, but out of brotherly affection, he was still not ready to poison his brother, and at this time she had been engaged in a mental struggle.
However, this kind of ideological struggle came to an abrupt end more than an hour after they arranged the encirclement, that is, after they saw only orcs and humanoids appear on nightblade leopards, because such a scene just verified his suspicions, that is, this orc had accomplices, and they must have harmed their brother and taken away the materials from him, otherwise how could the signal device on his brother's body be on them, obviously he didn't know that the huge nightblade leopard was his brother's become.
Here, Malfurion and his party didn't know that they were ambushed by their own brothers, and suddenly, hundreds of nightbladed leopards rushed towards him, and a continuous stream of arcane missiles were launched here, in the face of such an attack, even Luo Ning couldn't deal with it, not to mention that they were still sneak attacked. In this regard, Luo Ning immediately thought of setting up a portal to leave, but he didn't have any time to cast spells at all, so he could only watch the Night Elf army approach. And at this time, Illidan rushed forward to avenge his brother, and his target was himself and the orcs of Brooks.
Brocks was a little overwhelmed by his appearance, especially seeing his hideous face, Brooks understood what the Night Elf had misunderstood, such as that he didn't know that he was sitting with his brother at all, not that the Night Elf thought that he had killed his brother. Perhaps for this purpose, Brooks did not have the full will to fight, but Malfurion, as a mount, acted against his brother's reckless actions, pounced on his brother, and told him in his own voice who he was.
"Illidan is me, and they didn't harm me. β
Illidan was a little confused when he heard this, but when his brother said this, he just gave himself a pretext to push the boat along, that is, to betray them.
"Yes, I thought... I thought you were killed, so..."Illidan said as he looked at the tide of soldiers behind him, but the soldiers seemed to have deliberately slowed down a bit after seeing that they had been pounced, as if they were waiting for themselves to be torn to pieces by "Malfurion" before avenging him, Illidan was also a little angry about this, so he focused on his brother, who was quite sincere to him. "It's Lord Raffencresse, you guys find a way to get out of here. β
Illidan didn't say any more, after all, the men had caught up, and when Malfurion saw that it was Rafenkres who had arrived, he turned to Ronin and Brox.
"Maybe the person we want to see has arrived. Hearing this, Luo Ning, who originally wanted to continue to make portals, also gave up his idea and immediately raised his hands, and for Brooks, he could only reluctantly do so. Then Malfurion turned to his brother, "You can take them prisoner first, we are here to meet your lord." β
"Hmm," Illidan said, quickly flipping Malfurion, the nightblade leopard, and quickly unloading Brooks' weapon.
The belated Raven Castle Lords boasted of Illidan's bravery once again. At the same time, for these non-Night Elves, he was very interested in another alien Luo Ning, because it was more elegant than the orcs, and he couldn't help but want to try to communicate with him. Look at how savage he is.
"Who are you, or do you not understand our language?"
"I think we'll be able to communicate freely, Lord Ravenville!"
"It's strange that you know me so well, but I don't know anything about you. The Lord of Raven Castle couldn't help but get off his mount and smiled at the people around him. "Do any of you know who they are?" Seeing everyone laugh and shake their heads, the Raven Castle Lord couldn't help but feel some anger at this. "It's dangerous, someone knows us very well, but we don't know anything about them, isn't it ridiculous?" The generals, who were still riding on their mounts, quickly dismounted and lowered their heads.
However, in the face of such a situation, Luo Ning was the first to break this peace:
"I don't think it's scary as an ally, it's scary that the enemy is more familiar with me, but we don't know anything about them. β
Ronin's statement attracted the attention of many people, including their high lord.
"Oh, I don't think you're an enemy, so what are you, a mutated Night Elf, or a mutated dwarf, or some other anomaly?"
"We are humans, we may be a little different from our own kind, some of them do curse me as an alien, but none of them really think that I am an alien, the real alien is the upper elves or the subclass of the Night Elves who have become the High Elves. They are now trying to create chaos and unleash demons to threaten the world. Their minions Cerberus have arrived, and soon more and more terrible demons will come, and their most terrible demons can even tear our planet apart, so we must stop this from happening..."
Ronin spoke, but just as he wanted to continue, the Deputy Lord, Lord Stareye, interrupted him.
"Shut up, you're alarmist, the Empress has strict control over those upper elves, and it is our glory to ascend to the upper elves. β
"But after becoming a high-level elf, they will despise you as a night elf, and they almost all do it without exception, I think this contradiction between your upper elves and your night elves is not a day or two, but they occupy a great disadvantage in numbers. β
Luo Ning argued with reason, it was true that his experience in the library of the main city of the Night Elves had made him understand some of the contradictions between the Night Elves and the High Elves in this era, and now it seems that these words did speak to the heart of Rafenkris, the Lord of the Night Elves.
"Aliens, what else do you know about us. β
"I also learned that your capital, Azara, is now undergoing a terrible change, it has become a hell, and the upper elves have not been disturbed at all, because they have released the demons, and they think they control the demons, but when the demons have destroyed the existence except for the upper elves, they will become the last sacrifice of the demons. β
When Luo Ning spoke, he also used his own magic to depict some scenes of the appearance of demons, and the hideous face of the legion made many people present a little frightened, in this regard, Brooks, who was on the side, couldn't help but scorn several times when he saw everyone so much.
However, the picture did not last long before it ended, and with the end of the picture, the Night Elves were silent for a long time, but it could be seen that some people were ready to gear up, some people were pretending to be calm, and some people were even frightened, it can be seen that many people believed it, but in order to ensure the authenticity, the Great Lord still continued his doubts:
"What basis do you have for this?" When the Great Lord said this, Ronin froze, and indeed he couldn't prove it. And when it came to the sore spot, he couldn't help but pull out his sword and give Luo Ning one last time. "I think you'd better prove it to me, or you'll know what's going to happen with your creature IQ. β
Just when Ronin was at a loss, Blox saw the green blood of the demon remaining on the Great Lord's sword. In this regard, he also spoke to break Luo Ning's embarrassment:
"You've definitely met demons, and I bet you've fought them, unless the sword isn't yours, but the demon's blood is real, and it's a hellhound. β
Everyone was amazed to hear the orc say this, they didn't expect this beast to have such insight. However, due to some festivals, the Great Lord still didn't want to admit it, and Ronin happened to realize something, that is, during this time, these Night Elf mages themselves have changed, and this time happened to be after my actions and Gianna's actions, Aishara completely closed the overflow of the power of the Well of Eternity, so the ability that the Moon Guardian was originally given is now gone.
"I suppose the source of the mage's magic came from the Well of Eternity, but now the bounty of the Well of Eternity to you is over. Ronin said and quickly released a portal, and the quick-eyed Ronin and Broxs quickly jumped in. The magicians recognized what Ronin was trying to unleash, but it was at this point that they found that their magic had no effect, and the others were surprised when Ronin and Broxus returned. Then Luo Ning continued to explain to the Great Lord at this time, as if he was proposing conditions. "I think at this time, you understand, the Well of Eternity was manipulated by the upper elves at this time, and I don't need a source of magic like you to cast magic at all, we are here to fight against our enemies, otherwise we can leave quickly. β
"Very good alien, you only proved that we are not a threat to your life. But you haven't proven that the upper elves are responsible for this disaster,"
The High Lord Raffincresse continued to make inferences rigorously and withdrew the sword, while the Deputy Lord Stareye was even more reluctant to accept this fact, and even more suspicious of Luo Ning and the others
"Maybe it's the devil's trouble, and you're the accomplice in dividing our relationship with the upper elves. β
Their judgment led to a lot of Night Elves, and almost all of them returned to the same hostile relationship with Ronin as they had been, and Ronin seemed a little flustered about this, and was always ready to open the second portal. Still, he said some words:
"Maybe everything will be explained when the refugees from the capital flee here. It's just that now we can't prove it. β
Ronin was ready to run away when he said this, but at this time, Rafenkres seemed to sense some sincerity from Ronin, after all, he also felt that his political rival Harvey did have some small movements, and he changed his tone to question Ronin in a calm tone.
"And how do you prove that we are allies?"
Ronin was hesitant to answer this answer, but Brooks had a simple idea, and he immediately answered the lord's question:
"We also killed those Cerberus. They are the enemies of us all. β
"Maybe that doesn't prove that you're friendly to us, it just shows that the monster is hostile to anyone. For example, the twin brother that Illidan just sensed, is it here for you, or what did you do to him, and his brother's soul leads his brother to let him take revenge!"
Rafenkris shook his head a little, but at this moment Malfurion, who could not help himself, finally appeared, he changed back into human form, and explained a reason to his surprised kindred:
"No, you are mistaken, High Lord, I have already proved his friendliness to our world when I fought alongside them the day before, and they have just proved that they are responsible for their companions by not abandoning me but returning, trust my judgment of them. β
Everyone was stunned by Malfurion's change, after all, they had never seen any Night Elves with such abilities, and he looked too similar to Illidan. However, he seemed to understand one thing for the Lord of Ravenburg, after all, there was news that a man who looked the same as Illidan had let the orc go, and that was him, Illidan's sibling brother.
"You're a Night Elf, but none of us have the ability. He glanced at Illidan as he spoke, but Illidan wasn't as surprised as he thought, because...
"If we had studied under Cenarius, the king of the forest, perhaps we would all have this ability. β
"Cenarius is just a legend. β
"No, it's real, my brother can attest. β
Malfurion pointed at Illidan, who nodded and opened his mouth to admit it, even though Illidan didn't want to admit it.
"Yes, he does exist, and many of the spells I use are learned there. β
"Then what do you want to say, trust these foreigners, tell me that all this is true. β
The High Lord looked incredulous, obviously there was too much information, but Malfurion clearly wanted him to accept reality.
"Although I can't believe it, this is indeed true, the actions of the upper elves have seriously threatened the entire world. β
Intuitively, though, I know you're right, but I need proof, after all, you're against the High Elves, and you've got to give me enough proof.
"When evidence is needed, it's all over. β
Ronin urged, but Malfurion stopped Ronin's impatience, because he sensed that some of the rout scouts had arrived here, and a very close soldier, after arriving at the Great Lord, he couldn't help but get nervous after telling the Great Lord about some of the capitals, and he decided to use the simplest way to do it, which was to contact the Empress in a secret way to see her reply, although he knew that he would be punished if he reported to her when his mission failed, but he still did it cheekily, and in fact he did get a very strange reply, that is, he got some code words from the Empress, which were only used when she was in a very critical situation. It was also at this time that he suddenly changed his attitude towards Luo Ning and the others and lowered his tone.
"I want to be an ally against demons and the upper elves, and you are a reliable and powerful partner, right?"
"Of course, Lord Lord. Our spells and combat power are necessary to fight them. β
"Very well, then let's go to my castle first to gather forces to counterattack the capital and save our empress. β
The people present were very surprised to hear such a conversation, including Luo Ning, but after seeing his firm determination, no one refuted this lord who had always judged correctly. Only the Star Eye couldn't help but try to ask the reason, and in this regard, the Great Lord felt that it was best to explain it to the Deputy Lord:
"I contacted the Empress, but she replied with a code message that she had been imprisoned and hoped that we would march to the capital in full force. β
Stareye was shocked when he heard this, and even sat on the ground, and after getting up, he hurriedly got up and nodded in agreement with the Great Lord's suggestion. In this regard, everyone sees such a scene, and no one is refusing.
Similarly, Luo Ning and his party were very hesitant to see such a scene, but he felt that he had better follow him. After all, he'd seen some insight into the Great Lord, a record of the Lord's wise decision to put the chaotic Night Elves on the right track. He could only hope that the news was correct, because in the last sentence of the lord to save the empress, he realized that the lord did not realize that the empress was the culprit at all, so he had to doubt the record of our time, and he was very annoyed that the society did not know more about the history, but in this case, he had no other way but to bite the bullet and see how far this lord could take their people.
On the other hand, here in Esshara City, Esshara has returned to peace, but after these several harassments, she has a legitimate reason to control the Well of Eternity, especially the last time, after Gianna obtained the power of the Well of Eternity, Harvey can no longer guarantee his duty to take care of the power of the Well of Eternity, so he has no choice but to hand over the power of his control of the Well of Eternity, but when he asks for it himself, Esshara still gives it back to him. This maintains a balance that allows the Burning Legion to do what they say, at least temporarily, and according to Gianna's tricks, Aishshara has learned how to demand power from this vast source of power.
Although Harvey was reluctant to accept the Empress's orders, he did not disobey the Empress's power, and more importantly, he also thought that it was better to let the Queen's stupid and arrogant empress control this power than the rest of us. So she still accepted the order very obediently.
However, on the other side of the portal, it is not that they are not observant of everything here, although they can't do anything, but they still know what is going on. He is Akmund, in this blood-stained world with all kinds of bones piled up in a fortified castle, the first row on the side occupies the chief general of the Burning Legion of this era, and opposite him is also in the second seat Kil'Gardan, this once upon a time the same brother and sister, but with the increase in their power, especially after becoming the right hand of the king of the Burning Legion, their relationship has become very delicate.
Although Akmund is a little stronger than Kiljadan, the level of cunning, like the difference in their strength, Akmund is a little less than Kiljadan. But this was a comparison between the two of them, and compared to the other demons of the Burning Legion, it was already a celestial existence, but above them, Sargeras was an extraterrestrial being.
Sargeras, as the leader, of course, understood the delicate relationship between the two brothers, but he didn't care, because they understood that it was because they were not stupid that they would be completely subordinated to their incomparably strong will, and it was their true intelligence that united the Burning Legion under his hands. If this situation changes, it will be unless you are really dead. Of course, if he really died, Sargeras didn't need to think about these things.
At this moment, Sargeras is sitting on his high throne, a huge burning giant is sitting there, if it is not for some armor wrapping, maybe he may have cracked, of course, it is just a feeling, but when it comes to feeling, the most shocking thing is the fierce eyes on his face, and the pair of horns on the chest, yes, the huge burning head almost makes people see any face, and the two horns on the head are bigger than any demon, maybe it is so, and it also marks his unique identity- The Demon King. Of course, under this hideous face, one may not think of a calmness that is more than anyone else, including Akmund, and it is this calmness that allows him to judge almost any action in addition to his own unparalleled strength, but this is completely contrary to his will to destroy everything. And it was precisely this that made him crazy and degenerate from one of the most powerful Titans to what he is now.
As usual for large meetings, this time the lower levels were all the top of the Burning Legion, but even the huge Abyss Lord Manolos was like a palm-sized existence, of course, the demon lords were not so small, and they only behaved so in order to respect their masters. This was all the more true this time, because they knew about the progress of Sargeras's invasion of Azeroth, and the people below them wanted to be the vanguard of what should have been done long ago in place of the third-rate goods like Haka, the scumbag leader.
In Akmund's case, although his master Sargeras did not ask himself to take charge of this matter, he knew that his master would definitely give him the position of vanguard, and the reason was simple, that is, because he thought that the two of them were the only two of them in the entire Burning Legion who saw the Empress's conspiracy clearly, and the other major generals, including Kilgardan, all talked about the simple understanding that the Empress Azhara was stupid and that Harvis was procrastinating and Haka, the dog king, was not doing well.
Of course, Akmund may not understand Kil'Gardan's true intentions, in fact, this brother does not want to take this job to make such a statement, because only Kilgardan and Sargeras really understand why this empress did this, that is, because there is a stronger force behind him, and if he doesn't make Sargeras, he will fail. Therefore, as Kilgardan, who competes with Akmund for the number two man, it is better for him to let Akmund take over this tricky task. After all, success is deserved, and the success of this small world will not add much power to him in everyone's minds, but the risk of failure may be a little big, and the consequences of failure may be fatal. Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will definitely lose a lot of strength, so seeing that Akmund has a somewhat positive appearance, Kilgardan still thinks it is better to let Akmund take risks.
And indeed, Sargeras also knows some of the empress's plans, and of course he can understand some of Kil'Gardan's caution and selfishness, as well as Akmund's eagerness to try, but as the leader of the Burning Legion, although he has endless warriors, there are only these two people who can handle it, so there is no way, although the power of the eternal well in that world makes him covet, but he still feels that it is necessary not to let them take risks, and the power of that eternal well does have the potential for them to evolve to the same level as themselves...
After much thought, he decided to let a real reckless man under his command carry out his will instead of Harvey and Haka, after all, he was furious to see the demons in the service of their arrogant and unrighteous High Elves. Of course, he also hoped that the No. 4 person could add some experience and prestige through this experience to restrain the separation of the two brothers.
"Manolos, you go there and coordinate this. Sargeras said in a tone of jealousy and ferocity, which revealed the calmness that only Kilgardan and Akmund could hear, but as for the result, they were both a little disappointed, and compared to their disappointment, the designated person was very excited.
Magnos was quite excited to hear this, yes, he really wanted to do it, but he thought that this tricky matter would be Akmund or Kil'Gardan's, but he didn't expect it to be himself.
"Thank you to my master, I won't let you down" The Abyss Lord's grateful look made people look very cute. And there was no compliment or congratulations on this kind of foolishness, and there was not even any movement, because the people above him had their own ghosts, and the city was very deep, and those below him did not dare to offend this fierce and cruel chief, except for one person, who even thought that the master's choice was wrong. It was because of his thinking that he realized that there was a huge magical power hidden there, and he did not want a lord who was good at magic and intrigue to carry out this task, and he also came to the conclusion that this empress may not be as simple as he thought. He thought so, but it was at this moment that he suddenly realized that he ought not to think like this at the master's meeting, for Sargeras saw each of them as clearly as he looked in a mirror.
"Do you have any comments, Tikdios?"
His thinking was soon discovered by Sargeras, and for Tikdios, although he led his master down this path, he was not even among the top few in terms of status, so he was very cautious about the questions of the great chief, especially after he had moved his own crooked thoughts. However, to be able to occupy a high position here for a long time, he still has some reflexes, and in an instant he thought of a good response:
"I just wanted to give him a piece of advice... Watch out for the Empress. β
His words caused the people around him to laugh, especially Manolos, the chosen King of the Abyss Lord this time, who had often despised this cunning Dreadlord who could threaten his position, and this time this will was even stronger.
"What do you think that woman can do, those scaring spells, he can only fire them once at a time, and I will kill her before I can strike her at the first moment. β
Almost everyone agrees on this, but at this time, Sargeras spoke, and he still kindly reminded his reckless Abyss Lord King.
"Tikdios' advice is not for nothing, and if you don't have to, don't make an enemy of that woman. Sargeras said in a slightly serious tone, but just when everyone was puzzled, he immediately turned to Kilgardan, who was not laughing with everyone this time, and assigned another order: "If you don't want to participate in this mission, I won't force it, I hope you can find your brother Veron for me quickly, I don't want to hear the cry of that fly, not once!!" Sargeras said and assorted it into a nebula, a planet deep in the nebula, where the Draenei continued their civilization.
"I know!" Kil'Gardan gritted his teeth at the thought of this, yes, he originally wanted this brother to submit to Sargeras as the senior commander here, but this guy actually left here with a group of people behind his back, this behavior was almost enough for the Ereda clan to be cleared by Sargeras for treason. Although Veron may now become a political enemy if he joins the Burning Legion, the feeling at that time still made him bear the traces of failure at the beginning, and with this, Akmund, who was originally a new leader, gradually overtook himself and gradually became his second position equal, and even surpassed himself day by day. "I'm going to prepare with my people. Kil'Gardan left, but this time there were fewer generals who followed him. Less than half of Eredar, a handful of Dreadlords and Abyss Lords, and a few other demon leaders, it was clear that his status in the hearts of everyone had once again declined, but he knew that these were temporary, and that everything would change when he returned with his blade in his hands.
Of course, there is another link in his beautiful plan, that is, if there is a huge trap in the world he envisions, maybe Sargeras will pay for himself, and then he may come in another form. Of course, it is better to take his brother Akmund to that world with him when the time comes.
But it was at this time that he and Akmund happened to be placed on a mission, and this task was also what Akmund was good at...
"Tell Haka that the Lord of God will first send a warrior to direct the establishment of the portal. He will be there to represent my will, and I need a portal that will allow him to enter. β
"Happy to convey, my master. Akmund said and began to cast spells, and soon the portal became even more huge, this huge did not even consult with the people on the other side, he almost alone completed the expansion of the portal at both ends, and with the expansion of the portal, many demon leaders were surprised by Akmund's powerful strength and ability, the same side, Aishara also noticed the change of the portal here, along with the change of the portal, he also realized more and more that the caster's strength had surpassed himself, but just when he thought that it would be Sargeras himself, he realized that he was wrong, the person who came was not the person in the portrait at all, not a spellcaster, but a behemoth, he is like a fat man squeezing the window to finally get in, a huge demon with a big black mouth the size of a dragon. The dog king Haka knelt on the ground early when he saw him coming, Harvey hesitated for a moment, and did not kneel down after seeing the empress, and he was very angry about Harvis's action, and even spit out a sentence that made everyone around him frightened:
"The killing in this world is about to start again, and you are not going to be making mistakes. β
Azhara was very disgusted with this Abyss Lord, and it just so happened that at this time, the code word from the Lord of Raven Castle arrived, and Azhara Chen told her an idea at this time, that is, to make this Abyss Lord pay for his arrogance.
