Rewind the time to ten days ago, after Hogg found Cthun's tentacles in the newly excavated tunnel, and felt that there was hope that the task could be completed in the near future, Hogg asked the Empress to start gathering the bugs of the entire xenomorph nest, so that when he completed the task, he could leave Silishus with the entire xenomorph insect community. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After giving this order, Hogg entered the tunnel, so this task was carried out without any discount by the xenomorph insect queen who was brainwashed into Hogg's pet, and the insects in the entire hive area came out of the horns in a mess, and finally gathered in the queen's bedroom, and because of this, in less than half a day, the insects that originally covered the entire basin disappeared without a trace.

The disappearance of the bugs was soon discovered by the Night Elf sentinels, after all, the Cenarion Fortress focuses on monitoring the Wall of Beetles, so the xeno-hive closest to the Wall of Beetles is of course also a key monitoring area.

Early the next morning, the sentinels on the watchtower went to the fortress hall to report the news of the xenomorph bug's movements to the fortress commander Marris, a strong warrior with a strong will, and faithfully carried out the orders of the Cenarion Council.

Marris's wife, Natalia, is a priestess of the Elune Sisters and an expert in the study of xenomorphs, so when Marlis learns about the mutations of xenomorphs from the sentinels, she immediately goes to his wife Natalia and asks her if the movement of these bugs is normal.

In the open space behind the fortress hall, Maris found his wife, who was watering a pot of tranquilizers that they had inadvertently brought with them when they left the Valley of the Ashes, and although they were not adapted to the climate of Silisus, they were still strong enough to survive under Natalia's careful care.

Seeing Marlis striding over, Natalia put down the watering can in her hand and turned to face Marris: "Honey, is there something going on in the south?" ”

Natalia and Marris had been husband and wife for hundreds of years, so she knew very well that her husband was a dutiful commander for his work, and that it was working time, and that it would not have been possible for Marlis to come to Natalia at this time unless there was a very important emergency.

And Marlis's answer also confirms this: "It's the xenomorphs on the other side of the Rego hive, they seem to have been affected by something, and now they are all hiding in the tunnels, you know these xenomorphs best, and you think they are hiding because of something." ”

Natalia thought for a moment and asked, "Haven't the xenomorphs of the other hives changed?" If a few of the other hives had a similar situation, it was probably a sign of a great storm coming! ”

"The other hives don't seem to have changed, so I don't think it's going to be a big storm, but to be on the safe side, let's go to the watchtower together." Marlis wasted no time, grabbed Natalia's hand and strode in the direction of the watchtower, not forgetting to brief Natalia on what he had learned along the way.

Pulled by Marlis to the top of the watchtower in one breath, Natalia was already sweating, obviously Natalia, as a priest, did not have the strong body of Marris, but she knew that the matter was urgent, although she was out of breath, she still waved her hand to her husband, indicating that she had no problem.

Marris glanced apologetically at his wife, and then began to ask the captain of the guard on the watchtower, Vis Kuruz, "What about the condition of the Rego hive now, and what about the other hives and other beasts and wind elementals?" ”

Since hearing about the mutation of the Rego Hive, the captain of the guard, Vess, has been on the watchtower all night, and knows the situation on the other side of the Xenomorph Hive well, although he doesn't understand why Maris asked about the situation of several other Hives and beasts and wind elements, but he still seriously replied to the commander: "Since yesterday afternoon, the Xenomorph insects on the ground on the Rego Hive have disappeared, and the sentinels on duty at that time witnessed that all of them entered the burrow, and the other Hives are still business as usual, Beasts and wind elementals were also unusual. ”

After listening to the Captain's briefing on the current situation, Marris asked Natalia, "What else could cause these xenomorphs to hide underground besides the Great Storm?" ”

"Excluding the factor of external disasters, then in this situation, I speculate that it is very likely that something is wrong with the Xenomorph Insect Empress, and when the Xenomorph Insect Empress dies unexpectedly, the bugs will gather to elect a new Empress!" Natalia directly said the greatest possibility this time, in fact, she had already thought of this possibility on the way, and now after understanding the current situation, she suddenly felt that this possibility seemed to be the greatest.

"But there is also a problem, according to the growth cycle of xenomorphs, the xenomorph queen of the Rego hive is still in her youth, so I think there may be some external factors that caused the unexpected death of the xenomorph queen." Natalia thought for a moment, then added.

When Maris heard his wife say this, his eyes lit up: "How long does this usually last?" I mean, how long will it take for the xenos to choose a new queen? ”

Natalia thought for a moment: "It usually takes two weeks, because the Rego hive is a large hive, so there are many candidates who can inherit the status of the empress, and they will continue to compete with each other until the strongest one is selected through competition, which will take a long time." ”

Marris then touched his chin and looked at the captain of the guard, Ves, "Do you think we can take advantage of this situation?" This is a good opportunity, and if you take advantage of it, you might be able to uproot the xenomorphs of the Rego hive. ”

Captain Weiss was very cautious: "There are too many unexpected situations, and although what Natalia said is very reasonable, but this is speculation after all, and I think the risk is a little too great." ”

Marris laughed, "You are still the same, always so careful, I have heard that there is a saying in mankind, 'Fight, ponies become carriages', and you don't want to take any risks, but this will let the opportunity slip away!" ”

Weiss shook his head: "Don't forget that there is still the second half of the sentence 'bet, the carriage will become a hearse', anyway, there are still two weeks, you can understand the situation clearly before making a move, so that it is foolproof!" ”
