Chapter 466: The Continuation of the Fourth War
After forty years, the continent, which had been quiet for a long time, finally set off another *** war, and Nefarian, who had been committed to repairing the Dark Gate, was no longer satisfied with defense, but launched an active attack on the Holy Land. 【Reading.com】
Because the number of demons who came to the continent of Dota through the Dark Gate was limited, Nefarian contacted several giants of the Scourge Legion to use the power of the army of the undead.
Of course, in return, Nefarian promised that after the deed was completed, Kilgardan would give them the S-rank jīng spirit necessary to advance to the seventh order.
In fact, Nefarian's calculation is very clear, Kilgardan is not his Black Dragon Clan after all, even if he successfully assists Kilgardan to descend on the Dota Continent and obtains the fragment of the Scepter of Sargeras and the origin of Deathwing, which Kilgardan wants, Nefarian himself will not get anything, Kiljadan will at most drive him as a dog, and if he is happy, he will give him some strength, and it is not impossible to wipe him out if he is unhappy.
Therefore, Nefarian wants to seize every opportunity to control his own power, and he doesn't have to count on the Jīng spirit of Deathwing, even if he can get that thing before Kil'Gardan's arrival, it is impossible to absorb it in just ten years, not to mention that these subordinates sent by Kil'Gardan to monitor him are not vegetarians.
The only thing he had hope of getting was the three dragon soul fragments controlled by the Holy Land, the dragon soul was an artifact forged with the blood of the five-line divine dragon jīng, and it was not allowed to be driven by non-dragons, so Kilgardan shouldn't care too much about this kind of thing that was too bad for him. (Gu Nansheng was able to drive the Dragon Soul Fragment because he himself had some dragon blood.) )
As long as he gathers the complete soul of the dragon and refines it in time, although he still can't compete with Kil'Gardan, he will at least have a hole card to save his life.
No one can stand at the top of the universe forever, and in the long history, whether it is Sargeras, Akmund, the Elder Gods, the Lich King, and some other demon kings of the world, they have not escaped the end of the ashes, so Nefarian believes that Kil'Gardan will one day fall.
All he has to do is wait, Taoguang is obscure, hide his strength, he doesn't need to defeat Kil'Gardan, as long as he lives longer than Kil'Gardan, then he may get the opponent's origin jīng魄 and advance to a god-level powerhouse.
Thinking of this, a hint of yīn flashed in Nefarian's eyes, and he subconsciously shook his hand, as if he wanted to control the entire universe in his hands.
Just as there was a slight fluctuation in Nefarian's jīng sea of gods, the dreadful demon king Hernuras, who had his back to him, moved, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hernuras is the current leader of the Dreadlord clan of the Burning Legion, in the third war 10,000 years ago, the Dreaddemon clan lost a lot of strong people, Hernuras was only the sixth order at the time, and now, he has been promoted to the seventh order.
The Dreaded Demon King Jīng is bewitched and hypnotized, and they are very sensitive to the evil thoughts generated by the sea of human beings, so Hernuras was aware of Nefarian's mental activity at this time.
However, it didn't matter to him what Nefarian was planning, he was willing to attack the Holy Land with Nefarian just to find out the whereabouts of the Oakheart.
Rumors had been circulating in the Holy Land that the Heart of the Oak had been taken by Sylvanas 10,000 years ago, but Hernuras did not believe it.
So he wanted to capture Malfurion alive and, through his vaunted demagoguery and hypnosis, find out the true location of the Heart of the Oak Tree from Malfurion's Jīng Sea of Gods.
The Holy Land and the Neutral Territory had to join forces again, however, the Great War of forty years ago had left the Coalition rejuvenated, and now they were at a disadvantage against the Burning Legion.
However, fortunately, the hundreds of millions of non-JĪNG Rui troops in the Holy Land and the Neutral Territory did not lose much in the great battle forty years ago, when due to the limited number of war horses such as Wyverns, Griffins, and Horned Eagles, the coalition only used 100,000 JĪNG Rui when dealing with the Black Dragon Legion, and did not use low-level transfer soldiers.
In fact, a low-level transfer warrior had no effect at all in the face of a black dragon whose strength was comparable to that of a third-order powerhouse, and who was flying high in the sky. This war with the Scourge Legion is completely different, and the low-level transferred soldiers have become the main force of the war because of their huge base.
Thus, a large-scale battle unfolded in the Guards territory, and the armies of both sides were more than 100 million, including many mortals.
The war was intractable, tragic and unusual, and the people of the guards were displaced and miserable.
In the precarious rìzi, people can't help but think of the heroic figure who slaughtered the god with a sword forty years ago and saved the entire continent with his own strength, but unfortunately, since that war, that person has not been heard from.
Many people prefer to believe that he has just gone into hiding, hoping that at some point in the future, that hero will be able to reign on the battlefield and turn the tide again......
In the winter of 21254 of the Dark Gate, the Burning Legion and the coalition forces finally had their first physical collision, and the Jīng Rui troops of the two armies fought each other in the border city of Cross.
Cross is the gateway to the Holy Land World Tree, and the importance of its geographical location is self-evident, and Gu Nansheng happened to rush to Cross City with Tacit and Jones Xiang the day before the outbreak of the war......
During the war, the city gates were strictly checked, and the rules were that only entry and exit were allowed.
After entering the city, they wanted to find an inn to live in, but they didn't want all the inns in the city to close, and even most of them became temporary barracks.
In desperation, Gu Nansheng and others had to stay in the homes of the people in the city. Although the house they stayed in was not large, there was only one elderly man left in the family, so they could live there.
The old man's sons and daughters had fled, and he was left with nothing to say that he would not leave, and that he would die in Cross.
In fact, in times of war, even if the old people fled with the refugee team, they often died on the road due to hunger, cold, and the fatigue of long journeys, so it was better to stay and pin their hopes on the army, as long as Cross could hold on, they would be safe.
That night, the people of Cross City were enjoying the calm before the storm, Tacita lived alone in the old man's daughter's room, while Gu Nansheng and Jones Xiang lived in the room of the old man's son and daughter-in-law, the old man welcomed the arrival of the three of them, after all, he usually lived alone in such a cold room always seemed empty.
