Chapter 142: Distorting the Void
It's been a week since the huge contingent of the Valoran Kalimdor Expeditionary Force set foot in the Barrens. There are no traces of human settlement in this ancient land, which is primitive and desolate.
The able-bodied minotaurs dragged the cannons removed from the seagoing ships, while the landed navies carried other war supplies. They also have some unique-looking comrades in their ranks, blue-skinned jungle trolls!
"I say, Woking, are you sure you're on the right path?" Planck sat on his horse and asked the troll leader next to him a little irritably.
"Don't worry, you can't go wrong." Woking replied unhurriedly. His hair was fiery red and shaved to the style of a mohican's head. The arms are long, the legs are also long, and it looks like a strong body.
"But why haven't you found the Minotaur yet?" Planck muttered.
"It's not bad to be able to kill some centaurs, they're really the most suitable ghost cavalry!" Once in the barrens, the expeditionary force encountered several sneak attacks from the centaur tribe. But they were discovered by Hecarim from afar, and each time they were killed. The Centaur Ghost found that the souls of these guys were best collected to create Shadow Cavalry, so he has been very active as a scout these days, looking around for traces of other centaur tribes.
If he can collect 100,000 centaur ghosts, he will be invincible!
With this in mind, Hekarim suddenly felt that the commander had made the most wise decision in sending him to the expedition!
Ten days ago, their fleet saved the jungle trolls of the Darkspear Clan, who had been nearly wiped out from an attack by the aqua creatures, the Fishmen and Naga. Then, to Planck and Alista's surprise, the troll leader Senkin thought they were the prophesied ones to save them - and the heroes of Valoran looked at each other: they did not expect to fire a few rounds of cannons and become the prophesied savior of the troll tribe.
Later, Senjin swore allegiance to Alista and his commander, Jiang Weihan. At the same time, he also made a real move - having his son Wojin join their expedition with two thousand troll warriors. Fight with them!
Jiang Weihan didn't know that because of his arrival, even the prophecy seen by the troll lich had become different from what he remembered. Because in the original history, it was the orc tribe and Thrall who saved the trolls. So his plan didn't mention letting Planck and them save the trolls. It's just that fate will come down, and everything has changed.
After Arista consulted with several heroes. It was also an instant decision to accept the allegiance and joining of the Dark Spear tribe on behalf of Jiang Weihan. "Unite the objects that can be united", this is the instruction given to them by Jiang Weihan, and their approach is obviously completely following it.
The afternoon sun was lazy, and Planck was a little drowsy. Just then a troll hunter returned on a velociraptor and reported, "There's a pack of centaurs attacking the minotaurs ahead!" β
Planck immediately fell asleep. Spirits perked up and shouted, "Boys! Cheer up, the battle is coming! β
"Centaurs!" Hecarim's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately sped away on all fours.
"Ahh The little fish-man jumped off the roof of the wagon carrying supplies. Holding up the trident, he yawned.
And in the valley of the giant trees in front of the expeditionary force, thousands of centaurs raided the minotaur outpost stationed here. The centaurs are natural warriors and marksmen, and they rely on their speed to constantly throw javelins and poisoned arrows at the minotaurs in the sentry posts, even if the minotaurs are physically strong, it is difficult to resist such an attack, not to mention their own numerical disadvantage.
In the midst of the scuffle, a minotaur druid who turned into a bear pounced on him. The sheer force pounced on a centaur, and it opened its mouth and tore the centaur's throat apart, unoblivious to the salty blood in its mouth.
Not far from Xiong De, he didn't pay attention. A strong centaur took aim with a bow and fired an arrow. Seeing that he was about to hit, another minotaur warrior suddenly rushed over, waved the totem pole in his hand, and knocked down the deadly dark arrow.
"Brother, there are too many of them. We're going to get back! The Minotaur warrior shouted.
Xiong De slaughtered another centaur, and he opened his mouth to spit out, "Brother." You take the people to withdraw! I'm here to stop them! β
"Don't let anyone try to escape!" Behind the minotaurs, a strong centaur khan led a group of centaurs down the retreating hillside. They completely cut off the Minotaur's retreat.
"It's over. Brother, we're going to die here! The minotaur warrior shouted in despair.
"Then kill a few more centaurs!"
However, just as they were desperate, a burst of cannon fire rang out, landing in the crowd of centaurs, blasting the centaurs near the landing site into pulp. Not far away, a ghost, also a centaur, laughed and rushed up, brandishing a halberd, constantly reaping the lives of one centaur after another.
There was a shout in the distance, and countless warriors popped up.
An army of minotaurs, trolls, humans, and pandamen prepared to overwhelm the centaur raiders like a frenzy.
The desperate minotaurs shouted that they were saved!
But these minotaur brothers don't look like them, so why do their horns fork like antlers?
Planck slammed a centaur who was trying to struggle, and smirked, "Hahaha, now I've finally found the minotaur named by the commander!" It's really fucking not easy! β

Jiang Weihan, who was worried about the captain, was in a strange space at this time. Unlike before when he entered the void with soul meditation, this time he was banished even his body and came to the real void.
Nozdom used the power of the Sands of Time, and although he didn't kill him, his current state couldn't be considered surviving.
The Twisted Void is the other side of the universe. Tangible and qualitative matter makes up worlds, such as Azeroth and Draenor, while invisible energies make up the Twisted Void.
Jiang Weihan saw colorful mist and aurora-like bands of light surging in the boundless darkness. It is as beautiful and spectacular as the strange nebula in the large universe photographed by an astronomical telescope that I once saw on the Internet.
Jiang Weihan didn't have to worry about starving to death. Because there is no concept of time here. Even the concept of space is very vague. The sinking of the body does not mean that it has really come to the lower level, and it may not have moved at all.
He struggled to recall Medivan's notes, which contained ways to "survive" in the midst of distortion. It once recorded the encounters of astral mages in the warped void. At this time, Jiang Weihan found out that Medivan was really a good person. The notes, like a survival guide, made him less confused.
You know, this is the stronghold of the creatures of darkness - if you break in, you could crash into the Burning Legion at any moment.
"There is no time and concrete space in the Twisted Void, and the movement of position depends on subjective will. It's the power of fantasy. Jiang Weihan remembered that there was such a record in his notes.
It also contains a way to get out of the Twisted Void - but Jiang Weihan doesn't need it. Because even Medivan hadn't tried to melt his body into the Twisted Void.
In other words, it is up to him to find a way out.
Jiang Weihan immersed himself in a meditative state. With the infinite expansion of his spirit, he "saw" the primordial and wild arcane energy surging in the extreme distance. He instantly appeared in front of a cloud of energy, reaching out to touch it. The frost and the scorching sensation were reflected from the fingers to the nerves almost simultaneously.
'Is this the source of magic?' He withdrew his fingers, thoughtful at the damage on his skin from the magical energy. The next moment. The power of the light restores the fingers to their original state.
When he used the power in his body, he sensed that there was some kind of existence in this space and responded. As soon as his mind moved, he walked through the void to approach that goalβa kind of existence that made people feel warm and loving.
'Naru', Jiang Weihan immediately thought of this holy light creature. He only thought of that one possibility.
If it's in this void. If anyone could possibly help him find his way back, it would be Naru!
In his senses, the force was getting closer and closer to him, and finally he saw this being in the void - it was silently suspended in the void, emitting a soft white light.
It's Naru! Pure creatures of the Holy Light!
It was difficult for Jiang Weihan to equate Naru with the life forms he knew. In his eyes, Naru is more of a mystical symbol, its body is made up of some bizarre geometry and has no eyes. There are no limbs, not even the irregular geometries that make up its body.
"You're here," Naru's voice contained some magical power. Jiang Weihan, who was anxious to go back, calmed down instantly.
He realized that this Naru was waiting for him here.
"I want your help!" Jiang Weihan said directly, "I want to find a way out of the Twisted Void!" β
"Don't worry, that's why I'm here." Naru responded, "My name is Sidar, and I know you, Jiang Weihan. You are in a crisis. My people and I will help you. β
"Crisis?" Jiang Weihan immediately thought of the Burning Legion in this void, except for them. Who else will bring the crisis? As for Naru's knowledge of his origins, it was not surprising, for Naru and the Titans, species whose technology had reached a level completely beyond his imagination. It's not surprising that the other party knows anything.
"Crisis," Naru's body parts slowly spread out, Jiang Weihan felt that his body was wrapped in the power of a holy light, and he didn't resist, because Naru wouldn't harm him. Then something floated out of his space, "From it." Narushidar said.
Jiang Weihan's heart was beating wildly, that was the heart of Sargeras, which Karthas had brought him before!
This is the base camp of Sargeras, and this great demon must have a way to sense the location of this heart.
"Don't worry, we'll help you." Sidar's voice was full of soothing power.
Jiang Weihan calmed down and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Nalu is really a good species that really helps others......

When the white-haired Gianna woke up, she found that she was wearing special forbidden handcuffs on her wrists, and she was completely unable to cast any spells. Carried on the back of a steel mane, she made her way through the dark tunnels of the earth.
The footsteps of the retreating warriors echoed underground, and hardly anyone spoke. The atmosphere was very dreary.
"She's awake." Sejuani broke the silence with a voice.
Ronin and Wenlesa stepped forward and helped the white-haired Gianna down.
"Can you go?" Ronin asked.
In the dim darkness of the earth, there was only the faint glow of the torches, and Gianna was a little afraid to meet the red-haired mage's eyes. She lowered her head and said "um".
"So, tell me about you." Luo Ning's voice was a little stiff. It was difficult for him to think that the person in front of him was the same person as his friend Gianna in Dalaran. And the other party's aiding and abusing made him feel completely unfavorable. If it weren't for the answer, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left this person who stood in their way.
"I ......" Gianna felt a little guilty, in her time and space, the red-haired mage in front of her died trying to save her. But she is fighting against Luo Ning in this time and space.
Kyle stared at her and said coldly, "Speak quickly, before my patience runs out." There was a dangerous glint in her eyes under her helmet, and since Jiang Weihan disappeared, no one dared to mess with her.
"I'm sorry...... But in my original plane, Nozdom summoned me. That's when I made a mistake. She remembered the scene when Theramore was bombed by Garrosh. Hatred rose in her heart, which made her voice gnash her teeth, "I have implicated many innocent people and made them die for me. She glanced up at Ronin, then quickly lowered her head. So I did something stupid. More innocent casualties were caused. β
She remembered the moment when she summoned the elemental tides and flooded Orgrimmar. The person who stopped her went too late, and she completed her revenge. Huge waves rushed from the shore to Durotal, drowning Orgrimmar and drowning countless orcs. But it doesn't end there, the tide starts because of her, but it doesn't end at her commands.
An endless tide of sea overwhelmed Durontar and flooded Azhara. Flooded the valley of ash and the barren land...... Almost a third of Kalimdo became Ze State. Countless living beings died in those days.
When she came to her senses, it was too late.
That's when Nozdom found her and sued her. There is a group of people who have disrupted a certain timeline, and if she helps the Bronze Dragon Legion eliminate them, the Bronze Dragon can give her a chance to travel back in time to before the destruction of Theramore, so that she can undo a qiΔ mistake.
Gianna agreed. Then she came into the world with the help of the bronze dragon and followed his instructions to kill anyone who stood in his way.
Nozdom sued her. Any enemy there showed up at the wrong time. and admonished her not to show mercy to anyone.
This answer makes them not completely angry with Gianna, who is just a person to be taken advantage of.
"Then the rest of the people should be in a similar situation." Luo Ning said angrily. "What a crazy stupid dragon!"
"Luo Ning, can you tell us about the current situation? What year is it? What Gianna saw in front of her made her not know who to believe. She knew that there had never been such a group of heroes in the past who fought the Frozen Throne against the Lich King's minions and bronze dragons.
The Nozdom of her plane may not have completely deceived her.
"Except for the Red Dragons. The other dragons are crazy! Still a little indignant, Ronin cursed in a low voice, and then told Gianna about the world.
Valoran from another world?
The Cult of the Damned, which was destroyed prematurely, and the Plague of Stratholme that was stopped?
A natural disaster in Gilnehs?
This qiΔ was hitting Gianna's nerves.
Her father, Dai Lin. Prodmore is alive; Ronin stood right in front of her; Alsace did not follow that wrong path either...... However, it immediately occurred to her that the world also had a self?
Gianna smiled self-deprecatingly.
Luo Ning stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Now you almost know these things. So, what do you do? β
Gianna knew that this was to make her take a stand, and she recovered from her old memories and replied earnestly, "I don't know if what Nozdom said is right or wrong. But I see that things in the world are moving in a good direction. I'm sorry about the previous incident. β
"I'm sorry." She bowed to everyone and apologized, then smiled with relief, "I don't have anything left to remember in that world." What Nozdom promised no longer matters, and now I was able to be personally involved in this mission to change the fate of Azeroth much earlier. I sincerely hope that the mistakes of the past can be avoided. Please give me this chance! β
Luo Ning looked at the others, and after seeing the recognition in their eyes, he smiled at Gianna: "Okay, I'm glad you can change your ways." You are welcome to join us! β
Gianna's eyes welled up with tears, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you!" β
"By the way, there's one more thing." Luo Ning smiled evilly, "You won't grab a boyfriend with your younger self, will you?" β
ββ
When Nozdom woke up, he found himself in his dragon's lair. The pain all over his body was excruciating, and the wounds on his chest, abdomen, and neck were as unbearable as fire.
He let out a low roar of pain.
Sori Domi, his spouse, was pleasantly surprised: "Nozdom, my love, you have finally woken up!" β
"I ......" Nozdom tried to look up, but the wound on his throat instantly reported ten times the pain, making him give up the action in pain. His airways were punctured by Kyle's sword, causing him pain with every breath.
"Don't move, Nozdom, you need to take care of your injuries." The bronze dragon Crodom whispered, "You're badly injured. β
"But I'm not reconciled!" Nozdom was weak, but his eyes were extremely hateful, "I'm not willing to end it like this!" There are also some intruders who have not been cleared! He looked at Crodom, "Will you help me?" Crodom, now only you can help me and get rid of them! β
"I'm not going to do anything like that." Crodom looked at the Bronze Dragon King with some disappointment, "I wouldn't do the same stupid thing as you. (To be continued) R655
