Anna is brought back to the surface by the Burning Heart. Her face was horribly gloomy, as if a storm was coming. She walked towards Dalein. Beside Proudmore, everyone else also looked at him. Anyone could tell that she must have discovered something bad.

"We must retreat, Generalissimo." Anna's voice was hoarse, it was the first time she had made eye contact with her father since she came into this world. Because what was about to happen was terrible, much more important than her personal feelings.

Dai Lin said disapprovingly: "Now? I think we should be theorizing about this after we have won, ma'am. ”

"What's wrong, Anna?" Antonidas saw her anomaly, "What do you see up there?" ”

"Akmund, master of the Burning Legion, he is coming. The Lich King is summoning him! We must retreat immediately, leave this continent immediately, it will be too late! Believe me, none of us can match him! Anna's voice trembled, and she remembered the fear that Akmund had sown in the past world: she had not witnessed the arrival of the other party, because Antonidas had teleported her away before that. Then Akmund single-handedly destroyed Dalaran, summoned the Burning Legion, and destroyed Lordaeron.

Even in the later Hyjal Holy War, no one could compete head-on with this demon lord. He was invincible, and in the end, it was the self-explosion of the souls of countless Night Elf ancestor guardians that killed him.

"You think we should run away without a fight?" When Dai Lin heard the news, he still looked very unwilling, if he was a good follower, the army of the Northern Expedition would be able to break through the gate of heavenly damnation today. For a maximum of three days, the natural disasters entrenched here will cease to exist. Victory is at hand, how can they be willing to retreat like this?

Uther's heart was also very much in favor of retreating. "Can't we just beat him here? Anna, gathered at the Gate of Damnation is the most powerful force in the entire world. ”

"That's right, the Alliance can't cobble together anything more powerful than that." The Prince of Arthas saw that the opportunity to destroy the Lich King was in front of him. How unwilling to retreat in my heart. The title "Arthas, the Lich King" has always been like a dark cloud that obscures the sky, and he can't let go. If he retreats this time, he doesn't know when he will be able to prove himself with the other party's death.

Anna's eyes were gloomy and desperate, and her voice became hoarse, "Your Excellency, there is nothing shameful about retreating. I have seen the power of Akmund with my own eyes. I have also heard about his terrifying achievements in the Battle of the Ancients. The demigods who died at his hands were too many to count. There's no way we're going to be able to stand up to him, at least not yet! Staying here is just for him to spend a little more time killing us one by one. Believe me, there is no exaggeration in my words! ”

Crassus, the red dragon mage, said, "If Akmund really comes." I believe Anna's words are true. I know a little bit about the history of this demon. This is not an exaggeration, he can crush us all by himself. "He was a young red dragon at the time of the Battle of the Ancients, but what happened at that time really left a deep impression on him. In fact, for all dragons, the War of the Ancients is definitely the most unforgettable memory.

Dai Lin was in a dilemma for a while, and he was still extremely unwilling. "But where can we retreat? If he is so invincible, what is the difference between us dying in Northrend and dying in Lordaeron? ”

"Kalimdor, or the Kingdom of Stormwind, anywhere!" Anna said eagerly, "But it doesn't matter where you retreat." We all have to retreat first! Your Excellency Generalissimo, it's really too late! ”

Dai Lin looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered around him, as well as the siege engines that had been pushed up. The mood was extremely entangled, and in the end I could only sigh. He waved weakly and said, "Then retreat." ”

Retreat is not an easy task. Many people don't understand, not only the soldiers at the bottom, but also many leaders.

Grom. Hell roared, "It's a coward's act to retreat without a fight!" We orcs will not allow us to flee in fear before we have seen our enemies! ”

Anna said coldly, "Hell Roar, if you insist on staying here, I will be happy to see this scene." ”

Her attitude made Luo Ning frown. "Anna, you-"

"Something bad came to mind. I'm sorry. She turned away. Go to the teleporters. She was in the original plane, and it was because of the madness of Grom's son Garrosh that her kingdom of Theramore was ruined. killed countless of her innocent people, as well as Luo Ning and many of her friends and subordinates who she spent time and night with. Hatred and despair led her to gray hair overnight, almost crazy.

After the massacre of Theramore, she realized how right her father was and how naïve she was in the first place. Orcs are orcs, and they always have bloodthirsty and belligerent blood in their veins. It's ridiculous that she was blinded by the reason and justice of Sal's cousin, couldn't see the nature of the orcs, and hastily connived at the other party to kill her father.

She stole the Rainbow of Focus, the magical artifact that destroyed Theramore, and summoned countless water elementals and monstrous waves that drowned Orgrimmar and half of Kalimdor.

Thrall tries to stop her, but she kills her with her own hands.

She completed her revenge. But he also became another, more terrible butcher than Garrosh.

And then she came into the world.

When she saw the orcs again, of course she would no longer have good intentions towards the other party. Grom himself reminded her of Theramore's sad past, so she made a gaffe.

Sarufar grabbed the angry Grom and said, "Hell Roaring Chief, without the Alliance, we can't even open this iron door. Let's go, I think the Great Chiefs and Shamans will guide our path. ”

Akmund's name cast a shadow over everyone's hearts. Do you want to repeat history, lure him to Kalimdor, and let the Night Elves destroy him?

Anna sighed deeply. If that happens, there is only one way.

――

"I feel it, the master is coming!" Tikdios shouted excitedly, "Quick, harder!" ”

The Lich and Dreadlord poured more energy into the Shadow Crystal. Kel'thugad chanted the incantation aloud, and he clearly felt that a great being was approaching the world.

The power of the Book of Medivan was tearing at the barrier of time and space, and a huge portal appeared in front of them.

"Master, master has arrived!" Tikdios' voice trembled with excitement. The same is true for Alsace and Darkan. They are fed up with the days of being threatened by the living. Now it's finally time to turn over!

A giant hoof was the first to pass through the portal. This was followed by two grayish-black hands with sharp claws. The owner of both hands grabbed the edge of the portal and tore it hard at both sides. The portal grew larger until it was large enough to allow the immensely powerful demon in the warped void to pass Guò.

His head poked out first. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Azeroth, what an incomparably wonderful breath!" It's been 10,000 years. I'm back here again! ”

Akmund thought of one thing. He looked at the servants who were summoning him, and his gaze was fixed on Darkan: "You, sue me, is there a human named Jiang Weihan in this world?" ”

"Yes, yes, master! He almost ruined your great plans! Darkan replied with sincere trepidation.

"Where is he now?"

"I think I was banished to another time and space by the power of the time dragon. My master. You ...... "Darkan doesn't understand why Akmund would mention a human."

"Hmm. Very good. Akmund relieved, "No one can stop me now!" He tore open a crack in the space that was large enough for him to fully understand Guò, and strode out.

Behind him, the portal slowly closed. And Akmund finally came into this world.

"Tremble. Despair, mortal! The Burning Legion has arrived! Akmund laughed maniacally. His voice began to reverberate from Northrend to the rest of the world.

Every intelligent creature heard this terrifying voice: Burning Legion, Coming!

With the arrival of the Master, the Scourge no longer has to defend passively. An army of the undead and demons is on the move. The places that the Scourge had been forced to abandon were immediately reoccupied, and those who resisted them were crushed by the force of the Scourge. For example, the Ice Trolls' Daxalon Fortress, which the Burning Legion captured in just an hour.

It's just that when the army of the scourge arrives at the castle of Utgard. It is in ruins. Not even a single body remained. The Scourge can no longer command the allegiance of the Vikus.

――

The arrival of Akmund was the third day of the retreat of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Half of them are still waiting to teleport in the Temple of Dragon's Sleep. The others went to the great harbor of Dreadnought Fortress and Grizzly Hills, and drove all the ships there back.

When the Lord of Demons descended, everyone felt the tremor of the world. This terrifying sound sent chills to countless people.

"Now I have to go back." Winlessa's reluctant gaze swept over the valiant warriors of the Silver Covenant. She and everyone present felt Akmund's arrival. "The Burning Legion has arrived. Northrend is bound to fall into an even greater catastrophe. You have to stay. Or continue to follow me? ”

The leader of the Nirub people, Kyrix, the leader of the Walrus, Karouac, and the leader of the Frostvein Dwarves, Tomer. Thunderfist and the other Northrend Native leaders hesitated.

Tomer. Thunder Fist smiled heartily, "We Frostvein Dwarves can retreat to the Storm Cliffs. If the Scourge comes, we'll take them for a circle! ”

Kyrix said, "General, we Nirub people have a lot of underground passages. It should be possible to avoid natural disasters. This is our land, and only here can we play our strengths. The Nibru will continue to fight against the Scourge! ”

Karouac also said in a generous and open-minded voice, "The walrus people are united now, and we will forget how to survive when we leave this frozen land." Rest assured, General. We'll protect ourselves! ”

Wen Lessa's nose was sour, and they were about to be. It is really difficult for her to let go of these comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side and depended on each other for more than half a year. Especially the great battle in Howling Fjord, these natives present. Every race has paid a great deal of bloodshed and sacrifice.

"Take care, my comrades!" Wen Lesa let herself smile.

"Take care, General. The Nirub people will always be your and Valoran's staunchest friends! ”

"May your heart always be warm!"

"May you live a long and healthy life!"

"General, the Silver Covenant will still be our banner, and it will never fall!"

Luo Ning gently hugged Wen Leisa, who was crying on his shoulder, and comforted gently, "Trust me. It won't be long before you will be reunited under this banner! ”

――

The leaders of the Coalition returned to Lordaeron on the first day. Once again, they came together to discuss how to deal with the threat of the Burning Legion.

As a witness to the invasion of the Burning Legion, Anna spoke generously at the meeting, trying to convince the kings of Lordaeron to relocate. To Kalimdor, or to take refuge in the south of Azeroth—at least as far as she can remember, the Burning Legion hadn't set foot on that land.

But no one was willing to retreat like that. Especially since they hadn't seen the power of Akmund with their own eyes.

Kael'thas and the High Elves value the Well of the Sun more than life. They will never give up on Quel'Salas lightly;

Lordaeron has a large population and a huge force, and even if Terenus wants to take refuge, there are just as many stubborn people who can stay behind. Even if he is a king, he cannot force everyone to obey his commands;

Stormwind was willing to accept them with all its might. But no one knows if a large number of people move south, whether the Burning Legion will go south and bring new destruction;

Saar also participated in the meeting. Now that everyone is retreating from Northrend, are the orcs going to take land from the Scourge and the Burning Legion on their own? He had secretly made up his mind to let the orcs go to Kalimdor, the New World.

Dalaran has risen into the air. And Pearl City is also urgently preparing for liftoff. These two floating cities have become the safest places to be in the event of a natural disaster. But in the land of the Eastern Kingdom, the human population is more than 3 million. How many survivors can they hold?

It didn't take long for Anna to find that opposition to refuge and a direct confrontation with the Burning Legion on the continent of Lordaeron had gradually gained the upper hand. She found herself completely unable to convince these people, and even Dai Lin was not in favor of a direct retreat.

And just then, the proclamation of Akmund's advent reached their ears.

Everyone looked around in a panic and looked frightened. There was a brief silence in the room. That's when they realized the horror of Akmund.

Until Terenus's bitter voice rang out: "Let's move some people to Kalimdor first." Leave the spark for the Union. We had to do it. ”

"Dalaran can accommodate up to 200,000 people." Anthony Das Road. Dalaran itself has 200,000 aborigines, and this doubling of the name and the additional supplies that need to be supplied is the limit of Dalaran.

"Pearl City can also accommodate 600,000 people." Kyle's indifferent voice rang out, "We're going to take off to Kalimdor. ”

Her words immediately attracted a lot of attention. 600,000 people - all the ships of the alliance could not transport so many people in one trip. That's definitely a remarkable amount! Actually, when the Burning Legion hits here. Most people have no way out.

These 600,000 places are as timely as sending charcoal in the snow.

After nine months of construction, Pearl City has expanded tenfold in its original area. It is now actually the largest city in Lordaeron, a bit larger than the current first city in Azeroth, the city of Lordaeron. And because there are many high-rise buildings. Therefore, it can accommodate twice the population of the royal city of Lordaeron. Unfortunately, only the first and second phases of the building will be able to lift off at the moment. This is the limit that the Pearl City Floating Circle can withstand.

The construction of the floating circle has not yet been completed under the third phase building, which is equivalent to the sum of the first phase and the second phase combined. Even if it could be done, it wouldn't have enough energy to lift it off. Otherwise, Pearl City will be able to carry more than a million people. That would definitely go a long way in easing the pressure of migrating to the New World.

After the meeting, Sal was the first to leave. He hurried back to Hammertown at full speed and mobilized all the orcs to leave. Orcs must also migrate to Kalimdor. As for the original Northrend - let's wait until the Burning Legion is defeated!

The solemn-looking leaders also left the conference room one after another.

Kyle finds Antonidas and recalls summoning Jiang Weihan. This time, the archmage did not refuse, and he smiled bitterly, "The current situation is really a mess. Maybe ginger's wisdom can help us—I'm just now discovering it. He's really important. Look at us now, we're like a bunch of headless flies. ”

Kyle said, "The Valoran Federation needs him more. ”

"Hopefully it will work out. I'm going to gather the men! Antonidas took his leave. Activate the teleport to Dalaran.

Anna is still here. She didn't have too much to say about Jiang Weihan in her impression. In fact, they only met for the moment of the decisive battle on the Frozen Throne - still as enemies. However, this man made a deep impression on him - it was an unimaginable feat to be able to fight the Bronze Dragon King with the power of the Titans with his mortal body!

"Him. I mean, Your Excellency Jiang Weihan, is it also a person who has crossed the timeline? Anna asked Kyle.

In her opinion, this Jiang Weihan's appearance is undoubtedly similar to her. She didn't find the slightest impression of the man in her memories. There are no such strange names among the humans of Azeroth.

So Anna guessed that Jiang Weihan should have come from a later era than her, and under the influence of some time force, he traveled to a point in time that was even earlier, before the outbreak of the natural disaster.

Anna thought, 'Maybe he'll know what's going on behind my plane.' ’

In fact, her guess was very close to the real answer.

Kyle replied, "His identity is much more complicated than that. ”

――

These days, Jiang Weihan has made it clear: this is the earth, but not his original hometown. He was not needed here, as if he had never existed in this world before.

It was Valoran, Azeroth, who needed him, the high expectations of countless people.

"I'll find my way back."

Jiang Weihan turned his hand and took out the Eye of Sargeras. This gem may have been the key to his departure from this alternate space on Earth and his return to Azeroth.

Just wait until the next time Kyle unleashes the summoning circle, allowing him to determine the coordinates of Azeroth's plane, he can validate his idea.

And before that, he was not without anything to do: since he was on Earth and had decided to return to Azeroth, how could he not bring a little "local product" of Earth? (To be continued)
