606. Confession

Speaking of Loken, when dealing with the other Guardians, Lorcan has been wary of Rai, the Guardian at the southern end of Kalimdor, believing that the latter will inevitably return to Aldua to investigate the riots here. But to his surprise, the Great Guardian did not respond to any of the events that could have changed the situation in the world at Odua.

It was not for nothing that he was so vigilant, as the Grand Guardian Lydon, who was in charge of the heart of the Fairview Valley and the Azeroth Reconstruct Device in Uldem, was the highest of all the Guardians, and "Lydon" was the honorific title given to him by his servants. After receiving the fragment of the soul of Al-Mansur, the father of the gods, and being the first to learn of the fact that the Titans of the Pantheon had died, and preserving the fragment of Al-Mansur's soul, Lydon fell into a depression and no longer cared about the Mogu and anything in the mortal world. Many years later, Thor accidentally found and defeated Leyden, who had completely lost his ideas and fighting spirit, and Thor took his power away and imprisoned him under the secret chamber of Thor's palace.

This is the real reason why the foot men faced Lydon, and it was unimaginable that the powerful Titan Guardians would be imprisoned by their own creations.

Of course, this is another story, in fact, after not discovering any of Lydon's actions, Lorcan could not resist his curiosity and sent an army delegation to Oldum to find out Lay's movements. The forces were unable to find the Great Guardian, but they inquired from the local Titans such as Mogu, Torville, and Anubisas that Rai had mysteriously disappeared.

No one knew at the time that this historic southbound meeting would have a lasting impact on Azeroth. On the way south, Lorcan's army unwittingly transmitted the Flesh Curse to many of Rai's dependents.

Unbeknownst to Lorcan and the other Titans, Guardian Rai has undergone an apocalypse...... The horrific sight left him in self-isolation. As the power and memories of the Pantheon poured into the Guardians' bodies, Rai was as confused as his siblings. However, as time passed, he concluded that all this was anything but an anomaly: it was the remnants of the spirits of the gods that entered them.

Overwhelmed by the fall of the Pantheon, Rai extracted the remnants of Almansur's power from his body and preserved it in a treasure trove in the mountains. The Great Guardian hopes to preserve the last fragments of his beloved Creator. The site of this treasure house is close to the mysterious valley that later became known as the Valley of Fairlight.

Rai sealed himself in a dungeon, pondering day and night the revelations he had received. After the Great Guardian disappeared, his Titan Creators gradually developed their own new culture, which was very different from that of their northern relatives. Most of the Thornvilles gathered around Uldem, making the fortress their home. The Anubisas in the West, on the other hand, continued to fulfill their sacred duty as guardians of Cthun. Correspondingly, the Mogu of the East guards the Titan Treasury and the Mechanical Cluster buried underground.

In the years following Loken's betrayal, the Titans exiled by Odua spread more and more across the northern shores of Kalimdor. The hulking giants gradually moved into the mountains and seas, and it was difficult to see them again; The Earth Spirits dug into the depths of the world, fighting for territory with a group of brutal alien creatures, known as cavemen; The Viku are still largely on the ground and have gradually divided into several small tribes, some of which live a nomadic life in the harsh northlands, while others have settled in the greens of the tundra.

There is still a fragile peace bond between the races of these Titans, but it will not last long. Several powerful forces have moved into the lands that the Guardians have been protecting, intending to bring them all under their control. Two of them are the creations of the Lorcan lineage, the savage fire giants Wokan and Ignis.

Wokan and Ignis see the stormy mountains that surround Aldua as a land to be conquered. However, to pack it in, all they needed was an army. At this point, they set their sights on the ferocious Viku clan, the Winter Shoe Clan.

Despite their belligerent nature, they mostly try to avoid head-to-head encounters. The Winter Walkers, however, are an exception - with the desire to one day ascend to Valhalla, they even have a culture that worships violence and warfare. Whether it's a civil war in a clan or a battle with other Titans, any strife will make them stronger.

Wokan and Ignis forcibly take over the Winter Shoe Clan, igniting their thirst for war. The giants then further strengthened the metal-skinned Vekus with enchanted armor, while Wokan and Ignis created powerful weapons for them to shatter the steel or rock skins of Titans.

However, while the newly formed army was gearing up for its greatest ambitions, something strange happened to the Winterwalkers—the metallic skin of the Viku became weak, which was the first symptom of the Flesh Curse.

Despite their defeats, Wokan and Ignis had no intention of giving up. Realizing that they could not win with the Winter Clan alone, Wokan and Ignis built a large number of molten golems and steel structures to augment their ranks.

The iron hooves of this winter army were first set foot on the kind earth spirits. They ravaged the underground dwellings of the Earth Spirits, and the unprepared Earth Spirits were powerless to resist this overwhelming and well-organized army. There was not a single living hole left in the crypt, and only a small group of survivors escaped the attack and sought the help of Tyr, Azadas, and Aronnaya to escape Loken's wrath.

Enraged, Tyr led his companions to the Earthlings' underground dwellings in an attempt to aid the beleaguered Titans. Tyr himself led the bravest of the earth spirits into battle, while Azadas and Aronnaya built fortifications to ward off future attacks. Eventually, the Earth Spirit and his allies were able to defeat the Winterwalkers once and for all.

However, even if their conquest of the Stormy Mountains failed, Wokan and Ignis refused to give up. They returned to their scorching furnace and created a new army—even greater than the original.

However, the golems and constructs alone were no longer enough for them, and they went on to create enchanted lassoes to enslave the dragons in droves. These creatures are not used as mounts, but as beasts of war; And the giants have equipped these winged beasts with fiery armaments, hoping to terrify the earth spirits.

The Winterwalkers' ensuing attack shattered the Earth Spirits' defenses, causing their last refuge to disappear; They scattered and fled into the frozen mountain roads, but they still could not escape from the clutches of their enemies. Numerous Veku and golems hunted down on the ground, while the Dragons attacked from the air, and even Tyr, Azadas, and Aronnaya had to flee in the face of Winter Shoes' rage.

Knowing that he could not defeat the Winterwalkers alone, Tyr called on the five guardian dragons for help. The noble dragon kings were furious at the sight of the corpse-strewn Titans, and when they learned that even the Yuan Dragons had been enslaved, the anger became even more uncontrollable. So, the dragon kings flapped their wings and flew into battle, pouring all their power on the winter steel soldiers.

As in the Great War of Galakon, the five dragon kings worked together to slay the Viku army to the ground: Alexitasa erected a wall of fire and demons, leaving the Winterwalkers with no way to escape; Malygos drained all the magical essences that drove the constructs and golems, reducing them to useless waste, and shattered the enchanted lassoes that bound the dragons, who were freed; The mountains rose from the ground under Nesario's men, besieging the Viku people and their giant masters, from which there was no escape; Eventually, Ysera and Nozdorm combined their powers and used their spells to put an end to the conflict.

Ysera and Nozdorm enveloped the Winterwalkers in a thick mist, putting them to sleep, and locked the Titans, who were no longer capable of making waves, in the midst of the tombs on the northern shore of Kalimdor. The quiet sleep of the Emerald Dream has nothing to do with them; What they had to endure was countless years spent in a never-ending unconscious.

And over the next millennia, the Flesh Curse will further distort these dormant Winter Walkers. And by the time they wake up, almost all of them will find that their bodies have degenerated into the flesh and blood of ordinary people.

As for Tyr, after completing his help to the Earth Spirits and sealing the Winterwikus, he turned to Locan. As a result, a great battle broke out that allowed Tyre to die directly. And the curse of flesh and blood, which has spread, began to corrupt the other Viku, and the women of the Viku began to give birth to a weak, thin offspring...... There is no doubt that this is the human race of the future.

In other words, in fact, all human ancestors were created by Titans. In this way, the history of mankind can be traced back even before trolls. Because trolls also happened to be born in the hinterland of Kalimdor at that time.

Of course, it makes no sense to talk about these things now, no matter who is born for a longer time, in the final analysis, it depends on strength. Otherwise, Sargeras would not have slain the Pantheon, and an Asuman would have existed long enough.

Looking at the continent of Pandaria, the northernmost part of the Kunlai Mountain region in the north, Zhuojin Village, a small fishing village with no name, has undoubtedly become an important place that can lead to changes in the whole world in the future.

When Duten repelled the invasion of the trolls, the panda people were wary of him, but after the vigilance was removed, they erupted with great enthusiasm. The Panda people are a hospitable race, and they like to invite people they know and don't know to their estates for food and wine. Not to mention that the humans led by Du Teng were still the great benefactors who rescued them, after all, the panda people were not prophets, of course they didn't know that even if Du Teng and the others didn't come, they wouldn't be destroyed.

But now the fact is that Duten and Gilneys's soldiers saved the panda people, and that's an ironclad fact.

So panda people, very grateful for this.

Not only Du Teng and the soldiers who directly participated in the battle were invited to the battlefield, but even the soldiers who guarded the ships were also invited, but they could not leave the fleet because of the heavy responsibilities they had on their shoulders.

Therefore, the panda people prepared a large number of delicacies and sent them to them, and I have to say that the food of the panda people has many similarities with the food of China, and it is more in line with Qianyu's preferences than pure Western food. The soldiers under his command were also attracted by the food...... And fine wine.

Seeing that everyone was swallowing their saliva, Du Teng smiled and agreed that they should make an exception and drink less, after all, they are still in the process of traveling far away, and maintaining absolute sobriety is the most important thing.

With the wine, the human soldiers ate more happily, and the wine brewed by the panda people was not only higher in strength, but also crystal clear, and it was much more powerful than ordinary ale wine. At first, everyone may not be used to it, but soon, these soldiers get used to the power of Pandaren's wine, so they ...... In the end, after this meal, less than half of the soldiers who were still awake and did not get drunk were already in their senses.

This also made Du Teng a little unhappy, and he tossed his subordinates hard for this, and that was all after that.

And now, because he is the commander of the human race, he sits on the main seat, accompanied by the village chief of Zhuojin Village, the reinforcements from the White Tiger Temple, and other high-ranking officials of Zhuojin Village.

Of course, there was more than one reinforcement coming down from the White Tiger Temple, but being able to sit here was undoubtedly a task similar to that of a captain.

This is a panda man with brown and white hair, named Li Shuiyun, a very feminine name, but it is indeed an uncle, and it is said that Shuiyun is the name given to him by his master, so even if it is slightly inconsistent with his gender, he still accepts it peacefully.

Needless to say, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone began to talk.

"I don't know what happened here when His Highness Lim came here?"

Although he had already said it before, he had sent an emissary to say it, and the captain was still fighting the trolls on the other side of the village at that time, so he really didn't know much about these things. Now that he finally asked, it can be regarded as giving Du Teng a chance to speak in person.

Du Teng smiled when he heard this, took a sip of wine, and then gently lowered the wine glass.

"Since the explosion of the Well of Eternity, all of Azeroth has fallen apart. Then the Horde invaded, the Burning Legion invaded, and now, the second invasion of the Burning Legion has been repelled by us. But you should be well aware that the tribes, as outsiders, will never be tolerated by the nations of the human race. So the orcs established a powerful tribe in the western continent of Kalimdor. Bring under his command the Minotaurs of Mogore, the Boar People of the Barrens, and the outcast Trolls of the Dark Spear.

On the other side, the human kingdom is not to be outdone, initially, with me as the core, we established an alliance, but I was faced with a problem, that is, between the night elves and the high elves, I had to choose one side as an ally. To be honest, I don't want to give up the High Elves' mage legion, and they're too close to Gilneth, so I can only give up the Night Elves, and because of this, it's equivalent to giving up the entire alliance.

On one side is the alliance, on the other side is the tribe, no matter which side, I definitely don't want to see such a variable as Gilneth exist, so I need to build an alliance that can compete with these two sides, and now, the High Elves have agreed to form an alliance with me, and the human kingdom of Kul Tiras, as the most powerful sea power in Azeroth, will also become my ally, so I also need an ally now that can have a large population and provide strong combat power.

We never take the initiative to invade others, but we are not afraid of others to invade, panda people, undoubtedly my best choice! ”

Du Teng smiled and said something that made the panda people at the table frown.
