Volume IV Reign of Chaos 270 Before the decisive battle
In fact, Akmund could have obtained that supreme power, and once he obtained it, he might even be able to match the Lord of the Burning Legion, but such a low-hanging opportunity was still disqualified by him. This has to show a problem, compared to the Dreaded Demon King, this guy has a huge flaw by nature, not only too proud. It's okay to change the word, it's called ...... Arrogant.
If it's just arrogance, it's nothing, and there is a very serious point that his IQ is not high. If it had been Kilgardan the Fraudster who had descended into the world, then I think the outcome might have been very different. Now that I think about it, my assessment of Akmund is one word, reckless, stupid reckless.
It may also be because this guy does have strength, he really doesn't care about any living beings in this world, even if they were defeated 10,000 years ago. Maybe in his eyes we are no different from bed bugs, but it is precisely these humble lives that end him completely.
From summoning a handful of demons to a large army of sizes, this guy's ambition and desire began to swell so much that he might have thought it was as easy as digging for something.
According to Salufar, the line of defense set up by the elven army is the last line of defense for the World Tree, and the human army has also joined the defense of this line, but the main task of the human army is still the same as the previous one.
That is, first of all, you can help the tribe first, and if the tribe is finished, retreat to the second line of defense and continue to exert residual heat. Hmph, if the first line of defense is really over, few of these people will have a chance to retreat to the rear. Because as the leader and guarantor of the alliance between the tribe and the elves, Gianna staked her head at that time.
In order to show their sincerity, the tribal army did take the initiative to take on the task of the first line of defense. According to him, this task is simply a suicidal act, of course, as an alien race, when this kind of thing happens, it is a knife to stretch out and shrink the head, and there may be a glimmer of life if you fight hard, and if you win, then you may have such a friendly and peaceful bargaining chip with this opponent who is still torn in front of you. But that's only the bright side, and if they lose in the end, the best thing for the tribe is to bless them for not catching up before their people board the ship to flee again.
And then the two armies did start an unusually tragic fight, to what extent? It can be said that the battle left the tribe powerless against the elves for ten years, and I mean if the two sides clash again.
As the first line of defense, the elves are actually under a lot of pressure, and the first line of defense will reduce the pressure of the second line of defense to a certain extent, but on the question of whether the first line of defense can be defended, I actually feel that they may not be able to fully trust them.
Although Lady Gianna came forward to make a guarantee and put her own head on the line, promising that if the front line was passive and the defeat without a fight did not play the defensive role it should have, she was willing to use her own head as a guarantee, but the elves still sent four regiments of troops to cooperate with the battle. It's not just about overseeing wars.
Sarufar said that before the battle, the great chieftain mobilized them, and before the battle, the crowd was angry and morale was high, and the look of death really made people feel that the battle would be won, but the fierceness of the battle was completely beyond their expectations. Not only is the number of demons terrifying, but the tribal alliance with a few strange forces planted by demons is simply out of breath.
Do you understand what I mean by that?
If Akmund hadn't been so arrogant that he didn't take the coalition forces seriously at all, and hadn't been in a hurry to scratch his liver and be in a hurry, and finally he couldn't hold back and only led part of the army to go deep alone, he would have won the battle as he had fought steadily.
It wasn't a ploy, there was no ploy at all, it was purely Akmund's own death and the luck of the elves. Of course, I won't tell you how useful the Alsace army would be if they appeared on the battlefield, but in the end, they really only worked and did not contribute.
Where am I?
Ha! You may not believe it, but there I am. Underneath the World Tree.
I got rid of the scouts and hurried in the direction of the tree, and I would never leave them behind if the magic eye I found on the way could be removed, but my whereabouts were definitely exposed. So I've got to hurry, faster! I'm going to reach my goal and get out of the way before they find me.
This matter is now a matter of one sentence, but the situation at that time was very complicated. The more you move towards that tree, the more you can feel the tremendous energy emanating from that tree, or the land.
How do you explain this feeling?
Have you ever arrived at a place and been shocked or unconsciously filled with a kind of awe, a kind of ...... Indescribable feeling. Can you understand what I'm saying?
But the surroundings of that tree not only shocked me, but also a sense of power that my body unconsciously generated. Even though I have not touched the water of the Well of Eternity, the tree has transmitted this energy through itself, affecting all living beings around it.
I've experienced what it's like to be physically attached, and that physical pleasure surpasses all other ways to make the body comfortable. No exaggeration! I don't know how other people feel when they get external energy, but my own feelings are indescribable...... Comfortable, that inner satisfaction is also unprecedented. Do you remember when I touched the blood of Manolos? It's even more comfortable than that.
But I'm not the kind of person who craves power, and the side effects of this addictive gadget aren't ordinary.
Of course, this place is not only pleasant, but also has a kind of ...... that cannot be matched anywhere else Endless.
Wish.
Yes, it's hope, I can feel that budding, erecting, endless hope! It's a feeling I haven't experienced even now. Perhaps that's why the World Tree exists.
The tree didn't just stand there alone, it grew in a special place, on a small hill, I don't know what method Illidan used back then, or what he thought about running to that kind of place to create a new Well of Eternity, how that kind of place is suitable for making wells!
Yes? ...... caused by large trees Then you have a richer imagination than me, how can a big tree make the soil uplift! It was clear that the hill had formed, and on top of that hill was the tree.
You haven't seen the tree, eh...... You don't seem to have a chance to see it anymore. The tree was really big, and I felt that the ordinary tree was just a small grass in front of him, and it might not be as good as the grass. How many meters in diameter? Oh, I don't know, anyway, when I approached I just felt like it was Optimus Prime. There's their camp under the trees, but there's something interesting...... You know there's a class of druids among their elves, I told you. Those druids are like ...... Rat. Yes, rats or something, although they can transform into bears, tigers and leopards and other things, but this kind of profession does not build dwellings, and of course they do not become birds to fly up the branches and make nests in trees, their favorite place is to hide underground.
They would sleep in the caverns underground, and they would sleep all the time, which they called the practice of dreams. How could there be no druid's den in such a place, and if there was, there might be a den that would be connected to the base of the World Tree. And the tree is said to be covered with the Well of Eternity. If you can really find the Well of Eternity through the beast's den...... That's really not in vain.
Ha! My heart is like a mirror.
Because the tree was so big, it wasn't a problem to sneak around it, and I wandered around the tree for a long time only to see their garrison camp but not find the den.
Druids are actually very particular about their dens. Don't look at them sleeping underground, it's a mud hole, they will decorate the door of the beast's den very seriously. Some of the more advanced druids' dens have very artistic faces.
Ah, this is what I heard others say, I don't guarantee if it's true or not.
But when we attacked the den in Fylewood Forest, it was really good. I really didn't believe that there were no dens here, so I squatted outside a camp to watch their movements, and the camp was actually quite large, looking like it had six or seven thousand people. And when I walked around close to the tree, I noticed a little suspicious, but I found no trace of the den.
Actually, there is a beast's den here, just behind the camp, wrapped in the camp, and the beast's den is not decorated. I took a gamble at the time, I really wanted to go over and see what was going on, but it was absolutely impossible at this moment.
So I wandered around the tree for three days, and on the fourth day the opportunity crept in!
The Burning Legion didn't reach the tree, but the camp was already fully deployed, in fact, by that time the Horde Alliance had already been defeated. I used to want to climb to the top of the tree to see what it was, but when I looked up at the tree, I only had the feeling that I might never get down again.
Speaking of this, I suddenly had a good idea, if I could go to Hyjal again one day, I would definitely find a way to climb it and see it.
When I saw the troops in the camp marching out I knew the time had come, but I was not sure that there were any druids left behind in the den.
I lurked into the camp, which was now empty except for the tents and the extinguished campfires. But I'm still very cautious, as the saying goes, be careful and sail the ship of ten thousand years. And when I came to the den, which was sheltered by two tents at the back of the camp, I didn't hesitate to go inside.
The cave didn't smell moldy, it didn't feel damp, it even had a faint aroma. I pulled out the weapon from my waist and slowly rubbed it against the wall, picking up my pace as I sensed by sound that there should be no one inside.
At first, the place was not stunned, but kept spiraling, and this spiral was not a big bend but a small bend. At first I remember it, but when I was going around like this, I felt like I was in a trance. That's what it feels like...... All of a sudden my brain lost consciousness, and then for the shortest time my eyes went black, but immediately I could see again.
But when I woke up, I had forgotten how many times I had turned, and I was a little confused about where I should go. I put my hands on the wall and slowly fell to my knees, telling myself to be calm, and after a period of adjustment, I suddenly felt like I understood where I was going.
The Beast's Den' was so to speak, that I had walked so far that everything in it felt almost identical, and I even remembered the corridor where I was looking for Antonidas in Dalaran.
But as I walked on, I suddenly felt a dizziness in my head, and the world was spinning. It was the first time since I became a member of the Legion of the Dead that I knew that a dead person would get dizzy. I lost my direction again. So much so that I felt like I was walking all the time, but I couldn't get out, and even I felt like I couldn't figure it out when I was going uphill and downhill.
Until the earth shook suddenly.
I really...... I'm glad I'm here.
