Chapter 734: The Shadow Realm's Secret Intervention
All along, the Temple of Dragon's Sleep has always adhered to the red line that Odin drew against the dragons in anger, and has never marched into the Storm Cliffs.
It is for this reason that Lorcan has the courage to make waves on the Storm Cliffs.
As long as the dragons don't break their oath for a day, Lorcan can continue to reign supreme in Ulduar's territory.
A few years ago, when Sarren informed the Dragons of Lorcan's betrayal of Azeroth, Alexassa hesitated to break his oath and enter the Stormcrags.
However, Lorcan is equipped with the Creator Engine and the Forge of Will, and has the ability to produce infinite riots with one click.
Although the dragon clan is powerful, it is obviously not a wise decision to use flesh and blood to smash those cheaply produced Titan creations.
Sarjan is half of the dragon bloodline, and he will often think from the dragon's standpoint, and he doesn't want the dragon's precious combat power to be wasted in this kind of place.
Just like the barrage said, use the Titan Creation to defeat the Titan Creation.
That's why Saljan took great pains to travel the world in search of the Naraksha Engine and the Forge of Origin, in order to gain the ability to compete with Lorcan.
Due to some objective reasons, the production capacity of the Naraksha engine is not comparable to that of the Creator engine, and the new factory Titan Creation, which was secretly transported from Pandalia to Northrend, is still accumulating.
Although Loken's Iron Army had fought the High Elves and the Dhakarai Trolls in the past few years, that loss was not painful at all for Locan, who could continue to replenish his forces.
As long as Ulduar still has enough metal ore, Lorcan will be able to continue producing Iron Dwarves and Iron Viku.
Compared to Locan, the Titan artifacts created by the Naraksha Engine are stone structures that are cheaper to build.
Including the Titans of the Pantheon, the Titans have different body structures and can be classified into two categories: stone and metal.
For example, Almansur, the father of the gods, and Ionar, the mother of life, had stone and bronze bodies respectively, and they also had a very miraculous son, Gogonais, the Angry Drinker, who ruled the sky and the sea.
Sarren still hasn't figured out how Stone and Bronze mated to the Platinum Titan's descendants, and can only attribute it to the omnipotent Arcane at the Titan's hands.
There is no superiority between the Metal Titan and the Rock Titan, except that the focus of their abilities is different.
This discrepancy also affects the Titan Creations produced by the Titan Guardians they created, and even by the Titan Guardians.
To put it simply, the Metal Titans are more likely to wield the power of destruction and are usually better at fighting.
The bronze Titans, Sargeras and Agrama are among them.
The Rock Titans, on the other hand, are generally well-versed in the power of shaping, and have a unique talent for construction and research.
Almansur, the father of the gods, Kazgros the Shaper, and Nogannon the Dream Weaver are all typical representatives of the Rock Titans.
The Titans' differences in rock and metal carry over to their secondary creations, such as the Earth Spirits, who wield the power of the earth, are good at building, and the Iron Dwarves, who wield the power of storms, are even better at destruction.
Lorcan still ignores the repossession of the Naraksha Engine, as the continent of Pandaria is still shrouded in fog and has little contact with the outside world.
Mind you, it's almost.
A month ago, Salian had also received a secret letter from Lord Bode Linyu of Sandara, describing the development of Lake Donghuo and the hoarding of Titan creations secretly transported by the Ancestral Turtles.
As more and more Titan artifacts were brought in from Pandaria, the buildings that Winterhug Lake used to house them began to run out of place.
In order to prevent these Titan creations from being exposed to Lorcan's discovery, Bode Linyu applied to Sarren, hoping that he could personally visit Northrend and find a way to take down the Winterhug Lake Titan Treasury, which has been closed until now.
It was because of the low profile of these Tyta creations that Lorcan could continue to play and dance, and did not feel the threat of imminent delay.
However, Lorcan is not stupid, and the movement of the Origin Forge restarting is enough to cause him to be vigilant.
However, all the men sent by Lorcan to Odam to reconnoiter were killed by the Tovirs.
No matter how many scouts he sent, it was like a stone in the sea, unable to send back any useful information.
Odum is far southernmost on the continent of Kalimdor, too far away from the Storm Cliffs in the Arctic.
Locken, who had a ghost in his heart, did not dare to go to Uldam to check on the situation in person, but sending some miscellaneous soldiers over could not solve the problem.
Lorcan had been worrying about this for the past two years, and he even suspected that the Great Guardian had finally returned after tens of thousands of years.
Then subsequent developments did not fulfill Lorcan's worst guess.
Although the Origin Forge has resumed operation, the Titan Creations that guard the Origin Forge have not expanded to the outside world, and the Origin Hall remains calm.
Lai Deng, who was thought to have awakened, has never appeared in the area of Lorcan's intelligence network, and the restart of the Origin Forge does not seem to have brought about any fundamental changes compared to before.
There weren't enough threats from the outside, and the fearless Lorcan and Yogsaron made a fuss at the door of their lair.
They deliberately sat back and watched the Scourge grow step by step, and even wanted to take advantage of the Scourge Legion's attack on Eldronerub to get a piece of the pie and continue to grow the number of the Fallen.
It's a pity that due to the sudden intervention of Salian and others, Yugsaron and Lorken's plan was just a pipe in the end.
In the words of the barrage, this is called losing the lady and breaking the army, not only did not get the benefits, but spit out what should have belonged to him.
Of course, with the current situation of Eldronerub fighting on two fronts, they will not have the strength to attack Ankahet and enjoy the fruits of victory until they repel the attack of the undead Scourge, but this is only a matter of time.
Onexia's "torture" also revealed an important piece of information.
The Faceling's memory remains with an image of a mysterious black-robed man who met him in Lorcan's Lightning Hall, and the two talked privately about working together.
At that time, the Faceless One was hiding in the shadows waiting for Loken's orders, and once the two sides broke down, it would jump out and kill the mysterious man as soon as possible.
"That mysterious man claims to be a representative of the Shadow Realm?"
After hearing the news from Onexia, Sarren's brow furrowed.
"Yes, at least that's what the Faceless Ones remember."
Having just experienced a thrilling escape battle, and then expending a lot of mental energy to dig up the memories of the Faceless, Onexia was very tired at this time, her eyelids had already begun to fight, and she was about to fall asleep standing up.
Knowing whether it was intentional or not, Onexia, who was swaying from side to side, suddenly leaned forward and leaned into Sarren's arms.
Sarren instinctively wanted to help her up, but considering that Oni had worked hard this time, and that Valera and Stellagosa were not around, he was able to put up his mind and take action.
Heather's hesitation was seen by Hista, but she didn't say anything, just silently jotted it down.
It can be seen from the evenness of Onexia's breathing that she has fallen into a coma, and the action of throwing herself into her arms is only unintentional.
Before going to bed, Onexia dropped a bombshell intelligence bomb on Sarjan, and the preoccupied Sarrian failed to notice that the corners of Oni's mouth, who was already asleep, hooked a subtle arc.
"Representative ...... of the Shadow Realm"
Holding Onyxia and sitting down, Sarjan had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Someone who happens to be in Azeroth right now, and is qualified to negotiate with Lorcan on behalf of the Shadow Realm...... It should only be the group of Dreadlords, right? ”
Ostensibly, the Scourge is the Burning Legion advance force that Kilgardan has placed on Azeroth, intent on destabilizing Azeroth and weakening their defenses.
But even Kilgardan, the fraudster, doesn't know that the Dreadlord has a mind of his own and is not entirely loyal to the Burning Legion.
Through the power of the Helm of Domination and the Frostmourn, the Dreadlord has secretly established a connection with the Shadow Realm.
To be precise, it was the resumption of contact with their master, Denatius the Great, who had been absent for many years.
[Sure enough, this group of big bats is not honest at all, and once they get out of the direct surveillance of the Burning Legion, they will begin to secretly make small moves. 】
[For them, this opportunity has been waiting for a long time, Kil'Gardan sent the Dreadlord to spy on the Lich King belonging to the death side, didn't that put the rat in the rice vat. 】
[Kilgardan: I know everything! 】
[Poof~ I laughed.] 】
The barrage can still joke gracefully, but Sarayan can't laugh at all.
"Denatius the Great and Warden Zovar ......"
Saljan rubbed his brow worriedly, "I don't know how far they plan to intervene in Azeroth, let's wait and see what happens." ”
