Chapter 1131: A Few Families Rejoice, A Few Families Are Sad
After killing Manolos, except for a special individual like Gu Yin'er who had never been contaminated by demonic blood, all the orcs who participated in this demon-slaying battle could feel an inexplicable strange feeling coming from their bodies.
"It's ......"
Blox Sarufar, who was holding Grom with one hand, shook his left fist in surprise.
As a veteran legendary warrior with the best knowledge of his own physical condition, Brooks was the first to discover somatosensory abnormalities.
But if you want to say that the person who feels the deepest, it is Grom Hellroar, who is a little dull after a full blow.
The purification ritual arranged by Medivan before only temporarily suppressed the spiritual effect of the boiling demon blood in Grom's body, and did not lift the curse from the source.
This was evident from Grom's eyes, which were still blood-red.
And now, with Manolos' death, the strange hue in Grom's eyes quickly dissipated, and his clear brown eyes were restored.
At the same time, although his body was still a little weak, Grom could clearly feel that the bloodline curse wrapped around his soul was rapidly dissipating.
"Cursed...... Gone. ”
After struggling to stand still with the help of Brooks, Grom couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
Gu Yin Er couldn't empathize with Grom and Brox, but as the patriarch of the orc clan, he was also sincerely happy for all the clansmen who had escaped the curse of demonic blood.
Grom's hands clenched slightly, his face full of emotion, closed his eyes and looked up at the sky.
"My sins have finally been paid for a little, but ......"
"Hmm." Gu Yiner patted Grom's shoulder comfortingly: "It's not enough, we need to continue to work hard if we want to truly integrate into this new world." ”
While the orcs were busy getting acquainted with the new sensations of the Bloodline Curse being removed, Salaen was greeting Stellagosa, who wasn't supposed to be here at this moment.
Due to the need to operate on multiple fronts at the same time, the Sarjan family is scattered across multiple sites in Azeroth where various events are taking place.
Gianna had recently flown to the continent of Northrend with the city of Dalaran.
With Quel'Thalas' permission, the Floating City of Dalaran is now hovering above a magic net node in the Crystal Song Forest to "recharge" and make final preparations for the upcoming operation.
About half of the members of the Backlight Blade followed Valera to the continent of Kalimdor, where they were scattered to various battlefields to gather information.
In order to provide Salaan with real-time information from all over the world at any time, Valera was by his side most of the time.
In order to ensure that he could have enough combat power to suppress and defeat Manolos, Onexia was called by Sarian from the camp at the foot of Mount Hyjal not long ago, and only Stellagosa remained in the camp as Sarren's agent to coordinate in the center.
If it weren't for the major event of a solo decision, Xiaoxing would never leave his post easily.
Since I saw her unexpectedly here, it means that the situation is already very serious.
Sure enough, Stella Gosa brought two pieces of news to Sarren, one good and one bad.
As is customary, Salian chooses to hear the bad news first.
Stellagossa said with a very solemn expression: "The bad news is that Akmund seems to have felt the death of Manolos and finally doesn't want to pretend anymore. ”
"Shortly after Manolos' death, Akmund changed his previous attitude of drinking tea and watching the theater, and personally destroyed the Woodthroat Fortress, and a large number of Woodthroat Bear Monsters and Night Elf defenders were annihilated by unknown super-sized spells along with the fortress."
Hearing the news, Sarren's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Garrod?" Did he escape in time? ”
Thankfully, Stellagossa nodded in the affirmative, "Garrod has been keeping a close eye on Akmund's movements, and he ordered all the defenders to withdraw from the line before the Polluter's spell was ready. ”
"It's a pity that his order came too late."
"With the help of Mavi's emergency rescue, the Shadow Song siblings escaped from the Woodthroat Fortress before the spell took effect, but ......"
Stella Gossa shook her head and sighed: "Once tens of thousands of defenders are buried, even the powerful Night Republic will inevitably break its bones." ”
It is natural that although the Night Elves are powerful, they have slowly accumulated over the past 10,000 years of recuperation.
The Night Elves don't have a better fertility rate than the High Elves, and it's even worse because of the eternal relationship.
Losing tens of thousands of elites at a time, Malfurion, who learned the news, would definitely have a heartache that he could hardly breathe.
This can be seen in the pale face of Tyrande, who was listening to the report by Sarren's side.
However, after all, Tyrande is an old-timer who has experienced the battle of the ancients, and has a deep understanding of the strength of the polluter, and she has long been mentally prepared for the possible lethality of Akmund.
After a brief loss of consciousness, Tyrande immediately said goodbye to Sarren and the others, and even didn't bother to use Manolos' death to make conditions to the orcs, she wanted to rush back to Andarius immediately to learn more details.
After seeing Tyrande away, Salian sighed softly.
"Fortunately, Garrod finally didn't have an accident, otherwise I really don't know who to take over and command the allied forces of all races to resist the general attack of the Burning Legion."
Since Akmund lost patience and took action in person, it means that the decisive battle of Mount Hyjal is near.
According to Stella Gossa, the Shadow Song siblings, who had been slightly injured, quickly withdrew to the camp built by the Alliance at the foot of Mount Hyjal.
This is the penultimate line of defense against the Burning Legion, and the Night Elves have built two positions halfway up the mountain and one at the top of the mountain.
The Orcs, Minotaurs, and Darkspear Trolls were still basking in the joy of defeating Manolos, but there was no more time left for them to celebrate.
Sarenaghosa had Stellagosa urgently contact all the coalition mages in the camp at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time ordered the unknown Guyiner and others to march the army to the northern part of the Ashen Valley closest to the southern foot of Mount Hyjal.
Normally, it is difficult to transport large armies through teleportation, as the amount of mana required to teleport a large number of men is too large.
Thankfully, due to the proximity, the Night Elves with their backs to the New Well of Eternity can afford this energy.
At this juncture, even the most stubborn Tyrande would not jump out and say that he could not use the power of the New Well of Eternity at will, lest he attract the attention of the Burning Legion.
The Burning Legion is already at hand, and it is clear that it is headed for the new Well of Eternity.
As a matter of urgency, the Night Elves must muster all the forces they can to weaken the Burning Legion's regular forces.
After communicating remotely, Salian and Garrod handed over full command of the Alliance Army to Garrod in the name of the commander of the Kalimdor Expeditionary Force.
After receiving the command, Garrod, who knew that the situation was urgent, immediately began to deploy troops.
The Alliance forces abandoned the camp at the foot of the mountain that had been built for many days, and immediately retreated to the halfway up the hillside defense line that the Night Elves had already built, leaving the camp to the incoming horde army.
After getting rid of the control of demonic blood, the weakness of the orcs from the soul completely disappeared, and their combat power rebounded significantly.
With the ample power provided by the new Well of Eternity, High Elves, Humans, and Children of the Night mages worked overtime to transport armies of Orcs, Darkspear Trolls, and Minotaurs from Ashenvale to the base of the mountain in large numbers.
Next, the Orcs will take over the Alliance-built defensive line as the first line of defense against the Burning Legion's ascent of the mountain.
The armies of the Darkspear Trolls and Minotaurs retreated halfway up the mountain with the Alliance, and they had to familiarize themselves with the fortifications left behind by the Night Elves as soon as possible to defend the second line of defense.
The main army of the Night Elves, led by Malfurion himself, sat at the hilltop camp as the last line of defense against the Burning Legion's attack.
At the same time, Cenarius and the dragons, who had been fishing for OB before, also sped up their actions.
Through the entrance and exit of the dream network in the shade of the Great Tree of the Gray Valley, a large number of dragon elites led by the four dragon kings themselves were transferred from the Emerald Dragon Sanctuary in Northrend.
Dense five-colored dragons soared into the air, their outstretched wings obscuring even the sky of Ashenvale, and hurried to the new Well of Eternity at the base of the Nodashir tree.
"Whew~"
Due to Akmund's sudden attack, Sarren had to speed up the planning process, and it took him a long time before he was finally able to sit down and rest for a while.
Salian rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, smiled bitterly and said to the little star who had been following him with all his might: "Stella, now let's talk about the good news, I hope it is really good news in the literal sense of the word." ”
