Chapter 1782 Pulling Out the Nail (Part 1)
Just like history, Twilight Fortress will definitely be the fault of the Alliance. After all, this fortress is too close to the dwarven Loch Modan. This fortress, which was supposed to be on the Twilight Highlands, is less than 300 kilometers away from the eastern border of Loch Modan in a straight line.
However, before the Cataclysm, the entire Twilight Highlands was protected by the evil power of N'Zoth and hidden behind a series of towering mountains.
Although Duke knew where the Twilight Highlands was early on, before the catastrophe, the Twilight Highlands was a wasteland with an average altitude of more than four thousand meters, thin air, and nothing.
I don’t know if the Alliance’s blow to the Twilight Sect was too severe, or if after the cataclysm, the condition of the plateau that was supposed to be the Twilight Highlands was not as expected. Anyway, after Duke sent Brian and Kael'thas to lead a large force to eliminate the Twilight believers in Grim Batol Fortress with thunderous force, the Twilight Highlands became different from history.
This place is still filled with all kinds of smells of death and mutations in the earth's crust.
But there are no Twilight believers.
It was a bit of a waste to have the plateau mountain warfare troops specially trained by Duke for this purpose. Fighting in plateau mountains is different from fighting on ordinary plains at low altitudes.
The altitude is high and the air is thin.
Boiling water originally boiled at 100 degrees Celsius cannot be boiled in plateau areas. If we still use the old steam-driven flying battleships, they will definitely fall from the sky one by one, destroying the ship and killing everyone.
Not only the ordnance needs to be redesigned and relocated, but people as well.
Before Duke's crossing, people from China traveled to plateau areas every year and died of altitude sickness due to their inability to withstand it.
It wasn't until something happened in the Barrens that Duke learned that all the Twilight believers had gone to the tribe to cause trouble.
"Hahahaha!" Duke suddenly felt refreshed.
In a sense, Cataclysm becomes like a preview of Legion.
It is no longer possible to concentrate all the troops and strong men to attack like before. However, most of the powerful enemies in the Cataclysm were within the control of the current alliance. Even if he had been prepared, Duke was still quite nervous.
Especially at several points in the hinterland of the Eastern Kingdom continent.
It took Duke ten years to make Lordaeron and the southern continent look like iron barrels, and he didn't want the situation he had worked so hard to create to be ruined.
According to the original history, the southern continent suffered the most. Next to the wetlands on the dwarven side is Grim Batol, and east of Loch Modan is Twilight Keep.
Originally, the place in Blackstone Mountain would be Blackstone Grotto and Blackwing Blood Circle.
And the outlying island Zar-Balad in the sea southwest of Gilneas is even more plagued by the scourge of the Baradin Prison.
It's just kind of funny now.
The Twilight Fortress, which was originally the most difficult to deal with, actually went to the tribe. You must know that the boss of the Twilight Fortress is Onyxia and her mother Sinestra. According to players' evaluations, she is more difficult to deal with than Deathwing.
Let her harm the tribe. The tribe will do it anyway. At least Duke does not need Onyxia to face the tragedy of family ethics again.
As for the Palatine Prison...you can't even call it a prison!
Could it be that if Duke knew about this thing early on, he could still let the prisoners inside cause trouble?
After the Second Battle of the Dark Portal, the Baladin Fortress on the outlying island was converted into a prison to house Azeroth's most feared prisoners. The first people imprisoned that year were several injured Gronns, as well as a large number of ogres and tribal wolves. Its purpose is research.
In the third war, when Archimonde led the main force of the Burning Legion to cross the Endless Sea westward and went to Mount Hyjal to cause trouble. In fact, there are still a large number of demons wandering around destroying and killing aimlessly.
After the Alliance organized an elite army to exterminate these demons, the wizards of the Kirin Tor left some demons behind, also for research purposes. Duke also agreed to this at that time.
Although he understands the characteristics of demons relatively well, what if the demons are different from those in history and have various deviations?
Nothing is as convincing as first-hand experimental data.
The Kirin Tor mages built an extremely tight magical imprisonment system in the prison, so that these demons who were not as strong as the Void Lord had no chance of escaping.
However, the devastating impact of the cataclysm is destined to cause damage to the prison's defense system. After the Lich King's War in Northrend ended, Duke immediately visited the Palatine Prison.
It happened that the three targets who were supposed to run out to cause trouble during the Cataclysm were secretly promoted to low-level void lords.
First, under the suppression of the prison's powerful magic circle, their strength was not even half of its peak.
Secondly, they all hide their strength very well.
But how could they hide it from Duke?
Duke gave an order, saying that he found out that some prisoners were trying to cause trouble, and immediately a large number of league rookies were transferred here to train.
Mara Fordragon, Lyanna Stormpike, dwarf paladin Crom *Hammer of the Dawn, troublemaker dwarf mage Milhouse*Manastorm, archmage Ouniat, great conjurer Mimic, Hunter Lenora…
In the presence of Duke, Queen Xi, and Magni, who had not yet turned into a diamond at that time, the abyss lord Algarros and the two-headed demon dog Okutar were killed after a fierce battle.
Of course, the soul cannot escape.
Lord Duke, the former void lord, played Soul Annihilation for the first time in a long time, leaving the Eredar twins who transformed into elf mage girls and hid their heads and faces in their hoods silent for a long time.
Only the Queen of Hatred Alizabal, who was of the same race as Mother Shahras and belonged to Xivalra, was left behind.
Duke conducted a small experiment. He used the same tactics he used to deal with Onyxia to deal with the Queen of Hatred for the first time in a long time.
The driving force behind hatred is cynicism or the arrogance of looking down on lower creatures.
Duke taught this six-armed, murderous female demon a lesson - what is endless reincarnation torture.
In the illusion specially created for her by the system, Alyssa Barr was first asked by Duke's illusion, "Will you surrender?"
After receiving a negative reply, or being silent for more than three seconds, the next step is to go straight to the next step - countless Qiraji rush out and eat Alizabal alive one by one, who cannot resist.
It was the most cruel devouring, and the huge mouthparts did not shy away from the devil's poisonous blood.
Alizabal could clearly feel how the sharp and rough mouthparts slowly tore off her own flesh and blood. The bones of his six arms were chewed to pieces, and the touch from his ears and the resonance of his bones and flesh were equally clear.
She screamed and struggled, but found that she couldn't resist at all. She could only watch in despair and fear as the big bug tore out her intestines and swallowed them section by section.
