Invincible Chapter 559
Ragnaros, the king of fire elements, has existed for a very long time. Before the Titans brought the power of order to the world of Azeroth, the elemental kings commanded the elements, surrendered to the power of the ancient gods, and built Hellish majestic city agglomeration.
Precisely because of such a period of history, the elemental elves bred in the four elements, and the creatures on the surface, seem like enemies but not friends.
After all, from their point of view, the various species that are active now are the lives born after they were defeated and exiled to the inner plane, and their original homes were completely transformed by the technology of the Titan series.
As for the species on the surface, they don't like the elemental elves very much. Once they appear, they always jump out of joy like prisoners in the wind time, and make a mess of the surface environment.
When Kane heard that Nefarian hooked up with Ragnaros, he felt that it was not a good thing.
When the titans left, they left behind five guardian dragons, among them the black dragon Neltharion, the guardian of the earth and mountains.
In a way, it's closest to the Inner Planes where the Banished Elementals reside, and the Cage of the Abyss where the Old Gods are imprisoned.
In the end, Neltharion was indeed driven mad by the thoughts of the Old God for thousands of years. This is something.
In terms of attributes, black dragons have the affinity of earth and fire elements. This is inevitable. After all, the so-called protection of the earth is mainly to suppress the lava and prevent it from overturning the natural system on the surface.
It is precisely because of this that when Neltharion went completely mad, there was a special stage in the original historical line-the fission of the earth. The landform has been profoundly changed. That's still Neltharion's main focus is not on destroying nature, and it will be worse if he concentrates on doing such things.
"Guardians, one or two have all deteriorated due to time, from guards to scourges. The plan to deal with these guys has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible..."
Kane thought silently. From Nefarian, he thought of the black dragon, from the black dragon he thought of the five-color dragon, and then he thought of Loken and other existences in the stormy cliffs of Northrend in the north.
Simple understanding, these are the servants left by the Creation Titans, each of them took care of the elements, and then tens of thousands of years without any progress, the childish one, and finally staged a childish play with a big sword, it is all this routine , One can do better than the other, their consciousness is full of the rotten smell that has lost the motivation to move forward a long time ago, clinging to the incomplete, expressing their ridiculous stupid loyalty, or the three views after sinking in a distorted way.
To deal with these demigod-level existences, the key point is the elements.
Using Kane's own system to analyze,
It is magical, mystical, miraculous matter. This world is generally referred to as 'the essence'.
Take away the 'essence', these guys, even if they want to be monsters, they won't be able to make a big fuss.
For a specific example, you can refer to the late period of the original historical line of the cataclysm. In order to defeat Neltharion, the guardian dragon worked together to create the dragon soul, thus losing most of its magical power and guardian qualifications.
From another perspective, the "essence" is equivalent to the medium that affects the basic laws of the world's composition and operation. With it, things like "unreasonable" and distorted rules can be realized to a certain extent. Without it, even if it is To be strong, you must also jump within the norms of the law, but not surpass it, and there is no such thing as a god-level detachment that surpasses ordinary spellcasters.
Thinking of this, Kane couldn't help touching the little finger of his left hand.
Kane Sun, in the abyss world, used his arm as a sacrifice to create an underground temple for druids. And as Kane Sun, he did not fall into a similar tradition. He sacrificed his left little finger as a container for strange substances.
Over the years, paladins have been fighting violence all over the world, not only to fight monsters, but also to collect a bunch of so-called holy artifacts and mysterious objects.
Kane tried his best to create a common understanding, that is, if these mysterious things of unknown origin are fiddled with, most of them will be harmful and useless, and they will even regret it for life.
The best way to deal with it is to hand it over to professionals. If you don’t have relevant professional knowledge, don’t think about it too much. Just treat it as a high-priced collectible that can get high rewards. .
In order to let people have such a cognition, he specially collected some information records, advising people, do you want to get rich and gain power, or do you want to be down-to-earth and reliable, and get rich overnight? To put it bluntly, are you lucky to live? Whether it's money or power, if you can't control it, you're being played.
In general, Kane has also extracted some extraordinary substances through his tireless collection of antiques over the years. After all, he is a soul. This force, coupled with related technologies, allows him to deal with these extraordinary substances, rather than simply sealing them up.
If there is a seal, it will be unblocked, and sooner or later there will be problems.
So over the years, Kane secretly destroyed many artifacts and sacred objects, and in the end, all of them were concentrated in his left little finger.
From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a kind of compromise for him, so as to establish a certain bond with this world, unlike the main body, who can leave as soon as he says, simply, without any future troubles.
Establishing this fetter relationship involves rights and obligations. Gain the ability to wield some special powers at the cost of assisting with problem solving.
And this has become an important support point for him to upgrade the system technology in leaps and bounds in the open mode. Otherwise, as an outsider, he would be in the embarrassment of developing flame pyrometallurgy technology in the water world. The environment is targeted everywhere, and the result is half the effort.
With certain divine qualities, he naturally paid great attention to existences like him. Guardian dragons, primitive animal gods, guardians of the titans' heritage... In Azeroth, there are still a few demigod-level existences.
Kane's army set out from Arathi, passed through the Hillsbrad foothills, and entered the Silverpine Forest.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about the hilly area. Although there are still some autonomous areas in name, they more or less enjoy the protection of the Falcon Kingdom. It is nothing to excuse such a thing.
It's just that Kane paid more attention to secret work this time, and the troops passed through the area at night. Even so, the phantom still caught a few prying 'eyes'.
Kane attaches great importance to intelligence, and his counterintelligence work has always been in place. The eye that was caught has a tragic end. Being a double agent is considered a good result.
The Hidden Front is an interesting area, filled with true and false information and scheming. Sometimes, it will also become a way to convey some information to the opponent.
Like this time, after the troops arrived in Silverpine Forest, Kane sent an invitation to the Lich King for a battle.
The specific process is somewhat convoluted.
The relevant news was known to Arugao first.
This former Kirin Tor mage is an example of 'character determines destiny'.
In the original history line, after the death of Antonidas, the Kirin Tor has no leader, and a miserable appearance of falling from the clouds to dust. They have always been proud of the mortal world, and they suddenly discovered that magic is not as perfect as they thought, not to mention that there was a large army that broke Dalaran before, and then Archimonde destroyed the city of magic. In the mud, I stepped on a few more feet.
Under such a background, some mages lose their mentality and become eager for quick success and even use unscrupulous means.
Arugal is one, this sorcerer known as the "poor mage" is usually looked down upon by his colleagues, but he has a lonely and surly temper. Like many fallen people, he also breaks taboos and seeks to make up for him The strength of the short board. So he found the Dark Wolf Wogan.
Volgan was the dark side of Goldrinn, the wolf god, among the early animal demigods of Azeroth.
At the same time, it is also the source of the werewolf curse.
Moreover, Wolgan is inextricably linked with the Underworld, the Emerald Dream, and the Blighted Realm.
But now, Antonidas and the city of magic are all fine, but Arugal still has problems. This guy made the same mistake that Kel'Thuzad did back then. He got an evil law book and researched it on his own, thinking it was very secretive and brilliant, but he was discovered and expelled.
After leaving Dara, Arugal continued his forbidden research, but he was not like Kel'Thuzad, he had a rich family, he was basically a poor man, once had a small fortune, and because of research needs, he lost it all.
In order to obtain the resources, places, and money he needed, he directed and acted a play by himself.
The area of Silverpine Forest near the famous Wall of Greymane belongs to the Kingdom of Gilneas. Its king, Genn Greymane, seems to Kane to be a shrewd and a little too much monarch.
He originally wanted to eat the fertile land next to Hillsbrad Hills on his left, but after King Terenas of Lordaeron showed a stronger willingness, he withdrew. There was a gap in national strength, and Terry Nas is also the leader of the Alliance Against Orc Invasion, so he has no chance of winning by arm wrestling.
If he can't eat fat, he will not take responsibility. When Terenas made a big contribution to imprisoning orcs, Gene took the opportunity to quit the alliance.
During this period, Gilneas has begun to close its doors to live its own life, but it has not completely shut itself off. Instead, it has built barrier castles in Pyrewood Village in the west, Shadowfang Castle in the west, and Borenard in the east. Like a door god, they guard the Greymane Wall at the southern end, forming a triangular pattern of mutual dependence.
This construction has indeed raised the security factor of the Kingdom of Gilneas to a higher level. Gilneans who lack a sense of security are supposed to be able to interact with people from other countries normally.
However, the good times didn't last long, and the shrewd Gilneans soon discovered that their new neighbor Falcon Kingdom was cheap, high-quality and high-quality, and the related industries in the country were on the verge of bankruptcy.
In order to support domestic industries, Gilneas imposed extremely high tariffs on many products from abroad.
Kane just laughed it off. In his mind, the industrialization process of the Falken Kingdom has only just started, and there is still some time before it becomes mature and sweeps the world.
But, not for long. At that time, if Gilneas misses the best integration period, it will not only be a labor pain, but will be fatal.
Of course, they can continue to encourage, even use the implicit policy of imprisonment, even prohibiting citizens from interacting with outsiders.
That's okay, in the 21st century of the original world, don't Africa still have primitive and backward indigenous African chiefs?
Kane didn't specifically target it, and Gilneas didn't have the ability to suppress Kane's industry in turn. Although it is a country, its population is not even as large as a county in the 21st century of the Chinese Dynasty, or even a township in a prosperous area. With such a small number of people, and they mainly focus on farming, how can they fight Kane?
And as the news of the undead invasion of Lordaeron spread, Jean immediately issued an order to completely lock down the country. It seems that even Shadowfang Castle and Boren Castle have given up.
"How can the door god that has been painstakingly built be thrown away without destroying it? Is this breeding enemies? Or raising bandits? Or is there something wrong with Gilneas?"
For these issues, Kane is still unable to come up with conclusive evidence to draw a conclusion. He also only recently added manpower.
The Twelfth Battleship Hall also had spies in Gilneas before, but Kane still acted appropriately for the Allies, and did not spy too deeply.
On the surface, there were no major omissions or accidents in the operation of the Kingdom of Gilneas.
This time, the spying and requirements are very demanding, and the daily life of the king and dignitaries are all within the scope of attention.
Not to mention the anomalies of Gilneas, let's just talk about the two fortresses.
On Bollenard's side, after Gilneas gave up, Dalaran took over and became a staging station on the road from Amber Mill to the Hillsbrad foothills.
As for Shadowfang Castle, the lower villages, and Pyrewood Village, the local lord Barron will continue to receive supplies. As for the affiliation of the above, few people know.
As a result, since two or three months ago, the villagers of Pyenmu Village lived in fear every day.
They expected the local lords to protect them from the wolves of the forest.
This is a drama written and directed by Arugao himself.
The lord has not shown up for a long time in the wolf killing incident. But out of nowhere, a Dalaran mage jumped out and gave them some magic wristbands, telling them that after wearing them, they would not be harassed by wild beasts.
At the beginning, people were skeptical, but they couldn’t help it. Someone came forward and said: Encountering a wild wolf, it was huge, terrifying, and its eyes were like lights, but it didn’t attack. After watching for a while, it retreated
So more and more people wear the Pyrewood Bracers.
But after living together for a while, a new situation appeared recently, and it was also bad luck.
The hunter saw a werewolf deep in the forest, and people kept disappearing in the village. At night, the howling of wolves could be heard outside the village...
This is the probability of the intelligence brought back by the scouts.
People in this world don't know about werewolves and the werewolf curse, so they're a little confused about what happened in Pyrewood.
Kane is very clear.
"It seems that before confronting the Scourge, we must first solve the wolf problem."
