Chapter 1165 6. Argus Frontline of Civilization

"Honorable Elune, are you all right?"

In the Chamber of Heart of Silithus, the diamond dwarf Muradin stood in front of the running Titan instrument with a worried expression on his face. He asked in a low voice:

"Last night, I heard the voice from the core of the world again. Do you feel the pain of the world?"

Accompanied by Muradin's voice resounding in the secret room, a ray of light like a moon veil hovered over the Titan instrument, and Elune's gentle voice came from the light:

"No, my Speaker, that is not pain."

"The crack in the world's core does sting slightly, but it's not enough to scare me."

There was a hint of sunshine in the tone of World Spirit, and she said to her endorsement in an uplifting voice:

"I have felt that every day, this world that has been eliminated from diseases is recovering, and I can also clearly feel the recovery of the world, civilization, the perception of living beings, and the dreams of all things have never been so clearly presented to me. Before...I am resuscitating, Muradin, need not worry."

"This... this is an excellent thing."

Hearing the words of the protoss, the worried spokesperson let go of his inner worries. He stood respectfully in front of the phantom of the world spirit. He said:

"So you called me here today, is there something important that I need to do?"

"Yes, Muradin."

Elune's phantom nodded, and she said in a serious tone amidst the moon veil that couldn't see her face clearly:

"Last night, I heard the cry of pain from out of this world, it was one of my brothers..."

"Another Titan?"

Muradin's eyes widened. For a moment, he thought of Sargeras, but it wasn't.

"It's Argus!"

The World Spirit raised his head. Although the Chamber of Heart is located under the great desert, the thick earth and quicksand could not stop Elune's eyes. She could see the stars outside the world, as well as the world outside the world of Azeroth. Dark green stars in orbit, she said:

"In the core of the Argus world, there is also a world spirit sleeping. He has matured, but he is twisted by the power of the dark titan and cannot be truly free. I also foresee my ancient brothers, the Pantheon Souls of the Titans, they are in the Burning Throne of Argus."

"Muradin, go to Argus, you will be the carrier of my will, enter that corrupted world, I want to meet the sleeping Argus, and my brothers..."

"No problem, Lord Elune."

The diamond dwarf nodded without the slightest hesitation:

"The Legion of the Holy Light and the Draenei have established a permanent advance base in the world of Argus. I will set off immediately. After a few days, I will be able to reach the world of fel energy. But with all due respect, Your Excellency Elune, It is very dangerous to communicate with a corrupted titan rashly, maybe, maybe you should inform the dead monarch to go with you."

"No, he has his business to do."

Elune was silent for a moment, then said:

"I also have my destiny to fulfill, go, Muradin, don't attract too much attention, and go to that world alone."

"Okay, I will follow your will."

————————————————————————

The advancing base that Muradin mentioned was actually the base camp of the Kroku clan who lived on the Krokuun Plain back then. It was a big rift that penetrated the southern part of the Demon Krokuun Plain. There were many caves and tunnels. With the help of resources from Azeroth, the Holy Light Legion quickly built a large base here.

They also built advance bases in the Mac'Aree Plains and the Antoran wasteland, and they were linked to each other by a spar transmitter called "Holy Beacon of Light".

That is one of the most important legacies that Zela, the mother of the Holy Light, left to the Holy Light Legion. The fusion of the gem magic of the ancient Eredars and the Holy Light spells was used to achieve fast and swift teleportation, and the Holy Light Legion and Draai The Niers also built beacons in several important cities in the world of Azeroth. At the same time, with the help of the World Civilization Alliance Command, they recruited enough outstanding fighters throughout Azeroth to deal with them. A demonic uprising across the world of Argus.

These fighters are called "vanguards", and most of them are scouts from neutral organizations and several big forces, as well as some outstanding adventurers from the people.

"swish"

Wearing armor and carrying a warhammer, Muradin, disguised as a Vanguard soldier, stepped out of the Beacon of Light. Beside him, the Vanguard recruits who set foot on the land of Argus for the first time chatted among themselves about The diamond dwarves listened to some news in this world without saying a word. Most of the communication content of these recruits was some insignificant gossip.

"Hey, have you heard? Johnny, the luckiest adventurer, found an ancient treasure in the ruins of Mac'Aree's Archon's Seat, sold it for a large sum of money, and prospered!"

"There is also the injured paladin Marcus, and some interesting things happened with the beautiful lady Dr. Delaney. I don't know when the next book of Mr. Marcus will be released. I But loyal fans."

"I also want to have a story with Miss Sister! I also dig treasures! Ah, jealousy and poverty fill me with courage."

"Hey, rookies, don't be too optimistic. Some time ago, the unlucky Orff fell into the siege of demons during an operation. I heard that more than a dozen people in his team died. In the end, he still relied on some new weapons Survived...I mean, it's dangerous out here, so better watch what's in your crotch, or you won't be needing it anytime soon."

These twittering news made Muradin couldn't help curling his lips. These recruits always fantasize about the magnificence of war, but ignore the horror of war. Many people dream of becoming legends of the new era, but to be honest, among 100 people , After the war is over, it would be good if 10 survived.

"However, what they said last should be true."

Muradin looked left and right, and he quietly left the team of recruits, walking towards the depths of the base.

I heard that recently, the Federation, the Empire, and the Draenei have all developed many new weapons made of the mysterious Azerite. Those weapons may have design flaws, but they cannot be used in Azeroth due to their great power. After the final test, he was simply sent to the world of Argus.

Although the appearance of Azerite is still a secret in the world, under the watchful eyes of the dwarves, there are faint Azerite rays shining on the dozens of heavy cannons placed on the city wall, which shows that these heavy cannons are all Cannonballs containing Azerite power were once fired, power armor from the Federation stood on patrol on the city wall, and the heavy guns in their hands also had a faint aura of Azerite. Obviously, this world has been ruled by those leaders. As a weapons testing ground.

Anyway, this world is pretty much ruined. There are wastelands and demons everywhere. Even if something happens to these new weapons, it won't cause too much trouble.

"This place has been completely fortified, and they seem to plan to continue strengthening it."

The diamond dwarves looked at the base in front of them. The stone caves where the Kroku clan lived were covered with rune fragments of large defensive barriers. In front of the base, there was a thick city wall made with elemental magic. Around this large tunnel, Even in the depths of the earth at the foot of Muradin, the shamans from the Ring of the Earth are still constantly strengthening the naturally formed mountain walls and valleys, making the advance base of Krokuun even more indestructible.

In the valley behind the base, several new-style reconnaissance fighters were parked on the ground leveled by the shamans. Many dwarves and goblin craftsmen were busy beside the "big birds" made of steel. They loaded heavy aerial bombs into the launchers of combat skills, while the dwarf pilots of the Wildhammer clan wore goggles and flight jackets, sitting on the side drinking and chatting.

Farther away, around the tarmac, more than a dozen land battle tanks painted in dark green are parked there, and the muzzles of those emitting cold wind are pointing obliquely at the sky, like sharp steel knives , more land battle tanks have accompanied the soldiers of the Vanguard Army to go deep into the depths of the three lands, and continue to expel those leaderless demons wandering in the land of Argus.

"These are tanks driven by new crude oil engines. It seems that they have really spent their money."

Muradin curled his lips. As an orthodox bronze bearded dwarf, he doesn't like these steel giants powered by crude oil. Although after changing to "eating" oil, the power of the land battle tank is stronger, and the weapons that can be carried And more, but that still won't impress the stubborn dwarves.

"By the spirit of the world, but only tanks with steam engines have souls! These...these are nothing more than complete killing machines."

The diamond dwarf snorted inwardly. He turned his head and looked towards the sky. Several starships from Azeroth were floating there. Under the sunlight of this galaxy, huge shadows were cast on Krokuun. The ground, like a mountain suspended in the air, is full of oppressive force, and it also makes the atmosphere of the Krokuhn Pioneer Base chill and majestic.

Although the airmen of Azeroth may not be able to master the real tactics of starships, when used in defensive battles, they only need to learn to open the shield, aim the main gun at the demons, and finally fire it. Simple.

"As long as the demon fleet is not attacking with all its strength, this base will have a great advantage in facing any enemy."

The dwarf finally looked back at the valley outside the base, the training ground for the recruits, and the vanguard recruits who were undergoing training, then turned his head and walked into the hall of the base, which was located in the large underground tunnel. The hall, connected to the ground by a spiral staircase, is filled with the smell of a secret war.

The logistics personnel and commanders of the advance base work here, and orders are issued from here to command the vanguard soldiers to attack the city and plunder the world of Argus. There is also a task board for adventurers, because adventurers They are always used to doing their own things, and it is difficult to cooperate with the regular army, so the commanders of the vanguard army use these adventurers as scouts.

They will release some simple reconnaissance missions for ordinary adventurers, or bounty missions for assassinating some specific targets for high-level adventurers, and group missions for adventurers, often to clean up a place full of monsters. A space rift for demons, or simply let adventurers destroy a camp of demons.

Muradin huddled among the crowd in the mercenary hall. Amidst the noisy shouts of the adventurers, he carefully browsed the quests on the quest board. Gathering missions from Clan Krokul, and some scouting and escort missions from the Legion of the Light.

Probably because they have to take risks in dangerous war zones, the rewards for these missions are very generous. In addition to the rewards of a large number of gold coins, rich and powerful forces like Dalaran or the Vanguard will also give rewards in kind, some of which are Some of the magic items are precious magic materials, and the Kroku clan who still insist on this land will give some special supplies produced locally, and even rent or sell their domesticated Talbuk sheep.

Tens of thousands of years of climate and environmental changes in the world of Argus have made it difficult for the beasts to adapt to the means of transportation from outside Azeroth, and the mountainous terrain covered by evil energy here has only local towers. Cloth sheep can carry adventurers to quickly escape or charge in the pursuit of demons. The Kroku clan has made a lot of money by selling tarbuk sheep during this period of time.

What surprised Muradin even more was that on the mission board, he actually saw several missions issued by the ethereal star consortium.

"Bandage people have come to meddle in the affairs of this world. This place is really "live."

As the spokesperson of the spirit of the world, Muradin naturally knows that Void Spirits are creatures from other worlds. He also knows that Void Spirits are active in some places where the magic power of the Northrend continent is rich. Regarding " Rumors of "Ethereal Merchant" have been widely circulated among Azeroth's adventurers in recent years. These bandages will take the initiative to make deals with Azerothians, and what they want to get is also varied. , making people a little confused.

"Forget it, it's none of my business."

Muradin looked away from the quests issued by the ethereal spirits. He searched carefully, and finally grabbed a note for a collection quest to the Antoran wasteland, which meant he had accepted the quest.

In fact, if possible, Muradin would prefer not to disturb anyone to go to the Antoran wasteland, which is the closest to the core of the world among the three continents of Argus, but the demons occupy an absolute majority in the Antoran wasteland. advantage, so the Holy Light Beacon leading to that side is only open to vanguards and adventurers with sufficient strength.

After a series of simple strength certifications, the freshly baked high-level warrior Raof rode the Tabu sheep he bought, and strolled into the Holy Light Beacon leading to the Antoran Wasteland. And before stepping into the beacon, the dwarf saw the huge star gates leading to the Dreadscar Rift, Niscala, Knossos, and the Void Temple in the underground teleportation hall.

From time to time, heavily armed warriors would come out of that door, or enter those worlds among the stars. This scene made Muradin feel a little weird. He felt that this place was like another Dalaran, but it was not connected The whole of Azeroth is connected to the whole group of stars.

Of course, there are only 4 gates here, representing the four worlds, but Muradin believes that as long as Azeroth survives the final decisive battle, sooner or later, this place will definitely become the core of the civilization circle of the entire stars, and there will be a road leading to it. Every corner of the stars, portals to countless worlds...

"Oh, what a beauty that must be, what a great scene."

The dwarf said something to himself, then grabbed the reins of the Talbuk sheep, and walked into the beacon of holy light in front of him.

No matter how beautiful it is, it is also a matter of the future. Now, let's do the things at hand well first.
