Chapter 464 35. The Rise of Natural Disasters
The country that had suffered a terrible disaster needed a way out, and under the coordination of the powerful returning Sun King Kael'thas, the high elves finally reached an agreement.
Hawksbill will continue to command the Quel'Dolin Legion, guarding the Dythom and Quel'Dorei huts, to guard the ancestral land for the high elves who are about to leave Quel'Thalas, and to keep an eye on Quel'Thalas. However, according to the current situation and the activity of the life energy monitored by the mages, in the not-too-distant future, the forest coverage on the entire surface of Quel'Thalas will reach an astonishing 100 %.
Moreover, those newly born dark forests will also completely enter a strange state of activation.
That is to say, at least within the next ten years, this piece of land where life energy is too active is not suitable for life to live in.
The Quel'Thalas elves stranded in the southern forest will be transferred to various countries in the northern border. In the next few days, His Majesty Kael'thas will discuss this issue with the Human Empire, but according to Judging from certain actions of the Sun King, it seems that he does not want to continue to place his people in the increasingly dangerous northern border.
In fact, just after the Sun King reorganized the Silvermoon Council, in the afternoon, there was a team of extremely high-standard envoys on a magical battleship of the Sunsail Fleet of Quel'Thalas, with Kaelsa According to Si's order, they secretly sailed into the endless sea... No one knows where they went, but it must be another back road that Kael'thas is looking for for his people.
The transfer of nearly 1.4 million high elf civilians is destined to take a very long time. Fortunately, the Sunsail Fleet that Quel'Thalas spent a huge amount of money on was not too severely hit by the undead and the ravages of plants. This magic-powered fleet has the time and power to move the people beyond the borders of Quel'Thalas.
But now facing the new Sun King, there is another thorny problem...Magic addiction. After losing the Sunwell, the concentration of magic power in the entire Quel'Thalas dropped rapidly, and the high elves gradually felt the inner strength of their bodies. The magic power hunger, and the higher the level of the mage, the more difficult it is to adapt to this sudden magic power hunger.
In just 2 days, many people had confusion in their thinking, which made Kael'thas feel the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, after the internal affairs of Quel'Thalas became more stable, the Sun King went to Dalaran intends to find ideas and methods to solve the problem of magic addiction in Dalaran's endless collection of books.
Before destroying the Sunwell, Tyrion once said to Anasterian that he would personally reveal the darkest and nastiest side of the high elf civilization, and now it seems that he did not lie.
For the high elf exiles who lost their country and land, the real difficulties have just begun, but the moment of their life and death is probably not far away.
——————————————————————
While the high elves were busy escaping from their unrecognizable hometown, on the other side blocked by the dense forest, in the northeast corner of the southern forest of Quel'Thalas, between the dark mountains that the elves had selectively forgotten, there was a fierce battle. changes are also underway.
The Amani troll, the greatest opponent of the high elves for thousands of years, is now facing a moment of life and death.
Speaking of the Amani trolls, this clan is not simple. Although there is only a palm-sized piece of their territory left, in ancient times, the Amani trolls established their own giants on a land that has not yet been divided. The Demon Empire, the Amani Troll Empire and the Gurubashi Troll Empire in the south, were once one of the most powerful civilizations in this world.
(When describing the history of the Gurubashi trolls in the Stranglethorn Vale, there were some mistakes. The Zandalari troll empire should be the last of the three troll empires. The earliest troll empire was the Amani Forest in the north Trolls and the Gurubashi troll empire in the south. During the period when the northern and southern empires were tied together, the Zandalari troll clan had a high status, but they appeared as prophets and recorders.
In other words, after the decline of the Amani trolls and Gurubashi trolls, the Zandalari trolls took advantage of the situation and established the last troll empire in Azeroth in Nazmir and Zuldazar, but with When the Yaqir Empire fought, the Northern and Southern Empires did win with difficulty under the wise leadership of the Zandalari trolls and paid a terrible price. )
Thousands of years ago, the mighty Amani forest trolls almost wiped out the high elves who occupied their sacred ancestral land. In the end, the human Arathor Empire gave their all to help, and the elves and humans went south and north. Only by attacking the forest trolls together could they win the victory, and that battle also destroyed the last dignity of the Amani forest trolls.
The forest trolls have split since then, and the Amani trolls have withdrawn from the stage of history because of this, but they have not stopped resisting. Under the command of the previous generation of high priest Zul'jin, the Amani trolls will set off a new wave almost every few years. A war against Quel'Thalas, but after Tyrion and Lor'themar completely killed Zul'jin, the Amani trolls have been much quieter in recent years.
But even though the trolls closed their doors and wanted to live a good life, this hateful world was unwilling to let them go... The tide of the forest that ran wild from the Isle of Quel'Danas not only engulfed the tall and majestic silver Moon City, after spreading to the southern forest, swallowed several towns of unsuspecting Amani trolls in almost a few days.
Even the last stronghold of the Amani trolls, the mountain-valley city of Zul'Aman built in the mountains, has been surrounded by overgrown forests, and that's not the worst... The undead, those in the Lich King Under his command, the undead evacuated from Silvermoon City went all the way down the southeastern coastline, and finally came to the sphere of influence of the Amani troll.
It is impossible for the Lich King to send the undead soldiers from the Northrend continent to the eastern continent. The undead Scourge needs to "recruit" soldiers on the spot. Well, any corpse, no matter what race, no matter what appearance, whether male or female, they will come to them.
Thus, under the blows of various disasters, the Amani trolls on the verge of extinction... also ushered in their final demise in the dark forest.
"Nalorak...a mighty force, but...defeated."
A low growl full of resentment echoed through the valleys of Zul'Aman. Under the gaze of the Lich King's icy will, the vrykul necromancers and crypt lords who obeyed him swept across the trolls with mindless walking corpses. Under the pressure of the terrible numerical superiority, the fearless undead pressed the trolls all the way to the deepest part of Zul'Aman.
Even the powerful loa priests of the forest trolls suffered heavy injuries in the battle with the undead. Among the entire Amani troll group, Nalorak, the most powerful priest of the bear spirit, was loved by the spirit of the giant bear. The troll, in front of the shrine of the loa god he believed in, was torn apart by the crypt lord Anub'arak.
The loa that the trolls believed in varied greatly in strength. The loa that was only believed by one or two clans like the giant bear spirit was no match for a natural top predator like Anub'arak.
And in the sky, the Falcon and Flame Dragon Eagle domesticated by the Amani troll also tried to lead the priests to break through in desperation, but the frost dragon that fell from the sky did not give these weak creatures a chance at all, and the cold frost breath was almost One layer after another covered the sky above the valley, and those forest trolls who were exhausted for their lives would be killed the moment they came into contact with these cold breaths.
On this battlefield, the Lich King doesn't seem to have left the trolls with a second choice other than death... This is the difference between him and Tyrion. He has seen too many disasters, and Ner'zhul has no choice for life. Lack of respect, and he is not like Tyrion, who will recruit some warriors by beating around the bush.
If any troll makes the Lich King look differently, such as a warrior like the brutal spirit bear priest Nalorak, who is loved by the Lich King, he will kill him cruelly first...
"click, click"
The tall Vrykul general, the temporary bearer of the Lich King's will, strode up to the shrine of the Bear Spirit. Standing in front of the dead bear priest, he drew out the long ice sword on his back with his backhand.
It was a crystal-clear two-handed sword, with one side sharpened and one side covered with ferocious saw blades. The guard was carved in the shape of a goat-headed devil, and strange runes were engraved on the body of the sword. It looked very gloomy. The moment the long sword was pulled out, clusters of cold mist scattered around the body of the tall vrykul general, and his dead body began to be rapidly eroded by ice thorns.
But the undead can't feel the pain. Amidst the whisper of the Lich King, the long sword made of solid ice pierced fiercely into the troll corpse at the foot of the undead. The soul... that book The soul that should belong to Loa's arms was forcibly peeled off by this cold long sword, and a piece of that soul was cut off and swallowed into the blade.
In the flash of the 7 runes on the blade, the corpse of the troll spirit bear priest was filled with death energy. After a while, it slowly stood up from the ground. The hideous wound on the corpse had not healed, but in Filled and tumbling with death energy, the corpse has regained the ability to move, and has become a loyal servant of the Lich King.
And the undead general holding Frostmourne took a step back, his arms wearing steel gauntlets made a crackling sound, which meant that after using Frostmourne several times, this body had been destroyed by the magic blade. The power of the Lich King has been eroded to the extreme, and perhaps soon, the Lich King will have to replace a carrier.
This made Ner'zhul very dissatisfied...but the vrykul general was one of the toughest bodies he could find in the Northlands, and if he wanted more powerful squires, he could only let those who command the undead in the Storm Bay The vrykul kings who ravaged the land of the vrykul held Frostmourne...but frankly, Ner'zhul didn't trust these vrykul leaders.
Although it hasn’t been long since he arrived in Azeroth, he still heard stories about Odin and Hela, and Odin and Hela are one of the common beliefs of all Vrykul... Odin is okay to say , but Hela, the crazy woman who controls the abyss of Hell, is not so easy to deal with.
"It seems that we have to find a qualified sword-bearer for Frostmourne."
The will of the Lich King dissipated in this valley filled with undead. The trolls who were killed by the undead slowly climbed up from the ground under the call of the Lich King. Their bodies were stiff and Twisted, under the command of the new master, let out a hoarse and ferocious roar, turned around and joined the group of slaughtering compatriots.
At dawn on the second day when the undead rushed into Zul'Aman, Zul'jin was elected as the chief's warlord after his death. The invincible Dakala died tragically on the altar in the deepest part of Zul'Aman. Spirit Priest Nalorak and Bobcat Priest Halraz joined forces to kill them. These two undead generals of the Scourge killed the former leader and dedicated his body to the new master.
Under this altar used to sacrifice to the gods, the silent blade Frostmourne exuding endless malice pierced into the tall body of Warlord Dakala, the last pure blood of the Amani troll, just like that He died tragically under the altar, under the watchful eyes of the ubiquitous loamen.
The destruction of the Amani clan brought 40,000 new fighters to the Lich King, but the Amani trolls have always had a tradition of cremation, so the Amani clan does not have a large tomb with an objective number of corpses, so this is not enough ...Far from enough.
But now that Quel'Thalas is covered by the weird activated forest, the Lich King will not drive his soldiers to die. Therefore, after slaughtering the entire Amani clan, the Lich King gave his northern border The Vanguard issued new orders.
Under the leadership of the crypt lord Anub'arak, nearly 400,000 mighty undead descended from the southeastern coast of Quel'Thalas. They will cross the mountainous coast in the south of the Stratholme region and finally reach the northern border. In the central area of the Hinterlands, from the sea-watching cliff in the Hinterlands all the way up, from east to west, conquer the evil branch trolls in the Hinterlands, strengthen yourself, and then break through the Eagle's Nest Mountain guarded by the Wildhammer dwarves all the way, and break into Hillsbury de hills...
Exactly the same road that the orcs took when they invaded Quel'Thalas years ago.
The Lich King's consciousness, on the other hand, was temporarily separated from the army on the eastern front, and his icy will was suspended in the dark sky of the human empire in the northern border. He looked at the land below with a critical eye, like a floating A ghost over the Holy Empire of Arathor.
Ner'zhul could see the grotesque future hidden under this war-torn world. He knew very well that the cooperation with Tyrion was only based on the common hatred for demons, but no matter how strong the hatred is, it will end one day , he may not see that day coming, but after he truly returns to the eternal silence of death, where should the Scourge of the Undead go?
Do you really want to hand over your legacy to Tyrion and his Dark Blade Legion?
The Lich King thought about this question... He didn't have a suitable answer, but if he just watched Tyrion and Dark Blade control the world, he was somewhat unwilling. Ner'zhul never forgot, who put him Sent to the current position of eternal doom.
Yes, he has a bloody feud with demons, but that doesn't mean he and Tyrion are truly "good friends."
"It's not that easy..."
The whisper of the Lich King drifted over the sky in northern Xinjiang, like his icy consciousness, slowly dissipating in the cold wind.
"Maybe...before I leave, I should create some small..."trouble" for you, hehe, the life of the undead is so boring, maybe I should give myself... some fun."
