Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1454 87. Excellent genes, worth collecting

Although the well-informed nerubians knew about the rise of the Lich King in the north of Northrend and the war between the undead and the trolls because of the well-informed tundra stratum transportation network.

But they didn't pay too much attention to these two forces.

Nerubians, who have been hiding underground for more than ten thousand years, have never intended to pay too much attention to the surface.

This is the experience of their long-term hidden existence.

In the eyes of the Nerubians, the thick and cold frozen soil of Northrend is the perfect defense and shelter, a hidden canopy that belongs exclusively to the Nerubians. The Demon Kingdom is isolated from the chaotic surface world.

Nerubians consider themselves to be bystanders and recorders in the long history of Northrend. They observe and record everything on the surface with a detached attitude.

They have witnessed the invasion of demons, they have witnessed the battle of the ancients, they have witnessed the fall of dragons, and they have witnessed the collapse of heaven and earth.

They never express their opinions on everything they observe, and they never intend to intervene in the affairs of the outside world. They have become accustomed to hiding in silence, and are accustomed to being protected by the darkness of the earth.

Most of them stubbornly believe that no matter how chaotic the outside world is or how terrible things happen, it will not affect the long-term stability of the underground kingdom.

But to be honest, the way of life of the nerubians who "enclose the land and grow up" is not bad.

It is much better for them to voluntarily hide under the world than to imitate the "ideal" that the Qiraji and the mantid intend to conquer the world if they disagree.

Of course, Nerubians can survive under the land of Northrend for more than ten thousand years. They are definitely not only good at hiding, they also have their own defense and military strength.

When the nerubians built their first city Ankahet underground, they considered a series of issues such as surface warfare and foreign invasion.

Therefore, these insectoid nobles set up many checkpoints, city walls and gates for their territory to defend against foreign enemies, and specially created maze-like tunnels to hide the real entrance to the underground kingdom.

In addition to these fortifications based on the "architecture and art" style of the Dark Empire, the nerubians also used the mysterious skills handed down from the Aqir Empire to tame many wild and powerful spiders in the Northrend continent as the city's protector.

According to the records of some bizarre documents whose sources are hard to be ascertained at present, the giant spiders guarding the nerubian city have been mysteriously domesticated by the nerubians for generations, and their strength is already similar to that of some weak beast loa.

It can be said that the nerubians have achieved the ultimate in self-protection.

If it is a frontal attack, even if the military power of the entire human civilization is filled in, it is impossible to break through the Nerubian city in a short time.

And once the battlefield is placed underground under the frozen soil that the Nerubians regard as their home, it means that the initiative of the war is completely handed over to the Nerubians.

In that kind of war mode where the Nerubians can sneak up and attack from underground tunnels in all directions, while the invaders can only passively attack the complex underground like a blind man, even if the army of Titans joins the battle, it will be difficult to win a brilliant victory.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Maris' previous emotion.

The underground world of Northrend is completely ruled by the nerubians. As a civilization that was born in a corrupt force but then became independent, the nerubians have the capital to be proud.

But the problem is that a title like "Never Fall" itself seems to be a curse to the defense system.

Most of the cities that were considered absolutely impossible to fall were not destroyed from the front. Just like the sudden outbreak of war, no one could have predicted that His Majesty the Lich King, who had recently risen in the Northrend continent, would The war of conquest of Aizhuo Nerub in the insect kingdom will be led by a group of insects.

And this attack came too suddenly!

The entire process from the appearance of the ancient venerable to the attack by the swarm army took less than five minutes, so fast that even the "friendly army" around Bu Laike could not have expected it at all.

What the friendly army could not even think of, the nerubians who were the targets of the attack must be even more unexpected.

The incomparably brave mantid heroes led the elite fighters who survived the battle with the demons in the world of Dellano and charged under the unsuspecting nerubian city like a whirlwind. Before he could make it through, he was chopped into pieces by the mantid swordsmen.

The sacrifice of the guards did give the city defenders time to close the gates of the city wall.

But the problem is, everyone is a bug, and the ancestors are still a family, so there is no need to play underground raids in front of the Qiraji swarm.

Under the call of the ancient venerable, Oro, the king of the tunnel worms from the ruins of Qiraji, the giant worm lord, quickly let out a strange and low hiss.

It was like a long red snake running through the ground, and in just a few minutes, it dug out a huge tunnel leading directly to the inner core of the nerubian city.

The terrifying giant worm screamed and protruded its huge body from the center of the nerubian city in a way that destroyed the earth. It bent down amidst the smoke and dust of broken rocks, and swept all the surrounding buildings with a 360° sweep. God.

This terrifying attack stunned the nerubians who had been at peace for thousands of years.

These strange worm-like nobles with a human upper body and a spider-like lower body don't know how to deal with the disaster in front of them.

Some of them are calling for lower-level nerubian soldiers to go to the front line with them to resist the invaders, and some are trying to escape with their families before the invaders invade the city.

But it is a pity that there is no difference between "front line" and "rear" in front of the Qiraji tunnel worm, a biological warfare machine specially designed for underground raids.

At the same time that the mantid invaded the city, a large number of Qiraji workers rushed into the nerubian city along the tunnels opened by the tunnel worms.

These "old relatives" who came from the same civilization more than 10,000 years ago, but have already differentiated into different factions and different forms, have no idea of ​​reminiscing about the past when they meet, and no matter how the nerubians try to use spiritual magic, qiraji and praying mantis The demons exchanged dialogues, and there was only one reaction from the vicious bugs rushing into the ancient kingdom.

kill!

Kill what you encounter!

Even the little spiders and six-legged flying insects that the Nerubians domesticate to amuse themselves will be dragged out of their warm and dark dens and bitten to death!

Those spider eggs also had to be moved up and shaken well, and then used as "fine wine" to "supplement nutrition" to the berserk workers.

Of course the Qiraji are cruel, but their evil deeds today have nothing to do with their cruel nature. There is only one reason for all the killings, and that is that the ancient sages asked them to do so!

The ancient venerable said that the supreme she will see a river of blood flow!

Then, as loyal servants of the darkness, they must dedicate a real "river of blood" to the supreme master.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

When the nerubians were the largest and the first underground city in their history, the walls of Ankahet were completely under the control of the swarm, the noble ancient venerable and her human "male favorite" set foot on this heretical land.

Bo Laike looked left and right at the corpses of the nerubians that had been torn apart by the berserk swarm.

Those guys are still wearing strange cloth woven robes, and they know how to decorate their clothes and limbs with gold, silver or precious stones.

The pirates even saw a nerubian holding its beloved lyre in his arms before he died, which means that although the nerubians are the branch with the smallest number of bug people, they are definitely the branch with the highest degree of civilization development.

When the qiraji were still drinking blood, and the mantid were still dedicating everything to the Great Samsara, the nerubians actually started to study music.

Tsk tsk tsk, it can only be said that it is worthy of being a former bugman nobleman.

"brutal?"

Bu Laike's complaints immediately aroused Xalatas' dissatisfaction, and the ancient lady said in a very unhappy voice:

"I have entrusted Liresa, your mentor, little master, to convey my will, and I have given these nerubians the choice to return to the Yaqui Empire, but how did they respond to my kindness?

They don't even allow Liresa to set foot in their city!

The kindness I sent to their king was not valued by that stupid king at all!

But that's my messenger!

That is the messenger representing the will of the swarm. "

Xalatas swept across the capital city of the Nerubian Kingdom with an extremely cold gaze. She spat out a bright red snake letter and said coldly:

"If their so-called 'wisdom' is not enough to teach these subterranean creatures the necessary qualities to survive, I don't mind teaching them the dire consequences of disobedience to an Elder One.

Not to mention that these descendants of the Yaqi Empire actually chose to flirt with Yogg Saron, flirting with each other, which is really disappointing! "

The ancient venerable snorted, raised his coquettish fingernails and flicked them, and said:

"I originally gave the nerubians their place in my aqir empire, but now that they have dedicated their loyalty to my nemesis, I don't need them to continue to exist.

Anyway, what my empire needs is nothing more than the lost genes of the Yaqir. "

Speaking of this, Xalatas grinned, moved her body like a snake, circled the pirate twice, buried her head in the pirate's arms, and said in a soft voice:

"My little master, has my viciousness and cruelty made you hate me? It's okay, you can tell me, and I will correct my style according to your request."

"Uh, that's fine, don't change it."

Bu Laike glanced at the cold eyes of the Lord's guards around him, he coughed, patted Xal'atath's head and whispered:

"If it gets worse, wouldn't it be the end of it? Instead of taking the risk to bet that the next you will be better, I think accepting the dark and depraved you now may be more in line with my needs.

I mean, now you are perfect in my eyes. "

"Well, my little master, you are really good at talking about love."

Xalatas put on a nympho look, folded his hands in front of his chest, and his bewitching eyes almost sparkled like stars.

Of course, if you don't consider the nerubian corpses that were bitten to death by berserk swarms due to the order of the ancient venerable, and the chaotic background of the underground city that is being slaughtered frantically, Xalatas's current situation The nympho's speech might be more convincing.

"My lord! Good news! Really good news!"

Just when Xalatas and her little boy were performing sweet you and me, a loud voice broke the touching scene.

Among the mantid heroes, Carl, who is the most skilled at genetically modifying the cutter, descended from the sky excitedly with two weird flesh and blood organs. It knelt down in front of Xal'atath, who was lying in the arms of the pirate, with an extremely excited tone. Report to:

"We have collected precious genetic samples from these weak nerubians, and those ancient gene fragments from the Aqir Empire are the key to making the swarm strong again.

It's enough to transform your minions for years.

We have obtained the most important nerubian gene, my supreme lord, the mysteries and evolution paths of all the fighters and destroyers of the Yaqi Empire in the Dark Glory will be open to us!

We also captured the 'city guardians' of the nerubians, those powerful hunting spiders who only need a little genetic modification to integrate into the attack sequence of the swarm.

Under your leadership, the re-emergence of the insectoid empire that made the world tremble is just around the corner"

"Well, so, you came here to disturb my good mood because of such a trivial matter?"

Xal'atath stared at the mantid Yingjie who was so happy that he carried himself away with a bad tone, as if he was angry that the Cleaver interrupted her intimacy with Bu Laike rudely.

But fortunately, the ancient venerable also knew that these heroes had their own faults, and they didn't intend to anger her, so a few seconds later, under the comfort of the pirates, she also calmed down, and said in a cold voice:

"Just these samples are not enough! Far from enough! I also want to see the gene sequence of the most powerful life individual that can be born in the nerubian civilization and even the entire swarm civilization.

The Nerubians' Crypt Lord is in this city!

I have already smelled its breath, the swarm warrior named Anub'arak is leading its lords, trying to lock me and attack me.

What a king who loves his people, he is willing to challenge an ancient venerable for the survival of this city.

Even I was moved. "

"Escort! There are assassins! Hurry up and escort!"

As soon as Xal'atath said that the nerubian king was preparing for a sneak attack, the stinky pirate Bu Laike immediately played his "image" in the eyes of other bugs perfectly.

He screamed exaggeratedly.

The swarm guards are required to come back quickly to protect the ancient venerable, although Xalatas is not afraid of the surprise attack of a few crypt lords based on his current strength.

But Bo Laike's "exquisite performance" still made Xalatas laugh.

After laughing, Bu Laike felt a slight vibration coming from the ground not far away, and he knew that was where the Crypt Lords were about to raid.

But the pirates and Xalatas did not intend to fight at all. On the contrary, the two dogs and men took a few steps back, deliberately giving the battlefield to the real fighters.

"I said, you and your goddess can be in charge of a crypt lord. That thing is thicker than you can imagine, and it is almost the bloodiest life form in the whole world.

Be careful, you two, don't overturn the boat in the gutter. "

With a pipe in his mouth, Braike gave instructions to Nathanos and Cirvanas who were adjusting their war bows, and then glanced ahead. General Liresa had drawn out her longbow, and her princess of the swarm The war pet Yarki is also in place.

In the center of the battlefield where the ground has begun to crack, is His Majesty the Lich King Lothar, wearing a black lion battle armor and holding Frostmourne.

Obviously, he wants to get rid of the king of the Nerubians by himself, so as to complete the first conquest of the Nerubians by the Scourge of the Undead. Well, he is going to join hands with Braike to teach the Alliance a small trial before the start of the war. up.

This also represents Lothar's respect for the Nerubian King.

Isn't there a saying that is good?

The blood of every king must end with the sword.
