Azeroth Trail of Light

It was night, and the Theramore Palace, which had been in chaos for most of the day, finally returned to its former tranquility. However, the palace was infected by the deaths of more than 300 people, and it was still full of ominousness in the dim light, until the priests used holy light to light up the entire palace. After purifying everything, the peaceful atmosphere has finally returned to this place.

Dai Lin, Kalia, Dick, Jaina, Eligor, Liadrin, and other high-ranking officials, all the leadership of Theramore, gathered in the conference hall of the palace.

In the open space in front of them, the corpse of a purple fat bug that had lost its life was lying there, but even though it was dead, the corpse was still full of weirdness. At least Princess Kalia forced her eyes not to let go of it. On that thing, little Anduin didn't have the courage he had before, but quietly hid in Kalia's arms.

Apparently, the kid was terrified too.

The leader of the watchmen, Nasha, was still wearing their dark green cloak and armor that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and she didn't even take off the owl helmet on her face, but right now, no one was paying attention to this point, and everyone was silent. Sitting quietly on the side, listening to Nasha, who had personally experienced the last quicksand battle, explain the origin of these strange insects.

"These creatures... we call them Qiraji!"

Nasha held a dagger in her hand, and gently pointed at the wreckage of the worker insect, "But in fact, they call themselves "Aqir Zerg"!"

"Self-proclaimed?"

Dai Lin made a puzzled voice, "You mean, these bugs can still talk? I've seen talking lobsters and murlocs, and even sea giants can communicate after they're full, but bugs..."

Nasha nodded. Although she has lived in Theramore for nearly 2 years, she is still not used to human etiquette. The magnanimous Kalia allows all the watchers to live according to their own habits, so Nasha did not use the honorific , but rather bluntly,

"Yes, the kings of humans, not only can they speak, but they also have their own civilization. They have existed even longer than the Kaldorei... even longer than the ancient elf empire! Before the Kaldorei appeared , the empire of the Yaqir Zerg and the empire of the dark troll continued the war without a winner, but they were finally defeated by the merged ancient Zandalari empire of trolls, and were forced to divide into three tribes in three directions. Migration, this happened 14,000 years ago."

"Well…"

Little Anduin has grown his mouth, he is not old enough to tell what 14,000 years really means, but he still knows that human history is only 3,000 years old, that is to say, these bugs were long before human beings were born For ten thousand years, he lived in this world.

Nasha ignored the surprise of human beings. For her, 10,000 years is just an ordinary and boring period of light and shadow in a long life. Since the War of the Ancients, she has not been surprised for a long time. This is why she chose to stay in Sierra. The reason for Momo is not just because of Ms. Maiev's order, but because she also wants to see the changes in this already unfamiliar world.

"We dealt with the Yaqir 1,000 years ago. At that time, the archdruid Staghelm was ordered to lead a team of druids and soldiers against Silithus, which is located in the southernmost part of the Kaldorei ruled area. If there is hope of governance, the druids will be stationed in that desert."

Nasha's voice was still hoarse and deep, but her description unfolded a gorgeous and strange picture in front of everyone. A group of druids were marching with difficulty in the endless yellow sand. Where they can't see, in those shadows, crazy and evil bugs are quietly waiting for their prey to come into their nets.

"Staghelm's exploration plan went smoothly, and they even established Southwind Village there. During those decades, many compatriots who were tired of seeing the forest scenery would choose to go to Silithus to meet different people. The scenery, the quiet desert, is said to be the most beautiful place in the world, but until the son of Staghelmet, the brave warrior Valastan, strayed into the ruins of the strange temple in the deepest part of the desert because of the wind and sand, everything changed. It's getting worse."

"Insects... Yes, the insects we saw are just the lowest servants of the Yaqi Empire, and there are insects on top of them. They are twisted and powerful creatures. Valastan was captured , the worms rushed out of the ruins, and it wasn't until then that Deer Helmet discovered that buried under this beautiful desert...is death!"

"The worms surrounded Nanfeng Village, but under Lu Helmet's heroic battle, most of his compatriots were saved, but Lu Helmet lost his last relative."

Nasha's voice became mournful, "The black bugman general, in front of the deer helmet, tore Valastan into pieces, and even his soul was dedicated to their evil gods. I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes. Witnessing it all, it was an unmitigated tragedy."

"Staghelm sided with the people, and lost his last hope."

"The Archdruid was like crazy and led the same angry soldiers to attack those bugmen. That was the first time they were repulsed! When Malfurion came with reinforcements, Staghelmet held Wa The wreckage of Rastan, kneeling alone in the blood-soaked yellow sand, even the news that the dragons appeared and joined the battle, could not heal his broken heart."

"That was also the last time a dragon appeared in this world in my memory."

The watchman shrugged his shoulders, "You may not be able to imagine the original scene. The invincible dragon was so vulnerable to the armed golems driven by the insects. From the beginning to the end of that battle, at least nearly Thirty giant dragons and several noble dragons were captured by the bugmen and sent to the kingdom of the evil gods rising from the desert."

"At the last moment, it was the dragon kings who showed up with more dragons, and all the soldiers of the Kaldorei gathered in the yellow sand, and drove the worms who suffered heavy casualties back to their land. In the cave! But even so, we can't destroy them, because the evil god's frantic will protects that place, and the Dragon King can only choose to seal it completely, that is the wall of beetles."

"But when the dragon handed the quicksand scepter to the Arch Druid Staghelm, the desperate Staghelm smashed the artifact to the ground, then gave up everything and became a lonely traveler. It broke into four pieces and was taken away by the dragons."

Nasha stretched out her finger and pointed at Dick,

"I don't know where you got that red crystal, but Dick, that's a quarter of the Quicksand Scepter, the artifact that the dragons used to seal the wall of beetles back then."

The paladin held the red shard in the palm of his hand. It looked like a piece of clumsy broken glass, but on the surface, it didn't look like a divine weapon at all, but Dick knew that the crystal that Nefarian was wearing next to his body , definitely not everything.

In fact, this was the first time that the "Light of Appraisal" in Dick's eyes had a problem. No matter how he looked at it, there would always be only four large characters floating on this crystal.

"Unknown Wonders"

Dick knew what it was. In the game, he was also a personal participant in that epic battle. He even knew exactly where the four pieces of the Quicksand Scepter were located. He had wanted to collect them in advance, and even asked Information from Eranikus about the shard held by the green dragon.

The hero dragon just told it,

"That's a dangerous thing, you'd better not pursue the secret behind it! It's not a secret that mortals can get their hands on."

So, Dick knew that the time had not yet come.

After reversing one-third of the world, the paladins have already understood a truth. For something to happen, there must be conflicts in the early stage and conditions for the advancement of things. Living in the crumbling Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas is now focusing on restoring the country, and it is impossible to have any intersection with Thrall.

This eliminates the possibility of proud high elves joining the Horde's side.

Therefore, only problems that are solved from the root will be regarded as reversing the fate of the world. This is why the speed of reversal obtained at such a huge historical node on Mount Hyjal is almost the same as that of the black dragon disaster. In that scene, Di Ke didn't change anything from the factor level at all, he just became a bystander who participated in it once.

It's like Dick waited for two years before the plague of beetles came. He suppressed his emotions and quietly prepared in his own way. He was like an uncertain factor free from history. He even I don't even know, once I enter Silithus in advance, will C'Thun's attention lead to the early outbreak of the Beetle War.

In other words, the older you are, the less courageous you are.

Now he is not the sheriff who had nothing in the past, so whether it is thinking about problems or doing things, Dick needs to think too much.

But at least one thing he can be sure of is that as long as the quicksand scepter is not restored, the wall of beetles can still persist in a short period of time, that is to say, the most likely reason for the insects not being able to break through the defense is, The attack on the hive crystal this time was because part of the integrity of the seal had been destroyed during the long period of time.

Nasha's narration is also accompanied by Dick's thinking, entering the final epilogue,

"Aqir Zerg, that is, Qiraji, are actually not without weaknesses. First of all, for a large number of workers, their magic resistance is very weak. Secondly, they are stupid and do not have the ability to think for themselves. Can passively accept orders from high-level workers or brain worms!"

"This is a brain worm!"

Nasha pointed to the huge, fat body covered with purple carapace, four legs, and two slender horny tentacles, like an enlarged version of the strange thing like a morning glory bug.

"The commanders of the worker insects, their abilities are all kinds of strange, some can spew acid, some are extremely powerful, and some can even release simple magic. Their spiritual power is very strong, and they are very smart. The ability to command nearly 10,000 workers, so if you want to fight the Qiraji, the first thing you need to do is to find the cerebrate and kill it! Otherwise, it is impossible for you to live to see the victory."

"I'm more concerned about those crystals... Nasha, Dick said that at least three crystals fell into the swamp in Theramore, and they..."

Kalia's brows were furrowed high, and the Eldest Princess couldn't help rubbing the corners of her brows with her fingers. Hearing her question, the watchman was silent for a moment, and then sighed extremely rarely.

"Your Highness Kalia, although I really don't want to admit it, I'm afraid we are really in trouble. Those crystals also appeared at the end of the Quicksand War that year. They were weapons used by the insects for long-range combat. A crystal even A whole large area can be wiped out, and now, together with the three crystals in the swamp, the insects have projected a total of five crystals to this place, obviously, they are also looking for the Quicksand Scepter, and they are very determined!"

The watchman moved his fingers,

"Get ready for war, friends, the worms will not reason with us, either defeat them or die, there is no third choice."

As soon as Nasha finished speaking, a dark storm crow flapped its wings and landed in front of the palace. In the mist of transfiguration, it turned into a female night elf druid wearing eagle-shaped decorative leather armor. Under the leadership of her, she strode into the conference hall and handed a scroll of animal skins to Kalia.

"Madam Lord of Theramore, the Cenarion Council invites you to participate in the joint meeting with the Zergs. After one day, I will build a portal to Moonglade for you! By the way, Knight Dick please Be sure to come together!"

The eldest princess put the scroll in her hand, she glanced at Dick, and asked softly,

"Which forces did the druids invite?"

There was a heavy look in the eyes of the female druid,

"We invited everyone we could."
