Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Blake and Shantis conducted an on-site reconnaissance of the ruins of the surface cities of the Zerg Empire, and successfully recovered the remains of Ms. Lin Ge and obtained the handwriting of the legendary ranger who died in battle a thousand years ago.

The words written on the petrified tree bark are still clear after time. Knowing that he was bound to die, the excellent hunter spent his last moments recording his experience in taming the alien bugs.

After reading it completely, Blake found that Ms. Lin Ge's method of taming animals was very clever and showed full elf wisdom.

She did not see through the secret of the will of the swarm by accident.

She finally found this forbidden knowledge through little experiments during the long war.

"To sum up, the principle is very simple."

In the desert outside the Beetle Wall, Shandris Feathermoon sat cross-legged on the sand, clutching the petrified tree bark in her hands.

she says:

“According to Ms. Lin Ge’s research, the will of the swarm is very similar to the natural enhancement often used by druids.

When the silithid is healthy and has sufficient vitality, the will of the swarm will strengthen it, making it fearless, and all actions will put the interests of the swarm first.

But when a bug is seriously injured and on the verge of death, the will of the swarm, which is extremely efficient and ruthless, will think that it has lost value and that its continued existence is a waste of the swarm's resources, so it will kill the bug in the period of time before it dies. It 'throws away'.

This period of time when the alien bugs are waiting to die is the best opportunity for hunters to tame the alien bugs.

There is no need to compete head-on with the will of the swarm, and there is no need for more fancy methods to face the weak skeletal bugs. Without the protection of the will of the swarm, the spirit of a single skeletal bug is not enough to resist the hunter's animal taming skills.

After it becomes a hunter's pet and shares its vitality with the hunter, it will quickly recover and be accepted as a new member by the will of the swarm.

In this way, hunters can use the spiritual link of their war pets to spy on the secrets of the swarm, but this is C'Thun's trap. Once we integrate into it, our will will be captured by the fallen gods. "

"It feels a bit familiar."

Blake was holding a pipe next to him, nodding and complaining:

"First, hang them up and beat them until they are almost dead to remove the 'untamable' BUFF. Then, I will arrange the animal taming technique. I will tell you how to watch and become familiar with this process.

It turns out that it is still the same as taming rare elites.

Ms. Lin Ge was indeed a talent for being able to discover this without anyone's guidance.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the will of the swarm. After taming the bugs, she was too reckless and directly connected to the will of the swarm, causing her 'alien' to be discovered in an instant.

She should have waited a while before taking action.

At least you should disguise your consciousness. "

"You don't understand how critical the war situation was at that time. If I had discovered this secret, I would have taken risks. I can only say that Ms. Lin Ge is a true hero.

She gave everything for her people. "

Shandis let out a sigh of relief. She looked at the petrified bark in her hand and said as if she had made an oath:

"I will definitely convey the story about Lin Ge to the Sisters of Elune. Such a hero must be rectified! Everyone she protects must be grateful for her efforts.

She would become a legend of the Kaldorei, remembered by every elf.

But now that we have obtained the taming technique for silithians, it is not enough. Ms. Lin Ge’s warning basically declares your plan bankrupt.

If the source of the will of the swarm lies in the fallen god C'Thun, then we have no way to command the swarm to fight by taming the swarm lord.

The Old God has a firm grip on control of its most powerful legion. "

Speaking of this, General Yuyue was also a little sad.

She reached out and patted Blake's shoulder, comforting:

"Your plan is perfect. I admit that it is indeed a highly executable tactic. The reason for its bankruptcy is not you, but fate is too harsh on us.

But with this insect taming skill, the Sentinel Legion can continue to weaken the threat of the Zerg.

As long as they continue to use lure tactics and knock down and tame the lord bugs at the command level, one day, the threat of Qiraji bugs will also be eliminated.

They also need resources to support powerful Lord Insects.

While being blocked in the Silithus Desert, it is impossible for the Qiraji to cultivate powerful bugs without limit, and the balance of victory will continue to slide towards us because of this skill.

From this point on, the entire Kaldorei civilization would also like to thank you for your contribution. "

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Under the dim moonlight, Black looked at Shandis sideways and said:

"Are you comforting a loser? Do you think I, your brother-in-law, am a loser? Or do you think my dark wisdom is nothing more than this? Do you underestimate me too much?"

"???"

Shandris's eyes widened.

She didn't quite understand what Black meant. Now that it was confirmed that the will of the swarm was controlled by C'Thun, Black actually planned to continue to promote the strategy of "fighting bugs with bugs"?

"Since the target is clearly C'Thun who is still in the Titan's cage, shouldn't we kill him first?"

Blake sneered, looked at the towering wall of beetles in front of him, put his hands on his hips and said:

"Anyway, killing the fallen god was already part of my plan. This time, it's just a matter of hunting down rabbits. I just need to change the order of actions.

The general strategy doesn't even need to change.

I'll deal with C'Thun.

You should hurry up and find those powerful beastmasters who are proficient in beast taming, such as Tyrande Windspeaker, Rexxar Remar, and Lion Wolfwalker. The more people like this, the better.

I heard that the Vrykul in Northrend and the Broken Isles also have beastmasters who are very good at taming beasts.

If I can't find it, I can also make a cameo, although I don't like using these silikids as my pets. They are too ugly.

They don’t fit in with my far more extraordinary aesthetic sense. "

The stinky pirate stretched his neck, turned back to Shandris Feathermoon and said:

"Although Ms. Lin Ge didn't say it explicitly, we can interpret the deeper meaning from the petrified bark she left behind, and it is not difficult to find out when combined with the druids' research on the alien insects.

Things like the will of the swarm can transfer.

As a whole, they will always 'reside' in the will of the leader bug. In other words, if I kill C'Thun, the supreme power of the will of the swarm will fall on the twin emperors of the alien bug.

If I kill the Twin Emperors by the way, it will continue to be transferred to the next successor insect. And whoever tames that lucky bug will take control of the Qiraji swarm.

Even if you can't get the most dazzling reward of the Queen's Rush.

Those Lord Insects are also very good trophies. The will of the insect swarm controlled by C'Thun is too strong, and the Queen Insect may not be able to withstand all the pressure.

Once the power of the will of the swarm begins to be decentralized, the Lord Insects who command each side will also have their own swarms.

The standard feudal lordship system.

Mobile legions of all sizes, each lucky hunter will have his own small insect swarm.

I don't even need a long speech to convince those hunters, I just need to tell them the news, and anyone with a brain will come running over with their own dry food.

This is a hugely profitable deal. "

"That being said, the logic is not difficult to understand. To be honest, I am a little tempted, even if I am not very proficient in animal training."

The sentry general looked at the smelly pirate in front of him with a strange look.

She hesitated and whispered:

"But the premise of all this is that you can kill C'Thun, which is an ancient god and the most terrifying monster that can be born from the dark side of this world.

Even the giant dragons dare not confront such an evil god head-on.

I'm not looking down on you.

Uh, okay, to be honest, I was doubting you. I don't think you can do this alone, you may need help. "

"Of course I need help, have you been dozing off while I was talking?"

Black looked at Shandris with a strange look, and he said matter-of-factly;

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm going to do by calling the death knights, paladins, and lichs to help me? Lord Ravencrest and Pope Alonsos Faol will select elite soldiers and generals to follow me in the crusade against the evil god.

With their help, I feel I have a good chance of winning.

Any other questions?

If not, just go back and do things quickly. It will take a long time to find someone, but time is not on our side, and I don't plan to stay in this ghost place like Silithus for a long time.

I plan to get this done within a week.

I'm still busy.

By the way, you don't have to come back.

After telling Tyrande what happened here, go to Ashenvale to find Jarod. You are not good at taming animals, so staying in Ashenvale is much more useful than being a hindrance here.

Only when you leave can the command of the local Kaldorei warriors legitimately fall into my hands. I don't like to be restricted in what I do.

These words may hurt your fragile self-esteem.

But there is no way, I am a straightforward man. "

Hearing the stinky pirate's confident answer, Shandris didn't know what kind of expression to use in reply.

She felt that the pirate in front of her was really unreasonable. Seeing his slightly excited look, General Sentinel once suspected that there might be something wrong with this guy's brain.

Who, when he heard that he was going to face the ancient gods, was not only not afraid, but also eager to try it? Hey, Sir Pirate, before you go on the expedition, I suggest you check your brain first, okay?

Such hesitation was naturally sensed by Blake.

The pirate snapped his fingers, not bothering to explain his magic to Shandris Feathermoon.

He said:

"You are responsible for what you have to do! Leave the rest to me, and we can happily decide like this. I know your concerns. If I fail, your actions will also be implicated.

But in fact, if you think about it again, you will find that even if I fail and die miserably in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, you will still not lose anything.

Ms. Lin Ge made it very clear.

Taming the silithid and interfering with the will of the swarm are two different things. As long as your hunter does not recklessly integrate his spirit into the will of his pet, you will not be harmed.

At most, you can just hide your own alien insect beasts.

I bear all the risks, and all you get are the benefits. If you still don't agree to such a thing, I will question whether you are qualified as a sentinel general. "

“It’s just because it’s so perfect that I hesitate.”

Sandy said frankly:

"Your plan is so perfect that my mind is urging me to agree, but I have heard your story, Lord Blackshaw, and your reputation makes me have to be cautious.

I will submit this proposal to the Sisters of Elune, and if my Mindor is willing to take the risk, then I will absolutely do my best to help you complete your plan. "

How could this answer satisfy Blake?

But he couldn't put a knife to the elf's neck. Besides, the elf wanted to call him brother-in-law. They were all his own, so he really couldn't do it.

So the pirate waved his hand and said casually:

"Then you should hurry up. I am a person who values ​​my time very much. If you waste my time, it is equivalent to taking away my wealth. This will make me very unhappy.

Two days!

I have to hear back within two days or I'll do it myself. "

Blake coughed, raised his hand and waved it in the moonlight, and said:

"I have a secret passage in my hands. The best hunters in the world are commanded by my mentor. The death knights and paladins are all called by me, and the orcs will be willing to obey me.

Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you that I have other reinforcements.

The reinforcements I can find are more powerful than you could have imagined in the past ten thousand years.

You see, General, I don't actually need your kaldorei help to accomplish this. I just don't want to offend your dignity on the land controlled by the kaldorei, that's all. "

He turned back to Shandis and showed a malicious smile. He made a grabbing motion and said:

"The initiative in this matter is in my hands from beginning to end. I invite you to participate in the feast. Please don't misunderstand the positions of both parties.

Why are you still standing there?

Go back and report the news! Look at your stupid look, how on earth did you become the Sentinel General? Is it really true that she has lost the relationship with Tyrande? "

"Shut up!"

Shandris scolded and whistled to summon her armored fogsaber mount. She turned over and mounted her beloved beast. She looked back at Black and said:

"You won't go back with me?"

"No, I'm going to stay here to investigate. You don't have to worry about me. I will show up when the time is right."

The pirate waved his hand.

Shandris didn't hesitate any longer, took the reins of the Mist Saber and disappeared under the moonlight-shrouded desert.

Watching Shandris leave, and waiting until the ranger general's back completely disappeared, Black took out Bwonsamdi's mask from his bag. He put it in front of his eyes and said:

"You were almost exposed just now, bastard. That was a Moon Priest. I seriously doubt that you, bastard, did it on purpose. You wanted to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

"Jie Jie Jie, how could this be? My dear collaborator, old Bwonsamdi is famously loyal to his allies."

The damn glib tone of the Troll Death came from the mask, and it said:

"Isn't it that I am focused on the task you imposed on me, and I will inform you as soon as there is news? Don't be ignorant, you stinky pirate."

"Have you found Valstann?"

Blake asked, blinking.

Bwonsamdi let out a weird laugh and said:

"Of course! Just now.

Old Bwonsamdi took back my warm nest with the help of the Wild Hunt. Now I am entertaining the warriors of the Wild Hunt in the other world that was messed up by Muezala.

Just now I got their leader drunk and asked a few more questions. What do you think I learned from Lord Kelian? "

"I don't want to guess, I'm too lazy to guess."

Blake snorted, took a sip of wine, and said:

"Speak quickly and stop being so pretentious."

"Hey, it's not interesting at all. Ever since you had a happy life, you stinky pirate has become more and more boring. Ah, love is indeed the tomb of happiness.

But I still like the slutty you that you were before, can you please change back? "

The troll Death sneered disdainfully, and then said a few words:

"Vastann is indeed in Ardenweald, he is in the Wild Hunt, but as you guessed, he gave up his elf body after coming to the Shadow Realm and became a fierce Vokai guard. .

I have sent people to find him.

You can start it over there too.

But the problem is that the Winter Queen is a strict ruler. She strictly prohibits her subjects from having any contact with the material world.

You have to find a way to allow Vastan to chat with his father in the material world for a while without disturbing the queen. This task is difficult.

But I know it won't trouble you.

Then, the favor old Bwonsamdi owes you will be repaid at this point.

You bastard, although it’s a pleasure to work with you, we are all social beings and understand all the rules, so next time you ask me for help, remember to prepare the reward~"
