Shadow Trails in Azeroth

What happened here in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms?

It's very simple, Setting Sun Pass was breached.

Well, it's not quite right to say that it was breached. With the help of the Warsong Orcs and the Tauren Warriors of Blood Totem, and with the Supreme God sitting here, this ancient pass could hold on even in the face of the fierce attack of the Mantid Fortress Worm Lord. down.

However, in addition to attacking the city wall head-on, the cunning mantids also sent elite teams to sneak in from high altitudes and on the ground.

As the core area of ​​Pandaria, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms is protected by a seal known as the "Gate of the Gods", which prevents all outside creatures from entering it through ordinary means.

But the Mantid had help this time. The Corruptor's cultist servants used very evil spells and seemed to have asked for the Corruptor's divine help.

In short, in the early morning hours one day after the defeat of the Mantid Queen's faction, a large hole was opened in the Celestial Barrier covering the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Now even though the Setting Sun Pass still stood, it could no longer stop the elite team led by the mantid heroes from crossing the border.

This news was immediately conveyed to the other gods by Zhuhe Tianzun who was sitting at Setting Sun Pass. When they could no longer prevent the mantid from infiltrating, the four gods decided to completely open the seal of the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

They will lead the victorious pandaren army into the sacred Vale of Eternal Blossoms, where they will fight to the death with the last mantid faction.

Of course, this is an obvious statement, to boost the morale of the pandaren monks.

The real reason that made the Four Heavenly Gods make up their minds so quickly is simple. Through the reminder of "Prophet" Black, they already knew what terrible things were buried under the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

They cannot allow the Dark Heart of Y'Shaarj to fall into the hands of another Old God.

Once the power of the most powerful ancient god is seized by the Corruptor, not only Pandaria, but the entire world will fall into the nightmare frenzy set off by N'Zoth.

Once the most cunning ancient god possesses the most powerful power, it means that the end of Azeroth is coming before the demons arrive.

However, despite the great advantage of this group of cultists who rushed into the Valley of Eternal Blossoms first, they are also very, very nervous now, even more nervous than the pursuers who may appear behind them at any time.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

The former Chief Priest of the Church of Storms and the Dark Judge of N'Zoth, Xanaish, is riding on the back of a mantid hero. She wears a dark hood and is surrounded by a light blue aura of evil energy.

This is because the residual power of Y'Shaarj makes this cruel and sadistic woman's mind wander, and she looks around nervously, for fear that an assassin will suddenly jump out next to her.

She kept urging the mantid hero "Windreaver" Kil'ruk under her to speed up and fly deeper into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

The ancient and beautiful scenery around her, the majestic palaces built on the mountaintops in the distance, and the peaceful atmosphere of this golden valley could not stop her.

She was like a panicked mouse being chased by a cat, filled with an air of impatience.

This made the mantid champions look down upon him.

The Windreaver hero flying with Shanesh let out a shocking scream, and the powerful mantid warrior sarcastically said in a weird tone:

"Are all the servants of N'Zoth such timid beings? What broke your cruel and dark heart? Female, you seem to be very scared, which is not consistent with the unruly posture when you woke me up. .

I can even smell your weakness

sad!

You are as pathetic as the god you believe in. "

"What do you know, you bug?"

The Dark Judge said to the powerful Wind Reaver impatiently in a very gloomy tone:

"I wasn't sure before, after all, I just saw the damn ship, but the defeat of Shake'hir sounded the alarm for me, and the war I carefully planned ended in one day.

This once again proved how terrifying that man was.

And now, I can be sure that all our actions are in his expectation, like a hunting net that has been opened, you and me, everyone is acting under his watch.

Soon he will emerge from the shadows you least expected, the proud Windreaver, and then you will understand the source of my fear.

I don't want to explain too much to you.

We must get the Dark Heart of Y'Shaarj and get it out of Pandaria before that man appears.

As I declared to your elders, after the Corruptor seizes the power of the Heart of Darkness, it will be reborn as Y'Shaarj.

You will take back your dark master, and we will get the world.

The premise is that we have to survive that man's conspiracy. "

"I'm becoming more and more interested in the 'him' you talk about."

Kil'ruk the Windreaver let out the characteristic humming laughter of the mantid.

As this powerful hero flew through the air at lightning speed, he used his insect arms to hold the two curved amber daggers hanging at his waist.

There are sickle blades on its arms that are opening and closing like a closed sickle. Obviously, the warriors of the insect swarm who have just returned to this era from ancient times and continue to serve their faith have developed a desire to challenge.

As the greatest warrior of its time, it was disdainful of the dark and cruel woman it carried, not only for her moodiness, but also for her chaotic and crazy soul.

If the elders hadn't already reached an agreement with her, the Wind Reaver would have wanted to get rid of this crazy scum himself.

Well.

The heroic hero of the Wind Reaver is rather strange. It is a rare "insect knight" among the mantids.

Compared to other mantids, its character is gentle. It likes to fight against strong men and enjoys the pure joy of fighting, but it never kills those weaklings who have no power.

This once made it denounced as a coward in its era, but Kil'ruk still convinced all those who doubted it with its unparalleled combat skills and powerful strength.

Although all heroes have accomplished incredible feats in their own time, Kil'ruk the Windreaver is still the most unique among all heroes due to his unique style.

Now seeing the cruel and tyrannical Dark Judge fearing a man so much, the Wind Reaver also felt a surge of curiosity.

"You'd better put aside your boring competitive spirit, Windreaver."

Yingjie's emotions were quickly sensed by Xia Naish.

As the carrier of the Sha of Pride, she was endowed with the peculiar ability to sense emotions. The dark judge moved his fingers, turning black balls of void power into balls that danced on his fingertips.

This is her unique way of decompressing.

She said to the Windreaver:

"I know that the battle with other heroes against Grom Hellscream at Setting Sun Pass made you high-spirited, but I want to tell you that compared to Black Shaw, Grom is just a reckless man with power.

The oppression he can bring to you is not even one-tenth of that stinky pirate.

He will never fight openly with you. Once he appears in front of you, it means that you have been bound by his dark wisdom.

Like a lamb to the slaughter.

Countless people despised him just like you, and the bones of those people have piled up into a mountain.

The Destroyer, the Defiler, the Hell Queen, the Nightmare Lord. His glorious achievements are filled with the names of great people that you can't imagine, and even the supreme Corruptor has suffered bitter consequences at his hands.

The sleeping city of Ny'alotha, which is sacred and eternal and full of endless truth, was destroyed in his hands. On the day when the holy city collapsed, I was captured by fear and hid in the darkness, trembling and crying like a shameful little girl. Runny nose.

I lost my faith in gods for a while.

You will not understand the fear that man brings to us, because you have never fought against him. We are all followers of the ancient gods. I wish you never to encounter him.

If even the Corruptors must keep away from him, then we humble servants will not be ashamed to avoid him. "

"Shameful remarks, you look like a wolf of darkness, but now you speak like a dog in front of me."

Wind Reaver sneered:

"But the courage of the heroes is beyond your understanding. You worship the Corruptor only for power, but our devotion to the ancient lord comes from the soul.

You are just a bunch of rabble, but Yingjie is not!

Powerful heroes are never afraid of challenges. We will face all enemies and defeat them! Just like the violent orc before, just like Black Shaw next. "

"hehe."

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh has completely lost interest in talking to the mantid.

Good words can't persuade a damn devil.

She looked left and right, and after repeatedly checking that there was no other presence in her shadow, she pulled down her hood and said in a cold tone:

"You are free to seek death, but the Heart of Darkness must be obtained. This is related to our common interests. Move forward! Under the mountain in front, the power sensed by the Corruptor is there!

The heart of darkness sleeps there in time. The ancient power will be revealed today, and the world will once again be shrouded in the smoke of despair.

Let your bugs gather here, we must dig it out as soon as possible.

time

Time is not on our side. "

Under Xianesh's urging, Wind Reaver no longer refuted.

Although it hates these cultists, the remains of the ancient sages are right in front of it. As the most loyal group of people among the mantids, they will welcome the dark lord back to the world even if they endure humiliation and cooperate with the devil.

This is the meaning of the mantid's great reincarnation, which lasts for thousands of years.

As for the heroes, these are the most brilliant beings that can be born from the endless swarm of mantid insects. Their existence has surpassed the meaning of the existence of the mantid empire itself.

They are not serving the Great Queen.

They serve reincarnation itself and the obscure prophecies left by ancient sages.

"Buzz buzz"

Under the guidance of the Dark Judge, the Wind Reaver accurately landed under the mountain range where the Heart of Darkness is located. It took out a strange amber tuning fork from its waist.

It held the thing high, reached out and flicked it gently.

The high-speed vibrating tuning fork immediately sent out a sound wave message that only the mantid could receive. Soon, the elite mantid army followed the heroes and infiltrated into the Valley of Eternal Blossoms from different directions and flew in from all directions.

One after another, tall heroes descended from the sky.

Among them are top tacticians, genius alchemists, invisible cruel assassins and invincible ferocious warriors, hunters who tame terrifying insects, snipers who can pierce through the enemy with a hundred steps, powerful spellcasters and vicious warlocks.

They are witnesses to every era in the mantid's tens of thousands of years of reincarnation.

In front of these twelve heroes, the army of the Great Queen Xia Keshier is as fragile as a group of low-level rabble. As long as they are willing, they can even overturn Xia Keshier's royal power overnight.

"The Lord of Darkness lies ahead, my mighty and glorious brothers."

Kil'ruk the Windreaver raised his hands and called to the other heroes:

"Come on, our birth, growth, fighting and waiting are all for this moment. Come on, brothers, we will welcome the ancient venerable back to this world with our own hands."

"Well, you did well and you said well."

The leader of the heroes, the mantid Korvan, known as the "Supreme One", held the beautiful and deadly scarlet crescent amber ax on his waist. Its mouthparts vibrated and looked at the Dark Judgment with an unfriendly look. Shanesh and her fallen minions.

It clearly distrusted these followers of N'Zoth, but it ultimately did not give the order to attack.

The first hero in history waved his hand and said:

"Start digging! Find the heart of the ancient sage as quickly as possible. Operator, you and your pets will be responsible for the excavation work, and the others will lead our troops to guard on all sides.

The pandaren and their false gods won't let us get the job done so smoothly, but we won't allow them to interfere with the return of the Ancient Ones! "

"Can I kill everyone I see?"

Behind the Supreme, a smaller but irritable and somewhat nervous guy kept opening and closing the scythe on his arm. It asked in a bloodthirsty voice.

"Of course you can feast, glutton."

Korvan the Supreme waved his hand.

Like a perfectly coordinated machine, the heroes quickly dispersed in all directions according to the order, and a hero who looked like a spellcaster summoned a huge terror insect, which was the larvae of the fortress bug.

It swung its thick and powerful sickle-shaped forelimbs like a Qiraji armored beetle. It struck three times and blasted several cracks on the mountain wall in front of it.

The other mantids rushed forward with tools in hand and dug out the cracks. The excavation efficiency was astonishingly high. In just ten minutes, a tunnel leading to the underground was opened for more than 20 meters.

This scene made the dark judge who was watching very satisfied.

She grabbed the ball of darkness in her hand and glanced in the direction of the Gate of the Gods.

The worry in her heart was still there. When she turned around, she saw that the group of Blood Sail pirates who had followed them were still drinking and having fun. This made Xianesh feel a cruel rage in her heart.

She swung the ball of void in her hand and hit the trash, and shouted loudly:

"Drink, drink, drink! You know how to drink all day long! You incompetent wastes! Black Shaw is following us, are you still in the mood to have fun?

Your life is almost gone, you bastards!

Go dig it for me quickly! Otherwise, I'll throw you in front of Two-Face and see how your 'fellow pirates' will 'receive' you. "

As soon as they heard Blake's name, these Bloodsail pirates who had just been yelling suddenly became dejected. They didn't dare to refute, so they grabbed their tools and joined the army of digging holes.

They may not be afraid of the Corruptor's cultists, after all, they are also part of the Corruptor's force, but they cannot resist their fear of "Two-Face".

The terrible N'Zoth wants only their souls.

But what Black can torture is everything they have.

Pooh!

What a vicious, greedy bastard, what a pirate par excellence.
