Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1623 256. Ha, let others slaughter you, this is the fate of the defeated - additional update [2125]

"This land needs to be divided and dismantled, no doubt about it!"

At the edge of the ruined magma pool of Saffron Fortress, apart from the Stone Mother who was still reminiscing about the afterglow of the demigod love she had just witnessed, the Tide Hunter and the Wind Chaser had already begun to discuss the issue of dealing with the Fire Boundary.

The Tide Hunter was as proud as a victor. It leaned on the Abyss Trident and stretched out its hand to draw a circle on the border of the Molten Wilderness in front of it. It said:

"Ragnaros' desperate counterattack has caused part of this pure elemental land to be polluted by the void breath of the Sunless Sea. They must be separated from this burning land, otherwise they will continue to pollute the elemental land of this land. force.

If left unchecked, the entire Fire Realm will suffer. "

"That's right."

The Wind Chaser was suspended in mid-air. It observed from a high position the earth that was no longer burning with flames. After a few seconds, it said in a precise tone:

"The entire Molten Wilds needs to be separated from the main body of the Fire Land. The Flame Hills and Ancient Flame Mountains remain pure, but the Titan Guardians need to collect materials from there.

Perhaps from now on, the entire land of fire will be divided into three.

Three rulers will be born in this land."

Sunderland said in a whimpering tone of the storm, and the next moment, the tide hunter nodded with satisfaction.

Apparently, it was very pleased with Wind Chaser's suggestion.

In order to ensure that the naturally powerful Fire Realm does not give birth to a second troublesome Fire Demon King, dividing this land and maintaining them in a confrontational and divided state is the result that best suits the interests of the other three elements.

It would be better to simply set up several Flame Lords and let them fight among themselves like the Sky Wall under the rule of Al'Akir the Wind Rider.

As worthy of being an elemental monarch born in the Sky Wall, Sunderland's suggestion perfectly fits the strategy of weakening the Land of Fire, which also allows the Tide Hunter to have a better understanding of the political wisdom of the Wind Chaser.

With such a wise guy in charge, it seems that the Sky Wall will be able to return to its former glory sooner or later. He needs to keep an eye on Sunderland.

"Then, Stone Mother, you and your Rock Army will be responsible for splitting up the Fire Land?"

The Tide Hunter and the Wind Chaser discussed for a few more minutes. It turned back and asked the Stone Mother. The Earth Lord, who had always been steady, obviously understood the thoughts of these two guys, but she did not express any objection.

Splitting the Land of Fire was also in Deep Rock Continent's interests, and she had no reason to object.

"I want a piece of it!"

Black sat on the cooling obsidian. He did not comment on the discussion of the elemental monarchs, but after they determined the follow-up treatment method, the pirate immediately spoke:

"I don't want the two good ones, I want the land of flames polluted by the void, which is very suitable for my servants as a long-term settlement.

I want to establish an abyssal cult in this molten wilderness. You can understand it as a group of cultists who serve the "Demon of a Thousand Tongues".

I will even ask the Stone Mother to use the Hammer of Khazgoroth to give me the abyss to shape a permanent isolated mountain range when splitting this land. I don’t want my land to have any intersection with the Lords of Fire. .

You can handle matters regarding your elements within yourselves.

As an ancient god, I am involved in this, and everyone will definitely feel uncomfortable.

I care so much about my friends and my Majesties, and I don't want this to affect our relationship. "

"Can!"

The tide hunter was the first to agree, and said proactively:

"Do you need me to shape the waves surrounding the country for your territory?"

"I can create a sky-covering storm barrier for that small abyss to protect your servants from brutal or elemental attacks."

Wind Chaser also took the initiative to help.

Obviously these two guys really didn't want Black's influence to continue to expand in the Land of Fire, but the Stone Mother, who didn't speak, sensed something was wrong.

The calm elemental monarch glanced at Rukhma, the bird of the sun, who was taking care of her lover behind her, and she said:

"Black's territory has been divided. What about the ownership of the Hill of Fire and the Mountains of Flame? How should we choose the Lord of Fire to rule there?

Are the fire demons, fire eagles and molten giants under Ragnaros' command going to start a civil war? "

"Why not?"

The tide hunter grinned and said in a cold tone:

"Anyway, it has always been the tradition of the fire element that strength is king. Isn't it normal to choose the strongest guy to rule their respective territories? This will also allow the fire elements to transfer their hatred of us to the pursuit of royal power.

This is good for everyone. "

"The four elements must be balanced, Neptulon!"

Shi Mu said dissatisfied:

"Your vicious method will plunge the power of the fire element into chaos. This is only a short-term benefit for us, and you are also laying the foundation for disaster. I hate this short-sighted plan that gives up long-term stability for short-term benefits!"

"Well, I also think Mother Stone is right."

Sunderland shook Thunder's marshmallow-like body and said:

"The Sky Wall has suffered a lot from it. Judging from our experience with the wind element, this kind of continuous internal fighting will not make the elemental power prosper, but will only make it wither.

I don’t want to see the second Ragnaros born, but I also don’t want to see the light of the flame extinguished in this world. The elemental realm is closely related to the world itself. Once the flame is extinguished, Azeroth will also fall into terrible turmoil. .

But the fate of the elemental realm has been bound to world civilization. Their weakness represents our overall weakness. Your Majesty, Tide Hunter, this is indeed not in the interests of the elements. "

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Seeing the Stone Mother and the Wind Chaser unite, the petty Neptulon suddenly felt a little unhappy. He swung his trident in boredom, summoning water to extinguish the surrounding flames, and took great pleasure in doing so.

It says to the other two elemental monarchs:

"We have killed all the servants of the Lord of Fire. The remaining second-rate elemental commanders are not strong enough. Even if you put them on the throne, they will not be able to sit on the throne of the Lord of Flames.

This will also lead to war.

unless"

The Tide Hunter glanced at the Sun Bird in the Fire of Savras, and it glanced meaningfully at Black. The moment the eyes of the pirate met, the two gloomy guys smiled at each other.

Tide Hunter coughed a few times and said:

"Unless there are two legitimate beings who were born in the primordial fire like Ragnaros, who legally have the right to inherit the land of fire, and who can firmly suppress the riots of flame creatures."

"Oh, don't you think this is a coincidence?"

Under the deliberate foreshadowing of the Tide Hunter, the pirate clapped his hands and laughed, saying:

"I happen to have two such beings in my hands."

He waved his hand behind him, pointed at Rukhma and said:

“Although the Sun Bird comes from Draenor, it was resurrected in the Fire Realm, which is equivalent to her rebirth from the original fire. She is a truly pure flame creature.

And not only is she powerful enough, she is also protected by a loyal and cunning old licker, Ansu.

It is fitting that she should serve as the lord of the Ancient Flame Mountains and the Fire Eagles.

Moreover, her recovery was also helped by three elemental monarchs. She owes all of us a great favor, and you can maintain a stable relationship with her.

The most important thing is that Rukhma was once the main god of the arakkoa civilization in Draenor's Sky Peak. She has rich experience in ruling, and the Sky Peak Empire thrived under her protection.

She proved that she had the temperament to lead the rise of the fire element. "

"this."

Although the Stone Mother had guessed Black's plan before, she was still a little hesitant when the pirate actually proposed this suggestion. It seemed a bit against the rules to let an alien demigod serve as an elemental lord or something.

However, seeing that Rukmana and the Fire Eagle of the Land of Fire cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to have a gorgeous appearance carved from the same mold. Let her serve as the lord of the Fire Eagles. It is estimated that the Fire Raptors shaped by Ragnaros Nor will I object.

After all, we are all birds.

It is much more appropriate to let a beautiful foreign bird serve as the leader than to let a nondescript fire element rule the flock of birds.

In addition, Rukhma is a "foreign warrior monk".

She knows nothing about the rules of the Fire Realm and Azeroth. It will probably take many years just to coordinate and rule her own territory, so the elemental monarchs don't have to worry about her power suddenly expanding.

After a few minutes of silence, Black glanced at the Tidehunter. Neptulon nodded slightly and was the first to speak:

"I support Black's suggestion. I think it is most appropriate for Rukhmar, the Sun Spirit, to become the Lord of the Flame Mountains."

"I have no opinion."

Sunderland, the Wind Chaser, controls the storms and the sky. This authority overlaps with Rukhmar's sky domain, which means that Rukhmar and the Sky Wall have common interests.

The two of them could cooperate to a limited extent, so Wind Chaser quickly expressed his approval.

Shi Mu didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

But then Black's proposal made the elemental monarchs break through. After he successfully nominated Rukhmar as the Fire Lord, he pointed at the still unconscious Hisari Black Crow and said:

"Then why not let this Flame Druid leader serve as the lord over the Flame Hill?"

"Are you joking!"

The Tide Hunter, who had been wearing the same pants as Blake just now, couldn't hold back anymore and scolded:

"Forget it about Rukhma, she is an elemental creature after all, but your little lover is a life of flesh and blood! She is also an elf! Although she controls the way of flames, she does not belong to the realm of our elements at all.

You are equivalent to inviting a kobold to be the chief of the mammoths! "

"Your Majesty, your wonderful and strange metaphor really shocked me."

Blake squinted and said:

"Hisali Black Crow has some authority over the Fire of Savras! It was the power she snatched from Ragnaros.

Moreover, she was transformed into a semi-elemental life as early as during the Flame Rebirth Ceremony. Rounding it off, she can be considered a person in your elemental world.

Why can't he be the Lord of Flames?

And the Ravens have deep ties to the Cenarion Circle.

While she walks in flames, she is also a believer in life. With her in charge of the Hill of Flames, apart from other things, at least you don’t have to worry about elemental peace.

Perhaps the Hill of Flames will become a famous 'neutral zone' in the elemental world in the future. Believe me, with the way the druids think, they can definitely do such a thing.

There must be a channel of communication between the four elemental realms, and wars in the new era cannot be fought undeclared. When you have friction, you will realize how wonderful my suggestion is.

Your Majesty Stone Mother, what do you think? "

The pirate turned to look at Shi Mu, his eyes were full of meaning, but Shi Mu didn't speak at this moment. She was trying to strengthen her mind and refuse the pirate's vicious and very tempting proposal.

To be honest, having Thessaly Black Crow become the second Flame Lord is really significant for Deepholm.

The second daughter of the Stone Mother is the daughter-in-law of Cenarius, the only spiritual leader of the Cenarion Circle. This means that Deep Rock Island and the Cenarion Circle are "ourselves" in a sense.

At least compared to the other two elemental monarchs, the druids will definitely look to the Stone Mother for help when they encounter trouble.

In other words, if Thessaly Black Crow, who was born in the Cenarion Circle, becomes the Fire Lord, then the Stone Mother will have the best channel to intervene in the development of the Fire Realm.

But the Stonemother knew full well the vicious nature of Black's proposal.

Once she expresses her attitude and agrees with Black Crow as the Lord of Flame, it means that the order of the elemental world will no longer be pure.

The birth of the first Elf Flame Lord is just the beginning. Perhaps there will be such outrageous things as human Flame Lords and Dwarf Flame Lords in the future.

The order of the elemental world should be controlled by the elements.

Just when Stone Mother was hesitating, Blake added another shocking tip. He said in a long voice:

"You also know that Hisari Black Crow has a complicated relationship with me. Just now, in order to save her from the burning fire of Savras, I have used a secret method to combine the priesthood of the Fire Demon King with the mystery of the Fire King. given to her.

In other words, when Black Crow wakes up, she will become the Queen of Fire who truly walks the path of the elements. Whether you are willing to appoint her as the Lord of the Hill of Fire or not, she already possesses the de facto priesthood of the Elemental Monarch. .

If you don't agree, I can only give up the arrogant idea of ​​cultivating a Fire Lord.

But due to the priesthood that Black Crow has mastered, even if she doesn't want to, she will continue to draw power from the Fire Realm.

When the time comes, the Flame Lord you support will not be able to sit firmly on the throne. In order to regain its power, it will even launch a war with the Flame Druids and the Cenarion Circle.

You will all be involved. "

The pirate shrugged and said:

“So why bother?

I know you are worried that I will interfere with the order of the elemental kingdom, but with my good relationship with you, maintaining the existing order is obviously more profitable for me.

I'm not a lunatic, why should I challenge your majesty?

And I think we can’t look too far ahead when looking at the problem now. After all, you all know that the devil is about to attack. Whether you can survive this wave is another matter.

The Titan Guardians maintained peace with the Elemental Realms on the basis that they wanted to see the elementals join the war against the demons should the world be invaded.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to restore the strength of the most capable fire elements.

As for the future order, let’s wait until later.

From what I see, the merging of druids with the element of fire is bound to bring about new avenues of power, which can do no harm to the elemental and material worlds.

In fact, hasn't Deep Rock Continent also begun to try to integrate the earth element with the way of life? "

The pirate pointed at Hamuul Rune Totem. He glanced at the Stone Mother. The Queen of Deep Rock Island seemed to be convinced. After a few seconds, she nodded and said:

"I agree with Black's proposal. Hisari Black Crow can become a peaceful Flame Lord. What do you two think?"

"The remaining Fire of Savras is jointly kept by the three of us!"

Seeing that it was helpless, the Tide Hunter glanced at Black and made a request:

"When things are really critical, the power of the Primordial Fire can be shared, but in order to avoid the emergence of a second brutal Ragnaros, the Primordial Fire must be properly preserved before peace is completely achieved in the Land of Fire!"

"I agree!"

Wind Chaser nodded while holding the holy blade, and Stone Mother also nodded.

Blake didn't even have any objections.

Regardless of whether it is Rukhmar or Hisari Black Crow, their strength is far from enough to control more primitive fires. Rather than letting this crap thing be remembered by careerists, it is better to leave it to the three-element monarch for preservation.

There are many people in this world who can defeat one elemental monarch, but those who can handle three at the same time are very rare.

"It's settled!"

Blake snapped his fingers and said:

"Based on the Saffron Fortress, the Holy Hall of Flame was created to preserve the power of the original fire. When the real Lord of Fire appears in the next era, three people will evaluate her potential and prestige.

You decide for yourself what is going on between your elements, and I will not interfere anymore.

Of course, I will be very disappointed if I don’t see the three of them on the battlefield against demons. So, let’s just settle on this? "
