Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Haka is dead? What's going on?"

The inexplicable death of a high-ranking demon commander on the battlefield immediately aroused the vigilance of Tichondrius, who was playing a game of "hide and seek" with the wolf god Goldrinn.

Although it is very normal for demons to die in war, it is still unusual for a demon with such powerful power as Haka, the Dog King, to die so quickly.

Although the bastard who is good at flattery and duplicity is not as rough-skinned and fleshy as the abyss lord, nor does he have the cunning magic like Nasrezim, but as the evil lord in the legion who specializes in summoning, he has mastered dog training. Haka, who plays superbly, is never afraid of group battles.

Although the Demon Hound is only a low-level demon, once these crazy evil beasts form a group, they will carry out "wolf pack tactics" under the command of Hakkar. Even if a wilderness demigod attacks it, it should be able to persist until it successfully escapes. .

But Haka's breath disappeared suddenly.

This proves that the idiot was "instantly killed", but how is this possible?

Judging from the power level of the wild demigods currently existing in Azeroth, unless Hakkar runs into a powerful demigod like Goldrinn or Cenarius, it will definitely have the power to fight back.

And the ferocious wolf god Goldrinn was hunting him now. Cenarius was still commanding the army of vegetative people on the edge of the battlefield. Hakkar was the commander and it was impossible for him to go to the front line and fight to the death.

A mysterious guy has sneaked into the battlefield!

Tichondrius instantly guessed the truth.

This made it feel in danger. Hakkar's sudden death was like a wake-up call, making the Dread Lord realize that this battlefield was no longer safe.

But it didn't pull away.

Although demigods and the forest army have joined the battle, the war situation on the Great Plains of Suramar is still that the army has an absolute advantage. If it retreats in this case, Archimonde can take it Take off his head and play it as a ball.

But it is impossible to fear the devil and risk his own life.

Cunning guys always have ways to minimize the threats they encounter. Tichondrius rolled his eyes and turned himself into a flying bat to hide when the wolf god suddenly appeared and bit his wings to pieces. Launched an attack, sneaked into the shadows and began to decisively call for help from the rear.

What should be done in this situation?

The choice of Tichondrius is like a classic non-stick pan. Of course it is a sway.

"Lord Polluter! The Elven Resistance has recruited the Wild Demigods. We still have the advantage, but the stupid Haka died in the demigod attack, and the brainless Rono Korn was entangled by a weird black panther.

I need strong commanders to help me command the army. "

Tichondrius' request for help was sent to the Defiler through the spiritual connection of the great demons of the Burning Legion. Archimonde glanced calmly at Azshara, who was waiting for news not far away.

It shouted in spirit:

"Trash! They are all trash! You have simply embarrassed the invincible legion! A military force that is enough to destroy a small world can't even defeat a group of defeated soldiers?

You should probably commit suicide, Tichondrius. "

"Now is not the time for such talk, Lord Defiler."

Tichondrius was not angry either. He knew what kind of character Archimonde was. Refuting would only make things worse. This cunning guy said in a low voice:

"Suramar has put up a weird shield, and I smell something very similar to the Well of Eternity. That cunning queen did not share all the information with us, sir.

I suspect Azshara is deliberately using us as cannon fodder to consume her disobedient minions. She must know what happened to Suramar.

But that's a good thing! A great thing!

If we capture that city, we can open a second portal for our master, allowing more Legionnaires to enter the world.

At that time, you will also be rewarded by your master for taking over Azeroth alone.

The Legion will prevail, as always, my lord.

But now I really need a few powerful commanders who will not be killed by these damn demigods. Only in this way can we attack Suramar City and seize the magic well. "

"A second magic well?"

Archimonde suddenly narrowed his eyes, feeling that a huge opportunity was right in front of him. Perhaps Azshara had really concealed all this, but that was no longer important.

The big devil sneered a few times in his heart, and calmly issued orders to the high-ranking devil commanders who commanded the armies in other directions.

Soon, on the Great Plains of Suramar, three rotating gates of evil energy burst open with explosions of flames. In the gloomy sky, large burning meteorites fell like rain of fire, causing the newly stabilized The defense line of the Great Temple was attacked again.

A pair of khaki wings that covered the sky spread out in the evil gate. The doomsday overlord Kazzak dragged his heavy sword and stepped out of the portal with a grin. The moment he appeared, a rain of fire filled the sky and ignited the ancient forest army. Trees and tree people.

The two brothers Ursok and Ursol, who were killing demons, turned around and rushed towards the "new" high-level demon. Kazzak was not afraid to carry the Fel Blade and rushed forward to start a fight with the two demigod brothers. Fighting in desperate situation.

Ursok's big claw slapped over and was blocked by Kazak's sword, and the meteorite that fell from it was shattered by the moonlight summoned by the bear-man Ursol who was following Ursok.

The two brothers work perfectly together.

But in terms of absolute strength, they are only a little stronger than Kazak. In addition, the demons around them are constantly used as cannon fodder to consume their combat power, so they will not be able to gain the upper hand in this battle for a while.

The pit lord Khazroga who appeared in other directions was more unlucky.

As soon as this big ass laughed wildly and rushed out of the portal surrounded by the doomsday fire rain, he was hit head-on by the wild boar demigod Agamaggan, who was roaring and bowing his head.

The collision between the two behemoths shook the entire earth, but the Lord of the Abyss, who became more and more courageous as he fought, was very satisfied with the declaration of war by this big wild boar with thick skin and flesh.

It adjusted its steps and regained its footing, not caring at all about the torn heart shield on its chest.

"Your flesh and blood must be delicious when roasted, stupid pig!"

Azgarro waved a vicious halberd in the same style as his boss and challenged the wild boar demigod who was stunned by the collision, but could Agamagagan, with his explosive personality and invincible brute strength, be able to withstand such injustice?

The big wild boar demigod, who was as huge as a hill and wrapped with wild thorn armor, swung its tail and lowered its head. Its body full of muscles was like a tank, and it roared like a cannonball as its hind hooves stirred the earth. He rushed out the same way.

The battle between these two guys has no technical content at all. It is just a straight line of collision and slashing. See who is stronger and whose defense is more stable. At least compared to the last demon king Kurul and Birds who rushed into the battlefield. As far as the battle of Mother Avina is concerned, the battle between Agamaggan and Khazgaro is not interesting to watch.

In the sky, the Mother of Birds set off a torn storm to attack the Dread Demon Lord who flapped his wings and flew into the sky. However, the cunning Kurul did not fight head-on at all. He kept throwing out various curses to make Avina's flying speed faster. Coming slower and slower.

This guy can tell at a glance that among all the demigods currently on the scene, this female bird is the easiest to deal with.

It intends to pick up the slack.

As long as he can kill this weak guy like Avina here, and then return to the legion, Kurul can be promoted from the second-line commander to the first-line.

He is also a legendary demon who has killed demigods.

However, no matter how weak Avina is, she is still a real demigod. The vicious curse alone cannot solve this elegant white harpy. Thinking that time was almost up, Kurul sneered and stepped forward with his sword.

It wants to use its superb and deadly attacks to cut off the wings of Avina who keeps dodging.

Hey, this pathetic harpy can't even fight!

She just kept running away weakly.

waste!

The Demon King thought so.

When it turned into evil flames and smashed down in front of Avina, Kurul was shocked to find that the weak female in front of him was still talking to a guy he couldn't see at all.

"Is it enough to retreat here? Do you want to retreat a few more steps?"

So said the weak mother of birds.

But with the Demon King's perception, he couldn't feel the presence of other people around him at all. This either meant that the mother of birds in front of him had gone crazy or was suffering from incurable schizophrenia.

Or does it mean that he has stepped into a trap?

Damn it!

Kurul instantly realized something was wrong, but when he wanted to escape, it was already too late. The high-ranking demon commander saw a pair of eyes opening in front of him in a trance.

At first, there were gentle eyes as blue as the sea and illuminated by the moonlight, but in the next moment, the whole world was spinning away in confusion in its eyes, and everything was changed.

The day turns into the night sky, and the stars turn into purple.

The whispers chanted by millions of people were like scorching sharp cones piercing into his chaotic thinking, but after the initial severe pain, all his senses became blurred.

Kurul vaguely saw a dim sea of ​​stars opening its arms to him, and countless forbidden truths poured into its mind. Those whispers were teaching him the endless truths of the entire universe.

"Ah, that's it! It's wonderful, I gradually understand everything."

The ferocious Demon King can feel that the truth of everything in the world is opening to him. A path to supreme power has been opened, and he can't help but want to see more.

It opened its arms to the dim stars, and it wanted to embrace the supreme wisdom.

"Give me more!"

It murmured, it roared.

"I want more, please give me more."

It wants to indulge in the gift of truth, it wants to sleep in the warm shadow.

Sorry, Mr. Polluter.

I'm sorry, Lord Sargeras.

but I

I can't go back anymore.

In the material world, the weakest demigod Avina, the Mother of Birds, stared at the demon king Kurul in front of her with wide eyes. The latter shone in front of her with a ferocious attitude and wanted to attack her. Avina He was ready for a fight to the death, but the devil suddenly seemed stupid and opened his arms to the sky as if he wanted to embrace the sun.

"Shgla'yos plahf mh'naus"

It even spoke some weird language that was completely unlike what a demon could speak. The whimpering sound made every feather in Avina's body tremble after hearing it.

Those are taboo words that are hostile to all things.

"What are you waiting for?"

A voice named Lord Moon Shadow sounded in Avina's ears, and he said:

"I've washed the vegetables, cooked them, and brought them to you. Do you still want me to cut up the food and bring it to your mouth? Well, it's not impossible, as long as you deign to become my pet."

"puff"

Avina moved forward quickly.

The sharp bird's claws and legs were like piercing spears, and they clawed hard into the heart of the unsuspecting Demon King Kurul. As the demigod tried desperately to tear him apart, she forcefully clawed out the beating Demon King's heart. .

But what makes Avina feel so frightening is that even if she achieves this step, the superior demon in front of her is still immersed in the illusion of the unknowable abyss.

There was even a weird smile of relief on that ferocious face, like a soul returning to heaven.

The demon king who had lost his heart spun and fell from the sky, and finally hit the dirty ground in front of the ignited forest army. He was trampled by an ancient war tree with a buzzing sound, and soon became one of those disgusting people on the ground. A member of the mincemeat family.

The mother of birds stared dumbly at the beating heart clasped in her bird's claws.

She couldn't help but swallow. At this moment, even the Burning Legion sweeping across the battlefield in front of her became so cute in her eyes.

At least compared to the shadow of the abyss shown to her by that weird voice, the demons who were facing the front also seemed "upright".

"Remember what you promised me."

Lord Moon Shadow said softly:

"Ten thousand years later, I want to see you still active in the sky of Azeroth. If you dare to die inexplicably, then I will also let you experience 'the star rings turn into flesh and blood, and the abyss brings truth' Sweet dreams.

Give these words to the cute, beautiful and arrogant big black cat below, to Aga Magan, and to the other demigods. Your lives are the precious currency I use to buy my future.

You are not allowed to spend it casually without my permission. "

"Your will be obeyed."

Avina didn't know what to say.

She could only answer respectfully, but there was no voice to respond to her humility.

On the battlefield of Suramar, as the demigods who came to support were entangled by the high-level demons summoned one after another, the originally deflected battle situation once again slipped to collapse.

Without the support of demigods, facing the brutal demons coming from all directions, the great temple that was destroyed by the Moon God barrier was reduced to a mess.

The demons have already invaded the ground floor of the temple, and Ravencrest and his soldiers are holding on to the second floor.

Illidan, who was covered in blood, was holding a dying Moon Guard. He wanted to ask, but the veteran shook his head, held Illidan's trembling hand, and whispered:

"Do what you have to do! Remember your oath and do whatever it takes to win!"

"I"

Illidan knew what the veteran meant, but he really didn't want to experience that feeling of despair again. He hesitated and looked at the brutal demons attacking him from all directions.

At this moment, he was questioning himself, if victory could be bought with precious things, how much would he have to pay?

From the current point of view, it is probably not enough for him to fill it all in.

"ah!"

The painful Brother Dan let out a violent roar and grabbed the veteran's neck.

Under the latter's pleased gaze, he activated the forbidden secret technique of the Moon Guard, and a mass of reverberating magic was extracted to bless Illidan. The veteran in his hand stared at the approaching demon with wide eyes, as if he was expecting to see it. A victory.

At the last moment of his life, he saw the recruit rushing towards the demon crazily, like... like the only ray of light shining in the desperate darkness.

bless you.

The brave man who is destined to walk alone.

"We gotta start praying! We gotta pray!"

At the highest point of the crumbling great temple, the weak high-ranking priest Ms. Deyana said to the few remaining priests behind her:

"This is the only thing we can do. The desperate situation has come. Only God can save us."

"But Lady Elune has."

As soon as a priest opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Ms. Dejana. The latter covered her bleeding waist and abdomen and knelt down with difficulty in front of the half-broken statue of the Moon God.

She whispered:

"That little girl reminded us, sisters, Lady Elune blesses all things and saves souls, but the bright light of the Moon God cannot shine on the battlefield.

In this time of despair, we should pray to the darkest and most ruthless moon phase. What we should pray for is not salvation, but fight.

Under the black moon, embrace the glory of battle.

That is not heresy, sisters.

That was the last blessing that Lady Elune gave us, the last dignity of using a sword instead of begging for mercy. Come on, follow me and pray to the Shadow Moon.

Anyway"

Before Ms. Dejana could finish her words, she heard a harsh knock from outside the broken masonry above her head. She raised her head and saw several ugly and ferocious Terror Demons lying there, grinning at them.

The high priest sighed, and she said softly:

"It can't get any worse anyway."
