Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Sister, are you at home? I'll come back to pick up some clothes."

In the darkness of the night, Jarod Shadowsong jumped off the saddle of his Black Panther, and while taking out the key from under the third flowerpot at the door with ease, he shouted towards the ancestral home.

He was not in a very good mood at this time.

He originally wanted to join the vanguard of Zin-Azshari, but Lord Ravencrest asked him to lead a hunter force to Black Crow Keep.

Instead of joining the front line, he was transferred to the rear. Perhaps others saw this as preferential treatment from the great lord to young people, but after all, Jarod was a young man with a lot of ambition.

He didn't want to make great achievements, but he wanted to end this damn disaster and dispute with his own hands.

But military orders are military orders, and Garrod can't resist them.

Moreover, he now indeed shoulders the important responsibility of liaison between the resistance army, the demigod family and the dragon army. The arrangement of the big lord cannot be miscalculated. If a talent like him dies fighting on the front line, the entire resistance army will be seriously injured. .

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Jarod took the key and walked up the steps, but he vaguely heard a strange sound coming from the house. His sister seemed to be in pain, and he tightened his heart and immediately grasped the long sword at his waist.

When I came back just now, I heard from the brother in charge of the Sky Knight that Azshara had sent many demons who were good at concealment and assassination around Suramar, and even assassins raised by the upper elf nobles.

He is now worried about his sister's safety.

He only has this one sister!

But when Jarod was about to draw his sword, he suddenly heard a strange noise in the grass next to him.

He looked back warily and saw a little murloc wearing strange-looking armor standing in the grass carrying a murloc trident with the power of the elements. It held a half-gnawed chicken leg in its claws. , and the cute big eyes are shining with the light of watching the fun.

Perhaps it was Jarod's illusion. He felt that this strange fishman wanted him to open the door and rush in at this moment.

"Are you Mr. Black's pet?"

But Jarod is no fool.

Although he has never seen the little fishman, he heard Shaohao and the Monkey King tell him about the "little follower" beside Mr. Black. It is said that this fishman has been working with Black since a very early age.

Although it looks harmless on the outside, it possesses strange powers.

The Monkey King swore to tell Jarod that it had personally seen this little guy carrying a cloth bag to steal Ursoc's holy relics in the Emerald Dream.

A fish-man who is not even afraid of the wild demigods is definitely no longer an ordinary fish-man.

And Mr. Black's pet was standing guard outside his ancestral house this night like a guard, which was a bit scary to think about.

"Mr. Black is in there?"

Jarod guessed the truth of the matter as soon as his eyes rolled.

Anger welled up in his heart. This bastard evil god actually dared to bully his sister. Does he really think that the sword in the hand of a high-ranking commander of the resistance army was disadvantageous?

But the next moment, the angry young man snorted, put his sword back into its scabbard, turned around neatly, walked back to his black panther, and said to the little fish man:

"Tell my sister and brother-in-law that I went to Black Crow Castle and I probably won't come back for a long time. Remember to take the message with you, you damn happy fish."

"Quack"

The little fishman who didn't see the excitement was very unhappy and threw half a chicken leg at the coward Jarod.

It jumped up and down in anger, waving its fists and screaming.

Sister You was bullied by stinky pirates inside! Don't you, my younger brother, even have the courage to break open the door and beat up the stinky pirate? Hey~ Even the fishmen think you are too cowardly!

Don't leave, you bastard!

Now that you're gone, I'm going to stay here all night. Can you make some trouble quickly and let me go out for a walk at night?

Unfortunately, although Jarod is extremely talented in diplomacy, he is not a genius who can understand the fish-people language. After all, the world was not divided ten thousand years ago, and the continent and the ocean were naturally isolated. It only exists in places with many river systems on the mainland.

"Ouch"

Jarod's black panther mount was also unscrupulous. It caught the chicken leg that the little murloc threw at it, chewed it and swallowed it, and then jumped out into the night under the command of its master to tighten the reins.

On the stable saddle of the Black Panther, Jarod looked back at the ancestral home behind him, and the anger in his heart had calmed down.

Even a little lucky.

My sister always has a cold face outside, and she only has a few friends in the Moon Temple. Over the years, many people have wanted to fall in love with her, including some nobles in the city, but she has declined them all.

He has also been worried about his sister's life events, but it is difficult to talk about such things as a younger brother. Moreover, his sister behaves very decently in front of others, but she beats her brother mercilessly.

It's a good thing to have someone who can catch my sister's eye now. With Mr. Black's ruthless and crazy style of acting, my sister will definitely not be bullied.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Jarod walked up the steps to open the door, he had a feeling that if he forced the door open.

He will definitely die.

The feeling of death at that moment made the young man's heart beat wildly.

As for whether her sister was forced, there is no need to consider it. Maiev Shadowsong is the priestess of Elune, and the moon god will not allow this kind of thing to happen to her priest.

Throughout the thousands of years of history of the Elven Empire, the graves of the old buddies who dared to touch the priests have almost grown into a big forest. It is true that the Sisters of Elune are a charity that even Queen Azshara must take seriously. Organization?

But what happened that night was not just that Maiev found the love of her life.

At dawn, the priests of Suramar's Moon Temple followed the first group of guards back to Black Crow Keep and left the city protected by the Nightwell's shield.

Tyrande Windspeaker is also on the team.

As Elune's chosen one to perform miracles in this era, the young priest has been unanimously recognized by the Sisters of Elune in the past few days.

Originally, this "certification" speed was not so fast, but now is the time of war. The resistance army commanded by Lord Ravencrest needs support from the night elf civilians. As the representative of civilian power, the Church of the Moon must also actively support the resistance against the demons. A just cause against a tyrant.

The Oracle of the Moon conveyed by Blake's "message" has been dropped in the Moon Temples across the empire. Coupled with the appearance of the Chosen in Suramar City, the Sisters of Elune have also determined the Taipei at a speed different from the past. Rand Windspeaker assumed the position of "High Priest of the Moon".

This is the title of the nominal religious leader of the Luna Church.

In normal times, this position is vacant, and church affairs are handled by the high-ranking priests of the Sisters of Elune. However, in times of war, the church also needs a leader to calm people's hearts.

With the combined efforts of several people, young Tyrande was pushed to a high position, so fast that Tyrande himself was caught off guard.

At this moment, she set off on the saddle of a white moonsaber, and was discussing some matters with her mentor, Ms. Diana, surrounded by high-ranking priests.

Mostly Diana was talking and Tyrande was listening.

Although the Sisters of Elune are a religious organization, they are also divided into factions.

Don't think that the elves don't engage in politics. Just look at the overt and covert struggles between the royal party and the parliamentary faction in Quel'Thalas ten thousand years later. You will know that this thing is the "national quintessence" of the elves, and the ancestral race is the "national one" in this regard. Senior master".

"Don't be too afraid, Tyrande."

Ms. Diana spent some time telling her disciples about the factional disputes within the sisterhood. Seeing the complicated look in young Tyrande's eyes, the high-ranking priest sighed, looked at the night around him and said softly:

"Compared with Azshara's court, the disputes within the sisterhood are not so fierce and dark. More of the differences come from conflicts of doctrinal interpretations.

The clergy are always simpler than the nobles.

But you are the chosen one of the Moon God, my disciple.

Whether you are willing or not, you legally have the right to interpret secular teachings for Lady Elune. Perhaps under your leadership, the Sisters of Elune will unite.

But you need to use your power carefully.

You have to remember that believers of the Moon God are all over this country, and any decree you make will directly affect the lives of tens of thousands of people. "

The high-ranking priest looked at her disciple and encouraged her in a low voice:

"You are not the emperor of the world, but in the glory of Elune, even Azshara must be courteous to you."

It's okay that Ms. Diana didn't say this, but when she said it, Tyrande's mood became more complicated. To be fair, how could she, a commoner girl who was born and raised in Suramar, think about these things?

Before becoming the chosen god, Tyrande's biggest wish was to become the chief priest of a moon temple somewhere in the future, but like a dream, she became the master of all moon temples in the empire in the blink of an eye.

At least he is the nominal owner.

"It's too complicated, Master."

Tyrande rides on her moonsaber.

This beautiful big cat also seemed to feel the owner's irritability, and it whimpered in a low voice. In fact, it was not just Tyrande who was irritated, but also the big moonsaber leopard cat that Tyrande had raised since childhood.

The power of the Chosen One wraps around it, making every mane of it shine with light. In the past few days, I can't even sleep well. When I open my eyes at night, I will be startled by my glowing self.

"I think the most important thing now is to help Lord Ravencrest win this war."

Tyrande said to his mentor.

But before she could finish her words, a piercing howl exploded high in the night sky, causing the young priest to look up suddenly.

The next moment, Tyrande's eyes tightened.

In her sight, a swarm of black flying monsters were flying down from the night sky, a rotating portal of evil energy hung high in the clouds, and the crazy thugs born from the twisted void screamed and wanted to taste flesh and blood.

"Enemy attack!"

The Huntress Commander who was leading the advance shouted.

The elite Black Crow Guards immediately took out their war bows and fired crossbows into the sky. The casters in the team also opened their shields and threw dazzling fireballs into the sky.

But the counterattack was a bit hasty.

The soldiers did not expect that there were demons who dared to jump out and cause trouble in the territory of the wilderness demigods so close to the Great Forest of Val'sharah.

And this group of demons was obviously well-prepared. They summoned a large number of magic bats to scatter the army below, and some ferocious horror demons threw a group of shadow arrows like crazy.

In the midst of the chaos, several bulky doomsday guards rushed towards the center of the team carrying great swords of destruction.

Their target is obviously Tyrande Windspeaker, the chosen god of Elune.

"Damn it!"

Diana, the high-ranking priest next to Tyrande, realized something was wrong. She glanced at the chaotic scene around her and saw a priest with red eyes piercing his companion's body with a sharp blade. She then protected Tyrande who grabbed the bow. Rand stepped back and prayed to the dim moonlight tonight:

"There is a traitor in the church! Dear Elune, the demons have corrupted your maids. Please bring down the wrath of the Moon God."

The moonlight swayed and heard the priest's prayer. In the floating stars and moon, rays of hot and bright moonfire light fell from the sky, shooting down those ugly demons in the air.

Tyrande also raised his bow and shot a sharp arrow.

She didn't even need to pray. Every time she drew the bow string, bright moonlight would cling to the arrows, and she would shoot the burning and righteous arrows of the Moon God.

Lower-level demons will die if touched, and upper-level demons will also be burned and scream.

"Dolisul, go quickly! Ask the King of the Forest for help."

Seeing that there were more and more demons, Tyrande raised his hand and called to his companions. A moon-white owl with blood-stained talons flew rapidly towards the Val'sharah Forest ahead under the instructions of its owner.

At this distance, as long as the troops can hold on for a while, natural legions will immediately come to support them.

The good news is that Lord Ravencrest's legion is very powerful, and the elven veterans who have fought against demons have a morale bonus and are not afraid of these otherworldly destroyers.

The bad news is that the devil comes prepared.

The goal was clear from the beginning.

"ah"

Diana, a high-ranking priest who constantly summoned moonfire to attack demons, was stabbed in the back by the Dreadlord who emerged from the shadows.

These cunning assassins were vicious in their methods. They chopped off claws wrapped in evil energy and pierced the shoulders of the priestess, and then flapped their bat wings and dragged her into the sky.

The miserable scream made Tyrande, who was killing demons, suddenly turn around.

"Put her down!"

The Chosen One screamed and drove the Moon Saber to rush forward, chasing the Dreadlord who had taken his mentor away from the defensive circle. The Huntress Commander was so anxious that she personally led people to chase him out to protect the Chosen One.

But it was too late.

Several eredar wizards who had been waiting for a long time jointly threw teleportation magic to force Tyrande to leave the area. The loyal moonsaber Ashara roared and threw his master away, and he was there. He was blown away by the tear in the teleportation light curtain.

But before Tyrande could stand up after being knocked dizzy, a wailing Doom Guard flapped its wings and flew over. He dropped the Great Sword of Destruction, grabbed Tyrande's shoulders with both hands, and rushed into the sky, spinning her around. Flashed through the door of evil energy.

"No! Mindo!"

An elf girl holding a war bow and wearing leather armor shouted to the sky in despair. She wanted to chase her out but was blocked by the hunters around her.

Everyone fell silent at this moment.

God's choice.

The Chosen One who was about to become the High Priest of the Moon was captured by the devil!

Elune is here.

At this time, Illidan Stormrage, who was hunting demons under the mountains in another section of the Great Plains of Suramar, suddenly felt uneasy. Wearing a black eye patch, he turned his head to "look" at the distant sky.

There was a fixed point of moonlight flashing past there, but it was a pity that the blind man could not see the light.

He always felt that something terrible had happened, but for a hunter, such a trance was fatal.

Gangerg Molten, who was chasing Illidan, noticed the mistake of the hunter behind him, turned around and laughed, and used the fel hand cannon modified on his arm to kill him.

But it underestimated the deadly speed of the demon hunter. The fel cannon left a ferocious scorch mark on Illidan's chest, but the demon hunter's figure had fallen from above like a preying spider, lying on this disgusting demon. behind.

Brother Dan grinned and activated the secret technique of absorbing evil energy. The evil marks on his body shone at this moment, and the rolling evil energy was extracted, causing the devil to kneel to the ground in pain.

It seems to be begging for mercy.

But unfortunately, this hunt takes no prisoners.

There was a loud "bang", and at the moment when the last trace of evil energy was captured, the demon's body exploded into fly ash, and there was a twisted skull in Brother Dan's hand that exuded anxiety.

He felt something itchy on his forehead, and when he reached out and touched it, he discovered that there were two small devil horns growing there. This was because the body had begun to mutate again due to excessive evil energy.

But Illidan didn't care.

He dropped the scorched skull in his hand and used hunter sense to find the moon blade he was using, but the thing had been melted by the evil beam, which made Brother Dan frown.

He became more and more proficient in using the power of the Demon Hunter, but the lack of good weapons greatly weakened his lethality.

perhaps

It's time to contact the disgusting Black and get some weapons from him for temporary use.
