(Additional update for brother "Huo Zhengtinghao" [2/15])
In the dark forest of Spires of Arak, there is an abnormal gathering of Fallen Arakkoas.
Looking down, there are flocks of crows, ravens and Draenor's unique "Dread Raven" flying around in the panic-stricken night, like a storm of birds brewing.
And when Nellie raised her head, the legendary hunter's super vision allowed her to clearly see the sky above Tongtian Peak, which shone brightly in the dark night. The Kali birds, which were regarded as "fellow species" by the high-level arakkoa, were also gathering abnormally.
Those brightly colored raptors that look like a mix of owls and eagles also seem to feel some kind of "calling".
Their collective chirping completely tore apart the tranquility of the night. Nellie even saw the rare Sunfire Kali bird, leading the Kali bird to fly around the city at high speed like a flying fireball in the night.
Reshad specially introduced this kind of Kaliri to outsiders like them.
These noble birds of prey, whose wings and feathers are embellished like flames, are said to come directly from the bloodline of Sun God Rukhmar. They are the most ferocious predators among Spires of Arak. Once they appear in large numbers, they will be regarded as a sign of some kind of change by high-level Arakkoa.
Just looking at this scene, anyone with any brains knows that something big will happen tonight!
After Terokk and its daughter appeared as Radiant Body, tonight's protagonist finally appeared.
"Your words are enough."
Facing Talon King's response, Diakum nodded, but in the next second, he reminded softly:
"Anzu worked hard and was even willing to bow to the demigods of the alien race to bring you back from the darkness. I hope you can use your majesty and wisdom to bridge the blood feud between the two races Arakkoa. You are the co-owner of the two races, how can you artificially create a rift among the people?"
"Huh?"
Terokk looked at Vigilant in surprise, and then heard Vigilant say:
"High-level Arakkoa's self-proclaimed nobility has long been tainted by their ignorance and barbarism. Fallen Arakkoa should no longer label itself with the despicable anger of depravity. Perhaps it is time to give your citizens a new title and class according to the birth of Arakkoa Origin.
Sunfire Arakkoa and Arakkoa of the Midnight.
Just as Sun God Rukhmar and Midnight Raven God Anzu control day and night respectively, your country should also pursue the path of equality. When Sunfire Arakkoa controls the sky, Arakkoa of the Midnight can also walk in the shadows to clear away enemies on the ground for your country."
"Yes, Father King."
Princess Lacey shook her feathers with exaggerated and beautiful brilliance and flames, and whispered to her meditating father:
"Before you and I were in trouble, weren't you trying your best to bridge the grievances and antagonisms between the tribesmen? The alien Saint's proposal is excellent, and we should set an example. More importantly, if Arakkoa of the Midnight is corrupted and wants to return to his former home, then Skyreach should not only belong to the wings of Kaliri.
We should open this Rukhmar city to the people of Anzu!"
"You have a common enemy, and that's the best way to create unity."
Archbishop Nali reminded from the side:
"Please don't forget that the evil spirit of Cursed Wings who once tried to murder Sun God is still entrenched in Sethekk Hollow, using its malice to turn into rain of blood to stain and distort Arakkoa. You should follow the example of your ancestors and unite!
Use a joint war between Sunflare and Midnight to completely destroy the final curse of Sethe, thereby laying the foundation for unity in the new era of Skyreach."
"And that Claw Pseudo-King Aegis!"
Yura, who didn't mind watching the excitement, came over and suggested to the two Arakkoa kings who were extremely beautiful in her eyes:
"We heard from Reshad that some Fallen Arakkoa chose to embrace darkness. They formed Claw Court on their own and also hooked up with Shadow Council. How is this allowed?
There are no two days in the sky! There are no two masters in the people!
Your noble Majesty Terokk, you should immediately kill the false king to show your majesty as a king!"
"We can talk about these later"
Terokk raised his head and looked at Arak the sharp and cloudy sky.
This gloomy place is completely different from the sun-drenched hometown in its memory, making it dissatisfied, and the painful memories of the past have been brought back again. The fanaticism given after Lightforging has aggravated this anger. It must release it in order to better rule its lost kingdom.
It snapped:
"Let us wait to recover Skyreach tonight! My alien friends, I invite you as fellow travelers of the K'ure Alliance to witness with me the glorious arrival of Sun God and Midnight Raven God, and our wings will all return to the righteous faith!"
"Are you the only one?"
Yrel said with some worry:
"Perhaps you should summon your loyal friends first? It's not that I don't trust your fighting ability. After all, you were able to defeat the entire Blade Tooth Tiger-Man warlords of Bloodmane Valley with one person hundreds of years ago, but"
"Who said I was alone? A king never walks alone!"
Terokk Raise your wings.
Under the Radiant Holy Sigil bright Gleam under its own wings, the entire Spires of Arak night seemed to be shaking at this moment.
The neighing of ravens and crows was everywhere, and the neighing of thousands of birds converged into the midnight song and the storm that swept across the sky. As everyone watched in shock, the black crow feather miracle descended at this moment.
The petite, noisy crows flapped their wings and flew around the periphery. The larger shadow ravens served as the backbone of this crow feather storm, while the huge blue-black wings Dread Raven flew against the wind and took off like heavy bombers under the protection of crow feathers.
Behind those Dread Ravens is the corruption from all Arakkoa Nests. No, Arakkoa of the Midnights!
Under the leadership of their respective Scroll Keeper and Arakkoa Claw Priest, they held dark and gloomy bone weapons, and drove the descendants of Anzu back to the sky.
No one can count how many Dread Ravens are flying in the night, but Diakum can be sure that the number of Arakkoa of the Midnights who responded to Anzu's call and followed Talon King back to Skyreach tonight is at least on the level of "ten thousand".
It can be seen that although Terokk has been dead for many years, the prestige of this wise king is indeed exaggerated among the two clans Arakkoa, and so many loyal ministers responded to his call.
But it also shows how many sins high-level Arakkoa has committed over the years!
You know, it only takes one night from Anzu and Diakum to decide Lightforging to revive Terokk. No matter how efficient Arakkoa Claw Priest is, they will not have time to make a big announcement. Model mobilization, but just a small-scale mobilization can bring in so many angry Fallen Arakkoas. It can be seen that the saying that "there is a Fallen Arakkoa hidden in every shadow of Spires of Arak" is by no means groundless.
"Look! Kaliris are here too!"
Nubodon points to high altitude.
His voice was loud and clear, and he shouted:
"The descendants of Rukhmar have not forgotten the majesty of Talon King, and the family members of Sun God have also recognized who is the real king of the sky! We must win tonight!"
Yes!
Those Kaliris flying around Skyreach should have firmly stood with the Sun Priest cult. After all, no matter how many bad things the cult has done over the years, they will still stand firmly. Rukhmar is regarded as the true god of the One in the world. It is precisely because of their persistence that the Kaliri population thrives throughout Draenor.
However, under the leadership of those noble and ferocious Sunfire Kaliri, tens of thousands of Kaliri also made crisp calls, and rushed into the Anzu's shadow crows amidst bursts of exclamations from the Arakkoa of the Midnight.
They kept flying and chirping around Terokk and Lei Qian, as if they were telling their nostalgia and loyalty to Talon King.
This scene is extremely exaggerated.
Among the dark crows of Anzu, the Gleam and Kaliri are like the finishing touch, injecting the core of light into this dark storm, making this scene look majestic and sacred.
"Go, child, take your tribe and tell the residents of Skyreach about the return of Talon King! Announce to them the glorious arrival of Sun God and Midnight Raven God!"
Princess Lacey raised his paw and let a majestic and beautiful Sunfire Kaliri land on his arm.
It caressed the cute little girl and said to her:
"A warning to those people who are loyal to the two gods of Arak! Let them stay in their respective Arakkoa Nest and do not go out, let alone participate in the Anhar Sect's desperate resistance. When Light of Dawn arrives, the entire Skyreach will be liberated from the tyranny of depravity and ignorance!
My Father King will treat all subjects equally, and the cruel and ignorant rule will end tonight.
Go for it!
Just like in the myth, become the messenger of the dawn."
At the call of the princess, the Kaliris made a high-pitched cry.
As the shadow storm of Anzu, led by Terokk, came over Skyreach, those smart birds flew into thousands of homes of Skyreach with the orders of Talon King.
Soon.
The moment Terokk's Lightforging bird's claws landed on the foundation stone of Skyreach, the entire city resounded with the neighing of excitement and joy of Arakkoa civilians, and the neighing sound was like a storm wave that swept through the entire Skyreach.
Their wise Talon King is back! The glory of Sun God and Midnight Raven God is back!
Ah, this long-degenerated city can be saved!
Arakkoa, who has been struggling in the quagmire for many years, is saved!
"What are you going to do?"
Diakum also stood on the golden foundation stone of Skyreach, holding Ashbringer in his hand and asked softly:
"This city has been shrouded in darkness for so long that I can even smell the rot here."
"Then light it!"
Terokk raised his paw.
The Holy Light revenge that was given to Lightforged turned into a sharp spear of light and bombarded down, crushing the Sun Cult Battle Standard high up and igniting it.
In the beating of the first flame, Talon King's Crystalcasting claw blade pointed forward, and countless Arakkoa of the Midnights roared and turned into the king's vanguard, rushing towards the trembling cult guards.
It says:
"Use a fire of light to burn away the darkness. In the ashes burned by the Fallen, my city, my country, and my people will be reborn from the fire! Are you willing to help me? Vigilant."
"Of course."
Diakum's fingers grazed Ashbringer's sword blade, letting the white holy flame ignite, and he said:
"At least tonight, I will be honored to be your King's Hand."
Although Saint of Draenei took the initiative to agree to be the vanguard of Claw Sage King, to be honest, Sun Cult's counterattack was very weak.
They showed no response to this attack.
In fact, those priests who used the prestige of Sun God to rule the country of Arakkoa with ignorance and fear never expected that hundreds of years later, they would once again have to face Claw Sage King, who had shattered destiny and returned to Mortal realm.
Just hearing the name "Terokk" will make the tail feathers of Sun Priests tremble, and in the sky-covering storm set off by Anzu, the bravest among them can only let out the most fragile screams.
Facing the return of Talon King, those cowards would even lock themselves in the gorgeous Apexis Crystal palace and end their lives with luxurious sharp blades.
They don't have the guts to face the hot Judgment of fate.
But not all Sun Priest are courageous cowards. After Talon King's army rushed into Skyreach like no one was there and defeated the religious guards, the current leader of Sun Cult, High Sage Verix, who is the most loyal to Sun God's faith and even called it fanatical, soon discovered something was wrong.
"That Talon King is fake!"
This brave and powerful female Arakkoa stood at the highest point of the magnificent Sun Temple. She shouted loudly at the chaotic priests below:
"Hey! Are your eyes blind? Can't you see the light shrouding the monster who calls himself "Terokk"? That's not the most sacred Sunfire of our clan, you idiots!
That is the molding of a false god!
Gua! That's Holy Light's fake Talon King, damn Blue Skins made a fake to try to conquer us!
But the favor of Sun God is not so easily faded.
Go!
Idiots!
Gather your respective Warrior and guard the road to the temple!
I want to activate the sacred "Rukhmar's Breath" in the name of Rukhmar. Under the light of Light of Dawn, I will personally Judgment in the name of Sun God and burn the false god! Sun God belongs to Invincible, and the high-level Arakkoa will definitely take back our dominance over Draenor!"
When the crowd is in panic, a powerful idea king jumps out and gives orders. It is obviously a necessary part of reorganizing the system.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
What's more, High Sage Verix has always been the most fanatical and ruthless ruler in Sun Cult. She calls herself God Chosen of Rukhmar, controlling the terrifying Apexis Sunfire Weapon, who personally lowered Sunfire and burned more than one Fallen Arakkoa to the ground Arakkoa Nest, how can such a person not be scary?
In many cases, not only unity can build strength, but fear can too!
Under her order, Sun Cult finally showed some courage, so when Talon King's army advanced to the middle level of Skyreach, they immediately ran into trouble.
Those Sunflare structures that Arakkoa imitated Draenei were activated!
Although these "Gundam" made in the traditional style of Arakkoa are not as huge as the eternal Defender, they are heavier and are covered with Sunfire Gold that the Arakkoas have molded with solar fire. They are almost indestructible and use Apexis Crystal to shape ray weapons for these structures.
These heavy mechanical shoulders, arms, chests and legs, which have a sense of sacred ritual, are decorated with golden Apexis Crystals. The terrifying light and heat emitted is enough to easily burn Arakkoa of the Midnights who are already photophobic.
But at the moment when the offensive was blocked, Talon King took action himself.
It is a virtuous king who will never allow his people to be slaughtered in front of him, and he is also a hunter with superior force. When it was still alive, it used its sharp claws to quell the disasters of the entire Spires of Arak. Now that it has been strengthened by Lightforging, its power has reached a higher level.
Crystalcasting's wing blade did not have as exaggerated flames as Diakum, but the holy strike attached to Holy Light still allowed Terokk to shatter a Sunflare guard after a chop as fast as "Golden Flash".
Such a brave fighting posture greatly boosted the morale of the Arakkoa of the Midnights, allowing them to continuously release various shadow spells at long distances to support their monarchs and shoot down the religious order guards flying from the air.
The two sides started the most brutal fight on the platform in the middle of the city.
Well, I have to mention the structure of this peculiar "three-dimensional city" Skyreach.
Although the stone pillar carrying Skyreach is very huge, and the space at the top is enough to accommodate a city, Arakkoa has reproduced here for thousands of years, and their unique "egg-laying" method has also made their population growth quite exaggerated.
Even though the Sun Priests sacrifice a batch of high-level Arakkoas who rebel almost every week, the population of Skyreachs has never declined significantly.
This has been the case for many years, no matter how big the city is, it is not enough to live in, so the Arakkoa people use their ingenious construction technology to build one giant platform after another around the main city of Skyreach. These platforms are like enlarged bird's nests connected to the stone pillars carrying Skyreach, creating more living space for the Arakkoa people.
Thousands of years of continuous expansion have allowed such a platform to almost cover the entire top of the stone pillar. From a distance, it looks like the petals of a golden flower blooming, with scattered heights and heights. The main city of Skyreach stands on the top of the stone pillar like a "flower heart" surrounded by petals.
In order to praise Rukhmar, the Sun Priests worked hard to build their cities thin and tall, like golden steel spires.
The Arakkoas also have the tradition of grinding Apexis Crystal. In fact, the word "Apexis" is the name of their first leader.
Wizard Head Mar'gok all admit that Ogre Empire's original witchcraft inheritance came from the professors of Arakkoa sages, Arakkoas love and are proficient in Apexis Crystal, the energy-filled crystal originally produced by Draenor, just like Draenei is proficient in jewelry.
They developed a quite brilliant crystal civilization.
Therefore, every sun spire and every golden platform of Skyreach is filled with embellishments of Apexis Crystal. The ingenious Arakkoa craftsmen shape this crystal into sculptures praising Sun God and stand them everywhere, and then use the bright silk woven by them to embellish it, so that when the light falls, it seems to light up the whole city.
Gorgeous, glorious, majestic.
These beautiful words can be used to describe the urban agglomeration of Skyreach. However, not everyone can see this unique beauty.
This city is too tall!
Most of it is above the clouds, and the weather in Spires of Arak is cloudy. Only those travelers who are extremely lucky can wait until the clouds Dispersion reveal the "City in the Sky" hidden within.
It is the true miracle of the Draenor world, but unfortunately, today's Arakkoa people are barbaric in heart and are obviously not worthy of their luxurious and magnificent city.
At least Diakum thinks so.
"Sure enough, it is the same as described in Lelan's book. Even in Argus, we have not built such a magnificent city. I feel a little sad when I think that this city will be burned down by the joint attack of Orcs and Fallen Arakkoa.
Not bad!
We have preserved this "Draenor material culture Legacy"."
Diakum is walking on the heights of Skyreach at this time. As "King's Hand" appointed by His Majesty Terokk, he is supposed to clean up the most stubborn enemies of Talon King's army, so he did not participate in the war between Arakkoa and Sun Cult.
He must execute the most fanatical and dangerous priests to avoid worse casualties.
As an old ashes who has been to this "dungeon" many times, Vigilant can't hide the road here. He knows where the most dangerous weapons in the city are hidden, and he must take over before "Rukhmar's Breath" is launched, which is so dangerous that it can level a town in an instant.
But Diakum, "King's Hand"'s progress was not smooth sailing. Just as he rushed along the golden platform and rushed in front of Sun Temple of Skyreach, Gleam's flywheel with the sun's flaming eye roared down.
This vicious weapon rotated at high speed and slashed at Diakum's neck, but Ashbringer slashed it away with a sword.
"Draenei! Follower of the false god, how dare you step into the glorious land of Rukhmar?"
In the ear-piercing roar of Arakkoa, more burning flywheels were continuously thrown back and forth like an artistic display, and the shaped wind was also mixed in, roaring and bombarding the solid defense of Holy Word: Shield held up by Saint with one hand, sending out continuous slaps like rain hitting banana leaves.
This attack speed is maxed out.
But as we all know, maxing out attack speed is almost synonymous with "scraping".
Vigilant looked helplessly at the Arakkoa assassin master in front of him who was wearing Sunflare light armor, constantly throwing wing blade flywheels, and flying around in the wind. The latter's sharp movements and deadly attacks showed that he had been trained for many years. This guy has really reached the pinnacle of using Arakkoa traditional weapons like blade wheels.
But again, don't scratch, Master Crow!
With your attack power, it's hard to even break my shield.
Of course, this does not mean that this Arakkoa master assassin has insufficient attack power. The main reason is that these traditional weapons are inlaid with Apexis Crystal. Like almost all other crystal weapons, they need energy storage to burst out the real destructive power. It is midnight and there is no sunlight to charge the flywheel.
In the memory of Diakum, when the master "Ranjit" is fighting in the sun, he can easily use his own flywheel to carry Flamestrike across the field. That is its real power.
"Bang"
While Holy Word: Shield was shattered, Diakum reached out and grabbed a Arakkoa flywheel that was spinning towards his face.
He threw the unique weapon with crystal spikes on all sides up and down, randomly stimulating the hot light of Sun Herald, using himself as the "sun" to charge the flywheel, causing it to ignite white flames in one second.
"It would be disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating, Master Ranjit, I, Warrior of Light's "Eight-Part Light Wheel", also ask you to taste and appreciate it!"
Dick spins in place and throws the blade wheel in his hand. Although it is not as elegant and deadly as Master Arakkoa, Vindicator Tactics also has training on throwing weapons. Of course, this skill has been perfected by Diakum.
The flywheel shot through the air and brought forth a deadly roar. Master Arakkoa jumped up with a start, using his wings to ride the wind to avoid the blow. The hot flywheel wrapped in white sunlight cut into the temple door behind it with a bang.
When it landed, the explosion ignited with a fiery explosion, and a sacred halo also erupted at the point of impact. The halo spread, forcing the Flying Blade Master to pause the scraping.
But as soon as it stopped, Diakum started moving.
Holy Word: Chastise followed Divine Sanction smoothly at the beginning. Two beams bombarded Arakkoa to the ground, and then Ashbringer's huge slash easily broke The weapons in Arakkoa's hands were too sophisticated, and the Divine Storm trio triggered by the echo of Ashbringer swept the master assassin into the Light Blade storm in an instant.
Crow feathers were flying around, mixed with screams like killing chickens. When Diakum gathered up Sunflare and pushed the door and walked in Sun Temple, only a high-level Arakkoa with all its feathers burned off was left paralyzed on the ground, exuding high temperatures.
Circles of chains gathered by Holy Light bound it in place, unable to move. It was also given a "Mind Confession" state by Diakum, and fell into a mental slumber.
Vigilant didn't kill it.
This high-level Arakkoa master assassin is just foolishly loyal, and he is a "Arakkoa supremacist" in his heart. He is not Sun Cult's dog. He has devoted himself to the interests of Arakkoa's race, which means that his amazing flywheel assassination skills can also serve Talon King.
And since Terokk has made it clear that Arakkoa will join K'ure Alliance, master Ranjit's sharp skills such as "Eight-Part Light Wheel" and "Arakkoa Decapitator" will naturally bloom for the majesty of the K'ure Alliance.
Woohoo, the demons of the Burning Legion and Felblood Orcs are blessed now. Why don't we appreciate such exquisite "Warrior of Light tactics"?
By the way, as Warrior of Light myself, would you like to follow these Arakkoa and learn how to use the blade wheel?
This kind of weapon that can rotate at high speed and hit with gyrations is really suitable for helping you gain the reputation of "Argus Meatpacking Plant Director". Well, if you think about it carefully, there is actually no need for you to learn from Arakkoa.
Diakum took out the "Eye of the Storm" diamond that Velen had given him before. One of the characteristics of this thing is that it allows the caster to shape the energy into the form he needs.
"So. Eight-Part Light Wheel?"
Dick rubbed his chin, holding Eye of the Storm on the stairs to Sun Temple, gathering and shaping his own White Holy Flame in his hand, and finally formed a "melee weapon" that was very similar to the Arakkoa blade wheel.
He stared at this thing, watching the hot light wheel spinning rapidly in the palm of his hand.
If this thing is the same as a cutting saw, it will definitely hurt to death if it cuts on the body. But since those bad guys dare to do bad things, it means that they are not afraid of pain. Since they are not afraid of pain, more terrible sanctions are needed.
In the end, Vigilant made a dark determination
Well, I hope that the enemies Diakum the Saint will encounter in the future will not feel pain, if they do. Well, I hope they don't, they'd better not!
