(Additional update for brother "Huo Zhengtinghao" [7/15])
"You will not return to Talador, Vigilant alone."
Anzu's loyal priest Reshad carried his huge scroll in the approaching dawn of Sethekk Hollow, and promised Vigilant who had just completed the epic purification of the demigods:
"My God has sent down an oracle at Skettis Arakkoa Nest which is closest to Talador Region. The religious group of Arakkoa of the Midnight has now crossed the mountains of the two places and entered your territory, and His Majesty Terokk has personally mobilized a group of brave Talon Guards to return with you.
This support from the sky and the earth is just the first batch of reinforcements from Skyreach.
In fact, I am not talented, Midnight Shepherd, who was personally appointed by His Majesty Terokk as Talonclaw Order, will command the army of Skettis to support the glorious Shattrath City."
"And I, Vigilant, was given the mission by my father to lead the Talon Guardss to support our allies and protect the Sun God sky for you."
Princess Lacey was a little embarrassed and said to Vigilant:
"The reason why I didn't tell you this right away was because of my father's will. He wanted to see how far K'ure Alliance's unity could go for the allies.
This is the necessary prudence of a king.
But after seeing you purify the Millennium Curse for us, I know that Arakkoa owes you too much. We should no longer doubt the Guardian Covenant formed by your personal call. Please also forgive me and Your Excellency Reshad for concealing it."
"What kind of concealment is this?"
Dick smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Compared to the garrison commander I once served, who had eight hundred thoughts in his eyes, His Majesty Tyrok's power is still quite mild. What's more, given the current situation in Tongtian Peak, the King of Claws cannot be too careful.
With the support of these two people, Shattrath City's war will surely advance more smoothly, and those arrogant Dragonmaw Orcs and their flying dragons will no longer be a problem."
"Two-Headed Wyvern?"
Princess Lacey played with her wing blade and commented with some disdain:
"In front of Arakkoa's wings, Draenor's other creatures are not qualified to roam the sky!
Well, we Arakkoa have been isolated in the Draenor world for too long under the leadership of False Sun Scripture. It has become so old that even the Ogress have forgotten the scorching blade of the Sun Empire, but it's time.
It's time for this continent to recall their forgotten fears. In every cold wind that blows, there will be Eye of the Sky watching them!"
"Well, your speech is really inspiring, but with all due respect, at this moment when we are fighting against a common enemy, Arakkoas had better hide their desire to conquer that has nowhere to go."
Diakum reminded tactfully:
"Arakkoa has been in self-isolation for too long, but the outside world has already changed."
"Please don't pay attention to these overly exaggerated remarks by Your Highness the Princess. My god has reminded you before, and your Naaru also said that there will be a period of "fanatical period" in the life after Lightforging. Hey, this is normal."
Scroll Keeper Reshad whispered:
"But Talon King and Princess Lacey both have the first-class wisdom in Arakkoa. They will quickly suppress this undue fanaticism, but there is one more thing I hope to get your permission, Vigilant."
Arakkoa Claw Priest glanced at Eredath who was meditating not far away, and whispered:
"We hope that this outstanding Priest who has been debating scriptures with Sun Priests for seven days and nights on Skyreach will participate in the re-editing of the Sun Scriptures, if he is willing If so, Talon King will give Mr. Eredath the title of "Honorary Sun Sage", and perhaps he will re-deconstruct the teachings of Sun God for us.
This is also the future that my god Anzu hopes to see.
I believe that Mr. Eredath's seven-day suffering in Skyreach has proved that he is by no means a fanatic. He has enough wisdom to assist Arakkoa in reshaping our correct belief in Sun God. Of course, this also means that a group of sun apprentices will follow Mr. Eredath to form a new, correct and rational Sun Cult.
You are the combat mentor of this outstanding young man, so before I ask for his opinion, I must get your approval. Gua, please believe us, we also hope that under his guidance, Sunfire Arakkoa can get rid of the barbaric customs accumulated in the past thousands of years as soon as possible.
They are not beasts!
They should not live like wild beasts."
Speaking of this, Reshad lowered his voice. There is no doubt that Scroll Keeper, who possesses Draenor's first-class wisdom, said:
"More importantly, I just saw with my own eyes Mr. Eredath's dual choice between light and shadow. This means that he can not only lead Sun Sage, but also perfectly integrate into the big family of Arakkoa Claw Priest.
This is an opportunity. Perhaps under the leadership of His Excellency Eredath, who is intertwined with light and shadow, we Arakkoa can rebuild the ancient tradition of the dual sects of "Burning Sun of An'har" and "Shadow of Skalax".
In this era, the ancient wisdom that survived Sun Empire has been forgotten.
But they should not be forgotten!
In fact, if Mr. Eredath is willing, my god Anzu will personally apply [Midnight Blessing] to him to strengthen his control over the shadow magic.
Well, he is really a treasure given to Arakkoa by fate."
"Then go ahead."
Diakum waved his hand without hesitation and said:
"Eredath's destiny should be in his own hands. I also believe that Anzu can help my child create that light and shadow artifact that requires dexterity and extremely high forging skills.
It just so happens that Arakkoa is more accomplished in this area than Draenei, who is good at jewelry making but doesn't have much talent in forging."
"Of course, ah, of course, let's take that Light and Shadow Holy Staff as a kind gift from Arakkoa to Draenei. Well, I'm sure that the reputation of the twin holy staffs Blessing and Curse Expulsion will eventually resound throughout Draenor."
Reshad let out the unique sinister laughter of Arakkoa of the Midnight, making this guy look like a villain.
And when it and Princess Lacey left to find Eredath to prepare for him to "join the gang", Yrel ran over in a hurry. The recruit, holding his severely melted crystal war hammer, said to Diakum:
"Saint, Garona asked you to come over. She said that when she was releasing the tiger-man sacrifices captured by False Talon King, she accidentally discovered a "strange guy". She also said that considering that you plan to unite all races of Draenor, Blade Tooth Tiger-Man, who are distributed throughout the mainland, may become a new member of the K'ure Alliance.
Although those barbaric guys have never established a dynasty like Arakkoa and Ogres in their own history, they do have a long history, and like Orcs, they are active throughout the continent in a clan system.
Although there is no swarm advantage, the tiger man's individual strength can even easily kill Orcs alone.
These guys are simply symbols of force in the Draenor wilderness. The problem with the One is that they are too barbaric."
Yrel complained:
"We have been robbed by Khajiit bandits in Ambori Village. Those guys dared to rob a caravan in small groups. They are very brave and there are also Witch Doctor priests among them."
"Blade Tooth Tiger-Man? I actually forgot about this supporting character who has always been on the sidelines of Draenor's big stage."
Diakum raised his eyebrows and said to himself that Garona is indeed the ace assassin carefully trained by Gul'dan. His granddaughter is not only outstanding in combat ability, but also well taught by Lelan in terms of strategic thinking.
But before going to check on the strange tiger man, Diakum took a look at the strange purple crystal war hammer in Yrel's hand. He sighed and said:
"Your Holy Light also shows signs of melting weapons?"
"Well, it was fine before, but since I started learning your very powerful "Most Holy Slash" power-charging combat skills, this Gemstone Warhammer has always been easy to break."
Yrel looked at the broken war hammer in his hand and sighed:
"This is the third warhammer I have broken. It was lent to me by Maraad. Although with the explosion of holy power brought about by the blessing given by K'ure the Crown, I have been able to initially master the unique skills of Holy Light Burst.
But the destruction of weapons by that thing is really terrible. If this continues, I will have to spend all my money to prepare weapons.
Alas, I still owe Samara several copper coins."
"Then let's solve the problem once and for all."
Dick reminded Yrel:
"In order to win over Eredath, Arakkoa promised to use the power of Anzu to forge the Blessing holy staff for him. The fact that they can produce Sunfire Gold, a steel material that is so unique that it can be compared to Celestial Gold, proves that they are very talented in forging.
You give your crystal fragment to Reshad and ask them to help you forge a weapon.
With legendary materials like Naaru fragments and the divine blessing of Anzu, at least one legendary weapon can be forged. Alas, that's not right! Don't you have Gorian Holy Sword as a gift from Ogres?
Why don't I see you using that thing?"
"Oh, Ogre Holy Sword will slow down my movement speed."
Yrel shook his head and said:
"Although its strength has been strengthened and its appearance is very domineering, it is still too dangerous to be unable to run and jump in close combat. That thing is really only suitable for Ogres, so I plan to find an opportunity to give the holy sword away.
Besides, I am about to have a real legendary blade of Lightforging. Who cares about the sacred object of Ogres?
I plan to follow your choice and forge a Ashbringer for me based on your holy sword. But at this point, the crystals in the hands of Maraad and Nubodon have no signs of purification yet.
But Nubodon said that he already has an idea. When he goes to Elemental Throne to forge the artifact for the K'ure Alliance, he will complete his own crystal purification. Maraad seems to have not found a way yet."
"No, he is the most determined, Yrel."
Dick explained:
"Your Naaru crystal purification relies on external forces, but Maraad is determined to polish the crystal with his own Holy Light. That is his firm determination in Anzu's Shadow Trial. He regards this as his own Holy Light trial.
Haven't you noticed that Maraad has made rapid progress in the past few days, and his Holy Light level of solidification is even more exaggerated than yours?"
"I found out, but I thought it was because he was talented."
Yrel asked curiously:
"Maraad Consecration, who is self-righteous, would actually let Holy Light respond to him so generously?"
"Yes, Holy Light is a very spiritual power, Yrel."
Diakum used a series of his own examples to explain to his apprentices, and he reminded:
"Your current strength improvement is more due to the blessing from K'ure the Crown and your own terrible talent, but your progress in firmness of mind and morality is far less than that of Maraad. You should learn from him.
Your talent will determine your lower limit on Holy Light Path.
But if you want to break your upper limit and change your destiny with Holy Light Blade, then you must learn to use morality and faith to continuously bless yourself with the power of light."
"Well, what you taught me is that I will ask Maraad for advice."
Yrel nodded seriously, then said goodbye to Saint and ran to Princess Lacey, intending to ask for a favor and ask Arakkoa to help him forge a holy blade of his own as soon as possible.
Arakkoa is really talented in this area.
Just those few Golden Sunfire Ring that have been sent back to Shattrath City by Neri and Yura can be seen that they are attracting Sunfire's superb skills in forging metals, among other things, are the sturdy, lightweight and strong gorgeous light armor worn by Talon Guards, as well as the Arakkoa Claw Wing Blade they use.
There is a saying that these weapons and protective gear are just "gifts" for other races, but Arakkoa is able to forge these gorgeous gadgets into something sacred and practical.
Although these races of Draenor each have their own shortcomings, their respective racial talents are really exaggerated, and the small world has its advantages. If there really is such a thing as World Will, then it is obvious that the will of Draenor distributes talents to every child quite evenly.
With such emotion, Dick came to the edge of Sethekk Hollow.
It was already dawn.
After the impact ring caused by the collision of the flames of Diakum and Sun God last night tore apart the gloomy clouds, today's dawn was undoubtedly a glorious morning, and this Blasted Lands also welcomed the sunshine for the first time in a thousand years, sweeping away the cold atmosphere remaining here.
Not to mention, the image of those beams of light passing through the gaps in the clouds and falling on the cursed blood pool is really a sacred artistic sense.
"Saint, that's the tiger man!"
Garona was currently sitting on a rock counting his "trophies". When he saw Dick coming over, he stood up quickly and introduced the strange tiger man to him.
She held a large pile of blood-stained Sethe scales in her hand, and the bag on her back contained most of the "good stuff". Grandpa Saint, who was very knowledgeable, said that if these demigod scales were used properly, they could make quite good, even legendary assassin protective gear for themselves.
Garona will definitely not let go of these good things. It just so happens that False Talon King's servants have almost looted Spires of Arak's Corrupted Scales for evil purposes. Now these good things naturally belong to her.
This is a normal collection of trophies. Besides, there is a saying in their "Assassin World" that "Thieves never steal anything."
As for the tiger man picked out by Garona
Call it "weird", there is nothing strange about it from the appearance alone. It has the appearance of an ordinary Khajiit, a humanoid creature, covered with colorful hair like Tiger and the rare Golden British Shorthair, with a thick tail swinging around, recurved hind legs that can move as flexibly as a human, cat-like sharp claws hidden in the flesh pads, but with five fingers, it can use various tools.
There is a Tiger head on its head, like a "Tiger Pioneer" who is learning the art of transformation. He hasn't learned how to completely transform, but he has already gained a bit of a human touch.
Tiger people always look a little silly because of their faces, but you can't underestimate these guys because of this.
Although Blade Tooth Tiger-Man has not yet established its own dynasty and civilization, its population also dominates the mountains as kings in the form of warlords of various clans. They are the same professional households in the mainland of Draenor that rob families and homes as Ogres.
But the tigers do have a very clear sense of territory. According to the observation records of the Draenei rangers, there is only one large tiger Horde on every piece of land.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
In other words, there are Khajiit "city-states" in several territories of the Draenor continent, but these guys are not very good at diplomacy. They rely more on their natural strength to compete for territory with the monsters and monsters from all over Draenor.
What is more tragic is that the tiger man Horde of Shadowmoon Valley once planned to rob Karabor Temple.
Well, they're gone now.
However, the Bloodmane Tiger-Man here at Spires of Arak are very awesome. They occupy a huge valley not far from Skyreach, called Bloodmane Valley, when Arakkoa was in despair, the Khajiit warlord there was still trying to kill himself, planning to collect 10,000 high-level Arakkoa's gorgeous feathers as a symbol of his own force.
Then they unfortunately encountered Talon King Terokk who had just succeeded to the throne and was in urgent need of meritorious service to prove himself.
As the wisest and most powerful monarch in Arakkoa history, Terokk without Talon Guards only needed a few days and nights to defeat by himself. Bloodmane Valley, the arrogant Khajiit warlord had his head removed by Talon King, but Terokk did not exterminate the Khajiits but kindly allowed them to continue to multiply in Bloodmane Valley.
Anyway, Arakkoa only longs for the sky, and they have no interest in ruling terrestrial creatures.
It can be said that the majesty of Talon King is based on the history of blood and tears of Bloodmane Tiger-Man, but these guys are indeed incompetent. Arakkoa is living a good life on Skyreach. Why are you hunting her when you have nothing to do? It's not like you lack a bite of meat.
"Are you from Bloodmane Valley?"
Diakum looked up and down at the tortured tiger man in front of her. Garona must have her reasons for saying this guy was strange, so Saint asked using Orcish:
"What unique ability do you have that will make my picky granddaughter look at you differently?"
"Uh, the powerful Saint."
The tiger man had witnessed the whole process of Diakum purifying the cursed Sethe before in a cage waiting to die. Although the tiger man was barbaric, they worshiped power, so it behaved quite well-behaved in front of Diakum, just like "Haki Tiger".
While wagging his tail uneasily, he said cautiously:
"I am actually Chieftain from Bloodmane Valley. Well, don't look at me as weak, but I am the smartest among the people. I inherited the ancient name of "Kalash", which is also my name. My name is "Kalash"·Goldmane. (Ps1)
The reason why I must see you is not only to thank you for saving my dog's life, but also because I have a secret to tell you.
When I was arrested, I saw a group of Orc Warlock talking to False Talon King.
Shadow Sage Eska of Claw Court joined Orcs with a group of Arakkoa Warlock and followed them away, so the powerful you did not actually completely destroy Ikiss that piece of shit Claw Court.
They killed many of my people, and the tiger people believe in blood revenge, so if you need it, my hunting Warrior and I are willing to track down those Fallen Arakkoas for you and execute them."
"It's not for me personally. K'ure Alliance welcomes all Sons of Draenor who want to protect Sons of Draenor. Khajiit is also a member of Draenor. If you are willing to serve peace, then I will definitely welcome it."
Diakum said in a gentle tone to the tiger man Chieftain in front of him:
"You don't have to worry that your people will continue to be retaliated by Arakkoa. Talon King has ascended the throne again, and it will treat all lives of Spires of Arak equally."
"But this is what I'm afraid of!"
Bloodmane Tiger-Man Kalash Goldmane said desperately:
"My ancestor, the powerful and arrogant leader Kalash, was personally Execute by Terokk. I inherited the name of my ancestor, and maybe that will be my ending.
Arakkoas need prestige to show off their force. Besides Multi-Headed Serpent in the mire, who else on this land is more suitable to be their sacrifice to show off their force than us tiger-men?
I want to take my people to migrate to Talador. We have dealt with one of your travelers before, and the lady named "Lelan" welcomed us, saying that Draenei welcomes all races with bright hearts."
"I'm really impressed by Lelan's outstanding diplomatic talent. How can she make friends with everyone?"
Dick complained harshly.
Garona next to her also nodded fiercely. She grew up next to Lelan and was indeed shocked by her mother's miraculous talent.
But just when Diakum and this "Haki Tiger" agreed to welcome them to settle in Talador, perhaps to show their usefulness, this tiger man revealed another "big news".
"There are more than just Anzu eyes in this forest, Saint."
Haki Tiger Goldmane waved his tail suspiciously and said to Vigilant:
"I can feel that there are always eyes staring at you nearby. This is not my nonsense! We Bloodmane Tiger-Man have been living in Spires of Arak since Sun Empire was still alive. We have been dealing with Anzu's crows all year round and are very sensitive to the sight of those flying at high altitudes.
I can assure you with my head that one of these ravens flying in the shadows does not belong to the flock of Anzu!
Just during last night's battle, that feeling became more and more obvious
It's right here!
It's staring at us, hiding in the dark."
"Huh?"
Diakum narrowed his eyes, looked left and right, and whispered to Kalash:
"When your strange "bird sense" appears again later, give me directions!"
"Oh, okay."
As the best hunter, Haki Tiger Kalash immediately understood what this Saint was planning to do. To be honest, as a native of Spires of Arak, this blood-maned Chieftain was also very curious about what kind of strange raven it was that dared to mingle with its crows under Old Anzu's nose.
You must know that Anzu is not a kind god!
Although it takes great care of Arakkoa, to other creatures in the peak forest, Anzu is no different from a moody evil god.
Diakum led Garona and Kalash towards his new recruits. He looked calm but actually held a crystal dagger in his hand and was secretly accumulating power. He waited for a long time but did not receive any news from the tiger man. Even Garona began to wonder if this Haki Tiger was making nonsense just to show its usefulness.
But just when Garona was about to get up, Kalash suddenly jumped up and pointed to a forest behind him, screaming:
"There it is! That raven with purple eyes! That's it!"
Diakum turned around and threw the flying knife that had been charged to the extreme. He used his perfect throwing technique to make the crystal flying knife fly out of the palm of his hand. The moment it left Dick's finger, it was melted by the highly compressed holy power.
It was almost a sharp light flying towards the location indicated by the tiger man.
Dick knows who that is!
So he didn't even think about hitting his opponent with this blow. He just wanted to use this method to tell the "foreign visitor" not to participate in the confrontation between the K'ure Alliance and War Horde!
"Boom"
The dazzling flying knife pierced the dark forest high up, and the hot Holy Halo exploded like a solar flare, almost burning out the entire tree. However, as Diakum and others watched, the hot Holy Light failed to hurt the guy behind at all. Instead, it shot the dangerous light and heat into the air in the reflection of the violet mana shield.
The dazzling energy aftermath washed over the entire area, but in the broken light, there was only one raven covered in purple light spots, flying leisurely and leisurely, and was not harmed at all by Vigilant's full blow.
Even the act of leaving seemed relaxed and comfortable.
"Anzu. Do you just allow it to use your name to cheat?"
Diakum asked mentally. After a few seconds, Old Anzu's helpless voice slowly sounded:
"So what if it's not allowed? I can't afford to offend this "guest". My "Midnight Raven God" was called out by children playing around, but the "god" hidden in this person is the real deal.
I didn't dare to provoke him, or even tell him what I had discovered. I could only do things according to his instructions in the dream, and I was helpless.
If the "true god" in his body becomes angry, the world will end in an instant.
Now you know why I forged the blackmail letter to get you to come to Fenglin, right?
Haha, I am also a victim in this matter, and I even had to teach him the secret of the more perfect "Raven Form". He told me in a blazing way that I can learn the fate of Rukhmar from you.
Facts have proved that he did not lie.
So who is that?
Diakum, do you know him?"
"We don't know each other yet, but maybe we will soon."
Vigilant reached out and took the raven feather wrapped with purple light that Garona picked up from under the burned trees, and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
He said:
"Oh, this is probably Dark Titan, who once had a "fate" with Argus, greeting me. Being thought about by "that adult" really makes me sleepless."
"Du"
At the end of this "encounter" that shocked everyone, the Arcanite Crystal carried by Maraad suddenly rang. Garrison Commander picked it up and interpreted the message. The next moment, he jumped up and shouted to Diakum:
"It's not good, Saint! Grom Hellscream led the troops to attack T'uurem, Grand Executor Haddon was injured by him, War Horde's army tried to besiege Shattrath but was repelled. The brutal Orcs Chieftain took advantage of the chaos and captured a group of tribesmen.
He threatens Grand Artificer Velen or you with the lives of his people, and has a Mak'gora with him outside Shattrath City! He is trying to behead our leader and destroy our morale in this way!"
"So, the legendary Warrior who embraced Fel bullied the divine priest Velen in such an open and honest manner? This is what he calls "glory"? Why doesn't he find a similar big guy to compare?"
Diakum put the crow feather in his hand back into the bag. When he looked back, his face was covered with frost. He said:
"Then let's go! Let's see with our own eyes how much Grom Hellscream weighs after drinking the devil's blood."
Ps1:
I know that Goldmane cannot speak and is a poor mute. The "Kalash Goldmane" here is actually the mixed image of several tiger followers of the Draenor version, in order to better bring Blade Tooth Tiger-Man into the story.
By the way, when the Warlords of Draenor version was previewed, Glass Slag swore that Blade Tooth Tiger-Man would have a very cool exclusive plot, and there were also exclusive plots for Ogres mainland and Farahlon in the same version. However, they were all cut off, leaving only Old Hellscream, the leading party who frequently broke the news.
Alas, such a creative version of the main line is really wasted. People say that the plot of World of Warcraft is getting worse and worse. Several versions have empty and boring stories. The root of the danger is actually laid in this version of Warlords of Draenor.
How else to say that painting cakes is harmful to people?
Right, it's not like me, if I say I'll give my brothers more updates, I'll definitely give them more updates!
