Diakum sat aside with a smile on his face.
Watching Emperor Thoradin's spirit body and Lothar having a "grandfather and grandson" communication there, when King of Barbarians's loud voice and wild demeanor oppressed poor Lothar to obey, the old Lich was describing to him how they brought Emperor Thoradin back.
"He did not want to return to Mortal realm."
Meryl sighed and said:
"King of Barbarians encountered the terrifying monster hidden under the border of Tirisfal Glades during his final patrol. He believed it was a threat to the empire, so he entered it personally, and with the help of the holy artifact left by Titan Keepers, he successfully forced the terrifying monster to fall into sleep again.
But the price was that the Arathor Empire emperor was buried in that dark place.
Perhaps it is the influence of the power of the void that makes the emperor's soul resist the call of death. He has been guarding that dark place for more than two thousand years like the guardian of mankind, waiting hard for us, unworthy descendants, to take over his important responsibilities.
Fortunately, you informed me in advance and made me fully prepared, otherwise it would be really difficult for me, Lich, to fight against those void creations."
"Yeah, yeah."
Lelan, who finally returned to his parents' side, also said with great distress:
"In order to completely kill that general Qiraji, I consumed two precious divine runes to awaken the sacred object Titan that was suppressed in the darkness. Eredath held the war hammer and called Holy Light. With the assistance of master Meryl, I killed and purified the Void Nightmare."
"As inspiring as it is, I regret to tell you that you have not been able to purify it, children."
Vigilant stretched out his hand and stroked the Strom'kar, the Warbreaker holy sword in the weapon box.
This sword was cut into the head of General Qiraji by Emperor Thoradin. It had been reborn after being exposed to the blood of the void for more than two thousand years. More importantly, with the blood of the void, Diakum obtained the void information of the expelled Qiraji Brute.
Dark light spots gathered in front of his eyes into a prompt:
"Demigod Void Life·Qiraji General "Zaka'z" information has been obtained! You can try to summon Zaka'z under Voidform to return to Material World and become your permanent servant.
Tip!
This Qiraji is the creation of Old God "Thousand Throats Demon" Yogg-Saron, so you may need a battle to erase Zaka'z's Void Brand, making it one of the optional summoning rituals for the Light Weaver Order·Shadewalker faction."
Diakum retracted his finger and explained:
"Low-level void beings like Faceless Ones and K'xir still have the possibility of being purified, but void creatures of the Qiraji level have gained "immortality" with the blessing of Sea of Darkness. They were just expelled back to Sea of Darkness by you, waiting to be recast with flesh and blood there before returning to Material World.
But don't worry, I will help you solve this problem completely soon.
Let's continue, Mr. Meryl, how did you convince the stubborn King of Barbarians to become Strom'kar, the Warbreaker's "Sword Spirit"?
I know this must be difficult.
After all, the bad temper of the barbarians is as clearly recorded in the history of Quel'Thalas as their exaggerated strength."
"Yes, quite difficult."
Old Lich looked at Emperor Thoradin who was pressing down Lothar in a spirit form and beating him hard, trying to make his "unworthy descendants" feel "Arathor Courage". He sighed and said:
"Like a wild bull, after witnessing the purification of "World Enemy" that he was guarding, Emperor Thoradin once wanted to respond to Death Summon and end his glorious life. Lelan and I tried our best to convince him.
Fortunately, Eredath is good at Bible analysis, and it took him three full days to convince the emperor to turn into the spirit body of the holy sword and continue to guard his people."
"Actually, I don't use any complicated teachings, sir."
Eredath, who was wearing a black robe, waved his hands modestly and explained:
"I just described the current situation for the great emperor of mankind. If the scattered mankind cannot have a hero like him at this time, I am afraid that this race will gradually lose its potential and vitality in the continuous disasters.
What's more important is that Magic Plague is wreaking havoc, and Emperor Thoradin cannot accept that his bloodline has become weak.
He is truly a protective and self-sacrificing king.
However, Strom'kar, the Warbreaker is not a magic sword, so Emperor Thoradin's soul will continue to be lost. He doesn't care. He just wants to see his successor embark on the right path."
"Ha, what's so difficult about this?"
Diakum stood up, strode to Lothar, and said:
"Marshal, as Paladin, how can you not have your own "Guardians of Kings"? Emperor Thoradin wants to witness your epic, and also wants to see his fragmented empire reunited, so with the help of Holy Light, you and the emperor's destiny can be reunited two thousand eight hundred years later.
At this point, you can truly become the "Guardian of Humanity" chosen by the Emperor!"
"Ah? Can this still happen?"
Lothar is a little confused.
But if you think about it carefully, the so-called "Guardians of Kings" is a more elegant way of saying it, but to put it crudely, isn't this thing just the "Guardian of the Ancestors"?
It perfectly fits his blood relationship with Emperor Thoradin.
"So, ancestors, what do you think?"
Lothar looked at the spirit body King of Barbarians next to him. Emperor Thoradin was floating in the air with his hands on his hips and said to Diakum:
"Who are you? If you want me to be the guardian of this unfilial son, do I have to do it? I, Thoradin, the first hero, my favorite thing to do in my life is to say no to those guys who think they are strong!
Just like when faced with Amani Troll's provocation, I will answer them with my sword!"
He stretched out his hand, let the holy sword fall into his hand as Strom'kar, the Warbreaker screamed, waved to Diakum, and said:
"Then let us speak according to the rules of barbarians. Only the winner can give orders to the loser!"
"Uh"
Diakum looked at the confident Emperor Thoradin. He hesitated for a moment, suppressed his strength to the same legendary level as the Great Emperor, and then responded by "unsheathing his spirit body".
Then, Lothar, who covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look, saw how his brave ancestor was beaten to the ground by Warrior of Light within three minutes, and Diakum did not bully anyone.
He did not use Holy Light combat skills throughout the whole process, but only responded with "Jiedenigu Fist Technique".
"Okay! You are a great Warrior!"
Emperor Thoradin, who was beaten up, laughed and said loudly:
"Since you have protected my unscrupulous descendants, I will listen to your persuasion once and transform into the spirit body of Holy Light to protect my weak descendants. But Lothar, do you know why I still took Warbreaker with me when I was growing old?
That sword has become Symbol of the Arathor Empire. At that time, many people rumored that it was Emperor's Sword. Only the next emperor is qualified to hold the holy sword.
But not like this!"
Emperor Thoradin said seriously to Lothar:
"This is just a steel sword forged by elves. It is not Emperor's Sword and it shouldn't have that kind of power! Listen to me, kid. Don't expect that you can dominate Seven Human Kingdoms with this sword.
Regardless of whether they want it or not, I will never admit that you used this method to rebuild the empire!
What is a monarch? What is a king?
Only those who can gather people's hearts to forge the blade of victory are worthy of becoming the king, so getting this sword is just the beginning. Don't think about being lazy, you have to use your own strength and charisma to restore the empire's territory.
I will keep an eye on you throughout the whole process and will not allow you to cheat.
Empires can never be built on lies and shortcuts.
Do you understand?"
"Hmm."
Marshal Lothar said loudly:
"I have never thought about relying on your sword to conquer all directions. In this era, I want to protect my people more than rebuilding the empire."
This answer makes Emperor Thoradin barely satisfied.
He looked back at Diakum and said seriously:
"You! Powerful alien Saint, I beg you and your Warriors not to participate in Lothar's journey to rebuild the empire. Humanity, which has been divided for 2,800 years, must complete this matter with your own hands, rather than hastily ending this ceremony with the help of one Saint.
I came back from death to see all this, and if my children can't do it, it proves that humans are just that."
"I promise you."
Diakum made a serious oath, he said:
"Light Weaver Warband will only fight against demons. We will not be too involved in the reconstruction of the Human Empire, but the matter of Voros the Exalted becoming human Guardian Naaru is beyond our control. You should understand that in major matters related to civilization, faith is also a force that the king must control."
"Well, I understand. We also had Holy Light at that time, but it was just not as fancy as the one you use now."
The emperor nodded.
Later, with the help of Diakum, Emperor Thoradin established contact with Holy Light and became his guardian of the kings in Lothar's oath.
After doing all this, Lothar left Mage Tower.
He wants to assist his good brother Llane to resettle the refugees of Dalaran and Lordaeron as soon as possible, but Stormwind Kingdom currently has no extra land, so retaking Westfall occupied by Orcs has become the top priority at the moment. Only that big granary can accommodate so many people for a long time.
Fortunately, the arrival of this group of exiles has given Lothar enough troops. In addition, Kul Tiras's fleet continues to send back Northern Borderlands's refugees. Stormwind Kingdom will soon reorganize its military strength and then complete a real decisive battle with Green Skins Orcs.
This is just the beginning.
This army will become stronger in the war with Green Skins, and eventually, under the leadership of Lothar, it will head north to launch a "punishment expedition" against the demons and start a sacred "recovery of lost territory" movement.
"We are about to witness an epic civilization."
Eredath made a triangle Holy Crest on his chest. He touched the holy book on his waist and said softly:
"What an honor."
"It's a great honor, but the biggest problem right now is what should we do with this sacred object."
Lelan is Arcane Mage. She is more rational. Looking at the "The Silver Hand" warhammer in the weapon box placed in front of her, she said to Vigilant with some headache:
"Uncle, in order to purify that Qiraji, I used divine runes to awaken its Titan divine power. You are right, this war hammer is a double Force Artifact of Arcane and Holy Light. Its power structure is really complicated and difficult for Holy Light Walkers to use it well."
"This may represent the complex nature of Titan Keeperss."
Old Lich said while twirling his sparse beard:
"The guardian Tyr is not only a servant of Arcane, he can also use Power of Holy Light. We found some stone tablets left by the ancient Vrykul in the tomb, which recorded the life of Tyr.
It is said that the creator of Tyr is "Defender"Aggramar?"
"It's Him again!"
Lelan rubbed his forehead and said:
"Why are the strange things we encounter always related to Aggramar?"
"Because after Sargeras betrayed Pantheon, Aggramar assumed his original responsibility, and Defender patrolled the planet sea to suppress the disasters in the universe.
His footsteps naturally spread all over the stars, and the story of Draenor, Origin, comes from this."
Diakum stretched out his hand and stroked the divine hammer made of special materials in front of him. He could clearly feel that Holy Light in this divine hammer was calling, but as Lelan said, the divine power belonging to Arcane was interfering with Holy Light's connection.
This kind of interference will not affect Holy Light Walker of his level.
The problem is that Diakum does not intend to steal the relics of Tyr. This warhammer must be handed over to Holy Light Walker of Azeroth for use. Mortals cannot perfectly control this sacred object that represents "justice" under such interference from the force.
Vigilant frowned slightly and said:
"We have to find a way to strip out the Arcane Force remaining in the Silver Hand and make the Holy Light in the holy object pure."
"Can this be done?"
Meryl raised his eyebrows and said:
"This is a weapon used by the servants created by Titan himself. It cannot be dismantled by ordinary people."
"Yes! But the stripping must be done in a special place."
Dick looked back at the window of Mage Tower and shouted outside:
"Why are you hiding outside? Lady Aegwynn, now we are waiting for you to bring good news."
"Well, what good news can I have? All I bring is bad news."
Aegwynn turned into a raven and flew into Mage Tower, then turned into a human form and said:
"I have completed the location of several Titan facilities. The one closest to us is in Badlands, which is the territory controlled by Dark Iron Dwarves, but the excavators of Bronzebeard Dwarves occupied the ruins with muskets and cannonballs.
They did it with great fanfare, and it's not that easy to sneak in and deal with the Titan facility.
I'm not afraid of violent dismantling. The problem is that the entire continent is in panic right now, so it's better to keep a low profile on this kind of thing."
"Then send someone to communicate with Bronzebeard Dwarves and ask them to withdraw Excavation Site from Uldaman. Just in time, we have Draenei Clan's most outstanding diplomats!"
Diakum patted his adopted daughter on the shoulder and said to her while Lelan looked at her in confusion:
"Girl, go to Ironforge and use your talents to get the first things done as soon as possible."
"This is important."
Aegwynn reminded:
"The dwarves who were digging there didn't even know that there were two Titan Keepers sleeping in Uldaman. Once they woke up those two guys, things would be very troublesome. Although there wasn't much Titan energy gathering there, I saw with my own eyes the army of golems that were created.
That is the real bottom Titan Construct, which is currently out of control.
Once they break out of the surface, the Titan Construct army alone can bloodbath the entire continent without the need for demons.
Although humans, dwarves and gnomes are all degenerated from the former Titan Keepers, the creations of order will not argue with us "descendants of the void" infected with Curse of Flesh."
Hearing this, Lelan immediately became serious.
Regardless of her exhaustion, she stood up and said:
"I will leave for Ironforge immediately, but in what name shall I carry out diplomacy? It cannot be in the name of our Draenei."
"In the name of "Salvation Army"."
Aegwynn waved his hand and said:
"Star Soul Lord instructed me to form an army of guardians who truly belong to Azeroth, just like Eredar Star Sea Clan guards Argus Star Soul. She asked me to select warriors from various races.
Just go there in the name of this Burning Legion."
"But dwarves are notoriously difficult to persuade."
Old Lich said:
"Those guys have stones in their skulls and are stubborn as hell. Even though I have personally witnessed Lelan's terrifying talent for making friends, she and Emperor Thoradin only stayed together for a few days before she was regarded as a close friend by King of Barbarians.
But when it comes to the dwarves' project to find their "mission", I guess Magni Bronzebeard won't give in so easily."
"Then take this with you."
Aegwynn took off his Heart of Azeroth, handed it to Lelan, and said:
"If you can't be convinced with words, show this to the dwarves. They have a mysterious connection with the earth, and can naturally sense the great power of the past. As for which path the dwarves should choose between their forging gods "Khaz'goroth" and Star Soul Lord.
I can't control it!
But I hope they can make the right choice after seeing the truth."
"Let Onyxia and Tarecgosa accompany you."
Dick warned:
"They have the ability to escort you away when you encounter danger. Eredath will stay in Northshire Abbey to assist Stormwind Kingdom in training Priest. Now that we are short of manpower, everyone is busy."
"Well, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
Lelan held Heart of Azeroth with a serious face, turned and left under the escort of Eredath, so only Dick, Aegwynn and Meryl Winterstorm were left among Mage Tower.
With no one else present, Aegwynn could finally speak his mind.
She casually pulled up a chair and sat on it, pulled down her crow hood, and said in a low tone:
"I flew all over Northern Borderlands and saw the tragedies and tragedies in various countries under the invasion of demons. I suddenly realized that I seemed to have wrongly blamed my son Medivh.
Although he was indeed lured to extremes by Sargeras's dark thoughts, in the position of "Guardian", my son showed more foresight than I did. He may have anticipated what would happen today, so he was eager to rebuild unity.
Not just humans but other races.
Things are also progressing according to his plan, Stormwind Kingdom has become the fulcrum of civilization he wants to see, and his brothers Lothar and Llane have also entered the "destiny" he arranged for them.
The unity he wanted was being shaped.
And I, I have been given the same mission by Star Soul, and Azeroth Lord also hopes to see the unity and unity of War of the Ancients reappear again.
I thought I understood my son, but it was only after he left that I truly realized what my son was worried about.
Alas, I have failed so much as a mother."
"To put it bluntly, it was indeed a failure."
Old Lich stepped forward and patted Aegwynn on the shoulder, and said warmly:
"But what matters is not the mistakes and pain of the past, but that you finally understood him and decided to fulfill his last wish, not just because Star Soul asked you to do it, Aegwynn, but because you wanted to do it."
"Cheer up."
Diakum patted Silver Hand Warhammer at hand, and he said to Aegwynn:
"After the "Tyr power" remaining in this artifact is stripped away, a "container" must be found. With the power of Tyr, even the remaining power is enough to create a Arcane demigod. Although I hate Titan Keepers, the power of Arcane is not evil. At this moment, we should use these powers properly.
So, I plan to complete a "ritual" through this.
Which card in our "hand" do you think is qualified to wield the power from True God of Order?"
