The team lineup is waiting for me? - Additional updates[410]
(Additional update for "Sassy XD" brothers [4/10])
When Queen Mia, who had returned to human form, was escorted to "Worgen Court" in Genn, the group of wolves operating in Gilneas City immediately became excited.
This scene is very exaggerated.
Werewolves were everywhere standing on both sides of the road or on the high walls of the ruins. No one in the usually "free" wolf pack even howled, only a pair of wild eyes staring at the queen.
Don't tell me, it's really a bit creepy.
But Queen Mia has strong political skills. She knew what she should do best in this situation, so she kept waving to the werewolves on both sides of the road to let them see her current form.
The risk of Genn's wolves losing control is increasing. To put it bluntly, there is still no firm program and goal worth striving for.
In the past, when demons invaded, everyone could still unite under the command of King Genn because of the common enemy, and Darius Crowley, the northern lord with great reputation and bravery and prowess in fighting, commanded the wolves as Genn.
But now the demon has been defeated, and the northern lord has also been captured by the Lordaeron people in Silverpine Forest, which has directly caused the Genn wolf pack to be close to the edge of disintegration.
However, the return of Queen Mia at this time is a real shot in the arm.
Werewolves do not believe in empty promises, but the living "evidence" that appears before them cannot help them disbelief. Although not all werewolves have such a strong desire to transform back into humans, this is indeed the wish of many werewolf commanders.
Precisely because they have to direct battles, they understand better how terrifying uncontrolled wild rage is, and the beast-like way of survival of werewolves really challenges the bottom line of civilized people.
Not every werewolf can swallow bloody raw meat without changing his expression.
In the final analysis, becoming werewolves was not their choice, but it was something they really couldn't do under the circumstances.
Regret is a poison.
The most vicious thing about it is that it only takes effect after the fact.
"Your Majesty and the Queen need to give a lecture and appease the wolves. Please come with me."
Genn's loyal minister, "Sharpshooter" Lord Godfrey led the four of Diakum into the palace, which was barely intact. However, Diakum suddenly stopped while walking on the palace walk.
He looked at half of the city in ruins and the still intact city on the other side, and said:
"That's where humans gather?"
"Hmm."
Lord Godfrey pushed up his top hat and said hoarsely:
"His Majesty placed all humans who were willing to follow it in Gilneas City, and strictly restricted werewolves from entering it. Although humans were still a little scared and fearful at first, over time, everyone adapted.
At present, they have become accustomed to living in the city. Although new werewolves are still born occasionally, in general, they have begun to rebuild.
werewolf
Werewolf claws can't build anything, only human hands can."
"Are you a "tribune"?"
Diakum noticed the medal on the chest of this werewolf sharpshooter who had done "big things" in the official history. He said:
"You and your werewolves are responsible for protecting the humans in the city?"
"I'm honored."
Lord Godfrey bowed gracefully in werewolf form.
Damn it, Yrel can actually feel the "elegance" from this werewolf.
This unique attitude made Yrel and the three of them look at this werewolf sharpshooter curiously. There are very few werewolves who would dress themselves up carefully in the hunting group. Currently, only Lord Godfrey is the only one who insists on getting himself a dress and tall hat suitable for the appearance of a werewolf.
Although it is difficult to get rid of the "hypocritical" first impression, after a deeper understanding, it is not difficult to find that although this Lord looks like a werewolf, he is perhaps the most human-like one.
By the way, this werewolf sharpshooter is indeed quite classy, especially the failed rose in his chest, which makes him look like a "romantic werewolf" who is obsessed with his human identity and strives to maintain his dignity.
"Do you wish to return to human form?"
When walking into the palace that exuded a cold atmosphere, Diakum stared at the rose House of Plagues on Lord Godfrey's chest, and suddenly asked:
"I can help you."
"But you didn't just say that."
The Lord was obviously at a loss. It could be seen that he was really looking forward to it, but in the end he shook his head and said:
"I cannot do this until His Majesty changes back. Please understand that although I long to return to human purity, I do not intend to subvert the royal power and order of Gilneas.
I am a loyal minister of the Greymane Family.
Loyalty is honor."
"That's it."
Vigilant nodded and did not insist. When they arrived at a reception room, two maids served refreshments to the guests. The quality was not good. They were probably made in a human gathering area and were not of royal standard at all.
But as Lord Godfrey said, it is difficult to produce werewolf claws peacefully. Therefore, given Gilneas's current situation, it is good to have these enjoyment items, and we cannot ask for more.
"I want to remind you that Queen Mia's recovery is not permanent. In fact, even after getting Scythe of Elune back, I cannot permanently remove the wild blessing of the werewolf from Gilneas's body.
Life Force's blessings have always been like this.
Once it takes root it will not fade away until life itself comes to an end."
Diakum took off Judgment Armor's helmet and pulled open the black and gold hood. He said seriously to Lord Godfrey who was sitting opposite:
"Queen Mia can't be too excited. She must learn Druid or Priest's spiritual meditation from now on to control the anger in her heart. She can't switch between humans and wolves Human Form too frequently.
It is best not to use the werewolf's power except in non-essential fights to the death.
Once the animal nature in her heart completely overwhelms the human nature, she will stay in the wolf Human Form forever and cannot recover.
Balance!
"Balance" is destined to be the spiritual core of Gilneas that will be passed down for thousands of years to come. If human nature and animality cannot be balanced, large-scale werewolf chaos will happen again.
It would be best for Druid to intervene in this matter.
It is best for werewolves to follow the path of Druid. The closeness of this career path to nature is extremely helpful for werewolves to restrain themselves. Cenarius Order is very willing to help in this matter. They have already made a mistake once and will not make the same mistake again."
Lord Godfrey grabbed the pen in an awkward posture and wrote down these suggestions seriously.
Then, it asked:
"So, after peace comes, we should organize an official pilgrimage to Mount Hyjal, right?"
"Yes, this is a very good way. The official identification can help guide the confused werewolves back to the peace of nature."
Diakum nodded.
But Yrel beside him said:
"If it is the doctrine of "balance", then our "Light-Shadow Twinborn" path is also very suitable for werewolves, sir, Lightfang Clan of Gavinrad General has proven that although werewolves have shadow affinity, they can also embrace Holy Light.
And precisely because they have shadow affinity, they are more suitable for walking the path of light and shadow."
"The werewolf is originally the creation of Life Force, and walking Holy Light and Path of the Void is a mixture of the three forces."
Nubodon shook his head and said:
"Unless they are very talented, ordinary werewolves cannot control this complex morality at all. They can easily get lost in the fanaticism of Holy Light or the whisper of the void. In addition, they themselves have the fury given by Life Force. Once they get lost, the consequences will be very terrifying.
Doing this is creating a "super freak"."
"Yes, that is an option, but it is only open to those with potential and talent."
Diakum said in a subtle tone:
"A werewolf like you, my lord."
Vigilant took out a copy of Light and Shadow Canon from his arms, pushed it to Lord Godfrey on the table, and said:
"If you are looking for some entertainment reading, you might as well learn about our beliefs. Light Weaver Order will always be open to righteous people like you who are willing to serve as tribunes in the wolf Human Form."
"Okay, thank you for your love."
Lord Godfrey wanted to say that he was an "unbeliever". Even in the past Gilneas, he was also a pan-believer of Holy Light, but people's good intentions cannot be rudely rejected.
This is the conduct of its nobles.
So it accepted the Light and Dark Scripture, and then seriously explained to Diakum:
"We should share with you the information we currently have on the situation, regarding some military arrangements in the Tirisfal area and Lordaron Kingdom.
If Marshal Lothar wants to go to Lordaeron City, I personally suggest that Silverpine Forest is the most suitable one.
Lordaeron's Dragonborn captured the Alterac royal city not long ago. The entire Alterac Mountains is currently within their sphere of influence. I don't need to say more about the dangerous terrain of that place.
Lothar If you don't have an army of 200,000, don't try to break through the Alterac Mountains and insert it directly into Tirisfal.
Secondly, Andorhal is also the area where King Terenas focuses on defense. From Andorhal to Hearthglen, Dragonborn troops are stationed on the front line, and there are an astonishing number of Dragonborn in the Stratholme area, which are the source of King Terenas's power."
Godfrey paused and said with emphasis:
"I know that you have an alliance with Quel'Thalas, and I have also heard about the "war of faith" carried out by Archbishop Faol in Light's Hope Chapel, but with all due respect, don't expect them to break through the defense of the Stratholme area in a short time.
That's simply not realistic.
If you want to stop Terenas's ambition in a short period of time, you can only rush into Tirisfal from Silverpine Forest and destroy the evil axis of Lordaeron City.
Gilneas people will help.
Especially after the Lordaeron people captured our beloved northern lord and sent that old immortal ghost Lyral Fangs of Fire to lure the werewolves into joining them with Scythe of Elune, there was no possibility of peace between the two sides.
I would suggest that Your Majesty lead the werewolves and Marshal Lothar to attack Hillsbrad Foothills personally as the first step in forming an alliance.
But."
The Lord glanced at Diakum's serious expression and said:
"In the empire established by Marshal Lothar, what position should the werewolves have? This is a very important question."
"You guys talk to Lothar about this."
Dick did not express an opinion, but just replied:
"Lothar has Lightfang Clan under the command of Gavinrad General. They are also werewolves and are your compatriots. They all came from the wild shaping of Goldrinn. There is no obvious discrimination against light-fanged werewolves in the Seventh Legion.
And as far as I know, Goldrinn is often worshiped at the shrine of Elwynn Forest.
So, this is not a racial issue, this is actually a faith issue.
Archbishop Faol has said many times that Holy Light is neither conservative nor ignorant. As long as it spreads the truth and abides by human traditions and customs, Church of the Holy Light is welcome."
"Yes."
Maraad also said:
"Moon God Priest have never been harassed in Stormwind's church. Ms. Elune's first batch of human believers have already planned to create the first Moonwell for Moon Goddess. Only Loa will compete for faith. Both Holy Light and Moon Goddess are orthodox believers.
In addition to good deeds, we do not ask believers Consecration for more."
Lord Godfrey nodded.
It is indeed a way to resolve the dispute between humans and werewolves from the perspective of faith, and the Eredar Saint in front of him has made it clear that he will not intervene in the policy shaping of the Human Empire.
This makes Godfrey respect this noble man with extremely high moral standards even more.
It thought for a while and told other information they currently had:
"Silverpine Forest's battle situation is currently very complicated. Lordaeron Dragonborn has captured Pyrewood Village, Ambermill and the Sepulcher Several towns, Priest with "Dragon Cult" are everywhere promoting extreme ideas, and we have scouted the coast and found a large number of Naga there.
Those filthy creatures have obviously formed an alliance with Dragonborn.
I don't know if you have discovered it, but there is also Haixian in the Lordaeron people's fleet. I have even heard some rumors that someone has seen the devil in Lordaeron."
"Devil?"
Yrel exclaimed:
"How could the servants of Fel appear in a place that has been occupied by void forces?"
"I don't know, but this news is very credible."
Lord Godfrey said:
"Among the Dragonborn prisoners we captured, some of them obviously had traces of Dreadlord's Mind Magic. Not all of them drank the dragon's blood voluntarily.
Oh, speaking of that.
Some time ago, we received a strange letter, which was sent from the military camp castle of Fenris Isle in the center of Lake Lordamere. It was a group of Dragonborn inviting us to participate in their "resistance".
I don't know if this is a trap.
But the letter did mention that some Dragonborn hated the current Lordaeron. They believed that King Terenas was bewitched by Lord Daval and the palace witches, so they planned to stage an "uprising".
But that was more than twenty days ago. With the terrible execution ability of Dragonborn, the uprising has probably been suppressed."
Diakum nodded, thought for a moment, and said:
"So, there are ancient werewolves, Naga Seawitch, black dragons and Dragonborn, void cultists and suspected renegade demons in King Terenas's court?
This is truly a gathering of talents.
Each of its factions has powerful ones, Lyral Fangs of Fire holding Scythe of Elune, Naga War Mistress, the grotesque creation of the black dragon, and Deathwing, Void Herald and her Ethereal servants.
Gee, this is already a true team copy mode, and there seems to be nothing we can do except pray for a 40-man team from the sky."
"You're making these jokes again that no one else understands, sir."
Yrel sighed and said:
"Marshal Lothar has a lot of high-end forces under his command. We can deal with what you mentioned, but "mythical creatures" like Deathwing and Void Herald obviously still require you to come in person.
But that's it.
This is actually not a bad thing."
Little Hooves shrugged and said in an emotional tone:
"All the demons and monsters of Eastern Kingdoms have gathered under the command of King Terenas. This means that as long as we break through Lordaeron City and kill all those evil things, the entire continent will be "clean" in an instant."
"Yes!"
Great Uncle nodded in agreement and said:
"A snake cannot survive without a head. In this battle, all the heads of those evil people will be cut off, and then Thunder will be used. Marshal Lothar's empire will be stabilized in a very short time. After that, he will only have Kul Tiras hanging overseas to deal with.
Maybe we can witness the birth of a "continental empire" with our own eyes!
A mortal empire with such a huge area, vast territory, rich products, powerful strength, and full potential is rare even in the star sea."
Diakum has no opinion on this.
He just felt that his apprentices were a little too optimistic. They might not have imagined that the end of Battle for Lordaeron was the beginning of another more grand war.
But that's okay.
After all, Maraad was right. The establishment of a mortal empire was not a bad thing for Azeroth, and the war he planned later was not something that mortals could intervene in.
"Then take action."
Dick said in a deep voice:
"I will stay with Gilneas for the time being, and help you clean up all the shadows caused by chaos on this land. King Genn will lead the werewolves out of the east, and work with Marshal Lothar to liberate Hillsbrad Foothills.
Yrel, you three go to Southshore.
As far as I know, the fleet led by Prince Derek of Kul Tiras is about to launch a raid on that important town to help them capture it and drive away the unnatural creatures."
"Yes!"
The three stood up to accept the order, and then left the palace under the leadership of Godfrey.
Diakum was left alone in the living room. He took out his sacred contract and read it for insights, but his spirit had already sunk into Sea of Darkness's insect nest.
The arrival of Light Weaver gave the busy insect nest a solemn atmosphere, but Dick did not interfere with the activities of the insects.
He was suspended above the insect nest in the form of consciousness, looking at the thousands of insects below that were transporting biomass from everywhere in a very orderly manner and sending them into the mountain-like incubation chamber to hatch all the powerful elite insects.
After a moment, Swarm Archon flapped its black elytra like blades and quietly fell down. The former elder Klaxxi knelt down in a respectful posture.
It asked humbly:
"Great Light Weaver, are you here to inspect the preparations of "War of the Eternal Cycle"? Sorry to disappoint you, the war preparations of the swarm have not been completed yet."
"I'm not disappointed."
Dick said:
"You have tried your best. Even the insect swarm needs nutrients to be strong. I am not an evil god who is inconsiderate of his subordinates.
How is the awakening progress of Swarm Mind?"
"Progressing in an orderly manner."
Executive Officer replied:
"Your Shadow Hunters has continuously sent back Azjol-Nerub Nerubian's powerful genes. Aqir Empire's insect swarm Legacy is nearly complete. After the Gene Masters decipher all the gene sequences, your insect swarm will complete the first step of supreme evolution.
At this moment, all the Hive Tyrant are leading their own hunting groups to win for you. This piece of Chaos Coast has completely fallen into our hands.
However, Sea of Darkness is too vast.
The resources of just one continent are not enough to support your insect swarm to become truly powerful."
"No need to keep it."
Light Weaver gave the order after a moment:
"Send all the harvested biomass into the incubation room to breed as many war elites as possible. You will soon be tested by Great Cycle, but I think the memory of Mantid will make you familiar with it."
Swarm Archon's elytra were shaking with excitement.
These guys are really not afraid of death.
The tens of thousands of years of Great Cycle inheritance has made them regard it as a necessary path to evolution, and they will only feel excitement and excitement.
But Swarm Archon still has questions.
It asked softly:
"Great Lord, when will Overmind wake up? Without its existence, it would be difficult for Shadow Chasing Swarm to form the core of absolute unity, and the enlightenment of Swarm Mind also requires its participation."
"It's coming soon. In just a few days, it will return even more powerfully."
Dick laughed a few times.
Before leaving here, he went to the prison where he had sealed the evil, and was pleased to see that the two Dreadlords imprisoned here had been washed away by Sea of Darkness into monsters who only knew how to scream and curse.
Then, he landed in front of Eranikus's cage. Looking at the weakened spirit, he said:
"You haven't thought about it yet? Nightmare Tyrant."
"Can I still see Ysera?"
"In another way."
Light Weaver made a triangle Holy Crest on his chest and said:
"Not only can you see her, you can also protect her, in reality and in dreams. Your hard labor will be converted into "exile", and you will fight for a greater goal like Agamaggan. Every victory will be your atonement, until the final victory comes, until the final sin is paid off, you will get the eternal Tranquility."
"Then, this broken body is willing to serve a great cause, Light Weaver, let me sleep in the shadow of my love."
