(Additional update for "DiejiaGuo" brothers [5/5])
"Vigilant and Archbishop Nali are back!"
Huntress Shantok, who had been waiting outside Ambori Village, rushed into the room where the rangers were resting at dawn and told everyone the good news. She said excitedly:
"The two adults must have fought their way through the siege of Orcs before they could return. Although it was not yet dawn and the sky was very dark, I could still see the scars on their bodies. They were both very tired.
The archbishop's armor is badly damaged, which shows that he has experienced a great war! They must have killed Orcs!"
"Oh, I have experienced a "war"."
The second commander of the rangers, the ten thousand-year veteran Yura, rolled his eyes around. While putting away the card game cards on the table, he took the opportunity to tear off the disgraceful note stuck on his face, and said to the other brothers and sisters who were playing cards:
"Why don't you go out to greet him quickly? Shantok, hurry up and prepare hot water and find a set of clean clothes. I think the archbishop will take a bath when he comes back soon."
"Ah?"
The young but brave huntress was stunned. She said doubtfully:
"Shouldn't you treat an injury first? What kind of operation is taking a direct bath? Aren't you afraid of wound infection?"
"If you are asked to prepare, just prepare. It is difficult for a ranger without a sharp eye to get promoted! The most important thing in our line of work is to learn to observe people's emotions. Anyway, you listen to me, you are right!"
The old-timer won't harm you, right?"
Yura doesn't want to explain too much.
After all, she had to save some face for her old commander, but when she really saw Archbishop Nali, even though her nerves had been honed to extremely toughness after more than 20,000 years of exile, the elite ranger couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Isn't this too exaggerated? How many times have you done this? How did it get like this?"
"Shut up!"
Neri glared hard at his subordinate who was famous in Argus's hometown for being unscrupulous.
If we hadn't worked together as a team during the Assassin Court period and had developed relationships over the years, Yura would have been sent to the frontier or "cut off" during a dangerous mission due to his bad habit of talking nonsense.
"Come here and help me."
The archbishop whispered something, and Yura quickly stepped forward to support the weak Neri. Then he noticed the exaggerated hickeys on the archbishop's neck, and glanced at it and found that his tail seemed to be red and swollen.
"It's too exaggerated."
Yura "Pupillary Earthquake" lamented:
"Even just by looking at me, you can tell how fierce the "battle situation" is. It is indeed "Holy Gun" Dick, which makes the legendary ranger unable to resist. Please wait for a while. Shantok is going to prepare hot water."
"You"
For Yura's untimely but strangely appropriate "advance preparation", Neri didn't know whether to scold her or praise her for a moment.
This guy has one thing that stands out, and this is probably why she can still sit firmly in the position of commander after talking nonsense for so many years.
Not long after, a bucket filled with hot water was delivered to the room. Neri wanted to kick the adjutant out and take a bath to refresh herself. She would have to attend a combat meeting later, but she was too tired and couldn't lift her hands. She had to let Yura, a "good sister", help her.
As soon as the armor was taken off, Yura's eyes immediately widened.
Wow!
It is worthy of the accumulation of emotions for more than 20,000 years. Look at the horrific results when this passion breaks down. Neri is covered with hickeys. Oh my god, how hungry are you two?
"Shut up!"
The Archbishop scolded her in advance and blocked Yura's mouth. She lay down in the warm water and bathed before relaxing. Her numb body quickly regained its energy, but then she felt pain again.
She rubbed her forehead and whispered:
"Obviously I've been treated, but it's just like fighting a battle."
"What? All the healing techniques were used?"
Yura, who was walking over with some clothes, heard Neri sigh and was "shocked" again, but she was very smart and didn't talk nonsense, but complained in her heart about her good-for-nothing boyfriend.
Why can't he do something similar?
By the way, since Genedar crashed into Draenor, I and my boyfriend have not been in contact for almost three hundred years.
I hope that guy doesn't mess around outside. Although for Eternal Life's Eredar, occasional cheating is a daily affair, but Yura considers herself to be a relatively conservative woman.
A few minutes later, Yura, who couldn't help but ask a few more private questions, fled in panic and was driven out of the room by several angry bullets. She held her head and complained that the old woman was bored, and rushed out the door, planning to eat something first, and then come back to continue guarding for the Archbishop.
As a result, when I was cursing all the way to the village kitchen, I happened to see a familiar figure sitting there, grabbing the leftovers and feasting.
"Hey, Dick Commodore! Why are you eating leftovers? Why don't you ask the cook to come over and help you heat up the food?"
Yura exclaimed:
"You are the hero who saved Ambori Village, and you are Saint."
"Shut up! Don't make any noise. Are you here to have a midnight snack too? Come on, I'll share some with you."
Dick casually gave half of the leftovers he found to Yura.
This naughty guy was not polite, he walked over and sat at the table and started eating voraciously.
She and Dick are old friends.
The two worked together when Awakeners' Cult was doing trouble with Oronaar City. Later, Thirty Day War followed Dick Commodore and played the whole game. She is also a veteran of Hand of Argus, and she still has Argus Heart Pendant hanging around her neck.
Compared with other Draenei's exaggerated respect and love for Diakum, Yura's reaction is much more real.
After eating a piece of Clefthoof red sausage, she looked left and right, and asked in a low voice:
"How's it going? Neri boss tastes good, right?"
"Well, it's very smooth."
Saint vaguely gave a super high evaluation.
This made Yura's eyes light up.
Sure enough, compared to the shy old maid, Mr. Holy Gun is more open-minded.
So she asked a few more intimate details, leaving Dick speechless. He put down his spoon and looked at Yura helplessly. This old friend's eyes were wide open, filled with all kinds of gossip.
"I think it's better if we don't discuss these issues. I don't want to see you being punished by Neri to serve as a scout on the border."
Dick changed the topic smoothly and cunningly in an old man's "for your own good" tone, and asked:
"Where's your friend? Why don't you see him?"
"Oh, Malas, after leaving Argus, he went to Army of the Light, and then joined Lightforged Fleet, commanded by S'fraelx, and traveled around the various shelter planets of Eredar all day long.
On the surface, he is responsible for delivering military orders and recruiting new soldiers, but in fact, he also does some Black Market business to save some money."
Yura said casually:
"He said that he would save money to buy a sightseeing boat from Ethereal of Consortium, and then he would take me to roam the sea of stars after Argus was restored. But I felt that it was probably a bad man lying to me, but when I went out, I had to save him some face, so I pretended to believe it.
Alas, I haven't contacted my boyfriend for more than two hundred years since Genedar fell into this damn edge world.
I'm afraid he thought I was sacrificed."
"My condolences."
Dick said casually:
"But this is an opportunity to test your relationship, isn't it? Those loyal Eredar will stay single long after their partner leaves.
But since your boyfriend is the recruiter of Army of the Light, he must know a lot about other shelters in Eredar. I am very concerned about the situation in those places now. Tell me about it.
Previously, in Orcs's Holy Land, I met a Greater Demon who called himself "Polluter", and it said that it had been hunting down our people all these years."
"Yes! Corrupted Cenarius, a super bastard who is good at using plague and controlling death!"
Yura gritted his teeth and said:
"Before it appeared, the actions to hunt down our people were all under the command of Kil'jaeden's generals "Destroyer" Mannoroth. He was a stupid and powerful big-ass demon leader who acted arbitrarily but lacked regulations. Although world invasions would break out from time to time, they were small-scale and controllable.
Coupled with the protection of Lightforged Fleet and Army of the Light, in the more than 10,000 years that Destroyer has been chasing us, Burning Legion's invasion of our people has not caused serious losses.
But Polluter is different!
It is here to exterminate Eredar!
In less than two hundred years after it came to power, seven Eredar shelter worlds were breached and destroyed by Annihilation, and even more shelters had to be relocated due to the influence of the plague demon army under its command.
That bastard proudly calls itself the "Destroyer of Eredar", and it regards this as its great achievement.
That guy aspires to become one of the three demonic giants of the Burning Legion, but he obviously cannot compare with veteran leaders like the Conqueror Kil'jaeden who focuses on conquering the star sea, and the Shaper Sargerei who hides in the world of Argus and has no idea what he is doing.
This guy's behavior is completely different from the other two Great Demon Lord. He is the purest kind of devil! Saint, that Polluter has done all the violent acts you can think of about devils!
It delights in destruction."
"That's its job."
Dick said while drinking Clefthoof spicy beef offal soup to replenish the lost energy:
"It admitted this to me personally, and said that Kil'jaeden and Sarkir were unwilling to push their former compatriots too much, so they specifically asked it to perform this duty. I am very curious, does Army of the Light know the specific origin of Corrupted Cenarius?"
"I did share some news."
Yura thought for a while and replied:
"Probably during the time when Eredar's shelter was being breached, Army of the Light issued a threat announcement about Polluter to all Eredar Star Sea Clan.
It is said that that guy and several generals of destruction under his command all came from the same world where Legion Invasion was burned. It was an unprecedented battle that was personally directed by Kil'jaeden and assisted by the Shaper Sargerei.
Polluter is a typical example of someone who was single-handedly led to fall by the Shaper. It was one of the most glorious victories achieved by the Burning Legion in a difficult tug-of-war.
There are also rumors that Polluter was once World Guardian with outstanding achievements in its world, just like your status in Eredar's mind.
In short, they were all good people once, but now they are all heinous villains.
But the world they come from is indeed awesome. According to the second-hand information Army of the Light obtained from Ethereal, that world withstood Burning Legion's full-scale invasion, and even repelled Burning Legion after paying a heavy price.
That's something even we and Odachi couldn't do."
"Oh? Polluter also has an accomplice?"
Dick became interested. He sipped the soup and asked:
"Tell me more about it, since this guy enjoys hunting Annihilation Eredar, then I don't mind giving him a Eredar's Avenging Wrath when possible!"
"Very good! We just need a mighty warrior like you to take action."
Yura eagerly took a bite of the big red sausage, and then introduced to Dick:
"Polluter has three fierce Greater Demon as its minions, namely "Annihilator" who is in charge of Fel Ghost Wolf Pack "Lycantos", "Demolisher" Agamaggan who controls endless brute force, "Nightmare Tyrant" Eranikus who controls nightmares and corruption.
These three Greater Demon are guilty of destroying the Eredar sanctuary world.
Like their evil masters, they are stained with the blood of their compatriots, and Army of the Light's Lightforged Warrior have a deep-seated hatred for them.
They are also the claws and teeth used by Polluter to destroy the world. The cunning and evil leader of Greater Demon generally does not appear in person unless the world invasion he faces is very unsatisfactory.
It is said that it is in charge of a decadent demon army forged from death, plague and Fel, which is a die-hard loyalist composed of the fallen Druid and the guys called "Fel Elves"."
"Those fallen Druid leaders shouldn't be called "Malfurion", right?"
Dick digested the information and asked again. Yura shook his head and said:
"No! I have never heard of that name, but I know that Nightmare Tyrant commands a tainted magic dragon Burning Legion. That is a real behemoth! It is not the pathetic Two-Headed Wyvern subspecies in the Draenor world.
It is said that Army of the Light and the magic dragon Burning Legion fought several times, and both sides suffered losses.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
In short, based on our current understanding of the Burning Legion, the Polluter faction is already a pillar among the Big Three of demons that cannot be ignored. It is only a matter of time before Polluter and the Conqueror are on equal footing with the Shaper.
That's not a good thing for us.
I heard Malas say to me that it is said that Polluter does not like to control thousands of demons to roughly attack a certain world. It prefers to use "its own people", but this is because the command rights of orthodox demons are all in the hands of the Conqueror Kil'jaeden, and Polluter cannot intervene at all, so it can only command some fringe demons Burning Legion.
Although the two parties occasionally cooperate, for the most part they work independently.
According to those Ethereal businessmen with amazing intelligence networks, there is also a power struggle among Great Demon Lord."
"What about Sarkir?"
Dick finally asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment. He said:
"Polluter formed the army of decayed demons, and the Conqueror controls the orthodox demons. What about the Shaper? What kind of power does our "old friend" Sarkir have?"
"Well, it has the least amount of faction information."
Yura sighed and said:
"It's not that Army of the Light's scouts are incompetent, it's mainly because that guy spends most of his time at Argus. It rarely takes the initiative to participate in the Burning Legion's actions to destroy the star sea, but every war it participates in will cause quite exaggerated scenes.
As for the main body of power under its command,
It's Man'ari!"
The high-level ranger said in a complicated tone through gritted teeth:
"Sarkir used Fel to corrupt our noble people and keep them firmly under his control.
He will claim to be a kind of "protection". In addition to a large number of high-level Man'ari as a spellcasting force, the Shaper also controls the intelligence system of the Burning Legion. I heard that all Nathrezim demons and Shivarra Destroyer Witch are directly at its disposal.
The good news for the One is that Kil'jaeden and Sarkir really seem to follow some rules.
They will not actively invade our refuge on a large scale, so some tribesmen believe that Kil'jaeden and Sarkir still have consciences in their hearts, and those impulsive fools have tried to contact them to "help" them.
The result, as you can imagine, is just like a meat bun beating a dog.
But you just said that you encountered the projection of Polluter at Orcs Holy Land?
Ah, this can explain the strange behavior of Orcs. Those idiots were driven by the demons to become minions without knowing it, especially the Shadow Council who was jumping up and down!"
Yura cursed:
"According to the information obtained by our scouts, most of Orcs's current war craze is caused by those Warlocks with evil intentions!"
"When you realize that Orcs has begun to involve Fel, you should take resolute action! Now we have lost the opportunity."
Dick shook his head and sighed:
"Those young Draenei don't know the dangers involved, and neither do you veterans who have been around for thousands of years? I don't believe that Velen and Father Haddon will still be hesitant when receiving such information?
I have just "taught" Neri, so now I want to ask, what happened to our tribe to make you lose your vigilance to this point in this world?
You allowed Fel's minions to operate under your nose for almost ten years?"
"It's not Archbishop Nali's fault, although that sultry old woman is probably happy to be "punished" by you."
Yura curled his lips and then whispered:
"Now Draenei is managed by Bishop Council. Saint and Velen Great Prophet have been cultivating themselves over the years. Grand Executor Haddon controls military force as the foundation of the tribe's security. There is no problem with these two.
The problem lies with a few archbishops.
Archbishop Akama and Archbishop Nali are both tens of thousands of veterans who have participated in the battle of Argus. Of course they know the threat of Fel, but the "young faction" headed by Governor Othaar, the leader of the caster class "But they feel that we have no reason to interfere with the internal changes of Orcs. It's not that they are unaware of the threat of demons, they just think that the pursuit of Fel by a small group of Warlock will not affect the civilization of Orcs in a short time.
The most important thing is that it is indeed too outrageous to take military action against the entire Orcs because of the abnormal movements of a small group of Warlock. We Draenei cannot do such hegemonic bad things.
Therefore, you cannot say that Archbishop Othaar underestimates the enemy.
He indeed made a decision after careful consideration. Archbishop Maladaar, the leader of the Priest class, agreed with Governor O'sar's opinion in this regard. The last archbishop Hataaru was the leader of the craftsman class. Alas, he was a pacifist.
As the leader of the Garrison Commander class, Archbishop Akama insists on tracing the traces of Fel, but he also has to coordinate the disputes between several archbishops and not be too aggressive. Therefore, the main militant faction is left with only the boss Neri.
It's hard to sing alone.
By the way, your women have been bullied to this extent, shouldn't you rush into Karabor Temple, use the majesty and power of Vigilant Saint to catch those idiots who don't know what they are called and slap them hard?"
"You just want the world to be in chaos, right? Just like the vicious maid next to Neri, your positioning of yourself is really strange."
Dick had enough to eat and drink, glanced at Yura, and said:
"And now is not the time. There must be a problem within the clan's senior leadership. We are just not sure who the problem is, but the four archbishops except Neri are all suspects.
I personally saw Akama follow Kil'jaeden back to the battlefield on the battlefield of Argus's decisive battle. He is undoubtedly a hero!
But his resentment cannot be washed away just like that.
Yura, take the rangers with you after dawn, escort the villagers of Ambori Village to Karabor Temple for refuge, and report what happened here to Velen without going through the hands of the archbishop. Hide the news of my resurrection for the time being, and only let Velen know about it.
And tell Velen not to worry about me for the time being!
I will act together with Neri to eliminate some unstable factors before Shadowmoon Valley's war officially breaks out.
If possible, I will work with Neri to try to hunt down Shadow Council and their evil leader Gul'dan. If such an operation can succeed, then there may not be a need for a full-scale war between us and Orcs.
The most important thing is that you have to escort these Orcs civilians and Ner'zhul Chieftain to talk to Velen. This is very important!"
"Ah? Escort them to Karabor Temple? At this time?"
Yura people are stupid.
The senior ranger commander sighed and said:
"At present, Orcs is frequently attacking and harassing our people in various areas. There are reports of casualties in various places. They have gathered thousands of Warrior in Shadowmoon Valley. It is self-evident what they want to do.
If we let Orcs enter the city at this time, I'm afraid they will be beaten to death by the angry radical people."
"Well, that's your problem, Yura."
Dick stood up, swung his tail and said slowly:
"You are in a good mood to care about the postures and postures used between Neri and I. I think you must have enough energy to deal with such troubles. I don't think how to transport Orcs safely will be difficult for a veteran of Hand of Argus.
In other words, if you can't even do this, then it is normal and reasonable for Neri to punish you to serve as a scout on the border."
"Ahem, I'm just curious so I can just ask. I can't do this!"
Yura screamed crazily, but obviously Dick didn't intend to give her a chance to bargain. But when the two of them sneaked out of the kitchen after eating and drinking, Dick thought of one more thing.
He said to the frowning Yura:
"I heard from Nubodon that Maraad, the son of Malderan Commodore, is now working under Archbishop Akama?"
"Yes, that boy became the captain of Garrison Commander, he is quite brave."
Yura shook his tail and said:
"He was supposed to join the Garrison Commander series more than 10,000 years ago, but because he had to take care of his mother and sister, he never joined the army. It was not until more than a hundred years ago, after Malderan Commodore's widow contracted a disease and passed away in the Telmor orphanage, that Maraad became the official Garrison Commander.
But he was very brave and soon became a role model for Garrison Commander recruits.
In Orcs's tentative attack on Karabor Temple some time ago, that kid led a team to defeat Orcs, who was several times their size. He and Nubodon were greatly commended by Archbishop Akama, and they were about to become famous.
But this is normal.
That kid has been at Telmor all these years, which is where Hand of Argus's tens of thousands of years of veterans are stationed. Because of his father and you, the veterans have always treated him as one of their own and made great efforts to train him and teach him battlefield skills, so he has a natural talent for war."
"Very good. After you go to Karabor Temple, pass an order to Maraad for me. This is a secret order. He must complete it without anyone noticing. You can tell him that this is one of the "recruit assessments" for him to join "Hand of Argus" Burning Legion."
Dick warned:
"What I'm going to do next is a guerrilla decapitation battle in the face of a powerful enemy. We must have enough elites to act properly."
"Why bother with that?"
Yura rolled his eyes and said:
"I directly sent scouts to Telmor. Although there are less than forty thousand-year veterans left there, once they are armed, let alone Shadow Council, they can easily attack Orcs's fortress in Nataan Jungle head-on.
Although Orcs cannot exert all its power when beating them, their Holy Light Doctrine is a strong opponent to the devil.
Once Orcs summons the demon, you will have more than thirty legendary followers in minutes, and it will be easy to directly penetrate the world of Draenor."
"But they have to stay there to stabilize the threat from the direction of Nagrand."
Dick shook his head and said:
"Warsong Clan is not a weakling like Shadowmoon Clan. Once that clan launches an attack, even Warrior, led by a veteran with ten thousand years of experience, will be under great pressure. Let them stay there with peace of mind.
Shadowmoon Valley's affairs are all about me.
Hand of Argus Legion has been too House of Plagues these years, and I must select new recruits to add to it. This war has come at the right time."
He stroked his tail ring and felt the silent Star Soul will.
He said:
"Draenei has been too lazy these years. These young people need to see blood to understand the heavy oath we bear. Those weak people, those careerists, and those cultists should seize the time to enjoy the last good time.
They will soon face the discipline of "Hand of Argus".
I hope they behave decently!"
