(Additional update for brother "Southern Blazing Wind" [2/5])
The sudden danger of Auchindoun Sanctuary has come to an end. For Archbishop Maladaar, it is a real victory that Holy Land was not broken by the devil or Warlock today.
To be honest, when he saw Annihilator appearing in Draenor's world in person, his blood ran cold.
Although Draenei Clan has never faced this ferocious demonic wolf demigod or his subordinate Ghost Wolf in his previous escapes, the latter's reputation is not low-key in the star sea, especially Polluter When leads Withered Demon Army to track down and kill Eredar, the appearance of Annihilator in the Army of the Light battle report is often associated with the demise of a certain clan.
This demigod contaminated by Fel and its herd are notoriously cruel and come and go like the wind.
They once bloodbathed a sentinel world located on the border of the Army of the Light headquarters star field within a few days. Those unlucky ones who were killed by the wolves were not able to send a message for help until they were exterminated.
Compared with that ending, Auchindoun Sanctuary's luck today is very good.
No!
Can't put it down to luck!
It can only be said that Saint of Draenei single-handedly shaped this miracle of turning defeat into victory, and turned the killer trap arranged for him by the traitors Shadow Council and Sargerei into an inspiration An epic victory for people's hearts. Even though Vigilant failed to purify Annihilator demon wolf in the end, it defeated Ghost Wolf's army with less than one-twentieth the opponent's number. This in itself is an undeniable feat.
However, the Archbishop would be very weak now. He could not even stand up and could only sit on the battlefield where he had fought, panting. It was not because of his kidney deficiency, but simply because he had just personally experienced the enhanced power given by Argus Heart, and was exhausted by the experience of controlling World Power.
So there is no shame in the current embarrassment.
On the contrary, it is a rare honor to fight against the devil and win under the watchful eyes of Star Soul!
Compared to those Warriors who were still immersed in the joy of victory and were searching the battlefield with high morale under the leadership of their commanders, Archbishop Maladaar felt more information from the "miracle" just now.
He finally understood why 25,000 years ago, Eredar could persist for thirty days under the all-out attack of the Burning Legion and send away most of the tribe to complete the victory.
Even a moment of blessing from the power from Star Soul is enough for him to realize the strategic value of this "supreme power". However, it is precisely because of personal experience that Maladaar can confirm that something is wrong with Argus Star Soul at this time!
He is too weak!
Perhaps after being infused with Fel for more than 20,000 years, His remaining great power was very little.
The war enhancement he can give Draenei has not reached the level of "Invincible" it once was, and this enhancement may have a "time limit". After all, after Annihilator withdrew from the battlefield, Warden Diacum almost immediately canceled the group release of power. This detail itself speaks for itself.
"We can't rest yet."
Motivated by some urgency and worry that cannot be told to others, Maladaar, who was weak after the outbreak, said to the adjutant beside him:
"Immediately cooperate with Hunter Cavalry under General Jayde to clear the battlefield, and at the same time send a message to Grand Executor Haddon. I need him to mobilize an elite garrison from Shattrath City to assist in defense. Our Warrior has experienced casualties in today's battle, and they need rest to return to their most determined state.
Also, Auchenai priests' internal self-censorship is immediately accelerating!
Today's crisis is once enough!
I can no longer allow those traitors who are still hiding to try to sacrifice our Holy Land to their devil or Orcs master. Although today is a glorious victory day, today is also a day of shame for Auchenai.
The demons outside did not break through our Holy Land, but the traitors inside almost destroyed the loyalty of the people for more than 20,000 years.
Curse those devil-worshipping scum!"
"You need not worry about that, Archbishop."
The loyal Soulbinder Tu'ranni who followed Maladaar through the whole game of "Sanctuary Defense War" sighed and said:
"Just now a sister reported to me that those traitors were hiding in Holy Land to support Orc Warlock Teron'gor to rebel against Holy Land, but were successfully Execute by Maraad and his companions. Those should be the last few traitors hidden among us."
"This kind of thing must be done away with! No smoldering flames can be left behind, the entire Holy Land must be cleaned up from beginning to end."
Maladaar sat on a stone sculpture that was shattered by the wolf's claws. He kicked the legendary demon wolf in front of him that he had killed, and cursed in a low voice:
"I now fully agree with Vigilant's proposal to rebuild Assassin Court. Our clan is simply a sieve that leaks air everywhere. There are devil worshipers everywhere deceiving people. If we resist the invasion of the Burning Legion in this state, then we and the world will be doomed!"
Turalyon, you are my most trusted disciple and lieutenant. I want you to join Assassin Court on behalf of the Auchenai priest.
Don't worry, you won't join permanently.
I just serve as a representative to assist Archbishop Nali in completing the review of all levels as soon as possible. Those traitors who have been hiding deep must be uncovered before they cause irreparable damage!
Would you like that?"
Soulbinder Tu'ranni did not answer immediately.
The brave and loyal Holy Land priest glanced back at the Auchindoun Sanctuary behind her. The aftermath of the tragic battle shrouded the originally solemn and sacred Holy Land in a state of desolation. She saw the injured who were being carried away from the battlefield on stretchers by the Priest.
As Soulbinder who comforts the dead souls, she can even see some lonely souls wandering in the area where they just fought.
They didn't have to die. Draenei Clan lost these Defender today.
This scene made Turalyon hold the crystal staff in her hand tightly. She took a deep breath and said to her mentor and superior:
"My duty at Auchindoun Sanctuary is to protect Star Soul Fragment and complete the inheritance ceremony. Now that the nodes gathered by Star Soul Fragment have been taken over by Vigilant, I have no reason to stay at Holy Land, my mentor.
As you said, I have never hated those traitors who have abandoned their dignity and kindness as much as I do today!
I hope to get your permission. I want to join Assassin Court or Judgment Court permanently. I don't want to see the same tragedy happen in other cities of ours.
For this reason, I would rather live in the shadows from now on and become a dagger to protect the people!"
"You made this choice because of your sister Niaami, right?"
Maladaar looked at his most outstanding disciple, he sighed and said:
"I never thought that Niaami would choose to summon demons to attack Vigilant in public in Karabor Temple. Now it seems that it is more like a bait to lure Vigilant to come to Auchindoun Sanctuary and step into an ambush.
What a bunch of vicious guys. Not only do they not value other people's lives, they don't even care about their own lives.
You want to find out why Niaami surrendered to the enemy, right?"
"Yes, I won't hide that from you, Master."
Turalyon said with a sad tone:
"I don't believe that my sister will fall overnight. Something must have affected her. I hope to trace the source and prevent more Auchenai priests from going astray like her.
I believe I can get the answer under Archbishop Nali."
"Okay, after the aftermath here is dealt with, I will recommend you to join Archbishop Nali."
Maladaar nodded. He was about to get up and arrange the next thing when he saw a Garrison Commander riding Talbuk running over. As he approached, he pulled the reins and performed a military salute. He said loudly:
"Archbishop, Vigilant calls you to go to Holy Land. He has important news to share with you! It is said to be related to the devil worshipers hidden in Holy Land."
"Huh?"
This summons made the Archbishop use his weapon to prop up his body, and he mounted Talbuk with some difficulty.
But before leaving, the Archbishop took another look at the huge and exaggerated Ghost Wolf corpse at his feet. Such demon wolf corpses would be everywhere on the battlefield. The Fel beasts did not take these things with them when they evacuated.
"We should probably skin off these skins and send them to Shattrath City."
Maladaar suggested to his adjutant:
"Let the best craftsmen among us use these trophies to make protective gear, which can be used as a commemoration of victory and to replenish armaments. The fur of these Ghost Wolf is very tough. My sword was cut off before I could barely cut off this guy's head."
"I think we can let those traditional Orcs people help."
Turalyon rolled his eyes and whispered:
"Orcs people are generally good at handling leather. The most important thing is that they may still not believe in the existence of demons, but if they see these ferocious demon wolves with their own eyes, they will have to face this problem.
Diakum the Saint also chopped off the tail and claws of Annihilator Lycantos in the battle just now.
He may not care about this personally, but we cannot ignore Saint's protective feat today. I will go to our quartermaster soon to see if I can make a marching cloak for Saint."
"Well, I'll leave these to you,"
Maladaar gave some instructions and left the battlefield following Garrison Commander's summons.
When he entered Holy Land, which was under martial law, he saw at a glance Yrel and Nubodon guarding the entrance of the Audience Hall. However, in addition to these two recruits following Vigilant, there was also a strange-looking "person" standing beside them.
The guy was wearing a Vigilant hood, covering her face and most of her body, but you could barely tell that she was a foreign woman.
"Archbishop, Saint is treating Maraad and Eredath in the hall. Some seriously injured Warrior are also being temporarily placed in the hall for treatment. He said he would be out in a moment and asked you to wait here."
Nubodon stepped forward and explained. Maladaar nodded and sat on the chair, looking curiously at the vigilant alien. He could feel that the other person's eyes under the hood were also observing him.
So he asked in a low voice:
"Who is this?"
"Well, we don't know either."
Nubodon whispered what had just happened to Maladaar. When he learned that the other party was a powerful alien hunter who entered Draenor through the demon's portal and had the lifelong goal of hunting demons, the archbishop was immediately in awe.
Only a race like Draenei, which has been dealing with demons for more than 20,000 years, knows how difficult and dangerous it is to hunt demons persistently.
And after hearing that this hunter had temporarily become Draenei's ally at the invitation of Vigilant, and that she had personally killed the abominable traitor Lathorn and the legendary Warlock Teron'gor, after protecting the safety of Holy Land, as the local person in charge, Maladaar immediately stood up and bowed to Demon Hunter to express his personal gratitude.
"The problem now is that we can't communicate with her."
Yrel whispered to the Archbishop:
"Only Saint can understand foreign languages with the blessing of Holy Light, but I tried it just now. The language she speaks is almost as complex as Ancient Eredar's language. There are at least seven or eight adverbs and tonal changes in one sentence. It sounds like a bird singing.
I even doubt whether the language called "Thalassian" by Saint can be produced by our vocal cords."
"What's so difficult about this?"
The archbishop smiled, and he used gestures to ask the other party if he could accept communication under the blessing of the spell. The other party hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded.
Not only is Draenei interested in Demon Hunter, the alien hunter who is chasing Annihilator is also very interested in these blue-skinned hoofed people. She also hopes to communicate with Draenei besides Diakum the Saint who makes her feel dangerous.
So Maladaar cast the spell himself, using an exquisite "Mind Vision" to connect everyone's spirits together.
However, when the Archbishop extended his mental power to the opponent's body, at the moment of mental contact, he seemed to see a black demon with fangs and claws spreading its wings towards him, causing the Archbishop to subconsciously hold the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"It's just my inner demon. Don't worry. It's very calm now. It's even too calm for me to feel comfortable with."
A hoarse voice then sounded, explaining in a low voice:
"I think this Dark Entity is also afraid of your Vigilant Saint. That is the most powerful and aggressive Holy Light power user I have ever seen after embarking on the hunting road for more than ten thousand years. It is right for "monsters" like us to fear him."
"Inner demon?"
Yrel stared at Demon Hunter in front of her, and she said doubtfully:
"Is this a philosophical description? Or?"
"It literally means, brave Draenei female Warrior."
Demon Hunter leaned on the other side of Soulway in a relaxed but ready-to-hurry posture. She explained to the three Draenei in front of her:
"There is a demon in my body that is entangled with my soul. It is a monster I cultivated with my spirit through a sacrifice 10,000 years ago. It is my "source of power" and provides me with the ability to sense, hunt, wield Fel without being contaminated, and swallow the demon to grow.
My "personal relationship" with it is very complicated.
It is precisely because we Demon Hunter have our own inner demons that we have cultivated in our bodies that we are able to deceive Burning Legion's induction and use their portals to carry out hunting missions among the stars. This is why I appear in your world.
Under the command of Lord Illidan, I have been tracking Annihilator and his herd in the sea of stars for more than a thousand years.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
But today is the first time I have seen them operating on such a large scale!"
Speaking of this, Commander Demon Hunter Arantien seriously reminded:
"What you see today is only a small part of the wolf plague pioneers of the Annihilator beast herd. The Fel Ghost Wolf in the star sea are gathering in your world at the call of their leader beast. There are also Fel Elves and Plague Druid under the Polluter faction walking with them.
This means they have made your world the next battlefield of destruction.
I can't confirm whether Nightmare Tyrant and Demolisher will participate in the invasion, but believe me, even if it's just Annihilator and its herd, you have to do your best if you want to survive.
The world is too small."
She sighed, shook her head and said:
"Based on Illidari's past experience, you simply cannot find enough resources to fight against the demon army. You may be exterminated within a month or two, and the world will be reduced to the sad residue left by Fel."
"Thank you for the reminder, madam. The information you provided is very important to us."
Archbishop Maladaar replied seriously, and then asked:
"I heard you mention the terms "Illidari" and "Illidan". Are those your organization and family?"
"Illidari is my organization, and it is filled with Darkwalkers who, like me, have sacrificed everything for the cause of slaying demons. We robbed a demon battleship during Burning Legion's attack on our hometown 10,000 years ago.
We named it 'Vengeance' and that was our base of operations."
Arantien reached out and touched her arm. On her left arm was a Illidari veteran medal made from the skull of a superior demon. She then changed to a more serious tone and said:
"As for Lord Illidan, he is not my family.
He is our spiritual leader, training mentor and War Commander!
In these more than ten thousand years, it is precisely because of Lord Illidan's leadership and wise command that we have continuously achieved various glorious victories. I have seen your admiration for Diakum the Saint, so you can regard Lord Illidan's status in our hearts as the respected status of Vigilant in your eyes."
"Have you existed for ten thousand years? Are you also the Eternal Life species?"
Nubodon immediately caught the key points in Demon Hunter's words. He who had been silently recording the conversation stood up and said:
"Then do you know the existence of "Army of the Light"? They have also been fighting against demons for the past 25,000 years."
"I know, and I've dealt with him before."
Arantien frowned, she hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, she said:
"It is precisely because I have seen how the Lightforged Warriors of Army of the Light bravely slaughtered demons that I helped you just now. I know that you have some connections with them. But with all due respect, compared to your radical and disgusting compatriots, you seem to be a lot more "normal".
The few contacts between Illidari and Army of the Light ended in failure. They regarded us as a hidden danger like demons, and the leader of Army of the Light seemed to have a very strange feeling towards Lord Illidan.
How to say?
I think the legendary ancestor Naaru is a madman!
My brothers and sisters think so too.
However, Army of the Light is really powerful. Under the leadership of Lord Illidan, after thousands of years of planning and accumulation, we finally found and destroyed Nathrezim's home star. At the same time, they also protected the entire star field from the destruction of demons all year round.
There is a safe area in Burning Crusade, which shelters many refugees who have lost their hometown. However, there are no demons nearby for us to hunt, so Illidari will not go near there.
Alright!
I've satisfied a lot of your curiosity, now it's your turn to answer my questions."
This Demon Hunter made a gesture and said:
"This question may be a bit presumptuous, but I'm really curious about what kind of connection there is between you Draenei, Lightforged Warrior of Army of the Light, and Eredar of the Burning Legion?
Let's talk about it.
In addition, let me talk about the past events of "The Conqueror" Kil'jaeden and "The Shaper" Sarkir that you know. Illidari has been pursuing these secrets. We hope to find ways to restrain these dangers Great Demon Lord."
Her request was not too much, so Maladaar took some time to tell the story of Argus to the alien in front of her.
She was taking detailed records, which was obviously a good habit among hunters.
Although she wears an eyepatch and does not hide the fact that she is "blind," her lack of vision does not affect Arantien's daily life. She shows a series of dexterity and agility that are even more fierce than normal people.
This also proves that the information informed by Maladaar is indeed valuable to Illidari.
Demon Hunter can obtain information by torturing demons, but Eredar must be the only one who knows the past of Eredar best. Kil'jaeden and Sarkir will not be big-mouthed and blow whistles to the demons under their command all day long.
Especially after Arantien learned that Draenei's current leader, prophet Velen, was the brother that Kil'jaeden never forgot, her surprise and surprise were beyond words.
"Master Illidan will definitely be interested in this news! I must see the prophet!"
Demon Hunter said with some excitement:
"If those outrageous rumors are true, then we can completely use the Velen prophet to set up a "trap" to introduce "The Conqueror" Kil'jaeden into it and then carry out an extermination attack on it.
Just like what we did at Nathreza! One fatal blow and cut off one of the Burning Legion's claws!"
"With all due respect, Ms. Arantien, you are thinking about something very dangerous. I will never allow your Lord Illidan to send my leader and old friend to the battlefield as bait, and I don't think Kil'jaeden will do what you want in this matter.
In fact, if it sees the way you treat old Velen, I'm afraid Illidari will suffer first."
Dick's voice sounded from behind.
Vigilant, who had just completed group treatment for nearly a hundred injured, strode out with Battle Staff on his back. Lelan followed him and looked at Arantien with a slightly hostile look.
This audacious Demon Hunter actually dared to say in front of an archbishop and a Saint that she would use the leader of Draenei as a bait, and it seemed that she was not joking. Well, what kind of crazy plan is this?
"This is just a possibility of cooperation between the two parties, Vigilant. You cannot deny that your prophet does have strong tactical value in the eyes of hunters."
Arantien took a step back.
Perhaps the inner demon in her body was warning her to stay away from this "Holy Light monster".
"Even if you and Illidari's so-called "tactical value" is successful, it is only to get rid of one Great Demon Lord, but the point of defeating Burning Legion has never been these Greater Demon."
Vigilant waved his hand and said:
"There is no way to control Dark Titan. No matter how great your advantage is, all the battles you fight against us will end in failure. With all due respect, in the fight against demons, strength is the most insignificant factor that affects victory.
I need to meet Illidan!
Draenei Clan is very willing to become a long-term ally with Illidari. We have common enemies and common interests.
In fact, I can share with you some definite news.
Burning Legion has set its sights on your hometown Azeroth. They are eager to complete the destruction that they failed to complete ten thousand years ago. You don't have to doubt the authenticity of this news. This is the information I got from the Shaper Sargerei.
The most important thing is that this matter was most likely arranged by Dark Titan himself.
I know that Illidan and your "Vengeance" cannot arrive in a short time, so I can wait patiently, but my people cannot wait, so, Ms. Arantien, let us start working now."
"Work?"
Maladaar looked at Vigilant in confusion, he had not forgotten the reason why he was summoned.
"Yes, we immediately started investigating the devil worshipers in Auchindoun Sanctuary."
Dick said to the Archbishop:
"Ms. Arantien is a hunter who scares demons in the star sea. She and her hunting brothers sacrificed their own eyes in exchange for the sharpest Spectral Sight. No demon can hide themselves from them.
Even the faint traces left by Fel will be accurately caught by her.
You can definitely trust her in hunting demons, and we need such a pair of "Eagle Eyes" now. I have summoned Neri. She will arrive at Holy Land in a few hours, but you must act immediately, Maladaar.
I can't stay at Auchindoun for too long, I still have my work to complete, so before tomorrow morning, I want to see a pure Auchindoun.
Time is running out, act now! Sniff out and deal with those traitors!"
"As commanded."
