Guidance from the Loa
Bolvar was naturally not dead. His selection as commander-in-chief by the Alliance was due not only to his illustrious status and background, but also to his personal strength. After all, in this world, commander ability is primarily assessed by strength, with command skills and strategic vision being secondary.
Bolvar not only survived, but also racked up quite a few kills. The cheers that erupted on the battlefield after Zul'ra killed the scepter insectoid were because he led his army to take the heads of the insectoid high commander Prophet Skeram, Battleguard Sartura.
Zul'ra wasn't envious of Bolvar's achievements at all, because he had also gotten two kills, and the most valuable ones at that. The two twin worms he had taken down were the Twin Emperors of the Qiraji, the highest leaders of the swarm.
The insectoids of Ahn'Qiraj have lost all will to resist and are fleeing in disarray. However, their numbers are still a major headache for the Allied Forces. Night is falling, and the Allied Forces have not yet achieved complete victory, because the Old Gods C'Thun is still underground in this Titans ruin.
As long as C'Thun doesn't die, it's only a matter of time before the Zerg swarm returns. Even though the swarm's leader has been largely eliminated, they haven't given up and waited for their doom. Instead, they've retreated back to their hive and burrowed underground.
Dealing with the evil god C'Thun, who is lurking deep underground, is no easy task. The problem is that Zul'ra can't find a good solution either. Bolvar isn't doing anything productive right now; he's still leading a team to kill the insectoids!
Zul'ra temporarily instructed Jonathan to find a knight to run the horse and give orders, so that the allied soldiers would follow the dragonmen and dragon beasts to clear out the dragonmen in the ruins under cover of night, and at the same time gather the wounded soldiers and have the Priest treat them.
After dismissing Jonathan, Zul'ra looked up at the bright moon in the sky and used magic to quickly build a simple altar in the square in front of the Gray Palace in the ruins. Then she planted the Banner of Many Spirits on it and had the soldiers collect the corpses of the insectoids and pile them around the altar to offer sacrifices to the many Loa.
Under Zul'ra's guidance, the insectoid corpses piled around the altar ignited with blue flames, and as these flames rose, the shadowy Loa descended upon Zul'ra once more.
"Gods, I offer the entire insectoid race of Ahn'Qiraj as Consecration, and I beg you to tell me how to deal with the immense hidden danger beneath this place." Zul'ra looked at the descending image of the Loa and offered his request.
"As you wish." All the Loa replied in unison. With their reply, the flames of light from the insectoid corpses around the altar suddenly rose. The blue flames, like tentacles, stretched out in all directions in the darkness. In the ruins of the city, the desert, and even underground, all the living and dead insectoids were seized by these tentacles, and then all their life force was drained away.
"We do not have the power to kill that being." Among the gods who received the massive sacrifice, a bear spirit spoke first, and before Zul'ra could open her mouth, an eagle-shaped Loa chimed in.
"But you have a way to kill him."
"He represents destruction, he represents madness, and he cannot be killed by the forces of this world."
"But you have a way to kill Him." Numerous deities took turns describing indescribable horrors, but this one sentence remained constant. This charlatan's reply made Zul'ra roll his eyes, but fortunately, he soon received a more specific response.
"There is no power in this world that can defeat Him, only madness against madness, and the knot is in your hands." The serpentine Loa with horns and claws replied in a unique way. With His words, many Loa vanished on the wind, and the flames that had spread throughout the city were extinguished.
With the departure of the Loa, the entire city of Ahn'Qiraj has returned to silence. Thanks to the powerful intervention of these beast gods, the numerous insectoids who had fled underground have been precisely targeted and eliminated. Even if some remain, they are no longer of any importance, as long as C'Thun can be dealt with.
"Go, bring Bolvar here. Where is Brann? Where is Shandris?" After the flames died down and she thought carefully for a moment, Zul'ra stepped down from the altar and addressed Jonathan face was filled with awe.
"I'll go find them right now." Bolvar's adjutant, Jonathan, looked at the mysterious flames unfolding on the altar with awe in his heart. He dared not disobey Zul'ra, who was walking down from the altar, and quickly said that he would go and bring back the commanders of the allied forces.
"Go and bring everyone back. The battle is basically over, but we still have a major enemy." Zul'ra told Jonathan to go find people, then turned around and scanned the surroundings. He saw the black-maned, Blackhorn Tauren Warrior had appeared out of nowhere and quickly went over to them.
"Master Ironhoof." Zul'ra nodded slightly to the Tauren.
"Zul'ra Jin." The black-maned, Blackhorn Tauren Warrior was the leader of the Kor'kron, a formidable Warrior, and he addressed Zul'ra with utmost respect.
"How many Orcs Warrior are there in Kor'kron?" Zul'ra asked. Kor'kron's members were not of a single race, but he needed Orcs Warrior now.
"There were originally 932, I don't know how many are left now, but it shouldn't be less. They are born soldiers." Master Ironhoof praised the Orcs Warrior, for they deserved the praise. Even though they were not as tall and strong as Shu'halo and the Trolls, their fighting spirit, abilities, physique, and other comprehensive characteristics were perfect.
"Alright, prioritize treating them and make sure they regain their fighting strength. Also, organize the most determined Warrior and bring over the Shaman who have learned Fel." Zul'ra nodded.
"Yes, sir." As a Kor'kron, Master Ironhoof was full of soldierly characteristics and went to do his work without saying a word.
After sending out Master Ironhoof, Zul'ra casually found a human knight and asked him to gather the most determined knights among humans, as well as the mages behind them, and to bring a batch of supplies to the allied forces. Well, mages in the allied forces are logistics and technical personnel. Except for a very few Archmage, the other mages are not good at fighting.
The Loa effectively dealt with the insectoids, bringing the battle to a swift end. While Zul'ra went to gather forces from all sides, Bolvar, Brann, Shandris had already been brought back by Jonathan. Upon their return, Bolvar asked them what they wanted, but refused to mention anything about Zul'ra's request for the gods to intervene in the battlefield.
"The battlefield is over, but if we don't eliminate Him, we can't say we've won this battle completely." Zul'ra turned his gaze to the Gray Palace at the other end of the square.
"My spirit has guided me; will you lead us?" Zul'ra asked Bolvar.
