Gather Warlocks, Build Bombs, Dismantle an Evil God

Although the emergence of the Old God caused a great upheaval, it did not actually completely damage the fire tunnels of the underground caves, so the team's retreat was smooth. 🐨🍟 🐤🐼

Of the 1,325-strong group that emerged from the gray-yellow temple in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and saw the sunlight again, 964 remained. Well, C'Thun was easier to deal with than expected after its weakness was found, so the casualty rate wasn't too alarming.

In the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Bolvar once again announced the news of the victory. In an instant, cheers echoed from the city to the Scarab Wall, then to Cenarion Hold and the Valor's Rest. Soon after, the news of the victory was broadcast back to Theramore, Orgrimmar, and Darnassus, where another round of cheers erupted.

Although the news of victory was gratifying, the tallying of all the losses brought little joy to commanders including Zul'ra and Bolvar.

In the war, the Alliance's Seventh Legion suffered a loss of three-quarters of its men. Even those soldiers who continued to serve were all wounded. Among the soldiers who died directly, the knights who were responsible for directly storming the city accounted for the largest proportion, basically seven or eight out of ten. This made Bolvar, who regarded knights as a symbol of national strength, even more heartbroken.

Compared to Bolvar, Zul'ra was in no better shape. He brought a town's worth of Kor'kron, along with Shaman, Witch Doctor, and Druid who participated in the battle, totaling more than three thousand men, but half of them were lost. Meanwhile, the Goblins mercenaries that he had originally intended to use as scapegoats suffered negligible losses.

The Kaldorei losses weren't too great either; only one-fifth of their more than six thousand men were lost. This was mainly because their survivability was comparable to that of the Orcs, and the archers were mostly responsible for ranged attacks. Apart from the Kaldorei died in the Zul'ra formation, the rest suffered virtually no casualties.

After the war, the allied forces entered a period of rest and reorganization. Except for a very few people, all the soldiers withdrew from the Ahn'Qiraj region and returned to Cenarion Hold. The wounded were treated and the dead were buried. While summarizing the casualties and the battlefield situation, Zul'ra also began to think about what to do with C'Thun's body.

Because of the miraculous effects of Fel on the Old God, Zul'ra used a telegram to explain the situation to Orgrimmar, Theramore, and Darnassus, asking them to contact some Warlock to teleport over urgently and brainstorm ways to create Fel bomb to solve the problem.

Although the New Horde rejects everything from the Old Horde, they haven't completely eradicated Warlock magic. Thrall even has a Warlock warlock, Fezerul, a veteran Orc Warlock who has been assigned to the Eastern Kingdoms and is not in Orgrimmar, but there are others available.

In addition, it wasn't just Orgrimmar. The Sin'dorei, eager to contribute to the Horde, under Lirath's arrangement, captured a group of Sin'dorei Warlock from the Silvermoon City black market and sent them over. As a long-established magical nation, there are quite a few people secretly researching Warlock magic.

The Kaldorei do not tolerate the existence of Warlock, and their people do not like to study such magic. However, they have Demon Hunter. Tyrande Whisperwind personally ordered that the supervised Felornas go to Silithus to be at the command of Zul'ra.

On the other hand, the Alliance followed Silvermoon City's example. Since the government no longer supported Warlock, they went to the black market to arrest them. After all, those Warlock were illegal, so they were all caught and sent to Silithus.

In short, through the coordination of various parties, approximately 213 Warlock of various races were captured and sent to Cenarion Hold. The majority of these Warlock were humans and Sin'dorei, followed by Orcs, and also included Gnomes, Goblins, Forsaken, Trolls, and other races.

Unlike the Warlock of the Old Horde Shadow Council who defected to the demons, most of the Warlock captured now are either immature and think Warlock magic is cool, or they are tech geeks obsessed with researching demons. They can be seen as eccentric figures from the common folk.

Regardless of their skills, the extraordinary individuals in the martial arts world all share the same temperament, and these Warlock are no exception. Most of them belong to the Chaos faction, and their tempers are not good to begin with. When they are suddenly captured and sent to the Great Desert, they naturally will not cooperate well. If they were not surrounded by a large army, they might even want to summon demonic servants to cause chaos.

Faced with the Warlock ' refusal to cooperate, Zul'ra presented the grimoire she had obtained from Fel'dan and promised that if they were willing to comply, the Horde would support them in forming a group, endorse their organization, and even provide some research funding, as long as they could contribute to the world.

The warlocks were strangers to each other. Faced with Sanra's powerful methods, and after considering their perpetually dark and isolated situation, a small number of them chose to believe her. Most of them came from Silvermoon City or Orgrimmar, led by a Sin'dorei warlock named K'anomir and an orc warlock named Modak Blackfist.

Apart from a few warlocks who cooperated, most of the remaining warlocks remained silent. Sanra repeatedly reiterated her conditions, and after being mocked by a human warlock named Galdes, she publicly had goblin mercenaries shoot him in the head.

The sight of a Warlock being shot in the head in public drew disdain from Warlock onlookers, but after Zul'ra had Felornas collect Galders ' soul, and the Demon Hunter readily complied, they immediately united in their stance, guaranteeing their absolute cooperation.

Why must I resort to violence? Zul'ra faced all the Warlock, spread her hands indifferently, and demanded that they create a timed Fel bomb in the shortest possible time. The bomb's power and safety must be guaranteed. Whoever completes the task will receive Fel'dan's Grimoire.

After witnessing Zul'ra take away Galders's soul, the Warlock all knew that Zul'ra was a Worgen, even more ruthless than a ruthless person. In addition, he promised to pay a reward, so a few individuals obsessed with Warlock magic stepped forward.

A group of warlocks, led by the female gnome Lulubella Fizzban, the orc Retson Ragefire, the female Sindorei Sinfil Bloodspread, and the Forsaken Jubikar Shattershatter, questioned Sanra about what he needed the fel bomb for!

Zul'ra did not hide anything from the four Warlock ' questions; there was no need to conceal the destruction of the corpse of the evil Old God C'Thun, nor could it be hidden anyway.

Upon hearing Zul'ra's answer regarding the corpse of the evil Old God C'Thun, the four Warlock ' eyes lit up slightly, and they offered to go and see what was happening, but Zul'ra flatly refused.

Zul'ra didn't trust these guys who dealt with demons all day. If they stole something from the Old God's corpse, causing the matter to be unresolved and creating huge trouble, he would have no tears left to cry.

Faced with Zul'ra's stubbornness, the four Warlock exchanged glances and, after a brief exchange of smirks, decided to tell Zul'ra that they couldn't make the Fel bomb he wanted, but they could provide Zul'ra with an alternative "bomb" free of charge.
