"Okay, brother."
Anveena quickly gave the order.
The next moment, the eyes of the Earthen and the Stone Giants slowly lit up, and it took a full minute for them to finally fully awaken.
"Yes, sir!"
One by one, the Earthen and Stone Giants knelt on one knee and bowed to Anveena, though it looked as if they were bowing to Jiang Jie, since Anveena was inside Jiang Jie's body.
Then he got up and took a step.
Knock knock knock!
Earthen are extremely heavy, and Stone Giants are even heavier, so their steps are very heavy. Moreover, their steps are very synchronized, even more synchronized than a flag-raising honor guard.
Hundreds of Earthen and a dozen Stone Giants marched together toward the temple. The resonance from their synchronized steps caused the earth to tremble, and a tremendous sound boomed throughout the temple, deafeningly loud. Each step felt like stepping on a heartbeat, with the heartbeat beating in sync with each step.
It's a very domineering feeling, and people who sense this aura are easily intimidated.
Why are so many people terrified on large-scale battlefields? Why do their legs go weak? Why do they wet themselves in fear?
Momentum is very important.
Although there are only a few hundred Earthen and a dozen or so Stone Giants now, their momentum has really been ignited, like a thousand troops marching in. This kind of earthquake that makes your heart pound is truly terrifying!
"Open the door, Anveena!" Before Jiang Jie stood the second temple gate.
As Lesser Keeper, Anveena naturally has the authority to open this door.
Behind the gate are downward staircases and corridors. Once you reach this point, you are no longer in the outer temple, but in the Seat of Khaz'goroth, the residence and meditation place of the Titan Keepers Archaedas, and the place where he created the Titan-forged.
As you descend, every few meters on either side stands a sleeping Earthen, and every twenty or thirty meters there is a sleeping Stone Giants.
"Brother, the Earthen and Stone Giants here were also brought from Ulduar by Archaedas. My access level is not as high as his," Anveena said.
"Then let them go and wipe out the Rockjaw Trogg!" Jiang Jie said calmly.
The Rockjaw Trogg still need to be dealt with, and not only the Rockjaw Trogg -Rockjaw Trogg here, but also those in another place. Jiang Jie is using them as practice targets now.
The Earthen and Stone Giants here, plus those outside, probably number over five hundred.
With so many Titan-forged, they must be an incredibly powerful force!
Although there may be two or three Rockjaw Trogg in the entire Uldaman dungeon, this force is definitely capable of fighting them. The difference between them is like that between a regular elite force and bandits; they may not seem like much normally, but once a battle begins, the disparity is enormous!
Jiang Jie's main goal was to send this force further away to fight those Rockjaw Trogg and inflict heavy losses.
In this way, he would have enough time to deal with Archaedas, because even if these Titan-forged were summoned by Archaedas to fight them, it would still take them some time to escape.
Even if they've made it this far, they've already suffered considerable losses, making them easier to deal with!
Jiang Jie and his group traveled smoothly all the way and finally arrived at the last gate.
Inside the gate lies the true Seat of Khaz'goroth.
Jiang Jie waited until the troops had gone far away, until he could no longer hear their footsteps and the game pod could no longer scan them, estimating that they had already moved two or three kilometers away, before calmly saying, " Anveena, open the door!"
Rumble!
The last gate opened, and the Seat of Khaz'goroth finally came into view.
This is a circular temple hall, filled with slumbering Earthen.
A rough estimate puts the number at several hundred.
Just as Anveena told Jiang Jie, and just as Jiang Jie himself guessed, the Earthen here are rather rough, with marks of being carved and honed, and are defective products made by Archaedas here!
These Earthen had no weapons.
There were also some Earthen with weapons, warhammers similar to those of Ironaya. They stood in the inner ring and wore stone armor similar to that of Ironaya, clearly indicating they were elite-level. There were probably thirty or forty of them.
Standing with these elite Earthen,
There were four Stone Giants, each over four meters tall, and they were also rather rough. These Earthen and Stone Giants together guarded their creator, a male giant standing in the very center, as tall as Ironaya: the Titan Keepers Archaedas.
Like the Earthen, Archaedas is also asleep.
An altar stood before him, the second Altar of the Keepers: the Altar of Archaedas.
Archaedas chose to slumber, and ordinary methods could not awaken him. That's why he left this altar, so that if anything happened, his servants, the Earthen and Mechagnomes, could wake him.
However, all the conscious Earthen and Mechagnomes were transformed into Dwarves and Gnomes by the Curse of Flesh and left Uldaman. So even though the Rockjaw Trogg broke free of their cages, awoke from their stagnation, and even destroyed most of the Uldaman dungeon, no one could awaken Archaedas.
If no one wakes him, he will remain asleep.
" Anveena, if we don't wake him up, can we still get the Disc of Norgannon?" Jiang Jie's gaze turned to Archaedas's back.
Behind him was a large door, and inside was the Disc of Norgannon that Brann wanted.
That was Archaedas's workshop, the Hall of the Crafters, the place where these Earthen and Stone Giants were created, now closed. That door was the last door in all of Uldaman, the final guardian of the Disc of Norgannon.
"Brother, as long as Archaedas is alive, only he can open that door. Only he has the authority. Even Ironaya doesn't have it, and neither do I." Anveena shook her head and said, "If we forcibly destroy that door, Archaedas will awaken. That door possesses the power of the Titans; Teleport cannot pass through it."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Jiang Jie said calmly, " Anveena, now activate all the Earthen and Stone Giants here and obtain their highest authority. Then, besiege Archaedas!"
"Yes, all the Titan-forged here haven't been awakened. Once I awaken them, they'll all be mine, and no one can take them away!" Anveena was overjoyed, like a child who had received a huge pile of toys—of course, she was still a child, not even a year old at most.
Of course, Krasus endowed her with a lot of knowledge after creating her, so she couldn't really be like an infant. However, her actual mental age was only about ten years old, still at an age where she was playful and carefree.
Anveena quickly separated from Jiang Jie's body.
The little girl floated in mid-air, then suddenly looked at Brann and said in a clear voice, "Uncle Brann, can I have that staff? It's the Keeper's Staff; you won't need it."
