Chapter 289 The Precarious Alliance
The Eastern Continent, which had just experienced the second orc war and calmed down, fell into turmoil again because of the reopening of the Dark Portal.
With the arrival of reinforcements led by Turalyon, the situation in the Blasted Lands changed again. With the support of a steady stream of reinforcements, the Alliance pushed the orcs from the Swamp of Sorrows back to the Blasted Lands.
But the attitude of these orcs in front of him made Turayang feel a little puzzled. They are not as fanatical as they were in the last war, and they want to expand outside. More... It seems that they just want to drag the alliance's forces here.
At the military meeting, Khadgar nodded after hearing Turalyon's doubts and said, "I also agree with your idea. These orcs should have other purposes."
"We didn't see any of the death knights who escaped from the last war, and the orcs who interrogated the asylum learned that they also had spellcasting professions called shaman and warlock, and we didn't see any of them this time either. "
Of course not, Ner'zhul never thought of investing all his troops in this meaningless war with the Alliance. His purpose was to steal three artifacts from Azeroth that would allow the orcs to travel to other worlds , and now the warlocks still gather with him in the Black Temple.
If it was only him who felt wrong, Turayang might be able to reason that he was being overwhelmed, but one after another people expressed their opinions and agreed with his guess, so it is basically certain that the orcs are playing something wrong.
With the help of Khadgar's hypnotic spell, Turalyon finally learned the truth about the orc invasion again from a captured Warsong orc.
However, it was too late when he planned to inform the countries of the alliance. At this time, Talon Gorefiend had already stolen the Eye of Dalaran from Dalaran with the assistance of the black dragon, and obtained the Eye of Dalaran from Alterac. For the Book of Medivh, the only thing missing now is the Scepter of Sargeras.
And a conspiracy between Talon Gorefiend and Deathwing diverted the attention of all countries in the Alliance to Alterac.
This traitor country, which had a big problem during World War II, has made trouble again. All the soldiers stationed in Alterac were wiped out. When the reinforcements arrived, the Alliance only found a lunatic in a city full of corpses. It was Aiden Perenolde, King of Alterac.
The Alterac incident once again aroused the anger of the alliance. No matter how the Barov family explained it, Terenas and other kings no longer believed them.
And with the arrival of Prince Kael'thas, who revealed the true identity of the so-called Lord Prestor under the testimony of Antonidas, these kings who were fooled by magic immediately became furious, and made up their minds to get rid of the collusion with the orcs and even the evil black dragon again. of Alterac.
"So that's the case, is there really a quarrel over the issue of dividing up the spoils?"
In the command post in front of the Zul'Aman Wizard's Hall, Charlemagne looked at the letter sent back from Emeril and smiled, "Anyway, Deathwing and Talon Gorefiend's goal has been achieved, where are the kings now? Still in the mood to recover the artifact."
Sylvanas hugged her chest in disdain and snorted coldly, "This is the embodiment of human's endless greed. Now Lordaeron, Gilneas, and Stormgard are almost torn apart for Alterac's land, population and other resources. Disgraceful, I think the alliance is going to have a big problem."
Lothar sighed with a gloomy complexion, "I really didn't expect that the alliance that was united when resisting the orc invasion would come to this point. If I stayed in the alliance headquarters after the war, the situation might be..."
Charlemagne patted Lothar on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "This is actually something that will inevitably happen. There is no essential difference between having you and not having you. It is normal for racial infighting when there is a lack of powerful foreign enemies. I guess Gilneas and Stormgard should not be able to compete with Lordaeron, just like what Sylvanas said, the alliance... I am afraid that some countries will withdraw."
After several months of offensives, Quel'Thalas' army has successively wiped out the troops of several chiefs stationed by Zujin in various places on the outskirts, including Nalorak, Ekilson, Gaialai and Dakar All have died on their respective altars.
Now that the high elf army has completely cleared these areas, the three-way army joined forces outside the hall of the sorcerer Malakas and prepared to continue to kill the last two Amani leaders.
Although Dakala and others caused some troubles to the high elves during the resistance, there is still a gap between the two armies in terms of quantity and quality.
As Charlemagne said, under the siege of a massive army, as long as you don't become a demigod, even if you have wings, it is difficult to escape the siege.
A winged birdman Ekilsson was about to escape through the air, but the giant eagles of Sunstrider tore the guy to pieces with little effort.
Charlemagne pointed to the location on the map representing the sorcerer's hall and said to the surrounding generals, "To enter the final sacrificial altar and destroy Zujin, you must pass through this hall in front of you. Malakas the sorcerer and the other four are just The troll who imprisoned the power of Loa on his body is different, he directly devoured the spirit of the poisonous snake, and his strength will increase more than the other four."
Malakas is stronger than the other three troll generals, and Dakala, the troll warlord with the strongest potential, is closer to him in strength. After directly devouring the viper spirit, this guy has broken through the limit of a hero Entered the epic stage.
Liadrin rested her chin on her hand and asked with some uncertainty, "Is it possible that this sorcerer has returned to the sacrificial altar and made peace with Zujin?"
Charlemagne nodded encouragingly, "This is a good idea, and the possibility cannot be ruled out, but according to the situation of the other four troll generals, they can only exert their greatest strength by standing on the corresponding loa altar. This Malakas should be no exception, I don't know if the sacrificial altar where Zujin is located has a similar effect."
Saradley glanced at the airtight hall outside. This kind of terrain was not suitable for his Air Force Corps to enter. He asked a little uncomfortable, "In other words, this guy may have to stay in this cramped house?"
Charlemagne patted Saladre on the back and said with a smile, "Don't be so anxious, after passing this hall, you will enter the final altar, and the final battle with Zujin will depend on the help of Sunstrider. "
After all, Zujin always has some trump cards as a leader. He can stand on the sacrificial platform and use the power of four loa gods, and now all the remaining power in Zul'Aman has been concentrated here. If you want to come to this battle It won't be easy.
Early the next morning, Charlemagne ordered the paladins and magic swordsmen to go first, and the rangers and mages followed and entered the magician's hall.
As for the arcane puppets that have been shining brightly in recent months... these big guys with a height of 3 meters cannot enter such a small place. The puppet passed.
"Is it really the same as what Liadrin said..."
Charlemagne, who was in the middle army, received a report from the front. There was not a single troll in the entire hall. The rangers had already ensured the safety of the hall after dismantling some traps.
Raised his head and looked at the sacrificial platform that was faintly visible at the back of the hall, Charlemagne showed a playful smile, "Zujin, since you want to fight the final battle, then I will play with you."
Warcraft 8.0 will be launched on August 14 this year. It seems that my life will be very fulfilling in the second half of the year...
