Menethil's Power

Chapter 270
At the same time, Silvermoon City.

This is a dilapidated street, with ashes and ruins on both sides. We can only infer the prosperity of the place from the few ruined walls left.

A demon guard was wandering in the ruins, looking for living people. Although the city was completely occupied by the legion at this time, it was almost a dead city, but there were always some fish that slipped through the net. They hid in the shadows like mice lingering.

The demon guards used their long halberds to pick away the rotting corpses. Except for Nathrezim, other demons did not have the means to make additional use of the corpses. Naturally, they did not have the consciousness to clean up the battlefield, so a large number of victims died The corpses of the elves were gradually decomposing in this city, and the foul stench of corpses was already faintly floating in the air.

A rustling sound caught the attention of the demon guard. He turned his head suddenly, and found that it was a somewhat strange creature. It seemed to be a sticky colloidal beach on the ground, moving on its tentacles-like feet. It is about the size of a dog, with some white spots on its purple-black body, and a row of sharp spikes on its back. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is its huge mouth, which occupies almost half of his trunk.

The demon guard is not an idiot. He can tell that the monster in front of him should not be a native creature of this world. It is probably the pet of an Eredar mage. The puppy-like shape means that it should not be dangerous, so The demon's attention turned to the ruins again.

However, this little monster ran towards the demon guard at a fast speed, seemed to be very interested in him, quickly turned around him, and then opened its mouth to the demon guard. The gigantic mouth, which seemed a bit shocking considering its size, suddenly swelled to a diameter of about five meters, swallowing the unprepared demon guard in one gulp, and the latter had time to let out a dull roar.

After quickly swallowing it, the monster's size returned to its original shape. It was hard to imagine how such a small body could accommodate a three-meter-tall demon guard.The full-fledged monster seemed to be satisfied, it stumbled and ran towards the direction it came from at a high speed, and its short tentacles-like legs fluttered with great joy.

Soon the monster saw another creature, a tall female elf, she looked a little tired, her emerald green cloak had turned gray, the monster that had just devoured a demon stopped in front of her, and let out a There was a wheezing sound, and then a piece of metal was spit out, which should be part of the demon guard's weapon just now.

"Good job." Alleria said approvingly, as if she was really just a hunting dog catching a rabbit.

It's been almost two weeks since that nightmarish day, during which time the carnage was going on, the Burning Legion ruthlessly executed every living creature in sight, and the escaped elves could only cry Shouting and wailing, and then dying in despair, less than one percent of the elves survived in Silvermoon City so far. After witnessing the successive deaths of her compatriots, Alleria was already numb, and her heart became extremely hard.

The monster in front of him was the Void Devourer released by Umbric back then. Even such a terrifying monster could not stop the tide of demons, but its existence did give Aurelia and others time to escape. When the phagocytic body was about to be completely killed by the demon, Alleria controlled it using the method Ubrick said, and hid with it.

According to the Void Magister, the demons consumed most of the power of this devouring body, making it only able to maintain a small size, but it is still in full body form, which means that as long as it swallows enough demons or other Matter that can be converted into energy restores power and is therefore extremely dangerous.

But how dangerous is it?They have no choice but to use all the power at their disposal.

There were nearly 60 elves gathered at the Shepherd's Gate back then, but Alleria only brought out more than 60 in the end, and this has almost reached the ideal situation.Fortunately, they found an underground laboratory and used it as a refuge. This laboratory originally belonged to a wealthy high-ranking arcanist, so it itself had a defensive magic circle, and because the exit was concealed enough, this laboratory More than [-] survivors settled down, and no further attrition occurred.

But only a safe shelter is not enough, they still need basic living supplies, although mages have the ability to create food and water, but only a few mages are not enough to meet the needs of so many people, and at the same time They also need weapons and medicine, and these are buried under the ruins of Silvermoon City.

As the leader of the survivors, Aurelia took on the task of going out to explore without hesitation, but this task is not easy. Silvermoon City is currently full of demons, and she must avoid fighting as much as possible. In addition to the precious wound medicine, there is also the need to avoid making too much noise to attract stronger enemies.

In this case, it is obviously a good choice to drive the tamed phagocytosis, it can easily deal with the demons as just now without leaving any traces, but the problem is that the more demons devoured, the power of this void monster will increase The stronger it is, and when it reaches a certain level, Aurelia may no longer be able to control it.

Alleria looked to the north. She knew that the real enemy and the murderer of the elves were on that island. She would eventually seek revenge on them, but now was obviously not the right time.

……

On the Highlands of the Sunwell, two hideous-looking demons stood beside the Sunwell. As the sacred place of the high elves, the decoration of the Sunwell Temple was naturally extremely luxurious, and lavender gauze curtains were installed at the entrance and exit. However, Neither Tichondrius nor Mannoroth seemed to find these decorations against their style, so they kept them.

The huge abyss lord raised his double-headed sword and cut his wrist. The viscous green blood of the devil was left behind and fell into the well of the sun. The golden water began to boil, and the color changed slightly. .

"Very good, we can complete the transformation after doing this a few more times." Tichondrius spoke, and he seemed quite satisfied.

Using transformation crystals all the time is naturally not a solution. The Legion lacks talents who can directly manipulate arcane energy. During the War of the Ancients, Azshara fell in love with Sargeras and asked all the Highborne magisters to open the portal for the Legion. However, in the current In Quel'Thalas, a man of insight like Dar'Khan only has two or three big cats and kittens, so the Sunwell must be transformed to be the source of energy for summoning Archimonde.

An important raw material to complete this transformation is the blood of high-level demons, which are usually provided by high-level abyss lords, because they are easier to be fooled by comparison, and they are large enough.

"My strength is weakening," Mannoroth's voice boomed in the hall, "my blood is my strength, and this time the consumption is much greater than that used on the orcs."

"Don't worry, Mannoroth, Lord Archimonde will give you the reward you deserve. Besides, you will soon have a new batch of servants, servants who are better than the orcs."

"Perhaps," the pit lord replied dully.

"My lord, a new batch of summoned legionnaires have been released from Silvermoon City." Dar'Khan walked in. He has been in charge of the control of the Sunwell barrier, and the feeling of power in his hands made him radiant, "But the Quel'Thalas Humans suddenly appeared on the border, and they have gathered quite a lot of troops."

"Oh, is that so?" The expression on Tichondrius' blue-gray face changed slightly, "I expected that the news would not be concealed for too long, but I didn't expect these mortals to react so quickly, but it's not a big deal Too much to do, Anaceron!" He called out a name.

An elf magister appeared. There is no doubt that the identity of the elf is just an appearance, and he is a dreadlord inside.

"Tell Mal'Ganis to let Ner'zhul start his plan." Tichondrius waved his sharp claws casually, "Also contact the princess, she should be considered as our family now, since After investing so much in the first place, it’s time to get a little return.”

……

Northrend, Sholazar Basin.

Jaina looked at the mentor who had disappeared for almost two years but suddenly reappeared. Compared with before, Kel'Thuzad's skin became a little paler. Other than that, there seemed to be no change, but Jaina felt that his body suddenly appeared. There was an extra breath that made her a little uneasy, and she suddenly didn't know her mentor.

Mr. Bigworth in his arms also let out an uneasy cry, and Jaina hugged him subconsciously.

"I haven't seen you in a year, you have grown taller, my dear student, how is your mission accomplished?" Kel'Thuzad said in a normal tone.

"A sufficient number has been bred." Jaina replied cautiously.

"Very well, then the next step is to expand the planting. It's time for us to go back. You should be homesick too, kid."

…………

The Royal Palace of Lordaeron, the eldest princess bedroom.

Kalia suddenly sat up on the bed, her pretty face was full of horror, she just had a terrible nightmare, in the dream, she was trapped in the endless darkness like a quagmire, and there were maddening whispers in her ears.

However, the scene in front of her touched her nerves again. The diary that she locked at the bottom of the cabinet and hadn't moved for four years suddenly reappeared. It just floated in front of her, as if silently mocking her. .

She had gotten away with thinking that those terrifying beings had forgotten her, but obviously, they hadn't.

"We meet again, Kalia." The nightmarish voice came from the diary.

"Don't even think about it!" Kalia's emotions erupted. She suddenly pulled out the exquisite dagger she carried and stabbed at the diary. This dagger has been worn by her since she first learned that she was going to be betrothed to Prestor. , used to protect one's dignity and chastity when necessary.

"I will never hurt my loved ones!"

However, the dagger stopped when it was a few centimeters away from the diary, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it.

……

Stormwind City, the mansion of Duke Fordragon.

For this human kingdom far away in the southern continent, everything that happened in the north is a bit far away, but most of the people also understand that the northern kingdoms seem to have suffered a disaster comparable to that of the orc invasion, because at this time the little prince had just been born. , while the young King Varian had to temporarily leave his wife and children and go to Lordaeron to attend the alliance summit.

Before leaving, he named his son Rhine Wrynn in memory of the old Rhine king who died in the Great Patriotic War.

Bolvar Fordragon looked at the document in front of him and frowned slightly. When Varian left, he entrusted the affairs of Stormwind City to him and the Duke of Lothar. This was a great test for the young Bolvar , he is very unconfident about whether he can run a country.

A servant knocked lightly on the door, "My lord, there is a distinguished lady waiting in the reception room. She calls herself Countess Katrana Prestor."

Bolvar was taken aback for a moment, he didn't seem to have heard of such a nobleman before, "I'm coming right now," he said.
