37. Azshara. Doomsday--for the purpose of playing game brothers [12/16]
Pale thunder and lightning roared in the cloudy sky, indicating the approach of a terrifying storm. Bookmark this site
The entire sky darkened, and outside the thick clouds, the warm light from the sun was blocked, making most of the world seem to be plunged into a panic-inducing haze.
Such bad weather is very rare, especially in areas far away from the sea, but today, even in the city of New Lordaeron, which is still far away from the coast, Alsace stood on the balcony and raised his head.
, you can see the lightning that flows from time to time in the gloomy sky, and the thick black clouds are so oppressive and low, it is even as if you can reach out your hand and touch those ominous clouds.
"What the hell is going on?"
Arthas murmured to himself. Amidst the strange cold wind, the entire city of Lordaeron was quiet. Although the civilians did not know what happened, under such circumstances, anyone with any brains,
They won't walk out of the house arrogantly.
The wind that beat wildly at the windows and doors was mixed with a strong smell of sea, just like the sea breeze.
The Paladin King, uh, no, the Paladin Grand Duke had a premonition that something was wrong. He turned around and quickly walked through the corridors of the palace and came to the mage tower where his wife was. Queen Jaina was talking to a group of
The mages of the Kingdom of Storm were nervously calculating some things that Arthas could not understand. After seeing her husband approaching, Jaina, who was wearing a robe, stepped forward and said to Arthas with a serious face:
"The weather is weird. The water vapor in the strong wind is abnormally high, and the water element content in the surrounding environment is also rising rapidly. This looks like a sign of the coming tsunami."
"Big tsunami?"
Alsace's eyes widened and he said:
"But New Lordaeron is more than 700 kilometers away from the coastline! What kind of big tsunami can affect us?"
"This is the most abnormal thing, Your Majesty!"
Another white-haired chemist said to Alsace:
"I have just exchanged information with the Marin Master of Stormwind Kingdom. The water element content in the air in New Stormwind City is almost exactly the same as here, and New Stormwind City is right on the seaside. This shows that this incident occurred without warning.
A tsunami is not a natural formation, there must be some force behind it controlling it."
Jaina answered:
"Alsace, the most important thing is that once that abnormal tsunami actually takes shape, its first wave of water rushing from the direction of the Endless Sea to the coast of Kalimdor will be enough to destroy all the cities along the coast in an instant.
The city of Lordaeron will not be spared. It will be the most terrifying disaster in the past ten years, and millions, or even tens of millions, of people will die."
"Can you stop it?"
Arthas frowned and asked:
"No response from the shamans?"
"The shamans from the Earth Ring and the orcs have gathered!"
Jaina looked ugly and said:
"But according to Thrall, a tsunami of this scale is no longer a problem that the shamans can solve. The orc chief guessed that this is probably a sign of the invasion of the world by the elemental king. The tide hunter
Neptulon is fully capable of raising such a tidal wave, even though it has absolutely no reason to do so."
"His Majesty!"
Just as Jaina and Arthas were talking, the guard captain Maven rushed into the mage tower with a hurried look. The powerful warrior panted and said to his king and queen:
"There is a situation on the coastline of Baita City Port!"
"Naga! Naga has landed!"
Using the term "landing" to describe the movements of the Nagas at this time is actually not quite accurate.
The elite troops of the Naga Kingdom did not really "land". They stood on the rolling tide and set foot on the coast of Baita City Port.
Although the tsunami set off by the most loyal and fanatical Sleepless Secret Party under N'zoth held the Holy Artifact of Storm and Sea, it was still in the brewing stage, but the power of the mixed wind and water was enough to have a violent impact on the sea.
Influence, in the past few days, Queen Azshara agreed to N'Zoth's request, saying that she would take her Nagas to "destroy" the order on the land.
At the request of N'Zoth, the Nagas also forcibly opened several more doors in the Throat of the Abyss, the water elemental plane occupied by them, with the help of the faceless men and the water elements who had taken refuge in the ancient gods.
Temporary sea eye, which caused the sea level of the entire world to rise abnormally at the time when the "Purification Tsunami" was brewing. The endless water flow from the water elemental plane was being forcibly injected under the guidance of the Deep Sea Trident.
In this world.
According to the current rate of sea level rise, in up to five hours, all four continents will lose part of their coastlines, and in a few days, coastal cities will be engulfed by seawater. But in fact, N'Zos cannot wait until that time.
Yes, once the power of the Storm Summoner's Crown and the Deep Sea Trident are fully released, the devastating ocean tide will completely sweep a third of the world!
The Sleepless Secret Party under N'zoth claimed that this was a tsunami that "purified the filth", but in fact, anyone with a clear eye could see that this tsunami was purely for destruction and to attract the attention of other forces in the world, so that
N'Zoth's actions to open the Void Gate beneath the deep sea will not be interrupted.
Once the Void Gate in the city of Ny'alotha is truly opened, N'Zoth will no longer need to play these tricks. With the help of the Shadow Realm of the Void and the suspicious identity of Miss Xalatas, N'Zoth has already eaten
With the soul of C'Thun, N'Zoth becomes more powerful and can smoothly corrupt the world. Even the annoying Dark Blade Legion can't stop it!
But to be honest, none of this has anything to do with Queen Azshara.
Her Majesty the Queen was sitting on her gorgeous shoulder carriage, being carried on the shoulders by several powerful Naga royal guards. Following the rolling tide, she appeared on the surface of the sea from under the deep sea. And in front of her eyes,
It is the faith center of the Human Empire, the holy land of the Holy Light Church, the White Tower City Port full of glory, and behind Queen Azshara, hundreds of thousands of Nagas from the Deep Sea City and nearly a hundred mobilized from other places.
Thousands of guards are hiding in the endlessly rolling sea water.
All it takes is an order from Her Majesty the Queen, these fantasy creatures with soft skin and similar to giant snakes, relying on their terrifying numerical superiority, can easily destroy this human city in front of Her Majesty the Queen.
But the queen has yet to give the order.
Azshara leaned on her shoulder, looking lazily at the panicked human city in front of her. Even from such a distance, she could easily smell the fear coming from the hearts of the creatures in that city. She was originally very worried.
She enjoys the feeling of bringing fear to other lives, but after meeting the big lord, her mood has been bad, and she no longer has the heart to appreciate the terror of those humans.
Azshara turned around. Her powerful magic power allowed her to easily see the center of the Endless Sea. Above the furnace of storms, there were more than a dozen waterspout columns reaching into the sky and the earth. They were the imminent purifying wave of the Sleepless Camarilla.
The signs are taking shape. Perhaps in a few dozen minutes, a completely triggered tsunami will flood the world.
In other words, there is not much time left for her to make the final decision.
In the end, is it to completely cut off the dignity and glory of the past, take refuge in the forces of the void, and become a pawn in the destruction of the world?
Or should we pull back from the brink at the last second, accept the goodwill of the great lord, and reintegrate into Azeroth as a new civilization?
This is not a difficult decision for Queen Azshara's wisdom. Azshara believes that Tyrion must have a backup plan.
But as Her Majesty the Queen, she does not intend to bow to Tyrion so easily. In other words, for the arrogant Queen Azshara, she needs a step to get down, and now, facing the White Tower in front of her
At the city port, Queen Azshara desperately hoped that the humans in front of her could give her what she needed, a magnificent step worthy of her status.
"Rumble"
In the heart-stopping confrontation between millions of Nagas and humans, a low buzz came from the clouds, breaking the deadlock. Her Majesty the Queen and the temporary city management standing on the wall of the Baita City Port pier
Archbishop Chaldea Morgan raised his head at the same time and saw a giant airship armed with several large propellers rushing out of the dark clouds.
The airship was hoisted with the dual flags of the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Empire of Man. On the deck of the airship, the human Emperor Varian Wrynn, several dukes guarding the empire, and the most elite legionnaires were all there.
On the deck wetted by wind and rain.
Varian wore a black armor and carried the Emperor's Blade on his back. In this gloomy weather, the thunder power on Stromka's sword beat more noisily, as if it were a sword made entirely of thunder and lightning.
The emperor's airship Skyfire hovered above the pier of Baita City Port. At the moment the emperor appeared, bursts of cheers and roars came from the entire depressing city in the drizzling rain. Obviously, for
For the civilians of the human empire, the appearance of the emperor seemed to represent some hope of escape.
Varian stood on the deck of the Skyfire. He heard the cheers of the people. He took a deep breath and took a step forward. He didn't know if he could solve the terrible trouble in front of him, but he had to do it.
, because he carries the hope of the people.
"I'll go with you!"
Alsace, who was also wearing armor, also grabbed his holy sword and followed Varian, but was stopped by Varian. The emperor turned around and looked at the dukes behind him, and he said:
"The reform of the empire has just begun. Compared with me, the national symbol, the mission you bear is heavier. You must stay here. I also need some trustworthy people to support me!"
After saying that, Varian's legs exerted force, and his whole body was like a cannonball fired from the barrel, passing through the windy and rainy world. The battle sword behind him passed through a bright thunder in the air, and finally landed steadily.
On the beach in front of Queen Azshara, behind the king, with the Skyfire's teleportation beam lighting up, the empire's most fearless soldiers, led by Field Marshal Halford Wymbane, quickly occupied the unexplored area.
The coast occupied by Nagas merged with the guardian knights of White Tower City Port.
And under the clouds further away, the floating islands of New Dalaran were also transmitting light and appeared over the White Tower City Port. On the other side of the coastline, shamans from the orc tribe came to the Great Chief Shaman.
Under the leadership of Er, they also joined the defensive side of this offensive and defensive battle. Also arriving were the Sun King of the High Elves and his mages.
Obviously, the emergence of Queen Azshara has put a lot of pressure on the Human Empire and even the entire Kalimdor. This cruel queen has done what she did in the Dark Coast and Mount Hyjal a few years ago.
Those things are still fresh in my memory.
"What are you doing here? Lord of mankind."
Queen Azshara leaned on her shoulder and looked at Varian Wrynn standing by the sea with disdain. She could feel that he was a tyrannical warrior, but she didn't care.
She said in an arrogant voice worthy of a queen:
"Are you here to surrender or beg for mercy?"
"No!"
Varian looked up at Queen Azshara above the tide, and he answered in a low voice:
"Queen Azshara, I'm here to negotiate!"
"Call me Your Majesty!"
The queen snorted and said condescendingly to Varian:
"You don't have the right to call me by my name, and I won't negotiate with you!"
"You are an emperor, and I am also an emperor."
Varian said calmly and without fear:
"How can there be any reason for an emperor to bow to the emperor?"
"What's more, you rule the deep sea, and we own the land. What we have does not conflict with what you want. We are not natural enemies, so why can't we both live in peace? War means casualties and hatred,
Queen Azshara, I have read your biography, and the world says you are a cruel ruler, but I don’t see it that way.”
"If you were really just cruel, then the Elf Empire of ten thousand years ago would not have been able to prosper for 5,000 years. You are also a wise ruler, Queen Azshara. I believe you can see that this is about to begin.
For you and me, this battle is meaningless except for increasing casualties."
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"
Faced with Varian's flattery, Queen Azshara remained unmoved on the surface, but in fact, she felt quite satisfied inside. After all, what Varian said made sense. He was also an emperor. Although he was looking at Azshara
It seems that human civilization is just an insignificant little force, but the emperor is the emperor, and the compliment from another emperor made Her Majesty the Queen's originally irritable mood feel better.
So Queen Azshara changed to a more comfortable posture, leaning on the gorgeous shoulder bag decorated with gems and corals. She swung the tentacles of her lower body and said lazily:
"But what you said makes sense, Varian Wrynn. This war is indeed not very interesting, and it doesn't even interest me. Yes, my deep sea empire can indeed live in peace with you land people.
But my peace is not so easy to get."
"So, persuade me!"
The Queen narrowed her eyes and said:
"There are still dozens of minutes before the tsunami occurs. You and your friends have to persuade me to abandon the void and integrate with you to protect the world, instead of following the will of the void to destroy it!"
"Look, Varian, and the other rulers, I'm giving you a chance."
