If the Krokuun frontline is the forward base camp of Azeroth civilization, then the Antoran Wasteland can be called the real frontline of Azeroth civilization in the world of Argus.
Conflicts and small-scale wars are happening here almost all the time. As far as Muradin knew, there is a battle group of the Holy Light Legion in the Antolan Wasteland, as well as troops from the Draenei side.
The two legions have devoured the lives of thousands of warriors since Azeroth came to this wasteland until now. This land is still controlled by demons.
Weak adventurers don't dare to step here at all. Only those powerful adventurers who are truly confident in themselves dare to go together in this wasteland. Here, as long as you are careless, you will pay for your life.
cost.
What's even more terrible is that the Burning Legion has set up several soul furnaces in this wasteland. Although the blasphemous Wither Druids have repeatedly emphasized that the cycle of life and death can also take effect here, and the souls of those who died here can also
You can return to the Death Realm of Azeroth and enter the cycle of life and death again, but to be honest, once you die here, your soul will be torn apart by the demons' soul furnace before it returns to the Death Realm, and you will not be able to enjoy death at all.
The peace of mind is equivalent to truly dying with eyes closed.
The Vanguard Army spent a lot of money to occupy several small strongholds in the Antolan Wasteland, and only three are open to adventurers.
Each one is only the size of a small town, with hotels, medical clinics, blacksmiths and merchants, as well as a complete stronghold defense line composed of powerful magic constructs, military tanks and aircraft, and elite warriors.
These three places are run by the goblins of the Dark Blade Consortium. Although the prices are high, they are the only supply points for adventurers wandering this land. They are like three lighthouses swallowing gold coins. Although
Scorned by everyone, but in this devil's hell, it actually illuminates the way home for adventurers.
"I feel the breath of the world spirit."
Coming out of the Port of Hope stronghold, Muradin rode like a Tabu sheep and headed deep into the wasteland along the rugged mountain roads of the Antolan Wasteland. When he approached the Burning Throne in the dark mountains in the distance, he
From the evil earth beneath my feet, I felt an energy wave that was very similar to Elune.
But compared to Elune's peace and gentleness, this energy seems violent and ferocious, just like this land that has been polluted for a long time. It simply refuses to give any gentleness to guests who have come from afar.
"That's Argus! The Destroyer."
Muradin jumped off the Tabu sheep. He put his hands on the scorching earth under his feet, filled with evil energy. The diamond dwarf closed his eyes and began to communicate with the earth.
"Lord Argus, I come on behalf of Elune, the world spirit of Azeroth, and I brought her."
The twisted power hidden deep under the earth did not respond to him. In Muradin's perception, under the earth of this evil wasteland, it was like hiding a beast imprisoned in the abyss of destruction.
It roared, struggling to break out of the shackles of fate. The chains on its body were swung and rattled. The power from evil energy and darkness entangled its scorching will. Every time it roared, it would make
The wreckage of this world that has long lost hope trembles, and every struggle makes the evil magma and ruins of civilization covering the world darker.
It may be questioning why fate has allowed it to suffer such a disaster, but more often than not it is just succumbing to the anger and destruction in the dark heart like a beast. It wants to break out of the cage, and it wants to subvert everything.
Let the entire noisy stars be completely extinguished under the dark will of Sargeras.
"roll!"
A deep roar filled the heart of the diamond dwarf, interrupting his speech and causing his spirit that had seeped into the ground to be torn apart in an instant.
"Bang"
With his eyes closed, Muradin's short and stocky body was "rushed" up from where he was, like a slapped basketball. However, the legendary warrior flipped a few times in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
The diamond dwarf propped up his body with his war hammer. He felt waves of dizziness and torn senses in his mind, as if he had been punched hard by a big boss in the spiritual world.
Only messengers with solid bodies like the Diamond Dwarves can only feel mental dizziness. If the person who just connected to the World Spirit of Argus was a flesh-and-blood creature, under the mental impact of the World Spirit, I am afraid that he would end up with one in an instant.
The fate of flesh and blood scattered everywhere.
Argus the Destroyer obviously did not welcome his inquiry, nor did he welcome his sister's visit.
"We are here to help you!"
Muradin gritted his teeth and placed his palms on the ground again. This time he skipped the polite greetings and directly shouted out the purpose of his arrival, but he still failed to get Argus to communicate with him.
"roll!"
"Bang"
This time, the mental impact was stronger. Muradin was thrown out and hit hard on the boulder filled with evil energy next to him. Even the ground shook with the anger of the world spirit. This movement
The poor Tabu sheep was frightened. The latter faintly sensed Argus's will and ran away neighing in fright. As a result, he was picked up by a big magic bat that fell from the sky with its claws and was caught after not running a few steps.
into the sky.
What awaits that poor creature is the horrific ending of being eaten by demons.
"Damn it!"
The diamond dwarf moved his strong body and struggled to "buckle" himself off the boulder. He shook his head and fell to the ground. If his body and will were not strong enough, the second impact would have killed him completely.
In this land far away from home.
"Don't try again, Muradin."
Elune's ethereal voice sounded in the spokesperson's ears:
"Go burn the throne"
Ai-chan's voice paused for a few seconds, as if a hesitant girl had really made up her mind at this moment, and even her tone became a little firmer:
"I'll talk to it!"
Antorus. The Burning Throne, which was once the temple of demons and a symbol of the hegemony of the Burning Legion. The two demon kings who served as adjutants of the Dark Titan Sargeras lived in the Burning Throne. Even the fallen Titan Agra
Ma, has also adhered to this for tens of thousands of years.
This place was once considered the center of the Dark Ages of the Stars, although it was only one of several strongholds of the Burning Legion.
It was built on the Antorus Mountains, the most majestic mountain range in the original world of Argus. When the cataclysm of evil energy swept across the entire world of Argus, this mountain range was completely cut off. During the subsequent changes in the world environment,
That mountain became the body of the Burning Throne.
The flames of the core of the world, completely infiltrated by evil energy, burned along the mountains, as if the devil's temple was coated with an extra layer of awe-inspiring light and shadow.
But in fact, after Archimonde was killed in battle, Kil'jaeden disappeared, and the eredar fleet was split, the destructive majesty of Antorus and the Burning Throne was no longer what it once was.
The newly appointed Great Demon, General Elodus, who once commanded the Council of Antolan, has too little foundation. In other words, although he has the support of a small number of eredar demons, although he took control of the Burning Throne immediately after the Deceiver disappeared,
It defends and tries to seize the remaining military power in the world of Argus, but it lacks the "legitimacy" of the Polluter and the Deceiver. It cannot command the demons and lacks the temperament to make the unruly demons obey.
In addition, the fallen titan Aggramar died in the battle among the stars. This scene was spied by many demon lords. The demon army in the already panic-stricken world of Argus immediately began to split internally.
Before the Vanguard began to attack the world of Argus, many demon lords had already fled with their loyal subordinates.
The demons are just a little more arrogant. Except for lords like the Abyss lord who are really not very smart, the other demon lords are very smart. The world of Argus was replaced in the Azeroth sector, the barbarian world.
The God of Death chopped down the fallen Titan in full view of the public. If you don't want to run away now, do you have to clean yourself up and offer it as a sacrifice to the terrifying God of Death?
Under such internal and external troubles, the ambitious Demon King Elodus also had to face reality. He still clung to the Burning Throne, but as the forces of the Vanguard and even the entire Azeroth began to expand in the world of Argus
Spread, it's just a matter of time before it escapes from here.
But for His Majesty Elodus, what is more fortunate is that part of the eredar fleet happens to be on standby in the Azeroth sector. The commander of that fleet is none other than his former companion and friend Ish.
General Ka, so if it really wants to escape, it won't have nowhere to go.
"Bang"
A high-level demon who tried to block the intruder was hit on the head by a brute war hammer. The strong black demon horn was broken immediately, and its strong skull was also smashed. The disgusting flesh and blood were mixed with a pungent smell.
Brains were splashed everywhere, and the tall body without its head fell in a pool of green blood, its claws still twitching nervously.
Muradin Bronzebeard took a step forward. The diamond dwarf's war hammer was covered with the remains of flesh and blood. Behind him, there were bloody footprints and the fallen demon corpse beside the footprints. This diamond dwarf was almost
The one who stepped on the devil's corpse and fought his way into the Burning Throne was a legendary warrior in his own right. Now he has an invulnerable diamond body, and he has become the spokesperson of the world's spirit. The power of the world has blessed him, making him eternal.
Not tired.
How terrifying is a legendary warrior who doesn't need to defend, only needs to attack, attack and attack again, and will never get tired?
You can see this just by looking at the demons in front of Muradin.
Even though they had a numerical advantage, even though they had reinforcements, they were frightened when faced with the invincible short man in front of them, holding a warhammer and strolling forward.
These are warriors who came out of a world full of barbarians, and they are no match for them.
But Muradin didn't mean to kill all these demons. He came to the Burning Throne with a mission. He didn't want to waste too much time. When the demons retreated, a path leading deeper into the throne was revealed.
At that time, the diamond dwarf did not hesitate. He ignored the demons and strode towards the portal leading to the inner hall. The demons crowded around the slaughterhouse looked at me and I looked at you, but no one wanted to
Step forward to stop him.
They're not stupid either
"It's right here, I can feel it!"
Elune's voice echoed in Muradin's mind. The diamond dwarf stopped. In front of him was a demon temple shining with red light. Even before entering the temple, Muradin could hear the temple.
The strange noise coming from inside was like a group of people whispering in their ears. The buzzing sound made the diamond dwarf couldn't help but shake his head, trying to isolate those sounds from his ears.
But it was useless. Those corrupt and depraved voices still entered his mind, even distorting his vision.
"That's"
This strange scene made Muradin couldn't help but tighten his grip on the warhammer. Facing his question, Elune replied in a low voice:
"I felt the presence of several Titan souls. This should be the place where demons tempted Titans to fall. Argus the Destroyer is still deeper, approaching the core of the world. No, he is still forced to sleep in the core of the world.
."
"Seduce the Titan to fall?"
Muradin's eyes suddenly opened wide. He took a step back and said in a deep voice:
"We must stay away from this place, Lord Elune. You are not a mature Titan yet. If those real Titans cannot resist the sound of corruption, then you should not take risks."
Faced with Muradin's worries, Elune did not answer, because unlike the distortions Muradin heard, in the perception of the world spirit, in the temple in front of him, in addition to the whispers that induce corruption, there are also wisps of
Information that only the spirits of the dead can perceive.
"Go back, go back."
It seemed as if there was an old voice discouraging the young world spirit from moving forward. Elune felt that the voice was familiar, so she asked:
"Are you Lord Aman'Thul? Or Lord Norgannon? Who are you? Please tell me!"
"Go back."
"Elune, you have gone too far."
The voice did not directly answer Elune's question, he just advised:
"Argus the Unkiller is more than a warrior of the Black Pantheon."
"He is still our jailor. He is a monster created by Sargeras himself. He is not Aggramar."
"He won't show mercy to you, go back."
After hearing this persuasion, Elune became more and more certain that the voice in front of her was one of the Titan souls captured by the demon. She shouted loudly in the Titan's will:
"Please hold on! My warriors, I am calling them to come to this world! You, you will be free soon, and we will try to rebuild the Pantheon! I will save you! Please hold on!"
At this moment, Elune felt like a wanderer who had seen her relatives. Although she had never met them in person, she felt an instinctive closeness to these Titans of the Pantheon.
However, after hearing Elune's cry, the tired and deep voice fell silent. After a few seconds, he spoke:
"No, we refuse!"
"Why?"
Elune asked in disbelief:
"Your rebirth is the hope to defeat Sargeras and end this dark age? Why do you refuse?"
"Because you still don't understand the price of salvation."
The voice seemed too tired. He could not talk too much to Elune. He ended Elune's persistent questioning with one sentence:
"We can't revive, the price is too heavy, it's yours"
