The past few years in Azeroth have been relatively peaceful, at least much calmer than during the Northern War.
In fact, no matter how the trajectory of civilization changes, they do not have much impact on the changes in Azeroth's body. The world still moves forward slowly according to the path planned when it was born. Time passes, spring and summer intersect, and the harvest season begins.
Soon after, when the ruins of Azshara in Kalimdor were once again shrouded in fiery red maple leaves, people knew that... the desolate autumn was coming.
The human empire of Kalimdor had completed the clearing of demons at the southern end of the battlefield in Felwood a month ago, but those frontline troops did not withdraw because of the alliance signed between the human kings and the night elves' General Shandris.
It stipulates that Felwood is a war zone under the control of the coalition forces. The coalition forces can stay there until the supreme commander of the coalition forces, Varian Wrynn, confirms that the war is over.
Although the night elves are not happy to allow the armies of other civilizations to stay in their territory, because of this covenant and the signature in black and white, they cannot forcefully expel these legions from the south.
The same trouble occurs in Darkshore and Stonetalon Mountains.
General Shandris Feathermoon was eager to invite the Imperial coalition to the battlefield to help the night elves. She signed many strange contracts, including opening the night elf port on the Dark Coast for the Kul Tiras navy to rest and recuperate for 15 years.
years, and this kind of "borrowing" only requires a nominal fee, which is equivalent to the invincible fleet of Kul Tiras, and can use the night elves' ports for free for 15 years...
The orcs in the Stonetalon Mountains can also use this covenant to "reasonably" borrow the night elves' military rights of passage here to send their troops to the Desolate Land, and the Tauren clan of Mogore has begun to formulate a plan.
The strategy to expel the centaurs in Desolace is to wait until the battle in Highmountain on the Broken Isles is over, and then they can use the night elves' frontline fortress in Desolace to fight their own war.
General Shandris will never know what kind of troublesome consequences are hidden under the seemingly "normal" agreements he signed to seek help. And Shandris's mother, Lady Tyrande, is in Hyjal.
The first thing after the Battle of the Mountain was to deal with the troubles left by his adopted daughter.
Fortunately, Shandris still had the most basic sense and did not designate Mount Hyjal as a war zone where the coalition forces could move freely. Otherwise, Ms. Tyrande would definitely have a headache.
Of course, she has enough headaches now... Her husband, Archdruid Malfurion, has been missing for nearly half a month. No one knows where the naga took him and where he was.
What kind of terrible conspiracy is he plotting with the help of Malfurion?
Moreover, the disappearance of Malfurion and the death of the demigod Cenarius not only hurt Tyrande's feelings, but also directly affected the current unstable situation of the Cenarion Council.
None of the archdruids had experience in managing the Cenarius Council, and in this troubled time, Anzu, the only remaining demigod on their side, caused a new disturbance.
——————————————————————————————
"Calm down! Calm down, dear Ansu, we are already trying to awaken Ms. Rukhma's soul, but this is a complicated task, and due to the current chaotic situation in the Emerald Dream, I cannot give you an accurate answer.
's reply."
In the hall of the World Tree in Mount Hyjal, Archdruid Koda Steelclaw, this gentle night elf, is trying to appease the irritable Anzu.
In front of her eyes, the shrunken raven squatted in the hall. Its body almost occupied one-third of the hall. At this time, under the faint light of the World Tree, Ansu's black onyx-like eyes
The same eyes were shining with undisguised anxiety.
"Gah! You said the same thing 3 years ago!"
Anzu screamed:
"You also told me that the resurrection of the wilderness demigods will take decades to pave the way. I believe you! But that stupid pig in Agamaggan has been resurrected! Where is my Rukhma? She is still sleeping...
You don’t even want to help me! I was deceived by you! Shameless liar! Liar!! Gua!!”
Wilderness demigods are very terrifying creatures. They possess powerful power that is unimaginable to mortals. Even though Ansu has suppressed himself, the storm set off by its wings still makes the hair of the Arch Druid's steel claws fly around in the strong wind.
A weaker druid could not stand in this storm at all, and was blown up completely, screaming and flying out of the World Tree Hall.
Anzu is a demigod with wings, storms and the sky. The storms rolled up by its wings are not just pure physical imagination, but are also mixed with the power of demigods. If Anzu regards the druids in front of him as enemies, then
When it flaps its wings, the howling storm will turn into a terrifying wind blade, cutting the flesh and blood in front of it into white bones in an instant.
Don’t doubt Anzu’s power. In the previous demon war in Ashenvale, the blue raven with beautiful tail feathers and Cenarius were two demigods. One was in the sky and the other was on the earth. They could even fight together.
The destroyer Maronos does not dare to appear on the frontal battlefield. Perhaps its direct threat is not as strong as Agamaggan, but Ansu, who has the advantage in the sky, will never lose to Agamaggan in a battle.
That’s it.
"No one wants to lie to you!"
Archdruid Koda Steelclaw stared at the strong wind and shouted:
"After Agamaggan was resurrected, you have seen the actions of the Cenarion Circle! Anzu, we really want to help you resurrect Rukhmar, but you have to understand our difficulties... This is not that
Easy!"
"The Wither's resurrecting Agamaggan was an opportunistic move. They also possess Agamaggan's skeleton, and Staghelm even personally took over its soul, but Rukhmar is different! You know this best in your heart, Ansu! She
It’s different...Don’t be blinded by the anger in your heart, calm down! Ansu, we can solve this problem together!”
The call of the steel claws worked, and the endless wind calmed down the next moment. Ansu folded his broad wings, and every blue-black feather on the perfect bird's body was trembling.
It tilted its head, and the beautiful feathers on its head flashed slightly. In fact, Ansu also knew in his heart that Rukhmar had not been able to be resurrected until now, and it was not just the night elf druids who were delaying.
It has lived in Azeroth for more than ten years, and its understanding of the Emerald Dream has become profound. It knows that from a certain perspective, the druids did not lie to it.
The night elves have not begun to resurrect the demigods for thousands of years after the end of the War of the Ancients. In addition to maintaining the reproduction of their civilization, there is another reason... Although the Emerald Dream has a certain overlap with the real world.
, but that is another plane after all. In the area where the space rules are in effect, there is like a solid wall between the two planes. It is not easy to break it.
The demigods who died in the battle all live in the Emerald Dream. They cannot break this dimensional wall by themselves. Didn't you see that in another timeline, the druids of the Cenarion Circle resurrected the demigods?
, and it can only be carried out when the space rules of the entire world are completely torn apart by the crazy Deathwing.
This is not because the night elves don't work hard, but the price they have to pay to break the wall of the plane is too terrifying. One wrong move, and the entire Mount Hyjal may be involved in the collision between the Emerald Dream and the real world.
It was torn into ruins by terrible space rifts.
As Steel Claw said, Agamaggan's resurrection was really a successful opportunistic act. Why was it that when Agamaggan's soul traveled through the world and the Emerald Dream, it was able to be captured by Tyrion and Xiao Xiao in the world of death?
Ghost Yuna seen?
The reason is here. The Witherers took advantage of the rift between the world and the realm of death in Drustvar to pick up the soul of the wild boar demigod in that place where the rules of space were already chaotic and disorderly, and then transferred it to the Razor Highlands.
..
This kind of opportunistic behavior can no longer be used after the Realm of Death was completely controlled by Tyrion.
If Tyrion does not agree to reopen the rift in the world and disrupt the originally stable rules of space, then the druids of the Cenarion Circle can only use the old method to penetrate the wall of the plane, not to mention the cost
The manpower and material resources are terrible. Even if the elves really decide to do this, Ansu will have to wait for several more years.
Malfurion did not deceive Anzu at the beginning, and the demigod could indeed be resurrected, but that hope was really slim when the rules of world space were extremely stable at this time.
What's more, Rukhmar's situation is indeed different from Agamaggan... No matter how miserable the wild boar demigod is, its soul exists intact in the Emerald Dream, but Rukhmar's soul has long been in Dra.
Nuo had almost disappeared in the endless time, and was resurrected once by Anzu in the wrong way. Only the body was resurrected, but the soul was not resurrected. The result was that there was a soulless consciousness in Rukhma's bones.
...
This makes the work of the druids in awakening Rukhma's original soul in the Emerald Dream proceed very slowly, like peeling off a cocoon. That is the soul, one of the most mysterious areas of life. If there is a slight mistake,
It might even cause Rukhma's weak soul to disappear into ashes... No one can bear this responsibility.
Therefore, to be precise, it is difficult for Rukhma to be resurrected. At least one-third of the reason is due to Anzu's wrong adventure... But considering this single dog who has been alone for thousands of years,
The demigod desperately longs for the return of his lover, and no one can criticize his recklessness.
"I know...this is all my fault."
Ansu calmed down and said in a sad tone:
"I should have endured this, I should have been dead, I should have been the cursed ghost, not my Rukhma..."
The beautiful big raven's eyes focused on the Steel Claw Archdruid at the next moment, and it said in a hoarse voice:
"Gah! I can serve you, no matter what you want me to do, elves... whether it's facing demons or other enemies... even if I am shattered to pieces, there is no problem, but I have only one request.
..You promised me, I know this request is unreasonable, I know I shouldn't make it, but...this is what I live for!"
"Rukhma, I just want my Rukhma!"
Ansu flapped his wings and slowly hovered in the air. The terrible wind pressure blew against the house. Ansu's determined voice echoed in the room:
"You must do it! I protected your holy mountain. I gave you my blood and my strength. I also protected your druids in the Emerald Dream. You must resurrect her..."
"Otherwise, I'll go find those who can really help me!"
As he spoke, the figure of the great raven demigod flew into the sky like a floating phantom. In the midst of the rapid speed, it was like an arrow leaving the string, easily breaking through the speed of sound, and with a loud roar.
, Ansu's figure disappeared among the branches of the World Tree.
The Great Druid of the Steel Claw stood at the edge of the World Tree Hall. She looked at Ansu who had disappeared. She knew what Ansu's last words meant.
The Blighters, the Druid sect that has risen rapidly in recent years, must have conveyed some disturbing news to Anzu, perhaps an invitation similar to Agamaggan...
After the Wither One took the wrong approach and resurrected the wild demigod Agamaggan in public, the entire Cenarion Circle experienced a small schism, and many druids turned to join the Cenarion.
Austrian Council, the more dynamic wither, if Ansu also announces to join the wither, then it is very likely that the entire council will face another major split.
Unlike Agamaggan, who has been dead for thousands of years, Anzu is a living demigod. Its active performance in the past ten years has minimized the number of believers who worship Avina, the mother of birds.
Two-thirds, Anzu's followers are now the mainstream of Raptor Druids... Once Anzu betrays the Cenarion Circle, the Raptor Druids who follow him will probably be a stunner.
number.
"We can't go on like this..."
The Archdruid of the Steel Claw clenched his fists with worry on his face. With the Archdruid Malfurion's life or death unknown, the remaining Archdruids must maintain the unity and stability of the entire council.
A gleam of thought shone in the eyes of the Arch Druid of Steel Claw, and finally, she confirmed her idea.
"Confrontation... No, we can't risk confrontation... Then form an alliance."
"If they really have a perfect way to resurrect a demigod... it will be beneficial without any harm."
The female archdruid raised her head and looked at Mount Hyjal at dusk. She sighed in confusion:
"Malfurion...you will agree with this decision, right?"
