The mission given to Benedictus by the Klaxxi elders sounds very simple. He is asked to awaken some warriors named "Elites" throughout the Dread Wasteland. This sounds like an ordinary treasure hunt.
.
But in fact this action is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.
First of all, the mantid elder has introduced the current situation to Benedictus in simple words: the current grand queen of the mantid, Xia Keshier, has once again inherited the "excellent" "rebellion" of her predecessors.
According to tradition, before the reincarnation war between the mantid and the pandaren begins every hundred years, they take the opportunity to raise the flag of rebellion.
And from the elder's words, one can hear a hint of urgency. In other words, the rebellion launched by this scheming queen seems to be so powerful that even the Klaxxi Council, which has been behind the scenes for tens of thousands of years, is worried.
Feeling troubled, Benedictus wanted to search for the sealed heroes throughout the Dread Wasteland, which meant that he had to repeatedly travel through areas controlled by the soldiers under the command of the Grand Queen Xakshier.
And those soldiers of the Great Queen would not let him go so easily because of his "belief".
Secondly, the so-called "heroes" are the honorific title given by the mantid to the top legendary warriors in history. Tens of thousands of years ago, the mantid used the mysterious amber secreted from its sacred tree of Kaipa to preserve the aqir.
The mysterious "Amber Regeneration" technology of the Human Empire, using that mysterious amber, the Mantid can preserve the bodies of great warriors of the past generations and hide them in various safe places.
When the council needs these warriors to turn the tide, these heroic warriors will be awakened again and rejoin the battle.
It sounds wonderful, but amber regeneration has a flaw. The minds of the newly awakened ancient heroes will become very confused after being sealed for a long time. In such chaotic thinking, they will often be unable to control themselves and die.
They went on a killing spree, but these ancient heroes were the top legendary warriors of every era. Once they went crazy, ordinary mantid warriors couldn't stop them.
Therefore, every time a hero is awakened in history, the Parliament will lose a group of loyal and elite soldiers.
To sum up, the mantid elder who seemed to be very talkative quietly dug a bottomless pit for Benedictus who had surrendered.
Judging from Tas's heroic position, he has to awaken 12 heroic warriors in a row in the shortest time, which means that Benedictus has to go through 12 terrible life and death decisions.
As long as you are not careful once, this so-called "New Servant of the Lord" will die immediately...
After all, this group of mantid elders who have lived for more than 10,000 years still do not trust Benedictus, an outsider, and just use him as an insignificant consumable. But to be honest, this kind of encounter is very difficult for Benedictus.
It's not surprising to Benedictus. He has been working as a cultist for a long time and has already seen through the sinister nature of people's hearts.
To be honest, this kind of test is much better than being hacked to death for no reason after meeting... The mantid who can at least communicate gave him a chance, but for the cultists who believe in finding wealth through danger,
As long as there is a chance, it is enough to make a decision and be brave enough to put everything you have into it.
——————————————————————————————
And at the same moment when Benedictus began to work for his "new master", in the southernmost part of Pandaria, on the coastline of the narrow Krasarang Forest near the sea, a strange warship took advantage of the dusk.
The tide of the hour slowly rested on a deserted and deserted beach.
This is a goblin merchant ship with the logo of the Hotsand Consortium printed on it. This merchant ship does not seem to intend to dock on this desolate coast for too long. After hastily putting down a small boat, it started the roar again.
The engine, emitting black smoke, once again disappeared into the waves of the open sea.
On the small boat that was lowered, there were a few strangely dressed people. They were wearing green hoods with the emblem of the Wither Sect dotted on the edge of the hood. They looked like the druids of the Wither.
, but the behavior of several people rowing in turns and looking around cautiously seemed to mean that these people were carrying out a secret operation.
Ten minutes later, they stepped on the cold tide onto the beach. A few people worked together to carry a heavy wooden box. They trudged along the coastline and finally entered the dangerous and prosperous forest of Krasarang Jungle.
For the locals of Pandaria, Krasarang Jungle is a very bad place. The forest here is very lush, and because it is close to the tropics, the forest here is like a rain forest. It grows extremely fast and is not suitable for felling.
Moreover, there are also lizards, mantids, and some mogu bandits who are robbing homes and have been entrenched here for a long time, making this jungle the most dangerous area in Pandaria.
The Pandaren had nothing to do about this, because even the most brutal and powerful mogu army more than 10,000 years ago failed to conquer this forest. Instead, they were defeated by the savage lizardmen in this forest.
Since then, all intelligent creatures in Pandaria have stayed away from this dangerous jungle.
The Pandaren have a town called "Zhujiaji" on the eastern plains of Krasarang Jungle to monitor the movements of Krasarang Jungle. This is also the southeastern border of Pandaren civilization.
And now, these weird wither druids carried the same weird box deep into the forest, but they didn't go too far. Under a hidden river valley, these druids found a hidden place.
In the cave, they sent the box into the cave, then picked up the strange signpost stone they brought with them and made a small guidepost deep in the cave.
A few hours later, at midnight under the dim moonlight of Pandaria, the ground in this humid cave began to tremble strangely. A moment later, more than a dozen fully armed spider demons rushed out of the underground passage.
come out.
And the last one to appear was the Wither's old friend, the last remnant of the Nerubian Empire "Ajjol-Nerub" from Northrend, the Lich King.
He is also an old friend of the kings of the Human Empire - the Deconstructor with powerful mental power and strange silver-white compound eyes, Skris.
"Well, my human friends, you are doing really well."
Compared with the shabby appearance a few years ago, the dismantler's current appearance is much stronger. It still has the original half-human, half-spider posture, but the ancient priest's robe has long been replaced by one.
The best moon-white robe made by the high elf magic tailors, and an insect limb decoration similar to the Qiraji style was added to the weird hood.
On the strange insect limbs of the Deconstructor, there are two magic bracelets, one red and one blue, made of the best mithril. The enchantment masters of Dalaran carved several complex and practical magic circles for it.
, not only can it strengthen its already huge mental power, but it can also transform the mental power into pure magic power to release some very practical spells.
Hanging from its waist is a Qiraji Emperor scepter inlaid with Naiyou gems. It was a trophy after killing the Qiraji twin emperors. The Sword Emperor's sword was dragged back by the humans and melted into a new weapon.
It was given to meritorious ministers, and the Demon King's wand was divided among several spellcasters, and then reshaped by the arcane craftsmen of the high elves into a spell-casting medium that was elegant in appearance and substantial in nature.
As the saying goes, a man relies on a golden horse and a saddle. The dismantler's dress makes this weird spider demon look much more mysterious and profound, and it already has the demeanor of a big shot.
As for why it tries so hard to dress itself up?
The reason is very simple, because insect people also need to eat!
The civilization of the Nerubians is on the verge of extinction. The Deconstructor himself is the last living priest of Ankahar. If it wants to rebuild its civilization, it must draw on the legacy left by the ancient Aqir empire to pull it back.
The genes of the insect eggs are somehow mutated into the genes of the spider demon, and in this way the race can be continued again. However, such a complex experiment cannot be completed by the dismantler alone.
It needs the help of magicians and druids from all over Kalimdor. In this case, even if the "princess" of the Qiraji has been captured, the road to the rejuvenation of the Deconstructor's race is still there.
It has a long distance to go, and it is now trying its best to establish good relations with various forces, hoping that after the nerubian civilization is reborn in the future, it can successfully grow and integrate into the civilization circle of Kalimdor.
It is now a professor of spiritual power courses in New Dalaran, an honorary elder of the Wither Sect, and a royal magic advisor to several human empires. It even has the title of external instructor in the Steamwheedle Consortium, but it is a struggle.
The efforts of the Dismantler in the past few years have indeed made his name famous in the Kalimdor civilization circle. Even the remaining tribesmen have successfully migrated from Northrend to Kalimdor, and they are still in the Shining Plains and
On the edge of Thousand Needles Stone Forest, there is a territory of its own.
From the thick and obviously specially customized armor of the Nerubian guards guarding the Deconstructor, as well as the strange energy spears in their hands that are similar to wands, it can be seen that these Nerubian guards have also learned to use sophisticated equipment.
Make up for the lack of quantity.
"This is your reward..."
The dismantler waved his insect claw, and a powerful nerubian guard handed a bag to the druids. In this magic-marked bag, there were items that the nerubians had ventured from the Ai that had been occupied by the undead.
Many of the magic seeds recovered in the Zo-Nerub Dungeon were magic experiments conducted by the Nerubian Empire during its prosperous period. The Nerubian Priests even planted strange "underground forests" in their own underground empire.
"By the way, say hello to the Patriarch and the Archdruid of Staghelm for me."
The Deconstructor watched the silent druids leave. Under its spiritual command, several nerubian guards walked silently in the darkness, guarding the entrance to the cave.
And Scriss bent down and reached out to open the wooden box that was sent here by the druids. The box was not a precious thing, but was densely arranged in it, with as many as four layers of white items distributed up and down.
Cocoon-like...worm eggs.
"Ah, the first batch of failures."
A trace of loss and regret flashed across the silver-white compound eyes of the Deconstructor. As early as the Kalimdor Quicksand War, it began to collect Qiraji eggs, planning to use the secret genetic technology of the Nerubians to add
It is not impossible to use Qiraji's obelisk magic to induce Qiraji eggs to mutate into Nerubian eggs. The origins of Qiraji and Nerubian are both Aqirs, and their genetic fragments are
90% of them are consistent.
However, the dismantlers underestimated the difficulty of this project. It had been working on it for several years, but it was still stuck at the last link. And at this almost desperate moment, news came in that the fog of Pandaria had been opened.
It reached the ears of the dismantlers, and what was most surprising was that some pirates spread the legend of Pandaria's bugs.
Based on the descriptions of the pirates, the dismantlers were certain that what they were talking about was the last descendant of the Yaqir Empire who fled in advance...the Mantid!
The mantids are not important. Their genes are so different from those of the nerubians that they are almost completely two species. But for the dismantlers, what is really important is not the whereabouts of the mantids, but the "Amber Regeneration" they have mastered.
"Technology! This technology, which can use the amber nourishment of the Kepa tree to ensure the survival rate and health of the cubs, is an important bargaining chip to unlock the last link of the Deconstructor's revival of the Nerubians.
For the continuation of the spider demon civilization, Skris must obtain that technology! Even if it costs everything, he will not hesitate!
But as a member of the Zerg itself, the Dismantler knows the virtues of his "compatriots" very well. It is a matter of foundation. It is absolutely impossible for the Mantid to "regenerate amber" and Kepa, who has been completely extinct in the outside world.
The Holy Tree handed it over...so it must use some "unconventional" means.
"Ah, even if you are defective products, you still have the excellent genes of the Qiraji and Nayou tribes."
The dismantler's insect limbs caressed the eggs that were like large white cocoons. It whispered in the dark cave with a buzzing sound like an insect:
"Short life is not a flaw. In this turbulent era, it is more like a merciless whip. It just allows you to use all the miracles of your life like fireworks in just half a month.
Burn out, like the withered leaves of autumn, dedicating everything you have to your race, my poor children who are destined to do something great..."
"This is a great act, this is a great war..."
The huge mental power of the dismantler is like a delicate key, blending into these white insect eggs, awakening the imperfect life bred inside, and among the weird shaking of those eggs, each one is very similar to
Qiraji worms, but strange larvae with the spiritual power patterns of the Neiyou Zerg on the back of their carapace crawled out of the box.
The biting sound that sounded in the darkness was like the sound of darkness coming from the abyss.
Skris the Deconstructor is like an insect herder. Driven by his will, these insects that combine the genes of Qiraji and Neyu continue to swarm up the ground along the moist land. Pandali
The most chaotic Krasarang Jungle in Asia will be the best "cradle" for these super-reproductive bugs.
In just one week, Skerris will have a Zerg army large enough to invade the Dread Wasteland. Of course, what the Deconstructor wants is not conquest, not war... it just needs to start a war.
Chaos, and then get what you want from it...those things that are extremely important to the continuation of your own race.
It would become the mantid's most hated villain for thousands of years to come.
But it will also become the greatest hero who brings the Neyou race back to life.
His thieves are my heroes... In the cruel struggle between civilizations, the double standards for measuring a person's actions are almost always like this.
