Within the Mantid regime, the assassination of the rebellious Grand Queen seems to have become a tradition.
Thousands of years ago, the "predecessor" of the Grand Queen Shako'sir, a Mantid Grand Queen named Cohalan, was also as talented and ambitious as Shako'sir, and ambitiously tried to overthrow the decadent Klaxxi Council.
She is the one who is closest to success among all the previous empresses.
It is said that at that time, the mantid legions loyal to Queen Kohalan had surrounded the sacred valley of Karaxivis, and all it took was an order from the Great Queen to wipe out the corrupt council.
However, just when she was only one step away from victory, Grand Queen Cohalan was assassinated by an assassin from the Council on her throne. It was a mantid marksman named Hisek, who was hidden in the
Among the Royal Guards of the Great Queen, they pierced Cohalan's heart with an amber arrow specially made by the Parliament, thus ending the rebellion against the Parliament.
As the hero who saved the Parliament, the Kingslayer Hisek was also awarded the title of "Insect Swarm Guardian" and became a glorious hero. He was then sealed in amber and was awakened not long ago.
The Mantid is a race that respects tradition, and they continue the inherent characteristics of the Zerg civilization. The upper-class Bugs have almost dominant oppression over the lower-class Bugs. The various classes of the Mantid recognize each other through "hormones". The theory is
Above, the elders of the Klaxxi Council exude hormones that the lower mantid cannot resist, unless the Great Queen is on their side.
As a member of the same ancient bloodline, once the Great Queen falls out with the Parliament, it means that a brutal internal purge will occur, which will lead to a tragic outcome for every rebellion. Therefore, once a rebellion occurs, whether it is the rebels or the suppressors,
One party would not hold back at all when fighting each other, and that kind of cruelty would make even the Pandaren separated by a wall tremble with fear.
And now, faced with the dual threats of the ever-increasing power of the Great Queen Xia Keshier and that damn weird insect-man army that stabs people from the back, the 11 Karasik elders among Karaxives,
I finally made up my mind.
Although launching another assassination attempt on the Great Queen is somewhat unpleasant and disgraceful, it is the best way to end the rebellion as quickly as possible.
As for the candidates to carry out the assassination mission, the elders do not need to worry at all. Due to the "selfless dedication" of Lord Benedictus, the entire Klaxxi Council now has a complete set of 12 heroes... 12 heroes from all eras.
A top warrior and assassin.
Each of them was a influential figure in their own era, and now they are brought together to carry out an assassination mission... There is no way that the arrogant and stupid Shakesir can escape this assassination alive.
...The Great Queen is dead.
But the heroes are the most powerful and wisest warriors in the mantid population, and they are not without their own thinking. Therefore, after the assassination order is issued, these heroes from all eras will also have their own understanding of this order.
This can be heard from the Yingjie chatting with each other.
"Haha, what's it like to participate in the uprising again? The great swarm guardian Hisek?"
Shakir the Poisonous Heart, this master pharmacist who was good at using blood as raw material to prepare various weird toxins, was active 1,200 years ago. He was also the youngest among the heroes.
After ascending the throne, it also served the then-young Queen. It was awarded the title of Heroic Hero because it used its own medicine to help the Mantid withstand the largest counterattack by the Pandaren on the Mantis Plateau.
What can I say about this guy? He is not a likable guy. When chatting with him, you should pay special attention to the syringe in his paws. He treats everything as a test subject. This bad habit is very bad.
Facing the inquiry from the Poisonous Mind, the swarm guard Sisek, who had personally killed the rebel queen Kohalan, this marksman replied casually while assembling his own amber sonic gun:
"There is no special feeling. It's just that Xia Keshier reminds me of the queen I once loyal to, Kohalan. They also cover up their true purpose in the name of kindness. They also claim that their dictatorship is to protect us.
Inheritance, but this is not actually the case... In the future when she is imprisoning the insect swarm, her so-called "preventing unnecessary sacrifices" is the most ridiculous statement."
"Well said, my elder brother."
The speech of Swarm Guardian Sisek won the admiration of Windreaver Kil'ruk who was applying poison on the dagger on the other side. This top assassin with a "chivalrous spirit" said in a deep voice:
"The reincarnation of the mantid is the most noble inheritance. The weak die and the strong live. It is this kind of reincarnation that keeps the mantid alive for thousands of years! Xia Ke'siel is just a pathetic person who has been blinded by power.
..."
"Indeed, she was just obsessed with power, eager to prolong her rule, and sacrificed our eternal reincarnation for this clumsy goal!"
The one who spoke this time was Marik the Unwounded. This master of martial arts has experienced hundreds of battles. He once personally faced the siege of four legendary monks from the Shado-Pan, but he used his own amber sword to defeat him.
After the deadly battle, all four monks were killed. The reason why it was called the Innocent One was precisely because of its powerful combat skills. It turned the tide in its era and saved the fate of the two legions from defeat.
This is a warrior with a strong style, and his voice is full of the sound of swords and guns:
"So we have no choice but to kill Shakosir for the sake of eternal reincarnation!"
"Haha, I don't care what she did, I just want to kill her!"
A violent voice sounded behind several heroes, and Kazik, the gluttonous locust who kept moving the amber folding knife in his hand, said with a bloodthirsty look:
"I want to chop off her beautiful head with my own hands as my trophy!"
"But you should respect her too!"
The Windreaver Kil'ruk, who has a rather upright personality, has strong objections to some of the cruel behaviors of the Gluttonous Locust. The assassin said in a deep voice:
"She is the Great Queen, and we need to give her a decent end. And, I once heard, Gluttonous Locust, the reason why you were named a hero is because you massacred the slaves of the Mogu people in your era, letting Pan
The construction of Dragon's Back was completed more than ten years ago. I can't deny your victory, but I actually don't understand why such a powerful warrior like you would base your reputation on chasing down fleeing farmers."
This rather malicious question did not make Gluttonous Locust furious. The guy who seemed to have some mental problems shrugged his shoulders and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"It's simple, because when I was chasing them, I couldn't jump very far..."
"Hahahaha, that's right. The feeling of slaughtering the weak and drinking blood always makes people extremely fascinated!"
Another mentally ill butcher, the crazy and morbid blood seeker Rikar screamed in his high-pitched voice:
"Ahhh! I have to kill something. I'm going crazy waiting!"
"You! Quiet!"
The old-fashioned voice scolded, and the lucid Ijokuk, who was studying the amber spell, a rare spellcaster among the mantid heroes, shouted in an indifferent voice:
"You're disturbing my study! Either be quiet, or I'll "help" you be quiet!"
"What did you say?"
This scolding made the violent Bloodseeker angry. It stared at the Clear One fiercely and screamed:
"You want me to be quiet? I'm going to sew your mouth shut!"
"Quiet!"
Seeing that an internal fight was about to happen, a deeper voice sounded behind the heroes. At this moment, all the heroes leaned towards the warrior wearing ancient armor and holding an amber battle ax and shield.
Salute, even the most arrogant gluttonous locusts and blood seekers would not dare to make mistakes.
Because the one who came was Supreme Korvan, the first hero in the history of the Mantid, and it was he who invented the "amber preservation" technique. Without it, these heroes before us would have long since withered in time.
This can be seen from its title. The Supreme... can be recognized by the arrogant heroes of every era. This already illustrates Korfan's strength.
"Shako'sir is a pathetic person whose heart is filled with madness and ambition, but as Kil'ruk said, she is the supreme empress of the Mantid after all... She deserves a decent ending!"
The Supreme One stood among the heroes and said in a deep voice:
"I'm tired of facing this rebellion every time I wake up. Let this end, tonight! And I'm tired of your bickering. You are heroes, the greatest warriors of the Mantid. This is
Your fighting posture? It’s really disappointing!”
"Disperse, get ready...then tonight, the generals who will accompany me on the expedition and are still loyal to the parliament have opened the way to the palace for us. Tonight is when everything will end."
The Supreme One with the most noble status and the most powerful power spoke, and no other heroes were willing to stir up trouble at this time. But after the swarm dispersed, the Wind Reaver Kil'ruk did not leave. He looked around
Look, and then whisper to the Supreme Being:
"It is an honor to follow you, Supreme One. I have grown up listening to your legendary stories since I was a child, but now... I have an uneasy feeling. The Lord... the voice of the Lord, in
It disappeared from my mind."
There was a hint of trembling in Wind Reaver's voice, which is a rare scene among top warriors. This means that "insect knights" like Wind Reaver also feel a little... fear.
But in the face of the Wind Reaver's doubts, Supreme Korfan was silent for a moment, and he whispered:
"Don't doubt the greatness of the Lord. This may be just a test. Don't think too much. Just prepare, Wind Reaver... Everything will be discussed after we kill Xia Kesiel..."
The Supreme One turned around and left without hesitation, but from its voice, the Wind Reaver could also feel a hint of...confusion. This meant that it was not the only one who could no longer hear the voice of the Master's soul.
The ancient first-generation warrior, the Supreme Korvan, who has the closest connection with the Lord, seems to have lost the guidance of that faith.
No wonder...no wonder they haven't seen those Karaxiva ("Klaxxi elders") in Karaxives since last night. Those elders probably also discovered this problem.
If the Lord hadn't deliberately set up a trial, this might mean...the Lord had...
"No!"
The Wind Reaver stopped himself from this crazy idea. The Overlord was a god that the Mantid had believed in for ten thousand years. There was absolutely no way it could fall so silently.
This is definitely a test! Yes, it is a test set by the Lord for believers like them...
A determined light shone in the compound eyes of the Wind Reaver. It is the executor of the dominant faith, and it must complete this trial!
It must kill...the rebellious Grand Empress, Shakesir!
———————————————
That night, 12 heroes, led by secret spies loyal to the Klaxxi Council, sneaked into the Grand Queen's palace and defeated the Grand Queen's royal guards with almost no effort.
For these top warriors of all eras, these ordinary mantids who have experienced hundreds of battles are no match for them. However, this raid seems to have gone awry. Just as the heroes rushed to the palace, they were supposed to be guarding
Royal Prime Minister Zorrok and Blade Lord Tayak outside the palace rushed as quickly as possible with a large number of legions to support the Great Queen.
And the most terrible thing is that their raid also awakened the terrifying mantid war weapon, Siege Lord Galalon, who was guarding the entrance to the Grand Queen's Palace. It was a monster that could easily tear apart any city gate.
The Great Queen's favorite pet had actually fallen out with the Parliament and launched a rebellion. Worried about following in the footsteps of her "predecessors" who had been assassinated, the Great Queen placed this terrifying monster weighing dozens of tons in the
In front of his bedroom.
This unexpectedly powerful enemy stopped the 12 heroes who originally planned to kill the Great Queen in one go.
The mantid's siege bug moves slowly, but its carapace is extremely thick. Even the most powerful Supreme will take a while to break through the carapace.
"Windreaver! Gluttonous Locust! And Hisek!"
The Supreme One used his battle ax and shield to block the royal guards rushing from all directions while shouting:
"You three! Rush in! Kill Xakoshier! Other heroes, follow me and buy time for our brothers!"
It has to be said that the arrangement of the Supreme is very reasonable. These three heroes are the best assassin heroes among the 12 heroes, and they have long-range and melee cooperation. Under the ambush of the three of them, the Great Queen Xia
There was no way Coghill would survive.
The actual situation was exactly like this. Facing the three heroes who rushed into the palace, the royal guards around Xia Keshier were completely vulnerable. The great queen herself held her scepter in panic and tried to escape in a panic.
She is the great queen. Although she has excellent bloodline, she has never fought much in her life. Facing the heroes who came out of the blood sea of the mountain of corpses, Xia Kexier is no match at all.
In just ten seconds, she was stabbed with terrible scars on her body by the Wind Reaver's dagger. The most terrible thing was that the insect swarm guard Sisek, who had sniped the Queen of Cohalan,
A deadly gun containing toxin has also been pointed at her head.
Maybe in the next moment, the supreme queen Xia Keshier will die here, and everything she desires, power, status and eternal rule, will end here.
"No! No!"
The Great Queen moved her body in panic, trying to escape from the Wind Reaver's dagger. She shouted in a desperate voice:
"Who can save me! No matter who it is... please, help me!"
And the next moment, just as Sisek's fatal bullet flew out of the gun barrel, a strange spider demon wearing a moon-white robe emerged from the ground under the palace with a magical gesture.
It used its insect limbs to grab the seriously injured Great Queen, and its other claws grabbed the Windreaver Kil'ruk who was caught off guard.
"Shua"
Amidst the explosion of toxin bullets, the three high-level bugs mysteriously disappeared into the heavily surrounded palace.
