Not to mention that the Pandaren have been involved in a long discussion because of the scroll sent by the Mantid messenger. As the two races have had a blood feud for nearly ten thousand years, peace will not be achieved overnight.
The goal that can be achieved, in fact... this time point is likely to be calculated in ten years.
At this time, the situation in the Dread Wasteland was still chaotic. This amber notice posted in various Mantid towns almost immediately caused an uproar.
The reincarnation of the mantids has been going on for more than 10,000 years. Any inheritance that has been going on for more than 10,000 years will be engraved in the blood and bones of a race and become a part of their lives and even their lives. This kind of inheritance is not a certain kind of inheritance.
A great queen can change things by issuing an order at will. Of course, Xia Keshier did not say anything recklessly.
She just told the mantid that the hundred-year bloody battle with the pandaren would be a thing of the past, and that the mantid's ten-year reincarnation would not end here, but would enter a new cycle under her leadership.
But even so, this announcement that added fuel to the fire still allowed those mantid nobles who were still hesitating to make the final decision. A large number of the lords regretfully stood on the opposite side of Xak'sir, but
To be honest, this is exactly what the Great Queen wants to see... clearing out all the dissatisfied forces at once.
Especially after receiving the "support and help" from the brothers of the ancient Yaqir Zerg tribe, and then mobilizing those mantid loyal to the queen on the Mantis Plateau back to the Dread Wasteland, the current Grand Queen Xia Ke'siel has enough ability to do so.
To this point!
The Mantid, which has been guided by faith for more than 10,000 years, wants to completely get rid of the influence of faith. It can definitely not be done by just getting rid of a Klaxxi Council. That council is only the superficial enemy of the Great Queen. She
The real enemy is the longing for faith in the ancient sages in the hearts of her people. However, the great ancient sages are dead...
It's time to purge this meaningless belief and establish absolute authority over Shakesir himself!
Of course, if there are people who want reform, there must be people who will hinder it. After the Queen asked outsiders for help and killed the elders of the Klaxxi Council, the first order she issued angered some people who harbored suspicions about her.
Dissatisfied mantid.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to kill her!"
The remaining members of the 12 Heroes are currently gathering on an isolated island outside the mire sea northwest of the Dread Wasteland. This place is called Zanivis. It is a border mine controlled by the Mantid. A few days ago,
It was here that the stranger Benedictus awakened Rikal the Cutter. Unfortunately, that brave hero had died in the battle against the demigods, and Skir, the most anxious bloodseeker among the six heroes, was here.
It was extremely violent at that time, screaming and trying to rush out of its hiding place and assassinate the Great Queen Xia Keshier again.
But to be honest, the blood seeker is not angry because Xak'sir wants to destroy the mantid tradition. This guy is not yet so aware. The fundamental reason for his anger is that the battle 2 days ago was too suffocating.
Surrendered... Facing the two demigods who control wind and fire, Yingjie, who has always regarded himself as the strong, can only face the fate of being slaughtered.
How can the arrogant blood seeker endure this?
"Are you going to die? Bastard!"
The one who stopped the blood seeker was the calmest among the heroes, the clear one, Iyokuk. This spell caster luckily escaped in the battle of the demigods. In fact, if the clear one had not acted decisively with spells, the rest of the people would have been killed.
The heroes below teleported out of Karaxivis, and I am afraid that all 12 heroes will die in battle that night.
"Let go! I don't want to live like a mouse! If you want to live like this, don't hold me back!"
The blood seeker screamed, and from its eyes that were like spitting fire, it could be seen that although this guy didn't say it, he was about to be driven crazy by the emptiness of the lack of faith in his heart...
The heroes believed in the ancient sages, but now, the master has completely fallen, and there is no longer the light of faith in their hearts. How can they endure this?
The bloodthirsty nature of the blood seeker made it unable to control its painful heart. It threw away the clear one Yiyokuk and rushed out of the house with weapons in hand. However, when it rushed to the door, it was killed by the insect.
The Mantid Supreme appeared there, supported by group guard Hisek.
"Go back!"
Korfan, the most powerful and oldest among the heroes, was in a very bad state at this time. He faced off against Anzu, the storm god, in the Battle of the Demigods. Although he did not win, it gave other heroes the chance to transfer.
Time, but when it faced the strong wind and sharp blade set off by Anzu, half of its body was almost chopped into pieces. If the Supreme had not possessed the secret technique of amber regeneration, it might have entered the grave by this time.
Although the Supreme One in front of him was very weak, the Bloodseeker felt strongly unwilling to face the scolding, but in the end he obediently returned to the house.
Under the protection of Sisek and the uninjured Marik, the weak Supreme One entered the hiding room. It leaned on the chair and looked at the four heroes in front of it. The fastest-moving gluttonous locust, Kazik, was here.
At that time, he was serving as a sentinel outside the sea, and only these 6 people were left among the 12 heroes. This undoubtedly made people feel that things have changed.
"Ahem..."
The Supreme One coughed hard. It raised its head and looked at the four heroes with different expressions in front of it. After a moment of silence, the Supreme One spoke:
"We don't have much time. Xia Keshier will not let us run around freely. It is foreseeable that the Queen's guards may soon surround the island, so I will keep the story short.
"
"I know the anxiety in your hearts. You may want to ask me, what happened to the ancient venerable? Why has the whisper we have always been able to sense completely dissipated... It has fallen, Xia Keshier announced before the war.
The news is true, the master that the mantid believed in for more than ten thousand years has died, and the evil power of Pandaria is quickly dissipating, which proves this."
"That..."
The Clear One wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Supreme One who raised his forelimbs. The Ancient Yingjie closed his eyes, and after more than ten seconds of silence, he said:
"On the night when Karaxives was raided, I discussed this problem with the elders. The elders couldn't come up with a solution. That was the gods. It was not a disaster that us mortals could speculate on, but...but not
There are two ways to save our empty hearts. Now there are two ways before you. Before you are completely driven crazy by the emptiness of your fragmented faith, you must make a choice."
"First, as a prisoner, return to the Mantid Kingdom under the rule of Shakosir and accept the new belief she preached, the cycle of life and death and the possibility of pursuing endless evolution. Frankly speaking, this new belief is actually
Perfect for a mantid..."
"Don't go!"
The Blood Seeker folded its arms, and the insect wings behind it flapped:
"I won't go back to being a dog!"
"Oh...okay."
The Supreme shook his head and said the second method:
"The true form of the ancient lord is Y'Shaarj, the most powerful ancient god. We worship this most powerful ancient god, but Y'shaarj is not the only ancient god in the world. The mantid is a descendant of darkness from ancient times.
Beings born in the empire, we are naturally extremely adaptable to the power of the ancient gods. Now, since the ancient lord has fallen, we can go find another ancient god."
"But it's risky!"
Korfan said with difficulty:
"The power of other ancient gods is not as gentle as the ancient venerable. As far as I know, the power of other ancient gods will distort the soul and body. This is an extremely terrifying future. If you can, I don't want you to choose this path.
"
"Wait! Someone is coming!"
Just when the Supreme wanted to continue speaking, Hisek, the insect swarm guard with the sharpest senses, suddenly took off his sonic gun from behind. He glanced at the other heroes, then quickly moved to the window, and towards
Looking outside, the other heroes gripped their weapons tightly, ready to fight to the death.
But what was unexpected was that the person who came was not a stranger, nor was it the hunting dogs of the Great Queen Xia Keshier.
"Bang"
The door of the hiding place was pushed open, and Kazik, the Gluttonous Locust who was on guard outside, walked into the room with a man wearing a black hood. The Gluttonous Locust said to the Supreme with an ugly face:
"Those damn Qiraji are coming, as well as those Blightcaller druids... We have to leave immediately!"
"No, it's not important!"
The Supreme One's eyes were firmly fixed on the man in the black hood in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? I feel that you are very familiar..."
"Of course it's very familiar. After all, I was the one who woke you up."
The weird human stretched out his hand and opened his hood. Under the hood, what was revealed was the face of Benedictus, who had become younger. The body that had been destroyed by the heroes had returned to normal, even better than before.
Health, this guy who has lost contact with him for several days, seems to have had some kind of adventure.
Benedictus looked at the heroes in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, took out something from his storage ring, and opened it in front of the heroes.
"Shua"
Black, familiar energy fluctuations floated in the room. At this moment, all the heroes, including the seriously injured Supreme Korfan, widened their eyes, because in the box in Benedictus's hand, there was
There was a small piece of black, squirming flesh, which looked like a fragment of some kind of organ.
"This...this is..."
The always calm Clarity could not even speak clearly at this moment. Benedictus shrugged his shoulders and said to the heroes in front of him:
"Fortunately, I brought your "Ancient Venerable" back... Unfortunately, I went a little late, and only found this little wreckage, and as you can see, it is too weak, it...
.It is about to be truly annihilated..."
"No! This is enough!"
The Supreme stared at the black flesh and blood fragments. It stood up with difficulty. Under the gaze of other heroes, Korfan picked up the amber battle ax at his waist and tore open the wound on his abdomen with an axe. On the green
With his flesh and blood splattered everywhere, the Supreme One shouted with difficulty:
"Put it into my body...use my flesh and blood as a host. As long as we can find enough "nutrients", the ancient venerable will still revive! Hurry!"
Seeing that the Supreme had made such a sacrifice, Benedictus no longer hesitated. He used his magic hand to take out the black flesh and blood residue and carefully put it into the wound on the abdomen of the Supreme in front of him.
The moment the black flesh and blood residue came into contact with the fresh flesh and blood, the body of the Supreme Being was enveloped by a layer of endlessly fluttering dark light curtain.
The light curtain was like a large cocoon formed layer by layer, wrapping up the weak Supreme One bit by bit.
And at the moment when the rays of light closed together, the Supreme One whispered:
"Before the Ancient One and I awaken, you... obey the orders of the Awakener... He can be trusted!"
"Buzz"
The black halo completely closed at this moment. Looking at the large black cocoon in front of him that was tall enough for a person, Benedictus's eyes flashed with light. He shrugged and said to the other five heroes:
"Guys, I know you don't trust me. This is normal. Frankly speaking, if the group of wither thugs hadn't been chasing you too closely, I wouldn't have taken the risk to find you. But you also heard what the Supreme One said,
I think at least before we escape, we should trust each other..."
"trust?"
With a cruel light flashing in its eyes, Kazik, the gluttonous locust, deliberately threw out the knife-like segments on its forelimbs. It deliberately threatened Benedictus with a cold voice:
"Such a trustworthy friend, I'm very hungry now, can I get a piece of meat from you...delicious blood..."
Black Bishop Benedictus glanced at the Gluttonous Locust and snorted:
"Whatever you want, but if you still want to escape, with all due respect, the Great Queen Xia Keshier has almost all the power in the Dread Wasteland. If you want to escape alive, you have to rely on me...
.Hehe, you may be better at fighting than me, but when it comes to understanding Azeroth, do you know as much as I do? Apart from anything else, the Supreme One just said that in order for the Ancient One to resurrect, you need a lot of skills.
"nutrient"!"
"Do you know where to find it?"
"Okay, Kha'Zix, don't scare the Awakener."
Ijokuk the Clear One made a low insect chirp and looked at Benedictus:
"Stop being so pretentious, Waker, tell me, how are you going to take us out? Most importantly, where are you going to take us?"
βItβs easy!β
Benedictus took out a rough world map from his storage ring and unfolded it in front of the heroes. He pointed to the northernmost continent on the world map and said softly:
"Here, at the northernmost tip of Northrend, the North Pole of the entire Azeroth, here sleeps another ancient god, Yogg-Saron. There we can find enough nutrients to supply the carrier of the ancient lord.
, that is, Supreme Korfan, and most importantly, if I remember correctly, my old friend Cho'gall should also be active in this place now!"
"The Titan city of Ulduar has fallen into darkness..."
"That's our destination... Pack your things, put down your dignity as a warrior first, heroes, it's time to run away... Of course, we will come back when the great "Master" recovers.
!β
"Believe me, the day of revenge won't be too long."
