Velen told Anduin at the Ulduar camp about the recent unrest in Draenor, which actually happened more than a month ago.
Moreover, the scale and influence of this matter are much more serious than the prophet's understatement. However, considering that the prophet did not personally witness those weird lizard people attacking the Draenor civilization, his inaccurate description
, it’s not really a mistake.
Probably around the time the dwarves found the city map of Ulduar, in another world connected by the Dark Portal, an ogre caravan traveling between Nagrand Grassland and Gorgrond was attacked.
The attack, the scale of that attack was not large. The attackers could not even break through the defense line of the ogre guards, and were repelled by the fierce ogres on the spot.
No one noticed this at the time. Under the rule of the Dark Blade, the overall order of the Draenor world tended to be good, but in border areas like Gorgrond, small wars between races have always been
It never stopped, especially the conflict between the more savage ogres and the Khajiit tribe who were forced to migrate to Gorgrond. It was just like the frequent fighting in the countryside, and there was no way to sort it out.
But on the third day after the night attack, the ogre caravan that repelled the attackers was attacked a second time when they were near Zangarmarsh. But this time, they did not
Hide away...
When the Broken tribe in Zangarmarsh found the last traces of the caravan, all the Broken hunters were frightened by the horrific scene.
According to them, next to the icy mire, every ogre corpse in the huge caravan was mutilated, as if it had been deliberately chewed by some kind of wild beast, full of traces of revenge, but
However, the goods stored in the caravan were carefully selected. Those violent attackers were wise and only took away some items that might be useful to them.
It is worth noting that judging from the traces at the scene, this massacre was carried out very neatly. The whole process may not have taken more than 20 minutes. It is difficult to imagine that in the world of Draenor, any race can be killed within 20 minutes.
The powerful and brutal ogres were defeated, and some strange weapons and armor fragments were also released at the scene. They were rough metals, which proved that the attackers had the habit of wearing armor and could smelt metal themselves.
The frightened Broken Hunters immediately reported the news to the death knights stationed in Zangarmarsh. After the death knights surveyed the scene, they sent the news to the Guardians of the North of Draenor. Death
Lord Serent Firewing, but the news was withheld, and the matter was slowly forgotten.
But soon, frequent port robberies occurred in all places near the sea in the entire Draenor continent. Some weird, lizard-like creatures rushed into the port on canoes in the mist, plundering all kinds of things.
commodities, defeated the defenders, and then left gracefully on the stolen ship. With the frequent robberies at the port, the true identity of the attackers from outside the sea was also known to the civilized races in the world of Draenor.
That's a lizard man...
Their appearance is very similar to that of a large lizard that walks upright. Their bodies are tall and strong, with sharp claws and thick hard-skinned scales. There are also some bony cuticles on the bright scales. These guys' eyes can communicate with
They turn like lizards, but there is a vicious and intelligent light shining in them. They seem to have a strict hierarchy, a complete social civilization system, their own language, and even some weird...beliefs.
Every robbery of these guys is carried out under the command of some lizardmen officers wearing armor and holding heavy weapons. The low-level infantry do not wear armor, but are issued with rough and ferocious metal weapons, even in the port of Frostfire Ridge.
During the plunder, these lizardmen also dispatched war beasts that could fly in the air, similar to pterodactyls.
It is difficult to say whether the Lizardmen are a native race of the world of Draenor, because the main civilization of this small world, that is, the era when the civilization of the orcs reached its peak, they did not embark on a journey around the entire world, but according to this
According to the Draenei people who have lived in the world for more than 200 years, the world of Draenor has only one main continent, occupying one-third of the world's surface area, and the remaining two-thirds are endless oceans, and in that vast
There are indeed many islands above the ocean.
Maybe these lizard people are the creatures living on those islands, or... they were brought from another world by some force.
For a time, along with the frequent port robberies that shook the world of Draenor, there were also various conspiracy theories, which pointed directly at the Dark Blade Legion that ruled the world of Draenor and was aloof.
But before the spokesperson of the Dark Blade Legion in the world of Draenor responded directly to these vicious conspiracy theories, those oppressed civilizations had no time to argue about these things... because those lizardmen who rushed out of the sea,
began to enter the mainland on a large scale.
This means that the war...has begun!
————————————————
On the coastline of Terokkar Forest, a black turbid current is rolling from the endless sea to the port on the coast. This is a commercial port built by the exiles of Shattrath City. It is a place for exiles and
It is one of the most important transit points for commercial trade in the Raven Kingdom. Elite soldiers of the exiles are stationed all year round. It is also a very important link in the commercial system of Shattrath City.
But now, the port is facing a terrible crisis.
"Bang"
A heavy, strange golden war sword with double blades covered with metal spikes came down. This ferocious weapon engraved with various strange symbols easily broke the blade of the ogre guard in front of him. The arrogant wave
The tall ogre was hit by the force and kept retreating. In front of him, stood a terrifying monster wearing golden armor and a snake-shaped war helmet.
Its erect height reached an astonishing 4 meters. The golden armor covered the lizard man's heart and chest. The skin exposed outside the armor was covered with strange white scales. It held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Behind it, a tail covered with spikes swung from side to side, and the tail vertebra covered with bone spurs was like a small war hammer.
The white lizard man's thick legs stood on the beach, and its cold blue eyes shone with the sinister light unique to reptiles. It looked at the ogre in front of it, who was constantly retreating out of fear, and with a hoarse voice,
A voice similar to a poisonous snake spitting a message spoke the awkward lingua franca of the world of Draenor. The words were not clear but could still be understood. What it said was:
"Stupid hot-blooded creature..."
"You're getting in the way of...the grand plan!"
"Bang"
The ferocious war hammer-like sword crashed down. The frightened ogre raised his arms to try to block the blow, but the lizard man in front of him was no ordinary soldier. The power it possessed could even be called "strange power".
The heavy sword was chopped down, and the ogre's arms, his head, heart, chest, and ribs were smashed into a disgusting mass of flesh and blood.
Warm blood splashed on the lizard man's face, making his expression look even more ferocious, but the passing of life in front of him failed to make this powerful lizard man feel any fluctuation in his mood.
It swung its tail, like a whistling battering ram, hitting the chest of the Broken Assassin who was trying to attack behind him, sending the short, rickety, rat-like life flying into the cold sea water. The next moment, that
The Broken One still tried to surface, but in the dark and cold tide, in the deep sea behind it, countless black creatures were quickly rushing to the surface.
They were lizard warriors holding spears and not wearing armor... Each of them had the same cold mind as their leader.
They are chosen creatures!
They were born with a sacred mission!
The meaning of their existence is to clear all obstacles to the big plan!
"For the big plan!"
Above the sea, on the deck of the stolen ogre merchant ship, there was a man holding a sword embellished with Apexis crystals, wearing armor, a strange metal ring dotted on the back of his head, and a white bone crown.
, the lizardman general with the white-bone lizardman battle flag on his back shouted in his hoarse voice:
"Clean the world!"
Under its roar, tens of thousands of lizardmen warriors who rushed into the beaches and ports became even more fanatical. They used their spears, knives, and even their own sharp teeth and claws to engage in bloody battles with the trapped enemies in front of them.
Crazy fighting... These lizardmen do not take prisoners. This has been known to all the guards guarding the port during the previous port robbery, so there is no possibility of relaxation between the two sides.
Either win or die!
"Send the news back to Shattrath City! Quick!"
Major Delaney, who was stationed at the port on the coast of Terokkar Forest, swung his warhammer and knocked down a lizardman soldier who rushed into the city wall. While the blood was flying, he turned back and shouted to the arakkoa wizard beside him:
"We can't defend this place anymore! There are too many of them!"
As soon as the major finished speaking, a strange big bird flapped its periosteum-covered wings from the lizard man's plundering fleet and flew into the sky. It was a strange pterodactyl, which seemed to have been transformed by some evil magic.
, its body became larger, like a blood-red bat flying across the sky. Between the howls of the weird pointed head, the lizard-man sky knights riding behind it held high the bone battle flag, just like
Like a pioneer in the sky.
Soon, the battle for the sky over the port began. The Void Ray Knights of the Broken Setting Sun Air Force, who originally had a slight air advantage, were forced to withdraw from the battlefield by the Lizardmen's pterodactyls.
Those crazy beasts jumped down from behind the pterodactyls, jumped into the city walls and ports, and started burning, killing and looting crazily. This scene made the guards who stood on the city walls extremely desperate... All their resistance was meaningless.
Already.
Ten minutes later, the heroic Draenei major had his legs broken and was dragged in front of the lizardman general. The lizardman general was holding the Apexis crystal sword and looking at the prisoner in front of him with cold eyes.
, it will not accept it into the great lizardman army, and the reason why it is spared its life is just because this warrior's heroic fighting posture deserves a more glorious ending.
Under the gaze of hundreds of lizardmen officers, the lizardman general raised the sword in his hand and said to the draenei major who was gasping in pain:
"You are not the first warrior to fall in front of us, and you will not be the last! Your death is a destined part of the big plan... Feel this supreme glory!"
Major Delaney, who was in a pool of blood, looked at the tragic scene of the entire prosperous port being submerged in blood and fire. He closed his eyes in pain. Before the sharp blade was added, he shouted with his last strength:
"You crazy people! There's no big plan... You're crazy!"
These words made the lizard general's eyes suddenly grow cold, and the sharp blade in his hand whizzed down:
"Stupid disobedient!"
"Shua"
Amidst the splatters of almost boiling blood, the lizardman general lifted the Draenei's head. It looked at the ignited city and raised the sword in its hand high:
"Must complete...the big plan!"
"We never forgive, we never stop, we show no mercy..."
"Lizard warriors... cleanse the world for a grand plan!"
"roar!"
This shout made tens of thousands of lizardmen on the entire beach raise their weapons. Those crazy roars seemed to shake the land. In the roar of those lizardmen, the turbid current of war did not stop for long.
Quickly, they set off again and continue moving forward in one direction.
And there...is Shattrath City!

"They're not bad, right?"
On the top platform of the Black Temple, which returned to the world of Draenor, the Archlich Anastarian Sunstrider was showing off his latest work to the High Lord Tyrion, while completely observing the coast of Terokkar Forest.
The great lord of this war nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, yes, yes... Although these enhanced cold-blooded creatures are not as good as my legion, they are barely enough to join the doomsday battle that is bound to come. But I am very curious, my great lich, you
How do you strengthen them and how do you control them?"
Tyrion rubbed his chin as he recalled the lizardmen living in the Pandaria continent of Azeroth. The lizardmen army in front of him was obviously stronger, tougher, and more destructive than those lizardmen, and there were also those
The firm belief that the lizardmen do not have, the power of blood strengthens their bodies, and the weird "big plan" strengthens their minds.
This made the great lord very curious, and under his inquiry, the great lich turned sideways and made a "please" gesture:
"Then, come with me, great lord."
"Let me show you in full... the so-called big plan!"
