Chapter 1051 New Years Eve The Door of Darkness Opens Again
Live broadcast: Azeroth Chapter 1051 The Dark Portal reopens on New Year’s Eve
Sarlayan knew nothing about Melinsela's secret operation for the time being. After returning to the Deshom Temple through the Dream Road, he once again encouraged the Druids who stayed in the temple, and then rushed back to Dutseul without stopping.
Horned Beast City.
After returning from the Caverns of Time, he was delayed in the Emerald Dream. When Sharlayan returned home, it was already the last few days of the Black Gate 15th year, just in time for the annual meeting of the Duke of Deep Shadow.
new year celebration.
However, due to the approaching war, even the Duchy of Deep Shadow, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, is still feeling anxious.
Compared with the liveliness of previous years, the New Year celebration held in the territory this time has obviously become a lot more deserted.
Hurrying back from the Wyrmrest Temple in Northrend, Sharlayan was fortunate not to hear the worst news from Valeera and Stellagosa, the secretaries in charge of territorial affairs.
Only two members of the Kirin Tor Council, Modera and Ansrem, were left in Dalaran. A large number of elites led by Speaker Ronin personally rushed to the Watch Keep at the forefront.
Thanks to the efforts of a large number of mages from Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, the Dark Portal was finally prevented from opening before the end of the year, allowing the soldiers stationed at Nethergarde Keep to have a peaceful year.
However, according to Jaina, who had just teleported back from the Cursed Land, Luo Ning and others' efforts were about to reach their limit.
According to Luo Ning's own prediction, within 10 days at the latest, the opening of the Dark Door will no longer be able to be suppressed.
Sharlayan was not surprised by this. Although there were a large number of mages on Azeroth trying to hold them back, the eredar warlocks on the Burning Legion side were not vegetarians either.
The space passage blown up by Khadgar was originally closer to the Draenor side. It would be easier for the Burning Legion to repair the passage nearby than it would be for the mages who were far away on the Azeroth side to try to slow down the progress.
The tug-of-war between Azeroth and the Burning Legion over the Dark Portal is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the latest news from Kel'Thuzad from Stratholme, the Scourge is basically ready to launch an attack.
As soon as the news of the opening of the Dark Portal comes, the ambitious Alsace will officially raise his banner and blatantly call on the hard-line nobles in Odanlon to reunite under his banner.
As for how Arthas would explain his undead army to the nobles who had taken refuge in him, that was beyond the scope of Sharlayan's consideration.
If he didn't even have the ability to play with lakes, Terenas wouldn't put his hope in Alsace to inherit his will.
As the New Year approaches, Julian Deep Shadow, who has been wandering abroad, finally comes back after a long journey on the last day before the New Year.
Then, of course, the angry Yin Nasi pulled her long ears into the room and taught her for a while.
As for the specific education...well, it's better for good children not to know.
Before dinner that day, when the two of them reappeared in the restaurant, Julian, who was still tired from rushing all the way, looked disheveled and held his hand on his lower back. On the contrary, Yin Nasi, who had been in a bad mood recently, had a radiant face.
All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.
Yin Nasi's bad mood was not because her husband was not at home for a long time, but because her experiment did not go well.
But this is normal. It is not easy to carry out genetic engineering in a fantasy world with a medieval background like Azeroth. There are not as many advanced high-tech instruments as the world where the barrage is located.
Even if you want to use magic to restore it, it's not that easy.
Yin Nasi is a genetic engineering expert, not a mechanical engineering expert. She also has little knowledge of the various high-precision equipment mentioned in the knowledge about other worlds, and does not dare to imitate them rashly.
Without the assistance of various professional instruments and relying entirely on manual experiments, the progress will certainly not be rapid.
Fortunately, the dragons and high elves have enough time, and Yin Nasi doesn't have to rush.
But having said that, seeing the rapid progress of the experiment, Yin Nasi's mood must not have improved, and Julian, who returned in a hurry, was hit by the muzzle of the gun.
Although it was much deserted compared to previous years, Sarlayan still dutifully hosted the New Year celebration party in Unicorn City, counting down the seconds to welcome the arrival of the new year with the smiling residents.
"10,9...1,0!"
Sarlayan, who was standing on the high platform, seemed not to notice the worried expressions of the people, and still had a friendly smile on his face.
"As a lord, I hereby announce that the Dark Portal has officially arrived in 2016!"
"Everyone, cheer as much as you can for a better year!"
Although they were still somewhat worried, with the encouragement of Sarlayan, the people of the Duchy of Deep Shadow started a round of cheers throughout the city to save face.
Just as Sarlayan waved back to the citizens below with a smile on his face, he suddenly saw a person out of the corner of his eye who shouldn't have appeared at this time.
The expression on Sarlayan's face stiffened slightly. After forcing himself to finish the celebration process, he just turned his back and walked off the stage. His expression immediately turned gloomy.
"Why"
The uninvited guest——Villes Deep Shadow sighed in understanding, raised his big hand and patted Sarlayan on the shoulder.
"You should have guessed my purpose, right? I won't beat around the bush."
Welles, who was supposed to be reunited with his family at Deep Shadow Manor, was dispatched urgently on New Year's Eve. There must be extremely important information that needed to be conveyed.
As expected, this piece of information that alarmed all the top brass in Quel'Thalas came from the Cursed Land in the south of the continent.
I don’t know whether it’s because the New Year is approaching and we are a little relaxed, or the Burning Legion specifically saw this opportunity and suddenly launched an attack.
In short, judging from the results, the door to darkness, which was originally expected to open within ten days, suddenly opened on New Year's Eve.
In order not to cause more worries to his subjects, Sarlayan kept a steady pace and returned to the Lord's Mansion with Welles, and then accelerated his movements and began to recruit men.
After thousands of years, the Burning Legion has once again invaded Azeroth on a large scale. High-level officials from various countries who have long been mentally prepared will focus on the side of the Dark Portal.
But Sharlayan, who knows more inside information, cannot be like them. He needs to devote some of his energy to paying attention to Stratholme next door to Quel'Thalas.
Therefore, Sarlayan needs to allocate manpower reasonably.
It is true that the Scourge gradually grew and grew with his connivance, but this did not mean that Sharlayan would watch them snowball the undead army.
In the final analysis, the Scourge were just pawns used to attract the Burning Legion's attention, and their value was only until Ner'zhul's self-confidence grew and he began to openly defy the Burning Legion's orders.
By the way, with the active cooperation of Arthas himself, as early as August this year, he went to Northrend under Ner'zhul's remote guidance.
The pair of masters and servants, Arthas and Ner'zhul, deliberately avoided the surveillance of the Dreadlord and quietly took out Ner'zhul's magic sword Frostmourne that was buried in a secret location.
Although the Dreadlords always brag that the sister swords Frostmourne and Apocalypse were forged by themselves, in fact both swords were made by the Warden's masters.
Kil'jaeden gave Ner'zhul the Helm of Dominance and Frostmourne to Ner'zhul in the hope that he could use the power of these two artifacts to control the undead and allow them to better serve the Burning Legion.
To this end, he also specially arranged for several nathrezim to monitor Ner'zhul's every move.
Didn't the Dreadlord know that Ner'zhul had other plans in mind? Didn't he know that Ner'zhul secretly gave Frostmourne to Arthas?
Of course not, Ner'zhul's every move that he thought was hidden was under their secret surveillance, but the Dreadlords were happy to see it happen.
In the final analysis, the Nathrezim's real allegiance is not to the Burning Legion and Kil'jaeden. The orders of Emperor Denathrius are their top priority.
The clever Ner'zhul thought he had the Dreadlord under his control, but little did he know that he was the one being toyed with.
The nathrezim hid behind the scenes and watched happily as Ner'zhul stepped away from the Burning Legion and slid towards the Shadow Realm...or, in other words, the control of Denathrius and the Warden.
In this two-front operation, Sharlayan plans to personally take Stellagosa, Tinargosa and Onyxia to the front line of Nethergarde Keep.
Valeera, on the other hand, went to Stratholme with Jaina to closely monitor the movements of the Scourge, and was ready to cooperate with Kel'thugadri at any time to change the fate of the Scourge.
Originally, Sharlayan wanted to bring Jaina to the Cursed Land so that she could see the Burning Legion across the Star Sea with her own eyes, while leaving Stellagosa, who cooperated better with Valeera, to monitor the Scourge.
But Jaina offered to witness Arthas' end with her own eyes, in order to warn herself not to make stupid mistakes like him.
Jaina had no feelings for Arthas between men and women, but after all, they were both second-generation kings. Before the first-generation alliance fell apart, the two of them had attended many banquets with their respective fathers, and had a lot of contact during the period.
.
In Jaina's memory, although Arthas had a rather short temper, he was generally considered a kind person.
Watching Arthas fall into the abyss step by step with her own eyes, as a childhood playmate with a similar identity, Jaina still felt a little complicated.
As she said herself, she wanted to use Alsace's experience as a profound lesson to remind herself, and not to fall deeper and deeper into the temptations of others because of temporary anger like him.
Sarlayan maintains sufficient respect for all his partners. They are all people with independent thinking ability, not his vassals, and always respects their personal wishes.
Since Jaina wanted to stay and observe the Scourge's front line, Sharlayan simply changed the plan temporarily and instead brought Stellagosa to the front line of the Cursed Land.
The blue dragon sisters Tinagosa and Stellagosa are basically bound. Wherever the elder sisters go, little Tina will usually follow them.
They made an agreement with Valerajana, who was in charge of rear intelligence, to contact them at any time. Stellagosa and Tinagosa, who had already received permission from the Sun King, mobilized the energy of the Sunwell and opened a portal directly to the Watch Keep.
Before entering the portal, Sarlayan turned back to Yinasi and Julian, who were silently seeing them off with their arms folded, and said solemnly: "Father, mother, the territory will be temporarily handed over to your care. Please help me comfort the frightened citizens.
