In the main timeline where Sharlayan is located, due to the long-term pursuit of Cho'gall by Yinas and Julian, the cult Twilight's Hammer under this guy did not develop and grow as quickly as it did in the original history, forming a trend of being too big to lose.
.
Long before the Second War of Quicksand officially started, the Twilight Hammer who gathered in large numbers in the Silithus Desert had suffered a round of heavy losses.
Strictly speaking, the Twilight's Hammer at that time was not a sect. They were the Twilight's Hammer clan brought from Draenor by the two-headed ogre Cho'gall, and were mainly composed of ogres and orcs.
The Twilight's Hammer clan was almost completely wiped out before and after the Second War of Quicksand. Under the guidance of Enzos, a handful of survivors reunited with Cho'gall, who was fleeing pursuit, and then began to establish the Twilight's Hammer Church.
prototype.
However, due to the continued suppression by the top leaders of various countries in Azeroth headed by Sarlayan, the Church of Twilight's Hammer has not been able to achieve any great success to this day, and can only hide in dark corners and quietly grow its followers.
Speaking of Cho'gall, Sarlayan was also speechless.
Except for the fashionable and inexperienced Sarlayan who was unable to prevent the quicksand war before it happened, this two-headed ogre full of dark thoughts has never been able to do anything big.
However, Cho'gall's ability to escape is no joke.
Julian is a senior espionage officer of the Backlight Blade and is very good at tracking enemies, while Yin Nas ensures the high-end combat effectiveness of this two-person team.
Unless big bosses like Deathwing, Azshara and the Incubus King personally take action, there are not many high-level combatants under Enzos who dare to say that they can defeat Yinnas, a very old ancient dragon.
Cho'gall was stunned to escape from the pursuit of this couple who cooperated well and had outstanding abilities. Although Enzos helped them, it was enough to illustrate Cho'gall's slickness and ability to save his life.
From a standpoint, the rebellious black dragon under Deathwing and Cho'gall are on the same side.
Sarlayan, who had a lot of information in hand, always felt that there was something wrong with the meeting place proposed by Nefarian this time, and that guy was most likely up to something bad.
"Mother, Aoni, we'd better be more vigilant when we go to this meeting."
"ah?"
When Onyxia lowered her head and looked thoughtful, Yinasi, who didn't think much, asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Nefarian can be trusted for the time being? Is it possible that he plans to set up an ambush to capture us?"
Does he have that ability?"
Nefarian is the top-level combat power in the Black Dragon Legion. Now that Saberian is dead, only Deathwing, the leader of the race, can stabilize him.
However, Sarlayan was led by Yinas, an ancient dragon with more seniority than Nefarian, and Onyxia, whose strength was not much worse than Nefarian's.
With the high-end combat power that Nefarian currently possesses, it is logically impossible for him to be hostile to the three of Sarlayan.
Sarlayan frowned slightly and said: "I can't say, the meeting place he chose is unusual. I suspect there is something fishy behind Nefarian's move."
Onyxia added thoughtfully: "Isn't that madman getting sick again and wants to take this opportunity to test the unique abilities of your perfect colorful dragon?"
"Logically speaking, it's not impossible." Sarlayan narrowed his eyes and raised a new question: "The question is, just like what mother said, where does he have the confidence?"
"Could it be..." Yin Nasi put forward a guess with a serious expression at this time: "I almost forgot to mention that before you guys came, I discovered some strange things while investigating the origin of the Twilight Dragon."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How do you say that?"
Yinasi shook her head: "I'm not sure what's going on, but in short, I found many members from various races in Azeroth all over Northeron, and they seem to belong to the same transnational organization.
"
"Transnational organization..." A cold light flashed in Sarlayan's eyes: "I probably know what's going on."
"Gurgal, that guy has disappeared for so many years, so he is waiting here."
"Um?"
Hearing this familiar name, Yina suddenly became interested.
"Cho'gall has come to Northeron too? Wait...what do you mean?"
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally: "There is still lack of sufficient evidence, and I can't guarantee it 100%."
"If the information I obtained is correct, the meeting place chosen by Nefarian is the place where the power of the void is most abundant in the Northeron region."
"If you were Enzos, would you give up this excellent frontline stronghold easily?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Onyxia's lips: "I understand, that Nefarian guy wants to eat two chickens, and it really fits his style."
…
Nefarian chose the meeting place to be west of the ruins of Dunward Village, in a deep mountain near the source of the Flamebeard River.
Since Dunward was captured by the Dragonmaw Orcs, the Wildhammer dwarves have almost completely lost control of the area, making it difficult even for intelligence agents who are good at infiltrating to insert themselves.
If you break through from the ground, you will most likely have to face a large number of Dragonmaw rear troops who have moved here to occupy the land.
Sandmar has made preparations for a full-scale counterattack. Both sides, who are about to start a decisive battle, have deployed the main force of their armies to the north and south banks of the Yansu River. The war is about to break out.
Since the Twilight Dragon's lair was destroyed by Yinnas, the Dragonmaw Orcs could no longer add new mounts, and the existing dragon knights in their hands were extremely precious.
Good steel must be on the blade, so Zuluhid transferred almost all the dragon knights to the frontline position of the Blood Splattered Valley, facing each other across the river from the gryphon knights of the Wildhammer dwarves, to contain each other.
After receiving the latest information on the front line from Serea Wildhammer, Sarlayan quickly formulated the most suitable route map.
After setting off from the village of Kuthhaven, Sarlayan planned to bypass the Sandmar front line in the direction of the Vermilion Sanctuary in the west of Notheron, and then suddenly turn south and cross the upper reaches of the Flamebeard River to reach his destination.
With the support of sufficient intelligence, the detour of the three Sarlayans was very smooth.
After crossing the mountain and entering the valley above the planned location, Sarlayan's transformed firebird temporarily gave up its intention to continue moving forward.
"This is really... there is no such thing as a good feast."
Dragons are very sensitive to energy fluctuations. Yinnas and Onyxia were both sitting on Sarlayan's back, and they all looked at the valley below.
"Such a strong power of the void." Onyxia asked with a solemn expression: "Should we continue to move forward? The front is undoubtedly the home of the ancient gods."
"They come, the security."
Sarlayan pointedly said: "Since Nefarian wants to eat two chickens, he will definitely not sit back and watch the situation become one-sided. This is not conducive to him making changes according to the situation after the situation is clear."
"That makes sense."
Yin Nasi twisted her neck and stretched her muscles, and asked Sarlayan eagerly: "What do you say now? Just break in and start fighting as planned?"
"It's not impossible. After all, the opponent has already actively expressed his intention to fight."
The eagle eye technique activated by Sarlayan captured several huge faceless men in the depths of the valley. Behind these faceless men, there was also a relatively "petite" two-headed ogre hiding behind them.
"Gol'gall, I want to see if you can escape this time."
As Sharlayan opened his wings and flapped his wings, Onyxia and Innes jumped out from his back to both sides, and in the next second they transformed into their respective dragon prototypes.
At the same time, Nefarian, who had been missing until now, also took off from the ground with three adult black dragons.
There was no verbal communication between the two parties. Sarlayan, who had transformed into the form of a golden dragon, took the lead in roaring and charging towards the enemy formation. The three of them, who had already discussed countermeasures through soul links, each found their own targets.
Onyxia ran directly towards her brother without any dodge. The two black dragon royals, who were similar in size, soon became entangled with each other, and they seemed to be fighting fiercely.
Yinasi folded her wings and swooped down towards the valley below, her target being a large number of faceless soldiers including Cho'gall.
Of course, Yin Nasi's main goal is to kill Cho'gall, who has been unable to catch him before.
This guy has become an obsession in the hearts of Yin Nasi and Julian. Finally, when they have the opportunity to avenge their shame, Yin Nasi will not let go of this opportunity.
Perhaps Nefarian had given the order in advance. The three adult black dragons following him did not disturb the reunion of the long-lost brother and sister. They formed a small team with clear goals and surrounded Sarlayan.
"Want to know the unique abilities of colorful dragons?"
Sarlayan glanced at Onyxia and Nefarian, who were obviously trying to fake the match: "Okay, I'll let you see enough, but don't let your jaw drop in shock!"
