Hela was one of the top witches among the vrykul before her soul was forcibly extracted by Odin.
After receiving the power of death given by the warden, Hela's strength has greatly improved, and she can even compete with top Titan guardians like Odin with powerful combat capabilities.
...Although there is a high probability of losing.
Hela is not a perfect hexagonal warrior, her weaknesses are very obvious.
In order to lock Odin in the Hall of Valor in the sky, Hela has been sitting in the Hades Abyss for tens of thousands of years.
Hell's Abyss is a special death subplane, anchored under the main world of Azeroth.
During her lifetime, Hela was a master of magic, especially good at opening up subspace.
According to the information provided by the barrage, the four elemental realms where the King of Elements is imprisoned were opened by Hela with the help of Odin.
Having been squatting in the dark and lonely abyss of Hades for thousands of years, Hela's will gradually became distorted by the erosion of time, and her hatred for Odin tortured her more and more crazily.
No matter how wise a person is, their intelligence will decline off a cliff once they fall into madness. This is the case with Malygos, and Hela is no exception.
Odin was sealed in ancient times, at least 15,000 years ago.
For such a long time, Hela, who had instigated a large number of Val'kyr to rebel, failed to take the opportunity to develop the power of Hades Abyss. She could only follow the Val'kyr who was loyal to Odin to make some scraps.
This was something that Sharlayan found difficult to understand. He suspected that Hela's brain was burned out by hatred, or that she simply didn't know how to strengthen a party's power.
Valajar and Kvaldir, who were loyal to Hela, combined were far inferior to Loken's steel army. It was the King of Wisdom who truly pushed Gou's life to the extreme.
Every corner of the Storm Peaks is filled with iron dwarves and iron vrykul. Once outsiders enter, they will be immediately discovered by these Loken spies.
In terms of intelligence control, Hella has done a very poor job.
A typical example happened not long ago. Vereesa and the others used a trick under Hela's nose to successfully recover the Eagle Spear that was left near Tidestream Port.
You know, Tidewatch Harbor is Kvaldir’s home base.
Even with the help of the vrykul loyal to Odin in Vardisdan, Kvaldir's defense of his base camp is far from adequate.
According to Crassus, there are only about ten dragons participating in the expedition this time, and they are all the future hope of the five-color dragon clan.
These young talents from the dragon tribe have successfully broken through the limits of mortals and become extraordinary creatures because of their talent in guarding the dragon tribe.
If it were one-on-one, no one among them could guarantee that they could defeat Hela.
However, this team sent by the Dragon Clan was not meant to challenge Hela alone. Once they entered into battle, they would naturally swarm in and deal with her as quickly as possible.
Senegos provided some information to Sharlayan.
If you want to enter the Hell Abyss and face Hela directly, you cannot open the space channel by brute force alone, you must use some special means.
"I heard that you have been in contact with Queen Brita of the Tide Defying Clan before?"
"Just in time, you can borrow the power of the Rune Mage of the Mie Tide Clan to cast spells on the altar in the deepest part of Hoswald and open the passage to the Hell Abyss."
"As for how to persuade the Mianchao clan to help..."
Senegos spread out his dragon claws and said, "It depends on your communication skills."
…
Compared to the dragons, Sharlayan and Valeela are more familiar with the situation in Stormheim.
It's still the same truth. As soon as Sharlayan, who has the aura of Bwonsamdi, enters Stormheim, he will immediately attract Hela's special attention.
The task of contacting the Tidestealer clan can only be left to Valeera and Stellagosa. After Sharlayan left the Blue Wing habitat, he planned to go to Suramar to wait for news.
Before sending the three of them off, Senegos gave a serious reminder.
"As far as I know, there is a special dragon clan living in Stormheim."
"They are the ancestral dragons that evolved after receiving Odin's blessing. They are called storm dragons by the locals. The top leaders of the storm dragons are as highly intelligent as the guardian dragons."
"When you are operating in Stormfjord, you will inevitably come into contact with the Storm Dragon."
"Be careful, these storm dragons who are loyal to Odin are not friendly towards the Guardian Dragon Clan."
"If it's not absolutely necessary, try not to show the dragon's attitude."
After leaving Azsuna, Stellagosa first sent Sharlayan to the gate of Shal'aran in Suramar, and then took Valeera all the way to Stormheim.
When they arrived near the crimson woodland at the junction of Suramar and Stormheim, Stellagosa remembered her grandfather's reminder, landed in advance, transformed back into human form, and walked into Stormheim with Valeera.
This is the second time Valeela has visited this place. Although she took a different route from Highmountain last time, she still has some understanding of the distribution of forces in Stormheim.
Generally speaking, there are only two larger forces in Stormheim, loyal to Odin and Hela respectively.
Hela has Kvaldir and Valarjar, and Odin also has the Tideskier Vrykul and the Storm Dragon.
However, since Odin has always been sealed in the Hall of Valor and cannot go out, the support he can provide to his men is limited. Hela's power still prevails in Stormheim.
The Miaochao clan is a large Vrykul clan with numerous hills inside, each occupying a territory.
Nominally, all the Tidestealer Vrykul are under the jurisdiction of Queen Bretta, but in fact many people are secretly making small moves behind her back, including Queen Bretta's four biological sons.
According to Valeera's understanding, the original Tidestealer King was the husband of Queen Bretta.
In order to seize power, their sons joined forces to betray and murder their father.
Since then, the Miaochao clan, which was originally relatively united, began to fall apart.
Queen Breta still sits in Hedashar, the largest settlement of the Tidestealer clan, and her four sons each lead their loyal subordinates to conquer each other for many years.
On the way to Hedashar, Valeera briefly explained the current situation of the Tidestealer vrykul to Stellagosa.
"Queen Brita still legally rules the Chao Mian Clan, but only legally."
"The only territories that can be directly controlled by Queen Brita are Hedashar and Vardisdan on the front line."
"The goal of our trip is to seek the help of Queen Britta to help her regain the rights scattered in the hands of her four sons as bargaining chips."
Bretta's four sons are Wodegar, Udgar, Agnor and Skovard.
Valeela could vaguely feel that Sarlayan was wary of the name Skovald, which also made her more wary of Skovald.
"Let's go, first go to Hedashar to meet Queen Britta and make a deal with her."
…
Returning to Shal'Alan again, Sarlayan found that Arcandor's appearance had undergone some changes compared to the last time he parted.
The Tree of Miracles, which is about to mature, has attracted many strange bugs containing magic. If ignored, these bugs will continue to absorb the arcane energy spilled from Arcandor, causing an imbalance of natural and arcane energy in the tree.
Farodin, who had learned a lesson once, did not step into the same trap again. He introduced a group of domesticated mana dragons from Suramar specifically to protect the grapevines.
These mana dragons will hunt the magic bugs that are close to Akandor, ensuring that Akandor's growth will not be affected by external factors.
Although Akandor has not yet grown branches, the energy contained within this miracle tree is getting larger and larger, and it very delicately maintains the balance between nature and arcana.
The growth of Arcandor can be said to be highly anticipated. Not only Farodin and Kael'thas, but Elisande also sent people to keep an eye on Shal'Alan's situation.
Faldorei Ambassador Shista is stationed here permanently, and the Moon Guards headed by Serana and Losius are also eagerly looking forward to it.
"Brother Sharlayan!"
Jaina, who hadn't seen each other for several months and had been studying with Kael'thas, rushed towards him for a hug without warning.
It is now 9 years since the Dark Gate, and the little princess Jaina, who was born 3 years before the Dark Gate, is about to turn 12 years old.
Her height has begun to grow at an accelerated pace, and the girl's figure has gradually become curvy.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, a branch of red... Ahem, this sentence is wrong.
Sarlayan didn't think much, he still smiled and rubbed Jaina's long golden hair.
"You have become a big girl, but you still love to act coquettishly."
"Hehe~"
Jaina stood up on her tiptoes and touched Sarlayan's big hand without taking it seriously: "Brother Sarlayan, you came here because you have something to do, right? How long will you stay in Shal'Alan this time?"
Sarlayan said apologetically: "It won't be long. As long as the people from Wyrmrest Temple arrive at Stormfjord, I will set off to join them."
"This time, we will completely eliminate the threat of Death God Hela."
