Chapter 461 Loken: Its not me thats wrong! Its the world!
From the barrage's point of view, Loken is just a self-centered, middle-aged chuunibyou.
He was obviously involved in the relationship between Thorim and Sif as a third party, but he arrogantly believed that he was Sif's destiny, and in turn harbored a grudge against Thorim, Sif's original partner.
Loken arrogantly expressed to Sif many times that he wanted to make this relationship public, but every time he was severely opposed by Sif.
In order not to destroy the unity among the Guardians, Sif made a decisive decision to break off her relationship with Loken and sternly asked Loken never to see her again.
About to lose Sif forever, the jealous Loken went crazy. He tried to keep Sif by force, but accidentally struck too hard, causing Sif to die on the spot.
Everything that happened after Ulduar started from this.
Yogg-Saron finally found a gap to penetrate Ulduar. Under the inducement of the Thousand Maws transformed into Sif's soul, Loken fell deeper and deeper step by step.
Loken knew that his betrayal of the Pantheon would be discovered sooner or later, but he did not think that what he did was wrong. Instead, he blamed the mistakes on the rules of the world that led to the tragedy, and then hated Azeroth.
From Loken's point of view...why can't a third party take over in an open and honest manner?
[Ah... this is what the legend says is wrong, not me, but the world?]
[The concentration of the second grade is off the charts.]
[Even when he is about to die, he will drag the whole world into the water with him. It is unreasonable for this guy not to die a miserable death.]
Sarlayan traveled thousands of miles to come to Uldaman. His main purpose was to win over Azadas and bring the earth spirit factory of Uldaman under his control, so as to use the overwhelming earth spirits to deal with Loken's steel army.
After Azadas woke up, and with his permission, Brian rubbed his hands excitedly and started flipping through the Norgannon Disc.
This disc, which records a large number of ancient secrets, is undoubtedly an artifact for archaeologists.
Temporarily allowing Brian and his two assistants to call the records of the Norgannon disc under the supervision of the earth spirit, Azadas smiled bitterly and shook his head after listening to Sarlayan's idea: "The idea is good, but the actual execution is...
very difficult."
"In the same unit time, Uldaman's troop production efficiency is not as good as that of the Creator Engine and Nalaksha Engine."
"And there is another most important question."
Azadas sighed helplessly: "We lack energy. Without sufficient energy, everything is just empty talk."
Before falling into a deep sleep, Azadas squandered most of Uldaman's stored energy.
Without external energy replenishment, the Tuling Factory would not be able to produce many soldiers even if it was fully activated.
The dwarves and troggs who fled Ulduar after turning into flesh accounted for about 30% of the total number of earth spirits. Azadas roughly calculated that there are still about 200,000 earth spirits in existence.
Earthlings are not a dedicated fighting species among Titan creations, and they are definitely no match for the Iron Vrykul in one-on-one combat.
If you want to capture Ulduar, you must ensure that the total number of earth spirits is far higher than that of the iron army, and that they can continue to suppress the enemy until the army seizes the Creator Engine and removes Loken's sharpest minions.
The existing 200,000 earth spirits in Uldaman are obviously not enough, and the single type of soldiers can easily be targeted by the enemy.
"Um……"
Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered for a while: "In terms of energy, I have an idea, but it needs to be supported by the guardian authority of Azadas."
Azadas was not stupid, he quickly guessed what Sarlayan was thinking.
"You want to take down the Origin Forge to supply energy?"
Azadas shook his head and persuaded: "Give up. If any guardian with the authority could take over the Origin Forge, Loken would have taken advantage of it long ago."
"The Forge of Origin and the Engine of Nalaksha must use Raiden's authority to formally take over. Others cannot command the Tol'vir who guard around the Forge of Origin, nor can they make the four guardians guarding inside Uldum take orders."
The problem comes back again. If we want to ensure the diversity of the Titan creation troops attacking Storm Peaks and obtain sufficient energy supply, we must first obtain the supreme authority of the Great Guardian Leiden.
Before the Titans of the Pantheon left Azeroth, they appointed two guardians with the highest authority.
One is Odin, the chief administrator in charge of the military, and the other is the Great Guardian Raiden, who oversees all the guardians. Raiden is the dominant one among the two.
However, Raiden disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, and the guardians don't know where he went.
If Raiden was still here, it wouldn't be Loken's turn to stir up trouble in Ulduar.
[I still have to make a trip to Pandaria in the end...]
[Leiden, that eggless waste, if it weren’t for his weak willpower, how could Azeroth be in this situation today. 】
【It's all Lyden's fault!】
'Pandaria...'
While the Explorers Association was excavating ruins in the wasteland, Sarlayan had been paying attention to the war situation in Northrend.
To this day, the Iron Army still has no intention of joining the battle. It has been standing still outside the canyon at the junction of Crystalsong Forest and Storm Cliffs, looking far away from the high elf defenders on the other side of the canyon.
The Drakkari trolls could no longer hold back their commotion. They were eager to recapture Drak'saron Fortress and regain the initiative to invade Crystalsong Forest and Grizzly Hills again.
The high elves and greymaw furbolgs obviously would not sit back and let the trolls succeed. The coalition forces and the Drakkari fought fiercely near the outer city wall of Zul'Drak, and were temporarily evenly matched.
The Drakkari trolls had a numerical advantage, but the coalition forces guarded by the city wall did not allow the other side to take any advantage. The two sides continued to engage in a tug-of-war around the newly built city wall.
Zul'Drak's war has not affected the trade between the high elves and the Grizzly Maw Furbolgs. Marines from Kul Tiras have landed at Howling Fjord and have begun to clean up the predatory dragons near Valgard in an orderly manner.
Vrykul.
Previously, due to insufficient troops, Wagard had no room for expansion, so he had to do his best to defend the trade route to the north.
As the ambitious Daelin led an army back, Kul Tiras began to fully assess the possible threat posed by the dragonflayer vrykul in Howling Fjord.
During this process, Dai Lin, who personally led the army on the expedition, discovered something strange.
A majestic vrykul-style castle stands in the center of Howling Fjord, but the local dragonflayer vrykul hardly enter or leave the castle, as if there is some taboo here.
Daelin personally wrote a letter to Kael'thas, hoping that Quel'Thalas could share some of the information detected by the Backlight Blade with Kul Tiras.
However, the Backlight Blade doesn't know much more about Howling Fjord than Kul Tiras, and the high elves' main reconnaissance targets are in central and northern Northrend.
Not only the dragonflayer vrykul, but the recent appearance of the nerubin in Howling Fjord also worries Daelin.
Nowadays, the overall war situation in Northrend is relatively stable. As long as Loken's steel army does not join the battle, Sharlayan believes that Sylvanas can withstand the frost troll's attack.
But Loken cannot sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers all the time. He will definitely find a suitable time to enter the battlefield.
At that time, Quel'Thalas and Kul Tiras must have sufficient confidence to defend their defenses.
"How about this."
Sarlayan thought about it for a while and then gave his suggestion.
"I'm not sure whether Loken will send troops to Northrend. Once his Iron Legion moves south in a large scale, it will be difficult to stop it with the existing forces in Crystalsong Forest."
'Even if it can be blocked, the loss will be considerable, which is unacceptable to Quel'Thalas.'
Azadas asked knowingly: "You want to secretly transfer Uldaman's earth spirits to Northrend, and then play this trump card when the mortal soldiers can't defend it?"
Sarlayan nodded: "In order to avoid stimulating Loken to launch an army, I will not expose the existence of the earth spirit easily unless it is absolutely necessary."
Azadas agreed and said: "Wise decision, now we can't compete with Loken at the speed of the violent troops."
Topics related to Loken are over for now.
When Azadas learned that Sarlayan wanted to find Raiden, he unconsciously showed surprise.
"Lei? Do you know where he is?"
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally: "I have some guesses, but it's not that easy to find him."
"I also mentioned to Elonnaya before that in the history of the Mogu tribe, there was once an emperor who used the same thunder and lightning power as Raiden."
Sarlayan's eyes flashed: "The emperor's name is Thunder God, and he is the first unified king in the history of the Mogu tribe. I suspect that he knows where Raiden is and has usurped Raiden's power in some way.
