Chapter 725 The Spider Demon Lord is killed in battle
After hesitating for a while, with Valeera's kind words and persuasion, Vesina finally agreed to her request and served as the guide for Valeera and others to the capital of Azjol-Nerub.
As for whether she could see the king, Vesina, who was unsure, did not dare to make a guarantee.
Valeera wasn't worried about this, she just didn't want to wander around in the tunnels that extended in all directions.
As foreigners, when Sarlayan and others are walking through the tunnel, if there are no locals to guide the way, it will most likely turn into a troublesome situation that requires fighting all the way in.
This will obviously give Anub'arak a bad first impression, which will in turn affect the subsequent negotiation process.
With Onyxia, a humanoid dragon, following her, the refugees selected by Vesina to join the leading team were all honest and did not dare to make mistakes.
I have to say that having a local who is familiar with the local conditions as a guide really saves a lot of trouble.
Among the people chosen by Vesina, one happened to be the son of a border lord whose territory was destroyed by the undead plague.
A lord who lost his territory was like a fallen phoenix, unable to hold his head high in front of other nobles.
But that being said, the lord's son is still a member of the nobility after all.
Even if the family is doomed to decline in the future, at least no one is taking advantage of it now, and they can still use their identity and connections to make it easier for Sarlayan and others to meet the king.
The lord's son was named Polva, and he originally planned to escape to the surface to redefine a territory and revive his family.
But now it seems that... the ground is no safer than underground. When he was leading the way, he would turn around from time to time and look at Onyxia secretly with fearful eyes.
Before going deep underground, Sarlayan and Azoregus discussed the handover issue.
Azoregos did not want to follow Sharlayan and his group into the underground cave. He volunteered to stay on the ground to monitor the nerubian refugees, and by the way, informed Karen of the situation here who was in Wyrmrest Temple.
As the dragon of the earth, Onyxia has no objection to going deep underground, but has an inexplicable affinity for it.
If the 500 Faldorei guards on the way cannot protect Sharlayan's safety, Onyxia is the last insurance.
While following Vesina, Polva and others deep into the ground, Onyxia felt the activated earth element hidden in the soil.
The Stone Mother Therazane was sealed to the Deep Rock Continent in the Earth Elemental Realm by the Titan Guardians tens of thousands of years ago, and the free Earth Elementals in Azeroth have been leaderless for many years.
The black dragon clan controls the power of the earth and has a high affinity for the earth element.
Without the interference of high-level earth elements such as Therazane, Onyxia can command the earth elements within a certain range to fight for herself.
This natural ability of hers can work better in an environment deep underground where the elemental power of earth is active.
After learning about Onyxia's condition through the soul link channel, Thalayan felt more confident.
But at the same time, Onyxia also reported bad news.
"The soil around Azjol-Nerub is very 'clean' and is not mixed with those messy powers, but the layer below..."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows: "The ancient kingdom of Ankhet?"
Onyxia nodded: "That's right. There is a strong aura of void power there, and the surrounding earth elements are complaining to me about the erosion and pollution of the earth by the void power."
"The deeper you go underground, the more serious this pollution becomes."
"Um……"
Sarlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Is it the prison that seals Yogg-Saron's body?"
As early as thousands of years ago, the roots of the world tree Andrassil had touched Yogg-Saron's sealed cage deep underground.
After being eroded by the power of the ancient gods, Andrassil became a huge source of pollution, and Fandral Staghelm had to reluctantly cut down the world tree.
To this day, the remains of Andrassil still lie in the Grizzly Hills, known as Vordrassil, the Broken Crown.
Sharlayan didn't want to rush into meeting Yogg-Saron without being prepared, and Onyxia's reminder made him more vigilant.
Extreme caution must be exercised when exploring Ankhet so as not to attract the attention and "care" of Yogg-Saron.
According to Danmu, the Kingdom of Azjol-Nerub in the game has long been destroyed, and the underground city they saw has been in ruins, which is just the tip of the iceberg of the heyday of the entire kingdom.
Sarlayan, who went all the way deep underground, confirmed the barrage's statement.
Along the way, he passed no less than 10 villages and towns, and saw the unique Nerubian-style buildings underground.
However, Sarlayan and others seemed to have arrived at the wrong time. When they arrived at the satellite town near the capital, an atmosphere of panic was sweeping the entire town.
"General Anub'rakhan was killed! He was transformed by the undead into a powerful enemy and is attacking our defense line crazily!"
"Ajjol-Nerub is doomed! Let's run away!"
The capital and satellite towns far behind the battlefield all looked like this. Sarlayan could not imagine how bad the situation on the front line was.
After Vesina's translation, Sarlayan tapped his temple with his finger: "Anub'Rekan? The one who is so stupid came to educate himself."
【I am big! Let me come!】
[Anub'rakan is the chief general of the Kingdom of Azjol Nerub and one of the powerful crypt lords. He comes from the same family as King Anub'arak and is called the Nerubian Lord by the Nerub people. 】
[Since even Anub'rakhan has been killed, it means that the situation on the front line is very unoptimistic, and the morale of the Nerubian army is likely to collapse. ]
"Tsk~" Sarlayan smacked his lips a little irritably: "Are you still a little late? Forget it, I can't control that much."
"Hista, are you there?"
"Yes."
A head suddenly popped out of the soil next to Sarlayan, startling Vesina, Polva and other leading party.
Valeela and Stella Gossa calmly waved hello to Shista, whose body was still half in the soil.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Due to the staggered work between them, they have not seen Shista for several years.
After receiving Sarlayan's approval, Shista emerged from the soil, and her six legs made a crisp "ding" sound when they landed on the bluestone floor.
Faldorei's Spider-Man form is very similar to the Nerubian, especially the lower body.
However, Faldorei, whose upper body is in the shape of an elf, is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of high elves.
Shista was the young Faldorei whom Sharlayan, Valeela and others rescued from the Withered in Suramar. Her father was a high-ranking Faldorei and the right-hand man of Spider Queen Justina.
During the attack by the Withered, Sista unfortunately lost both of her legs. Afterwards, Sharlayan had two metal prostheses installed for her.
After the situation in Suramar calmed down, Sista stayed in Shal'Alan and served as ambassador for more than a year, responsible for mediating the relations between the three parties.
After learning that Spider Queen Justina planned to deploy a group of elite Faldorei to guard Sarlayan, Shista, who had always wanted to repay her kindness to Sarlayan, volunteered to join the team and became the leader of this 500-man elite force.
Supreme Commander.
Since Shista, as the commander, has rushed to Sarlayan, it means that all the Faldorei under her are waiting in the nearby soil, and they can all appear with a single order.
Vesina tilted her head and looked at Shista's two metal prosthetics thoughtfully.
"It's you! I remember you!"
"oh?"
Sarlayan gestured to Shista with doubtful eyes: "What's going on? Do you know each other?"
Shista shook her head: "The Nerub buggers all look similar to me. I can't tell who is who."
"Uh~"
The corner of Sharlayan's mouth twitched, and the shoulders of Valeera, Stellagosa, and Onyxia twitched a little, and the four of them tried not to laugh out loud.
'What a hell joke...you should say it in front of others, this child's emotional intelligence still needs to be improved.'
As expected, Vesina, who could understand Elvish, was obviously a little embarrassed.
"You may not remember, but your battle with the undead outside Sabry Town gave me enough time to escape, which indirectly saved my life."
"Sabri Town?"
Shista shook her head blankly: "Sorry, I can't understand your language, nor can I understand your writing. I don't know where the Sabri town you are talking about is."
"We occasionally encounter the undead when we are active underground, and we fight them not once or twice. I can't remember which time you are talking about."
"this……"
Vesina looked a little frustrated: "In short, you are my savior, and I will find a way to repay you."
Shista waved her hand indifferently: "You don't need to thank me. If you want, just thank Sarlayan. We are operating underground under his orders to monitor...the movements of the undead."
Sarlayan breathed a sigh of relief: 'At least this kid didn't say anything about monitoring the Nerub buggers...'
