After seeing Neptulon with his own eyes, Sarlayan always felt that this old man's expression of the duality of elements was a bit... subtle?
The positive expression of water should be calmness, but as the king of the water element, Neptulon is a passionate and upright man, which made everyone present, including Sarlayan, feel a little weird.
But after all, this is just a personal personality deviation, and it is a proper positive feedback, as long as it does not affect the water element's fulfillment of its commitments.
According to the agreement between Sarlayan and Neptulon, the water element needs to assist the defenders of Azeroth to break through the Molten Core, defeat the Naga invaders who invade the territorial waters of the Dark Night Republic, and guard the sea of Azeroth for a long time.
, to resist the attack by N'Zoth's men.
In return, Sarlayan will find a way to summon the water elements headed by Neptulon from the Throat of the Abyss, the water elemental world that is isolated from the world, to Azeroth.
At this point in time, the catastrophe mentioned by the barrage has not yet occurred, and the barrier between the elemental world and the material world is still strong.
Except for Ragnaros, the Firelord, who took advantage of the loophole and entered Azeroth as a clone, few people knew how to bring the water elemental army from another plane to the material world.
Thanks to the many secret information provided by the barrage, Sarlayan learned the causes and consequences of Ragnaros's appearance in advance. After making a targeted plan in advance, he successfully obtained important elements from the Dark Iron Dwarves.
Summoning of the King.
After more than two months of emergency research and transformation by the Royal Arcane Society of Quel'Thalas, after more than 20,000 years, the tide hunter Neptulon finally returned to Azeroth in the form of a clone.
Since Sarlayan has fulfilled his promise without any compromise, Neptulon, as the king of the water element, who sticks to his word, will naturally not default on his debt.
The conditions for conquering the Molten Core have been met first, and the second requirement of the covenant is to assist the night elves in repelling the Naga army.
Neptulon waved his hand. Because his peripheral members of Hydraxia had been oppressed by Naga for a long time, Duke Hydraxis, who had long been angry, led more than 200 high-level water elements to rush out of the night elves.
underwater base.
The water element can exert its greatest strength in the sea. At the same level, the water element's combat effectiveness is by no means weaker than that of Naga, or even better.
After all, Naga is just a heretical species transformed by N'Zoth, and water elements are the native creatures of Azeroth that are naturally adapted to water warfare.
The high-level water elements led by Duke Hydraxis were very mobile and disappeared in the dark deep sea in the blink of an eye.
Sarlayan asked curiously: "Your Excellency Tide Hunter, where is Duke Hydraxis planning to go?"
"Ha~" Neptulon smiled confidently: "Although those who stay in Azeroth are only peripheral members of Hydraxia, they are still citizens of Hydraxis. That guy has always protected his shortcomings.
, now it is probably heading directly towards the retreating Naga."
Jarod was shocked when he heard this and questioned: "Only those 200 people? Counting the cannon fodder troops, there are tens of thousands of Nagas under Dorothy's command. This is too reckless..."
"Ha ha!"
Neptulon looked up to the sky and laughed indifferently: "You underestimate the water element lord's combat effectiveness at home."
"Just wait. If the Naga commander you are talking about does not raise his alert in time, Naga will definitely suffer a serious blow this time."
…
Water elements are extremely sensitive to water flow. The traces left by the Naga army that had just retreated were accurately captured by Duke Hydraxis. More than 200 water elements who were marching at full speed soon caught up with them.
The retreating Naga rear army.
Under the interference of Duke Hydraxis who disturbed the water flow, the Naga cannon fodder who was ordered to stay behind did not even notice that someone was chasing after him.
Duke Hydraxis, whose upper body was in human form, suddenly raised his hands, and without warning, set off a high-speed rotating waterspout in the depths of the sea.
The Naga rear formation was caught off guard and was trapped by a waterspout. Surrounded by her elite men, Dorothy, who was thinking about how to break the situation, heard the screams coming from behind and hurriedly turned around to check.
The increasingly larger waterspout enveloped thousands of cannon fodder Nagas, and was still expanding outward step by step, rapidly approaching Dorothy's Chinese army position.
"this……"
One of Dorothy's lieutenants was about to order a rescue, but Dorothy, who looked ugly, suddenly held his shoulder.
"It's too late, immediately let the soldiers who have not been affected speed up and evacuate!"
Fortunately, as the commander, Dorothy was sensible enough, and the real elite of Naga were not harmed.
But after losing thousands of cannon fodder at once, Dorothy, who had already retreated to safe waters, still felt a little painful.
The Nagas who are used as cannon fodder and the real Naga elites are not born through the same method.
A normal naga needs to be conceived for ten months by the mother, and there will only be one fertilized egg in a batch of eggs.
Sound familiar?
Yes, the production method of Naga is very similar to that of Dragon Clan.
As extraordinary creatures, the infertile eggs laid by dragons can also hatch into young dragons, but their potential is much lower than that of descendants born from fertilized eggs.
Nagas did not have this ability at the beginning, and the infertile eggs they gave birth to were unable to hatch into little Nagas.
The well-informed Queen Azshara referred to the experience of the Dragon Clan and used the magic technology that was very developed during the Dark Night Empire to build a special incubation nest, so that those infertile eggs can hatch into Naga larvae with the help of external forces.
.
However, these weak Nagas with inherent deficiencies were unable to grow to the height of normal Nagas, and over time they were used as cannon fodder in front of the Naga army to consume the enemy's forces when they went out to war.
Compared with those Naga elites trained by elite education, the cost of Naga cannon fodder is much lower.
But this infertile egg hatching technology has always been in the hands of Queen Azshara's direct subordinates. Before exposing her position, Dorothy drew tens of thousands of cannon fodder into her army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a complete break with Azshara, Dorothy will of course no longer receive relevant technical support.
In other words, the cannon fodder in her hands will become less and less with each use, and cannot be replenished.
If you ask your master N'zoth for help, you should be able to replenish some low-level faceless men who are also worthless.
But in underwater battles, the Faceless Men, who are also cannon fodder, are not as useful as Naga.
Dorothy, who had suffered heavy losses, no longer cared about whether it would be useful or not. The lack of troops on hand made her feel really unsure.
This wave of attacks undoubtedly came from the night elves, but Dorothy never saw where the enemy was from the beginning to the end. This was the most worrying and uneasy thing for her.
"Have those landlubbers found a new helper? Who will come to help them at this time?"
…
Although the defensive Duke Hydraxis was furious, he was not carried away by his anger.
After the initial victory was achieved, Duke Hydraxis, who had vented his anger, did not choose to pursue the victory.
After all, he only brought over 200 elites, and it was definitely not a wise choice to go head-to-head with Naga, who was already on high alert.
The waterspout that was still spinning rapidly in the sea completely changed its color, and a small area of sea centered on the waterspout was dyed an eye-catching bright red hue.
"Huh! Let's stop here for now."
Duke Hydraxis raised his hand to stop the continued efforts of his subordinates. Without the control of the water elements, the waterspout that lost power began to gradually slow down.
"Go back, we will still have the opportunity to continue to take revenge on Naga."
When the slowly decelerating waterspout finally stopped, no Naga corpses could be seen in the calm sea. Their bodies were cut into pieces by the high-speed rotating high-pressure water.
Dorothy, who had already retreated to a safe distance, looked at the messy water with a gloomy expression.
"Ask for help from the master immediately! It's best to send an additional legion. If not, at least send a group of faceless men!"
"yes!"
On the other side, when Sarlayan, Jarod and others heard about the glorious results of the battle that Duke Hydraxis used as a petition, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
"Killing thousands of Nagas so easily?"
Jarod slapped his forehead in disbelief: "What on earth have I been doing for more than a year..."
Sarlayan sighed and patted Jarod's shoulder gently: "With the cards you have in hand, it is not easy to delay Naga to this point."
"Fortunately, the hard days will eventually pass."
A smile appeared on Sarlayan's lips: "With the help of the water element, the situation will be very different."
"Garold, I am a layman in terms of battlefield command. I still leave the coordination of the coalition forces to you."
"Amateur?" Jarod rolled his eyes angrily: "You don't think that I can't receive intelligence from the Eastern Kingdom when I'm far away in Kalimdor, do you? The real hero behind the Battle of Alterac is also
Do you want me to name you?"
Sarlayan smiled nonchalantly: "That's not me directing the battle. I'm only responsible for the layout. The detailed operations are left to professionals."
"If you insist on saying that... okay, you also know that I never like to argue with others."
Jarod raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes became sharp.
"Having been unilaterally suppressed by Naga for such a long time, it's time for us to launch a counterattack."
