Khadgar, Kel'Thuzad, and the mages of Dalaran are setting up a teleportation array. This is the first time that group teleportation has appeared in Azeroth, and sufficient preliminary preparations must be made.
The three-day preparation time was also shortened by twice that of sailing by sea.
Antonidas and his people are always monitoring the magic circuit of the teleportation array. This large-scale magic has evil energy involved in it, so the mages cannot be cautious.
In particular, Dalaran is an extremely open magical city-state. In addition to humans, there are also mages from other races, including goblin mages, so this confidentiality work must be done well.
"Grand Mage, the teleportation array has been set up. I think we can take that thing out."
After setting up the magic circle, Khadgar came to Antonidas. A look of embarrassment flashed across the face of the Kirin Tor chief, and he sighed.
"Okay, now that we've reached this point, can I still regret it? It's just that the power contained in that thing is too evil, and it must be recycled immediately after use."
The thing the two of them were talking about was the "Skull of Gul'dan". Group teleportation requires the collision of arcane magic and evil energy, and only the Skull of Gul'dan can provide such a large amount of evil energy.
"After this matter is over, I will definitely return the Skull of Gul'dan to Dalaran intact."
After receiving the Skull of Gul'dan, Khadgar, holding the Staff of the Guardian of Atiesh in one hand, looked at the empty eye sockets of the skull with evil light flashing from time to time, and felt a little emotional for a moment.
Gul'dan and Medivh, they are the executors who have brought great harm to the two worlds, and now the power of both of them is in their own hands.
'How should we use the power we have?'
With this question in his mind, Khadgar began the final arrangement of the teleportation array.
"Mage Khadgar, what should I do?"
Standing among the mages, Nogfogg seemed a little at a loss. When Lid sent him to deliver the message, he was ordered to follow Khadgar's command, but until now, no one has told him what to do.
"Mr. Nogfogg, just stand here and I will let you know what to do later."
Azeroth cannot use the Skull of Gul'dan forever. To use evil energy, it must find other ways. Some of the information brought by Noggenfogg was combined with his own research and given to Khadgar.
Provides some ideas.
Based on the energy of the Skull of Gul'dan, Khadgar will try to channel the evil power in Noggenfogg's body.
It was precisely because of the need to arrange a safe position for Noggenfogg in the teleportation array that Khadgar and the others had to modify the circuit of the teleportation array, which took a while.
Noggenfogg followed Khadgar's instructions and stood in a small circle in the teleportation array. When he stood firm, the light blue magic circuits around him flashed with light, and magic traces wrapped around his body.
Wrists and ankles.
This made Nogfogg feel a little flustered, and Kel'Thuzad comforted him softly.
"Please relax, these traces will not harm you."
Afterwards, Khadgar also placed the Skull of Gul'dan where it belonged, and the magic circuits around the Skull of Gul'dan suddenly lit up.
Nogfogg took a deep breath and relaxed under Kel'Thuzad's guidance. At this moment, he felt the connection between himself and the Skull of Gul'dan.
Khadgar and Kel'Thuzad carefully checked every detail of the magic circle, and then nodded to each other at the same time, indicating that there was no problem.
"Now we can invite each assistance team to enter the teleportation array."
Following Khadgar's notification, various assistance teams from the Alliance countries, including Wildhammer dwarves, Bronzebeard dwarves, dwarfs, high elves... all entered the teleportation array, and at this moment, the teleportation
At the edge of the square where the formation was located, there was a group of people who were hesitant to move forward.
The visitors were the team led by Drek'Thar, and people quickly noticed his presence.
For a time, all the assistance teams began to whisper among themselves, and Lothar quickly walked to Drek'Thar.
"Your Majesty Shaman Chief, what are you still hesitating about?"
Drek'Thar looked in the distance at the aid teams coming from all sides.
"Would they accept to fight alongside the orcs?"
The old orc said hesitantly that the orcs actively tried to integrate into Azeroth, which actually made the old orc feel a little timid.
"Your Excellency Shaman Chief, in the war against the Ner'zhul Horde and in the negotiations to restore peace to Gilneas, the Frostwolf clan has proven your character to Azeroth!
How can you hesitate at this time? When you stayed in Gorongas, which was about to collapse, you were not even afraid of death. Are you still afraid of possible misunderstandings now?"
Lothar's words shocked Drektar. The old orc was startled for a moment and then smiled.
"That's right. The Frostwolf clan has proven our character. We are here to help Protector Li De overcome the difficulties. How can we let down the expectations of our friends just because of a little timidity!"
After that, Drek'Thar led his team and walked into the teleportation array with their heads held high.
Along the way, although the assistance teams from all sides still had to point fingers at this team, no team stopped to stop them.
Khadgar, who was presiding over the magic circle, couldn't help laughing when he looked at the old orc with his head held high.
"It's too late for you to come. This array has already prepared a place for you."
Hearing Khadgar say this, Drek'Thar felt relieved.
"The teleportation has just begun! Kel'Thuzad, I leave it to you to lock the space coordinates of the Vast Sea Protector. I will guide the energy."
Among all the mages present, Kel'Thuzad has the closest relationship with the Protector of the Vast Sea, and it is he who can determine the spatial coordinates of the Protector of the Vast Sea most accurately.
The group teleportation array is presided over by two top mages, and the safety factor has also been greatly improved.
"Mr. Nogfogg, relax your spirit! Feel the presence of the Skull of Gul'dan and release the energy in your body to guide him."
At first, Noggenfogg's appearance in the teleportation array did not arouse the curiosity of many people. They just thought that he was taking this official of the Vast Sea Protector back along the way, but they saw Khadgar's operation at this time.
Interested people began to make associations in their minds: Could it be that this guy also masters evil energy? The Protector of Hanhai is also studying evil energy?
In a confusing situation where they couldn't see the future clearly, Li De and Khadgar made a bet.
They are destined to be unable to stop the expansion of evil energy in Kezan by Hotsand, so instead of waiting for that daring guy to make big news, it is better for them to take the initiative and continue to dominate the future world rules.
If evil is destined to enter the eyes of the public in Azeroth, then Noggenfogg's participation in group teleportation can be said to be the beginning of the next stage of history.
…
Watching this massive team disappear before his eyes, Antonidas had a very complicated expression. For Dalaran, this matter may be both an opportunity and a risk.
"Let's set off too, to assist the Protector of the Vast Sea and at the same time recover the Skull of Gul'dan."
Antonidas and Ansrem, through the single portal in Alterac, also embarked on the road to the Vast Sea Protector.
…
"Group teleportation is really possible!"
When the scene in front of them turned into a completely unfamiliar scene, the heads of each rescue team were all filled with horror, and they all had different thoughts for a while.
"Where is this place, Master Kel'Thuzad? You are more familiar with the Protector of the Vast Sea than we are. Can you introduce it to us?"
Khadgar looked at Noggenfogg, who was dizzy due to the teleportation and output of evil energy, and asked Kel'Thuzad helplessly.
Kel'Thuzad looked around and finally just shook his head.
"The Tanaris Desert where the Hanhai Protector is located is the largest desert in the world. Its area is about the same as the entire Khaz Modan. To be honest, I don't know where this place is without any reference."
"What? The territorial area of the Hanhai Protectorate is actually so large?!"
Magni Bronzebeard was startled by Kel'Thuzad's words. Khaz Modan was his territory, so he was more sensitive than others.
"Although Tanaris is large in area, its natural endowment is completely incomparable to that of Khaz Modan. I heard from Protector Li De that the actual land used by the Governor of Hanhai is less than one-tenth.
The Hanhai Protectorate is only located in the northern part of Tanaris, and the large land in the south is a forbidden area for life, and there are extremely dangerous forbidden places deep in the desert."
Kel'Thuzad explained with a smile at first, but then the expression on his face became serious.
Although after the transformation of the ancient city of Petra, Tanaris has been transformed from a pure desert into a sandy land for survival, but there are still unknown dangers deep in the desert.
"We must not wander around until we find out where we are! The supplies we brought are enough for us to last for how many days?!"
Mekkatorque, the great craftsman in charge of team logistics, said loudly that gnomes, like dwarves, are also a race keen on exploring, especially since some of the gnomes serve as the Protectors of the Vast Sea.
Therefore, through Ritzel Bronzebolt, Mekkatorque also learned some of the situation of the Vast Sea Protector. According to Ritzel, in the great desert of Tanaris, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to survive for a week.
Can't get out of the desert.
"It doesn't matter, leave the reconnaissance to us."
Kurdran Wildhammer patted his chest and said that with the group teleportation array this time, the Wildhammer dwarves could bring over organized flying troops.
For the Wildhammer dwarves, as long as the griffins are around, they are free and have nothing to fear.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Khadgar bowed and said to Kurdran. On the other side, Kel'Thuzad was pouring potion into Noggenfogg's mouth and using magic to sort out the energy in his body.
…
Kurdran took several griffin knights and circled into the sky, and griffins appeared for the first time in the sky of Tanaris.
Nearly two hours later, the Griffin Knight returned to the middle of the large army, and people noticed that Kurdran's face was very poor.
"what happens?"
As soon as they saw Kurdran's face, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Before Kurdran could speak, the gryphon knight beside him pointed in a direction, explaining on behalf of the leader.
"We found some really bad things in that direction. It was really nerve-wracking to see."
As a brother of the same clan, a bronzebeard dwarf couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you so concerned at this time?! What on earth did you see?!"
"Bugs! We saw bugs!"
A griffon knight said while suppressing his nausea.
"There is a large area of land there that has been corroded and is purple-red. It is full of bugs that are bigger than humans! There are so many of them so densely packed! There is a huge insect nest there!"
Listening to the descriptions of the gryphon knights, others couldn't help but feel their scalps numb. There were bugs as big as humans! There is no such terrifying thing in the Kingdom Continent! Although there are also giant spiders in the Kingdom Continent, there are also giant spiders in the Kingdom Continent.
It's only about the size of a millstone, but not as big as a human being!
Everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. They were treated like giant insects when they first arrived in Tanaris. Is the land where the Protector of the Vast Sea lives so ferocious?!
"How far are those bugs from here?"
Magni asked anxiously, and Kurdran calmed down.
"It's about a hundred kilometers away from us."
"I suggest staying away from those bugs! Don't expect the bugs that live in the desert to be vegetarian!
We have worked so hard to assist Protector Hanhai, but don’t let us all feed on the worms before we even see Protector Li De’s face.”
Magni said anxiously.
Lothar is a staunch ally of the Protector of the Vast Sea, not to mention that he himself also believes in the light of civilization. He has also heard a little about the insects in Tanaris, but this team is too big and he is the only one.
One mouth cannot explain to so many people.
"Marshal Lothar, how can the Protector of the Vast Sea coexist with such a terrifying thing?"
Drek'Thar asked Lothar curiously. He had always thought that all places in Azeroth were fertile and peaceful, but after arriving in Tanaris, he discovered that Azeroth also had Bigolunga.
Sri Lanka is still a barren place.
Hearing Drek'Thar ask this, Lothar laughed and explained in a higher tone.
"Everyone, please rest assured, I think we are not far from the Hanhai Protector now.
Speaking of which, when I first learned about this, I also marveled at the wonder of the Protector of the Hanhai Sea. Such a terrifying giant insect could actually create economic value if it fell into the hands of the Protector of the Hanhai Sea!"
The terrifying giant insect can actually create economic value. Such a strong contrast immediately aroused people's interest, and they asked Lothar to explain in detail.
"The Hanhai Protectorate will regularly eliminate some bugs and make those bugs into feed to feed the monitor lizards. The canned meat we can eat from the Hanhai Protectorate is made from monitor lizards fed with giant insect feed."
Hearing what Lothar said, everyone couldn't help but marvel. Only then did they understand how the barren Tanaris could have so much canned meat.
Everyone is not too opposed to using worms as feed. Even in the Kingdom Continent, there are delicacies made from spider legs, not to mention that canned meat is not directly eaten by worms.
"Then if that's the case, we'll be able to meet up with Protector Li De soon?"
Kurdran asked with a smile, but before Lothar could answer, Noggenfogg's scream came from behind.
"No! That's not the Nest of Corruption! That's the Great Rift!"
