Noggenfogg's scream startled everyone, and they all looked at the goblin who had just recovered.
"Mr. Nogfogg, what is going on?"
Khadgar could clearly feel the other person's nervousness and signaled him not to rush and speak slowly.
Noggenfogg knelt down, took out a map of Tanaris and spread it on the ground.
"There are two insect nests in the Tanaris Desert, one is the Corruption Nest in the west, and the other is the Great Rift in the south.
The Corruption Nest is adjacent to the Quicksand Post outside Zul'Farrak. If the leader of Kurdran and the others saw the Corruption Nest, they would definitely be able to discover the nearby monitor lizard farm.
But they didn't find any settlements near the insect nest, so what they saw must be a big crack.
Of these two insect nests, the Corruption Nest is relatively smaller, and the insects living in it are much easier to deal with, so we have the ability to hunt giant insects and use them as fodder for the giant lizards.
But the bugs in the Great Rift are different. They live in the depths of the desert. They are extremely violent and terrifying. They are much more dangerous than the Nest of Corruption. Even we are incapable of destroying them!
In the early days of building the Hanhai Protectorate, when we were exploring the southern part of the desert, we suffered a lot from these insects. This is why we only operated in the northern part of Tanaris.
Being separated by a whole desert is the best natural barrier, but now so many of us appear near the insect nest, if those insects notice us, we will definitely be in a hard fight!"
After hearing Nogfogg's words, some people felt nervous subconsciously, but under the organization of Lothar and Khadgar, the team quickly calmed down.
Yes, this rescue team can be said to have gathered the elite forces of the entire kingdom and continent, with a group of the best commanders leading them.
Even if those bugs are really fierce, they are not that fragile.
"Get away from here as soon as possible, so that we don't have to encounter those bugs. Leader of Kurdran, please take the gryphon knights to be vigilant in the sky, and the rest of the ground troops should not relax their vigilance.
Noggenfogg, it's great that you have a map with you. Based on the location of the big rift, we can determine the direction and join Li De and the others."
Lothar was in the middle making arrangements, and the large army quickly planned an action route and headed in the direction of the Hanhai Protector.
While marching, Drek'Thar ordered his entourage to remain vigilant at all times.
"I thought it was the discomfort caused by the teleportation, but now I am sure that the elements here are out of balance to such an exaggerated degree that I almost vomited.
You should also be careful. No matter how serious the imbalance of elements is, we must not forget the shaman's duty and pay attention to changes in the surrounding environment. There are many unknown dangers hidden in the desert."
The march went on for several hours, and the gryphon troops in the air did not notice anything unusual. However, as Drektal expected, the shamans of the Frostwolf clan smelled danger.
"There is a threat approaching us from underground! Everyone, be careful!"
Drek'Thar immediately issued a warning, but many people in the rescue team were skeptical. They could not fully believe these orcs yet.
But at this moment, a pair of big jaws suddenly stretched out from under the feet of a soldier!
The insect's jaws instantly pierced the soldier's leg, and then the soldier screamed and was hung upside down. A beetle as tall as two people broke out of the ground, stretched out the two pairs of claws in front, and tried to kill the soldier.
Dismemberment!
Just when the soldier was about to die, a fire magic struck the giant insect from the air! The giant insect was scorched directly, and the soldier with seriously injured legs fell to the ground. Although the blood continued to flow, he finally picked it up.
Saved a life.
"Thank you, Mage Kel'Thuzad."
The soldier said with a pale face, and Kel'Thuzad nodded.
"Priest, come quickly and treat him. We seem to be marching faster. There are already bugs chasing us. Minister Nogfogg, is this the giant bug in the gap?"
The priest in the team went to treat the soldiers, while Noggenfogg approached the burnt black insect corpse. After identifying it, he nodded.
"That's right, this is the giant silithid scorpion in the Great Rift. We can't stay here any longer."
The marching speed began to speed up, and on the way, insects continued to emerge from the ground to attack the team. However, what is amazing is that the orc shamans could accurately warn each time, so these scattered attacks did not occur.
It did not cause too many casualties to the team.
After several successful warnings, everyone gradually became able to accept the orc shaman.
After everyone got to know each other, they were no longer restrained. There were tens of thousands of people in the rescue team, but there were only twenty shamans from the Frostwolf clan. If they were all gathered together, it would be difficult to take care of the entire team.
So Drek'Thar proposed to disperse the shamans throughout the team. This proposal was recognized by others, not only the shamans, but also the mages and priests.
The team's security had been improved, but Kel'Thuzad noticed that the expression on Nogfogg's face was becoming more and more serious.
"Is there anything wrong with this arrangement?"
After hearing the other party's question, Noggenfogg came back to his senses.
"No, there is nothing wrong with the personnel arrangement. I just think the behavior of those bugs is a bit abnormal. Although the bugs in the big gap are violent, they will never chase them so far out of the nest. There is something wrong with these bugs."
Just when Nogfogg expressed his worries, Kurdran in the sky also noticed the situation.
"In the air ahead! I found a swarm of flying insects!"
"It's a flying silithid! There are flying units inside the bugs! I should have thought of it earlier! They attack from underground and interfere with our march! And their flying units come around to intercept us! Damn it! How can these bugs be so smart?
!”
Nogfogg cursed angrily, but Khadgar looked at it with open eyes.
"The way our army walks on two legs is no faster than the wings of insects. They sincerely want to intercept us, but they will succeed no matter what.
Since this battle cannot be avoided, it is useless for us to say anything, we can only fight!"
The elite rescue teams from all over the world are not afraid of the battle they are about to encounter. Since the battle is inevitable, they can only end the battle as quickly as possible without delaying too much rescue time.
…
As for the Protector of the Vast Sea, since the arrival of the shamans from the Ring of the Earth, some elements have begun to calm down. Under the guidance of the shamans, they have either returned to nature or returned to the elemental plane.
However, compared with the entire elemental force that invaded the Hanhai Protectorate, the small number guided by the shamans was just a drop in the bucket.
Although Li De was still a little anxious, he finally saw the light. The Ring of the Earth proved that the elements could be guided.
Just on the front line of the deep sand plain, the old shaman Munn Earthfury placed the totem pole in front of him, his eyes closed tightly, his hands flashing with magic light, and arcs of electricity flashed around him from time to time. His red beard and hair
There is no wind blowing, and it looks extremely mysterious and powerful.
Along with his spell, everyone can feel the vague attraction exerted by the ancient city of Petra. Some small particles of dust and sand on the land float towards the direction of the ancient city of Petra.
Flying away, the frequency of fire elemental troops appearing has also been reduced.
Munn Earth's Wrath and the Fire Elemental had been in a spiritual stalemate for a whole day. After the day passed, the old shaman was already out of breath from exhaustion. When he opened his eyes and saw Li De with a face full of hope, he shook his head helplessly.
Shake his head.
"I am ashamed that the fire element is resisting my guidance. Behind these fire elements, there is a powerful fire element life driving them, causing them to ignore my guidance.
If you want to completely quell the fire element, you must cut off that powerful life form's mental control over the fire element."
When Mu En said this, the people in the Hanhai Protectorate all asked curiously.
"Who are the powerful life forms you are talking about? On the night of the elemental riot, Master Chen killed an elemental who claimed to be the adjutant of the Fire Demon King. Could it be that the Fire Demon King is our enemy?"
Hearing what Haggard said, Mu En's expression suddenly changed. He recalled the Pandaren called Master Chen. The Soul Walkers had a very high opinion of him. He didn't expect that the Pandaren Monk would be like this.
powerful.
"It is possible that the plane cracks here are not enough to allow too many powerful elemental creatures to pass through. The Fire Demon King's adjutant should have reached the limit of being able to pass through the gap.
If the opponent is the Fire Demon King, it does have the ability to control so many fire elements and continuously invade the real world through gaps.
The weaker the individual's strength, the easier it is to be controlled by the Fire Demon King.
It seems that after his adjutant was killed, the Fire Demon King changed his strategy. He knew that before he could project elements more powerful than his adjutant, powerful individuals would only be killed and would not be able to influence the real-world battle situation. Stability
The delivery is relatively weak, but forming an organized elemental force is the most reasonable strategy.
Its strategy was indeed successful. The opponent was a massive element, and even I couldn't cut off its spiritual connection with all the elements at once.
As long as all spiritual connections cannot be cut off at once, elements will still invade the real world, and elemental creatures are more intelligent than I imagined."
When he said this, Munn Earthfury also felt a little headache.
The shamans of the Earth Ring are best at interpreting elemental changes and naturally guiding elemental energy back to the cycle, but they have certain shortcomings in soul communication.
Their communication with the elements can only understand some simple meanings of each other. Only advanced elements can simulate the language of the mortal world, so most elements still cannot have a true "conversation" with the shamans.
"In other words, for the fire elemental army that appeared in the ancient city of Petra, we can still only use military means to solve the problem?"
Li De reluctantly came to a conclusion, and Mu En reluctantly gave the answer.
"That's the current situation, and we are also looking for ways to solve the problem."
Although this answer is not satisfactory, the commanders of the Hanhai Protectorate are very satisfied that the current situation can be maintained. At least except for the deep sand plain battlefield, the Hanhai Protectorate does not have to worry about the dangers of the elements in other places.
The first thing to calm down was the water element. In the direction of Qingquan Plain, Soul Walker and several shamans assisted Martin Lei in successfully calming the water element there.
When the soul walker shook the lantern in his hand, all the water elements wandering around stopped and looked at the lantern in the soul walker's hand.
At this time, the shamans began to place totem poles on the ground. For each element, the shamans had different totem poles.
A group of shamans poured energy into the totem pole. This energy passed through the totem pole and turned into trickles. These water flows were suspended in the air, weaving a water network in the air like strips. This
The water elements also raised their arms to share their energy with the water network.
The elemental energy in the water element's body was agitated and was guided, changing from manic disorder to order.
The channeled and orderly elemental energy was re-infused back into the body of the water element, and then those elements either gradually dissipated and returned to nature, or moved towards the seaside, and finally disappeared into the sea.
…
After the Qingquan Plain, there is the earth element in the direction of Zul'Farrak. When calm has returned to the area under the jurisdiction of the Hanhai Protector, Li De can mobilize more troops and concentrate them in the direction of the deep sand plain, preparing to start a battle with the fire element.
A decisive battle.
"Since there is no way to solve the problem through peaceful means, we can only use force to eliminate as many fire elements as possible. I believe you will find a way."
Li De said this to Muun Wrath of the Earth.
The old tauren shaman is also doing as much homework as possible. With a better understanding of the Vast Sea Protector, the old shaman believes that the riot of the fire element has never been quelled, which may also be related to the special characteristics of the ancient city of Petra.
"I agree with your point of view. Only by eliminating as many fire elements as possible can we enter the ancient city of Petra before the fire elements have replenished their forces. I think that by entering the ancient city of Petra to check the situation, we may be able to find an opportunity to solve the problem.
."
Mu En's words touched Li De. The cause of all this came from the ancient city of Petra. Maybe the answer can really be found there.
While Li De was thinking about this matter, Antonidas and Ansrem came to the Hanhai Protector.
Li De, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received help. What made him a little strange was why there were only two great magisters. But once they were invited to the military camp, all questions would be answered.
"Grand Magister, thank you for coming. Seeing you makes me more confident to win this war with the elements."
Antonidas noticed something strange in Li De's demeanor. At this time, the two great magisters looked around the military camp, but did not see any familiar faces.
"Protector Li De, hasn't the large rescue team led by Khadgar arrived yet?"
Antonidas' words made Li De a little surprised.
"What, Master Khadgar and the others have already set off?"
These words made the Chief Magician's heart skip a beat, and the old man murmured to himself.
"You can't just believe that evil energy is correct. Something went wrong."
Antonidas's appearance made Li De a little uneasy, so he asked quickly.
"Great Mage, what happened?"
"Khadgar and the others set out before me and Ansrem. They should have arrived before us, but now it seems that they are missing."
