The residents of Quicksand Town carried all their belongings and set foot on the road to Zul'Farrak. As the third largest city in the Hanhai Protectorate, there is a quite large altar of Loa. The power of belief in Loa and the light of civilization protects the entire city.
It is a city, and people are safe as long as they enter the city.
Old Chen stood on the stone platform by the roadside with anxious eyes. Although he had successfully persuaded the people to leave in an orderly manner in the shortest possible time, the intuition of a strong and heroic man told him that time was really running out.
It was already approaching dusk, and Lao Chen clearly heard that some residents were still complaining about the night journey ahead.
At this time, Rebulat Earthbreaker walked up to Chen Stormstout and whispered with a solemn expression.
"Commander, I must tell you very seriously that after investigation by myself and another shaman, almost the entire town has been hollowed out! According to my prediction, the enemy will launch an attack soon!"
Lao Chen did not speak, but tightened his grip on the fixed sword. He was ready for a life-and-death fight.
…
At the same time, in the elemental plane, Ragnaros, who had returned to the Molten Core, fell into extreme rage. Without waiting for a moment, he led his elemental army toward the Stone Mother's domain, Deep Rock.
Zhou killed him.
"Thera Zane! Get out of here! You must give me an explanation for this!"
Even across the barriers between the elemental kingdoms, the roar of the Fire Demon King spread throughout the Deep Rock Continent, and all the earth elements that disturbed the place were terrified.
However, they were all calmed down soon. Stonemother Therazane did not evade any, and brought her personal guards to the edge of Deep Rock Continent to confront the Balrog.
"Ragnaros, go back to your territory, now!"
The Balrog waved the heavy hammer in his hand.
"Therazane, you treacherous fellow! It was you who disrupted my plan! If it weren't for your power, those mortals would never have been able to resist me!"
Shi Mu didn't bother to pay attention to his questions.
"Didn't I follow my agreement with you and create a big earthquake? As for what other consequences it caused, what does it have to do with me? If you are sensible, just get out of here. I don't need to hold you accountable for your rudeness. You have to remember that the elemental position
You are not the only one here, and this is not a place where you can do whatever you want."
"What did you say?!"
Therazane's words aroused Ragnaros' fear, which was precisely what he was most worried about. He had a hunch that this time it was not just Therazane who was premeditated to sabotage his plan, but the other three elemental lords who conspired to do so.
Dealing with him!
Even as arrogant as the Firelord, it was impossible to fight against the other three elemental lords alone, so Ragnaros chose to endure.
"Hmph, I count you lucky this time. I will never let you go like this next time."
After saying harsh words, Ragnaros reluctantly chose to retreat. The Stone Mother looked at Ragnaros's back and smiled contemptuously. After returning to the throne, she did not fall asleep as usual, but instead activated two summoning spells.
However, after the spell was cast, only one projection appeared in front of her. Apparently another object did not respond to her call.
The one who appears in the projection is none other than the Water Elemental Lord Tidehunter Neptulon.
"Therazane, my compatriot, it seems that our plan has been successfully accomplished."
Therazane replied with a smile.
"Yes, my countrymen, Ragnaros's crazy plan failed."
Neptulon turned around and saw that he was the only projection, and asked a little strangely.
"Where is Al'Akir? Why didn't he respond to your call?"
Therazane was not surprised by this.
"Al'Akir is a pretentious guy. He has never disdained to have close contact with us. He can agree to cooperate with us this time because he doesn't want to see Ragnaros' family dominate. In addition to this, in the overall situation
Come on, I don’t think he intends to stand with us.”
Hearing what Stone Mother said, Tide Hunter seemed a little disappointed.
"Does he still plan to continue to fall? During the long years in the Throat of the Abyss, I have figured out many things. Mortals have infinite possibilities. If we fight side by side with mortals in the future, we will definitely be able to defeat the ancient gods.
The humiliation of our past.”
Therazane deeply agreed with Neptulon's words.
"It is under the guidance of mortals that our power can defeat Ragnaros so neatly. I think it is necessary for me to deepen my connection with those children in the future."
"Yes, I also feel that there is a young and abundant force on the earth, and this force is very close to us."
However, despite their joy, the two elemental lords also had a hidden worry.
"Al'Akir's current attitude is unclear, but Ragnaros is definitely truly crazy. Although he never showed it in front of me, I bet that he has made contact with the unspeakable evil again. On the ground,
Our old enemies are restless again. I wonder if those mortals can meet this challenge."
"Have some faith in them, Therazane."
…
The Stone Mother's guess was absolutely correct. After returning to his own domain, the Molten Core, the Balrog summoned his only remaining lieutenant, Baron Geddon.
"What about that loser Gal?"
"Tell my Lord, Gal is still in the process of being resurrected."
"That fool, if he hadn't lost to a mere mortal, our plan would never have gone so smoothly. Now we can only hope that the omnipotent Allah, if his army can sweep away those ridiculous mortals, we can still return to reality.
world."
When Ragnaros said this, Gadon knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to speak. The master above his master was an indescribable existence to him.
And the "omnipotent God" in Ragnaros's mouth is currently brewing a huge conspiracy underground in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj south of Silithus on the southwestern edge of the Kalimdor continent.
Although C'Thun, the Thousand-Eyed Demon, had suffered setbacks from Li De before, as long as there is a shadow in the corner, he will have his eyes. Regarding the gathering of the insect swarm army in Tanaris at this moment, C'Thun expressed great satisfaction.
satisfy.
"Ragnaros did something. Without the elemental army to disrupt the situation and attract firepower, the swarm would not have been able to gather so quietly."
In the underground temple hall, the light and shadow of the floating eyeballs blinked rhythmically, accompanied by C'Thun's distorted voice echoing in the hall.
Serving C'Thun are two giant-sized bugs. They are the twin emperors of the Ahn'Qiraj bugs: Emperor Vek'nilas and Emperor Veklor.
Different from ordinary Zerg, the Twin Emperors have humanoid limbs, and other appendages are integrated in invisible places. They have a lifespan that is far longer than that of their peers. The quicksand battle a thousand years ago sealed them underground.
"Praise be to my omnipotent Thousand-Eyed God. Our subordinates Hazari and Sentipal, who were exiled thousands of years ago, are still willing to serve us. Their troops have been assembled and will obey your orders at any time."
C'Thun cast an admiring look at the Twin Emperors, which alone made the Twin Emperors extremely useful. The Thousand-Eyed Demon indeed valued them, and valued them more than Ragnaros. Although they did not have Ragnaros.
Powerful, but much more loyal than the elemental lord.
Among all the minions under his command, apart from the Faceless Men, the Ancient God trusted the Zerg the most. As for the Titan creations he corrupted: Anubisas, they were treated purely as consumables.
"Act according to my will. This time I will make that arrogant mortal surrender completely."
…
Before the residents' team had completely withdrawn from Liusha Town, Lao Chen keenly caught a rustling sound coming from the ground.
“Chi chi chi chi chi!!!!”
What followed was a piercing cry that everyone heard, and then there was a crackling sound as the ground cracked. Looking along the cracks, you could see densely packed insect heads. The sight made people's hair stand on end.
"Separate! Retreat! Get out of the town!"
Lao Chen shouted loudly, and at the same time, he waved the sword in his hand, and the bright cold light flashed, as if a bright lamp was lit under the already dark sky.
The sudden change caused the relaxed residents to panic instantly, but fortunately, the soldiers in the first column were a group of the best soldiers. Under the leadership of Ashkandi, they still maintained order in an orderly manner and accelerated along the main road.
The underground bugs crowded up along the cracks in the ground like a wave. Lao Chen led a group of the most elite soldiers to kill the bugs without hesitation, while loudly giving instructions to Rebrat.
"Shaman! Stop the extension of the cracks in the ground! Ensure the safe evacuation of civilians!"
In fact, Rebulat Earthbreaker had already done this with another shaman without Chen Stormstout's order.
However, even though the two shamans tried their best, they still had little effect. During the excavation process, the insect swarm actually dug out the earth veins in this area. At this time, the earth completely broke along the texture of the stratum, just like wood following the texture.
How could the two shamans reverse the split?
The swarm of insects became more and more powerful, and the scale of the landslides in the town became larger and larger. The large warehouses storing supplies were submerged underground in just an instant, and other houses were swallowed up by the cracks in the earth one after another.
Seeing this scene, Old Chen was frightened but also felt a little lucky. Thanks to his strong push to evacuate, otherwise he would have been dragged underground by the insect swarm, and the entire town would have been swallowed up in an instant. Even if he sacrificed his life, there would be nothing he could do.
The insect swarm's attack is becoming more and more fierce, and the cracks are also extending towards the feet of the residents' team.
"ah!!!"
Seeing a woman walking at the end of the team unable to dodge, she was about to fall into a crack and be buried in the swarm of insects!
