"Human ants of the first world! Your king...has awakened!!
Hand over my crown! Recognize my rule! I will consider letting you live as slaves...
Otherwise... prepare to sleep in my realm of death forever!!!!"
A loud and terrifying sound suddenly erupted from the city of Tristram in the western boundary of the first world. The rolling sound waves instantly uprooted large trees like a world-destroying typhoon sweeping across the border.
This sound crossed the endless forest sea, the towering barrier mountains, the turbulent Twin Seas, the calm Nobile Sea, and spread to all ends of the first world.
From the Dreadlands and the summits of Mount Arreat, to the hunting grounds of the Haworth Islands.
From the Harmony Cape in Westmar to the closed city of Uri on the wetland.
The entire world heard this call from the Western Realm, and all human beings were trembling with fear from the huge power in this voice.
In Harrogath, the hometown of the barbarians, Qualkek, who was discussing the timing of the next Ancestor Trial and the World Stone Trial with his subordinates in the main hall, suddenly stood up from behind the table.
The veins were protruding, and the rough face was as cold as the frosted iron rock on the top of the mountain.
In the Immortal Fortress, the holy land of mages, several legendary mages teleported out from their mage towers at the same time. They gathered over the magic city that was firmly protected by the arcane barrier, and they all looked towards the west with worried eyes.
direction.
In the far east of the Eastern Continent, along the tributary of the Zulaka River that flows to the Sea of Light, stretching to the foot of the barrier mountains of the Eastern Continent, the "City of Life and Death" Uruizhong was completely sealed by the rich necromancy.
A powerful necromancer holding a short scythe and wearing gray-white robes is performing a sacrificial ceremony for Tageo and Rathma at the top of a high tower.
But suddenly, their ritual was interrupted, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the leading necromancer even took off the pale mask on his face.
They all turned to look to the west, and all the necromancers frowned deeply.
In the western border, Skeleton King's declaration of return almost immediately triggered massive panic among the people of all city-states. The port of King's Harbor was in chaos, and countless cargo ships that had just arrived immediately pulled anchor and set sail again.
A large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen, bringing their families and luggage, crowded onto the dirty trestle, which they would not normally come to in person. They waved large bags of gold coins in their hands and asked the shipowner to take them away.
The Kingdom of Westmarch entered a state of emergency combat readiness almost within half an hour. All soldiers and members of the Knights of Glory canceled their vacations and were on standby around the clock.
The legions that mainly defended Tristram were on alert and at war with each other, and the commander wished he could sleep with his eyes open.
On the other side, at Rogge Camp, which is only separated by a mountain from Tristram, Akala issued an emergency order to recall all the new professionals who were training outside, and immediately announced that the Icy Plains border post and the Eastern Pass were temporarily closed.
Under martial law, no one is allowed to enter or leave these two important checkpoints at will.
In the Aranok Desert, Lugoin's reconstruction work was interrupted as a result. King Rehain had to declare that the kingdom was in a state of emergency again. The New City Guards, who had been trained before, immediately put the port under surveillance and strictly inspected the direction from King's Port.
All arriving ships.
On Haworth Island, in Kejistan, in Ta Doula...
The Skeleton King's roar caused a huge earthquake to occur throughout the first world. Guardians in countless kingdoms were sending emergency notices to the Demon Fortress Council at a rate of one per minute.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for Xue Hua to go to Kane and ask him to tell the parliament the news in a roundabout way.
The problem he faces now is how to stop this crazily spreading death fog.
This strange gray mist has spread several times faster since the Skeleton King released that crazy declaration that shocked the whole world, and according to the information detected by the Supervisory King Insects using their spiritual vision, the demon clone in Tristram
The army also began to leave the city collectively, rushing in all directions with the gray fog.
Not far east of Tristram are the towering barrier mountains, and the Zerg's main nest base is located under the mountains.
In the past, Xue Hua wouldn't have been too worried with the shield-like barrier mountains blocking him, but the problem now is that since these damn gray fogs can erode the hidden Zerg nests under the forest sea, it is obvious that the mountains must also
There's no way to stop them.
Therefore, whether in public or private matters, Xue Hua must stop the Skeleton King's crazy behavior, otherwise the development of the Zerg that has spent so much effort may be brought back to before liberation overnight!
"Isa, is there any movement in King's Port? Where is their 'Shining Aegis' army?"
Xue Hua was crawling on the cockroach's carapace, speeding between the forest and sea. He was leading the insect swarm back to the Xel'Naga laboratory under the sea cliff.
Since this incident was most likely caused by the remnants of the Church of Evolution, their target was probably still in that laboratory. Xue Hua really wanted to deal with these culprits who had single-handedly caused such a disaster.
Sit them to death...
So if these guys want to take advantage of the chaos Skeleton King has caused to steal something back from the lab...then he's going to make sure these bastards run headlong into a nail-studded iron plate!
"Lord, the human kingdom you mentioned is still in chaos. Obviously, these humans have no experience in dealing with such things.
Their leaders lack courage and are unable to come up with effective strategies, and what's more serious is that deserters are appearing in their armies."
Isa replied.
"Desert? Damn it! What's wrong with this?!" Xue Hua's eyes widened when he heard the adjutant's words.
As the saying goes, soldiers are the courage of a group. If one is strong, the group will be strong, and once they are defeated, they will all fall.
If deserters appear in this army, if they are not strictly stopped, more deserters will soon appear. Once this leading role is highlighted, this army will soon completely collapse. When it is really needed, the commander
You will find that there are not many people left under you.
Xue Hua also knew how evil the "Black Mad Lord" Leoric was in the Western Border, but he didn't expect that the morale of the King's Port army would collapse before the war even started?
If this continues, not to mention resisting the demon army in Tristram City, even the undead monsters in the gray mist can capture King's Port.
"Damn it, this place that hasn't been fighting for a long time is really unreliable. I should have seen it when we fought Cui Fanke before!"
Xue Hua gritted his teeth bitterly. The troops in King's Port were corrupted, and he could not do anything due to his status. At present, the human side seemed to be able to only count on the Parliament to quickly reinforce them.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at the sea cliff that was already close at hand. Just when he was about to get angry and let the cockroach wade directly into the cave, he heard Isa's warning voice coming from the main nest mind.
"Master, our supervisory king insect discovered that all the enemy's forces suddenly began to concentrate on the human town in front of them. Judging from this, the enemy's first attack target is probably the human King's Port."
