After seeing Prell following Vol'jin, Grom seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Just when the Darkspear Trolls had to evacuate the Echo Islands again, Vol'jin went to the Kingdom of Thresh to seek help.
During this period of time, Zalazane secretly launched two sneak attacks on Sen'jin Village.
As a witch doctor, Zalazane is proficient in the witchcraft unique to the troll family, and he does not know where he learned dark magic. He used the corpses of animals in the Echo Islands to create a strange voodoo that controlled
The trolls took refuge and then continued to spread the plague among the people.
For this reason, Grom has repelled two Zalazane attacks, and also captured seven or eight trolls and orcs who were unfortunately controlled by dark magic, and imprisoned them in cages.
After Prell used his observation eyes to carefully examine the imprisoned trolls and orcs, he frowned, because just as he had guessed, Zalazane was indeed using necromancy.
Sarah, the undead encountered in Mount Hyjal are slightly different.
Necromancy and necromancy are both types of necromancy in dark magic, but there are still some differences between the two. Necromancy deprives a living body of its soul, controls its body, and turns the target into a non-lifelike zombie.
The body; while necromancy is to imprison the soul of a living body and transform it into another life form.
For example, the Forsaken led by Sylvanas were contaminated by the Lich King's "Scale of the Undead" spell plague, and their life forms were transformed by undead spells.
As for the dark magic necromancy used by Zalazane, the trolls and orcs infected by him, although they still look alive, can no longer be regarded as living beings, because their souls have disappeared, leaving only
The body is driven by Zalazane's magic.
Prell told Vol'jin and Grom the results of his observations, and the two fell silent. Originally, they thought that Zalazane had only bound these tribesmen and comrades with dark magic, and that they could still be saved.
Opportunity, but now it seems that it is just taken for granted.
The corpses of these trolls and orcs imprisoned in cages are still controlled by Zalazane's dark magic. They neither look like zombies nor zombies, but more like puppets.
Do some simple actions.
They were tearing apart in the cage and banging their heads against the wooden bars. Their vocal cords seemed to have been damaged and they couldn't even make a sound. However, it was precisely this that made them look even more terrifying.
Looking at the trolls and orcs in the cage with their heads bruised and their fingers bloody, Prell sighed: "Their souls have dissipated. Now they are just manipulated corpses. Let them
Rest in peace!"
He pulled out the burning blade, and a series of "exorcism spells" fell on the cage. As the holy light fell, those trolls and orcs who looked like living people with healthy skin colors suddenly had black hair all over their bodies.
As the black energy dissipated, their bodies quickly shrank and turned into dry corpses.
"Cremate their corpses!" Prell gave the suggestion. Vol'jin and Grom looked sad and ordered their men to do this immediately according to the instructions.
Then Prell asked Vol'jin and Grom to gather all the trolls and orcs, and observe them one by one with the eye of observation. Soon he discovered that there was indeed a man controlled by Zalazane hidden among them.
Troll.
A "hammer of sanctions" and an "exorcism" were used to kill the hidden troll. Prell said: "Go and see where he lives."
The group of people soon arrived at the troll's tent. In the tent, Prell found a pot with black concoction hidden in it. He asked seriously: "Didn't you notice something unusual about him?"
The other trolls living nearby shook their heads in fear, and Woking sighed: "Saville is a witch doctor. You know, we troll witch doctors always like to study various voodoos. Who of us
I never thought that Zalazane would actually attack his own apprentice!"
Savile, the troll witch doctor who was discovered and killed by Prell, was different from the trolls and orcs in the cage. When the "exorcism" fell on him, his body emitted very little black energy.
, and his body did not immediately become dry like other trolls and orcs, and looked like a troll that died normally.
Prell didn't know much about dark magic and basically no understanding of souls. He just guessed based on the feedback from the Holy Light spell that Zalazane needed to plant a nail in the troll, so he had little control over Savile.
Weaker.
So he said to Vol'jin and Grom: "We must go to the Echo Islands. There is no need to send out troops. We have to find out where Zalazane is hiding. I guess it must be the Burning Legion from Mount Hyjal."
The remnants of the Necromancer hid in the Echo Islands, and seduced Zalazane into corrupting him!"
Wo'jin frowned: "Then how did these necromancers get here?" Prell paused and said: "On Mount Hyjal, only Theramore's human army has ever faced the Lich Thunder alone.
Regi Donghan's army, and we have been fighting side by side since then. I guess that around that time, the defeated Necromancers under Regi Donghan had already hidden themselves in the human army.
When Daelin Proudmoore led his army to Theramore, these necromancers blended into the admiral's army. The admiral once commanded the fleet to attack the Echo Islands. I think at that time,
There must be a necromancer lurking on the island."
Prell didn't know if his guess was correct, but at least logically, it seemed possible. Vol'jin nodded, obviously agreeing with Prell's guess. Grom mentioned Gorehowl: "Then
What are we waiting for? Go to the island, kill that hateful necromancer, and kill Zalazane by the way!"
Wo Jin looked a little embarrassed. He and Zalazane were childhood playmates and once close partners. From the bottom of his heart, he would rather Zalazane was controlled by the Necromancer and still had the possibility of being saved.
That was his expectation not to be killed as an enemy.
"We don't know if there are really necromancers lurking on the island. If so, how many necromancers are there? To what extent has Zalazane been eroded by dark magic? How much dark magic do they control now? We are concerned about this
Nothing is known, so sending a large army is definitely not feasible.
To put it bluntly, only I can detect dark magic. If we send out troops, if they are infected and controlled by Zalazane again, we will be risking the lives of soldiers in vain, so we don’t need too many people to form a team.
That’s enough!” Player said.
"Then Lorkhan and I will go with you!" Vol'jin said immediately. Behind him, Shadow Hunter Lorkhan raised the boomerang in his hand.
"I'm going too!" Grom raised his blood roar and said to the adjutant beside him: "You just stay and command the army and continue to patrol the coastline closely!"
Lexa said: "Let me go too!" Prell nodded: "The five of us are enough. Without further ado, we will set off immediately!"
Everyone was action-oriented, so they immediately rowed a small boat and headed for the Echo Islands. The Echo Islands are located in the southeastern waters of Durotar. They are composed of more than a dozen large islands and dozens of small islands. The islands are densely forested.
It is similar to the island environment where the Darkspear trolls originally lived but were occupied by the fishmen.
After landing at a dock, Lorkhan headed straight for the destination. They landed on the largest island in the Echo Islands, which was the main settlement of the Darkspear Trolls and where Zalazane had previously been hiding.
Trolls are somewhat similar to night elves. As a branch of jungle trolls, the Darkspear clan is accustomed to life in the jungle and is good at living in harmony with the jungle.
After walking along a road in the jungle deep into the island for about half an hour, Prell saw many abandoned Darkspear Troll houses. These houses were built against trees, were ventilated and had a wide view.
There was just silence all around.
This is the first time that Prell has come to the Echo Islands. This jungle town was obviously built as a main city by the Darkspear Trolls. It is extremely messy, the traces left by the Trolls who hurriedly evacuated without having time to clean up.
"There are no living people here!" Lockhan said, and Prell nodded slightly. He had a map system and could see movements within 50 meters, but Lockhan, as a hunter, was obviously better at tracking.
Continuing eastward from this temporarily abandoned town, they passed through a large jungle. The group found the bodies of many dead jungle tigers, as well as a small number of whiptail raptor carcasses. Without exception, the meat of these animal carcasses was basically the same.
All were stripped away.
Lockhan knelt down next to a velociraptor corpse, inspected it, and said, "The death time was no more than a day. It seems that Zalazane is nearby."
He glanced left and right and pointed to the southeast: "There is one of our settlements there. Let's go there and have a look!" Everyone had no objections and followed Lockhan.
After walking for about an hour, they came to a troll settlement behind a hilly col on the island. There were about thirty or forty houses here. Not far behind the col was the sea. The small village was obviously
It was fishing, because Prell saw many fishing nets hanging in the open space in the woods.
Prell suddenly whispered: "Silence! There seems to be someone over there!" He pointed to the location of the hill, and the other four people nodded and quietly moved towards it.
It was another small col in the middle of the hills behind the small village. Player climbed over from the edge of the hills, lay on the top of the hill, looked down, and was suddenly surprised.
In the mountain col, many trees have been cut down. A troll wearing a wooden voodoo mask and a black and red patterned robe is busy in front of a burning cauldron. Beside him, there are a group of seemingly
Zombie-like trolls and several orcs were mechanically carrying firewood and cutting up the corpses of several jungle tigers and velociraptors.
Rexxar had already gone around behind him, and Prell saw him shaking his axe, and saw Vol'jin not far away with an eager look on his face, while Grom was on the other side, eager to try, holding up the Blood Roar.
So he stood up.
Wo'jin was obviously more anxious than him. He jumped out in a few steps and shouted: "Zalazane, my old friend, what are you doing?"
