There is no doubt that the death of Mannoroth and the sudden betrayal of the Warsong Clan gave the top brass of the Burning Legion Vanguard a small shock.
Especially the fear lord Tichondrius could not believe that one of the most powerful abyss lords in the legion would die in the hands of his own pet.
However, Archimonde, who was impatient to seize the World Tree and the Well of Eternity, could no longer care so much.
He first personally ordered the Doom Guard Legion to approach Mount Hyjal with Hellfire. At the same time, he asked Tichondrius to bring the Skull of Gul'dan to corrupt the narrow area that was later called Felwood, making it impossible for the night elves to pass through.
It is supported by allies such as tree men and furbolgs.
In short, Archimonde plans to weaken the resistance as much as possible before officially launching a full-scale attack on Mount Hyjal to avoid the situation like the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago where all forces united to become enemies of the Legion.
The combined forces of humans and tauren also advanced along the Ashenvale towards Mount Hyjal.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least more than a month to reach the destination and officially start the battle that will ultimately determine the fate of the entire world.
But the difference from the original timeline is that this time there are no orcs on the list to resist the Burning Legion.
To be precise, after Thrall, the warchief, returned to the tribe, he took the orcs and the trolls of the Darkspear tribe to build a temporary camp on the broken land of Azshara.
He neither chose to continue pursuing the Warsong clan nor had any intention of joining the war.
On the contrary, they became physically integrated with the large number of local Nagas and Murlocs.
It didn't take long for Thrall to sweep across the Broken Shore with his newly formed "Blood Guard" force and establish his own home on the ruins of the Highborne.
With rich forest and fishery resources, the tribe quickly got rid of the state of food poverty, and even established a breeding farm and began to raise pigs and deer to meet the huge demand for meat from the orcs and trolls, as if they were ready to take root and settle here.
Posture.
Because Azshara was once the capital of the night elves' ancient empire, and was also the center of the explosion of the first Well of Eternity, it was considered a cursed place by the night elves and was never easily approached.
In addition to naga, furbolgs, murlocs, and a small number of satyrs, there are only some ghosts left behind by the death of the highborne wandering in the ruins.
For orcs with rich war and combat experience, it is not enough to deal with this group of rotten fish and shrimps.
What's more, after the Nagas realized that this group of outsiders was not easy to deal with, they decisively chose to retreat temporarily.
On the other side, Grom Hellscream and his Warsong clan came to the depths of Felwood, waiting patiently for the arrival of the demon hunter Illidan Stormrage.
Under Zuo Si's arrangement, they will become the first group of loyal followers of the latter to pass through the Dark Portal and arrive in the Outland, and then let the orcs taste what it is like to have their world invaded, burned, killed, and plundered by foreign enemies.
At that time, all native orcs will disappear completely, either drained of blood and turned into a cold corpse, or transformed into blood orcs.
As for Thrall, Zuo Si will "mercifully" allow him to continue to lead the tribe to survive for a period of time and accumulate prestige bit by bit.
When the time is right, the resurrected undead will be thrown out, and this guy will expose Thrall in public as not only a murderer of his compatriots, but also a blood orc like Grom.
At that time, this great chief with a high status will taste the taste of falling from heaven to hell in an instant, and at the same time, he will also taste the taste of abandonment and betrayal.
He will go from a hero that everyone admires to a sinner.
The huge psychological gap will defeat people's thoughts, will and the beliefs they have always persisted in, and will inevitably lead to darkness.
It is even possible to make decisions under the control of extreme emotions that you will regret for life.
And this is the result Zuo Si expected to see.
You don't need to ask to know that he longs to get Thrall's soul, and then take it to hell for further corruption and depravity, and slowly turn it into a chess piece that can be used by himself.
This chess piece will be taken to the continent of Faerûn and thrown into an orc tribe, and then completely subvert the beliefs of the orc gods from within, and completely expel them from the crystal wall where the planet Toril is located.
After all, Zuo Si, who has always maximized his grudge attribute, will never forget that when he was still very weak, it was the orc god Gruumsh who tried to incarnate and kill him.
Of course, this plan requires a long period of preparation.
Even the Battle of Mount Hyjal would take about a month or two to fully break out.
During this period, the main thing was the steady advancement of the Burning Legion, and Tyrande's continuous awakening of the druids sleeping in the Emerald Dream, while summoning allies to start organizing defenses.
Zuo Si was obviously not interested in these boring little things.
What's more, after a period of preparation, the Eternal Judgment Island elves, who were always slow to do anything, finally gathered an "army" of 5,000 people and arrived in Ascatla on a warship.
Silinxi, who has never been very particular about dressing up, not only put on a gorgeous robe and a crown this time, but also took out the sword of Akkorim, which symbolizes Cormanthor's legal rule, and wore it on her head.
The most conspicuous place to show your legitimacy.
When she left the ship and stepped into the largest and most prosperous port in the west coast empire, she immediately felt the powerful and extremely complex magic mystery shrouding this super giant city.
No!
Not just cities!
There are also farmlands, villages and small towns within hundreds of kilometers around.
The abundant magical energy in the surrounding environment, as well as the repeatedly reinforced magic network, can fully withstand the all-out bombardment of a dozen or even dozens of legendary mages without collapsing.
Moreover, in the sky above the city, you can still see several crystals floating about 500 to 1,000 meters above the ground, exuding dazzling light, which are the famous Mythra Cores of Netheril.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are more than six.
Their staggered arrangement just forms a system that echoes the magic mystery locks, providing nearly unlimited magical energy to the city below.
It was obviously night now, but various magic lamps and torches with eternal flames were scattered all over the streets and alleys. There was no darkness at all on the streets of the entire city.
Even some bustling market streets are brighter and dazzling than during the day.
Hundreds of mage towers stand densely close to the north of the new area of ​​​​the city. More than two thousand mages and more than four times the number of apprentices are engaged in various researches here day and night, as well as magic equipment, scrolls and
Production of pharmaceuticals.
There is no doubt that Askatra today is one of the most prosperous, affluent, and modern cities in the entire Faerûn continent.
It is also a veritable magical city.
Neither the capital of Ser, ruled by the red-robed mage, nor the capital of Halrua, the country of mage, can be compared with it.
After gaining the ability to perform high-level elven magic rituals, Zuo Si frantically spent several months creating this unprecedented and magnificent miracle.
It combines the knowledge of Netheril, the system of Elven Magic Locks, and unique magic from multiple times and spaces including Magic Earth, Ravnica, etc.
Finally, we need to add the planeswalker’s spark that can connect multiple worlds.
"This guy Soth is simply a lunatic! He actually put the idea he mentioned before into practical action in just a few months, and it seems that he has basically succeeded."
Silinxi raised her hand and used the silver fire given by the goddess of magic to feel the magical effects and abilities in the surrounding air, with expressions of shock and disbelief on her face.
"Idea? What idea?"
Another elf mage accompanying him asked in an uncertain tone.
Silinxi answered without thinking: "He once proposed that he wanted to create an unprecedented mystery with himself as the center, which could change the radius and the rules of magic and physics within thousands of kilometers in an instant.
It can even directly reshape the environment and landscape of a continent or even a world."
"Use yourself as the core of the magic mystery?!"
The elf mage's pupils suddenly dilated, and even his breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it?"
Silinxi licked her lips subconsciously, feeling strong awe and admiration for someone for the first time.
Because in this huge and extremely complicated mystery, she discovered that part of the [Spell Transfer] she invented was incorporated as a rule.
You must know that the original [Spell Transfer] can only affect the magic network within a range of two to three hundred meters at best.
But now, after being compiled into rules, it can directly affect a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Its difficulty is not at the same level as the original spell.
In addition, there are many strange magical powers that Silinxi has never been exposed to.
Even though she had an unusual understanding of magic locks, she was not sure that she could break through the locks that had countless layers of protection and changed the rules of the real world.
To be precise, this is simply not a power that mortals can possess.
Only gods or powerful god-like powers can achieve this.
"So this magical mystery lock will not always exist, but will move with the movement of the other party? When he leaves Ascatra, the mystery lock covering the city will completely disappear?"
The Elf Mage's eyes also showed horror at this moment.
You must know that it is extremely difficult to fix the core of the Mystery Lock on an immovable object. It requires the sacrifice of several or even a dozen high-level mages to barely do it.
He simply couldn't believe how many difficulties a mortal would have to overcome to make a living person the core of the mystery.
Silinxi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, not really.
