Chapter 259 259 [The Beginning of the War]
Illidan and Aegwynn talked for a long time, recounting the details of their trip, from joining forces with Naga to break the shaky seal, to successfully obtaining the Eye of Sargeras from the depths of the tomb.
At first, Aegwynn frowned slightly when she heard that Illidan had joined forces with Naga. Then her attention gradually shifted to Illidan's description of the tomb's defense facilities, and her frown deepened as she listened.
Judging from her reaction, Angmar has determined that since Gul'dan cast a spell to raise the Tomb of Sargeras more than ten years ago, and broke the seal to seek power inside, Aegwynn has never entered the Tomb of Sargeras.
The Temple of the Moon in Suramar City used to seal the corpse of Sargeras incarnate.
"okay, I get it."
Aegwynn looked solemn, spoke to the two of them, and then returned to the magic circle to study the Eye of Sargeras with the magisters.
Illidan kept looking at Aegwynn's back and asked: "If I guess correctly, Prophet, you gave her the water from the Well of Eternity, right?"
This is no secret, Angmar nodded candidly.
"I can feel that she used the magic of the well water to extend her lifespan and bring her vital signs and physical condition back to their peak," Illidan grinned, "It's really an amazing method."
…
In the next few days, under strict confidentiality measures and a tight defense system that not even a fly could escape, the weaving of the spell began as scheduled.
With the Red Dragon Legion and the demigods joining forces, it is still unknown whether they can fight against Archimonde. The Hyjal coalition needs this spell as the final guarantee. In any case, even if the entire Mount Hyjal is razed, it is better than being defeated by the demon.
It would be much better to capture the New Well of Eternity and use its energy to open the portal and let Sargeras descend here.
During her long career as a Guardian, Guardian Aegwynn has hunted countless demons. Although she is not a warlock, based on the principle of knowing yourself and the enemy, her knowledge of demons and evil energy is unparalleled and can be called
A mobile treasure house of knowledge. The knowledge displayed amazed all the magisters.
Angmar felt that even compared to the Six Daggers Council of Warlocks in later generations, Aegwynn would not be inferior.
Even though research on demons has been going on for countless years, and some people have been hiding in the dark and engaged in the study of fel magic, the rise of the native warlocks in Azeroth still started with the invasion of the orcs.
.
The power of orc warlocks has changed the general public's understanding of fel magic in one fell swoop.
Especially at the beginning of the First War, the Kingdom of Stormwind was the first to be attacked by the tribe led by Blackhand the Destroyer.
At that time, Gul'dan's Shadow Council had not yet surfaced, and Orgrim was still only Blackhand's deputy. He had not regained the rule of his people from the puppet chief and killed almost all the orc warlocks.
Therefore, in the first two battles, although the Stormwind Kingdom's army firmly blocked the tribes that had not yet established a foothold in the Dark Swamp (the original names of the Swamp of Sorrows and the Blasted Lands), it can be said that they achieved an early victory.
, but also suffered heavy losses from the enemy's powerful spellcasters who used fel magic.
Since then, groups of mages from various countries, headed by Dalaran, have begun to study fel magic rationally while ensuring safety.
During this process, some people fell into darkness; some thought they had a strong will and could control this chaotic energy, so they abandoned the arcane and turned to evil.
The former are mostly low-level apprentices, while the latter are mostly mages who have made great achievements in their own fields. In any case, the number of warlocks has gradually increased. They hide in the dark because they cannot see the light, and form a loose organization. Many of them are...
Evil energy distorts people's minds and turns them into vicious criminals, causing great trouble to the authorities of various countries.
But having said that, there are still quite a few people in these organizations who have found proper ways to avoid the corruption suffered in the process of using evil energy. Although they work in darkness, they have a bright heart and are willing to live in corners unknown to others.
, study demons, fight demons...
…
There is no doubt that Aegwynn has knowledge about demons. At least it is unique in Azeroth at this time. In addition, he personally killed the incarnation of Sargeras three hundred years ago and has done some research on this energy-conducting artifact.
Because of this, he obviously became the leader of magic.
What surprised Angmar was that in just two days, Illidan quickly transformed from an outsider to a crucial spellcaster in the weaving of spells.
Due to the special characteristics of the demon's body, Illidan can better control the Eye of Sargeras. This artifact was originally made for demons. His rare magical talent and learning ability in his life surprised even Aegwynn.
.
In this process, all Angmar can do is use his connection with the energy of the Well of Eternity to control the arcane energy filled in the valley to provide energy supply for Aegwynn.
Although the understanding of magic theory and demonic knowledge only stays at the macro level, when it comes to specifics, Angmar cannot even compare to a group of magisters who have lived for thousands of years, let alone Illidan and Aegwynn, but his role
It is irreplaceable.
No one but him can control the well's energy like an arm.
A spell containing destructive power is slowly taking shape. If it weren't for the strong and effective spell barrier that blocked the transmission of the aftermath, I'm afraid everyone in the Gray Valley would be aware of the strange phenomenon here.
In the past few days, Malfurion came once and explained the situation to Angmar.
Long years have passed, and Malorne's soul has been traveling in the wildness of the Emerald Dream. Although it has accumulated a considerable amount of natural power to condense the body in the physical world, it has also gained the power of Alexstrasza's life force.
Blessing, but it is still difficult to return to full strength in a short period of time.
Including Agamaggan, the Ursoc brothers, and Goldrinn, who had just recovered from a serious injury, were in the same situation. Even with the help of the Red Dragon Queen, it would take at least one or two days for them to join the battlefield.
However, the demon army has already broken through the numerous blockades set by Jarod and marched to a place only dozens of kilometers away from the human base.
The tribe has already set off for the human base, preparing to unite with the night elf soldiers who have withdrawn from the front line, and stand with the humans at the first pass for at least a week. On the one hand, it is for Angmar's plan, and on the other hand, it is also for the demigods.
Let's buy time.
The team composed of druids and red dragons went to Ashenvale, Feralas, the Hinterlands, and the giant trees in the Dusk Forest (southern Elwynn Forest) to check the situation and eliminate corruption, and the news was also sent back to An.
Gema's expected report - the giant tree has been deeply corrupted, shadow creatures are everywhere, countless shadow nightmares rush out from the boundary between the dream world and the real world, and their leader is Ysera.
The four green dragons sent to check the situation are the Emerald Four Green Dragons in later generations...
Among the bad news that followed one after another, the only good news was brought by a young mage entrusted by the ranger general Lor'themar Theron who stayed in the eastern continent.
Sun Well - Anveena has ended her month-long slumber and is about to wake up. Now even the southern border of Quel'Thalas can feel the energy fluctuations of the well coming from the north.
.
If this situation can remain stable, it means that the Sunwell has even returned to its heyday.
The drop of water from the Well of Eternity that was separated from the inner space of Flame Strike and later absorbed by Anweina must not be simple.
…
As night fell on the third day, the human base was lined with torches and the outer walls were heavily guarded.
In the dim light, the sound of footsteps could be heard constantly.
The soldiers nervously carried arrows and cannonballs. A human archer, sentry and dark spear headhunter stood behind the parapet with a serious look on their faces, aiming their long-range weapons at the demonic army approaching the base in the distance.
.
"Are you nervous, Ms. Gianna?"
Thrall looked at the black demon army. The black plate armor and the Doomhammer on his back reflected a strange light under the leaping flames.
Jaina let out a long breath, and the slender fingers that clenched the staff were turning pale from too much force.
"nervous."
