The fertility rate of the Nightborne is similar to that of the High Elves, and slightly higher than that of the immortal race Night Elves.
Exactly ten thousand years have passed, and withered beings wandering unconsciously can be seen everywhere on the outskirts of Suramar.
Due to excessive accumulation, some withered ones were even pushed to neighboring Azsuna.
"Well... there are too many, it's difficult to handle."
According to the information provided by Stellagosa and other blue dragons, the number of withered spells in Azsuna is far inferior to that of Suramar.
However, due to absorbing the raw magic power escaping from the chaotic magic network nodes, they are far more violent and aggressive than their compatriots next door.
While flying over the ruins of Zahnar's Magic Network to observe, Sarlayan and Valeela saw the nodes of the Magic Network that were directly exposed.
Countless withers gathered around the node, eagerly sucking in the raw magic power escaping from the node.
"That magic network node... looks very dangerous."
After observing the status of the nodes, Sarlayan's brows gradually frowned.
Due to a large amount of energy being extracted for a long time, the condition of the magic network nodes is very unstable, and it seems that collapse may occur at any time.
Arcana represents the order in the six origins of the universe, but this power is not easy to control. If you are not careful, you may open portals to other dimensions uncontrollably.
The history books of Quel'Thalas have recorded similar situations more than once. The reckless spellcaster was thrown to an unknown corner of the universe and never appeared again.
"Think about it from another angle."
Valeela looked thoughtfully at the unstable magic network node: "Can we actively cause the node to collapse? Suck all the withered ones into the hole at once."
"no."
Stella Gossa said categorically: "Don't forget, our ultimate goal is to restore the operation of the magic network in the Azuna region."
"Once the collapse phenomenon occurs, it will be so easy to repair it afterwards, and the difficulty of the task will increase exponentially."
"Hmph~"
Valeera asked displeasedly: "Then you come up with a solution, don't just talk without practicing."
"this……"
Stellagosa, who was talking eloquently, suddenly got stuck. If she had known, she would not have delayed the solution until today.
Sarlayan was a little confused by the seemingly natural antagonism between the two women. Ever since they started acting together, they would often find opportunities to insult each other.
'Ha~ childish.'
Sarlayan instinctively thought that this was just a simple mutual repulsion of the same sex, but the onlookers, Qing Qing's barrage, had already seen through everything, and everyone moved the benches to watch the show.
"Stop arguing, let's try another idea."
Sarlayan looked at the withered ones below and muttered: "Since the withered ones will be attracted by magic, we might as well arrange a magical bait and lure them into a trap to kill them all at once."
"No way."
Stella Gosa smiled bitterly and said: "We have tried it before, and it is difficult for artificial magic bait to divert the attention of the withered spell from the magic network node."
"In that case." Sarlayan's eyes flashed: "We might as well use real people as bait. I don't believe these brainless people won't be fooled."
…
The unlucky one chosen as the bait was a male baby dragon. He was restlessly circling around the trap and suggested changing people more than once.
In the words of Sha Diao netizens, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, and none of the other young dragons who escaped the disaster were willing to sacrifice themselves.
Poor Bait's substitution plan was ignored as everyone was busy with the work at hand.
Except for the draconians who stayed in the habitat, Stellagosa brought out all the young dragons this time, and she was determined to fight to the death.
After the trap was prepared, under the tearful expression of the bait, the young dragons transferred part of their magic power to him, making him the brightest star in the night sky.
More than a dozen arcane beams were transmitted to the bait. His scales became brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations emitted became stronger and stronger, finally attracting the attention of some withered spells.
Valeela, who was in charge of the lookout, appeared next to Sarlayan in secret: "It's coming, be prepared."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "Check it one last time to make sure that the links you are responsible for are not missed."
To deal with brainless enemies like the Withered Man, you don't actually need to spend too much thought on setting up a strategy.
Previously, due to Senegos' extremely conservative strategy, Stellagosa had never brought so many compatriots together.
Having only dealt with the brainless Withered in the Azsuna region all year round, the blue dragons in the Blue Wing Habitat have relatively simple ideas. They do not travel around, and the well-informed Sarlayan and Valeela have so many evil thoughts.
Again, the Dragon Clan prefers to use force to overwhelm people rather than using their brains. This is also the method they are best at.
But unfortunately, due to lack of energy, the blue dragon in the Blue Wing Habitat is unable to crush the enemy in terms of strength.
Coupled with Senegos' conservative strategy of binding his own hands, they had a humiliating fight with the Withered.
Including Stellagosa, the young dragons have long been dissatisfied with the status quo. Now that they finally have the power to move freely, they are all very excited.
...Of course, if you exclude the unlucky bait who lost the guessing game, he will feel that he has no gaming experience.
The withered ones have no discipline. They rush in a swarm when attacking and have no structure when retreating.
The fastest group of withered warriors rushed to the bait first, frantically beating the solid arcane shield protecting the young dragon with their hands.
Some withered spells also tried to absorb magic power from the shield, trying to defeat the shield from the inside.
But Sarlayan had already considered this and specifically ordered Stellagosa and others to make some adjustments to the structure of the shield.
After sacrificing part of its strength, the stability of the arcane shield has been greatly improved, and the Withered Spell cannot absorb any energy from it.
Looking at the cracks on the surface of the shield, a look of horror gradually appeared on the Bait Dragon's face, and he looked for help more than once at the place where the others were hiding.
Stellagosa couldn't help but want to rush out to save people, but Sharlayan held her shoulders down at this time.
"Don't be impulsive. The shield can still hold up for a while. We must try our best to attract all the withered ones here."
As Sarlayan said, although the cracks on the surface are increasing, this seemingly thin shield is actually very stable.
Withered spells all over the mountains and plains surrounded the poor young dragon. Sharlayan used Eagle Eye to confirm.
There were only a few dozen withered creatures left near the ruins of Zahnar's magic network, and most of them were lured to climb to the top of the mountain platform.
"It's now!"
After receiving the order, Stellagosa, who couldn't wait for a long time, jumped up and transformed into a young dragon in mid-air. Other blue dragons also followed suit.
The blue dragons were neatly divided into two rows, front and back.
The moment the shield shattered, the linkage trap arranged at the scene was triggered. All the Withered Lawmen were numbed by the thick arcs emerging from the ground, and were temporarily unable to move.
Taking this opportunity, the poor bait immediately spread its wings and took off, turning around and running away without saying a word.
"hold head high!"
The first row of blue dragons arrived at the scene, breathing dragon breath downwards in a unified movement, and the blue dragon breath flames instantly illuminated the night sky.
Before the withered ones could recover their ability to move, they fled, and the second wave of dragon breath followed closely.
The piled-up Withered were unable to fight back against such a large-scale aerial attack, and hoarse screams that did not sound like human voices resounded through the mountains and forests of Azsuna.
The ghosts of the night watchmen who were far away in the palace of Farodis also heard the roar of the ghosts and howls, and subconsciously raised their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.
At this time, Faroldis had already revealed the reasons and consequences of his resistance to Queen Azshara according to Sarlayan's plan, as well as the culprits who caused the failure of the plan.
Ten thousand years have passed, no matter how naive a person is, they should have figured out what the original demonic invasion was all about.
Without the fan filter, these Night's Watchers gradually recognized Azshara's true nature.
As soon as the matter was revealed, the leader of the Night Watch naturally forgave Faroldis and regarded him as the Lord of the Night Watch again, which was the position that Faroldis originally deserved.
Prince Farodis looked thoughtfully at the arcane mountaintop in the distance.
"Could it be Sarlayan and the others?"
Azsuna has been peaceful for ten thousand years. All the changes that have occurred recently began after Sarlayan and Valeela entered this area. It is no wonder that Faroldis immediately suspected them.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now."
After withdrawing his thoughts, Faroldis asked the night watchmen: "Have you discovered the whereabouts of Jarod Shadowsong?"
