Everyone learned from Lundosa's mouth that Zangarmarsh was not in such a situation a few years ago.
This swamp originally had five large lakes. It was an ecological area that was not rich but full of vitality. Many strange creatures inhabited this forest composed of huge fluorescent mushrooms. The adjacent area was ravaged by the Burning Legion and the evil orcs.
Compared to Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh still retains most of its beautiful original features.
However, all this changed after the arrival of the Nagas: they first built large-scale water pumping facilities to pump out the water sources of the five major lakes and concentrate them in the Serpent Lake in the center of the swamp. However, due to the sharp drop in water levels, they relied on the other four lakes.
Most of the species in the living space died, and less than one in ten could survive.
But these are not the most important things. What worries the Draenei even more is that the strange gases released by the Naga water pumps have recently caused animals and plants to mutate. Many species that were not aggressive have become
It is extremely ferocious and attacks all visible creatures irrationally. It annoys the draenei of Tyrandor so much that they even moved their base to a giant fluorescent mushroom.
"Life is very difficult," Lundosa sighed. "The Nagas have made a mess in the swamp, and there are ogres coming to join in the fun in the southeast. During this time, we have not dared to send out less than three guards to patrol.
But despite this, there are still many soldiers missing for no reason..."
Regan frowned and asked, "Then do you know the origins of these Nagas, and what are their intentions in extracting water from the lakes?"
"Unfortunately, we don't know much about this," Captain Delaney said apologetically, "but the only thing that can be confirmed is that the leader of the Nagas should be the tidal sea witch Vashj who directly takes orders from Illidan.
, this woman is ruthless, no less cruel than the demons under the betrayer. Over the past few years, she has killed or imprisoned the races in the swamp. Many innocent Broken people were captured by her and taken to Serpent Lake as slaves."
"Vashj..." Regan pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to Evelin and asked, "Could she be Na who rescued Prince Karsus from the Dalaran cage?"
Leader Jia?”
The blood elf nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it was she who introduced Prince Karl to Illidan. Since then, His Royal Highness has brought the elite of the clan to the outer lands, and has rarely contacted Silvermoon City until now."
"I see..." Regen was silent after hearing this, but he was thinking about the meaning of Naga's actions.
Speaking of the Naga tribe, we really have to mention Illidan, the powerful but unruly demon hunter.
Ten thousand years ago, in that tragic ancient war, the Burning Legion was repelled by the night elves and some rebellious upper elves. At the same time, the portal prepared by Queen Azshara for the arrival of Sargeras also interacted with the Well of Eternity.
destroyed together
The violent explosion split the ancient continent of Kalimdor into several new landmasses and created a new ocean. Jin Aissalin, the former capital of the night elves, also sank to the bottom of the sea forever.
The queen, who was abandoned by her people, did not die in the big explosion. On the contrary, she and some of her supporters escaped the horrific earth-shattering, and were drawn into the maelstrom of the seabed together with the queen's palace - here, eternity
The well still continues to release the remaining magical energy, slowly corroding the surviving highborne.
Soon, the queen and her followers were horrified to discover the fact that snake-like scales had grown on their proud bodies, and their appearance gradually distorted into monsters, although they could swim underwater.
Breathe freely, but the price paid is definitely not what the arrogant and arrogant upper elves are willing to see.
Therefore, Naga, who was suffering from the curse of pain, attributed these sufferings to those creatures on land, and determined to wait for the opportunity to take back the places that originally belonged to them in this world.
And for the next thousands of years, they all lurked quietly under the sea, until a message containing the terrifying power of Sargeras spread to the deep sea, causing them to close their eyes for thousands of years, and suddenly
Open!
When the Nagas separated from the sea and climbed back onto the land that had been away for thousands of years, they were surprised to find that what was waiting for them was actually a night elf with magic marks all over his body.
And this night elf is naturally the subsequent overlord of Outland and the controller of the entire Draenor - Illidan Stormrage.
It is unknown what method the Demon Hunter used to make Naga surrender, but the only thing that is certain is that after that, the Naga tribe led by Ms. Vashj became Illidan's loyal hawks, not only following him in Ai
Xerath fought against the minions of the Lich King, and left his homeland without complaint to come to the broken Draenor to open up territory for the demon hunters. He was truly loyal.
But what does all this have to do with the original ambitions of the Nagas? A big question mark appeared in Regen's mind.
Although Vashj has obeyed Illidan's words from beginning to end, never forget that her real master is Queen Azshara in the depths of the Endless Sea!
As a ruler who lost her throne and country, Azshara's desire for revenge can be imagined, and Illidan was one of the enemies who overthrew her throne. How could this queen be so kind to let her maid help him?
?
The only explanation is that there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it!
Thinking of this, Regan couldn't help but shudder at this seemingly absurd idea: If this Ms. Vashj is really pretending to be so perfect, then what is she, or Queen Azshara behind her, planning?
?
"My lord, my lord..." Just when the knight was distracted, Sam reminded him in a low voice to pull him out of his contemplation. He saw Lendosa looking at him with some embarrassment. Apparently, what he just said was ignored by him unintentionally.
Got it
"I'm sorry, Lord Rendosa," Regan smiled apologetically, "I was a little distracted for a moment. I wonder what you just said?"
Seeing that the other party did not mean to be negligent, the Draenei could not help but feel relieved: "Sir, I don't know. In fact, before you arrived, some people claiming to be from the Azeroth race came to the swamp... Oh, by the way, their
Most of them look very similar to this lady." He pointed at Sophie behind Regen.
"Me?" The elf said in surprise, "So they should be night elves?"
Regan looked at Lendosa: "Have these people said what organization they belong to? Or are they also members of the alliance's army like us?"
"No, they are not warriors of the Alliance," Delaney shook his head. "Although Tyrandor has been independent from the outside world all year round, Lord Velen also sent a message from the Exodar before, telling us about the Alliance army.
Flags and emblems, if those night elves belong to the Alliance, we will never tell the difference."
"Then who are they?" Herod asked curiously.
"This... we don't know very well." Rendoza and others looked at each other and shrugged helplessly, obviously a little confused about what they were asking.
"Oh, I remember!" Suddenly one of the female Draenei soldiers shouted, "The badge pattern on their chest is very special, like, like..." she said while gesturing with her hands, "It seems like
There is a crescent moon hanging upside down, and underneath it is a very lush tree, and the background color of the badge is red and yellow!"
"Is it the Cenarion Circle?" Sophie's eyes lit up and she asked loudly
"Yes, yes! That's the name!" The Delaney female soldier's eyes narrowed into slits, and she was obviously very happy that she could help. "The lady before was so kind and gave me a bag of maltose."
Yeah! But the other men are just average, they always have a poker face..."
Sophie quickly asked: "Then do you know where they are now?"
"They didn't say this, but when we patrolled the lagoon a few days ago, we saw from a distance that the Nagas and their Broken servants suffered heavy casualties. I think everyone from Cenarion must have passed there smoothly," Lun
Dosa took over the words, "Although we have never gone to the bottom of the Viper Lake to find out, we can be sure that Ms. Vaschi's lair should be at the bottom of the lake."
"These druids are quite brave," Regen said with a half-appreciative smile. "They actually dare to go deep into the enemy's cave with just a few people. They are as fearless as wild beasts... By the way, can you give me some advice on how to go to the Lake of Serpents?
Path? I’m quite interested in whether these druids have sneaked into Vashj’s lair.”
Lendosa blinked in surprise, seeing that Regen didn't seem to be joking, so he stepped forward to admonish: "Sir, it's not that subordinates are afraid of enemies, but such meaningless losses can indeed be avoided... Since
Your main task is to go to Nagrand to mediate the dispute between the Broken Ones and the Orcs, so there is no need to waste your time on this."
"Don't worry, I have my own opinion." Regan smiled slightly, but he was determined to find out what happened to the mysterious Naga leader. "You only need to send a guide who is familiar with the road. We will arrive at the Viper Lake
He will naturally come back later.”
"But my lord..." Rendosa wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Regan waving his hand.
"Needless to say, I have decided to go to Naga's lair to see what these guys are planning!"
"As you wish, my lord..." Rendosa shook her head helplessly and looked at the subordinates behind her, only to see that they all took a step back without leaving a trace. Only the female soldier who answered Sophie just now was still quite calm.
eager to try
"Okay, it's you, Fran Ziyue!"
