"Holy Light!" Regan could hardly find any words to describe his shock at this moment.
On the continent of Azeroth, although there are various legends about the Burning Legion, as a low-level plane, most of them are unclear. Even if you open the ancient books of elves and dragons, most of them are mentioned emphatically.
The legion's three direct invasions of the mainland, but little attention has been paid to their origins and composition.
Therefore, even though Azeroth is a plane that the Fallen Titans care about very much, the world's understanding of them is still limited to their several wars of aggression - more than 10,000 years ago, the earliest civilized elves discovered the continent.
The Well of Eternity in the center, under the leadership of Queen Azshara, they established their own empire here. But disaster also approached along with the glory - due to Azshara and the upper elves' excessive use of the Well of Eternity, Sargeras
Noticed this almost infinite source of energy
He separated part of his consciousness and entered the complete continent that was still called Kalimdor at that time, and tricked the Elf Queen into agreeing to enter. Azshara was also overwhelmed by his powerful power and finally agreed to the plan.
Soon, the portal with the Well of Eternity as its energy source was opened, and countless demons swarmed out of the void and began to invade this long-coveted world. The Defiler Archimonde and his lieutenant Mannoroth acted as
The pioneer troops set off a storm of war in Kalimdor. This storm devastated every corner of the world. They also tried their best to absorb every bit of power in the world to prepare for Sargeras' personal arrival.
——Because of the transformation of the world by the Titans, when outside creatures want to teleport to Azeroth, the more powerful the creature, the more powerful the energy source is needed to open the portal from Azeroth.
But at the last moment of the plan, a group of rational night elves, under the leadership of Tyrande and his wife, united with a large number of demigods and dragons to raise the flag of rebellion against Azshara's tyranny. In the end, the Well of Eternity exploded in a fierce battle.
, split the entire continent into three, but at the same time saved the fragile world and drove the demons back to the Twisting Nether.
Sargeras's second invasion sounds quite dramatic. First of all, he realized that relying on mortals alone would not work, so he spent a lot of effort to come to Azeroth himself - but because of this, he is powerful.
His power was weakened by less than a hundred, and he was even defeated by the first guardian of the continent, the female witch Aegwynn, while hunting a dragon.
His huge bronze body was shattered by Aegwynn, sealed in an ancient tomb in a palace on the seabed, and then slowly sank into the bottomless endless sea.
But just when the naive Aegwynn thought he had defeated Sargeras, his soul had already left his body and entered the body of the pregnant female mage, lurking in the future as the second guardian-the Arcanist.
On Medivh
For a period of time after that, the Fallen Titan continued to issue orders to his subordinates through his consciousness, ordering Kil'jaeden to find and build a suitable and invincible mortal invasion army as a pioneer to prevent the ancient war from being blocked by the demigods. In the end, there was insufficient strength and he died.
The history that led to failure repeats itself
The Deceiver carried out his master's orders without question, and searched for a suitable race for this purpose, until one day he heard a planet named "Draenor" in the Eredan language, which aroused the interest of Kil'jaeden.
of strong interest and pursued it to this point
In this world called the "Exile Refuge" in the Eredar language, he finally found his fellow tribesmen who were unwilling to join in the evil. Since they left the Eredar's home planet of Argus, they named themselves "Germans".
At the same time, the demon warlock also unexpectedly discovered another ethnic group, the orcs who believed in shamanism. Kil'jaeden was attracted by them and firmly believed that they were the ones he had been looking for.
race
So he found the most respected leader in the tribe and approached him disguised as the sacred ancestral soul of the orcs. In the end, Kil'jaeden successfully deceived the old shaman Ner'zhul, making him mistakenly believe that the draenei were secretly behind the scenes.
Planned to eliminate the orcs, and at the same time subtly infiltrated some of the warlocks' magic and bloodthirsty desires into the tribe. Finally, the soul of nature began to refuse to lend the power of nature to the shamans, and the use of the power of the warlocks' magic began to become the power of the orcs.
mainstream
Soon, the tribe began to launch various large or small conflicts and attacks against the draenei, and believed that this act of extermination was what their ancestors wanted them to do, but Ner'zhul, who had not yet lost his mind, discovered that this was obvious.
It was a departure from the past, and began to refuse to fulfill the contract with Kil'jaeden. After Kil'jaeden quickly turned his attention to another orc, Ner'zhul's disciple-Gul'dan.
Gul'dan's almost fanatical pursuit of power and selfish nature made him the perfect puppet needed by the demons. After further confirming that the orcs were powerful enough to become enemies of the draenei, Mannoroth allowed his demonic blood to
The news spread among the orc chieftains, and then almost the entire orc tribe became bloodthirsty and warlike. As a test for his new servants and driven by his own revenge, Kil'jaeden ordered Gur
Dan led the orcs to launch a bloody massacre against the Draenei, and the climax of the entire battle was staged in Shattrath City. In the end, the orcs ended the invasion with a victory that surprised the Deceiver.
At this time, Sargeras, who had occupied the body of the second guardian Medivh, also sent a signal to Kil'jaeden, asking this complacent subordinate to pay attention to his own work and cooperate with him to kill these bloodthirsty people.
Aliens are introduced to the mainland to disrupt the order of Azeroth
So with the support of Medivh's powerful spell, a portal in the cursed land was opened, and an endless stream of orcs jumped out of it, killing the unprepared humans and their allies.
But as if destined, just as the human coalition forces were retreating steadily, two accidents occurred that led to the failure of the orc invasion. One was that Medivh was killed by his apprentice Khadgar and his childhood playmate Anduin Lor.
Sargeras was killed, and the Dark Titan's soul was unfortunately thrown into the abyss in this accident. Secondly, out of his excessive enthusiasm for the pursuit of power, Gul'dan broke away from the main force of the tribe and went to search for the Tomb of Sargeras without authorization, and ended up dead.
Not to mention the fate of death, it also led to the final defeat of the tribe.
The enraged fraudster spread his anger on Ner'zhul, who had broken the promise, and continued to torture the old shaman with various tortures, until finally Ner'zhul's body finally fell apart because he could not bear the abuse, but his soul
However, the pain of his life was retained, and he continued to endure the almost endless torture.
Finally, Kil'jaeden appeared in front of this poor soul and gave him a two-choice problem: either continue to be tortured until the destruction of the universe, or become the leader of his newly created undead army and continue to serve the Burning Legion.
, Ner'zhul chose the latter without hesitation and became the first commander of the plague army - the Lich King.
The former old shaman also chose the same method as his master, choosing Prince Arthas among humans to be his spokesperson. He resurrected the former necromancer Kel'Thuzad, and captured the magical city of Dalaran.
After stealing the summoning artifact - the Book of Medvin, Kel'Thuzad, who became a lich, relied on this book to perfectly summon Archimonde the Defiler from the void.
As the successor of Sargeras, the first thing Archimonde did when he came to Azeroth was to take revenge on these mortals - he completely destroyed the magical city of Dalaran and easily crushed Lordaeron.
Alliance, following the footsteps of humans and orcs across the ocean, came to the Western Continent of Kalimdor
Here Archimonde sensed an unprecedentedly powerful force - the World Tree. Nordrassil Defiler quickly put Kil'jaeden's battle plan behind him, because he knew that if the entire world tree was
Absorbing the energy of the tree for his own use, he will become more powerful than Sargeras
But at the same time, the three-race alliance established by the human orcs and elves blocked his progress. Although these mortals seemed so vulnerable, their belief in a last-ditch fight and their tragic disregard for death actually made the invincible Burning Legion
Can only advance slowly
After paying an extremely heavy price, Archimonde finally got his wish and stood in front of the World Tree, so much so that he didn't notice the ancient souls that began to concentrate around the World Tree. All he could think about at the moment was absorbing the World Tree.
, to gain infinite power, nothing can stop him anymore
When Archimonde climbed up the World Tree, Tyrande's husband, Archdruid Malfurion, blew the Horn of Cenarius, and countless ancient souls rose from the forest near the World Tree.
, flew towards Archimonde, and gathered into a huge flow of power. The souls rushed into Archimonde's body, triggering a huge explosion that completely destroyed Archimonde.
The defiled world tree exploded together
Since then, the Burning Legion has seemingly given up its intention to invade Azeroth, leaving only a small number of demons scattered around to continue to do evil. Its main force, led by Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, has temporarily chosen to lie dormant.
But judging from what Varimathras is doing now, it seems that the Burning Legion is starting to make moves again, and has even directly contacted the Dread Lord, who is deeply disguised. The plan this time is definitely not small!
Ragen stared at the disappearing scene in front of him, but secretly thought about how he should break away from this damn spiritual world and return to Stormwind City to report the matter to Varian.
"What do you think, Regan Knight?"
The gray figure of Varimathras gradually appeared from the void, floating in mid-air and watching Regan, his tone seemed to be a little more polite, "The great master Sargeras has long asserted that there is no such thing as this in this universe.
The order and balance of the world, no matter how hard you try, the dark side of people's hearts will always exist, and it will continue to expand. An upright soul can be corrupted in an instant, and a corrupted soul can no longer be saved..."
"It's also like what the first leader of our clan, the Dark Lord Tichondrius, said: Even if any creature has a beautiful disguise on the surface, there is an evil soul in its heart. So, as long as we instigate it a little,
This kind of evil can be mobilized. It is for this reason that the legion’s power continues to expand!”
"And now, as long as you agree to join our ranks, Lord Deceiver can let you replace the Lich King and drive the vulnerable fallen prince off the throne. You, Christine Regan, can control this
The young and energetic continent has become the new god that dominates everything!" the Fear Lord said seductively.
"Very good, another bargaining chip..." Regan smiled noncommittally, "Then do I know what will happen if I refuse your request? Will I be directly obliterated by Your Excellency?"
"Oh, no, no, no, how could I possibly kill a potential...comrade?" Varimathras denied repeatedly, but a hint of unexplainable light flashed in his eyes, "If you haven't considered everything, I
I hope you can think more about Lord Sargeras’ words after leaving the Undercity, and the door of the Burning Legion will always be open to you..."
Regen narrowed his eyes and looked at the Dread Lord with amusement, who actually showed some respect: "Although I am very curious about what can make you be so arrogant and respectful, and have such a big change in your attitude... But before that, I
I still want to leave this dark place first!"
"I'm willing to serve you, Regan Knight..."
The Dread Lord was not angry because of his rudeness. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "I believe that in the near future, you will understand the reason for this... But now it is better to return to reality and cooperate with me to complete this play!"
"
After saying that, Varimathras recited an obscure spell in his mouth, and stabbed Regan's forehead with his fingers. The knight's spirit body slowly became thinner, and then disappeared into the spiritual world.
The Dread Lord did not immediately remove his magic. He stood in the void for a long time, seeming to be listening to something and waiting for something. It was not until the entire space began to shrink due to the sudden decrease in mental power that he sighed with regret.
He took a breath and slowly disappeared into the sea of stars.
