The Cenarion Circle was founded over 9,000 years ago.
In response to the sudden werewolf rebellion, Malfurion quickly summoned the night elf druids, named them after the demigod Cenarius, and established this druid organization with the purpose of protecting the balance of nature.
After thousands of years of development, the members of the Cenarion Circle are no longer limited to druids.
At the invitation of Fandral Staghelm, who ran the council on behalf of Malfurion, a large number of natural allies such as dryads, woodland guardians, elven dragons and ancient trees of wisdom joined the council.
The Cenarion Circle also played an important role in the Battle of the Quicksands thousands of years ago. The Cenarion Fortress in Silithus was established at that time. After thousands of years of sandstorms, the Cenarion Fortress continues to this day.
As an honorary noble with no real power, Sharlayan has no intention of contacting the Cenarion Circle in an official capacity in Quel'Thalas.
While Hamuul chatted animatedly with Koda Steelclaw, Sharlayan and Valeera set out again after completing supplies in the fortress.
While buying supplies at Cenarion Keep, Valeera heard some of the latest news from the front.
"Twilight's Hammer?"
On the way deep into the desert, Valeela shared the news she had just received with Sharlayan.
Sarlayan frowned and lowered his head in thought: "I remember my father once said that during the mutation in the Tomb of Sargeras, most of the Twilight Hammer clan of Cho'gall followed Gul'dan and were buried in the Devil's Tomb. hand."
"The number of Twilight Hammers who followed Cho'gall across the ocean to Kalimdor is already very small, and most of them have lost their minds under C'Thun's care. Why are there still Twilights in this desert? Hammer madman?"
Valeera followed Sarlayan's words and asked, "Could it be that Cho'gall deliberately kept all his crazy subordinates? Let them help C'Thun and the Qiraji break away from the seal?"
"Well...it's not impossible."
Influenced by Gul'dan himself, most of the warlocks he taught had cold natures and were outright egoists.
As one of Gul'dan's most valued apprentices, Cho'gall also received his true legacy in this regard.
Cho'gall can really do this by abandoning the lunatics who are no longer of use to him and letting them stay in Silithus for their final use.
"Anyway, let's go to the Twilight Hammer's camp to investigate first. Maybe we can get unexpected information from those madmen."
…
In order to avoid being hit hard by Cenarion Keep, the Twilight's Hammer camp was far away in the Crystal Valley northwest of Silithus.
Since the Twilight Hammer's numbers are small and relatively far apart, they have not done anything worthy of attention so far. The defenders of Cenarion Fortress have not taken action against them yet, but have only sent out scouts to monitor them closely.
When he arrived near the Twilight's Hammer camp, Sarlayan keenly caught some strange noises, which seemed to come from below the ground.
Raising his hand to signal Valeera to pause, Sarlayan leaned down and pressed his long ears against the yellow sand.
After awakening the dragon bloodline, Sarlayan's five senses have been greatly improved, and he can detect weak movements that many people cannot detect.
But when he calmed down and listened carefully, the whistling sound completely disappeared, and there was silence below the ground.
'illusion? '
Sarlayan, who was confused, said to Valeera beside him: "I have a bad feeling. You must watch your steps when sneaking into the camp."
"Underfoot?"
Valeela looked at Sarlayan in confusion: "Can you say goodbye to the Riddler? Just tell me clearly, what will be under your feet?"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "I can't say for sure. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Anyway, you should keep an eye on it in advance."
"Mysterious..."
Valeela rolled her eyes and went stealth in front of Sharlayan.
In fact, Sarlayan has already had some discussions with Danmaku about this matter, and the preliminary conclusion is that there may have been low-level workers escaping the seal of the Beetle Wall and starting to move under the ground.
Due to Cho'gall's tricks, the seal of the Quicksand Wall is gradually loosening. The weaker low-level insects have been able to escape from the Beetle Wall from below the ground and come to Silithus in advance to prepare for the subsequent high-level insects.
These worker insects are probably digging holes under the ground to build insect nests, but there is nothing Sarlayan can do against them at this stage.
He's not a pangolin, he can still go deep underground to find trouble with those bugs.
Before the workers dug through the ground, even though he knew there might be enemies below, Sarlayan had no way of taking action and could only make Valeera more vigilant.
Following Sharlayan, she traveled north and south and experienced many hardships. Although Valeela's level is not high, her experience in all aspects has surpassed many of her colleagues in the Backlight Blade.
By the time she escorted the night elf supply team to Silithus, Valeera's rogue level had reached 35.
Due to the very similar experience, Valeera's upgrade speed is basically the same as Sharlayan's.
She has fewer rewards than Sharlayan for killing powerful enemies by leapfrogging, but she has a lot more experience in clearing up miscellaneous items on the battlefield, accumulating little things into something.
Through the soul links that connect each other, Sharlayan can roughly confirm Valeera's location through her perspective.
So far, Valeera's infiltration has gone very smoothly. She has entered the Twilight Hammer's camp and seen some puzzling scenes.
Valli LS Leian, did you see it? "
Sarlayan: "Yeah, it's weird."
In Valeela's field of vision, a group of orcs and ogres dressed in strange clothes were kneeling on the sand to pray devoutly.
They say they are pious... In fact, their expressions can be described as fanatical.
Neither Sarlayan nor Valeela could understand the orc language, and they didn't know what these lunatics were mumbling, but they didn't mean anything nice.
Ignoring the Twilight Hammers who were "massing", Valeera quietly began to rummage through the camp, trying to find valuable clues.
While watching Valeera's vision, Sharlayan took the time to discuss with Barrage, learning from them the origin and development of the Twilight Hammer.
The Twilight Hammer was originally just a clan led by Cho'gall, mainly composed of orcs and ogres. It was under the name of the Shadow Council founded by Gul'dan. It was similar in nature to the Ravager clan that directly belonged to Gul'dan.
When Gul'dan sought death, the Stormrage clan followed him and were wiped out, while a small number of the Twilight's Hammer escaped with their chief Cho'gall.
From the time Cho'gall received contact from the Old Gods of Azeroth, the Twilight's Hammer began its transformation, transforming from a tribal clan into an inter-racial terrorist organization that worshiped the Old Gods.
In the future that Danmaku understands, the Twilight's Hammer organization will take advantage of the chaos to promote the faith of the ancient gods, absorbing members from all races in Azeroth and rapidly growing.
After Deathwing's return, the Twilight's Hammer assisted the world-destroying dragon king in causing great damage to Azeroth.
After Deathwing was killed, the arrogance of the Twilight Hammer was jointly suppressed by all countries in Azeroth, and it gradually declined.
But they did not die completely. Even when the Burning Legion returned, traces of the Twilight Hammer can still be seen active everywhere.
Just when Sarlayan was distracted, Valeera, who was focused on searching for clues, suddenly felt a chill.
She didn't have time to think deeply, so she followed her body's instinct and rolled forward subconsciously.
Although he escaped from the stealth state, he also avoided a "hand" extending from behind.
"oh?"
Someone with most of his body still hidden in the shadows made a sound of surprise, and the exposed hand soon disappeared without a trace again.
Because the hand that came and went was wearing pitch-black leather gloves, Sarlayan and Valeela were unable to obtain any useful intelligence, and they could not even see the other party's skin color.
"what?"
Valeela frowned, and when she re-entered the stealth state, she concentrated on observing her surroundings carefully.
But when Valeera was on high alert, the other party still silently came around behind her, stretched out her "black hand" and covered Valeera's mouth.
"Well!"
"Shh~"
Just when Sarlayan was about to rush to save people, a deliberately lowered voice came from Valeera's ear.
"I am not from the Twilight Hammer, but their enemy."
"I don't mean any harm. Get out of here first and let's have a good chat."
After a moment of panic, Valeera quickly regained her composure.
While being dragged away by the mysterious man, she made a vague gesture to Sarlayan.
Standing in the distance, Sarlayan finally saw the appearance of the mysterious man.
But this guy was covered in black robes. Apart from being slightly taller than Valeera, he was unable to obtain any useful information.
"Who is this guy who can actually catch Valeera out of stealth?"
