Originally, Sharlayan had no intention of getting involved with the official forces of the Shadow Realm. He would run away directly after collecting enough resources and rescuing Bwonsamdi.
But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Now that they have entered the sight of the Winter Queen, Sarlayan plans to use this relationship to see if they can provide some help in achieving his goals.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
As the owner of Ardenweald, the Winter Queen is more familiar with this land than anyone else, and she naturally knows the people who live here very well.
Among them is the original god of death, Loa Muezala.
The Night Palace has the resources of the entire Ardenweald. If the Queen of Winter can help, Sarlayan's goal of collecting herbs and minerals will not be difficult to achieve. Maybe he can also ask the Queen of Winter about the soul steel. Refining method.
However, as the saying goes, what comes comes comes back. Sarlayan does not think that Meiye Royal Court will provide help to him unilaterally. He must also show the value of the other party's help.
Due to the death of Gorak Tur, Sarlayan and the mainstream Drust people were destined to be on opposite sides.
Although Ardenweald is huge, no one can guarantee that Sarlayan will not be exposed by the Drust scattered in the wilderness when he is collecting resources.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Instead of being passively recognized by the Drust people, it is better to use the power of the Night Palace to weaken the power of the Drust people in the Shadow Realm, so that they can be exhausted and focus on their own movements.
By the time the Drust people recovered from the Wild Hunt's crazy attack, Sarlayan had already completed his mission and fled.
He didn't believe that the Drust could break out of the Shadow Realm and run back to Azeroth to seek revenge against him.
Although Moonberry looks very young, she is actually much older than Sharlayan and has very rich life experience.
After giving Sarlayan a deep look, Yueberry asked thoughtfully, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Sarlayan shrewdly pointed out the problem in Moonberry's words: "Stop playing word games. What I ask for is not the help of 'Lord Moonberry', but the entire Charming Night Court, including the Winter Queen. "
"Hmph~"
A sly look flashed in Yueberry's eyes: "The little guy is quite cautious. Tell me, what do you have to do before you are willing to take action?"
Sarlayan smiled and explained: "I came to the Shadow Realm with three goals, two of which are to collect resources, which are easy for you to achieve."
"The third one is relatively difficult. I want to rescue an old friend from the hands of Death Loa Muezala. In this process, I may need the assistance of the Night Palace."
"Muezara?"
Yueberry's brows furrowed: "That troll nuisance? Ha~ That's a coincidence."
Moonberry pointed at the imposing Drust people below with a half-smile: "These rude barbarians are related to Muezala. By dealing with them, you are weakening Muezala's power." , it should also be helpful for you to achieve your goals, right?"
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Muezala is connected with Drust? Why?"
Yueberry spread her hands: "It's a long story, and I'll explain it to you in detail later... So, can you tell me how to break the situation?"
Sarlayan curled his lips and said, "Tsk~ You cunning little guy." '
[Despite Yueberry’s small size, he is still an experienced veteran who has lived for countless years. He is not so easy to fool, otherwise he would not be able to become the leader of the goblin clan. 】
[So what is Xiaosa’s plan to break the game? 】
"It's very simple."
Sarlayan spread his wings and flew up from the branch, transforming into a golden young dragon in front of Moonberry.
"Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted."
"Now that Drust has arrived with reinforcements, they are in a state of high morale. As long as they take away this spirit, it will be much easier to deal with them in the future."
Under Moonberry's astonished gaze, Sharlayan flapped his wings vigorously, completing stepless speed changes in a very short time, and quickly moved directly above the battlefield as if teleporting.
"Suck~"
On the way, Sarlayan tried to take a deep breath.
"hold head high!"
The crimson dragon's breath, full of life force, spurted out from the golden dragon's mouth and fell into the Drust formation very accurately.
The two forces of life and death restrain each other. Whichever side is stronger will have the upper hand in the conflict between them.
The Shadow Realm is the world of the dead, but Ardenweald is a special area in the Shadow Realm. In addition to the inherent power of death, the atmospheric environment here also contains rich power of life, which can Sharlayan provides sufficient bonuses.
Among the Drust people known to Sarlayan, only the old bear Orfa still adheres to the orthodox inheritance of the Thornspeakers and balances the two opposing forces of life and death.
The mainstream Drust people, headed by Gorak Tur, have long distorted the original beliefs of the Thornspeakers. They have left the power of life behind and concentrated on studying the more destructive power of death.
After all, they are just halfway through becoming monks, and the power of death of the Drust people is not pure. In the eyes of experts like Moonberry, their power is twisted and complicated, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance.
This is also true. There are a large number of masters on the side of death gathered in the Shadow Realm. Drust's two-legged cat skills can only make people laugh here.
Under Sarlayan's life-flame dragon breath, all the Drust people who were touched by the dragon's breath let out shrill screams.
The power of death wrapped on the surface of their souls melted quickly like snowflakes exposed to the sun, and the dragon's breath directly hurt their souls.
Due to the conflict between two opposing forces, these Drusts suffered damage several times that of a living person.
The originally high-spirited Drust people were startled by this sudden turn of events, and the tragic wails of their companions made them feel sad.
After their continuous offensive posture was interrupted by Sharlayan's dragon breath, the high morale of the Drust people quickly fell back.
The commander of the Wild Hunt did not miss this opportunity to counterattack. When Sarlayan turned around in the air and flew back to breathe dragon breath, he loudly ordered all teammates to counterattack with all their strength.
Two ultra-high-temperature dragon breaths evaporated a lot of water vapor in the shallow water area of Mengge Swamp, leaving an X-shaped black "scar" on the mud.
Thanks to the dense position of the Drusts, there were at least a hundred Drusts lying near the scar. Their souls were wailing and gradually turned into gray points of light and dissipated in the air.
After two rounds of dragon breath, Sarlayan needed time to regain his breath.
He gave up the long-range combat mode of breathing dragon's breath, folded his wings and dived towards Drust's center camp at an accelerated speed.
When there was only about 30 meters away from the ground, the well-proportioned golden dragon suddenly disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a giant rune bear with a fat butt and hair like steel needles.
"Boom!"
Sarlayan's trick of dropping a giant bear from the sky has been successful many times. The huge kinetic energy impact caused the Drust soldiers to flip over. The huge bear's butt either indirectly or directly killed at least fifty people.
The Thornspeakers also possess Druyin's ability to transform, but the animal forms they transform are extremely distorted, and there is no trace of the animal prototype at all.
This giant bear with a large number of runes engraved on its body was obvious at first glance. It must be a special form transformed by a certain Dru Yin, but both parties present felt that something was wrong.
Yueberry, who was thinking cross-legged in mid-air, expressed everyone's doubts: "When can Dru Yin transform into a dragon? Who developed this new function?"
When he first fought against the Drusts under Gorak Tur in the Blighted Realm, Sarlayan's Druid was still at a very low level and could not play much role in the battle. He mostly used his warrior abilities. Charge into battle.
In order to avoid being spotted by the Drust people, Sarlayan did not intend to change back to human form this time, and directly used Ursok's incarnation to carry it off.
"Roar!"
An improved version of the dragon's roar roared out from the giant bear's mouth. Drust, who was relatively close, suddenly lost his mind and could not sense any changes in the outside world.
Taking this opportunity, Sarlayan wielded his huge bear claw and charged left and right in the enemy formation, disrupting the Drust formation. The Wild Hunt also took the opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack.
Commander Drust, who was sitting in the center of the army, was unlucky to be caught in the giant bear that fell from the sky. The leaderless Drust army had no one to command, and soon fell into a dilemma and chaos.
Just as Sarlayan said, when morale was at its highest, he was beaten to the point of panic by the inexplicable entry of new enemies. Drust's morale fell rapidly like the stocks mentioned in the barrage, and soon reached the limit area.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
After an internal struggle for power, a temporary commander was finally selected, and the remaining 300 Drust people fled the battlefield in panic.
Seeing that the battle ended in a strange way, Moonberry descended to Sarlayan, who had not yet released his transformation, with a strange expression.
"Is this the way you want to break the situation? It's too simple and crude! It's not elegant at all!"
Sarlayan grinned indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's elegant or not, as long as it's easy to use, pragmatism is my creed."
