Loken, who was sitting in Ulduar, received an alarm when the Creator's Holy Platform fell. He ejected from the throne in shock, strode to the main console of Ulduar and tried to call the monitoring equipment and check the last record of the Creator's ecology. The information below... Unfortunately, nothing was found.
After overwriting the permissions of the Creator's Holy Platform, Sarlayan immediately adopted the barrage's suggestion and erased all information related to the intruder.
However, this small trick can only slightly slow down Loken's reaction speed.
After thinking for a while, Loken temporarily put aside his doubts about detecting the authority of the Grand Guardian at the Temple of the Creator and sent an order to the Iron Force officer in the east of the Storm Peaks.
After receiving Loken's instructions, the defenders who originally aimed their troops in the direction of the Creator's engine quickly turned around and rushed towards the nearby Temple of Life without hesitation.
To be fair, Loken's reaction speed was fast enough, but Sarlayan's actions were faster than him.
When the iron defenders in the eastern part of the Storm Peaks rushed to the Temple of Life, Sharlayan had already captured the Ice Temple belonging to Hodir through a blitzkrieg without stopping.
The ice giant is Hodir's genus. Many years ago, before Hodir was recruited into Ulduar by Loken, the ice guardian had left a back-up.
He left part of his authority to Yokum, the king of the ice giants. If necessary, Yokum could sit in the Ice Temple and exercise his authority temporarily.
It's not that Hodir, who was as single-minded as Thorim, noticed Loken's betrayal in advance, it was just that he did it unintentionally.
But it was this inadvertence that provided great help to Sarlayan's plan.
In front of the main console of the Ice Temple stands a huge ice orb. According to Yokum, this is a small toy used by Hodir to create an environment suitable for ice giants to survive. It was created by Mimiron and also Hodil. The reason why Dill left the authority.
After obtaining the permission to use this ice orb, Yokum specifically asked the surprised Sarlayan if he needed to use the power of the orb.
"You still have to ask? Aim at the Temple of Life and blast its motherfucker!"
In theory, this orb is only used to change the environment.
But as long as the output mode of the orb is slightly changed, this little toy made by Mimiron can also be turned into a weapon with considerable lethality.
A dozen of the most powerful ice giants gathered in front of the ice orb. Yokum used Hodir's authority to activate the orb, and the other ice giants poured all their frost power into the orb.
The icy blue light shines brighter and brighter on the surface of the orb. Under Yokum's calibration control, a faint blue light beam shoots out from the orb.
Unfortunately, due to the unskilled operation, the first attack did not hit the target accurately, but hit an open space on the west side of the Temple of Life.
Unfortunately, the west side of the Temple of Life is the plain area where the Creator Engine is located. Some of the steel soldiers who had just stepped out of the Creator Engine were not familiar with this strange world, and they were hit by this unexpected disaster. of hits.
The good news doesn't stop there.
The Creator Engine was already at great risk of malfunction due to overuse, and the energy disturbance caused by this ice ray seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Accompanied by a mechanical whine that sounded very ominous, the Creator engine stopped completely, and Loken lost his last resort to continue to increase his troops.
The succession of bad news made Loken a little unbearable.
That's right, he had long predicted that the Iron Army would not be able to stop the joint attack of the Dragon Tribe and the Suppressing Rebellion Army.
But according to his original prediction, the collapse of the defense line would take at least half a month, which was too fast.
The sound of the Creator's engine crashing resounded throughout the Storm Cliffs. The dragons flying in the sky and fighting were the first to notice the clues, and soon informed the Great Guardian Laideng who was stationed in the central army.
Laideng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the news. He was worried about being unable to break through the enemy's defense line.
"Well done! Sarlayan did not disappoint me!"
"Boom!"
The situation was completely reversed. Laiden put aside the hesitation in his heart and turned into a golden thunder and lightning and appeared on the battlefield in person.
The powerful golden lightning made the steel soldiers with excellent electrical conductivity tremble constantly. However, the anti-revolutionary army, which was mainly made of rocks, was able to resist the power of thunder from Laideng to a certain extent through its insulation properties, allowing him to let go. Give.
"The Creator Engine has been destroyed! The enemy has lost all its backup reinforcements. The advantage is mine!"
Laiden shouted in a loud voice: "In the name of the great guardian Lai, we give an order to charge the entire army! Destroy the enemy's defenses! The Titan city of Ulduar, which was usurped by the traitor Loken, is close at hand!"
"Roar!"
Compared to mortals who have more obvious mood swings, the armies of titan creations are less susceptible to morale effects.
However, since the Forge of Will was built, newly born Titan creations will have the ability to think for themselves. Being emotionally indifferent does not mean that they have no emotional fluctuations at all.
Under this ebb and flow, the panic of the rear being lost plunged the steel army led by Biagri into unprecedented chaos. No matter how Biagri shouted, the chaotic army was no longer under his control.
At the same time, the second launch line of the Ice Orb finally hit the main entrance of the Temple of Life.
The Iron Legion, which was gathering forces to counterattack the Ice Temple, was hit hard. Along with part of the buildings of the Temple of Life, the ice edge approaching absolute zero quickly spread outwards centered on the hit point.
A large number of ice withers replaced the steel soldiers that were still active before. The ice giants who were not afraid of the severe cold took the opportunity to cover up and kill them. The ice dwarves and frost vrykul who were also extremely cold-resistant also followed closely behind.
"The overall situation has been decided."
Using the assistance of the Ice Orb, Sarlayan and Valeela boarded the weakly defended main hall of the Temple of Life, and easily killed an Iron Vrykul general who was still trying to give orders.
At this point, all the three eastern temples except the Lightning Hall have been recovered. Standing at the edge of the towering Temple of Life Hall, Sarlayan can intuitively overlook the entire battlefield situation.
The scrapping of the Creator Engine was unexpected for the Iron Legion... To be honest, Sarlayan did not expect that it would go down at this time.
Judging from the results, the destruction and shutdown of the Creator Engine became an important opportunity to change the battlefield situation.
The battlefield of Xueliu Plain, which could barely maintain a balance of power, soon decided the winner.
Seeing that the situation was over, Biagli reluctantly led the guards to retreat, trying to escape back to Ulduar to regroup.
As the chief general under Loken, Biagli knew that Loken had also arranged for an elite army to guard the campus of Ulduar, which was the place where the final battle between the two armies took place.
As for the civil war between the guardians... Biagri knows that that is not an area where he can intervene.
Chasing the defeated steel army, the counter-revolutionary army conquered the Snow Stream Plain and also recovered the rock hall belonging to Azadas.
According to the original plan, the main force of the counter-insurgency army was supposed to meet up with the partial division led by Sarlayan near the Creator Engine.
But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.
With the defeat of Biagri and the scrapping of the Creator Engine, the value of this violent arsenal that provided Loken with a large number of men and horses dropped sharply, and Laden himself was no longer needed to change the authority.
After taking the Temple of Life, Sarlayan asked Valeera to go first and explain the situation to Laiden who was stationed in front of the Ulduar gate. He himself led the three powerful tribes... No, he was the leader of the four tribes. Take advantage of the situation and attack the Creator Engine.
The fourth Titan-created race is the mechanical gnome whose authority was overwritten by Sharlayan not long ago.
Now that they are no longer restricted by Loken's guardian authority, after learning about Mimiron's experience of being imprisoned and brainwashed, the mechanical gnomes chose to join the Suppression Army without saying a word.
The frontal combat effectiveness of the mechanical gnomes is really worrying, but this does not mean that they are useless.
Every mechanical gnome is an expert in engineering. As long as they have sufficient materials and prepared drawings, these little guys can actually make magic guns that require industrial production lines in Quel'Thalas.
Although the efficiency of hand-made production is not high, but one thing is said, this is outrageous enough.
The accuracy of the improvised magic cannon is relatively poor, but it is sufficient for saturation coverage.
Under the firepower of the magic cannon, the defenders of the Creator Engine, which had lost all morale, were quickly defeated. Sarlayan successfully captured the last stronghold of Loken's forces outside Ulduar.
Lightning Hall?
Since Loken Dove occupied Ulduar, he moved his own Lightning Hall next to Ulduar.
If you want to attack Ulduar, you must first dismantle Loken's Lightning Hall.
Sarlayan was not going to get involved in this task, leaving it to Laden and Thorim, the two guardians who also wielded the power of lightning.
"Tsk~ It's a bit miserable."
After taking down the Creator Engine, Sarlayan stood in the huge pit and looked down. A large amount of black smoke rose from the pit where the engine was located, and from time to time, sudden flashes of arcane sparks could be seen.
"Jare Screw, can this thing be repaired?"
The mechanical dwarf leader who was pointed out by Sarlayan spread his hands helplessly: "I'm not sure yet. It needs detailed inspection and evaluation. We don't have that time now."
"Right."
Temporarily putting aside his focus on the Creator Engine, Sarlayan looked up at the distant Titan City of Ulduar.
"King Yokum, leave some of your men to guard the prisoners, while the others are ready. We will rush to the Ulduar Gate to meet the Great Guardian immediately."
"The moment of decisive battle is coming."
"yes!"
