For the highly motivated Suppression Army, the Lightning Hall without Loken himself was not difficult at all.
It only took Laiden less than a day to successfully break through the last defensive stronghold before entering Ulduar.
At this point, all guardian temples have been brought under the control of the Anti-Rebel Army.
The Creator Engine also crashed due to overload usage not long ago, and Loken's only trump card was Ulduar, who was surrounded by the Rebellion Legion.
When the Titan-created soldiers of the Suppressing Rebellion Army began to cheer for the upcoming victory, the reunited Laiden, Sharlayan and others were not so optimistic.
The majestic Ulduar Gate stands in front of Sarlayan. Because it was built for the size of titan creations, when Sarlayan remained in mortal form, he stood in front of this gate like a tiny bird. Ant.
When Laden personally led troops to attack the Hall of Lightning, Sharlayan was still compiling the latest battle reports from the front lines of Vol'dun and Zul'Drak.
The offensive and defensive battle between the high elves and the Dakkari trolls around the Drak'saron Fortress has temporarily entered a tug-of-war stage.
According to the discussions and predictions between Stellagosa and Sarlayan, if the trolls are unable to open up the situation, Tokali, the mother of the direhorns, will inevitably take on the important task of tearing up the battle line personally.
The progress on Onyxia's side was also very smooth. After some joint diplomatic efforts, she successfully pulled Akunda and Jibre to the opposing camp of Zandalari.
Akunda's position did not go beyond Sarlayan's expectations. After all, the priests who betrayed Akunda were indeed from Zandalari.
Sharlayan was somewhat surprised by Gible's defection to Zandalar, but after listening to Onyxia's detailed report, he felt that this development was completely reasonable.
"This means that the agency's calculations were too clever, and it cost you your life."
Sarlayan said to Valeera with some emotion: "As the saying goes, people who calculate others will always calculate them. I should also take a warning from this."
From Zandalari's standpoint, it is a normal operation to suppress those Loa that are not completely dependent on them in order to promote their direct Loa.
But since you calculated against others based on your own interests, you should certainly bear the consequences.
Akunda and Jibur are both Loa who are outside the core circle of Zandalari. Compared with Lazan, Paku, Gonk and Tokali, who are rooted in Hongmiao, their importance is far less.
For Loa, believers are like a limited resource. The more people believe in other schools, the fewer believers he can control.
After all, not every Loa can be as open-minded as the snake god Setalis.
Due to the lack of actual evidence, Gibral, who was dubious about Akunda's claims, has not yet broken his heart and is completely hostile to Zandalari.
But for Sarlayan's plan, it was enough for him to have this skeptical attitude.
Neither the foxmen nor the snakemen had the outrageous idea of counterattacking Zuldazar. Zandalari had the strength of a large number of loa, but any normal person knew that this was impossible.
The resources of the Voldun Desert are extremely poor. In order to allow the tribesmen to live a better life and deal with a series of hidden dangers in the desert, the fox and snake people will naturally turn their attention to the Zandalari Empire. Nazmir Swamp.
After years of eradication, the Zandalari trolls took over the southern region of Nazmir, bordering Zuldazar.
However, due to the existence of the Blood God G'huun, Zandalar's pioneering team did not dare to get too close to the Heart of Darkness, and there was almost no development of the northern area of the Heart of Darkness.
With the help of Bwonsamdi, the mole, the foxmen and snakemen marched into the northwest of Nazmir without any difficulty.
With the joint development of oil resources by Quel'Thalas and the Goblin Hotsand Consortium, Onyxia has long recognized the importance of this fossil energy, and she has set her sights on the areas bordering Vol'ton and Nazmir. Surgayin open-pit oil field.
Zandalari's civilization is very advanced, but their technology tree has nothing to do with oil. This open-air rich oil field has been allowed to lie idle for thousands of years. At most, the crude oil is used as kerosene, which is a waste of natural resources.
After Onyxia's explanation, although the foxes and snakemen still don't know what oil can be used for, they at least know that this stuff can be sold at a high price in Quel'Thalas in exchange for racial development. Other resources required.
Under the premise of being profitable, the foxmen and snakemen with the support of Akunda and Jibur finally began to boldly enter Nazmir.
Under Bwonsamdi's selective blindness, the Zandalari trolls, who were busy dealing with the blood trolls' counterattack in southern Nazmir, did not know that other races were involved in the forbidden Nazmir swamp. Come in.
Putting away Onyxia's detailed report, Sarlayan's lips curved into a sneer.
"Let the bullets fly for a while. I want to see if Zandalari has any extra energy to intervene in affairs outside the island when they learn that there is a fire in their backyard."
"Zul, you like to engage in proxy wars, right? OK, I'll play with you, so you don't end up getting too angry and overturning the table."
…
The matters of Zandalar and Zul'Drak were temporarily put aside. With Laden returning from the Hall of Lightning, the final battle to recapture Ulduar was finally put on the agenda.
Although they have left Ulduar for many years, Laden, Azadas and Thorim still remember the regional layout of Ulduar.
Generally speaking, the extremely vast Titan City Ulduar can be divided into four major regions.
As soon as they entered the gate, what the anti-revolutionary army needed to face directly was the city defense and training camp of Odu'er, commonly known as the Grand Campus.
During the day when they came to conquer the Lightning Hall, others were not idle either.
The earth spirit scouts who are good at digging holes quietly sneaked into the city of Ulduar and collected some intelligence.
As expected, Loken deployed all the remaining elite troops in the campus, under the unified control of General Biagri, who had fled back to Ulduar in embarrassment.
If they can break through the blockade of the massive Titan creation army, Sarlayan and his party can enter the second area, which is the Ulduar antechamber at the entrance.
The front hall has two important facilities, namely the archives and the observatory.
The Archives is used to record the history of the development of Azeroth. The platinum discs obtained by Tire and Azadas came from the Archives.
The observatory is a signal transmitting platform used to contact observers Olgalon, and it is also responsible for the task of stargazing as the name implies.
Only by breaking through the defense of the outer hall can one enter the core inner hall area of Ulduar and enter the Guardian Hall at the entrance.
All the guardians have their own area in the inner hall. If nothing goes wrong, Loken should personally lead Vezax and other guardians in the inner hall to stop Laiden and others who have conquered all the way here.
The final area is the Forbidden Lands of Ulduar, where Yogg-Saron's Cage is located.
If you want to re-strengthen Yogg-Saron's seal, you must first break through the first three areas of Ulduar, and this is obviously not an easy task.
Before the official march, Sarlayan, Laideng and others made a strategy plan in advance.
The miscellaneous troops in the main campus will be left to our own soldiers to handle. As long as they can be restrained and these Loken's lackeys are not allowed to interfere with the subsequent battle.
The specific situation in the front hall and the inner hall is unclear. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Sarlayan suggested that after entering the front hall, he should spend some time to rule out the possibility of ambushes in the archives and observatory. Laideng also agreed with this.
"As for the inner hall..."
Sarlayan said with a serious expression: "After entering this area, the real bayonet will see the red."
"It is very likely that we will face a joint attack from multiple guardians at the same time as soon as we enter the door. We must be prepared in advance."
The decisive battle in the inner hall is the key among the keys and must not be missed.
The personnel distribution for this battle has been arranged in advance as early as Wintergrasp, and there is no need to elaborate again at this time.
"winter!"
Laiteng slammed the conference table on the temporary mound set up by Azadas: "This is the plan. Is there any part that you don't understand? You must put it forward before the war begins."
Since Sarlayan used as simple a word as possible, the whole plan didn't sound difficult to understand.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Laideng said to Elonaya, Alkavon and others with a solemn expression: "The battle command of the Grand Campus will be left to you. I have only one request. You cannot retreat and you must be entangled. Those stubborn lackeys of the ancient gods!"
Elonaya and other high-level stone giants hurriedly stood up and expressed their stance: "Yes! Great Guardian, we will definitely live up to our mission!"
"very good."
Laiden took a deep breath and looked deeply at the door of Ulduar, which was still tightly closed.
"Everyone, please go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, the Ulduar attack battle will officially begin."
