Little Annie is sitting on the back of her exclusive mount, the pure-blood Fire Eagle Lord Celia. At this moment, she is holding her little bear Tibbers, followed by a dozen smaller pure-blood Fire Eagles. What they are doing now is to patrol and investigate the land ravaged by the undead natural disaster in order to make early preparations for the future expedition after gathering an army of flames.
Okay, the above statement is a bit too high-sounding. Maybe no one would believe that a little girl would have such an idea.
In fact, little Annie was in a panic after her magic power returned to its full strength, and she didn't want to stay in a daze all day in the newly built palace built for her by the fire demons. So, seeing that there was really nothing to do, she called her exclusive fire hawk mount Celia, and then brought a group of those equally impressive flaming birds, and they flew out to play with a roar. As for observing enemy situation and reconnaissance intelligence? Well, that’s really just incidental, yes, it’s incidental!
Anyway, in the current Flame Canyon, Shannox and the others are working vigorously. In just a few days, they have summoned more than 3,000 fire elements, and now they are starting to prepare for the larger Flame Gate. , Anne doesn’t need to worry about it.
Little Annie, the Fire Queen, doesn't need to tell her about these trivial matters. Even when Shane Knox reported her daily situation, she wasn't willing to listen! Because when she hears those boring things, she can't help but doze off!
Therefore, she just wants to wait for them and let the fire demons make their own development plans. Then, she only needs to gather the fire army she needs as soon as possible. As for the others? Little Annie didn't want to bother with it! Managing that large area, as well as thousands of fire elements and human refugees, it would be very troublesome just thinking about it! Where can I get the comfort of going out and playing in a Firehawk?
Just like Annie is doing now, a group of more than a dozen powerful fire eagles are patrolling and flying high in the sky. Generally speaking, as long as they are not short-sighted, most of them will not come up to cause trouble! After all, after those fire eagles spread their wings, they are as huge as young dragons. If there are more than a dozen of them together, even the adult dragon will have to weigh it a little after seeing it.
But things were always a bit unexpected. Just when they were flying high above the city said to be called Stratholme, a few ungrateful gargoyles flew up to cause trouble, but the result was very happy!
Without Annie's intervention, several of the current Fire Eagle Lord Celia's men swooped down on their own, and with just a few grabbing movements, they crushed all the large bat-like evil monsters. After they died, The high-temperature flames on the Fire Eagles turned them into a pile of red stone fragments, and then they smashed down towards the city below...
While Annie's Firehawks easily dealt with the troublesome gargoyles and continued to fly towards the west at high speed, in Stratholme below, there was a Dreadlord standing on the balcony of the castle, his green eyes harboring evil intentions. He stared at the group of pure-blooded fire eagles flying past the high school.
In fact, those gargoyles who went up to die just now were the ones Balnazar deliberately arranged to explore the opponent's reality, and the result was that he was very satisfied!
"Humph! It seems that what the little bug reported yesterday was indeed not exaggerated. These flame elemental beings are really not simple. However, the stronger the better, the stronger the more useful! Haha...hahaha... I am really looking forward to the feeling of taking them all under my command." Balnazar began to laugh evilly in a low voice.
The powerful flame creatures that just flew by, with their body size comparable to that of an ordinary giant dragon, their bodies covered in scorching high-temperature flames, and their sharp beaks and claws, are simply natural weapons for aerial combat! Let's look at the powerful fiery power in their bodies. They should still have skills like searing breath, right? Tsk! That would be really perfect!
A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard. From the fire eagles flying past now, Balnazar can roughly estimate the strength of other flame creatures. In this way, he paid more attention to the plan to be implemented next. He felt that he must treat this matter carefully. Once Balnazar's plan achieves the desired results, these powerful flame creatures may all be able to obey his orders!
…
Tirisfal Glades is where the Royal City of Lordaeron used to be. Now there is no Royal City of Lordaeron here. All that is here is the ruins of Lordaeron where the undead are raging! Although the undead have long occupied this place, but these mindless undead who are still controlled by the Lich King, apart from destroying and being in a daze, can you expect them to clean up or rectify the city? Therefore, coupled with the destruction caused during the initial occupation and massacre, it is not surprising that the current King's City of Lordaeron looks almost completely in ruins!
Speaking of Tirisfal, we have to mention a person. Oh, no, he may not be a human. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call him a Titan Guardian. He is Tyr, whose full name is Tyr, the King of Order.
Over the long years, he has been silently guarding the order of this world. He is also one of the guardians of the Temple of Order. He is the guardian of the Temple of Order left by the Titans in the world of Azeroth. He is one of the six guardians of the famous Ulduar in Azeroth! Of course, that was a long time ago, and now, he has also burped.
It is said that when Tire robbed things and moved south, he heroically sacrificed his life here to protect his allies and his followers. In order to commemorate him, later generations of humans named the place where he died "Tirisfal", which means It is "The Fall of Tyr", and his artifact war hammer is said to be buried somewhere here.
In the north of Tirisfal, there is a long coastline. During the Kingdom of Lordaeron, there were many excellent large ports here. They played a vital role in the economic transportation and foreign trade of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. effect!
And now, in a small port on the hidden coast that is convenient for landing, after several days of high-speed sailing, the exploration fleet of Malfurion Stormrage of the night elf family, which has never appeared in the eastern continent, finally quietly arrived The earth has landed here.
If it were normal, no matter how remote this place was, no matter how secretive their actions were, the moment they landed, they would have been surrounded by a large group of elite soldiers from the Kingdom of Lordaeron! But now, under the sweep of the undead natural disaster, the area where the night elves landed had no living people many days ago, let alone any soldiers.
If you want to ask why the Night Elf fleet can reach the Eastern Continent with only a heavenly effort, then I can tell you responsibly: there is a profession called Druid. Each of them is the darling of nature, the biological son of the world of Azeroth! They are particularly good at farming and things related to farming, such as growing plants, and have you seen pea shooters and the like? Of course, those who can control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning are definitely indispensable. If they are provoked in a hurry, they can also transform into an eagle, a giant bear or a giant cuckoo, and they will mess with your face when they come up.
Therefore, such small things as the slow speed of the ship are not a big problem for them druids. They only need to summon a strong wind and keep blowing against the sails. As long as there are druids in the fleet, they can make the night elves' exquisite wooden ships reach the speed of modern high-speed sailing ships. A small thing like crossing the endless sea is not a big obstacle to them at all!
Actually, crossing the endless sea in several days is considered slow. There is another way to cross the east and west continents faster, and that is to read a message! Whoosh, the reading bar is full and it’s over!
Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go back and talk about the night elves, a group of long-eared violet-skinned elves who are sneaking ashore in a hidden area in northern Tirisfal!
"It's true! This earth is suffering, it is crying, it is wailing, there is something extremely evil that is constantly polluting it! What is this? Why is the earth in such pain?"
Malfurion Stormrage, who had just got off the boat, didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran to a small forest that was blackened by pollution. After observing carefully for a while, the Archdruid squatted down and stepped out of the woods. He carefully grabbed a handful of black and smelly soil from the ground, and he smelled an extremely evil aura from it.
He originally woke up from the Emerald Dream mainly because of the huge noise and the scream of pain from the earth. However, when he approached the eastern continent and prepared to land, he could not find the source of the huge noise that woke him up at that time. Therefore, they can only log in here temporarily. But what he never expected was that he would make some more unexpected discoveries here!
"Your Excellency Archdruid, even I can feel it. The forest here, the land here, they, they seem to be dying..."
Shandis Yuyue also frowned and looked at the desolate land and withered forests around them. The villages and farmland here began to become deserted, and even the farmhouses nearby became Pieces of ruins. The ground and walls were stained with dark, coagulated blood everywhere... In her opinion, the intelligent creatures here were probably massacred by some evil entity, so much so that the place became desolate!
This time when they came to the eastern continent for reconnaissance, Shandis Yuyue, as Tyrande's deputy, was immediately assigned by the Moon God Priest to lead thousands of sentry troops to follow Archdruid Malfurion. Come to the eastern continent together to investigate the situation and be responsible for protecting him at the same time.
After all, the night elves have never set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent. In order to prevent Malfurion from any unexpected danger, it is still necessary to follow the archdruid's basic guard force.
"Be careful! Enemy attack!"
When Malfurion Stormrage was about to continue sampling and observing the conditions of the forest and the earth, Shandris suddenly shouted. At the same time, she bent her bow and arrows, and together with other sentries, shot countless sharp wooden arrows into the distance. The specially-made arrows were deeply inserted into the bodies of the several attacking ghouls.
However, what puzzled Shandris Yuyue, the sentinel general, was that these monsters did not seem to be affected at all. They were still running towards them with their teeth and claws bared. How could this be possible? Look, I've become a hedgehog, how can I still run so fast?
"Tangled with fibrous roots!"
Archdruid Malfurion, who stood up silently, instantly cast Druid's unique natural spell on the ghouls in front of him. Countless green vines with spikes suddenly appeared from the ground. Emerged, and then tightly tied these ghouls inside, unable to move.
"This... is not a living thing! They... are already dead! These are... they are actually evil undead!" After taking a closer look, Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage quickly understood Come to a conclusion.
No wonder these things have been hit by countless arrows and still don’t seem to be hurting! Because they are not living creatures at all, they should be monsters that were resurrected using evil spells after the intelligent life here was killed!
This, this is simply a blasphemy against nature! It must be these evil things that have polluted the forest and almost destroyed the land!
"Shandis, you must remember that you need to shoot them in the head, or use a moon blade to cut off their heads, and destroy the vital points that control their bodies. Only in this way can we completely eliminate them! Because, these things, they are not at all They are not living beings, but monsters resurrected by evil spells. They should have died a long time ago..."
While speaking, Malfurion pulled out an arrow from the ghoul's body, and then flicked it casually. The arrow pierced deeply into the head of the ghoul, which looked ferocious and wanted to open its mouth to bite. Here, after the feather arrow sank into it, it twitched a few times and soon stopped struggling.
"Is there such an evil existence? Then let me give it a try!"
Shandis shot another arrow at the other ghoul with some disbelief. Sure enough, the other ghoul was still struggling. When she shot the second arrow at its head, it stopped moving immediately. , and then she fired several more arrows, and the remaining ghouls quickly stopped struggling.
"I also smell the smell of evil energy from it! Shandris, this is not good. Perhaps, the ten thousand years of peace will soon be broken!" Sighing, Malfurion dispersed the vine spell, leaving nothing to chance. Which ghouls slumped on the plague-blackened earth.
Malfurion was not too worried about these undead. What he was more worried about was that he smelled the familiar smell of evil energy from these polluted lands and from these resurrected undead! That was their former enemy of the night elves - the Burning Legion! Ten thousand years have passed, are they coming back again?
"So, Sir Archdruid, what kind of creature is that bird above?" While Malfurion was deep in thought, Shandris suddenly pointed at the sky and exclaimed.
Because she discovered that a group of beautiful golden giant eagles flew from west to east in the sky above. Their feathers looked like they were on fire from a distance. This creature seemed to be much more beautiful than the hippogryph. , she has never seen such a beautiful creature!
"They... no, they are not ordinary creatures, they should be fire element life. They should not appear in the world of Azeroth..." When she saw the fire eagle flying overhead, Ma Furion's thoughts became even more confusing.
Has this continent become so chaotic? He knew the golden fire eagle above, he had heard it from the Green Dragon Queen. However, shouldn’t these fire element beings have been imprisoned by the Titans long ago? Why are they now so blatantly appearing on this continent?
If you now add in the undead that pollute the earth and create death, and... the shadow of the Burning Legion behind the undead, Malfurion feels that what is happening here is definitely not simple! Undead, Burning Legion, and the element of fire! He felt that this matter must be treated with caution and the truth of the matter should be investigated as quickly as possible!
"Shandis, things are not good here. We should quickly find a hidden place to set up camp, and then send out sentries to investigate as quickly as possible, what exactly happened here?"
After pondering for a while, Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage quickly made a decision. What happened on this continent was not simple. His awakening from the Emerald Dream was definitely not just an accident. There must be something. Something terrible is about to happen, and they must find out the truth as soon as possible! It's a pity that there aren't even aboriginal creatures around here that can communicate. Otherwise, their task might be much easier...
"As you command! Your Excellency!"
…
Annie and a group of fire eagles have already started their return journey. They have been flying at high altitude for a long time. It is time to go back. Maybe they can make it in time for dinner?
Just now, they went for a short walk above the Royal City of Lordaeron that the refugees had mentioned. In that city of death, Anne once again felt the familiar atmosphere - the one who wanted to chop down the city. Her death knight! Sure enough, he hasn't been killed yet!
Anne felt that after her army of flames gathered together, she must lead the flame elements to visit here twice and deal with the death knight severely! He had let him chase and chop at him, and he had injured the little bear, so he must not be spared lightly!
"Eh? What's going on? Undead? And humans? Hey! Celia, stop, let's go down and have a look!"
While flying over a small lake in a remote mountainous area, Annie was surprised to find that in the yard outside a small wooden house below, there was actually a small group of undead attacking a big sister and an... undead? And that undead spirit is actually protecting the living person behind it? ha! The undead can actually protect the living? This thing made Anne feel very strange, so she had to go down and see what happened.
In Little Annie's opinion, aren't the undead all evil beings who only chase and eat the living? Why do I still encounter one here that can protect the living? This is really an interesting and rare thing, so Anne immediately decided that she would temporarily delay her return and go down to see the rare things for a while.
