Magni's doubts did not last long, and Arthas soon told him the reason.
"I made a deal with that guy Daglan - I let him go back to his city, and he told me the weakest point in the underground cavity where the entire Molten Core is located."
Arthas pointed to the lava under the black anvil, "The end of this lava is where the Molten Core is. Soon, our water element allies will rush in here with the waves of the sea, and the magma pool below will be instantly submerged. .”
"So the black anvil has just become a decoration, right? Okay, I understand." Magni said with a sigh. He didn't expect Arthas to play such a big role.
But as far as the results are concerned, it is indeed as Alsace said, even if the black anvil is not taken away, when the water floods Darkforge City, the magma pool below will soon turn into hard rock.
Without the heat of the magma pool, an anvil alone cannot exert its full effect. This is why Ironforge's great forging anvil is also in the center of the great forge.
"After the fight is over, I will send people to move this thing away. The black iron dwarves won't need it anyway." Magni nodded. He had already anticipated that the forge near the black iron anvil would be destroyed for a long time in the future. None of them can be used.
Once Alsace said that the sea water pours into the magma pool below Darkforge City and rushes into the holy land of the fire element, then at least half of the magma pool in Darkforge City will disappear, although it may not necessarily affect the residents there. of the Dark Iron Dwarves, but it can be said to be a devastating blow to the creation of Dark Iron Dwarf weapons and other forging activities.
Looking at the gate of Darkforge City scattered with elemental shackles, broken weapons and damaged armor, Arthas took out a core surging with tidal energy and crushed it. After that, Hydraxis appeared. in front of him.
However, at this time, the water elemental duke's body was a bit smaller. It seemed that the hot and dry environment of Shadowforge City still affected the water elemental lord.
Although for elements, body size and combat power are not completely equated, an element that has lost part of its body components will definitely still be affected, just like a person who goes to the battlefield without eating enough food or bringing enough supplies.
Therefore, it is difficult for you to see water elements actively entering the lava to fight with fire elements, and it is almost impossible for fire elements who are so hot-headed to plunge into the sea.
Although the ocean and magma as environments have no self-awareness, they are all the sources of the body components of elemental creatures. If the fire element falls into the water, although it will not be extinguished immediately, it is equivalent to being beaten by the powerful water element on the other end. Had a meal.
Hydraxis disliked the environment in Shadowforge City, but he also knew that Arthas summoned it here, indicating that the final battle was approaching.
"Are you ready? Our elemental army is already gathering momentum in the bay? As long as the terrain changes and sea water pours into this underground cavity, we will have the ability to fight Ragnaros head-on."
As Hydraxis said, everyone is an element, who is afraid of whom? Do they all have greater advantages in their respective home stadiums? Although the fire element can only stay in the Molten Core, but with the help of Arthas, the water element can directly flood your hometown, so there is no need to worry. Can't beat you.
The only problem is that the Tide Hunters will not be dispatched easily. So when the water element and the fire element are fighting, the real form of the Fire Demon King still needs people to deal with it.
Originally, Hydraxis was planning to borrow Neptulon's power to delay Ragnaros. When the seawater spread further, even the Firelord would not be able to evaporate the entire bay. Even if he could, there would still be More water comes in.
However, Arthas seemed to have other plans. He said that he would work with Hydraxis to deal with Ragnaros.
"Almost? My people have placed the device in the appropriate location, and the cores of the fire element have also provided enough energy for the machine. But I still have a favor that I need you to help."
Arthas looked at Hydraxis? The water elemental Duke replied without thinking:
"you say."
"I hope that the water element can seal the Darkforge City outside the Molten Core - seawater pours into this leyline, and a large amount of deadly high-temperature steam will be instantly generated? What if all this steam pours into the Darkforge City? I’m afraid most of the residents in this city will die? Moreover, the death will be extremely miserable.”
The waves on Hydraxis rolled for a few seconds before he slowly responded, "This is a bit difficult. Before the seawater enters, our strength will be greatly weakened by the environment here, but once the seawater enters here, what you will do will happen." The situation mentioned.
And... I don't think there is any need to rescue these fallen people who were enslaved by the Fire Lord. Most of them voluntarily serve the Fire Lord and the Twilight Hammer. "
"As you said, the Dark Iron Dwarves are our enemies. They serve the evil Lord of Fire, but we cannot destroy humanity and watch the Dark Iron Dwarves become corpses that died tragically in the Steam Hell. Even if it is utilitarian, In other words, the living Dark Iron Dwarves are more useful. Otherwise, we will only get a dead city and the eternal hatred of the remaining Dark Iron Dwarves.
Now that they have only been defeated and have been betrayed by the Fire Demon King's subordinates, we don't need to push them completely to the Fire Demon King's side and create an unending situation. I think, even with the Dark Iron Dwarves, The resentful Bronzebeard clan is not willing to see such an ending. "
Magni smacked his lips, looked at the motionless Darkhearth City, and said, "Okay, although I hate these self-righteous Dark Iron dwarves who cause great trouble, but I really want to treat every Black Iron dwarf I see. Killing all the iron dwarves, still using this cruel method, even I can't agree with it——
Several centuries have passed since the War of the Three Hammers. I know that hatred will not disappear so easily, but I still want to confirm whether the Dark Iron Dwarves have been our enemies for generations because of the control of the Lord of Fire, or are they? Such is nature.
I won't take such extreme measures until I know the answer to this matter. "
After listening to Magni's narration, Arthas looked at Hydraxis with a smile on his face, "That's the reason."
As an elemental creature, Hydraxis could not quite understand the thoughts of Arthas and Magni, because the battle between elemental creatures was endless. From birth to death, they had been fighting almost all their lives.
In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the meaning of their existence.
Hydraxis would not consider such questions, there is no mercy between the elements, just as the wind will never stop pounding the mountains, the rocks will melt in the heat, and the waves will forever crash on the beaches.
This is the law, this is the rule, this is the reason why the elements exist.
But as an ally of Arthas and an ally of the Alliance, although this request was a bit troublesome, Hydraxis still agreed.
"Then let your army withdraw as far away as possible, try not to be affected, and then let the mage troops stay. This cannot be accomplished with water elements alone. We need the assistance of your mages."
"I will tell Jaina and ask her to lead the mage army to prepare." Althazar nodded in response, and he finally got a satisfactory result.
…
At the other extreme of the scorching Molten Core, in the middle of the ice-covered Dragonbone Wilds, at the top of the towering Wyrmrest Temple, Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen and the Life-Binder, is already here with Valastrasz Been waiting for some time.
The cutting cold wind did not have any impact on Valastrasz and Alexstrasza, although it seemed that one of them was only wearing a thin robe, and the other even only used armor and tulle to cover important parts. , but this does not change their nature.
Those waiting in the cold wind are not mortals, but giant dragons. Northrend's cold that can kill all living things has no impact on these creatures standing at the top of Azeroth.
However, Valastaz seems a little impatient now. Even if the cold wind cannot affect his body, this boring and long wait makes him very unhappy.
He has always been impatient. During the time when Alexstrasza took him here to wait to meet Malygos, he was relatively patient at first, but gradually, his patience became like the snowflakes flying outside the temple. , and was soon blown away without a trace by the wind.
"Your Majesty the Queen... With all due respect, how long do we have to wait? There is no movement at all now, whether it is the teleportation device of the temple or the surrounding sky. Not to mention the giant dragon, I didn't even see a vulture."
"Be patient, Valastraz. I have already sent a message to Malygos... If he really does not plan to appear in Wyrmrest Temple, then we will go to the Demonic Nexus to find him."
Alexstrasza was still patient, but in fact, there was some fluctuation in her heart. It was not that she was annoyed because Malygos broke the appointment, but that she was worried about Malygos.
——The former Malygos was a passionate, cheerful and sunny guardian. He was often the first to arrive when he received news about his brothers and sisters.
But what happened ten thousand years ago had a huge impact on him. Compared with the person he was before, he was completely different.
Paranoia, indifference and negativity are the current state of this guardian.
The two dragons waited in Wyrmrest Temple for who knows how long. Just when Valastaz finally couldn't bear the waiting and once again scolded and complained about Malygos' behavior, a strong space fluctuation caused Valastaz to Taz couldn't help but shut his mouth.
"Be respectful, dragon cub, if it weren't for Alexstrasza, I would turn you into an ice sculpture and throw you from the top of the temple!"
An indifferent voice that vaguely revealed some very disturbing emotions sounded in Valastaz's ears, followed by powerful magical fluctuations that were almost undisguised.
Valastraz's face turned a little blue. The moment Malygos appeared, he was putting pressure on him. He felt that if Alexstrasza hadn't been by his side, he might really have fallen to Malygos. That's the fate he said.
"Relax, my brother, you shouldn't be angry with a junior - we have indeed been waiting for a long time."
Alexstrasza looked at the tall male human in front of her with a messy beard and messy blue hair, showing decadence, indifference and irritability, and sighed.
When Malygos, who was in human form, heard Alexstrasza's words, a certain brilliance flashed through his arcane eyes, but he did not give any explanation for his "lateness". , but said very unpleasantly and coldly:
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, my sister. I don't think you came to me to reminisce about old times."
Alexstrasza's eyes flashed with disappointment. She took two steps forward and got closer to Malygos.
"In this case, let me tell you directly, my brave son, Valastraz, together with the mortal heroes defeated the son of Deathwing, the fallen black dragon prince Nefarian, and he brought Nefarian I still have something to say to you."
Valastraz noticed that when Alexstrasza mentioned the name "Deathwing", Malygos suddenly exuded an aura that made him uneasy, as if he was The helpless hare in the ice field seemed to be stared at by a whole pack of wolves.
Just when Malygos's anger was about to explode, the following words calmed the dragon guardian down again, but Valastraz felt that it was only a superficial calm.
Because after hearing that Nefarian was dead, Malygos hung by his side, and his originally relaxed palms suddenly clenched and then unclenched.
After listening to Alexstrasza's words, Malygos turned to look at Valastrasz, his voice still cold and ruthless, "Oh, those scions of the beast, maybe I should have strangled them all myself, just like This little red dragon does the same thing.”
Seeing that Malygos still looked indifferent, Alexstrasza winked at Valastrasz. The little red dragon took a deep breath and threw Nefarian's humanoid body on Malygos. in front of.
Before the little red dragon could speak, when he saw the son of the man with a blood feud with his own eyes, Malygos, whose expression finally changed, suddenly kicked Nefarian, who had been dead for a long time, and kicked Nefarian's body with an angry kick. It had to roll several times.
Alexstrasza watched silently and did not stop Malygos' behavior. She knew that Malygos needed to vent. Although such an approach was not in line with the identity of the Aspect Dragon, she did not intend to say anything.
Valastraz sighed when he saw Malygos's actions. No matter how much he criticized the Spellweaver's attitude, he still knew Malygos's experience and could make him do something like this. This behavior shows the extent of his hatred for Deathwing.
However, Malygos didn't seem to intend to just kick him. He looked at Nefarian's body with disgust and hatred in his eyes. The oldest guardian dragon stretched out his right hand and easily mobilized The energy of the magic net.
Valastaz suddenly realized something, but before he could stop it, everything happened.
