Walking among the rubble and scorched earth of the Burning Steppes, Malygos in human form was as carefree as walking in a garden.
In ten thousand years, Malygos had never been in such a good mood except for the dragon eggs that were finally rescued from the red dragon. Watching the young dragons hatch out of their shells.
The Aspect Dragon was blessed by the Titans with near-eternal life.
However, the Dragon King himself still has not transcended biological instincts.
Friendship, family, love.
Responsibilities, obligations, and missions.
Under the halo, Malygos is just an old dragon of flesh and blood.
Countless times, Malygos wanted to ask Neltharion, have you forgotten our friendship against Galakrond?
Countless times, Malygos wanted to question Neltharion, have you forgotten the mission we have undertaken since we obtained the power of guardianship?
Countless times, Malygos wanted to question Neltharion, I consider you my brother, but you kill my whole family, is it interesting? ah!
However, the reality is extremely cruel.
Malygos is no match for Neltharion, and the severely damaged Blue Dragon Legion is no match for the Black Dragon Legion. The Demon Soul's conspiracy has caused the other four-color dragon kings to lose the ability to confront the Black Dragon King head-on, whether it is themselves, Or Alexstrasza, or Ysera and Nozdormu, if they meet Neltharion in a one-on-one situation, it is the best result to escape unscathed.
If we want to eradicate Neltharion, if we can't create a dead end situation where the Black Dragon King has to fight, and then gather the power of several other dragon kings to encircle and annihilate him, we can only defeat the Black Dragon Legion first, and then use the advantage of numbers to bring down the Black Dragon King. . Apart from these two methods, Malygos could not think of any other possibility.
However, the two seemingly most feasible options are indeed more difficult than the other.
Malygos couldn't even remember how many times he had simulated the battle with Neltharion in his mind. The plan with the best chance of winning was to have the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza take charge of the frontal attack, while she would cover and contain it on the flanks. Use Nozdormu to lock Neltharion's timeline and complete the kill.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. First of all, Neltharion is not a fool. He is even smarter than the other four dragon kings. It is impossible for such a large-scale plot against him to leave no trace at all. Secondly, in the War of the Ancients, due to the betrayal of the Black Dragon Legion, the remaining four-color dragon clan The legions suffered heavy losses. The black dragons gave up their missions and responsibilities. However, the red dragons, blue dragons, green dragons, and bronze dragons could not risk their lives for revenge. The reality was that while fulfilling the tasks assigned by the Titans, the four-color dragons simply could not mobilize. Use enough power to destroy the Black Dragon Legion.
The final result of the trade-off is that this hatred will last forever.
While thinking about these past events, Malygos crossed the vast land of the Burning Plains at a speed that was impossible for humans to achieve, approaching the Blackrock Tower at a speed that literally meant flying.
Yes, Malygos believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to spy on his old brother, old rival, and the lair of Neltharion, King of the Black Dragon.
The chess pieces had fallen and the situation was set. Malygos couldn't help but feel a bit of pride in his heart. What a perfect layout. Until now, even if the little black dragon noticed something was wrong, he still didn't know who was behind it. Although the Blue Dragon Legion is indeed no match for the Black Dragon Legion at this moment, the Black Dragon Legion also has its own interests and is not a mad dog that bites anyone it sees. Because of his perfect revenge plan, the Black Dragon Legion suffered heavy losses, Neltharion lost himself, and the Blue Dragon Legion stayed out of the matter and would not suffer retaliation. What a perfect script!
Although Onyxia's unreasonable and mysterious withdrawal order failed the first step of Malygos's plan to severely damage the Black Dragon Legion, traveling an army is never a simple matter. Between the forward and backward planning, the defense of Blackwing Lair There are bound to be loopholes.
What's more, his foreshadowing has been laid in the Artifact Forging Ceremony Ground. When something happens there, there will inevitably be greater turmoil in the Black Wing Lair. That is the best time for him to launch his attack.
When Malygos finished organizing his thoughts, he was already standing under the Blackstone Tower.
The majestic Black Stone Tower was originally cast from a hollow mountain. The black dragon and the fire element were engaged in an endless war to compete for this uncanny fortress. Currently, the Dark Iron Dwarves occupy the lower level of Blackstone Tower, while the black dragons occupy the upper level of Blackrock Tower. If anyone thinks that using the ability to fly to sneak in from the terrace on the top of the Blackstone Tower is a good choice, then what awaits him will be the merciless flames of the black dragon. Under the arcane eyes of Malygos, the guardian of magic and mysteries, the King of the Blue Dragons, the barrier spells laid by the Black Dragon Legion were clear and unmistakable. Even the old blue dragon couldn't help but nodded, feeling proud of the Black Dragon's magical skills in his heart. Liked it.
The Blue Dragon King's heart was tortured by hatred, but at this moment he seemed so relaxed and comfortable. Ten thousand years have passed, and a moment of waiting at this time is nothing.
In this way, Malygos waited patiently, waiting for the Scorching Canyon, a thousand kilometers to the north, to change.
While waiting, a magic wave came from the bracelet Malygos carried, which surprised the Blue Dragon King a little.
After setting up sixteen layers of anti-detection barriers, Malygos carefully activated the magic on the bracelet, and the image of an old dragon appeared in front of Malygos.
"Senagos, my old friend, I haven't received your magical communication for a long time."
Malygos smiled sincerely.
"Malygos, you seem to be in a good mood. I haven't seen you smile in a long time."
The magic image showed a slightly surprised expression.
"Yes, something good happened."
Malygos responded calmly.
"Okay, looking at your human form, I probably understand why I can't contact you using Kaodala's communication circle. Although I don't want to ruin your good mood, I have to tell you some bad news."
Senegos couldn't help but sigh.
"Tell me, you know that the worst thing happened ten thousand years ago. Now I can accept any bad news, because there is no way to make it worse."
Malygos said something unfunny in his poor sense of humor.
"My son is dead."
"Really...what!"
Malygos was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"What happened? What happened to the Broken Isles? Why didn't you ask me for help! Why!"
Malygos' tone was suppressed with anger, and she questioned her old friend in a low voice.
"A few months ago, a group of orcs arrived at the Broken Islands through the Mist Barrier and entered the Tomb of Sargeras. The Warden made a request to me to assist in the exploration, and I agreed. Then, the night elves and my son who went to explore And three other good guys never came back, and the second group of explorers brought back the remains of the night elves and my son's dragonglass."
Senegos said in a plain tone with a hint of sadness.
"The Broken Islands is where our family's tragedy began, and it is also where that disaster ended. There is no room for failure. When I return to Kaudala, I will send reinforcements to support you."
Malygos frowned.
"Don't be brave, old man. The Broken Islands don't need you. The damage that black bastard brought to the blue dragon cannot be erased in ten thousand years. Caudala is the barrier of Wyrmrest Temple, and these hundred years are our blue dragon's The dragon is responsible for guarding the Wyrmrest Holy Land. If it weren't for the Vrykul expedition twenty years ago that consumed so much of my energy, I would even want to give you some support in return."
"I do not need!"
Malygos decisively refused.
"So I don't need it either."
After a brief silence, Malygos spoke first.
"Then my old friend, why are you looking for me so urgently?"
"For my little star."
"Stellagosa?"
"Yes. Little Xingxing has inherited my bloodline and has unparalleled talent. However, his excellent physique makes his development extremely slow, which is not good."
Although Senegos didn't say it explicitly, Malygos still understood what his old friend wanted to say.
The blue dragon is the guardian of magic, and its development process is naturally inseparable from the accumulation of magic power. However, the blue dragon family has never lacked magical genius, but has suffered greatly from it. The more outstanding the young dragons are, the more likely they are to die due to out-of-control magic. There is another situation that is the other extreme. The so-called genius among geniuses, the best among blue dragons, starved to death because the magic power required for growth was too large and could not be satisfied by eating and absorbing.
"I want little Xingxing to inherit his father's dragon crystal."
"are you serious?"
Malygos sincerely cares for every blue dragonfly and cannot bear to carry out such extremely dangerous actions.
"This is her fate. If she doesn't evolve into the baby dragon form, little Xingxing will die of old age. Hahahaha..."
Although Senegos smiled heartlessly, Malygos could not laugh.
Chatting with old friends was so nourishing that Malygos was reluctant to end the magical communication.
But the news from the magic feedback reminded the Blue Dragon King that the melting pot had changed and the time to act had come.
"I understand. I will contact you again when I return to the Eye of Eternity. Now, I have some things to do."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work, my old friend, let your enemies see how terrifying the wrath of the King of Magic is!"
Malygos looked surprised again, but before he could speak, Senegos unilaterally ended the communication.
"This old bastard..."
I don’t know why, but the corners of Senegos’ eyes were a little moist.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, and opened his eyes again. The storm of arcane magic surged in Malygos's eyes.
In a flash, the Blue Dragon King had entered the gate of Black Stone Tower.
"Show me what you've been doing behind our backs, my old brother."
Malygos accelerated his sprint with a teleportation flash that was so fast that it was doubtful that his eyes were lost in speed, and his human appearance showed draconic characteristics. In less than thirty minutes, Malygos passed through the lower level of the Blackstone Tower guarded by the Dark Iron Dwarves and arrived at the battlefield buffer zone between the black dragon and the dwarves.
Malygos couldn't help but spat after killing an alert orc without mercy.
"Fallen!"
Disappearing, the Blue Dragon King's invisibility was flawless. Through the half-open stone door, Malygos entered the upper level of the Blackstone Tower guarded by orcs and dragonmen.
Slowing down the pace, the Blue Dragon King waited patiently, waiting for the Black Dragon Legion to be in chaos due to changes thousands of miles away.
"Come, let me see, my brother, what you have secretly hidden at home." (To be continued.)
