"Great C'Thun, the Imperial warriors are ready."
"Omniscient and almighty god, the Qiraji always fight for you."
The twin emperors Vec'niras and V'klor knelt before C'Thun.
The hall where the ancient gods live was built according to Qiraji standards, and its only feature was its huge size.
In the huge hall that could accommodate the entire main city of Ironforge, the Qiraji warriors were feverishly waiting for the gods' will.
"Bring me the essence of the Well of Souls."
C'Thun's tired but powerful voice spread through thoughts and reached the ears of every Qiraji present.
Then, C'Thun summoned four huge tentacles, entangled and twisted them together, and used his own power to build a flash portal.
"Bring me the essence of the Well of Souls."
After emphasizing the combat goal again, C'Thun closed his eyes and sank into the ground again.
Just like N'Zoth has never cared about C'Thun, C'Thun has never believed in N'Zoth.
In the ancient Battle of Quicksand, the night elves and dragons defeated the Qiraji and sealed the insect empire in the desolate underground of Silithus with a seal.
Without C'Thun, the Qiraji would slowly die in a resource-scarce situation.
But Azeroth has no ifs.
The twin emperors kept digging deep into the ground for the continuation of the empire. Then, they met the ancient god C'Thun.
Unlike N'Zoth and Yogg-Saron.
During the second coming of the Titans, C'Thun faked his death and escaped from the fate of being sealed, but the price was still huge.
Over thousands of years, C'Thun's power continued to recover, and the DEBUFF above his head also changed from -90% of all attributes to -75%, but this was not enough.
Far from enough.
The Qiraji rose because of C'Thun, and C'Thun also needed the Qiraji to serve him.
This is an equal exchange of benefits.
So far, the Titan Guardians and the Dragon Legion have not discovered that the master behind the Qiraji is none other than C'Thun, who is suspended from death. This is its huge advantage.
C'Thun will not give up easily.
Because it's not ready yet.
Even though the strength is only a quarter of what it was in its heyday, the seal set by the dragons with huge sacrifices during the War of Quicksand is not an insurmountable restriction for C'Thun.
Just because the Qiraji can't break through the seal doesn't mean C'Thun can't either.
It's just that the Old Gods didn't want to do it.
Because the seal is also a kind of protection for it. As long as it is willing, it can easily break the seal.
But there's no need because it's not ready yet, for the simple reason that it's just that.
C'Thun had no objection to N'Zoth's proposal.
Because the Well of Souls is also a tempting option for C'Thun.
If he absorbs the energy from the Well of Souls, C'Thun can at least return to the same strength as in his heyday.
This plan is very tempting.
But C'Thun doesn't believe in N'zoth. We have been enemies for tens of thousands of years, and no one knows who the other is.
So, C'Thun sent out an army of Qiraji.
It is impossible to capture the entire Well of Souls, but the essence core C'Thun is bound to be captured.
What a coincidence, N'Zos thought so too.
For all the previous arrangements, N'Zoth had actually been conveying a wrong point of view to the night elves behind the scenes.
That is, the Qiraji need to detonate the Well of Souls to break the seal and escape.
N'Zoth even made a big bet and changed the ley lines under Feralas to mislead the blue dragon Azorex to make him conclude that the energy of the Well of Souls was flowing to Silithus.
In fact, quite the opposite.
The one who really wants to blow up Feralas is not C'Thun, but N'Zoth.
The Well of Souls is a great tonic for C'Thun, and a big bomb for N'zoth to escape from the prison.
But as a mortal race, no matter why, we will oppose whatever the enemy agrees with, and we will agree with everything the enemy opposes.
N'Zoth gradually pushed the night elves and even Carlos into a blind corner of their minds.
If that doesn't work, returning all the energy from the Well of Souls to the earth will do.
There is no problem with the plan.
This would indeed solve the crisis in Feralas.
But the energy flowing into the earth will become the source of power for N'Zoth to destroy the Titan's seal.
Therefore, regarding the Well of Souls plan, the purposes of N'Zoth and C'Thun conflicted from the very beginning.
This caused the source of Carlos' confusion.
Azoregus's magic circle is effective.
After breaking the shield of the mirror world, the projection of the Well of Souls in the material world is materializing, and the huge energy blurs the definition of reality.
The Qiraji, the faceless army, and the aggregation of soul residues of the highborne elves all appeared near the Well of Souls and in Elre'Thalas under the pervading magic.
However, the faceless men's army frantically wanted to break through the layers of defense deployed by Carlos and destroy the blue dragon's magical ritual.
The Qiraji are trying one after another to enter the Well of Souls.
As a result, the Qiraji and even the Faceless Men fought against each other.
Carlos was keenly aware that something was wrong, but he didn't quite understand what was wrong.
In line with the principle that all red names are monsters, Carlos issued an order to kill all the coalition forces.
This is not a scene that a few heroes and a few elites can handle.
Neither the Faceless Men of N'Zoth nor the Qiraji of C'Thun are enemies that Carlos has encountered before.
Without fear or mercy, as an extension of the power of the Old Gods, these monsters born for killing are simply too powerful.
Even the fighting race Orcs suffered more than 3,000 casualties in just half a day.
Instead, the trolls who once defeated the Aqirs seemed to have recalled the glory of their bloodline and fought fiercely against the Qiraji.
Unfortunately, due to the disparity in numbers, the trolls cannot be the saviors this time.
"Elsorygus, how long will it take?"
"It will take at least thirty-six more hours."
The answer given by the blue dragon made Carlos very dissatisfied.
"We can't last more than a day and a half if we find ways to weaken the efficiency of the enemy's teleportation or speed up the process of magic rituals."
From the beginning, there was no so-called temptation. If it were not for the conflict between the Qiraji and the Faceless Men, Carlos even suspected that he had been defeated.
After completing the integration of Ere'Thalas, Carlos controls 50,000 coalition troops. This force, placed in Lordaeron, will be a force that can unify the entire human kingdom. But in the face of the ancient gods' foundation accumulated over thousands of years, Carlos was severely underprepared.
Whether it was a faceless man or a Qiraji, their huge size meant that ordinary swords would not be very effective, and heavy weapons were exhausted in less than four hours after the battle began.
The "elite" that Carlos once considered were just a mixed army in front of the direct troops of the Ancient God.
And because the upper elves were purged, the power of casters in Carlos' hands was seriously insufficient.
The enemy's intensity far exceeded expectations and brought the coalition led by Carlos to the brink of collapse.
In Thousand Needles Plains, after Neltharion completed the last node seal, he felt the change in Feralas, but he ignored it and changed his dragon shape to fly towards the sea. It needed to return to Deep Rock Continent. , use the Pillars of the World to complete your own layout.
At the same time, news of the Naga Siren's withdrawal reached Silithus. Amid an inspiring cry, the elven forces prepared to launch a counterattack against the zerg.
Cenarius was also keenly aware of the disharmony.
This is unreasonable.
"Fandral, don't come to Silithus, rush to Ere'Thalas with all your strength!"
Using druid magic, Lao Lu made an instinctive decision.
