How did Fandral Staghelm come to the conclusion that the Qiraji would launch a war within three months? Because Old Staghelit knew this opponent too well. He was the commander-in-chief of the Quicksand Battle back then.
The Battle of Quicksand was not as simple as me joining the night elves, being knocked out, calling for help, and not being able to win. It was not a video game where you would GG if you couldn't win. It was a battle that interrupted the momentum of Kaldorei's resurgence. brutal war.
This war has been going on for a long, long time, so long that three generations of immortal races like the night elves have fought together on the battlefield.
So when the sky-blocking flying aliens began to besiege the troubled Cenarion Fortress, and when the insect tide carpet of aliens began to appear on the surface of the yellow sand of Silithus, the real night elf Zerg problem expert Fandral Staghelm already understood that after the next batch of alien swarms hatched, the real Qiraji would appear.
Yes, the aliens belong to the Qiraji tribe at all, but they do not belong to the Qiraji. They are simply the war tools of the Qiraji.
The real Qiraji are all existences that crush the night elves in terms of size and strength. Whether it is Anubisas or the large insect warriors with strong chitin shells, they all gave great power in the Quicksand War that year. The favored sons of the night elves' generation left behind indelible memories of terror, and they were terrifying beings capable of slaying giant dragons.
The Qiraji's mental magic and biological toxins, weird metamorphosis abilities and inhumane war instincts all crushed the ideals and bodies of the Night Elves of the Renaissance era to pieces.
If the barren Silithus hadn't prevented the Qiraji from getting the minerals and biomass supplements necessary for the Zerg army, I'm afraid only the resurrection of the two troll empires in ancient times could have consumed this terrifying race. .
Precisely because they had truly fought against the Qiraji, the night elves did not have any childish illusions and did not engage in any tactics of exchanging space for time.
Silithus, and Silithus alone, could not stop the Qiraji from breaking out of this desolate land filled with yellow sand, and the night elves had no future at all.
Taking a step back is the abyss, and the night elves have no choice. It is very ironic that because Archimonde invaded just four years ago, the night elves' troops on the card at this time were still brave enough to fight, trying to plunder the Qiraji worms of biomass from the lush Un'Goro Crater. The swarm branch suffered a ruthless attack from the night elf task force.
The Qiraji were not ready yet, this was the conclusion Fandral Staghelm came to after examining the biological samples taken from several insect nests.
At least the alien swarm has not yet undergone idiosyncratic mutation. Strong acid, highly toxic, explosive, bigger, harder, and faster. To evolve organs with these special abilities, the insect swarm needs to consume a lot of minerals and biomass.
In the Battle of Quicksand, the alliance between the Qiraji and the Night Elf Dragon had already exhausted all their trump cards until the end. The two camps and the three forces had no so-called hidden tactics. It was a complete battle between strategy and tactics. Ghost card.
Therefore, Fandral Staghelm is very sure that the abilities that these alien insects do not have at the moment will appear in the near future.
And that's when the Qiraji really started to attack. Three months later, he, his son and grandson will sleep together in this damn yellow sand that cannot be stained red by the blood of countless night elves.
Fandral Staghelm, who was determined to die, was prepared to take a desperate risk just because he knew himself and his enemy.
The army of millions of night elves was somewhat effective in scaring the Alliance tribes. Against the Qiraji, holding on for half a year was already a blessing from Elune.
If there were no reinforcements, reliable, massive, bringing their own rations, and willing to risk their lives, Kalimdor would be doomed.
However, the situation is very pessimistic. The tribe was suspicious of the night elves' claims, and only sent a military observation team to Silithus. They said that military affairs should not be based on one-sided words. Thrall needs to know the real situation first-hand before he can decide whether to participate in Silithus. Sri Lanka's war.
Under other circumstances, Fandral Staghelm would understand Thrall's approach. As the chief of the tribe, there is nothing wrong with his thoughts and actions.
But if the first and last opportunity is missed, once the defense line of Silithus fails, the insect tide will engulf the land of Durotan earlier than the destruction of Ashenvale.
The tribe has no hope. Theramore responded positively to the call of the night elves and went out to fully support the night elves. Jaina, as a knowledgeable archmage, seemed to be aware of the threat of the Qiraji. However, despite Theramore's size, it was only It can be said that I have good intentions.
The Eastern Kingdoms Alliance, which is truly capable of supporting the night elves, is too far away, and those compatriots who fled to the other side of the sea should not be criticized morally.
The alliance didn't count on it. So who can the night elves count on? Of course it’s the Twilight Cult! Especially the Twilight factions supported by N'Zoth and Yogg-Saron.
Growing C'Thun's lineage would be more difficult than killing the followers of N'Zoth and Yogg-Saron. Although Cho'gall usually receives a lot of care from N'Zoth, as the Archbishop of Twilight, chosen by the four gods, he believes in the principle of balance.
The Twilight Religion, which believes in the end of the world, respects C'Thun and secretly engages the Qiraji without conflict.
You, the Qiraji, are rising up to conquer the world. Doesn't it make me, the two-headed ogre archbishop, look like a loser?
The Twilight Doctrine must be realized. We are all church members and comrades. But there is a saying in whose hands the Twilight Doctrine was realized.
In the blind spot of Fandral Staghelm's sight and thinking, Cho'gall and the Twilight cultists he controlled were carrying the banner of the Old God against the servants of the Old God.
If it were just Cho'gall and his Twilight cultists, at best it would delay the time for the Qiraji to break out of the surface. Three months versus four months was nothing more than the difference between shooting and euthanasia for the night elves.
However, in the fight against C'Thun, the twin emperors of the Qiraji, Vec'niras and Vek'lor, were the real rebels.
The two co-masters of the Qiraji did not want to be emperors, and the weak C'Thun was unable to break through the mental barrier that the magic genius Veklor had built for himself and his brother Vec'niras.
It can be said that when it comes to murdering C'Thun, the dragon night elves are just trying to get away with it, and the emperors of the Qiraji Empire who are loyal to the ancient gods are the absolute main force.
Oracle Skram wants to mobilize elite forces to launch an all-out attack on Cenarion Hold. The Emperor refuses. We are not ready yet.
Princess Hahoran wants to lead the flying insect army out of the ground to harvest Feralas in the north, but the emperors don't allow it, and it won't be fun to provoke the dragon.
With each word weeping blood and every sentence heart-breaking, the two emperors worked hard for the future of the Qiraji people, adhering to only one principle - we provide all support except loyalty to the ancient god C'Thun.
Therefore, even if Cho'gall secretly blew up several underground water veins near the insect swarms, delaying the incubation process of the insect swarms, His Majesty the Emperor also maintained considerable restraint. They only strongly condemned the unfriendly behavior of the Twilight Sect and denounced Gu'gall. Garr is sabotaging the Old Gods' millennium plan.
The twin emperors did not dare to disobey C'Thun's power, but C'Thun could not expect the two supreme rulers of the Qiraji to exert any subjective initiative.
As a god, if you, C'Thun, don't perform miracles to bestow favors on the Qiraji, don't think that our two brothers are willing to fight for you.
However, Yogg-Saron and N'Zoth stood by
"Behind", whatever C'Thun wanted to do, he had to double check whether his two good brothers were causing trouble.
He was so weak that he really couldn't bear to waste any of his strength. This is not called stinginess, frugality, starting from the ancient gods.
