LIVE: Azeroth

The exploration teams that headed in three different directions to the bottom of the temple made their own discoveries.

While Sharlayan was trying to find a way to reversely track the Nightmare King, Jaina, who maintained her invisibility, also led the second team to the Altar of Hakkar.

As expected, there are a large number of Atalai priests scattered around the altar. They are chanting and releasing voodoo spells around a giant egg placed in the center of the altar.

"really……"

Jaina narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the giant egg with a lot of blood-colored magic lines printed on its surface.

"Haka's egg, these cultists really still have stock."

The priests of the altar of Hakar had obviously learned that there was an enemy invasion in the temple, and they were urgently calling for the help of Hakar the Spirit Slayer.

Under the altar lay the corpses of several trolls from other clans who were dressed differently from Atalai, and their blood was injected into the giant egg by the priests of the evil god.

As more and more blood is injected, the flickering frequency of the blood-red magic patterns on the surface of the egg body is gradually accelerating.

"Ms. Jaina, I recognize the bodies."

Marion, who was sent by Valeera to assist Jaina, was also pulled into the phase space, so she didn't have to worry about being heard by the enemy when she spoke here.

"These trolls have the symbols of the Gurubashi clan tattooed on their clothing."

"Hey~" Jaina sneered and complained: "It's really the troll's usual style, Jindu and Mandokir, in order to achieve your unrealistic ambitions, you don't feel sorry for your own people sacrificing yourself. Bar?"

Jaina is about 7% sure that Haka will not respond to Atalai's call, but just in case, Jaina doesn't even plan to leave this 3% possibility to this group of deranged cultists.

"Marion, tell everyone to prepare for the assassination, and use my spell as a signal."

"Yes."

After Marion voluntarily left the phase space, Jaina continued to maintain the invisibility technique, dancing her hands in a strange casting posture and began to prepare large-scale spells.

The Atahaka Temple is located underwater in the center of the lake. Even though the intrusion of the lake is isolated by the use of waterproof building materials, this underwater temple still has a lot of water vapor.

After the experience of the trip to Draenor, Jaina became more proficient in using arcane magic to simulate the spells of the four elements.

According to different battlefield environments, she will flexibly switch element types.

At this time, the large spell she chose was the water system, or the ice system.

The gathering of a large amount of water vapor naturally aroused the suspicion of the Atalai priests. They looked around in amazement, but they still failed to find Jaina hiding in the phase space.

"Take my move, Atalai!"

A faint blue arcane aura spewed out of Jaina's eyes, which was fully charged. This is the vision that an arcanist will inevitably produce when he releases spells with all his strength.

"Polar storm!"

Just as Marion and the Backlighting Blade thieves lowered their center of gravity and prepared to take action, the temperature within the range of the Altar of Hakar suddenly began to drop sharply.

Polar Storm is Jaina's advanced spell improved from Blizzard. Its range of action is larger than Blizzard, and its power is more terrifying.

In a very short period of time, the people and things around the altar were covered with layers of frost of varying thickness under the impact of the dense ice edges falling from the sky.

"Sigh~"

Marion gasped subconsciously... It was a real breath, not a metaphor.

"This... the absolute zero that can instantly freeze everything?"

"No, not to that extent, at least not yet."

Jaina, whose eyes were glowing blue, has left the phase space, and she is still maintaining the operation of the polar storm.

"Be prepared, I can only maintain this kind of large-scale spell for a short dozen seconds, and it will depend on you next."

……

At the same time, Valeera and the others who sneaked silently into the east hall also successfully found their target.

More than a dozen Atalai trolls in relatively gorgeous clothes are arguing in the middle of the hall deep in the passage, and there are many elite guards in full armor standing behind them.

"It seems..." Valeera sneered, "The inside of this crazy cult is not monolithic either. '

In fact, this is also a matter of course.

Where there are people, there will inevitably be battles, and this principle can be applied to any world.

Just like the Atalai decision-makers in front of us.

Some people think that it is meaningless to cooperate with the Gurubashi, who has long been a bereaved dog. Instead, Atalai will be dragged down by them who are still being hunted down by the Darkspear clan and get involved in a war that does not belong to them.

Some people think that this opportunity should be taken to help Gurubashi return to the throne. They believe that Jin'do and Mandokir will fulfill their agreement and give Atalai, who has been hiding in the dark for many years, a legitimate missionary status.

The differences of opinion between different factions are very serious, and even at the critical point of the invasion of foreign enemies, they are still quarreling endlessly.

It's also a good thing Sharlayan didn't tell the Backlighting Blade the name of the prophet Jammalan.

Today's Jammalan is just one of the high-level members of Atalai, and he is far from being able to keep his word.

Valeera hid in the dark and observed for a while. She was surprised to find that the high-ranking Atalai actually adopted a parliamentary system, where five members of parliament with power jointly discussed and decided the policy guidelines of the clan.

Perhaps this will allow representatives of different factions to express their views, but history has proven countless times that the parliamentary system can only guarantee a lower limit.

Once the members of the parliament disagree with each other, this system will cause serious internal friction, resulting in extremely low efficiency of governance.

The former Quel'Thalas is a typical example.

In Valeera's view, Atalay urgently needs a strong ruler who can dictate the world, and the parliamentary system is not suitable for the current Atalay.

However, Valeera has no obligation to worry about the enemy. The more chaotic the top management of Atalai, the better for her.

Only three of the five animal skin chairs in the center of the administrative hall were occupied, and the other two councilors should have personally led troops to attack.

Sharlayan is right, as long as all the witnesses are killed, it will be a perfect assassination. '

'As long as no one sees me attacking mortals in violation of the rules, I don't believe the Zandalari can bury their eyeliner here. '

After making up her mind, Valeera no longer hesitated.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three Atalai councilors were still fussing with each other, she silently teleported behind the loudest and most burly councilor.

In a world full of disasters like Azeroth, if you want to become the leader of an exiled force, it is not enough to rely on words alone. You must have enough strength to subdue those called arrogant soldiers.

At the same time that Valeera handed out the dagger, the veteran Atalai councilor instinctively sensed the danger, and subconsciously wanted to roll to the side to avoid it.

"Too late, goodbye."

"Uh!"

Even though he could sense the approaching threat, due to the gap in strength and realm between the two, this Atalai councilor whose name was not yet known still could not escape the fate of dying, and was stabbed through the heart by Valeera from behind.

"Ogom?! Damn it!"

Another congressman, who seemed to be a spellcaster, immediately took a dead wood staff from his entourage and planned to fight back.

But before he could utter the second incantation, the shadow energy throwing knife thrown by Valeera had pierced through his skull at supersonic speed.

The last councilor was "sense of business" and was trying to flee the scene while Ogom was being attacked.

However, there is no such thing as Uzuki.

"what!!"

"There are thorns... um!"

Backlighting Blade, who followed closely behind Valeera, skillfully found suitable targets one by one. The Atalai Administration Hall, which was originally full of discussions, immediately turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Whether it was mental calculation or not, none of the nearly a hundred Atalai officials and high-level guards present escaped from the hall, and the moss-green ground was soon stained dark red by the blood spilled from their corpses.

There seemed to be some kind of linkage spell between the five heretic councilors. When the rear was attacked, the other two councilors who had just led troops to the middle division to search for the whereabouts of the enemy were shocked at the same time.

Suddenly encountering the enemy's beheading attack, the two congressmen reacted completely differently,

"How is that possible!" The member of parliament who was stronger and obviously a melee professional shouted angrily: "Quick! Everyone follow me and return immediately!"

The eyes of another well-mannered member flickered, but he also took action without hesitation.

"Priest! Contact the Nightmare King immediately and let him wake up Nemesis to help us!"

"Brothers! The three councilors of Ogom, Lokas and Pandu have unfortunately died. As long as we can successfully defeat the enemy's attack, Atalai will no longer be caught in endless internal strife!"

"I! Jammalan, I will definitely lead Atalai back to the top, I swear in the name of my god Hakar!"
