American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 343 Monsters
"So, is this your elf's reply?" A young shaman from the Frostwolf clan opened his mouth full of fangs and looked somewhat ferocious, and said to the elf in front of him.

"The elves of Quel'Thalas will not succumb to anyone or any force. There will be no peace between us until you use some despicable means to affect the Sunwell." A high elf spoke , he fully participated in the previous meeting about the orcs, and gave strong criticism and disdain for the demands of those orcs.

And his words were also recognized by many upper elves.

"Then, let's prepare for war." The young shaman didn't care about those elves who were full of hostility and stared at him with weapons. He knew the danger when he took this task.

Maybe he will die in this mission.

But what's so scary about that?
Death is but the beginning of another journey.In other words, it was a period of new life soaked in holy light.But no matter what, he believed that the high priest and his people would make the entire Quel'Thalas cry for him.It's an honor!

"What exactly did you do to the Sunwell?" The leading elf noble obviously did not want to let the young orc shaman go, so he asked aggressively.

"What did we do to the Sunwell?" A ferocious smile appeared on the young shaman's face: "So you still don't know what we did. But soon, you should know soon."

"Pretend to be a ghost!" The elf noble was a little impatient. He wanted to arrest the orc in front of him and torture him, if he didn't get permission.His Majesty Anastarian Sunstrider issued an expulsion order against the orc shaman who sent the message.Unless the other party takes the initiative to attack, he still dare not go against Anastarian's wishes.

"See you next time, maybe you will send someone to look for us." The young Sa satisfied and said something pointedly, then turned and left the Silver Moon Forest.

Looking at the opponent's broad warrior-like back, the elf noble hesitated for a moment, but still did not give the order to take action.

……

Orc camp.

"That is to say, those elves rejected our proposal?" Ner'zhul looked at the young shaman who sent back the message, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The young shaman nodded.

"Arrogance is the greatest sin of living beings! The high priest has given them a chance, since they can't grasp it, then give them up." Ner'zhul shook his head.

He knows better than anyone else what kind of horror is brewing under the Sun Well at this time.Even though his strength has been raised to a level that shocked him under the teaching of the high priest, he still has lingering fears about that heart.

That is not the heart of an ordinary creature at all.In Ner'zhul's view, that heart may be more terrifying than the evil dragon, more like a part of God.

Even if that heart is not hostile to him, just in front of him, he can feel the energy and vitality in his body being faintly lost.And the devoured thing is that weird heart.

That is the existence called the apostle by the high priest, possessing some kind of powerful, almost rule-like power.With the hunger and thirst that that heart makes him feel, once it is stimulated and awakened in a place full of energy, it may turn that area into a barren place, or even a place of death.

It's a pity that the last chance was also given up by those elves.

……

Stratholme.

The outbreak of the plague was forcibly delayed by Uther with the holy light. Although the danger has not passed, and it is still spreading tenaciously, at least it bought a certain amount of time for the residents of the city of Stratholme.

Lordaeron's court mage and elf great magister Luo Bihua, as well as some doctors, have all devoted themselves to the research on how to solve the plague.

What is certain now is that it was not a plague that grew naturally, but was artificially created with some dangerous force at its core.And it has no effect on elves and orcs.Or it will not affect the life and health of the other party.

This energy, confirmed by the court mages, is somewhat similar to the power held by the minions of the Burning Legion.

Alonsus submitted a proposal to King Terenas of Lordaeron, suggesting that the king seek the help of Dalaran.As Dalaran, the main force against the minions of the Burning Legion, those mages may need to understand this power and be familiar with the solution.

Messengers rode back and forth on griffins, delivering King Terenas' reply to Alonsos in a short time.In the letter, Terenas told Alonsus that he had asked Dalaran for help before, but a huge change occurred in Dalaran, and for a while, no one could be appointed to help.

However, in the letter, Terenas stated that Kel'Thuzad, the chief mage of Lordaeron, would be sent over soon.He is also the mage school of Dalaran, and has a way to curb the spread of the plague.

Alonsus, who had read the letter, was not excited by the arrival of Kel'Thuzad and the so-called "good news" on the letter paper. Instead, he had a premonition that even greater troubles were coming.

Stratholme was besieged, Lordaeron was threatened by the army of orcs, there were changes in the Sunwell of the elves, and there were also changes in Dalaran.All these are connected in series, it seems that there is a black hand behind the scenes, controlling and manipulating all this.

After all, it was hard for Alonsus to believe that the forces surrounding Lordaeron would undergo major changes at almost the same time, making it difficult for him to provide aid to Lordaeron.

The other party deliberately created this isolated situation, and of course there will be a corresponding backup.

In Alonsus' view, Lordaeron is like a flying insect that has entered a spider's web. If it can't find a way to break the game, it will be stuck tightly by the spider's web and eventually become food.

The strength of the orcs was fully demonstrated in the battles and wars during this period.An ordinary orc needs at least two to three well-trained soldiers to resist it and have a chance to kill it.At least, elite orc warriors like Durotan who have received the blessing of the totem, alone, can destroy a human team with a number of dozens of people.

Even Alonsus sometimes thought that even if he relied on the strong city of Stratholme, those orcs could break through its gate at any time.But why there has not been a decent siege so far is also puzzling to Alonsus.

"At night, someone saw a phantom similar to a wild beast in the city? Was it more than one person?" Uther, who was in charge of dealing with the plague incident, just woke up when he received a news that shocked him.

"There is also a patrolling soldier among them. I brought him here, sir." The person responsible for handling the reported information for Uther said.

"Bring him in." Originally, this kind of speculation, if only one or two people saw it, it might be due to fear and darkness, and Uther didn't intend to pay attention to the news.At most, it is to appoint some soldiers to investigate and appease the restless hearts.But many people saw that there was another soldier among them, so he had to ask more questions without being distracted.

A patrolling soldier was called in. Under Uther's questioning, the other party repeated exactly what he saw.

"A beast that is tall enough for an adult and more than five meters in length?" Uther's face became serious.This size is almost different from the livestock raised by residents.But now Uther is still not sure if there is such a dangerous beast in the city.

After all, under the darkness of night, even a cat's shadow can look like a giant under the cover of light and shadow.Whether it was the residents or the soldier in front of them, what they saw was just a phantom.Either he didn't dare to step forward because of fear, or he stepped forward to investigate and found nothing.

Uther believed that soldiers had inspected the area long before the news reached him.If there is really a problem, his clerk will definitely attach the corresponding information after the news.

The current situation may still make people panic. If we leave it alone, rumors may start to spread.

After Uther figured it out, he personally led the soldiers to investigate the site of the incident. What made him look solemn was that this area did seem to have some energy residues that were opposed to the Holy Light.Although it is very faint, it can be easily overlooked if you don't look carefully.

Next, Uther went around to other places where he saw the phantom. In these places, he also vaguely detected the same energy residue. Of the five locations, only one was clean and nothing was left. Discover.

This situation is enough for Uther to take it seriously, and no longer just treat it as some kind of rumor.

Mark the place where the phantom appeared with a red circle on the map of the city, and Uther discovered a common pattern among them, that is, these areas are all near the isolation rooms of severely plague-infected people.

These places house many severely infected people who have developed physical deformations. Every day, the Holy Light priest of the church comes to baptize them with Holy Light to suppress the plague on them.

There are soldiers and at least one Holy Light priest guarding the area outside the quarantine area.With the help of the court mages, small magic barriers were built one after another.

After discovering the abnormality, Uther had no choice but to go back to the Holy Light Cathedral to deal with the affairs without getting more information. However, he has decided to go to these areas to guard these areas at night. He really wants to know, What kind of monster is that phantom?

……

Quel'Thalas.

The third day after the orc messenger left.

The energy concentration around the sun well has obviously begun to decrease, and even shows signs of being unsustainable.This made Anasterian Sunstrider and other upper-class nobles feel even more angry.

Luo Bihua, who was assigned to investigate the intelligence, even received accusations from the noble council of Quel'Thalas.

But with the [exhaustion] of the Sunwell's energy, an unimaginably huge monster finally showed its trace.It was a huge creature like a tortoise that occupied the entire Sunwell.The other party seems to be sleeping at this time, but between breaths, the surrounding majestic energy will be swallowed and absorbed into the huge body of the other party.

The Sunwell was still producing arcane energy, but all the energy it produced was swallowed up by this unknown creature.With each devouring of energy, the opponent's size will slightly increase. As the opponent's size increases, the devouring of energy, or appetite, becomes larger and larger.

At this point, Anastarian Sunstrider and other elves understood where the source of the Sunwell's energy weakness came from.

Before this monster was still in the growth stage, it couldn't swallow too much energy, so the Sunwell would still provide Quel'Thalas with arcane energy, but as the opponent swallowed more energy, the energy of the Sunwell became harder to supply. continue.In the end, the overflowing energy of the sun well is less and less, almost nothing.

Once the root cause of the problem is found, the next step is to solve the problem.

What relieved the hearts of many high elves in Anasterian was that there was not a problem with the Sunwell.As long as the tortoise-like monster occupying the energy of the Sunwell is killed, or expelled, the energy of the Sunwell will still cover the entire Quel'Thalas again.Everything will be back to normal.

"We can use magic to banish it to other planes." A high elf suggested.

"This is a good way, but the question is, don't you think it's too big? It's like a small island. It's still getting bigger!" Another high elf mage nodded in agreement, but pointed to occupy the sun Well, a monster like an island, showed him how to open a large enough giant space door.

You must know that the space of this world is covered by a thick layer of enchantment, and the space is very stable. Although the disaster ten thousand years ago shook the stability of the space, if you want to open a space that can accommodate the sun well Space doors still require a lot of processes and casting materials.As for the mages of Quel'Thalas alone, they couldn't successfully summon such a large space door after draining the magic power in their bodies.

The Sunwell is indeed a huge energy source, which can supply them with spell-casting consumption, but it's not that the energy of the Sunwell has not leaked at all, and it was squeezed out by this monster.Therefore, it is no longer possible to use the energy of the sun well to use magic recklessly, without stinging the expenditure of magic power, as in the past.

"What's more, opening a giant portal on the Sunwell is not a good omen. What if something happens and it blows up like the original Well of Eternity?" Some high elves also expressed concern.After all, according to the history of the elves, it is enough to open the space door on the arcane energy source once.Although it was an accident that time, who can guarantee that there will be no accident this time?

"Then find a way to expel or kill it first, at least not let it stay on the Sunwell anymore." Anasterian ordered swiftly.It's okay for a short time now, but as time goes by, the state of these addicted patients will not inevitably decline.

"It's a pity. We might still be able to seek help from the humans. But they don't seem to be able to spare any effort." Looking at the monster that was not easy to mess with just because of its size, a high elf sighed.

"Damn orc!"

"Damn orc!"

An angry curse, ushered in many voices of approval.
