Azeroth’s Death Track

In the heart of the woodland in Grizzly Hills, surrounded by a lush forest, there is a huge, unimaginable tree stump standing here.

It was like the last trace left in the world of a towering tree felled by a terrible force, and this stump itself, which had become as solid as a stone through endless ages, was the size of a small town.

This huge tree stump is the most famous spectacle in the area. It is a miracle derived from the branches of the largest tree of the world planted by Staghelmet 4,500 years ago. It is said that this tree was once the same as Nordrassil. Tall, the druids respectfully call him Andashir.

Unfortunately, the Crown of Frost had already been chopped down by the druids who sensed the power of darkness, and the only thing left here was this large wooden stake called the Broken Crown of Vordrassil.

This tree stump is nearly 25 meters high, and it looks like a tall tower in the forest from a distance. The local furbolgs migrated to this tree stump at some time, and they spent unimaginable manpower and material resources to hollow out the inside of the tree stump. Then there are stairways spiraling downward one after another on the periphery. Tens of thousands of furbolgs live in Vordassil in this posture.

According to some furbolgs who escaped from Vordassil, there are some weird and sick things hidden at the bottom of the stump city, under the ground covered by dark red pool water, and the furbolgs frightened It calls it the Whispering Demon of the Underground.

But now, the local furbolgs no longer need to worry about this terrifying rumor, because in the twilight halo of the Grizzly Bear Hills, the entire Vordrassil was completely ignited by the raging flames.

Like a huge torch burning on the ground, together with those furbolgs who would rather die than leave their Holy Land, they were burned into ashes flying all over the sky... Tyrion didn't have the leisure to persuade those who had been The dark power of Yogg-Saron has completely distorted the spiritual furbolgs to return to the right path, but since they want to die heroically for their dark beliefs, there is no reason for Tyrion, who is so easy-going, to refuse their plea.

Look, Vordrassil, one of the two biggest gangrene of the Emerald Dream in the world...

In the tumbling flames of the doomsday flame reflected by the burning tree stump in front of him, Tyrion's long gray hair fluttered in the scorching air, and he whispered:

Now, I helped you solve a big problem...don't you thank me, Ms. Ysera.

If you foolishly think that you can eradicate the nightmare just by burning the carrier of this world, then I really have nothing to say...

Standing behind Tyrion, Ysera closed her eyes. This Dragon King, who never liked flames, enjoyed the rushing heat very much at this moment. The two days trapped in the dead world had already caused her to suffer from cold fear. syndrome, now staying in this scorching environment made her feel very comfortable, and she even wanted to just fall into a deep sleep.

When the flames are extinguished, among the scattered ashes, the knights of the Dark Blade will place a holy silver barrier here, which can temporarily cut off the connection between the ancient gods and the Emerald Dream.

Buckhelm on the other side explained to Ysera:

This magic circle is not omnipotent, especially in the face of the strange ancient gods, it may only last for less than a month, but it is enough for us, as long as the nightmare residue in the Emerald Dream is cleaned up , and then block the connection between Vordrassil and the Emerald Dream from the inside, then it will be difficult for the nightmare to invade the dream of the world on a large scale.

However, in the coming time, our focus of maintaining the Emerald Dream will shift from maintaining order to preventing another invasion of the nightmare.

I care more about the present than the future.

Ysera opened her eyes. After returning to the present world, she can freely sway her power again. In her emerald green snake pupils, a hint of doubt shone:

And you just said that there are two nodes between the Emerald Dream and the present world. Vordassil is the first one, so where is the other one?

Ysera's question made Tyrion frowned, he turned his head to look at the awakened, and asked in a puzzled tone:

What? After only staying in the dead world for two days, did you dig out your own brain and throw it away? How dare you ask me such an obvious question? To be honest, I'm starting to doubt that the Titans chose you At that time, their eyes were already blind...

This pungent taunt made Ysera clenched her fists subconsciously, but was stopped by the staghel. The archdruid of the Blightcaller coughed lightly, and said to Ysera in a low voice:

World Tree, Nordrassil!

What?

The awakened person's eyes widened. She looked at Staghelm and seriously suspected that the other party was joking, but seeing Staghelmet's serious expression, Ysera suddenly realized that it might be true.

The world tree of the night elves directly supports the node of the Emerald Dream in the present world, which is one of the largest passages between the Emerald Dream and the present world. Considering its importance, any druid, even the druid of the Blightcaller sect, Don't even dare to joke about this kind of issue.

And because Nordrassil was in charge of the guardian dragon king's blessing, when the green dragons investigated the root of the nightmare at that time, they always subconsciously ignored it. Blessing, theoretically it is impossible to be corrupted.

But now that I think about it, if we follow this terrifying train of thought, then all doubts about the second major eruption of Nightmare seem to have vanished at this moment. The sudden eruption of Nightmare is due to the night elves protecting themselves. Is that node on Mount Gal? Moreover, it is said that Naga was also involved in that war, and Naga has been found out to be the servant of another ancient god. They played a sinister role hidden behind the scenes in that war.

And at that moment, Archdruid Malfurion, who was most familiar with the Emerald Dream, was captured, and then the Nightmare War broke out. Is all this really just a coincidence?

Ysera was thinking about this terrible question, and her eyes became extremely sharp at this moment.

You don't really think that I want to start a war against the night elves just because I am personally dissatisfied with them?

Tyrion looked at Ysera, and the stern-faced high lord said softly:

I am indeed dissatisfied with the Kaldorei's laziness, but this is not the reason for launching the war, Ysera, I hope you understand the fact that the Dark Blade will not use war to determine the fate of a civilization just because of my will. In the future, if we want to punish a certain civilization, it means that that civilization definitely has a reason to be punished... The flesh and blood of the ancient gods took root in Nordrassil's body, if it wasn't for it to occupy the World Tree If we remove it before the main trunk, then this war that took place in the dream world will inevitably spread to the present world!

I will not allow them to break the order I have set! So Nordrassil...must be burned! Now, do you understand?

The great lord took a step forward, and the gate of the realm of death burst open before his eyes. Before stepping into that world, Tyrion looked back at the dull Ysera, and said softly:

Dark Blade's career... has always been righteous!

———————————————————

After Tyrion left, the Darkblade soldiers in the surrounding woodland also left the burning forest in a black mountain troop carrier under the command of the death knight. The flames would burn for about a day anyway, they Just keep an eye on the time and complete the work that the boss ordered.

Anyway, almost the entire Grizzly Hills has now fallen into the hands of the Cold Wind regiment commanded by Danas Trollbane. Under the blazing sky, among the flying ashes, Ysera took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the forest.

Behind her, looking silently at the burning staghelmet of Vordrassil, she suddenly asked:

Awakened, do you want to warn Kaldorei?

Ysera's footsteps faltered for a moment, she turned her head, looked at the staghelmet whose figure was somewhat blurred against the background of the raging fire, and asked softly:

That is your race, too, Staghelm, where you were born, where you grew up, your people... Now they are about to face a catastrophe, and you have heard the words of that Tyrion tyrant, we are completely This disaster can be avoided in advance!

How to avoid it?

Lu Helmet asked without answering:

Are you persuading them to voluntarily give up the World Tree? Or force Tyrande to destroy Nordrassil? As the legendary existence with the deepest relationship with the Kaldorei, great Awakened, don't you really know that tree? The status in the Kaldorei civilization? Losing that tree, what would it mean to them, can't you really think of it?

Ysera was silent. The wise queen didn't know how to answer this question, but Staghelm didn't need Ysera's answer. In the burning flames of Vordrassil, the former Cenarion Dread Rui, said in a low and vicissitudes voice:

Eternal life... I used to think that after the War of the Ancients, what the dragon kings gave Kaldorei was a precious blessing. We will have endless lives to explore the mysteries of the world, and we will be able to Maintaining the harmony of nature in a perfect dream, we will never be infected by fatigue and loss. At that time, I foolishly thought that in such a blessing, Kaldorei would undoubtedly become the pillar of Azeroth !

At that time, the Kaldorei were full of ambitions. At that time, we had no doubts about our bright future. At that time, we even had the confidence to face any challenges. However, what? Nothing... everything, everything is just vain.

Staghelmet seemed very tired, and even his voice became deeper and deeper, while the green dragon queen Ysera behind him didn't speak, she just quietly listened to Staghelmet's self-narration, and she seemed to understand... .Why did Staghelm behave so calmly towards the Darkblade Legion's decision to burn down the World Tree Nordrassil, even to the point of being cruel.

Under this tranquility, there may be a desperately strong disappointment hidden, disappointment with Kaldorei, disappointment with himself.

In the more than a year since I joined Blightcaller, my understanding of the way of nature is more than what I have accumulated in the past 1,000 years... I was being redefined before my eyes.

The deer helmet raised his fingers, a green halo flowed on his fingertips, and then quickly evolved into sharp thorns, then turned into an open flower, and finally condensed into a seed:

After I left the environment that was so lazy that it was almost as tasteless as white water, my inspiration broke out every day, and every day became fresh and fulfilling. I thought that as a druid, I need to abide by poverty, I need to be ascetic, but it’s not, it’s just a self-explanation of our hopelessly lazy nature, after I really saw the intertwining of prosperity and civilization in the world, I suddenly woke up. ..”

Eternal life is not a blessing... For the night elves who are not perfect and have all kinds of desires running in their hearts, it can only be a shackle, which traps me and everyone, even Mafa Leo, even Tyrande, even the most radical Maiev... It's all the same, it's just a beautiful illusion, but it lures us to bury our heads in the pool of undead and drink and drink, let the poison Infiltrating our souls, sinking into the hell of burnout.

Staghelm turned around, and he looked at Ysera with sad eyes. At this moment, the Green Dragon Queen didn't even dare to look directly into Staghelmet's eyes, because she also realized that maybe at the beginning, she and her sisters and brothers Blessings on a whim are not the right choice. In a sense, the Dragon Kings have given Kaldorei mortals things they shouldn't have, and these gifts have ruined an extremely advantageous civilization.

Among the Blightcaller, my best disciple is a human being. He is very young, but he has a thirst for knowledge that the night elves don't have, which makes me feel intimidated. In just one year, he has mastered the night The knowledge that the elf druids need 200 years to fully grasp... Yes, human beings only have a life span of nearly a hundred years, but their use of every day, every minute, and every second is enough to make the most diligent dark night The elves are ashamed!

It took human beings 2,800 years to create a civilization from nothing worse than the night elves, and how long did it take us to reach the same level of civilization?

The deer helmet smiled miserably:

Even on top of the gifts left by the elf empire, it took us a full 10,000 years...In less than 1,000 years, human beings have spread their footprints and civilization all over the entire continent, and what about us? ? For 10,000 years, we are still curled up beside our cradle, unwilling to take a step further!

The archdruid walked past Ysera in a desolate figure, and he said softly:

We took what we shouldn't, we took what we should have, and now, we have to pay for the time we wasted in the past... We laugh at the high elves who have been controlled by magic addiction for 7000 years , what about us? Kadorei has been controlled by another, more terrifying drug addiction for ten thousand years!

Awakened, you ask me why I didn't stop it?

Why should I prevent other people from coming to unshackle the terminally ill night elves? Do you think you can make the poisoned and hopeless Kaldorei give up the eternal life in his hands? No! They don't Yes! They'll even tear you apart! Because you're going to take from them their most important...treasure, even if it's you who handed it into their hands.

Look, just like what Tyrion said... The Dark Blade's war, at least this time, was just...
