Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In front of the five Titan Guardians, the pirate said that he wanted to open the cage of the elemental realm.

What's even more outrageous is that the elemental realm back then was created by Odin himself under the instruction of Hela, and the elemental monarchs imprisoned in it were personally defeated and sealed by these guys.

This is equivalent to saying in front of the jailer that he will release the most vicious prisoner.

The fact that Odin did not immediately stab this stinky pirate to death and gave him a chance to defend himself fully demonstrated the Lord of War's trust in Black.

This trust was based on the collapse of Hell, Hela's death, and C'Thun's death by the two of them. It was foreshadowed by a series of victories.

But this trust is still not enough to make Odin lose his mind and blindly support any suggestion Black makes.

From this point of view, Blake is still a little far away from "domesticating" the King of War. He must use his outstanding wisdom to continue to influence Odin to make trust become blind.

It's hard to do this.

But it's not impossible for Black.

He has gotten many people to blindly follow him, and now he wants to do it again.

But now, what he must do is to convince the five furious Titans in front of him to prevent himself from suffering some unnecessary disasters. You must know that after C'Thun's death, its cage has been repaired and vacated.

It is perfect for imprisoning such evil pirates as the Void Forerunners.

Once the Titan Guardians do this, many people will definitely applaud.

"You heard it right, I do want to release the Wind Rider Al'Akir, but this is not out of my personal desire, but to fight against the Burning Legion."

Blake, who was restrained in mid-air by the power of the three Titans, was talking.

He didn't seem to care about his current bad situation at all. As long as the three giants restraining him exerted a little force, he would suffer extreme pain.

If they had used more force, he might have been torn straight to pieces.

But the pirate's voice remained steady.

He said to Odin, who could make up his mind:

"I have done this once before. I released Neptulon, the king of the water element, and the Lord of War witnessed the entire battle in Kul Tiras.

I have proven that the Elemental Lords can be dedicated to the cause we carry out.

They really are a bunch of disorderly bastards.

But disorder means that they are born to be helpers. They will help whoever is stronger. As long as you give them a push, they can move forward in the right direction.

Neptulon can help us fight the ancient gods, why can't Al'Akir help us fight the demons?

They are elemental monarchs.

They can exert their power anywhere in the material world. This world is their home field, and demons can only be slaughtered by them here.

With all due respect, Lord of War, they can play a more useful role in large-scale wars than even the Legion of Heroes under your command. "

Blake's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said eloquently:

"Not only do I want to release Al'Akir, I also want to release Stonemother Therazane in Marathon, the earth elemental fortress in Desolace, and I want to bring the elemental army back to Azeroth.

The return of the Elemental Lord will bring Azeroth into the glorious era of elemental echo. Any race and civilization with shamanic heritage will give birth to a large number of users of elemental power in a very short period of time.

This will greatly enhance the world’s ‘risk resistance’.

The power of the magic network will also be enhanced due to the activity of the elements, and the casters will be strengthened accordingly.

This is a great plan.

I don't think you have any reason to object to it.

Everyone's purpose is the same, and dealing with the Burning Legion's incoming attack is the most important thing right now. As for the troubles that the elemental monarch's activity will bring, we can wait until the demon disaster is eliminated before making plans.

Even if we take a step back, if the elements cause trouble in the future, you will still be there.

Millions of years ago when they were strengthened by the void and flourished, you could capture them alive, and you can do the same now. In the face of a powerful enemy, allowing powerful forces to be idle is not at all in line with the wisdom of the victor. "

After Blake finished speaking, the entire throne room fell into an eerie silence.

Although the sun god Anshe knew that the stinky pirates were talking nonsense, he felt that the pirates' words had some truth to them. He looked at the chief manager Odin, who still had anger shining in his one eye.

Lord of War said:

"When Neptulon was released, I was still in a long period of torture. I was powerless to stop it. It turns out that the Tidehunter did make the right choice under your advice.

I admit that the existence of Hydraxia's water elemental army is beneficial to the world now.

But you can't transfer the experience of the water element lord to the wind rider. Al'Akir is different from Neptulon, he is an unreasonable madman! "

"Yes, Lord Odin is right!"

Setxu, the giantess of the power of chaos, nodded and said:

"I still remember that during the Lord's War, I followed the leader Lai to fight the strong wind. While the crazy wind rider was fighting us, he also sent his own Legion of Endless Wind to sneak attack on the territories of the other three elemental monarchs. .

It is not the most powerful of the Elemental Lords.

But it is definitely the most concentrated expression of the chaotic nature of elemental creatures that are inherently disordered.

I may be able to accept the reappearance of Neptulon, but I cannot trust Al'Akir. Its temper is as unpredictable as the wind, and it is very likely that it will defect to the enemy at a critical moment."

"To whom did it rebel?"

Blake rolled his eyes and asked:

"As the basis of the reality of Azeroth, Al'Akir's madness also has a bottom line. Once the world is over, they will also die.

Will the Burning Legion give up destroying the world just because they want the loyalty of a wind elemental monarch?

The demons are in awe of Sargeras to the depths of their souls. The Dark Titan wants Azeroth to fall apart. Who dares to play tricks under such an order? When we face other enemies, we may have to worry about backstabbing from Al'Akir.

But the devil.

Well, their ferocity will calm the restless wind.

The most important thing is that my ideas are based on my understanding of 'command' and 'control'. In my opinion, command is what you tell the cannon fodder to do.

And control is what you can restrict your subordinates from doing.

When it comes to guys like Al'Akir, let's not control him! We just need to be able to command it, which is easy to do in the context of a demonic infestation.

Of course, of course, I know that as creatures of order, you are tired of such uncontrolled factors, and you want to see everything under control.

So I also prepared a backup plan.

Can you please release me first? "

The pirate moved his bound body and said:

"If I want to escape from the five of you, I must be at least twice as powerful as I am now. If I want to assassinate you, I must gain at least three times more strength.

In front of you, I am like an ant that can be crushed to death easily. Why should I be so serious?

Put me down.

I will show you the source of my confidence that I can control the Sky Wall. "

Black looked at Odin and said:

"Don't you, Your Majesty the Lord of War, want to see how your most loyal think tank dares to risk his life to make this fatal suggestion in front of you?

Can you give me some confidence?

Lord Odin, I will not let you be embarrassed in front of your brothers. "

"snort"

Odin withdrew the lightning-wrapped spear of Gungnir.

He gestured to the three Titans behind him who were restraining Black. In the next moment, those lingering divine powers were withdrawn, and the pirates rolled in the air and landed on the ground.

He exaggeratedly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, took out something from his bag, and showed his hands in front of the Titans.

The eternal cage that imprisoned Wind Chaser Sunderland was levitated by Black's magic and was sent to eye level with the five giants.

The faint whisper of wind surges in this sacred hall, representing millions of years of unyielding and resistance of a tenacious element.

"This is Sunderland?"

Seth Xu, the power of chaos who had personally participated in the battle to seal Al'Akir, blinked. This giant with the face of a Vrykul woman quickly recognized the elemental breath in the prison cage.

She said in a surprised tone:

“Before we launched the attack on the Elemental Lord, Sunderland the Wind Chaser, the prince and general of the wind element, was defeated and died in the battle with the fire element.

It was precisely because of its death that the Sky Wall and the Land of Fire became unrelenting enemies.

Amazing Black Shaw, where did you find it? "

"The point is not how I found it, the point is that I have already started preparing to resurrect Sunderland with another wind elemental demigod."

Blake snapped his fingers and said to the giants in front of him:

"I am in charge of this project, everyone.

This is my 'backup'. If I release Al'Akir, but the Wind Rider still has the same bad temper and is unwilling to give his own strength to this world, then we can."

The pirates didn't say anything.

But under his gloomy expression, he made a gesture of reaching out and cutting across.

Its meaning is unclear.

He said:

"According to legend, Sunderland is a very peaceful and wise wind prince. Even millions of years later, there are still loyal ministers serving him, which shows that he still has an extremely profound influence on the Sky Wall.

If its father is ignorant, we can push it to the top.

The Skywall will return to the material world, Azeroth will be protected by the Legion of the Endless Wind, the shamans of the world will cheer for this, and our chances of winning will greatly increase.

Everyone will be satisfied, except Al'Akir, but who cares about the feelings of an old madman who can't even see the situation clearly? Do you care?

I don't care anyway! "

The pirate spread his hands and said to the Lord of War and his brothers and sisters:

"I believe that Wind Chaser will not let us down, just like I will not let you down. How about it? Everyone, can my plan still appeal to you?"

The sun god Anshe looked at his three compatriots, and he saw hesitation.

He looked at Odin again.

The anger in the one eye of the always decisive King of War has turned to appreciation and satisfaction. Obviously, this rude behavior of arbitrarily arranging the throne of an elemental monarch is very suitable for this heroic warrior.

A face-saving guy like Odin certainly believed from the bottom of his heart that as the leader of the Titan Guardians, he had enough authority to arrange such an "abolition".

He didn't even have to do it himself.

All he has to do is sit on his golden throne and make a gesture to his think tank, and the wall of the sky thousands of miles away will be changed according to his will!

That's the taste, that's right.

"very good!"

This is what Odin said about Black's plan.

The pirate also showed a satisfied smile, which was exactly what he wanted to hear, which meant that he had received the full support of the King of War and the four guards of the Forge of Origin.

"Then, there is one last thing, guardians."

Blake took back the core of the Wind Chaser, spread his hands, and said to the people in front of him:

"In order to better control the direction of the situation, and to lure Al'Akir away from his throne of the Wind God at the critical moment, I need one last thing before opening the Sky Wall.

And it is hidden somewhere in this desert.

The greatest blacksmiths in the history of the Tol'vir used the power of the wind to strengthen the weapons they forged, and as far as I know, one of these weapons was infused with Al'Akir's essence of the wind.

As a creation of the unruly wind, it destroyed a city of the Tol'vir people when it was born, setting off strong winds and sand and burying it forever under the desert.

It disappeared into history along with its forger, but the Tol'vir people have always had a tradition of remembering history. I believe that the wisest priests among them must still have preserved the whereabouts of the weapon.

I need them to open this secret to me.

I want to get it! Use this as a check and balance against Al'Akir.

But the Tol'vir are as stubborn as stones, probably because they were born of stone, and they only obey the will of their gods.

I need orders from the Sun God and the other three Guardians to get the Tol'vir to cooperate.

Also, I have a group of mechanical gnomes under my command who are committed to returning to the form of Titan creations. Their ancestors once slipped into the Forge of Origin to learn knowledge, but they did not learn the truth of Titans.

I hope you will give them a chance to return here and learn the truths they have not grasped.

This is also important to us. "

The stinky pirate thought for a while and added:

“As far as I know, the local Tol’vir people have been looking for a way to get rid of the curse of flesh and blood. Perhaps the mechanical gnomes under my command can give them a chance to realize their dreams.

Once the tol'vir shed the curse of flesh and return to their more powerful and pure form as titan-forged beings, the Forge of Origin will be better protected.

There's no harm in that for you. "

"Mechagnome?"

The sun god Anshe was stunned for a moment. He looked at his brothers and sisters and said:

"Speaking of which, I seem to remember that many years ago, the temple was invaded. There were many bold little men who dug tunnels and sneaked into the temple. They almost caused a minor crisis of energy control.

I thought Anhur melted them all.

Unexpectedly, they actually escaped. "

The other three giants also marveled at this. Of course they were bored after guarding the Hall of Origin for many years. Any little thing could be discussed for a long time.

After Odin heard Black's words, he asked:

"Is Dai Lin's change just because of"

"um, yes."

Blake nodded.

The King of War thought for a moment and said:

"Then let those magical mechanical gnomes give it a try. If they can indeed remove the curse of mortal flesh without affecting the soul, it would not be a bad thing."

"Then go ahead with your plan, Blake. We look forward to hearing good news from you."
