Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Seat of the War Lord, the absolute holy place in Maldraxxus, a war country.

According to the legends of the lichs in the Ritual Chamber responsible for preserving historical documents in the Five Mysteries, it was here that the great Eternal Warlord created the first marquises of the Five Secret Courts, and transferred his five powers for war. understanding given to his creations.

That was also the prototype of the birth of the Five Great Secret Academy.

In addition to its symbolic significance, the seat of the Lord of War, which has been covered in dust, has a more practical significance.

This was once a war fortress used by the War Lord to rule Maldraxxus. Not only did it have psychic gates to various areas of Maldraxxus, it even had a war core that could directly rule this land.

The so-called "control" means literally.

When Black first came to Maldraxxus, he told General Draven that this land that breeds endless strife is "alive" and it has obviously been given some unique characteristics by the war master in the endless era. strength.

Many souls living in Maldraxxus can feel the will of this land, but they can only sense but cannot communicate, let alone control.

And the Seat of the Lord of War is the ultimate answer to this question.

"Before he left here and rushed to his own destiny, he left all his most precious power in his throne."

When Blake was the first to step into the gloomy military master's seat, the evil god spoke eloquently to the marquis and barons in the five secret chambers behind him:

"Although He didn't say much when I saw Him in Torghast Tower of Sinful Souls, after I actually set foot on His territory, I guessed that He wanted me to be handed over to His successor. or something.”

"successor?"

Marquis Sindani said in a strange tone while feeling the death energy in the War Lord's Seat that was so active that the Lich's soul fire was boiling.

"You mean that the supreme warrior master foresaw his own fall? How is this possible? All the demigods in the entire Shadow Kingdom know that the Eternal One is the foundation of a kingdom's existence.

It was not the Kingdom of Death that gave birth to the Eternals, but the Eternals created the Kingdom of Death. Maldraxxus is the evolution of the power of the Lord of War. Once the Lord of War falls, this land will also be burned.

There is no such thing as an eternal successor! "

"Normally speaking, this is indeed the case."

Blake did not argue. He just held the rune sword that opened the Soldier's Seat and strode towards the front of the mysterious palace of the dark Soldier's Seat.

As he walked, he said:

“But the secrets of the gods can only be seen by the gods. Maldraxxus will indeed perish due to the death of its war master, but what if it is not a fall but just a replacement of power?

Well, you don't have a godhead, so you can't understand the true form of the existence of these death kingdoms. As a god, I can't directly answer the mystery of this 'divine power' to you.

I can only tell you that the Godhead of the Eternal One was designed in advance by the First Born. It is a kind of 'authority' that can be replaced with each other under extreme conditions.

Well, you may not understand this, but you don’t need to understand it.

As long as you do what I say, I can guarantee that you will get a new war leader and you will not see Maldraxxus collapse before your eyes.

But before that, the successor of the Soldier Master must learn to manipulate the strongest power left behind by the Soldier Master, and prove to the Soldier Master with a great victory that he has the ability to take over the terrible responsibility he left behind. "

As he spoke, Blake walked to the front of the inner palace of the Soldier Lord's Seat, stopped at the edge of a pentagonal platform, stretched out his hand to disperse the rising mist of death surrounding his eyes, and revealed the Soldier Lord sculpture hidden in the darkness. In front of the five marquises and less than ten barons as well as onlookers from Azeroth.

The statue of the Soldier Lord in front of everyone is almost exactly the same as the statue carved from an entire mountain at the Soldier Lord's Seat where they are currently located.

But it is definitely not just a simple stone sculpture.

Because in the gaze of the five marquises, they could clearly feel a faint gaze coming from the sculpture of the soldier leader that was missing many parts in front of them.

"It's alive."

Blake admired the sculpture in front of him, and casually placed the rune sword with the mark of the five great mysteries on the altar in front of the stone statue. As the rune sword levitated, the death energy on the statue immediately became active.

The statue's eyes were lit, and the remaining will from the soldier master was activated.

"Each of the five secret courtyards keeps a relic of the Soldier Master. Put them up! You will be able to see the message the Soldier Master left for you."

Lord Evil God took a step aside and made a "please" gesture to the five marquises like a bystander and witness.

The five marquises looked at each other, and in the end Laohou was the first to step forward and received a complex and complex blue gauntlet dotted with white keels from Baron Caixus.

He held up the gauntlet with both hands. Under the pull of the death energy, the soldier's gauntlet quickly levitated and finally clicked onto the right arm of the statue.

The moment the arm armor returned to its position, the cold power of death immediately attached to it, lighting up the eyes of the dragon bone shoulder armor, and letting a dark green aura surround the soldier master's right arm.

The statue of the warrior master exuded a fierce fighting spirit, just like the entire war habit of Maldraxxus was restored on the statue.

Fenner was the second to step forward.

The Queen of Creation put her hands on the altar with a pair of iron gauntlets she found from Gamal's secret treasure house, and the Master of War's creation gauntlets were also pulled back to the hands of the statue.

The moment the gauntlets were closed, two mysterious death talisman formations loomed outside the arms of the soldier, representing his supreme control over the art of channeling and creation.

Then Kargas Blade Fist stepped forward and presented the seal ring of the "Seal of the War Lord" collected by the Sharp Eye Academy. The ring between the tangible and the intangible returned to the middle finger of his right hand, and immediately gathered the energy that froze everything and tore it apart. The aura of death that shattered everything shrouded the soldier master's middle finger into a cold light that was spitting out endlessly like a dagger.

It is said that that is the most powerful weapon of the War Master.

emmmm

Blake, who witnessed all this, looked at the middle finger of the right hand of the soldier master sculpture with strange eyes. So, is the old man's most powerful skill actually raising his middle finger towards the enemy?

Well, what a crooked old guy.

Marquise Wither stepped forward for the fourth time.

A set of blue-black psychic robes with gold trim was taken out of the box in the hand of the Potion Baron. After unfolding it for a moment, the robes were blown by the wind of death and enveloped the sculpture.

The moment the treasure robes were added to the body, the entire Maldraxxus outside the War Lord's seat echoed with the sound of gloomy and whistling wind. The transition between night and day was like the flying robes of the War Lord when he walked on the earth.

In one thought, everything changes.

This made Blake nod slightly, well, now he finally has a bit of the grace of the Eternal. The Winter Queen of Arden Fairyland is really too weak and has no majesty at all.

The leader of the army in his heyday should indeed be the second most capable guy among the Eternals after Zoval. As for the great emperor who is good at showing off, there are no tigers in the mountain, and the monkey is the king.

Finally, there is Marquis Sindani.

The Lich Marquisess caressed the psychic scepter that she had held for many years with a look of reluctance. Handing over this thing meant that Marquis Sindani lost the qualification to slowly explore the ultimate secret of Maldraxxus.

For a greedy lich, this would be worse than killing her.

But she finally glanced at Blake and remembered the deal she had made with the evil god. In the end, Marquis Sindani made a choice. Under the gazes of the other four marquises, she raised the military scepter in her hand high.

The necromancer's scepter with a simple and elegant shape, decorated with the skull of a double-faced spirit, flew into the left hand of the sculpture, and a round of green necromancy crystal suddenly floated on the top of the scepter.

The next moment, the sculpture of the soldier master seemed to come to life completely.

The five marquis and their barons felt the breath from the Eternal being released at the same time, causing them to stagger back.

Only Blake stood there as leisurely as the breeze, and still had enough energy to pull Fenna and Dean Lanyue to his side, so that they would not be blown away by the bad old man's divine aura.

"Well"

A distant and low groan sounded in the dark and cold Soldier Lord's seat, like a ghost from a distant hell taking its first breath of life again today.

The sculpture wearing a full "Soldier Master Suit", shaped by the power of the godhead, truly became the reflection of the all-powerful old Eternal Man.

He has weird undead horns and a huge white beard. He is hunched over and looking around with a psychic staff.

Finally, His eyes fell on Blake.

"I should have returned to Maldraxxus at this moment."

The bad old man smiled at Blake and said in the tired voice of a charm engraver:

"This was all planned. Zoval thought he could trap his ancient brothers. However, I also have my power. I wanted to escape at this moment and return to my home after understanding the evil plan of my brothers. realm, commanding my legions to carry out my duties throughout the Shadowlands.

Just like the one who once commanded the four great kingdoms and expelled Zoval.

But after meeting you, my magical alien friend, I have realized that I may have a better choice.

Then the previous plan was cancelled!

I will continue to stay in my cage and be your last foreign aid in this war. Seeing you easily unite the five secret houses I left behind makes me believe that you have a stronger leader than me. force.

I would like to be your war pioneer.

Please use my power wisely and lead Maldraxxus to victory.

My marquises, as the commander of the army, I give you the last order! "

At this moment, the marquises of the five major secret courtyards all lost control of their bodies. Including Fenna, who had taken over the Creation Secret Institute, they all knelt on the ground, waiting for the Creator's instructions.

As for the barons.

They had already fallen to their knees when the soldier master's will appeared, and they could not even lift their heads. The Eternal Creator’s control over the creatures he created is so outrageous

There is simply no solution.

"The man in front of you will become your temporary leader!"

The soldier’s will is announced:

"You must obey His command as you obey me. My rule over Maldraxxus is ended.

The Silent One and Lord Moonshadow, Black Shaw, will serve as guardians of Maldraxxus and the Five Mysteries until the next warlord establishes his own rule.

I don't know if you are ready.

But Maldraxxus is about to truly intervene in the direct conflict between the six forces on behalf of the Realm of Death. We will no longer sit back and hide in the background.

The eternal bloody battle of the next era will begin with your own hands! "

"As you command, Lord Soldier!"

The five marquises agreed in unison.

In the deep laughter of the soldier master, his divine power calmed down little by little, just like the old man who was about to die in the west after saying his last message.

At this moment, Blake rolled his eyes, picked up his pipe, raised his head and said to the statue of the soldier:

"Akalek has left for the Maw, and your most loyal servant would rather serve you than stay in Maldraxxus and enjoy eternal life.

In the country that is about to be yours, you may also need a new pair of eyes. "

"Uh-huh, of course, of course."

The Soldier Master let out an emotional laugh. At the moment when the divine power finally dissipated, he reminded Blake:

"I feel that the mark I left on Kethia has been touched. Your two wives helped you find it. Zoval and Denathrius are getting impatient.

You must get the promotion mark of the eldest daughter before they lose their last patience.

There is no need to worry about everything in the Maw Abyss, my friend. Although I am not as omniscient and omnipotent as you, I can still barely manage to lead a group of undefeated spirits across the Maw Abyss. "

"Of course, old guy, no one in Maldraxxus knows that you are the bravest."

Blake waved goodbye and said to the dimmed statue of the soldier:

"You have accumulated countless epochs of undead armies for this unprecedented war. Of course I will use them properly, but before that, I must select the most capable general for this disputed area you left behind.

Grom Hellscream! "

"exist!"

Laohou, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up with the death blood roar.

He looked at Blake, who was standing in front of the statue of the Soldier Master, spreading his hands to make a gesture exactly like the statue of the Soldier Master. The fingers of his left hand were raised and pointed at him, as if to say, "Big Brother Silent Man, I think you are very talented." That’s why the future chose you.”

"I have no interest in commanding a group of war madmen. This is probably because I have never experienced the pure blood of a warrior in my life experience."

Blake said nonchalantly:

"I cannot understand the thinking of the warriors, and it is difficult for me to appreciate the blood you shed on the battlefield, but this does not prevent me from respecting you. Then, I will hand over the power of commanding Maldraxxus to you, the first warrior, Until the birth of the next military leader"

"I disagree!"

Finna jumped up.

It wasn't that she objected to Brother Stinky's taking Lao Hou as the commander of Maldraxxus, but she had doubts about Brother Stinky's belief that Lao Hou was the number one warrior of Maldraxxus.

She shouted:

"Grom! Our battle is not over yet! Today, under the leader's seat, you and I, we will complete the ultimate battle between warriors!"

"That's right!"

Kargas Blade Fist, who had been silent all this time, also stroked the Yinhan Blade Fist on his arm with a sneer, and said:

"I have only been in Maldraxxus for a short time, but I also know the good rules here. Only the one who can fight best can win the hearts of others.

If you want to command the five secret colleges to do things, you can!

Knock me down first and then talk! "

Laohou looked at Fenner and Kargas expressionlessly, then turned to look at the silent Marquis Sindani and Marquis Stradama. He thought for a while and moved his neck.

He slammed the Death Blood Roar in his hand to the ground, stretched out his fingers, and Cong Fenna pointed at Kargas one by one.

He said:

"I know that there are good warriors among you who simply want to fight me, and there are also some who disdain my rule and feel that I just used the back door of connections to become a candidate for the new military master.

I actually don't care what you think, I'm just waiting for the war to begin.

But if I have to defeat you all to win over all of Maldraxxus, then so be it! No more one-on-one, you have to join forces to challenge me. This is a fairer model for you.

Caixus! Draka! "

"exist!"

The tall Baron Soulchosen and the brave Baroness responded at the same time, and then they heard their Marquis shout:

"Blow the horn! Summon all active players in Maldraxxus to come to the Seat of the War Lord to witness the birth of the war overlord of Maldraxxus!

At the same time, he announced to them the beginning of the ‘Death Crusade’! "

"Death Crusade?"

Black Crow Lich Elisande asked in surprise.

Grom turned to look at her, showing a bloodthirsty smile, and said:

"The Burning Crusade is over, isn't it? It's Death's turn next, and it's time for the demons and the Faceless Men to experience the feeling of being crusaded.

Are you right? little sister.

Of course, the first stop of the expedition starts with replenishing war resources. "
