Chapter 167 The Chaotic Plot

This is the reception room of the mage tower in the center of Theramore Island. It is also the most important place in Theramore. For a mage, welcoming guests into his mage tower means the greatest trust and respect. From here Judging from the above, Jaina, who has become the leader of the force, still maintains her habits as an archmage.

Although our arrival was grand and full of pretense...ahem, it felt windy, but Gianna obviously didn't make enough arrangements for this welcome ceremony, which is understandable, after all, she didn't even do all this before. I'm not sure if it's a prank by some powerful person, and I even have some doubts about whether we are another group of invaders from another world. Naturally, it's impossible to arrange a grand welcome ceremony, and the time is tight, so we are just polite. After that, several of us leaders hurried to Gianna's reception room and started a brief meeting.

No one present was a politician who focused on useless face-saving projects, so no one cared about trivial details such as boring banquets. Instead, they quickly focused on the most important things at the moment.

First, as we requested, Jaina gave us as detailed an introduction as possible to the current situation in the world of Azeroth.

Although I know that the situation in this world may be different from the "plot" we are familiar with, now, I still have to sigh that the real world of Azeroth is indeed very different from the WOW world projected on the earth.

Of course, I'm not just referring to the fact that Gianna has "paroxysmal thinking disorder", but also about the historical process of this world.

To give the simplest example, the arrival of the Burning Legion has been delayed.

Yes, we originally thought that the situation we would face would be quite bad, even so bad that we would encounter a full-scale attack by the Burning Legion as soon as we landed. But no one expected that the situation was exactly the opposite. The fleeing orcs were already in Kalim To establish a firm foothold, Thrall has even established the prototype of a country, Jaina has also established a stable human base on Theramore Island, and has formal exchanges with the night elves, and in the distant Eastern Continent, the undead natural disaster Although the ravages are still continuing, the remaining power of mankind has a tendency to rise, and what is even more incomprehensible is that the Forgotten have already established a nation!

Sylvanas actually got rid of the Lich King's control early, or in other words, the Lich King's power was weakened in this world. Although the undead Scourge still brought huge pain to the world of Azeroth, But at least Sylvanas was not hindered further. Even when she led the Forsaken who had escaped mind control to establish the Kingdom of the Undead in Lordaeron, the Lich King's army was driven out without resistance. Out of the Tirisfal region!

Of course, despite gaining freedom in advance, the life of the Forsaken is not much easier. It is well known that undead creatures are excluded in the world of the living. Although they are no longer minions of the Lich King, this does not mean that humans The alliance forces headed by them can accept them, so so far, the Forgotten people led by Sylvanas are still fighting alone, struggling to resist the attacks of the undead natural disasters who are trying to regain their lost land and the constant appearances on the mainland. Demons - yes, demons have just appeared in the world of Azeroth until now! Although there is information about the appearance of small groups of demons all over the world, these demons seem to be too low-key. Even Jaina's sentinels have only had the only battle with the demon's exploration force so far.

At the same time, we also know that these scattered vanguards of the Burning Legion did not enter Azeroth through the Dark Portal. No one knows what method these demons used. They seemed to appear out of nowhere, silently. Appearing in people's sight, the organization and actions of these demons look quite chaotic. They do not look like the regular army of the Burning Legion at all. You must know that although the Burning Legion is composed of barbaric demons, their strict military discipline is also well known. , even due to the iron-blooded management method, the military discipline of the Burning Legion can be called a model army, and there are also demons who are relatively weak but extremely good at strategy. Therefore, the troops of the Burning Legion have always been disciplined and advance and retreat in an orderly manner, but now it is inexplicable The small group of demons that appeared in Azeroth can't even be called a militia. They have chaotic military discipline and lack of tactics. In addition to being born with bodies that are several times stronger than mortals, they can't compare with the army of Azeroth. There is no comparison. Even the orcs with the roughest military discipline have become strategic experts compared with them!

However, they are indeed soldiers of the Burning Legion. This has been confirmed after fighting against each other. Although no prisoners were left behind, a lot of signs of the Burning Legion were found - unless there are also those in the world of demons. There are gangsters who want to take advantage of the tiger's skin. A group of jobless vagrants secretly create some Burning Legion military cards and come to Azeroth to eat and drink. But obviously, the possibility of this is too low.

Although they are all such a miscellaneous army, they have not lowered the vigilance of the residents of Azeroth at all, not only because demons are synonymous with cunning, but also because the way they appear is too mysterious...

How much power does it require to teleport across worlds? Without the help of the Dark Portal, even the most powerful demons would never be able to come to the world of Azeroth on their own. And due to the modification of the world's laws, the more powerful the demons, the more restricted they are in this regard. , and although it is easier for weaker demons to enter Azeroth, they cannot come in casually. At least, a powerful enough warlock is an essential condition.

However, those miscellaneous demons happened to appear.

The Dark Portal? Since the orcs were beaten back, the Dark Portal has been under strict surveillance. Although many people don't know whether the Dark Portal can still be used or whether demons will use this door to enter the world, this does not affect humans. To be wary of it, until now, the Dark Portal is still watched by a large number of masters and experts! Jaina swears to me, there's no movement in that place!

Warlocks causing trouble? Less likely! Not to mention that warlocks, a dark profession that deals with demons, are now boycotted by the whole world. Not only are they few in number, but they are also immediately hunted by the whole world if they take any action. They have no ability to cause much trouble, even if they really do. There is a lot of hidden strength, and those demon soldiers who were eliminated did not have the magic marks of being enslaved by warlocks!

The only remaining possibility is that the arcane experiment caused an accident and caused the demon to enter this world. After all, the demon originally targeted the world of Azeroth because he was attracted by the arcane fluctuations in this world, and similar situations It has also happened, but the possibility of this is no greater than the possibility of warlocks causing trouble. There is no other reason. Now the dangerous consequences of indiscriminately conducting large-scale magic experiments have become common sense to all mages around the world, even the most careless ones. The mage also knows to set up a barrier before conducting experiments to prevent magic fluctuations from getting out of control. What's more, the appearance of small groups of demons is not a special case, but happens everywhere, although there are no signs of large-scale emergence. , but this can also rule out the consequences of magic experiments-unless all the high-level mages in the world are brain-dead and forgetful enough to not know what the Burning Legion is.

Although the situation looks much more optimistic than we imagined, the real situation is not that relaxing. The emergence of a small group of demons puts a lot of pressure on Jaina. She clearly knows that a group of terrifying enemies capable of destroying the world are attacking her. I was watching eagerly, and the other party might come at any time, but they didn't make any movement at all, and this kind of calmness still revealed weirdness everywhere. Just imagining this feeling makes people feel uneasy. To be honest, even if it is It would be much better to fight with tens of thousands of demons falling from the sky than to hang like this.

The second point that worries Jaina and her allies is the strength of the demons - too strong!

When she first contacted Jaina a few days ago, she mentioned that the demon army had come to Kalimdor and was fighting fiercely with her own army. Now it seems that the demon "army" should be It was an exaggeration, probably the result of the nervousness of Jaina's intelligence officer, but the fierce battle was true.

Just a motley army of less than thirty demons nearly wiped out three thousand elite human infantry!

It is true that demons are stronger than humans, and their shadow magic is even more troublesome. Even the strongest orc soldiers may not be able to compete with demon soldiers in terms of strength, but this comparison has not reached the level of one to one hundred. !

A single demon soldier singled out a hundred human elites, and used unstructured gangster fighting to overwhelm a thousand human infantry with strict military discipline and experienced many battles - if demons are so strong, the Burning Legion will come There is nothing to do, just surrender!

According to historical records, ordinary soldiers of the Burning Legion absolutely do not have this power! Otherwise, they would not have been beaten back to the Twisting Nether in the last invasion. If nothing else, a single soldier could overwhelm a hundred elites, and the total number of defense forces in the world would not be enough for the ordinary soldiers of the Burning Legion. Play!

In addition to the changes in these key historical events, in terms of details, through Gianna's introduction, we also discovered a lot of differences from the "plot". In a word, our previous understanding of the "plot" has been of little use. None, and now we're going to have to deal with a completely out-of-shape Azeroth.

What a sad reality. Wouldn't our only advantage in intelligence be that of a troubled half-assed prophet? If that's the case, should I just retreat to Earth?

Of course, just kidding...

Although we know that we cannot use the "plot" we are familiar with to measure this real world, Sandora and I still think that everything in this is abnormal.

First of all, are Archimonde and Kil'jaeden fools? The undead natural disasters were almost crippled before they sent out a few harassing troops. Could it be that these two men still adhere to the spirit of chivalry or RPG spirit, insisting on giving the heroes of the world time to recuperate and give them some monsters to let them go? Upgrade and upgrade your equipment before you show up? If you don't take advantage of the chaos and come over quickly, why bother? Why is it that you are addicted to staying at home with your wife? !

Secondly, demons appear out of thin air. Even a knowledgeable person like Jaina can’t imagine how these demons appear silently all over the world. Even if they are closely monitored, these demons will still pop out of some nook and cranny, and then use their own The strength that is powerful but can be destroyed is shocking, and it is extremely shameless and vulgar.

Although Jaina couldn't imagine how the enemy could complete the cross-world teleportation silently, I thought of more than one possibility. Xiling space technology is said to be a super technology second only to the divine space magic. Jaina's so-called cross-world teleportation In our eyes, it is just a space jump between planets. Even I, a half-way monk of the Xiling Apostle, can think of more than ten ways to smuggle a group of demons under Jaina's nose in an instant, and also Not a single trace of magic wave remained.

If my conjecture is true, it can only be said that we are so unlucky... The worst case scenario turns out to be true. The corrupted Xiling apostles and the demon army are colluding. It is not terrible for scientists to know martial arts. What is terrible is that scientists become martial arts. When he became a master, the gangster also started to study science...

There is also a third point. Demonic strength is more powerful than the historical records of Azeroth. This is also puzzling to me, because historical records cannot make such a big mistake, especially in this situation that is related to the life and death of the world. It is even more impossible to write randomly, so I think these demons that appear now should be just special cases, or... test subjects...

I suddenly thought of this possibility, and then broke into a cold sweat.
