Enter World of Warcraft with Dark Skills

Chapter 268 Shocking Conspiracy: The Dark Heart Behind the Ancient Gods.

As the troops under the command of King Kael'thas penetrated deep into Ashenvale and wiped out all the orcs and the infiltrating trolls, the Alliance quickly calmed down. It once again proved the strong strength and cohesion of the Alliance.

High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, who had suffered humiliation for more than a month, led a mixed force of Alliance Crusaders and Sentinels into Dustwallow Marsh.

Facts have proved that when women get ruthless, they will not spare even other women. Not only did she clear out all the orc outposts, she also beat up the ogres who had joined them. She also burned down a black dragon's lair. She didn't care if the black dragon was a woman or not! Tyrande Whisperwind is more violent than Malfurion.

This evil fire came entirely from a nickname. When Taelan Fordring led the army and Malfurion to Northrend, she stayed behind with Caria to look after the Alliance. She was in charge of military affairs and funding approval, two things that were not pleasing to the eye.

Later, in order to maintain peace in the alliance, she had to give in many times. Some people secretly called her "Grandma Tai" to describe her kind and weak style like an old grandmother. They also compared her to several powerful women in the alliance.

As the wife of a demigod, Jaina becomes the best comparison.

Lady Jaina Proudmoore returned to Kul Tiras some time ago to help her father deal with the Ashvane problem. In the battle with the Ashvane, her father was responsible for dealing with the pirates who came. And she personally came forward to deal with Lady Ashvane, who was much older than her.

She did not compromise and turned hostile on the spot:

“I am not here to negotiate with you. There is no possibility that Kul Tiras will leave the Alliance. Any provocation will lead to war.”

Not only did she launch the Battle of Kul Tiras, she also took ruthless measures, summoning the water elemental Grand Duke Hydraxis to kill Lady Ashvane on the spot. Ashvane's Naga Siren form was exposed, which made her lose the support of the people, and the Proudmoore family took the opportunity to annex her remaining forces.

From then on, Jaina was called the "Warbringer" and was sought after by the younger generation of women in the Alliance, along with Liadrin.

Liadrin has a more domineering name: "Iron Lady". Even the crime city of Gadgetzan has to abide by the law under her rule. Those gang members or homeless people who are used to the days of tyranny are now silent. None of them dare to challenge the orders of the "Iron Lady".

Soon, a month of war passed. The Alliance calmed down again. It began to lick its wounds, accumulate strength, and prepare for the coming threat.

As the old saying goes, 'Those who love war will perish, and those who forget war will be in danger.' In Malfurion's words, the Alliance is exhausted. He is increasingly worried that the war will drag down this powerful organization.

These two years were the happiest and most worry-free years in his tens of thousands of years of life. He didn't have to fight alone, someone shared the pressure with him.

It can be said without exaggeration that the Night Elves have shouldered all the disasters from the War of the Ancients to Ragnarok over the past ten thousand years. They have lost many of their compatriots in order to protect this world. In the third war that just ended, they lost the world tree Nordrassil. Thousands of their compatriots' souls have sacrificed themselves to defeat Archimonde.

Now they have finally found their home, the Alliance, and they cannot lose it again.

But ever since Tyran Fordring led Shandris on the expedition to Silithus, he felt something was wrong, he sensed a conspiracy. There was an invisible black hand that had been pushing the Alliance to wage war.

The team that was originally going to deal with the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj entered the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj due to Brian Bronzebeard's mistake. Who set up the magic circle, and who has the ability to set up such a magic circle?
Of course, he had a suspect, that was Yip, a summoner who was proficient in teleportation. He had both power and strength.

Fortunately, Taelan Fordring showed his power and killed C'Thun. Fortunately, C'Thun didn't have time to break free from the cage.

The Alliance had not yet recovered from the battle in Silithus. Deathwing jumped out immediately afterwards and attacked the Eastern Continent in a very strange way, pulling all the main forces of the Alliance to Ironforge.

At the same time, N'Zoth blocked the portal to the Maelstrom and the portal to the depths of Uldum. This shows that N'Zoth does not want to start a war now. He must have been forced to do so.

Then the Cataclysm unleashed by Deathwing destroyed Kezan, shattered the land of Uldum, and opened a portal to Ny'alotha, the Waking City.

Even stranger things happened. The Alliance killed Deathwing, who was trying to burn the trees, in Teldrassil. The Alliance soldiers who broke into Ny'alotha encountered N'Zoth, who had just escaped.

Thinking of this, Malfurion felt a cold sweat on his back.

From C'Thun to N'Zoth to Yogg-Saron, these three ancient gods all encountered the most powerful attacks when they were at their weakest. It was as if they were arranged to die.

Each of them was an enemy capable of causing a catastrophe that destroyed the world, but they were killed one after another. In addition to the fact that Tyran Fordring was indeed powerful, it was also related to his special ability to restrain the Old Gods. But once or twice would be fine, why did it happen every time?

They died in order, as if it was planned?

Thinking of this, he thought of one thing, which was the forging process of the Dragon Soul.

Because of the invasion of demons, the coalition forces were unable to resist. Deathwing proposed to create an artifact and use the power of the artifact to destroy the demons.

So the Dragon Soul project began, everyone started collecting materials, the magical item was refined, and Deathwing persuaded the dragons one by one to inject the power of protection into the artifact.

Malygos was the first to be persuaded, and soon the other dragons agreed. However, Deathwing himself did not inject power. He used the artifact to severely damage all the dragons.

There were five ancient gods, but they had only seen four.

Xal'atath was the first, sent into the hands of Taelan Fordring by the dreadlord Jintessa in order to murder him, and in a tongue-in-cheek duel of ancestors, it stabbed a powerful demigod.

Then, in order to control Xal'atath, Taelan Fordring extracted the power of the Lightforged Dragon Soul and Lightforged Xal'atath instead.

Then, the Dragon Soul was stolen, and the Sword of Damocles that hung over Deathwing's head disappeared.

So far, isn't it a bit similar to the process of forging the Dragon Soul? The reason is there, Deathwing is free, and N'Zoth may start a war at any time. The next step is to collect materials. What are those materials?

The journey to Silithus began. In order to fulfill his promise to Kelly and to free up the Cenarion Circle to change the Barrens, Taelan Fordring set off with Jaina, Shandris, and a key figure: Sylvanas Windrunner.

The plan that should have been stopped suddenly turned into killing C'Thun. The people behind the scenes were afraid that Tyran Fordring was no match for the crazy Old God, so they forcibly sent them into the Great Temple through a portal.

The battle began. C'Thun, who was supposed to be a bewitching man, seemed to be bewitched by someone. He actually longed for the arrival of Tyran Fordring. He hoped to capture him and use him to escape. But it did not go as he wished. Tyran Fordring's will could withstand the whispers of all things. C'Thun was killed.

So, the first material came. Eye of C'Thun!

Next is N'Zoth. The weak N'Zoth was the smartest, but he was betrayed by Deathwing. It can be seen that Deathwing finally betrayed N'Zoth and found a new helper, that helper is the corrupted Nozdormu.

So, the second material came, the Beard of N'Zoth. Then came the trip to Ulduar. This time it was an extremely powerful conspiracy. The guy behind the scenes prepared a luxurious sacrifice for the Old God, a city.

Gadgetzan! It was originally just a fight between three gangs, but it involved the black dragon, the Twilight Hammer, and Yogg-Saron. Especially the pandaren named Aya Blackpaw. It was the most suspicious. It even involved Ulduar in Northrend and the unknown new world of Pandaria.

The Northrend Expedition, which was supposed to take place a few years later, was brought forward.

So, the third material came, the Brain of Yogg-Saron.

Four old gods appeared and contributed three materials. Who would be the next one? The dead Y'Shaarj, or Xal'atath who turned into a dagger?
Malfurion was a high-ranking legend with demigod-level power. The only thing that could scare him was a demigod of the Force like Tyran Fordring. But now the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He didn't know if this was a coincidence or man-made.

Who can understand human nature so well and master such a big conspiracy? He is simply a master of strategy.

It was truly ruthless. How many people died because of its plans, how many families were destroyed. Even the Guardians were implicated. Loken was killed, Freya was imprisoned, and Algalon was shattered by the Holy Light, his soul destroyed.

Thinking of the spirit, Malfurion suddenly thought of resurrection. By the way, the Old Gods are all void creatures, their souls return to the void, and they will not return to the other world. How can they be resurrected!
When he thought of resurrection, he thought of the Eight Virtues. That terrible existence actually considered how to deal with the Eight Virtues. It let Deathwing use his own life to consume the Eight Virtues of Taelan Fordring.

He stayed there, he felt like he couldn't breathe. The bright sunshine couldn't bring him any warmth, he felt that the flowers he saw were all gray, and the little tree elves jumping in the sun weren't that cute anymore.

He felt as if he was falling into an icy cave. All that echoed in his ears were the whispers of an ancient god's descendant:

"Three lanterns will go out, and the remaining two will... the road, ... one eye... will open,..."

Yes, lanterns are only owned by pandas. Do the lanterns lit at night look like the wide-open eyes of the ancient gods?

Could the three lights correspond to the three dead Old Gods? C'Thun, N'Zoth, and Yogg-Saron, exactly three! Their extinguishing, does it refer to the death of these three Old Gods?

There are two left. How could there be two left? Aren’t Azshari and Xal’atath both dead?

That's right, Xal'atath is not dead. It still has one claw alive, that is Xal'atath, the Blade of the Black Empire. What a dark empire! What about the other one?

As for the path, nothing related to the Old Gods is good. He also thought of how Taelan Fording would use Xal'atath to break the bodies of the Old Gods every time, so it must have absorbed the essence of the four Old Gods. It is very likely to be resurrected.

All it took was one more accident, for Taelan Fordring to lightforge another object, and it would be free. The last of the Old Gods would be resurrected.

Sylvanas Windrunner!
Yes, it must be her!
The reason why Ip, the hateful kobold, corrupted Sylvanas was to help Xal'atath escape from the control of the Lightforged in the future. Maybe they reached an agreement.

As for what method to use to communicate, he felt that it was not a problem, because the old gods all had incarnations, just like Cho'gall was the spokesperson of C'Thun, the Fish of N'Zoth corrupted Tyran Fordring on its behalf, and Sara conveyed the sound of death on behalf of Yogg-Saron.

It is still unknown what the connection between Xal'atath and Ip and Sylvanas is, but it must be passed indirectly, because it has to go through Taelan Fording.

Once everything is ready, as long as she is brought back, Taelan Fordring will definitely give up Xal'atath without hesitation and use his light-forged power on Sylvanas Windrunner!
By then, Xalatas will be free. As for the other Ignus prophecy, he is no longer in the mood to interpret it. That is the business of Demetria and Archmage Rommath.

If all else fails, you can ask His Majesty Malygos to use the wish spell again. With his close relationship with Tyran Fordring, he will never refuse.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Malfurion is getting closer to the truth of the whole story. He has already guessed some secrets.

Taelan Fording has some strange habits. He sees the light as the way home.

He said his Jaina was a light that led him home. She was his link to the world.

Who will these three lights lead home? Will it be Xal'atath?
As for why he didn't suspect Tyran Fordring? He was a big suspect. He took the initiative to participate in and promote every war. He also had a motive. He was the guardian of the Titans of Azeroth. He had to consider the whole world. It was just that Malfurion didn't want to believe that the young man would be the mastermind. He liked him from the bottom of his heart.

Not only did he like him, he was also worried about his fate. He was probably still carrying the lives of others. It was not so easy to absorb a god. It might be fusion. He just didn't know it.

He is so young, and judging from his past behavior, he is upright, straightforward, has a very strong judgment, and has wild ideas.

If he was the one who directed all this, then this world would be hopeless. After devouring all the ancient gods, he would break through the demigod realm and gain the power to control the void force. At that time, the whole world would be his.

This temptation is too great, but if you think like this, there is no hope at all. All you can do is wait for death.

What he didn't know, however, was that what he wanted to know that connected Ip, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Xal'atath had already surfaced.

As the chief of staff of Tyran Fordring, the experienced and mature Rommath has connected many things together. Of course, in the eyes of the Alliance's enemies, Rommath is very cunning.

He deduced that Sylvanas Windrunner was framed, and the thing that corrupted her was the commemorative coin!
Yes, the gift was not concealed. Brian Bronzebeard, who could guess the 16-digit code by intuition, once pointed out in public that Sylvanas Windrunner had a special aura. She had just received the Mogu Empire coin at that time.

Rommath speculated that Sylvanas Windrunner had just been influenced by the Old Gods. So she showed it to Brann. He should have told her that it was wrong, that there was something wrong with it. But at that time in Silithus, with the war coming up, no one cared about it. Sylvanas Windrunner probably didn't listen to his advice because he was in league with Jaina.

Brann Bronzebeard quickly reimbursed his own expenses, took on the task of exploring Ulduar, and then left.

Today, Brann Bronzebeard returned from Ulduar. Now that he has a month-long vacation, he wants to go home and have a look. His goal is Teldrassil, the last world tree.

He was currently visiting Taelan Fording's home, and of course he had to see the boss lady to apply for funding! So he met the cunning and sly Romance.

The great wizard immediately connected all of this.

It's just that Rommath came to the conclusion that Xal'atath was as suspicious as A'Shaarj! But like Malfurion, he believed that Sylvanas Windrunner was the most crucial person.

She herself is the key to open Pandora's box.
