Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1180 276. Smart people are already moisturizing, and idiots are still fantasizing about victory--[Apologize for forgiveness, 13]

   The Battle of Townlong Steppes, the mantid's Sacred Tree of Sykevis is burning.

  This ancient giant tree is a plant unique to Pandaria, and it secretes a very strange amber, which is a necessary material for the reproduction and growth of the unique insect mantid.

The    mantid call it the Kepa Tree.

  Sacred trees like this grow in the Dread Wastes and Townlong Steppes, and are specially cultivated. The place where such a giant tree exists is the natural camp of the mantid.

  Relying on such a step-by-step tactic, they almost completely occupied the land west of the Panlongspine Great Wall, which was built during the Mogu Empire to defend against the mantid and divided the Pandaria continent.

   But the mantid are not fearless.

  At least in the face of a dumb warrior wielding the troll sword Suthas, the mantid forward general doesn't seem to have a stronger skull than a qiraji.

  This led to the fact that Fina in this battle was simply the brightest cub on the battlefield.

   Wearing a blue and white commander's armor, she roared with heartless joy, commanding a group of equally heartless shield girls to rampage on the battlefield.

   She rushed wherever she needed her, and because of the halo of anger lingering around her body, she seemed to be wearing a bright red cloak.

  The soldiers of the Kul Tiras Marine Corps were like a herd of bulls. Under the morale boost brought by the heart of anger embedded in Fenna's armor, they followed the red "cloak" and dashed fiercely.

Wherever   Fina went, they rushed there.

   One by one is very brave.

  With the number of 500 people, under the leadership of Fina, they miraculously repelled the mantid's seven or six desperate counterattacks under the holy tree, and bought enough time for Little Jaina and the candle dragon to burn the tree.

   After this battle, the mantid skulls that Fenna cut off with her own hands became a hill.

   This made the pandaren warriors look at the slender but Valkyrie-like war princess with admiration as they passed by.

   This almost made Fenna famous!

Not only did the rebellious navies of Kul Tiras convince them, they were willing to become Princess Fina's guards, and as she patrolled the battlefield after the war, even Taran Zhu, who had beaten her before, also came over to Fen in person. Na pays tribute.

  It is a pity that although the situation in Townlong Steppes has improved due to today's victory, the overall battle situation in the face of the mantid is still worrying.

   "Besides the Sha of Fear, there is at least one unseen Sha in the mantid camp!"

   On the edge of the battlefield, Niuzao, the **** of the gods, who rushed all the way, lay resting on the ground covered with mantid corpses.

Today, this silent Niu Tianshen has resisted the slashing and killing of nearly 10,000 mantid pioneers by himself, and he has used brute force to rampage in the mantid army. .

   Much bigger than Fenna's.

   But for Xuanniu, who has a strong sense of responsibility, today's victory is not sweet at all.

   Because he failed his duty.

   Among the four gods, only the remnant of the evil spirits he was responsible for suppressing escaped, which was almost a shame for the tenacious Xuanniu.

   "Those fallen humans used the power of another Sha to break the seal of the Sha of Fear, a power I've never seen before, the last of the six Shas that have appeared in Pandaria.

   That is the power of pride! "

   Xuanniu said in a low tone:

   "Emperor Shaohao sacrificed himself to seal the Sha of Pride, but as Black opened the fog barrier, the power of arrogance also found a new carrier in this land.

   Those fallen ones are familiar with such powers, they are dark by nature. And I, I failed to detect this threat. "

   "Master Niuzao, it's not your fault."

  Beside Xuanniu, the head of Shado-Pan Taran Zhu shook his head. He looked at the battlefield being cleaned and said in a low voice:

   "Since it was Black who released the Sha of Pride, it is up to him to solve the trouble he caused. Those humans who have seized the power of the Sha are his compatriots and also his enemies.

   This is his responsibility, we just have to deal with the mantid. "

   "It's not that simple."

At the same time as little Jaina and Fenna came over, the fallen watcher Sera Moonguard also appeared from Jaina's shadow. The watcher loyal to the moon **** glanced at the black bull in front of him, and Xuanniu Tianshen also looked at her with an indifferent look.

  Obviously, Niuzao felt the smell of the void from Sera.

   But the Watchers didn't care.

   She took out a map from her waist bag, unfolded it in front of everyone, and said:

"According to the intelligence and assistance of the local Jade Lotus gang, my sisters and I spent a day wandering the Dread Wastes. The victory of Townlong Steppes did not affect the mantid's ongoing expansion of the army, the Great Empress Xia Kexi. Israel's military is still growing.

   And the worse news is that the mantid have sent a detachment to this place!

   in a mysterious valley between your Valley of the Four Winds and Kun-Lai Summit.

  We don't know why they were distracting them at the start of the war, but we noticed that the mantid army was commanded by a group of Corruptor followers in disguise.

   They must be looking for something in this place. "

   "Setting Sun Pass?"

   Taran Zhu glanced at the map and immediately frowned.

   He looked at Xuan Niuzao, who nodded to him.

   Sect Master Zhu looked left and right again, and asked the surrounding monks to leave, and then he said:

   "The mantid are going to attack that ancient pass, they are trying to enter the Vale of Eternal Blossoms! The legendary location of the 'Heart of Pandaria', which was sealed by the Supreme Celestials long ago.

   There is the source of the power of the entire Pandaria, and it is also the place where the oldest secrets of this land are hidden. When Emperor Shaohao left, he told us not to enter there, nor to allow the mantid to enter there.

  The Pass of the Setting Sun is the only way to enter and exit the Valley of Splendid Blossoms outside the Gate of God.

  The most elite forces of the Black Guard faction of the Shado-Pan are guarding there, as well as the elites of the Knights of the Cloud Serpent.

  It is not easy for the mantid to break through there, especially when there is a two-front war, the rule of the Great Queen Shek'zeer is not a one-person place, and her kingship is also restricted by the Klaxxi Council.

   Only some, but not all, of the mantid loyal to the Grand Empress left Shek'zeer not strong enough to fight on two fronts. Those stubborn elder mantid won't let the Grand Queen do what she wants."

   "But they are united, Master."

   On the other side, Black's disciple, the elf assassin Valeera, and her new friend, the pandaren assassin Tao Ya, appear at the same time, and Tao Ya seems to be injured.

   She held a piece of swarm amber with a unique logo in her hand. She handed it to Taran Zhu and said:

   "With the help of Mrs. Guo Ya's 'business partner', Valeera and I were able to go deep into the heart of the mantid empire to conduct reconnaissance, and we found such amber in the Great Queen's armory.

   This is the symbol of the Klaxxi Council.

  The Grand Queen and the Council of Elders, who have always been deeply divided, have united, giving the mantid a unified command and enough strength to attack in both directions at the same time.

   And Master, we have checked several marked places in the Dread Wastes, and the council of elders of the mantid has awakened the ancient heroes.

   They are determined! "

  Tao Ya showed an expression of worry and fear, she whispered:

   "We are about to usher in the most terrifying invasion of the mantid in ten thousand years. Master, I doubt whether the Dragon's Back can stop their crazy attack."

   The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stagnant.

  Mantid and pandaren and other races live together in Pandaria, but mantid slaughter and invasion of other races has become a chronic disease before the pandaren civilization established its empire.

Thus, when the mogu dominated Pandaria, the most brilliant and ruthless emperor among the mogu commanded countless lives, building a towering and sturdy dragon's spine from Kun-Lai Summit all the way to Krasarang Wilds to ward off the mantid's once-in-a-hundred-year " Great Invasion".

   Once a hundred years, this is the life cycle of the mantid.

   In every major invasion, countless mantid recruits try to cross the Dragon's Spine to burn and loot the richest regions of Pandaria, but each time they are repelled.

   This is not a failure of the mantid, but a cruel strategy.

  The weak will be killed in the big invasion, and those who can survive are the real elite warriors.

   Relying on such cruel reincarnation, the Mantid Empire has accumulated batch after batch of terrifying warriors.

  The strongest and most outstanding warriors among them are awarded the title of "Heroic", and are sealed in time by the council of elders of the mantid with the magical amber power, preserving their strength and energy until the next time they are needed.

   Only a few heroes are born in each era, which means that every mantid hero is a war machine that can defeat a thousand with one.

   Measured by the power of the outside world, each of these heroes has a fighting strength far beyond that of ordinary legends, and one or two of the most powerful even have the strength of a demigod.

   Also, the heroes don't just go it alone, they are the most outstanding commanders and commanders, with very different but all very powerful fighting styles.

   Some are good at fighting with large armies, some are good at sneak attack, some are good at stealth attack, and some are good at magic and poison attack.

   They are the greatest "legacy" of the mantid empire, a group of true humanoid Gundams.

   And now, the council of elders has awakened all the heroes. As Tao Ya said, those elders are really determined to resolve this dispute that has lasted for ten thousand years at one time.

   But what was it that allowed the stubborn and conservative elders of the mantid to make such a decision?

   Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was so low, Fenna wanted to say a few words to liven up the atmosphere, but she really couldn't think of any rhetoric or inspirational words.

   can only look at her sister as if asking for help, little Jaina hesitated for a while, she held the hail long sword at her waist and stepped forward, coughed, and said loudly:

   "Everyone, I know the situation is critical, but please listen to me."

   All eyes were on Jaina at this moment, including the silent Niuzao Tianzun.

  The whole body of this mysterious cow exudes a warm khaki light, and the thick fur makes people feel at ease.

   And the most peculiar thing about it is that it has two pairs of horns, one big and one small, the big pair is almost as long as its body, the black big horns are towering, and the small pair is more like a sword-like decoration.

   But when Niuzao lowered his head and charged, absolutely nothing could resist the impact of these four horns. Its eyes are blue, with the braided mane and the cowbell under the neck, it really has a simple and honest feeling.

   It sensed little Jaina's nervousness.

  This is probably the first time this little girl has expressed her opinion on such an occasion, so Niuzao let out a deep laugh and said:

   "The situation is so bad, there is no need to feel nervous about saying the wrong thing, little girl, say it, we are waiting for wisdom beyond the fog."

   "Yes, what are you afraid of!"

   Fenna patted the little sister on the shoulder boldly, and said cheerily:

   "Let them see the ancestral wisdom of our Proudmoore family, you may not be as good as uh, I mean your brother, my brother, but you're so smart you won't say anything stupid."

   "I never say stupid things."

  Little Jaina glared at the stupid sister.

   She took a deep breath, blinked her beautiful blue eyes, and said to the group of people in front of her:

"The mantid may come out of their nests, but they're stronger doesn't mean we're weaker. In fact, after Lord Niuzao no longer has the responsibility to suppress the Sha, the most powerful forces on our side have also been liberated. come out.

  Under the activity of Mr. Black Shaw, the Supreme Celestials have been freed from their shackles, and the council of elders of the mantid may have awakened their most powerful warriors.

   But with the assistance of the Supreme God, we will not be afraid of those bugs that have failed for 10,000 years!

   What's more, I don't know if you have discovered that those fallen sea sages, those servants of N'Zoth and the mantid are not of the same mind! "

"Um?"

  Jaina's statement made Taran Zhu's eyes widen. The most powerful monk in Pandaria thought for a while, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.

   "Yes! The little girl is right!"

   Zhu Sect Master clapped his palms and said happily:

   "I overlooked that, they were never of one mind! They each had their own purpose."

   "Oh, don't play dumb riddles, can you take care of those of us who don't have good brains?"

   Fina knocked on the head of little Jaina, and scolded indiscriminately:

   "Come on! Why aren't evil and evil in one heart?"

   "Because if the fallen sea sages really supported the mantid queen, they would not have taken the army of the council of elders to the setting sun at this time!"

  Little Jaina covered her head and explained:

   "If they really help the mantid win a big victory, then they should concentrate their superior forces on the main attack. After breaking the blockade of the Dragon's Back, the entire Pandaria will be safe, and the army of the mantid will be able to sweep the entire foggy continent in an instant.

   In that case, the fallen seasages have a more leisurely opportunity to seek out the evil they seek to find.

   But now, they chose to divide their forces when we were united and they were short of strength.

   This either means that the Council of Elders and the Great Queen are still inseparable, both sides have their own goals that must be achieved, and they cannot be reconciled. They can only be divided into two forces to attack.

   Or it means that the fallen sea sages are not optimistic about the big queen's ambition to try to seize the whole of Pandaria.

   They have abandoned the Queen with practical actions and turned to the power of the mantid to pursue what they desire, and they even use the Queen as bait to attract our attention!

   This way of thinking was taught to me by Mr. Black,

   He will always consider issues from the interests of the enemy, so as to obtain the correct purpose of the other party

   I find this way of thinking really works.

  For example, now, I can be sure that the sea sages are only using the mantid empire, and even they risked releasing the Sha of Fear, just to temporarily stabilize the Queen and give her enough confidence.

   Use her to slow us down and confuse our attention. "

   "Wow, you learn so fast!"

  Fina widened her eyes and said:

   "I've been following him for so long, but I haven't learned it. You deserve it."

   "What is it?"

  Little Jaina looked at Fenna.

   She felt that Fenna was going to say something very important, but at this moment Fenna's IQ suddenly occupied her empty brain, making her turn a big corner in an instant, and said hilariously:

   "As expected of the same brother who taught me! It's amazing, hahahaha."
