Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1196 292. What? The big queen pigeon?

   "Ow"

A low and painful roar sounded on the ground leading to the Palace of the Heart of Fear. Under the impact of the violent Qiraji worms that were not afraid of death like the tide, the giant beast worms like walking fortresses of the mantid had been knocked down. Three heads.

   This scene is very similar to the predation of piranhas. The khaki worker insects swept away, leaving only a miserable and incomplete corpse in place.

   And the worker worm.

   This is just the lowest level of cannon fodder in the Qiraji combat system, and the Scythe Zerglings and Armor Bugs who are in charge of harvesting have not yet officially played.

   It seems that the evolution of the mantid is not perfect.

  The advantage of being able to fly makes them ignore ground power, and rely only on those huge, mountain-walking fortress worms to deal with pandaren.

   But when he faced the savage qiraji swarm, he immediately showed his shortcomings.

   This led to the quantitative advantage they gave up a little for the quality advantage, which at this moment became their greatest weakness.

   But the battle of the Qiraji swarm was not all smooth sailing. Their leader, the worm, was completely defeated in the confrontation with the Great Empress Shekhir, and was almost defeated with the will of General Lireza.

   However, at this critical moment, the appearance of Xalatas directly turned the tide of the battle. The moment she appeared, the will of the swarm that belonged to Princess Yalki was transferred to the dark essence.

   Even the pressure brought by the Great Empress Shekhir was taken over by Xalatas.

  The transfer of the will of the insect swarm made the Qiraji who were advancing rapidly puzzled for a moment, but soon, the dark will belonging to Xalatas was shrouded in the simple minds of these dazed insects.

   They feel that the **** of darkness that they have fallen seems to have returned at this moment!

   That dark glory once again hangs over the wretched souls of the qiraji bugs, their last flaws filled!

   They found the meaning of survival again!

   For the God of Darkness!

   Charge!

   A few seconds later, General Lireza and her swarm hunters were stunned as they watched the already berserk Qirajis enter a more frantic fighting stance once again.

  Those cannon fodder workers even started to open the way for the fighting bugs behind them with a frantic charge and self-destruction, and the ground front of the mantid, which had already been able to withstand the impact of the swarm, was crushed in an instant.

  Like a very boring reef trying to block the slap of the waves, but was easily submerged by the rushing tide.

The   swarm consciousness sang on the weak soul of each qiraji, like a charging horn, igniting the dogma of devotion to the supreme **** of darkness inscribed in the ancient blood of the qiraji.

  The charge of the bugs, this moment can be regarded as a real soul.

  And the swarm hunter finally discovered the supreme secret of the Qiraji swarm. Only when it is commanded by an ancient **** or a similar dark thing can the swarm truly explode with destructive power that drowns everything.

  They were born to be shaped like dark servants!

   Without darkness, their existence would be meaningless.

   "Just like you are now, you still have the face to call yourself a swarm hunter? You are really ashamed of this majestic name!"

  Xalatas applied the anger buff of "Dedication" to the charging swarm, and started a swarm-conscious duel against Shekhir, but also made a ruthless and arrogant taunt to the people on his side.

   Especially Lireza Windrunner, who she has been disliked for a long time.

   She viciously spread the power she just mastered in Windrunner's mother's consciousness. She turned words into sharp blades and attacked Lireza's soul recklessly.

she says:

   "Look at how weak you are, is he worthy of his protection and attention? Do you really think he is your student, so you can ask him to do everything for you?

Do not be silly.

  You are just a 'little pet'.

  Look, you can't even fight by yourself, your efforts are so lovely, Windrunner, but can you keep up with him?

   Doesn't looking up at the back make you despair?

give up.

   Accept your sad fate to be forgotten.

   Only a strong woman like me is worthy to stand by his side! Maiev Shadowsong is good, Sefir is good, Aria Bluemoon is good, but you...

  Tsk tsk, you are a little far behind. "

   "Xal'atas, your attempt is interesting, you can go on, but I'm a necromancer, and I know you're trying to plant something weird in my soul.

  I feel it. "

  Mom Windrunner scoffed at this.

   She slapped Princess Yalki who was sitting down and recovered, stretched out her hand to take out the longbow of the spiritual string behind her, and shot several arrows forward without looking at it, piercing the team of elite mantid flying overhead.

   In the face of Xal'atas's malicious taunt, General Lyreza responded with a blank expression:

   "You think it's the greatest honor in your life that you stand by my disciple's side? Tsk tsk, lo and behold, a tamed puppy is barking at people.

   Has the once world-destroying ambition degenerated to this point?

   You are really pathetic! "

   "Sharp teeth and sharp mouths! But unfortunately you and I both know that what I just said was not just to anger you, I was just stating the facts. Windrunner, you are already the remnants of the previous era.

   There is no place for you in this era! "

   Xalatas snorted, and proudly ended this meaningless confrontation.

   She withdrew her consciousness with one last sentence, and began to focus on dealing with the Great Queen Shekhir, who had already felt bad and started to run away.

  After the dark essence took over the head of the swarm consciousness, Princess Yalki became a member of the swarm, and she buzzed to her master with guilt.

   is probably repenting of his weakness, causing the master to be humiliated too.

   But General Lireza didn't care, she just patted her beast to cheer it up.

   This is just the beginning.

  As Princess Yalki returned to battle, the expressionless Lilesa waved her hand and gathered a mass of dark aura that swayed backwards like fire.

   The moment she pulled the bow, the corpses of bugs within a few dozen yards, whether they were Qirajis or mantids, were infused with the Dark Ranger's aura of death and staggered back to their feet.

   This gave Windrunner's mother a "Dead Guard" in an instant.

  The precise shooting belonging to the legendary ranger woven a veil of death in the sky, and any mantid that approached would be headshot with an arrow. The combination of hunter and swarm is no ordinary beast.

   This is the complement of two forces.

After the   Qiraji swarm suffered a little insignificant obstacle, they continued to march forward, and they were getting closer and closer to the palace of the Great Queen Shekhir.

   They are also getting closer to victory.

   As for whether Xal'atas's vicious words had any effect on Windrunner's mother

  Probably, only she knows.

  The battle outside the Palace of the Heart of Fear was raging, and the big queen's desperate move to send her elite army to the front line brought her great trouble.

   In the face of digging tunnels and raiding, the Qiraji swarm, which was attacking like fire, went wrong in the confrontation of the will of the swarm, and Shek Xier had no good way to stop these ancient kin.

   In such a sudden situation and the opponent has an absolute numerical advantage, the flash of inspiration or something is completely useless except to comfort himself.

   She can only rely on the tight defense of the Palace of the Heart of Fear to gain herself more time to deal with it.

When Xal'atath took over the will of the Qiraji swarm, Shek'zeer ordered the frontline mantid army to return to help. The only thing she was happy about was that the decisive battle with the pandaren was in the Dread Wasteland. The border is ringing.

  The frontline battlefield is not far from the Palace of the Heart of Fear. With the super-fast mobility that mantid can generally fly, as long as her palace defense line can last for an hour, her loyal elites can rush back to save the car.

   "Zorlock! You go to the outer hall to supervise the battle yourself!"

   The shrill hiss of the eldest queen echoed in her throne room, and she gave the order to her loyal prime minister:

   "Release Garalon! Release my invincible beast, and be sure to keep the invaders out of my palace, these shameful traitors who surrendered to humble lives!

   Their existence is a disgrace to the ancient glory of the Aqir Empire! "

   "As you order, my majesty."

   The royal prime minister Zorlok, who was in charge of communicating with the fallen sea sages, was also panicked.

  Under the pressure of the sudden army, there was not much time for the mantid nobles to think.

   However, it still has touching loyalty. After receiving the order of the queen, the royal prime minister with frightened legs still took a team of palace guards and rushed to the periphery of the palace front in person.

   In less than a few minutes, a low-pitched insect chirping sounded outside the palace gate, and the sound of the ground shaking represented the release of an incomparably huge beast.

   After the Anubisath Sentinels in the ruins of the Qiraji were destroyed, the Qiraji swarm lost its Colossus units, but the mantid had war beasts like the Bastion Dreadworm.

   As the Queen's favorite pet, the fortress giant Garalon is a symbol of the undefeated mantid empire.

  It's mountain-like size and brute force that can destroy the dragon's spine make it the most dangerous creature in Pandaria, even if the qiraji swarms, don't even think about it

   "Little sister, here I come."

  Xalatas's malicious voice echoed in the dark royal court of the Great Empress, interrupting the boring fantasy of the Great Empress who was extremely active because of the possession of the Sha of Fear.

   This dangerous adversary mingled with the Qiraji's swarm will, blasting through Shek'hir's palace full of gray-white dangerous sha with a mental shock.

   The mantid guards who guard the Queen have black and white spots on their limbs, which means that they are also affected by the power of the Sha of Fear, and they are also strengthened!

   But this single enhancement that grew out of fear was as fragile as paper in the face of the concentrated burst of the five sha energies that Xal'atath had devoured.

   On the spot, the flying mantid guard was overwhelmed by despair, and fell to the ground with a bang, throwing away his weapon and holding his head shivering.

   There were also guards who were stunned by rage and hatred. Guided by the vicious thoughts of suspecting that their companions had betrayed, they shouted "Defend the Queen" and waved the amber halberd towards the nearest companion.

  The best part is that the angry aura was exploded by the vicious dark essence, adding a collective violent BUFF to the mantid fighting in the nest.

   Let them chop up their own people with great ease.

One minute after Xalatas descended on the palace, the Great Empress Shekhir, who was loyally protected by the Guards, became a bare commander, and her last two loyal guards fought each other in front of her eyes. perish together.

  The most amazing thing is that when the two guards killed each other until they fell to the ground, they still shouted slogans for the big queen.

   This scene of blood dripping on the ground made Shekhir also feel a sense of despair in her heart.

   She sensed a threat from the same source as her own power in the will of the invisible devil in front of her. The possessed Sha of Fear dispelled her fear and encouraged the Queen to fight back.

   Apparently, the Sha of Fear, which has grown rapidly to absorb the fears of the mantid empire, also feels the danger.

   It is ready to abandon the incompetent host of Shek Xier and escape. This guy in front of him can devour the sha energy, and he is simply the natural enemy of the remnants of the sha demon!

   "I guess the Sha of Fear must have told you worms that the mantid without fear is the most powerful civilization in the world, to inspire you to attack your ancient enemies."

  Xalatas sneered and sneered at the big queen standing in the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of corpses:

"The sha energy in you can indeed make you and your servants defy fear and be full of courage, but accepting the 'blessing' of the Sha of Fear means that your mind is no longer in the presence of its 'brothers' fortification.

  My poor little sister, your glory is worthless in my eyes, and your faith is meaningless!

  The humble little queen is like a plate of delicious cakes. She dresses herself up beautifully and pours the soup of despair into my eyes. Now, I am free to taste you how I want.

for example

so? "

"what"

   The Great Queen, who didn't know how to fight back against an invisible conscious body, felt that sharp teeth were biting at her soul, and her soul was bitten off by her.

   That psychic pain made the mantid queen twitch back.

   Her four sha-dyed spider legs and her worm-limbed arms speckled with black and white sha swayed in the air, and sha-filled mantid sound waves and magic orbs fluttered everywhere.

   But it couldn't hurt Xal'atas, who was laughing wildly.

   She is a conscious ghost incarnated by the power of the Sha, and there is no entity that can be attacked. The only way to defeat her is to fight her head-on on the battlefield of will.

   But Sherkel has already tried it.

In the case of also wrapping the will of the swarm, she is not the opponent of the dark essence Xal'atas at all. Xal'atas, who has swallowed the remnants of five evil demons, can already be regarded as an "incomplete Y'Shaarj" .

   And the power of reinforcement that Shek'zeer is proud of is only one-seventh of Y'Shaarj's remaining will.

   Weak and helpless, she is no match for the dark elder sister Xalatas in every sense.

   "Your soul stinks, it almost makes me swallow."

   Sister Dark commented disdainfully:

   "Ambition but no means, ambition but no talent, wisdom but no perseverance, talent but no effort. From the point of view of emperors, you are really the most incompetent queen I have ever met.

   No wonder the mantid elders of the Klaxxi Council want to depose you.

  Under your 'wise' leadership, the mantid empire will be over sooner or later, and only in this way will you be deceived by the Sha of Fear's rhetoric to become the Sha host.

  I guess the foreign servants of N'Zoth just saw this and easily stirred up your ambitions and used your obsession with power to wage war.

  The queen in charge of this 10,000-year empire has actually become a tool in the hands of mortals. You are really pathetic!

   Unleash the Sha of Fear and you can roll. "

   Xalatas said in a voice that was not interested:

   "I'm no longer interested in you. Your head is destined to be a trophy for others to show off their victory. Or are you going to continue to struggle in desperation and create more fun for me?"

   This straightforward sarcasm made the Great Queen Shekhir extremely embarrassed.

   She was determined to fight like this, and the Sha of Fear surging on her spiritual level encouraged her like this.

   But in the end, under Xal'atath's satisfied gaze, and under the angry and frightened roar of the Sha of Fear, Shek'zeer made the wisest decision in his life.

   She is a decisive pigeon.

The power of the   Sha of Fear was actively discarded. In the gray-white with a hint of scarlet sha energy, the eldest queen quickly escaped from her shady palace.

   And Xal'atas did not pursue her as promised.

   In front of the Dark Essence, the Sha of Fear, which grew rapidly from the fear of the mantid empire, lost its host, and has been forced to reveal the twisted entity of the seven-eyed black goat and the giant insect.

   The scent of fear it exudes made Xal'atath gulping.

   This is what she wants.

   As for the eldest empress who escaped, she is nothing more than an incompetent and failed monarch. After losing the strengthening of the Sha of Fear, what kind of storms can she make in her weakness?
