Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 590, Section 51: You inconsiderate piece of trash, I wished you a long life, but you actually intend to live a long life?
The wind elements are all very free-spirited.

This is their "racial culture"—you can never guess what a wind elemental will do next.

Perhaps the wind element that was fighting you to the death before will suddenly "lose interest in fighting" and quietly dissipate into the wind. Or perhaps the ancient wind element that has been sleeping for thousands of years under your house will suddenly "want to go out for a stroll" and thus blow the house you worked so hard to build into the sky.

Especially when that house is something you've been struggling with for decades, having just finished renovating it and preparing it as a necessity to marry a "good girl" who's asking for a dowry of 380,000 yuan, you probably feel like killing someone.

So, it must be wonderful to live in a world without elemental creatures.

The capriciousness and neuroticism of the wind element are quite evident in the current Aurakir, the wind god.

In the ancient elemental wars, Al'Akir was the most troublesome opponent and ally of the other elemental lords. Its will was fickle; one day it was allied with the earth element to fight against the fire element, and the next day it would turn around and assist the Balrog in attacking the Stone Mother, or cooperate with the Tidehunters to unleash a terrifying hurricane tide that buried the fire and earth elementals together.

It is a common understanding among the other elemental lords that Al'Akir can only be bribed, not trusted.

This "unpredictability" is even reflected in Al'Akir's strength. When it is in good condition, it can even suppress the most powerful of the four elements, the Balrog King, but when it is in bad condition...
Well, when he's not feeling well, Al'Akir usually doesn't go out.

It's just a fluctuating madness, not that it's stupid. Who would actively start a war they can't refuse and are unlikely to win when they're in a bad state? It's not like I'm a middle-aged man facing the fear of handing over grain, right?

Al'Akir is not stupid at all; on the contrary, he is the most outstanding tactician among the four elements.

In the ancient elemental wars, whenever the Wind God personally led the wind elemental army into battle, even the Fire Demon King had to immediately stop everything he was doing to guard against the wind elements suddenly appearing on a certain battlefield.

These guys control the battlefield in the sky and can appear in every possible corner by riding the wind.

Every breeze in the world is Al'Akir's eyes and ears; if it so desires, the wind god will know everything that happens throughout Azeroth.

Therefore, in the shamanic legends of Azeroth, Al'Akir is often associated with "secrets," which can be considered one of its divine aspects, though it is somewhat peripheral.

The true power of the wind god lies in controlling storms and thunder.

With the constraints of the elemental realms now lifted by Mother World, Al'Akir can unleash a devastating storm anywhere in the material world at any time, should it so choose.

For mortal civilizations, there's no need to worry about water elements going crazy if they stay away from the sea or lakes, and no need to worry about fire element invasion if they don't play with fire recklessly. The earth is the most stable force, so the earth element will generally ignore you.

Only the unpredictable storm is a force that mortals can never escape.

The true name of the wind element should be "air element". So, you can go without food, you can go without water, you can go without fire, but you can't go without breathing, right?
Therefore, it was absolutely necessary for Mother World to personally instruct Lysages to complete the takeover of the Sky Wall as soon as possible. She did not want to see the mortals she protected die inexplicably in a storm without any reason one day.

Of course, while it's said that an elemental invasion doesn't require the involvement of vigilants, as a military leader revered by the saviors, greetings and inquiries are still a necessary procedure before an elemental war begins.
Moreover, Diakum is currently in the Uldum Desert.

As the place closest to the Sky Wall in the material world, if you fight a war on its head without reporting it in advance, are you waiting for a solar punch to suddenly smash into the battlefield and give you a hard time?
When the weary Lysages arrived in Uldum carrying the Blade of the Windseeker, the Vigilant was just heading to the Halls of Origin.

Just now, he gained the recognition and worship of the second Tovir tribe. The wise and ambitious King Faoris carefully learned about the Vigilant's story and, after a long talk with him, voluntarily handed over the sacred object that the Lamukahhen tribe had kept for generations to the Vigilant.

No one knows what King Tovir and Diakum talked about, but at that moment, Archbishop Saloras received a rather special invitation.

Prince Naden, the younger brother of King Faorius, was Faorius's most trusted relative.

The other party invited Archbishop Saloras to travel to the city of the Lamukahans, built by the people on the delta where the two rivers meet, in the name of the Lightforged Chapter. Although the invitation was vague, the Archbishop guessed that it was related to "faith".

She had to prepare for the banquet, so she couldn't accompany Diakum to visit the legendary Hall of Origins, which was a real shame for the Eredar who would later use it to restore Argus.

"The Scepter of Osis can open the Titan Gate in the Hall of Origin, while the relics of the Lamukahhens can protect us from attacks by the guardian creations in the Hall of Origin, and the relics of the Neferset tribe are said to open the device leading to the depths of the Origin Engine."

More than one 'deity' is hidden there.

Riding his Luna stag, Diakum explained to his group of "security personnel" who followed him on Bactrian camels, a local specialty:

"We don't need Neferset's relics for now. The main purpose of this trip is to check on the operation of the Hall of Origin and take over from the Tol'vir. I've already sent a message to Draenor, and I estimate that the Prophet will send at least one archbishop to protect the Origin Engine."

"Until your replacement arrives, Nuboton, you will personally guard this place with five squads of Lightforged."

Dick said to Nubbotton beside him:

"His Majesty Faoris and I have explained the situation. The local Tolvir garrison will also withdraw within the next day or two. They must guard against an invasion by the ambitious Nefersetians. Given the number of Tolvir, every army is important."

"Look, the future Azerothian Wind Goddess has arrived, and she looks incredibly confident."

Dick looked up and saw the Thunder-Devouring Dragon descending from the sunlit clouds. He waved for the others to go ahead, while he stayed behind to give a few words of advice to Lessages, who was about to enter the elemental war.

"Thunderfury, the Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, the perfect elemental sword in all of Azeroth, no, in the entire cosmos. It represents almost the highest level of elemental power that can be achieved in this cosmos."

Without using the six fundamental forces, this is practically the limit of power that mortals can achieve.

Diakum sighed, took the longsword handed to him by the Thunder Dragon, stroked it in his hand and consecrated it, letting the runes of holy light dance and land on the blade of the Windseeker's sword, giving it the ability to suppress and dispel negative energy.

The Windseeker Sunderland, residing within the sword, expressed his gratitude to the saint of the Holy Light. As elemental beings, what they fear most is not provocation or war, but rather the erosion and manipulation of negative energy.

This is vividly demonstrated in the Dark Empire's enslavement of the elemental lords; in terms of elemental properties, the void is almost the natural enemy of elemental creatures.

The Blade of the Windseeker is Sunderland's "signature weapon," and the fact that this sword is blessed by the Vigilant means that Sunderland no longer needs to worry about the tragedy of being enslaved by the Void again in the future.

It can only be said that Diakum's "diplomatic skills" are indeed impressive; he always manages to present a wonderful gift that wins the other party's heart upon first meeting.

"How did you reach an agreement with Sunderland to get it to lend you its elemental powers?"

Dick returned the Radiant Blessed Elemental Sword to Lysages. He asked a question, and the Thunder Dragon didn't hide anything, casually telling the Watcher about the "Wind God's Contract."

In her illusionary form, she carried the Blade of the Windseeker, just like a "greedy adventurer" about to step onto the battlefield, and said:
"If it weren't for Mother World's request, I wouldn't actually have much desire to become the 'Wind God.' Thanks to your power of repentance, I'm now filled with thoughts of making amends to the people I've hurt."

The proto-dragon hunting packs once flourished, spreading across every corner of ancient Kalimdor, but now my people are confined to the snowy mountains of Northrend.

This is clearly not the form that the true 'eldest son' of Mother World should take.

Therefore, regardless of who wins or loses the battle between me and Sunderland in the future, I will not be deeply involved in the management and rule of the Skywall. I will just be a figurehead and occasionally lead the wind elementals into battle when necessary.

For the rest of the time, Sunderland will be managing those notoriously difficult wind elemental lunatics on my behalf.

At this point, Lysages curled his lip and said, "The Windseekers are also very dissatisfied with the current chaos in the Skywall. The infighting among the four Wind Lords has almost caused the Elemental Legion, which was originally united under Al'Akir, to fall apart."

The Wind God didn't care, spending his days like a madman in his throne, plotting something.

That thing symbolizes the storm of freedom, but in reality, it can't understand the true meaning of 'freedom' at all, just like your previous definition of freedom.

Doing whatever you want isn't freedom; it's just a manifestation of chaos.

Clearly, although the Dark Empire has long since fallen, Al'Akir has been enslaved by the Void for too long, and it has become tainted with a chaotic nature. I even suspect that Al'Akir may still have some connection with N'Zoth.

Now that the Thousand-Bearded Demon is about to establish a Void power called the 'Earthly Demon Kingdom' in Kul Tiras, it's only natural that Al'Akir, as a former servant of the Dark Empire, would be invited, right?
Even more critically, the Kul Tiras fleet already wielded the seas with the help of the Sea Wise. If Al'Akir were to interfere, Kul Tiras would never be conquered.

It is isolated off the mainland, surrounded by sea on all sides, which means that other forces can hardly even get close to it.

Of course, this is assuming that someone as powerful as you doesn't participate, huh?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Did I say something wrong?

Lysages noticed that Diakum's gaze had become strange, and she subconsciously asked a question. Dick replied:

“I just realized that you seem to have casually revealed the ‘truth.’ I was wondering why Al'Akir was so tough and uncompromising when faced with the call of Mother World.”

At present, your statement may be the most perfect explanation besides 'Aurelia suddenly fell ill and went insane'.

It certainly had the audacity to refuse the call of Mother World, for it was backed by the Thousand-Bearded Demon and the entire 'Eclipse Faction' of Void Lords.

They intend to establish Kul Tiras as the true stronghold of the Void forces in Azeroth, thus ensuring their legitimate and enduring existence.

They want to establish a 'new dark empire' that will dominate the seas and skies!
Kul Tiras will only be the 'capital' there, but all places where the wind blows will be their territory.

The vigilant squinted, stroked his chin, and said:

"No wonder Tidehunter Neptulon has not yet responded to the World Mother's call. It seems that it is not only the Wind God who has been invited by the Dark Empire. Ha, they really have a death wish, choosing to jump left and right at this time."

This makes me wonder if the Water Elemental Lord's head was wholesaled from the Jade Lotus Gang's black market.

Give!
Take this with you.

With obvious anger surfacing, Diakum waved his hand, summoning his Ashbringer to leap into his hand, and then handed the holy sword, which had only a hilt and no blade, to Lysajers.

But the Thunder-Eating Dragon dared not take it.

This is because this thing is a true conceptual weapon. Ashbringer has its own will. It is a power that no ordinary person can possess. It will not unleash its light blade for other users. Anyone who touches it will be burned to ashes by the sun's fire.

Unless, of course, the lucky ones are allowed to get permission.

"Take this, you'll need it."

Dick explained:
"The power of the Void not only enslaves the elements, it also strengthens them. If Al'Akir is indeed secretly colluding with the Void forces, it means that he has most likely already received Void enhancements."

The storm's power is already difficult to deal with; if there's also the void's erosion and mental oppression, you and Sunderland will likely lose even if you join forces.

But if Al'Akir really did seek the power of the Void, it would mean that the fool had once again willingly embraced the Void after hundreds of thousands of years.

The traitors of the Dark Empire deserve to be killed by everyone!
If Al'Akir uses the power of the Void in your battles, Ashbringer will surely illuminate the light of justice for you! Of course, if we wrong it, you will also be unable to use Ashbringer in battle.

Unless, of course, you're planning to use this sword hilt as a 'hidden weapon' to throw it.

Dick shrugged and handed the warm Ashbringer to Lysages, encouraging him:
"Now you are truly 'righteously entrusted'. Summon your courage and do great things with an open mind. I will be waiting for your victorious return in the hot winds of Uldum."

"Hmph, the World Mother was already quite unhappy with Al'Akir's arrogance."

Having received the artifact from the Vigilant, Lessages was even more confident. The Thunder Dragon looked out at the cloudless sky and the elemental realm high above the sea, nestled among the clouds.

She whispered:

"In her great name, I will personally bring back the conqueror's victory for her!"

"Yes, I wished Al-Akir a long life before."

Diakum also gazed at the horizon, and in the hot wind blowing in his face, he said:

"If you really think that's a blessing, then you really should get your head checked, Olakil, do you hear me?"

This is your last chance!
Mother World may give a rebellious child a chance, but no matter how kind a person is, they will not give a criminal a second chance!

"boom"

The hot desert wind converged like a powerful punch, slapping the vigilant in the face and making his hair fly like a slap.

This represents Olakil's response.

It was indeed there, riding the hot winds to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Vigilant and Lysages, and the Thunder Dragon didn't even notice it, which shows how cunning and omnipresent the Wind Elemental Lord is.

"It rejected one last chance, what a pity. It felt that the remnants of the Dark Empire were more trustworthy than me. Sigh, I'm really curious about Al'Akir's brain structure now? These elemental beings who act on a whim are truly amazing."

Dick sighed.

He said to the Thunder-Devouring Dragon beside him:

"By the way, please tell Lady Velanos that if Neptulon the Tidehunter's messengers haven't arrived at the Chamber of Heart by the end of the war at the Skywall, she can prepare herself to storm the Abyss's Maw with the help of fire and wind elementals and take its place."

But I suspect that, given Neptulon's shrewdness, it is highly unlikely that it would allow itself to fall into such a pitiful predicament.

Therefore, I probably don't need to wish Neptulon a long life.

Ps:

There will be an extra 3+5 chapters tomorrow.
