Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 638.6. The Theory of Heaven: The Feast at Hongmen - The Eredar's Power-Up Edition - Bonus Chapter [55]

(Bonus chapter for the "Fish Lying in Peach Blossom Spring" brother [5/5])
Delano has been quite lively in recent months.

It was a physical spectacle, because the arrival of the seven Eredar clans summoned by Old Velen and Lady Verara had brought the number of "blue-skinned" people on the planet to new highs.

The Karabo Temple was so crowded that it couldn't even accommodate everyone.

Fortunately, after more than a year of repairs, with the help of other races in Draenor, Shattrath City was finally rebuilt. This meant that the Eredar who migrated here following the will of restoration no longer had to pitch tents in the wild or live on starships for long periods of time.

Millennia of exile fostered the custom of "traveler" among the Eredar clans.

Although each clan has its own settlement, they also consider their starships as part of their home, which are not only vehicles for their travels, but also fortresses to protect them and weapons for resistance.

The current Draenor world is incredibly cool. The arrival of the seven clans brought four Stormhold-class flagships, as well as two standard fleets of warships.

Because Draenor is a small world, its planetary orbit cannot even allow so many starships to stay for long, forcing the mining-savvy Oronar clan to send mining ships to a small asteroid in the system for modification.

These outrageous Starsea clans managed to create a temporary starport within half a month, located several astronomical units away from Draenor, as a temporary anchorage for the Eredar "Restoration Army Fleet".

In reality, it's impossible for the seven Eredar clans to possess enough starships to form two star fleets. The main reason is that the warlike Krokun clan is too outrageous. They alone have four Storm Fortress-class flagships and thirteen miscellaneous functional escort ships.

This is not the entirety of the Krokun clan's resources, as they needed to leave some starships to protect their home in the stars, so only two-thirds of their fleet came.

But this was enough to shock the Draenei clan, these "country bumpkins".

This caused serious mental strain, especially for Irele, who was a "country bumpkin".

We all fled our homeland of Argus naked, so why do other clans have starships while we Draenei are so miserable that we're stranded in a foreign land and almost wiped out by the local natives?

But this is not because the Draenei clan is incompetent.

The main reason was that when Velen left Argus, he confirmed that the Draenei clans would become "sentinels" for other clans. As long as they continued to travel through the stars and attract the attention of the Burning Legion, they could at least buy other clans time to set up camp.

As it turned out, old Velen's decision was absolutely correct. It was precisely because of the Draenei clan's 25,000-year journey that the Legion of the Light had the time to develop.

It can be said that the surviving Eredar clans in the Starsea owe the Draenei a debt of gratitude.

The rise of the Starsea Clan also opened the eyes of the Mag'har orcs of Draenor. To be honest, after witnessing the formidable strength of other Eredar clans, those old orcs who had once harbored thoughts of attacking the Draenei but ultimately pulled back from the brink felt a chill run down their spines.

Fortunately, the Vigilantes awoke in time and formed the Kourei Alliance, thwarting the War Horde's ambitions. If the Black Hand had truly slaughtered the Draenei and then provoked these ancient clans who were risking their lives in the starships and fighting demons in the vast universe, how many lives would Draenor have to withstand their starship cannon fire?

Of course, that's all in the past. Now, we are all partners of justice united in the "Alliance of Kourei," a righteous organization centered around Saint Diakum.

Moreover, the Mag'har orcs theoretically have their own starships nowadays.

Although it was a fel-powered warship that was seized by the Illidari when they ambushed the Burning Legion's fleet, although the modification was not thorough and there were still remnants of fel energy on it, and although the smartest of the orcs had been sent to learn how to fly a spaceship from a blind man and had not yet learned.

But those two hunter ships docked in planetary orbit are also the property of the Mag'har orcs, so they can boast when they go out into the world, "We orcs are a legitimate interstellar civilization."

The arrival of the seven Eredar clans kept Velen and Diakum very busy.

They needed to host the high-ranking members and leaders of each clan, because the more than 20,000 years of exile had given these clans different customs and taboos, making the reception quite troublesome.

But Diakum had his own clever trick.

All it takes is to take the Eredar leaders to pay homage to Lord Argus, let them remotely view the Origin Engine through the crystal records, and finally have Old Velen explain the grand plan of "formatting Argus." This will motivate these "conservative" clans, who are eager to return to their homeland, to join them with great enthusiasm.

There is no doubt about the depth of the desire of these clans, who traveled thousands of miles and braved the elements to come after receiving a single call from Velen, to "return."

They are the most conservative, and also the most extreme.

Moreover, the grand plan of "formatting Argus" is no longer just a PowerPoint presentation.

Diakum and the Lightforged Chapter have spent over a year roaming around Azeroth, effectively shutting down the Unifying Field. Now, all they need to do is wait for the Titan Soul of Eonar to return so they can dismantle those Titan creations.

This means that the Draenei clan had independently completed all the preparations for this grand plan before the arrival of the seven Starsea clans.

So old Velen was indeed a man of good character; just like during the Second Co-rule, he shouldered the entire burden of the clan. Unfortunately, to Diakum's disappointment, few of his old friends remained among the seven clans.

After fleeing Argus, the most radical warriors joined the Legion of the Light, while many of the veterans who remained in the various clans have passed away over the years for various reasons.

Every time the guards meet with the veterans who followed them, listening to their passionate stories and recollections, they feel a sense of "things have changed."

It's been over 20,000 years.

Although he had slept the whole way, at this moment, he clearly sensed the vicissitudes of life from the different stories of his compatriots.

As it turned out, the very things he, old Velen, and the archbishops had feared did indeed happen in each clan.

More than 20,000 years is a long time. Even for immortal beings like the Eredar, such a long time is enough for several generations to reproduce.

The children born on starships or in exile colonies no longer have any special feelings for Argus. They know it is their homeland, but having never lived there, their perception of it is merely that of "myths" told by their parents.

Just as the Draenei clan experienced a horrific act of betrayal, such as the "Socrethar Rebellion," it is not uncommon for other clans to suffer from similar incidents.

Diakum even heard from the well-connected governor of the Krokun clan that several other clans had been severely weakened by similar rebellions, ultimately allowing the Burning Legion to take advantage of their vulnerability.

The reason why the "neutral" clans, which are gradually drifting away, are alienating these conservatives who yearn to reclaim their homeland is partly due to the rise of the new generation.

Those children did not experience the lives and hardships of their parents' generation. They were born on a peaceful planet and have their own understanding of "war and peace."

The older generation can't say that the younger generation's understanding is wrong, but there are some things that are really hard to fully empathize with without experiencing them firsthand.

To put it bluntly, if we don't launch a "war of reconquest" while the "ancient Eredar" are still around, once these Eredar who actually lived on Argus are gone, the exiled clans in the Starsea will probably only ever see Argus as a beautiful name from distant stories.

"Can't wait any longer!"

That evening, Diakum had just escorted several leaders of the Krokun clan to the sacred site where Lord Argus resided when he came out to find Velen and Lady Verara discussing the Restoration Army.

Dick stepped forward and said to the two elders with deep feeling:

"Other clans either did not respond or lacked transportation to arrive in time. With the existing seven clans plus the two initiators, the Draenei and the Arcane Scholars, our number of combat-ready soldiers has exceeded 300,000, which is enough to form the main body of the Restoration Army."

It's time to issue a call to action.

The Prophet and the Headmaster, I plan to send a telegram to all the Eredar Starcrest clans on a chosen day, informing them that Lord Argus is still alive, and calling upon those who still remember their homeland to prepare to set sail from all corners of the Starcrest towards our homeland.

The more I learned from my people, the heavier my worries became; we have dragged this war on for far too long.

"We have to wait until Hatton brings the Titan's Soul back," Velen reassured.
"The dismantling of the Unified Field of Everything is an important step. Once all the Titan facilities have been properly loaded onto the ship, this voyage will inevitably begin."

"If we can wipe out the Burning Legion's high command before the War of Reconquest begins, our raid on Argus will be much smoother."

Vera also spoke up:

"Azeroth is facing a demonic invasion, with at least one high demon lord in charge. Perhaps Draenor faces a similar risk. We must fight a battle here first, and use this victory to raise the banner for our people and our compatriots to war."

Moreover, it will take Argus time to retrieve the fragments of consciousness from the seven clans.

"Yes, I acted impulsively."

Diakum nodded, and just as he was about to say something more to the two leaders, with the roar of the spirit dragon, Archbishop Yura flew over skimming the surface of the Zangarmarsh, spun around in a very cool manner, and landed gracefully beside the three leaders.

She strode forward and said to the three of them:

"The Temple of Karabor has received a signal from the fleet. The fleet of the Mother of Light, Xerah, and Admiral Sphrax has entered the Draenor system and will arrive in Draenor orbit in two hours."

We have directed their fleet to dock at the temporary starport converted by the Oronar Clan, but the Mother of Light's flagship, the Zenidal, will land directly on Draenor.

It was a modified multi-purpose frigate, just like our former Ginidal, and wouldn't cause any gravitational distortions in the world.

Yura paused here, glanced at Diakum, and whispered:
"Your 'little daughter' Yuna just hinted to me that, if needed, she could pilot one of the Mag'har orcs' two incompletely modified fel-elemental hunter ships, disguised as a Burning Legion hunter, and fire the wrong torpedo at the right time."
Uh, I think she's a bit extreme.

But thinking about it carefully, rather than waiting for the stubborn Mother of Light to arrive in Draenor and have a huge fight with you, it would be better to let her 'crash' en route. That way, the Twin Archbishops would have enough reason to take over the Legion of Light.

The proposal caused the three leaders to exchange glances. Viren's eyes flashed with strong opposition, while Ms. Verara's expression was subtle.

The two men looked at Dick, clearly letting the vigilant decide whether to do this "unpleasant thing."

"But is this how the Holy Light teaches us to act?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Diakum shook his head and replied:
"We cannot expect to achieve the right result through the wrong means. If we firmly believe that the path we are on is correct, then we must have the magnanimity to allow others to raise questions. Or do you think I would lose to the Mother of Light, who has been on an extreme path for over 20,000 years, in the field of biblical debate?"

No need for that, let our distinguished guests arrive safely.

Velen, please prepare a grand welcome banquet at the Temple of Karabor, and also ask Archbishop Isana to vacate the Temple of Aldor.

I may need to have a private conversation with the Mother of Light.
There should be no other eavesdroppers; we are going to discuss the secrets of 'Anser'.

Given the current state of the Sun God and Zera's status as 'Anser's eldest daughter,' this discussion will undoubtedly become a secret destined to be hidden.

"it is good."

Viren responded and then glared sternly at Yura, signaling her to leave with him.

Yuna certainly doesn't have these thoughts. It might have been the suggestion given to her privately by the "bad boy" Yura. This guy used to be an elite member of the Assassin's Court under Targas, a "professional" who was active in the dark areas of the world of Argus.

Just because she doesn't do bad things doesn't mean she can't plan.

After Viren left, Ms. Verara whispered:
"I think you'd better go there yourself."

"Ok?"

Dick looked at the dean, who whispered a reminder:

"If you are convinced that all Nathrezim active in the material world are servants of the eternal dead, then what Yura can think of, the 'Redeemer' Losakson who has served in the Legion of Light for a long time can also think of."

If you are certain that all Nathrezim carry a mission bestowed upon them by their masters, then I suppose that on the eve of the start of this 'war between light and darkness,' the minions lurking in the Holy Light may have already reached the end of their infiltration journey.

While Yura's suggestion was extreme, it also served as a wake-up call for us.

If Zera unfortunately dies on the way to meet you...
Regardless of who did it, this stain has been placed on our heads and can never be washed away, making conflict between our "Restoration Army" and the Holy Light Legion inevitable.

Ms. Vera shook her head and said:
“I don’t want things to go that way, but if I were the eternal one of death, I would definitely activate the ‘Holy Light Thorn’ that has been hidden for over 20,000 years at this moment.”

If you want to express goodwill
Is there a better way than rescuing people from danger?

Go, Dick, rescue the Mother of Light from the conspiracy of death, and show Xera through the minions of the Eternals just how absurd the prophecy she believes in truly is.

Debating scriptures?

Only a fool would debate scriptures!
For those who remain obstinate, the only solution is to present undeniable evidence in their faces! Even if they themselves don't believe it, the undecided bystanders will sense from it who truly represents the right side.

"Well."

Looking at his murderous-looking dean, Diakum sighed:
“You truly are the embodiment of wisdom among the ancient Eredar, madam. Even I overlooked that hidden danger. Without your reminder, this would have been a disaster. But since we're going to save it, I mean, why not do it in a ‘cool’ way?”

"Ok?"

------

"You've worked hard, soldiers."

On the flagship of the Holy Light fleet, which was sailing into the Draenor star sea, "Redeemer" Lochsason folded his golden, shimmering wings and said to a Lightforged veteran guarding the landing pod hangar:
"Admiral Sphrax sent me to check on the preparations of the 'Zenidal,' as the Mother of Light will be traveling to Draenor on this frigate to meet with Prophet Velen and Vigilant Diakum."

This is a very serious meeting that will directly impact the future of the Holy Light Legion, so we must ensure that everything goes smoothly.

"Sir, we have already inspected the frigate."

The veteran said earnestly:

“Every step was checked several times.”

"Of course, I trust you, but I still need to do my duty and check it one more time."

The glittering "Holy Light Demon King" sincerely said:

"Hopefully this won't affect your preparations."

"No, sir, please come in. You are our brother in arms, a warrior in the Holy Light. We trust you as much as we trust our own brothers."

"Yes, thank you for your trust, partner. I am deeply grateful."
