Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 722, Question 90: Sargeras has just extended a duel challenge to you.

"You all return to your respective defense zones. Lord Argus alone is sufficient to defend the Star Soul Temple. Admiral Sphrax just sent word that her fleet has detected a 'massive' demonic fleet warping into the Azeroth region from the Twisting Nether."

Kil'jaeden is launching a full-scale attack on Azeroth!

In the secret chamber of the heart, the old prophet Velen, who had rushed there, reminded the resting saviors:
"The Lightforged Fleet has confirmed the hull numbers of those demon warships, and Sphrax has confirmed that the demons about to land on the world are all the Burning Legion's absolute elite in various star sectors."

Those are demons that Kil'jaeden personally oversaw and trained over the past 25,000 years. Their destructive power, fighting spirit, and weaponry are on a completely different level from the demons we usually face; we must not underestimate them.

"My God, the world is really going to end!"

Pale-faced, clearly exhausted from overexertion, Khadgar leaned wearily against a stone statue. The young man, dressed in a deep purple archmage's robe, muttered:
"You mean the demons and their minions we've been facing for the past month or so have just been cannon fodder?"

"Although I hate to admit it, it's true."

Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, leaning on his oak cane, said in a low voice:

"Whether it's this time or the last time the corrupted demon army was brought, it's far inferior to the elite demon army that invaded the world ten thousand years ago."

The demons under the Conqueror's command are completely different from the demons under the command of other great demons. The Great Prophet was right; the bitter battle is about to begin, or rather, the real challenge is only just beginning.

Since Lord Argus is guarding the Chamber of the Heart, there is indeed no need for any other saviors to remain here.

Furthermore, Lord Argus brought back the Tide Stone of Gorgonath, which, if given to the Tidehunters, can quell the raging storms currently blocking the world.

This makes mutual support possible.

But I seriously doubt whether the devil will give us that chance.

"What are you all still doing here? Go back and defend immediately."

In the flash of teleportation, Lady Aegwynn returned to the Chamber of Hearts carrying the Scepter of Sargeras.

She yelled at the saviors to get moving immediately, but just as she was about to open the door for them, her expression changed, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, which startled everyone.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Aegwynn waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to worry. She held the Scepter of Sargeras upright in front of her, activating it to transform it into the "Gate of Change," a teleportation spell she had recently developed. It consisted of only one portal, yet it could send different users to different areas according to their needs.

It is clear that the world teleportation of Draenor, which he single-handedly supported, brought Aegwynn a rare breakthrough in knowledge under immense pressure.

After the saviors left the Chamber of the Heart, Aegwynn, unable to hold on any longer, collapsed to the ground. She was caught by the quick-thinking Great Prophet, and immediately warm holy light flowed into her body.

But Aegwynn waved her hand and said:
"Don't bother, old Velen. I'm just too tired. Teleporting to Draenor and comforting Kalecgos the Ruthless has exhausted me. I need to rest and receive healing from the World Mother in this Star Soul Temple."

However, I don't feel comfortable entrusting this staff to anyone else.

Please call Vera over; I need to temporarily entrust my duties to her.

Before Verara can sacrifice herself for her homeland, she must first shed her blood for Azeroth.

"Don't talk nonsense, ma'am."

Viren said in a light but firm tone:
"The Eredar and the Azerothians have long been brothers, more than allies, just like the brother-sister relationship between the Lord of Argus and the Lord of Azeroth."

We are happy to contribute our strength to this world, but you really need rest now. Your Titan Iron Body can hardly withstand the healing of the Holy Light. Please rest immediately. Verara will be here soon.

"I have one last question."

Aegwynn wiped the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, looked at Velen, and said:

“Kil'jaeden is right here, and he will definitely come. Considering how Sarkaz fell, I think you and he need to settle things once and for all. He won't allow himself to die at the hands of anyone but you.”

But are you truly determined, Prophet?

"I have enough determination, but not here."

Viren's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained gentle yet firm as he said:

"Where is our homeland? Kil'jaeden's all-out effort was just a trial, just like what Sachir did in Draenor, and the words of the forgeers."

If the Restoration Army can't even get past them, then their ideal of returning to Argus and restoring the nation will remain just a pipe dream.

We must defeat the conqueror and his doomsday army.

Only in this way will we be qualified to challenge their master, Sargeras, who is an insurmountable obstacle.

Meanwhile, outside the city of Striking Fortress on the eastern continent.

Emperor Lothar, who had just led the Arathi Knights to defeat the demons while fully armed, was now staring in disbelief at the teleportation beams rising and falling across the distant plains.

Those streams of fel energy represent a war mode that is completely different from the way demons appeared before.

The beams of light reminded Lothar of the Lightforged Chapter's pattern when they stormed into battle, but what emerged from those beams were hordes of strange demons.

They still looked like ordinary demons, but what was strange was that this demon warband had an unusually large number of heavy weapons. In the first round of battlefield teleportation alone, ten magic mechs were thrown down, and the magic steel destroyer armor, which was previously only equipped as elite units, was now available in one or two units in each demon squad.

The most outrageous is
"This demonic chapter has no demon guards!"

Beside Emperor Lothar, his court sorcerer advisor, "Black Claw" Galdrus, while maintaining the levitating detection of the strange demonic skull, spoke in a shocked tone to his emperor and the surrounding commanders:
"Did you see that? The lowest-ranking demon unit in this warband is the 'Skywrath Guardian'!"
By the Twisting Nether, the commanders of other demonic warbands are nothing but cannon fodder here. Moreover, these guys' Felsteel armor is specially made; I can see the cursed light on their weapons even from this distance.

These creatures are different from the demons before. Don't get stabbed by their weapons, or your souls will suffer the torment of the distorted void.

As he spoke, Black Claw professionally bound a "soul stone" to His Majesty the Emperor he served, in order to prevent His Majesty from dying unexpectedly in the war.

The fact that this warlock master, who had previously studied in the Order of the Shadowwalkers for a period of time, was so cautious was enough to demonstrate the difference between this demonic warband and the one before him.

Lothar decided to be cautious and let the mages bombard the area first.

Before his mages could even finish casting their group spell, the enemy launched a barrage of attacks.

The fel cannons they deployed were incredibly accurate and powerful, and a single barrage nearly wiped out Lothar's mages. Even worse, at the same time the fel cannons opened fire, the well-trained demons began their advance.

What the hell!

What kind of bizarre "Demon Army - Barrage Advance" tactic is this?
Is this kind of tactic, which requires extreme discipline, really something that demons with nothing but hacking and slashing in their heads can master?
As the demons charged toward their lines of defense, supported by the fel-powered mechs' breaching formation and barrage of fire, Lothar's mind was reeling. A sense of danger pierced the back of his head like needles.

The emperor had become aware of Kil'jaeden the Conqueror's strategic shift.

It was clearly fed up with the red tape and wanted to test the true strength of the Restoration Army and its allies.

That great demon king is about to get serious.

------

"Just yesterday, the number of undead from Azeroth being led into the Shadowlands surged to 1520%! Ten times the casualties, and all of them were soldiers from mortal kingdoms."

"Saint Devos sent me to report this news to you: the war in Azeroth has clearly entered a new phase."

A Kyrian messenger brought Diakum important news in the floating city of the Brokers, causing the Vigilant's expression to turn grave. However, the highly agitated Dual-World Walker beside him asked:

"The Arbitrators have crashed. Even if you receive the souls, you have nowhere to judge them. Once those souls are brought into Oribos, they will be cast into the Maw. So, what exactly have you been doing with those souls all this time?"

"The Saints designated temporary settlement areas in several small kingdoms near the Fortress of Ascension."

The Grylls messenger honestly replied:
“To prevent souls from falling into the Abyss, protecting them is a necessary measure. However, the number of souls we guide every day is extremely high, and those small kingdoms are already overcrowded. This is even after the Queen of Winter sent the Wild Hunting Corps to take all the Nature Walkers to Azure Fairyland.”

However, the Saints are now in contact with the Punishers of Revendreth.

Although the Arbitrators cannot exercise their arbitral functions, the Venthyr Punishers can still use their power of sin to determine which souls are guilty and deserve punishment. The Marquises of Maldraxxus have also dispatched recruiters to recruit valiant souls to Maldraxxus.

The messenger hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"Many brothers and sisters are discussing this privately. We think that if the arbitrators are not reinstated in the future, it is highly likely that all countries will end up in the current situation, relying on the power of death held by each country to determine the belonging of souls."

Such judgments are vague and less efficient than those made by arbitrators, and may even lead to misjudgments.

But in any case, this will at least allow the order of the Shadowlands to resume.

The Saints believed that after the major events in Zaremotis concluded, a solution needed to be discussed and agreed upon by all the council members of the Shadowlands. "You're worrying unnecessarily."

Diakum said:
"The collapse of destiny does not mean the collapse of order; it is merely an evolution and reshaping of the original rules, not a complete abandonment."

I estimate that after the Lord of War and the Queen of Winter complete their 'major task,' they will still create a new arbitrator. For you executors, the methods and styles of action may not be much different from before.

No change happens overnight.

"That's good."

The Gryphon messenger visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's clear that they, who are used to performing their duties diligently, are indeed somewhat uneasy and helpless about the current situation.

After the messenger left, the Twin Realms Traveler turned back and asked:

“Let’s continue with what we were talking about earlier. Are you sure our world-soul ‘Karesh the Ruthless’ truly resides in the heart of Draenor? This is extremely important for ethereal beings and brokers; there’s no room for carelessness.”

"You can go see for yourself, but remember what I said: this matter must be kept secret!"

Diakum solemnly reminded him:

"Among the many factions of you ethereal beings, there are some that are so radical that they can be described as 'corrupted'. I can't even imagine what terrible things they would do if they knew that the Ruthless Kalecgos was still alive."

Considering the inherent close relationship between Voidlings and the Void Force, and the fact that the Ruthless Kalecgos has resided within Dimensius for far too long, I estimate that your Star Souls are highly likely to choose to walk the Void Path in the future.
While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I really don't want to see a radical, corrupted Titan emerge.

Therefore, He will walk the gentlest path of the void and become a void deity.

"Then please become His 'guardian'!"

The dual-realm traveler said excitedly:
“Aren’t you following the path of light and shadow? With your knowledge in the void and your extraordinary personal morality, I can’t find a more suitable void mentor than you.”

“I can’t do it. I walk the path of eclipse. If even Dimensius cannot withstand the eclipse, then other Voidwalkers should not tread this path.”

Diakum placed his hands on the Twinworld Walker's shoulders to calm it down.

他 说:

"Moreover, before you ask for help, you might as well think about yourself first. In the material star sea, your research on the Dao of Void is so profound that not many people can surpass you, sir."

"Don't forget you are also a Void Master, so instead of asking me, an outsider, for help, why don't you emulate my relationship with Lord Argus and take on the mission of guiding Kalecgos yourself?"

"I?"

The void energy beneath the Twin Realms Walker's straps pulsed into exaggerated "light strips".

It was clear that it lacked confidence, but it also felt that Diakum was right.

Kalecgos is the ethereal star soul of them, the god of their homeland. Although Kalecgos's celestial body and star soul have undergone a strange separation, this cannot change the deep connection between the ethereal beings and the merciless.

The spirits are all children of the heartless.

"So, once I return to the material world, it seems I'll have to seriously establish my order and then lead my followers and apprentices to reside permanently in Draenor."

The Twin Realms Traveler sighed and said:

"But given the current leaky state of the Voidworld society, I really have no confidence in protecting the secret. They will find it sooner or later, and all Voidworlds are His children, even the radicals have the same claim."

"Therefore, I will give you the 'Heart of Darkness' as a gift, but of course, that will have to wait until we return to the material world."

Diakum patted it on the shoulder and said:

"The Darkheart can serve as a medium of connection between you and the Unfeeling, but how to handle the relationship between the Star Soul, Draenor beings, and the Void is up to you."

You can discuss this with Yrel. I think the Draenei clan would be very willing to help you. For my disciple Yrel, her legendary experience of protecting three Star Souls in her lifetime is enough to make her the leader of all Eredar in the future.

Unfortunately, ten thousand years wouldn't be enough for her to accomplish so many great feats.

I need to calm down!

The dual-realm traveler felt like his energy body's brain was about to explode.

It rubbed its forehead and said:
"I need to calm down. This is too important. I need to make a decision."

Furthermore, we must master the Firstborn Runes; otherwise, the 'Cryptic Order' will have no right to protect our fragile Star Soul from harm on the grand cosmic stage of the future.

If the previous journey to Zaremotis was merely to satisfy the ethereal beings' greed for knowledge, then now, this trip has become a 'Guardian' trial that all ethereal beings and spirit mediums must complete.

correct!

Rafam and Wayne Nali.

They should also know this news, and they must share this burden with me. I must choose the guards of the ruthless with the same care and rigor you would have shown in choosing a savior.

是 的
This matter can't be rushed, but it must be completed as soon as possible!

The Twin Realms Traveler muttered to himself as he left.

Judging from its appearance, this guy probably isn't in the mood to care about anything else lately.

But based on Diakum's experience, he felt that the Ruthless's arrival in Draenor was not a good thing; it was a "source of turmoil" that would surely cause endless chaos afterward.

However, Draenor is now a satellite of Azeroth.
Hmm, is the world of orcs also going to be affected by Ai-chan's "misfortunes-ridden" magical constitution?

As Dick was thinking this, he was about to finish his prayer for the day when he suddenly heard Lady Elune's urgent call. He paused for a moment, then accepted the "invitation," allowing his mind to instantly travel to an unfamiliar place under the moonlight.

This is a massive fleet!

There are a total of 28 Storm Fortress-class flagships alone, and countless other warships of various sizes. They have just completed a space war with the Burning Legion's fleet.

The demon fleet was annihilated as expected, but in the center of this massive Holy Light fleet, a ship caught Diakum's attention.

All because that warship, which should have been protected by holy light, is now filled with the magnificent aura of natural life.

"That's...Ionar?"

Dick said in surprise:

"Old Man Hatton found it! The Holy Light Fleet is escorting it to Azeroth? That's wonderful!"

"Don't be so happy yet, Diakum."

Lady Elune reminded:

"Sargeras just cast his gaze in this direction; this fleet has been targeted by the Dark Titans."

Sargeras may not act personally, but a constant stream of demonic fleets will try to stop them. Most importantly, Sargeras may also appear once Eonar arrives in Azeroth.

At the very least, they would lose a power incarnation in the past.
Do you know what this means? "

"this means"

Dick stretched his hands, as if he were holding a sword, and said:
"I am about to face the Dark Titans on the land of Azeroth."

"Are we confident of winning?"

"Look at what you're saying, it's fifty-fifty. If Mr. Sa puts in five parts of the effort and cuts me into five equal pieces, just kidding, I don't know if I have any chance of winning."

But I know I will never back down.

So let Him come.

"Either in Azeroth or on Argus, we have to settle this."
