In comparison, even if we disregard Abidis's actual hidden forces, his forces on the surface would be no less formidable than any of the Alliance or Horde armies in the later stages of the game!

The firepower equipment is not even on the same level.

Moreover, the powerful individuals that Josie sent were not just for show.

His youngest son, Ben, would be considered a top-tier demigod in Azeroth.

Even the weakest Loki wouldn't be much weaker than the famous heroes of the various races of Azeroth.

If this lineup can't clear the Tomb of Sargeras dungeon, Josie will just swallow the Time Gem on the spot!

But I never expected that the Ancient One wouldn't follow the plan at all.

Well... let's just take it one step at a time. It was unrealistic for Josie to completely control the behavior of an existence at the level of the Ancient One.

..............................

Meanwhile, in Azeroth, Abidis's fleet had been at sea for three days, and was more than halfway through the voyage. They were now in the vast ocean, with not even a small island in sight.

Having just finished her meal and returned to her cabin, Maiev Shadowsong immediately locked the door and began rummaging through her belongings, preparing to arm herself.

It must be said that, as the leader of the Watchers, Maiev Shadowsong has an extraordinary sense of danger.

For the first three days at sea, she felt nothing, and everyone on the King was fine.

But starting this morning, Maiev noticed that something was off about the atmosphere on the ship.

This made her instinctively feel a little uneasy.

Is it that human lord who wants to do something to them?

But it doesn’t make sense!

This human lord has acted with considerable wisdom and intelligence from the moment he first received information about him until they made direct contact. He shouldn't have done something so irrational.

This feeling of unease reached its peak when they went to eat earlier—on the Monarch, apart from Abidis, who was the Grand Lord, almost everyone ate in the "dining hall," and these guests were no exception.

The night elves on the ship were somewhat unaccustomed to this, but they didn't say much.

Although they are an "immortal" race, the nature-loving night elves are not spoiled and are highly adaptable.

But today, a sudden sense of unease made Maiev return to her cabin without eating—who knows if there might be something wrong with the food?

Regardless of where this unease comes from, she must be prepared for battle.

This is an experience and habit she has maintained since the ancient war.

This instinct for danger has saved her many times.

Just as she finished getting ready, and was about to put on the Watchers' signature armor and cloak, there was a knock on the door!

"Who?" Maiev asked warily.

"It's me, Ms. Shadowsong. I have some things to ask you about after logging in!" Abidis's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" Upon hearing that it was Abidis, Maiev relaxed slightly, but she did not completely let her guard down.

She walked slowly to the hatch, leaned against it and listened for a moment. Finding no other sounds outside except for Abidis's breathing, she slowly opened the door.

But as the door opened, what greeted her was a dark dagger!

Chapter 353 All Escape Routes Cut Off

Maiev, as the commander of the Night Elf Wardens, is herself a top-tier assassin who is extremely skilled in assassination.

His signature move, Shadow Strike, has been used to assassinate countless powerful figures from various races.

So although the assassination came very suddenly, the experienced Maiev did not panic or retreat!

Maiev knew very well that most assassinations were not impulsive acts, but rather had multiple backup plans to ensure success.

If she backs down, it will likely only invite further attacks from the other side, putting her in an even more passive position.

So she chose to move forward.

And she has the ability!

Just as the dagger was about to pierce her throat, her figure instantly became illusory.

When she reappeared, she was already on the deck outside the door.

This is another of her signature skills, and also one of the most difficult secret techniques for a Watcher to master—Blink! With powerful shadow energy, she breaks through space and teleports to a location within her line of sight.

In some ways, this move is similar to Shadowstep, a high-level rogue's move in Azeroth, but it's a more advanced version.

Maiev, who had just escaped the dagger attack, hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when she felt a sudden weight on her body and almost collapsed to her knees!

A magic circle appeared on the ground within the deck area where she was located.

Oh no, I've been infected again!

Mavi's mind immediately went into overdrive, and she tried to continue using Blink to escape. But the next second, several black energy chains emerged from the formation, binding her body tightly and completely suppressing the power within her!

"Heh, the renowned Watcher lives up to his name. It's just a pity we already know everything about you... Give up and surrender, Maiev Shadowsong!" Just as Maiev was trying to struggle, a familiar voice rang out. Maiev looked up and saw that it was Abidis who spoke.

Beside him were a long-haired human youth playing with a dagger and a figure shrouded in a red robe, floating in mid-air.

The young man playing with the dagger was none other than Loki.

Although Loki had been wielding a two-handed greatsword for many years under Josie's influence, he was still the most skilled assassin and dagger user among the people Josie sent.

He was also the one who first struck Maiev with a dagger.

As for the Red Robe Mage, she was the Shadow Lady whom he subdued after dealing with the He-Man siblings and the Hod Empire.

This Shadow Lady was the same Dark Archmage who fought Josie when he first arrived in that star field. Her strength was second only to the Ancient One and Ben.

Moreover, after the Ancient One controlled C'Thun, she generously "lent" her some power, since the Shadow Lady was a user of dark magic, which was a perfect match for the power of the Old Gods!

The magic circle that trapped Maiev was also set up by her.

"Abidis, do you know what you're doing? The wrath of the Night Elf Empire is not something you can withstand!" Maiev, now a prisoner, warned Abidis, who stood in the distance, her eyes blazing with fury.

“Tsk, under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case... It’s just a pity that your Night Elf race is probably in trouble!” However, Abidis didn’t care about Maiev’s warning at all.

Yes, the Night Elf Empire is indeed powerful, but compared to the Aqir, it's really not enough!

If the guardian dragons hadn't participated in the War of the Shifting Sands, the night elves would never have won. In fact, several of the four dragon clans lost direct descendants of their dragon kings.

However, the bloodlines of those dragon kings have now returned to their own clans... With them around, it won't be so easy for the news of the Aqi insect race breaking the seal to reach the ears of the dragons.

Furthermore, with the Ancient One in command, the current Aqir are no longer as mindless as they were during the War of the Shifting Sands, relying solely on their numerical advantage!

"Wait... Damn it, you did Angela's thing?" It has to be said, Maiev is very intelligent.

Abidis's comment that the Night Elves might be in dire straits immediately brought to mind the information Tyrande had received about the Aqir breaking the seal.

"Hey, you're pretty smart, but that's not important. From now on, none of this will concern you anymore!" Abidis was a little surprised to be exposed by Maiev, but he didn't care.

Long before Maiev, all the night elves in the fleet had already been controlled; Maiev was the last one.

Moreover, on this vast ocean, he wasn't worried at all about the news getting out.

As for the future... there is no future for these night elves, including Maiev.

"You will pay for this!" Hearing Abidis's words, Maiev thought he was about to kill her to silence her. Knowing that she could not escape, she could only utter a harsh threat and then close her eyes to wait for the final moment.

But what awaited her was only a shadow spell from Lady Shadow, and Maiev immediately lost consciousness.

After she lost consciousness, Abidis immediately put her into the system space.

Murder to cover it up? Are you kidding me?

Josie offered Maiev a high price, even higher than what she offered for Vera back then.

Abidis couldn't bear to kill her.

"Next up is Val'sharah. I wonder how things are going with the Ancient One!" After dealing with Maiev and all the night elves in the fleet, Abidis looked towards the Broken Isles.

..............................

At the same time, in Silithus.

The Night Elf Sentinel army has just arrived on the west coast of Silithus!

Unlike in the game, Silithus is surrounded by mountains, and the only way to travel there is through a complicated route: Tanaris – Un'Goro Crater – Silithus.

In the real world, there is indeed a landing point on the west coast of Silithus.

Silithus can be reached by setting sail from Feathermoon Fortress in Feralas and heading down the coast.

This is why the Night Elves value the Feralas region so much.

Besides Cenarion Hold, this is the second line of defense for the Night Elves against the Aqir insectoids.

After all, compared to the resource-scarce Silithus, Feralas, with its superior environment, is clearly the most suitable place to raise an army.

The commander of this landing sentinel fleet is none other than Tyrande, who hastily left Undying City a few days ago.

“Teacher, all troops have landed!” A night elf female officer walked up to Tyrande and said.

She is none other than Shandris Feathermoon, Tyrande's personal disciple, who will one day make a name for herself in Azeroth.

"Let's go!" Upon hearing her disciple's report, Tyrande nodded and immediately announced their departure, preparing to continue their support of Cenarion Hold.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a roaring sound came from the sea behind her.
