Everyone turned around and saw their own warships being attacked from who-knows-where, some engulfed in flames, others reduced to piles of broken wood.

Their escape route has been cut off!

Chapter 354 The Fall of Stars

"The enemy is underwater. Send some of the druid forces into the water, and others in the air to guide the archers and blade throwers!" Both Tyrande and Shandris Feathermoon were very experienced in warfare. Seeing the trails of water heading towards the ships, they immediately knew that the enemy was underwater and took immediate action.

If it were the army of a human kingdom, they would be at a disadvantage in this situation.

After all, in this medieval fantasy world, underwater enemies are very difficult to detect and lock onto, which is one of the important reasons why the Naga were able to dominate the entire ocean.

However, this is not an insurmountable problem for the Night Elves. The most important reason is that one of the Night Elves' most powerful classes, the Druid, can go into the water and fly.

Although Tyrande's force was mainly composed of sentinels, there were also a considerable number of druids among them.

Upon receiving their orders, the druids each used their own strengths, either transforming into sea lions and diving into the water, or into storm crows and soaring into the sky, using their sharp eyesight to search for the enemy.

However, not long after these druids entered the water, they were horrified to discover that what awaited them underwater was a dense swarm of insectoids, and among the insectoids were also some Naga figures.

Behind these Zerg and Naga were enormous, unknown vessels hundreds of meters long, launching long, black weapons at the Night Elf fleet on the water.

If it gets hit, it's a huge, non-explosive thing.

Why can insect swarms move underwater? And what are those enormous creatures?

It's important to know that because the night elves of this era were "immortal," many of the druids present were veterans of the War of the Shifting Sands.

They had never known that the Zerg could move underwater, and that they were extremely agile.

And those enormous creatures...

Of course, they couldn't possibly know, because these underwater insects were created by C'Thun under the orders of the Ancient One, using his own power and a batch of unhatched Aqi eggs, modeled after the naiads on Earth to build a powerful underwater force!

Dragonfly nymphs are the larvae of dragonflies.

Many people's impression of dragonflies may only be that they can catch mosquitoes and that they were fun toys when they were children.

What few people know is that dragonfly larvae, nymphs, are extremely ferocious underwater hunters, far more terrifying than their adults.

Almost all aquatic insects, small fish, and shrimp that are smaller than them, the same size as them, or even slightly larger than them are their prey.

Fortunately, the nymphs are only a few centimeters long and do not affect humans.

Now, the Naga army, created in the same way C'Thun created the Aqir, is each one larger than a lion or tiger...

As a result, those druids who rashly entered the water were like rabbits falling into a pack of wolves, instantly torn to pieces by countless giant nymphs.

So the raptor druids searching for the enemy in the sky, and the night elf legions on the shore, saw that the already turbulent sea was covered with a large amount of blood and countless severed limbs.

The night elves didn't really think much of it at first, after all, blood could come from an enemy.

But there were still specks of starlight floating on the sea.

The expressions of all the night elves changed, for this scene was exactly what it looked like when a large number of night elves died and their souls dissipated.

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening underwater, a seal leaped out of the water and tried to climb ashore.

But the next second, a ferocious giant worm leaped out of the water and dragged the seal underwater.

However, there are no seals in this area, so this seal is actually a druid.

However, several more druids quickly emerged from the water and sped towards the shore.

They had to escape; there were too many of these underwater insects, and they had no chance of winning.

"It's the Zerg! Sisters, attack!" Shandis Feathermoon immediately ordered the archer units to attack.

Countless arrows rained down from the sky, striking the ferocious insectoid druids who were pursuing them.

Every Night Elf Sentinel's archery skills have been honed over hundreds or even thousands of years, making accidental injuries virtually impossible. The pursuing Zerg did indeed suffer some heavy losses, allowing many fleeing Druids to escape with their lives.

But before the night elves on land could even feel relieved, they felt a tremor from the ground.

"Watch out! There's something underground!" Tyrande, with her keen intuition, immediately shouted.

Many night elves heard her words, but how should they be careful in this situation?

The next second, accompanied by two loud booms, two enormous creatures burst through the ground and appeared in the sight of the night elf army, swallowing several night elf soldiers who were unable to dodge in time.

These two behemoths are none other than the first boss of the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj in the original timeline, the giant sandworm raider Kurinnax, and the eighth boss of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, the super burrowing worm Ouro, who is even more difficult to defeat than the final boss C'Thun!

The appearance of the two terrifying behemoths instantly disrupted the night elf army's formation. To make matters worse, the craters created by the two behemoths also became a tunnel for transporting troops.

Countless Aqir insect soldiers poured out of the giant pit and began to wreak havoc on the night elf army, following the two behemoths.

"Damn it! Guards, follow me!" Seeing this, Shandis Yuyue picked up her moon blade and led her guards to charge towards the two giant beasts.

If they can't deal with these two giant beasts and block those two deep pits, they're all doomed.

Behind her, Tyrande knelt on the ground and began to pray.

Of course, it wasn't just a simple prayer.

As she prayed, a faint, ethereal light began to emanate from her.

The once clear blue sky suddenly began to darken.

The two moons in the sky, which had been dimly lit, suddenly became extremely bright.

This sudden change caused the two behemoths that had been rampaging through the night elf army to feel extremely uneasy, and they immediately charged towards Tyrande's location without any regard for the consequences.

However, on the way, they were desperately stopped by Sandy Moon and her personal guards.

As time went on, Tyrande's radiance grew brighter and brighter, and countless stars began to twinkle around the two bright moons in the sky.

These starlight points are even growing larger and falling.

Yes, the stars are falling.

This is the Priestess of the Moon's most terrifying ultimate move, and also one of the rarest Legion-level skills in the Warcraft universe, known as "Starfall" or "Lunar Orbiter Cannon"!

Only the most devout priestesses of the moon can communicate with the moon goddess Elune and use this skill.

Among the Night Elves today, besides Tyrande, only her disciple Shandris Feathermoon could achieve this.

As the stars, formed from pure energy, fell, they also possessed an automatic target-locking function, avoiding all the night elves and bombarding the swarm of insects on the beach.

The once incredibly powerful insect soldiers, once struck by these "stars," would have their bodies begin to smoke and disintegrate as if splashed with sulfuric acid, and would quickly lose their lives.

The two ferocious behemoths, Kurinnax and Oro, also let out painful howls under the bombardment of the stars.

However, they soon seemed to receive some kind of order and began to retreat.

However, under the command of Shandris Feathermoon, the Night Elf army clearly did not want to let these monsters who had harmed their comrades escape so easily, and they fought desperately to surround and kill them.

Shandris herself leaped directly onto Kurinnax's back, wielding her moonblade and relentlessly attacking the monster's head.

Seeing this, Oro had no intention of helping at all and simply crawled into the hole and escaped.

Before escaping, he even used his abilities to collapse the tunnel, cutting off Kurinnax's escape route.

Companions? Don't be ridiculous. Although they are all insects, they are not from the same species.

The nautilus legions in the sea also retreated immediately after Tyrande began casting Starfall.

Apart from a few unlucky guys who were diving and chasing the druids, they didn't suffer too many losses.

Sensing the enemy's retreat, Tyrande gradually stopped praying, and the starlight and moonlight began to dim again, while the sunlight shone brightly once more.

“Teacher, our sisters…” Shandris Feathermoon, her body covered in Zerg fluids, walked to Tyrande’s side and choked up.

"It's alright, Elune will protect them, my child!" Tyrande said weakly as she hugged her disciple to comfort her.

This kind of legion-level skill is still very costly for her.

Fortunately, the enemy retreated, and they avoided the crisis of total annihilation.

The two quickly composed themselves and began directing the remaining troops to clean up the battlefield. While sending scouts towards Cenarion Hold to investigate the situation, they also sent a request for reinforcements to Hyjal.

Having suffered heavy losses upon landing, it will likely be difficult for this force to play a significant role in the upcoming battles against the Aqir.

Therefore, reinforcements are urgently needed!

Furthermore, in her plea for help, Tyrande commanded Fandral to awaken Malfurion.

Judging from the Aqir's performance just now, just like in the last War of the Shifting Sands, it seems that relying solely on the Night Elves will be insufficient to deal with this terrifying race.

We must seek help from the guardian dragon.

Among the night elves, Malfurion was the one with the best relationship with the dragons!

"...The stars are falling... Elune, this is indeed a difficult situation!" Just as Tyrande and Shandris were making various arrangements, on the distant Silithus mountain peak, which even the Storm Raven could not see, the Ancient One, who had been directing the insect swarm from behind the scenes, looked at the two moons in the sky whose brilliance was hidden by the sunlight and couldn't help but squint.

The reason she made the Zerg swarm retreat just now wasn't solely because Tyrande was so powerful.

In fact, the damage caused by Tyrande's attack was negligible compared to the sheer number of Aqir swarms.

If the Ancient One were willing, it would only take a few minutes to overwhelm Tyrande and the Night Elf reinforcements with a swarm of insects.

But just as Tyrande used Starfall, the Ancient One sensed the arrival of a powerful will... a will far surpassing that of Arithm.

Without a doubt, this is Elune, the only true god in the Warcraft universe that Josie had repeatedly emphasized to the Ancient One!

Having sensed the other party's power and not being able to discern their specific attitude towards the situation in Azeroth, the Ancient One did not want to provoke them, much less confront such a being directly.

Unless… Gu Yi narrowed his eyes, and then his entire figure disappeared into the darkness.
