This is the reception room of the Mage Tower in the center of Theramore Island, and it is also the most important place in Theramore. For a Mage, welcoming guests to his Mage Tower means the greatest trust and respect. From here From a point of view, Jaina, who has become the leader of the forces, still maintains her habit of being an archmage.
Although our arrival was huge and full of strong pretense... ahem, it felt like a wind, but Jaina obviously didn't make enough arrangements for this welcome ceremony, which is also understandable, after all, she even had all this before. I'm not sure if it's not a prank by some strong man, and I even wonder if we are another batch of invaders from another world. Naturally, it is impossible to arrange any grand welcome ceremony, and the time is tight, so it is just a formality , several of our leaders hurried to Jaina's reception room and started a brief meeting.
None of the people present were politicians who put their minds on useless face-saving projects, so no one cared about the trivial details of those boring banquets, but quickly focused on the most important things at the moment.
First of all, according to our request, Jaina gave us a detailed introduction to the current situation of the world of Azeroth as much as possible.
Although I know that the situation in this world may be different from the "plot" we are familiar with, but now, I still want to feel that the real world of Azeroth is really very different from the world projected on the earth.
Of course, I'm not just referring to the fact that Jaina actually has "paroxysmal thinking rampages", but more about the historical process of this world.
To give the simplest example, the arrival of the Burning Legion has been postponed.
That's right, we originally thought that the situation we would face would be quite bad, even so bad that we would encounter a full-scale attack by the Burning Legion as soon as we landed, but no one expected that the situation turned out to be the opposite. The fleeing orcs were already in Kalim Get a firm foothold, even Thrall has established the prototype of the country, Jaina has also established a stable human base on Theramore Island, and has formal exchanges with the night elves, and in the far east continent, the undead Scourge Although the raging is still going on, the remnants of human power are already on the rise, and what is even more incomprehensible is that the Forgotten have already established a country!
Sylvanas actually got rid of the control of the Lich King ahead of time, or in other words, the power of the Lich King was weakened in this world, although the Scourge of the Undead still brought great pain to the world of Azeroth, But at least Sylvanas was not hindered any more. Even when she led the Forsaken who got rid of mind control to establish the kingdom of the undead in Lordaeron, the Lich King's army was driven out without any resistance. Out of the Tirisfal region!
Of course, despite gaining freedom in advance, the life of the Forsaken is not much better. It is well known that undead creatures are rejected in the world of the living. Although they are no longer minions of the Lich King, this does not mean that humans The alliance forces headed by them can accept them, so so far, the Forsaken led by Cirvanas is still fighting alone, struggling to resist the attacks of the undead natural disasters trying to regain the lost land and the continuous appearance of the monsters on the mainland. Demons—yes, demons have only just appeared on the world of Azeroth until now! Although there are reports of small groups of demons appearing all over the world, these demons seem to be too low-key, and even Jaina's sentries have only had the only battle with the demon's exploration force until now.
At the same time, we also know that these scattered vanguard troops of the Burning Legion did not enter Azeroth through the Dark Portal. No one knows what method these demons used. Appearing in people's sights, and the organization and actions of these demons look quite chaotic, not like the regular army of the Burning Legion at all. You must know that although the Burning Legion is composed of barbaric demons, their strict military discipline is well known , even because of the iron-blooded management method, the military discipline of the Burning Legion can be called a model army, and there is no shortage of demons who are relatively weak but extremely good at tactics. The small group of demons that appeared in Azeroth can't even be called militias. They all have chaotic military discipline and lack of tactics. Apart from the fact that they are born with a body that is several times stronger than ordinary people, they are nothing compared to Azeroth's army. There is no comparison, even the orcs with the most extensive military discipline have become strategic experts compared with them!
However, they are indeed soldiers of the Burning Legion, which has been confirmed after fighting each other. Although there are no prisoners left, there are still many signs of the Burning Legion—unless there are also those who pull the banner in the demon world There are hooligans who pull tiger skins, and a group of unemployed vagrants secretly make some Burning Legion military cards to eat and drink in Azeroth, but obviously, the possibility of this is too low.
Although they are all such miscellaneous troops, they have not lowered the vigilance of the residents of Azeroth at all, not only because demons are synonymous with cunning, but also because the way they appear is too mysterious...
How much power is needed to teleport across the world? Without the help of the Dark Portal, even the most powerful demons would never have come to the world of Azeroth on their own, and due to the revision of the world's laws, the more powerful demons are bound in this respect , and although it is easier for weaker demons to enter Azeroth, they cannot enter Azeroth casually. At least, a strong enough Warlock is an indispensable condition.
However, those miscellaneous demons just appeared.
Portal of Darkness? Since the orcs were beaten back, the Portal of Darkness has been under strict surveillance. Although many people don't know whether the Portal of Darkness can still be used, and whether demons will use this portal to enter this world, it does not affect humans. Be vigilant about it, until now, the Dark Portal is still watched by a large number of masters! Jaina swears to me, there's no movement in that place!
Warlocks making trouble? Less likely! Not to mention that warlocks, a shadowy profession that deals with demons, are now boycotted by the whole world. Not only are their numbers rare, but they will be hunted down by the whole world as long as they take a little action. There are a lot of hidden strengths, and those demon soldiers who were eliminated did not have the magic mark of being enslaved by the warlock!
The remaining possibility is the explanation that the arcane experiments caused accidents and caused the demons to enter this world. After all, the demons first set their sights on the world of Azeroth because they were attracted by the arcane fluctuations of this world, and similar situations It also happened, but the possibility of this is not greater than the possibility of warlocks making trouble. There is no other reason. Now, the dangerous consequences of large-scale magic experiments indiscriminately have become the common sense of all mages in the world, even the most careless The mage also knows to set up an enchantment before conducting the experiment to prevent the magic fluctuations from getting out of control. What's more, the appearance of small groups of demons is not a special case or two, but occurs from time to time in various places, although there are no signs of large-scale occurrence , but this can also rule out the consequences of magic experiments—unless the senior mages all over the world are brain-dead and forgetful enough to not know what the Burning Legion is.
Although the situation looks much more optimistic than we imagined, the real situation is not so easy. The emergence of a small group of demons has brought Jaina a lot of pressure. She knows that there is a group of terrifying enemies that can destroy the world. I was staring at each other, and the other party might come at any time, but they didn't move at all, and this kind of calm still revealed strange things everywhere. Just imagining this kind of feeling makes people feel depressed. To be honest, even if it is Tens of thousands of demons fell from the sky at the scene, and it would be much more comfortable for us to fight than to hang like this.
And the second thing that worries Jaina and her allies is the strength of the demons—too strong!
When I contacted Jaina for the first time a few days ago, she mentioned that the army of demons had come to Kalimdor and fought fiercely with her own army. Now it seems that the "army of demons" should be It's an exaggeration, and it should be the result of Jaina's intelligence officer's nervousness, but the fierce fighting is true.
Just a motley army composed of less than 30 demons almost wiped out the entire army of 3,000 elite human infantry!
It is true that demons are stronger than humans, and their shadow magic is even more troublesome. Even the strongest orc soldiers may not be able to fight against demon soldiers in strength, but this comparison has not yet reached the point of one to one hundred !
One demon soldier singled out a hundred human elites, and even used a random rogue fight to overthrow a thousand well-disciplined and experienced human infantry—if the demons were so strong, what would happen if the Burning Legion came? There is no need to do anything, just surrender!
According to historical records, ordinary soldiers of the Burning Legion absolutely do not have this kind of power! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been beaten back to the Twisting Nether during the last invasion. Not to mention, a single soldier could overwhelm a hundred elites, and the combined defense forces of the world would not be enough for ordinary soldiers of the Burning Legion play it!
In addition to the changes in these key historical events, in terms of details, through Jaina's introduction, we have also discovered many places that are different from the "plot". None, and now we'll have to deal with a completely out-of-shape Azeroth.
It's a sad reality, so our only advantage in intelligence is some troubled half-prophet? If that's the case, shouldn't it be better for me to withdraw directly to the earth
Of course, just kidding...
Although we know that we can't use the "plot" we are familiar with to measure the real world, Sandora and I still think that everything is abnormal.
First, are Archimonde and Kil'jaeden fools? The Scourge of the Undead was almost disabled and they sent out a little harassment troops. Could it be that these two masters still practice the spirit of chivalry or RPG, insisting on giving the heroes of the world time to recuperate and give them some mobs to let others Upgrading and brushing up equipment before you are willing to show up? If you don't take advantage of the chaos, hurry up and come here, what's the point of dawdling! Why are you addicted to staying with your wife at home? !
Secondly, demons appear out of thin air. People as knowledgeable as Jaina can't imagine how these demons appear silently all over the world. The strength that is powerful but can be eliminated is shocking, shameless and wretched to the extreme.
Although Jaina couldn't think of how the enemy completed the cross-world teleportation silently, I thought of more than one possibility. Xiling space technology is said to be a super technology second only to the gods' space magic. Jaina's so-called cross-world teleportation In our eyes, it’s just a space jump between planets. Even me, an apostle of Xiling who has become a monk halfway, can think of more than ten ways to smuggle a group of demons under Jaina’s nose in an instant. There is no trace of magical fluctuations left.
If my conjecture is true, it can only be said that we are too unlucky... The worst case scenario is actually true, the apostle of the corrupt Xiling and the army of demons join forces, it is not terrible for scientists to know martial arts, what is terrible is when scientists become masters of martial arts Time for rogues to start studying science too...
There is also a third point, the demons are stronger than the historical records of Azeroth, which makes me very puzzled, because the historical records cannot make such a big mistake, especially in this situation that is related to the life and death of the world, It is even more impossible to write indiscriminately, so I think these demons appearing now should be just special cases, or... experimental products...
I suddenly thought of this possibility, and then broke out in a cold sweat.
