Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Black, Denathrius the Great, and Warden Zhovar have formed an unholy alliance a long time ago, but the three guys are definitely the classic reappearance of the term "different bedfellows" in the wizarding world.

Although the three guys seem to be executing the same plan, the three of them have three completely different purposes.

When seeing victory close at hand, the traditional internal fighting projects naturally began to unfold in full swing. First, Emperor Denathius hired Black to get rid of Zoval without any sense of martial ethics, and the warden was also involved in the murder of five Eternal Marks. After gathering together, they tore off the pretense of "keeping aloof from the world" and planned to block Blake in the abyss.

He is confident.

The entire Maw Abyss is controlled by Him.

The power He can use in this land that devours hope and spreads despair is unlimited. As long as Blake comes back here, he won't want to go anywhere.

As Emperor Denathrius once thought, after seeing with his own eyes how Black disrupted three kingdoms in a short period of time, he also single-handedly planned the invasion of Maldraxxus into the Ascension Fortress and killed the eldest daughter Ge After Listia, Zoval also realized the thorny side of Black.

Now that the path to the Holy Land of the First Born has become clear, this restless factor from the material world must be temporarily eliminated.

He may still cooperate with Black in the future, but at least when it comes to matters related to Zarezantis, Zoval does not intend to let Black get involved.

The power left by the Firstborns there was too dangerous, and the cost of allowing a Void Evil God to get its hands on it was extremely terrible. Therefore, even if the entire force of the Maw was mobilized, Black Shaw and the plundering fleet he organized must be left behind. it's here.

The warden thought so and planned to do so.

But unfortunately, He still failed to take into account other unexpected situations when formulating his plan, such as.

"Click"

A crisp sound sounded the moment the pirate's finger touched the ancient Stone of the First Born.

The stone tablet was shattered by the flow of blue anima, and then reorganized in a strange way. Under the gazes of countless Abyssworn and pirates with different postures, four ancient stone swords were rotated and inserted into the foundation covered with stone debris. Standing there, a dazzling door burst open under Zoval's wide-eyed gaze.

Blake's constant infusion of mind made the door bigger and bigger, and finally, in a few seconds, a cracked passage was formed that could accommodate the free entry and exit of the large plundering fleet.

"The so-called desperate place in the Shadow Kingdom, I can come when I want, and leave when I want!"

In the silence, Blake pushed up his captain's hat and raised his middle finger to the phantom of Zoval that appeared in the sky.

With a wave of his hand, he guided the Nagfar to rush into the gate of the country flowing in front amidst the carnival of the pirates. The fleet at the rear followed closely in the surge of water spurred by the Tide Stone. It drove out of the Maw at an astonishing speed and fell into the realm near the eternal city of Oribos.

As for Zoval.

The warden, who had always been so at ease in any situation, made everyone stupid.

Of course he knew about the existence of that stone tablet.

Every soul in the entire Maw knows that there are relics left by the Firstborn on the cliff of Weeping Sorrow, but from the birth of the Maw to the present, that thing has never been activated.

Even the Eternals thought it was just some kind of souvenir left by the Firstborn.

There are many more stone tablets like this in the Maw, as well as in Kehia, Oribos, etc.!

Oribos has it too!

Zoval immediately came back to his senses. He watched the pirates from the material world roaring and driving the ship into the blue door. He realized that Black was not demonstrating just now.

He was really going to Oribos to open the way to the Holy Land of the First Born.

That bastard!

When he thinks that the power left behind by the Firstborn may be controlled by Black, the Warden can no longer sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. In his plan for the future, it is very important to grasp the original power of control of Zaresantis. link.

Can't wait any longer.

"Enter that door!"

On the high platform of the Sanctuary, the warden, who was still dressed in his prison style, narrowed his small eyes and said coldly to the generals beside him:

"Black Shaw and his pirates are going to plunder the Eternal City. The chaos they caused is just for our use. We use my army to release the scorched beasts and soul-eating golems to rush into Oribos and lead to the Holy Land. The road of death will be opened today, and the era of death will come today.”

"Master, if we all go there, there will be no one to control the army you left on this land."

A tall Deepsworn commander whispered to Zoval:

"Those rebels have been running rampant in your land recently. They are supported by Black Shaw's command, and I have enough reasons to think that the dangerous evil god may take advantage of your obsession with the Holy Land.

Once we leave here, a shameful rebellion may arise in your realm, and if Torghast's tower, which houses the anima, is attacked, it will undoubtedly interfere with your great plans. "

"Well, that's true."

Zoval acknowledged his subordinate's concerns as he received his weapon from a Deepsworn Lich, a strange hammer forged into the Tormented Skull.

He looked at the country in front of him where he had lived for countless epochs, and whispered:

“Even if one masters the power of the Firstborn, it would still require a huge amount of energy to reshape reality.

Those animas are prepared for this. From the first day when Torghast Tower of Sinful Souls stood in the Maw, from the time when the first imprisoned soul was squeezed out of anima, this land has shouldered the burden of embarked on a heavy mission.

But don’t worry, my loyal Soul Breaker Dormazan, I also have my own ‘friends’. "

"You mean, Emperor Denathrius?"

Commander Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then a cold voice sounded from under the ferocious shadow steel helmet:

"No, Master, the Emperor is not trustworthy. Even us servants know that his ambition is to rule all the worlds, including the Kingdom of Shadows, and he is wholeheartedly pursuing the empire of death in his imagination.

Once He takes over your army, He will immediately begin an invasion of the physical world that is completely different from your plans. "

"Let Him be."

Zoval waved his hand indifferently, and under the control of his will, countless black chains emerged from the various passages of the Sanctuary to form a "bridge" across the sky and the earth, allowing the Abyssworn who were ready to step on it. He quickly rushed towards the Firstborn teleportation stone opened by Blake.

The warden himself set foot on this passage.

He held up his unique and ferocious, powerful and dark weapon and said to his subordinates:

"As an arbiter, I have judged countless souls from different worlds. Through their eyes, I can see that under the endless stars, the war between freedom and dominance has been played out again and again for countless epochs.

But it's all in vain.

It's not that mortals aren't smart enough or hardworking enough or determined enough. They themselves are also victims. Any idea of ​​a creature that feels like it has free will is just based on the lies of the First Creation.

Their perfect plan for all things was horribly flawed.

The idea of ​​giving the power of choice to those beings who cannot even control their own existence and expecting them to evolve themselves to the extreme is nonsense in itself.

I have witnessed the ambitions of countless rulers and the collapse of countless empires. Denathrius is just another monarch who wants to establish rule, and his ambition itself can be used by me.

Let Him conquer.

The war he started will provide more anima for the great thing, until all reality is completely reshaped by me, and when that day comes, all strife and destruction will be eliminated, and true order will come.

A fragmented universe cannot withstand the coming disaster."

Behind Zoval, his generals bowed down to pay tribute to their master. This may be the last time they see the warden.

They were not conquered or infected by Zovar's great ideals. They were just born in the Maw and had to obey the master of this land. These Abyssworn ones actually had no choice.

The moment Zoval reached the teleportation stone left by the Firstborn, he looked up at the sky, and through the mental connection of the Eternals of War Calamity, he said to Emperor Denathrius in Revendreth:

"My ancient brother, the time has come when the passage to Zaresantis will be opened, and I will step into it to fulfill the destiny I have been seeking and waiting for.

I have left my legions in the Maw, and it is up to you to control them.

When the passage to the Holy Land of the First Born is opened, the curtain of life and death will also be controllable by you, and your era of conquest is about to begin. I wish you good luck. "

"Ah, what good news. I have been waiting for countless epochs, but I believe all this waiting is worth it."

A response came immediately from Emperor Denathrius.

Even though He was trying his best to suppress it, the joy from the bottom of his heart could still be read from the Great Emperor's voice.

The King of Sins also hypocritically reminded:

"I have observed the chaos in the eternal city of Oribos. My brother Zoval, the ambitious alien evil god Black Shaw is attacking the city of the God-servers. He definitely wants to enter Zaresanti before you. To find the secrets left by the Firstborn, you must speed up.

If you meet him at the Creator's shrine, show no mercy. You must also be careful with his rhetoric. Lies are Blake's sharpest and most deadly weapon. "

Faced with this "reminder," Zoval didn't even bother to respond.

He was completely sure that there must be some kind of secret agreement between Emperor Denathius and Black Shaw. Just as he did not want the Emperor and Black to interfere with his great cause, neither did the Emperor who only wanted to conquer all the worlds. Would like a damn idealist to interfere with His reign.

For Denathrius, the best outcome is for Zoval and Black to disappear into Zaresantis together and die as far away as possible.

This is how villains work together.

While watching out for enemies, you should also be more careful about backstabbing from those around you at any time.

Zoval looked at the gate of the realm that was constantly rotating under the support of his heart. He could even see the chaotic scene of the eternal city of Oribos from the reflection of the energy fluctuations of the gate in front of him.

The pirate warships from Azeroth were sailing around that ancient and majestic city. Their ships were gliding over the realm as if they were sailing on the waves of the endless sea. Those pirates from all races and kingdoms The scum are roaring like crazy and firing every cannonball into the sacred city.

Fires, explosions, swung weapons, flying blood, and brutal looting.

The city of the Godservers has fallen into unprecedented chaos, and this city that has appeared in the era of the Firstborn no longer has any dignity at all, and it looks like it has already faded away in Zoval's memory. of the Genesis Era.

The warden shook his head and strode into the gate of the realm in front of him. Behind him, the most elite Abyssworn Legion assembled escorted a blue cosmic spirit closely behind him.

Almost at the same time, in the grand hall of Nasriya Fort.

Emperor Denathrius, who was dressed in military uniform, with the help of two Venthyr nobles, put on a new commander's cloak to show his majesty.

Outside this hall, the teleportation mirror leading to the Maw is in full operation. The Stone Legion and Venthyr warriors loyal to the Emperor are entering the control sanctuary of the Maw through the mirror and taking over the rule of the warden. core.

The Emperor will also go there and command the Warden to prepare the Yuansworn Legion for countless epochs. The Eternal One's face is filled with a smile that makes his wish come true, but he does not leave immediately.

He is waiting for his "companion."

A few minutes later, Maiev Shadowsong, who was wearing a blood-colored palace dress, was "invited" to the palace by the emperor's guards. She looked at Emperor Denathrius sitting on the throne with her usual indifference. The emperor also looked at her with a smile on his face.

"I hope you are ready for your journey, my dear successor, my dear 'daughter'."

Denathius said to Maiev condescendingly:

"As you can see, I will start the era of death conquest today, and a glorious era of rule will be opened by my own hands. It is the magnificent moment that I have been looking forward to when I was expelled from Zaresantis. I am eager to I need a distinguished person to share this joy with me.

We're going to the Maw, Maiev.

I have prepared for you a very comfortable palace in the Tower of Torghast, with a wonderful view, and you can watch from your own balcony the splendor of my armies as they sweep across the material stars.

And on the day your husband returns to me victorious, or you unfortunately become a widow, I will release you and formally invite you to join my empire as ruler. "

This bastard.

He no longer even pretended to be malicious.

Maiev looked at Him, looking at this smug Eternal One, like looking at a monkey immersed in her own dream. She did not choose to struggle or resist, but just tolerated those around her in the past, but today she faced Amid the sarcastic laughter of the Venthyr nobles, they asked calmly:

"Are you so sure that you can control everyone?"

"I have never thought about it this way, Maiev, I respect every life in front of me."

The Emperor waved his hand hypocritically, and he held the pearl hilt of Lemonia, the soul blade suspended next to him, as if he was holding his own scepter of sin.

He stood up and said to Maiev:

"I have full respect for your husband's dark wisdom. He is a free man and a dangerous person who can never be controlled. But unfortunately, even the Void Evil God has his own weaknesses.

As long as you are in my hands, he is available to me.

love

Ah, love that makes people cry is such a beautiful sin. "

"Click"

Heavy shackles were placed on Maiev's wrists, and the Sinful Princess was taken away from the hall by the guards amid the increasingly crazier laughter of the bloody courtiers.

The moment she was sent out of Nathria Castle and taken to the Maw, and when she was about to step into the Blood Mirror, Maiev looked back at the abrupt mountain next to Nathria Castle.

That mountain of sin monuments belonging to Blake.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After so many bloody examples, there are still people who dare to claim so confidently that they have completely controlled Black Shaw.

Well, it seems that the obsession with power is indeed harmful to health.
