Loa, this is a strange beast spirit.

They are many times more powerful than ordinary beasts, but they do not have the immortality of the demigods of the wilderness, they will also die of old age, but after death, their powerful souls will reside in a special state, they will become "all spirits" in the eyes of the trolls, and with some secret rituals of the trolls, they can achieve communication with Loa.

The soul state of Loa can share his power with his own believers, and over time, the Loa faith has become popular among the troll clans that are still in the savage civilization, and to the present era, the Loa faith of the trolls has entered an era of barbaric growth, according to incomplete statistics, just among the Zandalar trolls, there are more than 10 Loa beliefs, not counting those little Loa factions.

And looking at the entire troll civilization, it is difficult to count the Luoa that has appeared from ancient times to the present, and there are at least about hundreds!

Such a chaotic belief system has led to an era when the troll civilization can rarely be completely unified, and to be honest, if you can't integrate trolls at the level of faith, then at the reality level, the contradictory troll clans can't really be unified.

But that's not what I'm going to talk about today! It's another question.

Loa, the spirits of these beasts, why do they need believers?

This is a very important question, Loa is the spirit of the beast, their power comes from the accumulation of time and the strength of the self, except for the god of death like Bang Sandy, who needs a soul to maintain certain rules, other Loa does not need the soul of the believer, more often, Loa just asks the believer to make sacrifices for them.

In other words, these lazy insects don't want to go out hunting by themselves, so they recruit a group of believers to help them hunt, and they can harvest enough food every day to stay in the spirit world, who would be stupid to hunt?

Of course, this is only one of the most insignificant of the many roles that believers have for Loa, even the spider god Shadra, this gloomy mother spider is known as the "god of spies", and among all Loari, it is the one who likes to weave conspiracy the most, it has a bad nature, and likes to see mortals or other Loa fighting among themselves because of their schemes, in this case, Shadra's followers are the pawns used by Loa the spider to carry out the conspiracy.

In short, the relationship between the trolls and Loa is very complicated, not a pure relationship of exploitation and being used, but more like each taking what they need.

But the spirits of Loa are not perfect, they share their power with their priests, but the power they divide is limited, but the greed for life is unlimited, one day, the sincere priests will thirst for more, and Loa will not be able to take more, the priests will start a secret conspiracy, they will find a way to kill the spirit of Loa, take all the power of Loa themselves, and become the new Loa!

Backstabbing Loa of his own faith, this is almost a "tradition" inherited from the troll belief world!

Therefore, the relationship between Loa and the believers is actually full of darkness.

The Loa don't really like ambitious trolls, but the problem is that in the world of Azeroth, except for the trolls, no one will go crazy to believe in Loa, humans have holy light, elves have moon gods, and even the minotaurs have elemental beliefs, and the faith world of this world has long been carved up, and the Loas are powerless to compete with those forces that point directly to the origin of the stars.

As a result, when Princess Tarangi returned to Zandala with the Dead Sea Fleet, and Bonsandi took advantage of the situation to start a war between Loa, using the power of the Dark Blade to expel the other Loa, those Loas who were driven away had almost nowhere to go...

It's miserable that he doesn't even have the right to beg.

Those powerful Loa, such as the tiger body Jibul, such as the shark god Grohl, they have a wide range of followers, and there is no shortage of places to go after leaving the Zandalar Islands, and the weak Loa can't survive the war of the undead invading Zandalar and the conspiracy of the god of death Bonsandy, and they don't need to think about where to go, and those who can't go up are facing a very bad scene.

They don't want to stay in the war-torn Zandalara, but they have nowhere else to go, when a strange organization calling itself "The Big Plan" invites the down-and-out Loa's...

Velociraptor - the god of hunting Gunk, pterosaur - the god of the wind Paku, triceratops - the god of the horned dragon Tokari, the thunder lizard - the god of thunder Akunda, and the frog god Kagwa who was driven out of the frog by the undead, and some unnamed little Loa After thinking about it repeatedly, they were forced to accept the invitation of this strange organization due to the helpless reality, and then they crossed the sea, crossed the dark gate, and came to a new world where no Loa had ever been.

This is the story between the Big Plan and the Loamen...

It's not complicated at all, it's even full of fun, but anyway, the Loas are doing well in the new world, and as Kagwa said, these hard-brained lizardmen are easy to fool, especially since the Great Lich has concocted a glorious legacy for the "big plan", which is enough to make the Warhammer lizardmen who are just starting to breed worship it.

Although the daily tribute is to be shared by everyone, due to the amazing combat power of the lizardmen and the rapid reproduction, these believers do not have the ambitious and dangerous ideas of the trolls, so after a few months, the Luoa people have become "happy here, not thinking about it".

"Cleaning Draenor, naturally, is not to kill the creatures of this world cleanly, it's not like this."

The Grand Lich left Kagwa's "Temple" with the High Lord, and he introduced the High Lord to the contents of the Grand Plan:

"You and Veren have made an agreement to create an accident to send the Draenei and Shattrath exiles to Azeroth, then the Lizardmen's revolt is very much in line with the nature of the "accident", and after sending the Delaneei and the exiles away, the Lizardmen's offensive will stop, after all, the transformation of the Lizardmen is not yet fully mature, and we need some time to continue to adjust the creature template. ”

"In other words, it's just a rehearsal!"

"Well, that's good."

The Great Lord bowed slightly, he agreed with the Great Lich's idea, and he didn't need the Great Lich to explain to him in detail who this Warhammer Lizardman would fight with in the future, it would hardly need to be explained.

I wonder what the demons of the Burning Legion will look at when they see a rampaging army of lizardmen shouting "big plan" and attacking them.

"So what you call the "Ancient Saint" is actually the Titan? ”

Tyrion said to the Great Lich:

"I've just finished reading the story you wrote for Kagwa, it's really very similar to the real history, but you ignored a problem, the lizardmen are not biological weapons without their own minds, with the real opening of their civilization, with the inheritance of generations of lizardmen, their wisdom will awaken one day, and at that time, some of them will begin to question the authenticity of the grand plan..."

"The history of the Mantis Demon, you should be familiar with it... Even in the case of the extreme realism of Asha, there have been too many rebellions in more than 10,000 years of reproduction, and this is not the future we want to see, never underestimate the free will of living beings. ”

The Great Lich's brow furrowed as the High Lord's question, and he had thought about it too, but the question seemed unsolvable.

"The Titans have left Azeroth, they are dead, and according to the setting, the Toad, aka Kagva, is the only spokesperson who has ever seen the Titans, indeed... If there is a problem with Kagwa's description in this regard, or if he uses the wrong word, it will indeed cause some confusion, but... Where do we go to find a Titan to instill in Kagwa the idea of a big plan? ”

"There's one!"

The Great Lord's eyes narrowed, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth:

"There is also a Titan in Azeroth, the last Titan other than Sargeras, and the foundation of a civilization's existence cannot be built on a lie, so we have to make it "real"! ”

"Find a time, let Kagwa, no, let the toad come with me on a trip back to Azeroth, and I'll take it to meet the true "Old Saints", preferably a few more leaders of the lizardmen, this is a glorious sacrifice and pilgrimage, and from then on, the lizardmen will no longer doubt the authenticity of the grand plan, they will become the most loyal and ruthless vanguard of the grand plan! Be the warrior we need! ”

The archlich Anastarian nodded, he knew some connections between Tyrion and Elune, the spirit of the planet, this was indeed the best way to solve the hidden danger, but there was another problem, Anastarian lowered his voice:

"But the Great Lord, Elune's character... I've heard that, do you think she'll agree to perform with us? The "grand plan" may sound glorious, but its real execution will inevitably be accompanied by brutal genocide and world cleansing, an atrocity that those pedantics cannot agree with... And associating the Big Plan with Elune is a recognition of her majesty, and if she gives the order, the fanatical lizardmen will be the first to turn their weapons on us... It's risky! And Elune, she's still very immature, she can't necessarily do this kind of thing. ”

Tyrion closed his eyes in the face of the Great Lich's concerns, and he stood on the platform on the top floor of the Hellfire Fortress, looking at the dark portal in the distance, and after a moment, he whispered:

"You're right, that world, all worlds are in danger, and the only existence that can save them is still so immature, ah, it's really worrying."

"But it's okay, just do it, I'm sure that even the most rebellious girl will grow up quickly after seeing the cruel and ruthless war of the realms... But, perhaps, it's time to put some pressure on her. ”

The Great Lich's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a low voice:

"What are you going to do?"

"How did I unite the rotten humanity of the Empire? How did I get the closed Night Elves to mature? How did I make the ignorant centaur wise? ”

Tyrion flicked his fingers, and he said calmly:

"To show the bloody scene in front of the eyes of the ignorant, to let them see the truth and cruelty of the world, with war, or with massacre, nothing more than to do it again, that's all."

"And what about the goal?"

The Great Lich asked again, this time, the High Lord did not answer immediately, he seemed to think for a moment, then moved his shoulders, and as a cold wind blew through the dry and cracked earth of the Hellfire Peninsula, he said:

"It has to be an existence that has a special meaning for Elune, it has to be an existence that can make her see the so-called "fate" clearly, it has to be an existence that will affect our "big plan"... A small action continues, but I firmly believe in the existence of fate! A presence that will leave a legacy after its death that will effectively strengthen the power of Azeroth as a whole..."

"You see, it's hard to find such a target, but luckily we already have one."

"Legion of Light, Mother of Light... Zela! ”

The High Lord patted the railing in satisfaction, and he turned back to the Great Lich and whispered:

"Well, I suddenly feel that the code name "Prophet's Fall" doesn't sound good, so let's change it. ”

It was changed to "The Holy Light will be extinguished"! ”

"Marlad."

On the gem ship returning from Ulduar to the tundra of the north wind, the prophet Viren, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a chill for no reason, which made him unable to meditate any longer, he opened his eyes and called out to the great garrison officer he trusted the most, and a moment later, the tall garrison Marrad, wearing fuchsia jewel armor, appeared beside the prophet with his Naru gem hammer in his hand.

"Is the positioning of the space landmark complete?"

The Prophet whispered:

"And how is the repair of Storm Fortress's Jump Engine going?"

"Grand Technician Romell and our best lapidary are over there, and according to them, the progress is very gratifying, and now all it takes is some high-energy filler to get that engine back up."

The Grand Garrison also lowered his voice and said to the Prophet:

"The positioning of the space landmark has been carried out to the last moment, but it must be adjusted repeatedly, after all, it is to open up the space wall of the two worlds in the stars, and any mistake will lead to consequences that we cannot bear... I know you're concerned about this, but you have to be patient, we've enlisted Lord Mimiron, the Guardian of the Machines, to help us, and this time it will be a success. ”

"I know, Marrad, I know, I have to be patient."

The Prophet flicked the crystal rosary in his hand, and in his mind a strange urgency was enveloping his spirit, and he forced himself to calm down, saying:

"But some things... I can feel that something bad, something I can't predict, maybe it's coming soon. ”

Viren raised his head and looked at Malad in front of him, he was silent for a moment, and said:

"If something happens to me, if things get to the worst, then Marrad, I hope you will raise the banner and carry our people forward... The dawn is ahead, and I can feel that as long as we pass through this darkness, we can see the light of hope..."

"Hopefully, I'll make it to that moment..."
