9. Miserable. Dream Wars
"Whoa"
A loud dragon roar resounded across the battlefield of the Emerald Dream Realm, and this once-peaceful world like a perfect paradise had been transformed into the most terrifying slaughterhouse.
The creatures that lived in the dream realm, including the druids who could still fight throughout the Cenarion Council, had already entered the place, as well as the natural allies of the druids, the tall war trees, the magic-wielding wisdom trees, the mighty, rock-bodied mountain giants, the swift knights of the jungle guardians, and the petite dryads.
The wood-throated bears who had just repaired their relationship with the Night Elves also appeared here, these bears are also considered to be the composition of natural beings, after hearing that the Emerald Dream was threatened, the bears did not hesitate for long, and joined this terrible war, and the bears stood with the wild boar people, but compared to the down-and-out bears, the boar warriors who welcomed back their gods were full of energy.
Moreover, the Razor Heights boars, who have maintained a good relationship with the Human Empire and the Orcs, are also equipped more generously than their bear-man brothers.
Every Boar Man warrior who comes to the Emerald Dream Realm to participate in the battle has a set of armor that is not good, but can protect the body, a wide decapitation knife cast by the Human Empire, this thing is the latest assembly line production product of the Stormgard Kingdom, the quality is passable, and the most important thing is that it is cheap enough, and the higher status of the Boar Officers can also be equipped with a powerful black iron horned helmet, as well as a large shield for self-defense.
The boar people inherited their distant relatives, the boars' strong fecundity, and in the two years since Agamagan returned to the Razor Heights, the number of the boar people has increased by an insane five-fold... The High Priestess of the Boar People had to drive a third of the Boar People out of Razor Heights and leave them to fend for themselves.
If you don't do this, these exponentially breeding boar people will soon eat up the resources of the entire barren land, so in recent years, the number of wild boar people warbands in the mercenary market of Garkison has been rising, and Razor Heights is using this method to curb the number of its own people, and these mercenary groups are also constantly exchanging more resources and food for the people, so there are more and more numbers, that is, cheap and easy to use boar people mercenaries have really made a name for themselves in recent years.
In this war of the Emerald Dream Realm, even the Night Elves, who have always disliked the mercenary trade, had to hire several boar warbands to help them resist the invasion of nightmares.
"Roar!"
A low roar lifted the spirits of the boar-man and bear-men in a hurry, signaling that they were about to begin, and behind them, the exhausted Kadoredruids were summoning more treants to join the battle, and above the ground front, the green dragons who were the first to strike flapped their wings and formed a loose formation to leap over their own legions.
In front of these huge dream dragons, the land that has been polluted by nightmares presents a completely different scene from the normal jade dream, the green grass and green earth have been transformed into a dark red, even in the extremely active jade dream world, no creature can survive on such a polluted land.
Dark red mist-like energy continued to rise from the grass, forming a dark red light curtain similar to the fog of war in the air, and in the black, as if it had been charred ashes, the flesh vines covered with dark red limbs were constantly swaying, like ugly abscesses growing from the earth, and every time the nightmare occupied a piece of land, these overgrown disgusting flesh limbs and vines exuding a depraved aura would directly cover that piece of land.
Even if the druids and the green dragon recapture their position, they will not be able to clear the nightmare corrosion that has infiltrated the plane in a short period of time, in this case, the nightmare that occupies the attack position is simply superior, not to mention, even the most determined guardian dragon, once they stay in the nightmare zone for too long, they will be polluted by the power of the ancient gods to invade the emerald dream.
The more important reason is that this nightmare outbreak is too weird, so menacing that no one notices it at all, the Jade Dream is dizzy and dizzy by a random punch, and by the time the green dragons finally pull up an army, the entire Jade Dream has been full of war.
It's not the worst of it...
The worst thing is that even the demigods, who have always supported the Green Dragon, behaved a little weirdly this time, not to mention Ursock, who is still recuperating, and Usor, who has been missing for a long time, Avina and Ashaman simply cut off contact with the Green Dragon Legion, and Ansu has been absent for a week after a big quarrel with the Cenarion Council over the issue of Rukma.
Only Godlin and Eisena are still helping the Green Dragon Legion, but the power of the two demigods is not enough to fight the flames of war that envelops the entire Emerald Dream Realm, and the death of Cenarius, who can exert his greatest combat power in the Emerald Dream Realm, is even worse.
In short, the current situation in this dream mecca is terrible...
"Destroy the remaining Nightmare Monsters on the ground!"
Ysera's most powerful consort, the Dream King Illanicus's huge figure is like a hill suspended in the sky, this rather ancient green dragon is amazingly powerful, and its wings and claws have appeared in the form of natural magic patterns and life crystals transformed by the power of nature, which proves that Illanicus has reached an extremely high level of manipulation of the power of dreams.
It's pretty much the most powerful green dragon in the Green Dragon Legion, with the exception of Isera, the Queen of Dreams.
Moreover, Illanicus's tough style and leading temperament make it very suitable for commanding the dream dragons on the battlefield, and it is precisely because of Illanicus's help that Ysera can barely continue to support it.
"Roar!"
At the command of the mighty Illanicus, the dream dragons that followed behind it immediately dispersed, and these dragons opened their dragon kisses, and the deadly corrosive venom and breath rich in powerful toxins of the green dragons fell from the sky, these breaths belonging to the green dragons were not as terrible as the breaths of the red and black dragons, but they rained down on the nightmare land, but they could clear the vast expanse of polluted land like melting steel.
Although these venoms will corrode along with the life of the entire land, and the residue of these venoms is equally deadly to their own soldiers, as the most powerful means of curbing the expansion of nightmares at present, Illanicus, who has experienced several major wars, still coldly ordered the green dragons to spread these green dragon toxins throughout the battlefield as quickly as possible.
"Disgusting taste! Disgusting scum! ”
Illanicus flapped its wings, it flicked its huge and hideous head, its dark green, devastating toxin-rich breath like a green storm, sweeping away all the dark red corrosion where it flew, the dragon looked back at the battlefield behind it, and under the pressure of the dream dragon's toxins, the twisted monsters hidden in the nightmare realm had to break out of the protection and start fighting the coalition forces on Ysera's side.
But, that's a good thing...
Compared to the invisible spiritual corrosion, these physical monsters catalyzed by nightmares are actually not as terrifying as imagined, as long as they avoid being contaminated by the power of nightmares in the self-explosion of their death, these twisted monsters are basically not too threatening in the face of the battle front.
After all, the Void Power of Nightmares has inherited the qualities of the Void, and it has never been good at head-on combat... Fighting head-on has never been the style of the void, corrosion and assimilation, this is the essence of the void.
"Where the hell did all this damn thing come from?"
Illanicus commanded the Green Dragons to drive out the hidden Nightmare Monsters while keeping an eye on the changes in the land, a question that the mighty Dream King had been thinking about since the beginning of this incomprehensible war.
Illanicus was very suspicious that there must be some external factor in the sudden outbreak of the nightmare, perhaps, the real bane was not in the Emerald Dream, but now that the Green Dragon Legion was trapped in the Emerald Dream, the high intensity of the war made everyone have no time to care about the reasons behind the war, although the Green Dragon Queen had entrusted the Grand Druids of the Cenarion Council to find the root of the problem, but it was not something that could be found in a moment.
In other words, they must continue to persist until they can find the "external source" that caused all this.
Suddenly, a flash of red caught the attention of Illanicus on the ground in the distance, and it was clearly a big explosion of nightmare power somewhere, and it looked like a battle! And that place is the depths of the Nightmare Front... It should be a place completely occupied by nightmares, how can there be rebels?
"Solaine, Tyral, come with me!"
Illanicus' roar echoed through the dark red sky, and a few seconds later, two other battle-hardened Green Dragon Lords followed behind the mighty Illanicus and flew as fast as they could.
"We can only stay here for a few minutes, watch out for the search!"
Through the fog composed of the heavy nightmare power, the Dream King soon flew to the rear of this battlefield, its yellow snake pupils searched the ground at a very fast speed, looking for the source of the flash, with the dynamic vision of the dragon, at a glance at a glance in the sky at a height of thousands of meters, and at the moment of flying over the Nightmare Land, Illanicus suddenly saw a humanoid creature staggering forward on the ground.
He seemed tired, as if he was badly wounded, and in the dark red nightmare of the earth, the man seemed to be running away from something.
"It's Malfurion!"
The dream dragon Tyral, who was following Illanicuus, roared, flipping his body and was about to rush down, but was stopped in the sky by Illanicus, who sensed that something was wrong, but at this moment, Malfurion on the ground raised his head, and in those eyes, Illanicus clearly saw a touch of despair.
That despair is...
Don't come!
Come on!
It's a trap!
"Buzz"
The darker and deeper nightmare mist around him was blown away by the sudden wind at this moment, and between the mist, a slender figure walked out slowly, and the elven Savis kicked Malfurion on the ground, he raised his head and looked at the three-headed dragon roaring down in the sky, and a touch of pride and cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"It's such a good bait... Caught three deep-sea trolls~ Ah, look at who this is, Lord Illanicus, who slaughtered a demon army 10,000 years ago, the king of dreams, should I kneel down and beg for mercy? ”
Savis stooped down and took Malfurion in his hand like a psychopath, and he didn't look at the three-headed dragon in the sky, turning and disappearing into the nightmare mist behind him.
"You know what? Proud dragons... I don't need to defeat you at all. ”
"Look directly at the worst nightmare in your heart, and when you are defeated, you will be Enzoth's... Nightmare Dragons, your dark forces will drag the world into nightmares, and when that time... Oh, poor rebels, what are you fighting for? ”
"The moment we enter this dream... We've already... It's a win! ”
"Let's go!"
Illanicus was not in the mood to listen to Savis's crazy words at all, and the moment Savis appeared, the dragon commander who was old in battle tried to turn around and break through, but the dark red nightmare fog that spread around him had expanded several times in just a dozen seconds, and Illanicus could feel that in this dark red mist, there was an indescribable thing hidden.
Maybe it was just a ray of consciousness that came to him, but that fleeting sense of crisis reminded Illanicus of the scene a few years ago, when he faced the heyday of the blood god Haka in the spirit world... No, compared to the monster in front of him, Haka isn't even a bald chicken...
The dark red mist slowly closed as if it had received some kind of command, and at the moment when Illanicus was completely overwhelmed by the mist, the dream lord sent a final message to his beloved wife.
"There are things in the Jade Dream Realm that we can't deal with, don't attack rashly, go to the Dragon Sleep Temple for help!"
"And, my Ysera, this time it may be really... Farewell..."
