In the ancient period of Azeroth, when the spark of civilization was not born, this world was ruled by the primordial elements of all things, and the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth bred on this land, bringing about changes in the world environment, and this change in the environment gave birth to the most primitive creatures, which is the evolution of the normal world.

But for Azeroth, the mood was slightly different.

This planet is pregnant with star spirits, and it is one of the worlds that the Titans of the Pantheon pay attention to, in order to make the star souls conceived inside develop normally and healthily, the Titans have transformed the environment of the world in their own way, making the ancient Azeroth the cradle of life, however, just after the Titans temporarily left this world, the Void Lords also discovered the great potential Azeroth Star Spirits, these strange beings living in the world on the back of all things, they decided to corrupt this planet.

They sowed the seeds of the Void on the planet, and after those seeds landed in the world, they evolved into the Elder Gods, the craziest and most powerful minions of the Void Lords.

The Elder Gods and the Elementals of Azeroth fought a great battle, eventually subjugating the Elemental Lords and making them their "companions", a strange contract that is still in effect today, of course, after the Titan's Guardians returned to this world and sealed the Elder Gods, the Elemental Lords have been given limited freedom, but the Lower Elementals are unable to resist the effects of this ancient contract.

Not counting that civilization, a large part of the lives of those who are willing to become cultists are "power" that cannot be brought about by efforts to pursue the right path, and the development of cults often uses this "blessing of power" as a gimmick to attract these lives with unfirm will and three views.

In the Twilight Hammer cult, believers can get "blessings" from the bishop as long as they show their "sincerity" to the ancient gods, and the average believer gets a limited power to manipulate the elements, which is different from the shamans' calls to the elements, its essence is forced enslavement, so the elements controlled by ordinary cultists are not too strong.

But with the help of the elements, cultists can live a very "nourishing" life in a harsh environment that ordinary people cannot live in.

The Great Desert of Silitus, a barren land located in the southern frontier of Kalimdor, was destroyed by magic after the explosion of the Well of Eternity 10,000 years ago, and all vegetation was razed and replaced by an extremely harsh ecological environment, and only the most terrifying and resilient creatures could survive in this desert that spread for thousands of kilometers.

And according to the famous explorer of Azeroth, Brian. Copperbeard's description, an unprepared adult strayed into the Great Desert of Silitus, in that extremely hot and water-scarce environment, under the prying eyes of dangerous sandworms and strange swarms under those deserts, he could only hold out for less than a day at most, and even a well-prepared army, after entering the desert, if he did not get the help of a guide, at most, he would be wiped out here.

This is not where life should be.

But it is precisely because no one will pay attention to this place that Twilight's hammer has made this desert its real base camp, compared to the tens of thousands of people in the Brute Hammer Heights, and between the rolling yellow sands of the entire Silisus, what is hidden is the establishment of the cultists... City.

It's unimaginable, right?

In this kind of place where even the Night Elf druids struggled to live, the cultists of Twilight's Hammer, with the "power" bestowed by their evil masters, had founded three "cities" under the dry foothills, beside the springs of the yellow sand, and in the ruins of the ancient city near the deepest part of the Great Desert.

All of this is established in the middle of the Great Desert of Silitus, under the noses of the druids and night elf warriors of the Cenarion Fortress, which has existed for a thousand years.

Thus, for several years, both sides maintained an eerie "peace".

"What's that?"

Benedictas's voice rang in Gugar's head, and the ogre, who had just revived his second head, turned his head to see some of the Twilight warriors patrolling around the dune camp on grotesque bugs, dressed in desert nomads' robes and covering their skin tightly to prevent sunburn, with rudimentary but fierce weapons in their hands and a fierce look in their eyes.

The cultist community is not a "warm family", especially in the Silissus Desert, which is a paradise of Darwinism, and for these cultists, the most dangerous thing is never the beast hidden under the dunes, but the dagger from behind, from the darkness.

The bugs that are used as "mounts" are strange beings that cannot be seen anywhere else in Azeroth, the bugs are very much like ants that have been magnified more than ten times, but only four sharp spike claw blades, covered with cuticle carapaces of various colors, and under the mantis-like head are sharp mouthparts and palatal bones, and under the carapace, some wings as thin as cicadas occasionally appear.

This look, it's a ferocious predator... And they, naturally, aroused the curiosity of the Twilight Prophet who came to Silitus for the first time, and the former Archbishop of Stormwind City keenly sensed a dangerous aura from these bugs.

"Ah, that's the Qila worker, the lowest insect in the empire of the Qila people. (Very poor in combat, but good at carrying weights, good for use as a mount.) ）”

The robed ogre sorted out his clothes as he explained to the other soul in his mind:

"Twilight's Hammer's activities in this desert are inseparable from the help of these bugs, our companions, our scouts, our transports, our reinforcements, our drowning warriors... (Don't worry, Brother Benedictas, I know you have a lot of questions, but soon, you'll see the answers to everything.) ）”

The ogre wizard's two heads were talking at the same time, and the return of this "accent" pattern made Gugar very satisfied, he stretched out his hands, stuffed them into the mouths of the two heads, and then let out two strange whistles.

The next moment, the sand dunes in front of Gugal's tall body began to surge wildly, and between the flying gravel, a massive, flat body like a scorpion, wide as a boat, with 10 twisted sharp limbs all over the sides, and behind the thick tail, it was a strange tail with barbs on both sides, this thing could hardly be called a "creature", but it was very agile and shook the sand beyond the bright scales on its body, and then quickly crawled in front of the ogre wizard.

This strange thing is like a mixture of a poisonous scorpion, a spider and a poisonous snake, in the soul of Gugal, Benedictas stares at the powerful beast in front of him, he can feel that this thing in front of him is much more powerful and advanced than the bugs that the cultists ride, it has a will of its own... This thing thinks!

"Yo, Kulinax, old friend. (Looks like you're full today, so maybe I can ride you with confidence, right?) ）”

Gugar greeted this strange bug with a strange buzzing sound, and those vicious eyes looked up and down at Gugal, a look that could make any normal person have nightmares!

However, a few minutes later, the ogre's huge body still sat behind the strange bug, and in the rapid movement of its 10 legs, the scenery on both sides of the desert quickly receded, this speed... It's almost the speed of sound.

"Cullinax is General Rajax's favorite and one of his most powerful warriors. (It can devour a young dragon alive, don't underestimate it, don't provoke it, its worm people have a lot of ways to deal with spirits, Benedictas, especially where we're going...) Those worm slayers, they can easily spot you. ）”

In his soul, Gugar said to Benedictas:

"We're going to meet our master... One. (It was a thousand years ago that the Worm people were driven to easily defeat the Night Elves' Thousand-Eyed Demon, the Ancient God of Cthun.) ）”

"It is the most active... It's about to get out of trouble, and the Wormmen are its new believers. (But it's also the stupidest, the most arrogant, bent on replacing Asa as the strongest, but the quest for power makes it flawed.) ）”

The Twilight Prophet's spirit was silent, and after a moment, he asked:

"Just tell me, why are we here?"

"The demon needs a face so that it can give the "warriors" a clear purpose. (You and my master will need time, but the Darkblade's gaze is already locked on them, and they need a... A substitute for the dead to attract attention. ）”

Seeing the black, huge, and time-heavy ancient city walls in the yellow sand in front of him gradually become clear, the ogre wizard let out a hazy laugh in his soul.

"We must carefully "consecrate" the war to the great Cthun, whose dark power will upend the order of this continent. (We will hide in the chaos and buy time for our masters...) But we won't rest in this war that we are bound to lose, at least not me. ）”

"I knew it."

Benedictas's voice was filled with mockery:

"You brought me here to make me a proton? ”

"What's the solution? My friend... We must earn Cthun's trust. (The twilight hour is bound to come, but it's definitely not through Cthun to show its greatness, and you desperately need a moving body, and if you want to be rewarded, you have to give first, I don't need to teach you this, right?) ）”

Gugar said meaningfully:

"Don't be afraid of sacrifice, Benedictas. (In your master's boundless nightmare, you have been blessed with eternal life.) ）”

"Wow"

The limbs of the huge insect suddenly stopped and fluttered at this moment, and the surrounding gravel swept up like a storm, and in the midst of the howling of the wind and sun, the ogre jumped to the side of the sand dune, and he looked at the tall and silent city wall in front of him, engraved with the mark of the insect man, and the extremely oppressive city wall, he straightened his robe, and said softly:

"Here we are. (Get ready, friend.) ）”

———————————————

Twilight's Hammer is a cult through and through, but it is not a monotheistic religion, and in fact, the entire Twilight Hammer is filled with factions that believe in different Old Gods, which is the reason for their frequent internal struggles.

There are currently three known ancient gods, namely the thousand-eyed demon Cthun at the end of the Great Desert of Silysus, under the ruins of the Zerg Empire, the thousand-eyed demon Enzos, who is hidden in the dark deep sea where there is no light, and the last one, the very mysterious, Yog-Saron, the thousand-throated demon who is said to be above the roof of the world in Northrend.

Each of the Elder Gods has its own followers, and they rule their faith by various means, and in Twilight's Hammer, faith is a very important part, and every newcomer to this organization will be grouped into different factions according to their beliefs.

But there is only one person who is the exception... That is the founder of Twilight's hammer, the two-headed ogre Gugar, no one has ever known which ancient god Gugar believes in, but judging by the spells he occasionally uses in battle, this mysterious ogre has the eye skills of Cthun, can also use the power of nightmares to destroy opponents, and finally can skillfully use the law of Fall, which is the magic of the Yog-Saron faction.

In other words, this ogre seems to be under the watchful eye of three Elder Gods at the same time, which is almost impossible, but Gurgar has done just that, and as such, his position in Twilight's Hammer is very unique.

"You... Why? ”

Somewhere outside of the mysterious Wall of Beetles, the ogre Gugar half-knelt on the ground and pressed his head against the cold wall in front of him as a way to communicate with a powerful being inside the Wall of Beetles.

It's embarrassing to say, but Gugar can't enter this wall at the moment, because the wall of beetles is made of the mysterious sealing technique cast by the five-colored dragon at the end of the quicksand battle a thousand years ago, and with Gugar's current strength, he can't directly break this seemingly fragile, but actually extremely strong wall.

And the entire Zermen Empire is sealed behind the Beetle Wall, but this is only a theoretical statement, as far as the current Silissus Desert is concerned, almost everywhere is the worm nest built by the Zermen under the quicksand, and even in the Tanaris Desert in the northeast, there are large worm nests of the Worm Pioneers, that is to say, in a thousand years, this wall has lost its role in containing the Worms, at least the power of containment, is no longer complete.

At this time, Cthun's deep voice echoed in the ogre's mind, and Gugar felt as if he had been thrown into a storm, and his soul was constantly swaying as Cthun's voice rose and fell.

Mortals could not listen to the voices of the Elder Gods, and even a single undisputed murmur was enough to destroy the will of the strongest mortals, and only those madmen who had truly embraced the Void could barely maintain their sanity in the oppression of this power.

In the face of Cthun's inquiry, Gugal coughed lightly, and a trace of darkness flashed in his three eyes:

"I am here for your victory, and I am here for the challenges you are facing. (I brought back a message for the Supreme Thousand-Eyed Demon.) ）”

"Senseless concealment, flesh and blood... Can't lie... Say! ”

Cthun's voice sounded in Gugar's head like thunder, causing blood to flow from the ogre's eyes, nostrils, and ears, and in that pain, the ogre said with difficulty:

"She's back! She's here! She stands on your earth! (Salatas!) The Fifth Ancient God... She's spying on your power! She's planning a war! She's going to take back everything she's lost! ）”

"The ancient avengers are here! (She's here for you!) ）”
