"So you rejected her like that?"

At the regular meeting of the kings, Gianna looked at King Garin with a look of surprise on his face, and said in a bitter voice:

"Your Majesty, you should do this, we need the Blightcaller's knowledge of the Zermen, and we need their support... A large hive has appeared at the southernmost end of the Flash Plains, and the bugmen are brewing war, and we need allies! ”

"So what else can I do?"

Garin raised his head and looked at Gianna, his eyes shining with anger:

"The Blightcasters are not really allied with us at all, and the god-like woman made it clear, they are neutral, and they believe that the existence of the undead is justified! They don't have a common enemy with us, and they won't help us in the future when we fight the Darkblade, is it really necessary to meet such an ally? ”

"It's also better to be neutral than to push them against us, Garin! Your hatred of the undead has begun to affect your judgment! ”

Gianna stared at Garin without letting go, and under the gaze of the other kings, the voice of the ** master became sharp:

"The war with the Darkblade is something that will happen in the future, and the threat of the Zergs is real, and those monsters are ready to attack us at any time! And you've pushed away the only person on this damn continent who is willing to take the initiative to help us! Are you crazy? ”

"You don't realize the seriousness of the problem, Gianna!"

Garin slapped the table and stood up, and the young king cried out:

"That's a new faith, ** teacher! I know you're a nonbeliever, but we're not the same, we're followers of the Light, and the Light guides us in battle, and it's dangerous to let the faith of the withered into the Empire... I've made it very clear that they think the existence of the undead is justified! Do you understand? Once this belief spreads across the Empire, those believers will also consider the existence of the Grimblade justified... They will be washed away by their hatred by faith! ”

"Do you understand? The teachings of the Blightcaller are terrible... At least for us, that kind of doctrine would destroy the very foundations of the existence of the Empire... Have you forgotten what the spirits of the dead have done to us? Think about it, once the people began to think that the undead were harmless, then what was the result? ”

Garin lowered his head, he gasped sharply, and he said tiredly:

"We will never return to our ancestral land... The people are not willing to participate in the war against the undead and rely only on us... How do you defeat the Darkblade? ”

The atmosphere in the hall became gloomy and oppressive at this moment, Gianna wanted to refute Garin's point of view, but she also had to admit that what Garin said made sense, the mages of Dalaran believed in knowledge and took knowledge as faith, but the civilians of the empire were not like this, once the faith of the withered spread in the empire, then what the result would be, it was really hard to say.

"Garin was right."

A moment later, the eldest king, Gianna's elder brother Drake, played with the pocket watch in his hand, which he thought about, squinted his eyes, and whispered:

"But Anna's suspicions are also correct, the results of the scouts' reconnaissance in Tanaris have come back, not to mention the Zerg base camp in Silisus, even the number of Zerg in that big rift in the Tanaris Desert is enough for us to have a headache, I can only say that relying on humans alone really can't win this battle... And most importantly..."

"In Kurtilas, the teachings of the Blightcaller have begun to spread, at least in Drusva, which is occupied by the undead, the people of Kul Tiras have begun to convert to the Blightcaller, those Druids have indeed protected my people in the dark mountains, and for that alone, I must thank them, and the Church of the Light of Kul Tiras has strictly divided the distribution of the doctrine with the Blightcaller a few years ago..."

Drake's gaze crossed over the kings in front of him, and he said:

"Do you understand what I mean? We need the power of the Blightburners, but we also need to be wary of the spread of the Blightcall's teachings, and the Empire itself has its own religion, so the decision on this matter is not in our hands, ladies and gentlemen..."

He knocked on the table and said to the other kings:

"It's a matter of faith, it requires the nod of the Pope and the archbishops, we don't have the right to decide, so there's no point in arguing."

After a few seconds, Drake coughed lightly:

"Also, Garin... I advise you to be mentally prepared in advance. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"I mean, with my knowledge of the Pope and the current situation, it's likely that you really need to apologize to Patriarch Moyana, and you have to win her forgiveness... Seriously, you shouldn't have been so impulsive. ”

"Wow"

Somewhere in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, the ground of the desolate land suddenly shook strangely, and after a few seconds, the dust on the ground turned outward, and more than a dozen strange figures appeared on the ground under the setting sun.

It's a dozen bugs... But it's not Qila insects, they have a black appearance, but they wear light armor made of special materials, those insect warriors also hold weapons similar to insect jaws in their hands, and among their guards, there are several insect priests wearing black, embellished with strange patterns and silver spider silk robes, one of which is an "old friend" of the ** Shi Gianna.

Eldraine Nirub's High Priestess of the Spider Demons, Skris the Dismantler, clutched a rune stone in his sharp forelimbs, and in the air in front of him, a blue curtain of light flickered slightly, on which was a rough map of Kalimdor, and the boundaries of the Human Empire were marked with special magic.

The lower half of the dismantler's body is a spider-like structure, while its upper body is humanoid, and on its face is a unique silver compound eye, the last time it was bombarded by Tyrion with terrible soul power, the injury has healed, but it is still on its "face", leaving a hideous scar, the light that represents the beating of spiritual power flows in its silver compound eye, and after a moment, the dismantler puts away the rune stone.

"This is it, the realm of humanity... I felt the breath of "compatriots", and it seems that the information we got was very accurate, and another descendant of the Yaqui Worm Empire lived not far from here... Very good, very good..."

The gloomy spider demon priest's black robe was windless, and its huge spiritual power spread across the surface of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and began to search for Gianna's soul fluctuations in the human city.

"We will reclaim the legacy of the ancient empire, and it will help the Spider Demon reclaim his lost homeland... All this is fate. ”

The spider priest's use of spiritual power has entered an indescribable level, and soon, the information it transmitted in the invisible diffusion of energy was received by Gianna who was far away in the port of the White Tower, and after dozens of minutes, a blue portal lit up in the remote valley of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and the figures of **Shi Modra, **Shi Gianna and **Shi Ansrem jumped out of the portal.

"Skrax? I didn't expect you to show up at this moment. ”

Gianna looked at the Spider Priest who was being guarded by the Spider Guardians in front of her, and the experience of adventure in the Northrend continent came to her eyes, allowing Gianna to welcome the "guests" who came from afar in front of her with a joyful mood.

"Arthas has gone to the Borean tundra, and the undead are attacking there, and he can't be separated, but believe me, spider friends, you will be welcomed by the kings in the human empire."

**Shi Modra politely welcomed the arrival of the Spider Demon Priest, while ** Master Ansrem, who had never been in contact with the Spider Demons, looked at the dangerous guy in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze... Without the help of any spell casting tools, he can spread his spiritual power for nearly a hundred kilometers, and the spider demon priest in front of him has been labeled as "dangerous" by him.

This rare amount of spiritual power means that as long as it is due to this spider demon, it can easily manipulate the minds of nearly a hundred civilians, or silently manipulate the will of the soldiers.

"The spiders never forget their promises, human friends."

Skrist's hazy voice sounded in the heart of the ** master in front of him, just like in the past, this spider priest behaved very calmly, it didn't have the red tape of humans, and it said the purpose straight to the point:

"I heard that you're preparing to go to war with the Zerg civilization called 'Qila'? That's why I'm here, the Spider Demon is willing to help the Human Empire, and in exchange, we hope that after destroying the nest of the Chira worm, you can hand over the intact, unhatched eggs to us..."

It is certainly happy to get an ally, but the strange intentions of the spider demon made the three ** masters scratch their heads, ** master Modra asked:

"The eggs of the insects are very dangerous things, according to the samples collected by our scouts, once they hatch, they will become terrible killers, those hatched insects have no consciousness of their own, but they have a brutal and terrible nature, so I am curious, what do you want those eggs for?"

Faced with this question, the silver-white compound eyes on the dismantler's face flashed a glimmer of light, and instead of answering it head-on, it asked rhetorically:

"My human friends, have you heard the story of the 'Yaki Worm Empire'? ”

"Hmm."

Shi Gianna nodded, in the past and today, she heard from the Patriarch Moyana about the war between the ancient Yaki Empire and the Troll Empire.

"But that Zerg Empire is ruined, isn't it? It is said that the insects are their descendants, just as ferocious as their ancestors, but have evolved to become more terrifying. ”

"No, no, no, Qila is not the only descendant of the Yaki Empire."

The dismantler let out a series of low laughter in the hearts of the ** masters:

"After the collapse of the ancient Yaqui Empire, three distinct sub-civilizations survived, one of them migrated to the southernmost tip of the world, where they rebuilt their kingdom under the rolling sand, another disappeared into the long river of civilization, and the last one went to the northernmost part of the world, and under the bitter cold wind and snow, the Eldraine-Nirub spider demons also had their own unique civilization..."

"Yes, friends, spiders, we... We are also one of the legitimate descendants of the Yaki Empire, and we are here to retrieve the legacy of the Yaki Empire, but don't worry, we have no relationship with the Qila Worm for a long time, and now... We are on your side. ”

"New allies, new quests, and the Spider... A new future. ”

"Look at this place!"

The black-veiled Thassarian grumbled as he grabbed the shotgun in his hand and kept firing ahead, the brass-colored bullet casings smashing on the disgusting red fungus carpet at his feet, and in front of his eyes, the brightly colored Chira worms that were constantly coming out of the cave were constantly blasted under the powerful bullet bombardment, and the corpses of the bugs were already piled up in the line of defense in front of Thassarian's eyes.

Beside him, a dozen Death Knights and their undead infantry were firing incessantly, and behind Thassarian several Dwarven Engineers were planting massive high-explosive bombs in the depths of the small hive.

For nearly a week since arriving in Silishus, the Order has been busy with this work in addition to hunting down the Twilight cultists everywhere...

They don't want to pay attention to the bugs, but the problem is that in the places where the Twilight cultists gather, there are always these damned, savage, disgusting, and never-ending Chila bugs.

Fortunately, in the face of such fears, the unafraid necromancers are better suited to kill than humans or other flesh creatures.

"Dogen, okay!"

Thassarian pulled out the empty magazine and threw it in the tactical bag behind his back, then took a special magazine from Rured beside him, he glanced back at the busy engineers behind him, and after confirming that the bomb was installed, the human death knight roared angrily, and aimed his shotgun at the buzzing swarm in front of him, and the other death knights took a step back in unison.

"Boom"

A special bullet pierced the head of the first purple beetle, breaking the monster apart, and then pierced the second worm's abdomen, after the kinetic energy was exhausted, the magic pattern on the bullet was activated, and the magic crystal hidden inside the large bullet became unstable, and in the piercing scream, a huge fireball exploded in the passage of the small hive, and the raging flames engulfed everything around it.

In the pungent smoke of gunpowder, the Order commando stared at the roasted insect limbs and rushed out of the hive, behind them was the angry Qira swarm, Thassarian turned around and fired another explosive bullet, and at the same time as the second fireball shot into the sky, the bomb in the depths of the small hive was also activated, and in the frantic shaking of the ground beneath their feet, behind the commando, a thick pillar of fire almost rose into the sky, drowning the entire sandy land and the insects that had not had time to escape.

"Phew"

After the vibration slowed slightly, Thassarian spat out the sand in his mouth, and he looked at his retracted magazine with some distress, and there were less than five rounds left in the staggering and powerful explosive bullets.

"Hell, 2,000 gold coins in exchange for a bunch of meaningless bug corpses!"

The human death knight flapped the flame on his arm, he cursed in a bad breath, and then the entire assault team began to pack their things and prepare to return to their camp in the Silissus Desert, when a Minotaur machine gunner who was on guard on the perimeter suddenly shouted:

"Captain! There's a guy over there! He looks like he needs help... Looks like an elf! Some bugs are chasing him! ”

"Huh? Genie? In this place? ”
