59. North-South Confluence (Part I)

"Don't move! You're badly wounded! ”

The gentle human language sounded in the ears of the Great Empress Shakohir, which made the Great Empress, whose consciousness was still a little vague, twist her neck.

The next moment, a warm healing energy began to heal her wounds along her body, and although she had never felt this natural healing power, the Empress could feel that there was no malice in this power, and after a scalp-tingling assassination, Shakohir felt that she needed to be relieved urgently.

By the way, how to deal with the despicable assassinations of the old and undead, terrible bad old men of the Calaksi Council.

The badly wounded Empress was now in the base camp of the Demolitionists, in a cave in the Kasanlang jungle, and she was looking at the cave that had been greatly widened with a scrutinizing and warning gaze, which was filled with all kinds of instruments that she couldn't understand, like a laboratory, but what surprised the Empress the most was that there were still humans in the cave guarded by the bugs!

It was a human dressed in strange wooden armor, and at this time, this human druid was helping the Empress heal her injuries... In the caverns, there are many other races of druids conducting experiments that seem to be important.

There are humans that the Great Empress has seen, as well as minotaurs, werewolves, boar men, and even orcs and night elves that she has never seen.

And these odd-looking flesh races are not afraid of the Chira-Nai Pyroids that roam the lab, and will even drive them to help them carry something.

This kind of scene that could not have been possible in the Empress's mind made Shakehir a little unsure of how to accept everything in front of her for a while, and the Empress, who had sharp senses, saw a common emblem on the chests of these guys, obviously, this was a huge organization, and now, this strange organization was sending kindness to her.

But Shakohir didn't know if he should accept it...

"Bang"

A basket of strangely shaped, meat-like things was placed in front of the eyes of the Grand Empress Shakohir, and the strange scent interrupted the Great Empress's thoughts, the Great Empress in a gorgeous amber-embellished robe with a golden mantis crown raised her green mantis-like head, and she saw the dismantler, Skrax, standing in front of her.

Speaking of which, the appearance of the Great Empress Xia Ke Hill is still somewhat similar to a spider demon like Skrish, as the Great Empress of the Praying Mantis Demon, Xia Ke Hill does not walk on two feet like other mantis demons, she has four insect limbs instead of legs, and her wings have degenerated and can no longer fly, this posture is extremely similar to the form of the Nai Yu Spider Demon, the only difference is that the Nai Yu Spider Demon has no wings, and compared to the two big compound eyes that the Mantis Demon fused together, the spider demons have more scattered eyes.

"Eat, honored guest, you look weak."

The dismantler leaned slightly over the Empress with the ancient spider demon etiquette, and it said with a spiritual link:

"This is the food made by the goblins of Kalimdor especially for zerg life like us, and it may seem a little weird, but trust me, it's more nutritious and tasteful than the ones you eat on a daily basis."

But the Empress did not stretch out her limbs like hands, but instead looked at Skris in front of her with a suspicious gaze, and after a moment she questioned in her hoarse voice in the ancient language of the mantis:

"So, who are you? You are a Zerg I haven't seen, I guess, the descendants of the Yaki Empire, still exist in the outside world, are you Naiyou? Or is it its pull? ”

"Ah, the ancient language of the Yaqui Empire, I haven't spoken it in thousands of years."

The dismantler replied in a mouthful, moth-like voice:

"Let go of your senseless vigilance, Shacohir, I've lived 4,000 years, and in my eyes you're just a reckless and reckless wild girl... I'm your senior, and of course, your status is special... The status of the Great Empress dooms you to trust outsiders easily, but I think it should be enough to use your life as a gesture of goodwill on our part. ”

"As for me, I am an Ankaha priest, probably the last Ankaha priest left in the world, you don't need to know the meaning of this name, you just need to know that the Naiyou Spider Demon I represent has reached the brink of extinction, and the Qila Zerg has been uprooted... Let's eat first, and then the Blightburner brothers heal your injuries... I'll take you to see something. ”

A glint flashed in the dismantler's silver-white compound eyes, and it whispered:

"You must be thinking about how you should deal with the despicable assassination of the Mantis Demon Elders... You'll also think about how you can rule the mantis demon civilization even after removing the restrictive elders, but your horizons limit your thinking... In short, I will offer you the right path that you can choose to accept or reject... The choice is yours. ”

"So be it!"

After saying that, the dismantler turned around and left without stopping, the things it had at hand were very complicated, the Mantis Demon's Kepa Sacred Tree had already been found by it several times, but the problem was that it was not enough to have these sacred trees that produced amber, it had to find a way to get the mantis demon's secret amber regeneration technology, and the Great Empress Xia Keshir in front of him was undoubtedly a breakthrough.

Of course, the intervention of the withercaller is inevitable, after all, the Patriarch has promised Tyrion that they will find a way to integrate the mantis demon into the power of the withercaller, and the promise has been made, and it must be fulfilled diligently, so the dismantler's promise to Shacohir is actually a hoax... At the moment the Empress arrived, she had no freedom of her own.

Even if she doesn't, the Blightcaster's Great Druids will find a way to "convince" her to accept the kindness.

But Xia Keshir herself can set off a huge chaos within the mantis demon, which has already proved her political ability, although the dismantler did not say it explicitly, but the empress can vaguely feel that an opportunity, or rather, a bottomless pit has appeared in front of her, so, do you want to jump down?

Shacohir's mind raced wildly, and she reached out and took a strange piece of meat-like pastry from the basket and put it in her mouth.

Well... It tastes good, mixed with the greasy smell of fat and the fishy sweetness of meat, and a licorice-like aftertaste, and it seems that the creatures called goblins are very good at cooking.

Why don't you invite a few goblin chefs to cook for you after you reclaim the kingdom?

—————————————————

After a few hours, the Queen's serious injuries were brought under control and the toxins removed from her body, and she was led by a spider guard to the Demolition's lab.

Then she saw at a glance the several Kepa trees that had been transplanted into the cavern.

"This is our tree! You thief! ”

The Empress scolded the dismantler, who was doing some kind of research, and the latter, standing in front of the test bench, said without raising his head:

"When did the Sacred Tree of Kepa in the Yaqui Empire become the private property of the Mantis Demon? If my ancestor's account is correct, the Sacred Tree of Kepa must belong to the Yaki Empire, right? As descendants of the Yaki Empire, aren't we qualified to inherit it? ”

"You are despicable thieves!"

The dismantler's voice became sarcastic:

"The Mantis Demon fled before the collapse of the Yaki Empire, it was Nayu and Chira who held out until the fall of the Empire, and you stole the most important legacy of the Empire while we were fighting the barbarian trolls on the front lines... How? After 10,000 years, will the mantis demon be able to collect these inheritances that belong to everyone with peace of mind? ”

"Do you really don't want any face at all?"

Skrax's rebuttal made the Great Empress Shacohir speechless, although there was nothing wrong with its description, but it selectively ignored one point, even during the period of the Yaki Empire, the technology of Kepa Sacred Tree and Amber Regeneration was also the unique inheritance of the mantis demon, just like the genetic technology of the Nai Ghost Spider Demons, the crystal obelisk technology of the Worm Man.

But that was tens of thousands of years ago, and it doesn't make sense to talk about it now.

So Shacohir let her anger dissipate a little, and then she asked in a deep voice:

"I don't have time to waste here with you, my kingdom needs me! Especially in this stormy time, so, what you want, what can I get, just say it. ”

"Refreshing!"

Only then did the dismantler put down what he was doing, it turned around, brushed its coquettish moon-white robe, and then said to the mantis demon empress in front of him:

"First of all, I want your Kepa Tree Breeding Technology and Amber Regeneration Technology, which are important for the revival of the Naiyou Spider Demon."

"Secondly, the Mantis Demon Kingdom must become a neutral ally of the Blightburner Sect, and in the years to come, without permission, you will no longer be able to climb over the Dragon's Spine to slaughter the Panda People and the creatures of Pandaria."

"Finally, you and your Amber Masters will assist me in completing the rebirth of the Neyou Spider Demon, and at some appropriate time, the Mantis Demon and the Neyou Spider Demon will form the titular Worm Civilization and restore the style of the Yaki Empire."

The three conditions of the dismantler, each of which rekindled the anger in the empress's heart, but she did not show it, obviously, she was waiting for the conditions given by the dismantler, such a harsh request, if there is a satisfactory return, it is not impossible to agree...

Exchange and compromise are the truths of politics and the development of all things in the world.

"As for what you get?"

The dismantler moved its bug head, and it whispered:

"Let me think, um... The Blightcaller mobilizes all the powers to help you rid of the archaic and decaying Council of Karaxi, and help you stabilize the Mantis Demon Kingdom. ”

"One-third of the entire South China Sea Islands will be divided into mantis demons as a new country to thrive."

"After becoming an ally of the Blightcaller, any attack or threat to the Mantis Demon will be fully supported by the Blightcaller... And, in due time, we may be able to get a whole new world... A world where only the Zerg survive! ”

"Not enough!"

The Empress did not hesitate to reject these proposals, saying:

"I'll deal with the rotten council myself, the mighty mantis demon can easily occupy an entire continent, and finally... Blightcaster? What is this thing? We have inherited tens of thousands of years, does the great mantis demon need its protection? ”

"And what new world are you talking about... You don't look like a madman, but what you say makes me laugh, the mist-bound barrier that held back the mantis demon is gone, and soon, all of Azeroth will be ours, and we will rebuild the Dark Empire of the Great Ruler in this world, is there a better world than this? ”

"If you are smart enough, a descendant of the Yaki Empire, you should belong to me now, and when I return to my kingdom, the rebirth of the Naiyou Zerg will naturally be realized, and I will even mercifully allow you to participate in the government affairs of the nascent Yaki Zerg Empire... So, get on your knees! The last descendant of Nayu, pledge your allegiance to me! ”

The empress's deliberately arrogant response made the dismantler shrug helplessly, the spider priest looked at the empress in front of him like a fool, it could probably guess that this was a way for Shacohir to bargain, but the problem was, it was too busy to play this kind of political game with the empress, so it turned back and complained about something that didn't exist behind it:

"You see, I've said it a long time ago, these guys who are used to being the overlord in the poor countryside are not so smart, and they don't have a big picture... I've finished talking to her about what I can talk about, it's your turn. ”

With that, the dismantler ignored Shakohir, and it turned around to continue its research, and under Shakoshir's gaze, a night elf druid with a thornwood staff and wearing a primitive armor slowly walked out of the darkness.

Deerhelm looked at the Great Empress in front of him, and the Great Druid of the Blightcaster said calmly:

"Then, please ask the Grand Empress Shacohir to come with me, the Great Druids of the Blightburn are waiting for you in the Emerald Sanctuary..."

"We have enough time to resolve our differences and then agree on a mutually acceptable term..."

"Of course, you have no right to refuse this invitation! And the bad news, I'll tell you in advance, that Lady Shacohir, the master of the Mantis Demon and the heart of darkness left by the ancient god Ashaji, in Pandaria, was completely destroyed last night... In other words, your so-called belief system has begun to crumble at the source. ”

"With all due respect, if you don't think about a way, you, the empress, will soon have no country and people to rule."
