What Viren talked to Anduin about the recent unpeaceful world of Draenor at Camp Ulduar actually happened more than a month ago.

And the scale and impact of this incident is much more serious than the Prophet's understatement, but considering that the Prophet did not personally witness the attack on the Draenor civilization by those strange lizardmen, his inaccurate description is not a mistake.

It was around the same time that the dwarves found the map of Ulduar's city, and in another world connected by the Dark Gate, an ogre caravan between the Nagrand steppes and Golrond was attacked, and the scale of the attack was not large, and the attackers were repelled by the fierce ogres before they could even break through the Ogre guards' defenses.

No one noticed this at the time, under the rule of the Dark Blade, the overall order of the Draenor world was favorably favored, but in a border area like Golrond, small wars between races have never stopped, especially the conflict between the more savage ogres and the tiger tribes who were forced to migrate to Gorrond, it was just like the frequent village fighting, and there was no way to sort it out.

But on the third day after that night attack, the ogre caravan that had repelled the attackers was attacked a second time as it approached the Zangar swamp, and this time, they didn't dodge...

By the time the Breaker tribe of the Zangar Swamp found the last traces of the caravan, all the Breaker Hunters were terrified by the terrible scene.

According to them, the corpses of every ogre in the vast caravan were mutilated, as if they had been deliberately gnawed by some wild beast, full of signs of revenge, but the goods stored in the caravan were carefully selected, and the rampaging raiders were wise, and they took only a few items that might be useful to them.

It is worth noting that, judging from the traces of the scene, this massacre was carried out very neatly, and the whole process may not have lasted more than 20 minutes, it is hard to imagine that in the world of Draenor, there is any race that can defeat the powerful and savage ogre in 20 minutes, and at the scene also vented some strange weapons and armor fragments, which are rough metal, which proves that those attackers have the habit of wearing armor and can smelt metal themselves.

The frightened Breaker Hunters immediately reported the news to the Death Knights stationed in the Zangar Swamp, and after surveying the scene, the Death Knights sent the news to the Guardian of the Draenor North, the Death Lord Syrent. Firewing was there, but the news was withheld, and the matter was slowly forgotten.

However, soon, there were frequent port raids in all the places near the sea in the entire Draenor continent, and some strange, lizard-like creatures rushed into the harbor in canoes in the fog, plundered all kinds of goods, routed the defenders, and then left in the stolen ships.

That's a lizardman...

They look a lot like large lizards that walk upright, with tall and muscular bodies, sharp claws and thick crusty scales, and some bony cuticles on the bright scales, these guys' eyes can turn like lizards, but there is a vicious and intelligent light in them, they seem to be hierarchical, have a complete social civilization system, have their own language, and even seem to have some kind of weird... Faith.

Each of these raids was carried out under the command of some lizardmen officers who wore armor and held heavy weapons, and the low-ranking infantry did not wear armor, but were issued with crude and hideous metal weapons, and even during the raids on the harbor of Frostfire Ridge, these lizardmen also dispatched war beasts that could fly in the air, resembling pterodactyls.

It is difficult to say whether the lizardmen are the native race of the Draenor world, because the main civilization of this small world, that is, the era when the civilization of the orcs has developed to the extreme, they have not made a journey around the entire world, but according to the Draenei people who have lived in this world for more than 200 years, the Draenor world has only one main continent, occupying one-third of the surface area of this world, and the remaining two-thirds are endless oceans, and above that vast ocean, there are indeed many archipelagos.

Maybe these lizardfolk are the creatures that live in those archipelagos, or... They were brought by a certain force from another world.

For a time, along with the frequent port raids, there were all kinds of conspiracy theories, which were directed at the Darkblade Legion, which ruled the world of Draenor and was high.

But before the Darkblade Legion's spokesperson in the world of Draenor responds positively to these vicious conspiracy theories, the oppressed civilizations won't have time to argue about these things anymore... Because those lizardmen who washed out of the sea began to enter the continent on a large scale.

This means that the war... Here we go!

—————————————————

On the coastline of the Teroka Forest, a black turbid current is tumbling from the endless sea to the port of the coast, which is a commercial port built by the exiles of Shattrath City, one of the most important transit points for commercial trade between the exiles and the Raven Kingdom, and is stationed all year round to guard the elite soldiers of the exiles, which is also a very important part of the commercial system of Shattrath City.

But now, the port is facing a terrible crisis.

"Bang"

A heavy, double-edged strange golden sword full of metal spikes slammed down, this hideous weapon engraved with all kinds of strange symbols easily smashed the blade of the ogre guard in front of him, the tall ogre smashed by the brutal force kept retreating, and in front of him, stood a terrible monster wearing golden armor and a serpentine helmet.

It stood up at an astonishing 4 meters, its golden armor covering the lizardman's heart and chest, and its skin exposed beyond the armor was covered in eerie white scales, and it held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and behind it, a tail covered with spikes flicked from side to side, and the tail vertebrae covered with bone spurs resembled a small war hammer.

Standing on the sand with its thick legs, its cold blue eyes shining with the venomous light peculiar to reptilian creatures, the white lizardman looked at the ogre in front of him who was retreating in fear, and in a hoarse, serpent-like voice, it spoke the lingua franca of the awkward world of Draenor, the words were not clear, but barely understood, and what it said was:

"Stupid hot-blooded creatures..."

"You're hindering... Big plan! ”

"Bang"

The terrifying war hammer-like sword smashed down, and the terrified ogre raised his arms to try to block the blow, but the lizardman in front of him was not an ordinary soldier, and the power it possessed could even be called "strange power", and the heavy sword was cut down, along with the ogre's arms, as well as his head, his heart, chest, and ribs, and was smashed into a disgusting mass of flesh.

The warm blood splattered on the lizardman's face, making its expression even more hideous, but the loss of life in front of him did not make the powerful lizardman feel the slightest fluctuation.

It flicked its tail like a whistling ram and smashed into the chest of the Breaker Assassin who was trying to sneak up on the back, smashing the small, mouse-like creature into the icy water, and the next moment, the Breaker was still trying to surface, but in the dark and cold tide, in the deep sea behind it, countless black creatures were rushing to the surface of the sea.

It was a lizardfolk warrior with a spear in hand and no armor... Each of them has the same ruthless mind as their leader.

They are chosen creatures!

They were born with a sacred mission!

Their raison d'être is to clear all obstacles to the big plan!

"For the big plan!"

Above the sea, on the deck of the looted ogre merchant ship, a lizardman general with a sword embellished with Episis crystals, wearing armor and a strange metal ring on the back of his head, wearing a white bone crown and carrying the white bone lizardman battle flag on his back, shouted in his hoarse voice:

"Cleanse the world!"

With its roar, tens of thousands of lizardmen warriors who rushed into the beaches and harbors became even more fanatical, and they used their spears, knives, and even their razor-sharp teeth and claws to engage in a bloody and crazy battle with the enemies trapped in front of them... These lizardmen do not take prisoners, as they have been known by all the guards guarding the harbor during the previous raids, so there is no chance of de-escalation between the two sides.

Win or die!

"Send the news back to Shattrath City! Fast! ”

Major Delaney, stationed in the harbor of the Teroka Forest Coast, swung his war hammer and smashed one of the lizardmen soldiers who had stormed the walls, and in the midst of the blood flying, he turned back to the Raven wizard beside him and shouted:

"It's hard to hold here! There are so many of them! ”

As soon as the major finished speaking, a strange bird flew into the sky from the lizardmen's raiding fleet, flapping its periosteum-covered wings into the sky, it was a strange pterodactyl, as if transformed by some evil magic, its body became larger, like a blood-red bat skimming the sky, and between the howls of that strange sharp head, the lizardmen and air knights riding behind it held high the bone battle banner, like a vanguard in the air.

Soon, the battle for the sky of this port also began, and the Void Ray Knight of the Shattered Sun Air Force, who could still occupy a small air advantage, was forced out of the battlefield by the lizardmen's pterodactyl.

The mad beasts jumped from behind the pterodactyls, jumped into the walls and harbors, and began to burn and loot in a frenzy, a scene that made the defenders who stood on the walls desperate... All their resistance is meaningless.

Ten minutes later, the valiant draenei major had his legs broken and dragged him to the lizardman general, who was holding the Episis crystal sword, and looked at the captive in front of him with cold eyes, it would not accept it into the great lizardman army, and the reason why it was spared was only because of the warrior's heroic fighting posture, which deserved a more glorious end.

Under the gaze of hundreds of lizardmen, the lizardman general raised his sword, and said to the draenei major who was gasping for breath in pain:

"You are not the first warrior to fall before us, and you will not be the last! Your death is a part of the big plan... Feel the supreme glory! ”

Major Delaney, in a pool of blood, watched the whole prosperous port drown in blood and fire, he closed his eyes in pain, and before the blade was added, he shouted with the last of his strength:

"You lunatics! There are no big plans at all... You're crazy! ”

This sentence made the cold light in the lizardman general's eyes skyrocket, and the sharp blade in his hand roared and slashed:

"Foolish disobedient!"

"Huh"

In the midst of a splattering of almost hot blood, the lizardmen general lifted the head of the Draenei, and as it looked at the burning city, it raised its sword aloft:

"It must be done... Big plan! ”

"We will not forgive, we will never rest, we will have no mercy..."

"The warriors of the lizardmen... For the sake of the big plan, cleanse the world! ”

"Roar!"

This cry caused tens of thousands of lizardmen all over the beach to raise their weapons, and those crazy roars seemed to shake the land, and in the roar of those lizardmen, the turbid current of war did not stop for long, and soon, they set off again, continuing in one direction.

And there... It's Shattrath City!

"They're not bad, right?"

On the top platform of the Dark Temple, which has returned to the world of Draenor, the Great Lich Anastarian. The Sunstrider was showing off his latest work to the High Lord Tyrion, and the High Lord, who had completely watched the war on the shores of the Teroka Forest, nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, yes, not bad... These enhanced cold-blooded creatures are not as strong as my legion, but they are barely enough to join the inevitable battle of the end, but I'm curious, my Great Lich, how do you strengthen them, and how do you control them? ”

Tyrion rubbed his chin as he remembered the lizardmen living in the continent of Azeroth's Pandaria, the lizardmen legions in front of him were clearly stronger, tougher, more destructive than those lizardmen, and there was a strong belief that those lizardmen did not have, the power of the bloodline strengthened their bodies, and the strange "big plan" strengthened their hearts.

This made the High Lord very curious, and at his inquiry, the Great Lich turned sideways and made a "please" gesture:

"Come with me, then, Great Lord."

"Let me show you the whole thing... The so-called, big plan! ”
