2. Draenor's Lizardman Attack (Part II)

What was once a Hellfire fortress has now been hollowed out from the inside, and the entire interior of the nearly 130-meter-high walls has been designed as a complete, quirky, and evil-style laboratory.

But beyond these massive test instruments, the lab has produced a number of discoveries that are of great significance to the Darkblade Legion.

This was once the place where the Blood Lords used to study the "Blood Transition", and it was here that the Blood Lords systematically sorted out the inheritance system of Sarein and the Blood Clan, and it was also here that the Blood Lords, led by Myra, reshaped the ritual of blood transfer, so that the dangerous and uncertain relationship between Sarein and the Blood Servants was remedied.

It was only then that the Salein became a race with the ability to carry on its own and its entire cultural heritage.

Now, Salein has been divided into several different lineage systems, including the blood inheritance of the Darkblade, the blood inheritance of humans, the magic inheritance of Sindra, and some strange inheritances that are not recognized by the mainstream.

And it is also here that the outstanding alchemy masters of the Blood Lords, Saiwen and Ortem, have produced a series of enhancement potions with strange names based on the blood of the demigods, and now those potions occupy a very important position in Azeroth's business system, and are the wealth collection department of the Darkblade Legion, the core commodity system of the Darkblade Consortium, relying on these potions every year, the Darkblade Consortium can earn back a considerable amount of money for the Great Lord to support the financial operation of the entire Darkblade.

Finally, it was here that the two Great Lichs completed the study of the nature conversion between death, holy light, evil powers, and arcane, so that the Darkblade Legion no longer had sequelae about the recruitment of paladins, druids, and mages, and also made the High Lord clear about the nature of the conversion between the six basic forces of the stars, making his understanding of death more profound.

And now, this laboratory should be shouldering a high-end research project on the fusion of the six basic forces and elements of the stars, but unfortunately this project has touched the mystery of the core power of this star, and it is proceeding very, very slowly, so the great lich Anastarian started a second research project here.

Seriously, that project was originally just the work of the Great Lich's idle game, but in the hands of him and the other researchers, it bloomed more than they expected...

That's right! It's the "big plan" project!

Those terrifying lizardmen, who are about to start a war in the world of Draenor, are only a trivial part of this plan.

The High Lord was standing on the second floor of the laboratory at this time, and in front of him, a petri dish filled with a strange liquid was placed, and in that cold liquid, a strange blood-red lizardman was being placed in it.

Even during the dormant process, the lizardman was still carrying out strange activities on its body, and there were several bloody wounds on its abdomen, in which the flesh was constantly surging, but this was not a deliberate wound, but a sign that the strange lizardman was constantly evolving itself.

Tyrion knew the skinny and eccentric lizardman he had brought out of the Lightning King's palace, something "interesting" he had brought with him while he was on his way to find the trapped Great Guardian Rai.

"It has a very high mind, it can communicate with us, it calls itself Primosius, that's the Mogu word for "evolution"..."

The archlich Anastarian stood behind Tyrion and introduced the strange blood-red lizardman in front of him to the High Lord:

"Primosius was a failure that the Thunder King's minions accidentally made when they were studying the Naraksha Engine, but it was not a complete failure, at least in my opinion, the energy injected into it by the Narach Engine, although it destroyed the stability of its body cells, but it unexpectedly untied its genetic shackles for it... Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy supply, this weird creature can continue to evolve without end! ”

"Well, that sounds amazing."

Tyrion bowed slightly, he was also a fellow who had studied creation with the Guardians, so he could understand the meaning of the Great Lich, but he had a question:

"If it can keep evolving, then why is it still maintaining such a low combat power and this terrible form after more than 10,000 years?"

"Because it's a failure, my great lord."

The Great Lich looked at the sealed Primosius in front of him with a hint of regret, and he whispered:

"Its evolution is uncontrollable, and evolution is a good thing, as you can see, just look at the wound in its abdomen... Its life template is not perfect, which determines that it cannot adapt to the vast majority of evolution, and the consequence of not being able to adapt is that those extra organs will tear its body apart, and the pain will force it to go to the next round of evolution, but perhaps a useless organ will be born..."

"It's been tortured for 10,000 years, and seriously, it's a miracle that it can still maintain its current form, it should have completely collapsed into a disgusting mass of flesh and blood in the endless torment."

"You found it and brought it back, Great Lord, it was you who started the "Great Plan"! ”

The Great Lich turned around and led the High Lord to the petri dish on the other side of the laboratory, where there were more than a dozen petri dishes stacked together, each of which contained the body of a lizardman, but each one was different, the lizardman on the far left still maintained the appearance of the Pandarian lizardman in Tyrion's memory, and the one on the far right had completely become the lizardman of Draenor.

It's been a long evolution... On the left is the starting point, behind is the end point, and at least the current end point.

Compared to the native lizardmen of Pandaria, the lizards that appear in Draenor are now nearly twice as large, the scales on their bodies have become thick and tough, aggressive bone spurs have appeared on their backs, their big tails have become more powerful, and between their legs, a fierce aura rushes towards their faces.

The High Lord keenly noticed that several of the dozen or so samples representing the Lizardmen's plans were clearly showing traits similar to those of dragons and wurms, and he looked back at the Great Lich and asked:

"You've strengthened them with dragon blood?"

"Yes!"

Like a professional researcher, the Great Lich explained in detail:

"Using Primosius's genes as an excellent evolutionary blueprint, using the dragon's blood as the nourishment for repairing the biological template, adding the genes of various dinosaurs we collected from the Zendarar Islands to it, maturing through the magic of time, and then using the ritual of spiritual contact between the troll's Loa and the believers, injecting them with the most basic wisdom, the final result... It's the current Lizardman, I call it the "Warhammer" Lizardman..."

"They have ankylosaurus-like scales! There is a predatory instinct of a tyrannosaurus! It has the explosive power of a demon tyrannosaurus! There is a vision of poaching dragons! It has the ability to reproduce like a frog! The dragon's blood gives them a strong self-healing ability, and Primosius' weakened genes give them more evolutionary possibilities... For example, those rare white lizardmen, they have more than 3-5 times the strength and physical fitness of ordinary lizardmen! ”

As if he were showing off his favorite toy, Anastarian said to the High Lord:

"In the last trial cycle, there have also been elemental friendly lizardmen, and maybe soon, there will be more lizardmen elemental slayers in the Warhammer clan... There are also some degraded lizardmen, who have a weak intelligence but are extremely strong in strength and physical fitness, and they will also make great fighters! ”

"So, the positioning you give them is actually an enhanced war cannon fodder?"

The Great Lord said bluntly and with appreciation:

"A great idea, you've once again refreshed my predictions about your abilities, my archlich, and you've done something that shocks me too! But what I'm more curious about is the nature of the big plan, or rather, your manipulation of these lizardmen legions that are likely to get out of control, I believe, you must have shaped a perfect social system, right? ”

"Yes, of course I did!"

Anastarian flicked his fingers, and in the midst of the magic flash, a metal door opened behind the two of them, a more intimate laboratory where some... Uh, weird stuff.

"It, it's the spiritual leader of the lizardmen, and the only interpreter of the big plan!"

The Great Lich said to the High Lord:

"As long as it's there, the Lizardmen Legion will never be out of our control!"

"Hmm."

Tyrion looked up and down at the creature sitting on the golden throne in a strange posture in front of him, and after a dozen seconds of silence, he turned his head to look at the Great Lich beside him:

"I know everything... But why, is a head... Frog? ”

"No, no, no! Not a frog! ”

Anastarian raised his finger and shook it, and he uttered a very awkward name:

"It's a toad! The last spokesperson left by the Ancient Saint in the world, the secret guardian created by the Ancient Saint himself, the loyal executor of the grand plan, the wise man, the immortal leader, and the only faith of the lizardmen! ”

"Ancient Sage, who is it?"

Tyrion frowned, he looked at the big frog sitting on the throne in front of him, yes, although the Great Lich called it a toad, it was a big frog, amazingly large, with dark green skin on its body, but unlike other frogs, it seemed to be more accustomed to sitting cross-legged on the throne in the posture of this humanoid creature, and its funny face was full of a serious expression, as if it was meditating, and it seemed to be thinking about some important question.

In short, if you ignore the consistent impression of frogs by ordinary people, then the magic toad in front of you, just by relying on its appearance, is still very capable of bluffing.

But the appearance could not hide the eyes of the big lord, and he soon gained insight into the essence of the "solemn and serious" big frog in front of him...

The majestic soul hidden under its body and the faint white halo that lingers around it, the faint light that represents faith cannot be hidden from the great lord, and the strange creatures that live on their souls and beliefs are still beasts, then there is only one answer!

It's a Loa!

"Kagwa! The god of the Frog Swamp, right? That's your name! ”

The Great Lord stretched his brows and looked at the big frog in front of him, he called out the name of the big frog in front of him, and as a result, the big toad who pretended to meditate and maintained his majesty opened his eyes suddenly, and they were a pair of big green eyes.

"No, no! I'm not called Kagwa, I'm a magic toad! The only spokesperson left in this world by the Great Old Saints, my mission is to make the grand plan run perfectly, and to do so, I and my loyal lizardmen warriors will not hesitate to wash the entire world! That's it! ”

The big frog said his own setting with a strange face, and at the same time glared at the big lich behind Tyrion with big eyes, but it was finally exposed, and the big lord took a step forward with a strange smile, he looked at the huge big frog in front of him, and he whispered:

"Speak well, Kagwa, or don't talk about it!"

This faint threat made the big frog shrug his shoulders humanely, and his majestic posture collapsed in an instant, and the big frog stretched out his paws, picked up a fat worm from the table next to him, rolled it up with his big flexible tongue, swallowed it in his mouth, and said to the great lord while eating the delicious food:

"Alright, well, I'm Kagwa, you should be the rumored Lord of the Necromancy, Lord Tyrion, seriously, I could easily join this powerful and glorious system, I'll play my part, you never need to worry... And these loyal lizardmen are much better worshiped than the stingy trolls... My thanks to you for giving me a good job. ”

So, why it? We should have a lot of alternatives. ”

The Great Lord looked at the big frog in front of him, turned his head to look at the Great Lich, who rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, and said to the Great Lord:

"Because the spiritual connection between the gods and believers is a complete system, and only Loa can contact so many individual souls at the same time, so Loa is the most perfect manipulator of the Lizardman Legion, that Princess Tarangi led the Dead Sea Fleet to kill in Zandala, and Bonsandi also took advantage of the chaos to expel many Loa from the Zendara Islands, and we collected a lot of samples of Loa... But Kagwa, is the most perfect. ”

"We've considered Gunk, the god of hunting, and Paku, the god of the wind, but those two Loatai... Uh, to be honest, they're not very good at deceiving people, and they're not too good at fooling their own followers, the spider god Shadra is too hazy and has too many thoughts of his own, and Akunda... Alas, the thunder lizard has no heart at all, and I can't bear to let it suffer from this. ”

The Great Lich Anastarian explains:

"Only Kagwa, the cunning frog who relied on his eloquence, has escaped many wars of Loa in the past thousands of years, and those powerful Loas of each era have been assassinated by their own priests, and the record of their fall, only Kagwa has lived from birth to the present, which proves that it has almost perfect control over its believers, and it is the one that most suits us."

The Great Lich glared at the big frog that was rubbing its belly with its paws, and he said helplessly:

"What else can we do? I had to choose it, but now it seems that Kagwa has done a good job, at least the first batch of Warhammer Lizardmen born are already its most loyal believers, clinging to the glory of the "Great Plan" from the depths of their souls..."

"Yes, lizardmen don't have good brains, so it's easy to get caught up in the glory of the big plan!"

The big frog Kagwa rubbed his belly and said to the big lord with a proud face:

"And with the help of Gunk and Paku, they will soon be the first step in the big plan!"

"Thoroughly clean Draenor!"
