10. Call for help
When Ysera received Illanicuus's summons, the Dream Queen was checking on the Emerald Dream in the Dream Tower behind her.
As a guardian dragon recognized by the Titans and given power by the Guardians, the responsibility and mission of Ysera and even the entire Dragon Legion is to maintain the order of existence of the Emerald Dream, which is a very important and sacred mission, as one of the half-planes of Azeroth's origin, the connection between the Emerald Dream and the present world is much closer than it seems on the surface.
Once there is a catastrophe in this life, the Emerald Dream will change accordingly, and once the Emerald Dream has a catastrophe, it will undoubtedly cause a drastic change in this life.
But even in the ancient war 10,000 years ago, the Jade Dream Realm was not chaotic to the current situation, which is equivalent to a world that has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, and it was shrouded in the most brutal war overnight, which caught the Green Dragon Legion off guard.
And Ysera shoulders the authority of Azeroth's dream, at this critical moment, she must take on a big responsibility, on the top of the dream tower, Ysera can see the evolution of the entire Emerald Dream and the advancement of the battle through her own eyes, in the past moment, everything that happened in this face could not be hidden from the eyes of the awakened, this world has no secrets in her eyes.
But now, in Ysera's vision of the world, shocking dark red spots were distributed throughout the Emerald Dream Land in a chaotic manner, looking like some kind of lesion in this plane, more like an abscess extending from a piece of healthy skin, which was simply from the malice of the Creator, and after piling up, moldy germs grew.
For a guardian dragon like Ysera, who is extremely front-line, just looking at it will cause instinctive disgust and hatred to rise in his heart, and most importantly, any land corrupted by nightmares will make Ysera lose its observation, just like the fog of war over his eyes, and the awakened cannot see through the food hidden under the fog.
Therefore, on the frontline battlefield, if it is not necessary, the soldiers who fight in the Emerald Dream will rarely go deep into the area of the nightmare to explore, at least before thinking of being able to isolate the invasion of the nightmare, Ysera will not send these brave soldiers into the hell of the nightmare, because the territory of the Emerald Dream is vast, so every defensive battle or counterattack battle, Ysera needs to make timely observations, and once in danger, she can remind the front-line troops to retreat immediately.
While there have been no cases of members of the Green Dragon Legion being corrupted by Nightmares, Ysera's dismal speculation is that due to the Nightmares' corrosive properties, they are unable to corrupt dragons, and it was during this cleanup that Ysera's worst fears happened.
"There are things in the Jade Dream Realm that we can't deal with, don't attack rashly, go to the Dragon Sleep Temple for help!"
"And, my Ysera, this time it may be really... Farewell..."
Illanicus's familiar voice suddenly sounded in Isera's mind, as the most affectionate spouse, Isera could even hear the wisps of trembling in Illanicus's voice, and with Illanicus's character, it was impossible for it to pull such a joke on Isera, that is...
She's going to lose him...
"Bang"
The magic gem held in the awakener's hand was pinched and shattered at this moment, and a sense of unexplained anxiety made the Green Dragon Queen subconsciously rush out of the dream tower, but the moment she turned around, two lines of tears flowed from Ysera's eyes, and the spiritual sense in her heart and Illanicus was forcibly disconnected at this moment, maybe it was not dead, but it was meaningless, this powerful warrior of the Green Dragon Legion had fallen into a real crisis.
Regardless of the authority of the dream, Illanicus's combat power is stronger than Ysera's, if even it can't resist that kind of corrosion, even if Ysera goes to the battlefield in person, it is estimated that it will be too late to save his lover, and most importantly, if Illanicus, who has personally experienced the Battle of the Ancients and the Battle of the Dragons, thinks that Ysera needs to go to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep to find reinforcements, it means that the current war in the Emerald Dream is just a fragile appearance!
Illanicus must have discovered the true horror that lies beneath this "still persevere" appearance... This is what Ysera needs to think about, if the Nightmare side hides a power that makes the Dream King feel terrifying, it means that the current "stalemate" of the war is completely a trap for the Nightmare Power, and the power behind the Nightmare must be looking forward to a more terrifying future than a hearty victory.
An incompatible panic rose in Ysera's heart, in front of her turquoise snake eyes, in the dim sky of the Emerald Dream, it seemed to rise a dark figure with no face, it was like a giant that brought destruction, and every move was surrounded by the power that made the entire Emerald Dream tremble, the green tulle cloak behind Ysera's back was windless, and her long green hair was also flying in the wind.
And at this moment, even the wind on the tower of this dream seems to have the smell of gunsmoke and destruction... Ysera closed her eyes, a bloody scene echoed in her mind, the heavy pressure made the awakened a little breathless, among the five guardian dragon legions, the green legion was indeed not strong, which made Ysera have an indescribable resistance to the upcoming challenges.
"Dragon Sleep Temple..."
The Awakened reached out and rubbed her forehead, she had just lost her adopted son Cenarius, and now she was likely to lose her lover Illanicus, and her beloved Emerald Dream was also under terrible threat, everything she had owned for tens of thousands of years was now about to be taken from her.
How can this make the awakened bearable?
"Buzz"
The power of the dream converged in front of the awakened, and a spatial door from the jade dream to the temple of the dragon's sleep was opened, and at the moment of stepping into this dream door, Ysera glanced back at the distant sky, she pursed her lips and did not say a word, but the shining light in her eyes meant that this dream queen would not give up her home so easily.
However... Will fate, which has long since diverted her course, give her a chance to save everything?
Observers, very curious about this...
——————————————————————————
The Emerald Dream is the holy land of the druids, this dream world has maintained the most perfect state in the eyes of life since the day of birth, whether it is the climate, or the temperature, it is extremely pleasant, and there are even many low-level druids with a little weaker will indulge in that perfect, unreal world, so as to produce indescribable frustration and disgust for the disappointing real world.
And from that perfect environment to step into the center of the icy and snowy Northrend continent, this land named the Dragonbone Wilderness, somewhat unadaptable, the Dragon Bone Wilderness is covered with heavy blood all year round, the average temperature here is unacceptably minus 15-20 °, even the most adaptable ogres and kobolds are difficult to see here, the only large creatures living here are the mammoths who like cold by nature.
But even dragons hate nomadic beasts with incredible brute strength...
The Green Dragon Queen, wearing a very "cool" tulle cloak and weird green armor, appeared alone on the snow in front of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, this posture is very incompatible with the surrounding environment, because Ysera's dress is really... It's so lightweight.
As the queen of the green dragon, as one of the most powerful females in Azeroth, Ysera naturally has a perfect body line and tall height, her skin is slightly purple, just like the skin of a night elf, slender hands have leather gauntlets, and the lower body is wearing close-fitting leather armor, but the dress of the upper body is not so "serious", from a human point of view, Ysera almost only wears armor like underwear that covers her chest, revealing a perfect slender waist and navel, it is worth mentioning, On the navel of this green dragon queen, there is also a tear-shaped gemstone.
Her shoulders were saughlettes entwined with moon-white dream sparks, and on her forehead was a jewel-decorated headband like her sister Alexstasa, resembling a crown, and on the top of her head, there were two pale dragon horns that were offset outward, and her cheeks with green lines were dotted with beautiful eyes, and her eyes were turquoise.
Overall, this is completely in line with the momentum that a powerful dragon king should have, as for her overly exposed upper body, well, it should be regarded as a manifestation of the female dragon Aimei, and according to the description of some mages who are not afraid of death, the hot and beautiful Red Dragon Queen's usual clothes are more "bold" than her own sister, and it is said that men who are lucky enough to see the Red Dragon Queen's humanoid posture have lost interest in women of the same race for a certain period of time.
In short, Ysera strode towards the towering Dragon Sleep Temple in front of him, this is the place where the Five Dragon Kings followed the Titan Guardian Tyr to fight the crazy original dragon Galakron, and it is also the place where the Five Dragon Kings accepted the Titan Favor and officially became the guardian dragon, for the five Dragon Kings, the Dragon Sleep Tower is of great significance to them.
Moreover, in the ice and tears under the tower of the dragon's sleep, there is also a temple that guards the dragon legion, which is the place used by the dragon legion to raise the young dragons and store the dragon eggs, and it is a "treasure house" that the dragons will protect even if they die.
However, at the moment of stepping into the Dragon Sleep Temple, Ysera looked left and right a little blankly, in her memory, the main hall on the first floor of the Dragon Sleep Temple was very lively, and the dependents of the Dragon Legion and some other beings who were friendly with the Dragon Clan would hold treasure fairs here from time to time, and every time Ysera came here, she would see a relatively "prosperous" scene.
But now, here, there's nothing ... The dead silence makes people feel a little hairy.
"Crassus?"
Ysera shouted the name of her sister's favorite consort, the handsome young red dragon who should always be guarding her queen in the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, but in this quaint and wide hall, there was no echo at all except Ysera's own voice.
Don't... The Temple of Dragon's Sleep was also attacked?
Thinking of this, Ysera walked briskly up the stairs to the upper floors, and as she walked upward, she called out the names of the familiar dragons in her memory:
"Torastasa?"
This was the name of Alexstraza's butler, a gentle old red dragon who was trusted by the Red Dragon Queen, but the call was still not answered, and Ysera walked alone on the stairs leading to the top of the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, feeling like she was walking in a sprawling haunted house, and the eerie silence made her scalp tingle.
"Tariostaz! Red Dragon Deacon, come out! ”
Ysera called out another name, it was the head of the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep appointed by the Red Dragon Queen herself, a brave adult red dragon who was very loyal to the queen and never left his post without permission.
"Chromie! Naris! Lishikas! ”
Ysera quickened her pace, and after a few minutes, she moved like a phantom to the top floor of the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, where the palace of the Red Dragon Queen was located, and there were ambassadors from other dragon legions, but it was empty, and even the throne that the Red Dragon Queen had been carefully maintained on a daily basis was covered with a thin layer of snow...
It looks like no one has been active here for a long time.
Ysera, the green dragon queen who came to the Dragon Sleep Temple to seek support, stood blankly in the howling cold wind, facing this strange scene in front of her, she didn't know how to deal with it, the Dragon Sleep Temple, the most important holy place that guarded the dragon army, actually turned into an empty land in a silent way, was attacked? Or is it because of something else?
"Where have you all been?"
Ysera's breathing was a little shorter, and she subconsciously looked at the five dragon holy places around the Dragon Sleep Temple, which belonged to the five dragon legions, and there should be guards stationed on weekdays, but at this time, in the green dragon's field of vision, there was nothing there.
"What the hell is here... What's going on? ”
Ysera searched left and right, but couldn't see any traces left, and finally, she decided to make a trip to the Nexus of the Northern Tundra, where the Blue Dragon Legion was home and the closest dragon habitat to the Temple of Dragonsleep, where the mighty King of Magic, Malygos, stood by and she had to figure out what was going on in the Temple of Dragonsleep.
However, at the moment when Ysera turned around to turn into a dragon and fly away, a slightly scorching energy fluctuation appeared behind her, and Ysera turned her head sharply, and saw that on the throne where the snow had accumulated, there was already a meticulous human wearing a black dress and gray hair but combing, it was an elegant middle-aged man, like a nobleman, he easily leaned on the throne of the red dragon queen, and held a glass of wine in his hand.
That's not the point, the point is that around that human being, wearing only a light red veil, almost naked. The Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa was standing there, her body obviously restrained by some kind of force, and she could only use her eyes to signal Ysera to flee quickly.
And when Isera turned around, the man put the wine glass to his lips and drank the wine, while his left hand with the black stone ring was the presumptuous landlord of the perfect warm body of the Red Dragon Queen, and placed the beauty in his arms, and he caressed Alexstaza's perfect cheek in a very intimate and ambiguous gesture, and the two looked like real lovers.
But on the perfect face of the Red Dragon Queen, there was no happy smile at all, instead of anger, horror, pain... And, despair.
"Ysera, my sister... We already have... Well, let me think about it, haven't seen each other in about 10,000 years? ”
With a gentle, harmless smile on his face, the human beckoned to Ysera:
"Come, come to me, let me be good... Look at you. ”
Hearing the familiar and unfamiliar tone, Ysera subconsciously took a step back, she raised her fist, and looked at the human in front of her vigilantly, after a few seconds, Sera gasped, and she whispered:
"You... When did you come back? Is everything here from your handiwork? ”
"Answer me! Nesario... Deathwing! ”
