Chapter 134: Searching
Frankly speaking, these monster clones that suddenly appeared on the battlefield of the Ice Pass were actually unable to stop the attack of the swarm at all.
There are so few of them that a single hell portal simply can't meet the teleportation needs of a large number of monster troops.
However, these monster clones were still mixed with a large number of demon overseers, and these guys quickly took over the command of the legendary evil pacters, and began to organize their demon projections and a small number of elite clones to fight against the swarm in an orderly manner.
Of course, the initiative on the battlefield is still in the hands of the swarms, and the tactical command ability of the worm mothers will only be stronger than that of the demon overseers.
But the presence of these demon overseers did slow down the attack of the swarm and the human legion, and both Zagala and Xue Hua quickly realized that these guys were really only used to stall for time.
After noticing this, the anxiety in Xue Hua's heart intensified, he was almost certain that now Baal was on his way to imprison Anya's prison!
"Isha, haven't you found it yet?"
"Juggernaut, the target unit you designated to search for is obscured by some special force, and the Monitor King Worm can only determine that she is indeed in this underground space, but cannot determine her exact location."
Isha's answer made Xue Hua frown, obviously after so many battles, the Seven Demon Lords of Hell had been fully prepared for the intelligence gathering and detection capabilities of the swarm.
This is true of the green smoke in the underground glacier, and now the prison where Anya is imprisoned.
He scratched his head, recalling in his mind the details of the mission "Ice Prisoner" in Act 5 of the previous game, trying to find clues to Anya's location.
In the previous game, Anya was supposed to be trapped in the lower level of the Crystal Passage after being captured by Nilasek.
That's the real passage to the Ancient Glacier, and the swarm is now attacking just a rift connecting the glacier from the frozen highlands.
It is called the "Crystal Passage" by the barbarians, and the walls are covered with ice crystals because of the seepage of glacial water, and walking in it is like walking on a road paved with crystal.
Although Xue Hua had checked with Clough, there were indeed two passages under the crystal passage leading to different forks of the glacier, one leading to a tributary of the glacier, and the other leading to the main glacier channel of the Arrett Plateau.
According to the in-game quest process, Anya is supposed to be trapped on an altar in the main tunnel of the glacier, bound by frozen magic.
But he is not sure whether the real Anya will still be imprisoned there, after all, this world is very different from the game in the previous life so far.
Just like this mission, players in the game need to take medicine from Grandma Marat in Harogas if they want to rescue Anya, but in reality, Xue Hua only needs to find Anya, and the swarm has thousands of ways to free her from the ice prison unharmed.
He thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't find any other way than the clue in his memory, so he gritted his teeth and became a live horse doctor.
"Isha, let the swarm that invaded the cave send a part of the shadow worm and cockroach troops to dig under this passage, and report to me as soon as they dig through."
"Understood, Juggernaut."
"Zagara, continue to intensify the offensive and send an elite team to try and take out those Demon Overseers, we need to be faster!"
"As you wish, Juggernaut."
The two high-ranking commanders of the Zerg replied, and then immediately went to carry out Xue Hua's order.
At the same time, far to the east of the frozen highlands and bloody hills, in the city of Harlogas, Chasi's investigation back inside the city had already reached some conclusions.
As it turned out, Xue Hua's words were as accurate as the prophecy, and Chasi soon found traces of necromantic magic in Anya's hut.
And in Harlogas, all the professional necromancers have been assembled into Mercas's professional legion, and if it were just ordinary necromancers, there should be no way to take Anya away from the city so quietly.
Although Chasi left the tribe a long time ago, she is also very knowledgeable about the history of the tribe.
She knew that there was only one Elder who had ever been exposed to necromancy, and that was Niracek, who had traveled to the wetlands of the Eastern Continent as a young man.
Niracek had never performed an inauguration ceremony in the clan, and those who knew him well knew that he was a skilled necromancer and a powerful necromancer.
Now that there are such strong traces of necromancy in Anyah's hut, the identity of the attacker has basically been revealed.
Chasi then rushed to the Council of Elders, and sure enough, he found that Nirasek, who was supposed to be in charge of the Council of Elders during the departure of the Great Chief, had disappeared without a trace.
She asked around the tribe, but no one had seen Nirasek - he hadn't been seen since Anya's accident.
At this point, Nilasek's suspicion rose to the top, and Chasi knew that all the elders in the Council of Elders had a separate and secret temple.
At this moment, Nirasek is likely to be hiding in his temple with Anya!
Chasi searched through Niracek's dwelling in the Presbyterian Church to find out exactly where his temple was, but was unable to find anything.
This is also normal, the shrines of the elders are all hidden abodes for their own meditation and refinement, where can they be casually let people know?
Even a great leader must not investigate and question an elder's temple without conclusive evidence.
However, it is very likely that Anya knows where the temple of Niracek is.
She was very likable when she was a child, and many elders had taken her to their temples to visit.
This includes Niracek.
But the problem is that it's useless for Anya to know, the first priority now is to rescue Anya, and she is probably the only person in the tribe who knows the exact location of the trapped place.
It's a dead knot, and there's no way to get it out.
Feeling that her brain was not enough, Chasi simply left Harogas overnight with the evidence she found, and she ordered the head of the Great Chief's guard, the same barbarian mercenary that Xue Hua and Kane had met, to spy on Nirasek, and also brought the old man Kane with him to the "kidnapping".
Niracek has the security to freely infiltrate and exit Harogas, which means that the city is no longer safe at this point.
Kane, as another existing heavyweight in the city, Chasi is really afraid that this old man will be kidnapped by that traitor again.
Then they really have no shame in facing the council.
