Chapter 1187: News of Nepturon
The harbor of Fort Rapids was bustling with people, and countless people gathered in the harbor to watch the churning waves in the sea, speculating about what was going on there.
This is what Leo and Scarlett see when they return to Riptide Castle.
What's going on at the port, could it be that Naga wants to be bad for Riptide Castle? If that's the case, why didn't the crocodile people who were stocked in the sea give any warning?
Suspicious, Leo came to the port, and as soon as he approached, the churning sea burst out of a deep blue, and headed towards Leo at lightning speed.
Seeing this change, the faces of the soldiers who maintained order in the port changed greatly, and someone dared to attack Prince Arasuo in Fort Rapids, is this okay?
"Protect His Royal Highness!"
The soldiers' shouts rushed towards Leo, but their movements were too slow, the speed of the dark blue was extremely fast, and before the soldiers could make a move, they had already come to Leo. The latter was calm, and his right hand reached out slightly, grasping the dark blue in his hand.
With Leo's strength, even if a surprise attack can succeed several times, there are only a few people in the whole world, and this must be when Leo is defenseless, how does the situation in the port look like it.
Caught by Leo, the dark blue color conjured into a mist that only Leo could understand, as if it was sending him some message.
A flash of surprise flashed in Leo's eyes, and he waved his hand at the soldiers who gathered around, signaling that they didn't need to panic.
"I'm fine, don't panic." With that, Leo walked towards the palace in Riptide Castle, "The ship can go to sea normally, you maintain order in the harbor, I don't want to make any trouble." β
The soldiers respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness." β
Leo's departure has put an end to the matter, and today may be a new topic in Riptide Castle, but for most people, it's important to finish the job at hand, earn their wages, and fill their poor bellies before they have a leisurely relationship.
Scarlett, the palace in Riptide Castle, was talking to Varianjeon and other Alliance leaders, which was why she didn't follow Leo to the port, how could so many Alliance leaders arrive without receiving them?
Seeing Leo return, Scarlett asked the doubts in everyone's hearts: "What happened?" β
The dark blue that shot out of the sea was long gone, but the information it brought was all in Leo's mind, and when he heard Scarlett's question, Leo didn't sell it, and he said the message brought by the dark blue in the shortest words: "In the deep sea world, the water elemental has started a war with Naga, and the tide hunter Nepturon has chosen us in this war, and Naga has become the new partner of the Elder God." Neptulon's followers are at war with Azhara's men, and it seems that Naga wants to replace the water elemental and become the new overlord of the deep sea. β
Isn't the water elemental lord Nepturon a subordinate of the Elder God, doesn't he do things according to the orders of the Elder God, as the tide hunter of the four major elemental lords, the water elemental lord will rebel against the Elder God, how do they hear it and feel like a fantasy.
There was no need for Leo to joke with them with such important news, so after the initial shock, everyone chose to believe it.
"It's great that we don't have to worry about the threat from the sea for the time being, and we can focus on Deathwing and Twilight's hammer until the water elemental and Naga are decided."
Varian and Jean were thrilled that the capitals of the Stormwind Kingdom and the Kyrgyz Kingdom were by the sea, and if the Naga were to spare their hands, they would have to leave enough forces in the royal city, so that the forces that could be mobilized by the two countries would be greatly limited. In fact, it's not just Stormwind Kingdom and Gilneis, isn't it the same with Arathus?
Although everyone here did not know what kind of madness the tide hunter Neptulon had turned his back on the Elder Gods and chose to ally with the mortal race, everyone knew how crucial Neptulon was to ally with them, and how much the tide hunter and his water elementals helped them in this side.
Kael'thas, who came to Riptide Castle from the Temple of Dragon's Sleep with Varian and the others, was also very excited to hear the news, Naga's war with the water elemental could not be ended in a moment, and he didn't have to worry about the threat from the underwater world in a short period of time, giving him and Leo plenty of time for their undersea plans.
No one knows the strength of their own people better than the upper elves who were Azhara's attendants, and no one knows better than the upper elves who were Azhara's attendants, how terrifying Eshara is in the light, and if he could, Kael'thas would rather never fight this woman for the rest of his life.
As the queen of the elves, the first mortal touched by the moon god Elune, after abandoning her belief in Elune, Aishshara can still live to this day, and you can understand her strength if you think about it a little.
"That's great news."
An alliance with Nepturon is beneficial to everyone, whether it is humans, blood elves, dwarves, or gnomes, they are all land creatures, and everyone is terrified of being the enemy of the sea. Leo knew that it wouldn't be long before the Stone Mother Therazanne would turn his back on the Elder Gods and choose to side with the mortal race, but it was not yet time to say it.
"According to the news from Nepturon, not long ago, the water element under his command found that the fire element was abnormally active somewhere on the seabed, which seemed to be a sign of an undersea volcanic eruption, so he sent someone to check it. Unexpectedly, Naga ambushed them and launched a full-scale invasion of the water elemental's territory, which ignited the war between the two. β
Leo said the cause of the incident, as for why Nepturon chose to ally with the mortal race, Nepturon did not say, Leo is not clear about this question for the time being, and will ask again when he has the opportunity to ask later.
If the Stonemother Therazane's betrayal was due to Deathwing's destruction of her territory, then why did Nepturon betray the Elder Gods?
Is it as simple as his men having a war with the Naga and the Elder Gods choosing to ally themselves with the Naga?
Leo thought it was impossible.
The Four Elemental Lords were the old subordinates of the Elder God, and it was impossible for them to betray the Elder God without a special reason, and this was by no means a temporary idea on Nepturon's brain.
"There are volcanoes under the sea, too?"
Magni's voice reached everyone's ears, and the dwarven king looked surprised, as if he had discovered something new.
Leo asked rhetorically, "Why can't there be a volcano at the bottom of the sea?" β
Yes, why can't there be a volcano at the bottom of the sea?
Magni was stumped by the question, and to be honest, he hadn't really thought about whether there was a volcano under the sea. Don't look at the sea full of water and think that there can be no volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, and there is no world law that stipulates that there can be no volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, and volcanoes at the bottom of the sea cannot erupt.
"I haven't been to the deep sea world, let alone planted a sentry there, how do I know if there is a volcano."
Magni muttered unwillingly, the dwarf felt that his voice was so small that no one could hear him except himself, and he didn't want to think about how small the dwarf's voice could be.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Magni's careless words reminded Leo and made him ponder.
"Could that be the case...... Well, it's really possible......"
Leo who was deep in thought was talking to himself, seeing her appearance, the other people in the hall unconsciously stopped talking, and Leo, who had recovered from his contemplation, saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
Without explaining his strange behavior, Leo asked the people in the temple, "King Magni reminded me just now, we have sent a large number of sentinels to find out the location of the Storm Fortress, have you found out what has happened?" β
During the great battle of the Void Storm, Passaren, the Calculator who had defected to the Burning Legion, used the Storm Fortress to break through the spatial barrier and rush into the world with the fortress. A Passaren is nothing, the point is that there is also a demonic legion portal inside the Storm Fortress.
No one answered, but Leo already knew the answerβhe didn't find it.
Coalition spies searched every inch of land, including tribal territory, but still found nothing.
It stands to reason that with the size of the Storm Fortress, the appearance of this city-like fortress will attract the attention of many people even if it is a desolate land, but it has no news at all, which can't help but make people wonder.
"Why should we conclude that Passarena and Storm Fortress will fall on land?" Leo broke the silence, "This ocean is much larger than the land, so why wouldn't the Storm Fortress fall into the Endless Sea?" β
Habitual thinking is a strange thing, if you can't get out of this strange circle, genius will also be played by an ordinary person.
As the so-called one leaf obstructs the eyes, I don't see Mount Tai. Everyone is accustomed to wars on land, and the first thing they think of when they encounter problems is to solve them on land, which restricts the direction of their thinking from the beginning.
As Leo asks, why does Stormkeep have to fall on land, and why doesn't it fall into the Endless Sea?
Falling a giant fortress on land will never be hidden from others, but falling into the sea is different, and with the inclusiveness and vastness of the sea, it is really unnoticeable to fall into the storm.
Unlike other fortress cities, which fall into the sea, they will end up drowning, but Storm Fortress has a protective shield. Imagine, being able to take root in the Void Storm, to be able to shuttle through the Endless Void, and to ignore the turbulence of space, such a storm fortress can't stop the seawater?
It's a joke.
"Storm Fortress will be hard to find if it falls into the Endless Sea."
Everyone was helpless, and they agreed with Leo's guess, every inch of land was searched, but there was still no trace of the Storm Fortress, which must have fallen into the Endless Sea. Although everyone had the intention to exterminate Passaren and destroy the demonic legion portal, how could the deep sea not be their territory, they could only sigh and cry out in vain.
It's just hard to find that, it's a little easier to do, I'm afraid I'm afraid that this is not the case.
Leo was secretly worried, hoping it wasn't the worst.
