Upwind trails.

As a gateway between the quiet and dark twilight forest and the reed-covered sad swamp, the Downwind Trail is clearly the so-called choke point.

Unlike the Hereafter.

If you had to find something in the upwind trails of the afterlife, there would be only the wandering undead and the simple-minded and well-limbed upwind ogres in addition to the barren dirt, and only they could thrive in this dead land.

Today's upwind trail is far less bleak than it was in later generations, on the contrary, it is still a valley of birds and flowers. Karazan, with its strange blue arcane energy ripples, is located just south of the upwind trail.

Surrounded by mountains, the huge, towering minarets remain the focal point of anyone's attention.

Karazan was very tall, and before Duke crossed, it was at least twenty stories tall.

Because the slender and sharp mage tower is so tall, there are a total of six cylindrical secondary towers around the mage tower in a hexagonal shape.

They are the so-called flying buttresses.

Flying buttresses, also known as buttresses, are ancillary facilities used to share the pressure on the main wall, and are somewhat similar in use to the Gothic architecture before the Duke crossing. They expose the buttresses that were originally solid and covered by the roof, which are called flying buttresses.

The secondary tower of Karazhan uses a double-entry arch bridge to increase the bearing capacity of the flying buttresses. And minarets were added to the flying buttresses to improve the balance.

In addition to making the Karazan Mage Tower even higher, it is also carved with intricate carvings, which not only make the Mage Tower look lighter and more beautiful, but also have powerful defensive and counterattack capabilities. As long as Lakazan's master, Medivan, wants it, even if the whole dragon clan is killed, he can teach the dragon clan to be a human in minutes.

It was such a mage tower that gave Sargeras supreme confidence.

At the top of the mage Takarazan, Mediven, possessed by Sargeras, sits on a throne created by the materialization of arcane energy, with a playful expression.

"It's a pity that most of my strength can't enter this world...... Well, it doesn't matter. It's fun to be close to the strength. It is this process of repeated torture that 'can give hope to the ants and disillusion them again' that is worth savoring later. ”

Medivan raised his hand slightly, and in a crimson crystal prism, a young soul was lonely and helpless "bang, bang!"

Khadgar - Maddivan's former and only student.

Unexpectedly, Khadgar is dead, and his soul is actually imprisoned here.

"Mentor, Mentor, wake up!" Khadgar roared.

"Sober?" a playful smile appeared at the corner of Medivan's mouth, "Idiot, I've always been sober." Let me tell you something. I found out early on that you were a spy sent by the Council of Tirisfa, and that I made the decision that influenced Medivan's will to approve of you and accept you as a disciple. ”

Khadgar's face turned white for a moment.

"Why did I accept you? Do you think it's loneliness? Wrong! That's because it's boring. I didn't have much to do in the days when it was eroding Medivan's soul, so I was just looking for something to do. ”

“......”

"Originally, in my script, when the time is right, I will let you go back to Stormwind, and then say that Lothar or Wryn will personally lead the troops, and in this Karazhan, three friends who have known each other for many years, will have the most tragic and cruel fight. Do you know why I changed my mind?" Sargeras lightly scorched Khadgar with a pinch of soul flame.

Khadgar, who existed in the form of a humanoid soul, had a face of pain and bewilderment.

"You're so boring, I wasn't surprised at all. The little guy named Duke was different. He's not only talented, he's full of possibilities. He surprised and delighted me. That's why I chose him to assist Lothar or Urian as my challenger, not you. Hahahaha!"

Ignoring Khadgar's confusion and decadence, Sargeras flung it lightly, and casually threw the crystal that imprisoned Khadgar's soul to which corner.

Gently tapping his forehead, Medivan, controlled by Sargeras, used his [Mage Eye] to watch the changes inside Karazhin.

Karazhan, once full of books and mysteries, is becoming evil and ghostly. The servants who served Medivan and many others who tried to find out what was really going on in Karazhan. They had Lothar's elite spies, mercenaries, and even nobles.

They gathered in the lower hall inside the Karazan Mage Tower, looking dazed. Under the influence of the evil demonic power, their bodies are undergoing some strange changes......

In Stormwind City's Stormwind Fortress, on a terrace facing the barracks, King Ryan's face was full of hesitation and pain. Anyone who saw Ryan's handsome face would think that Ryan was almost crying.

Blonde hair, lost the brilliance of self-confidence. In its place was a dullness bordering on remorse.

The queen walked softly and took Ryan's arm.

"Honey, didn't you tell me. Instead of doing nothing and regretting it, why don't you regret it after doing it?"

Ryan's voice choked: "But...... But that could well be the legendary Demon King Sargeras!!"

"Is Sargeras invincible, has Sargeras never failed?" said the queen.

Suddenly I remembered the legendary war 10,000 years ago, although 10,000 years is definitely too far away for a short-lived human being, but there are still many living fossils called elves that have survived for 10,000 years.

Many of the Night Elves and High Elves are now witnesses of the past.

Ryan suddenly felt much better: "Indeed, Sargeras was defeated before. ”

The queen was categorical: "Since he can be defeated once, he can be defeated a second time." ”

"But Anduin ......," Ryan wanted to continue, but he met the queen's bright, hopeful eyes. It was as if she was reminding him to remember the scenes that had happened before.

That's right!

Just after Sargeras's will receded. Anduin and Duke join forces to admonish!

"Your Majesty! We have no way out! Do we not resist and be slowly tortured to death, or fight to the death!? Choose! Your Majesty—" Duke almost roared.

"But if the rebellion fails, the people of the Stormwind Kingdom ......"

Bolval also came to his senses, took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and his resolute voice shook people's hearts: "Your Majesty - even after resisting it still brings destruction. Then we can at least tell the people without remorse, 'We did our best!' before we step into the gates of hell, instead of hiding under the bed like a coward and shivering and becoming the talk of the devil's teasing!"
