Fallen, is the term the nerubians use for traitors who remain loyal to Yogg-Saron.

After experiencing the civil strife that led to the destruction of the Ankahet Kingdom, the underground civilization established by the Nerubians was divided into two opposing forces.

The upper level is Azronelub who has completely cut off the connection with the ancient gods and embraced the new world wholeheartedly.

The lower layer is the old and the young who have been completely eroded by Yogg-Saron. These Nerubians have been infused with a lot of power of the void, and their life forms have undergone strange changes under the influence of the power of the void.

"In appearance, these fallen people are not much different from the people of Azjonelub, except that their skin is darker."

With her left hand, Onyxia pulled out the Blade of the Dark Empire from its scabbard and held it in her hand. A dark purple gleam was shining on the pitch-black blade.

"Actually, the internal structure of these bugmen is quite different from that of the Azronelub."

Sharlayan asked thoughtfully: "What is the specific situation?"

"Hmm..." Onyxia lowered her head and straightened her words: "If I have to say it, I don't even know these... things are still living things."

"Apart from still wearing the skin of the Nerubians, they no longer have any internal organs in their bodies. What replaces the internal organs to maintain the body's operation is the impure power of the void."

"simply put."

Onyxia pointed at the Fallen who were rushing towards the line of defense with the tip of the Dark Empire Blade.

"These things are not so much intelligent creatures, but rather pure energy objects made of energy from the void... very wonderful existence."

Azronelub's soldiers also use the power of the void, also known as the power of shadow, after all, they were once a branch of the faction of the old gods.

As far as Sharlayan observed in this local battlefield, the Azronelub used the power of the void in a relatively restrained way.

As descendants of the Dark Empire, the Nerubians are well aware of the harm to the body caused by the power of the void entering the body. They did not inhale the power of the void and circulate it in their bodies, but used some special medium to gather the power of the void outside and release it. spell.

The spellcasters of Azronelub all have their own staffs. These staffs have various shapes, but the only thing they have in common is the deep purple gemstone inlaid on the head of the staff.

Under Sharlayan's gaze, an Azronerub spellcaster chanted a spell for a short time, gathering a large amount of void power near the crystal on the head of the staff, and then swaying them all at once, forming a A variant of the soul scream ability.

The conventional soul scream needs to be released through itself, and the magic unit built in the body can be released through the real scream.

That's what Onyxia has always done.

Aizhunirub has improved many shadow spells, including Soul Scream, so that they can be released outside the body with a special staff, so as to avoid the highly corrosive void force from hurting itself.

Why is Onyxia not afraid of corruption?

If other people also have the perverted physical strength of the black dragon, they can also ignore the backlash of the power of the void and use spells at will.

According to the information that Onyxia extorted from Xalatas, the first owner of the Blade of the Dark Empire, the troll witch doctor, Zandu, used the power of the void into his body recklessly.

As a result, his body suffered tremendous damage, and even with the troll's self-healing ability, he couldn't avoid these permanent backlashes.

Xal'atath learned about the fragility of mortals for the first time through the tragedy of Zandu. After accumulating experience from several unknown users, Xalatath had already summed up a set of A safe and reliable way to use the power of the void.

In principle, the method that Xalatas came up with was similar to that of the Azronelub. They both used weapons as the medium of casting spells to prevent the power of the void from invading the body.

This tricky way of manipulating the power of the void was carried forward in the hands of the previous owner of Xalatas. She was the former bishop of the Holy Light Church and later the shadow bishop Natalie Serling.

Since she was from the Church of the Holy Light, when Natalie Serling accidentally obtained the Blade of the Dark Empire, she already possessed a powerful power of the Holy Light.

After a period of research, under the inspiration of Xal'atath, Natalie Serling thought of another way to suppress the side effects of the power of the void.

She uses the priest's way of discipline to reconcile the conflict between the holy light and the shadow, so as to achieve the balanced coexistence of the holy light and the shadow in the human body.

Natalie Serling taught her apprentices the way of reconciling light and shadow. She thought she had found the truth of the universe, and she has been obsessed with the study of light and shadow ever since.

Natalie Serling is determined, no matter how bewitched by Xalatas, she always sticks to her beliefs, which makes Xalatas who likes to watch fun feel very boring.

Unfortunately, Natalie's apprentices are not as determined as she is.

In the end, under the instigation of Xalatas, Natalie's apprentices joined forces to murder their mentor and take the Dark Empire Blade as their own in order to use and study the powerful shadow power more unscrupulously.

However, when these ecstatic teacher-killing villains woke up from their frenzy, Xal'atath had long since disappeared, and it began to search for the next interesting "master" worthy of itself.

Then... this guy unfortunately fell into the hands of Azadas. The remnant soul and power of the ancient gods were sealed in a corner of the Dark Empire Blade by the power of the earth. Onyxia would only look for it when she was bored Chat a few words.

Onyxia doesn't know the power of the Holy Light, and doesn't plan to learn it as well.

Her own physical fitness can fully withstand the backlash of using the power of the void, and she doesn't need to rack her brains to reduce the side effects like ordinary people.

Compared with the Azjonelub who use a medium to cast spells outside the body, the Fallen use the power of the void in a more crude and crude way.

To put it more simply, they directly extract and use the power of the void in their bodies, and their casting speed and power are much stronger than those of Azronelub.

It wasn't these spellcasters that caused the Azronelub defenders the most headaches, but the melee fallen with knives and swords.

These melee units with blade-like forelimbs will have the power of the void added to their attacks.

Once injured by them, the power of the void will erode the injured person's body like tarsal maggots.

If these highly corrosive forces cannot be removed in time, sooner or later the injured soldiers will be tormented madly by the force of the void spreading into their bodies, until they completely lose their self-awareness.

In view of this, Azronelub's logistics department equipped the warriors stationed on the border with sturdy special armor and shields, in order to block the corrosive attacks of those melee Corrupted.

Sharlayan watched the battle between the two with great interest: "Civilization and barbarism... Interesting."

Aizhuo Nerub is the orthodox successor of the Nerub civilization. When developing and improving the safe use of the power of the void, they did not forget to continue to climb the technology and take the route of dual cultivation of both physical and demonic things.

Frontier soldiers all use special armor and shields that are highly resistant to the power of the void, ensuring that they will not be restrained when fighting the Fallen.

After observing for a while, Valeera can basically confirm that there is no fake fight between the Azronelub and the Fallen.

"Sharlayan, what are we going to do next? Join the fight and help them?"

"Hmm..." Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "No, let's go around the battlefield and go deep into Ankahet to investigate the situation of the Fallen."

"what?"

Stellagosa asked puzzledly: "Why did you take the risk to go deep into Ankhet? Just the pictures you see here are enough to prove the innocence of Ai Zhuo Nilubu?"

Sharlayan shook his head: "Going deep into Ankahet is not because I still doubt Azronelub, but because I have another purpose."

"The underground world has always been a blind area of ​​the surface kingdom, and we lack sufficient understanding of Yogg-Saron's penetration underground."

Sharlayan said firmly: "I plan to sneak into Ankahet with only a small number of the most elite Fal'dorei scouts~lightnovelpub.net~ to investigate in detail the extent of Yogg-Saron's penetration into the underground world, so as to pave the way for future possibilities. Prepare in advance for the great war that takes place underground."

Valeera frowned and asked: "Do you suspect that Yogg-Saron intends to use the underground world as a breakthrough?"

Sharlayan nodded: "Because of the existence of New Sandara, the Grizzly Throated Furbolg and Dakarai trolls have raised their vigilance against the Iron Legion. The progress of Loken's penetration of Northrend is obviously lower than expected. Impatient Yogg-Saron is thinking of other possibilities."

"Ner'zhul, that pig-headed trio, knows how to avoid the focus of attention and find breakthroughs underground. I don't think the old and cunning Yogg-Saron can't think of the same method."

Stellagosa: "But didn't you say that you would reinforce Azronelub? If you were not there, how would you command the high elf army that rushed over?"

"So..." Sharlayan smiled and pointed to Valeera and Stellagosa: "This is your task."

"I plan to take Oni and Siesta to go deep into Ankahet together. The two of you will stay as my representatives to hand over the Sandara army, and the command will be handed over to the commanders of your respective troops."

"…what?"
