After the disbandment of the Ten-Man Squad, Chromie returned to the inn in Minas Tirith Two years ago, she booked a long-term room here to observe Galen's forces for an extended period.
It's just unknown why she never directly revealed her identity to Galen or led the Bronze Dragon Legion to investigate Galen.
Today, Chromie appeared in the mountains south of Minas Tirith, in the mountain range near the Sador Strait.
"Come out, Anachronos!" Chromie shouted, looking at the open space in front of her.
"Oh, damn it! Chromie, what have you done on this timeline? Why are the Infinite Dragons so frantically trying to get to the Dark Portal two years early!" A bronze dragon appeared in the open space, a deep scar on his neck, indicating he had suffered a serious injury.
Because that is the turning point where this timeline changes, Chromie silently said in her heart. During this time, she had investigated and found that it was two years before the opening of the Dark Portal that the Prince of Stromgarde left the palace he had been holed up in for more than a decade.
Of course, she wouldn't tell Anachronos, the eldest son of the Bronze Dragon Aspect, these things. It was related to one of Chromie's experiments.
"What's wrong? Is our powerful Bronze Dragon Prince scared by the Infinite Dragons?" Chromie teased.
The duty of the Bronze Dragons is to maintain the stability of the timeline, preventing anyone from traveling through time and altering history. Their most common enemies in the cracks of time are the Infinite Dragons, who can also travel through time.
The Infinite Dragons are the opposite of the Bronze Dragons. They try to disrupt the normal flow of time, starting with major historical events to destroy them, in order to lead the world to a different future. Their ultimate goal is to achieve the Hour of Twilight, allowing the world to meet its end under the destruction of Deathwing.
Chromie's words made the Bronze Dragon Prince a little unhappy. He roared angrily, "Chromie! Watch your words! I am the leader of the Shifting Sands!"
"You should watch your words, Anachronos. Although I'm only a thousand years older than you, I'm still your elder. If you're rude to me, be careful I'll stand with Soridormi and make things difficult for you!"
The small threat made the Bronze Dragon Prince speechless. Their Dragon Aspect was constantly traveling in the timeline, rarely seen. Therefore, the entire management of the Bronze Dragon Legion was entrusted to his consort and children.
The Bronze Dragons are an egalitarian society. Each dragon strives to do their part and only supports and respects one person, Dragon Aspect Nozdormu.
But without the Dragon Aspect at the helm, the Prince and the Dragon Mother had some disagreements. Chromie belonged to the neutral faction, the kind of model dragon who silently did her job.
"I was wrong, Auntie Chro~mie!" Anachronos showed his flexibility and admitted defeat.
"Alright, I called you to ask you, a few days ago, Neltharion appeared in the Eastern Kingdoms and fought with the other three Dragon Aspects. Has our Nozdormu not appeared?" Chromie asked with a serious expression.
The name of the Black Dragon Aspect startled the Bronze Dragon Prince, and then his expression also became serious: "No, Father's last appearance was a hundred years ago! I have been preventing the Infinite Dragons from going back a few decades. What was the result of the Dragon Aspects' battle?"
"Neltharion was defeated by the Dragon Aspects, but he also escaped in the end!" Chromie got the information she wanted and relaxed.
"Phew!"
The Prince breathed a sigh of relief. The Black Dragon Aspect put too much pressure on the members of the major dragonflights. His reputation was built on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of the Blue Dragonflight.
"Anything else? Chromie, if not, I need to return to the Caverns of Time to recuperate for a while." The Prince touched the wound on his neck, wincing in pain.
"After you recover, I need you to help me continue to observe the timeline eighteen years before this period. We must not let them come to the Eastern Kingdoms!" Chromie solemnly requested.
"No problem, I will fulfill my duty even without you saying it." The Bronze Dragon Prince nodded and agreed. Of course, he was also curious about why Chromie had narrowed down the time to these past ten years.
After all, he couldn't travel through time at will. He didn't know what would happen in the future. The Bronze Dragons' ability to travel through time depended on talent. The most powerful in the entire clan was Dragon Aspect Nozdormu, and Chromie was recognized as the second most powerful. Only these two could travel alone into the past and future.
The timeline was also notoriously dangerous. If you were not careful, you would get lost in it and never return. Therefore, other Bronze Dragons would only use the magic of the adult dragons of the Scale of the Shifting Sands to travel through time after a major spacetime event occurred.
It could be said that in the time period when Nozdormu did not appear, Chromie single-handedly contained Galen's reckless behavior of changing history.
"I don't think Galen is tampering with history. For this world, he is creating history!" Chromie thought like this after seeing many timelines heading towards destruction after discovering Galen!
Galen didn't know that a little gnome had been carrying the weight for him all along, but now he wasn't afraid of the Bronze Dragons investigating him anymore. First of all, his strength had increased. Although his usual strength was only at the mid-Legendary level, he could reach the demigod realm after spending money. Even the dragonflight had to give him some respect at this level of strength.
Second, in the Battle of Grim Batol, they and Neltharion were almost fighting to the death, but the Bronze Dragon Aspect was nowhere to be seen. This situation had also occurred ten thousand years ago when the various Dragon Aspects injected their guardian power into the Dragon Soul. In the end, his consort helped him inject the power of time.
This was a default approval!
Galen expressed his joy!
So he happily inspected his Level 4 Royal City in Minas Tirith, and took the opportunity to avoid Sylvanas and Alleria's questioning.
First of all, there were several new technologies unlocked, including the Lightforged Warrior that Galen had been waiting for.
Similar warriors would also appear in Azeroth in the future, namely the Lightforged Draenei. These were Draenei who, through a special ritual, infused the essence of the Holy Light into their bodies, becoming Lightforged.
Galen originally thought that Lightforged Warriors were directly trained units, but after returning from the battle with the Black Dragon Aspect, he realized that Lightforged Warrior was a skill, a conversion skill.
Lightforged Warrior:
Transform powerful creatures into warriors of the Holy Light, allowing them to contain the essence of the Holy Light within their bodies, using the Holy Light to fight. Can learn Holy Resistance, Holy Light Adjudicator, and Holy Light Reckoning.
Although he didn't get the new unit he expected, Galen had many crazy ideas in his mind!
