Following Alleria's words, Galen looked at the black dragon named Sabellian's back.
On his back, near his hind legs, was a bloody wound, so large and deep that bone was visible, and upon closer inspection, a section of his spine was missing!
Hiss!
Has Deathwing gone mad? He dug out a section of his own son, Sabellian, the legion's adjutant's spine, and attached it to his own body?
Galen could only guess that the serious injury had caused Neltharion to lose his mind, and the corruption of the Old Gods, which had been weakened by being far away from Azeroth, was strengthened again, becoming mad and unrecognizable to his own kin.
Perhaps Neltharion could still find a way to recover from his injuries upon returning to Azeroth, or if that didn't work, he could hide for ten or eight years and then come out to stir up trouble again.
However, the Dark Portal on Draenor has been destroyed, and unless Azeroth actively opens it, projecting the other side of the Dark Portal onto Draenor again, Deathwing will be trapped on this small planet.
But Sabellian was also unlucky. Among the members of the Black Dragonflight that Neltharion brought over, he was the strongest, and in the entire Black Dragonflight, apart from the Black Dragon King Neltharion and the missing Dragon Queen Sinestra, he could even rank third, even stronger than the homebody Nefarian.
Strong, and a biological son, with less rejection of his bones, so Neltharion chose to dig out his bones to replace his own.
This poor fellow, it doesn't matter if your father doesn't want you, join the glorious family of the Golden Holy Dragon!
Galen came to Sabellian's head and said softly, "Friend, Nefarian sends his regards."
Sabellian's lifeless eyeballs moved slightly, and a weak whisper sounded: "My foolish brother? He must have betrayed the Black Dragonflight already. I thought the timing of his informing about Draenor was too coincidental!"
"Who are you? To be able to make Nefarian choose to betray, then you must have the ability to protect him, otherwise, with our fear of Father's power, we would only submit to his orders!"
After saying these two sentences, the Black Dragon Prince's head twitched twice, and Galen could see a lot of sweat seeping out of his scales, as if he had used all his strength.
"I am Galen, Lord of the Argent Crusade, Prince of Stromgarde! Not only Nefarian, but Onyxia has also joined my command. Are you interested in joining the glorious purification? Getting rid of the whispers of the Old Gods?"
Galen conveniently poured a bucket of Spring of Life into Sabellian's mouth, and his expression became much calmer.
"I lost a piece myself, I'm useless now!" The implication was that he had lost everything and had no value.
"Nefarian will help you. Now tell me, where is Deathwing?"
"He is in the cave ahead."
"Very good, take this scroll, and you can choose to activate it to leave here when the fight starts later, it will teleport you to my fortress, so as not to be killed by the aftermath of the battle. You better stay put when you get to the fortress, and don't think about running away!"
Galen threw out a teleportation scroll to Halaa, where Malygos was stationed, and an injured Black Dragon Prince could still be easily suppressed.
After giving out the teleportation scroll, Galen began to gather his men.
Several white lights flashed, and Nefarian, Onyxia, and Ptystas first arrived in humanoid form, followed by two Holy Light Naaru.
Nefarian conveniently threw a healing holy light at Sabellian, who would have thought that Sabellian's tears would flow from the pain, but with the holy light and the bucket of Spring of Life just now, the black dragon who had his bones dug out finally got rid of that half-dead state.
The last to arrive was Aegwynn, who was studying the Sky Fortress in Kalimdor.
However, as soon as the team was assembled, they heard a terrifying pressure and a huge roar from the front: "Who has trespassed into my territory! You are courting death!"
So many demigod-level combat powers suddenly appeared, directly alarming Deathwing, who was recuperating. He saw the mountain in front of Galen and the others split in the middle, followed by an explosion, accompanied by flying rubble all over the sky. Deathwing flapped his wings and soared into the sky, and then landed heavily.
After he landed, his two huge front paws grabbed two mountain peaks, one on the left and one on the right.
This condescending posture reminded Galen of a certain login interface, but the Stormwind city wall was replaced by two low mountain peaks, and the compulsion was reduced a lot.
At this time, Deathwing's eyes were full of madness, and he turned his huge iron jaw: "Let me see who it is?"
"Oh, look, it turns out to be the bereaved dog Paltystrasz, why don't you serve your queen in the Ruby Sanctum, but instead run to Draenor to die? It's really sad."
"And my two children, Nefarian and Onyxia, how, who gave you the courage to dare to betray me? I will skin you and pull out your bones, just like Sabellian!"
"Is it you? That humble and insignificant human, you pried open my armor last time, it's meaningless, I have recovered, you pathetic people will take your curtain call!"
Galen quietly waited for Deathwing to finish speaking, and silently summoned Gruul, who was still on the periphery, to come over as soon as possible. Their lineup was still missing a character to resist damage.
"Don't compare with him, the words he says are more and more chuuni, my goosebumps are all over the ground, act according to the plan later, Alleria, you and Nefarian, Aegwynn, you and Onyxia, me and Paltystrasz!"
After giving the mission, Paltystrasz, Onyxia and Nefarian immediately transformed into dragon forms, Alleria turned over and got on Nefarian's back, Aegwynn flashed and boarded Onyxia's back, Galen jumped and steadily stepped on the red dragon's back.
At this time, Deathwing's vertical pupils stared closely at Alleria on Nefarian's back!
When the female elf turned over just now, Deathwing noticed that a long strip of white bone ornament was exposed on her waist!
Familiar breath!
Galen brought the dragon bone obtained from Gruul back to Azeroth, and with the help of Aegwynn, he used the treasures of Karazhan to make this dragon spine medal.
It just so happened that Alleria asked to join the siege of Deathwing, in order not to make her a shortcoming in the siege personnel, Galen gave the dragon spine medal to Alleria to enhance her attack power.
Roar!
Deathwing went completely mad!
They actually!
Dare!
All must die!
Deathwing pounced on Nefarian. Even though this Lightforged Holy Light Dragon had gotten rid of his father's control, he was still afraid of the power of the Black Dragon King. With a flap of his wings, he directly took off and dodged Deathwing's pounce.
Deathwing chased after him and flew up. Seeing this, Galen and Aegwynn directly ordered the remaining two dragons to take off together.
The two Naaru were left in place!
Nefarian activated Holy Light Acceleration and circled in the air, with Deathwing chasing behind him, roaring furiously as he pursued.
After securing her position, Alleria held the Windrunner family heirloom, Thas'dorah, and fired a magical arrow backwards, striking Deathwing's brow, but to no effect.
As Galen had said, a physical arrow was required, Alleria thought, as she swiftly drew an arrow from the quiver on her back and fired again!
This arrow made Deathwing sense danger, and he swung his head, dodging the vital point on his head, but it hit the thickest part of his chest armor, bouncing off directly.
Deathwing chased after Nefarian, flapping his wings, each flap causing the ground to shake, followed by cracks appearing, the earth splitting open, and magma erupting.
Then, Deathwing took a deep breath, pointed his head at Nefarian's rear, and unleashed an ultra-long-range magma dragon breath!
The scorching dragon breath reddened the skies of Gorgrond, like the blazing sun shining high above.
Aegwynn followed behind, constantly attacking Deathwing with arcane magic. Aluneth enhanced Aegwynn's attacks. The armor plate at the end of Deathwing's tail connecting to his back had signs of repair panel beating, which was rough and obvious, and Aegwynn's target was precisely that armor plate.
Galen hadn't expected the Dragon Spine Trophy he gave Alleria to generate so much aggro, turning the original encirclement plan into a chase.
There was no choice but to change the plan.
Galen informed K'ure and D'ore to prepare the Holy Light Shackles formation, and then wait for Gruul to arrive.
The chase continued for another half an hour, and Galen received the signal that Gruul and the two Naaru were ready. By this time, the northern part of Gorgrond had been utterly devastated by Deathwing. The original habitat of the Blackrock clan had been shattered, and seawater had flooded the area, turning it into a swamp.
Galen told Nefarian to fly back. Nefarian breathed a sigh of relief. Being chased hundreds of kilometers by his father, baring his fangs and claws and spewing dragon breath, had put immense pressure on him. He had almost exhausted all the possibilities of Holy Light Acceleration.
Being caught would have been far more serious than Galen being chased around the village entrance with a stick by his old man in his previous life.
In the future, he might as well learn from Galen and write two books on the use of Holy Light: "On the Seamless Continuous Use of Holy Light Acceleration Under Potential Explosion."
Sabellian did not choose to leave with a Return Scroll immediately. He wanted to see the strength of the so-called Crusade. The appearance of so many demigods did indeed shock him. Even at the height of the Black Dragonflight, there were no more than a dozen black dragons with demigod strength!
Moreover, Nefarian and Onyxia's scales were golden, and their whole bodies were filled with the aura of Holy Light, without any sign of being corrupted by the Old Gods.
Even Sabellian himself, with demigod power, could not resist the corruption of the bloodline.
Moreover, he was a black dragon hatched before the War of the Ancients, unlike those dragon eggs hatched with the power of chaos that fell directly into corruption. However, as the adjutant of the Black Dragonflight, Deathwing's direct bloodline, the closer he stayed to his father, the more severely he would be corrupted by the Old Gods.
It seemed that Nefarian and Onyxia had gotten rid of this corruption. Sabellian's eyes sparkled. He saw hope and cheered up again.
Gruul hid behind a volcano and saw Nefarian's golden figure and Deathwing's massive body from afar.
Closer, closer!
Nefarian descended, dodging Deathwing's dragon breath again. Deathwing also chose to dive to close the distance.
While flying over a hilltop, in the dark corner, a huge black claw rotated rapidly and hooked Deathwing's right hind leg!
Deathwing's speed faltered!
Caught off guard, he fell to the ground, rolling twice. Gruul was also dragged a dozen meters by the inertia of the Black Dragon King's weight, plowing a deep gully in the ground.
Taking advantage of Deathwing's landing, Onyxia and Partathaz quickly landed, sandwiching his body from the left and right.
Compared to Deathwing's huge body, the two dragons were like small cars next to an Iveco van.
Although the size difference was huge, Onyxia and Partathaz still desperately controlled Deathwing's actions.
In the distance, Nefarian wagged his tail and turned around, quickly approaching his father.
Then, there was a close fight between the three dragons. Whenever a fatal blow was about to be struck by Deathwing, Onyxia used Divine Shield, next it was Nefarian's turn to attack, then Divine Shield, and finally Partathaz faced him head-on, with Galen helping him block the fatal attack with Divine Shield.
At this time, Gruul also recovered, climbed out of the gully, pulled the iron chain, and pulled out the hook lock launcher, directly inserting it into the ground. It felt like fixing a cow with an iron pestle when grazing.
Gruul ran quickly on his two short legs, then climbed onto Deathwing's back from his tail, and stabbed the edges of the damaged steel plate with his claws covered with fine steel claws, and lifted it up with force!
Clang!
The armor plate fell heavily to the ground.
Roar!
Deathwing roared in pain!
He hated it. Ever since Galen took the lead in pulling out the adamantium armor bolts, everyone knew that although he was powerful, he had such a weakness!
Deathwing tried to fight through the injury, turning his head to slap Gruul away.
"Now is the time! K'ure! D'ori, activate the Holy Light Imprisonment Formation!"
The ground around Deathwing lit up with runes, which emitted dazzling light after forming, then formed golden chains, firmly imprisoning Deathwing in place!
At this time, Aegwynn and Alleria accelerated their actions, quickly outputting!
Deathwing struggled violently, and cracks appeared in the golden chains. The two Naaru increased the output of Holy Light, and the cracks were instantly repaired!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Galen jumped directly from Partathaz's back to Deathwing's back.
On Deathwing's uneven back, Galen ran quickly, soon coming from his bumpy back to his tail.
In his hand, a golden disc was aimed at the area where Deathwing had lost his armor protection.
A golden beam burst out from the disc, fiercely shooting into Deathwing's body!
The Dragon Soul, later known as the Demon Soul, was an artifact created by Neltharion the Black Dragon Aspect by merging demonic power with the power of the Dragon Aspects.
Moreover, he cunningly avoided imbuing the Dragon Soul with his own earth-warder power as a Black Dragon. According to Neltharion's design, the Dragon Soul possessed unparalleled control over other dragons. Any dragon near the Demon Soul would become exceptionally weak, leaving only Black Dragons and other races capable of wielding the artifact.
But would Galen simply let such a powerful weapon go unused?
No one could refuse a golden laser cannon!
Although Nefarian and Onyxia had been forged into golden dragons by the Light, this did not affect the coexistence of earth power and Holy Light within them.
To enhance the Dragon Soul's power, Galen had the siblings channel their earth power into it. While the effect wasn't as potent as Neltharion's personal infusion, it was serviceable.
The golden beam slammed into Deathwing's wound, first shattering the newly replaced dragon spine, then piercing through his body and striking the earth!
After the Dragon Soul pierced Deathwing, Galen malevolently moved it around, cutting back and forth with the beam!
Amidst Deathwing's agonizing wails, the Dragon Soul blasted apart Deathwing's tail and backside, leaving him without a lower body!
Deathwing struggled violently, unleashing the power within his body, flinging the three dragons assailing him away. At that moment, the ground beneath them collapsed, and magma erupted!
Deathwing plunged into the lava. The Dragon Soul's power clung to his body, continuously destroying it. The loss of his lower body rendered him unable to control his internal energy, causing the remaining two-thirds of his body to sink and disintegrate in the lava!
However, Galen wouldn't let his guard down. Under normal circumstances, such injuries would have instantly killed Nefarian and Onyxia, but this was Deathwing. The power granted by the Titans gave him dominion over the earth, and the Old Gods' blessings made him difficult to kill.
Furthermore, Galen had witnessed Deathwing reduced to just a head, yet still unyielding!
Galen didn't jump on those platforms in Deepholm for nothing.
In other words, Deathwing with armor was in phase one. After breaking his armor and destroying his form, it was time for phase two: killing Deathwing!
Boom!
Deathwing's head suddenly shot out of the lava, the only part of him that still retained the appearance of a Black Dragon. Then, four bizarre, Scarlet, soft tentacles emerged from the lava, gripping the edge of the land tightly!
The tentacles flung lava into the air, showering Galen and forcing him to retreat.
The four blood-red tentacles seemed to absorb the power of the earth and lava, constantly sprouting smaller tentacles. Galen felt disgusted watching them.
This bizarre situation was clearly the influence of the Old Gods on Deathwing. Galen was very familiar with the name of this Old God: N'Zoth, the God of Nightmares, the Thousand-Maw!
"Master, this one is tearing the earth and absorbing its power. If we don't kill him, this land will be completely transformed into a sea of lava!"
Gruul, being a child of the earth, was highly sensitive to changes in the land. He noticed Deathwing's current state and quickly informed Galen.
"I will not die at the hands of mortals! I am Deathwing! Fools, insects, you are worthless! I will kill you all!"
Deathwing had lost his sanity and completely fallen as a tool of the Old Gods. Huge red tentacles sprouted many smaller tentacles that flew towards Galen and the others!
Galen drew his Brotherhood Sword, directly severing the approaching tentacles, then roared at the others: "Nefarian, Onyxia, Parthiaztraz, the three of you attract Deathwing's attention! Everyone else, attack those tentacles!"
Galen chose the tentacle on the far left, Deathwing's left wing. Alleria attacked Deathwing's left claw tentacle, Aegwynn chose the right wing tentacle, and Gruul charged directly towards the right claw tentacle!
Galen used Holy Light to accelerate forward, unfurling his wings of Holy Light. With a few slashes, he cleared the small tendrils from the tentacle's hand, then attacked the tentacle's main body.
A huge elementium arrow was forming. Galen couldn't let Deathwing have his way.
"K'ure, D'ore, attack that huge stone!"
The two naaru in the distance, one on the left and one on the right, erupted with powerful Holy Light. A magic circle appeared above Galen's head, and then a beam of light landed, striking the elementium arrow!
Boom!
Under the combined efforts of the two demigod-level naaru, a divine power descended from the sky, and the powerful holy damage directly shattered the formation of the elementium arrow, dissolving most of the nearby giant tentacle!
Seize the opportunity to strike him when he's weak! Galen extended his left hand, pouring magic power into the Dragon Soul in his palm. The Dragon Soul emitted a dazzling beam, directly destroying Deathwing's left wing tentacle. Under the power of the Dragon Soul, the tentacle could not grow again.
Just as Galen finished, he saw that Alleria's elementium arrow had already formed!
Swish!
The tentacle-condensed elementium arrow shot towards Alleria!
That silly girl was actually thinking of dodging the elementium arrow's attack!
The main damage of this thing isn't piercing, it's the explosion!
Galen quickly leaped, blinked, and finally arrived beside Alleria just as the elementium arrow was about to land, thanks to the blessing of Holy Light Acceleration, then tackled her to the ground.
Divine Shield was activated at the first moment!
Boom!
The power of the explosion was enormous, blasting the surrounding soil more than three feet high, creating dust that filled the area.
Galen had also miscalculated. He had only told everyone some precautions through the connection of the Heart of Origin, but forgot to tell Aegwynn and Alleria.
Because of his height, Galen's head was forced down by the explosive gale after he tackled Alleria, burying it tightly in Alleria's chest. At this time, after the explosion, he felt a burst of dizziness and suffocation, and quickly raised his head and shook it, then stood up and pulled Alleria up as well.
"Are you okay, Alleria!"
Galen spat out the dust in his mouth and looked Alleria up and down, observing whether she was injured.
"I'm fine, thank you Galen, you saved my life again!"
"It's nothing, we're all on the same side, it's what I should do!"
Besides the three dragons, the biggest commotion in the battlefield was on Gruul's side.
On the ground gripped by Deathwing's right claw, Gruul used his innate magic, sending a barrage of massive spikes, like stalagmites, rapidly towards the tentacles that Deathwing's right claw had transformed into.
Those tentacles were Deathwing's flesh and blood, and the tendrils that split from Deathwing's fully released body were hotter than lava, corroding everything they touched!
The earth rumbled as the sharp stone cones grew larger and longer on the ground. Deathwing's small tentacles were directly struck and fell off by the sharp stalagmites, and the elementium arrows were also pushed back, falling back into the lava.
Aegwynn was like a mobile artillery piece, the artifact staff in her hand flying behind her, assisting its master in launching arcane missiles one after another!
After Galen used the Dragon Soul to bombard Deathwing's second tentacle, he took Alleria to help Aegwynn.
At this moment, Galen discovered that the Dragon Soul's energy was somewhat depleted. He had used several laser cannons continuously today. The first shot blew up Deathwing's lower body, and the second and third shots were also used with overload, lasering off the tentacles of the two Deathwing's on the left.
At this critical moment, you're telling me you can't do it?
The arrow is on the string and has to be fired!
Today, you have to do it, whether you can or not!
Galen's mind raced, trying to come up with a plan B!
In fact, Galen had another powerful artifact in his hand that was comparable to the Dragon Soul, or even surpassed it.
That was the Eye of Sargeras, which he obtained in the Tomb of Sargeras!
That was an energy gem that the Dark Titan had prepared for himself, a top-level treasure like a mage's mana sapphire.
But Galen didn't dare to use it easily!
Once the Eye of Sargeras was activated, its massive energy could even shatter the continental shelf. Illidan used this gem to attack the Frozen Throne and almost sank the entire Northrend into the sea. Galen could definitely blast Deathwing into ashes with it, but the entire Gorgrond would also disappear!
This was not what Galen wanted to see.
Moreover, there were demons on Draenor, which was inevitable. Kil'jaeden would definitely send subordinates to monitor the orcs' every move to ensure their progress.
Now that the orcs were attacking Galen's army fiercely in Tanaan Jungle and Shadowmoon Valley, trying to open up a land passage between the two places, the demons would definitely not urgently contact their superiors if they saw the orcs doing serious business.
Once those high-ranking demons sensed the aura of the Eye of Sargeras and directly used their final authority to urgently contact Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, alarming these two giants of the Burning Legion, Galen's subsequent plans would not be so smooth!
Galen's current King's Summoning was at most a demigod mid-level strength. Using it wouldn't have a decisive effect, otherwise he would have summoned Deathwing's power long ago, using his own methods against him, to have a double dragon fight!
I have an idea!
It doesn't matter if there's no energy!
Bro, I'll fill you up!
Galen ran while using the King's Summoning in turns!
First, the power of Chromie!
This was the bronze dragon that Galen was most familiar with!
He turned into a bronze dragon while running, even though it was a female. He couldn't care less and directly clenched his hands, pouring all his strength into the Dragon Soul.
Second, Krasus!
Third, Kalecgos!
Fourth, Ysere!
Fifth, Sinestra!
Soon, the guardian power of the five colored dragons had all been poured into the Dragon Soul. This five-dragon power directly cost Galen more than 100,000 gold coins!
Truly, the power of pay-to-win!
Moreover, the movements were fast, and after canceling the ability, the blessing status and output energy would disappear quickly. This was also the reason why Galen didn't transform into a red dragon to use the Blessing of Life on his old father.
The black dragon prince Sabellian, who was watching the battle from afar, was already stunned!
The appearance of the Dragon Soul made him see the hope of the Crusaders defeating his father, and Galen's five-colored dragon transformation completely conquered Sabellian's heart. If it weren't for the intense battle now, he would have gone up to surrender!
Aegwynn and Alleria had just blown up Deathwing's right wing. Now, only Deathwing's head and one right claw tentacle remained!
"Roar!"
Deathwing had already defeated Onyxia and Pariasstraz at this time. One of the two dragons had their neck bitten off, and the other was tied tightly by tentacles, unable to move. Only Nefarian was desperately supporting himself with the Holy Shield!
Even so, Deathwing was very angry. He didn't expect that after abandoning the shackles of armor and activating the second form using the power of chaos, three of his four tentacles would be blown up instantly!
This was his strongest form!
A chaotic form that could devour life and grow infinitely. As long as there was enough time for him to devour this planet, he would become as powerful as the Old Gods!
However, the existence of the holy light binding array of the two naaru, Cure and De'ore, sealed all the chaotic void power within this five-kilometer radius, preventing Deathwing's tentacles from extending infinitely into the ground!
Deathwing's power could not be replenished, so it was infinitely weakened!
Boom!
Galen didn't care about Deathwing's frustration. While it was hot, he fired the Dragon Soul, directly blasting Deathwing's last tentacle!
At this time, the tentacle that was blown up by Aegwynn showed signs of rebirth!
After destroying three tentacles, the remaining power of the Dragon Soul could prevent Deathwing's tentacles from regenerating, while Aegwynn only used powerful magic to forcefully shatter the tentacles, so it could still be reborn!
At this time, Galen already felt the power of the Dragon Soul beginning to flow away!
What the heck!
I paid for it, how can it be so fast!
At this time, the Dragon Soul no longer had time to blast the tentacles and attack Deathwing's head. Galen decided to go straight for the Yellow Dragon!
Wearing the body of the black dragon mother, Galen quickly approached Deathwing!
This familiar dragon body not only stunned Deathwing, but even Nefarian and Onyxia paused for a moment. Fortunately, these two had a connection with Galen through the Heart of Origin and knew that this was Galen.
However, Deathwing's chaotic brain couldn't tell the truth from the fake. Seeing his only surviving spouse made his mind produce flaws. It was because his only surviving spouse had been hiding from him that the Black Dragonflight did not have direct descendants born, so he set his sights on the Red Dragon Queen!
In the instant Deathwing was stunned, Galen switched his transformation, from a black dragon to a bronze dragon, and reused the power of Chromie.
At this moment, Galen turned into a small gnome, broke through Deathwing's chest with the Dragon Soul, and drilled into his body!
Paltiasztaz was an ancient red dragon, and the identity of an ancient red dragon meant that he was a dragon that already existed when the five-colored dragons were chosen by the Titans and granted the authority of guardians.
Paltiasztaz witnessed the five most powerful proto-dragons assisting the Titan Guardian Tyr in fighting against the chaotic proto-dragon Galakrond. The other Titan Guardians, in order to enhance the power of the five dragons, summoned the Titans who created them to grant the dragons power.
Titan Guardians were giants created by the Titans, entrusted with the important task of guarding Azeroth and watching over the Old Gods. Azeroth has nine Titan Guardians, while Draenor only has one Gorond. Doesn't this mean that one Azeroth is worth nine Draenors?
Getting back to the point, the Lifebinder Alexstrasza was granted the power of life by the Life Queen Freya, who summoned her creator Eonar.
Alexstrasza's sister, the proto-dragon Ysera, also sought the blessing of natural power from Eonar through Freya, responsible for overseeing the evolution of Azeroth in the Emerald Dream. She became one with this dream and was later known as the Dreamer.
Highkeeper Ra requested his creator, the Titan Aman'Thul, to infuse power into Nozdormu's body. Nozdormu was granted the power to control time, becoming the Aspect of Time.
Guardian Loken summoned his creator, Norgannon, and bestowed the proto-dragon Malygos with earth-shattering arcane power. Malygos became the Spell-Weaver, protecting everything in the realm of magic and arcane.
Finally, Guardian Archaedas petitioned his creator, Khaz'goroth, to grant the proto-dragon Neltharion the blessing of powerful earth power. Neltharion was then crowned the Earth-Warder, in charge of the mountains and depths of the entire earth.
The Guardians also used magic to transform some of the participating proto-dragons and hundreds of proto-dragon eggs, causing these eggs to hatch into creatures with the same forms as the five blessed dragons. These species were called "dragons", and they formed the later bronze, red, green, blue, and black dragonflights.
And the secret that Galen obtained from Partiasztaz was that these five Titan power blessings and the granted authority all had external symbols of existence. The life authority of the Red Dragon Queen was a gem existing within her body: the Tear of Eonar!
Therefore, Galen guessed that Deathwing must also have the embodiment of the Earth-Warder's authority within his body!
Galen always liked to maximize his benefits. Since he was going to kill Deathwing, he wanted to collect his soul, and the authority of the earth could not be lost. He had to get it before he could kill Deathwing!
Deathwing's body was filled with magma corrupted by the power of the Old Gods. Galen immediately activated Holy Shield and then used Chromie's time acceleration to quickly search in the magma!
Generally speaking, besides the head, the heart is the second most important organ for a dragon. With his vague senses, Galen rushed towards the location of Deathwing's heart!
Finally, a violently beating heart appeared in front of Galen!
The Brotherhood Sword suddenly split open the flesh wall of the heart, and Galen directly broke into Deathwing's heart chamber!
Roar, Deathwing outside howled in pain, erupting with powerful force that sent Nefarian, who had been containing him, flying away. At this time, only Alleria and Aegwynn were still persisting on the field!
A mage and a ranger were gritting their teeth and persevering. This feeling was like the last one percent before a wipe, leaving only a burst mage and a strong hunter, while the onlookers on the floor could only watch with a fluke mentality.
Alleria jumped back and forth on the volcano, dodging the more and more, longer and longer tentacles. Fortunately, the Dragonspine Trophy on her waist was quite powerful, with a high trigger rate, coupled with the ranger's high agility, giving her the capital to dance on the edge of a knife.
Aegwynn had now used Blink, Magic Shield, Ice Barrier, and Time Rewind to the extreme. She also used a Small Invulnerability Potion and an Invulnerability Potion once in between. Seven seconds plus fifteen seconds of invulnerability allowed her to stand tall and output to her heart's content. In more than a minute, she cast hundreds of Arcane Blasts!
K'ure and D'ore maintained the Light Formation, resisting the corrosive power of Deathwing's tentacles, preventing them from spreading outwards, while also having to spare a trace of attention to cast healing spells on the three dragons and Alleria lying on the ground!
As the tentacles increased, Alleria had no place to stand.
Galen, hurry up, I can't hold on anymore!
Three tentacles slammed heavily onto the ground where Alleria was. She had nowhere to escape!
Alleria could only hold the pink potion Galen gave her in her hand, ready to activate it at any time!
At this moment, a golden light pierced through Deathwing's chest, followed by a second and third golden light soaring into the sky.
"No! The Twilight Judgment has not yet arrived!" In Deathwing's unwilling roar, his body began to disintegrate, and the tentacles growing on his body began to collapse. The three tentacles turned to ashes before touching Alleria.
The power of life, the power of time, the power of nature, the power of earth, and the power of arcane in the Dragon Soul began to destroy Deathwing's body from the heart. Finally, in a violent explosion, Deathwing was left with only a dragon head and an iron-gray armored chin falling on the gray-white earth!
Finally, it's over. Alleria and Aegwynn, who were standing, breathed a sigh of relief. The light on the two Naaru was also dim, and their power was close to exhaustion.
Galen jumped up from the magma and landed firmly on the ground, breathing heavily. He was almost suffocated to death, not crushed to death by Deathwing's flesh and blood, and even using Underwater Breathing on himself didn't work because blood wasn't water!
The moment Alleria saw Galen appear, she jumped to Galen's side, took his hands, and carefully checked to see if he was injured.
"Galen, why did you do such a dangerous thing! If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Sylvanas!"
Just now, Galen rushed into Neltharion's body, scaring Alleria half to death. She almost thought Galen was going to die with Deathwing.
It was precisely because of this worry that she unleashed her full power, and the ranger skills she had trained in the first half of her life broke through under the explosion of potential, reaching a new level!
Dragonspine also almost covered the entire process of attack because of her attack frequency!
Galen was deeply moved by Alleria's concern. Looking at her anxious expression, a string in Galen's heart was plucked. Besides his old father and Sylvanas, she was the third person to genuinely care about him.
Galen took a step forward and gently hugged her, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry for making you worry, Alleria. I'm fine."
After a few seconds of the light embrace, Galen released her and waved a translucent one-handed hammer in front of her, saying as if presenting a treasure, "Do you know what this is? This is the Earth Authority that the Titans bestowed upon Deathwing. Only by stripping him of this authority can we kill him. Otherwise, we need to have the same rank as the Titans to completely erase his existence!"
After releasing Alleria, Galen pretended to inspect the remnants of Neltharion's body, but in reality, he was secretly observing the Ranger-General. At this moment, he felt quite conflicted. The allure of possessing the sister flowers was incredibly tempting, and he sensed Alleria's feelings for him. However, with Sylvanas coming first, Galen didn't dare to act rashly.
The Queen's wrath was not something easily endured.
The two Naaru floated over and began to heal the injuries of the three dragons and Gruul. Galen, on the other hand, was groping around the remaining head of Deathwing. The most conspicuous thing was Deathwing's iron jaw, which was a whole piece of Elementium ingot. He wondered how many years Deathwing's goblins had spent collecting so much rare ore.
He would have Gruul move it back and melt it down later. This iron armor had been worn by Deathwing for over ten thousand years, and it was stained with a lot of the Black Dragon Aspect's aura. It should have extraordinary effects when used to forge weapons.
After looking around, there was nothing left except a dragon's head. Galen was considering hanging the head in Shattrath City to show off the Crusade's bravery.
"Collect the Soul Remains!"
Galen put collecting the Soul Remains last, because the best things should be saved for last to have an explosive sense of satisfaction.
Deathwing's soul should be the highest quality Soul Remains Galen had ever collected. Even Medivh's Soul Remains were at most purple quality, while Deathwing's Soul Remains were orange quality, a demigod at the high-stage!
With the Soul Remains, the rest would be much easier. The best way to maximize combat power was to use a dragon egg to let Neltharion possess and be reborn, just like Nefarian. Find a dragon egg with the same attributes as him, and start the resurrection ritual for possession and rebirth!
Of course, the combat power would definitely decline. After all, no matter how high the quality of the soul, using a newborn dragon's body would definitely be affected.
However, now that the complete Earth Authority was in Galen's hands, it would be easy for Neltharion to quickly recover his strength.
But Galen was not prepared to do so.
Galen was considering whether to leave the power of the earth to Thrall to inherit, after all, this World-Shaman had proven that he could control this power.
The main thing was that Deathwing's reputation was too bad, almost to the point where everyone in Azeroth wanted to kill him. He betrayed the five dragonflights and almost wiped out the blue dragonflight, and he tricked the Red Dragon Aspect.
With Galen's policy of uniting all forces that could be united to fight against the Burning Legion, Neltharion's existence was simply a highly poisonous tumor that would affect unity!
Now he could only secretly resurrect him first. He was still a powerful combat force, and after resurrection, he could use the Pool of Life to catalyze his body, and strive to put him to use as soon as possible.
At this time, Gruul walked over, holding a battle blade in his two huge claws.
"Master, this weapon flew out during the explosion just now!"
Galen turned around and took a look. Oh, he originally didn't expect to have more spoils, but he didn't expect to have a surprise at the end.
This was a two-handed longsword flowing with purple light. Galen was very familiar with its shape. Last year, he had used Thoridal to compete with Deathwing's humanoid form with this sword.
Gorshalach, the Voice of the Deep!
Commonly known as the Tentacle Sword!
It was a pity. He would have to resurrect Neltharion in the future, and he was also one of his own. Galen couldn't bear to embezzle this weapon with a clear conscience. He could only put it away first.
Looking at this devastated battlefield, Galen sighed. The task of planting trees and restoring the environment was a long way to go. He would let the four elements and those shamans who joined the Holy Light Sect first come to appease the elements, suppress the volcanoes and magma, and finally move mountains and fill the sea.
At the edge of the battlefield, Sabellian was still watching there. The Naaru's Holy Light Binding Array restricted the aftermath of the battle to a certain area, and he was far away and not affected.
Sabellian, who had become a human, was a dark-skinned middle-aged man. At this time, he walked over and bowed down in front of Galen.
Being able to kill his depraved and crazy father, such an existence was worth his allegiance. He had seen the states of Nefarian and Onyxia, and he couldn't wait to join the glorious purification that Galen had said before!
"Stand up, Sabellian. I'm not interested in this kind of etiquette. Loyalty comes from the heart. In the future, this kind of superfluous etiquette will not be necessary."
The Black Dragon Prince, who didn't know the truth, was so moved. Aegwynn and Alleria, who were on the side, felt that Galen's pattern was broad when they heard these words. They didn't know that as long as Sabellian participated in the Lightforging, the Heart of Origin would make him loyal from the heart. With the loyalty guaranteed, there was indeed no need for those superfluous red tape.
The battle on the periphery ended even earlier than Galen's side. The Gronn, ogre, cyclops, and orc army cooperated with several legions of the Crusade to subdue all the black dragons.
Of course, there were definitely casualties. Galen didn't care whether they were warriors of the Heart of Origin or the dead Gronn, orcs, ogres, all gathered together and performed a large-scale Holy Light resurrection ceremony.
After such a miracle, the Gronn, ogres, cyclops, and orcs of several tribes all knelt on the ground and worshiped the Lord of the Holy Light!
The Black Dragonflight suffered a great loss here. Of the hundreds of adult dragons, only more than sixty were captured alive, and all of them were injured, either missing arms or wings. Almost all of the remaining black dragon whelps with insufficient strength were wiped out.
Galen didn't like these low-strength whelps. With so many official members of the Black Dragonflight, there were males and females, and there would be as many whelps as he wanted in the future.
Moreover, the more than forty black dragons who died could not escape. When they died, all the units of the base were around, and the Heart of Origin directly detained their souls, waiting for Galen to confirm whether to collect them.
Now it was equal to a clean sweep!
If all of these black dragons were Lightforged, plus Nefarian's subordinates before, the number of the Golden Holy Dragon clan would be around one hundred and fifty, and all of them would be adult dragons, at least possessing the strength above the ninth rank.
Before the Royal Guards and Transferred Soldiers reached a certain number to cause a qualitative change, the Golden Holy Dragon Legion was already the most powerful force in Galen's hands.
This feeling of plucking the Black Dragon's wool to enhance his own strength was wonderful!
With the clearing of Gorgrond, it was divided into hunting grounds for the Gronn and ogre cyclops, and a massive migration officially began.
The black dragons were escorted back to Holy Light City in batches to await Lightforging. The head of Deathwing made the surviving adult black dragons tremble. Furthermore, Sabelian, the adjutant of the Black Dragonflight, had already chosen to join the Crusade. These black dragons were very well-behaved and dared not harbor any thoughts of resistance.
Deathwing's death eradicated the curse of the Old Gods on the black dragon bloodline from its source. However, the existing black dragon bloodline still contained the curse, although it would not deepen with the passage of time.
Even without Lightforging them, there were still many ways to eradicate the curse within their bodies. However, Galen had become obsessed with Lightforging black dragons to form a golden holy dragon army and couldn't restrain himself!
As far as Galen knew, the black dragons still in existence included the dragon mother Sinestra, Blackhorn, who was in seclusion in Highmountain, and a batch of black dragons captured by the other four dragonflights and imprisoned in the Obsidian Sanctum, the former sacred ground of the black dragon clan.
The fall of the Black Dragon King and the transformation of three direct bloodlines into golden holy dragons had weakened the Black Dragonflight to the extreme.
The remnants of the Mok'Nathal clan and the Laughing Skull clan, along with the Thunderlord clan, totaling nearly 100,000 orcs, left Gorgrond in a mighty procession and headed for Nagrand.
Galen settled this group of orcs in the rocky canyon in the very center of Nagrand. To the north was Garadar of the Mag'har, to the west was Galen's Halaa fortress, to the south was the town of Talador where the Frostwolves were located, and to the west was the Havalon Fireblade Ruins and the Bloodmaul Slag Mines occupied by Lantresor the Blade.
Currently, the orcs of Draenor had been forced to split into several factions. The first group was the vanguard that invaded Azeroth. This group of tribal armies was initially composed of the Blackrock clan, the Bleeding Hollow clan, the Shattered Hand clan, the Burning Blade clan, the Dragonmaw clan, and Cho'gall's Twilight's Hammer clan, all of which were larger and more well-known clans, plus countless unknown smaller clans. They could be considered the most capable fighters among the orcs. There were also the main forces of the Warsong clan who participated in the Battle of Blackrock Mountain. They were trapped in Azeroth after the Horde's defeat.
The second group was the orc clans that remained behind, mainly the Shadowmoon clan and the Shattered Hand clan, as well as the Bleeding Hollow clan that had fled back. Kilrogg united several larger clans such as the Bonechewer clan, the Thunderlord clan, the Bladefist clan, and the Redwalker clan, as well as other unknown smaller clans. They were currently entrenched in Tanaan Jungle and Shadowmoon Valley, led by Ner'zhul, and had re-established the Horde.
The third group was the clans that refused to drink the blood of demons, including the Mag'har clan and the Frostwolf clan, plus the Mok'Nathal clan that Galen had migrated over.
This group of orcs under Galen's command was the smallest. Even with the remnants of the Thunderlord clan and the Laughing Skull clan, plus the Mag'har integrating the women and children left behind by the Warsong clan and the refugees of the Bleeding Hollow clan, they only numbered around 500,000, accounting for only one-fifth of the orc population at its peak.
When Galen returned to Shattrath City, Medivh came to find him with a tall, two-headed ogre.
Galen looked at this enormous two-headed ogre, who was at the early stage of the Epic realm and had average strength.
"Who is this ogre mage?"
"Magar, the legitimate heir of the Gorian ogres, the son of the previous High King, Mar'gok!" Medivh introduced the ogre he had brought.
"So, you've unified Nagrand?"
Before the opening of the Dark Portal, Highmaul had already been breached by the Warsong clan and the Twilight's Hammer clan who had drunk the blood of demons. The entire kingdom had been plowed through. However, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. After the orcs retreated, their remnants were still entrenched in the ruins of Highmaul. Medivh didn't have much manpower to use, and Galen didn't expect him to move so quickly.
"I just went to their doorstep and fought their leader. They chose to surrender after I won!"
Very good, this is very Medivh.
Medivh had grasped the characteristics of the ogres. They didn't care whether their boss was an ogre or not, as long as they were stronger than them, they would listen.
Lantresor the Blade relied on force to rule the Stonemaul ogres.
"Magar, are you willing to submit to the Crusade and lead your subordinates to become servants of the Crusade?" Of course, Galen wouldn't believe verbal promises. He would have to sign a master-servant contract later, just like the orc chieftains in Gorgrond: Leoroxx, Kaz, and Gam Wolfbrother.
"Magar greets the new master. Highmaul is willing to submit to the Crusade."
"I only ask that the master allow Magar to kill Cho'gall, that traitor!"
Magar's two heads spoke one after the other.
"Oh? You have a feud with Cho'gall?" Galen remembered the two-headed ogre whom he had let go at the entrance to the Tomb of Sargeras. He wondered if he had hooked up with the Old Gods and formed the Twilight Cult.
"Cho'gall is a traitor. He is my distant cousin, possesses royal blood, and was later exiled by my father for conducting forbidden magic experiments and blowing up half the city!"
"He joined the Horde and the Shadow Council, and led the Warsong clan to conquer Highmaul!"
"Cho'gall bound my father to the throne and killed him with flames!"
The ogre's two heads explained their grievances with Cho'gall one after the other.
It turned out that after the Horde conquered Shattrath City and eliminated the draenei's resistance, Warchief Blackhand immediately turned his attention to the other inhabitants of this planet: the Gronn, the arakkoa, and the ogres!
Besides the scattered rural tribes, there were two ogre empires with legitimate bloodlines: the Highmaul ogres and the Blade's Edge ogres.
Among them, the Warsong clan and the Twilight's Hammer clan were dispatched by Blackhand to conquer Highmaul and recruit more ogres to fight for the Horde.
In the end, under the personal siege of Grommash, the warlike chieftain of the Warsong clan, and the treacherous Cho'gall, Highmaul, despite having many two-headed ogres skilled in rune magic, was ultimately defeated and fell. The Horde carried out massacres and enslavement of the ogres.
For Cho'gall, the siege of Highmaul finally allowed him to fulfill his long-cherished wish and take revenge on the clansmen who had driven him out of the city.
Mar'gok was also a highly talented two-headed ogre mage, but in the final duel, Cho'gall, who simultaneously mastered fel magic and void power, personally defeated Mar'gok, the leader of Highmaul, bound him to the throne of Highmaul, and burned him alive.
