Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 86 41. Momo is in front, the killer is behind, the dog saint must die here and now [Explosive Update 44/50]

(Additional update for brother “Huo Zheng Ting Hao” [9/10])
"Enemy attack!!! Blow the horn!"

The shrill sound of the alarm broke the sacred tranquility of the Holy Land of Auchindoun today. Less than an hour after the comfort of the Star Soul dissipated, the desolate sound of the horn echoed over the entire holy land.

The brigade's garrison commander immediately entered the defense zone, and the Auchenai priests activated the holy land's energy shield in a timely manner according to the crisis rehearsal.

As described by the Warbringer Lathorne, as a place where the remains and spirits of the Draenei and fragments of the Star Soul's will are stored, the defense system of the Holy Land of Auchindoun is theoretically more powerful than the Temple of Karabor. The giant Arkinite crystal towers placed throughout the holy land alone are enough to support an energy shield as thick as a city wall.

This perfectly makes up for the shortcoming of the holy land having no city wall defense.

After confirming that demons were charging from the direction of the Tomb of Holy Light and that the area had become a fel well burning with fel beams, the alarmed Archbishop Maladaar immediately activated the second layer of defense of the holy land.

The huge arcane guards rose from their bases with heavy steps, and began to take up defensive positions in coordination with the Thunder Elephant Cavalry. The Spirit Dragon Knights and Flying Manta Knights also took off in coordination. When the first group of demon cannon fodder rushed into the outskirts of the holy land, they were met with a head-on attack from the elite defenders.

"That place is clearly a large-scale summoning ritual in progress! Those damn warlocks must be summoning powerful demon lords there. We must rush into the Tomb of Holy Light and put an end to this disaster before they complete the summoning."

Maladaar mounted his thunder elephant and called out to his lieutenant, Soulbinder Tulani:

"I'll leave this here to you for now, Tulani! You and Defense Commander Kuror must hold the line until reinforcements arrive from Shattrath City. It will take at most an hour! The Krokuun Legion's hunters will definitely appear on the battlefield."

"No, the Krokuun Legion is already on the battlefield, Archbishop!"

New soldier Yrel raised his jeweled hammer and said to the Archbishop:

"The hundreds of hunters brought by the Sentinels are here. They can participate in the defense. On the contrary, you should not leave the Holy Land at this time. The Sentinels still need protection."

"But the summoning ritual must be interrupted, child."

Maladaar said seriously:

"The warlocks came prepared. They deliberately launched their attack just as the Saint entered Auchindoun. This shows that the demon lord they were summoning was capable of killing our Saint. You can doubt the warlocks' character, but you cannot question their viciousness and cunning.

Once that ritual is completed, the Holy Land will probably face a devastating disaster today.

As the leader of this place, I must stop them!"

"You stay here, we'll interrupt the ceremony!"

Maraad rushed over and said loudly:
"I can lead a cavalry detachment and a garrison officer there. You are the Archbishop of the Holy Land. You can help maintain the morale of the warriors here."

"I'm going with my brother."

Lelan held the Youth Version of the Skull of Gul'dan in her hand and said:

"I am an arcanist personally trained by a veteran of the Hand of Argus. I know exactly how to disrupt the warlock's summoning ritual."

"And I!"

Eredas raised his sword and shield and said:
"I won't let Lelan fall into danger. I've also sworn an oath to Star Soul. Leave that place to us, Archbishop. You stay here and take charge of the situation."

"it is good!"

Maladaar was not a hesitant person. He immediately agreed to this tactic. The main reason was that the thunder elephant cavalry under his command did not have the exaggerated speed of the hunter cavalry, and what the new recruit Yrel said was right.

The Saint is communicating with the Star Soul. Now the most important thing is to guard the Holy Land of Auchindoun and ensure that the ceremony is not disturbed.

But less than ten minutes after Maraad left with his sister, "reserve brother-in-law" and the hunters, new problems arose in the Holy Land.

"The elements are wailing! Something's wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong here!"

Nobundo, who had used lightning chains to shoot down several demon bats, suddenly felt a pain on his forehead. The nearby elemental forces were warning him, and those elements were screaming in the wind that "dangerous destructive creatures" were coming.

Such an anxious warning was enough to make Nobundo extremely vigilant. He quickly rushed to a watchtower, grabbed Soulbinder Turani who was casting a Holy Light spell, pointed in a calm direction and said to the elite priest adjutant:
"Over there! There's movement over there, the abnormal roar of elemental power, there are dangerous alien elements over there about to enter the material world! That place needs to be defended!"

"South?"

Adjutant Tulani was dumbfounded.

The direction Nobundo pointed to was exactly diagonal to the direction from which the demons were attacking. It was not that she did not believe in the judgment of this new recruit valued by the saint, but the problem was that most of the military forces of the holy land had just been deployed to the area where a large number of demons were attacking, and it was too late to mobilize manpower to reinforce it.

Just a few minutes later, with a huge explosion, the earth and rocks in the distant hills were broken and the ground was shaking. A strange elemental lord roared and tore through the boundaries of the material world and appeared at the edge of the holy land.

Those were not the four elements of water, fire, earth and earth that Nobundo was familiar with. Its appearance was very much like a gathering of wind elements, and it was indeed six points similar to the wind elemental lord Karadios, but its huge elemental body was not composed of strong winds, but strange gray-white sound waves.

The arms and torso of its vaguely humanoid upper body are wrapped with strange emerald green sound wave rings, and every move it makes can set off shrill sonic howls in the material world.

"What it is?"

Yrel was startled.

She smashed the hellhound in front of her flat with a hammer, then turned and shouted to Nobundo:

"Do you recognize that thing? As a genius shaman like you, you should come up with a strategy right away!"

"I've only been a shaman for a few days, and I haven't even finished reading the Book of Elements that Chieftain Ner'zhul gave me."

Nobundo endured the splitting headache brought by the wailing of the elemental forces. He distinguished the roars of the panicked elements in his ears and relayed the information the elements told him to the people around him.

他 说:

"That's the Ancient Sound Element. It's a rare variant of the Wind Element, a confluence of sounds from the birth of the world. They tend to be active in areas where music resonates, and they become followers of musicians and poets.

But what we see before us is different!
The wind elementals of Draenor fear it! They told me that this sound elemental lord is called 'Momo', and his voice is full of the wails before the destruction of the world. This guy destroyed his world with his own hands!
It is a dangerous and deranged elemental tyrant that roams the astral sea."

As they were talking, they saw the guy named "Momo" raising a strange "tuning fork" made of unknown metal mixed with elemental power. As the tyrant whispered, the chaotic sounds on the battlefield gathered into a suddenly rising sound wave.

The frequency of the sound continued to increase and soon exceeded the limit of what the human ear could capture.

It was better for the garrisons as they were far away. The ferocious demons who approached Momor had their bodies torn into pieces and crushed into dust by the terrifying sound waves. As Momor swung the tuning fork scepter downwards again, the shock wave caused by the invisible noise tore through the earth and rushed towards the main body of the Holy Land of Auchindoun.

As Yrel, Nobundo, and Adjutant Tulani stared in amazement, the three Immortal Guardians along the way were torn into pieces by the resonance of the sound waves at the moment of collision, and the thick energy barrier defending the holy body was also torn apart by the blow and suddenly went out like a light bulb with poor contact.

The Anikent crystal towers in the back that were charging the barrier also exploded one after another due to the overload of disrupted energy frequency.

It's not that the destructive power of the sound itself is really that strong, but mainly because the strange guy Momo manipulates the sound to form sound waves of a special frequency, causing a strange resonance in the energy transmission of the Holy Land of Auchindoun, which in turn triggers a terrible situation similar to a "blackout".

"not good!"

Nobundo roared angrily:
"Those bastards summoned Momo specifically to destroy the holy land's shield!"

"Look! Someone is coming."

Yrel screamed, and they soon saw a group of red-skinned Man'ari riding on Talbuk sheep coming from the area where the Elemental Lords launched the attack, and some brutal Ogre bandits also moved with them.

Leading the group was a sturdy female warrior wielding a massive fel hammer.

"It's Captain Haveri, the garrison commander! The Sargerei, a trusted servant of the traitor Othar, has also arrived! These damned traitors are colluding with the orc warlocks."

Adjutant Tulani cursed with gritted teeth. She turned back to look at Nobundo who was frantically flipping through the Book of Elements and said:

"I don't know if you can do it, but that Elemental Lord must be handed over to you. I'm going to lead the warriors to stop this group of Sargerei and prevent that guy from destroying our Eternal Guard. Otherwise, we won't be able to stop the simultaneous attack from three parties!"

"Ah I?"

Nobundo looked at the Book of Elements in his hand, then looked at the alien elemental lord who was riding the harsh sound waves and laughing wildly towards the Holy Land of Auchindoun in the distance, and finally looked at Adjutant Tulani who jumped off the watchtower and led a group of Auchenai priests to stop the Sargerei traitors.

In the end, he could only smile bitterly:

"How can a novice shaman like me possibly handle a tyrannical elemental lord? You think too highly of me."

"Stop grumbling and think of a solution!"

The brave Yrel spread her wings and, with the Holy Light on her body, hammered back the demon guards in front of her one by one. Without turning her head, she said to Nobundo behind her:

"The Vigilant Saint also said that you will be our Draenei's spokesperson for the Elemental Way. Don't underestimate yourself, Nobundo. If the Saint says you can do it, then you can do it! In short, quickly open that damn book of yours and come up with a solution.

That damn thing is about to enter the battlefield, my ears are about to bleed.
Ah!
It's really bloody!"

"There are only two ways to deal with these uncontrolled destructive elements! They are unable and unwilling to communicate with the shaman, so we have to resort to force."

Nobundo put away the Book of Elements that Ner'zhul had given him. He stood up, clutched his crystal beads, and said:
"Either enslave or exile! But I'm only one person. I can't do either, unless the elemental lords of Draenor are willing to help me. To them, Murmur is an 'invader'. The elements will not allow such a madman to stay in their territory for long."

"Then call them, Nobundo."

Yrel retreated to her comrades and directed the other garrisons to form a mobile defensive circle centered around protecting Nobundo. She wiped the blood off her helmet and said to Nobundo:
"The four elements of Draenor have chosen you as the representative of the Draenei Elemental Way. They have appointed you as their spokesperson and will surely treat you favorably. Work hard, don't lose face, and call upon them boldly!"

With her encouragement, Nobundo for the first time called upon the four elements of the land as a shaman to respond to his call. It turned out that the spokesperson chosen by the elemental lord did have "privileges".

At Nobundo's call, the wind elemental lord Karadios was the first to respond.

After all, the sound element Momo is a variant of the wind element. It is reasonable that it should be the first to stand out when this thing invades the world.

Of course, the elemental lords were still recuperating from their injuries at the Elemental Throne, and it was unrealistic to expect them to take action personally, but they still gave Nubundo enough face, and the power projection of the wind lord soon appeared in the sky of the Holy Land of Auchindoun in the gathering of strong winds.

Dazzling bolts of lightning were continuously thrown down and struck Momo's strange phonetic body, finally preventing the violent alien elements from approaching the holy land.

The provoked elemental tyrant also sent sonic shock waves into the sky to express his anger. The battle between the two superior elements plunged the entire battlefield into chaos with dark clouds and lightning.

However, this large-scale dissipation of elemental power actually helped the Draenei hold their defense line, and the demons that rushed in all directions suffered a great misfortune.

They were caught in the clash between the two elemental lords, and their deaths were ridiculously disastrous. However, Nobundo knew that the wind lord alone was not enough to defeat Murmur. Karadios had only sent his own elemental projection, while the enemy had descended in person. Therefore, he continued to call on the other elemental lords to quickly join the battle!

"This is your world! If you don't fight for it, do you really want the Draenei to shed their last drop of blood for Draenor?"

Amidst Nobundo's roar, the projections of the other three elemental lords finally appeared reluctantly, and faced the invader Momo with a visible sense of annoyance at being "forced to work".

From this point, we can see that the elemental lords in this small place of Draenor are really not up to the standard!
They are all very petty.

There are actually quite a few crazy elementals like Murmur that have destroyed worlds and wandered in the starry sea, but none of them dares to invade the elemental territory of Azeroth.

They knew very well how powerful the elemental monarchs born in that ghost place where star souls were nurtured would be. A weak guy like Momor who bullied the weak and feared the strong would not be able to squeeze into the Sky Wall controlled by the God of Wind if he was thrown into the Sky Wall controlled by the God of Wind.

At most, he was sent to the Top of the Whirlwind by Al'Akir to replace the Lord of the East Wind to guard the gate of the Sky Wall. In short, he is a loser.

But no matter what, the four elemental lords finally showed up, and as a new shaman, Nobundo couldn't say anything. With the four elemental lords entangled with Momor, the next thing to do was to think about how to deal with it.

As he said just now, this crazy element that doesn't understand human language should either be exiled or enslaved. He is inclined to the former. For him, who was born as a garrison officer, the idea of "enslaving elements" seems a bit evil.

But just as he was about to act, a voice suddenly came from his ears:
“Enslave it!

Use it as your 'Hand of the Elements'; when demons invade Draenor, Murmur's madness will come in handy.

Since it destroyed its own world, let this crazy guy protect another world and atone for his sins, otherwise if you release it back to the stars, other worlds will suffer from the persecution of Momoru, and you will be an accomplice then.

The Holy Light teaches you to be kind, but it doesn't mean you are pedantic, child. Punishing evil is also promoting good!"

"saint?"

Nobundo turned around in surprise. Of course, there was no one behind him, but he clearly heard Saint Diakum's instructions to him. He didn't quite understand the principle of "Thousand Mile Sound Transmission" and could only whisper:

"But my cultivation and control of the Elemental Way is not enough for me to enslave such a powerful Elemental Lord. Even with the help of the four elements, I can't do it. The difference in individual strength is too great."

"So, you will receive the blessing of the ancient elements from your homeland, child."

As Dick gave his vague instructions, the spirit of a Krokuun shaman elder wearing ancient shaman robes appeared beside Nobundo in a magical "phase walking" posture.

This ancient warrior, who was given a mission by the "Hand of Argus", reached out and patted Nobundo on the shoulder, gave his descendant an encouraging smile, and then disappeared. Something fell from his hand and landed in Nobundo's hand.

A battle-scarred Heart of Argus pendant!
This thing was blessed by the ancient elements of Argus when it was first forged. For priests, hunters and vindicators, the Heart of Argus only has commemorative value after leaving its homeland. However, for shamans, this thing is still a powerful and elusive elemental artifact even after leaving its homeland.

Unfortunately, over the years, the shaman heritage, which was not very good to begin with, has become the real bottom of the list among the Draenei clans, making it impossible to make good use of the value of the artifact.

But it’s different now!

Nobundo hung the pendant around his neck that had been passed down from generation to generation by the warriors before him. When he rushed to the edge of the battlefield of the elemental war with the artifact in his hand and prepared to cast a spell to enslave Momor, the spirit of the ancient shaman who had appeared before appeared beside him again.

Although unable to communicate verbally, Nobundo understood the meaning of his father who had fought with the Heart of Argus in hand.

"Child, I'm here to help you!"

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

He said this, and then called upon the elemental power to cast a spell. The ancient Eredar shaman soul beside him also served as an assistant to help him take on some of the elemental power. As the spell to enslave the elements was prepared, the chain-like elemental energy was controlled by Nobundo and was clasped on Murmur's sonic arms within seconds.

Seeing that the invader was about to be enslaved by the elemental spokesperson chosen by themselves, the four elemental lords who had been uninterested just now immediately became excited.

They will not miss the opportunity to "kick the dog when it's down"!

The most important thing is that elements like Momo who destroyed their own world are also despised as "oathbreakers" in the "elemental lord circle". The other "lawful" elemental lords will talk about them for the rest of their lives for doing such a shameful thing of "destroying their entire family".

Yes, there is a distinction between "order" and "chaos" among the chaotic elements. Of course, only shamans can distinguish the mystery.

In short, under the constant beatings of the four elemental lords of Draenor and the continuous elemental enslavement spells cast by Nobundo, Murmur's resistance became weaker and weaker.

It also tried to use a large-scale elemental self-explosion to help itself escape from the material world, but just as it was casting the spell, a figure with golden wings wrapped around it leaped down from behind the flying spirit dragon, howling.

The brave new recruit Yrel filled his jeweled hammer with holy light in mid-air, and struck Murmur's forehead hard with the Judgment of Ashes technique taught by the saint.

Although this element was weak and there was no refreshing feeling when hitting it, this burst of holy light just interrupted the casting of the destruction element, making it unable to resist the enslavement from Nobundo.

Finally, amidst a crazy curse and wail, Momo's huge body suddenly dissipated in the air, and things fell to the ground with a clanging sound, including a miniature version of the tuning fork scepter it had held before.

That is its "seal".

Nobundo stepped forward and picked up the heavy "Shockwave Scepter" that could be used as a war hammer. He felt some unfamiliar inscriptions on it. It was obviously a man-made object, perhaps an elemental sacred object made by the people in the world destroyed by Murmur to restrain and fight against this madman.

Alas, a moment of silence for them.

They tried hard, but they couldn't defeat the malice of fate.

"What bad luck! My weapon is destroyed, just as the saints destroy their weapons every time they fight."

Irel, who was lifted to the ground by the breeze called by the wind elemental lord Karadios, stomped her feet. She looked at her warhammer with only the handle left in sorrow. Then, under the surprised gaze of Nobundo, she took out a demon elf-style halberd from her magic bag and waved it a few times on the spot.

She leaned on the Demon Spine Spear and sighed:

"It always feels weird to use something forged from this demon. It's too light and doesn't match the strength of us Draenei."

"Now is not the time to be particular, just make do with what you have."

Nobundo felt a little tired and a little exhausted.

He pretended not to notice that the projections of the four elemental lords behind him were fighting for the alien items "dropped" by Momo. This destroyer among the elements had been wandering in the starry sea for a long time, and anything it could carry was very valuable to the elements.

Sigh, let me say this again, the elemental lords in this rural area are so petty! Even the shamans feel ashamed of them.

"The Elemental Lord's troubles are solved. Let's go help repel those Sargerei traitors!"

Yrel, who had just made a "god assist", was still full of energy. She didn't seem to feel tired at all and she invited Nobundo to join her with great momentum. The projections of the four elements had now "divided the spoils". Naturally, they were all willing to help the Draenei here repel the demons because they had gained something.

After all, this is their mission and job to protect the world.

However, the light of the Fel Well shaped by the demon summons from the Tomb of Light never diminished, which made Archbishop Maladaar very worried. Until one moment, when the glow of the Fel Well that shot straight into the sky converged, he thought the warriors had completed the ritual to dispel it and was about to smile. However, the next moment, a wolf howl that seemed to resound throughout the world plunged the entire battlefield into even more extreme turbidity.

not good!

The archbishop's face changed drastically. Even from such a distance, he could feel the nauseating smell of sulfur and the cruel cold wind blowing in his face. The dazzling blood-red light was sweeping in from the horizon.

A demonic demigod has entered this world!
The giant black wolf was stepping into the land of Draenor with its strong and ferocious claws. Amid the long and desolate wolf howl of Lycanthos, those filthy wolf spirits between reality and illusion crossed the fel rifts that opened up everywhere in the sky and on the ground like a hunting pack, and rushed into this holy land in a mighty force.

The killer wolves are starving and coveting this weak world. The black "Withering Wolf Plague" has begun.

"We. We must"

Maladaar's first reaction was shock, followed by despair, but the courage that finally rose up made him stride out of the defense line. He looked at the Heart of Argus ring shining faintly in his hand, and thought of the promise he had just made to the Star Soul.

He knew it was time to prove his morality, beliefs and oath.

"Warriors of the Auchenai!"

The Archbishop raised his sword high and roared at the top of his lungs:

"Defend the Holy Land! Defend Auchindoun! Defend our people! The Light will prevail, follow me and charge!"

"Wait! Archbishop, look behind you!!!"

The injured lieutenant Tulani shouted from a distant watchtower. Maladaar turned around and saw the brilliant holy light rising along the roof of the Holy Land of Auchindoun, which looked dim under the dark clouds. It was like some kind of burning flame that was about to turn the entire holy land into a shining holy land.

When the light of the Soul Corridor reached its zenith, the golden light shot straight into the sky, tearing apart the dark clouds and casting the scorching midday sun on the battlefield. Amid the exclamations of the garrisons, the souls of the deceased who used to wander the holy land in confusion were now striding out of the cemetery where they should have rested in peace, like warriors going to war.

Each of those spirits seemed to be cast in light!

The scorching holy light burned on their spirits, and this was destined to be their last dedication to their people.

But none of the dead would refuse such honor, just as these soldiers who died for the people would not refuse to sacrifice their lives for their people a second time.

Leading them forward is the Vigilant!
He charged forward on his holy warhorse, the blazing sun pouring out like the dawn, causing the surrounding demons to scream and retreat. He scattered the Heart of Argus in his hand onto the battlefield and roared loudly:
"Warriors of the Draenei, our Argus watches over us, wear his emblem and follow me!

The demons under the Defiler have never witnessed the bravery of the decisive battle of Argus. They cannot understand why the demons were defeated by the Eredar, but I will make up for the lesson they missed today!

Come with me, kids!
Your Saints will let you experience how your fathers fought!
Scream the name of Argus and join me in bringing fear and death to the foolish demons!"

Diakum raised his battle staff high in his hand. As he swung the dazzling spear of light, the "Hand of Argus" aura was activated for the first time. At this moment, the warriors around him who wore the Heart of Argus felt the blessing and strengthening from the Star Soul.

The fear in their hearts was swept away.

Because their hometown is watching them, and because their fathers who fought under the same protection are with them!
The sentinel who was charging ahead looked at the huge black wolf roaring towards the sky amidst the blood-soaked light. Recalling a trace of pua from 20,000 years ago, he looked at the wailing staff in his hand with some regret.

This greedy thing is destined not to get what it wants today.

He sighed.

Alas, I awakened the Star Soul, but it wasn't my "old friend" Kazak who came.
Pity.

That bastard is lucky!
