I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

Chapter 597 The oriole is behind

The crazy Vikus scared his men, and everyone was silent and dared not say a word.

The Naga warrior who was knocked to the ground spat out two mouthfuls of blood and groaned as he got up on his own.

Vikus suddenly raised the orange crystal that he had been holding tightly in his hand. Even in the dim water, the ominous light inside the crystal was extremely eye-catching, as if a miniature heart was beating evilly.

"Ha ha......"

The crazy laughter was conveyed through his shaking shoulders and ferocious facial expression.

As early as ancient times, the upper elves discovered this strange crystal from the south. After research, they found that this crystal actually came from a small border country on the southern continent of Kalimdor.

After investigation, they found that this crystal was condensed from the secretions of a strange insect-man, and it stored a large amount of energy, which aroused great interest among the upper elves who were fond of magic research.

Therefore, some specialized insect hunting troops headed south to snatch such resources. A large number of insect people were killed, and countless crystals were transported to various cities of the elves.

Eldaras is the central city where this citrine is stored nearby.

However, this matter was only known to the upper elves, that is, those nobles who were close to Queen Azshara. When they left the land when the sky collapsed and the earth broke, this secret sank to the bottom of the sea.

These topaz stones, which contain enormous energy, are buried underground in the ruins of Eldaras. If they were detonated, even the Titan himself would probably be killed.

Vikus was very confident. After all, this place was already rotten to the point where it couldn't get any worse.

Why not just take over the city as well? If we can get that Shandris Feathermoon and a red dragon, even if all our people are killed, this deal will still be worthwhile.

He had already begun to imagine the land above him crumbling in a devastating explosion, huge ancient elven trees being uprooted, and proud sentinels and ridiculous dragons being reduced to ash in the pure destructive energy.

And all of this will be created by him, Warlord Wikus!

From then on, his name would echo in the abyss and even gain the favor of Queen Azshara.

This extreme temptation intoxicated him.

Another subordinate was shocked by his frantic appearance and asked tremblingly, "General, do these stones really possess such terrifying power?"

Vikus withdrew his gaze from the void, and the fanaticism in his eyes subsided slightly.

He gently stroked the smooth and warm surface of the crystal.

"Stupid question. This isn't just any stone. It's an unstable energy body extracted from the insect people!"

He paused, enjoying the fear transmitted by his men, and continued, "As long as I detonate this master control core in my hand, a chain reaction will instantly trigger all nodes—BOOM!! The entire ruins of Eldaras, along with everything on it, will be blown skyward and sunk to the bottom of the sea! No force can stop it!"

Vikus chuckled coldly a few times and said no more. He swung his thick snake tail and led several trusted men to quietly float up and leave the icy underground waters.

The place where they surfaced was a huge underground cave.

Damp, stagnant, with a strong smell of mold and some indescribable smell of decay.

Before my eyes was an astonishingly wide passage, with huge, smooth rock walls on both sides. Ancient elven carvings could be vaguely seen on them, but most of them had been blurred by erosion by time and moisture, and were covered with a thick, slippery layer of dark moss and scale.

The top is arched, tall and dark, with cold water droplets seeping and dripping from above from time to time, making a monotonous and anxious "tick-tick" sound in the dead silence, echoing in the deep corridor.

The ground was paved with huge stone slabs, cold and hard, but the cracks were filled with mud and water, making a slight "crunching" sound when stepped on.

This place looks like a forgotten ancient air-raid shelter or a huge underground fortification.

It was silent and cold, like the throat of a sleeping giant beast, filled with an ominous aura.

Without stopping, Vikus made a gesture and led his men along the deep corridor, swimming forward silently and swiftly. Their scales flickered with a cold light in the faint light deep in the passage, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the corner.

A moment later, the water surface they had just left began to shake gently again, and ripples spread out silently.

First, a small, moist black nose emerged from the water and sniffed carefully. Then a round, furry seal head emerged, and a pair of big eyes looked around alertly - it was Green Shadow.

Immediately afterwards, behind her, Alvin's head broke out of the water. He shook his head violently, splashing cold water and greedily inhaling the air.

Almost at the same time, there was a slight "splash" sound on the water on the other side.

A tall female mage with long azure hair also floated up gracefully.

Her robes looked gorgeous even when soaked in water, and there were subtle fluctuations of arcane energy around her, quickly dispelling excess moisture.

Alvin couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained to the seal next to him in a low voice, "It was all planned out perfectly. You and I, quietly and perfectly sneaking in. What happened?"

He glanced at the Blue Dragon Mage next to him,

"This noble Blue Dragon lady has become obsessed with me! She's like a powerful plaster! I can't get rid of her no matter how hard I try!"

The Blue Dragon Mage's eyes were still full of confusion. She used her hand to lift a strand of wet blue hair from her forehead. Seeing Alvin looking at her, she just looked at him silently.

Alvin was choked and speechless, and could only sigh helplessly.

He turned to the green shadow who had transformed back into a night elf and was wringing the water out of his hair. His expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"Did you hear what they said just now? I didn't expect that bastard Wikus would have such a vicious plan!"

"What language is that? I don't understand it. It's not Kaldorei. We can't speak underwater."

Green Shadow shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand at all.

"That guy doesn't care about the lives of his own people. He just wants to blow General Shandris and all of us up in the air! The battle up there is just bait! The real killer is the crystal bomb stored here!"

Alvin explained it briefly.

This golden finger that can understand languages ​​of all races is really a great help. Fortunately, Green Shadow is traveling with him. She doesn't think too much about why Alvin can understand the Naga language that she can't understand. Miracles are too common for him.

The usual gentleness on Green Shadow's face disappeared, replaced by deep shock.

She nodded quickly.

"This Naga is crazy... He's absolutely insane! But I can't allow it! I can't let him detonate those crystals!"

She looked toward the passage where Wikus had disappeared. "We must stop him, no matter the cost."

"Of course, Green Shadow, please turn into a cheetah and lead us to catch up with him!"

Alvin wiped the water stains from his face one last time, and his eyes became sharp again.

Like a true knight, he silently jumped onto the back of Green Shadow, who had transformed into a cheetah, and reached out to pull the Blue Dragon Mage up.

Green Shadow took a deep breath, dived into the shadows, and transformed into a large black cat that almost blended into the darkness. She jumped up lightly and nimbly, using the cat's extraordinary vision and hearing to scout from above. Her eyes flashed with a faint green light in the darkness.

Carefully sneaking towards the direction where Vikus disappeared.
