Taking in bear monsters and giant bears as vassal races of the Alliance was purely Duque's impromptu idea.
But it was also in line with the general trend of the world.
This world didn't have the technology to fight cloning wars. Among the mainstream races, even humans and orcs, who had the shortest lifespans, needed more than ten years to produce a new generation.
The next [Legion Strikes] would probably be less than ten years away.
To meet the needs of the upcoming war, the most basic method was to accept more large intelligent races.
Just like in the beginning of World of Warcraft, the Alliance and the Horde each had only four races. In the end, both sides desperately expanded the number of races and developed more classes.
Brainless Roar's method of attacking neutral races was, in a sense, cutting off his own path of retreat.
Thrall had seen through this. Unless it was a race that couldn't be negotiated with, he wouldn't do anything to exterminate the intelligent races.
The orcs were indeed powerful, but if they destroyed a large intelligent race this year and another the next year, what would the other races that joined the Horde think?
Duque silently watched Brainless Roar court death and then waited for the right time to come …
That was a bit off topic, but at this stage, Duque had to deal with the demigod bear brothers first.
Led by Ao Laing and his sister, Duque came to the Giant Rock Hills northeast of the Grizzly Hills.
This was a very remote place. When they attacked the Scourge Army, the Moon Creek Brigade under Stormwind was stationed on the open land southwest of this place. After Arthas' death, the camp was empty.
Northrend was very big, no smaller than the Eastern Kingdom Continent or the Kalimdor Continent. It was such a big continent. Excluding the Dragon Clan's territory, it was a joke for more than 50,000 Alliance troops to control a new territory of millions of square kilometers.
Even the so-called occupation was just a symbolic one.
If any major forces were to attack, the Alliance Army would only retreat to the Fearless Fortress and Utgard Castle, which were vital areas, and wait for reinforcements.
The Giant Rock Hills weren't a place patrolled by the Alliance's sentinels, so it was normal that the Alliance didn't know about it.
As soon as he stepped on this hill that looked like a small plateau, Duque heard earth-shaking roars.
That was not the roar of one or two Giant Bears. It was the roar of thousands of Bear Monsters and Giant Bears.
The exaggerated sound waves seemed to have materialized. Even with the explosive tonnage of the two giant bears behind him, they couldn't help but stagnate in front of this terrifying sound waves.
Duque knew something was wrong with one look.
On this small plateau, there was a huge basin similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum. It was at least two kilometers in diameter at the top and no less than one kilometer at the bottom. The entire slope of the basin was filled with bear monsters and giant bears. They were like spectators in an arena, roaring loudly and cheering for the battle between the two behemoths in the arena.
Obviously, the two giant bears that were the size of hills were the brothers Usok and Usor.
Mortals would not be able to see anything, but as a demigod who was adept at controlling the elements, how could Duque not see the blood-colored web in the air? It extended out from a shattered, pitch-black space and covered the basin below.
At the bottom of the basin, it looked like a patch of green grass.
But Duque could see that the raging fire elements were like cirrus clouds in the stratosphere, churning and surging.
If one looked at the bottom of the basin, one would see that the shadow elements that reeked of blood had formed a whirlpool. It glowed with an ominous light while a huge and complicated magic formation that covered the entire bottom of the basin slowly rotated in an anticlockwise direction.
What was even more terrifying was that this dark magic formation was spread out in a place that mortals could not see. Under the feet of at least thirty thousand bear monsters, it stretched out in all directions, extending into the endless darkness.
Yet, not a single bear monster or giant bear noticed the abnormality here.
They continued to roar in a frenzy, completely unaware that their life force had been soundlessly extracted, forming a mysterious glow in the air before being absorbed into the evil magic formation.
"How extravagant!"
Even Duque had to admit that the evil god N 'Zoth was really creative.
The world was too big. No matter how strong the Alliance was, no matter how many experts there were, there was a limit to how many places they could take care of.
After failing to attack the alliance's important territory, he switched to 'encircling the city from the countryside'. He accumulated strength in a corner that the alliance could not see, and when necessary, he would throw out all his cards in one go to crush the alliance.
Duque could not help but recall that in history, be it Deathwing or Savis, even if they had knelt down, N 'Zoth had never jumped out to fight when his underlings were slapped in the face.
In Azeroth, Enzos was definitely the most cunning.
"Lord Marcus!?" The big white bear, Ao Laing, asked nervously.
Duque watched this scene quietly. Around him, the light of the Magic Net silently lit up, making his cheeks purple. If not for Duque's human appearance, he might have been mistaken for a Draenei.
[Atiesh] and [Song of Light and Shadow] were clenched in his left and right hands respectively. His magic staff was pointed at the ground, and the tip of the sword drooped down. A golden line extended from the tip of the sword to the ground. The holy golden light was already overflowing, dripping drop by drop on the Boulder Hill's grassland. Every drop of golden light flickered faintly.
Three different colored elements flowed in Duque's eyes.
Blazing fire elements.
Tranquil and serene frost elements.
Mysterious and unfathomable arcane elements.
Duque raised his right hand and flipped his wrist lightly. The atmosphere around him suddenly changed.
[Blizzard]!
Any Morning Star Wizard could cast this spell.
However, when a demigod used it, it was a true blizzard that affected the entire world.
The temperature suddenly dropped!
The frenzied bear monsters subconsciously looked at the sky that had been incomparably clear just a moment ago.
At this time, the huge icicles as thick as a man's arm had already fallen from the sky. These icicles were like a sudden meteor shower, but each icicle was shining brightly under the golden light.
Duque's short hair suddenly became long.
It was not that his hair had inexplicably grown long, but that every strand of his hair had become a channel for him to communicate with the elements of heaven and earth. They extended from his head and connected to the void.
It looked as if Duque had suddenly turned into a handsome man with long blue hair.
Duque floated to the edge of the basin, ignoring the tens of thousands of bear monsters that were looking at him. He smiled and looked at his bear brothers at the bottom of the basin, countless green runes falling from his eyes like a waterfall.
It was a final inspection of his demigod bear brothers, who were likely to become his new underlings.
