Laing's blood dripped onto Amir's corrupted ground, and the corrupted ground burst into flames. The ground sizzled like boiling oil, bubbling and bubbling. The Gray Knight's blood was like concentrated sulfuric acid, burning a big hole in the ground.
The corruption within a dozen meters was expelled, but the ground was also burned, and the plants could not survive.
"Ugh …" Laing was speechless. The corruption of Chaos had faded, but Laing's power could not bring salvation to the forest. On the contrary, Laing's psionic purification was similar to Morgul's corruption to some extent. One was extreme distortion, mutation, and corruption, while the other was extreme order, light, and purification.
Both powers would lead the forest to destruction.
The Lake Fairy looked at Leon helplessly, "Now you know why I never thought of letting you try to purify and expel Azoloren's corruption, even though Azoloren is deeply affected by corruption. It's because of this. To the great forest, Azoloren's corruption is a parasite, a poisonous moss, a plague, a symbol of withering, withering, and a natural disaster."
"But to the forest, Laing, your power is not a friendly thing. Your psionic power is like fire, like the scorching sun, and like the most potent poison. It can destroy corruption, but at the same time, it will hurt the body and soul of the tree spirits and the forest."
"… I see." Clayon began to understand. "If that's the case, the forest essence is somewhat similar to the Chaos creatures to a certain extent?"
"Not the creatures of Chaos, but the creatures of the primordial soul realm before the metamorphosis of the subspace." The Lake Fairy said to Laing. "But in any case, your power is too bright, and the tree spirits will not like you. If they get too close to you, they will be ignited by your power and burned to ashes."
"Very well. I always thought that I specialize in Chaos and the undead." Laing smiled awkwardly. "Why is Aziloron as afraid of me as Chaos? Let's just call them Green Chaos. "
"Pfft, Green Chaos? The nature and danger level of these forest elves and forest treants is as disgusting and troublesome as Chaos. "Veronica cut in from behind in a sweet voice.
"In essence, yes." The Goddess of the Lake glanced at Veronica. The Goddess was a little annoyed that this female Speaker had interfered between her, Laing, and Suria. In the Goddess's opinion, only Laing and Suria could have a casual discussion with her.
"The essence of the Dryads is the same as Chaos?!" Suria knew that the goddess was unhappy with Veronica. Knight King quickly took over the conversation to divert the attention of the Lake Fairy. "Then under the continuous failure of the Great Guardian and the gradual disintegration of the Great Vortex …"
"The Weave outside is outside." The Goddess of the Lake gently shook her head. "Aziloron's Weave is a system of its own and is not connected to the outside world. This is to a large extent to avoid contact with Chaos and corruption …"
The knights set up camp in Amir. The light of the goddess and the power of the ten new gray knights shrouded the entire camp, protecting the knights and soldiers from the corrosion of the place. Even so, there were still hundreds of people who could not hold on and were quickly sent out of the forest.
Laing learned from the Goddess of the Lake that from a certain point of view, the essence of the forest spirits was the same as the demons of Chaos. Aziloron was more like a 'local network' with a 'firewall'. It relied on Aleil, the administrator, to debug and maintain the network to protect Aziloron's Weave from being corrupted by Chaos.
This was also the reason why the ancient Dryad Adanhu would eventually compromise. Unless they sacrificed themselves and perished together with the corruption of Chaos, the Dryads would not be able to expel and resist the corruption of Chaos on their own. The entire Wood Elf race was forever bound to a network that maintained the life and death of all creatures.
This was the 'Weave of Life of Aziloron' (Weave for short).
"Kunos and Yisha favored and loved this land very much, so they formed and created avatars, which were Laing and Aleil. The living beings continued to live. Every spring, Laing would be reborn, sacrificing himself on the eve of winter. Many centuries had passed, and Aleil gradually began to heal the wounds of the forest. As these things were going on, Adanhu and the other elders looked on with satisfaction. And under the guidance of the elves, the forest flourished, and the wildness was also controlled. "
Sitting in Laing's king's tent, the Goddess of the Lake explained to Laing, Suria, and his two female courtiers. "But their existence could not hide from the perception of Chaos for long. Soon, the Four Gods of Chaos discovered this pure land. But the 'firewall' that Yisha and Kunos created together with the Dryads was very strong, and Chaos' interference in the mortal world was limited. So they created an avatar stuffed with endless filth and horror, twisted and corrupted, and injected it into a mortal body."
"Morgul." Suria nodded, and the Knight King immediately understood. "A corruptor, an avatar of disorder and Chaos."
"Yes." The Goddess of the Lake sat on the main seat, with Morgiana standing behind her. The goddess was wearing a white, butterfly-winged, sleeveless floral dress. Under the dress, a pair of white silk feet stepped on a slightly moist, warm jade stool. This was Laing's gift. The white jade container was filled with Laing's psionic power, and a pair of fish-shaped high heels were placed on one side. The goddess seemed to be enjoying herself as she gestured for Morgiana to pour tea.
"Chaos has always been like this. It is not difficult to defeat Chaos, but it is difficult to resist the endless corruption." Laing understood. The original body was the first to understand the method of the Four Gods of Chaos. "Mortals are easily corrupted and become the lackeys of Chaos. Most of the time, Chaos does not need to do anything personally."
Horus was corrupted in the same way. During the Imperial Emperor's Great Expedition, the armies of the human empires were incomparably large and powerful. When the Four Gods of Chaos were busy fighting in the Chaos Realm, they would occasionally send out a few great demons and demon armies, but they were still no match for the original and new armies.
But it did not matter. It did not matter if they could not win. The corruption of Chaos was everywhere. You could win thousands of times, but as long as you lost once, victory would be gone in the blink of an eye. After the first wave of original bodies, Roga, Horus, Angran, and Forgen were corrupted for various reasons, the rebellion began, and hope died.
The relationship between the Orcs and the Wood Elves was like sheep and grass. There was no possibility of harmony and development.
The Goddess of the Lake explained seriously, "The Evil Gods know very well how to destroy Asoloron. It is difficult to succeed by blindly relying on brute force and force. It will also force the Dryads and Wood Elves to unite. But what if they change it to corruption and corruption? What if they turn the forest against itself? "
"Wait, Madam, are you saying that Morgul is also a part of the Great Forest of Asoloron?!" Suria was shocked.
"It is a part of the Weave. Morgul and Aleil are two sides of the same coin." The Goddess of the Lake nodded slightly. "If Aleil is a demigod representing life, vitality, prosperity, lush, and rationality, then Morgul is an existence representing withering, destruction, death, sensibility, and withering. They were originally in a state of opposition, similar to Asoyan's absolute rationality and Kane's absolute sensibility. The two sides are in opposition, but they will not fight to the death."
"The intervention of Chaos changed everything. With the help of the Four Gods of Chaos, the power of withering finally formed an incarnation. This is the Shadow Evil Beast King Morgul, the Lord of Skulls." Just as the Goddess of the Lake was about to continue, Queen Aleil of the Wood Elves flew into the tent with her head lowered. Behind her was her champion, Aralos, the Twilight Sisters, and Devenhill.
When Aralos saw Laing sitting in the main seat, he could not hide the eagerness, anticipation, and fire in his eyes. If it were not for the fact that Laing and Suria were sitting beside him, Aralos would have rushed forward.
Her son seemed to be doing well recently. It seemed that after tasting the taste of women, he had begun to truly become a man. It was just that he was always sandwiched between the two big sisters. She did not know if it was good or bad for Devenhill.
However, Laing was still very strict with Devenhill. His son was only a newlywed, so he relaxed a little. He definitely could not let the Twilight Sisters eat him up every day. When the time came, even if the Twilight Sisters stayed in Brittany, Devenhill would still have to stay by Laing's side to continue his studies.
"Laing, where are your million lions?" With the goddess present, Aralos did not hesitate to mock. "Why do I only see thirty to fifty thousand? Is this all you Brittany have? Then we might have to reconsider who should be the commander. "
"My lord, where are your 400,000 soldiers? This war is all up to you, Aislay. We are only here to support you. Of course, the main force is still Aislay. " Laing laughed and said, "Why don't you be the commander, Sir Hero?"
Aralos almost wanted to agree directly so that he could show off in front of Lilith. However, Queen Aleil of the Wood Elves immediately cast a sharp look at Aralos. At the same time, Aralos also immediately realized that he could not command the army under Laing's command, so he could only give up. "Aislay has already handed the commander's position to you, Laing. This is Aislay's trust in you. This is your honor."
"This honor is yours. Do you want it?" Laing retorted unceremoniously. He noticed that Aralos's eyes were fixed on the Lake Fairy all the time. Of course, he was unhappy.
"…" Aralos choked and couldn't say anything.
"Well, Laing, let Queen Aleil tell you about Morgul." The Lake Fairy did not want Laing and Aralos to quarrel. Aralos was still useful to the goddess. "You will be the one to deal with Morgul later. There is no harm in knowing more."
"Well, please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Laing was still respectful to Aleil.
"After the Winter of Sorrow and the Battle of Fate, the Great Forest Council of Azeroth was finally established. We and the Dryads coexisted in harmony in unity. The corruption was eliminated, and Aislay thrived. Everything became so beautiful together." Aleil nodded. "This lasted for about five hundred years."
"However, one night, all the Dryads in the Great Forest howled in pain. The Web of Life was constantly attacked, and a part of it was peeled off and detached. I knew that something terrible was born in this world."
"At first, I only knew that it was a power that represented withering, withering, and destruction. I regarded it as a threat to the forest like the Green Dwarves, Dwarves, Undead, and Chaos. So I sent scouts to investigate, but none of them returned successfully." Aleil shared everything she knew with Laing. "But there were still some words and small amounts of information that came back. It was a filthy existence."
"Morgul was born." Laing nodded.
"At that time, I didn't know how to destroy Morgul. I was too anxious and afraid because Morgul was the nemesis of my power and the destroyer of the Great Forest's Weave. So I turned into a spirit and appeared in front of Morgul. At that time, I thought I would see a very powerful Orc Orc King, a Howling Shaman, or a Chaos Demon. But I didn't." Speaking of this, Aleil gritted her teeth. The Queen's moth-like eyebrows twitched rapidly. "What I saw was only a foolish, weak beast without any intelligence. It was still rolling in the mud and the forest, and its body was emitting a foul smell."
"You didn't take it seriously and just treated it as an ordinary threat?" Laing understood. "Damn it, you're still in spirit form."
"That's right. I was too conceited. After casting a cleansing flame on this beast and watching it and its small tribe burn to ashes, I left." Aleil was in great pain. "But I was wrong. Not only did my purifying flame not destroy Morgul, but …"
"It absorbed your power!" Laing's eyes widened. The Sun King immediately deduced the terrifying result. "Not only did you not destroy it, you even helped it grow. You provided it with the best nourishment, complete and pure life force. You can be considered half a mother to it."
"Yes!" The veins on Queen Aleil's hand that was holding the elm staff were bulging. "After absorbing my power, it began to grow rapidly. More importantly, Morgul remembered me. It tasted my power and felt my essence. It longed to devour me and destroy the entire forest. After that, no matter how many times Morgul resurrected, its instinct would lead it towards Azeroth. You know the rest."
"I have to emphasize that any magic of the Wood Elves and Dryads is tantamount to nourishment and energy for Morgul. To defeat Morgul, we have to use physical means." Aleil concluded, "But just as you all know, any physical contact will be contaminated with corruption, a corruption that cannot be cured. Many Dryads have been contaminated, and they have even fought against us many times, saving Morgul on the battlefield."
"I understand." Laing heaved a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze to Aralos. "Then, how did you defeat Morgul previously?"
"Greatswords, spears, and arrows." Aralos was still very serious about business. The Wood Elf hero said, "Long weapons can avoid direct contact with the source of corruption. Arrows can't kill Morgul, but they can injure and restrict its movements."
"In addition, Laing, don't blame me for not reminding you. Morgul's power … is very strange." Aralos thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it. "Its power is different at different times. Sometimes, it is completely immune to magic. Sometimes, it is injured by magic. Sometimes, it summons a large number of Chaos Eggs. Sometimes, it doesn't summon them at all and only releases all kinds of Chaos and Beast magic. Sometimes, Morgul's body is enveloped by a halo, making it completely immune to physical damage. However, this halo is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When it is weak, it can be killed with a single shot.
At different times, it is weak. "" What you mean is that Morgul's power is varied, but it is different at different times. Furthermore, there seems to be a limit. "Laing understood what Aralos meant." It can't use all its abilities at the same time? "
"That's right, but it's impossible for Aislin to observe its changes." Aralos shrugged. "I'll assist you when the time comes."
"The purification ceremony will begin the day after tomorrow. Morgul will definitely appear near Amir when it senses my power. What you have to do is to destroy its soul and its core. You don't have to do the purification of the forest. Your power will burn the forest to ashes." Aleil gave her final instructions and left the tent.
Devenhill and the Twilight sisters stayed behind. Tomorrow, the Twilight sisters' 8,000-strong army would be commanded by Laing.
"My Lady and Queen, tomorrow, you will guard Queen Aleil's ceremony with Devenhill, Nestra, and Alohan," Laing said to the Lake Fairy.
Gray Knight's original body drew out Nemesis. "The knights and Aralos's Wood Elf army will be responsible for dealing with the Orc army."
"As for Morgul, my Nemesis is thirsty!"
