After dealing with Ragnaros, everyone returned to Nordrassil to discuss the reconstruction of Redridge Mountain.
Redridge Mountain had been covered by a layer of magma, which turned into stone after cooling. The current Redridge Mountain is completely unsuitable for vegetation growth, and restoring its ecology will be very difficult. However, this matter will be Nalarex's headache, as King Gale has already assigned him this task.
Only he can do it; after all, this is a Druid's strength and responsibility.
The task of restoring the mining area was given to Sethonis.
He had thoroughly understood the technology on the war machines, and his Golem technology had reached a very high level, allowing him to create some large-scale machinery.
For more than twenty years after the war, he had been engrossed in magical engine technology, using arcane crystal to create powerful magical engines. With the magical engines installed, large machines possessed super strong power, but the energy consumption was too high.
Fortunately, the Kaldorei Empire possesses the energy of an entire world. Metri has been collecting the Arcane Energy of the aluneth world all these years to meet the needs of the Kaldorei Empire.
Gale also needs to use this Arcane Energy to restore the Reality Gem. The upcoming battles will also require the Reality Gem.
"Is there any news from Tydasshid?"
After sending everyone away, Gale finally asked Maiev.
Maiev walked over and massaged his head, "Tydas went to the Eastern Continent. The message received yesterday said he was on a snowy mountain, and Deathwing fled south. I've checked the magic map; he should reach the Redridge Mountains in about three to five days."
He ran that far?
Gale frowned slightly, "How has Deathwing been acting?"
"He doesn't engage Tydas at all, as if he's still trying to control the chaotic energy within his body," Maiev said. "I've already warned Tydas to be careful. Tydas isn't a reckless person and will be wary of Deathwing's schemes."
"Keep a close eye on Tydas's movements."
After a warning, Gale felt a little relieved: "Next, I need to deal with the Forge of Origination. In about ten days to half a month, another expedition will be launched. Consecutive battles have stretched our forces thin, so during my absence, we need to recruit some new soldiers."
Maiev: "I'll handle this…"
As the two discussed their upcoming plans, a battle was unfolding on the Eastern Continent.
Deathwing fled to what would later be southern Loch Modan, with Tydasshid leading the Storm Dragon Knight Regiment in pursuit behind him. The general of the Storm Dragon Knight Regiment was Ranger General Navoli. As a veteran who had followed Gale for many years, his loyalty and ability were beyond question.
The Storm Dragon Knight Regiment's first battle was against a powerful foe like Deathwing, but he remained calm. Although Deathwing was powerful, he was currently injured, and the chaotic energy within him could still be felt from such a distance.
While there might be a suspicion that Deathwing was faking it, it would be impossible to maintain such a chaotic facade all the way. Even a healthy Deathwing wouldn't dare to do that, as it would turn a fake into reality.
After Deathwing went mad, the Dragon Legion imprisoned all the black dragons. Without the support of other black dragons, Deathwing was isolated and helpless.
In such circumstances, Deathwing could only truly be fleeing.
The further they pursued, the slower Deathwing became, and the Storm Dragon Knight Regiment closed in.
"Fire!"
Navoli gave the order, and the Dragon Knights immediately took out their Sea Monster Killers and hurled them at Deathwing.
Hundreds of meteors struck Deathwing, most of them deflecting off his source ingot armor. Only one Sea Monster Killer hit the wound created by Gale.
But even that single Sea Monster Killer caused Deathwing immense pain. The chaotic energy he had struggled to maintain throughout his journey, hoping to stabilize, erupted once again.
"Boom—"
Like an explosion, Deathwing lost his balance and, like a crashing plane, plunged headfirst into a mountain.
"Boom—"
Deathwing crashed into the mountain, collapsing a portion of it. Enduring the intense pain, he climbed to the summit, leaped up, and continued flying south.
"Don't let him escape!" Tydasshid urgently ordered, mounting his Storm Dragon and pursuing.
"Wait…"
Navoli was about to stop him, but Tydasshid had already flown far away. He could only fly to his second-in-command, Lamar Starlight, "Do you see that large gate on the mountainside? Take some men and investigate it."
Lamar then noticed that where Deathwing crashed, a huge gate had appeared. From the architectural style, it seemed to be a Titan facility. Recalling King Gale's order to search for Titan Ruins, Lamar knew this was an opportunity to earn merit.
This credit should have belonged to Navoli, but Navoli had to follow His Royal Highness, so it fell to him.
Thinking of this, he said with delight, "I guarantee the mission will be completed."
"Be careful, don't let anything go wrong," Navoli reminded him.
Lamar solemnly said, "Don't worry, Uncle Navoli."
He was Navoli's wife's nephew, which is why Navoli allowed him to join the Storm Dragon Knight Regiment. It was also through his own efforts, achieving first place in the assessment, that he became the regiment's second-in-command.
This was his first time leading a team alone, so he was inevitably a bit excited. However, he remembered Navoli's reminder and approached the gate very cautiously.
Just as they were landing, the gate slowly opened. A group of mechanical gnomes emerged from within, warily observing their surroundings.
Lamar had seen what mechanical gnomes looked like in the Ally Compendium, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although these mechanical gnomes might not be from the same faction as the mechanical gnomes of Ulduar, at least negotiation was possible.
He told the others to remain vigilant, then slowly descended to the ground and said to the wary mechanical gnomes, "Greetings, I am a Kaldorei, from the Kaldorei Empire…"
The mechanical gnomes listened to Lamar's words and chose to temporarily trust him.
"What just happened? We heard a loud noise."
"We were just pursuing a powerful black dragon," Lamar recounted the pursuit of Deathwing, then said, "I apologize for disturbing your secluded life, but our King has commanded us to search for Titan Ruins and ancient allies, which include you mechanical gnomes."
"Allies? We haven't formed any alliances," the mechanical gnome said warily.
"Indeed, but we have allied with Mimiron."
"You're lying, Mimiron has been killed," the mechanical gnomes immediately raised their firearms and aimed at Lamar.
Lamar spread his hands, indicating he had no hostility: "Your information is outdated. Mimiron is not dead; the mechanical gnomes of Ulduar transferred his soul into a giant mechanical gnome body. Loken, who harmed him, has been killed by our King Gale, and the current leader of Ulduar is Algalon…"
"Algalon has descended??? "
The mechanical gnomes cried out in surprise, then turned and ran through the gate, "Quick, tell Azadas this good news."
That's right, this gate was the gate to the Titan Ruins, Uldaman.
