Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

The Kingdom of Ankahet is an underground kingdom established by the Nerubians. They have been living underground in Northrend for tens of thousands of years. Most of the time they spend their time quietly watching the changes on the ground, and occasionally emerge from the ground to expand their power.

It was the private army led by one of the crypt lords who fought against the upper elves of Sleeping Moon Garden. After being beaten, he retreated into the ground in embarrassment and never came out again.

Thousands of years have passed, the original crypt lord has long been turned into ashes, and his descendants also died in the previous undead invasion. The losses were heavy.

In fact, they also suffered from not understanding the command system of the undead.

According to Andrea's understanding, no matter how strong Ner'zhul's mental power is, it is impossible to really invest his own spirit on every undead. In the long run, he will be schizophrenic sooner or later.

The ones directly connected to him are only the senior undead officers who command the battle on the front line, and the officers manage the undead non-commissioned officers and soldiers below level by level.

Just like the Qiraji that the night elves defeated before, Ner'zhul, with his powerful spiritual power, paradoxically simulated the hive mental network of the Old Gods.

In other words, as long as the officers in the undead team fight fiercely, the undead who have lost their command system will become stupid zombies and skeletons, and they will no longer have the tacit understanding when they cooperated in combat before.

The number of nerubians that escaped from the ground was very small, including only tens of thousands of civilians and workers. Compared with the former Ankahet Kingdom, which had a population of over one million, it was almost dead in name only.

"Trouble..."

Even with a discount for the battle damage, Ner'zhul now has hundreds of thousands of Nerubian undead worms as his foundation, among which there are at least 100,000 worms capable of fighting. Difficulty increases geometrically.

Apparently Ner'zhul himself thought the same way. Under the excavation of the nerubians, he finally moved out of the cramped ground, blatantly placed the large ice block he parasitized on a perpetually frozen glacier, It is named the Frozen Throne.

Although I am wary of these insects that once belonged to the ancient gods, considering the underground passages extending in all directions in the Kingdom of Ankahet, these insects are still useful if they do not want to be attacked by Ner'zhul's undead insects from the ground .

Anubrekhan is the only surviving leader-level crypt lord among the nerubians, and according to the nerubian tradition, he automatically became the king of the kingdom of Ankahet.

Andrea probably had an idea of ​​Ner'zhul's strategy from Anub'brakhan's intermittent sobs.

Anubrekan originally planned to follow the last order of the former king Anub'arak and lead his people to take refuge in the last fortress under the Borean tundra.

But the undead seem to have known their plan a long time ago, and arranged for the undead worms to intercept them in advance. Anubrekan could only make the team turn around urgently, resist the pursuit of the undead worms, and rely on the accumulation of life to spread the night elves in the sleeping area. The seal of the hole on the north side of Moon Garden was broken.

When Andrea arrived, the defenders of Sleeping Moon Garden had already engaged in battle with the undead worms that had been chased out from the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't break through the night elves' defense in a short time, Ner'zhul ordered the bugger officers to hide back along the entrance of the cave, and set up tight defenses along the way.

Anubrekhan learned of Andrea's identity from other night elves, and he knelt down on the ground with multiple jointed limbs and long legs at the same time, begging Andrea bitterly in a low posture.

"Chairman Moon Shadow! Ankahet Kingdom is willing to become a subsidiary of the Night Republic. I only hope that the Night Republic can send troops to recover our former capital as soon as possible."

"There is a lair hidden deep in the Ankahet dungeon that Anub'arak does not know. If the night elves can help the nerubians hide the eggs in it, I promise in the name of King Ankahet that I am willing to Become a vassal of the Night Republic and never betray!"

The batch of worm eggs that Anubrekan said was urgently transferred after Anub'arak's death, and was not recorded in the memory of the undead crypt lord whose mind was controlled, so that he could survive.

But now the undead worms have completely occupied the entire underground kingdom. If they don't seize the time to regain the territory, Ner'zhul will discover this hidden worm nest sooner or later.

For Anubrekan, this lair containing hundreds of thousands of eggs is the last hope of the nerubians.

If there were only a few thousand fighters and tens of thousands of non-combat bugs left, even if there were no interference from external factors, the nerubians would disappear in the long river of history sooner or later.

Andrea looked directly at Anubrekan's eyes, which were small compared to his body, and the spiritual spells began to read the superficial thoughts of the big bug.

Anubrekhan felt the spiritual probe intruding into his consciousness, and his whole body couldn't help shaking, but he didn't make any follow-up actions, and still lay down on the ground, letting Andrea scan his thoughts.

"At least you can't see any haze from your superficial consciousness. You really want to take back your kingdom."

Withdrawing her spiritual power, Andrea said meaningfully, "I don't know what your real thoughts are deep in your heart, but seeing that you are willing to abandon all the loyalty of returning to the country, I decided to trust you for the time being."

"Nawaz."

Sandara military commander Nawaz, who had been standing by the side waiting for orders, hurriedly bent down and replied, "Yes."

"Send troops into the underground kingdom as soon as possible, drive the undead worms out of the Dragonbone Wilderness and the Moonsong Forest, without leaving any hidden dangers behind."

"yes!"

Ankahet, the capital of the Nerubians, is just under the Moonsong Forest, next to the world tree Andashir with well-developed roots.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the inhibitory effect of the World Tree that the Nerubians have been freed from the control of Yogg-Saron for thousands of years, and they have long since decided not to obey the orders of the ancient gods.

Andrea couldn't tolerate Ner'zhul's worms running around under the night elves' sphere of influence. Once the undead decided to attack, the entire city of Sandara was almost completely undefended.

Instead of relying on the passive defense of the nerubians, who are already very few in number, it is better to take the initiative to drive the undead worms out of the night elves' sphere of influence, and let Anubrekan lead the nerubians back to their capital to multiply.

The thankful Anubrekan decided to follow Nawaz's Northland Legion into the underground insect nest as a guide.

Andrea patted the Dark Empire Sword on his waist and asked in his heart, "How is it? Is this guy telling the truth?"

"Hey~ At least for the time being, I don't see any objection."

Xalatas said with a sly smile, "It seems that Yogg-Saron is too concerned about corrupting Ulduar's titan guardian. It's interesting that the worms under her command actually deviate collectively."

If Yogg-Saron didn't loosen his control over the Nerubians, even with Andashir's suppression, it would be very difficult for these northern bugmen to escape her control.

"But you'd better be vigilant."

Xalatas solemnly warned, "After all, these worms have been controlled by Yogg-Saron. Once the worms come into contact with her again, the severed connection between the two parties will likely be quickly restored."

"I know."

Andrea nodded sternly and said, "Nerub bugs are mainly used to target undead bugs. I won't let them go beyond the range of Moonsong Forest to continue to the storm cliff, so as not to cause complications."
