Chapter 54: Burning Shadow

(I unexpectedly discovered that there were a few lines of text that were not sent out in the previous chapter, so I have added them)

"I'm very happy. Show the wound."

"Is it...here?"

"Yes."

Onyxia glanced at Kikyo.

Kikyo asked in confusion: "What's wrong? We are all women, what are you afraid of?"

"Oh!"

Onyxia shook her hands and lay on the recliner to take off her pants.

Kikyo looked at her left buttocks seriously. Vashj was stunned for a moment and then looked at the green with a complicated expression.

How many years have I not seen this kind of energy? Ten thousand years? Have they returned to the world again?

"What...what kind of power is this?" Kikyo asked.

Vashj walked to the console and answered, "This is fel energy."

"Fel energy?"

"Yes, fel energy, a power generated by demons."

Vashj picked up an empty crystal and walked to Onyxia.

"I will use an ancient spell on you, which can extract the fel energy in your body into the crystal. The process will be a little painful, I hope you can bear it."

Vashj pressed the empty crystal on Onyxia's buttocks and released azure spells with both hands. Onyxia gritted her teeth tightly, sweating all over her body in pain, but she didn't make a sound.

A blue light flashed, and the spell ended. The fel energy on Onyxia's body had disappeared, and the empty crystal had turned green.

"Pah!" Vashj slapped Onyxia's buttocks. "It's white and clean again."

Onyxia glared and put on her pants.

Kikyo said, "The spell does look very old."

"It's been 10,000 years. This is a spell created when the demons came 10,000 years ago. I didn't expect them to come back again. They ruined my life..."

Vashj was talking about the past, Kikyo and Onyxia were listening, and none of the three noticed the green flash in Vashj's eyes... A

few days later, the news of the dragon appearing over Silvermoon City spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms, and kingdoms such as Stromgarde and Gilneas were also responding in their own ways.

Alterac was also responding, but some of theirs were different.

Ivan. Salosic hurried into the secret room, where King Aiden. Perenolde was reading letters.

"What important information have you received?" the king asked.

Ivan. Sarosic said: "Dragons appeared in Silvermoon City! Groups of dragons!"

"What?" Perenolde stood up in surprise.

"Are you talking about dragons? The kind that can fly in the sky, spit flames, and have wingspans that can cover the sky and the sun?"

Ivan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is that kind of dragon. The news has spread."

The king asked in a low voice: "What about Silvermoon City?"

"It hasn't fallen yet, but it will fall soon. Even if those mercenaries have dragons, they only have one, and the tribe has a group. Silvermoon City can't be defended no matter what."

The king spread out the map and thought for a while, then asked: "Terenas asked us to send some troops to support Lordaeron. What do you think about this?"

"What should we do if we send troops there?"

"How do you say?"

"Your Majesty, please look." Ivan walked over and pointed at the map. "After the tribe captures Silvermoon City, they can go south and attack us directly. If we don't defend with all our strength, Alterac will definitely fall."

"What do you think we should do?"

"Our country is mountainous, so we should prepare weapons and defend it in dangerous places."

"Are you talking about that Li Group?"

"Yes, it will take time for Silvermoon City to fall, but the mercenaries and elves of the Li Group will at least give us half a month. If we place an order today, they can deliver the new weapons in half a month."

The king nodded slightly and said, "You go to the side hall and wait first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ivan bowed and left.

Perenolde called his most outstanding general, Has, to ask for his opinions, and then wrote a list and handed it to Ivan. Salosic.

Next to the Hearthstone chain store is another small golden building. Every night, there are always various sounds of men and women flirting inside. There is no name on the sign, only a rose carved on it. People call it the Golden Rose. Ivan Salošić is now in there, talking in a low voice with a woman wearing a black hood and veil.

"Here are our purchase orders and payment, dear Miss Isa."

"Two thousand new weapons."

Isa's white fingers counted the payment.

"No problem, you will receive your weapons in half a month."

"Thank you, and by the way, dear Miss Isa, the troops of Alterac will not be sent to Lordaeron."

Isa nodded in appreciation and pointed to the room in the corner: "I wish you a good time."

Ivan rubbed his hands and smiled obscenely: "Then I'll leave first."

Isa nodded slightly, holding the wine glass and taking a sip.

Isa saw Ivan push open the door in the corner out of the corner of her eyes, and the two dwarf girls inside immediately greeted him...

Isa played with the empty wine glass for a while, walked out of the Golden Rose, and turned into the back door of the Alterac branch of the Hearthstone chain store next to it. After checking the code, she entered the secret room, took off her hood, exposed her sharp horns, and started to send a message. It turned out to be a ghost tribe named Isa.

"My people sent a message."

In the war room of Kozan Island, Kikyo delivered the news to Vashj.

"Not bad, I didn't expect this little noble to do so well."

Ivan. Salosic is a nobleman of Alterac. He is somewhat related to the king. His eldest brother-in-law's aunt's sister's mother is the wife of the current prince. Their family has been declining by their generation, and he himself is greedy for face and pleasure. After the opening of the Golden Rose, he has been a frequent visitor here. The Golden Rose is a place of entertainment above ground and a casino underground. Ivan is not only a bad gambler but also easily provoked. His family fortune was soon squandered and he owed a large sum of money to the Golden Rose (the Golden Rose provided a loan). Under the temptation of debt relief and special activities (a pair of dwarf sisters who are very good at serving people), Ivan willingly worked for the Golden Rose.

With the support of the Golden Rose, Ivan re-entered the upper circles of Alterac, and during the war, he used the intelligence they provided to successfully analyze the direction of the war, and demonstrated his "superb" negotiation skills to make the Li Group reopen trade with the royal family, which impressed King Perenolde and made him his confidant.

"How are you preparing?"

Kikyo replied, "Wuyou has already set out."

Vashj nodded and said, "First, transfer two thousand new weapons to the Hearthstone Inn in Alterac."

"What?"

"This plan is a bit dangerous. The master and I both believe that there is a certain probability that the war situation will get out of control. Once that happens, we will forcibly take over Alterac."
