The moment Ulgineis's soul entered the devourer of gods, Gale felt as if a gaze was fixed on him. But very quickly, that feeling dissipated without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
However, Gale couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. That extremely dark sensation told him who had just been watching him.
Yogg-Saron!
But if Yogg-Saron had already seen him, why did he only glance once?
Gale couldn't figure out the reason and looked at Cenarius, who was anxiously running over.
"Gale, you were too reckless!" Cenarius said gravely, "You don't even know what Ulgineis is, yet you dared to forcibly devour his soul. Do you know how terrifying the being behind him is?"
Gale shook his head, holding up the devourer of gods, "Lord Cenarius, I don't know what existence is behind him, but its power can be used by me."
"You are truly audacious!" Cenarius looked at the evil energy emanating from the devourer of gods, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Snap!"
Gale closed the devourer of gods, casually manipulating the Loa God power on it to temporarily seal the devourer of gods.
"Of course I know this is a dangerous act, but it's also a process of understanding the enemy. Lord, with our current strength, we cannot defeat all enemies. Therefore, we must be prepared for anything, including intelligence and improving our strength by any means necessary."
"You are incorrigible!"
Cenarius was infuriated. If Gale weren't an ally, he would definitely teach Gale a lesson.
Gale also didn't want to completely offend Cenarius, "Lord, the reason we allied is to complement each other. You choose to be conservative, so I naturally choose to be aggressive. This way, even if something goes wrong on my side, you can still pull me back. And if you encounter a powerful enemy, I can also help you eliminate them."
"Nonsense!"
Cenarius was still a little angry, but he also felt that Gale's words made some sense.
However, he still said, "If you turn into a demon, I will not show mercy."
"Of course!" Gale smiled as he put away the devourer of gods, looking at the Tauren and Drogbar who were climbing the mountain at the foot of the cliff, "Lord, let's go down first! Lest they have to climb up."
Cenarius saw that he was impervious to reason and didn't bother to waste any more words with him. He led the way down the cliff and reunited with everyone.
"Lord Cenarius, Lord Gale, where is the Dark Lord?" Turok asked anxiously.
"Ulgineis has been killed by Lord Cenarius!" Gale announced loudly.
When the Tauren and Drogbar heard this, they immediately cheered. During this period, they suffered from Ulgineis's bullying. Many of their already small number of clansmen were killed, and everything in the path of the spider army was destroyed. Whether it was the Tauren's prey or the Drogbar's mushrooms, all were devoured by the endless spiders.
For a long time, they might have to rely on the food Gale sold to survive.
The Kaldorei also celebrated, but seeing the state of Gale and Cenarius, they had great doubts about Gale's words. They were too familiar with Gale; he would only give the greatest honor to others when he gained a practical benefit.
Otherwise, Gale would definitely say that he and Cenarius had killed Ulgineis together.
With Ulgineis dead, the allied forces temporarily retreated to Thunder Totem. The war was won, and there were still many things to resolve.
Firstly, the matter of the Drogbar wanting to join the alliance. Turok admired the powerful strength of Cenarius and Gale and wanted to find two strong patrons for the Drogbar to prevent Ulgineis's incident from happening again. At the same time, he also wanted to purchase food from Gale to ensure the Drogbar's future life would not be affected.
Secondly, the issue of Highmountain's joint defense. Highmountain was too close to Dragonblight. According to Cenarius's intelligence, the spider city, Ahn'Qiraj, was only a little over ten days' journey from Highmountain. Moreover, there were two mountain paths from Highmountain to Dragonblight, both of which could become routes for another spider army attack.
The matter of the Drogbar joining the alliance was easily approved. In the underground cave war, the Drogbar showed strong combat power. With the addition of these powerful warriors and underground worms, it would be beneficial for defending the underground caves.
The issue of Highmountain's joint defense became the focus of discussion.
Finally, based on the conditions of the mountain paths and cave passages, Gale identified three defensive routes.
The first route was Ulgineis's attack route, which passed through a long valley and then split into two paths. Therefore, a joint camp was set up on the cliff near the fork, with Turok as the commander.
Of the two fork roads, one led to Skyreach.
One passed by the cliff where Ulgineis died, which everyone called Doomed Cliff, meaning the Dark Lord's doom. Both of these roads eventually led to Thunder Totem. So Moraine was appointed commander, also overseeing the Skyreach and Doomed Cliff camps.
The second route was in the western valley, and it also split into two paths. One led to the river bend, which could bypass to the south of Thunder Totem. One led to Val'sharah, directly to Andu Talla. So this route was defended by the Kaldorei, and Gale set up a Sharpshooter Camp east of the fork, with Salador Sunstrider as the commander.
Furthermore, to prevent the spider army from crossing the high mountains, Gale also built a Mage Tower in the western valley of the fork to monitor the valley and the fork, to prevent Val'sharah from suffering military disaster.
Cenarius was temporarily alone, but he also promised that as soon as he had available personnel, he would certainly dispatch them to various camps.
The three-party alliance became a four-party alliance, and various camps had also been established. Gale also promised to guarantee their food supply until the food crisis of the Tauren and Drogbar was resolved.
At the same time, the four forces also needed to strengthen communication and exchange resources.
The Drogbar were skilled in mining and could provide ore to the alliance. The Tauren were skilled in hunting and could provide furs. The Kaldorei were skilled in magic and could provide magical materials and food. Cenarius was skilled in healing spells and could recruit some apprentices from the other three parties.
The supplementary alliance benefited all four parties, but the greatest benefit definitely went to the Kaldorei.
The center of the four forces was Andu Talla, and since the Drogbar and Tauren had single products, and Cenarius was alone, the dominant position of the alliance would be the Kaldorei for a long time.
As the lord of the Kaldorei, Gale had status. Coupled with the Hammer of Kaz'goroth, he also had practical benefits. Next, as long as he thoroughly studied the Hammer of Kaz'goroth, crafting divine artifacts in the future should be much simpler.
