Chapter 1302: Connecting clues, the eye of the end
Latest website address: [March 3, 5349]
[Today is the day of the birth of the Sacred Heart. The camp was filled with the devout prayers of the priests of the Sacred Heart. Unfortunately, just yesterday, the mountain bunker built with a lot of manpower and material resources was infiltrated and destroyed by another group of condemned people. , eventually leading to the bunker being sealed.
The fighting in the past few days has been quite unsatisfactory, and those guys who don't follow any rules are as disgusting as demons.
Fortunately, the trouble cuts both ways, and the demons' bone bunkers are also affected.
Praise the Sacred Heart, may the loving Sacred Heart bless Stratholme. 】

[The long-lost good weather, the evil ritual of the devil was shattered, and the sky and soil became pure again.
Good news came from the north. The seventeen demon legions there collapsed first and hurriedly withdrew back to their hometown through the passage from whence they came.
Those damn demons should stay in the sulfurous lava lake.
But our situation has not improved much. The demon army stationed here launched several raids led by the nine demons. The casualty ratio of the resistance has reached one-third. The current morale is low, and painful cries are echoing inside and outside the camp. Wail.
We got a new situation. The demons are building the Tower of the Dead. As long as the damn black tower is successfully completed underground, then we will not only face the demons, but also the bodies of our dead compatriots in the past.
Just like Mr. Richardson, the elite leader of the Silver Lion Knights who fell there ten days ago.
Jesús Tassi said that he saw Lord Richardson being besieged by a big demon and eventually died from a piercing through the chest.
Bad sign, bad sign.
I don't want to face the undead, especially the undead transformed by the corpses of my companions. 】

[Good news came from all over the continent. The demons lost. Although the multi-ethnic alliance did not win, too many good boys and girls died in the battle. Among the demon legions who resisted, unfortunately, The one in Azshara is one of the best.
We finally figured out what the secret weapon was in those baggage boxes that had been arriving recently.
It is a siege equipment containing demonic power, and its specific shape and parameters are unknown.
But it is said that even Stratholme's blessed towers cannot withstand a single blow.
This secret weapon was originally handed over to the larger demon army, but due to the interference of the Scourge, it fell into the hands of Azshara's demons.
Whatever the hell that is, we're going to destroy it.
Reinforcements from Stratholme are on the way, and victory is on our side. 】

[Sunny on April 13, 5349]
[The situation is not quite right. A group of Shadowfallen demons are fleeing eastward and are destroying villages and towns along the way. They may threaten Ryan Town. The Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance has sent elites to pursue them.
The Sacred Heart bless the town of Ryan, the Sacred Heart bless Olona...
Due to the gradual shortage of manpower, I was appointed as the captain of the new team.
This is news to be proud of, but I am not happy about it. 】
…
[Heavy rain on April 16, 5349]
[On a long rainy day, the battle is still going on. There are fewer and fewer demons, and there are fewer and fewer of our people.
Letters to Stratholme went unanswered, and there was no news of reinforcements.
Including the situation in Ryan Town, I know nothing about it now.
The legion commander decided to gather soldiers to launch a general attack on the demons, because the number of undead resurrected has increased recently.
The skins of former comrades hanging with rotten flesh became the devil's killing tools.
And the secret weapon seems to be being assembled. If we don't launch a general attack, after the demons assemble the secret weapon and revive more undead, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us without reinforcements.
Wall warriors never back down.
Tomorrow my team will be the vanguard, all carrying fire sticks, and the first task is to destroy the devil's secret weapon.
I heard they dug those things deep, but it doesn't matter, I'll dig them out.
If nothing else happens, I will write a hymn of victory in my diary tomorrow.
Stratholme must win, and the Wall Army must win! 】
(Try new features)
…
The diary ends abruptly here.
There are a lot of blank pages at the back without any content.
The final result can be imagined.
Hughie Ferguson and the rebel coalition then stationed in Azshara were unsuccessful.
Of course, the demons were also unsuccessful.
There are also some secrets involved, most likely related to the damned ones.
At this point, the battle history of the blood-burning demon army and the resistance near Azshara has been completed.
At the same time, it also explains the origin of the mountain bunker and the mountain station.
There was also the reason why the rebels later withdrew into the depths of the mine.
In addition, he also saw a familiar name in Hughie Ferguson's diary.
That is "Shadowfallen".
Speaking of Shadowfallen, we can't help but mention Bosband's Evans.
The guy who became half-demon due to the remnant soul of the Shadowfallen, couldn't suppress his desires, so he kidnapped young girls everywhere.
The diary mentioned that "a group of Shadowfallen are fleeing eastward and are destroying villages and towns along the way and may threaten the town of Ryan."
Combined with the fact that Ryan Town has been destroyed in the mission, it is not difficult to guess the subsequent ending.
It is very likely that Ryan Town was destroyed by the group of Shadowfallen Demons.
All the clues were connected again at this moment.
This line vaguely overlaps with the line of the Shadowfell represented behind Evans.
And there is an important clue from the diary.
That is, the demons in the Endless Continent have been defeated.
The situation was originally very good, and Stratholme was asked for support.
But then everything took a turn for the worse.
Not only did they not receive reinforcements, but the battle situation also became worse.
From here, Zong Shen saw several key elements.
First of all, the time for the demon invasion was not too long, maybe one year, maybe two years.
After all, when Azshara fell, Hughie Ferguson was still stationed in Ryan Town with the team.
Secondly, at the end of the war, the demons were the first to fail.
At that time, the indigenous people of the Endless Continent should have been dominant, but why did they abandon their land and huddle in a certain area later on?
This is not how a winner should be treated.
This may involve subsequent changes, including the loss of reinforcements and the tens of thousands of years of adjustment period after the change of era.
The outcome of the battle here is also intriguing.
It seems that it is mostly a lose-lose situation, with both sides winning, or in other words, both sides losing.
However, Hughie Ferguson still fulfilled his promise. He successfully fought his way here and was just a hair away from burning the baggage boxes that were suspected of containing "secret weapons."
However, Zong Shen did not see the corpses of his teammates nearby.
And neither Hughie Ferguson nor the demon who died with him was recovered.
This may mean that the fight here occurred simultaneously with the destruction of the Bone Bunker.
This is why Zong Shen said that neither side was the winner in that battle.
What happened later became clear.
The remaining rebels retreated into the mines of Azshara.
And there the final battle took place with the equally damaged demon.
Until the big devil was sealed in that strange space.
Finally, he was bumped into by Zong Shen more than 10,000 years later.
This line is basically connected in series.
There are echoes of everything from Azshara's resistance to the ruins deep in the mines, to the events of Bosbon Evans and the Shadowfell.
As for Stratholme, it was the main human city that was as famous as Azshara.
It represents the Stratholme Empire.
The five major human cities at that time were actually the capitals of the five major human empires.
At present, Zong Shen has only come into contact with Stormwind City and Stratholme.
The areas they governed at that time were different.
In comparison, this place is much closer to Stratholme.
You must know that the human race in the last era was not the protagonist of the Endless Continent.
Just an ordinary one among many ethnic groups.
Therefore, the territories of the five ancient empires were not as vast as today's human kingdoms.
Therefore there will be some conceptual differences.
Zong Shen put away the diary and looked at the skeleton.
After thinking about it, he asked Zoe to collect him and take him back to the ground for cremation.
The ruins of Ryan Town are only more than 20,000 kilometers away from the territory.
He was going to make a trip and complete the follow-up missions of Shadowfall Demon and the missions in Ryan Town.
When the time comes, try to bury Hughie Ferguson's ashes and his lover's remains together.
If the skeleton of the girl named Olona Lyle cannot be found.
That Zongshen buried Hughie Ferguson at the site of Ryan Town, which was regarded as allowing him to return to the place of his long-cherished wish.
Letting the dead into the grave should be regarded as a common plot among human beings on earth.
There are basically similar customs from the East to the West.
As for the demon's body, it has little recycling value.
The scales and claws were rotten.
And for some unknown reason, neither of these two skeletons became undead.
Zong Shen had to admit that the devil who could die together was considered a "man".
But Zong Shen is a human being after all and cannot empathize with the devil, so he naturally has no intention of collecting its corpse.
Putting away the diary, Zong Shen walked towards the luggage boxes.
He casually removed one of them, and after opening it, there was a weird mechanical part inside.
This part is not made of metal, but is supported by bones.
"Is this the devil's secret weapon?"
Zong Shen squinted his eyes and wondered in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the baggage boxes to mobilize the strategy modules.
Golden subtitles appeared, allowing him to see the name of the so-called "secret weapon".
【Parts of the Eye of the End 0132】
[Can only be viewed after the relevant attributes are assembled]
[Total number of parts required: 1099]
…
"The Eye of the End..."
Zong Shen repeated it in his mind.
The name is quite bluffing, and it does feel a bit like a secret weapon.
As for the actual combat effectiveness, I’m afraid it shouldn’t be underestimated.
The entire [Eye of the End] has 1099 parts.
In this warehouse, according to statistics from the strategy module, there are only 473 parts.
According to Hughie Ferguson's mention of the Demon being assembled.
It is estimated that the remaining parts should be scattered throughout the bone bunker.
To be on the safe side, Zong Shen asked more about the strategy module and was relieved after receiving a positive answer.
The parts of this secret weapon called [Eye of the End] are all intact.
Roughly scattered in three areas within the bunker.
There are two other areas, one is a warehouse similar to this one, where components are stacked.
Placed in another place is the assembled semi-finished product of [Eye of the End].
The three areas combined can get enough parts to piece together the [Eye of the End].
Due to the lack of information, Zong Shen was full of curiosity about this secret weapon.
However, the other two areas are on further branch roads.
There are many monsters along the way, covering a wide range of areas.
It would be better to gain control of the Tower of the Dead before fully developing it.
Many clues show that it is not easy to assemble this thing.
There must be some kind of limitation.
Otherwise, the demons wouldn't have taken so long to assemble.
First, give these parts to Tiezi to study.
See if you can figure out some tricks.
As for the remaining parts, we will wait until Zong Shen obtains all the [Demon King's Secret Order].
At that time, it will coincide with the plan to comprehensively develop the Bone Burial Ground.
Zong Shen waved his hand, and Zoe Babbitt immediately came forward to put away all these parts.
"Please point me to areas in this hall worth exploring."
To be on the safe side, he asked about the strategy module to prevent any omissions.
There are actually compartments in the hall above that hold basic supplies or treasure chests.
But there is nothing else in this warehouse.
So after collecting the parts of the [Eye of the End], Zong Shen and others followed the passage they came from and returned to the hall above.
…
Just as Zong Shen continued to explore the Bone Burial Ground, heading towards the Tower of the Dead and the center of the bunker.
In a wilderness more than 20,000 kilometers away.
The ground here is completely covered with yellow weeds.
The seemingly ordinary wasteland was actually the town of Ryan belonging to Stratholme more than 10,000 years ago.
Back then, Ryan Town had been destroyed by the Shadowfell Demon and turned into ruins.
In the end, it was buried deep underground due to the vicissitudes of life.
Because the burial was not strong, the ruins of the town have been largely preserved.
It's like an underground cave.
For the lords, this place is also a gift from the ancient era.
It’s a relic treasure waiting to be unearthed.
But for the people involved in the last era, this was the end of the world.
It is also the grave of old civilization.
The past is buried here, unable to find its home.
This is a kind of cruel eternal freeze-frame,
At this moment, inside the Sacred Heart Church deep in the ruins.
The statue of the Sacred Heart of Mother collapsed, and next to it was a coffin.
Just when Zong Shen was putting away Hughie Ferguson, the coffin that had remained unchanged for thousands of years suddenly trembled slightly.
Then holy light emerged from the gap between the broken statue and the coffin.
The shaking of the coffin immediately became more intense.
It's like something is trying to break free.
This holy light is somewhat different from the holy light emitted by those who believe in the Holy Light Lord in the mainland today.
The coffin shook for a long time before it stopped, and finally turned into a sad sigh.
The invisible underground returned to a state of silence.
