Merciless flames fell into Korevis, igniting the entire area.
The resin of Amber Trees is a combustion aid, and once it catches fire, it can make the flames spread rapidly.
Only those Amber Trees whose resin had just been harvested burned less intensely.
Countless Mantis Shrimp also died under this rain of fire, and many of the Mantis Shrimp Warriors who maintained order were also killed by the flames.
In such a critical situation, the Mantis Shrimp Warriors came to the Amber Resin Seal Chamber and awakened the Hero within.
Warwick slowly opened his eyes, only to see a fiery red landscape.
"What… is this…?"
"Fire!" the Mantis Shrimp Warrior quickly said, "Great Warwick, we are under a powerful attack."
Warwick walked out of the Seal Chamber and only then realized the seriousness of the situation.
He immediately took over command, "Immediately scout and find out where the enemy is."
It was his first time seeing such powerful magic; if the spellcaster couldn't be found, Korevis might face destruction.
"Everyone, move! First, put out the fire!"
"Don't dodge anymore; dodging won't make you live longer!"
Mantis Shrimp command relied more on infrasound; the reason he shouted was mainly for the Mantis Shrimp Warriors to hear.
Before completing the coming-of-age ritual, Mantis Shrimp were no different from insects; only after the ritual were they considered intelligent life.
Intelligent life, naturally, required intelligent methods of command.
Soon, the Mantis Shrimp began fighting the fire, and the Warriors also took action.
In the strictly hierarchical Mantis Shrimp society, Warriors were to obey the Hero unconditionally.
Facing such a large fire, the firefighting efforts were a drop in the bucket, but saving even one Amber Tree was good.
The Mantis Shrimp Warrior who went to scout returned, "Great Warwick, the Pandaren are attacking with a group of unknown enemies.
Those unknown enemies are burning with flames, and this powerful magic was cast by them."
Warwick immediately gathered his army, "Eliminate those enemies and stop this magic."
He wore heavy amber armor, carried amber weapons, and led the way out of Korevis.
Seeing the elves' magic circle from afar, Warwick immediately pointed his weapon forward, "Attack!"
Then, through infrasound, he commanded the Mantis Shrimp to form dozens of teams, launching attacks from different directions.
To become a Hero, one needed not only powerful combat ability but also leadership talent.
If it were an ordinary Mantis Shrimp Warrior, they would surely send the Mantis Shrimp swarming to their deaths.
But Warwick would not; he controlled the Mantis Shrimp to attack in different directions and in different batches, already considering the Pandaren's countermeasures.
If it were just against the Pandaren, this war would certainly be fine; the only variable now was these unknown enemies.
General Zhu commanded the Pandaren to resist, but under Warwick's command, the Pandaren's resistance became futile.
At this moment, Aileen gave the order, "Yī Nǔ Tè, go help our allies."
Yī Nǔ Tè immediately led the druids, transformed into leopards, and rushed into the Pandaren's positions.
Their agile bodies swiftly weaved through the positions, pouncing on the Mantis Shrimp that threatened the Pandaren from above.
When they encountered injured Pandaren, they would immediately transform back into human form to cast healing spells on them.
Shadow Master led the monks to join the support team, killing Mantis Shrimp while sensing the location of the Sha of Hatred.
Finally, he locked onto the Mantis Shrimp commander and slowly moved through the battlefield.
Warwick saw Shadow Master and believed Shadow Master wanted to assassinate him.
He was full of disdain for this; his powerful strength made him fearless of any assassin.
He allowed Shadow Master to approach, and the Mantis Shrimp on the entire battlefield seemed not to see Shadow Master.
As Shadow Master approached, he suddenly swung his weapon, launching an attack at Shadow Master.
Shadow Master quickly dodged, saying while avoiding, "Stop, my target is not you!"
How could Warwick believe him?
These people had burned the entire Amber Forest, and they still wanted to deceive him with such idiotic nonsense.
He charged again, continuing to attack Shadow Master.
Shadow Master was worried the Sha of Hatred would escape, so he could only quickly shake off Warwick's entanglement.
But Warwick had fixed his sights on Shadow Master, with every move aimed at vital points.
Shadow Master, helpless, could only activate the Wrath Soul to block Warwick's weapon and punch him back.
Warwick hadn't expected Shadow Master to unleash such powerful strength and was completely unprepared, being sent flying dozens of yards.
He got up from the ground, looking at Shadow Master warily; a strong warrior's intuition told him that Shadow Master could easily take his life.
Just then, a huge dark shadow enveloped Warwick.
Shadow Master immediately warned, "Watch out, the Sha Demon is behind you!"
Warwick also felt the danger, but his attention had been on Shadow Master before, and it was too late to dodge.
The Sha of Hatred grabbed Warwick and directly possessed his body.
After breaking through the seal, it had always wanted to take revenge on the Pandaren, so it had set its sights on the Mantis Shrimp.
Unlike the Sha of Madness and the Sha of Anger, those two idiots, it would not use its true form for revenge.
Although the Sha Demon's body was powerful, it was only a spirit body and could easily be defeated.
If it possessed a host, it would be much stronger.
The Sha Demon's inherent abilities would be retained and would also enhance the host's abilities.
Warwick wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, the Sha of Hatred gave him no chance, directly suppressing his consciousness and gaining control of his body.
"Mantis Shrimp, the time for revenge has come!"
The Sha of Hatred emitted infinite Sha energy, affecting all the surrounding Mantis Shrimp.
Not only that, but the Sha energy was also spreading towards the Pandaren's positions.
Upon seeing this, Shadow Master immediately condensed his true qi and unleashed it towards the Sha energy.
A fierce gust of wind blew, dispersing some of the Sha energy, but the Sha energy in other areas was still enveloping the Pandaren's positions.
General Zhu shouted sternly, "Everyone, be careful not to be affected by the Sha."
Aileen flew up, gathering violent Wind Elementals in her hands, and pushed them towards the Sha energy, a huge strong wind blowing the Sha energy back.
"The Sha Demon has appeared; begin the decapitation strike!"
Golden Crow appeared on the battlefield and charged towards the Sha of Hatred.
Aileen followed closely, flying closer while using wind magic to restrict the Sha energy.
Warwick immediately dispatched Mantis Shrimp to attack Aileen.
Aileen didn't even look at those Mantis Shrimp; a whirlwind appeared around her body, blowing all approaching Mantis Shrimp helter-skelter, making it impossible for them to get close.
Yī Nǔ Tè saw his wife being besieged and immediately leaped up, transforming into a Golden Crow, and flew into the sky.
He arrived in an instant, his body emitting endless flames, which, combined with Aileen's whirlwind, formed a fiery whirlwind that incinerated the Mantis Shrimp to ashes.
