27. Hero, or butcher?
On the shores of Surama and Asuna, there is a delta zone, which is the western estuary of the entire Broken Isles, where many savage three-headed plesiosaurs lived, but after the arrival of Das, the beasts here were considered to have suffered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rude dragon man was barbecuing a large piece of plesiosaur meat with Tao Ya and the Blue Dragon Girl, and the smell was fragrant, and a little farther away, the indifferent Rogrio Chaser was lying on a tree branch to stand guard, resting by the way, and in the place where Dmytil was resting, two elven ghosts, a man and a woman, were held in place by special chains of holy light, and they were captured by Assuna's party.
But it was useful for Dick to keep them.
At the edge of the delta, on a few wooden slabs made of trees, Dick and Romans, and Khadgar were sitting, and today was the third day of Anduin and Avena's captivity, and as time passed, Dick's mood was so bad that even his usual curiosity was banished by anger and indifference.
This was almost the first time in his second life that he had been so powerless, and even when he was so powerful that he could almost not fight against the ancient gods, he had never been so aggrieved.
Yes, Hela, that guy used the rules of the Shadow Nation to fight him defenseless, and more importantly, this time it wasn't he who took the initiative to provoke Hela, it was the bastard who took the initiative to provoke him.
Although he knew that Hela also had a tragic past, it was a pity that Dick did not intend to forgive her for what she had done now because of her tragic past, which could not be a reason for her to hurt Dick's relatives.
"That's the way it is. ”
Khadgar briefly recounted what they had seen and heard in Sulama, looked at Dick, and accentuated his tone, "That Child of the Night named Talisa promised us that as long as we can break Surama's magic shield from the outside, she will have a way to start an uprising in the city, and then we can open Surama City with the cooperation of the inside and outside, and at that time, we can also get the right to use the Eye of Amansur as agreed." ”
"Usufruction?"
Dick glanced suspiciously at Khadgar, and then at the silent archmage Romans, who noticed Dick's gaze and coughed lightly,
"Actually, I don't really want to agree to that Talisa's whimsical plan, the upper elves have been closed off for too long, and they still think that with a city they can have a fair conversation with us, so I prefer to be tough, and take down Sulama, the Eye of Amansur, we can take it at any time, of course... This has nothing to do with Sindore, we are only here to travel His Majesty Kael'thas promised you at the beginning. ”
Dick bared his teeth,
"Okay, Khadgar, you have to find a way to contact Talissa, I don't care what she does, I need Sulama to open at least one passage that allows the outside to enter, and they only need to do this, and they don't even need to clash head-on with Elisandr's forces, we can take care of the rest." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Khadgar to answer, the paladin turned his gaze to Romans again,
"Archmage, I need to ask the mages of Quel'Salas to build a large portal on the plains of Surama, and I need an army to settle the strife in Surama... After the matter is settled, I am not interested in whether Surama will return to the Sons of the Night or to Quel'Thalas, including those magical items and materials, as well as texts or anything. ”
Dick closed his eyes, and his tone was full of a toughness that could not be refused,
"All I need is the Eye of Al-Mansur!"
It wasn't once or twice that Romans had dealt with Dick, he had never seen this young man who was always smiling, but he was getting more and more powerful, the old mage was used to seeing too many things in his life, he could guess Dick's current state of mind, so he was very rational and did not refute.
Anyway, with the personal relationship between His Majesty Kael'thas and Mr. Dick, as long as he speaks, His Majesty will not refuse, not to mention that this matter is not harmful to Quel'Thalas.
Khadgar's personality has a lot to think about, but thinking of the arrogant attitude of those high-level elves, this mage is also angry, and the idea of wanting to hinder the use of war to solve the problem has also faded, in his opinion, the city has completely lost hope, and under the glamorous appearance, it can't hide the corruption inside Sulama.
But out of instinctive kindness, he couldn't help but ask,
"But I've learned about the Tree of Akando in Quel'Thalas, and it can't supply so many demon-addicted people to use it, right?
Dick didn't want to answer this stupid question, but considering Khadgar's special position among the outlanders who had just returned to Azeroth, he patiently asked a question,
"When you were in the Outlands, you never wondered where Illidan's endless supply of soldiers came from?"
The mage's face immediately turned horrified, Dick shook his head, threw down a sentence and turned to leave,
"The worse the addiction, the more resilient they are to evil powers, and as long as they can survive the most painful periods, they will be the strongest demon hunters, yes, Illidare. ”
Khadgar's face flushed, and he shouted to Dick's back,
"You... You butcher!"
He was about to shout a second sentence, but he was pointed at his head by a scorching lightning spear, and Das pinched the roast meat in one hand, his eyes full of provocation,
"You can try to say one more thing, mage. ”
Khadgar turned his pleading gaze to Archmage Romans, who smiled at him with a calm and somewhat grim smile,
"It's just recycling, and it can help us fight back against demons... By the way, Khadgar, I remember you have a group of mage veterans there, if you want to help out, I can allow you to transcribe all of Sulamar's magical texts. ”
“… Yes, that's fair, but I'll still say, you're so cold-blooded!"
"No, no, no, when you have experienced the destruction of the country and the catastrophe of annihilation, you will understand that your kindness is the greatest cruelty to this world. ”
Once the mages have made a decision, the execution is very strong, especially for a collection of legion-level mages like Quel'Salas, and those veterans who have experienced the orc wars who follow Khadgar, after figuring out the two waypoints, some of the mages jumped to the Naraksha engine in Pandaria, some of the mages went to Theramore, and the last part of the mages went directly to the Great Plains of Sulama.
On the night of the same day, ten large portals were erected on the Great Plains of Sulama, and as the portals began to slowly recharge, the temporary passage connecting the three places was opened, and the first to walk out of the portal was Gianna wearing a mage robe and a coat, and behind her was Liadrin, who had re-donned her armor, and they came from Theramore, bringing with them the most elite Silver Dawn Knights in the entire Theeramore and the Earth Spirit Legion who had been living in the Dust Swamp for nearly a year.
Two suffocating kisses were given to the expectant wives who had been reunited after a long absence, and then they hugged the old brothers they hadn't seen for a long time.
Dick was meant to break away from civilization and act on it, but Kalia... The queen who had given Dick a headache had forcibly assigned him to Lordaeron's forces, and despite being a name, Silver Dawn had returned to Dick's command, much to the delight of all paladins.
"This may be the last time I'll go on battle as a warrior. ”
Eriegor, who was already full of gray hair, sighed with emotion and carried his sword of Rivendell and wore a red cloak, and when he heard his self-deprecating words, Dick hammered him in the chest,
"Don't laugh, old man, I'm counting on you to take care of the energetic lads for me, I don't have time for these things, so I'm going to trouble the Earl, am I?"
Erigor laughed and bowed exaggeratedly,
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
"And you!"
Dick took out a few bottles of good wine from the ruins of Asuna from his ring and threw them to Herold and the others, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
"When you become a general, give me a good job, our future journey is a sea of stars, and there are endless battles! Give me a good life, or live in a different form, you choose for yourself. ”
Herold laughed, this guy is still dressed as "wild" before, and his naked upper body has crazy scars, which is proof of a warrior, he poured a sip of wine and asked loudly,
"Boss, who are you going to fight this time?"
"Let me think"
Dick scratched his head, then pointed to the looming purple building behind him, "Oh, by the way, a bunch of sissy elf addicts who think they are invincible in the world, after beating them up, get me to the Norrend Tundra Theater, where there's going to be a hard battle right away." ”
Herold was a little dumbfounded, and he gestured to the size of the city,
"Just us, boss, we have a limit to what we can fight, at least we have to pull the army from Old Man Foding's side over, right? Even with the help of the earth spirit, we can't bite it." ”
Dick glared at this mouthy guy, how could he be surrounded by this kind of guy, he shook his head,
"When will it take? This time you've got allies, yes, they're coming. ”
After saying that, the ground of the entire plain began to shake, as if a giant beast was approaching, and the next moment, two behemoths walked out of the portal, they were wearing cumbersome battle armor, one with a hammer on his back, and one with a sword, the two behemoths looked left and right, and then walked towards Dick, with more and more powerful vibrations, they half-knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison,
"Your Majesty the Emperor, your invincible army is already in place!
In the seven portals behind them, the ancient stone soldiers walked out of it, and the knights who watched the scene froze in place, while Azadas, who led the Territorial Spirit Legion, stood aside and chatted with Elonnaya, who had changed his hairstyle,
"Tsk, tens of thousands of years, I once again felt the power of the Guardian Legion back then, and Dick can really toss. ”
"Well, I think so too, it's just a bit low-level, the first time I fought with the Demon Ancient Legion, it was actually against mortal creatures, which was really disappointing. ”
"It's okay, after all, I haven't moved my body for tens of thousands of years, so it's a warm-up, didn't he say that there is a way to deal with Hela next?
Aronnaya thought about it, and the expression on her face brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she became excited, "You're right, you must beat that guy this time!"
The four-headed jade Quirin, who guarded the gate of the Narak Engine, also came this time, and followed Dick with two ends and Gianna and Liadlin on both sides, standing on the ground full of red maple leaves falling from Sulama, which is said to be the capital of the upper elves, Kim Aishara also bathed in the maple leaves in the sky.
It was supposed to be a beautiful sight, but alas, today, there is no beauty here, only a war that is about to begin.
Khadgar, though reluctant to Dick's crude and simple way of assigning personnel, wisely did not speak, and after seeing Dick's "third-party" forces, he knew that he could not change Dick's decision, not any earthly king in this world.
He couldn't help but look back, three large phalanxes lined up on the broken plains of Sulama, the leftmost was the Earth Spirit Legion, there were not many of them, but with the tall stone statue of Anubisas and Azadas holding a war hammer, and Elonaya carrying a great sword, it also looked majestic.
At the very center is the Silver Dawn Knights of Theramore, with 3,000 fully armed paladins, plus the same number of knightly servants, the overall strength is the weakest, but the most mobile, and in mortal warfare, this is already a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
On the far right is the Demon Ancient Legion led by Jian Xi and Taixi, all of them are Titan creations, the number is between 6000-8000, they are tall, their defense is strong, their strength is infinite, their magic resistance is extremely high, and as Titan creations, they have no fear, no emotions, once Dick gives the order, they can fearlessly pounce on any opponent, and that's not all.
As long as Dick wanted to, he could completely restart the Naraksha engine, and before the Titans ran out of energy left there, he could more than triple the number of the Mogu Legions, taking into account the remnants of the Top of Thor, which were being reset.
This is not an army that should be present in the world.
Khadgar felt a shudder, the last time he trembled was when the army of Illidare returned from the Outlands to defeat the original Outlander King Matheriton, as opposed to this army that leaned towards the side of order, it was an evil army that used magical energy.
But the two have common characteristics that the mortal world cannot fight against!
And thinking of Illidan, Khadgar couldn't help but recall the secret he had just learned, the heroic knight of Azeroth in front of him, in his shadow, and the constant connection with the evil army.
It's scary to think about it.
Khadgar Horan found that if the most dangerous situation really happened, Dick's opponent would likely face attacks from both good and evil at the same time.
Dick!
This heroic paladin, who suddenly rose 5 years ago, has gathered such a huge force without anyone noticing on his incomparably great journey!
So here's the question... What does he want to do? What does he want to do with such a huge amount of power?
Also, what the hell is he a glorious hero of this era... Or a cold-blooded, masked butcher?
Khadgar didn't know.
But he knew that Dick Don, this paladin, was definitely more than what he seemed on the surface, and he suddenly became extremely interested in this paladin, not with malicious intent, but just pure interest.
It was at this time that Dick's figure suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared in place, and his voice came from afar,
"The shield is down!"
"Charge with me!"
At the sound of an order, the war began!
