Chapter 192: A Tale of the Dead - Nathanos Blightcaster (6)
Time: October 13, 23/23 / Place: South Peak of Yunqi Mountain
"What do you remember? Nathanos! These tears have no reason!" said Ellsbeth, with a hypocritical face.
Nathanos allowed his long-depleted tear ducts to burst again, a very quiet way of crying, and he thought of the day the city was broken.
A year ago ...
The Burning Sun Square was filled with noisy undead spirits, many of whom had fallen and risen again in the battle, cheering and shouting like the cruel rituals of a savage village. Surrounded by the tide of corpses, two teams of people came out of the two gatehouses on the left and right, one of which was escorting Nathanos, and the other was escorting Sylvanas, both of whom were extremely dishonest, struggling, twisting their bodies, and from time to time using various parts of their bodies to hit the undead behind them.
The two were forcibly pressed to the ground, and an undead giant kicked Sylvanas in the socket of the leg with his thick foot, and she first fell downward, then struggled to her feet with all her strength, and she fought against the arm strength of the seven undead who bound her hands, but she was defeated.
Nathanos' eyes were glazed and desperate, and he lost his former brilliance after seeing his sweetheart succumb like never before.
In the inner perimeter of the square, almost every smiling undead had in their hands a powerless elf, civilians, militiamen, and regular Sindore troops from the 1st and 4th Legions. The undead were rewarded with their own reward, and they tortured the playthings in their hands and took pleasure in it.
Arthas, the Death Knight, watched from afar, hoping to get some necessary information from some subservient elf. At this time, the exact location of the Well of the Sun is not yet known, and although the undead can search for it in a carpet, it will still waste precious time, and the legendary Prince Kyle may return halfway through, causing them unnecessary trouble. Arthas was conceited to defeat Kyle, but there was a brave counsellor who disagreed, and this man helped him shut down the magical defense field from within, but he didn't know where he was running now. If he can return, should he be given the reward he deserves?As the sole heir of the human kingdom of Lordaeron, Corporal Lixian is the way to govern the country, and even the people under his rule are rotten and stinking.
Nathanos suddenly let out a roar into a corner of the square, and he saw the elves mixed in with the undead, and none of the undead around him wanted to attack him, and this man was not even noticed by Arthas.
"Darkan!!" Nathanos dragged the chains around his body, and the six undead were pulled forward by him several steps at the same time.
The obscene figure in the crowd didn't have time to avoid Nassa's sight, and the undead in front of him lowered their bodies to look back together, and the second disciple of the Grand Magus stood in the most awkward position in a daze. Sylvanas, who was covered in wounds, only raised his eyelids slightly, and two cold rays of light shot straight into Darkan's bone marrow, making his legs move as if they had been filled with lead.
"Why?," Nassar barked at Darkan like a mad beast.
Arthas had an incomprehensible look on his face, and even said with a slight smile: "Answer him!"
Darkan couldn't believe his ears and replied to him, "Not only would it be a loss of face, but it would also lead to endless hunts." His original plan was to wait quietly until the crowd cleared, and then go to Arthas to receive his well-deserved reward, but there were too many forks in between, and he was still immersed in the guilt of his master, and now he had to face more questions. Did he do something wrong? With himself, he firmly believed that he was doing the right thing, that is, an hour ago, on the elder walkway leading to the palace, Darkan's sneaky deeds were discovered by Bi Luohua, who had raised him for fifty-seven years, he knelt in front of the teacher and begged for mercy, but the teacher did not forgive him for his mistakes, and when Bi Luohua was emotional, Darkan rushed into the arms of the mentor with an arrow, and when he retreated, the great demon master Bi Luohua had been burned by the sun.
He asked the same question, "Why did you do that?"
Darkan was overwhelmed by what little trace of conscience remained, and he fulfilled his teacher's last wish to make him die clearly: "You ask me, you old immortal! Who can't see your preference for Romans and Isaas! Only me, I am not a nobleman, you all look down on me, and even the magic you teach me is inferior to them!"
The charred old man remained motionless, without a wail of pain or a cry of despair, and two bloody tears flowed from his eyes: "I regard you as a son... Darkan... β
"Phew! Yang Yan magic is not as good as... Phantoms and ... Even he couldn't believe that he couldn't finish saying this, because he finally understood that the magic he had learned was the most powerful of the three, but the little people around him were always secretly talking about his origins, and he was nothing more than a miner's son in the mouths of these people, humble and lowly. Bi Luohua is like his biological father, raising him for so many years... He couldn't help but think about it, and the fire man in front of him was about to burn out, so he rushed up and hugged a pile of ashes, and Bi Luohua's figure was in a hug - ashes were gone.
Darkan quickly adjusted his mentality, he knew that many people in this world were kidnapped by something called conscience, he didn't need the pity of others, and he didn't need to be driven crazy by morality, all he had to do was to carry out the plan to the end. The Stone of Biluohua, which controlled the magical defense field, was placed on the pile of charred corpses by Darkan, and the howls of the ugly undead were already heard behind him.
"I... I have nothing to say to this dog!!, Arthas!" Darkan grimaced, and he used his magic to increase his volume so that the sound of his speech could reach every corner of the square.
Arthas spread out his hands and made a gesture of helplessness: "Then come here and accept your reward!"
Darkan was full of anticipation, but with some apprehension, the reward he hoped for was that he could become the king of a vassal state of the Plague, so that no one would look down on him again. And at this time, to ask him to come and accept the prize, is it just a legendary weapon, or a whole box of gold and silver treasures? In that case, the fact that he killed all his compatriots would make him regret it for the rest of his life, at least the teacher should never have died at his own hands.
Darkan timidly approached Arthas, who smiled sheepishly, reassuring him a little.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Lordaeron, can I take control of this country?" Darkan knelt on one knee and humbly asked.
"If you want to rule a land where no one is in charge, then you can do it as you like. Arthas's words were mocking and defiant, and the undead in the square burst into laughter.
"I don't understand what you mean. β
"It means that they will all be my right-hand men, and I can't take them away, but I won't let them live. β
"I'm even more confused, what you promised... β
"Promise? I said I'd give you this country, but I didn't say that all these people are at your disposal, right?"
"Your Royal Highness, I'm not a wordplay person. You can leave me at least a few good friends... Several... A few girls will fine, at least the second half of my life will not be so boring!"
"I'm a slayer, a tyrant, a knight from hell, I can admit it, but I'm not a hard-hearted fellow. I'm not going to let you spend the rest of your life in torment. As he spoke, Frost's Sorrow pierced Darkan's lower abdomen like a serpent out of a hole.
"For ... Why?"
"There are quite a few people who like to ask questions today, and I want to declare it! Ahem! Listen well, my subjects! I am honest with all my heart to this man who has made great achievements in this war! He asks that there will be no torment and pain, and I will give him a break! He is afraid that there will be no women, so I will marry him all the female undead present!" Arthas cried out, and the undead burst into cheers.
Darkan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he didn't know whether it was remorse or pain that caused tears in his eyes a few times, but he still couldn't flow: "I was wrong... Finish... Frost's sorrow stirred in his belly a few times, and Darkan knelt in agony before Arthas's horse, finally breathing.
"Brute!!" Nathanos was a bit of Progeria, and his beard had already turned a little white, making it seem to outsiders that he was older than Sylvanas.
Sylvanas: "Shut up, Nassa, we're going to die with our heads held high in front of these scumbags!"
"Oh-oh, are you sure?" said Arthas, and several ghouls pulled a red-hot chain from the scorching fire and wrapped it around Sylvanas's delicate body, but she didn't say a word, and the only sound in the square was the sizzle of roasting meat.
Nasa held her head high, waiting for her share of the same pain as hers. But the half-dead elves were all weeping, and Nassar despised them, which seemed to them more like a show of weakness and a plea for mercy at this time.
At some point, a figure appeared behind Sylvanas, holding a dagger in his hand, and without saying a word, the dagger instantly pierced her throat.
"What is this for? Darkan, you haven't had enough of your people these days!" Seeing that the treasonous rebel was quickly resurrected in a matter of minutes, and even more ruthless, Arthas asked him a little reproachful.
"My master, as you just said, all the undead women present are at my disposal. Can you give me this girl too?"
"What a disappointment! Of course, she's yours too! Tell me where the Well of the Sun is!"
"Queldanus Island, north of Silvermoon City. β
"Hmph! Thank you! I want to know what you want her to do?"
Ignoring his master's words, Darkan chose to answer with action, and he kicked Sylvanas in the body, and the Ranger General slowly opened his eyes: "Take off your clothes!" Darkan said coldly.
And Sylvanas's death brought the mind control of the Helm of Dominion far away in Northrend, she is now just someone else's puppet, and this transformation made Nathanos completely collapse, he could no longer hold his head high, but as soon as he lowered it, he was desperately pulled by an undead monster, he couldn't even close his eyes, his eyelids were forcibly ripped open, and he couldn't even blinkγγγγγγ
The Blighter had no intention of recalling the most tragic experience of his life, and being mentioned by Ellsberg brought back a painful past.
"That little girl named Pamela can make you go through it all over again! Kill her! Use your precision archery!"
Nathanos is still weighing, he has found his will, he is no longer a cold-blooded machine, and there is no glory at all in killing a girl!
"You can also gain her powers! Then you can fight me!" Ansbeth tirelessly bewitched the other party, and he knew that he was about to succeed.
Nathanos took aim at Pamela at the bottom of the cliff, but after a moment of reel, he turned his crosshair at Ellsbeth's head. 'Then you can fight me!' This sentence must be said by a madman, who would expect the enemy to have the strength to kill him? An Shibai is a liar full of lies~!
"With the power of the Guardian, you can please your sweetheart, the new kingdom of the Undercity is established, and she needs someone who can protect her subjects!"
I told him just now.,Why he still doesn't understand.,I want her alone.γγγ Phew, I want revenge, those natural disasters are my enemies! Nathanos let go of his hand, and a feathered arrow struck Joseph in the back of the head.
"That's right, wither, let all things wither under your arrows!"
"Ahh!!h The feather arrow was changed by the wind in mid-air, which was a matter of course, and the archer was good at calculating the effect of the wind on the arrow, but this blow was not aimed accurately, and was blocked by Ellsberg. Just as Pamela was on the verge of going berserk, the feather arrow pierced her forehead, pinning it into the groundγγγγγγγγγ (End of Nathanos' story)
