Chapter 157: Pitchfork
When: 10/9/23/Blackgate/Location: Undercity
"Daddy!"
"Miss Iru, it's too dangerous to go back!"
The dry tears of the rush poured uncontrollably, and the siren felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the girl in the crook of his arm escaped from her restraints and turned back the way she came, and we could not chase it anymore, because her tears caused the water level of the underground water to rise rapidly.

"You said you wanted to go back with me! Don't let my promise fail!"
"I'm sorry, I can't... You don't deserve any happiness!
"She's right! If we drag it out any longer, we will soak in the boiling water of a lake, and it won't taste good!"
"Iru... β
I was pulled by the arm of several men and walked into the distance, and when I turned back, Iru was long gone.
I followed them in despair, not knowing how the sirens had opened the draingates, and I didn't want to know. If it weren't for the iron rod of Ellswhite, I wouldn't have even been able to walk that far.
I can't even take the bodies of Kifer and Hule, and just a few hours ago, when I uncovered the countless runes to wrap their bodies, I carelessly broke a mirror, freeing the other half of the wicked woman's soul, and before she could make a move, I summoned the Star Spirit, tearing her void in half. Hatred can make people burst out with terrifying power! I am afraid of this power! I am still afraid of hatred! I am still afraid of the death of hatred!
Although I easily overtook the wicked woman, the mirror she controlled also cut my left Achilles tendon...
γγγ At last I stepped on the ground, and there was silence around me, only a few crows of crows happened to pass over the manor, and I couldn't save these little lives, as if I couldn't save them!
Red bursts out from the island, making the lake boil, countless fish come to the surface with white, the blazing fire reflects the sky red, and the crows are engulfed in an instant...
"Goodbye, friends ... "I woke up from my nightmare again, Abby was lying on my chest, and my tremors woke up the elf girl, who had just learned of her mother's death half a month ago, and was now coming to take care of me, how could those companions not be their companions?
Abby was about to sit up, but was held tightly in my arms.
"What are you doing, are you still feverish?" her first sentence was disgust, but the second sentence was concern.
"I feel better, but I still need your ice!" I said with a wry smile.
"You let me go, can you bully people when you're sick?" her face leaned against my neck, and I couldn't help but kiss her deeply on the forehead, and then greedily kissed her on the lips. She didn't dodge, just fleetingly, she pushed me away and asked me with a red face and crying, "There won't be a baby like this, right?"
My holy light eye has night vision, and while playing with Abby, I glanced at the clock, it was already half past six in the morning, I hurriedly put on my long robe, and asked Abby to wake up the other companions.
Today is a big day to admonish the queen again. Since we destroyed the Psychic Academy, the old nest of the natural disaster research force, and became the great heroes of the forgotten, even old acquaintances such as Belduga and Kaidong wanted to erect a monument to me in the military zone, and I said that I am still alive, so there is no need to commemorate it, and my companions have made great contributions, and they must all be erected. They thought I had a point, but the Undercity couldn't erect a statue of a foreigner, so the plan was aborted.
The queen is not in the Undercity these days, and she doesn't know where to go on secret missions, although she is tyrannical and ruthless, but she often does it herself, and no one in the army and civilians has two hearts for her. She led the people to rebel against power and implanted freedom in people's hearts, and she deserves to be the goddess of revenge in people's hearts.
Since Hule rescued the Terran captives and the undead called themselves the Forsaken, the Undercity has greatly strengthened its fortifications, except for the Polluters who are in a stalemate with the dwarves in the Alterac Valley and cannot return to the city, the rest of the small garrisons have all been recalled for reorganization, the Second Army has been severely wounded by the natural disaster, and the warriors who were taken away by Kel'thugad alone have a division, I hope that the spell Lucifer taught me will bring them back to the embrace of the Undercity again.
At the time of the Great War of Andohar, the casualties of the troops who did not participate in the battle were even heavier, and the Terran navy landed at the Fengling Ferry in the Silver Pine Forest, and first had a fierce exchange of fire with seven patrols, and the results were self-evident, most of the patrols were recruited by the undead militia, where the enemy was better than the regular troops, and the Terrans were even more cruel to burn the prisoners and dead bodies, probably because they were afraid that the undead would come back again and bring them unnecessary trouble. Beldugar and the twin lieutenant generals' troops remained at Shadowfang Castle and survived without receiving a battle report. The Terrans fought their way into the Tirisfal glades with little resistance, but my good friends [Frey] and [Larson] rushed to meet the attack with a small group of acolytes and low-ranking mages of Brill, and were burned to death in the airship tower after being defeated.
Now that the Eastern Wilderness is isolated, the Terrans have no ability to organize a large-scale encirclement operation again, so they blew up the thousand-year-old {Sador Bridge}, and now the Hot Sand Group refuses to continue to provide airship services, and the Undercity has no extra financial resources to build a naval dockyard, so it is almost impossible to leave the Eastern Wilderness except that Abby now has the only one-way portal to return to Karazhan.
I have discussed with you whether I should go home now, I don't want to go back, I learned through the war report that after Darian withdrew to the Chapel of the Light's Wish, the army of Kel'thugad also withdrew to the city of Stratholme, and a week ago, the army marched to the Chapel, but was stopped by a mysterious person in the Mushroom Grove, and tens of thousands of natural disasters were restrained by one person, which is really sensational, and when I first heard Mr. Faranir talk about it, I was also so shocked that my tongue stuck out half a foot long. He then explained that the mysterious man had set countless traps in the mushroom forest and cast a formation that could cause people to get lost. Stratholme is also home to Forsaken spies, who spread rumors that terrify the Scourge soldiers, so they can so easily stumble on the enemy.
In addition, the Rotten Moss Troll Sect Master Tarejin still adheres to his alliance with the Undercity, and although he still refuses to join the Horde, if the Scourge breaks through the maze of the mushroom forest, he will have to face the wrath of the Voodoo Cult next. The Silver Dawn is the main force in the fight against natural disasters, and the Chapel of the Light's Wish cannot be missed, whether in terms of fame or the name of the teacher, and the coalition forces understand this, so although they have different positions, they all refrain from prejudice against each other.
The Eastern Plaguelands are also the headquarters of the Scarlet Crusaders, stationed in {Hand of Tyr Heights}, and the scouts have been watching over them, but they have not moved, and not even a single one has come out of the walls for months.
The reason why this meeting with the queen is so important is because the queen decided to treat me with a state courtesy, she never urged me to join the nationality, this time we cleaned the psychic academy, which was a huge blow to the Scourge Legion, and the prime minister Varimatus personally ordered the military and civilians to wait in every corner of the city to light up wax all night, you must know that the last time the lights of the Dark City were bright was when the orc chief came to establish diplomatic relations a few years ago.
Five days ago, I staked all the jewelry I brought back from the Psychic Academy to the boss of the pawn shop, Montagu, for nearly 30,000 gold coins, and used a small part of it to buy a luxurious outfit for everyone. Sirens and Best and others are difficult to wear ordinary people's clothes, so they have to ask someone to order them, and this batch of goods has been made yesterday.
The sirens were made to order a set of steel plate armor without helmets, and Best was given a fur wolfskin robe that matched Minna's foliage and weedy wind.
Since it is an audience, you cannot enter the palace with weapons. But as we were ready to go, the messenger who came to meet us, Mr. Putres, said that we must be asked to come with our weapons.
People didn't understand the meaning, so they had to comply. I pinned the iron rod of Ellswhite behind my back, and the short staff of the Holy Spirit was inserted into the round hole in my belt.
The granite path leading to the palace was all too familiar, and I walked first, the red flames painted by magic in the middle of the white robe. Every time they passed by the opposing Guardians of Terror, they would fall to one knee and show us great respect.
In a short time we entered the main hall of the palace, where the queen was still sitting on the skull chair and lazily unwilling to get up, and the ministers were already standing, and there were only two chairs at the round table, except for the queen's one, and only the other one was placed opposite her. I stepped forward, bowed to the Queen, and sat down in a grand manner, with my companions standing spontaneously on either side.
The Queen's expression seemed like she was about to fall asleep, and it was as if she was unleashing a curse on me. Her limp body seemed to slide off her chair, one elbow on the handle.
She asked coldly, "Can you give me the iron fork?"
"What?" I didn't understand her, and the first thing she said was asking for something? Is the iron fork referring to Ellsbeth's staff?
The queen's tone was as usual: "Ellsbeth is still alive!"
"Ah, do you mean his banishment?, well, how did you know about Ellsberg?" I am sure that after entering the Undercity, no companion said the word Ellsberg, and his existence cannot be told to the general public, otherwise it will cause panic, what does she mean that Ellsbeth is not dead?
Queen: "That old thing in Huller's banishment magic wasn't strong enough, and Ellsbeth escaped from the Void Hole halfway through. β
I almost fell out of my chair this time, and the queen was like witnessing the fierce battle, and what was even more terrifying was the return of Ellsber, which was what a great catastrophe would bring to Azeroth.
Seeing that I was not speechless, the queen continued, "Hades, the king of Hades, wants to take back his pitchfork to fight the threat of the Dark Titans. β
I reluctantly removed the rod from my back and examined it carefully, and since I rubbed Gardin's head off the steps of the sewer, the original head of the rod had emerged, more like a spear, with only a sharp tip at the top. I've grown up in a village since I was a child, and I've never seen a pitchfork?
I half-believingly handed the iron staff to the queen, who held it in her hand and said, "Look!" A purple magic force was pressed from her chest to her arm, and then into the iron staff, and the head of the staff instantly turned into three points, one long and two short. I was even more confused when I saw it, this only added two points to such a hard time, and it really looked like an ordinary pitchfork.
"Hades, Hades, Hades, Hades, Hades, Hades
Sylvanas: "I don't know, but he knows very well where we stand, and he knows where he stands, so he asked me to work with him." β
I suddenly noticed the sudden change in Varimatus's expression, in fact, it was difficult not to notice, because he was now like eating, his facial features were painfully entangled, and he didn't want others to find out, so he stretched his facial muscles as hard as he could, and finally showed a large mouth in the middle of a large face, with two round eyes and a huge hooked nose.
The other ministers looked surprised, apparently because the queen had not mentioned the matter to them beforehand.
"Queen, when did you start working with him, and how did he find you?"
Sylvanas flicked the bone bow behind his back with two fingers, and said quietly: "This [Bliss] is from the [Pure Land of Bliss] under the jurisdiction of Hades, where countless monsters are sealed, and this bow is the skeleton of one of them. As for when the cooperation will begin, it will be today when I return the pitchfork to him. β
"Who you work with, who I work with, we don't interfere with each other, don't we? You don't have to tell me so much. β
Sylvanas: "You are Lilith's spokesperson, and I am Hades's spokesperson, and they don't like each other, so we can only seek a deeper cooperation." β
I had a vague sense that a storm was brewing behind the dark clouds that would sweep the world, and that everything was just beginning.
"So how are we going to work together?"
Sylvanas: "What do I want from the thousands of forsaken, you know?"
"Revenge, revenge against the scourge!"
Sylvanas: "That's right, this coincides with your interests and the interests of the two underworld masters behind us!"
"Haven't we been fighting natural disasters together, and how else can we work together?"
Sylvanas: "I'm going to help you build your country! You can still be your hero, these have nothing to do with my interests, and there is no subordination between us." The big backer of the tribe doesn't trust the Undercity and me, I'm just looking for an extra way out for myself!"
"The premise of the retreat is that you fall out with the tribe, have you already put this task on the agenda?"
Sylvanas: "Not yet, these things will have to be thought about after the catastrophe has passed." β
"What new goals will you be looking for then?"
Sylvanas: "Resurrect all my people perfectly, or make them exactly like meγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ!" (Rabbit pen Kang slugging cow)
