Chapter 53: Crisis
"I know the way this way!"
Arthas led his team through Stratholme Square, and had come to the town hall, looking at the empty town hall, Arthas remembered that he had been here before, and there was a secret passage behind the bookshelf on the second floor of the town hall, which could lead directly to the deepest part of Stratholme, and if you took this secret passage, you could avoid a lot of battles, so that it would be easier to find Marganis.
Thinking of this, Arthas decisively ordered everyone to enter the town hall, and after entering the city hall, the originally empty house suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I saw them rushing towards Arthas quickly, shouting as they ran: "Thank God, Prince Arthas, great, you have found us!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the four people, Arthas instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, everything around him was normal..... Wait, normal?
The town hall was clean, there were no undead, the floor was still clean and there was not a trace of dust, the fireplace was still blazing, and the smell of food could be heard from the depths of the room.....
It's too normal..... When am I a fool?
Arthas looked blankly at the four men running towards him, he was sure that these must be the Assassins sent by Marganis!
"Yes, I'm glad I found you before you were turned undead by the plague. ”
After speaking
Arthas mercilessly used the vengeance of the light in his hand to knock one of them on the neck and rotate it backwards one hundred and eighty degrees...... Seeing this, the rest of the people took two steps back slightly, staring at Arthas silently.
Arthas was about to continue to clear out the remaining Assassins, when suddenly a sense of crisis came from him, and he searched the direction from which he found that the man whose neck had been broken by him was still standing in place, and there was no blood on his body......
The soldiers behind Arthas sensed something was wrong, and Phalerick was the first to stand in front of him with his shield.
"What are you!" Alsace was annoyed.
A low laugh came from the man whose neck was broken: "Hehehe....."
The man with the broken neck held his head with both hands, and after a sound of bones rubbing, the head that had been knocked out at 180 degrees slowly returned to normal......
"His Royal Highness Prince Alsace...... You don't need to know that much, you just need to die here...... Do it!"
Several huge roars came out of these mouths, and in the shocked gaze of Arthas and his party, these four people suddenly became larger, and black scales appeared on their bodies, and black quicksand exuded from the scales, and their heads were replaced by hideous dragon heads, these are the Eternal Dragon Legion!
But Arthas had never seen any of these dragonmen, not even dragons, and he didn't know how dangerous these monsters were in front of him.
"Protect His Royal Highness, for Lordaeron!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, a human soldier directly shouted a slogan and rushed forward towards the dragonmen, who looked at the soldier with disdain and stood in place without dodging.
"Poof!"
The soldier's face was beaming, it was the sound of a sharp sword piercing his body, he didn't understand why these people were standing still, but it didn't matter, they had been stabbed!
"Be careful!"
Falerik seemed to see something terrible and suddenly issued a warning.
The soldier froze, looked at Falerik suspiciously, then his left eye was gone, and he was about to touch it with his hand, but found that his hand was no longer conscious, and he looked down with all that was left of his eyes......
He was horrified to find that his hand was slowly disappearing into sand, he seemed to understand something, and the fear suddenly spread throughout his body, and he dropped the sword that had pierced into the dragonman's body, and retreated frantically.
"Save...."
It's a pity that the soldier only said half a word before it turned into quicksand and slowly dissipated into the air, and this half word became the last proof that the soldier once existed in this world.
A dull laugh came from the mouth of the Eternal Dragon, who slowly pulled out the sword that was stuck in his body and blew lightly, the sword slowly turned into quicksand and disappeared like his master, and the Eternal Dragonman was unscathed.
Witnessing this scene, Arthas had a cool breath from his feet to his head, and he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked at the dragonman in front of him vigilantly, praying for strength to the holy light in his heart.
......
"Hey, Kael'thas, why haven't we seen Arthas after walking for so long?
Kael'thas frowned: "It stands to reason that their aura came from this direction, but for some reason, their aura suddenly disappeared. ”
Etis was a little surprised: "It's gone, they're not going to die, they're done so quickly, what about defeating Marganis?"
Kael'thas looked at Etis with some dissatisfaction: "You are also a nobleman, can you not use such vulgar language." ”
Etis spread his hands: "Okay, okay.... What do you think..... I have a feeling they shouldn't be dead. After speaking, he secretly complained in his heart: "Even if he dies, the Lich King can resurrect him, the Lich King has planned for so long if Arthas dies here, hehe, it's fun..... I don't know if Kilgardan will just tear him apart and feed him to the dogs. ”
Kael'thas cast a detection spell and said, "Their aura is indeed gone, I guess they have fallen into some kind of magic trap...... But I found that in the square ahead I found a powerful evil aura, how about I go and see it?"
Etis looked down and thought, "Arthas shouldn't die here...... Even if he wanted to die, the Lich King and the Bronze Dragon Legion wouldn't let him die, and there was no need for Marganis to quietly do something to Arthas...... If my guess is correct, Arthas must have encountered the Eternal Dragon Legion. ”
"Let's go to the square in front of us, I guess Alsace will definitely come here in the end, let's go quietly and observe first, and then make a decision....."
Etis finally decided to go to the square first, and he said as he walked: "Marganis must be there, but let's go quietly, and let Arthas fight with Marganis first, and we will find an opportunity to directly deal with that demon, what do you think?"
"Huh, why don't you speak?" Etis took a few steps and felt that something was wrong, not only did Kael'thas not respond to his words, but even his footsteps were gone, and silently took the disintegration staff from behind his back, and glanced back vigilantly.
"Damn!"
Etis was horrified to see Kael'thas standing still, his eyes closed and drowsy.
"Bang! bang!"
There were a few applause from the shadows next to him, and then an eerie voice came from there: "What a good plan, but it's a pity ....."
Marganis emerged from the shadows, watching the corners of Attis' mouth pull a trace of arc, and looked at the disintegrating staff in Attis's hand with interest.
"It's a pity that I found ....."
