Chapter 38: Vignette
"Bell, bell!"
The sharp swords danced and struck one after another, and the original bright sword body had been eroded and broken by the death energy, and the disgusting smell seemed to make the user feel that the next time he faced the damn death knight in front of him, his sword could break at any time!
"That's enough!" The sturdy man raised his anger and filled his body, his strength soared again, he stopped his retreat and then spun in place like a whirlwind, which was a good way to force back his opponent, and the relieved man looked vigilantly at the death knight who was forced back by him for dozens of yards and said: "You are the Thassarian who was captured alive by His Royal Highness the Prince's bounty, right? Surrender, we have already captured several guys like you, and they have regained a decent life, what are you worried about?"
The death knight called Thassarian was dressed in tattered armor, except for the rune sword that was still relatively intact, he was supposed to spread the incarnation of death, but now he was a little hesitant, after all, he didn't plan to kill the guys dressed as these adventurers in front of him. And the other party seemed to be different from the person who wanted to arrest him before, instead of attacking with all his strength, he had the opportunity to kill himself with the cooperation of many people several times, but he kept his hand, which made him puzzled all the time.
Again, to Thassarian's surprise, after that, he had been fighting with this human warrior for a while, and a Night Elf spellcaster-looking person on the side was just paying attention to this place but never made a move, and further behind was a small female gnome and a Draenei woman muttering around a thing that looked a little similar to the arcane golem in Silvermoon City that I don't know when, obviously not paying attention to the battle here, who the hell are they? Moreover, his current opponent, a warrior with such skill, must have been in the army, and he must also be a member of the legion with great achievements, and it can be seen from the scars on his face and his unknown metal left hand that this warrior is definitely an experienced and difficult fellow.
Through the black and white world in the soul vision, Sassarian instinctively felt that although the other party was not easy to deal with, as long as he was serious, this kind of guy who was only at the soldier level could still be easily cleaned up, so he let out a hoarse voice, "I am indeed Sassarian, I think you also know that I have driven away several groups of unfathomable guys like you before you come, get out of here before I change my mind to kill you!"
"No, no, Tassarian, I think you have made a mistake, we are the messengers who will bring you back to Lordaeron to have a decent life again, although His Highness's bounty order is to live, but you had better be obedient, otherwise we will dismantle your body as a living dead and bring it back I don't think His Royal Highness will say anything more." ”
"Alas," Thassarian sighed heavily, "Listening to your accent, it should be someone from the Storm Kingdom in the south of the continent, if you want to find a good excuse, it's best not to use any more His Royal Highness, the royal family of Lordaeron is gone, how can there be any princes, get out, otherwise I'm welcome!"
In the past few years, he has lost the direct control of a series of senior commanders of the Scourge Legion such as Arthas, the Lich King, the superior Lich, and several Nasrezm, and Thassarian is also rolling back and forth between regaining his consciousness and being controlled again, when he is conscious, he is a ruthless machine that slaughters the undead, and when his consciousness is controlled again, he is constantly trying to break free from this damn cage.
It is precisely because of his hard and constant struggle that he has become one of the most difficult death knights to control, and the price to pay to completely control this death knight is too great, and there are too many scattered energies, after the Lich King retreated to Northrend and left Lordaeron alone, Thassarian and several other determined death knights were almost selectively "forgotten" by those who controlled them.
Thassarian knew that he had made a big mistake and that he could not return to the Human Society
He had no choice but to join the other Death Knights who had regained their consciousness in the Silverpine Forest, where he used it as a base to hunt down wandering zombies, ghouls, and all the other members of the Scourge Legion they saw.
The direction of the Silverpine Forest has always been an area that Edlan deliberately ignored, there are not only the undead, but also some low-level demons left behind by Akmund, after the destruction of Dalaran this place became a paradise for the undead, some members of the Cursed Sect continue to pull up dead bodies from the graveyard here to serve them, during the Dreadlord took over the city of Lordaeron, this is almost the rear of the undead natural scourge.
As for Gilnes, as in history, hiding behind the walls of Greymane played ostrich tactics, and then Arugao died, and the werewolf curse also destroyed Burning Wood Village and Shadowfang Castle beyond recognition, and there was no sane person here. This also caused the entire Silver Pine Forest to fall into a state of chaos.
And after Lordaeron returned to the country, Adelan was busy with his mechanization development, disarmament, road construction, how could there be that American time to deal with the matter of the Silver Pine Forest, besides, Lordaeron is now the population is withering, and there is no full population to fill the big hole in the Silver Pine Forest, even Ronin did not mention the rebuilding of Dalaran, and was still mixed in the city of Anaheim, for which Adlan also set up the Dalaran City District as a city within a city to give those mages.
And a poor man like Thassarian, who has escaped the control of the Lich King and is homeless like Sylvanas in "history", Edlan naturally will not do things that are quick for relatives to hate enemies, and he has asked Vanessa and Sierra Moonguard to investigate the situation in the Silverpine Forest very early, and has also accurately found the territory of those Death Knights who specialize in hunting the undead.
Then he sent a bounty to the Adventurers' Guild to bring back the poor people who were still contributing to the country.
It's just that Thassarian doesn't know what Lordaeron is doing now, just cleaning up these werewolves and undead in the Silver Pine Forest and those stupid fishmen who don't want to die has already made them take care of one or the other, so they don't know what Lordaeron is like now. In Thassarian's mind, the country was ruined, and everything could not be resisted under the torrent of the Scourge Legion, including his loved ones, and the only thing he could do now after losing everything was to use this tireless body to be loyal to his homeland.
This is the same as the few Death Knights they have crossed, they were either royal guards of Lordaeron or elite soldiers of the Legion when they were alive, and their love for their country is so deep that they still want to continue to fight for their country now.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the world is big but there is no place for them, the Death Knights are the messengers who bring death to the living, no one wants to accept them, they are a group of forsaken.
But today, Thassarian once again met the same fellows as the desperate adventurers he had driven away the other day, and even for the same reason, he would not tell a lie, which made him laugh and cry.
“...... You stupid fellow, you don't know that Lordaeron has returned to China?"
"Hey, Jamie, I'll just say, we should call Kurdila to show up, it will save us a lot of trouble!" The voice came from the female dwarf in the back, still fiddling with the strange metal golem that was taller than a normal person without raising her head.
"Oh, shit! Gila crossed, if it weren't for you clamoring to test this shit, I think we'd have finished talking!" The human warrior named Jamie didn't look back, staring at Thassarian's every move, he knew that he couldn't defeat the mighty Death Knight on his own, but the purpose of their trip was not to defeat him, but to get the Death Knight to go back with them, and by the way, to test the machinery that the little dwarf was fiddling with.
"That's enough! if you don't go, I'll show you how stupid you are!" Thassarian didn't have time to spend time with these idiots, he had to continue to find out what was going on over there, he needed information to see if he could solve the problem over there. As for Lordaeron's restoration, this kind of joke was not only a joke about a dead man like him, but also a very bad joke to him even for a living person.
In an instant, Thassarian was enveloped in ice-blue ice-colored energy, and as soon as he raised his sword, he pointed straight in the direction of the human warrior, and a whirlwind wrapped in ice blades appeared around the warrior out of thin air.
"Ahh
Although the warrior named Jamie was already vigilant and reacted very quickly, trying to use the charging skills he had already launched to pounce on Thassarian immediately, he was still a second slower. The ice blade of ice effortlessly sliced through his armor, slicing several deep scars on the calf of his right leg that had become the fulcrum of his last right leg!
Because of this delay, the charge was stopped halfway, and Thassarian grabbed it with his free left hand, forcing a charging warrior to be abruptly stuck in the air. This is the Death Knight's choke ability.
"Hmph!" Thassarian didn't think about breaking his neck or suffocating him to death or anything, but just threw him hard and smashed the unlucky man to the ground to the side!
Then, as Tassarian shifted his attention from the warrior who couldn't get up for a while from a heavy fall to the ground, he felt as if something basic to his cognition had been turned upside down.
All he saw was that the Night Elf spellcaster was healing the fallen warrior, and the dwarf ignored him and instead entered the metal golem, much taller and larger than him, while another Draenei woman was using her holy light to transmit energy to the metal. This made him feel very puzzled, usually if there is a priest, there is no need to think about dealing with the undead or the death knight, it is a set of attacks such as divine fire, judgment or divine shock, how can there be such a thing as now, abandon the main goal, and instead transmit energy to that inexplicable thing!
But before Sassarian could figure it out, he heard the female dwarf's voice from the metal golem, "Alright, Iriel, the energy has stabilized, I'm going to start the combat test!"
Here, the warrior named Jamie was wary of Thassarian almost as if he had nothing to do, and he said as he stepped back as he protected the Night Elf, "Lady Starsong, quick, let's stay away. ”
This made Thassarian even more incomprehensible, and after the dwarf shouted those words, the fallen human warrior immediately got up, but instead of attacking him, he took the initiative to distance himself and stay away from here with the Night Elf spellcaster, as if to make way for something.
It was like leaving enough room to engage himself, to give himself and that bulky and dull thing that he had killed for an unknown number of things that resembled the arcane puppets of Silvermoon City?
"Do you know, Iriel......" Under the operation of Jira, the half-kneeling robot began to stand up slowly, and did a few actions similar to warm-up exercises very flexibly, which made her smile with satisfaction in the cab, and continued to say in a broken mouth: "Although I don't know why His Royal Highness insists on giving the RX-78 series the official model name, I still prefer to call it by its common name, Gundam! ”
