13. Ksonos Raiders
The Dark Reaper Warlocks of the Black Scythe Council are the best and most potential warlock rising stars selected from the entire Warlock World, because Kel'thugad is unwilling to lower the selection criteria, so the Dark Reaper Legion is only about 4,000 people so far, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but to face the next battlefield, nearly a million demons in the world of Shattered Star Niskara, such a few people are not enough.
Even if each of them could make a dozen tens, there was little hope.
Although Illidan's Illidare Legion has a large number of soldiers, most of them are recruits who are entering the battlefield for the first time, and it is not a big problem to practice on a small battlefield such as the Dreadmark Rift, but if you really want to enter the combat readiness area of the legion like Niskara, I am afraid that there will be large-scale casualties.
After all, Niskara is not the same as the Dreadrift Rift that hangs alone in the ring of broken stones, the shattered world is very close to Xonos, one of the new home planets of the Dreadlords, and in terms of astronomical units, the two are almost completely adjacent to each other, and the Dark Alliance will not be able to completely blockade Niskara, and once the battle starts there, the demons from Xonos will also rush in...
At that time, let alone winning, in the face of the Legion's Demon Sea, it would already be extremely lucky for the Dark Alliance to be able to escape back.
Therefore, if the Dark Alliance wants to capture Niskara, they must find allies who are good at dealing with this kind of quantitative warfare!
Luckily, they already had such friends, the Order Death Knights born from the Darkblade Legion are all masters of manipulating the undead, this organization that pursues the path of secrecy is not very numerous, but in the face of any opponent, they have never flinched, and they will never be afraid to fight a number war, even if the opponent is enough to drown a small world.
So for the Demon Hunters and Warlocks who are poised to invade Niskara, all they need to do now is convince the die-hard Order Death Knights to join the war.
The problem is, it doesn't seem to be a simple thing either.
—————————————————————————
In the northern valley of the Rift of the Terror, the Demon Hunter Starship "Mallet of Evil Energy", which has fallen here, is being nervously repaired.
The ship itself was not in good condition, when the demons attacked Shatar City, the starship fell from a high altitude to the ground, broke the engine, and damaged the sealed deck of the battleship, such a serious damage is almost completely impossible for the engineers and technicians of Azeroth to deal with, but the Illidare Legion has a special "repair" method.
As mentioned before, in the Illidaray Legion, there is a special demon army, they are all subordinate to the demon hunters, help the demon hunters hunt the demon army, among them there are some Gan Erge demon engineers, the number is very small, but they are the mechanical maintenance masters in the Burning Legion, under the command and leadership of these Gan Erge demon hand-in-command, the goblins and dwarf engineers hired by the demon hunters took several months to repair the broken battleship.
However, the battleship's void engine was still damaged, and it could only barely float in the air, and could not sail in deep space, and after carrying the warlocks' very unreliable "Evil Energy Stargate Prototype", the spaceship went straight to the Dreadrift Rift on the coast of Zoram in the night.
But it was obviously not the right choice to let the blind man drive the spaceship, as soon as the ship entered the territory of the Dreadmark Rift, it fell into the valley again, but this time it was more fortunate that the demon hunters captured a large number of Ganerge Demon Technicians in the Dreadmark Rift, and with their addition, the ship could not only be repaired quickly, but even the broken Void Engine could be restored to the best condition.
"Buzz"
On the bridge of the ship that was being repaired, with the prototype of the evil energy being turned on again, in the swirling vortex light curtain, the Death Knights who were invited to "observe the battlefield" entered this new world from Azeroth.
This time it was not Da Sohan who led the team, but the dwarven lord Kurtaz, this dwarf in black heavy armor carried a heavy white bone battle axe, which looked like a black steel bucket, with a hint of murderous aura in his stockiness, and behind him were 6 high-ranking death knight captains who came with him, and they followed the Grand Lord of Kurtaz to "see the world".
Outside the portal, they were greeted by two demon hunters, a man and a woman, both High Elves, wearing Demon Hunter's standard battle skirt leather armor, his exposed skin was covered with green demon hunting runes, the male demon hunter's eyes were covered with black cloth, his black hair was black, and there were demon hunters' signature demon horns on the top of his head, which were crooked inward, he looked very young, but he had a gloomy temperament.
The woman, on the other hand, wore no blindfold, revealing eyes like green flames, long white hair, and small curved demon horns, unlike other demon hunters, and this woman carried a purple scythe on her back.
"Welcome, Lord of Kurtaz and the Death Knights."
The female demon hunter bowed slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice:
"I have been ordered to receive you, my name is Aleli, and I am a follower of Lord Illidan."
"Ah, Alaly the Soul Eater! I've heard your name, little girl. ”
Kurtaz, with his clawed helmet, said in a shriveled and cold voice:
"I'm well aware of what you've done with your Soul Reaver over the past few years, you're a worthy warrior! As for you..."
The dwarven death knight turned his gaze back to the silent male demon hunter, and he looked at the plausible face, and he whispered:
"You're Kane. Sunfury, right? Rogrio. The son of the sunfury... I've dealt with your father, and I've heard of your record, which is good for a young man, but maybe a little worse than your father. ”
"My father is my father, I am me."
Kane. Sunfury was tired of this question, and he said coldly:
"He has his career, and I have mine, please don't compare me with him."
"Career? Huh"
Kurtaz is a dwarf, and the dwarves have a relatively straightforward personality, and after becoming an undead, this straightforwardness becomes uprightness, and the Grand Knight of the Order is very unceremonious to Kane. Sun Fury Says:
"Do you know what your father did? Do you think he's just a villain who follows Tyrion into his ways? ”
"In Stratholme, your father spent only four hours in that abandoned city, but he saved 270,000 people in the fire that burned the city! If you can have half the power of your father, then Illidan can be considered a real treasure. ”
The Order Death Knight smiled indifferently:
"The question is, do you have one?"
With that, throwing the terrible question aside, Kurtaz walked out of the bridge with his Death Knights, leaving two young demon hunters there speechless, and Soul Eater Alleyly took a few steps closer, and she wiped Kane with some concern. Sunrage's wrist, who let out a few breaths and let his clenched fists loosen, whispered to his companion and girlfriend:
"Don't worry, I'm fine... I know I'm not as good as him, but I'm not going to just give up. ”
The young demon hunter said in a solemn tone:
"I won't always live in my father's shadow, I'll go my own way!"
"Well, I believe you."
Alaly the Soul Eater stood on tiptoe and kissed Kane lightly on the cheek, and she said:
"Let's go, we're still on patrol, look at those Death Knights, they're rude!"
"They're not rude, Alailie."
Kane shook his head, recalling his father's figure, and he whispered:
"They just have their own pride, and even though the Order has completely parted ways with the Darkblade, they have inherited the pride of belonging to the Darkblade Legion in its entirety... Just like my father, it's exactly the same. ”
"Only true heroes and weathered warriors can be respected by them, and apparently, we still have some... Not very qualified. ”
On the other hand, Lord Kurtaz and his Death Knights walked through the land of the Dreadscarf, and when they looked up, they could see the cold, dead stars above, and the rubble that swirled in every direction of the land made the shattered land look fantastic, and the demons had built an artificial barrier of gravity and evil air here, making it almost indistinguishable from the land of Azeroth.
If you just look at your feet, it's hard to imagine that they have already walked among the stars.
Around the Death Knights, the Demon Hunters escorted the valuable demons to the Demon Cage, and the corpses of the worthless demons were thrown directly into the Demon Slaying Flames, becoming the fuel for the energy enchantment of the land, and some wandering warlocks were repairing the equipment damaged by the war, and the entire Terror Rift looked very lively.
"It's hard to imagine that in just a few days, they did it."
The death knight Sassarian, who followed behind the Lord of Kurtaz, whispered:
"The execution of these demon hunters and warlocks is truly amazing! They had just won a war and snatched a piece of land from the demons, which was worthy of admiration. ”
"But they will definitely not be able to finish the next war on their own."
The High Elf Death Knight Kurdila beside Thassarian snorted, and the Death Knight who remained handsome even after death said:
"Isn't that what they're looking for here? The next enemy, they can't face it alone, they need our strength... Seriously, I'd love to take on the demons in the stars, because they don't pose a threat on our territory, and it's a bit boring to fight a victorious war for a long time. ”
"But didn't Grand Knight Dasuohan reject their offer?"
Sasarian Says:
"I thought we'd get rid of them and go it alone."
The conversation between the two Death Knights caught the attention of Lord Kurtaz, and the dwarf turned back and said:
"Da Sohan refused to go to war because he felt that the Warlocks' ideas were unreliable, but now that the Warlocks have proved that their ideas are viable, there is no need for us to miss these wars, after all, this time and that time."
"Everyone is here to protect Azeroth from the poison of the demons, not just to choke the fire, forget the unpleasantness, let's go meet Kel'thugad and Illidan and see what medicine they sell in their gourds."
A few minutes later, the death knights rode the big demon bats domesticated by the demon hunters, and landed next to the evil magma pool where the Abyss Lord lived, where the warlocks of the Black Scythe Council had built a large altar, and the corpse of the original leader of the Fear Rift, the brutal Abyss Lord Jugnos, was wrapped in chains by the warlocks and hung above the evil magma pool, and the demonic blood flowed down the body of Jugnos and dripped into the magma pool below, kicking up a pungent white smoke from time to time.
And in front of the magma pool, on the altar, there is a huge heart, like a mixture of stones and gems, which is the heart of the Abyss Lord, and it is also a precious magic weapon, which is used to charge the large star map projection on the altar.
Illidan and Kel'thugad were standing in front of the chart, the two of them talking about something, and next to the altar, a coquettish and tall witch of destruction was dozing boredly, and at her feet, there was a thin worm whisperer in a red robe, and on the head of the worm whisperer lay the archkarcist's cat, Mr. Bigworth, the well-fed wizard cat, a little drowsy under the heat radiation emitted by the evil magma, and Caridus carefully held the kitten for fear of breaking it.
This was Karidus' first official job in the Black Scythe Council, and the mighty Mr. Kel'thugad had asked him to take care of the noble cat, and it had to do what Mr. Kel'thugad had told, and it didn't want to lose its job.
"Ah, Kurtaz, old friend, you're a little late, but it's not a big problem."
The Grand Karcist turned back and beckoned to the Death Knight:
"Come on, come on! I have good news to share with you. ”
As Kurtaz approached, the Grand Karcist's finger tapped on the phantom of the star map in front of him, pointing to the red-glowing planet in it, and he said to Kurtaz:
"Here! It's called Ksonos, and it's one of the new home planets of the Nasrezm demons, and we've got definite news that the Ancient Demon Sword Apocalypse and Frostmourn have been put on this planet, and I've summoned some demons from there, and they've told me that there's still a piece of ice on the planet Knossos! ”
The Grand Karcist's tone became playful:
"It is said that it is a precious piece of ice, and the ingredients used to make Frostmourn come from the same evil spirit abyss, and most importantly, the home planet of the Nasrezm has long been destroyed, which means that in the current stars, it is the last piece of ghost ice, aren't you planning to make your own legendary weapon?"
"Don't miss this opportunity!" <
