Chapter 378: Surrender
Although the Dreadlord clan is called the "Demon King", that is just to describe their behavior pattern - they are good at gathering many minions and encircling to dominate the territory.
The only people in the Burning Legion who have truly reached the Demon King level are Sargeras's right and left hands - Akmund the Polluter and Kilgardan the Fraudster.
And many lord-level demons below the Demon King level are the backbone of the Burning Legion, unfortunately, Valimathas and Bethires have not reached this level, they are all lower level of Demon Messengers.
The hierarchy between demons is very strict, and the superior demons have a natural coercion over the lower demons.
Varimathas was familiar with this kind of coercion, so it was immediately apparent that Unas had demonized into a lord-level demon higher than it.
"How is this possible?" The Dreadlord felt fear itself for the first time in a long time, "You're just a human who can light the light!" ”
In its long life, it has seen countless races, and the human race with a lifespan of less than a hundred years is just a low-level intelligent creature, and the inferiority of the nature determines that it is impossible for humans to become a high-level demon race.
But it never dreamed that the emerald tree that Unas sacrificed was the source of life condensed by the Izumo cedar that had accumulated tens of thousands of years of life essence and that Gunther had painstakingly instilled in the young bodies of thousands of living beings.
No one expected the richness of this sacrifice, and even Unas did not understand the true value of the Emerald Tree.
And the evil energy created by Sargeras is a very fair energy system - how much you give, how much you get.
Coupled with the subversive increase in the fall of the Holy Light user, Unas crossed several levels in one fell swoop and directly reached the level of the Demon Lord.
Unas didn't say a word, his originally gentle eyes became sharp and cold, his consciousness was not fully restored, and there was only a desire for destruction in his mind.
The obsession before the demon transformation has not disappeared, and the first goal is still to break the Dread Demon King into thousands of pieces.
As soon as the bat's wings moved, Unas's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of the Dreadlord with explosive power that pushed his speed to an extremely high level.
Varimathas didn't even see a shadow, and a pair of steely claws pierced through his chest, and the irresistible force spread directly to the left and right through these claws, trying to tear the demon in half from his chest.
The idea of resistance only existed for half a second before disappearing, and with a "bang", the demon took out the escape stunt at the bottom of the box, and exploded into a cloud of blue mist, and dozens of bats, large and small, flew away in all directions in the fog.
The claws missed, but Unas's figure was not affected in the slightest, and immediately launched a pursuit, only to see his figure flashing continuously in the air, and the speed was exerted to the limit, and one by one the bat clones burst into blood mist without interruption and fell down, and they were killed in the blink of an eye.
But there were still fish that slipped through the woods, and the Cursed Vision had locked onto it, and Unas immediately fell back into the forest.
Beneath the forest, Varimasas had reverted to its original form, surrounded by the undead's henchmen, but it did not have the kingly posture of a few minutes ago, its scattered eyes and vain stance showed that the demon was weakened to the extreme—it was devastated by the death of ninety percent of its bat clones.
Its huge claws were pinching the back of a girl's neck, and that was its last card, "How about we make a deal?" ”
Unas looked at this scene, and there was no fluctuation in his heart at all.
After the killing vent just now, his consciousness has awakened from the chaos of the initial demonization, and the memories before the demonization have begun to recover one by one.
Luisa, the familiar and lovely face of memory, now seemed meaningless.
The beautiful emotions of human beings have disappeared in Unas's heart, and any love, friendship, and family affection have no value, and he even feels that it is more beautiful to add a few bloody cracks to the face of this girl with pear blossoms and rain, or to turn her into a broken corpse.
It is impossible for the Dreadlord not to know this, but in desperation, it still has a one-ten-thousandth luck mentality, and feels that the paladin retains a trace of humanity.
Looking at the indifferent eyes of the new Demon Lord, Warimathas knew that he had guessed wrong, the undead soldiers around him were well-equipped and well-trained, but they could not give him any sense of security, it knew that it was just a piece of thin paper in front of the other party.
If you don't want to be erased, you can only bow your head first, Varimathas is very good at this, and there is no psychological barrier, from the Burning Legion to the Banshee King to this new demon, how much difference is there?
"I am willing to submit to you and obey your orders..."
Unas laughed evilly and interrupted, "What are you worth? ”
After his mind cleared up, he stopped blindly pursuing the destructive impulse of revenge and returned to normal thinking.
"I can control half of the forces of the Undercity, and I—I know the true identity of this human woman!"
"Oh?"
"She is the sister of Arthas, the only remaining bloodline of the royal family of Lordaeron!"
"Really?" Unas was taken aback, "How do you know?" ”
"Just a ...... by chance"
It turned out that a few weeks ago, the Western Defense Line under the jurisdiction of Varimasas had intercepted a human five-man team that wanted to smuggle to the south.
Although the number of this team was small, the combat effectiveness was very strong, but in the end, it also fell to the disparity in numbers, three were killed, and two fled.
Due to the heavy casualties and few results in the battle, the Dreadlord also paid attention to this matter.
The corpses of the stowaways were naturally used to replenish the army, and one of them retained his memories after being transformed into an undead, and was interrogated and confessed by demons.
It turned out that they were escorting Her Royal Highness the princess of Lordaeron! The demon was ecstatic, and immediately thought of a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.
It deliberately leaked this secret to Nathanos-Blightcaster, the Queen's most loyal adherent and the Demon's greatest political enemy, often secretly monitoring and spying on its movements, just in time to clear the annoying fly while the Queen was not in the city.
Nathanos was very excited when he got the news, and if he could catch the blood of Minahir, he would definitely be able to please the queen greatly, and he immediately set about it.
The Withercall's usual shrewdness was blinded by a strong utilitarian mind, and he sent out all the living spies he trained secretly.
The spies infiltrate human territory and quickly find their target, but at the same time they get the news that the princess is about to be sent underground.
The magic teleportation array in human territory is heavily guarded, and once the princess is sent away, it will be even more difficult to find it again.
The Blightbolt immediately began an emergency operation, and to make sure nothing went wrong, he decided to go into battle himself.
He is also the most elite living spy, and the kidnapping operation goes smoothly at the beginning and has many twists and turns in the middle, but in the end, his praying mantis is ruthlessly swallowed by the yellow finch played by Varimasas.
