Chapter 295: Untitled (4)
(Copy the top of the chapter, correct it the day after tomorrow)
"I didn't expect that there is such a treasure house below, with these crystals, my people will all be cured!" Pereira exclaimed, "Your Excellency, please help keep them!" β
Angela nodded silently, and the three fire elementals quickly squeezed in through the gap, and split up to pick up the few activated fire crystals, as long as they were taken out of this large hole full of potential bombs, they should be able to cut off the chain explosion.

Seeing that a fire elemental had grabbed a crystal and was about to pull it out from the mountain wall, a strong light came from the other side, and the image on the water mirror shook a few times and turned into pitch black, at the same time, everyone clearly heard a few muffled sounds coming from the mountain, and the earth shook slightly.
There is no need for Angela to explain, everyone also knows that the fire elementals have been blown up, and this explosion may activate other crystals, and if this continues, the crystals in the cave will be exhausted sooner or later.
Unas couldn't do anything about it, the cave in the smoke was inaccessible to anyone who needed to breathe, and Pereira once again turned her attention to Angela for help.
"I have no other better way but to continue to send fire elementals to grab crystals, if I am lucky, I may be able to succeed," Angela summoned three more fire men, "but I can only control three fire elements at a time, I'm afraid it is not enough, and the water elemental can't survive in such a dense flame environment for too long, so I can only move the rescuers, please allow me to notify the blood elf mages to come to help, and I will also send a signal for help to Duane." β
"No problem, you can inform them." Unas immediately nodded in agreement, the blood elf mages who had recovered their strength and Helen were on the front line to defend the earthen wall, and they should be able to come over soon, and the crystal mine was also related to Duan's interests, and he would come eighty percent, but I don't know what conditions he would make.
Angela silently recited the incantation, silently sending magic signals in both directions, and drew a six-star circle on the ground.
"What is this?" Unas whispered to Pereira on the side.
"The space node circle is used for the positioning of the mage's teleportation technique."
As soon as the words fell, the light was everywhere, and two figures appeared on the magic circle, and in the next second, Du An and Huo Ye clearly appeared in front of everyone.
"What's the matter, I'm with Master Fireleafβ" Duane wanted to complain as soon as he arrived, but turned his head to see the group of Silver Dawn stopping, "I didn't expect Lord Tairosus to be there, it's rude." β
The one-eyed baron just wanted to socialize, when another muffled sound came, and Duane suddenly looked back at the mountain wall, only to find the mine cave with thick smoke, he immediately frowned and said, "The concussion of the fire element is quite strong, what happened?" β
Unas took another slob, and after hearing what happened, Huoye was more anxious than Pereira, "What are we waiting for?" Let's get started, every explosion means our losses are magnifying! β
Unas motioned for him to be calm, "Wait for the other blood elf mages, they are estimated to have come on horseback, and it will take a while, and the three of you can summon the fire man to get ready." β
The fire leaf immediately began to cast the spell, and four circles of light appeared on the ground at the same time, and one after another the fire man emerged from it, and soon accumulated more than a dozen, the tall, short, fat and thin were different, and the fire leaf himself was tired enough, but it seemed that he wanted to summon again, which was completely impatient.
Unas hurriedly shouted to stop: "It's useless to have a lot of numbers, you have to be flexible and fast, and your strength can't be small, and the fire that can quickly remove the activated crystal and take it out of the underground cave is useful." β
Huoye patted his head in a sudden realization, and immediately began to remediate the work, the three of them merged with each other, and soon the twelve turned into four tall elemental creatures that were almost exactly the same strong and mighty.
The other two didn't have this kind of technique, Angela still summoned three fire men that were the same as before, and although Duane was a fire type, he mainly focused on studying the magic circle, and only summoned three.
In this way, there were a total of ten fire men, and the chances of success were greatly improved, and at this time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and the blood elf mages finally arrived.
Unas didn't want to waste another saliva, and directly ordered them to summon the fire element, five of the seven blood elves and Helen are all fire type, this is due to the fact that the general destructive power of fire spells is the strongest, and most of the people learn magic to kill enemies, so the fire system is the most popular spell faction in the world.
Six more new armies were added, and when all the mages were ready, Unas gave an order, and sixteen burning men lined up in a long line and galloped towards the mine.
The image appeared again on the water mirror, and the Burning Man team sped forward through the cracks in the ground, and soon reached the outside of the large underground cavern, and with the accumulation of rubble for a short period of time, the gap leading to the large hole was only the thickness of an arm.
The mages hurriedly controlled the burning man to pull away the rubble and widen the gap a bit, only to see that six or seven more crystals were activated in the red-filled cavern, and it looked like it was about to explode.
A few people were just about to order the Burning Man to go in, but Unas stopped, "It's too late!" Duck back and rush in as soon as this explosion happens! β
Before the words fell, the light shot out of the gap suddenly blazed several times, and the picture of the water mirror shook violently, accompanied by another rumbling sound, which was probably the most violent explosion so far.
Although there was a pile of rubble, four burning men were directly destroyed by the shockwave on the spot, turning into sparks and dissipating into the air, and the others were also injured.
"It's now!" Unas woke up the stunned mages with a loud roar, and the surviving burning men swarmed into the cave.
The scene in the cave surprised everyone again, only to see a crimson monster emerge out of nowhere, the monster body is snake-tailed, a dozen gray and black twisted corners grow in an arrangement on his arms, shoulders and the top of his head, two fleshy tentacles hang down from both sides of his chin, his facial features look like lizard-like creatures, only three fingered claws clench a crooked spear, and its whole body seems to be burning against the red scales.
"Fire Demon!" Huoye called out the name of the monster and asked everyone's questions, "Where did this monster come from?" β
No one could answer his question, and now was not the time to pursue this, and the fire demon clearly did not regard the fire men of the mages as companions, and it rushed forward and raised its spear to stab the fire man in the lead.
The Burning Man, an energetic creature, is immune to most physical attacks, but the Fire Demon's spear seems to have special damage, and the sparks are flying everywhere, and the entire arm of the Burning Man who raises his hand to block it is scattered by the spear.
The fire demon danced his spear and attacked several more times, easily dismembering the fire man who only belonged to Angela.
Judging from this situation, the remaining eleven fire people combined may not be able to defeat it, and more importantly, their purpose was not to destroy the fire demon in the first place, Unas immediately decided: "Fire Leaf, you deal with it, and the others continue to get crystals!" β
The four fire men of the fire leaf are the strongest, and they don't expect them to defeat the fire demon, at least pestering it for a while so that the others can get their hands on it.
Huoye immediately understood the garrison's intentions, and the four fire men quickly floated forward to surround the enemy, and the fire demon couldn't break through for a while.
The last explosion activated a total of eight crystals, and the remaining seven fire men ran to the four walls of the cave, and quickly got five of them, but there were still three that were firmly embedded in the stone walls, and they couldn't pick them off.
Time waited for no one, and Unas was so anxious that he shouted: "The three are in charge, let me come out of them all!" β
The highly concentrated mages subconsciously obeyed the order, and the fire people swarmed back, only the fire man of the fire leaf stayed behind to break the queen, at this time the fire demon had already eliminated the two fire men besieging it, and the remaining two also escaped immediately after the other fire people withdrew.
The fire demon chased to the gap, and with its flesh and blood body, it could not twist the size of its body at will, but could only spin around in front of the gap irritably.
All five activated crystals were handed over to a fireman in good condition, and it carried the time bombs away from the underground cave quickly, and the other eight firemen did not move quickly or slowly in the cracks in the ground, they had to keep a distance from the underground hole and the companion carrying the time bomb in front of them, so as not to be hurt by the explosion on both sides.
It didn't take long for the remaining three crystals in the underground cavern to explode first, and the mages immediately ordered the Burning Man team to turn back, and the Burning Man with five activated crystals on the other side also exploded when he was about to reach the surface, widening this section of the crack again and causing a large amount of rubble to roll down.
Luckily, the Burning Man team drilled into the hole again before the gravel completely blocked the gap, and everyone thought that there would be a fire demon killed or injured on the water mirror, but to disappointment, there was nothing in the hole except for a new layer of rubble, and the fire demon disappeared without a trace.
The good news is that none of the crystals were activated by the explosion this time, and they were safe for the time being, Pereira and Fire Leaf breathed a sigh of relief, and the energy of the clan was finally saved, but the other mages did not relax, and the Burning Man team immediately dispersed, carefully searching for traces of the fire demon in the big hole.
Every inch of the hole the size of half a football field has been covered by the fire man, but there is still no trace of the fire demon, is it buried under the rubble?
It's always a threat if you don't solve this problem completely, but it seems that it will be difficult to find it with these eight fire men.
The mages controlled the fire man remotely, although it was not a long time, but they were already in good spirits with all their might, and after searching for another quarter of an hour, they still found nothing, so Unas had to order them to pause and rest.
After consoling a few mages, Tairosos came to Unas, "I originally wanted to go to your front line to have a look, but I didn't expect this to happen, it seems that I can't make the trip." β
"Thanks to the adults who summoned Miss Angela to help this time, otherwise I don't know how big the loss would be, thank you." Unas hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't say such polite words between comrades," Tyrossos patted him on the shoulder, "and your command is also very good, and you should thank yourself a lot." β
"My lord laughed."
The one-eyed baron smiled slightly: "I have something I want to talk to you about alone." β
The top boss said that it would not be a good thing to talk to you alone, but Unas could not refuse, he nodded, and the two walked to a boulder in the distance.
"Holya's death... How's your investigation going? "Tairossos got straight to the point, and this was the first task he gave Unas.
Sure enough, he couldn't escape, Unas rubbed his chin and decided to tell the truth, of course, he decided to hide the rescue of Emily, because it could easily involve the prison escape.
After listening to the ins and outs of the whole thing, Tairosos frowned, a wave of anger contained in it, and finally couldn't help but scold: "Something that doesn't make it!" β
Of course, it was the kidnapper Holia who was scolded, and what he did was really not on the table, Unas hurriedly lowered the fire: "I'm afraid that this matter will spread and affect the reputation of Silver Dawn, so I didn't report it to the adults in writing, and I ask for your forgiveness after delaying it for so long." β
"You have done a good job, I have never advocated the use of drastic means to deal with problems, although it is not right for the gnomes and other races to unite in private revenge, but they are victims and forgivable, and I agree with your pardon for them."
Terosos praised a few more words, expressing his satisfaction with Unas's handling of the overall situation, "If the dwarf mastermind is executed, I am afraid it will provoke a new round of hatred, which is very bad for the Silver Dawn, and it is our basic strategy to calm the contradictions with the aliens and unite their forces." β
Listening to his words, Unas was very conflicted in his heart, although Holia made a mistake, but the crime is not to death, the one-eyed baron understated this point on the grounds of the overall situation is a little chilling, is he just a pawn that can be discarded at any time in his eyes?
But this was his own decision after all, after that meeting, the elven dwarf gnomes were very obedient, and the mushrooms, the mines, and the victory over the spiders were all achieved with their help, which was in their own interests.
Tairosos coughed dryly and continued, "When I inspected the stronghold today, I found that all races are very in awe of you, and it is not easy to do this, I heard... They gave you a nickname? β
Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, "Executioner Paladin" is not a good reputation, Unas deliberately gaged: "Do you mean the demon slayer or the saint, these good names are everyone's wrong love, I can't afford it." β
"Hehe," Tyrosos' laughter was somewhere between sneering and laughing, and he ignored Unus's joke and said solemnly, "It's good to have the courage to destroy the enemy, but don't be too murderous young people, it will affect your path of light." β
"Thank you for your teachings."
Unas could only listen honestly, but secretly said in his heart that Lao Tzu didn't kill the enemy with his own hands, where did he get the experience upgrade? In the future, you will only kill more, and the title of executioner will accompany you for a while, but there is a good saying, killing one person is a criminal, killing ten thousand people is a hero, killing all people you are a conqueror, and maybe one day you can become a conqueror yourself.
"I've heard that you've 'convinced' all the captives to fight for you in a short period of time and have treated them well, and to be honest, I was taken aback to see their unshackled coolies in the colony, orcs and trolls are not so easily subdued, how did you do that?"
Tairosus stared at Unas's eyes, not only because of his personal doubts, but also because the paladins who had come with him were also suspicious of the question, and they had to get an explanation.
Sure enough, it still came, Unas had already been mentally prepared for this problem, and he couldn't blame others for being suspicious if he was too rough, and the use of evil energy must not be revealed.
He came up with the same rhetoric to deal with Erigor - after killing the Dreadlord King, he inherited his coercion, so the captives who were originally demon's subordinates were naturally afraid of him.
This reason was very illusory, and Taylor Soston asked after a while, "Can such a thing as spiritual coercion be inherited in this way?" I've seen many warriors who have slain all kinds of demons, but I've never heard of it. β
"I don't know what happened to the others, but that's exactly what happened to me," Unas insisted, "The Dreadlord is known as a master of spiritual magic, maybe it has something to do with his spells?" β
"I've seen two of the people who killed the Dreadlord with their own hands, but none of them seem to be like you," Tairosus patted the hilt of his sword one by one, and the doubts in his heart did not dissipate, "Maybe you are a special case. β
Both of them were silent for a while, and Unas did not rush to prove his innocence, the more he said, the easier it was to make mistakes.
Tairosos thought for a while and said: "This matter must be investigated, the Dreaddemon King died but left his influence on you, this is not a good thing, many powerful demons in history who have confirmed death will reappear after thousands of years or even decades, which shows that the demon clan must have a special resurrection method, and the spiritual power you inherited will not be without a source, maybe you have a dark stake left by Bethrius for his resurrection in the future!" β
Unas was shocked, Tairosos's guess was very close to the truth, what he had on him was not a demon's stake, but a wisp of the remnant soul of the Dreaddemon King, etc., who could say that this remnant soul was not a dark pile?
Bethreus has always tempted him to use evil energy, and must be seeking a way to restore his strength and resurrect him, Unas used evil energy not to fall for him, but felt that it was very advantageous to use evil energy within a controllable range, Overlord Spider, Captive Army, and Rose Byrne were all obtained with the help of demons, and it was impossible for Unas to give up.
"I know my body best, there is nothing wrong with it."
"No, this matter is to be left to the professionals," Tairossos's tone was unquestionable, "I will ask Brother Anton to examine your body, he is a master of demonic spells, and he says that it is really okay." β
Another trouble that had to be accepted, if Unas tried his best to refuse, it would only arouse suspicion, deal with it first, and then find a way to get rid of it when the monk came, he nodded and thanked: "Thank you for your concern." β
"One more thing, daughter of Count Garnis......"
"She's a free person, and she's completely willing to stay here to help, and I won't take the initiative to drive her away." Unas will not make concessions in this matter, where can a mid-level mage with unlimited potential and loyalty go to find it?
Tairosos smiled bitterly, knowing that Unas's attitude could not be shaken, and persuaded: "Count Garnis and I are both lords of the northern realms, and we have a good relationship, and now the nobles of the northern lords are also giving me the greatest support, and many members of the Silver Dawn are from there, you must be kind to the old earl." β
The Northern Lords, located northeast of Stratholm City, on the border between Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, have all fallen, but the surviving lords' desire to reclaim the land has not been extinguished, and they are a large force in a group.
No wonder a few of the people who followed Tairosus to inspect this time looked at themselves very wrongly, it turned out that they had offended people, and Unas thanked him again: "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention in the future." β
Tairosos let out a sigh and pressed Unas's shoulder, "Although there are some flaws, I have seen what you have done during this time, what I want to say to you is that I have no regrets about appointing you as the garrison here, do a good job, the silver dawn is waiting for us!" β
Looking at the baron's glittering one-eyed, Unas wanted to play a scene where the subordinate was appreciated and grateful, but he couldn't squeeze out half a tear, so he had to kneel down on one knee with a sigh, "My subordinates are willing to serve Silver Dawn to the death!" β
Tairosos helped him up, "I said I didn't need to be so polite. β
Unas sneered in his heart, what you said was so emotional, how to explain the past if labor and management don't show loyalty!
After the "interrogation" ended, the two happily returned to the grass where everyone was resting, and Unas secretly decided to establish his own intelligence department.
Tairosus knew so well about him, it wasn't for hearsay and today's inspections, his daily activities must have been turned into reports on the desk of the One-Eyed Baron, and the MI of Silver Dawn was not only investigating the spies of the Cult of the Damned, but also staring at the garrison!
Now the only person who can be fully trusted by Unas's side is Natasha, and the Shadow Priest was originally engaged in underground work, so it should not be a big problem to help form a military intelligence unit.
The underground cave was completely stabilized, and no fire crystals were activated, and several fire men stood guard in the cave, but the fire demon still didn't find it.
According to the Fire Leaf, although the Fire Demon is flesh and blood, it is a native creature of the Fire Source Realm, which is very rare in Azeroth, and he has only seen it in books for three hundred years.
When the work of Tairossos was completed and the situation in the cave had stabilized, he offered to take his leave, but Angela and Duane chose to stay, and the two mages were very interested in the fire demon and had the posture of not giving up until they understood it.
The paladins were not as curious as the mages, and under the guidance of the one-eyed baron, they mounted and went home, and Unas himself sent them out of the valley before hurrying back, and he was also interested in the fire demon.
Duane expressed his speculation: "The first possibility, it was summoned there by someone, has been living underground, living by sucking the energy in the fire crystal, which is barely reasonable, the second possibility is dangerous, there may be a spatial crack in the underground cave that leads to the boundary of the fire source, it came by accident, and it escaped back when the explosion occurred, so it can come and go without a trace." β
Obviously, the second option was more convincing, and several mages seemed to have a fixed idea in their minds, Unas asked, "If there is a spatial rift, the creatures of the Fire Source Realm may run over at any time, which is a great threat to our mining work. β
"Don't worry, adults, this kind of spatial rift leading to other planes will appear all over the world for various reasons, how to seal them is a compulsory course for mages, and this matter will be left to us." Duane suddenly became a warm-hearted person, and he almost patted his chest as a guarantee.
"So how did this rift come about? Is it because of the crystal explosion? β
"We also want to figure out this problem, but whether it is to investigate the spatial rift or seal it, it is not possible outside, we must go down to the underground cave in person." Angela's expression didn't look very optimistic.
"Judging from the previous situation on the water mirror, the ground crack as a whole has indeed been blown up a lot wider, but there are still a few narrow places that the human body can't pass, and the gravel accumulated underground is also an obstacle that cannot be avoided, even if I mobilize all the people to clean up, it is not an easy job to open a tunnel more than 100 meters deep underground, and it is expected to be ......."
"Who said we're going to go down?" Angela interrupted him, "There is a fire man as a coordinate, when the temperature inside drops and the black smoke clears, we can directly teleport in." β
It's a dangerous approach, but Unas didn't object, of course, this matter should be solved as soon as possible while the mages are all working, lest a few fire demons suddenly appear when digging the passage in the future.
"It's too dangerous for you to go in like this, and I can't afford anything to happen, so take me and a few of my men with you as a guard."
Angela smiled, "I'm about to ask you, all of our mages should be able to teleport in 10 to 15 people at a time, and it should be enough to deal with that fire demon." β
The three strongest mages Angela, Duane and Fire Leaf must enter, and the remaining ten or so places are all determined by Unas, and the members of the elite team are of course the first choice, and it just so happens that the two teams sent by the stronghold and the front line to investigate the sound of the explosion are also there, so he immediately sent them back to gather people.
After a while, the elite team led by Marcus came to him, the four selected young men, the Night Moon and the Dwarven Bronze Hammer brothers were all there, in addition to the orc warriors Cruz Fireblade and Natasha, who had performed well in the last battle, Whitemayne was also at the end, Unas didn't call her, could it be that he heard the wind and followed him?
The two have not spoken since the last resurrection of Moore, and the memory of Whitemayne has been blocked, coupled with a head injury, and all this time of recuperation, Natasha has been accompanying (monitoring) her, when the sudden run makes Unas a little nervous.
He called Natasha aside for a secret conversation, and after greeting her, he asked directly, "What's the matter with Whiteman, why did you bring her here?" β
"Don't worry, my lord, she can't even remember who Moll is now, but her obsession with learning the resurrection technique has not diminished, and I heard that there may be a battle, so I must follow, so I brought her," Natasha replied softly, "I think a high-ranking priest must have helped your lordship in battle." β
"As long as she doesn't have to embarrass me anymore, it's good to have one more healer."
"Adults can rest assured that after my 'teaching' during this time, the lion will also become a docile cat."
The so-called "teaching" must refer to the subtle spiritual aspect, Unas did not assign Natasha to do this kind of follow-up work, I didn't expect her to be willing to take the initiative to help, it seems that the matter of the MIA can really ask her.
