Volume 8: War and Peace Chapter 5: The Fate of the Black Dragon Princess
Fifty-five kilometers northwest of Blackstone Mountain, a semi-weathered ruin.
It used to be an altar. At the end of the First Age, with the collapse of the Elven Empire, the trolls once extended their sphere of influence to the current Minas Kingdom of Laslofer Province, that was the most glorious moment for the trolls, the elves were constantly fighting among themselves because of division, and the human race had just escaped the control of the elves and had not yet risen, the undead were accumulating numbers in the north of the continent, and the demons were busy fighting with their relatives living in the bottomless abyss. On the one hand, they left their mark on these lands, and the altar was one of the most important.
Time passed, the former elven empire was wiped out, and the glorious era of trolls lasted less than half a century before the ambitions of the various tribes swelled and came to an end, followed by the rise of humanity and the southward movement of the undead, and the altar built on the burning plains was forgotten, reduced to ruins by time and breeze.
In the center of the ruins, there was only one pedestal left at the main altar, and a magic circle began to operate, and a white light shrouded it, and Onexia, who had taken human form, appeared in the center of the altar. This is the teleportation location she has specially chosen, and although the altar built by the trolls is in ruins, the remaining magical power in it is still enough to hide the existence of the magic circle.
However, before she could take a step, an even larger magic array appeared in an instant, this magic array was so huge, just the center of the magic circle, surrounded the entire altar.
With the activation of the huge magic array, countless elemental shackles appeared from the surrounding air, binding Onexia tightly with lightning speed.
No matter how slow she was, the black dragon princess had already realized that she had been ambushed, and at the moment when the elemental shackles were imminent, she quickly recovered the form of the black dragon, trying to break these elemental shackles that were not as thick as an arm by relying on the great strength of the dragon clan.
But the ambusher had apparently expected this, and the moment the seemingly slender elemental chains came into contact with Onexia, they swelled to the thickness of a bucket, and Onexia, who saw this, had no time to react, and could only watch as he was firmly bound by these elemental chains, fixed to the altar like a prisoner.
The huge body smashed against the hard boulder of the altar with a dull sound, and the head that slammed on the edge of the altar was dizzy, and out of the corner of his eye, Onexia saw a knight in armor walking out from behind the broken wall not far away.
The undead steed under the knight's crotch explained the identity of the other party, which made Onexia feel an ominous premonition.
"I didn't expect it to go so well!" Rasuvios looked at the black dragon princess who had no power to resist, and showed a rare smile.
"Undead, do you think this will trap me?" Onexia watched as the undead soldiers kept popping up from all around, and although most of them were just skeletons and ghouls, there were still some ghouls and undead knights mixed in. However, as she said, neither these undead nor the elemental shackles that were binding her could completely trap her as a black dragon princess, even if the undead knight in front of her was a heroic-level existence.
The gap between the legendary level and the heroic level is very obvious, this gap not only refers to the strength, but also the understanding of the rules and origin power, as if these elemental shackles, maybe for the only hero-level La Suvios, these elemental shackles that consumed a lot of resources are enough for him to be unable to resist, but for the legendary-level Black Dragon Princess, these are just a little tricky troubles, or a few minutes, when she cracks the order of the elements on these elemental shackles, It's easy to break free.
What Onexia could understand, of course Rasousvios also understood, as a rigid instructor, this undead knight would never be arrogant enough to think that the strength of himself and these undead soldiers alone would be enough to capture the famous Black Dragon Princess.
One, two, three, and three heroic beings appeared around the altar, which made the corners of Onexia's eyes jump a few times, and it was clear that the person who arranged all this was very cautious.
The three people who appeared were all the hero-level combat power that Yu Bin could use in his hands now, the undead knight Kurdila Weaver, the necromancer Tarsis Kemodir, and the former royal guard Garimos, plus Rasuvios, these can be said to be the only four hero-level combat power that Yu Bin has at hand now, the earth-walking dragon Tuses is just a pseudo-hero, and has not yet completely entered the hero-level realm, and the Assassin Kene, who was resurrected by Yu Bin with the Soul Suppression Bead, is because he became an undead. The original hero-level strength has dropped by half a level, and now he stays in Naxxramas to guard Yu Bin's lair.
Onexia's face was gloomy, but fortunately she was now in the form of a black dragon, and it was difficult to see this expression on the dragon's face, but it did not make her feel the slightest joy. She had just escaped from the Black Wing's Lair when she was at her weakest, and the injuries that Nefarian had left on her body had only been simply suppressed by her, and if these four heroic undead had to kill her at all costs, it would be very difficult for her to survive.
"Hmph, you filthy skeletons are still the same, will you just play these shady tricks? Do you think you alone can defeat me, Black Dragon Princess Onexia? Although Onexia knew that it would be difficult for her to compete with these undead, she knew that any weakness would only make her defeat come faster, so she did not hesitate to suspend her interpretation of the elemental shackles, and mobilized her strength to struggle violently, making the elemental shackles tied to her body make a series of harsh sounds, sounding as if they would collapse at any time under her resistance.
"If they can't, what about me?" A deep voice made Onexia's resistance stop instantly, and a middle-aged human man in a black cloth robe stepped out and looked at Onexia who had fallen on the altar with hatred.
The black dragon princess's huge dragon eyes opened angrily: "Lacio!! ”
A claw with a shadow flame slapped on Onexia's head, interrupting the black dragon princess's roar, a huge shadow door opened above the altar, and the shadow three-headed dog Sebrigark walked out, and the head burning with black and purple shadow flames stared coldly at the black dragon princess who was trampled under his feet.
"Yes, it's me, the leader of the Black Dragon Legion, Lacio, who was betrayed by you and Nefarian!" The man in black, Lasio, took a step forward and said through gritted teeth, "If it weren't for you and Nefarian, that traitor, how could Her Majesty be imprisoned by that slut of Rose, and how could the Black Dragon Legion become what it is now!" You are the ones who have caused all this, Onexia, and now is the time for you to atone for your sins! ”
Finally realized who was calculating herself, the black dragon princess reluctantly raised her head slightly from the ground: "Haha, it seems that that Snestra slut has finally returned!" If I had known this, I should have mended her with my own hands! ”
"Shut up, sinner!" As the most loyal subordinate of Sinestra, how could the three-headed shadow dog Sebrigark let Onexia insult his master so blatantly, the shadow flames on his body burned violently, and his claws pressed Onicia's head back to the ground, "Otherwise I will bite off your head, and then let those necromancers turn you into a puppet, so that your soul will never return to the Dragon Sanctuary!" ”
As one of the oldest creatures in the continent of Entagre, the dragons have carved out an area in Northrend as their sleeping place, and have established a temple of dragon sleep there, guarded by various dragons, and the soul of each dead dragon will return there.
Feeling the power of the three-headed shadow dog on her body, Onexia knew that this was an existence that had entered the legend like Lacio, not to mention that compared to her, the three-headed dog of Shadow had a higher control over the shadow power, obviously this was also one of the means used by the other party to fight her, as long as there was the three-headed shadow dog of Sebrigalk, the shadow power that Onexia was proud of could not have any effect.
"Hehe, hahaha." Pressed to the ground, Onexia spat out words in a slurred tone, "So, your majesty asked your two dogs to capture me?" What is she going to do with me? What to do with me, who is also an ancient species like her? Death? Or is it eternal captivity? ”
Lasio clenched his hands into fists, eager to kill the female dragon in front of him, but as Onexia said, he did not have the right to deal with Onexia, who was the same ancient species as Sinestera, and the black dragon princess could ignore the ancient covenant and join Nefarian to betray Sinestra, but he couldn't do the same, which would cause him to be charged with dragon rebellion.
"Hahaha, hahaha!!" Looking at Lacio's unwilling eyes, Onexia laughed, "Can't refute it?" Even if you defeat me today, I am still an ancient seed with the blood of the creator god in my veins, and if you want to judge me, unless His Majesty Nesario is resurrected, there is nothing that can happen to Nessera! ”
Unlike ordinary dragons, the reason why Onexia is called the Black Dragon Princess, in addition to her own strength, also has the reason of pure blood in her body, and like Sinestra, Onexia and Nefarian are among the first dragons to be born, and purely in terms of blood, they are on the same level as Sinestera.
"Lord Lacio, if you can't do it, we can do it for you!" The necromancer Tarsis Kemodir opened his mouth and said that since he was given to Yu Bin by Andrew, this ambitious necromancer has always wanted to find an opportunity to make a meritorious contribution in front of his new master, but for some reason, even Rasousvios, who has always been unpopular, has been entrusted with the task of forming the Knights of the Black Blade, and he, a heroic necromancer, has been assisting the lich Martan in Naxxramas with some management work, which makes him very dissatisfied. Now that he was finally sent out by Yu Bin to carry out such an important task, how could he let go of this opportunity.
In Tarsis's opinion, as long as Lacio agrees to let him deal with the black dragon princess Onexia, then he dares to turn this black dragon into a puppet under his control, and when the time comes, whether it is used to show merit to Yu Bin or to rely on himself to set up another mountain, it will be a good prop.
Hearing Tacis's words, a trace of struggle flashed in Lacio's eyes, as if it was difficult to make up his mind, which made Sebrigark couldn't help but speak: "Lacio, have you forgotten Your Majesty's order?" ”
As a black dragon, it is difficult for Lacio to accept letting his own people become puppets of others, even if Onexia is a traitor in his eyes, but this will still disgrace the entire black dragon clan, but Sebrigalk, who is a three-headed dog of shadows, does not have this kind of trouble, in his eyes, as long as it is the order of His Majesty Nessestra, it must be completed to the letter.
Under the gaze of Rasuvios and several people, Lacio took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Onexia who showed disdain: "Black Dragon Princess Onexia, in the name of Her Majesty Sinestra, Lord of Shadows, Guardian of the Dungeon, and Queen of the Black Dragon, I declare that you have been deprived of the identity of the Black Dragon Clan!" ”
After Lasio finished speaking, Onexia suddenly struggled violently, which made Sebrigark have to increase the force of suppression: "Nonsense, you are lying!" What qualifies that slut of Sinestra to remove me? What qualifications does she have to pronounce on me, who is also an ancient species? ”
"Although His Majesty Sinestella is not qualified, the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep does!" Now that he has spoken, Lacio is no longer entangled.
"Hahaha, Dragon Sleep Temple? Why are they? Just because I betrayed that slut of Sinestra? This is the clan affairs of the Black Dragon Clan, even the Dragon Sleeping Temple has no right to interfere! ”
"Yes, if it was just you who betrayed us, Your Majesty would not submit this kind of matter to the Dragon Sleeping Temple for discussion, although the Black Dragon Clan is down, but they can't afford to lose this person!" Lacio said hatefully, "The reason why the Dragon's Sleep Temple sentenced you is because you have committed a greater sin!" ”
"A greater sin?"
"That's right! Black Dragon Onexia, in the name of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep and the God of Creation, from today onwards, you will no longer be a member of the Elder Dragons, your death will not be wanted by the Dragons, and your soul will not be able to return to the Obsidian Temple! As he spoke, Lacio held up a gem in his hand, and from Onexia's forehead, a stream of black energy visible to the naked eye was extracted, and it quickly poured into the gem, dyeing the originally pure white gem black.
"Why? Why!! Feeling that he had lost some kind of strength in his body, Onexia, who was originally not afraid, showed a frightened look on his face, and even did not hesitate to be strangled by the elemental shackles, and struggled violently with all his strength, questioning Lasio loudly.
Lacio looked coldly at Onexia who had lost the name of the dragon clan, being removed from the Dragon Sleep Temple meant that she would no longer be able to rely on this identity to get the support of the dragon clan from now on, what does this mean, not only Onyxia is clear, but Racio is also very clear: "Black Dragon Princess, maybe I will call you that for the last time, do you think that no one really knows about the things you plotted?" Vainly trying to bring the power of the void into this world is a felony that tries to subvert the origin of the world! Perhaps the Dragon's Sleep Temple would not have been able to convene a dragon council to sanction you before His Majesty Sinestra returned, but now that the Black Dragons have returned to our king, your crimes will be severely punished! ”
Onexia finally knew what was happening, the rescued Marshal Wendsol, the sudden outbreak of the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, the threatened secret room, and the undead who appeared in front of her and gave birth to the Void Dragon, all of them finally strung together in a thread!
But she understood too late, in fact, the moment Marshal Windsor was rescued, she had already lost, and all that remained was the question of how far she had lost.
And obviously, how could Yu Bin, as a reborn person, let this sinister female dragon leave a chance to turn the tables!
