Chapter 34: Betrayal

A pair of heavy iron boots stepped on the soft grass, and a deathly cold chill emanated from the black armor.

"Your Royal Highness, this is our captive."

Captain Farrick said, throwing a High Elf scout in front of Arthas, who was still as loyal to his prince as he had been in his life, following him by his side. Immediately, there was a muffled sound on the ground.

"Ah, what a beautiful elf, tell me where the key to unlock the magical barrier of Quel'Salas is, tell me, and I'll make you die a happy death."

Immediately afterward, the elven captive was picked up by the death knight Arthas, who was struggling, his feet kicking around because he couldn't reach the ground, but Arthas liked to watch them struggle, a fragile race, Arthas watched the beautiful creature in front of him like a pet. His face was so pale and his eyes were full of evil.

The elf was caught in mid-air, the corners of his mouth bleeding, and his eyes full of fear, but his love for Quel'Thalas's homeland and his loyalty to the king made him persist in not letting go, unwilling to tell the secret of the devil's Silvermoon City in front of him.

"No, I never!"

The elven scout resisted with difficulty, his voice was very weak, but Arthas could hear it very clearly.

"Well, it's you who gave up this mercy yourself."

As he spoke, Arthas grabbed the elven scout's neck with one hand, and in the next second, a wave of dark energy surged in the hands of the death knight, and then infected the elven scout's whole body, the elf immediately lost his blood, and his face was bruised and swollen, as if the blood in his whole body had coagulated, and became like a carrion, and he soon stopped convulsions and struggles. Then, Arthas let go of his fingers with a blank expression, and the stiff corpse immediately fell from the air.

Arthas stretched out a finger and gently hooked it, and the next second, the corpse that had just landed on the ground stood up again, this time, he was no longer vigorous and radiant, but sluggish, and his turquoise eyes turned into a gloomy blue. Now, it's a servant of Arthas......

"Who among you wants this mercy? I can promise you that whoever tells me the secrets of Quel'Thalas' magical barrier will have access to untold power, unlimited, power. ”

Arthas said, glancing at the elven captives in front of him. Most of them knelt on the ground with fear on their faces, awaiting the most brutal execution. However, there was a man who stood up, wearing a gray cloak that showed only a pointed chin. Arthas could feel the difference in the elf in front of him, he was full of powerful magical energy, but compared to the Lich King's power, he was still too small to be mentioned.

"Master, I'd like to report to you about the magic barrier."

The elf walked over and took off the thick gray cloak on top of his head. Arthas saw the face clearly, it was very delicate, like all the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, the traitor of the High Elves in front of him looked very elegant, like a nobleman of Quel'Thalas, yes, he was indeed a nobleman.

"Your name, Elf."

Arthas asked in a deep voice.

"Darkan, Darkan. Dragiel, the master. ”

The elf said, walking up to Arthas and getting down on one knee.

"Nice name, now, tell me everything you know."

Arthas said, placing his hand on the elven mage's shoulder, and suddenly, an irresistibly powerful burst of dark energy poured into the mage's body. He was almost on his knees receiving the gift.

"It's just a little bit of a reward from the Lich King, and when you tell all the secrets of Quel'Thalas, you'll be even more powerful."

After Arthas finished speaking, the elven mage immediately leaned over and bowed in thanks, his whole body trembling with excitement, and the tongue in his mouth was almost mixed together.

……

"Captain! Captain! That's true! It's true! ”

Ranger Karma sped back from the front lines, the sweat on her face before she could even wipe it off, and Sylvanas felt a little uneasy from her panicked look. Although she had made plenty of preparations before.

"Drink your saliva first and speak slowly."

Sylvanas tried to appease her Ranger scouts, and she found that there were only five Ranger behind Karma, and eight Ranger when she went out.

Scout Karma gasped, took a sip of water, and then said anxiously—

"There are many of them, they are all over the mountains, and the army is mixed with spiders, giant spiders, yes, the kind that Ares said, very evil. This army of Arthas is almost entirely made up of zombies and skeletons, with some huge monsters, even stitched together from broken corpses, which have no heads, but can move through the army. It's horrible, it's horrible. There are also rock-like monsters that hover in the air, emitting bat-like screams. ”

Karma said anxiously, her eyes revealing horror, as if she hadn't yet detached herself from the situation.

"What about Andalis? She's not with you. ”

Sylvanas was distraught, but she tried to keep herself calm and asked.

"She was captured by a Scourge wizard......"

Karma replied in horror.

"Oh my God, what a catastrophe this is."

Worhill exclaimed. There was an air of deathly despair in the camp. Things are progressing more and more as Ares had predicted.

"My dear, no matter what darkness we are about to face next, I am willing to fight with you, for the sake of Quel'Thalas."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ares grabbed Sylvanas's small hand and said seriously and solemnly.

Sylvanas turned to look at Ares, her eyes full of gratitude and relief, and even a few tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.

Immediately, Sylvanas leaned up, put her small mouth at Ares's lips, and kissed her softly.

This scene surprised the other elves present, and even Sylvanas's subordinate Vorhir stayed where he was, his mouth wide open......

After an affectionate kiss, Sylvanas let go of Ares, took off the elven bow on his back, and shouted at the High Elf rangers in front of him—

"Brothers, sisters, fight, for Quel'Thalas!"

Leaving Ares standing still, the kiss just now will never be forgotten, the fragrant kiss of the goddess...... Ares looked confused until the elven rangers were gone. Between the trees, a cool breeze blew......
