Chapter 241: The Test and the Epilogue
The dead filled the streets of Kalkison, and everywhere they passed, the new vegetation was rotting, and no matter how thick the branches of the towering trees and how hard the sinuous vines were, they were easily crushed by the dead bones of the undead.
For a time, every corner of Garkison was full of terrifying dry bones, and there were people who had the courage to resist desperately, not nothing, but after all, it was only a minority, most of the unarmed residents and tourists, only let out a frightened scream, and tried their best to run for their lives, but the streets and alleys had long been blocked by plants, and it was not a simple matter to escape.
Compared with ordinary residents and stragglers, the three major land snakes of Gakison quickly passed the moment of panic and quickly gathered men to launch a counterattack.
In order to preserve the foundation, he had to spend his blood again, open a warehouse and release guns, so that most of the Dirty Gangsters could use the arms and materials that should have been smuggled to fight back against the dead bones scattered around.
As for the fish-man pirate group that replaced the Dark Gold Sect, it was really a little unlucky, the two percent of the territory they occupied, which happened to be the experimental area and the burial area of the Dark Gold Sect, in order to study the high-level potion, Kazakus invested a lot of resources and energy, and his research target was not an ordinary species, but an abyss demon, which caused the dead to awaken a large number of demon corpses, which was far more difficult to deal with than ordinary dead.
The Fish-Man Pirate Group, which has not yet gained a firm foothold in Garkison, failed to do a good job of early warning, resulting in the outbreak of the demon corpse tide from the hinterland of the territory, the Fish-Man Pirates are brave and good at fighting at sea, but on land, there are some "water and soil adaptation", and the "Shark" Gazo does not have many subordinates, this time in order to observe the mechanical hegemony, and all the henchmen with him, as a result, the fish-man pirate deputy captain who stayed behind, for a while and a half can not find a good way to control the enemy, so he can only send his subordinates to start a bloody battle.
The entire harbor area was filled with murderous noises, even alarming Prince Varana on the Parrot, who saw the dead bones surging in, and took the initiative to lead a group of men to jump off the board of the ship, and work with the other shipowners to protect the ordinary residents who had fled.
At this time, Varana was already blocked by the primeval forest, and he could not know whether Cenarius was dead or alive, so he could only lead his troops to fight hard.
Suddenly, Varana remembered the Hearthstone branch located not far away, he had been invited to a dinner party before, and only saw Anduin and some blood elf attendants, and now that Anduin had rushed to the barrier mountain, wouldn't the Hearthstone branch be unguarded?
In the face of the dry bones of the killing undead, where will the blood elf attendants who were previously enslaved be opponents?
No way!
Varana's hands swelled with magical light, shattering a group of undead warriors wielding rotten blades to powder.
Whether it was to repay Anduin or fulfill the duties of the elven prince, he categorically couldn't sit idly by!
Varana informed his subordinates of his decision, and immediately received strong support, for several days, they would go to the Hearthstone branch as long as they were on a holiday, and when they heard that their second mate was planning to support the Hearthstone branch, no matter how dangerous the road ahead, they immediately responded positively, and at the same time, some people who fought bloodily were worried about the safety of their relatives, and made up their minds to work together to open the way, and after a fierce fight, Varana led people to the Hearthstone branch.
Sure enough, there were many dead dead bones surrounded in front of the branch, and a group of trembling blood elf attendants looked out nervously through the cracks in the door and the window.
However, to Varana's surprise, these undead wandered left and right, but they never had the intention of breaking in, but saw Varana and the others who were hurrying over, and immediately rushed over with their teeth and claws.
"What's going on?"
Varana couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so he could only rush to the battle, with his fourth-order peak strength, ordinary undead warriors could not pose a threat at all, but the Hearthstone branch and the potion workshop were all in the territory of the original Dark Gold Sect, so there were many demons mixed in with the undead, which doubled the pressure on the crew of the Parrot.
The blood elf attendants in the branch, seeing Varana and the others in a bitter battle, suddenly made a noise, out of the special relationship between the parrot and their own boss, so that these blood elves immediately recognized the identities of the crew, especially Varana, who was also a blood elf, although he only appeared once in a few days, he made all the blood elf attendants remember his face.
However, the noise of these Blood Elf attendants quickly subsided, and no one opened the door of the shop in an attempt to rescue the crew of the Parrot.
An arcane missile shattered the head of the demonic undead, and before he could catch his breath, another deformed undead rushed up, although the speed of these undead was extremely slow, but the number of thousands made Varana a little overwhelmed, let alone others with insufficient strength.
After slashing for a while, he could barely use the training formation of the Imperial Navy to ensure that there were no casualties, but after several waves of rotation, the physical strength of the crew was obviously insufficient, and the strength of the chopping could not ensure a stable kill, which caused everyone to fall into the undead surrounding, and if they didn't try to get out, there would be only one way out.
"Second mate, what are we going to do?"
A parrot crew, panting and calling to Varana, had already been wounded by this time in the battle, and because of Anduin's relationship and the psychology of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, he was reluctant to say something nasty, insulting the blood elf attendants who were closed, and had to ask Varana's opinion.
Varana, who was unable to use his magical energy at will, had already begun to fight in close quarters with a long sword in his hand, and he swept away with his sword in one breath, forcing away a large number of undead in front of him, his eyes instantly swept over the blood elf attendant with a complicated expression, gritting his teeth, but he couldn't make a decision immediately.
A certain short-tempered parrot crew member found that many dry bones and undead were disturbed by the battle, and slowly surrounded them, and scolded angrily: "Second mate, your kindness, the big guys know that we have worked hard to protect Anduin's shop, but those blood elves are greedy for life and afraid of death, so what are we doing here?" If the big guys all die here today, and there is no way for Anduin to know the truth, won't it be cheaper for those cowards? ”
"Whew! We must not let them have a good time! ”
"A few days ago, I thought it was worth making friends with them, but now? Let's lick the blood from the knife, but they stand by and watch, second mate, withdraw, even if Anduin is held accountable in the future, we can pat our chests and say with a clear conscience. ”
On one side were brothers who got along day and night, and on the other hand, there were indifferent bystanders, and Varana's face was suddenly full of tangled colors.
He slashed with his sword without saying a word, slashing several vicious demonic undead, the anger gathered in his chest did not bring him a guiding light, but only made him more distraught, hearing the protest of the crew of the Parrot, Varana gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of volcanic potion, and smashed it into a large area where the undead gathered.
With a bang, the sea of fire rose.
The bones of the undead in the flames withered and quickly died in the flames, and even the powerful demon undead could not last long.
"Let's go first!" Varana pointed to the makeshift path he had carved out with the Volcano Potion, "You can't die here, but I must stay!" ”
"Absolutely not!"
"Let's go, let's go together!"
The Parrot's crew's eyes immediately turned red, but Varana had already made up his mind: "You should all know that I am a blood elf. ”
"But ......"
"No, but!"
Varana handed over his only remaining bottle of volcano potion to his subordinates: "It happened suddenly, the missing resources have not had time to replenish, I have only a bottle of volcano potion left here, you guys take it and open the way, if you can survive, remember to buy more with Anduin, he opened a potion factory, he should be able to give us a cheap price." ”
"Second Officer......
Hearing this advice, which was tantamount to a last word, many of the Parrot's crew could not help themselves, but at the critical moment, Varana did not take it lightly, he suddenly swung his long sword, slashed the dry bones of some of the undead who suddenly rushed in, and then pushed his subordinates who did not want to leave, urging them to leave quickly.
The duty made him have to face the danger of death, but the crew of the Parrot really didn't need to die with him.
This time, they did not fall silent as before, but showed a look of surprise, and the crew of the Parrot, who noticed the strange appearance of the branch, was a little puzzled at first, but then saw the door of the store that had just been closed, and suddenly opened.
Varana was stunned for a moment, then commanded everyone to fight and retreat, and he was in charge of the back of the hall, and the last one to retreat into the store.
Syllable!
The door closed, and the world fell silent, and through the crack in the door, Varana saw the undead, as if hiding from predators, and did not dare to approach the gate at all.
What's going on?
Varana was puzzled, and suddenly he noticed that there was something strange about the atmosphere in the inn, so he turned around, scanned the crowd, and immediately noticed a woman in black standing in the bar.
"You're doing better than I expected."
The woman who only showed a pair of dark eyes said something that made Varana puzzled, and then he found out that this woman in black, who was like a ghost and had no sense of existence, was actually a legendary powerhouse, which explained why those undead dry bones did not dare to approach, there was a legendary powerhouse sitting in the branch, and whoever dared to step forward was sent to death.
When Varana looked at Sonia, Sonia was also looking at the elven prince.
In order to test Varana's temperament, she refused the request of a group of blood elf attendants.
After all, Anduin intends to cooperate with Varana to conspire with the survival home of the blood elves, if Varana is a greedy person who is afraid of death, then Sonia feels that she needs to persuade Anduin to give up this idea for the time being, or change to a collaborator, so that it is better to say that Prince Keresis and Prince Samuel in Silvermoon City have been found to be obedient to Tyrande, and the conditions of these two are much better than Varana.
Sonia's only advantage, in Sonia's opinion, is that he has a lifelong friendship with Anduin.
And after this test, Sonia believes that Varana's daring to sacrifice her life for her "cold-blooded" people is indeed worth the investment.
That's why she said that Varana's performance was better than expected.
"Don't worry, with me, those undead won't dare to break in." Sonia glanced at the wounded crew of the Parrot, "You can bandage your wounds in peace." ”
Seeing that the powerful and mysterious woman in black did not show any dangerous moves, a group of uneasy injuries woke up like a dream, and hurriedly found someone to stop the bleeding and heal their injuries, and the blood elf attendant next to him took the initiative to help, and quickly stabilized the situation.
In the past few days when she came to Gakison, Sonia rarely showed up, most of the time she was in the secret room, guarding Jenny Turtle and not moving, and now she summoned Cenarius over, and she didn't bother to show her identity, so she simply showed her face coldly, and she could discipline those blood elf attendants.
"I ...... Can't stay here. ”
In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded, it was a port employee who had come with Varana to fight: "My family is still in danger, I want to go back and save them!" ”
Everyone in the lobby looked at Sonia in unison, waiting for the legendary powerhouse to make a decision.
Seeing that Sonia didn't speak, the port employee's cheeks flushed, and among the crowd, only Varana dared to intercede for him: "Respected legendary powerhouse, I hope to leave with him, human life is a matter of heaven, and it cannot be delayed." ”
The rest of the Parrot crew and Blood Elf staff, though they didn't dare to speak, nodded in agreement.
Sonia glanced at them angrily, knowing that these people regarded themselves as cold-blooded people, so she casually pointed out the window, and everyone looked in the direction of their fingertips, and suddenly found that the mass of undead who had just gathered around the inn suddenly disappeared, and only a layer of ashes remained on the ground, and it was still fading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, everyone was very excited, and many people couldn't help cheering, they didn't know what was going on, but Sonia knew it clearly, it must be the mysterious gang leader of the Jade Lotus Gang, who showed his hole cards in time under Anduin's advance warning.
Kuhn, the Forgotten King who was sleeping in the forbidden land of the Jade Lotus Gang, only let out an undetectable murmur when he woke up, and then dispersed the dead spirit qi that permeated Kakisen, causing countless white bones to lose their support, disintegrating into flying ashes in an instant, and the ashes scattered on the ground gathered like a stream, casting a crystalline bone shell for the Forgotten King who only had a spirit body.
The Black Palm Family, who is in charge of the Jade Lotus Gang, has always kept an extremely important secret, that is, they found the ruins of the "Demon Ancient" that once plagued the Panda People, and reached a cooperation with one of the king's relics, in order to avoid the family being punished by the Panda People, they migrated thousands of miles to Gatisen, and with the help of the King's Soul, that is, the Forgotten King Kuhn, they formed the Jade Lotus Gang, and successfully took root in Jackie.
In order to avoid Nefarian's fish from dying, Anduin persuaded Aya to sacrifice the King of Oblivion at a critical moment, according to Anduin's speculation, there are Cenarius and the King of Oblivion, and the Black Dragon Prince should know the difficulty and retreat, not to mention that at this time, there is also the pygmy patron saint Mimiron, even if Nefarian has a thousand murderous intentions, he can only give up.
Sure enough, the appearance of the Forgotten King, like a basin of cold water, completely extinguished Nefarian's anger, and instead of continuing to confront and express his dissatisfaction in his heart, the Black Dragon Prince saw that the situation was not good and fled directly, making Andu, who had already murdered, a pity.
However, judging rationally, the demigod war will be completely started, not to mention that Gakison will definitely not be able to preserve, even his own demigods will have to worry about their lives, Nefarian is an old demigod powerhouse after all, and there will always be a few life-saving hole cards, not to mention, Anduin still remembers that there are only two mysterious people, and they suddenly disappeared, in case they plot against each other, who wins and who loses, it is not yet known.
Nefarian chose to flee so simply, but took the initiative to choose a very safe and correct answer for Anduin.
As for whether this crisis would be beneficial to Anduin, the answer was obvious, since he had gone to great lengths to summon the demigods of the wilderness, there was no reason to let him go back.
If Stormwind City is protected by a demigod powerhouse, there is no need to worry even if Silvermoon City is exposed.
Anduin was also able to take advantage of the space resources of the sealed world to start the next expansion plan.
