Chapter 260: Scuffle in the Woods

The night sky of Gilneth was filled with dead silence, and the cold and poisonous plague that drifted through the air caused the clouds to converge, and two figures flew through the thick clouds towards the north of Gilneys.

"Are you sure you're heading in the right direction?"

The Black Dragon Princess's voice was full of suspicion, and she and Anduin had come to Gilneth to find Gianna and get in touch with the Guardian Medivan.

"Since you can't even contact the Guardians, don't challenge me."

Anduin's indifferent tone really choked Onexia, her silver teeth were clenched, her face was gloomy, and her heart was full of shame, because Anduin told an embarrassing fact, the three descendants of the Black Dragon King, except for the youngest Lacio, the other two are the restricted targets of the Demigod Pact, and the reason why the Holy Light Holy See can be passed on to the nineteenth Pope safely and securely, the Demigod Pact has played a lot of roles.

Not long ago, the Black Dragon Princess's body incarnated as Princess Eliza, and took the opportunity to sneak into the back hall of the Hearthstone Hotel, intending to take away the little fire dragon, but was blocked by Medivan, at that time, it can be seen that Medivan and Onexia are in a state of opposition, and it is precisely for this reason that the Black Dragon Princess does not feel that the guardian Medivan will help her deal with Alonsos XIX.

"Hmph, since you, the embodiment of the Holy Light, don't care about the life and death of the Holy Light, then I, an outsider, don't have to worry about it." The Black Dragon Princess was angry, and said quietly, but Anduin ignored her, just followed the direction of the Hearthstone system, and went at full speed, if the resonance between the magic stones can be wrong, then she can only rush to Dalaran in person and ask Medivan to help find someone.

At the time of separation, Gianna told Anduin that she would first investigate the source of the cold poison plague, so she built a bridge of communication between Anduin's holy light diamond and her own mana ruby, this method is to prevent accidents, after all, this cold poison plague is not trivial, even if Gianna is already a legendary powerhouse, she may encounter unknown dangers.

With the help of the demigod powerhouse, the space was greatly shortened, and in less than three minutes, the two of them arrived at the border in the northwest corner from the hinterland of Gilneys, and on the other side of the border line, there was an endless dense forest, where was the territory of the elven relics.

"Good look, what is Gianna doing here?"

Anduin had some doubts in his heart, thanks to the strong affinity of the natural elements, Gianna was able to perceive the plague and cold poison in the air more keenly, she must have discovered some clues through the extreme cold element of the elemental god, and this is why she came here from thousands of miles away.

"This forest...... A perception barrier has been set up! Onexia said with some surprise, her slender eyelashes blinked slightly, and the invisible light saw through the vanity, and the black dragon princess's face appeared with a different color, and she said playfully, "It's actually quite lively here!" ”

Without waiting for Anduin's reaction, Onexia led him into the forest, and as soon as he stepped into the shade of the tree, it was as if he had entered another world.

Illumination, magic, clashing weapons, and arrows.

Who would have thought that under the seemingly calm shade of the trees, there would be a huge life-and-death scuffle.

What's going on?

Anduin was stunned in his heart, and was taken to the edge of the battlefield by the black dragon princess, covered by the breath of a demigod powerhouse, no one noticed the appearance of the two, at this time, the battlefield in the forest can only be described as extremely chaotic, because there are more than two parties participating in the battle, and the number of participants is more than five thousand, many people died tragically on the battlefield, and many people were red-eyed, such a tragic degree shows that this battle has lasted for a long time.

If it were only a superficial division, the parties involved in this battle could be divided into the Holy Empire, Dalaran, and the Elven Relic.

However, the power of the Holy Empire is composed of three parties, the bald ascetic Lance, the native army of Gilneth who killed alone, and some of the men and horses from the Silver Fortress, these people did not share the same hatred, and the priest knights of the Silver Fortress became the target of public criticism and were besieged by many parties, but they had strong men in charge, but the native army of Gilneth suffered heavy losses and had lost most of their combat effectiveness.

And the magicians of Dalaran are not monolithic, Gianna has a cold light in her eyes, and has become an enemy with her former companions, her opponent, Anduin is no stranger, on the eve of the Floating Island incident, this person led a team of mages to hunt down the great slave owner Blackmore, and then clashed with Anduin at the Hearthstone Hotel, on the Floating Island, Anduin has been paying attention to the changes in this person, but before the collision between the Frost Dragon and the Holy Light Naru, no obvious abnormalities were found on his body.

However, after a few months, Kel'thugad, the proud disciple of Antonidas, the chief mage of Dalaran, actually became a human and a ghost.

His complexion was similar to that of a severe patient of the cold and poisonous plague, and he couldn't see the normal color at all, and his original strong body seemed to be due to this special change, showing a hideous posture of "skin and bones", two bloodshot eyeballs protruding from the eye sockets, staring at Gianna's figure deadly, and shriveled lips that could barely be covered by gums, revealing a chilling heart-palpitating smile.

Gianna...... Your power...... It's very weak......"

Is Gianna who is among the legends weak?

Of course not!

But in front of the realm of Kel'thugad, he is really very powerless, I don't know why, Antonidas's proud disciple is actually the chief mage who came from behind, surpassing the peak of the legend, and was the first to step into the magical realm above the legend, the reason why Gilneys's army was killed and wounded was because before the arrival of the bald penance, he was invincible on the battlefield, even if humans and elves gave up the racial barrier, they could not resist the invincible undead magic.

"If I want to become a half-human for the sake of power, I'd rather give up this power."

Gianna gripped her staff tightly and responded with neither humility nor arrogance, the aftermath of the battle blowing her blue robes and long golden hair, and her stunning eyes as blue as the sky shimmered with a striking brilliance.

"Heh......"

With a wave of his hand, Kel'thugad, who was shaped like a skeleton, blew a cold demon wind in the battlefield, and all the dead bodies that were blown by this cold wind immediately stood up slowly from the ground, became walking corpses, and raised their butcher knives to their former companions, and those humans and elves who were still fighting bloodily were also affected to varying degrees, and the cold and poisonous plague that occurred in Gilneth appeared on many people.

Obviously, the source of the plague is the mage Dalaran led by Kel'thugad, those people from the Silver Fortress are either accomplices or initiators, as for why Gilneis's army appeared in the dense forest, Anduin can't be sure for the time being, it stands to reason that if the source of the plague is discovered, it must be reported to Prince Jean Greymayne as soon as possible, but when Anduin met the other party a few minutes ago, he didn't seem to know about it at all.

There must be some stuff!

Anduin confirmed his guess, and then whispered to the Black Dragon Princess: "There is no time to watch the play, the top priority is to end the matter here as soon as possible, and when the Holy Light of Faith is rescued, it is not too late to find out." ”

Onexia's beautiful eyes were horizontal, but she was not in a hurry to make a move, she looked Anduin's expression up and down, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Why do I think you care more about Gianna than you believe in the Holy Light?" If I'm not mistaken, Gianna's lover should be Arthas, why did you follow Gianna's father to the palace today? ”

Anduin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If meaningless gossip can bring you any tangible benefits, please continue, I don't mind." ”

"Humph!"

Onexia squinted her eyes and looked directly into Anduin's eyes, and after a few seconds of watching him, she realized that he was not dodging, and suddenly felt extremely bored.

Perhaps it was the high temperature caused by the collision of the battlefield, she fanned her wrist, brought a burst of fragrant wind, swept her eyes, and asked lightly: "How do you think it should be more appropriate?" ”

As the only true demigod in the field, and the pinnacle of demigods, Onexia has absolute qualifications to despise the whole field.

Anduin thought about it and felt that simple killing was not the best solution: "Killing Kel'thugad can immediately stop the fighting here, but our appearance may arouse the suspicion of bald ascetics, so it is best to suppress him here, even if you can't get rid of him, you can't let him interfere with the rescue of the Holy Light." ”

"Okay!"

Onexia chuckled and made a sound like a silver bell, and then Anduin saw that Kel'thugad was dead, and the bald Lance had fainted, and the corpse of the undead warrior was dead again.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the Black Dragon Princess quietly attacked, and Anduin didn't even notice her move, and the battle in the dense forest came to an abrupt end.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden change, even Gianna was no exception, but compared to those trembling humans and elves, Gianna was one of the few people who still maintained a combat posture, and the other comparisons attracted attention were a pair of sisters of the elven relics, they were powerful and extremely skilled in archery, and many of the necromancers under the command of Kel'thugad died from sharp arrows.

However, due to the existence of racial barriers and bald asceticism, they were extremely afraid and did not attack with all their might, but tried their best to organize a front to resist the attack.

"Can I know what's going on here?"

Just when everyone looked at each other and couldn't figure out the situation, Anduin suddenly walked out of the shadows, seeing his appearance, all parties showed different reactions, the necromancer and the fortress army immediately closed a contraction defense line, the remnants of Gilneys seemed to see the dawn, they all smiled, saw Anduin's elven sisters, noticed a strange aura, and secretly ordered the soldiers under his command to strengthen their vigilance, as for Gianna, who was standing alone, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved sweet smile, and fell to the ground softly......

In the scuffle of the party, the combat power of all parties did not correspond one by one.

The bald penance that was supposed to fight Kel'thugad was supposed to be a troubled attempt to find trouble with the Silver Fortress, while the Elven Relic fought against the evil mage, leaving Gianna alone to fight against the powerful Kelthugad, putting her under great pressure and having to rely on the power of the mana ruby to overdraw the source of mana and increase the power of magic, which was enough to ensure her life.

After seeing the situation clearly, Anduin urged the Black Dragon Princess to make a move, partly because it was to relieve Gianna, at this time, seeing the blue-robed woman fall to the ground unconscious, Anduin wanted to rush forward without saying a word.

"I'll do it for you!"

But before Anduin could take a few steps, Onexia's wanton chuckle came from his ears, and a breeze blew through the forest, holding Gianna up in the air, and at the same time, the energy in the wind poured into Gianna's body, alleviating the bad symptoms caused by the depletion of energy, his eyes trembled slightly, and then his slender eyelashes slowly raised, and Gianna's gaze was opposite that of Anduin's volley.

Seeing the joy rippling in those tired eyes, Anduin nodded slightly, collected his thoughts, and asked directly to the people of the Silver Fortress: "I am the Marquis of Anduin of Stormwind City, who is in charge of you here, come out and answer my question!" ”

The knights and priests from the Silver Fortress changed their faces subtly when they heard Anduin's name, and they pushed each other with each other, and it took a while to select a small leader, and said to Anduin, "Honorable incarnation of the Holy Light......"

"No more gossip!" Anduin interrupted him directly, and asked several questions in a row, "I want to know, why are you here?" What do those magicians have to do with you? Does the Plague of Cold Poison have anything to do with you? Who instructed this operation? ”

"We ...... This ......"

The little leader was sweating profusely, unable to speak, feeling the gaze from all directions, he suddenly made an unbelievable move, pulled out the weapon on his waist, and raised his hand to wipe off his neck, Anduin had long realized that he might commit suicide in fear of sin, and raised his hand to throw out a shadow lightning, which paralyzed him and his weapon fell to the ground.

"Since you are not hiding your identity, it means that death is not the end, who can tell me the answers to those questions just now?"

"I ...... Alas, let me tell you. ”

The speaker, not the troops of the Silver Fortress, but the remnants of Gilneth's men, Anduin looked at the owner of the voice, and saw that this person's identity was different from that of the others.

"I am the Grand Nobleman of Gilneis...... Golfrey. ”

This nobleman, who called himself Gao Frei, stood in the crowd with his head down, his face full of indescribable complexity, he looked up at the remaining men, his eyes were empty and sighed: "Not long ago, Kel'thugad of Dalaran approached me and wanted to negotiate a deal, and I was impressed by the huge wealth, so I didn't suspect it, so I let him buy a part of my territory and help him hide the information, and the result was ......"

"As a result, the cold plague suddenly broke out, and you became suspicious of Kel'thugad?"

"Yes, when the cold plague appeared, I thought it might be related to Kel'thugad, but there was no serious epidemic in my territory, so I didn't immediately send people to investigate, and when the cold plague was uncontrollable, and my men happened to find the troops of the Silver Fortress, I realized that I might cause a catastrophe, but I didn't dare to inform His Majesty the Prince, so I could only gather my troops and prepare to quell the disaster, and the result was ......"

"Everything's over, everything's ...... It's late. ”
