Alone Deep (8)
The enemy is rushing at us from all sides, and their numbers are already more than ten times larger than our existing army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There shouldn't be so many soldiers in Melganir!"
"This suggests a possibility... He has summoned all the undead scourge from the other positions to encircle us. "I answered Farik's question, and there was no need to explain it, and everyone would understand the reality, because it was Anubaraq who was in charge. Now that the Lich King's most trusted representative has joined us in destroying us, it only means that he has lost the last hope of me, and is instead angry and will cooperate with the demons to destroy us.
Destroy them all, and then transform into their undead warriors, such as the undead in front of them who are wearing the crippled Lordaeron emblem, obviously they were the remaining troops who were attacked when they were alive before, and more than half of those troops, these alone are already able to defeat our current tired army, not to mention many more undead. And the way to escape has been blocked, and we have no way out.
Maybe I should make my final choice like a warrior at this time, but unfortunately, it is very difficult to stand up and lift the warhammer, let alone kill a few undead.
I may be able to kill a few undead, but it is not easy to muster the courage of everyone, because we are already exhausted at this moment, and we have all realized that in addition to the Crypt Demons, the humanoid undead led by Anubarak are obviously our former comrades. All the warriors became confused, perhaps also thinking that their ultimate fate might be more tragic than death.
I would like to regain my courage in this regard, but unfortunately, I really don't know what to say to give everyone the confidence to win, after all, the numerical disadvantage and the current terrain have no possibility of victory.
"Human, you can use a spell to take a few people out first, and leave it to me to command here. The Spider-Man Leader seemed to read my thoughts and suggested to me, and my soldiers almost all nodded in agreement. In the same way, my partners looked at me, as if whatever decision was made, they would follow.
Although it seems a little unrighteous, but it is better to live than nothing, I thought, but after thinking about it, I denied this understanding,
"We are not your natives, even if we escape today, we will not be able to escape from this continent, and sooner or later we will be caught by them and become like that... It's better to let me have no regrets today. "When I said this, there was no opposition from everyone, but immediately prepared for the coming enemy. But there was no desire for victory, as before....yes, what possibility of victory could there be in the face of such a number of demonic and undead legions led by Melganil himself, and by such "compatriots" themselves. Let's face this fate that may have belonged to me.
I became less stern about this, and instead joked lightly with the leader of the spider-man who persuaded me.
"You spider-men still have time to burrow in the ground, why don't you leave?"
"I want to keep my people, too, but—" he replied to me solemnly, but when he saw something, he didn't continue, but summoned the spider-man to charge forward.
"But what?" I asked him curiously, but it was then that I realized his target, which was Anubarak, who was in front of the enemy.
"That's because he knows all our secrets, and only by killing him can my race survive. When he had finished speaking, he led his own men forward, and soon engaged Anubarak, yes, though he was no match for his brother, but he did not give up or retreat.
And it was at this time that I also realized one thing, that is, the ambivalence I felt when I realized that my soldiers and people had become undead, this spider-man leader had already experienced it, and even that guy was his trusted brother, their king.... Maybe I should have noticed how he felt when he was fighting the Crypt Demons, but it was only now that I realized how strong they were, and I really didn't expect him to think about the continuation of his race at this time, even if it seemed like he had little hope of victory in this duel with his brother.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to my current inaction and confusion. Perhaps, we should also show the last courage like them. Although the ending won't change anything, it at least proves our worth, and that real sense of glory, maybe, in short, we should show our due strength in the last moments.
"Everyone is ready to charge, and we want the enemy to see our courage as humanity. ”
All the soldiers obeyed my orders and rushed forward, including the rangers who had already exhausted their arrows, and Gianna, the only mage, who was as weak as we were at the moment to unleash more blizzard-like spells. And after slaying the two undead who were once Lordaeron's soldiers, I also lost the power to wield the warhammer, so I could only drag my weapon to the side to recover my strength and watch the current situation. As I least expected it, my soldiers were falling much faster than the enemy, and there were still countless enemies around them.
We rushed forward, but I quickly fell behind due to my lack of physical strength, and Faric and the others obviously couldn't take care of me at such a time, maybe they thought I would be safer in the back, but it backfired, and the enemy made such a choice against us and also attacked us and scattered us.
Unfortunately, because the few people behind me were all injured, they fell much faster than the rest of the world, and soon I was the only one left, and at this time, two undead came to my side and launched an attack on me, although I found his sneak attack at the moment, but I really couldn't use my strength... Just then, Sylvanas approached and slashed him before he could attack.
"Maybe you really should have followed the advice of the Spider-Man leader and left. ”
Sylvanas didn't leave immediately, but had a funny chat with me, yes, it seemed to her that this might be the last time, and I naturally cherished it, but in terms of content, I certainly can't show weakness.
"Why, is it because I can't raise my weapon?"
"But it's not good to lose a commander on the battlefield..."
She reminded me with a wry smile that she was obviously trying to say something else, but that's all she could say now, but I seemed to realize something in her, that is, what she said made me realize the possibility of defeating the enemy, just like when the frost sorrow was raised, as long as the enemy's center could be destroyed, maybe the enemy would revert back to dementia, and maybe even return to the human understanding they had in life.
"That's right! the same with the enemy, kill Melganir. I prompted Sylvanas, apparently aware of this, and shook her head at me.
"Unfortunately, I've run out of bows and arrows, and I doubt that a weapon that can't even pierce Hellfire will have any effect on him. ”
"Perhaps, but not necessarily closely....let Gianna send you there. "I pointed in her direction, she was with Falik and the others at the moment, and my guards clearly knew who to defend at this time. "We teleported to approach the demon, and maybe after killing him, the undead would lose their will again. ”
"I don't know if it's going to work, but it's well worth a try. With that, Sylvanas ran to Gianna in my cover, and informed her of the plan. All of them nodded in agreement when they heard my suggestion.
"I only have the stamina to take two people there at most. ”
Gianna stopped unleashing the arcane, paused, took a deep breath, and replied calmly. Obviously, the battle just now had a lot of consumption for her.
"Then you take Falik and Sylvanas with you...", I said this, how much I wanted to go and know his life myself, but unfortunately, my current state is too much for me to do. Without hesitation, Gianna settled on Melganir's location, and took Falik and Sylvanas to perform the teleportation spell.
The moment the three of them disappeared, we also locked all eyes there. But Melganiel seems to have recognized our sneak attack, noticed their appearance at the first time, and called the nearby undead warriors to support them while dodging Sylvanas and Manik's sneak attack, and among the three of them, only Sylvanas was firm in his goal, and they could only pick up the undead who were close to them to create conditions for her, in fact, I could see that Manic also wanted to fight Melganil with Sylvanas, but in order to take care of Gianna, who was almost prostration, he could only choose to do so。
But that's not what worries me the most, Sylvanas's situation is even worse, except for agility, her other abilities can't compete with that demon at all, especially the demon's defense, even if the dagger can sneak attack the demon, but it can't cause any trauma to that creature, and on the other hand, Melganir enjoys fighting with her like this, especially the kind of smirk after seeing Sylvanas's repeated attacks frustrated, it really makes me want to go over and talk to him.
I really, really regret letting them go over and duel the Dreadlord. Maybe she would have known the Light like her sister, or maybe maybe it wasn't the case when she's full of energy. But that's just or maybe I can't change anything now, I sigh in pain.
I can only sigh in my heart, for I can no longer allow me to think about things that make no sense, and our situation here is no better, except for the few remnants that have come close to us, there is no sign of any living people outside, and perhaps they have escaped, but for me I may know that it may be a more tragic outcome. For example, the spider-man leader and the spider-men who charged with him almost all died under the siege of Anubarak and his crypt demons.
Seeing that the enemy has completely targeted us, my heart is desolate, maybe I should raise everyone's morale for the final fight, but at this moment I realized another problem, around me, in addition to dozens of dwarves and personal guards, there are less than ten elven rangers, and there is no shadow of Theron among these elves.
And if he dies at this time, I know what it will mean. Just as I was in a hurry to find him, I was suddenly attacked by a shadow ray that prevented me from moving.
"Damn. ”
I cursed, and Thassarian treated me as soon as he let Melwin and Muradin take his place, and while his light was very effective against it, he couldn't seem to imagine how long he could hold out when he saw the undead scattered all over the mountain.
"Your Highness, you should have chosen to leave at first..."
Seeing this usually laughing partner show a silent look, I can't help but feel even more guilty.
"Maybe, maybe I shouldn't have let you stay here with me. ”
"No, at least we're still in this together. ”
"Yes, together...."I couldn't help but look back at Sylvanas, yes, how I wanted to be with them for the final moment.
But at this time I realized that something was wrong, Sylvanas and Falik each resisted stubbornly, although they gradually became more and more difficult, but Gianna was no longer there. I knew that Falic was as loyal to Gianna as he was to me, so if he couldn't possibly be able to show that calm look in the event of an accident to Gianna, the only possibility was that she left, or thought of something that could change the situation.
"Frost Sorrow!" I thought of something that could change our fate.
I jerked over to the weapon's location, where Gianna was now. Yes, I don't know if she came up with the idea. But when I saw that the undead in the neighborhood had no intention of attacking her, I might be able to prove that someone had led her there, and that person's purpose was to make her the new puppet.
"No!" I closed my eyes and wanted to shout loudly to prevent her from picking up the weapon, and at this moment, the shadow power just now flared up again, although it only suppressed Thassarian's holy light in a few aspects, but those aspects were the most crucial aspects that did not let me utter any words, and my partner, who only cared about my physical health, looked at my painful appearance very puzzled, yes, Thassarian could not have thought that anyone would be bored to do such a thing at this time.
But I know who it is, the guy who used to be in my consciousness, and now communicates with me through the power of the shadows.
"You have no choice, and this is the only way to save you, if her will is as determined as you are and not controlled by me..."
I could feel his smugness, and it added to my anger, making me even angrier.
"Why, when we're all dead. You can also transform me into an undead, why do you have to control us before you die, don't you want to become a woman, Nao Zu!"
"I thought you knew. The voice scorned, and the next words made me realize something I should have thought of, "Melganir's resurrected creature will only obey his will before his power is weakened, not me." ”
"Yes, I almost forgot," I suddenly remembered his feud with Melganir and Naozu's ambitions, and I seemed to have found a way to threaten him. "But aren't you afraid that after I become an undead, I'll tell him these things?"
"You won't. ”
"Hmph, why not?"
"Because you can't betray her, I'm spiritually connected to her, I'm destroyed, and she, as a puppet, will suffer the same severe torture as the demons like me, so I hope that when the time comes, we can stand together against our common enemy, the Burning Legion, you should know about them. ”
"You!" I was furious again, and he was making a deal with me this time.
"Believe me, I'm just directing her in that direction and managing the undead in my will and name. I don't really want to replace her soul, and if she can resist my control as much as you do, it can also help you defeat Melganil, so why not gamble on your lover's strength and maybe help you escape as a living person. ”
"Then you have to show your sincerity, so that I can choose whether to stop her or not. ”
"Absolutely... I'm sure you won't let me down. ”
The voice disappeared with the shadow power, and I returned to the awareness of the external environment, and was able to speak freely, so I quickly looked over to Gianna, and at this moment Gianna happened to hold the weapon, and I knew that if I stopped her now, there was still a chance to stop her and tell her to stop, but I still didn't say it in the end, because I thought that Neozu might be right... Because he verified 'me' in history there.
Yes, I have verified that the Lich King at that time was still 'me' consciousness, perhaps because of his strong will, which did not affect me, so he was not able to get involved in the Lord's understanding. As for what Gianna can do, I don't know, maybe she should gamble as Naozu said. After all, we don't have much of a chance other than that.
Thinking of this, I didn't speak again, but looked at her quietly, waiting for a new change, or a new change.
