Chapter 32: The Escaped Lich King

Claudia waited patiently, but after only ten minutes, the tide of battle had turned out beyond her expectations.

With an obvious mental fluctuation, the momentum of the Cataclysm, which was crumbling against the Gilneys, suddenly made waves.

Death Knights, Lichs, Spider Demons, Flesh Giants, Necromancers, Banshees and other mid- and high-ranking troops soon began to retreat, and they all teleported back to Naxxramas and Blackebon Fortress through the death portal, and it was obvious that the Scourge was about to withdraw.

At the same time, the royal courtyard of the city of Gilneth.

Whew-Whew-Whew-

Tess gasped for breath while enduring the pain in her arms and thighs and tangled with a spider demon, if it was in normal times, it would not be difficult for her to kill this spider demon with her agile speed, but at this moment, her body was on the verge of limit, and who was the opponent of the spider demon, but fortunately, she was not fighting alone.

Boom!

The gunshots rang out, and the spider demon took two steps back as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, its left abdomen was blurred by the flesh smashed by a large lead bullet, and many internal organ fragments were sliding from the wound, the spider demon let out an angry roar, stared at the shooter viciously, and then stopped fighting and retreated.

The exhausted Tess did not pursue, she turned to look at the shooter, and showed a grateful smile: "I owe you once, Rhona, thanks to you for beating him away, otherwise I would have confessed to this here." ”

Rhona Crowley is the daughter of Lord Crowley, and although she was at odds with Tess for a time because of her father's generation, during this undead invasion war, the friendship between the two girls with similar personalities grew rapidly in several side by side battles, and they became sympathetic.

"You're welcome, you saved me, Tess," the beautiful huntress with a double-barreled shotgun stepped forward, calmly surveyed the surroundings with her sharp eyes for a moment, and then spoke, "Besides, I didn't run away from him, and if I'm not mistaken, the Scourge is starting to withdraw." ”

Withdrawn?

Tess looked around in disbelief, and soon she realized that what Rhona said was true, and in the ecstasy in her heart, she couldn't help but have a doubt, seeing that Gilneth's side was about to collapse, why did the Scourge Legion withdraw, could it be that the Alliance's reinforcements had arrived?

Not only Rhona and Tess, but the other Gilneys also noticed this, and they cheered and their morale was high as they were reborn after the catastrophe.

"When it is decided, it is really Alsace."

Claudia sighed, her mental power was extremely large, she knew the battle situation well, and naturally knew the current situation very well.

That's right, Varian broke through the wall of Greymane, but he didn't have many forward troops, and even if he came quickly, it would take at least three hours or so, but he didn't expect that in the face of this situation, Alsace chose to retreat decisively and directly, which made Claudia's plan come to naught.

According to Claudia's original intention, she wanted to use Gilneth City as bait to hang Arthas, and whenever Gilneth City was about to hold on, she would think of supporting, and then launch a surprise attack after the arrival of the Stormwind Kingdom army, severely damage the Scourge Legion and even kill Arthas, it is for this plan that she has gathered so many Vagris these days.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Arthas learned of the fall of the Wall of Greymane, he decisively chose to abandon the low-level undead and evacuate, which made Claudia's plan come to naught, and he could only achieve the lowest combat objective.

"Sisters, let's stop those imitations and show them how the real Valkyries fought." Claudia raised her sword and pointed in a direction, where a dozen Alsatian imitations of Vargri had apparently received orders and began to fly towards the Blackblade Fortress in the sky.

"Yes, hostess." The surrounding white-winged Vargri spread their wings one after another, and for a while, dozens of pairs of white wings covered the sky, forcing those Vagri who belonged to Alsace, and intentionally or unintentionally, they flew much faster than those Vaglis, and they approached each other at a rapid speed.

While Claudia was intercepting Arthas's Wagri, Arthas was in the Blackebon Fortress reprimanding his necromancers for the news to be brought back.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, there are so many mages of you, can't you suppress him alone?"

"But, master, King Varian is already a demigod, and we are indeed not rival ......." Innigo said stiffly.

"Stop quibbling," Arthas sneered as he interrupted Innigo's exculpation, "If the demigods are so unstoppable, what else do I want you bunch of shit to do, and I can just level Gilneth myself?" After all, you bunch of garbage are just afraid of death! ”

One by one, the necromancer lowered his head, not daring to reply, Arthas's sneer gradually turned to a sneer, and just as he was about to capture a necromancer and kill the monkey, he became aware of the attack on his subordinate Vagri.

"I'll settle accounts with these pieces of waste later."

Arthas glanced hatefully at a few high-level necromancers, strode towards the death portal that led to the entrance to the Floating Fortress, and it wasn't long before he saw a scene that he was quite afraid of.

In the distance, dozens of white-winged Wagri were surrounding his Wagri in the center, draining the strength of their opponents in an attempt to capture his Wagri alive.

And the Scourge Army did not send assistance, but the gargoyles that rushed up were not the opponents of those white-winged Vagris, with the Holy Light and superb martial arts, these Vagris almost one by one, shot down the gargoyles one after another, each of them is a heroic unit that has been in a hundred battles, and it is naturally easy to shoot down these ordinary units.

However, these Vargri did not have the real reason for Arthas's fear, he saw the existence of the black-winged Varri in the distance in mid-air, and the other party was looking at him without concealing his hostility, and as soon as the spiritual power of the two sides came into contact in mid-air, Arthas understood a lot of information about the other party.

That's a demigod...... No, it's not just an ordinary demigod, it's a bit like an ancient god.

Arthas made a judgment, at this time, he has the memory of Naozu, and naturally knows what that kind of fluctuation means, you must know that Draenor also has ancient gods, and even Naozu has been in direct contact with the ancient gods of Draenor.

But what does this Blackwing Vargri have to do with the Alliance? Why did these soul healers, who had long since stopped caring about the world, gather and obey her orders?

Arthas was lost in thought, and beside him, the words of the High Lord of Death, Alfred Abydis, interrupted Arthas's thoughts:

"Your Majesty, do you want to send an ice dragon to help them?"

"No, I don't." Arthas said categorically, although he couldn't figure out what was going on at the moment, he had already sounded the alarm in his heart, the sudden appearance of the Elder Blue Dragon, the Soul Healer Army, and this strange Blackwing Vargri, all of which made him feel quite bad in his heart.

"In the case of unclear circumstances, this expedition can no longer be fought, although it did not achieve its original purpose, but the alliance's losses are far more heavy than our Scourge Legion, and we have harvested a lot of souls, so we can barely call it a halt first."

Arthas made a judgment, and he ordered the High Lord of Abydis, "Tell Kel'thugad, we will begin to evacuate now, this expedition is over, and we will return to the Northern Rift." ”

Faced with such an order to abandon his comrades, Alfred did not hesitate to give a military salute, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

Arthas didn't take those Vargri to heart, for him, the life or death of those Wagri was not very important, anyway, he had already mastered the method of transforming Wagri, if he wanted Wagri, he just conquered a few more Viku tribes and forcibly converted.

"After the transformation of another batch of Wagri, I will go to the western wilderness to harvest a wave of souls, I heard that there has developed well over the years, and the population is very dense."

Arthas made his decision with a sneer.

Shortly after the order was given, the Naxxramas of Kel'thugad, the Blackebon Fortress of Arthas, and the Naxar Fortress of Prince Varana began to move northwest, accompanied by the spells cast by the psychics.

"I really chose to run away."

Claudia, who witnessed this scene, shook her head, she had no intention of chasing the Lich King, although she had a lot of strong men under her command now, but it was still impossible to storm the Scourge Legion Floating Fortress, but now that the Lich King was gone, she had no intention of continuing to waste time.

With Claudia's order, the soul healers swarmed up and captured all the Wagri of Alsace, and the action was very swift, in the end, the strength of the genuine Wagri was much stronger than the pirated one.

Claudia walked up to the Wagli who had been pushed to the ground, and said, "Your master has abandoned you, and now you are willing to submit to me, to a true Queen of Wagri?" ”

The few Wagri looked around at the White Wings, they had already realized the power of these legendary Vargri in the battle just now, but they still did not surrender immediately, they all looked at their leader, a blonde Wagri named Anhalde.

Anhalde spoke: "What do we get and what do we have to pay if we serve you?" ”

Faced with the questions of these captives, Claudia replied calmly in an unquestioning tone:

"I can give you everything the Lich King can give you, even the flesh and blood that he can't, so that you can enjoy the normal life of a Viku people, such as sex, food, and wine, as you did when you were alive.

What you need to do is serve me for ten years, and during these ten years, you need to fight for me, protect the people I need to protect, and sometimes even have to pay with your lives, which may sound a bit harsh, but I can promise you that I will never enslave you like the Lich King, because you are my compatriots. ”

After listening to Claudia's words, Anhalde nodded without hesitation: "In that case, I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty." ”

"We are here for you, Your Majesty." The other surrounding Vargri also made their decisions.
