Alone (2)
Yes, I never thought about fighting a creature like them, and perhaps I wasn't afraid of such surprises when Crassus and the army were around. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But now these people, I can only say that I really got rid of it. Even though we should have been fine, now being deceived that we are 'friends' is enough to offend this big guy. This is not to say that we do not have the slightest chance of victory, but I believe that after the decisive battle with them, I can hardly guarantee that many of us will return to camp in the south alive, let alone continue the northern expedition.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at the thought of this, but I couldn't show it that way, after all, I didn't want my soldiers to panic at the presence of an enemy of this size.
In the same way, the king of the crypt is hesitantly staring at us, as if he senses the price he might pay if he wants to destroy us, or some other common purpose with me......finally something unexpected happened to me, he did not let the spider-men who surrounded us attack us, but went to reprimand the leader with whom he had just spoken.
"How can you be rude to my friend and let go of that dwarf. β
"Yes, my king. Instead of questioning the beast's orders, he simply loosened the net of the dwarf and his mount. I was a little surprised by this, but in the face of the same doubts, I thought it would be best to have the same calm look as the beast, yes, I think this guy is as wise as I thought, and that may be a sign that we are likely to fight the Scourge together, at least I'm sure he doesn't want to fight us, until the undead are destroyed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my friend King Anubarak. β
I tried to greet him as a friend, after all, I still wanted to fight with him against a common enemy, and to my surprise, he was very cooperative with me, and even used our human language to me.
"Hello, Prince Arthas. I'm glad you brought your men and horses with us to fight the Scourge Legion. β
"Your human language skills are still so good..."I walked towards him like an old friend, and he smiled at me as well, as if to confirm that he definitely had the same idea as me, and I think our alliance will soon be formed. Yes, it must be so.
"That's to make it easier to communicate with you," he said, pointing to the location of the Undead Stronghold with his giant claws, "I think we'll discuss future tactics together after we're in the city." β
"Of course. β
At this moment, the two of us did not continue to perform, but joined hands with each other and led their men and horses to attack the undead who remained in the city. Yes, although everyone had doubts about our so-called friendship, no one hesitated to do anything after hearing the command to attack.
And this time, warriors like the Crypt Demon joined us, their presence completely suppressed the enemy's creatures of the same nature, which made us no longer worry about the sudden appearance of any threat on the ground, and our strong formation also brought them security, plus some of them were bigger than ogres, the advantage in the siege battle was fully reflected, and it also helped us attract enough firepower to ensure the safety of the other soldiers, and their thick skin and flesh also became more determined under the baptism of our Holy Light, but I was a little surprisedSome of them do not seem to be well suited to the treatment of the Light, and prefer to be blessed by the Light. I didn't pay much attention to these details, after all, they always go underground and hide when they are dying, and they don't need the healing of our Light at all.
In the end, with our alliance, we were able to occupy the place with relative ease, so we continued to negotiate new plans in the city as agreed.
Yes, we worked so well together that we didn't need to explain the so-called friendship with Anubarak, maybe we were already good friends by now, I thought, and without any scruples, I opened the map that Karegos had given me in front of him.
"This map is peculiar..."
"Yes, it's very peculiar! It was a gift from a friend. In the face of his question, I said calmly, but I was still wary that I did not say the origin of this map, but for the spider-people who have a little trouble with the blue dragon, they will soon recognize its origin.
"It turns out that I know the position of the position clearly...," Anubarak muttered to himself, quickly changing his tone to a deeper tone. "Turns out you have other friends here, why didn't they come to help, I remember that the undead hate all living beings. β
"A friend of mine offended them," I sighed. "Don't worry about that, let's get back to the original topic. β
"Well... I think you should know that if you go to the next position, you will be able to meet the demon's one. β
"Do you have any good advice on what to do next?" I didn't pay attention to his behavior, but instead asked him for his opinion on the next step, but he misunderstood what I meant, ignoring the undead position in front of me, and instead recounted the power of the demon position
"Melganir's army is more numerous and elite than any of the undead you've seen before, and there are many bat-like creatures among them that can create a great impact on your air power, but we spider-men can help you with this. β
"Yes, I know, so we need your reinforcements urgently, but we need to discuss how to attack the next enemy position, not the last battle. β
"The next position will be easy to capture... There is no need to worry at all. β
It was at this time that Sylvanas, who had volunteered to stand in the corner, walked up to the front desk and made a discordant sound.
"If it's so easy, why didn't you take it yourself?"
She stared sharply at Anubrak, and the words made the Spider-Man leader angry.
"If we can defeat them alone, why should we join forces with you?!"
"Since I can't defeat them alone, I should discuss the plan, and I don't want to let my soldiers fall because of some unexpected incident. β
"Sylvanas!" I wanted to reprimand the Ranger General for his rudeness, but when I think of the current occasion, I think I'd better stabilize the scene first. "We are all here for one purpose, and no one wants a war to be imminent, and there are still irreconcilable contradictions within us. β
"Then you'd better get your hands on the situation, Commander. "Sylvanas didn't accept my mediation, and led his fellow rangers out of the venue. I could only watch them leave and apologize to Anubarak.
"I'm sorry, my friend, and I apologize for their offense. β
"Well, elves are the arrogant and unreasonable race. β
"Let's continue to discuss the next tactics..."Although I somewhat agree with his assessment, I will not talk to him about these digressions, so in the following time, after a brief discussion, we finalized the final strategy and arrangement, of course, including the next battle....
After the discussion, I went back to my camp with my men. It's still some distance from where we've been divided. Walking on the road a few steps away, I was still in a good mood, after all, I had such an ally and I still saw the hope of defeating Melganir, yes, if it weren't for us, I really don't know how long I could go. The same friends are full of affection for those guys, although we almost got into a fight with his men just now, but it wasn't unpleasant, what really upset me was Sylvanas's departure and the prejudice against this creature....my head grew at the thought of this.
I've always thought that the biggest difference between these elven rangers and their own race is that they can afford to look down on other races, but for now, I seem to realize that they have that kind of incomprehensible understanding in their bones.
Gianna was also not very pleasant, and I took it for granted that she was also worried about Sylvanas, so I didn't ask because I didn't want to talk to him about the Ranger, and I didn't take the initiative to pick up the topic. But she couldn't bear it anymore and asked me about it, but I was relieved that the topic wasn't about the Ranger General.
"Arthas, you didn't mention this to me about the Spider-Man King you know. β
"I don't know him, and I'm not a friend, but maybe we'll be friends later. I smiled in answer to her question, yes, I didn't seem to have any reason to be angry as long as it wasn't about Sylvanas. But Gianna still seems to have questions.
"Then how do you know his name. β
"I found out through some special meansβ" I replied hesitantly, not knowing how to explain it to her, but instead of continuing with the question she had just asked, she asked something I didn't know about.
"But he actually knows your name, could it be that he also did it through some special means, the red dragons don't seem to like those spider-men very much. β
"Probablyβ" I tried to ignore her question, but she was still staring at me, as if seeking a definite answer, when Sylvanas suddenly appeared in front of me and warned me.
"Maybe their news is from a natural disaster!"
"What do you mean, do you suspect that they have communication. In the face of her answer, my questioning face turned to the Ranger General.
"That's right, that's what I mean, Arthas, the appearance of those spider-men at this time is a problem, and in their conversation, it is obvious that they are describing the demon position from the perspective of the undead, and even some of them are rooted in some undead bodies, otherwise some of your holy light will not harm them. β
"Maybe it's their innate trait," I thought back to my impressions of Spider-Man. Yes, there is no doubt that those creatures hate the undead, so there is no doubt that they are not at odds with the undead, and the reason may be that some of them have been influenced by the ancient gods, so some spider-men will not eat our light because of this. I thought so, but I couldn't explain it to them, so I decided to convince Sylvanas not to question this hard-won ally. "Maybe their organism is born with some evil influences, but a person's form does not represent what a person's heart is, if the undead have an independent understanding and correct personality, and are not controlled by darkness, then he is no different from us..."
"Arthas, you still have a sense of identity with the undead, do you still want to be able to save these deformed creatures? As I thought, Sylvanas interrupted me with a sneer, which I thought was okay.
"If I could, I would..."
I replied with my eyes closed and in a deep voice, and when she heard my reply, she once again looked at me with disdain.
"You idiot, I didn't expect you to be so naΓ―ve!"
"Elf!" The same anger rushed at her, yes, I called her that was a complete disappointment in her, because I now realized that she really had the same natural prejudice against aliens as her kindred, and that she was too inferior to her sister Winresa, perhaps....I couldn't help but regret my choice when I thought of it....I shook my head again and didn't think about the unrealistic things, but the anger in my heart no longer allowed me to tolerate her. "No matter what kind of life it is, as long as it exists in this world, then it has a reason and right to live, and we have no reason to deny their existence because their appearance and habits are different from ourselves, nor can we be prejudiced against them because of this. β
"Alsace, I didn't expect you to be so fraternal, fraternal makes me feel extremely naΓ―ve, I hope that when I am bitten back, you can still maintain your lofty ideals. β
"Maybe you're right, but I don't worry about the undead until they're gone, and I ask you not to stir things up before that..."
"You!!" Sylvanas angrily pointed at me in the face of my-for-tat, and left the place angrily, yes, we parted happily again, but this time I also changed my opinion of her a little, after all, the nature of this quarrel had completely changed the two of us. If it was all because of personality conflicts in the past, then this time I think it may be in nature....
I don't like a friend who is naturally prejudiced against foreigners, especially since I am a foreigner to her!
....
I really didn't expect this to be the case at the moment. But if that's the case, then I really don't have much to say.
However, Sylvanas's fears were not entirely unfounded, and I secretly observed their characteristics, and after some inquiry, it seemed that there was no difference except that they did not want to communicate with beings like us in their hearts, and that they ate a lot of food. But even so, I was very careful, so that in the evening I often woke up to observe them, but they did not move until the time of the assembly tomorrow. I think I'm really worried about them.
So we attacked according to the original plan, and because of the shortage of food, I sent a few people such as Falik and some spider people who were good at carrying food back to carry food, and on the way to the march, I continued to exchange some local human geography with Anubrak, yes, to my surprise, this spider king was completely different from their people, and he answered my question unabashedly. For example, he explained to me the story of the Blue Dragonlord's madness in the early days, the battle between Egwen and Sargeras, and the creation and current experience of the Scourge Legion, and he also gave some of his knowledge of Melganir and their creatures. To my surprise, he told me as much as he could about the legends of the Elder Gods and the deeds of some of the Facelesss. Although some of the details are different from what I knew, it has made me deeply feel his sincerity, and maybe our alliance can continue to maintain after the war...
I'm convinced of that. And this trust was also shown in the ensuing battle, and as before, they launched an attack on the Scourge camp.
Although the enemy was stronger this time, they were ultimately victorious with acceptable casualties. I don't doubt the sincerity of these creatures, and the soldiers mostly see them as trusted allies, and with the wordlessness of the Ranger General, it seems that everything is a sign that our cooperation is very smooth.
After we had entered the city without dividing each other, we discussed the final battle as usual, and it was clear that this discussion was very crucial, and although Melganir's main force did not support the natural disaster here, I had no doubt about the cruelty of the next war, and Anubarak knew this, and he made a piece of news that made me even more excited.
"The next battle will be a big deal, so let me go back and summon more troops. β
"You have more men. "I listened to the news in amazement, yes I knew they should have more of their kind, but when I knew that more spider-men were going to join the ranks of attacking the undead, I couldn't help but feel good.
"There are many others who are guarding their homes, and I am going to meet Naxxramas. Anubarak replied without thinking, to which I could not help but have a slight question.
"Naxxramas? that's not..."
"Well, that's my home baseβ" He replied without waiting for me to ask, and I didn't doubt anything about it, yes, maybe it was still under the control of the spider-man. "I'm going to get all of my people into the fight. β
"But if your enemy takes advantage of this time to besiege our current position?"
"I just left alone with a couple of guards... My troops will stay here at your disposal, my friend. β
"Thank you for your trust..."
"Goodbye my friend. So he explained something in their language and left.
I could also hear through the ring that he had indeed given the order for the troops to be at my disposal, so I gave him the order to build the barracks, and they obeyed my orders without complaint. I no longer doubted him, and felt as if I had made a friend I could trust again, and my heart was absolutely abrupt about that.
Yes, I really didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, and I'm sure that Anubrak, who knows the truth about the enemy, must also know how many spider-men he needs to send to successfully defeat the enemy, and this may also indicate that we people can defeat the undead. I was convinced of this, and I seemed to see in my heart what glory would come after victory.
