"Very well, you did a great job, Death Knight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I heard about your deeds, you did a good job, those weak people who dare to fight against the Scourge Legion, it's time for them to know what will happen if they dare to fight against the Scourge Legion!" Prince Varana looked at Hugh Belmont appreciatively, his tone full of excitement and affirmation.

"We have won half of this war, the Scarlet Crusaders have lost their horse farms and mines, and they have lost a great deal of men. Now, the only way to retreat is to New Avalon. Soon, the Scourge will set foot on that city and kill all living life! ”

Prince Varana took out a scroll and gave it to Hugh.

"This is our comprehensive report on our victory at the death rift. Go and give this report to Master Mograini, who is in Acherous, and I have included your heroic deeds in the report. Mograine will reward you, Hugh Belmont. ”

"Now, let's go!"

Hugh saluted Prince Varana, then turned away without saying a word, and went to the Scourge griffon's dock at the edge of the camp, took the griffon's reins from an undead spirit, and flew to the fortress of Acherus in the sky.

Looking at the dim sky and the ruined land in the distance, Hugh Belmont suddenly felt more confused than ever, he had forgotten everything but his name.

The other Death Knight at least remembered what had happened before them, but he had nothing but a blank memory, and when he awoke in the darkness, he was at the training ground of Naxxramas, and it wasn't long before he arrived at the fortress of Acherus.

Train swordsmanship, unleash magic, train recruits, kill enemies in battle, and sow death. What about other than that? What else is left?

If it had been before, he never doubted that everything he had was going to be dedicated to the Lich King. But remembering the words of the paladin he had killed, and the voices that resounded from his heart from time to time......

No, no, no! I'm a Death Knight, a Death Knight fighting for the Lich King, I'm not one of those cowardly creatures, and I shouldn't be confused, let alone doubt my loyalty to His Majesty.

Hugh roared inwardly.

That paladin is nothing but a loser, a loser I killed, and he's just talking gibberish. And the voice that bewitched me was nothing more than a trick of the enemy, yes, it was all a conspiracy of the living. Trying to trick me into betraying the Scourge like the traitors who call themselves the Forsaken, yes, that's it.

Hugh closed his eyes, then opened them again, the ice blue soul fire burning in his eyes. He convinced himself that all this was a conspiracy of the living, that any fate was already doomed to be false, that even the mighty dragons would eventually have to submit to the power of the Scourge Legion, and that what existence in this world could stop them!

The Scourge griffin descended on the platform of the fortress of Acherus, and he stepped off the griffin when a ghoul approached him, took the griffin's reins, and pulled the griffin aside.

Hugh pulled his cloak, shook it off, and walked into the fortress of Acherus, walking through the dark corridors to the center of the fortress - the Hall of Command, where the commander of the fortress of Acherus, the Grand Lord, Darien Mograini, was waiting for him.

Hugh walked over and came to the high lord, and saluted him:

"Your Majesty, Hugh Belmont and Lord Darien Mograine!"

"You are ......" the High Lord looked at Hugh, "...... That recruit, I thought you wouldn't make it back alive, Death Knight. Now it seems that maybe my first impression of you was wrong"

"So, you're not on the front line of the death rift now, come back to me, do you have any military intelligence?"

"Yes, Lord Mograini, I have brought Prince Varana's report." Hugh handed over the scroll handed to him by Prince Varana: "We have broken through the defenses of the Scarlet Crusaders, and now those who have dared to live have lost their important horse farms and mines, and retreated back to New Avalon!" ”

The High Lord took Hugh's hand-over scroll, opened it and read it.

"Pretty victory, and you, Death Knight," the High Lord said to Hugh, "Prince Varana's report records your heroic deeds and how you dealt with that stubborn enemy, and I have to say that as a recruit, you are better than many others. ”

"After this battle is over, you will be rewarded as you deserve."

"But remember, everything we have is given by the Lich King, and it is the will of the Lich King that drives us forward, Hugh Belmont."

"Nowhere is this clearer than the Death Knight. Essentially, we exist by His will. You must have heard him speak to you and invade your mind............"

The Grand Lord paused, and he looked at Hugh.

"Can you hear me now? The host is calling us! ”

Hugh Leng paused, summoned? He didn't hear anything now, in fact, he had never heard a second voice other than that inexplicable one. So Hugh shook his head, signaling that he didn't hear anything now.

"Didn't you hear that? Maybe it's too early for you now. ”

Mograine closed his eyes and nodded at something Hugh couldn't see.

"Yes, my master."

"Hugh Belmont," Mograine opened his eyes and commanded Hugh as he stood in front of him:

"You must now return to the Death Rift, back to the battlefield, and report to Prince Varana. This is the order, and we are about to launch a final assault on New Avalon and destroy the Scarlet Crusaders once and for all. ”

"As you wish, Your Excellency, Great Lord!"

In the camp of the Death Rift

Prince Varana stood on a high platform, and in front of him, all the Death Knights who had fought in this war were already kneeling, waiting for his orders.

"Haven County is ours! Thousands of corpses lay in a mess on the ground, quietly waiting to be reborn. Now, use the power of the Scourge to attack the enemy! ”

"Attack the last bastion of the Scarlet Crusaders and let our ghoul army wear down their defenses, and then we will break through their defenses and take the city in one fell swoop."

"Go ahead! The loyal knights of the master, with blood and death, tell the weak that the Scourge Legion is coming, and the end of the world has come! ”

All the Death Knights took possession, drew their runic swords and pointed them to the sky, and the neat slogan resounded through the sky in the mouths of the knights of Acherus:

Cold blood

The flow is endless

Conquer it all!
