Chapter 32: Before the War—A conversation between Erigor and Lenid
Erigor put down the parchment in his hand, got up and walked to the window, he reached out and opened it, looked at the overcast sky outside, and was silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAbove the sky outside, black clouds obscured the sun, and the air was filled with the smell of decay, as if the end was near.
And in fact, the end is really coming!
Alas!
Erigor sighed wearily, turned back to his desk, and picked up the parchment on it again.
This piece of parchment contains news from the scouts, a bad one that can't be worse. A few days ago, a Scourge Legion's floating fortress landed in Haven County and attacked the Scarlet Crusaders stationed in Haven County, and the Scourge nearly wiped out the Haven guards, and then the Scourge slaughtered the entire Haven County. With the resurrected Havenshire army and civilians, the Scourge quickly assembled a large army in the rear of the Scarlet Crusaders and laid siege to New Avalon.
In just a few days, New Avalon fell, and the Tirisfal Glades and reinforcements from the Valley of the Hearth fell into the trap of the Scourge Legion, and were cut off by Stratholme's army of the undead, and finally besieged and annihilated in the city of New Avalon. Senior Commander Ghawar Publad is missing, and it is estimated that there will be more than one bad luck.
In the blink of an eye, the Scarlet Crusaders' power in the Eastern Plague Lands was destroyed, and only their Silver Dawn was left to defend the entire Eastern Plague Lands from the scourge undead. With the resurrection of the corpse, the Scourge has assembled an army of tens of thousands, and after destroying New Avalon, the next target, if nothing else, is the Chapel of the Wish of Light, where he is now.
Once here, they joined hands with heroes of all races to repel the Scourge attack, and now, the Scourge Legion is here once, but can they still survive the crisis as lucky as the last time? Isn't No, the last of the Mograine family's self-sacrifices, awakening the souls of the fallen heroes in the depths of this land, and it is unknown whether they will survive the last time?
"It's a very bad situation, isn't it? Errigor? ”
"Well, Lenid, I guess we're going to face a big battle that's even worse than the last one!" Erigor said to the Forsaken standing at his desk, "The minions of the Lich King have destroyed the Scarlet Crusaders, and now we are the only ones left in this land who can fight the Lich King. ”
"However, Lenid, it's not just this that worries me the most!" Erigor's handsome face was full of deep exhaustion, and he sighed, "This time, far more ...... than when Naxxramas attacked us Alas! ”
"We've been through that apocalyptic war, and it's hard for me to imagine you're ....... like that now," Lenid said, clasping his withered hands, "...... Well, what happened to you in such a frustration? ”
"We're afraid we'll have to face some of the enemies we're least willing to face!" Erigor handed the parchment in his hand to Lenid.
"Some...... Tragedy ......"
Lenid stretched out his dry palm and took the paper from Erigor, he opened the parchment and looked at what was written on it with his empty eyes.
"It's not just a tragedy, Ergor!" Lenid looked at the contents of the paper for a long time before he said in a somewhat sad tone, "There is nothing more sad for me than to watch some innocent brothers become the minions of a natural disaster, just like I once did, unable to control my body and soul, and going to destruction in torment!" ”
"Those, Death Knights, I'm sure they don't want to be accomplices of Arthas, but ......" Erigor paused, organized his words, and looked at the Forsaken in front of him, some of which he couldn't say for some reason.
"Say, brother of the Light!" Lenid placed the parchment on the table and said to Erigor, "Don't worry about me. ”
“....... Well, Lenid, the Death Knights who were once noble warriors are now the Lich King's killing machines, slaughtering all living beings in all of Havenshire. Erigor said in a deep tone, "All! That land is now stained red by the blood of the innocent, and then the innocent people have become ......"
"Become an ugly monster who only knows how to kill, just like I used to be." Lenid took Erigor's words, and said in a sad voice, "The kind that is driven to do what you don't want to do, to become a murderer, to become a devil who craves flesh and blood, to become a ......" He raised his dry hands and stared at Erigor with empty eyes.
"A monster like me." He said.
Errigor: "Lenid....... I'm not ........"
Lenid: "It doesn't matter, Erigor. I am a monster, I know this, I know the sin in my hands even more, when I remember those dark days, when I remember the innocent people who fell in pools of blood. Then I understood that this was all a judgment against me...... The trial of me, the murderer. ”
"From beginning to end, I have known the sins that have been committed in me." In a firm tone, Lenid pointed to himself and said to Erigor, "So, I am grateful to the Banshee King for his rescue, and thank the Queen for helping me to take control and recall everything in my life. I have a new family, Erigor, and we call ourselves the Forsaken. Forget your past, remember the hatred in your heart, and pursue a future of revenge. ”
"And for those brothers who are still under the control of the Lich King, all I can give them is to help them get free! Even if that brother is...... Mograini, that kid! ”
"Yes! Mograini! We owe it to them," Erigor leaned back in his chair and sighed under his breath.
"Darien, he redeemed his father, but he failed to save himself."
Lenid: "So, we're going to face an Ember Bringer!" Erigor! ”
Errigor: "Yes, Lenid...... An Ember Bringer, a hero we owe to. ”
Lenid: "Well, all we can do is save his soul, Erigor." Until now, no Death Knight had been able to break free from the Lich King's clutches, and Arthas's control over the Death Knight was stronger than anyone else thought. We can't get their hearts back, we can only help them get free! ”
Lenid stood up.
"I'll go get ready first, and see if my axe is still sharp!" Lenid turned and walked to the door, pushing it open:
"I'm afraid this is the last battle, and I'm glad you were able to accept me as a sinner and give me a chance to atone for my sins. It is my pleasure to fight alongside you, Commander. ”
"It's my pleasure too, Warrior of the Silver Dawn!"
......
Watching Lenid leave the room, Erigor propped his hands on the table and looked at the empty room. He stood up, walked to the side of the wall, and took the sword that hung on the wall. Boom! Erigor pulled his sword out of its scabbard and looked at the bright blade, looking at the tired face reflected on the blade.
Erigor put the sword back in its scabbard, hung it back on the wall, and walked to the window once more to look out.
"O Holy Light! Please bless us with the opportunity to overcome this difficult time! Please also save those innocent souls from the darkness, and help those warriors who fall into the darkness to be free and redeemed......"
