Chapter 17: The Quarrel
"What's going on?" Hugh looked at Melia suspiciously, waiting for her explanation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In order not to attract the attention of the Scarlet Crusaders, we chose to infiltrate the city in batches, and Master Kurdila was the last to enter. But before entering the city, Prince Keresses gave Master Kurdila another mission, going to New Avalon City Hall to kill Mayor Quibby, and finding New Avalon's register to bring back to him. Melia explained.
"Master Kurdila easily accomplished this task, and after completing the mission, he chose to leave the city. However, while leaving, his whereabouts were accidentally revealed, and although Lord Kurdila had another Death Knight preemptively deliver the New Avalon registry out of the city, Lord Curdila was defeated and captured by the Scarlet Crusade's Grand Prosecutor Valos and his monks. ”
"Prisoner!" Hugh was surprised that the Scarlet Crusaders, who were fanatics of the Holy Light, did not purify the undead they saw, but chose to take them prisoners, what a Halloween joke.
"You're right, Melia! Are you saying that a group of Holy Light believers with abnormal brains actually captured a Death Knight? Do they have water in their heads, or do they want to use their so-called light to inspire a spirit? ”
"Yes, sir, the living did choose to take Lord Kurdila captive." Speaking of which, even Meria didn't understand why the Scarlet Crusaders, who had always been unable to get along with the Scourge and were eager to kill every undead creature, would capture a Death Knight, and they should not plan to torture a Death Knight.
Although a dead man, the Death Knight is no different from a living person, and no matter what his appearance is, he is still an undead spirit in essence. In other words, all the methods of torturing the living are not suitable for the Death Knight at all, and it is impossible to extract information from the Death Knight.
Unless it is to directly torture the soul of the Death Knight, but the soul of every Death Knight belongs to the Lich King, how can a few Holy Light Priests have the strength to take a soul belonging to the Scourge from the hands of the Lich King?
Hugh narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.
Could it be that these fanatics have a way to snatch the soul of the Death Knight from His Majesty the Lich King? That's impossible! How could a mere human being compete in strength with the artifact of Frost Sorrow, and as a living person, how could his knowledge of the soul be better than that of the Dead Ruler himself! Why, why did these living people choose to capture Kurdila instead of what they always did?
Can't figure it out? Hugh shook his head, not going to think about it anymore. Anyway, Kurdila, who is a loser, does not deserve sympathy, in the Scourge Legion, only the strong can survive, and the weak have no need to exist.
"Leave that loser alone!" Hugh said coldly to Melia
"What is the mission, I follow the orders of Prince Kereses to infiltrate the city of New Avalon to join you and assist you in completing the mission! But I was not informed of the specific goal of the mission! ”
"I don't know, sir!"
"Supposedly to investigate the so-called Scarlet Dawn, I don't understand what it is! The Commander of the Orbaz did not explain to us, but told us to keep an eye on the passing Scarlet Crusaders every day, wait for a messenger to appear, and then capture the target. ”
"Forget it, I'll go up and ask Albaz and Sassarian directly!" Hugh instructed Melia
"When I arrived, the patrol's route information went wrong, and I was almost discovered. Although it has been concealed, it may still arouse suspicion, so be careful. ”
"Rest assured, sir, this inn is run by a cursed cultist lurking in the Scarlet Crusaders, and has been open every day for years. Won't attract the attention of the Scarlet Crusaders. ”
"Anyway, it's better to be careful!"
Hugh walked up the wooden staircase of the inn to the second floor of the inn, walked to a room, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the sound of two people talking to him came from inside, causing Hugh to stop.
"Kurdila has been caught, we should go rescue him!" Hugh could hear it as Thassarian's voice.
"Save? Why save him, why save a loser! Albaz's hoarse voice came out.
"Thassarian, have you been burned out by the light on the battlefield! Why do you have such a foolish thought! ”
"That's one of us, one of our Knights!"
"So what, who let that idiot reveal his whereabouts and almost implicate us!"
"Kurdila didn't mean to be caught, those fanatics don't choose to kill a little bit of their conspiracy, we should rescue Kurdila."
"Then tell me how to save it! How to break through a castle with at least 100 elite garrisons with a dozen death knights without attracting the attention of the army in the city! ”
Orbazz raised his voice.
"If you can't think of it, shut up, I'm the commander of this operation, and I won't approve of the whole army to save a loser."
"Then I'll go by myself!"
"Stop, Thassarian, I command you to stand in the name of the commander! Have you forgotten our mission? ”
"Wait until I rescue Kurdila first!"
"And then it brought in a whole bunch of paladins, didn't you? If you dare to take half a step out of the door now, I will slaughter you in the name of a traitor!" ”
"Good! Come on! Who's afraid of whom! ”
"yes, I don't understand, Thassarian, why do you care so much about that loser?" Albazz said angrily to Sassarian.
"He was too cowardly, which is why he was captured by the scarlet crusaders. You must know that in the Scourge Legion, only the strong can survive, and the loser has no status to speak of. Not to mention ............."
"Not to mention anything," Sasarian interrupted Orbazz, "Orbaaz? Just because he's a blood elf? ”
"Don't forget, maybe when we were alive, we were enemies of each other......"
"But after death...... The seeds of the curse took root in our hearts, and we were all orphaned by the Scourge Legion, leaving everything behind, and we became brothers after we died! ”
"Brother? To hell with Themsarian, we're just weapons in the hands of His Majesty the Lich King, the Deathbringers who sweep away all enemies for the Scourge and bring nightmares to the living, not a kid's trick! ”
"You two don't quarrel!" Hugh pushed the door open and broke in, interrupting their argument.
"For a trivial matter, I have been arguing here for a long time, you are the commander of this team, don't mess up the task because of personal emotions!"
"You're Belmont, that fellow of Kurdila!"
"It's you, phew! A prop, what do you have to teach me! Albazz was taken aback when he saw Hugh intruding, but he still made a vicious threat. You don't have to worry about me! ”
"Yes, Albaz!" Hugh smiled disdainfully, "I am here to assist you in your mission, not to listen to you quarrel here!" ”
"I'm the commander of this mission, even if you're sent by Prince Kereses," Orbazz pointed at Hugh.
"You have to listen to me, too, there are no past props!"
"What do you say? There's no prop from the past, are you talking about me? Hugh didn't think something was right, Thassarian was able to recognize him and nothing, the two had met before in the fortress of Acherus. But why was this Albazz Bloodpoison able to recognize him, and what did he mean by the repeated mention of 'props'? He was sure that they had never met before, and today was the first time they had met, but listening to his tone, he seemed to know Hugh's past well.
And Hugh did know that he only had memories of being dead, not of when he was alive. This is not normal, the other Death Knight have memories of when they were alive, it makes no sense that he is an outsider!
"Of course I'll talk about you again," Albaz sneered at Hugh
"Who else but you, Goti ......." Orbazz suddenly realized what he was talking about and immediately shut his mouth
"What do you care about so many soldiers! All you have to do is learn how to obey orders! ”
"Yes! Albaz! ”
Hugh thought to himself that Albaaz seemed to know something, at least why he didn't have memories of the past, but now was not the time to think about it, he wasn't here to watch the quarrel escalate into a fight between the two Death Knights.
"Didn't you say that before! In the Scourge Legion, only the strong can survive, and the loser has no status to speak of. ”
"You want to fall out with Thassarian and let this mission fail, right? If so, then I don't mean to slaughter you first! Hugh drew his rune sword and plunged it into the floor of the room, his soul-burning eyes staring at Albaz and saying word by word.
"Do you want to try it, is your old Death Knight powerful, or is my new generation stronger!"
