Journey in the Night 14
But for now, both victory and flight are only expectations, because we are inferior to the enemy in both quantity and quality. If you www.biquge.info go deep into the hinterland and be blocked, you will only welcome more enemies without any reinforcements. But the state of affairs is often not too pessimistic, at least for the time being.
My consciousness has awakened, in the form of a dragon, and it is all thanks to Mavi's help, yes, it takes a lot of power to help a dragon awaken, and she is in even worse shape than I am now.
I looked around, the fog around me was completely shrouded here, the visibility was so low that I could only see the soles of my feet, the corpses of the Night Elves under my feet, I could imagine that they were all sacrificing to protect me, and I felt sad in my heart, of course, this was only the beginning of this feeling, and soon I would soon follow in their footsteps, especially the endless screams all around, the confusion and the trauma of my body could no longer make it clear whether the sound came from a demon or an elf, but for my heart, I could only hope that this was Eredar from the Burning Legion and the Dreadlord, but is this possibleγ
But I was expecting this, and this kind of thinking also brought me an unusual peace, especially now, when the tired Mavi leaned on my paws, which somewhat reminded me of the feeling I had before, yes, like before, with an elf without any thoughts... Beneath her mutilated armor, stroking his hair...
But when I touched her, I realized that my hands had become dragon claws, and she wasn't the elf, yes, everything had changed, but there seemed to be something else I could do. So I grabbed her in the palm of my hand and prepared to take off, and although the visibility was very low, I thought I could still get out of here and take her to safety. In short, now is not the time to meditate, no matter what aspect you say, you can't be so idle, what else can you do, at least you can win it...
"Wait, Arthasβ" Mavi immediately understood my intentions, but she did not agree with my actions, as if she had her intentions. "We don't have to leave, it's no longer necessary. When she spoke like this, there were many screams and voices of resistance around her.
"I can still take you out, and trust me, I'll let you join your troops. I promised, but to my surprise she still shook her head, as if she didn't believe me, or maybe she really didn't want to leave here, but kept wanting to die with a dragon like me, which was unimaginable, but I believed she was really tired, or rather tired of it.
"The situation on their side is no more optimistic than ours, and we did our best. β
"Trust me, I promise, I can do it. β
"There's really no need, really, this fog can't make you know how to go wrong... And since we have chosen to support here, we should continue our own front and fight with you until the last moment. β
Mavi rejected my idea again, and I said nothing about it, if she thought we were going to stay, then I really didn't have anything, because for myself, I had long regarded myself as a dead person, and the greatest meaning of a dead person being alive was to help those who were still alive.
"Well, if you think it's necessary, then that's it, but I don't want you to accept your fate, you're not badly hurt... But youβ" I tried to convince her, but was stopped by her one-handed boo-shing gesture, which made me realize a problem.
"To be honest, I like this feeling very much, just like the previous battle, at the end of that battle, there was only one person left, and that feeling made me feel unusually quiet, maybe quiet, like this, exactly the same. β
"There's a stupid dragon guarding you like that?" I joked, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be the case.
"Yes, he was a dragon, a red dragon, and he was also dying at that time, and after I was cured, I was also like this, and then he took me out of here and escaped. β
"Or I can do it now, trust me. β
"No, it's not necessary now, I'm just trying to find the feeling I used to, 10,000 years, 10,000 years, you know that's a huge number for any race. There were tears in her eyes, and this was the first time I had seen her, the tears of a strong commander, but I didn't have a deep understanding of why.
"Yes, 10,000 years ago there were no Terrans, and most of the other races. I felt a little emotional, and I didn't think about anything else, just understood what she meant. "If you like that, then I'll leave it at that, until our fate ends. β
"I wish this was the caseβ" she leaned on my paws and continued, seeing that she was so expectant, I really had no reason to refuse such a request, but I was very reluctant to watch her fate end.
"It's not that hard, I can definitely do it, but.."
"Really?" Mavi interrupted me, a little agitated at first, but soon became extremely frustrated, "Perhaps. β
I really didn't understand what she meant, maybe she really thought I was the dragon, but she still made me feel a little bit like that, because it also made me feel some of the same old feelings.
"I'm also glad that you can accompany me like this, which makes me recall a lot of memories with her..."
"Gianna, when you were a prince. "She was excited I said this, but quickly regained her composure...
"Not exactly, because she's okay now, it reminds me of someone who's as tragic as me..."
"Oh... It's that High Elf, that Ranger General... Yes, she is also excellent, only a few hundred years old and very young, which is for an elf. β
"Yes, you know our situation well. β
"These things are well-known in your continent, a prince who even did not hesitate to turn his face with the most stubborn king of the navy for the sake of an elf, I naturally know some... If I can make you think of her, that's fine..."
She replied softly, making me feel a little comfortable, yes, a lot of times they were alike, in a way, or I hoped....I couldn't help but shake my head at that.
"But some things may not go back. β
"No, maybe it can, it just takes time, like this, I've been waiting for 10,000 years, maybe longer, but I believe, I've always believed that I can wait for him to appear, and you have given me hope. β
"When the war is over, you can go to Crassus, and he will help you find the red dragon, but only if you live. β
"He disappeared 10,000 years ago, and there were many, many deaths at that timeβ" She didn't want to continue talking to me about these things, but the speed of her speech instantly increased, and I was also a little excited by what she was talking about next. "It doesn't matter if I live or die, but you still have to complete your redemption. β
"My salvation? I don't care about life or death, what kind of redemption is it, so that you, and Ysera, the Queen of the Green Dragon, say this to me. β
"Because we are in the same situation as you are now, if the balance of fate is determined by the weight of a thread, perhaps you are the key. She explained, but it seemed to me that it was just a prevarication, and there must have been many reasons for it, and maybe she didn't know, maybe.
"I'm really relieved to hear you say that, but I don't believe it..."
As I tried to continue, the last and closest scream in the fog was right next to me, and I turned my head to look closer, and saw that it was Ereda, but it was only a corpse, and after leaving the corpse behind, the back of another huge demon was right in front of me. Yes, a demon bigger than the Doom Guard, maybe he's no match for me, but only if he doesn't use his powerful magic that exudes terrifying power, and there are many figures like him around him, but they are much smaller than him.
"You're right, I don't believe in this, human beings, if fate was in your hands, then you would have died!"
He spoke to us, and it didn't matter if he believed us humans or if he said that humans were my scorn. Because I know that my time is short, I can only give this strong man a verbal rebuttal.
"Maybe I should have died, but if I die, you will not defeat us, because there are still many who can continue to inherit our will and continue to fight against you. β
"Very well, I appreciate your words, but waiting for victory like you won't work, you have to do something to prove it, don't you?"
"Of course, I can show you my power. β
My anger had risen a lot, and he was happy to go one-on-one with me, holding back from side to side, a smirk of anticipation on his face. And this made the 'demons' around him very puzzled.
"You brought it upon yourself, Arthas!" he said, and raised his weapon, yes, a pair of weapons that I looked so familiar with it that surprised me, and it was at this moment that Mavi's words made me recognize the situation.
"Enough. Illidan, do you use the power of Gul'dan's skull against those who help you, or do you take advantage of his weakness? β
"Illidan!Guldan's head, it made me realize something, yes, he absorbed its power to become so powerful, but it also shattered a hope, although that hope itself was illusory. β
"You have selfishly swallowed this power to yourself. I was angry at him, and he would have misunderstood me, and he was angry and ready to do something to me.
"Very good, you really exposed your mentality, it turns out that everything you are doing is not helping us at all, you are just doing it for yourself. β
"I am not you, and I will never covet my own power, let alone betray my own people like you. "Yes, I have the impression that he is like this, he does not hesitate to join the Burning Legion for the sake of his own strength, but just when I said that I would not betray the people, I seemed to think of something, maybe I should not have the idea of handing over Gul'dan's head to the black dragon, and I can't help but feel a little ashamed of this, and it is this shame of my own that makes me ignore one thing, that is, the impact of my words on Illidan.
"Damn, you're accusing me of betraying the people! β
He wanted to do something with me, but Mavi stood up again to stop him.
"Illidan, don't forget that you almost killed my brother, you can't make the mistakes of the past. β
"It's different, now he..."
"He's like that now, maybe some things have passed for us, but some things haven't started for them yet. You know, some things are just beginning!"
"Yes, some things haven't started yet, so they're not destined yet," Illidan nodded, and it surprised me even more, after he thought about it. I was surprised by how he behaved, but even so, I still held my anger at him...
After cleaning up the battlefield, Illidan led less than twenty percent of his troops on the way back, and during this trip, I still took advantage of the fact that no one was there, and I still gave Illidan a sarcastic reminder in private.
"You'd better disguise your demons, or some elves won't like to see you like that. I said this, but I didn't expect this sentence to touch his confidence even more, yes, at this moment I could see that he was already hiding his emotions at me with a sinister face, yes, I could feel that he had never been so angry even with his enemies, maybe I might be crushed by him soon.
But in the end he regained his composure, and only admonished me with a harsh word.
"We haven't settled our accounts yet, Arthas! never will!" he said, and went back to his old ways, yes, but the demon's wings and great demonic horns remained, just like his mutated soldiers...
"Thisβ" I wondered to myself why he had such a huge movement, but it was then that I realized that he had another soul in his body just like me. "It seems that Gul'dan's soul has affected him. "I meditated in my heart, and at this moment the soul of Kel'thugad in my body also came out.
"You're right, they're a fusion of wills, but Gul'dan can only affect his personality to a very small extent. β
"If you didn't think of that, it would kill me. "I doubted Kelsegad's understanding, but what he knew next made me even more stunned.
"Perhaps, but I think it's that little bit of personality that preserved you, and Illidan is more angry with you than he is at the demons!"
