Upheaval 5

Because of the appearance of Lotherma, the road was relatively smooth, and it did not go through too much interrogation to enter the hinterland of Quel'Thalas. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but despite this, there are some situations between us...

During this period, we asked many local elves if there were demons here, but there was no news about their appearance from beginning to end, and it seemed that the appearance of demons was only to deal with us humans.

Yes, they didn't have what happened to Northrend, and it was impossible to easily believe that their prince was controlled, and perhaps they knew the cruelty of the demons, but they also thought they were controllable, just as their ancestors 10,000 years ago had the arrogant idea of being able to control everything... Perhaps, in short, they have already written their dissatisfaction with me in their expressions.

I didn't have time to say anything to them, and I wouldn't be trusted by them if I explained it, but more importantly, I knew the real reason why Quel'Thallas didn't appear as a demon... That is, Kael'tham's plan is going very well. I can only speed up my own speed to deal with this situation, and hope that they will not leave the team until they know the truth, after all, we have very limited personnel.

As the speed picks up and personnel appear, some of them have shown signs of displeasure and have begun to criticize Lotherma for helping us, and even bluntly state what they really think.

"We can't disobey the Prince's orders... Those demons are only a few, and they are no threat at all, and we must return to our posts. ”

Halfway through the march, the men finally stopped, and at first only a few people brought it up, but then half of the rangers responded, and I had no choice but to stop it in the face of such a scene...

"You'll soon see more at the Sunwell, if we don't stop your prince. ”

"Perhaps, but those are only against you humans. ”

As I thought, those elves didn't think so, but what surprised me was that they actually said this sentence so bluntly, and my anger at this was spontaneous, I really didn't expect the elves to be so selfish, but in general, I wasn't too surprised that they would have such thoughts, and even so, I had to win their following, so I reasoned with them head-on.

"You idiot, if it's against us humans, I think you elves will suffer first, don't think you can control those creatures, their low-level ones may be able to, but this time they are summoned demon kings, who almost destroyed the whole world tens of thousands of years ago. ”

"It's as if you've experienced it, but there were no humans at that time, and the history you learned was all inherited by me and us, so why didn't we know about those things. ”

Seeing that his statement was echoed by many rangers, he could only put down his shelf....

"Your Excellency thinks that if what I say is true, then what do you think I am a human prince, with only forty guards, and I have come to you with a marriage contract. ”

"It must be for His Highness Kael'thas who wants to drive a wedge between us. ”

"Hmph, if you think you are a man of understanding, then come with us to your king to tell right from wrong, unless you think that your king is really confused. ”

I mounted my horse and went on, and the guards followed me when they saw this, followed by the rangers who knew me well, and those people did not say anything for the time being, but their language proved that they might not be on the same line with us if there was an incident.

Everyone still headed towards the second gate step by step, and the more they thought about it on the way, the more angry they became, because their sentence 'demons are against humans' and their idea that they could control those demons really made me understand the selfishness and arrogance of their race somewhat. Perhaps at the time, Gallissus ignored them for similar reasons... Perhaps, coupled with the fact that Lotherma didn't say a word, it could also show that he was also a little hesitant in his heart, or rather, that sentence also reflected the thoughts of all their rangers.

Anyway, we continued to the second gate, and as we made our way through a dense forest, we finally had a situation

"There are demons! how can they be here!" Lotherma immediately sensed that we were being ambushed, and we soon saw them coming from all directions, and by and large they were several times more numerous than ours. Although they thought of launching a surprise attack on us, we were already alert and formed our formation before they charged.

"Be prepared and don't be afraid of them. I ordered, in fact, everyone has already been mentally prepared and skillfully cooperated, and those rangers who have not fought with us can also find their respective positions and carefully watch the enemy in front of them.

Judging from the opponent's discomfort to the environment, as well as the way they fell on the way to the charge, they were supposed to be newly summoned demons. Perhaps the summoner didn't know that most of us had combat experience when we first met Mel Ganniel in Strathom, so it didn't have a surprising effect on us.

The guards resisted, and the elves output remotely, quickly knocking down the demons that rushed up in the front row. And they have a certain IQ also recognized our cooperation, so they changed their methods, using concentrated fire to force us, trying to eliminate the rangers, breaking my formation from the inside, as you know, the rangers are also good at fighting, even after a few demons rushed in, they did not become a climate at all, but their misjudgment made them lose a lot, and finally made them give up the siege of us and hold on to us, but we did not venture forward, relying on their longbows, and finally they escaped from our field of vision.

Compared to their losses, we did not suffer any casualties, except that a few abrasions were quickly repaired in the Light.

They've held us back for a while, but this time the rangers were completely convinced that the demons had threatened them, and no one complained, especially since they were heading in the direction of the elven village. The elves recognized that the situation might also be directed against their civilians, and they asked for a pursuit, only to be stopped by their companions.

"What about them, we can't let them behave recklessly here. ”

"If we can save a while, more demons will appear soon, so for now, we can only go to your king and ask him to come forward to stop your prince, otherwise we will only encounter more demons. "Thassarian stopped the rangers. Yes, he had a point, but I was hesitant to send out some guards to help their people, but my subordinates said so, and the elves had just shown themselves to be selfish, so I acquiesced in his thoughts.

"Let's go at once," I ordered, but the rangers' own homes were disturbed by demons, and they could not hold their hearts.

"We can inform the nearby garrison. ”

"No, they were summoned by your prince, and they must have known that I was going to stop him, so the rest of the army may be surrounding us, so we must meet your king at the first opportunity, or it will be too late. ”

I warn everyone that they are not saying anything about it, and it is at this time that Lotherma has her own understanding.

"Wait, since we were ambushed this time, and the people behind it already know our intentions, how could we easily pass through there?"

"But I've heard that the second gate is the only entrance, and we have to try our luck and hope that we can get through, otherwise we'll have to break through. ”

"It's too difficult, the prince is in the depths of the palace, since there are demons here, then the second gate must also have their people, and once the city gate is closed, it must be opened with three keys, and it is impossible for us people to seize the key. ”

"That's what I'm worried about—" I vaguely remembered something, and if it did, I couldn't help it, but it seemed like he had a way. "What do you suggest?"

"We're going to paralyze them, so we can escort you over, maybe we can fool the guards, or we're going to force our way through. ”

"Good way!" I said, and after a little hesitation, everyone agreed to the solution.

There is still a long way to go before the second gate, and in order to cover up the truth, we will start preparing now, and each of us will have to hang some colors on our bodies. Then we were tied up with ropes, and the horses were given to the elves, but fortunately the mounts were all knowledgeable about human nature, and they did not make any strange appearances.

So we headed inside, and at the gates, we saw the heavily guarded troops waiting for us, and I peeked at the guards in the city, and looked at their alert looks, which seemed to verify his fears, yes, Kael'thas seems to have explained some things to them, but as for which of Kael'thas cronies I must pay attention to....

They were also very shocked to see this, maybe they were shocked why Lotherma had arrested me, or why a human prince appeared, I couldn't tell from it, but those who doubted the gaze should be Kael'thas henchmen.

"What's going on, isn't he Arthas, the prince of men?" asked a man in captain's costume as he turned to Lotherma, apparently they were supposed to be non-commissioned officers of the same rank.

"His Royal Highness Kael'thas won't let anyone in, but this human prince insists on entering, and is even willing to be tied up to see our king. So that's how I brought them in.

Lotherma 'explained' in detail, and as soon as her words fell, she was retorted by the stunned elves.

"Then you are derelict in your duty, you disobeyed the prince's order and let them in!"

"Well, he made up nonsense and said that it was our prince who summoned demons, I don't believe it, but who knows that just now we found a large number of demons around us, so I must find out about this matter and let the king know about it. ”

Lotherma was caught off guard by saying that, he didn't act the same way I thought, and maybe that's what he was saying. But at this moment, a figure with white sideburns and a wrinkled face adorned by a mage came up to me, and he seemed to be very concerned about the subject, and as far as he was, he seemed to be the supreme magistrate here.

"Demons, what do they look like?" he walked over with a serious face, as if he had experienced something, such as if he had lived for tens of thousands of years, if he really did... It was really an opportunity for me, and I started to prepare my own plan while Lotherma explained.

"I thought they were trolls in red armor, horned helmets, and black cloaks, but when I found out that these were all part of their bodies, I realized that they were the creatures we scare children, and their fierce eyes and distorted expressions were more terrifying than the shadows in my heart, I didn't expect them to really exist in the world, and they were all around us. ”

"You spread rumors, how can they appear with us. "Some people couldn't hold their breath and turned on Lotherma. I seemed to recognize what the elder was going through, so I stepped forward and broke free of the rope, and before they could respond, I verbally rebuked the man.

"Then you know that demons have been infested on the human side, General. "At the same time, all my subordinates broke free and took over the weapons in the hands of the Ranger. Many people were shocked that Lotherma would do this with me, and just as they raised their arms, the elder and some of his peers were more concerned about my topic. They didn't raise their weapons, but wanted to hear my explanation.

"Demons are already flooding your place?"

"It's not a flood at all, but..."

That person didn't call himself up, I couldn't help but laugh, yes, he was so clear about the situation, he had already exposed the problem.

"You know our situation very well, I guess only summoners know how many of them are. ”

"How would I know. Although he defended himself, there were some things that could not be hidden.

"At this point, you can use the trick to peek at the person who blames me, he knows very well in his heart how the demon came from. ”

The elder immediately turned his gaze to the man, and soon his gaze turned from sharp to trance.

"It's true..."

"That's just the human side. The man who peeped north had just reacted and wanted to stop the elder's sympathy, but he didn't know what happened tens of thousands of years ago.

"Bastard!" the man was slapped hard by the elder, knocking him to the ground, and then politely addressed me. "This is our fault, and I will tell Your Majesty so that he can give you a reasonable explanation. ”

"Demons are against humans, we don't have to meddle at all!" the man who had been struck down stood up and admitted the incident, and turned to the other side, that is, to tell the elder about his interests.

"Young man, you don't know the situation at all. The elder continued to persuade the junior, to which I interjected, to which he realized a more terrible reality.

"No, it's not that he doesn't understand the situation, but because they are accomplices, like your Sartre 10,000 years ago, who were bewitched by the devil and became the new slave. ”

"Sartre? Without waiting for the man to argue, the elder continued to ask me questions, saying that there was something special about him coming to see me.

"I'm listening to the dragons, and this time the owner of the 'satre' is none other than your prince, Kael'thas. ”

"This, this, how is that possible?" he muttered in disbelief, but he quickly realized something...

"I believe you can also use spells, and you should also be aware of where are those artifacts that Aurelia desperately recaptured? Yes, they are near the Sunwell, if you know about the demons, I believe you also know very well how the predecessor of the Sunwell, the Well of Eternity, was used to disappear!"

"He's sowing discord. "The junior general tried to persuade the elder, but was reprimanded, but he didn't understand what I told him meant to their race.

"You go on, human prince, how can you be sure it's Kael'thas. ”

"Because he has taken up a cursed weapon, and he, like the Elder God hidden in the depths of the Well of Eternity, corrupts his bearer, so your prince has been controlled, and I hope you will make a decision to stop him sooner. ”

"Bloody mouth. "One of the generals attacked me, and I resisted it with my sword, and at this moment, the elf seemed to recognize something, and cast a spell on me, which I thought would be an attack on me, but it ended up falling on the elf who attacked me, and severely wounded him.

"I believe in you, human. I will let you see our king. ”

"Thank you for your trust, but I think we have to eliminate these 'Sartres' around us first."

I said this, and then some of the elves appeared, and although they did not change in appearance, they had used dark magic and began to cause chaos, yes, they knew that my plan had succeeded, and they had to stop me.

Although they are only a small minority, it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and the battle situation is in a passive situation. I have to speed myself up for this.

"Elder, me and my men and your rangers continue north, and if anyone stops me or follows me, they are the ones who have been corrupted. ”

"I understand!"

So we continued our march north towards the sunwell, under the cover of him and his cronies...

At the same time on the other side. Kael'thas was playing with the artifacts he had stolen from Dalaran, but he cared more about the weapons in his hands and the sounds they made than these. And the voice not only conveys the will of Naozu, but also allows him to listen to the information that all his subordinates give him, and of course, it also allows him to communicate with any subordinate he wants to communicate with, or control their will.

"Unexpectedly, he actually came alone, and tricked my ranger unit into entering the second gate. He seemed to say to himself, but the words were still heard by those he wanted to hear, and the man in the black cotton robe sensed the meaning and stood up and bowed his knees to it. "Is he here to stop me, or is he here for someone?"

"It doesn't matter to me. She replied respectfully, but at that moment, a dark arcane struck it down and shredded part of her disguise, and in the midst of these, it was evident that she was a woman, a graceful woman, but her corrupted and resurrected body might be reminiscent of something else, that she was once a woman.

"Perhaps, but you know how much I hate him, and it's up to you to deal with it, and don't let me see him alive in front of me. ”

"I understand..."

The loyal subordinate retreated expressionlessly, as if he knew that the pain of the mission had completely obscured the sharp arcane that had just been sharpened, and Kael'thas gave a twisted smirk to this, as if he wanted to see such a performance and such a result.

"Arthas, since you're here for him, don't go. Kael'thas wiped Frost's sorrow and said silently, just not knowing what he was going to mean this time.
