Chapter 195: Teacher, Will You Protect Me?
Meteorites fell from the sky, and with a roar, they left dozens of sunken craters on the ground.
The stone men wrapped in flames stood up, and the green flames superimposed and spread, turning the area of dozens of meters around these giants into a scorched earth.
"Hellfire..."
In the silence, Kael'thas heard his nervous voice.
The stone people in front of him were the hellfires he was familiar with, dozens of hellfires that were so powerful that they were close to legends.
Demons as powerful as the hellfire that Daysom had seen, the orc warlocks, how much did it cost them to summon them?
The answer is hundreds of souls.
Because relying on the battlefield, the orc warlocks did not feel sorry for all the fragments they had just collected to the demons, there are a total of 32 hellfires here, and each such powerful hellfire requires 20 soul fragments, and these hellfires alone cost more than 600 souls.
Not to mention, the orc warlocks had summoned countless other demons before.
Unbeknownst to Kael'thas though, the orc warlocks were also at their limit, and their magic couldn't keep up.
Because they felt the consumption of mana, these orc warlocks gathered together and summoned many hellfires at once, confirming the victory.
Yes, it's an absolute win, dozens of near-legendary Hellfires, enough to sweep through all the elven troops.
Even if the elves defeat them, they will definitely sacrifice at least eighty percent of their lives, and the remaining two percent, among the many orcs, will only have the fate of death.
The reason why the Sorcery Lord Malakulas is so confident is also here, he believes that the orc warlocks can definitely destroy the elves.
"Your Highness, the thieves are back!"
At this point, the thieves finally approached the group.
They didn't look for the orc warlock because now that the orc warlock was already gathered in front of them, it was farther away than the team, so it was better to return to the elf's team to be healed first.
Kael'thas looked over and saw that Xiao Ao and Xiao Huo were driving the road, and the thieves were slow.
"Pick them up first!"
Kael'thas gave the order.
The elves began to move slightly to the side, long-range attacks covering the past, and the Hammer Dwarves were helping aside.
With the actions of the thieves and the cooperation of both sides, Valera led the thieves to join the large army smoothly.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness..."
After arranging for the injured thief to be treated, Valera, who was not very injured, came to apologize to Kael'thas.
She didn't complete her mission to eliminate the Warlock.
"No, you've done a good job."
Kael'thas shook his head and reassured. He wasn't deliberately partial, but the thieves really did a good job.
They have disrupted the camp of the warlocks at the beginning, and they have also eliminated dozens of warlocks, which is already quite good.
Kael'thas looked at the thieves who were nervously receiving treatment in the group, and opened his mouth, still not daring to ask about the number of losses.
[Let's ask again when the battle is over...]
He thought to himself, and then looked at Baron Sangunar, who was standing beside Valella, unharmed.
"You're Baron Sangunar, aren't you?"
At this time, Kael'thas couldn't care too much, and asked directly:
"I have not received any report from you in my ranks, so, Lord Baron, will you obey my commands?"
This may not be something that needs to be asked at all, but at least it won't be unpleasant.
"Of course, Your Highness."
Baron Sangunar smiled and nodded, not asking why His Highness knew his name—it must have been Mephites telling him.
But unfortunately, in fact, Mephites is also scratching his head.
This disciple, at times, does seem to be very knowledgeable and mysterious.
"In that case, Your Excellency Baron Sangunar, please help us clear the way ahead."
Kael'thas said, then pointed to the Hellfire and said:
"Get around these guys!"
Sangunar was stunned: "Your Highness, this is impossible. ”
The other side is not a fool, how can Kael'thas be allowed to bypass them?
"No, it's very likely!"
Kael'thas, however, was convinced.
He had sensed one thing from the very beginning, something very familiar.
The mighty Hellfires, with the same eyes as they did years ago, staring at Kael'thas with staring... and his Hellfire.
He didn't understand why, what the hellfires were looking at, but he knew that he had become the target of these demons, just like Dysom that time.
Just a high-level Doom Guard could swagger in front of those orcs, and Kael'thas didn't believe that the powerful Hellfires would follow the orcs' orders.
【……】
Mephites stared at Kael'thas in silence at first, but then suddenly spoke:
"What do you want to do, Kael'thas."
He seemed to see something, too.
"Teacher, will you protect me?"
Kael'thas asked.
Mephites picked his eyes, was Kael'thas preparing to use him?
He didn't like to work out Kael'thas this method.
However, when Mephites looked at the many elves behind him, he was also a little unbearable.
He knew that Kael'thas wanted to go out and get rid of the hellfires, and that wasn't a good idea.
But that's the only way...
He didn't think at all that seduction alone could make Kael'thas grow, and the young prince needed to understand that this kind of behavior was not good, and many times, perhaps even greater tragedy, he was the prince of Quel'Salas, he could not be so naïve, and always wanted to protect his fellow human beings by himself.
However...
Mephites could also see at a glance that it was difficult for the current elves to resist the attack of the Hellfire, and the aura effect of those dozens of Hellfires alone could cause significant pressure on the elves' healing.
If Kael'thas wasn't allowed to go out, the elves would probably be destroyed, and the elves would have withdrawn from the war.
This could be a bigger blow for Kael'thas than to deal with it.
[That's it, that's it...]
Mephites thought about it for a while, and finally figured it out, but before that happening, there was one more thing he had to know.
"It's not a joke, are you confident? Kael'thas . ”
If Kael'thas is unsure and only thinks about his help, then Mephites will be disappointed.
"I'm not sure myself..."
Kael'thas shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"But for some reason, I feel like it's going to be fine."
Mephites' eyes narrowed, "Is it because of those hellfires staring at you?" ”
Sure enough, he found out.
"Hmm."
Kael'thas nodded, then said with a little confusion:
"Back in Dysom, and as it is now, Hellfire will turn its attention to me."
This news, which had not been revealed before, shocked Mephites' heart.
He thought back to the events of the past, and finally noticed something unusual.
Why did Kael'thas learn to summon Hellfires, and is it the reason for those Hellfires?
Can Hellfire spot the difference in Kael'thas ?
Mephites felt a great sense of foreboding in his heart, and he realized that Kael'thas was in great danger.
However, this matter is still uncertain, and it will be necessary to make a few observations in the future.
If it is confirmed, new measures will have to be considered.
"Alright, Kael'thas, I allow you to act."
The Hellfire ahead of him began to act, and Mephites noticed this and approved of Kael'thas's action.
Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Baron Sangunar, you lead the team around the side, and I'll draw those hellfires away!"
He turned to Sangunar and said, then looked at the worried eyes of some of his compatriots, and said:
"Don't come near me, I have the protection of the teacher, it's impossible to be fine!"
The elves were silent.
They knew it, but none of them wanted to see their prince go on a dangerous mission alone.
"Your Highness, I'll accompany you."
Valella spoke.
Kael'thas shook his head, "I'm better off alone. ”
He has epic strength, and he is better alone, but if other elves follow, he will be held back.
"Your mission is to get to that cave quickly and destroy it!"
Kael'thas emphasized.
He didn't know how long he could delay, so the elves' task was not easy, and time was tight.
"Yes."
The elves looked at Kael'thas and agreed.
"Well, please."
Kael'thas said to Baron Sangunar, and after seeing the other man nod, he drove the white rooster and began to run forward.
"Weightless position!"
He turned on his skills, floated and shook off the orc soldiers along the way, and took his two pets with him and went straight for the hellfire.
This is an act of seeking death - most orcs think so, and they all reduce their attacks on Kael'thas and dodge the two pets of the phoenix, which strangely allows Kael'thas to move forward unusually smoothly.
"Let's go too!"
Seeing Kael'thas departing, Sangunar stood in front of the elven team and led the team forward.
Baron Sangunar is a very suitable pathfinder, his mental defense is very strong, and he will not be tempted by fear and demons. Under his fear, all the orcs in front of him fled in a panic, and the speed of the elves suddenly increased a lot.
Of course, the triangular formation, all of a sudden, the speed of acceleration also increased the pressure on the elves on both sides, in order to save time, all the elves were in full swing, and even some priests read the rare attack skills, and squeezed out of the orcs.
The distance between the elves and the cavern began to decrease, and the Hellfire, as expected, did not move, and its eyes were fixed on Kael'thas.
Mephites kept counting the distance, keeping an eye on the situation on Kael'thas's side.
He wanted to know what Kael'thas was going to do, and then he was ready to protect him.
"Shhhh
At this moment, another group of horses' hooves sounded from the side of the Elven Mountain Cliff.
"Humanity has arrived..."
Mephites reminded the elves that he had long been aware of the sublime and warm aura.
If I'm not mistaken, this breath could only be...
The rumored human paladin.
