Chapter 0099: Cursed Cult and Dread Demon King (1)
Diesel had been with Kel'thugad for a long time, and when Kelthugad was still a living person, he had been persuaded by Kelthugad to join the Cult of the Damned God created by the other party, and soon became a middle-level member.
His current status in the Cursed God Cult is probably at the upper middle level, in general, he is in a very awkward position, major things, or good things are basically not his turn for the time being, and those trivial things in the sect, with his current position, do not need members of his status to do, anyway, he doesn't need to worry about small things, and big things don't have his share!
In fact, Diesel was originally a mid-level mage who studied in Dalaran, he has good spell attainments and talents, as long as he is willing to work hard in Dalaran and work hard to improve his spell level, then, as long as he does not destroy with Dalaran in the future, then he must have a bright and infinitely better future!
However, he was not satisfied with what he had gained and was about to obtain. In his opinion, the things that seemed to be about to be easily obtained by him were far from satisfying his appetite! He was not like ordinary mages, he did not care about the fame, status, money, or power that stupid mortals were looking for!
In his Diesel view, human beings, as short-lived mortal races, whether they are fame, status, money, or power, are all just flowers in the mirror, no matter how much you get, after a hundred years, it will be just a bamboo basket for water......
Look at Archmage Antonidas in Dalaran, he's pretty powerful, right? It's almost the limit of what a human being can reach! But so what? The Archmage is also very old now, how long can he live? Decade? Or twenty years? After all, he still can't escape the shackles of mortal lifespan, and he can only live to be more than a hundred years old at most, and then he will be finished! Won't all that he has now be turned to dust with him?
Look at the first human kingdom in human history, the Arathas Empire, the wise and martial Emperor Soladin is powerful, right? O Emperor of the Ages! But so what? What now? The small saplings in front of his grave have grown into towering trees that several people can't hug, and the annual rings of that big tree are estimated to be too many to count! Isn't the emperor dead yet? By now, the human empire he had single-handedly established had been divided for countless years!
Rather, the High Elves of the same period as Soladin the Great, Anastarian of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas? The King of the Sunseekers, but he has lived until now! If it weren't for the fact that a while ago, the death knight Arthas led the undead to destroy Quel'Thalas, they would definitely be able to continue to live well!
Look, that's at least a few thousand years of life, which is almost eternal for a short human life!
This is what Diesel wants to pursue! This is what he envies, envy and hates and can't ask for! So, what he wants most is: eternal life!
As long as he has eternal life, whether it is power, honor, status, money, or whatever, he can slowly get it. So, when Kel'thugad was only the tip of the iceberg of the path to eternal life that was only slightly revealed to him, he immediately fell completely!
When he was in the Cursed Sect, he was undoubtedly a fanatical and loyal cultist, otherwise he would not have climbed to the middle of the sect very quickly. However, what no one knows is that in his heart, whether it is some bullshit Lich King, or some sect leader Kel'thugad, or Arthas, the king of the Land of the Dead, etc., the loyalty and fanaticism he shows to them are all fake, and he is very dismissive of them!
The only thing he really wants is the one that seems to be available right away—eternal life!
Therefore, the reason why he is still serving the Cult of the Cursed God, which is now the Scourge, as a living person, without regrets, even if he has the blood of countless people in his hands for this, what is he for? Just for the chance to retain his own consciousness and transform into a lich like Kel'thugad!
However, the Scourge Legion he served doesn't seem to be as smooth sailing as it was at the beginning!
A few days ago, Diesel had already heard from other sect members that the Death Knight Arthas, his attack on Quel'Thalas didn't seem to be going too well!
Although they eventually destroyed the kingdom of the High Elves, killed all their armies and kings, planted the Well of the Sun, and succeeded in resurrecting Kel'thugad! However, I heard that when they attacked Silvermoon City on the way back, they were blown up by the secret magic weapons of those long-eared high elves......
The army of hundreds of thousands of undead was wiped out in an instant, and in the end, they didn't even bother with the remnants of the undead army scattered elsewhere in Quel'Thalas, and the two of them teleported back to the castle of Lordaeron in a disgraced manner. It is said that both of them were not lightly injured, and it took several days of hard work and a batch of precious materials to recover.
It is precisely because of the heavy losses of the undead army that recently, many of the main undead scourge legions in Stratholme, Andorhar and all over Lordaeron have been dispatched to the main city of Lordaeron. It is said that it is to wipe the butts of Arthas and Kel'thugad, and prepare enough troops for them to assist them in a mission that seems to be very important!
However, now these things have nothing to do with Diesel, he is still just a middle-level member of the Cursed God Cult, and he can only listen to the plans of the bigwigs above, and he has no part in interfering at all! Now, he just needs to concentrate on completing his reconnaissance mission!
Originally, this dangerous task of detecting the enemy's situation did not need to be done by Diesel himself! It was only because he was unlucky and tragic that he lost a large number of troops and was punished by his superiors that he had to take such a risk!
It was a few days ago, on that unbearable day, when he was ordered to lead a part of the undead army to sweep away the remnants of the living in the eastern region of Lordaeron and replenish the undead soldiers, he suffered his first fiasco!
Just outside a canyon, the army of the undead led by him Diesel was beaten to the ground by a huge stone giant that suddenly rushed out and was still on fire! In the big battle that day, not only did he almost lose his life, but he also lost more than 2,000 undead troops!
It was precisely because of this that he was severely reprimanded by the Dreaddemon King, who was in charge of the affairs of the eastern region, and was finally ordered to return to the canyon where he had failed miserably, and risk blending in with the human refugees, so that he could detect the huge lava giant that suddenly appeared to attack their undead in the shortest possible time, and the red monster like Naga that appeared behind! Find out what kind of existence they are and why they help humans? Why attack the undead again?
Now, the day after Diesel blended into the canyon, he was almost done.
He now knew that in this Grand Canyon, which was originally a lumber yard, in addition to about 3,000 human refugees and a small number of scattered soldiers of the original Lordaeron, there was also a fire elemental gang that was said to be the Fire Kingdom of Fire! What shocked Diesel was that these fire elemental monsters were all elite existences above the high level! And the lava giant, which was so huge that he lost his troops, that it was still a lord-level monster?
In just two short days since Diesel dived into the canyon, these fire elementals had built three flame portals one after another. These gates, which are similar to the Dark Gate, but with raging flames, can teleport thousands of high-level elites to their fire elemental every day! Although quite a few of them were fire demons, there were also some meltcore dogs, or lava giants much shorter than that Otuk, a large number of small and medium-sized fire demons, and finally, he also found dozens of flying, huge and terrifying golden fire eagles?
So, when he saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore!
Diesel felt that he had to report back the news as soon as possible! Otherwise, if they were allowed to continue to develop and grow like this, it was estimated that there would be nothing to do with the Scourge.
After all, who knows how many more they can continue to summon? Look at it, there are now more than three thousand fire elementals in this Grand Canyon! To this end, they also burned down a large area of the forest and re-formed another fire elemental camp.
It is said that they are also going to build a small palace for their queen? It's the one Diesel saw in the distance on that rocky mountain bag that was working! What surprised him the most was that the way they built their palaces with fire elements was to melt the rocks directly and then use magma to pour them? If they use this construction speed to build a defensive castle outside, I'm afraid that the millions of undead armies will not be able to take them, right?
The most important thing is that the current practice of their fire elements is to build palaces and summon troops, which is obviously a rhythm that they don't plan to go anymore!
If they really plan to stay here and not leave, then the first to bear the brunt of it must be the Scourge Legion! Let's see, people are getting along with living humans now, and there is no crime in autumn! But when they kill the undead, it is called a merciless one, this is obviously a differential treatment, this is obviously an extremely evil organization that hates their undead extremely much! As a member of the Scourge Legion, can Saidir not panic? In the event of a natural disaster in the future, he will definitely be the object of liquidation! Therefore, he decided that he had to go back and report to the higher authorities immediately, and he could not drag it out like this any longer.
……….
After sneaking out of Stratholme, a former municipal masonry castle, under the pretext of going out in search of food, Diesel quickly summoned a death horse and drove back to Stratholme as fast as he could, day and night. Now this city is the command center of the undead in the eastern region of Lordaeron, and the upper echelons of the nearby Scourge are usually here, such as: those Dreadlords who don't seem to be easy to mess with?
After entering Stratholme, Diesel didn't bother to rest a little, and directly abandoned the undead war horse and plunged into the depths of the castle. He must report to the higher-ups as soon as possible the information he has obtained in the past two days of reconnaissance!
If he could, he hoped to use this important information to offset his previous losses of a large number of undead armies. As soon as I think of this, Diesel gets angry! The Death Knight and Kel'thugad had lost hundreds of thousands of undead troops, and they hadn't been punished in any way, so why should he be swept to the end after losing more than 2,000 himself? Is the Scourge still unreasonable?
……
"Dear Lord Banazal, the villain has been reconnoitred......"
After entering a dark stone chamber, Diesel whispered to a dark shadow through the flickering light of the fire on the wall.
Every time he came to this room, he always felt a huge sense of oppression, it was a feeling of putting his life under someone else's hands, it was very uncomfortable! It was as if the rabbit was facing a ferocious bobcat, and he could almost feel the cells trembling all over his body!
"Oh? It turned out to be you little worm, hey...... say, what valuable things have you found in the past few days? If I'm not satisfied, maybe, I should turn you into a ghoul? Or is it part of the abomination? In the darkness, the shadow with its huge silhouette slowly stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Banazal has been very unhappy lately, and he is in a very bad mood right now! Because, that incompetent stupid knight called Arthas almost ruined the big thing about their Burning Legion!
Not only did that fool lose hundreds of thousands of undead in Quel'Thalas, but he almost deprived the Burning Legion of an extremely important pawn! That fool actually made the newly resurrected Kel'thugad almost die in Silvermoon City again!
Because of this incident, not only was the Dreadlord in charge of their plot severely reprimanded by Lord Akmund, but also the plan to attack Dalaran in the past two days was ruined! Because, after they put it together, they found that the army of the undead natural disaster would be insufficient!
You know, in their original plan to fear the Demon King, Arthas went north, destroyed the kingdom of the High Elves, resurrected that Kel'thugad, and replenished a large number of undead armies, and then led the army back directly! If it were according to the plan, the already huge army of the undead, and counting the new undead who joined after the elimination of Quel'Thalas, they would be able to muster together an army of nearly two million or more death! In this way, whether it is used to attack Dalaran or to conquer the world of Azeroth after the arrival of Lord Akmund of the Legion of the Legion, their undead armies can play an extremely important role!
But now? What a big pomp and circumstance when that bastard Death Knight went north, an army of hundreds of thousands of undead! But when you come back? Just him and Kel'thugad! And it's still a wound? If it weren't for the fact that the plan to summon Lord Akmund still needed the help of both of them, he Banazar would have slashed their minds alive!
Otherwise, how could he, Banazal, now run back to Stratholme and order his group of wastes to go out and continue to collect the undead and attack the living? What is he trying to do? Isn't it because the undead army is temporarily not enough to make trouble?
"Honor, Honorable Lord, after the small one personally went in to investigate, I found that we are afraid that we can't help the place called Flame Canyon now, the strength of their army..., it is too strong!" With a hint of unease, Diesel thought about it and began to tell the truth what he knew.
"Oh? May I think you're making excuses for your incompetence? Or maybe ...... you want to use these clumsy excuses so that I won't be held accountable for the thousands of undead troops you lost a few days ago? Do you think so? Little bugs? Banazal turned, his evil green eyes staring at Diesel on his knees.
"Nope! No! No! Adults, small ones will never dare! The little one dared to swear in the name of the Lich King that everything he said was true! "Where are the thousands! It's only more than 2,000! Diesel sweated profusely and swore in defense.
"Humph! The Lich King? Ha, what a big name! What is it? It's nothing more than a puppet of our Burning Legion! Forget it, you little worm won't understand this! Go on, I'm interested right now, what did you see in which canyon? "The Dreadlords of the Lich King Naozu have always been dismissive of the poor creature trapped in the ice!
"That's right, my lord, when I mixed in, I found that there are many powerful fire creatures in which canyon! Whether it's the Fire Demon, the Lava Giant, the Fire Eagle, or the Flame Dog, there are at least three or five thousand of them now! And their numbers are increasing every day! Because, they built three flaming portals, and now they're planning to build a fourth, bigger and taller one! The worst thing is that those monsters are all elites above the high level! ”
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Diesel hurriedly told everything he knew. These Dreadlords are all moody things, and if he gets annoyed and makes himself an unconscious ghoul, it will be a big loss!
"That's right! Also, they seem to be from some kind of flame kingdom that they claim to be from, and they have a common queen, what is it called... That's right! It's called the Queen of Flames! And it's strange that their queen is still a little human girl! Those powerful flame creatures all listened to her as a human! ”
"Oh? An army of flames? Portals? Or are they all high-level? Hey! Or a human flame queen? Hey! That's kind of interesting! ”
Banazal finally felt a little interested in these powerful flame creatures that suddenly appeared. It's all high-level troops, I'm afraid that only their Burning Legion has this kind of confidence, right? What is this called the Flame Kingdom, it looks like it's not small!
"Little bugs! I need you to do one more thing now, and if you can do it, I won't hold you accountable for the loss of those undead armies. ”
Banazar suddenly thought of a good idea, perhaps, the matter of their lack of undead troops could be solved soon? Tens of thousands or more of high-level flame armies make him excited just thinking about it!
"Your Excellency, please speak!"
Seeing this huge figure come out of the darkness and walk in front of him, Diesel quickly lowered his head, and could only tremble until the other party's huge hooves stood in front of him, and the huge wings in the dim light and shadow.
"I want you to think of a way to send someone to their queen's side! Can you do it? "If Banazar wants to carry out his plan, he will need a pawn to infiltrate the opponent's side.
"Getting into that little girl's side? My lord, this is not good! The only ones around her are those fire creatures, and no other people, whether humans or undead, can get close to her! Their palace guards are all the most elite fire demon soldiers, and some of them are almost at the level of a small lord, so we can just go over and send them to death! ”
"Then what do I want you to do?" Seeing that this little insect was so useless, Banazal was furious, and raised his hand, clutching a cloud of green light under his hideous claws.
"Wait! Spare your life! Let me think about ......, right! There you have it, there is a way! Before I left, I seemed to hear that the palace that the fire demons had built for their queen was about to be completed, and they were going to recruit a group of human maids for the flame queen, maybe we could .....? ”
"Idiot! So what are you still doing here? Why don't you go ahead and arrange it? The Dreadlord narrowed his eyes and kicked the stupid human away.
"By the way, you take this communication gem, and when your people successfully infiltrate it, remember to send me a message, and when the time comes, I will teleport it, and this matter must be done as soon as possible! Otherwise...... Hum! As the other man was about to get up and leave, Banazal called out to him, and then dismissively threw out a green developing gem for communication.
"Yes! Be! The little ones are going right now! Picking up the gem, Diesel was so frightened that he ran out, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
