Chapter 154: The Dreadlord Arrives
Xue Huan stood on the rooftop of Utgard Castle, overlooking the scenery of Howling Fjord.
It has a very high foothold and a very open view, with almost the entire view of the Howling Fjord, the clear Daggard Bay, the silent Giant's Plains, the beautiful and rich Kaudus Island, and of course, the Frostblade Peak that connects the Grizzly Bear Hills.
Now that these places have submitted to him and to his Scourge legions, he will use the castle of Utgard as a base to look over the whole of Northrend, and let endless death and fear spread to every corner of this icy continent.
Xue Huan condescendingly watched all this, like a king looking greedily at his own territory.
Then, he forced himself to withdraw his gaze and instead looked back at the Scourge Viku who were cleaning the battlefield, the undead creatures he had just resurrected with Frost Sorrow, and with the only mental power he had so far, he could only resurrect such a small number of people.
But it doesn't matter, now that the crisis has been resolved, he just needs to wait for his mental strength to recover, and at that time, the entire Utgard Castle will be ruled by the Viku people again, but this time, it will be the natural disaster Viku.
After this difficult battle, his strength has reached the level of a fourth-level death knight, and he also has a great mage-level evil spell, even if it is as strong as the lord-level Imiron, he is still defeated by his evil sword.
Thinking of this, Xue Huan laughed cruelly, this feeling is really wonderful, the moment of revenge is coming!
A flash of light flashed, and then, a metallic and terrifying voice suddenly sounded behind Xue Huan.
"You've defeated the mighty Imiron, it's... Incredible!"
Who is it!?
Xue Huan was shocked in his heart, he was surprised that with his own strength, he didn't even find the enemy's breath, and subconsciously turned his head, and what greeted him was a distorted and terrifying face.
This one, to be precise, was a huge creature, with dark gray skin like dry tree bark, a bare head that gave birth to two long horns that bent upwards and a pair of huge fleshy wings behind his back like shadows, and his legs bent backwards with sheep's hooves were wrapped in metal armor covered with spikes, decorated with patterns of skeletons and bones.
He stood on the platform, less than a few meters away from Xue Huan, smiling arrogantly, showing his sharp teeth, his eyes shining with a strange green light.
Xue Huan raised his head and stared at the creature in front of him, both shocked and a little incredulous, he subconsciously pulled out the frost sorrow and made a defensive posture.
"Sorry to disturb you. ”
The monster seemed to ignore Xue Huan's defense, he **** his sharp long claws, and said to himself: "Put down the magic sword in your hand, you can't use it to hurt me, you know, this cursed sword full of dark energy is forged from the furnace of our Nasrezm." ”
The monster's words completely shocked Xue Huan, but they did not make him lose his due reason.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked coldly.
What Xue Huan didn't expect was that the monster quickly answered his question, and his voice was clear and audible.
Nasrezm, or Dreadlord, is the most unifying name of their clan.
These demons from the Twisted Void are a group of demons without any sympathy, who are happy to use intimidation or deception to kill their enemies, and then bring entire worlds to fall under the influence of their darkness, conquering many worlds by controlling their minds and turning them into their own minions.
"Marganis, this is my name, and it's an honor to meet you. ”
The Dreadlord grinned black lips with sharp fangs, "Demon Ruler!"
Demon Dominator!?
A big question mark rose in Xue Huan's heart, why did this guy call himself like this, and what was the purpose of his coming here?
"Speak clearly!!"
Xue Huan's voice was full of coldness, and the frost sorrow in his hand was still pointing at Malganis, as if it was about to pierce the latter's body in the next second.
"Hahaha!!"
Marganis raised his head and laughed, and pointed at the glowing magic sword in Xue Huan's hand with his huge claws, "As I said, this weapon forged by our Dreaded Demon King clan is not enough to kill me, this time, I am only here to see the demeanor of the Demon Ruler, and by the way, to see how the mission of that guy from Naozu is progressing." ”
"Now that the purpose has been achieved, then..."
A burst of blue light flashed, this is the teleportation technique that magicians are best at, and I didn't expect Malganis to do the same.
By the time Xue Huan reacted, Marganis's huge figure had already disappeared into the moonlight, leaving only the sound floating in the air.
"Your next target, the human kingdom Lordaeron, I will be there waiting for you and arrange the master's follow-up mission!!"
Bang!!
Xue Huan raised his fist angrily, and with one punch, he dented the stone wall beside him.
Now that he is a Death Knight, his strength has long since changed, and the dark power brought by Frost Sorrow has strengthened his muscles and brought him endless strength, and he is no longer the skinny and weak warlock who can only secretly cast evil spells in the shadows.
This is enough to see from the fact that he fought the powerful Imiron!
But with the increase in strength, more and more confusion and mysteries lingered in Xue Huan's heart, and his intuition told him that things would not be so simple, and he was like a chess piece, used to constantly remove the obstacles to the advancement of the superiors.
This feeling...
It's terrible!!
"Master, everything has been cleaned up according to your instructions. ”
Kel's Sugaard's voice suddenly sounded in Xue Huan's heart.
Listening to this familiar voice, Xue Huan pinched his wrist and hid his anger back under his pale face.
"Well, you're doing a good job, Kel'thugad. ”
Xue Huan paced over, stretched out his hand, and slowly stroked the edge of the gilded throne, which used to be Emiron's throne, and now, it belonged to him.
"Does that guy still refuse to give in?"
"Yes. ”
Kel'thugad floated in the middle of the brightly lit hall with a respectful tone, "Even as you bound him with dark magic, and ate away at his spirit and flogged his soul with untold pain, he still resisted. ”
"I didn't expect him to be more tenacious than I thought. ”
Xue Huan smiled, he sat down with his back to the throne, the softness and comfort of the brown bear fur made him addicted, he didn't expect that this guy would enjoy it, God knows how long it has been since he sat down to rest like this.
After defeating Imiron, and using Frostmourn to bind all the strength of his body, Xue Huan threw the former King of Viku with two options.
One is to lead the rest of his Veku into the arms of darkness and swear allegiance to himself and the Lich King, or the other is to kill him himself and give his body to the Lich King.
Maybe that guy hasn't recognized his identity as a captive yet, and he has no choice between the arrogant, but Xue Huan is happy to use darkness to corrupt a person's will, and that guy used to be a high king.
As for why Xue Huan didn't kill him directly and use the power of darkness to transform into an undead creature, the reason for this is very simple - that guy's strength is too strong, even more so than Skavard.
This is also the reason why Xue Huan has been unable to execute Imiron.
After departing for Lordaeron, he needed a strong enough subordinate to defend his hard-earned territory.
Dakuru can't, the brave and warlike troll warrior will carry an army of plagues and curses to make the Zudak trolls submissive, and even less for Kel'thugad, who is about to follow him to Lordaeron, Imiron's choice is the best choice to defend Utgard's castle.
But until then, voluntary allegiance to the Lich King is a prerequisite for this plan.
At the moment, this guy is still stubborn and refuses to give in to the great Dark Knight King, but Xue Huan has time and patience, after all, he still has to spend two months in this frozen wasteland.
"Go down, Kel'thugad, and continue on the task I have arranged. ”
Xue Huan supported his chin with one hand, changed to a more lazy and comfortable sitting position, and leaned on the throne.
During this time, he will be used to form a new undead legion and sweep away the Howling Fjord, and this new undead legion will become a nightmare for Northrend, and the whole world!
