Chapter 207: Multi-party competition
It was still some time before the Scourge army approached Lordaeron, so the Cursed Sect didn't have a positive idea at this time. The thousands of baptized believers were planned to disperse to various towns around Lordaeron. Then began to talk about a larger mission. But now everything is disrupted.
The evil power emanating from Gul'dan's head was too strong. This was an outbreak that had accumulated over several months, and in just a few moments, all the believers present were deeply infected. Evil energy permeates every cell of their body. The bodies of those believers began to twist and swell. One by one, tall and deformed monsters of different shapes appeared.
The most important thing is that their minds simply cannot withstand such a huge force. All the believers got out of control at the first time. They become unconscious monsters.
As soon as Gul'dan 's head erupted, the news had already been received from the palace banquet. Almost all the magicians in the envoys of various countries felt the unbridled power of darkness. Because it's so obvious.
There was a lot of discussion at the banquet. Still, Terenus stepped forward.
"Just a minor issue. My knight has gone to stop it, and will soon be able to calm down. ”
Lordaeron's military power can still be trusted. So most of the envoys just talked about it and didn't get flustered. But in the next second, a shrill horn sounded. This is the alarm that only goes when the city is under great threat. This means the crisis of the imminent fall of the city.
But the city fell, and there were still tens of thousands of elite troops in the city. Plus hundreds of envoys from various countries. More than a dozen powerful magicians. Plus the walls of the inner city. How could a configuration of this level be in danger of falling?
Terenus grimed and was about to reprimand his guards for not doing well. A blood-stained guard ran in.
"The crisis has spread throughout the city, Your Majesty, we need the support of the Forbidden Army. Enemy ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the guard coughed violently and fell to the ground. It was only then that Terenus came to his senses. The crisis in his own city has reached the point of urgency.
"The enemy has spread throughout the city, Medivan. I remember you said there was a portable portal spell. ”
"Yes, it's pretty perfect."
"Then you can get ready to sell it, remember to be secretive, it's not a glorious thing for Lordaeron."
At this time, Lordaeron was already in chaos. What was once a night of joy and celebration turned into a night of death.
Countless green-skinned twisted monsters rushed into the city. Wanton killing, destruction for no apparent reason. They don't take anything, they don't even eat people. But they will kill all life in sight, even a dog. This is the instinct after the deep infection of evil energy, pure destruction.
Those monsters, all green, each of them were nearly two meters tall. Not only is it infinitely powerful, but it also has a powerful ability to heal itself. No weapons are needed, just the ability to tear apart heavily armed soldiers with their bare hands. Eventually, some kind of shrill howl came out constantly. There is a complete depravity and distortion all over the body.
A large number of soldiers rushed into the streets and began to clean up these monsters. But in the city the cavalry could not work. And these monsters have amazing bounce power, and can run freely around houses. The vast majority of soldiers simply can't compete with them. And it's also completely impossible to keep up with their speed.
Strength comes at a price. In fact, when they are deeply infected by evil powers, these people are already dead. Unless they can be replenished with evil energy far from it in the future, they will soon run out of life potential and die. But before they die, they may have caused unimaginable damage.
"My lord, those monsters are now roughly divided into three groups, and they are heading towards the palace, the monastery, and the residential area."
"Don't worry about the palace, where is the forbidden army stationed. But we couldn't get to the monastery and the residential area in time. ”
At this time, the whole of Lordaeron was in a state of chaos. Burning houses, screams all around. Citizens who are busy fighting fires, people looking for their loved ones everywhere, watching the excitement, and asking for help. The chaotic scene greatly hindered the advance of the soldiers.
Inside the monastery of Lordaeron's capital, a group of young monks were nervously watching the fighting outside the door. Not long ago, several monsters rushed not far from the monastery. The soldiers stationed there immediately engaged them in battle. Relying on the superiority in numbers, the soldiers quickly knocked down the monster. But then more monsters appeared.
The priest has the power to heal, but he has no fighting power. At this time, Lordaeron had not yet begun training as a paladin. The Silver Hand is still more than ten years away, and the monastery has no ability to protect itself.
A monster overjumped the soldiers' onslaught and climbed over the walls and rushed into the monastery. Those mild-mannered priests had never seen such a twisted and terrifying monster. As a pastor, the heart must be extremely resilient. But those young pastors are still far from the point where Tarzan collapses and does not change his face. They scattered and fled, trying to delay their own death. The aged monks, however, took up arms and tried to make a last stand.
"The Light will shelter us."
Devotional prayer exit. A layer of holy white light shrouded them. And the moment the monster touched the white light, it let out a roar of pain. Its claws made a burning sound, and the entire claw became shattered in an instant.
But the Holy Light did not completely kill the monster, it was just afraid of the power of the Holy Light and did not dare to move forward. But he didn't retreat, just kept turning around the crowd, trying to find a flaw.
At this time, the battle outside the door had also come to an end, and one monster after another broke through the gate and rushed in. Apparently the soldiers have been lost. At this moment, even the old monks began to despair. That's when the turnaround came.
A golden spark flashed in midair, and then another ....... The golden sparks formed a huge golden arch in midair. Around it, countless looming runes emerge to stabilize the portal. I heard a voice coming from the other side.
"Well, the positioning is very accurate, and the portal effect is stable, but as a portable version, it can only last about a quarter of an hour. So, as soon as possible. ”
Then the monks saw only a heavily armed warrior appear in the portal force. And then the second. In just a few minutes, hundreds of soldiers appeared inside the monastery. Keeping those disgusting monsters in his way.
The battle took place in an instant. The leading soldier was armed with a cross-handed sword, and with a single sword, he directly cut off the head of a monster. At the same time, the rest of the soldiers swarmed up, mingling with the remaining monsters.
These soldiers are completely different from the patrols on the streets. Whether it is the equipment on the body, or the individual force, or even the team cooperation, it is almost impeccable. The captain of the lead is a top player.
This captain, who was no more than thirty years old, had reached the same level of swordsmanship as Lothar. Maybe it won't win against Lothar, but it's not much worse. In fact, if Lin Xuan knew the name of this warrior, he wouldn't be surprised. His name was Tifliodin. Heir to the future Ember Bringer.
And it can be seen from this. The heritage of the Lordaeron Kingdom is still incomparable to the Stormwind Kingdom. There are such outstanding figures in just one group of forbidden troops.
Similar images continue to appear throughout the capital city of Lordaeron. Lordaeron's most elite Praetorian Army uses portable portals to appear anywhere in the city. The monster that had an advantage in speed quickly fell into disadvantage. A large number of soldiers appeared around them, forming a situation of encirclement and suppression. Surrounded by elite Lordaeron soldiers, the monster was quickly destroyed.
In the palace, a court mage of Lordaeron is using a crystal ball to monitor the city's crisis. And constantly determine the coordinates of the appearance of monsters. This is used to determine the coordinates for the teleporters. Mediven was watching, and he wanted to tell the mage that there really was a lot of problems with his detection magic. But thinking of Lin Xuan's admonition, he still held back.
On this night, Lordaeron's face had been lost. Being able to get Medivan to help operate the portal is already the limit. If Medivan is in the mouth of the mouth. Not only did it help, but it couldn't be good. It may even attract hatred.
Human beings are like that, sometimes face, especially the face of the royal family, is more important than anything. Terenus is a good monarch who can put down his face and ask for help at this time. But that's about it. This kind of favor is too much, and it is purely a slap in the face. At that time, even the first bit of kindness will be gone.
In fact, there is another guy who is the most confused in this turmoil. It was the bishop of the Cursed Sect who was in charge of the mission in Lordaeron's capital. Since Kel'thugad had been tricked by Lin Xuan into going to the Tower of Karazan in advance to study the Philosopher's Stone, immortality and the like. The Lich King is missing a great spokesperson.
This bishop is also a magician who leans towards darkness. But his talent and ability are too far behind the original Kel'thugad. So much so that up to now, there have been no powerful mages fooled by the Scourge. And at this time, in the face of the situation in front of him, this guy was blinded for the first time.
Well, the strange skull not far away has a similar aura to the Lich King, but it's not quite the same. The point is that it appeared at the wrong time and place. It was clearly something from the same faction, but the timing of its appearance happened to disrupt his ritual. Obviously they want to act in secret. As a result, he rushed up while shouting. The chaos in Lordaeron has greatly caused the Lich King's displeasure. Because it made the Scourge Corps exposed in advance. But this guy hasn't figured out what's going on?
And the Lich King, who was far away in Northrend, also sighed. The stronghold of Northrend is facing a counterattack from the Nibru Empire. The descendants of the Yakini Worms were far more dangerous than he had imagined. The Frost Trolls weren't as obedient as they might have been. And now Azeroth's plans are even more of a mess.
The Scourge has assembled in the Far North. But Naozu knew that this was not the best time to invade. Because most of the Scourge at this time are just corpses and skeletons. Even if there is a part of the Abomination and the Gargoyle to help. It is also far from being able to contend with the entire alliance of Azeroth.
The only batch of obsidian golems, as well as a few frost blue dragons, could not make up for the gap between them. The original series of actions against the magician of Dalaran seemed to be perceived. It took a long time to flicker only one of the second goods. The expected Lich Legion, the Death Knights of the Formation, was completely unformed.
The spider demon who was originally the most favored by him was even more capricious and could never really be used by him.
Neozu didn't intend to go to war with the Nibru Empire in the first place. She hopes to work with them and use the power of the Spider Legion to invade the Eastern Kingdoms. But the descendants of the subunit worms don't know what cooperation is. I promised to cooperate yesterday, and today I may attack your camp. Now they're fighting him again. For a while, Nao Zu only felt that his great cause was really hopeless.
And Kil'Gardan's plan for the advent doesn't seem to be going well. The high elves seem to have taken precautions in advance, and their plans have been severely thwarted. There seems to be an invisible hand looming against the entire Burning Legion. All plans were discounted, and Naozu seemed to be able to feel the taunt of fate.
In the face of such a passive situation, Nao Zu did not lose confidence. Because he still got a trump card in his hand.
In Lordaeron tonight, chaos and carnage are the only protagonists. All of them seem to have forgotten that the original protagonist is a person, a newborn person.
Even Lin Xuan ignored that he once attached great importance to Arthas. But when he knew that Arthas had not yet been born, he completely let his guard down. And the situation between Azeroth and the Burning Legion is so complicated and chaotic. Lin Xuan devoted almost all of his energy to this war. But it misses a key point at hand.
Just as everyone was nervously waiting for news from outside the palace. A faint but evil will slowly entered the palace bedchambers. This spiritual power is so weak and extremely secretive. Even Lin Xuan's early warning magic didn't react in the slightest.
A newborn baby is sleeping in a cradle. Having seen too many guests tonight, it was already tiring. In his sleep, the baby's eyes roll continuously, as if he was having a nightmare. But with the consciousness of a baby, perhaps he can't even understand the meaning of the nightmare. But in that short period of time, some evil will that did not belong to him had been buried deep in the deepest part of his spirit.
As a baby, he has no value to be bewitched. But his identity is predestined, and his future is worth a thousand gold. The seed has been planted, and it will soon become entangled with the baby's mental power. And in his spiritual world continues to grow.
This is the seed of darkness, and he does not cause any direct harm to the baby. Not even in the future. It is essentially an explosives package that requires a fuse to be detonated.
If Alsace had lived a dull life, the seed would have no effect. But how does a prince spend an ordinary life?
