Chapter 203: The Well of the Sun
In the endless void, a huge figure was casting some kind of spell. A crimson and massive body with demonic wings behind it. It is none other than the Demon Lord of the Burning Legion, Kilgardan. The void in front of it was constantly twisting and shattering, eventually forming a pitch-black spatial portal. Endless darkness, with evil, swarms out of it. But instead of feeling the slightest discomfort, the other party seemed to enjoy it very much.
He was a demon lord, and all his power came from the twisted void, and the aura there was to him like the breath of his homeland.
And with some kind of strange spell of his, there seemed to be some kind of slight fluctuation in the unknown space opposite. A chill that transcends everything gradually seeps through it. In that unknown space, a piece of ice that seemed to exist for endless years slowly floated in.
The ice from the depths of the Void was reawakened in Kil'Gardan's hands. Countless dark runes were engraved on it, and a dark power that was deep to the extreme slowly poured out. The ice finally turned into a rune sword filled with the power of endless darkness. On Earth, countless players have been obsessed with it, 'Frost Grief'.
Lin Xuan's trip to Quel'Salas was unexpectedly smooth. I thought that elves were the kind of creatures that were extremely xenophobic and had eyes above the top. But the elves of Quel'Thalas, on the other hand, have been lonely for too long, hoping to communicate with other creatures.
And Darth Rema is also a qualified leader. And well aware of the horrors of the Burning Legion, he has begun to mobilize the whole clan to prepare for war. In the original book, Arthas led the Scourge in the bloodbath of Quelvasalas, killing the entire High Elves in their bloodbath. Now that they have prepared in advance, they can at least maneuver with their strength.
And the surrounding human kingdoms are quite uncomfortable. Just like Lin Xuan said before, even if they already knew what was going to happen? It is not always possible to make the right move. Because when the crisis is not coming, humanity will always pretend not to see it.
Originally, the Storm Kingdom's expansion plan only made them slightly nervous. After all, the Stormwind Kingdom is strong, and there is a Lordaeron to suppress it. At this time, Lordaeron was the boss of the Eastern Kingdom. But now the movements of the high elves made them really nervous.
If you look at the map of the Eastern Kingdom, you will find that the location of the Storm Kingdom and the High Elves is extremely special, and the two of them show a vague envelopment trend for the entire Eastern Kingdom. If the two parties join forces. The High Elves' mage legion, cooperating with the Knights of the Stormwind Kingdom. And with the relationship between the Stormwind Kingdom and Ironforge Castle, it is estimated that the dwarven musket team will be added. This kind of power, Lordaeron is estimated to be unable to suppress.
This time the military's fighting faction had the upper hand. In any case, the surrounding neighbors have begun to blatantly expand their armies. We're going to have to say that anyway. It's like in modern society, if someone is conducting a military exercise in front of your house, you have to respond anyway.
So the whole human world is plunged into a strange arms race. Expansion of the army, stockpiling of ordnance and rations. Even a certain degree of actual combat drills was conducted. Ironically, when an alien race called the Orcs invaded, no kingdom cared. But when there is a slight disturbance in one's neighbors, all the kingdoms become nervous.
The arms race across the continent of Lordaeron does not seem to have affected the ancient nation. This is also where the self-confidence of the overlord of the Eastern Kingdom lies. It's almost understandable that even if you go together, I won't frown. But in the shadows all over, some covert war has begun.
Joshua, now known as the Shadow Assassin. As early as a month ago, he had infiltrated the lower classes of the kingdom of Lordaeron. Despite being the most powerful of the Eastern Kingdoms. But after all, this is a feudal dynastic state in the Middle Ages in Europe. Beneath the beautiful surface is the struggle of the people at the bottom, who no one notices.
Party after party is frequented in various sewers, suburbs, and slums. Before you know it, a large group of death-infected half-undead have formed in the shadows of Lordaeron. Once it erupts, it is enough to destroy the order of the entire Lordaeron overnight. The Cult of the Damned has grown to a rather dangerous point.
"I don't understand why we didn't warn the Kingdom of Lordaeron directly? There are too many of them to be completely eliminated by our strength. One of his subordinates asked Joshua in confusion.
"It's not that simple. First of all, it is impossible for you and me to meet the higher-ups of Lordaeron. Secondly, didn't you notice that the humans who joined the Cursed Sect are still living in the crowd? That is, it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye alone. I guess it's only with magicians, or priests. ”
"Then let the Stormwind Kingdom warn them?"
"Hehe, how to warn. Hello, your country now has a large number of cultists, plotting to overthrow your regime. Mobilize your army and destroy them. Don't ask me how I know, Lao Tzu sent a thousand spies to your country. I know you went to the toilet in the middle of the night last night. ”
Nameless subordinate: "...... All right. So what should we do? ”
"Sometimes it's better to let them discover the danger on their own than to tell them directly. This is what the chief said. I thought so, so I ......"
......
After nearly a month in Quelsales, most of the magic that could be used to communicate had been confirmed to each other. Originally, those high elf mages who looked down on human mages also completely changed their views on Lin Xuan and the others. Especially the female disciple who has just begun to develop has received more than one confession, either explicit or covert. The little girl was annoyed and angry in the open, but secretly she was happy, and she was so beautiful all day long that she walked and floated.
Darth Lema teased Lin Xuan more than once.
"This disciple of yours is good, we high elves have a lot of excellent young mages. I think this matter can be considered. Nothing can change a high elf more than an interracial marriage. ”
"He is my disciple, but not my daughter. So she has all the strength to pursue her own happiness. I wouldn't interfere too much with this. ”
"Too much interference? Or will it interfere? Darth Lema was already very familiar with Lin Xuan, and he teased unscrupulously.
“......”
While chatting casually, the two had already passed through the main city of Silver Moon City. Arrived at a special place that was heavily guarded. At the same time, a vast magical power vaguely reverberated here. This is the Well of the Sun.
