While the early morning light shone through the gates of Time X in Talaris, the Wild West on the other side of the planet Azeroth fell into darkness. 【Reading.com】

The sky under the dark clouds was dull and dark, and there was not the slightest light in sight.

Even the moonlight was absent in this dark night, and the earth was covered with nothing but endless darkness.

Even though the Wild West is in full swing with great construction, most people today are in a deep sleep and taking a break.

Only tomorrow, when the sun rises again, will these people who have rested for the night wake up again and plunge into the enthusiasm for the construction of the western wilderness.

Over the past three months, the Wild West has changed dramatically.

Under the leadership of Li Yunfei, the power of the displaced people and commoners was integrated, the oppression of the aristocratic small manor owners was restricted, and the people of the entire western wilderness worked together to transform this once barren land under the leadership of Li Yunfei.

Abandoned fields were reclaimed, exiled criminals were punished, and even the ogre tribes and gnolls entrenched in the forests and mountains were absorbed by Li Yunfei and joined the tide of reform and construction, becoming a member of the Western Wilderness Resistance Army.

It's just that when most people are sleeping and resting, as the leader of the entire western wilderness construction, Li Yunfei did not sleep.

In the dim glow of the oil lamp, he and Vanessa met two of the most powerful thieves in the entire Brotherhood of Defia—both in skill and ability. Thieves who are invincible.

While thieves are a derogatory term, their ability to stealth is unmatched in the entire Wild West - and indeed the entire Eastern Kingdom.

Rebecca, a blood elf girl, and Bakir, a former adjutant of Van Cleef. Sred.

In the past few days, the two men led Li Yunfei's intelligence organization, composed of the Brotherhood's top thieves, to fight against MI7 spies sent by Stormwind to spy on the military in the Western Wilderness, and dismantled several Y plots plotted by MI7.

Now in the dark of the night, where no one knows. The two were called by Li Yunfei again and gave them a special task.

"What's that...... Uncle Sred, you and Rebecca have a look at this map, and then burn it. ”

In the dim light of the oil lamp, half of Li Yunfei's side face was hidden in the shadow of Y, and it seemed that Y Qing was unknown, only the hesitation and hesitation were felt by the three people in the room.

"There's a secret of Stormwind on the map. A secret known only to kings and a handful of magnates......"

Looking at Sred and Rebecca with confused expressions. Li Yunfei said, "As we all know, as the oldest clan in the Alliance, the Night Elves rarely participate in the Alliance's military operations in peacetime, but they control strategic weapons that are unmatched in the entire Azeroth. ”

"Luna Railgun...... Or the Giant Moonfire. ”

Facing the confused gazes of Rebecca and the others, Li Yunfei coughed dryly and said. "The Luna Railgun is what I call it, so it's more in line with its striking power."

"All in all, it's a giant moonfire technique. By praying to the moon god Elune, as well as a large Advent ritual, summon the power of the moon god to strike specific military targets. ”

"Powerful enough to raze a town in an instant, it's a terrifying weapon of strategic destruction that no amount of magic can match, and all of Azeroth is only held by the Night Elves."

"However, this weapon is not without constraints, that is, the open magic barrier can interfere with the advent ritual, so that the night elves' large-scale advent spells cannot take effect, and naturally they cannot summon the power of the moon god to strike at specific targets."

"After the War of the Ancients. The High Elves were banished by the Night Elves and migrated to the Eternal Song Forest in the Eastern Kingdom, where they planted a powerful magical barrier. That magical enchantment can not only shield the outside world from the perception of arcane energy, but also interfere with the large-scale advent of the dark elves, which can be regarded as an autonomous defense system. ”

"Later, when the High Elves allied with the Ancient Kingdom of Humans to defeat the trolls, they also taught humans this defense when they taught humans magic."

"Of course, what they teach can't compare to the powerful magical enchantment of the Eternal Song Forest. But it was enough to disable the Luna Railgun within the enchantment range, which was a means used by the High Elves to counterbalance the Night Elves. ”

"Since then, every generation of human kingdoms has been established with such defensive barriers in the territory of the country, with the purpose of guarding against military strikes that may come from the sky."

"Of course, because this kind of simplicity of the defensive enchantment does not require too much manpower to defend it, there is generally only a specially selected wall-facing person who guards the switch of the defensive enchantment, and turns the defensive enchantment off or on when needed."

"In most cases, this defensive barrier is open, and the map you are looking at is the map of the location of this defensive barrier switch, that is, the location of the wall-facing people."

Looking at Rebecca, who had a stunned expression, was stared at Sred, Li Yunfei spread his hands and said very sincerely, "So now your task is to ......"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the babbling blood elf girl, "...... We're on a mission to kill the wall-facing and close the defensive barrier, right? ”

After speaking, she also glanced at Li Yunfei triumphantly, happy, with an expression of "you come to praise me", Li Yunfei was speechless for a while.

"The ......"

Looking at the excited Rebecca, Li Yunfei hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth, "I asked you to go and see the person who faces the wall, and then ...... when needed."

"I know I know, kill him if you need to, and then close the defensive barrier, right?"

Looking at Li Yunfei happily, the blood elf girl's pair of pointed ears trembled and trembled with joy, "Sister Vanessa, I'm right, right?" ”

Li Yunfei was speechless, "You interrupt me again." I'll just throw you out and feed the dogs. ”

Rebecca's expression was stunned, and she laughed wryly, "Okay, okay, you said it, people don't talk about it." Really. What's the matter...... Cheapskate. ”

Li Yunfei rolled his eyes, he was in no mood to elaborate on her trouble.

He sighed, looked at the only serious Sred, and said, "Anyway, your mission this time is to spy on the wall-facing man and kill him if necessary. Prevent him from opening a defensive barrier. ”

"Based on my speculation. The Night Elves may negotiate with Stormwind to open a defensive barrier so that they can strike us with the Luna Railgun. ”

"And your mission is to kill the Wall Facer at that time, destroy the switch to defend the barrier, and make it impossible for the Night Elves to use the Luna Railgun against us for a while."

"After all, the Western Wilds were also the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom before, and they have always been under the protection of its enchantment. As long as the barrier is not broken, we don't have to worry about the Night Elves' large weapons for the time being. ”

"This task is very difficult, I hope you can complete it with good care and make no mistakes."

Standing at the door with Vanessa and watching Rebecca and the two leave, in the dim candlelight in the house, Li Yunfei sighed, looking up at the dark night sky, a little tired.

"I just hope they have a smooth trip."

Vanessa glanced at him, her expression a little complicated, "I think you should worry more about yourself." ”

Li Yunfei was stunned for a moment. It's funny, "What do I have to worry about?" Am I fine? And you don't have to go out on any dangerous mission......"

Vanessa sighed and said, "But you've been doing so much lately. As far as I know, you haven't had a good night's sleep for more than a month, and you're not afraid of getting tired every day? By then you'll be exhausted. Who will lead the fight against Stormwind? ”

Li Yunfei laughed, "Isn't there still you......"

Vanessa, however, just looked at him fixedly, indifferent to the joke.

So Li Yunfei could only restrain the smile on his face, sighed a little complicatedly, and patted her shoulder to show comfort.

"Rest assured, I know my body. It's just that I stayed up late for a while, and I can still hold on. ”

"When my wife just passed away, in order to make up for my daughter's tuition, I worked two jobs during the day and took orders to do odd jobs at night, and I only slept three hours a day to survive, and I couldn't hold on now."

"I'm a little tired now, but I personally think so...... Well, it should be fine. ”

Looking at Vanessa's worried eyes, Li Yunfei smiled, "I'm not so fragile yet, don't look at me with such eyes." ”

When the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared silently in the darkness on the side, kneeling behind the two of them.

"Tell Mr. and Miss Li, there is an urgent war report from the north."

Li Yunfei was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "North...... We didn't have a front in the north, huh? ”

He subconsciously looked at Vanessa beside him, but saw the girl sigh and said, "I know that you have a lot to do with that Mr. Samael, so I sent someone to pay attention to the news from the north." ”

Li Yunfei was a little speechless, "You...... What an event......"

Having said that, he didn't say much, but looked at the intelligence officer and asked, "Say, what's going on in the north?" Did the Lich King retire? ”

If this is the information, it is expected by Li Yunfei.

After all, his warning letter had passed, and it was impossible for Alsace to make the same mistake again.

It's just that in the next second, the words from the spy's mouth made his expression freeze......

"The Knights of the Black Blade attacked the Chapel of Light's Wish on all fronts, and in front of the Chapel they were attacked by Paladin Tirio. Ferdin's defeat. Arthas, the Lich King, suddenly appears and attempts to attack, but is wounded and repelled by Tirio. ”

"Now the Knights of the Ebon have announced that they have left the Scourge and are going to wage a war of revenge against the Lich King who betrayed them. If nothing else, the messengers sent to the Alliance by Stronghold Black Blade are already coming over in the past two days......"

In the darkness, the voice sounded calmly about the turmoil in the north, and there was no emotion of excitement.

After all, for them, whether it is the Lich King in the north or the defeated Paladin Alliance, they are all enemies, and no matter who wins or loses, they don't know how to be happy.

But when Li Yunfei heard these words. As soon as his feet went weak, the whole world spun around in front of his eyes.

"Poof...... Al......"

In the sound of vomiting blood in disbelief, Li Yunfei's eyes went black and he fell down heavily.

At the same time, Arctic Northrend. In the middle of the boundless snowfield, a figure trekking through a blizzard suddenly turned its head, as if hearing something.

"Who's calling me ......"

He frowned and looked in the direction behind him, his eyes full of confusion, "What a familiar voice...... Someone calling my name? ”

In the midst of a raging blizzard, a terrible blizzard obscured everything in the world. People walk in such a blizzard. I can't even see the ground three meters away.

He stood in the snow, and as far as he could see, except for the white expanse, only the terrible north wind whistled in his ears.

Subconsciously, Arthas summoned Walki, who was with him, and summoned the ghost that followed him like a spirit behind him.

"Ann Halde, do you hear the human voice?"

Silently, as beautiful as a battlefield Valkyrie, Waldy opened a pair of white angel wings. Behind Arthas emerged.

In the wind, the icy blizzard pierced through her translucent body, and she could be seen shaking her head.

"Sorry, master, I didn't hear anything."

After a pause, she added, "There are no living creatures within a radius of three thousand meters. Only three hundred meters deep in the ground X under our feet, there are a few spiders from the Spider Kingdom of Edron Bru digging tunnels and thinking, do you need to kill them? ”

Arthas shook his head. rejected the suggestion, "Forget it, leave them alone and let them fend for themselves." Anyway, it won't be long before these spider-men will work for me. ”

With that, he ignored the illusion he had and continued to walk in the blizzard in a tattered black. Every step of the way. All left a deep footprint in the snow.

Anheild's face was filled with hesitation and confusion.

She looked at the back of Arthas's lonely trek, was silent for a while, and finally asked the question that had been held all the way.

"The host ......"

"Huh?"

"You're hurt."

"Of course, being hit by such a powerful power of holy light, no one can escape with their whole body."

"But...... But you wouldn't have been hurt when you could, and I don't understand why you jumped out at the last minute. Obviously, you just have to sit back and watch the Death Knights be slaughtered, why do you still come out to expose your purpose, * all the Death Knights have rebelled......"

Looking at Arthas's silent back, Anhald whispered hesitantly, "Now they may have formed an alliance with the Alliance Tribes and are ready to come to Northrend to seek revenge on you." ”

Arthas's departing footsteps paused and stopped.

"Isn't that bad?"

Glancing at Anheild, Arthas said calmly, "They were a group of homeless dead people, the best warriors of Azeroth in their lifetime, with their own relatives and friends. However, after death, they were enslaved by Naozu, and could only be in the company of the dead bodies of the enemies who killed them. ”

"Although they are still dead, they have been accepted by the living world, and they can return to the world of the living for the time being, see their former friends again, and be able to fight side by side with their former relatives and friends...... Isn't that bad? ”

Anhalde was stunned, "This ...... Is that what you're here to be? ”

Arthas frowned, "Of course not. ”

He looked at the undead in front of him with a look of disgust, "I'm not the parent of those dead people, why should I plan for their future?" It was just an accident in my plan, not something I planned. ”

"My original plan was to use these Death Knights as consumables to drain Tirio's power, and then come out to reap the benefits. It's a pity that the waste group is too useless, not only can it not consume the power of the Silver Hand Knights, but it is easy to be defeated and captured...... Heh, what a bunch of rubbish. ”

After saying this in an indifferent tone, Arthas looked at Anhalde behind him, and suddenly frowned.

"What's that look on your face? Thought I was lying to you? ”

Poor Hua Erqi hurriedly restrained the smile on his face, tensed his face, and shook his head desperately, "No, no, no, I definitely don't doubt the master's words, I completely trust the master." ”

Arthas's brow furrowed even tighter, "You guy...... Forget it, you can think whatever you like, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Turning his head with an indifferent expression, Arthas continued to march into the depths of the northern blizzard, without saying a word.

Behind him, Walkie stuck out her tongue and mustered up the courage to make a grimace at him, before disappearing into thin air.

The wilderness of this far northern snowfield was calm again, and only the sound of the blizzard whirred, bitter and cold. (To be continued~^~)

ps: I found one thing, that is, Li Yunfei has his own comic aura. As long as he appears in the plot, I can't write seriously, and I always write and write...... I can't suppress his funny aura as an author, what the hell
