At the end of the bottomless narrow tunnel, there is a vast hall that has been hollowed out and hollowed out around it, and there are hundreds of square meters.

A bloody battle in silence is in full swing in this unknown underground.

Rorschach, who lowered his head and walked in, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the figures of the two sides fighting with the natural blue light on the ice revenant's body.

There is no silver swords interlaced with metal swords, but with limbs and feet to cut out a sword light and sword shadow, there is no steel shield, with a body of time precipitated insect shells savagely collided, the miserable green blood is like splashing ink, like a video of natural natural selection that is expanded by a thousand times with special stunts. Two torrents of giant insects collided against each other, repeatedly severing the unrival enemy, slashing in silence and perishing in silence.

Are these monsters infighting?

Before Rorschach could come up with a reason, the rear team saw that there was no ambush ahead, and they couldn't wait to rush in, and after seeing this tragic scene, they turned their attention to another place that he had overlooked.

"Captain Falik!" Thassarian's voice of surprise rang out, and then echoed through the closed passageway.

At the end of his line of sight, behind the battle between the two insects, countless wounded men in Lordaeron armor snuggled together, barely holding their swords to form a weak line of defense, and among them was a rugged and strong man, who heard the familiar cries in this hellish abyss, and his face was visibly stunned.

Seeing his superior, Sassarian instinctively wanted to rush forward, but he only felt that his back sank and his body was heavy, and when he looked back, he found that he was pulled by the dark-haired beauty who was silent along the way, while the mysterious mage on the other side shook his head, signaled him to calm down, and whispered: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Of course it's to save people." As the young soldier said this, his heart sank, and then he remembered that although the spellcaster was peaceful and approachable along the way, most of the spells he used were the undead spells of the Scourge, and the blue light cluster that used ice spells to destroy the spider demon along the way was faintly similar to the necromancy.

Are you going to turn your face? With this in mind, the soldier subconsciously touched his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Rorschach didn't think so much, pointed to the insects who were indifferent to the intruding team and were still immersed in killing, and teased: "The reason why your companions survived is nothing more than that these insects are busy fighting among themselves, if you break in rashly, even if most of the knowledge of my biology class is returned to the teacher, and I know that nature has the phenomenon of killing foreign enemies, I am not sure that I can save your lives in the hands of so many monsters." ”

"So what to do?" Thassarian asked, looking down in shame.

Rorschach did not answer, but stared carefully at the chaotic battlefield, thought for a moment, but made a move that stunned the team—he instructed his maiden servants, bowed their waists and felt a thousand along the gap between the two sides, ventured close to pick up some of the remains of the insects, and then handed them to himself, and began to carefully sift through the comparisons like archaeologists.

After a while, Rorschach, who knew what was in his heart, casually threw away the newly decomposed corpse parts in his hand, and suddenly shouted at the battlefield: "The one who fights ahead, but the remnants of Eldraine?" ”

How can bugs understand human speech...... Around Azeroth, where the intelligent race is full of flowers, the soldiers present also felt that this mage had gone crazy because of too much pressure.

However, to their surprise, among the insects who were originally fighting silently, suddenly a spider demon that was obviously one size bigger lifted its hooves like a colt, jumped down with its center of gravity and cut the enemy in two, and then turned its head to make a "silky" sound, and then replied loudly in a strange but clear lingua franca:

"Eldraine never perished, so what the remnants say? Mortals, we follow the name of 'Anubrekan', the guardian of Nebru, who has come to kill the rebels, and if you have the heart, we can give you the glory of being the enemy with us! ”

The soldiers present looked at each other, and they all focused their eyes on Rorschach, he was the most powerful among the present, and he was the only one who could communicate with the other party, and now it was only up to him to judge him.

Rorschach's answer was simple, he took a step forward and waved his hand: "On the one of us, those who have stinking and rotten bodies, are the undead who have been resurrected by the Lich King, and are also our current common enemies. ”

With that, he wielded the pine staff, unleashing a state curse built by negative energy, and the ice revenant behind him began to bloom with a blue brilliance, drawing magic power to release the "Frost Nova" towards the necromantic worm. Although the soldiers on the side were a little dazed, they could also see from the form of Fang Cai that the living insects had fallen behind, and if they were allowed to die and be resurrected as undead, their own side would definitely not be able to stop the next tide of death, and they gritted their teeth and joined the battle.

The originally cold and crazy Crypt Demon, its carapace as hard as iron was meaningless under the ice explosion spell from the inside out and the sword that specialized in slashing joints, and the originally sharp and swift foot knife was as slow as a turtle crawling after being hit by the curse of slowness, and as for the numerical advantage it originally possessed, it was also lost in front of the hundreds of Lordaeron warriors who rushed up together from both sides inside and outside.

The battle was soon over.

Because most of the firepower was borne by those spider demons who claimed to be the guardians of Nibru, the losses of the human soldiers were not much, and the survivors of the living spider demons were very few, but they did not seem to have the intention of grieving their injuries, and briefly dealt with their own injuries, and then pierced through the corpses that might be resurrected with their sharp claws, before turning to face the human allies who were looking at them vigilantly.

"Mortals, we should talk about ......," said the scarred, haughty and indifferent leader of the insects.

"What are you talking about?" Rorschach asked with a smile.

For example...... Why are these rebels planning to constantly destroy the leyline branches to deal with you and others? ”

A unique exchange began.

……

On the way to the surface, Rorschach naturally knew the origin of this insect group:

They were indeed the remnants of the Lich King's defeat of the Nebrus, but they were only a scattered detachment. Even if most of the members are killed and resurrected into zombies, as long as the "Anubrekan" equivalent to the queen ant does not die, or even a single soldier left, the entire group will not lead to the decline of the spontaneous surname, but will revive over time.

However, although the defeated army has to silently accumulate strength in the shadows, they are not StarCraft fellow Zerg after all, and they also know that due to the limit of fecundity and the time required for larvae to grow, their own side will not be able to catch up with the Lich King who kills one person and increases the number of soldiers. Therefore, they are determined to rely on the underground advantage of coming and going freely, and eat away at the erosion plan of the Lich King from all aspects, and play a role similar to that of guerrillas.

It is a pity that not all the troops who dare to fight guerrilla warfare can counterattack the world like a certain Taizu's hundreds of troops, and create a red hegemony. According to Rorschach's known "history", the unyielding activities of this part of the remaining Zerg finally angered the Lich King completely, and after the king who successfully possessed Arthas, he immediately contacted the former Zerg general "Anubrak" to kill the last Spider Demon Emperor, and resurrected him as a guardian of his fortress, ordering him to fight for him forever.

History, with the intervention of Rorschach, has undergone a slight skew.

If he hadn't helped the expeditionary force break through the city in advance, wait another three to four days, and the Black Witch's plot to lure the king into the urn would have succeeded, and the insect stragglers who destroyed the underground project had already been wiped out, and even resurrected as undead to increase the power of the natural disaster, at that time, Arthas was faced with a tragic situation in which a large number of his own troops fell into the ground, and the opposite side was a vast army of crypt demons, and had to flee in embarrassment.

"The strength of these seven or eight spider demons is equivalent to a small squad of infantry, even if they survive and join Arthas's expeditionary force, it is still a world difference compared to the Lich King, and it shouldn't have any effect, right?" When he followed the passage led by the insect man in front of him to the surface, Rorschach didn't think of this, but after silently estimating, he felt that there was no big problem, but for some reason, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and seemed to ignore something important.

Just after they ended the strife in the ground, the war on the surface was coming to an end.

At a disadvantage, it is the Crypt Spider Demon that collapses halfway.

This is not surprising, the reason why the underground battle is declining is not because the strength of human soldiers is really much worse than that of spider demons, but just the result of various factors. After all, there is no one warrior who is good at blind fighting in the dark, and the encounter of falling from a height, whether it is ** or spirit, it is impossible to be in an intact state, and it is enough to choke in the face of low-level goblin kobolds under such harsh conditions, not to mention the insect people who drill the ground all year round?

And the warriors on the ground were undoubtedly much luckier, even if they were taken aback by the monster that suddenly popped up, they immediately reacted and spontaneously formed several positions, resisting by the rising firelight around them. After all, the insect people were dispatched in a hurry, and a considerable part of them were contained underground by the guardians, and the number was seriously insufficient, as for the other skeletons and necromancers around them, they had already died, and without the cooperation of other undead, they could not form a corresponding undead army formation.

What ended the battle was a flame of light.

Before the giant crypt lord who wielded a foot knife and slaughtered dozens of expeditionary soldiers could dodge, he was hit by the meteor that fell from the sky, and the stubborn carapace collapsed before it could support it for even a second, and then, the huge insect body three or four meters high burst into large pieces of minced flesh with a fierce "bang", and the stinky corpse was burned to ashes by the attached holy light before it fell to the ground.

And in a cobweb-like crack on the surface where the giant insect was located, a silver-white light jumped out of thin air, turning into a half-human-high two-handed hammer in mid-air, speeding towards it with a streamer, and finally being held by a powerful palm.

The exhausted prince walked out of the half-collapsed domed church, his other hand holding a half-cut skull, but the blue eyes in it were extinguished, and they had been completely reduced to useless bones and trophies.

"The Lich has been crowned, and we have won tonight!"

It was the first thing he had said since his raid tonight. The soldiers present were silent for a moment, and then a burst of cheers erupted, and the cries of the heat wave frenzy thundered, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of the red fanaticism, and a will to unite rose as one.

At this moment, an untimely cold voice sounded.

"Mortal, what you have slain is nothing more than a lowly worm under the command of the Lich King, and the true dark power of the enemy is far from coming."

Arthas raised his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the figure in the distance. On the side, there was a sound of "bang" pulling out the blade, and the human soldiers who had been in battle for a long time spontaneously formed a group, waiting for the insect shadows to come, silently waiting for the prince's command to attack, but the next second, they suddenly let out a surprised and stunned sound.

"Captain Thassarian......?"

"That's ...... Allan? But...... How could it be that I saw him fall from that damn abyss with my own eyes! ”

Arthas looked farther away, ignoring the incoming ranks of soldiers and bugmen, but focusing on a mysterious woman in the background, and the figure under one of the robes she was protecting. After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to meet him.

There are still some doubts, but there are some things...... It's always good to confirm in person.

The way to confirm this is......

Smash it down!

I saw that under the burning red light, the paladin suddenly pressed down the war hammer in his hand, and moved slowly carelessly, but at the moment when the white hammer body fell, a "bang" air explosion burst out of thin air, and the scattered air waves were forced to ripple layer upon layer, allowing the white smooth like a meteor to fall.

"Click-click-click-"

With the first echo, the long-handled two-handed hammer burning with holy light blocked the sword that the black-haired beauty stabbed out in an instant, and continued with an indestructible force.

The second sound came from the ice soul that sacrificed itself, the frozen armor shrouded in its whole body was collapsed by a hammer, and directly "clicked" a large area of cracks, and the surging ice magic power shrank violently, and it only had time to howl before it was pressed down by the vast and endless holy light, and disappeared without a trace.

However, this momentary sluggishness made Rorschach's hair stand on end, and he instinctively summoned the possession of the spirit in his heart, and the combat experience derived from the Hundred Battles Heroic Spirit immediately took over his body, and he made a series of response actions in the blink of an eye. Suddenly drew out the sword, the figure bent backwards, and took off with a backhand sword to block upwards, and the hammer swords intersected, and the sound of "Qiang Qiang" continued like a sea tide.

Rorschach suddenly heard a "huh" sound in his ears, and he had no choice but to bear the falling hammer head-on, but he felt that what was ushered in was just a latent force, and then thousands of milky white warm currents poured into his body, making his body retreat uncontrollably. But with each step back, an aura of silver flames rose around his body, and when he reached the seventh step, a terrible and gloomy roar suddenly sounded on his bandaged shoulder, and he saw a pale green wolf-like phantom popping out of it, struggling to pounce on him, but in the blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes by the scorching holy light.

It was only at this time that Rorschach knew that he had fallen into a plot unconsciously, and reluctantly stood up with his sword, looked down at the body that was slowly healing under the spread of the holy flames, and then looked at the prince who was standing tall and upright, and said in a low voice with difficulty:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Arthas glanced at him with a little surprise, nodded and suddenly asked, "What swordsmanship did you use just now...... Who taught you? ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

ps：

The Elice Spider Demon who fled to Northrend was part of the "culture" and "learning" of the middle and upper classes of the Angela Zerg, in other words, a group of poets, intellectuals, and artists who could not bear to be the leader of the war-mad people.

Compared to the murderous maniacs trapped in Kalimdor, this splinter old pedant surname is innocent and cute, the real sense of the word "home" for thousands of years, the ability to read the world, the wisdom of the entire race is addicted to "poetry", "songs" and other miscellaneous arts, even the arcane abandon rejection, and when encountering unavoidable battles, they all rely on the unintelligent miscellaneous soldiers at the bottom to rush up and eat with their talents.

It's an otherworldly copy of the "Southern Song Dynasty...... It's no wonder that he was directly overturned by an unreasonable villain like the Lich King.

It is said that in the World of Warcraft map, the lower kingdom of Nebru, and some sick spiders who wander around the spider slabs all day long, risk being slaughtered by natural disasters, just to collect the lost complete collection of art and poetry......

Although it does not necessarily refer to Chinese history, I think that when Blizzard set this race, it may have considered the similar encounter of ancient Greece with Athens?

In the end, ask for collection and recommendation, the new book period is only thirty days, and the past is gone......

Sorrow and sorrow
