Chapter 62: The Gambling Contract
"Attacking Quel'Salas was not a wise decision, Lord Akmund!"
Alone, carrying a blue-purple greatsword, Mo Wen appeared in front of Akmund, countless demons were ready to move less than a hundred meters away, but they didn't put any pressure on him at all.
"Kael'thas ? The Sunchaser? Akmund looked back at Arthas, and received an affirmative answer from the latter's somewhat ugly face, before turning his head back, looking Mo Wen up and down, and said playfully, "What are you doing here, do you want to kill me?" Or is it revenge for the ruins over there? ”
The former Dalaran was now completely destroyed, and countless demons and undead hovered in the ruins, looking like the lair of the dark forces from afar.
Listening to the boss's ridicule, the demons behind Akmund cooperated with a burst of strange screams, the strange smell of sulfur and evil energy in the sky stirred up half of the sky with black smoke and miasma, looking from a distance, it was like the dark world before the rainstorm, and in this darkness, some demons still had red light in their eyes, looking at Mo Wen eager to try, just waiting for Akmund to give an order, he tore the elf in front of him to pieces.
It's just that this qiē is not in Mo Wen's eyes, with his current strength, he can't beat Akmund, but it is still very easy to escape, and the remaining miscellaneous fish, no matter how many they are, they can't stop him.
"I'm here to give His Excellency Akmund a plan, how about you take these demons under your command to another continent?"
Unhurriedly, Mo Wen said the purpose of the trip.
Originally, at this time in history, Silvermoon City had been destroyed by the Scourge Legion, so Akmund and his Burning Legion ploughed the remnants of the alliance of Zài Lordaren aside, and then drove to the continent of Kalimdor across the sea. Hunt down the orcs who are out of their grasp, and now have the enemy of Quel'Thalas. The Burning Legion didn't expect to leave so simply, which didn't fit Mo Wen's plan. That's why he came to Akmund alone.
"Huh? - Haha! Akmund was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly burst out laughing, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Mo Wen mockingly, "Why should I go to another continent, my legion and I feel that there are some things here that are even more worthy of destruction, such as you and your High Elves!" ”
In line with Akmund's tone, the demon army behind it let out a wave of screams, and all kinds of foul language came directly towards Mo Wen. The smell of blood is high.
"We're called Blood Elves now!" After correcting Akmund's slip of the tongue, Mo Wen immediately said firmly: "Your Excellency has gone back, because not only are the orcs who betrayed Your Excellency and the Night Elves, your former enemies, there are still what Your Excellency wants!" ”
The arm was raised, and a large amount of magic energy poured out from Mo Wen's body, and then slowly converged into a mirror-like picture.
After living in this world for so many years, Mo Wen has also developed some special magic, and this remote projection technique is one of them.
Akmund, who originally thought that Mo Wen was going to do something, had already lifted the magic power in his body, but only then did he relax when he realized the nature of this magic. Then it casually glanced at the picture, but after this glance, its eyes could not be taken away.
In the picture is a towering tree with lush foliage, and it is so huge. So much so that the purple-skinned creatures with pointed ears that inhabit the trees beneath it look like ants.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is the infinite life force and endless magic contained in that tree. Mo Wen's remote projection technique can only reflect a part of the projected area, but it is only this part of the situation. It made Akmund feel the incomparable attraction.
Since Akmund is known as the Polluter, he naturally has a lot of expertise in corrupting and depraving magic. And what could be more powerful, faster, and easier than the power gained from corrupting a tree of eternal infinite magic?
The eye was deeply attracted by the giant tree. Almost subconsciously, Akmund muttered, "What's that?" ”
A smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of Mo Wen's mouth, "World Tree, Nordahir, some people say that it is a sacred tree planted on the second generation of the Well of Eternity!" ”
"The Well of Eternity?" Hearing the name, Akmund's eyes became even hotter, this was a treasure coveted by its boss, the Bronze Titan Sargeras, but the polluter deserved to be a polluter, and after a final look at the World Tree, it turned to look at Mo Wen and smiled.
"Elven prince, I admit that you have impressed me, I really want that thing, but I don't have to let you go, I can destroy you first and then go to find my treasure little by little!"
Mo Wen shook his head, and the magic power in his hand flowed again, but another picture was projected.
"No, you will, because after you destroyed Quel'Thalas, the great polluter may not have the strength to take your treasures from your former enemies!"
It was a neat red formation, like an ocean, and countless elves gathered in a huge square, sweating profusely and shouting desperately, the frenzy in their eyes almost melting the hardest steel.
Majestic magic reverberated in the air, countless auras circulated on the ground, and the entire square was filled with great power.
In the battle of the undead natural disaster, the melee strength of the high elves was certainly reduced a lot, but after the war, it was replenished thousands of times, and the elves who did not like melee combat and did not want to participate in the battle joined the elven knights who were not worth caring about in the past under the threat of genocide, and with the ranged troops that were already strong and did not lose much, the strength of the entire blood elves at this time was terrifying.
Akmund was silent, the commander of the Burning Legion had destroyed many worlds, it could naturally see at a glance the strength of the legion in the projection, especially the frenzy in its eyes that looked at death as home, it was almost the most unwilling thing to see in all worlds, every time it was the army with this kind of eyes that blocked their footsteps until the last moment, even if it had absolute confidence in its own army, it did not dare to guarantee how much strength its side would have left after defeating this legion.
"Well, I have to say Prince Kael'thas, you have given me another surprise!" Shaking his neck casually, Akmund kept measuring in his heart, but finally took a deep look at Mo Wen, and said leisurely: "I admit that the price to be paid to destroy your blood elves is too great, so big that I have to think about it carefully." But it's impossible for you to let us go with a word, so how about we make a bet? ”
The attraction of the World Tree Nodashir to Akmund was so great that it was able to throw aside Kil'Gardan's plans because of the World Tree, and finally even rushed into the enemy line alone, which shows the importance it attaches to the World Tree. For Akmund, it could now even abandon the entire plan of this Burning Legion invasion for the sake of the tree, and stay in the void for another 10,000 years.
After being coerced and lured by Mo Wen, its desire to attack Quel'Salas at this time had been weakened as never before, but as a brutal and bloodthirsty demon, it still would not let go of any opportunity to defeat the enemy.
"Manolos! Come out! Looking at Mo Wen, Akmund shouted at the demon army behind him, and then saw that among all the demons, a demon with a dragon-like body and a pair of abominable wings collided with the demon blocking it, carrying a double-headed war spear, and came out of the crowd, and with a shock of four hooves, it set off a burst of smoke on the ground, and then looked at it with a cruel smile in the smoke and dust.
Pointing at his number one thug, Akmund looked at Mo Wen and smiled dangerously, "Prince of the Elves, if you can defeat my men, I will accept your mention and continue our battle until I obtain the treasure!" ”
"How? Do you dare to fight my vanguard? (To be continued......)
