Chapter Seventy-Two: Death Knight, Demon Hunter
The Felwood Forest, once a dense forest sheltered by demigods, has now entered its final withering, the iron hooves of the Burning Legion have trampled the land mercilessly, and the unbridled evil and curses have caused the grass to wither, the animals to die with wails, and the green landscape is no longer visible, but only the sparse and dark woodlands and foul-smelling valleys.
And in this ugly forest, a pair of men from different forces met unexpectedly.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions, Mr. Night Elf!"
Arthas, the Death Knight, motioned for his undead to stay where they were, then thrust Frostmourn in place, and gestured to the Night Elves in front of him empty-handed.
Illidan? Fury's brows furrowed slightly, to be honest, he wasn't very interested in these bone clubs under the Burning Legion when he was ordered to investigate the situation of the demon forces in the Felwood Forest, but the one leading the other party looked very strong, and he had to be cautious.
"You lackeys of the Burning Legion would have such good intentions, what kind of conspiracy is there?"
Shaking the blade of Aeginos in his hand, the demon hunter glanced at the withered forest around him without missing a trace, and quietly retreated to the back, he was not a lone hero, now that there were many people on the other side, Illidan naturally would not choose to resist, but then Arthas's words made him stop.
"It should be said that the Burning Legion was a 'former lackey', in fact, my boss Lich King and I have decided to break away from the control of the Burning Legion!"
As if he hadn't seen Illidan's defensive movements, Arthas had the shocking news to himself, confident that he would be able to attract the other party.
Really. Listening to this news, the demon action is a meal. The flames of the demon in his eyes fluttered.
"I don't believe it!"
Perhaps because he had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, the Demon Hunter's words were concise and to the point.
And the Death Knight obviously didn't intend to convince the other party right away. His stiff expression didn't change at all, but his voice softened a lot, and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, these days of fighting, you Night Elves should also have discovered that the Burning Legion has been using us as cannon fodder, and restricting our freedom, which I and my race cannot tolerate, I believe that any intelligent creature can understand this," said Arthas and glanced at Illidan. But seeing that although the other party's eyes were a little moved, but more of them were disapproving, knowing that they couldn't persuade the other party by relying on these fake big voids, so they said directly: "Okay, to tell you the truth, our lair in Lordaeron is being swept by the Terran and High Elves there, which is shaking our foundation, so we must go back, but the Burning Legion does not agree." They'd rather we stay here and help them kill the Night Elves first! ”
Hearing his words, Illidan's face showed a hint of relief, and he had an expression that was indeed so, "I knew that you evil guys have always been selfish. What is not good will never be done! ”
Combined with some of the information he had obtained, Illidan still roughly believed Arthas's words, although he belonged to the same camp. But the Scourge and the Burning Legion are still a little different, as the other side said. The Burning Legion's roots are warping the Void, while the Scourge is in Azeroth itself. This difference in principle is destined to have a conflict of interest between the two sides in a certain aspect, so it is not difficult to understand that these bones and sticks want to fight against water.
"So, what do you want us to do? It's impossible for us to send troops directly to help you, and we can't trust you! Illidan asked directly, if his brother Malfurion or Tyrande were here, he might also consider whether letting the Scourge Legion leave would have any bad effects and bring harm to Lordaeron's continent, but Illidan with Tyrande as the center would not consider these at all, for him, as long as these undead no longer interfered with him to kill demons and protect Tyrande, then the remaining Qiē had nothing to do with him.
Hearing Illidan's question, the light in Arthas's eyes lit up, and he said, "No, there's no need to be so troublesome, just ask Your Excellency to kill the people installed by the Burning Legion to spy on us, and we'll deal with the rest ourselves!" ”
His gaze swept over the demon hunter, then his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said casually: "I see that Your Excellency also has those demonic powers, and it just so happens that I know that a message may be useful to Your Excellency, so I will give it to Your Excellency for free as a thank you gift!" Now in the forest of Felwood, a group of demons are entrenched there to corrupt the entire forest with an artifact, and I believe that your Excellency will definitely become even more powerful when you get that artifact, and then-"
??????
Half an hour later, deep in the forest of Felwood, Illidan stood on a dead tree with two Aesinoth blades in his hand, his eyes quietly looking at the demon in the distance who was forming a circle in front of a certain skull and performing a dark ritual, but his mouth was whispering softly, "Death Knight, don't think I don't know what you're paying attention to, it's just like provoking me and the Burning Legion to lose both, if you move this thing, I'm afraid if I don't look for them, they will come to me too!" ”
But then there was a hint of wavering on his face, and a hint of intoxication flashed in his eyes as he looked at the powerful dark power emanating from the skull.
"What a powerful force! I might be stronger when I get it, so will Tyrande look at me differently? ”
The scene of Malones dying at the hands of Hell Roar was recalled in the Demon Hunter's mind again, and with a slight gritting of his teeth, Illidan seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was persuading himself, "For this power, every qiē is worth it!" This time, let's take advantage of the Death Knight! ”
The wavering expression vanished, and Illidan, who had taken his attention, leaped from the tree, holding the Aeginoth Blade, and rushed towards the demons.
On the other side, on the other side of the Felwood Forest, the army of the undead was silently moving, and Anastarian, who had turned into the undead, led his army to slowly retreat into the distance. However, it hesitated and walked over to Arthas, who was standing on a high place, silently watching the army. He asked in a low voice, "Master, will it be too early to act?" The elf may not do what is agreed. ”
Arthas, on the other hand, shook his head, "He went back and did it." From the first time I saw him, I knew that he was the same person as me, a man who would go to great lengths in his quest for power, so I was sure that he would not be able to resist the temptation of Guldan's skull, and then we would just have to watch him slaughter the demon Tikdios! ”
At this point, the Death Knight stopped talking, staring at the army of the undead under his command, not knowing what to think.
Anastarian, on the other hand, took a step back, but a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Seeking power? So what do you want? My son Kael'thas ? ”
Muttering softly, the former king of Quel'Salas looked bewildered.
At the same time, a room on the continent of Lordaeron was a different scene.
Under the moonlight at night, on the spacious big bed, three naked bodies were entangled together, Mo Wen pressed Bridget under his back, stretched out his hand to knead the two plump flesh bullets continuously, and worked hard, but his mouth teased: "General Abydis." I'm sure now that your body was pure until 'just now', and it wasn't tainted by any demonic power! ”
Holding the quilt on the side, Partris, who half-covered her delicate body, giggled when she heard this. The fair-skinned face was flushed, but Bridget was angry and ashamed, while forcibly suppressing the strange sensations in her body. While scolding at Mo Wen, "Kael'thas." You bastard, I've really, really been bewitched by the devil. I'm going to come to you to check if I'm still under the influence of demonic powers, and Priest Partris, you're in cahoots with him! ”
In the face of the ironclad facts, although the current crusaders are no longer the blind fanaticism of the past, they have begun to doubt themselves again, and many crusaders have begun to doubt themselves again, and many crusaders have begun to have doubts about what they have done, and they don't know if they have received demonic bewitchment, and the strictest of them is nothing more than hearing it. The voice of the Holy Light's Bridge was special, the young general was once a staunch believer in the Light, and had always believed that the Light would protect her, but after experiencing the demonic incident, she was unprecedentedly unconfident, and she was not even sure if she was still under the influence of demonic power. Therefore, after some apprehension, the general could only carry the others behind his back and find Mo Wen, who had been able to find the demon before, hoping that he could help him check it. Of course, this general was not stupid, and it was impossible for him to be alone with Mo Wen so late, so he took Pastor Partris, who he saw nearby, with him.
The result can be imagined, originally Paltris was with Mo Wen, otherwise she would not have appeared near Mo Wen's room at this time, the poor general was coaxed by the two of them, and was caught by Mo Wen in a daze, and when she came to her senses, it was too late.
Listening to Bridget's complaints, Mo Wen and Partris pouted, no one paid attention to her, after a series of in-depth exchanges just now, both of them somewhat figured out the 'arrogant heart' that Bridget hid under the strong appearance, perhaps because of the influence of serving as the general of the Scarlet Crusader at a young age, Bridget, who was quite brave and resolute in front of people, was very immature in private, quite childish. For example, now, I obviously enjoy Mowen's service, but I don't forgive people at all.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Bridget was bored with herself, and stopped talking, gritting her teeth while silently enduring the impact of Mo Wen, and after a while, she suddenly sighed.
"I didn't expect Lord Mograine to die at the hands of Renault, and Darien cried very sadly!"
Mo Wen's movements paused slightly, and then he said casually: "In the Scarlet Monastery today, hasn't Renault already admitted a qiē?" What else is there to say! ”
"I wonder if Renault was also under the influence of the devil, otherwise, how could he-" Brigitte stopped talking, because she also understood that Renault had killed his father, Alexandros, for whatever reason. Mograine is an indisputable fact, the higher-ups of the Scarlet Crusade will never tolerate this kind of behavior, exhaling softly, Bridget asked Mo Wen who was pressing on her back, "Renault and Sally have been locked up by your Blood Elves, what are you going to do with them?" ”
A bright light flashed in Mo Wen's eyes, and then he smiled lightly: "Interrogate, see if they can get the clue of the last Dread Demon King, after that," Mo Wen hesitated for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "-I will execute them, no matter what, killing a father is an intolerable thing, the fall of the Ash Messenger, Renault?" Mograine and Sally? Whitemane has an unshirkable responsibility, and if we don't kill them, we'll probably never be able to awaken the soul of Lord Mograine, who has now become the High Lord of the Death Knight in Xramas! Of course, considering the current situation of your Scarlet Crusade and the feelings of your superiors, this execution will not be made public, but will be carried out in secret! ”
"That's it!" Bridget sighed slightly, she is also a descendant of the high-ranking of the Scarlet Crusaders, and her personal relationship with Renault is not bad, so she also feels a little sorry for what happened to the other party, but Renault's crime is too big, and she can't say anything more, so she immediately had to put these things behind, no, maybe Mo Wen's sudden accelerated movements made her unable to think about these anymore.
A moment later, dark clouds shrouded the moonlit sky, and in the room, the blood-colored general Brigitte? Suddenly, General Abydis let out a series of seductive screams, which could be heard far away in the night. (To be continued......)
