Chapter 628: The Hesitant Tyranus
Karel has always walked the path of darkness.
What is here is not only the use of the power of darkness, but also his three views and style.
Those who are in tune with the forces of darkness must have a dark-oriented perception of things and a way of doing things.
Including Kane, there is also a side of disregard for life, which can become a contractor of the dark force.
It's a cause-and-effect relationship. You must have this trait before you have a chance to become a contractor.
Illidan Fury of the world of Azeroth is also an example. He had a love of his own, and he loved not only Tyrande, but also his subordinates and people. For this reason, he can do evil things ruthlessly, sacrifice a small part to save most of the people, can bear notoriety, and even turn himself into an ugly demon......
His demonic nature is the reason why he can deeply grasp the evil energy (here refers to the confrontation and conquest by will, and the technical content is relatively low), and Guldan's head is just a medium.
And the other character, Uther, whether it is hypocrisy, cherishing feathers, or really greatness, in short, it is difficult for him to be friendly with the forces of darkness, and no matter how good the opportunity is given to him, he will not be able to get together.
From this point of view, Kane, Illidan, and Karel are actually one faction, but they have different information, technology, strength, and focus, and they also have different personalities and habits.
Karel is undoubtedly the one in a worse situation, and it is difficult to say which is worse than Illidan, who has been in prison for 10,000 years.
But now, Karel has earned a chance to turn around.
He finally chose a path to run to the black.
Well, Kane thought that with the slickness he had shown before, he would half-please consult him for advice before making a choice. Unexpectedly, on key issues, Karel was quite assertive and decisive.
At the same time, Kane's team has also been able to confirm the authenticity of the main information sold by Karel.
In fact, after Karel's point, Kane understood almost instantly, quickly associated the relevant information, and made a positive judgment.
But he still asked people to confirm it.
Since the night attack on Beiliu Fort, the focus of the shadow has shifted to this area. In Kane's words, "There must be a nest, dig three feet into the ground and find it for me." ”
It can be said that even without Karel's whistleblowing, it is impossible for the Tyranus Department to keep its secrets for long. Especially now that Fenris Island has also been conquered, it is believed that it will not take long to discover the underground military tunnel.
So why did Kane even buy Karel's account?
The main thing to buy is time.
Karel wasn't intimidated by what he had said to the madman earlier, he was really racing against time, and if he missed time, he missed the chance to save him.
The main force of Terranus and his Scourge retreated to Fenris Island after the night battle at Northstream.
This operation made the shadow who was secretly watching in vain.
Originally, Kane was thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to find out the location of his lair after showing weakness.
However, Tyranus was not stupid, knowing that there was likely to be a prying eye in the shadows. Therefore, he chose to withdraw to Fenris Island, and then transferred the main force from Bingdao to Ping'an Town, and transferred part of the troops on Ping'an Town to form a defender.
And when the Clover Guild Warband broke through and invaded Fenris Island, Tyranus naturally realized that it was a matter of time before it was exposed.
This also means that the plan for the sewer raid on the royal city of Lordaeron is about to be scrapped. Once the military route is discovered, and the coalition forces are prepared, the effect of the surprise attack will be lost, and it may even be blocked in the military corridor and sewer system.
There is no doubt that this is a time to test decisiveness. If it were Karel, he would immediately give an order to forcibly carry out the sewer raid plan, you fight yours, I will fight mine, you will demolish Fenris Island, I will demolish the royal city of Lordaeron, and see who has the most losses.
It's a pity that Tyranus is not Carel. Not long ago, the loss of troops in Beiliu Fort made him a little unconfident, especially when he was severely reprimanded by the Lich King, he was even more cautious in his actions.
After learning that Fenris Island had been raided, he didn't immediately think that the sewer raid plan was about to go bankrupt, but instead thought about whether he could hold Fenris Island.
After all, it was a lightly armed army that was attacking the city, and the number was only more than 2,000, while his side had several thousand, as well as advantages such as city defense and terrain familiarity.
Until the fanatics led the magic cannon bombardment, the defenders could not effectively gather their combat strength, and the air combat unit's operation to destroy the magic array behind the enemy quickly failed. It was only then that Tyranus realized that Fenris Island could not be defended.
Tyranus was miserable, his troops, another shameful defeat. And whether to be defeated at the hands of a group of mortals who were not known before, or to be beaten more with less!
He also wants to be embarrassed, and was scolded by the Lich King not long ago.
After struggling for a long time, he contacted the Lich King and played the trick of asking for instructions.
However, in order not to expose the lair, contacting the Lich King from Taiping Town is not an instant messaging.
Just three delays, two delays, precious time passed.
In the royal city of Lordaeron, there are shadows, but like the practice of the royal palace, they are more low-key and not so unscrupulous.
These ghostly agents usually have their own system, but now it is an emergency, and the first thing to notify is the various Holy Light churches in the city.
Through their network of faithful friends, the church has rallied the faithful to take action. At the same time, the Shadows also approached the sewer manager and obtained conclusive information.
In fact, many of the bottom layers are kept in the dark, and when the sewer system is not properly used as a military channel, it is just necessary to keep it under control and then operate normally. Many people also praised the relevant people for their success in this area in recent years.
It is the administrators who are really corrupted, such as the leaders who take the keys to the fence gates, and even the nobles with official positions at the top.
At the critical moment, as long as these people disrupt the daily duty system on the grounds of temporary adjustments, the sewer system will be unmanned for at least 20 hours, enough for the raiders to be in place.
Now these leaders, and even the officials, are secretly controlled, and the next thing is just to wait for the Kingdom of Lundan to deal with it.
When the news from Kane reached Terenus, Terenus was shocked into a cold sweat and immediately dispatched the palace guards to blockade the people.
Now, the movement is relatively large.
What's even more embarrassing is that there are also those in the palace guards who have been bought, and they actually secretly pass on the news, and even staged a fake pursuit, but in fact, they let them run away.
The phantoms couldn't continue to observe secretly, so they rushed out and quickly and neatly solved the problem, but in the end they still pushed it to the Catholics of the Holy Light Church, so it was the enthusiastic people of Lordaeron who captured the traitor, so at least it saved some face for the Lordaeron Kingdom.
In this eventful season, the morale of the Lordaeron Kingdom should be drummed and not discharged, and at this time, singing or engaging in official humiliation will only make people's hearts collapse.
How do you say that? As soon as the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult for the team to lead.
Compared to the troubled people in Lordaeron Royal City, Taiping Town is simple. Agent Shadow is a qualified special force in his own right, and when he comes to a team-level assault invasion, his true face will naturally be tried.
As a result, Terranus was once again embarrassed, and the camouflage system it arranged on the surface was almost completely swept away by less than 10 phantoms, and when the combat strength of the underground part was rapidly destroyed, the main passage that was blown up was quickly destroyed, and rushed to the surface, and there were not many facilities and personnel left on the surface.
At the same time, the Lich King's order came down, telling Tyranus to immediately launch a sewer raid.
However, in less than half an hour, Tyranus's mind became stronger.
He thinks that my lair has been discovered, and the façade has been destroyed so badly in one go, can the defense force on Lordaeron's side be worse than here?
Even if my troops start to move now, it will be three hours before they move from the underground tunnels to the ground, and then there may be some kind of deep pit waiting for me.
Sewer raid plan, play is to attack it unprepared.
No matter how spacious it is, it is also a sewer, and the abomination can only go in a single row, and you have to turn sideways to pass through the opposite side, so tight and narrow, the troops are scattered, and the numerical advantage cannot be brought into play at all, and even, as long as the entrance of the copper puppet is blocked, my soldiers will not be able to rush out in a hurry.
In this case, the Lich King still wants me to attack, which is really inappropriate for someone else's hard work......
With such a calculation, where is Terranus willing to smash the troops he has worked so hard to build?
He said in his heart: "With such a force, I will not worry about building a foundation wherever I go." Without them, I will lose one after another, seriously damaging the prestige of the Scourge, and the Lich King will reuse me, I'm afraid that the end of the Saron Mine will be to the death, right?"
After some hesitation, Terranus finally made up his mind, opened a treasure chest, and fastened the smoky red helmet wrapped in silk to his head.
After a few moments, Terranus began to hesitate, as if he were having an epileptic seizure, and he fell down in embarrassment, and continued to pump, looking very painful.
After about a few minutes, the convulsions gradually stopped, and Tyranus sat up gasping for breath, and when he looked at his eyes again, the original blue light of ice chips had been replaced by bright red.
This helmet was not a treasure that had been formed when it was seen, but an ancient holy weapon that had been damaged by age and had lost its energy.
There are a lot of artifacts and holy artifacts like this in Azeroth. Medivan, who was taken away by Sagrasas, had instructed the merchants to help him collect it, and there was no shortage of kings and nobles from all over the world who were interested in it, as well as wizards and mages, but even so, Kane was still able to collect a lot of magical substances through various channels, extracting magical substances and condensing them into little fingers, which shows how widespread such objects are.
Just like in ancient times, animal gods were easy to be born, and the enrichment of Azeroth's magical substance not only gave birth to star gods, but also affected other life, and its overall tendency was a process of gradual dilution and diffusion similar to heat death, while artifacts and holy weapons were relatively enriched with this kind of substance, and because of the constraints of extraordinary power and the power of faith, it slowed down its normal diffusion process, so as to survive to this day.
Therefore, most of these objects are ancient objects, and few people have been able to create them in this era.
Just because there are few doesn't mean there aren't.
The Lich King's Ice Crown is a quasi-artifact created by the Burning Legion's Eredar craftsmen, and the Lich King himself has mastered this technology, and the famous 'Frost Sorrow' is not low at all.
Like the once favored Tyranus, he also knows a little, he guards the Saron Pit, and the technicians of the Scourge Legion are using the smelted Saron Evil Iron to create, he casually glances at it, after a long time, he at least knows a rough process.
There is an extraordinary power under Tirisfar, which indirectly contributed to Tyranus, allowing him to quickly build a powerful army of natural disasters.
So, did Terranus think about it for himself?
Of course. The biggest characteristic of the villain camp is selfishness. How is it possible not to think about yourself?
This forbidden helmet was prepared by Tyranus for himself to isolate the Lich King's mental control.
The Lich King's most powerful method is to control the consciousness of his subordinates through the soul contract.
Rather than becoming a puppet outright, the Lich King prefers to use this ability to punish his target. Make the target feel like life is worse than death.
This punishment has sequelae, and it takes a long time for the recipient to recover, and it can make people become demented and crazy, so the Lich King is not often used.
Tyranus had always feared that this punishment would befall him, and he would lose his sanity and self. This fear was present when he was at his most favored, because the Lich King was too mysterious to him, and he had always found the other party elusive.
So when he had the opportunity, he made the Demon Forbidden Helmet in case of emergency. He really didn't intend to betray the Lich King, his fear of the Lich King was deep in his bones, all he wanted was to give himself a chance to make meritorious deeds, he felt that his combat power should not be wasted in a battle with no chance of winning in the sewer raid, there must be a more suitable goal. And as long as he performs well enough, he can make up for it.
However, this time he was not given a chance, it was not the Lich King, but one of his Death Knights, a non-descendant Death Knight who seemed to him capable but slippery to the camp, which he disliked and threw to Fenris Island not long ago.
