Volume IV Reign of Chaos 210 Speculators
A long, long time ago, when I was in school, I would work extremely hard because of the teacher's praise and take on things that I could not do at all.
Later I grew up and began to know...... I didn't seem to get much after doing that, except for a word of praise.
Give someone a pat on the back...... It became a ...... for me to continue to do good deeds Impetus. Even if I suffer a loss, I am still willing to do it.
But then I started to support myself, and I found this kind of praise ...... It can't be eaten as a meal. And when the people around me started to look at me with a special smile, a smile, I felt ...... A different feeling.
Give someone a pat on the back...... Of course it still makes me happy, but I'm starting to want more...... Something other than a spiritual reward.
I used to scoff at the use of words like each other, and I used to feel this kind of selfish people and things and thoughts...... Not good!
Well...... Not good...... Excuse me.
But I feel a little tired when I get so little, it's not what I want, this kind of incompatibility makes me a little ...... Tired, tired, and even somewhat hateful.
And then ...... I started ...... Get used to it, then ...... Recognized, and ...... Join, and finally ...... The same.
When Kel'thugad said this, I was honestly surprised. I don't understand why he said that, it's basically saying to Arthas, you're right, my master is your master, you're not my real master, we're all using you.
But Arthas didn't behave as I thought he would, he still stared coldly at the shining head and said calmly, "What do you know? ”
I gently leaned my back against the back of the chair, the scabbard resting on the edge of the chair on my legs, and I felt the position of the grip of the sword as I leaned back on the chair.
"I ...... Not much is known. He said. So there's nothing to tell you, I'm also from the Lich King...... Chess piece, I just complete the task it gave me. ”
"If you dodge my question, I'll kill you." Arthas didn't say it in a harsh tone, but I don't think it's a joke.
"The Lich King...... Only ruled Northrend, but he needed an agent. He said, "And you just happened to be in Northrend." ”
"You're lying to me." He said. "What about the demon named Melganis? Why did he tell me to go to Northrend to find him? ”
"Demons?" The astonishment and confusion expressed by the word Kel'thugad at that time was really appropriate.
"After killing you, I defeated a demon in Stratholm, and he said there was still a large army in Northrend, and he said he would definitely return."
"I don't know about this demon. I was just sent by the Lich King to complete his mission, and I didn't even think of it...... Kill me and you'll come to Northrend. ”
"You mean...... You don't know the demon? Alsace clearly didn't believe it.
"I don't know what the demon told you, so did you go to Northrend and find it?"
"I'll kill him." Alsace said.
"What about you...... It's revenge. Kel'thugad said.
"No, it's not just him who I'm going to take revenge against, it's ...... You! Kel'thugad. ”
My thumb had lifted the sword out of its scabbard with the Sword Pavilion, and at the slightest command from Arthas, I would unceremoniously jump up and slash at the lich's head.
"As you wish." Kel'thugad nodded.
Arthas did not order him to be killed, "Your master...... Who is it? ”
"It's you, Your Majesty." He said.
"You're changing fast enough."
"No, you brought me back to life. You are my master. ”
"But I listened to your master before I went to save you."
"He's just using me." He said.
"And then?"
"He's looking for a surrogate." He said, "You alone are the king of this world." ”
"But you mean I'm still his puppet...... Right? ”
The blue light in Kel'thugad's hood flickered slightly, "so to speak. ”
"Have you seen your master?"
"No ......," he said.
"You're lying again."
"I really haven't seen him before!" Kel'thugad said, the light in his wide robe shining fiercely. "When I first went to see him...... I didn't see him in real terms. ”
"Can he still control you?" Arthas asked.
"I just hope to get more power from him." "But now I've got it," Kel'thugad said. He looked at Arthas, "You have given it to me." ”
Arthas snorted, but seeing him twist his face back to the table meant he forgave him.
I was tired from the dinner that night, I wasn't tired, I said them, and the Barov family didn't know if they would regret their participation in such an organization.
That evening, with Duke Barov and Jandis, we visited the castle beneath the castle. I also fully appreciated what this place was like and how terrifying it was.
It was indeed abandoned by the time we arrived. At least the experimental site inside has been out of use for a long time, the blood stains on it have coagulated, the liquid in the flask has dried up, there are no corpses in it, no test specimens, and no research results.
During the visit, Alsace listened carefully to Kel'thugad's report, and for Selling, who used to work as a researcher here, the memory of this place may not be so pleasant. He drooped the whole time.
As he passed by the door of his laboratory, he said to Alsace, "You can continue to use it here." ”
Arthas glanced at him. He continued: "I can create for Your Majesty more abomination and soldiers stronger than abomination. ”
Arthas didn't nod or shake his head, and he continued walking.
After the whole visit, Alsace said to Serling: "This laboratory is for your use only, and I hope that you will come up with a strong enough work as soon as possible not to disappoint me." ”
After that, Arthas let Sherling stay here to continue his research, and I haven't seen the guy since, I don't know if he's dead or alive, but I've heard that the guy went crazy later, and he was crazy. Why did he go crazy like that, I guess it had something to do with the woman he liked.
The man named Jandis was not a simple woman.
After coming out of Keldaron, we headed south from Icewind Heights, where the herald passed the news of the leader's southward march to the army, which then marched to join us.
After the convergence, Sylvanas told us of the events of the last few days, and that the Stormgards had gathered an army of 20,000 men and marched through Alterac into Steinbrad, and then through to Andohar.
They met the white-faced butcher Facurrest in Steinbrad, and the opportunist must have agreed to the Stormgard's request, not only letting him go, but also sending troops to support him.
Although Facurrest's men only stood behind and watched from a distance in the later battle, my first reaction when Sylvanas told us about their behavior was that he wanted to speculate again.
Arthas disagrees with me, but I told him that this guy behaved exactly the same way when the orcs invaded Lordaeron. And last time he threw the black cauldron to his king, Auden Pirenod. What does it mean that he brought troops out this time?
Is it to help the Stormgardians or us? Or are you ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?
They didn't see Arthas on the battlefield, and when the Stormgards were routed they withdrew, which was clearly speculation!
Arthas didn't say anything, but the army moved at full speed and headed straight for Steinbrad.
At this time, Alterac has been covered with ice and snow, and it is not easy for the Stormgard people to overcome the severe cold to get here, and it can be regarded as a glorious defeat, at least the courage is commendable.
Our army is rushing forward non-stop, and if it weren't for a group of dead corpses of this intensity, there would have been a number of dead.
Also on a certain day...... The weather was bad that day, and it was cloudy all the time. I knew it was going to snow when I saw it, and I thought it was going to snow at night, so I picked up my speed and hurried more. But the snow soon came, and then it got heavier and heavier, and we had to stop and wait for the snow to pass.
The wind and snow that night were so strong that almost nothing could be seen. When the snow stopped, we didn't move on. But he didn't wait for sunrise, but waited for Steinbled's army.
I really didn't expect them to come and attack us. I don't know what this birdman thinks, could it be that he is confident that he can kill us after fooling those Stormgards to death? Or did he feel that after a battle with the Stormgards, our army had suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to fight, and then they could defeat us?
I don't know what he thinks, but after their army was killed, we didn't make a fool of us at all, they were the ones who were stupid. Especially when the walking corpses buried by the wind and snow crawled out of the snow, the soldiers who rushed into the ranks were directly torn apart.
The blood of the living was hot, and the snow was flattened and almost melted after the battle. The red blood of the soldiers stained the battlefield red.
Arthas was not displeased, he resurrected a large number of recently dead warriors with a swing of his sword, and he wanted to make these people the vanguard and return to their masters to see how they would react.
So the thousands of resurrected soldiers picked up their weapons again and staggered towards where they had come from.
Steinbled was also the first human town to be slaughtered by Alsace after Stratholme.
