Volume 5 The Return of the King 2 The Forsaken
Did you know that dead people can also have hunger.
Not only the Scourge Legion, but also the Forsaken.
This is true, except that the soldiers of the Scourge don't have as much food as they have, or even none of them. The only thing you see is a withered skeleton, but it's not a sublimation caused by the cold weather.
Ah, you don't understand? I was dehydrated, and I could understand it. Their bodies ended up like that because they didn't have food. They need flesh, enough blood. But in the midst of such ice and snow, how can there be blood for them to eat? So the vast majority of Scourge soldiers are immovable, they are alive and dead, and they only wake up from this slumber-like state when summoned by the Lich King.
And the Forsaken have a habit, you probably know, heh...... They can keep themselves in shape by eating corpses...... Remembered? 1
So usually they will try not to move if they can, and when they need to move, especially when they go out to get more blood, they are no different from wild beasts. Hum...... It's not to belittle anyone, it's not ...... To say that this kind of behavior is ...... Not good. It's all about living. It's just that this way is a bit unacceptable for humans.
Life in that village is a very good nourishment. Well...... There are only a dozen families there, and the number of people is not large, and in fact, it does not take the lives of so many people, but in the end, they cannot be left alive. Although I also know that I don't want people to know unless I do it, being known later is not much different from not doing anything at all. Hehe......
Therefore, there was no reason for the pursuit of the soldiers after that, and there was no risk of being pursued. Although they were all cautious along the way, they all saw the walls of Silver Moon City, and they were safe and sound, and there was no wind and grass.
But the destination is not Silvermoon City, which has been dubbed the moon god in honor of its noble origins and lineage since it was captured by the Alsatian army. It was remembered by some cultured and knowledgeable people, especially the pointed hats, before Lordaeron's fall, but after the fall of the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the name of the city disappeared even more from the people's stories.
Hmph, in fact, it is quite ironic, they don't want to forget that they are nobles, elves, and high elves! However, they named their source of energy the Well of the Sun, and the original silver-white decoration style was changed to orange, gold and red after the war. This warm color makes these elves no longer mention that they are high elves. Suddenly they had a new name...... Blood Elves.
Scold... Maybe they want to pay for their debts, maybe they're reminding themselves of how much shame they have suffered, but it seems to me that these guys are small-bellied, a race with a heavy mental baggage that can give birth to eight hundred hearts in the blink of an eye.
Honestly, I'd rather be friends with trolls than get too close to these blood elves. Not only do they have a lot of eyes, but this group of guys who can't keep their homes have a tsundere that others can't match.
Ha, although tsundere, it's all an illusion that is exposed, and it's all for others to see. As the old saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, let alone the death of the country, so the higher they stand in front of others, the more annoying they feel. One can't imagine how downtrodden they are behind the scenes, and in this land, where there are no outsiders, the strength of the strong pretense is completely gone. Along the way, I could only see emaciated people, hungry children, and all kinds of stinky faces. Some are bitter, some are disgusted, and some are ...... It's numbness.
The elven woman's face is really much better than those blue-skinned night elves, and the ruddy color is very much in line with human aesthetics.
Yes...... Despite the hardships of life, ...... Their women also don't seem to be committed to humanity. Although Lordaeron has perished, and although natural disasters and plagues have caused the land to fall, the living conditions of humans are indeed much higher than those of the elves. It's a fact.
The elves are not really good at farming, and their survival depends first on the well, and then on the food in their mouths. Now that the Well of the Sun has been destroyed, people who rely on the energy of this place to stay young and healthy for a long time have begun...... Apoptosis. But this group of guys is still very backbone, not to mention anything else, just to say that their women's appearance is definitely very popular in the major kingdoms in the north. But they chose to stay, and even the race adopted the same strategy as Gilnes.
The black road outside Silvermoon City still exists, like a scar, a mark of humiliation, although it has been more than ten years, it is still clear. This Alsatian masterpiece has not changed its appearance with the passage of time, and the charred black earth is still its main color, and there is still no grass in this land, which symbolizes the color of death.
This path is not only a shame, but also a curse. No elf wants to walk on this path or near here, so walking on this wide black earth means being safer. And that's exactly what happened. On this road, all the way to the south, not only was it unobstructed, but even a figure was seen. If you don't leave this black road and take a look at the land outside, you may really feel that there is no one in this land.
The trolls took the opportunity to reclaim some of the land, but they didn't get much off when they regained it. Plague is a thing, whether you are a troll or an elf, a human or something else, once it is infected, the consequences can be completely destroyed. According to historical records, in the more than ten years since the Lich King left Lordaeron, there was actually a relative peace between the various races.
But time is not only the antidote, but also the poison. When it heals the scars of the past, new contradictions arise, and the cycle repeats. Well, the scar forgets the pain is the saying of the common people, as a literate person, you can put it another way, call it history...... Always strikingly similar.
Half-dead in the south, East Wilder is much better than here, although the plague was raging here, but when you step here, you can clearly feel that this place is recovering, human adaptability is actually really strong, ingenuity and hands-on ability to ensure the prosperity of this race. Once the war is over, they will flourish again.
It's not clear what Stratholme was like, but the road from Quel'Salas was westward, and it was far away, and I had the impression that it had been burned down by a fire in Alsace, and although it was once a very prosperous city, it felt like not many people would want to return to that sad place. Of course, this was a mistake of judgment, and not only did someone go back there, but they were also destroyed twice.
The scenery along the way has been much better, there is no more depression in the past, and the warm sunshine will make people feel it...... Happiness. It was a ...... that came from the heart Joy.
But there was no such look on the faces of the accompanying fellows, their gray-black faces had no expression, and the eyeballs in their sunken eye sockets had lost their blue light. And they seem to have suddenly opened their minds...... It's to start doing things that you wouldn't have done when you were on a boat, like stretching your muscles, looking around, and even turning your head more flexibly than before. One day one of them suddenly said, "I...... Hungry! ”
Yes, after moving away from Arthas, those souls that were once repressed will awaken. In their own words...... Suddenly I woke up, as if I had a dream. They said...... At this time, my heart was full of chagrin and hatred. They can recall the past, but the memories of the past bring them only pain. Because now they have not only lost everything in the past, but they can never go back. Although they can't see themselves as they are, they see themselves when they see others.
But they are different from the Forsaken under Sylvanas, the guy named Putres researches potions that can bring the dead back to life, but most of the Forsaken who wake up are soulless, and even if they are mutilated, they are very bad. Only those who have just died will have the possibility of keeping more souls. This is also the irreconcilable contradiction between Sylvanas and the living later.
Whether it was Gilneth or Stormgard, or the ruined Lordaeron and the old department of Alterac did not stay away from this dispute, they all said that persimmons should be picky, so Sylvana was the first to bully them. But what Sylvanas didn't expect was that the two soft persimmons were much harder than Stormgard, who looked much stronger.
I don't know if East Wilder is considered a borderland, although the peasants here have returned, and although production has begun to resume here, the Scarlet Crusaders are everywhere here, even more than before. However, it was observed that these guys did not seem to be the kind of bad guys who bullied the market and ran rampant in the countryside, and this group of monks in red robes even went down to the fields to work with the peasants themselves. It's hard to associate them with the perverts who came after.
East Wilder is recovering, but West Wilder is the opposite. The land west of the Sodoril River must be dead, the land is dark, the sky is overcast, the trees are withered, the grass is withered, and even the animals that occasionally appear in the field of vision have a hint of malaise. There are many animals that are clearly dead but still the same as when they were alive, except that they no longer feed on grass, but are full of aggression.
Most of the farmland here has been deserted, and there is only one reason: there are not so many people here. But...... There are a lot of forgotten people walking here.
That's right, Sylvanas would have to fight them to the death in the land if she wanted to gain a foothold in Lordaeron.
Oh...... I almost forgot. Lordaeron City has a new name!
