Volume 5 The Return of the King 335 Waiting for the battle
Elite, Elite...... Madias...... Shore.
I don't like this guy, and I want to slap him when I think of his face. Is it he who directly directs this operation? Still smashing the Yellow Dragon? Is he trying to get the most out of the least amount of money?
No, I think there's something else going on?
Hmph, if it weren't for Willie's reminder, I'd have forgotten about this person. Who is Shore? His family from top to bottom from ancient times to the present day is not a good person, I don't remember a good person, all of them are not clean people, and clean people can't do this job. That's all I can think of, really. From what I know about people in this industry, this profession, and this person in this position must not be clean either.
Yes, how can he be clean? The power of this dog thing in Stormwind...... No, it seems that the power of the Stormwind Kingdom is getting bigger and bigger. The person who has first-hand information will always have the initiative, even if the king with the highest power wants to do anything, once he loses the assistance of timely first-hand information, he will be restricted and even more and more wrong, and it happens to be this Shore who provides him with information. He had so many opportunities, and he had the biggest and most opportunities in the kingdom besides the king.
He can totally do it. The sale of information can be sold at both ends, to the king and to the other party who is interested in the news.
The king gives a salary, but the others give a reward, a good reward. Yes, I can think of that, even if it's a conspiracy theory. Because even if the king gave him some powers, gave him some tasks, gave him some kind of instructions, it was not necessarily a decision made by the king alone, whether it was the wind blowing by the pillow or the people he cared about, it could affect the king's judgment, and the people who could influence Varian were now left except Anduin, I guess there was only this Shore left.
If his network is really as outrageous as this guy says, then even if the sheriff here doesn't report it, Stormwind will soon find out about it. Shore ...... Can you spare me? I don't know, but if I were Shore and faced with a guy like me, I would choose to get rid of it, help the king get rid of it, even if the king complained about me in the end.
Now my mind is a little messy, I don't want Edwin to do that kind of hurtful thing, that kind of sacrifice is too big and completely unnecessary, but he wants revenge! And revenge is to kill the enemy, or let the enemy get the punishment he deserves, but his enemy is the king!
It's the king!
To seek revenge against the king is to be the enemy of this kingdom, and it can also be said to be the enemy of all the subjects of this kingdom. Time has not soothed the hatred in his heart after all, he is not the person I think he is. I want to stop him, but he can hold a grudge until now, and he has found goblins to help research weapons of mass destruction, which means that he can't be changed by me in two words, I didn't change him in the past, and now I have built this kind of weapon, and it is even more impossible to change him.
I stop him? Then I am his enemy, not to mention that I was driven out by him, and I still remember what kind of expression, tone, and attitude he had when he drove me out.
Even though he did that to me, I still didn't want him to die, and even if he was going to do this kind of thing, I still didn't want him to die. So how can I stop him?
And Varian's side...... How can I keep them from going to Edwin or being smashed? Kill Shore? Can you stop the plan without his command? So who else can replace him? If it's useless to kill him, then what's useful? How can it be useful? Is it killed...... Varian?
No, the thought......
It's better not to have this thought, kill Varian...... No, how could I have thought of killing him!
"Then kill Edwin." A voice suddenly sounded in my head, and I shuddered at the voice.
"Nonsense!" I scolded, "You fart!" ”
Willy in front of me looked at me in surprise, and I realized that he didn't say it.
I didn't kill Willy, this man is not guilty of death, and he can't change the status quo with or without killing him, he betrayed me just to survive, and if it wasn't for his betrayal, I might not have been in the dark.
I left Lakeside overnight, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble on the way, I chose to leave Red Ridge Mountain and turn around and head south to the Twilight Forest. There should be fewer guards in the twilight forest, at least there are few villages there.
I didn't need to rest, but not the horses under my crotch, and even though Egwene left one to replace, two wouldn't be enough. When I arrived in Nighttown, I fed the horses the best feed, but this meal of concentrate didn't change much. This place has not changed much, it is a sleeping or dying place, there is no life or vitality, only a dull twilight, humid air and an oppressive atmosphere.
I didn't choose to visit Morgan, I didn't know what to do with him, maybe it would be a good choice for everyone to be okay.
After leaving Nighttown, I made my way west along this familiar and unfamiliar avenue, and I met the patrols, but I quickly left them behind as I ran by, and I guess they would have to ask if anything was going on in the town, and if it did, they would be put on my head.
Hmph, it doesn't matter.
The town of Roadridge was in ruins, more terrifying than a cemetery, colder than a cellar. I didn't choose to stay here, the main reason was not because of the vibe, but because of the presence of a giant stitching monster!
When I saw the thing I spurred deeper into the town, and the thing apparently saw me too, and I thought I had got rid of it, but it reappeared as I looked for my way out.
It was completely unexpected, I didn't expect to meet such a thing here. Isn't this the stuff of the undead Scourge? How can there be an undead scourge here? I can't see it very clearly when it's dark, but what is its face, that body, not a suture monster? The swollen body was caused by the decay of the organs inside, but despite the decay on the inside, the skin on the outside was very tenacious and did not burst, which required a lot of skill.
I don't believe anyone here can do that, but there's been an undead scourge here, so why didn't Varian tell me? Doesn't he know how horrible these things are?
After finally escaping from this town, I still look back at this horrible place, and I still have a lingering feeling that I should tell Varian about it, if the plague of natural disasters spreads, the kingdom will perish in the shortest possible time.
After leaving Luji Town, he had not seen any living people all the way west, and even the road leading to the Raven Castle was now completely deserted, and the roadside was overgrown with weeds, and the grass growing in the middle of the road was even thicker. Suffice it to say that there would be no living people there either.
I just want to get out of here as soon as possible, and the environment here makes me even more depressed.
When I found the sun behind me that morning illuminating the road ahead and the fields on both sides, I knew I was leaving, and sure enough, I was soon at the river, where the wooden bridge was still there, and there was a creaking sound as I rode across the wind-eroded wooden bridge. I don't know how long it's been since no one walked through here.
When I came to the land of the western wilderness, my mood was much better than the previous days, but my inner worries did not decrease. Should I go to Sentinel Ridge first or go straight to Mooncreek Town? Sentinel Ridge is now bound to be controlled by military affairs if a large army gathers there, and it may be difficult to get in and out, but if you don't go there, I don't know where it has been. Now in this situation, the town of Yuexi is bound to be full of soldiers, and it is very likely that I will be used as a spy when I appear there, and it is even more likely that I will be killed.
If I'm going to defect to Edwin, I'll have to get at least some information, and I can't go with two pounds of apples.
The signs on the side of the road told me how far I had to get to Sentinel Ridge, and I also left the road in advance to hide my whereabouts, and now the west is already very nervous, no matter which side there is someone I don't know, you will not be polite, I am dressed like this...... Hmph, I've gotten into enough trouble.
When he came to the vicinity of Sentinel Ridge, the situation there was indeed as Willy said, a large number of troops had indeed been gathered, and this posture looked like Varian was bound to uproot Defia. I saw the ranks of paladins, their horses were very different from those of ordinary knights, and I saw chariots and trebuchets.
Edwin's people are hiding in the mountains, can these things work? They were hiding in the cave when I left, will this thing work? Seeing this, I was deeply skeptical. But when I saw the magicians, I couldn't help frowning. It's real fun!
I squatted at Sentinel Ridge for a day and two nights, and during the night I sneaked into the barracks and walked around twice, and I felt the general situation inside, and if this was the orc barracks, I would probably set a friendship fire on them.
The most valuable discovery was not how many paladins and mages came here, but I seemed to have really seen their elite, which is a separate legion, and the people in each team are different, and unlike the regular army, these guys are not all humans, dwarves, and gnomes. Some of them used muskets, some of them used swords and swords, and some of them were magicians, and the magicians I saw turned out to be with them.
The number of these squads is not very large, generally ten to fifteen, and I don't find a team of more than twenty people. The people of each team basically live together, in a circle. There were seven or eight of these teams that I looked up.
These are the people who carried out the decapitation!
