Rise of the blood elves

229【Interlude in the Place of Death】

The next day, the woodland where Tichondrius died.

Groups of demons walked through it, carefully observing all the traces left by the battle. The eredar warlocks drove the hellhounds to analyze the spell fluctuations left in the air, not letting go of any clues.

"Look, Lich, only half a day before Lord Tichondrius started his corruption process, a group of mortals raided here. In just one hour, a thousand elites were slaughtered, and even Tichondrius Master Dios died on the spot, and the other party was definitely prepared."

A tall Dread Lord walked side by side with a Lich suspended several feet above the ground. His tone of voice was cold as he spoke, and his withered and pale face was full of gloom.

"It seems that you Nazresim will be punished by your master for your unfavorable actions, Anathalon."

Lich chattered with a strange smile.

The fear lord known as Anersalon stopped when he heard this, as if he thought of something terrible, he suddenly shuddered, and it took him a long time to recover, grinning with a mouth of terrifying fangs, and looked evil. said:

"Leki Donghan, pay attention to your tone. Don't forget that the creators who gave you this expelling shell are the Nasrezim who you call incompetent."

The lich remained unmoved.

The two continued to walk forward, leaving the ravine plowed by the Ursoc brothers and reaching the place where Tichondrius died.

A group of demons made way for the two of them. Anasseron nodded to the Eredar mage who cast a spell to trace the source and restored the battle process. He squatted down and picked up an armored wristband that belonged to Tichondrius. Hold it in front of your eyes and examine it.

"Tichondrius is dead." The extremely tall Ereda, who looked like a leader and had a similar status to the two, said, "I mean, I can't feel his soul in complete death. You failed. Very thorough, Anatheron."

After saying that, he began to look at Anasseron with the eyes of a loser.

Anasseron's expression became even more gloomy, and he squeezed the wrist guard hard with a sharp claw, making a "click" sound, and twisted the wrist guard out of shape.

"The sky is completely controlled by the Doom Guards, and mortal flying mounts cannot get close to here. We have also used evil energy to corrupt all nearby plants. No matter how powerful the druid is, they cannot use nature to detect our whereabouts, let alone those who A weak mage.”

He said with some anger.

"How come there happened to be a mortal force powerful enough to defeat our elites patrolling in the forest, escaping all our eyes and ears, and then discovered this place by mistake, and launched a perfect sneak attack, allowing Tik Master Dios couldn't even call for help, so he was all wiped out. This was by no means an accident. We found a traitor and leaked the plan to those damn mortals."

Eredar coldly ignored Anasseron's defense and said without any emotion:

"I am just here to investigate the cause of Tichondrius's death on the order of Master Archimonde. It's better to explain your pale sophistry to the master. In any case, you Nasrezim think that your marriage is perfect. The plan failed, and a series of deployment changes that the master made for you were all in vain. Not only did we lose this group of elites, but we also wasted precious time. The legion can no longer catch up with the mortals before they enter Mount Hyjal. The interception is here. You have wasted a precious fighter opportunity."

"Prepare to face your master's wrath, Anersalon."

The eredar leader ended the conversation with words that froze Anasseron's heart, and returned his attention to Tichondrius's "corpse."

Aneseron gritted his teeth. The Burning Legion would never treat losers mercifully. He could already imagine how he and all the compatriots who planned this plan would be tortured.

Seeing that Reki Donghan was gloating next to him, he couldn't help but get angry and asked: "Lich, as far as I know, your loyal death knight has not appeared for several days."

Reki Donghan's "smile" slowly receded. The Lich has no flesh and blood, only a skeleton, so he just closed his open jaws a little.

"I'm not blind, Dread Lord. Of course I discovered Arthas' disappearance."

Lich said solemnly.

Although the Scourge Legion is powerful and cannot be ignored, in the final analysis, for the Burning Legion, the soul of the incompetent old orc trapped in the ice was just an accident that gradually gained powerful spiritual power during the endless torture. That's all he got, so Kil'jaeden had the idea to put it into Azeroth later to clear the way for the Legion.

Kil'jaeden would not trust him.

The two lieutenants of the two legions were well aware of the Lich King's little move to use Arthas's hand to get rid of Mal'Ganis, who was supervising him.

The old orc naively believed that Arthas had successfully killed Mal'Ganis, and used the properties of Frostmourne to imprison his soul in the artifact, making it impossible for him to return to the Twisting Nether and make the truth known to the public.

But what Ner'zhul miscalculated was that as a member of the Nathrezim who forged Frostmourne, Mal'Ganis was familiar with this magic blade, cleverly escaped death, and reported the whole story to the two men. a master.

The reason why the Lich King is not punished is simply because he still has value.

Once this war is over, the Deceiver will re-examine the need for the existence of the Lich King Ner'zhul and gradually take over the military power of the Scourge instead of just sending a few capable officers to supervise and control it.

Different from the lich transformed by the Scourge Legion using crude methods, Reki Donghan is a surrenderer who was transformed into the body of a lich by the Dread Lord using a more advanced and more essential method. The demonic spirit of the Burning Legion is imprinted in his spirit. Seal, even though his status is temporarily not as good as that of the Lich King who is about to fall from the pedestal, he is more trusted.

Therefore, Reki Donghan, who has outstanding ability and strength, will be valued by Archimonde and be responsible for commanding all the undead troops in this war, not only those directly transformed by Nasrezim using necromancy magic The undead controlled by the Legion also include some of the Scourge troops Archimonde brought from Lordaeron.

In the foreseeable future, the millions of undead armies will be completely controlled by the Burning Legion, and one or more high-level members loyal to the Legion will be appointed to take charge of this force that cannot be ignored.

It's only a matter of time before the Lich King is replaced. The difference is that the one who replaces him

who is it.

This "person" will usher in a rapid promotion of status, just like sitting on a rapidly ascending battleship, and will soon be on an equal footing with a group of high-level demons who are second only to Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the deputies of the two major legions.

In the Burning Legion, only brains and status are the highest requirements for realizing ambitions.In comparison, strength is secondary. There are a large number of powerful demons whose strength far exceeds the legend and are only used as weapons by the legion due to their low intelligence.

Reki Donghan looked at Anasseron with an "expressionless" expression.

Mortals learned of a secret operation that they had no way of knowing about. All the doubts about the failure of the Nasrezim plan pointed to the leakage of intelligence.Alsace disappeared at this exact moment

Reminiscent of the Lich King's previous actions, even without a detailed investigation, Reki Donghan could come to the conclusion that Arthas was probably the traitor who betrayed the information to mortals.

"Then you have never suspected anything?" Anaseron narrowed his eyes and said in a very dangerous tone.

Reggie Handong's figure paused for a moment.

He didn't want to be blamed for the unfavorable supervision of his subordinates at this juncture.

"Dread Lord, you'd better speak clearly. This is a very dangerous accusation."

"Are you accusing your ridiculous head of only being filled with thoughts about your own status?"

Anasseron sneered and shook his head, and the barrier of the vast endless sea fell on the ice crown created by the impact.

"If Arthas is really Arthas, it means that the Lich King is already planning a rebellion. He wants to weaken our power and make us and the mortals both lose, so that we can reap the benefits. Unfortunately, the Legion must win. , all his ambitions are doomed to be meaningless. You must report this matter to Master Archimonde. The information Arthas leaked to the other party is definitely not just our plan to corrupt the forest, otherwise it will just be to kill him with the hands of mortals. Lord Tichondrius, it would be too unworthy to expose a spy hidden among us. There must be other key information leaked that can be used by mortals to fight us. It may be the marching deployment, or the strength of the troops. In short, no matter what it is, we need to nip it in the bud.”

Lei Jidonghan fell silent after hearing this, and nodded after a while.

"I will."

Demons are synonymous with cunning and cruelty. Within the Burning Legion, intrigues, intrigues and status disputes are the norm.

The Demon Lord Sargeras did not control this, but was happy to see it happen.Because strength is only one aspect, this kind of dispute is the best way to select his most effective and worthy subordinates in the expedition.

But no matter how fierce the dispute is, once the fundamental interests of the legion are involved, no matter how power-hungry the devil is, he will settle down.Unless they want to endure tens of thousands of years of torture in the twisting void where time flows hundreds of times faster.

boom,

boom,

boom

The sound of shocking footsteps came from afar, and all the demons were startled, and then they all knelt down in the direction of the footsteps.

I saw a figure dozens of meters tall, like a god, slowly approaching.His appearance was the same as that of the eredar, but no other eredar except Kil'jaeden had such a majestic body.

Wherever he passed, whether it was the corrupted forest trees or the weeds that were still alive and struggling, evil flames were ignited.In those deep green eyes, there was an everlasting green fire beating, as if it had already foreshadowed the death of this world.

"Owner."

Toward this one of the most powerful creatures that has ever walked in Azeroth, all the demons knelt down in unison.

"Master, regarding this matter, we"

The moment Archimonde set his sights on the place where Tichondrius died, Anasseron hurriedly explained in panic, but was interrupted by Archimonde.

"I don't want to hear any explanation, Anasseron. From today on, you are the leader of the Nasrezim, taking over all the duties of Tichondrius."

Archimonde seemed to understand everything, and his rich voice shocked all the demons to tremble.

"I have learned about the betrayal of the Scourge. When the war is over, I will personally punish the traitor. Now, go find a way to remedy the trouble you have caused."

He looked calmly to the northeast, his sight seemed to pass through the barriers between the forest and the vast endless sea, and landed on the Ice Crown Throne that rose up due to the impact.

"Yes, Master." Anasseron and Reki Donghan responded in unison.
