Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"We quickly withdrew the legion before the undead encircled us. Some of the light cavalry and griffon knights stayed in the Tower of Azura to collect intelligence on the undead's movements. The rest returned to Goldsmith Town and North County.

The undead did not pursue them. According to the last scene we saw, the female Draenei death knight holding Frostmourne was heading towards the Stone Tablet Lake.

There are commemorative stone monuments and large cemeteries that we specially created for the fallen soldiers of the Orc War. Once they absorb the soldiers in the cemetery, the undead's military strength will double overnight.

That's all, Your Majesty. "

In Stormwind Fortress, several staff officers who had retreated from the East Valley had just reported the war on the frontline to King Varian Wrynn, who looked serious and heavy.

Everyone in the King's Hall looked ugly.

On the table in front of everyone was a map of the Kingdom of Stormwind, with small red flags marking the incredible marching route of the undead.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon, who had just come here to appease his wife and children, looked at the map in front of him. The resolute paladin frowned and whispered:

"These undead. They covered a distance in two days that would have taken ordinary soldiers a week of forced marching, and they still maintained such a high-speed advance in continuous battles.

Their military power will grow after every battle!

And this kind of growth does not rely on killing our soldiers. They only need to open the tombs in the occupied areas to obtain enough soldiers.

There is no doubt that this is an opponent we have never faced before. "

"They could have gotten more soldiers."

At the Pope's call, Danaus Trolbane, the great nobleman and military commander of Stromgard, who came with only his family knights to support the North County monastery, whispered:

"If those undead let go and slaughter civilians and soldiers, their number will expand at least five times or even ten times in these three days. This is a snowball-like increase in number.

I just can't imagine how bad things would get when that situation arises.

But the undead did not choose to do this. I think there must be something they want to express.

But I am not very familiar with Black Shaw. I only know that he is a very cunning guy, and it is said that he can predict the future.

Everyone, what can you detect from this weird behavior? "

"He's warning us not to resist!"

On the other side of the desk covered with maps, the Great Knight Uther was stroking the Book of Holy Light hanging on his waist. This messenger of light, who had some connections with stinking pirates, said in a deep voice;

"He's demonstrating, folks.

This fits well with some of the character traits Black displayed during the war between Kul Tiras and Silithus.

He is a very contradictory person, always between neutrality and chaos. You have all read the letter sent by the Night Watch in Dusk Forest. The black knights who were recruited and driven by him ran rampant in Night Town, repelling the Night Watch. The soldiers disarmed them, beat them up and locked them in the cellar.

The civilians were also warned not to go out, but no one was harmed until the undead crossed the border. Apart from some loss of property and being frightened, this march that lasted for three days did not cause any civilian casualties.

He did it on purpose!

This is to show the binding and control power of the magic sword over the undead. He may want to use this to express to us that the undead, a creature that is unfamiliar to us, can also be controlled.

And he claimed that Marshal Anduin Lothar was the holder of Frostmourne's destiny, which may mean that Marshal Lothar also has the ability to control the undead.

But there's also a good chance that this is just a bad joke that Black Shaw is playing on us to trick us into letting our guard down.

That guy exceeds all expectations when he's evil. "

"There's no point talking about it now, Uther!"

The great knight Mograine was a little irritable. He walked around and said:

"We must stop those undead. This happened so suddenly that the civilians in Elwynn Forest had no time to evacuate. The people in the city were still kept in the dark, but some people were already spreading news about the resurrection of the undead.

Once a large group of undead appear outside Stormwind City, riots will occur in the city!

No one can remain calm when facing the dead. Think about it, everyone, if you are a soldier, and among the dead people rushing toward you are your father and your grandfather.

God, I can't imagine what chaos this city will be like when the undead troops come to the city!

And those pirates! "

The Grand Duke waved his fist and shouted:

"I knew that all the pirates in this world were bastards! They were like a group of hyenas that smelled blood! As soon as Black Shaw called, the damn Black Spirit Pirates and Cursed Pirates came wagging their tails and tried to get a piece of the pie.

Those troll pirates who have seized the power of the elements have sailed their filthy ships into our skies!

What do you want to do? asshole!

This is a provocation!

A group of dirty dogs have united together to provoke the human kingdom, and we must fight back! Where is Dai Lin? "

Mograine shouted:

"Isn't he the best at dealing with pirates? Let him chop off the heads of some bilge rats!"

"Calm down, Mograine."

Old Fording, who had been silent, felt that the Grand Duke was a little too excited today. He frowned and said:

"His Majesty Daelin is rushing towards Stormwind City. He has brought his Titan artifact. It is said that the shield is enough to resist any evil approach.

As long as it is there, the entire monastery is impregnable.

So the most important thing we should do now is to buy time for His Majesty Dai Lin and slow down the undead before the Holy Shield of Aggramar arrives. "

"It will be too late when he comes!"

Mograine snorted, banged his fist on the table and said:

"If we don't act, it will be like giving up the civilians of Goldshire to the rapidly marching undead. We must make a plan!

There are so many of us here, maybe we can launch a decapitation operation, we can"

"His Majesty!"

Just as Lord Mograine was delivering an impassioned "speech," a royal guard strode into the hall and said to King Varian Wrynn, who was sitting on the throne in silent contemplation:

"The Great Knight Turalyon and the reinforcements from Draenor have arrived in the mage area, and the Great Knight is bringing several leaders to meet him! Among them is the leader of the Draenei, Lord Velen, who calls himself a prophet."

"Um?"

Varian suddenly raised his head and said immediately:

"Invite them in quickly!"

Others in the hall also stopped talking, and a few minutes later, the great knight Turalyon quickly walked into the fortress with several leaders.

In addition to him and Velen, there is Lady Nassa, the adjutant of the Watch, a death knight representative of the Black Crow Chapter, and Lady Arantine, the commander of the Illidari.

"Undead!"

When the great knight Mograine saw the elf death knight, he immediately yelled:

"How dare you step into this hall of the Holy Light! How presumptuous!"

He roared, clenching his fists.

Of course, you cannot wear weapons when discussing matters in front of the king, so some of the more radical paladins and priests around the great knight also grabbed everything available around them and used them as weapons.

There was even a guy who was not very smart and grabbed the stool next to him.

At a time when the kingdom is being invaded by the undead, a death knight acting freely is really unsettling.

Several well-built royal guards also quietly approached the king, always ready to use their bodies to defend his majesty from possible assassinations.

Since King Lion died on his throne, the royal family of Stormwind Kingdom has taken great pains to prevent assassination.

But in the face of the provocation and hostility of the great knight, the elf death knight ignored it. He upheld the unique arrogance and coldness of the elves and did not look sideways.

He didn't even seem to see the great knight Mograine walking towards him, although the holy light shining on the latter made him feel very uncomfortable.

When the Grand Duke approached, the high-level demon hunter commander Ms. Alantine suddenly frowned, and a green light appeared under her eyes.

The next moment, the sharp moon blade was unsheathed and pointed at the great knight Mograine in front of him.

The huntress's moon blade shone with the light of demon hunting, and a ball of demon hunter's spell was thrown towards Mograine in front of her. She yelled:

"Hidden evil! The Illidari are watching you! Reveal now!"

Watcher Nasa in the team reacted faster. Amidst the exclamations of the paladins, Nasa's figure flashed, and her hand was the watcher's detention cage.

Six vengeful spirits surrounded the great knight Mograine, making it impossible for him to escape.

Coupled with the burning spell thrown by the demon hunter, in the next second, under the astonished gaze of Varian Wrynn, who stood up from the throne, the great knight who had just scolded the undead justly revealed his true identity. .

A nathrezim with gray wings howled and released its transformation. This scene made everyone present look at each other.

This is not over yet.

A female royal guard standing in front of His Majesty Varian suddenly emerged from the chaos and pulled out a fel-shining blade to stab the astonished child king.

But she obviously underestimated the young king's ability.

Varian grabbed the assassin's wrist, and a golden shield of holy light emerged around him. The hot light turned the female assassin's burning scream into a petite fear witch in the interplay of light and shadow.

"Seal the hall! There are Nasrezim hiding among you!"

The high-level demon hunter shouted to the people around him:

"There is more than one demon spy here, everyone, please stand still! Wait for inspection!"

"Seal the hall! Immediately!"

Varian's face looked ugly when he was assassinated. Today's scene reminded him of his father's appearance when he was assassinated.

He gave orders to the surrounding guards.

But before the guards could take action, the silent prophet Velen raised his hand, and thick golden holy light burst out from his palm, enveloping the entire Storm Fortress in the form of a birdcage barrier.

At this time, the fear demons hiding in the crowd were completely panicked. Without waiting for the demon hunter to screen them, they all turned into flying bats and tried to escape from this blocked place.

The entire Storm Fortress was in a state of uproar, and even Queen Elian, who was resting in the palace, was alarmed.

But the truth revealed during this commotion shocked everyone present.

There are thirteen low-level dreadlords hiding among the guards of Stormwind Keep alone, and there are also two high-level dreadlords among Varian's political advisors.

The most frightening thing is that Queen Elian's chief maid and the trusted lieutenant of Lord Knight Bolvar Fordragon are actually two Dread Lords pretending to be one.

This means that if something goes wrong and demons invade, the entire top management of Stormwind City will be at risk of being wiped out in an instant.

"What the hell are you doing? Humans!"

After everything calmed down, the high-level demon hunter Ms. Alandine said to the remaining people in a sarcastic tone:

"Is this the vanguard of the Burning Legion in Azeroth meeting to discuss how to destroy a mortal kingdom?

Although I know from Mr. Black that you don't care about the threat of demons, I really didn't expect that you would do this after receiving the prophecy from the prophet.

If this were the ancient war ten thousand years ago, all of you who were so careless would have been dragged to a military court! "

Faced with the sarcasm of the elf witcher girl, the humans wanted to refute.

But looking at the Nasrezim around them who were tied up by the Watcher's binding spells, they really couldn't say a word to explain.

It was really shameful that they were among a group of demons from the Burning Legion pretending to discuss how to deal with a threat like Black Shaw.

The face was so hot that it was embarrassing.

"Tell me! Demon, what kind of conspiracy are you planning in the Kingdom of Stormwind?"

Warden Nasa has already begun to interrogate the captured Nasrezim, especially the high-level Dreadlord who pretends to be the Grand Knight Mograine, who is the focus of her interrogation.

Facing Nasa's questioning, the fearful demon king showed no fear. It laughed and said in human language:

"What bad intentions can we Dread Lords have? The Watchers, the Paladins, and the ridiculous Child King!

We were summoned by the Twin Kings of Fear to come here just to admire the vanguard of the legion, the great and evil Lord Black Shaw, who transformed the great men of mankind into the legionnaires of the legion!

When Lothar resurrects from the dead and becomes a lackey of the legion, I will smile and appreciate the despair on your faces!

Hahaha.

That would be fun!

You pathetic world still hope to escape the clutches of the Legion, you are simply asking for your own death! "

"Don't demagogue here, devil!"

Great Knight Turalyon stepped forward and scolded:

"Although Black did something wrong, he just saved a world from the threat of the Legion. He is not a servant of the devil! Also, what did you do to Mograine?"

"Yes, he is indeed not."

The fear devil tilted his head, an interesting smile appeared on his gloomy pale face, and he grinned and said:

"But can you still trust him? Do you still dare to trust him? Seriously, everyone, don't waste your time pretending to be here with us, and think about how to resist the undead army set off by Frostmourne.

Blake Shaw wasn't kidding this time.

He is serious!

He is determined to resurrect Lothar, and you can't stop him at all! "

Nasrezim lowered his head and said:

"I'm not kidding, I'm really trying to help you. After all, we are actually on the same side this time, and we don't want to see Black's conspiracy succeed.

But I really don't see any chance of you winning.

Lord Sargeras, you are simply being played with by him.

As for poor Alexandros Mograine, haha, that rude and sincere guy lives in a place far, far away from here.

You will be surprised when you see him again. "

"What the hell do you mean! Devil!"

Varian tightened his grip on the gemstone bracelet given by Black and scolded:

"say clearly!"

"Do I need to say more?"

The demon looked back at the child king and sneered:

"You sent Mathias Shore to Goldshire to stop Black? Even a demon like me knows that they are better than brothers even though they are not related by blood.

If that's how you examine Shore's loyalty, you're a fool.

If you really think Mathias Shore can stop Blake Shaw, you're an idiot.

While you are discussing, Goldsmith Town has fallen into the hands of the pirate, and you have lost all possibilities to defend against the delayed undead!

There is only one way left for you.

Just fight to the death with the undead in North County, but I'm sure that's what Black wants you to do. You are just like the chess pieces in his hands. Do you really think you have a chance of winning?

Haha, Black Shaw vividly demonstrated for the nathrezim how to disrupt and defeat a kingdom in three days. Unfortunately, we have already learned. "
