19. Confrontation. Definition of Loyalty
It was getting late, and this should have been an ordinary day, but too many things happened on the land of Azeroth.
Family affection, hatred, betrayal, killing, expulsion, chaos... Incomprehensible emotions successfully stirred the northern border of this world into a mess in their own different forms within a day.
On the surface, everything seems to be orderly, but in fact?
Everything is in chaos... While the human empire is facing a life-and-death crisis, the Ann Blade is also facing a sudden internal fission, just like two individuals who are accompanied each other, the changes of one side will always cause the other side to react.
Under such circumstances, the human emperor had already begun to promote the final rescue of the empire at all costs, and the master of the Anbian finally stopped waiting and began to face the biggest uncertainty factor in the system he had established.
But what the result is, this dispute, which has lasted for several years, will be answered tonight, whether internal or external.
In the shining light of dusk, Terion's favorite mount, the "Duke" of the Death Raven slowly landed at the newly repaired gate of Karazan. The King of the Dark Blade jumped off the raven. He patted the mount's head, which made a hoarse roar, then flapped his wings and flew into the sky wrapped in magical fog.
Terion looked back and saw that the scenery on the headwind path was as he had seen. No matter how drastically the outside world changed, the scenery here seemed to be like this... but soon, the change would come here.
The people migrating from the northern border cannot be distributed among several areas of the Difia Federation. In addition, some races that are not suitable for contact with ordinary people, such as werewolf, must be arranged for them to be relatively independent reserved residential areas.
So soon, the sixth city-state district of the Defia Federation will be established on the other side of the Sorrow Swamp on the Wind Trail, which will be regarded as a new pioneering land for all farmers and merchants of the entire Federation, as well as those immigrants from the northern border. Terion's plan is actually clear, and he has been trying to unite the land controlled by the Defia Federation.
To be honest, that small and peaceful world is also urgently in need of new vitality...
However, before this, Terion had to solve the biggest trouble in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the tall dark spire in front of him. He pulled out the ashes messenger behind him and walked forward. The closed door of Karazan seemed to feel the arrival of his master. With the beating of gears and sparks, the door slowly opened. The dim light behind the door looked like a kind of beast's throat that opened its teeth, filled with an unknown feeling.
"So, do you know in advance that I'll come?"
Terion walked into the entrance of the Mage Tower, and while quietly stepping on the stairs spreading upwards, he said to himself:
"So, are you ready to speak up?"
"Then try it, try language, or something else to save your life..."
Behind him, the endless cold darkness was spreading...

"Follow me, Khadgar!"
Garona, wearing a pale mask, grabbed Kadega's sleeve tightly and tried to force him to drag him to the flashing astral portal behind. This was the "legacy" left by Medivh. This door was difficult to start, but after it was activated, it would throw the user into a place that the astral mage had explored.
To be honest, this is definitely a life-threatening move, because among the stars, 99% of the areas are not suitable for life, and only the most desperate people will use this thing crazy.
"Please, I beg you."
Facing the indifferent big lich sitting on the chair without saying a word, the orc assassin Garona's voice was crying:
"Follow me! You are not his opponent, don't give your life here. Please, follow me, let's go to other worlds and throw these messy things here."
"No, Garona."
There was not much emotion in Kadega's silver eyes, like a real undead. He stretched out his cold hand and took off the mask from Garona's face. He showed a difficult smile and gently touched Garona's face. He said:
"Leave this... never come back. No matter what the result is, the Kardag in your heart will die tonight... I have fulfilled my last obligation to this world and to this civilization, so no matter what the future ahead, I will accept it calmly."
"What about me?"
Garona's big eyes, which inherited from the bloodline of Delaney in her body, had a plea. She knelt on one knee and looked at the Great Lich:
"What about your obligation to me? You can't just push me back to the human world. Do you know how happy I am when I know you still have real feelings? I thought our story would continue, I thought..."
"Bang"
At this moment, the door of the top room of Karazan was completely broken open by the scattered black fire. In the irritable flames, Terion's figure appeared in front of the two people. He glanced at the expressionless Kadega, and then looked at Garona who was kneeling on the ground. A cold smile flashed across his thin face, just like facing a friend, he said softly:
"Oh, child...What a touching love story, a shameless traitor, an assassin belonging to the dark, can still flirt here when facing death, and say, Kadega, why don't you answer my dear Garona?"
"Tell her, you love her...and then, I will tear your soul apart in front of her...and I will...let her go as the ending of your tragic love..."
"Bang"
The dim messenger of ashes pointed to the ground, and a pulsing phantom tore everything around. Between the weird smell of broken potions, the torn volumes and the splashing dust, Terion's eyes were extremely cold.
"I like this story, I like this ending more..."
"Swish"
The legendary dagger named Kingslayer jumped into Garona's hands. The assassin master was like a reckless warrior at this time, blocking Kardga who was silent. Her blue eyes stared at Terion, who was emitting murderous aura throughout her body, and she shouted loudly:
"I don't allow you to hurt him!"
"Tsk, it's such a paranoid love."
Terion did not take action immediately. He just looked at Kardga, then at Garona, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"You are full of lies! Garona Haval Osen, your hands are covered in blood, and you have been working for liars and butchers all your life, but you think you have a noble line, think that your distorted love is above everything else, and think that this will offset your sins, but look at you, being trained as a killing machine, your heart is beating with an uneasy heart of killing. Come on, that is your instinct, an instinct that will never disappear."
The King of the Dark Blade raised the Ashes Messenger, and while the heavy sword blade was waving, a dizzy sword blade phantom jumped on the black sword edge. He held the sword blade in front of him, looking at the orc assassin in front of him through both sides of the blade, and he whispered:
"Look, your bill is bleeding, you can never repay the blood debt... Now, do you think that saving a lover who is less noble than you can change?"
"Haha, that's the lowest level of love. I think you're just deceiving yourself! To be honest, even if the person behind you once said that he really loves you? Maybe you are his tool too? That kind of dark wisdom regards everyone as a piece of chess that can be played with, just like he betrayed me, he will sooner or later send you to hell...I'm helping you, a silly child."
"I...love her!"
As soon as Terion finished speaking, a calm voice sounded from behind Garona. Kadega stood up from the chair with the Guardian stick. He reached out and pushed Garona to the other side. He looked at Terion, and he said in a deep voice as the silver light flashed in his eyes:
"This is a matter between you and me, don't involve others."
"You involved her, Kardga, not me..."
Terion's figure suddenly disappeared, and a black light passed through Kadega's body. As the golden rune chains suddenly exploded, the ashes messenger's heavy sword edge slashed on the Great Lich's protective magic shield. The nine sword shadows followed closely from all directions with full force to cut at every magic support point of the Great Lich's magic shield.
The dark red death energy and cold magic power collided, just like a spark shining from the top of the mage tower. Just the first sword to start a war, cut off 2 of the five pillars supporting the secret room on the top... This is just a "hello".
"Bang"
After the magic support point was destroyed, the magic shield protected by Kadega broke open in the swaying of the magic power, but when the staff in the Great Lich's hand was pointed at the ground, a layer of gorgeous violet light enveloped his body and Terion's body. The entire magic power of the Kalazan Mage Tower flowed backwards into the spell guided by Kadega at this moment. The heavy pressure was like a closed ring, completely swallowing the bodies of the Great Lich and the King of the Dark Blade into the purple light cover.
Kardga did not want the aftermath of the two fighting to destroy the mage tower that was of great significance to him, nor did he want Garona to take risks, so he adopted this almost suicide method.
Amid Garona's screams, the entire violet light curtain suddenly dissipated at this moment, and there were no signs of Kadega and Terion in the hall.
"I didn't betray you!"
In another solid space, in the heavy sword shadows rolled up by Terion, the shouts of the Great Lich resounded through this weird space:
"I am loyal to the Ancient Blade!"
"Bad joke!"
Terion responded, his figure swayed in the space like black lightning. Behind the Great Lich, he raised the sword blade wrapped in dark red halos. The dead cold mixed with his body was like a halo, enough to make any creature shrouded in it fade away from its life and frozen in the frost.
"Clang"
The pure arcane power, the blue-purple halo exploded under the sword edge of Terion, and the huge impact force pushed the body of the King of the Dark Blade for several meters. When the light faded, Kardga looked at the scars that were visible on his arm, and he frowned.
"listen to me..."
"Not interested!"
"Clang"
Another sword was cut down, and the figure of the great lich seemed to be shattered by the sword blade, but it was just a boring illusion. As a lich with extremely powerful sense of magic, Kadega almost picked up the combat spells developed by the great human wizards. On the other side, he waved his staff, flames, ice, and energy, and gathered the energy in a storm form, roaring towards the King of the Dark Blade, but he didn't even touch the corner of Terion's clothes.
"I can explain!"
"Oh, after you die, I will listen quietly!"
It was another confrontation between language and offense and defense. This time Terion did not retain his strength. The surface of the ashes messenger in his hand was surging halos. The sword whistled and slashed upwards. The energy surging on the blade was like the sharpest energy blade, leaving the sword body, roaring towards the sky of the violet barrier. The dark blade shadow roared and danced behind the energy blade, like a sharp blade storm that enveloped the entire barrier in an instant.
Nowhere to hide!
The silver light in Kardga's eyes surged. He could see that each of these blade shadows carries a powerful death energy. As long as it is touched, it will be frozen immediately. With Tyreon's attack speed, as long as it is frozen, it means the end of the body being broken. What's more, this amazing King of the Dark Blade is now studying souls, which cannot be concealed by the great lich.
"Bangbangbangbangbang"
The great lich's fingers bounced, and an obscure light was jumping throughout the space. The magic array of "death and withering" that only Lich could use. Finally, it spread to every inch of the entire space. In the midst of the explosion of magic, the sharp blades flying all over the sky were intercepted by magic power, or simply assimilated directly.
But before Kadega could catch his breath, a cold and cold frost rose at his feet. The lich raised his head and Terion, who was wrapped in black fire, was like walking out of another space. He ignored the terrifying killing and magical suppression of death and withering. The dark sword edge seemed to be about to penetrate his body in the next moment. Kadega had also heard of the casting of the Ashes Messenger, but he had never understood the true power of this sword.
Now, in just a few minutes, the great lich Kardga was about to be forced backwards by this strange shadow blade. Although it was still far from failure, the pressure of fighting was getting greater and greater. When Terion waved it, it was like a dozen kings of the dark blades besieging him alone...
"It seems that you have lost your calmness now. You can't listen to anything. I don't want to do this, but..."
"Please let me be presumptuous!"
