Chapter 87 The Battle of the Plague (5)
I seemed to miss another key war in my dizziness, but this was not a big deal. 21?? The current natural disaster of the undead cannot fight against those powerful ancient creatures. I don’t know how many red dragons came this time, but when I woke up, only Crasus was left by my side. It seemed that the recovery of his injuries was due to his help.
After thanking this indifferent Red Dragon Master, I glanced at the number of people around me, and saw that they could smile at me, and felt much more relieved. However, just as I was trying to continue squinting my eyes and rest because of my fatigue, I realized that there seemed to be some close friends missing around me... What surprised me even more was that Jaina was not by my side.
But I subconsciously didn't think she would be in any serious trouble, because everyone's relaxed expressions meant that there should be no accident this time. When I continued to look for her figure, I suddenly realized some news that might be better in the corner of the crowd.
"Nathanos? Why are you here? Where are the other elves?" I stood up and walked in and asked him, and in his smile seemed to have given me the answer I wanted.
"You know where the Rangers are, where is my home." He said, signaling me to look out, and there were two figures that I was most looking forward to talking to each other. Yes, I couldn't help but get closer to them, but in their eyes at me, Jaina turned around with a sigh, and the reason for her was perhaps because the other one showed seriousness and indifference.
"Althuss, please respect yourself. I came here just because those plague creatures may threaten the survival of our elves." Jaina deliberately dispersed a little to get close to Sylvanas, but at this moment, the elves coldly signaled to me to keep a distance from me, which really made me feel overwhelmed and made me realize a reality.
"Sylvanas..."
I looked at her affectionately, puzzled, and apologetically. Yes, I was already looking forward to him forgive me at this time, but the one I received was still such a cold reply.
"We should explore the next plan, like your concerns about Stantamme"
"Yes, yes!" I immediately thought of an important thing when I heard her say this, so I didn't explain anything to her, nor did I say anything soft to make her forgive me. Instead, I immediately turned around and returned to my tent to find Crassus to discuss this most important thing. Maybe he could have any remedies as the representative of the Dragon of Life...
Maybe she was still waiting for me to show weakness, but turning around and leaving like this would definitely increase her resentment towards me, but at this time, I really didn't realize it, and under the reminder of the Red Dragon, I still did not realize my mistake.
"I think you've had some emotional problems."
"I don't have time to talk about this." I sternly scolded the Red Dragon who was watching me laugh at the door. For his reminder, I just thought that this Red Dragon had the same hobby as Wen Leisa liked to see me being ugly, and did not think about the true meaning of his words. "You have also seen these undead creatures, can you turn them back to their original appearance?"
"Sorry..." Crasus sighed deeply, then faced me in a formal tone
"These creatures have been transformed from dead bodies that have lost their vitality. Just like the elemental creatures we mages call, they are not strictly life bodies, because they do not have independent understanding and are even dirty magical components. I believe that as a Paladin, you should not be difficult to understand."
"I just want to know whether you, as the incarnation of life, can you or the Queen transform them into what they are."
"Think about it, Alsace, if we cannot turn the dead into real living people, you will see flying dragons of all kinds hovering."
"I ignored..." I shook my head with regret when I realized something. I felt a little weak and squatted on the ground again. I knew what kind of choice I would face, such as massacre or face a larger number of undead. "Is there any other way?"
"Althuss! You won't let me resurrect these dead people." Crasus pointed to the positions of Ronin and Wenleza, and at this moment he was truly mourning his lost relatives in sorrow. At this moment, Jaina did her part to comfort him and the villagers who lost their loved ones here. "I think even Ronin wouldn't let me do this. This violates the true meaning of life. Why do you have such naive thoughts?"
"No, but Stantosom, their lord has been controlled by the Fear Demon King..." In the face of his doubts, I can only tell him the truth. Yes, I must tell him the process. "And it was the food sent there that turned the residents here into the devil's puppets, so I think the citizens there may have become infected. Is there any way to solve this infection problem?"
"Wait, what is the Demon King of Fear you are talking about?"
"He has another name..." I forgot that the name I had 10,000 years ago might be different from now, such as Deathwings was also called Nesario. "Nasrezm, the most cunning creature in the Burning Legion, I think you are not unfamiliar with this creature."
"Yes, it's just that my memory was a little blurry, but they were really cunning."
"Then you can imagine what he would look like when he became the Lord of One City."
"This is not good news, Alsace, we must act as soon as possible." He said so and shook his head. "But I want to remind you that I think I may not be able to change anything.
He became nervous, and this made me even more convinced of my concern. So I signaled everyone to pack up and continue to move towards Stantamme quickly, but facing almost all the soldiers who fell to the ground, I really couldn't ask them to do anything.
"Everyone have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we may have to travel day and night to Stantamme!"
After the order, everyone showed helplessness to me. Yes, since Atrik to Andorhal and now, we have been traveling day and night, and we have not even had a normal rest. I don’t think we can let them overdraw their physical strength like this, such as letting everyone rest as necessary for the night.
Crasus said nothing about this. Because when it comes to necessity, I think it would be meaningless even if I could reach Stantamme today, because I believe that the main purpose of his infecting those people this time is not only to increase the number of the undead legions, but also to make me feel desperate and helpless. But then again, even if he did nothing, I already felt this way in another place.
Although this night may be a very important time to recover physical strength for me, I still hope to change something, such as walking towards Sylvana at night. Because the elves did not go to various places like us, the task of vigil was handed over to them, so I also wanted to take this opportunity to save some possibilities with her.
"Silvanas, I have given you so many letters, you should..."
"Sorry, those are not business, so I don't think it's necessary to look at those things."
"Sylvanas, how can you imitate your sister like that..." I said so, as two patrol elves came here. When they appeared, my voice lowered, and they avoided it friendly. However, Sylvanas rebuked their inadequate work, and they had to pass through our position. After they disappeared, I explained it might be better when I was about to surround her, but it was not...
She rushed me to the ground fiercely, and expressed her impatientness, even extreme anger and extreme disgust to me.
"Your Highness, you seem to be wrong. If my sister saw Tulayang injured, she would definitely want to check his injuries at all costs. But if you were injured or died, I would not be like him. I would even feel relieved, because in this way, you Lordaeron will reduce the threat to us."
"Threat?" I couldn't imagine that he would think like this, but maybe it was really as he said. "Okay, I hope you can really treat me as a threat by then, Sylvanas!" After toughening this sentence, I no longer want to say anything to him. Maybe I was saying something soft at this time, or until she was weak, or when I showed my pain, even Gianna or Wenresa was present. But now I don't have much energy to do this. She is now indifferent to me, and I no longer long for anything physically and mentally exhausted.
"I think I have other things to solve. Goodbye General Ranger." After I said this, I turned my head and left. As for the direction, I could no longer remember whether I was heading towards my camp. In short, I just wanted to be farther away. I stopped my dazed steps until a vague figure appeared in front of me.
It seems that the other party is a mage. I have not participated in this final battle and I have no idea if there are any undead nearby, or his believers, especially the Lord's mage's crutch, look no different from a necromancer from a distance.
What is the best effect for a Paladin to deal with them is to get close to him with the fastest time while blessing himself with the holy light. And I did exactly that. Although I don't have any weapons on me, it seems enough to deal with this one.
Perhaps I overestimated my strength. When I approached him, I finally recognized his true face. My whole body was covered with a dark black robe, the shoulder guards interspersed by the black bird Zhengyu, and the mage staff made of not a skull but an ebony. In addition, the appearance of almost no murderous aura was completely unrelated to any characteristics of the undead mage I experienced. But it was more like another mysterious person I vaguely remembered. Thinking of this, before he could release the protective cover, he immediately stopped and questioned his identity.
"It's you."
"I? I don't think you should know me, His Highness Alsace."
"Yes, I don't know you, but it doesn't mean that the owner of this ring doesn't know you." I showed the ring that Kadega gave me in my hand, and this instant made him feel surprised and palpitations... As the original owner of this ring, he knew who I was talking about, because he was Kadega's most important mentor. "Master Medivh, don't think that no one would know you after leaving Stormwind City."
"It seems that you are indeed smarter than your father and Antonio. Can you accept my opinion too, cross to Kalimdo?"
He directly recommended that point of view to me, and even threatened his fate.
"I know this may be our only way out, but Master Medivh, I think this is my last resort."
"Arsace, you are betting on fate, and I can tell you that you will lose without a doubt. Listen to me, take your people to Kalimdo."
"Thank you for your reminder, but I think you know that if I lose, it doesn't mean my country loses. When a real crisis occurs, it's not too late to withdraw at that time. And at that time, I think someone will choose to escape, otherwise even if I want to take the people there now, no one will go with me."
"You may be right, it seems we have nothing to talk to." Medivh also showed impatientness like I just now, but he still warned me that I already knew. "But I warn you that you are already on the subject of fate."
When I heard him say this, I felt that he might calculate some future, and I felt it was necessary to ask him about some specific things.
"Don't hurry to leave, I think our conversation has just begun."
"I've said everything I can, and it doesn't make any sense for me to stay here."
"No, at least, I can help you fulfill your wishes, such as telling the orcs, letting them follow your guidance and go to Kalimdo."
Facing me, he immediately kept his footsteps of leaving and questioned me.
"Arsace, it's indeed the orc you control to escape."
"I thought you knew it a long time ago."
"Although a lot of evidence points to you in the end, I never doubted... Why do you do this, I believe that your fellow tribes will not understand your behavior."
"Because, as you think, I am all about resisting the Burning Legion, and the Orcs will eventually become an important force in this team. Haven't you ever believed that those creatures can?"
"I have always had this plan, but they still have the influence of the demons. They may be used by the demons like the people of Stantamsome you see."
"Believe in Thrall, he is wise, and he will trust you. Let's guide them to the right path, the last guardian."
"Arsace, you know that these things should be like them without hesitation to persuade your people to go to Kalimdor instead of fighting the demons here."
"The national conditions are different... and the fate of some people is also different." When he warned me again, I shook my head and signaled him not to continue, but to be calm, "You can calculate that I am already standing on the center of my destiny, because you are mostly involved in the emotional factor... In fact, you should know my final destiny, and Kardga also saw my future in your home that made me feel uneasy..."
"Maybe, you can change now."
"But, if I don't do this, I worry that my country may not change its miserable fate..."
"Alsace!?"
"Aren't people like us all like this? What we do is not for our true faith..."
"I understand, then goodbye to the human prince." He said so and turned around and prepared to leave. I sighed and prepared to turn back to my barracks.
Yes, now when I think back on the fact that I just met with this mage did not ignite any fighting spirit, but made me feel even more depressed and pessimistic. However, he did not turn into a crow and flew away at this moment, but he still expressed his motivation to me. "Althuss, in fact, fate can be broken, just like Kadega, he has not died yet, which already shows that he has broken the shackles of fate."
"Where is he?" Hearing this news, I was excited and immediately turned behind me, but at this moment he or the crow was gone. Instead, Jaina gradually disappeared from the invisibility technique she had used and appeared in front of me.
