southbound

I don’t know when I woke up again. At this time, the surroundings were completely dark and I couldn’t tell at all. 21?? At what time, if there were no sporadic perceptions, I really thought I was already in hell. But for me, there was no difference, because the stenchy sewer that could not be cleared, and the scene of maggots and flies flying around, even a dead soul would feel dirty.

The deepest part of the dungeon, where no living person wants to touch, was never imprisoned here before... I sighed and thought about my current situation, but I quickly realized a very strange thing, that is, there was no shackle on me, and even the injuries on my body were treated with simple bandages and medicines.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful. Perhaps because someone still has a good impression of me like this, I also shook my spirit and looked for a way out in the dark. Yes, although someone here treats me well, I still don't want to stay here for the rest of my life. I soon found the spark and torch. After igniting it for a lot of effort, I tried to fumble towards the possible exit.

Relying on the sporadic light of fire, I saw a dark shadow coming towards me. I instinctively put out the torch, then hid myself and remained vigilant to watch the tranquility.

But the fire was extinguished, but I still felt that he was still coming to me without any influence, as if the darkness did not affect his vision. I couldn't help but regret it, because I remember that some demons, such as the Fear Demon King, were waiting for their vision in the darkness and even the daytime. If this is the case, it would be detrimental to me. Of course, he might be a powerful mage, such as Medivh. In short, just in case, I still picked up the weapon I could use, that is, the torch stick to defend against possible enemies.

Not long after, the sound suddenly stopped. I don’t know why this happened. However, when a kerosene street lamp on the road was ignited, I quickly realized that she had approached me during the time when I thought it was quiet, and with her back, I could immediately recognize her identity, a familiar face that could not be more familiar.

"It's you, it seems that Kelthus knows that I failed, right, the elf undead..."

"Yes..." Sylvanas turned around after lighting the light and said to me calmly, as if it was very clear that I would have such an attitude. "This is the purpose of Kelthus resurrecting you, Althus..."

"So you saved me and wanted to control me and let me continue to complete the assassination mission, but I can tell you that this is impossible. I can no longer see my father, and I will not let you succeed even if I fight to the death!" I said angrily, and this anger once again caused my old injuries. This made me feel very painful. Yes, that passage made me more scars... But this did not affect my will, or my thinking, because I hated the people in front of me very much. Even when she showed sadness, she should think that she was going to have a conspiracy against me again.

"No, Alsace, this is no longer needed..." She tried to check my injuries, but was immediately stopped by me and kept it away from me.

"That's best. I have no use value. Then kill me and die in this dirty place... Yes, at least it's much better than Quel'thalas, who is raising all kinds of demonic minions!"

I tried my best to mock her and her race, but even so, she did not get angry at me, but whispered in a low voice and defended me like an aggrieved woman, but this was limited to the evaluation of her nation.

"We are all forced. You are not elves. You don't know that we must have magic sources to maintain our survival..." She began to speak in a high tone, but she was still angry when she saw that I continued to lower her voice, "It's all forced."

"Yes, of course you understand them, you and them all the way."

"Arsace, I know you're blaming me for killing you and making you like this, but even if I don't do it, you can't change your fate, right?"

"No, at least I will not just go to Quel'thalas for you, instead of leading the main force of our alliance..." I retorted, and at this moment, I saw her a little moved, and immediately realized that my words seemed to express my mentality, so I immediately changed my words, "I don't blame you for killing me, but you used me to kill Uther, and tried to kill my father, which has far exceeded my bottom line..."

I continued to be so angry at her. Yes, this is probably my true catharsis to her, and this feeling seems to make me forget a reality, that is, her feelings for me before the dead, and she also tried to save me.

"No, Alsace, I didn't want you to do that. I know the purpose of Kelsace resurrecting you, so please control me and I've been preventing you from doing that."

"Impossible! Then you shoot arrows at me when I fight Uther..."

I said angrily, and at this moment I seemed to have overlooked something...

"I know you were already under control at that time, so I wanted to shoot you down... I just shot you down, and I didn't want to kill you and Uther." She cried a little as she said this.

"Well, you have many excuses, but how do you make me believe everything you say and how do you prove it."

"Alsace, I really won't be controlled anymore because..." Sylvanas wanted to explain the reason, but I was angry and didn't give him such time to explain.

"I don't believe you, elves." I continued to call her like that, but at this time I still had some unreliable emotions towards her. "You really disappointed me, really."

"Well, Alsace, believe it or not, I have restored control, but I want to tell you that your father is dead and I cannot use you to kill your father."

"What! How is this possible?" I didn't care about her aggrieved expression but became angry, but soon shook my head again. Yes, although I don't know why, my consciousness told me that my father would definitely not die, because he had been arranged, yes, a destined ending, as if Isera told me, yes... "No, you lied to me, you have been lied to me all the time."

"I've never cheated on you, Alsace."

"You still want to use me, right..." I walked towards him calmly, staring at her tightly. Yes, I just want to tear her offense so that I can give up on her completely, but she just waited quietly for me to approach, even if I would attack her.

"Arsace, I really don't want to tell you the result, but you have to accept the reality."

"Yes, I've accepted the reality, that's a complete deception of me in terms of emotion."

"No, Alsace, I didn't deceive you..." She had left tears of sadness at this time, and I also didn't notice any flaws in his deceiving me. In this regard, I grabbed her collar and pushed her off the ground. Yes, I wanted her to attack me so that she could prove everything I said, but in fact she didn't, just looked at me and did not resist. "You have to face the reality! Your father was really dead in battle."

"Then you accept your reality first." My anger hit me again, and my right hand not only grabbed her collar, she still didn't move... Yes, I hate her very much, but it would be difficult for me to kill her with my own hands. After a few seconds, I finally let go of her.

"Arsace..." Her face suddenly felt comforted, but it only lasted for a few seconds, because my language was still suppressing her.

"I refuse to kill you, not to mean I trust you, nor do I forgive you." As I said, I lit the torch again and continued to enter the door. Sylvanas tried to stop me, but a woman did not use force, so how could she stop me? After I put down her, she sat on the ground and started crying.

"It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, but you can't go up. There are demons of the Burning Legion, and even the undead are not safe."

"What!"

"It was the Burning Legion led by the devil leader Archmond who captured the place. In less than half an hour, the whole city fell, and almost all living creatures were killed by the demons."

"He can't come so soon...Impossible." I thought of something, for example, they do have such strength, but this ending always feels very different from what I think, and I don't believe it in my heart and consciousness. At least I believe that my father is not dead, both in my heart and in my senses. "Impossible, you are lying to me."

After I defended myself, I felt that it was meaningless, so I speeded up to the direction of the intersection. At this moment, I was still stopped by her. I didn't know why I turned around, but at this moment I saw the weapon given to me by Manic and pointed at me. Just when I thought she was going to attack me, she threw it over and inserted it on the ground in front of me.

"You don't believe me, but you might believe him."

"Yes, of course I believe in my weapons."

I pulled it down and continued to walk, but at this moment I realized that the weapon was not simple, because it was hosting the same soul at this moment, and the sound was extremely familiar.

"Thank you for your trust, Alsace, but I think you should trust your Ranger Lady, too."

"Kel Thujad!"

"If you want to know the situation above, you'd better look at this." As he said, the soul seemed to have left the sword, released the objects from the air to take a cloth cover from Sylvanas's hand. "I'll let you see the scene outside."

"You didn't say you couldn't use spells anymore."

"Yes, but I have this..." He opened the cloth cover, and the thing inside was the crystal ball of Sassarian, which of course also indicates more news.

"It's theirs, you took their relics!"

"No, I borrowed it. I can use the power of my colleague Crassus to show the exterior." He pointed to the top, that is, on the ground, but before that I only care about one thing.

"They are still alive?"

I said excitedly, but Kelthuzad did not answer my question, perhaps because he knew I would not be excited about it next, because, as Sylvanas said, the demons in the crystal ball were raging wildly, fighting for countless incomplete corpses to scatter on the ground, and the culprit was the demons who showed all kinds of ugly things. There were also many doomsday guards and other flying creatures in the sky. Yes, if it weren't for the traces of some buildings, I wouldn't believe that he showed me the Royal City of Lordaeron.

"Your friends may be considered alive, but your family has... there is no living thing where the demon passes, which is even more terrifying than the undead."

Kelthuzad tried to explain, and obviously he saw my anger clearly.

"It's really like this...he really came here." Seeing this, I was no longer aware of it, so I could only angrily scold the devil's name, "Acmond!" As soon as the words fell, the crystal ball gave him a close-up. At this moment, he was standing at the highest point of the royal city and patrolling everything around him, as if everything was in his control, and nothing could hide his eyes. Yes, his eyes, he seemed to be staring at me, smiling at me. I don't know if it was a problem with the angle. At this moment, the crystal ball was broken...

"No! We were revealed!" Kelthuzad realized something and immediately became very nervous. It was hard to imagine that Archmond could actually dig someone to peek at him with spells, but this was no longer important to me.

"So what can I do if I see it? I have to settle the score with him." I didn't show any panic like him, and I was still just angry. Yes, if he was here, I didn't need to hide from anything anymore. Besides, I have nothing left now.

"Before that, you have to have that strength."

"With that strength, Nasario's conscience appears before him, he is full of scum!"

I said this, and Sylvanas spoke to me and perhaps she knew some of the promises I had made after becoming a dead soul, which I had unexpectedly expected.

"Then if you think our world cannot be saved, then why do you still feel that you can still realize your redemption!"

"You've been following me."

"Yes, after I killed you, I had recovered my will for some reason, just like that time in Northrend..." Sylvanas wanted to say something, but she suddenly thought of something and gave me a reason that would convince me the most. "And Jaina, if you think there is no power to stop the Burning Legion's leader, you will definitely choose to go all out against Kelthus instead of letting her go to the West Six to find allies who can defeat the enemy... If you think you have no meaning in life, then you have to hold back time for Jaina, after all, their advancement is too fast, really too fast..."

"For Jaina and the others..." Thinking of this, I immediately regained my courage. Yes, if I could do something for her, it would make sense to fight everything I have now, so I immediately looked at Kelthuzad without looking at Sylvanas. "I think you have a way out."

"Yes, I still have to rely on the power of Crasus. If the power inside did not disperse too much." Kelthuzad still took out another thing from Sylvanas, the hourglass that was given to us. Maybe I should notice Sylvanas's sadness at this moment, but at this moment I just care whether he can really succeed, especially when I have heard the sound of walking on the top.

"Very well, it is very compatible with me, just like my strength." Kelthuzad reached out his empty hand, and soon felt this power, and integrated it with him. "Come on, Alsace, ready to meet old friends."

"What old friend?" I was both excited and timid when I heard this, because I thought I would meet Jaina and the others in this state, but the reality is that what I saw was the same undead as me.

And they were Sasarien and the brothers who became the dead with me, all of them here, probably in the Ultraland Mountains.

Seeing them, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, but I was still very happy to be with everyone, just like they were with me, we hugged each other, maybe this was the first time everyone was excited after I became the dead. Yes, there was no sense of estrangement, but someone was surprised, that was Sylvanas, who was at the far end of us, and it was her reserve that made me realize our current state. Yes, we are no longer the same, although everyone yearned for something from the bottom of their hearts...

After excitement, everyone returned to the topic, and the most realistic question was placed before us.

"His Highness Alsace, have you discussed with General Sylvanas what to do? Should you go to the West Sixth to find His Highness Jaina?"

It can be seen that everyone has already understood Sylvanas. Maybe she has really regained her free personality, but at this moment I still have a grudge against her...

"No, our state is probably not recognized by the world. Only through our own efforts can we prove that our current position is no different from our lifetime. What we have changed now is only appearance."

Although my words have been widely recognized by everyone, everyone still has their own questions.

"Well, then we're here to fight the Burning Legion!"

"But what power do we have to stop them?"

“Even we have no place to stand.”

“The alliance will also be hostile to us…”

.....

"What advice do you have?" I did not give any comments first, but asked Kelthuzad, the soul, and he also had his own ideas.

"Let's go to Northrend first, and I heard that some of your friends are there, and they seem to be dead."

His words were actually my plan, but I began to be suspicious again. Yes, I think some things should not be known to him, such as the Anubarak incident... I doubted whether he was still loyal to Neruzu... At this time, I wanted to ask Sylvanas, but I wanted to speak but stopped. After thinking for a while, I felt that I could not fully trust them.

"Arsace, what are your plans?"

Kelthuzad asked, and when I turned to this soul again, I also saw Sylvanas through him. Yes, this sentence and the scenery reminded me of the night when I saw Kelthuzad off and suggested that he go to the south, I suddenly made a decision.

"We go to the south, to Black Rock Mountain, and the Tower of Medivh." Yes, I vaguely remember being there seemed to herald some answers. "Where I once suggested you go."

I said to Kelthuzad, and hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"The demon will extend there soon, and our days will not be easy in the future."

"Yes, I didn't think about living a life of silence."

Our debate was over, and everyone had no objection, so they all prepared to move towards the south. Only Sylvanas, who was still standing there, looking at me, waiting for my decision to her. Yes, I have always shown acceptance to her. And I know the importance of a ranger to the entire march. Of course, she is not only about nature, but also more things that she doesn't want to admit. Yes, she doesn't want to admit...

"We still need your vision now, General Ranger."

"Yes, Your Highness, I need your protection for the time being."

We said a little coldly to each other, and then we returned to the team going south.
