Night Walk 14
But now, both victory and escape are just expectations, because we are not as good as the enemy in terms of quantity, 21, and quality. The consequences of being blocked in the hinterland will only usher in more enemies without any reinforcements. But the situation is often not too pessimistic, at least for a moment.
My consciousness awakened, in the form of a dragon, and it was all thanks to Mavie's help. Yes, helping a dragon wake up would consume a lot of power, and her current state is even worse than mine.
I looked around. The fog was completely enveloped here. The visibility was very low, so low that I could only see the soles of my feet and the corpses of the night elves under my feet. I could imagine that they were all sacrificed to protect me. I felt sad in my heart. Of course, this was just the beginning of this feeling. I would soon follow their footsteps, especially the screams around me, the confused cover and my physical trauma could no longer tell whether the sound came from the demon or the elves. But for me, I could only hope that this was from the Burning Legion and the Demon King of Fear, but is this possible?
But as I expected this, this kind of thinking also brought me extraordinary peace, especially now, the tired Mavi leaned against my claws, which reminded me of the feeling I used to be. Yes, in the past, I was with an elf without any worries... Under her incomplete armor, she stroked his show...
But when I touched her, I deeply realized that my hand had become the claws of a dragon, and she was not that elf. Yes, everything had changed, but I seemed to be able to do something else. So I grabbed her in the palm of my hand and prepared to take off. Although the visibility was extremely low, I thought I still had a way to escape from here and take her to a safe place. In short, now is not the time to ponder. No matter where you say it, you can't do nothing like this. What else can I do, at least I can fight for...
"Wait, Arthas..." Mavi immediately understood my intention, but she did not agree with my behavior. It seemed that she had her plans. "We don't need to leave, there is no need." As she spoke like this, there were still many screams and resistance around her.
"I can still take you out. Believe me, I will definitely let you meet with your troops." I promised, but what surprised me was that she still shook her head, as if she didn't believe me, or she really didn't want to leave here, but she always wanted to die with a dragon like me. This was really unimaginable, but I believe she was really tired, or rather, tired.
"The situation on their side is not more optimistic than here, we all tried our best."
"Believe me, I promise, I can do it."
"It's really unnecessary. Really, this thick fog cannot make you distinguish the direction... and since we have chosen to support this place, we should continue our own front line and fight with everyone until the last moment."
Mavie rejected my thoughts again, and I didn't say anything about it. If she thought we were going to stay, then I really had nothing to do, because for myself, I had long regarded myself as a dead person, and the greatest significance of the dead being able to live is to help those companions who can still survive.
"Well, if you think this is necessary, then that's it, but I don't want you to accept your fate. You are not seriously injured...but you..." I still wanted to persuade her, but she stopped her with one-handed gesture, which made me realize a problem.
"To be honest, I like this feeling very much, just like in the previous battle, at the end of that battle, there was only one person left. That feeling made me feel extremely quiet, maybe it was quiet, just like this, exactly the same."
"There is also a guardian like a stupid dragon by your side?" I joked, but I didn't expect that the result was really like this.
"Yes, he is a dragon and a red dragon. He was dying at that time. After being treated by me, I was also exhausted. Then he took me away from here and escaped."
"Or I can do it now, trust me."
"No, there is no need now. I just want to find the feeling I used to be. It's been ten thousand years, ten thousand years. You know this is a huge number for any race." There was a little tears in her eyes, and this was the first time I saw her, the tears of a strong commander, but I didn't deeply understand why this was.
"Yes, there were no human races ten thousand years ago, and most other races." I felt a little emotional, and did not think about anything else, but just understood according to what she said. "If you like this, then I will do it like this, and wait until our destiny ends."
"I really hope this is the result..." She continued to lie on my paws. Seeing her expectation so much, I really had no reason to refuse such a request, but I was very unwilling to just watch the end of her fate.
"This is not difficult, I can definitely do it, but...."
"Is that?" Mavi interrupted me, starting to feel a little excited, but soon became extremely disappointed again. "Maybe."
I really couldn't understand what she meant. Maybe she really regarded me as that dragon, but her content still made me feel a little bit like that, because it also made me find some of the previous feelings.
"I'm also happy that you can accompany me like this, which has also brought back many memories with her..."
"Gianna? When you were a prince," she was excited to say this, but she quickly returned to peace...
"Not exactly, because she is fine now, so I think of someone who is the same tragic as me..."
"Oh... it's that high elf, that ranger general... Yes, she is also very outstanding, only a few hundred years old, and very young, for the elf."
"Yes, you know a lot about our situation."
"These things are well-known in your Great Six. A prince even disagrees with the most stubborn Navy king for a elves. I naturally know something... If I can make you think of her, that's great..."
She replied softly, making me feel a little comfortable. Yes, many times they are very similar, to some extent, or I hope it is... I couldn't help but shake my head in response.
"But some things may not be able to go back."
"No, maybe it's OK, it just takes time, just like that. I've been waiting for ten thousand years, maybe it's still longer, but I believe that I've always believed that I can wait until he appears, and you've let me see hope."
"Is that red dragon? When the war is over, you can go to Crasus and he will help you find the red dragon, but only if you want to survive."
"He disappeared ten thousand years ago, and many died at that time..." She didn't want to continue talking to me, but her speech accelerated instantly. I was also a little excited because of the topic she said next. "My life and death are not important, but you still have to complete your redemption."
"My redemption? I have nothing to do with life and death. What kind of redemption is that you, and the Green Dragon Queen Isera, say to me like this."
"Because our current situation is just like you are now. If the balance of fate is determined by the weight of a thread, maybe you are the key." She explained, but in my opinion, this may be just an excuse. There must be many reasons, maybe she doesn't know, maybe.
"I'm really relieved to hear you say this, but I don't believe it..."
When I wanted to continue talking, the last trace of the fog and the closest place to us came out next to me. I turned my head and observed carefully. It was an Ereda, but this was just a corpse. After leaving the corpse, there was another huge demon's back in front of me. It was a demon that was even larger than the Doomsday Guard. Maybe he was not my opponent, but the premise was that he did not use his strong magic with extremely fear power, and there were many figures around him, but they were much smaller than him in size.
"You are right, and I don't believe this. Human beings, if fate is in your hands, you will die long ago!"
He said to us that it was not important whether he believed in us humans or whether humans were despised to me. Because I knew that I had not had enough time, I could only refute this strong man in language.
"Maybe I should have died long ago, but if I die, you will not defeat us, because there are still many people who can continue to inherit our will and continue to fight against you."
"Very good, I appreciate your words, but waiting for victory like you won't work. What do you have to do to prove it, right?"
"Of course, I can let you see my power."
My anger increased a lot, and he was happy to fight me one-on-one, and he showed an expectant smile on his face while he was standing back. This made the "devil" around him very puzzled.
"This is what you asked for, Alsace!" he said, and raised his weapon. Yes, a pair of weapons that made me look very familiar, couldn't help but surprise me, and at this moment, Mavi's words made me realize the situation.
"Enough. Illidan, you should use the power of Gul'dan's head to fight against those who help you, or take advantage of his weakness."
"Illidan! Guldan's head, what made me realize. Yes, he absorbed its power to become so powerful, but it also shattered a hope, although this hope itself is illusory."
"You actually took this power selfishly." I said angrily to him. He would naturally misunderstand what I meant, and he was also very angry and was ready to attack me.
"Very good, you really exposed your mentality. It turns out that everything you did is not helping us at all, you are just for yourself."
"I am not you, I will never covet my own strength, nor will I betray my own people like you." Yes, in my impression, he is like this, and for his own strength, he will never betray the Burning Legion, but when I said that I would not betray the people, I seemed to have thought of something, and maybe I should not have the idea of handing over Gul'dan's head to the Black Dragon. I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of this. It was my shame that made me ignore one thing, that is, the impact of my words on Illidan.
"Damn it, you actually falsely accused me of betraying the people! You sinister villain."
He wanted to fight me even more, but Mavie stood up again to stop him.
"Illidan, don't forget that you almost killed my brother. You can't make past mistakes."
"It's different, now he..."
"He is like this now. Maybe something has passed for us, but something has not begun for them. Do you understand, something has just begun!"
"Yes, some things have not started yet, so they are not destined..." Illidan nodded, which surprised me even more. After he thought. This surprised me very much about his behavior, but even so, I still felt angry at him...
After cleaning the battlefield, Illidan led less than 20% of the troops back. During this trip, I still gave a sarcastic reminder to Illidan in private while there was no one.
"You'd better cover up your demon's disguise, otherwise some elves don't like to see you like this." I said this, but I didn't expect this sentence to touch his confidence even more. Yes, at this moment I could see that he was already covering up his emotions at me with a fierce look on his face. Yes, I could feel that even when he treated his enemies, he had never felt so angry. Maybe I might be broken by him soon.
But in the end he returned to his peace and just warned me a harsh word.
"Our account has not been settled yet, Alsace! It will never be settled!" He said this, and then he returned to his original appearance. It was the same as the original appearance, but the demon's wings and huge demon horns were preserved, just like his mutated soldiers...
"This..." I was very surprised in my heart why he had such a huge movement, but at this moment I realized a situation, that is, he was like me, and there was another soul in his body. "It seems that Gul'dan's soul has affected him." I muttered in my heart, and at this moment, the soul of Kel'thuzad in my body also came out.
"You're right, they are a fusion of will, but Gul'dan can only affect his personality to a very small extent."
"I didn't expect this to kill me." I was suspicious of Kel's Thuzad's understanding, but his subsequent understanding made me even more surprised.
"Maybe, but I think it's that little personality that preserves you. You must know that Illidan's anger towards you has exceeded the treatment of the demons!"
