9. The man who threw himself into the net [42/100]
"Is something wrong? Mr. Tyrion? ”
Far away in the forests of Aranca, standing in front of Styx, the lair of the fallen ravens, Tyrion was on the slope of a hill with a greatsword made of ice, and he could clearly see the Death Knights rushing into the ruins of Styx from all directions, like a grinding disc of flesh and blood, grinding the recalcitrant fallen ravens bit by bit.
Although these degenerate ravens persevered in the attack on the Augendi Necropolis, once they faced the encirclement and suppression of the heavily armed death knights, their remaining strength became so weak and fragile that their distorted wings could not fly, and they could not escape the sea of undead set off by the knights, but had an advantage in numbers?
No kidding, in the current Draenor, no race can match the number of undead.
In fact, when the First War Regiment entered the Alanka Peak Forest, the fate of these degenerate ravens who had lost their civilization and faith was already doomed.
Commander Iriel stood behind Tyrion, she keenly sensed Tyrion's mental fluctuations, and it was clear that an exchange had just been completed within the Order of the Darkblade without her knowledge.
"Nothing, Iriel."
Tyrion turned around and smiled at Iriel, a rare gentle smile that rarely appeared on Tyrion's face.
"Ella chose her path, and after that, the rebellious Luminas also recognized her path, and the ending was perfect."
"Ella? That dwarf? ”
Irel frowned, and she whispered:
"I said earlier, we should kill her, she is a living person, she does not belong to the world of the dead."
"Yes, that's a living person, even if you give her more power, give her a better life, give her respect that she didn't have before, give her everything you give her, when faced with a real choice, she will still subconsciously stand on the side of the living, her thinking, her soul is incompatible with us."
Tyrion looked at the war in front of him, which was no longer in suspense, and he shook his head:
"I just wanted to find a possibility in Ella, a possibility that the living and the dead could coexist, and now it seems that maybe this experiment failed from the beginning, it just proved once again the truth that the living and the dead cannot coexist."
"But those orcs, those Nagrand orcs, Mr. Tyrion, they are said to get along well with Mr. Grokush."
"Maybe we can replicate this model and trade loyalty for survival," Irel reminded. ”
"But we're dead, Iriel."
Tyrion swung his left hand, the sturdy ice sword changing shape in his palm into a frost lance, which he raised and threw out after a brief build-up, nailing a depraved raven who had escaped with a large bag to the ground.
After doing all this, Tyrion patted the remaining ice slag in his hand, and he looked back at Iriel:
"What is the use of our loyalty to the living? Does it make me happy that they are kneeling before me? Even if I accept their loyalty, will they fight for us? ”
"The living will only believe in the living... Death itself is our original sin, and without saying that, let the knights send the fallen ravens back to Oakington, and the next one is the ruins of Babel Peak, we must hurry up. ”
—————————————————————
When Ella opened her eyes, there was a white tent in front of her, a rare color, in the Dark Temple, there are very few buildings decorated with white, Tyrion and the Death Knights like black, and occasionally appreciate blood red, but they don't like pure white, that's the color of light, and the Death Knights hate light.
Even Ella herself would now find white so harsh.
She struggled to sit up on the bed, her whole body aching, and she fell from a height of 5 meters, and if it wasn't for Luminas controlling the force and landing point, for the diminutive dwarf, she would probably be in danger of having her skull cracked.
"Well, you're awake?"
A gentle voice reached Ella's ears, and the dwarf turned around to see the paladin Myra lying on the bed next to her, this guy was much worse than her, his whole body was covered with bandages, and his green eyes were beating with pain.
"Did you save me?"
Ella rubbed her neck and asked in a low voice, "You brought me out of the Hellfire Fortress?" ”
"It's not."
The paladin shook his head, he let out a sigh of relief, staring blankly at the top of the tent, "It was the death knights who let us go. ”
"It's Lumi..."
Ella sadly picked up her legs and curled up in the corner of the hospital bed, she lowered her head and sobbed:
"She will be punished for letting us go, Lord Tyrion is not a merciful lord... Lumi was right, I was a traitor, I betrayed her, I betrayed our friendship. ”
The sobbing made the tent of only two people seem empty, and the paladin was silent for a moment, he sat up by the window with difficulty, he looked at the gnome, and asked in a low voice:
"That woman... Her name is Luminas, right? Luminas. Impotence. ”
"How do you know!"
Ella raised her head sharply and looked at the elven paladin in front of her, "I never said Lumi's last name!" ”
"Because I know her, I know her better than you do..."
The paladin took out two rings encrusted with red gems from his close pocket, one was carefully cared for, the other was covered with dust and ashes, and repeated polishing could not wash it off, Myra placed the rings in the palm of her hand, her eyes full of sadness, and finally, he clenched his fingers.
"Because... If she hadn't died in Dysom, she would have been my wife..."
After a few minutes, Myra made up her mind, her hands fluttering with light, healing her body, then she stood up, staggered to put on her coat, and walked out of the tent.
"Where are you going?"
When the dwarf saw Myla's stubborn back, a thought immediately crossed her mind, and she hurriedly stopped it:
"Don't go, Lumi will kill you!"
"I took orders from Prince Kael'thas to come to the Outlands to find Tyrion. Dawn Blade, my cousin I've seen no more than 3 times since I was a child..."
Myra, standing at the entrance of the tent, turned back to the gnome and said:
"Aside from having the same last name and the same blood in my body, Tyrion is almost like a stranger to me, and my real purpose here is to find my wife... Aurelia told me that Lumi had become a Death Knight, so I had a plan before entering the Dark Portal. ”
"I couldn't get to her when she needed me the most, the pain was tearing at my heart like a poisonous snake, I just, I just didn't want to lose her anymore, I gave up magic and learned the Light to save her, and now it seems... The Light may not be able to help me. ”
"I'm on my own."
Myra's figure disappeared into the tent, and the dwarf watched dumbfoundedly as the paladin went to die, her heart was in turmoil, she didn't know what she should do, should she go back to the Hellfire Fortress with Myra, but would Lumi let her go? Will Tyrion let her go?
The fear of near-death was enough to endure once, and after getting rid of the Death Knights, she wanted to go back to Nomorigan, and she wanted to go back to see her sister again, and in her anguish of emotion, Ella curled up, ashamed of her cowardice and cowardice.
But she is not to blame, she is just a weak dwarf, maybe the future will change, but for now, she has no strength to fight her fears.
"Block! Stop these corpses! ”
General Danas waved his arms, bands of soldiers ran through the positions, griffon knights quickly rose into the air, dropping alchemy bombs on the heads of the undead, flames erupting in the dark red barren wasteland burned the awakened necrons to ashes, and at the front of the Alliance's forward base, warriors and paladins held up their shields, mastered the terrain, and with the help of the mages, fended off the tide of the undead rushing from below.
The land near the Dark Gate was filled with the undead who had escaped from nowhere, and when Myra returned to the camp with the gnomes, they began to besiege the place, as if they had awakened an evil, leaving the commanders who remained in the camp anxious.
But fortunately, the location chosen for the forward base is very advantageous, and in the case that the undead do not send out the air legion, relying on these fragile walking corpses and skeletons, it is difficult for them to break through the alliance's front in a short time.
"Look there! Danas! ”
Khadgar, the archmage standing beside the general, blessed Danas with the Eagle Eye technique, and looked at Khadgar's fingers, and in this sensational area of the undead, those cruising death knights on skeletal horses and death thunder elephants made Danas gasp.
In his eyes, the number of death knights wearing black armor was at least 300 or more, and according to the news that Myra brought back, there were definitely more than just such death knights in that fortress...
"Why didn't they attack it?"
General Danas looked back at Khadgar: "If the Death Knights join the battle, our outpost positions are likely to collapse, why don't they attack?" ”
"They're waking up the corpses buried in the ground!"
The archmage's face was gloomy, and he whispered:
"They're draining us with these walking bones, and when we're exhausted, they'll join the fray and launch a final general attack, cunning undead!"
"We need support! Obviously! ”
Tulayan, on his horse, rushed to the side of Danas, and he turned back to point to the front line, where the sea of corpses would make people feel desperate at the sight, and the paladin shouted:
"Khadgar, reopen the Dark Door, we need support from the Alliance, there are too many corpses!"
"No way!"
The archmage felt the dragon scale gem in his hand, he glanced at the crack in the gem, and he replied:
"This gem can only support the opening of the Dark Gate one more time, and if we use it now, we will have to return to Azeroth... The artifact doesn't have a shadow yet! We're going to go back in such a mess! ”
"I don't want to be beaten back by these corpses... What the hell! ”
Danas grabbed the hat from his head and threw it aside, rubbing his chin and looking back at the map in his hand, until finally, he grabbed Tulayan's arm and said to the paladin:
"You go for help! Tulayan. ”
"Where are you going?"
Tulayan's eyes widened: "Where do we still have reinforcements?" ”
"Go to the cities of the north, don't you say that you can hear the chant of the Light there? Since it is calling you, take the initiative to go there... No matter what race or existence, as long as it can support us! That's enough! ”
Pointing to the northern sky, Danas said to Tulayan:
"The griffons of Kudran will send you over as fast as you can! Look at the number of these undead, we can last up to 2 days! ”
"I see! Leave it to me! ”
Tulayan turned and dismounted, and hurried to the position of the griffin cage, and after he had left, Khadgar said to Danas with some hesitation:
"Is that really good? A masked force, rash contact..."
"There's no way around it right now."
Danas was equally worried, but looking back at the bones that littered the horizon, he didn't have a good idea.
At the critical moment when the Alliance's forward base was surrounded by the Sea of the Undead, on the top floor of the Hellfire Fortress, in the hall where Tyrion and Neozu had fought a battle, Luminas, who had changed into a suit of armor, was standing there, looking indifferently at the Alliance base surrounded in the distance, playing with the jewels that Neozu had given her, and her dark red eyes were emotionless.
"Ella... Are you there too? ”
"Your Excellency... We've caught a captive! ”
Behind Luminas, the high-ranking Draenei knight reported in a deep voice:
"It's a human paladin, the one we let go before! He said he wanted to see you! ”
"See me for what?"
Luminas waved his hand:
"Since it's a captive, let's execute it."
The Death Lord's tone was cold, but the High Knight had his own mind, and instead of following the order, he lowered his voice:
"He said his name was Myrah. Dawn Blade, it's you... It's your love. ”
"Smack"
The priceless jewel in Luminas' hand was directly crushed, and in the crisp sound of the gem falling to the ground, the eyes of the young lady of the Death Knight changed, and a different emotion was outlined on her cheeks, and a cold smile was reorganized.
"Oh, in that case, then put him... Bring it here. ”
