13. Gul'dan: The path to godhood

"Is it worth all the effort to help that priest?"

Behind the zombie dragon that spread its wings and soared into the sky, Luminas asked with an unhappy face, "You still let me be his foil, which makes me very unhappy!" Tyrion! ”

Tyrion shook his head at Luminas' questioning, his gaze looking at the sea in the distance, and he whispered:

"This is for the future, Lumi, we can't stay in this world forever, this world is too much resistance for us, and when we go to another free world, in Azeroth, we will always have to leave some forces behind."

"We'll be back when we're strong enough, but until then, we'll have to be careful in this world."

The Death Knight's voice was hoarse and deep, and he persuaded his brothers:

"Whether it's you, I'm good, Rogge or Black Hand, we all have remnants of bonds in this world, we have to stay away from them to live more purely, to keep them away from danger, but that doesn't mean we won't pay attention to them anymore... We are not like corpses who do not have their own thoughts and feelings, remember that! ”

"How loyal can I expect a man to be loyal to the Knights, even to his own affections, to his relatives? If we completely abandon our feelings, all that remains in our shell is empty darkness. ”

"I am not willing to restrain you by coercion, and I believe that you will not let me down..."

This persuasion made Luminas very unhappy, probably because of the difference between men and women, the female death knight always had a lot of inexplicable complaints, always liked to chatter about other people, she shook her long red hair, she whispered:

"But I don't feel happy anymore, it's been a long time... My emotions are becoming indifferent, I can feel that you are the same, death is changing us, and we cannot refuse this change, one day, we will lose all emotions and become the most rational and ruthless death butcher, I don't want to be like that. ”

This retort silenced Tyrion and the other Death Knights, for the living, emotional indifference was a trivial nuisance, but for the dead, it meant that they were slipping into the abyss of death little by little, assimilated by the concept of death.

"Then protect your emotions and memories, you can't feel happy anymore, but that's nothing."

Tyrion closed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"You can at least laugh, can't you?"

Luminas couldn't refute this, and a moment later she sat down on Tyrion, her legs curled up like a helpless maiden, and she said in the hoarse voice characteristic of the Death Knight:

"I have a lover, Tyrion, he is in Quel'Thalas, he is a mage, he has the same surname as you, that's why I believed you at first, I thought you were sent to me, but after seeing your farewell to Aurelia, I've been in pain, I've been worried, me and him, will we have to go through this scene in the future."

"You're talking about my cousin Myra? I'm almost a stranger to him, but I'm curious, do you still love him? ”

Tyrion raised an eyebrow, then asked softly, and Luminas hesitated, nodding herself not quite surely:

"Every time I think about him and those memories, I feel warmth, but when the memories are over, there is a rush of pain, and Glokush told me not to remember those things again, but I... I can't. ”

"Lumy, it doesn't matter if you keep your love and hide it in the deepest part of your heart."

Tyrion pulled the reins, increasing the speed of the zombie dragon again, and in the cold wind of the hunt, he whispered:

"But you have to get away from your past, Glokush's advice is fine, you and I both know that if you continue to indulge in memories, you will end up ruining yourself."

"We're dead... The heart of the dead will not beat, there is no longer passion, no longer hope for a warm embrace, you come and tell me, how should we pursue love like this? ”

Luminas froze, and after a moment, she touched her chest, and eventually, she nodded.

"I see."

"Wait, you can't go up!"

The goblin in a small black and white dress shouted at Gul'dan:

"Those boats don't belong to you, and you haven't paid yet!"

The shrill shout made Gul'dan stop walking onto the deck of the ship, and he glanced back at the goblin who was stopped by the orcs, the evil in his dark red eyes made the goblin merchant shudder, and his voice was much quieter, but he was still unwilling to give up his due.

"Grand Chief Orgrim promised us that he would pay for this fleet! A minimum of 50,000 gold coins is required! ”

Goblin Buddy from the Hot Sand Consortium. Moore resisted in a weak voice:

"We don't care who you are, if you're loyal to Orgrim or not, you're going to take the ship away, and you'll have to pay the bill at least! Or use something else to pay off your debts! This is the rule of the hot sand consortium! ”

Gul'dan had not met anyone who dared to defy his will since betraying Orgrim, and he glanced back at the ships moored in the harbor, ten old ships that had just sailed from somewhere else, unarmed, and goblin craftsmen renovating them.

Obviously, the cunning goblins didn't even think of building new ships for Orgrim, they planned to use opportunistic methods to get a batch of ships for the Great Chief that could cross the Endless Sea, and these dilapidated ships, which they bought back from the Bloodsails and Blackwater pirates, should have their own value, this is the business philosophy of the goblins.

They also didn't think this tactic was fraud, because the ships, although they were worn, could definitely carry orcs across the sea, and the pirates had proven it.

"These things are worth 50,000 gold coins?"

Gul'dan laughed gloomily, "I've heard for a long time that the goblins of Azeroth are good at business, and now it seems that you are really good at making money, but unfortunately, I don't have any gold coins in my hand..."

This sentence made the goblin jump straight from the ground:

"Then you can't drive these ships, these are still the industries of the hot sand consortium!"

"But I have something else, and I think you'd be more than willing to trade with me."

"That's... Your little life..."

With a flick of his finger, Gul'dan enveloped the goblin Buddy's body, and soon, in Gul'dan's hideous laughter, that magic power transformed into a scorching flame gushing out from the deepest part of his body, scorching the goblin's internal organs, causing the little green-skinned creature to scream and roll on the ground in pain.

The tall ogres and trolls hired by the goblins saw that the boss was attacked, and they roared and rushed towards Gul'dan from all directions, who didn't look at the rough guys, he turned around and ordered the Raider Clan and Twilight's hammer to board the ship as fast as they could, and carried the supplies to the ship, then turned his head to look at the thugs rushing towards him, and a trace of sinister poison jumped in his dark red eyes.

"Wow"

Dark green streams of mana flew out of his palms and connected to the bodies of each ogre and troll, as if drawing water from a jar, draining the life force of their massive bodies back into his palms at a rapid pace, and then pouring into his dead body.

Nourished by the life force, his soul let out a hearty moan.

"That's it! That's it! The searing heat of life... It's so nostalgic! It's disgusting! ”

His dead body trembled in the infusion of life force, the forces of life and death collided in his body, and Gul'dan felt the pain that Tyrion had felt, but he didn't give up until he completely drained the life force of the dozen ogres and trolls.

He leaned on his skeletal staff, and after venting his death rage, he glanced at Buddy, the goblin who was holding him back. Moore, who was thrown in the square of the docks, struggled to get back on his feet.

"You... No... Take... It's mine... Property! Uh, what a deal... Loss-making... Buy, sell! ”

But in the end, the goblin swallowed his last breath in extreme reluctance and hatred for the loss of property.

"Let's go!"

Gul'dan gave the order, and the next moment, the cables of the ten moored ships were untied, and the coerced troll sailors spread their sails and sailed into the open sea in the currents that exist all year round in the wetland waters.

"Gul'dan, we've spotted the pursuers! (Red. The Black Hand and the Blacktooth Laughing Clan are chasing us! )”

Gugar walked quickly to Gul'dan, and when the warlock heard the bad news, he turned around and saw that a few kilometers behind him in the harbor, Red. The black hand was roaring frantically, this situation of chasing soldiers made Gul'dan very unhappy, he waved his fingers, the dark green light wrapped around the palm of his hand, and in his cruel laughter, three burning green flame boulders fell from the sky, smashing on the harbor, completely destroying the tribe's harbor and dock.

"Face your worst feared demons, fool! Tell Orgrim that Gul'dan is free... Gul'dan will soon be with you and the world in the coming year with an endless army of demons! ”

Gul'dan withdrew his fingers, he no longer cared about the battlefield behind him, he fixed his eyes on the endless sea in front of him.

"I saw that place in the memory of the Astral Mage Medivan, and I know where it is, only I know! At the center of this world, on the archipelago hidden in the back of time. ”

"The Tomb of Sargeras, the fools of this world fear its power, they fear the scourge of the Lord of Darkness, and the wisest of them bury it deep into the ground, and they have wasted this gift! I, I'm not going to waste it! ”

Gul'dan whispered:

"There is buried the remains of the Lord of Darkness who once entered this world, and his untold power, Kil'Gardan thought he could control me? No, it can't! Those demons will pay for their arrogance, I will be their master, I will be their god! ”

"This will be my destined path to godhood! No one can stop you! Can't be stopped! ”

"Let him run! Bastard! ”

Reed. Blackhand waved his longsword, and behind him, the Swordmaster of the Fireblade Clan and the orcs of the Blacktooth Laughing Clan were besieging the three-headed Hellfire Demon, while his younger brother Maim. The Black Hand carried the hammer on his back, and looked worriedly at Gul'dan and his retinue, who had sailed into the sea.

"Brother, what should I do? We don't have a boat anymore! ”

"We still have it!"

Red gritted his teeth: "In the sea near the wetlands, there is an orc ship responsible for monitoring the human fleet, we can take those ships to chase them, hurry up!" ”

The future heir of the Blackstone tribe looked at the sea in the distance: "We don't know where he's going, and once we lose their trace, this mission will be over." ”

On the other side, in the sky near the wetlands, Tyrion saw the ten fleets set sail, and he gestured, and the unmanned zombie dragon flying on the periphery roared like a meteor and smashed towards the fleet below.

"Let's say hello to our old friend Gul'dan!"

"Boom"

The moment it hit the fleet battleship, the zombie dragon brought back from Quel'Thalas exploded violently, and the disgusting flesh and bone residue completely covered the two ships, and the blood attached to the plague wrapped around the bodies of the orcs and ogres who were caught off guard, and the shock wave from the explosion shook the entire fleet of ships.

And the next moment, the death knight who fell from the sky stood on these two ships and began to kill wildly, and Tyrion could not be sure which ship Gul'dan was on, so he could only use this method of guessing.

"Damn! It's those Death Knights! ”

Gul'dan raised his head in the cabin, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"A bunch of haunted crumbs! Leave them alone, let's go! ”

Gugar, on the other hand, did not want to run away like that, and he called out to Guldan:

"They're on those two ships! (We can't give up those members, we don't have enough of them!) )”

"With them, they are cannon fodder!"

Gul'dan coldly opened the window and began to call out to the demons who twisted the void again, and a moment later, as the remaining eight ships sailed away from this area, a green meteorite fell from the sky and smashed into the center of the two ships, and between the scorching flames and the collision of the sea, it set off a crazy steam, like mist, enveloping the entire sea area.

The Hellfire Giant, who was struggling in the water, roared and climbed onto a ship, spreading the flames from its body towards the wooden battleship, and in an instant, it was completely ignited.

After all this, Guldan's face was gloomy:

"Get those trolls up and get rid of them, they don't know where we're going! Just get rid of them and we'll be safe... There's no need to waste time on these crumbs! ”

"No one wants to stop me from becoming a god! Even if it's death, you can't! ”
