19. Between the demons

"Darkan, that stupid bug, failed..."

Atop the icy towers of the Northlands, Tikdios, the First Lord of Nasrezm, stood alone atop the frigid towers, his gloomy eyes filled with rage.

The layout of Quel'Thalas was not a whim, in fact, after realizing the existence of the Well of the Sun, Tikdios had his heart set on this magical artifact, and in its opinion, it was pointless for Akmund to order them to find objects in Azeroth that would open the Legion's portal for the Legion to enter the world, because the Sunwell!

The treasure of the High Elves, the Sun Well, which exudes endless magic, is modeled after the Well of Eternity of the Ancient Elven Empire, and 10,000 years ago, Tikdios, who was only a High Lord of Nasrezm at the time, participated in that invasion as a commander, and he saw the power of the Well of Eternity firsthand.

If it weren't for the Salvation Alliance's efforts to blow up the Well of Eternity, the portal that uses the Well of Eternity as an energy source could even directly tear open the stars and let the powerful Dark Titan enter this world... In other words, the demons were really only one step away from victory 10,000 years ago.

Of course, there is no point in repeating past failures, but whoever wants to do something great must learn from their failures, and Tikdios thinks he is a smart man, so he has learned one thing from his past failures, if there is a chance to destroy Azeroth, then it must be done in one step, projecting a force that this world cannot withstand at once.

After all, this world is too evil... Even the Dark Titans are obsessed with this world, which is enough to show that there are many mysteries in Azeroth that the demons do not know.

In Tikdios's opinion, it was too slow for Akmund to take over and destroy the world with his legion as he had 10,000 years ago, and in its plan, the Well of the Sun in Quel'Salas, a poor replica of the Well of Eternity, was the key to the success or failure of the Legion's invasion.

"Stupid and stubborn guys, as long as we have the Well of the Sun, we don't need anything else at all, we can open a portal over Quel'Salas that is large enough for the entire Legion to enter."

The First Lord of Nasrezm stood alone in the wind and snow, muttering in a tone of indignation.

It had secretly discussed this bold idea with the fraudsters, but the fraudsters were noncommittal, and Tikdios was well aware that it was because the fraudsters feared that after Akmund's successful capture of Azeroth, the Polluters would have a higher status in the Legion than the fraudsters... This is the intrigue of the big guys.

This was a necessary precaution in the eyes of Tikdios, but shameful from the point of view of the Legion... Although it has long been in the hands of fraudsters, it does not mean that it is willing to be a dogleg, and in the depths of Tikdios's heart, it has the same expectation as Casanatyr that under its leadership, Nasrezm can regain its former glory.

But unfortunately, its status in the Legion is not important enough for the Dark Titan to put aside what he is doing and listen to its adventurous plans in person, so Tikdios can only come by himself, hide from Akmund, hide from the fraudsters, and make a backup for this invasion himself... Once Akmund failed, Tikdios decided that his chance to take the lead had come.

"But the stupid Darkan actually sent himself into a cage, how stupid this ** division must be!"

Tikdios scolded again, a very important reason why the Dreadlord needs Darkan is that the tricky Banty Renor Enchantment will greatly suppress the activity ability of low-level undead, although it is arrogant, but it is not arrogant enough to think that it can handle the entire Silvermoon City alone, those weird spellbreakers are very powerless in the face of Sarein, but they are out-and-out mage killers when facing demons who use traditional magic and evil powers.

Naturally, it was impossible for Tikdios to take the risk on his own, his idea was simple, he only needed to tempt Darkan to destroy the barrier, and the rest could be left to the undead under the command of the Lich King... Anyway, wasn't that what they were formed to do in the first place?

Let the brainless undead go to their deaths, and then pave the way for the Legion's victory.

But now, knowing where the Barrier Stone is, Darkan is in a cage, and it's all in vain.

"Tikdios, your compatriots are waiting for you..."

Just as the First Lord sulked, the Lich King's calm and hollow voice sounded in its heart, which made the First Lord even more impatient:

"Fuck off! Naozu, how many times have I said, don't just peep into my mind... Otherwise I'll make you pay! ”

"Huh"

The Lich King let out a chuckle:

"But isn't that what the fraudsters want me to do when they strengthen my mind? I repeat, your compatriots are all back, they are "waiting" for you, and if I were you, Tikdios, I would be ready to face anything, because their expressions, they don't look very ... Normal. ”

"Huh?"

Tikdios was awakened by the Lich King's aggravated tone, and he suddenly realized some not-so-good signs.

Nasrezm is a group of people who are cunning by nature, and it is almost their natural instinct to use intrigue to get their goals, so becoming the first lord of the Dreadlord is not an easy task, because you have to be careful at all times with those seemingly loyal and honest lords under your command, in the system of the Dreadlord, there is no such thing as "seniority", and there may be conspiracies against the first lord almost every day.

And if the First Lord is dethroned by a conspiracy, or dies, it can only mean that the First Lord is not cunning enough to command the entire group of Dreaddemon Kings, and the Second and Third Lords will not sit idly by and watch the first lord who has lost power return, they will only seize every opportunity to stomp on the fallen lord a few times, so that it cannot turn over, and then try every means to make themselves ascend to the high position of the first lord.

This is the social form of the Dreaded Demon King, which is cruel and crazy, but it can ensure that the race will always be ruled by the most treacherous and powerful Demon King, so as to ensure the continuation of the race.

The most proud thing about the current lord Tikdios is that with the help of Kilgardan, after the disappearance of the first lord Kasanatir, he sat firmly in the position of the first lord, and he has been sitting in that position until now... This is a testament to the evil wisdom of Tikdios.

But now, as Tikdios walked into the Tower of Darkness and saw the strange smiles on the faces of his companions, he realized that another conspiracy had begun against him, and the strangest thing was that this time, it didn't get the news in advance, which meant that perhaps the worst had happened.

"I asked you to find a strange object for the legion to open the portal, and choose a landing site for the undead to land in the northern frontier..."

The First Lord sat arrogantly on his throne, and as he looked at his companions below, he shouted in a shrill voice:

"Are you all ready?"

"Of course, we did it and got everything done, even better than you expected!"

The Demon King Bain Holler raised the black, heavy book in his claws, and just by swaying, the smell of magic emanated from the book, and the veteran Dreadlord of the Demon Lord also looked at his first lord with a mocking gaze, and after a moment, it deliberately raised its voice and said:

"And we found a perfect opportunity!"

"Perfect? What kind of perfect opportunities can you come up with in your mind? I'd love to hear about it. ”

Tikdios smiled sarcastically, the huge bat wings behind it slowly retracted, and it used its sharp claws to support its chin lazily:

"Say, I'm listening."

"Deselock, you found this opportunity, you say."

Bainholler took a step back, and behind him, the weakest Dreadlord did not hide the smugness on his face, he stood in the frozen hall and said smugly:

"Just this morning, the Well of the Sun in Quel'Salas had an abnormal energy fluctuation... I sensed the smell of conspiracy, so I took a trip to Quel'Salas myself and guess what I found. ”

When Desailok uttered the word "Quel'Thalas", Tikdios' magical heart beat half a beat faster, but it remained silent on the surface, and waved its claws casually:

"Don't sell it, Deselock, say it quickly!"

"Well, you've always been so impatient."

A hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the weakest Dreadlord, and it thought that Tikdios was deliberately suppressing it, but it did not show it, it coughed lightly, and said:

"There was a riot within Quel'Thalas, a Salein, a monster of the Darkblade Legion, in short, she attacked the town of Quel'Thalas, causing the death of thousands of elves, the Sun King used the power of the Well of the Sun to suppress her, and the best thing is that that Salein must have been an important figure in the Darkblade Legion, and the elves feared the revenge of the Darkblade undead, and transferred most of the army in the territory to the south... And the human army is also heading south of Quel'Thalas. ”

"That's what you found the opportunity? It simply doesn't make sense. ”

The more Tikdios listened, the more it felt that it was not right, and it was anxious to suppress this opportunity, because it sensed that it might be the only one who had discovered the importance of the Well of Eternity, but its suppression did not have an effect this time, because the other lords who had always stood with it in the past did not pay any attention to its meaning, but instead just crossed their arms and watched the scene as if they were watching a play.

And Bain Holler simply provoked the conversation directly:

"Pointless? Tikdios, has your brain been eaten by bloodsuckers? There's something in Quel'Salas, don't you think we don't know? Come on! The Well of the Sun! The elves don't have much military power to guard the Well of the Sun, and this is our chance! As long as we break through the defenses of Queldanus Island quickly, the most powerful source of magic in Azeroth will fall into our hands. ”

"Match this book! With the soon-to-be-arrived Scepter of Sargeras, we will be able to transport all the forces of the Legion to this world at once, to every corner of this world! Complete the occupation of this world in an instant! ”

The Demon King slapped the black book in his hand, and he said mockingly:

"Don't tell me you don't see this future, First Lord, that will make us doubt your evil wisdom..."

"The Scepter of Sargeras? Coming soon? ”

Tykdios's evil wisdom naturally needed no doubt, and almost immediately grasped the unspoken part of Bainholler's words, and it rose from its throne, and at the flap of its batwings behind it, it asked in a loud voice:

"What does this mean? What are you planning behind my back? The Staff of Sargeras has fallen into the hands of the Darkblade Undead, and with the current situation and what they have done in Draenor, they have proven that they are not the opponent we should provoke now! What exactly did you do? ”

"Not us!"

Varimasas, who was watching this scene, suddenly spoke:

"It's not us! Tikdios, is "it"! You should ask, what does it do! ”

"It?"

The First Lord, aware that his fellow citizens were united by another fellow, made it feel a frenzied surge of malice, and it stared at Varimatas and Bainholler, and asked in a shrill voice:

"Who is it? How did I not know that the Legion had sent other Precursors to this world? Or is it... Ladies and gentlemen, you betrayed the Legion? ”

"Bang"

The moment Tikdios' skeptical voice fell, the door to the frozen hall was pushed open, and a whole team of heavily armed Frost Viku and a Crypt Lord stepped inside, and the Lich King's deep voice rang out through the hall:

"Who? Who betrayed the Legion? ”

"Betrayers, there is only one way to die!"

"Get out!"

Tikdios secretly observed the expressions of his companions, and after a moment, he shouted loudly:

"Get out of here your dead people! Naozu, this is not something you should meddle in! Get lost! ”

"Yes! Sir..."

Neozu very deferentially ordered the most powerful undead under his command to leave, and after the hall was calm again, Tikdios had regained the initiative, and the Lich King's divine cooperation made it very satisfied, which was obviously a quiet reminder to its restless compatriots that the most powerful gun was now in his hands.

And this action did make the faces of the Dreadlords change slightly, and after a moment, Bain Holler said with some reluctance:

"Casanatyr, you said it betrayed the Legion, let's get rid of it, but it didn't, it has been lurking in Azeroth, gathering intelligence for the Legion, and it was also it that made a suggestion to let us modify the Legion's landing plan... To show its loyalty, it took on the most dangerous mission of all, stealing the Scepter of Sargeras from the Darkblade... And, we've figured out what the hell it's been doing for hundreds of years, and frankly... It was a humiliating experience indeed. ”

"So you're on my side because of it?"

Tikdios' eyes narrowed sharply when he heard the name "Casanatyr", and he understood who the challenger was, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I thought you had obeyed my orders to get rid of it, but I didn't expect it to turn against my compatriots, and the former First Lord was really powerful... Hehe, please tell it that it had a great plan, but now, it's mine... It's not the only one who has noticed Quel'Thalas, I've been there for a long time, and I'll do it all by myself without you! ”

", send all the plague cauldrons to the North, you have 10 days to complete this task, and then have Kasanatir come to me... I have a lot to say about it. ”
