Chapter 489: Gotik's Old Job
Days of sleepless fighting had exhausted the last of the Scarlet Crusades, and after repelling the Scourge they fell asleep despite the sordid of the battlefield, many of whom never woke up, not dying in the battle against the Scourge but dying after being saved.
As the commander of the Hand of Tyr, Marlan was far stronger than the average Scarlet Crusader, but after the battle, she was not much better off than the latter, and the more pressure Gain's strong people paid in battle, the more power was consumed, and Marlan was more than ordinary soldiers.
In her drowsy sleep, Marlan felt someone come to her, and she wanted to see who it was, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them for a moment.
"She hasn't woken up yet, and she has been in a coma for two days due to the consumption of the battle, and she will continue to be unconscious depending on the situation."
A voice unfamiliar to Marlan rang out, and the paladin struggled to remember that the owner of the voice had finally remembered his identity, the dark-haired man who had led reinforcements to rescue the Hand of Tyr.
"Then let's stay here for a few more days."
Another female voice sounded, and Marlan heard a little helplessness in her words.
Isn't this the female paladin named Scarlett of the Lothar family, the Hand of Tyr was saved thanks to the fact that she brought people to the rescue, but why was she full of helplessness when she said that she was helping the Scarlet Crusaders defend the Hand of Tyr, as if she had something big to do but was held back?
Marlan was strange that the Hand of Tyre, the resident of the Silver Hand Paladins, meant a lot to the paladins, and she didn't understand why Scarlett was in such a hurry to leave.
"Scarlett, there's nothing wrong with defending Tyre's hand, at least we can try to make contact with Marlan and see if she's still saved."
The male voice who spoke first made Marlan wonder, to see if he was still saved, what did he mean by this? Am I mortally wounded by something I don't even know about?
"But I'm scared, Leo."
Scarlett's voice trembled as she spoke, and Marlan knew it was a hesitation when she wanted to do something but was afraid that she would be disappointed.
What was wrong with him that made a paladin who should have a strong belief so out of shape?
Marlan became more and more curious, in her memory, there was nothing wrong with the battle of the Hand of Tyr other than that it was too expensive, how could she listen to Scarlett's tone and now her situation was very serious?
"It's all good things done by Ethan Lion and Banazal, but unfortunately we found out too late."
Leo's hateful words made Marlan's heart tremble, how could Ethanlien be involved with the Dreadlord in one place, this guy named Leo was clearly blaspheming the Scarlet Crusaders, and before Marlan's anger could burn, Leo's next words made her stunned.
"I don't know how many Scarlet Crusader brothers Isenlien has killed in collusion with Da Sohan, controlled by Banazal, over the years, and I also know that paladins like Marlan don't deserve to be treated like this, but you have to be mentally prepared, if she really can't save us, we can only let her be redeemed, no matter what, we can't let her become a lackey of the Burning Legion, and the Alsatian-style tragedy can't happen again."
Ethan Lien colludes with the Dreadlord Banazar, and the Grand Crusader Dasohan is a puppet controlled by Banazar!
Marlan was so shocked by Leo's words that she didn't know what to say, she subconsciously didn't want to believe what Leo said, but the problem was that a voice kept appearing in her heart, and this voice told her that what Leo said was true, this person was worthy of your trust, and you couldn't doubt her.
At other times, it would have been difficult for Marlan's strong will to be affected by this voice, but now is the time when she is mentally exhausted, and her resistance is too weak to be easily swayed by this voice. Therefore, Marlan did not angrily prop up her tired body to refute or even attack Leo, but just lay quietly and continued to listen to the conversation between Leo and Scarlett.
"The fall of Arthas is believed to be the result of the sorrow of the Demon Sword Frost, but the Dread Demon Lord Marganis is the most responsible. If it weren't for what he had done before the prince left for Northrend, how could Arthas have fallen so easily? The horror of the Dreadlords is not their strength, but their hypnotic ability to change people's hearts unconsciously, look at the current Scarlet Crusaders, is their kind of betrayal of the Holy Light formed all at once without a process? Scarlett, whether you like it or not, you can't deny what has happened. ”
At this time, Scarlett was silent for some reason, and Marlan only heard Leo's voice alone, no, not only Leo's voice but also another voice lingering in her heart, and under the influence of this voice, Marlan had an inexplicable sense of trust in Scarlett and Leo.
Driven by this sense of trust, Marlan began to constantly reflect on the actions of the Scarlet Crusaders, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, the Scarlet Crusaders' practices in recent years were gradually deviating from the teachings of the Light, from a slight deviation at the beginning to the current complete astray, not without raising objections throughout the process, but under the guidance of Ethan Lien and Da Sohan, all those who disagreed were rejected as dissidents.
As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Marlan unconsciously stood in the perspective of the bystanders' perspective on the behavior of the Scarlet Crusaders in recent years, and she realized that the Scarlet Crusaders were not far from the evil organization, if they hadn't been fighting against the Scourge, reminding themselves to fight against evil, I am afraid that they would have slipped into the abyss of sin by now and become a shameless degenerate in the world.
Things have actually developed to this point, and the Scarlet Crusade is already on the verge of becoming an evil organization?
Marlan panicked, and didn't know what to do for a while, when Leo's voice came to her ears again.
"Scarlett, you are a descendant of the Grand Duke of Lothar, you have a talent that is not inferior to your ancestors, and you have a strong faith, I hope you can take on more responsibilities. If the Scarlet Crusaders can be saved, you will lead them back to the right path, and if not, I hope you will make a choice - whether to let them die as warriors who fought against the Scourge of the Dead or become lackeys of the Burning Legion and be reviled by the world, I trust that your choice will not disappoint you. ”
Leo's words reminded Marlan, who was hesitating, yes, Scarlett is a descendant of the Grand Duke of Lothar, and she is now the queen of the kingdom of Araso, and if Ethan Lien really colludes with Banazal, then it is also a good choice to make her the leader of the Scarlet Crusade.
The more Marlan thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, but she didn't find her abnormality when she found a way out, Scarlett and Leo, as strangers who had only met her once and said a few words, had gained her trust so easily, Marlan was not surprised at all but took it for granted, which was really puzzling.
The sound of footsteps sounding away to indicate that Leo and Scarlett were moving away, and Marlan felt a wave of fatigue set her back into her sleep.
If Marlan could open her eyes, she would see that there were indeed two people in her room, but they were not Leo and Scarlett, as she thought, but Gotik and Leo.
"Master, the matter has been done."
Gotik wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Leo with a respectful expression. What Leo asked him to do was not easy, to control paladins like Marlan to hallucinate, even if Gotik studied dark magic and soulology, it was not so easy to do, fortunately, Marlan was exhausted by the Scourge Legion in the previous battle with cannon fodder tactics, and his resistance was reduced to the lowest point under extreme mental sleepiness, otherwise Gothik might not have been able to succeed. Of course, the Dormancy Crystal and the Sleeping Stone that Leo gave him were also important reasons for the success of this time.
Invading the other party's mental world and causing them to hallucinate like dreams was something he did every day when Gotik was still the eighteen Scourge powerhouses guarding Naxxramas, but at that time he was used to train death knights, and now he is used to deal with paladins like Marlan.
Seeing that Gotick had completed what he had explained, Leo carefully observed the situation in Lower Marland, and after seeing that the paladin was sleeping soundly and did not notice anything unusual in the room, he gave Gotick an appreciative look with great satisfaction.
"Let's go, Gotic, it's suspicious to stay here for a long time."
After Leo finished speaking, he walked out of the room first, Gotic followed closely behind him, and the dragon-blood guards in charge of guarding the two of them entered and exited Marlan's room as if they were not even paying attention to the blood elves who approached, with an attitude that there were no secrets here and were not afraid of being investigated.
This woman Liadlin really has no scruples about doing things, and she actually sent a few spies to check my whereabouts so blatantly, but how can these people she sent see the crux of the matter?
Ignore the few tails hanging behind Leo at all, these blood elves can't spoil their own business anyway, let them follow if they like it.
"Master, do you want to ......?"
Leo was good-natured and ignored the henchman behind him, Gotick, and a murderous intent flashed in the soul reaper's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Leo stopped Gotic's behavior, and his cooperation with the Blood Elves was quite pleasant now, and he couldn't afford to stiffen the relationship between the two sides for such a trivial matter.
"Ignore them, I'll settle accounts with her sooner or later. Now follow me to Scarlett, that woman will definitely be there in case I get into trouble with her. ”
Hearing Leo's words, Gotic dispersed the spells he had prepared, and if he was allowed to make a move, the blood elves would die quietly at some point.
A few blood elves who didn't know that they had already walked around the ghost gate were still following Leo, faithfully fulfilling their stalking mission.
