19. Between Demons
"That stupid bug in Dalkan actually failed..."
Above the ice tower in the north, Ticdios, the first lord of Nasrezm, stood alone on the cold tower, its hazy eyes full of anger.
The layout of Quel'Thalas was not on a whim. In fact, after realizing the existence of the Sun Well, Tikdios became concerned about this magical object. In its opinion, Archmond ordered them to find objects in Azeroth that could open the Legion's portal to allow the Legion to enter this world was a meaningless thing in itself, because the Sun Well!
The treasure of the high elves, the Sun Well, which exudes endless magic power, was built in the imitation of the Eternal Well of the ancient elves empire. Ten thousand years ago, Tikdios, who was only the high-level lord of Nasrezm, also participated in the invasion as a commander, and he had witnessed the power of the Eternal Well with his own eyes.
If the Savior Alliance had not tried everything to blow up the Well of Eternity, the portal that used the Well of Eternity as its energy could even tear open the stars and let the powerful dark Titans enter this world... In other words, the demons were only one step away from victory ten thousand years ago.
Of course, it doesn't make sense to repeat the failures in the past, but no matter who it is, if you want to do a great cause, you must learn to learn from failures. Tikdios considers himself a smart person, so he learned something from his failures. If you have the opportunity to destroy Azeroth, you must be in one step and project the power that the world cannot bear at one time.
After all, this world is so evil... Even the Dark Titans are obsessed with this world, which is enough to show that Azeroth has many mysterious things that the demons don't know.
In Tiquedios's view, Archmond took the Legion and occupied and destroyed the world as ten thousand years ago, and in its plan, Quelthalas's Well of the Sun, a clumsy imitation of this Well of Eternity, is the key to the success or failure of the Legion's invasion.
"What a stupid and stubborn guy. As long as we have the Well of the Sun, we don't need anything else. We can open a portal above Quel's Thalas that is enough to accommodate all members of the Legion."
The First Lord Nasrezm stood alone in the wind and snow, rumbling in a tone of venting anger.
It had secretly discussed this bold idea with the fraudster, but the fraudster was unquestionable. Tikdios knew very well that this was because after the fraudster was afraid that Archmond successfully led Azeroth, the status of the polluter would become higher than that of the fraudster in the legion... This is the intrigue of the big guys.
This is a necessary precaution in Tiktios's view, but it is shameful from the perspective of the Legion... Although it defected to the fraudster very early, it does not mean that it is willing to be a dog-legged. Deep in Tiktios's heart, it also has the same expectation as Casanatire, that is, under its leadership, Nasrezm can regain the glory of the past.
But unfortunately, its identity in the Legion is not as important as the Dark Titan puts down what he is at hand and listens to its adventure plans in person. Therefore, Tikdios can only do it himself, hide it from Archmond and the fraudster, and make a backup for this invasion... Once Archmond fails, Tikdios believes that his chance to take the lead will come.
"But the stupid Dalkan actually sent him into the cage. How stupid this great wizard should be!"
Tikdios cursed again, one of the important reasons why the Demon King of Fear needs Dalcan is that the tricky Banti Renellor barrier will greatly suppress the movement ability of low-level undead. Although it is arrogant, it is not as arrogant as it thinks that it can handle the entire Silver Moon City alone. Those strange magic destroyers are powerless when facing Salein, but when they face demons who use traditional magic and evil power, they are perfect mage killers.
The life-loving Tikdios naturally couldn't take risks by himself. Its idea was very simple. He only needed to tempt Dalkan to destroy the barrier, and the rest could be left to the undead under the Lich King... Anyway, wasn't they just formed to do this?
Let the brainless undead die and then pave the way for the victory of the Legion.
But now, Darkan, who knew where the barrier stone was located, was put in a cage and all this was ruined.
"Ticdios, your fellow citizens are waiting for you..."
Just as the First Lord was sulking, the calm and empty voice of the Lich King sounded in its heart, which made the First Lord even more impatient:
"Get out! Ner'zu, how many times have I said, don't peek into my heart casually...or I'll make you pay the price!"
"hehe"
The Lich King chuckled:
"But isn't the fraudsters strengthening my soul just to make me do this? I'll say again, all your fellow citizens are back, they are "waiting" for you. If I were you, Tikdios, I would be ready for everything, because their expressions do not look very... normal."
"Um?"
Tikdios was awakened by the Lich King's aggravated tone, and he suddenly realized some bad signs.
Nasrezm is a group of people who are cunning in nature, and using conspiracies to obtain goals is almost their natural instinct. Therefore, it is not easy to become the first lord of the Demon King of Fear, because you have to be careful that those seemingly loyal and honest lords under your command do not have "qualification" in the system of the Demon King of Fear. There may be conspiracies against the First lord almost every day.
If the first lord is conspired to step down or die, it will only mean that the first lord is not cunning enough to command the entire group of fearful demon kings. The second and third lords will not sit idly by and return the first lord who is disobedient. They will only seize every opportunity and step on the fallen lord a few times so that it cannot turn over, and then try every means to get themselves to the high position of the first lord.
This is the social form of the Demon King of Fear. It is cruel and crazy, but it can ensure that the race is always ruled by the most treacherous and powerful demon king to ensure the continuation of the race.
The most proud thing for the current lord Tiktios was that with the help of Kiljadan, after the disappearance of the first lord Casanatire, he sat firmly in the position of the first lord, and sat firmly in that position until now... This fully proves the evil wisdom of Tiktios.
But now, when Ticdios walked into the dark tower, seeing the strange smiles on his companions' faces, he realized that another conspiracy against it had begun, and the weirdest thing was that this time, it did not get the news in advance, which meant that perhaps the worst happened.
"I ask you to find strange things that open portals for the legion, and choose a landing point for the undead to land in northern Xinjiang..."
The first lord sat proudly on his throne, looking at his companions below, and shouting in a sharp voice:
"Have you all done?"
"Of course, we did it all, and even better than you expected!"
The devil Bernholler raised the black, heavy dictionary in his claws, and the smell of magic came out of the book in just as he blew it. The old-fashioned devil lord also looked at his first lord with a sarcastic look. After a moment, it deliberately raised its voice and said:
“And we found a perfect opportunity!”
"Perfect? What kind of perfect opportunity can you think of in your mind? I'm happy to hear it."
Tikdios smiled sarcastically, the huge bat wings behind it slowly gathered, and it lazily supported its chin with its sharp claws:
"Tell me, I'm listening."
"Dershlock, it's you who discovered this opportunity, you said."
Bernholler took a step back, behind him, the weakest fearful devil did not hide the smugness on his face. It stood in the frozen hall and said with serene satisfaction:
"Just this morning, the Sun Well in Quel'thalas had abnormal energy fluctuations...I noticed the smell of conspiracy, so I went to Quel'thalas in person, guess what I found?"
When Desailoque said the word "Quel Thalas", Tikdios's magical heart beat half a beat faster, but it was silent on the surface, and it waved its claws casually:
"Stop keeping it aside, Desai Locke, talk quickly!"
"Well, you're always so impatient."
A trace of resentment flashed in the weakest fear demon king's eyes. It thought that Tikdios was deliberately suppressing it, but it did not show it. It coughed lightly and said:
"There was a riot inside Quelthalas, and a monster from the Dark Blade Legion. In short, she attacked the town of Quelthalas, causing the death of thousands of elves. The Sun King used the power of the Sun Well to suppress her. And the most wonderful thing is that Salein must be an important figure in the Dark Blade Legion. The elves feared the revenge of the Dark Blade Dead and transferred most of the troops in the territory to the south... and the human army is also heading towards the southern part of Quelthalas."
"Is this the opportunity you find out? It's meaningless."
The more Tiktios listened, the more he felt that the smell was wrong. It was eager to suppress this opportunity, because it realized that perhaps it was not only him who discovered the importance of the Well of Eternity, but its suppression did not work this time, because the other lords who had always stood with it in the past ignored it at all. On the contrary, they just held their arms and watched the scene like watching a show.
And Bernholler simply started to talk:
"It's meaningless? Tikdios, is your brain eaten by a blood-sucking bug? What's there in Quel'thalas? Do you think we don't know? Come on! Well of the Sun! The elves don't have much military force to guard the Well of the Sun. This is our opportunity! As long as you quickly break through the defense of Quel'thalas Island, Azeroth's most powerful magic source will fall into our hands."
"With this book! With the Sargeras Scepter we are about to get, we can transport all the troops of the legion to this world at once and to every corner of this world! We will complete the occupation of this world in an instant!"
The Demon King slapped the black dictionary in his hand, and he said mockingly:
"Don't tell me that you can't see this future, the first lord, that will make us doubt your evil wisdom..."
"Sargeras Scepter? I'm about to get it?"
Ticdios' evil wisdom naturally needs no doubt. It almost immediately seized the important part of Bainholler's words. It stood up from the throne and asked loudly in the slap of the bat wings behind it:
"What does this mean? What are you planning on me on your back? The Sargeras scepter fell into the hands of the Undead, and with the current situation and everything they did in Delano, they prove that they are not the opponents we should mess with now! What did you do?"
"Not us!"
Varimasas, who was watching this scene, suddenly spoke:
"Not us! Tikdios, it's "it"! You should ask, what it does!"
"it?"
The First Lord had realized that his compatriots were united by another guy, which made him feel the madness of madness. He stared at Varimasas and Bernholler, and he asked in a sharp voice:
"Who is it? Why don't I know that the Legion sent other pioneers to this world? Or... everyone, have you betrayed the Legion?"
"Clang"
The moment Tikdios's words were filled with doubts, the door of the frozen hall was pushed open, and a whole army of fully armed Frost Vicu and a crypt lord walked into it, and the low voice of the Lich King also sounded in the hall:
"Who? Who betrayed the Legion?"
"There is only a dead end for the betrayer!"
"Get out!"
Tikdios secretly observed the expressions of his companions, and after a moment, it shouted loudly:
"Let your dead people get out! Neruozu, this is not something you should interfere! Get out!"
"As for orders! Sir..."
Neozu ordered the most powerful undead to leave. After the hall had calmed down again, Tikdios had regained the initiative. The Lich King's divine cooperation made it very satisfied. This was obviously a quiet reminder of its restless compatriots, who is holding the most powerful gun in his hand.
And this action did make the faces of the terrifying demons change slightly. After a moment, Bernholler said reluctantly:
"Casanatire, you said it betrayed the Legion and asked us to remove it, but it did not, it had been lurking in Azeroth, collecting intelligence for the Legion, and it also made suggestions to modify the Legion's landing plan... To show its loyalty, it took the initiative to take on the most dangerous mission to steal the Sargeras scepter from the Dan Blade... and, we also figured out what it was doing for hundreds of years of missing, and honestly... it was indeed a shameful experience."
"So you are standing opposite me because of it?"
When Tiktios heard the name "Casanatire", his eyes suddenly narrowed. It understood who the challenger was, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I thought you had obeyed my orders to get rid of it, but unexpectedly, it turned out to instigate my compatriots. The first lord was really amazing... Haha, please tell it, its plan is great, but now it belongs to me... It is not the only one who noticed Quel'thalas. I have been there for a long time. In the next work, I will do nothing for you, and I will do it alone!"
"Get out, send all the plague cauldrons to Northern Xinjiang. You have 10 days to complete this task, and then let Casanatire come to see me... I have a lot to say to it."
Chapter completed!
