Chapter Ninety-Ninth Cursed God Cult and Dread Demon King (1)
Diesel had mixed with Kel'Thuzad a long time ago. When Kel'Thuzad was still a living person, he had been persuaded by Kel'Thuzad and took the initiative to join the Cult of the Damned created by the other party, and soon He became a middle-level member of a small size.
His current status in the Cult of the Damned is probably at the upper-middle level. Generally speaking, he is in a very awkward position. Important things or beneficial things are basically not his turn for the time being. With his current position, he doesn't need a member of his status to do those trivial things in the sect. Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about small things, and he doesn't have a part in big things!
In fact, Diesel was originally a middle-level mage who studied in Dalaran. He has good magic skills and talent. As long as he is willing to get his qualifications in Dalaran and work hard to improve his spell level, then, As long as he does not perish along with Dalaran in the future, he must have a bright and bright future!
However, he is not satisfied with what he has obtained and what he is about to obtain. In his opinion, those things that seem to be easily obtained by him are far from satisfying his appetite! He is different from ordinary mages, he doesn't care about the fame, status, money or power that those stupid mortals pursue!
In Diesel's view, as a short-lived mortal race, whether it's fame, status, money or rights, they are all just a dream in the mirror. It's just a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain...
Look at the Archmage Antonidas in Dalaran, is he really powerful? It has almost reached the limit of what humans can achieve! But so what? The archmage is also very old now, how long can he live? ten years? Or twenty years? After all, he still can't escape the shackles of a mortal's lifespan, and he can only live to be more than a hundred years old at most, and he will be finished by then! At that time, wouldn't everything he has gained now be turned into dust with him?
Let’s look at the first human kingdom in human history—the Arathor Empire. The wise and mighty Emperor Thoradin is considered amazing, right? One emperor through the ages! But so what? now what? The small sapling in front of his grave has grown into a towering tree that cannot be hugged by several people, and the number of annual rings of that tree is estimated to be countless! Isn't the emperor dead? Up to now, the human empire he built has been divided for countless years!
On the contrary, the high elves of the same period as Emperor Thoradin, their Anastarian? King Sunstrider of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, have lived until now! If it weren't for the death knight Arthas who led the undead to attack Quel'Thalas a while ago, they would definitely be able to continue to live well!
Look, that's at least a few thousand years of lifespan. For the short human life, this is almost eternity!
This is what Diesel wants to pursue! This is what he envies, envies, and hates! Therefore, what he wants most is: eternal life!
As long as he has eternal life, whether it is power, honor, status, money or others, Diesel can slowly get it. So, back then, when Kel'Thuzad only showed him the tip of the iceberg of the road to eternal life, he immediately fell completely!
When he was in the Sect of the Damned, Diesel was undoubtedly a fanatical and loyal believer, otherwise he would not have climbed to the middle level of the sect very quickly. However, what no one knows is that in his heart, no matter what kind of shit Lich King, Kel'Thuzad, the leader of the sect, or Arthas, the king of the kingdom of the dead, he showed them His loyal fanaticism is all fake, and he treats those people very dismissively!
What he is really interested in is always the one that seems to be available immediately - eternal life!
Therefore, the reason why he is still living as a living person,
Serving the Cult of the Cursed, which is now the Scourge without complaint or regret, even if he would not hesitate to take the blood of countless people, what is he doing for it? It is for the chance to retain the independent consciousness and transform into a lich, just like Kel'Thuzad!
However, the Scourge he served in doesn't seem to be as smooth sailing as it was at the beginning!
A few days ago, Diesel had heard from other sect members that the death knight Arthas, his attack on Quel'Thalas did not seem to be going well!
Although they finally conquered the kingdom of the high elves, killed their army and king, also laid down the Sunwell, and successfully revived Kel'Thuzad! However, I heard that when they attacked Silvermoon City on their way back, they were completely blown up by the secret magical weapons of the long-eared high elves...
The army of hundreds of thousands of undead was destroyed in an instant. In the end, they didn't even care about the remaining undead army scattered in other places in Quel'Thalas, and the two of them teleported back to the castle of Lordaeron in such a desperate manner. It is said that both of them suffered serious injuries, and it took several days of hard work and a batch of precious materials to recover.
It is precisely because of the heavy losses of the undead army that recently, many main undead Scourge legions in Stratholme, Andorhal, and Lordaeron have been dispatched to the main city of Lordaeron. It is said that it is to wipe the ass of Alsace and Kel'Thuzad, and prepare enough troops for them to assist them in completing a mission that seems very important!
However, these things have nothing to do with Diesel now. He is still just a middle-level member of the Cult of the Cursed God. He can only listen to the plans of the big bosses above, and he has no part in it! Now, he only needs to concentrate on completing his investigation mission!
Originally, Diesel didn't need to do the dangerous job of scouting the enemy's situation by himself! It was only because of his bad luck that he lost a large number of troops and was punished by his superiors, so he had to take such a risk!
It was a few days ago, that unbearable day, when he was ordered to lead a part of the undead army to wipe out the remaining living people in the eastern region of Lordaeron, and when he was replenishing the undead soldiers, he suffered the first fiasco in his life!
Just outside a canyon, the army of undead led by Diesel was beaten to pieces by a huge stone giant who suddenly rushed out and was still full of fire! In the battle that day, not only did he almost lose his life, but he also lost an army of more than two thousand undead!
It was precisely because of this that he was severely reprimanded by the fearful demon king who was in charge of the affairs of the eastern region. In the end, he was ordered to return to the canyon where he suffered a disastrous defeat, and risked mixing with human refugees. In the shortest possible time, we can clearly detect the huge lava giant who suddenly appeared to attack their undead, and the red monster similar to Naga that appeared behind! Find out what kind of existence they are, and why do they help humans? Why attack the undead again?
Now, the day after Diesel had infiltrated the canyon, he was almost done scouting.
He already knew now that in this grand canyon that was originally a lumber mill, apart from about 3,000 human refugees and a few scattered soldiers from Lordaeron, there is also a fire elemental gang that is said to be the Kingdom of Flame! What shocked Diesel was: these fire elemental monsters are all elite existences above high level! And that giant lava giant, which was so huge that he lost his troops, was actually a lord-level monster?
In just two days after Diesel dived into the canyon, these fire elements built three flame portals one after another. These gates are similar to the gates of darkness, but with raging flames, thousands of high-level elites can be sent to them every day with fire elements! Although quite a few of them are fire demons, there are also some fusion dogs, or lava giants who are much shorter than that of Alturk, and a large number of small and medium-sized Balrogs. In the end, he also found dozens of flying, huge and terrifying Golden Firehawk?
So, when he saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore!
Diesel felt that he must report back the news here as soon as possible! Otherwise, if their fire elements are allowed to continue to grow and develop like this, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with the Scourge by then.
After all, who knows how many more they can summon? Let's see, there are more than 3,000 fire elements in this Grand Canyon now! For this reason, they also specially burned a large area of the forest and re-established another camp of fire elements.
It is said that they also want to build a small palace for their queen? It's the one that Diesel saw in the distance, on that rocky hill that started construction! What surprised him the most was: the way their fire elements build palaces is to melt rocks directly and then use magma to pour them? If they use this construction speed to build a defensive castle outside, I am afraid that the army of millions of undead will have nothing to do with them, right?
The most important thing is that what they are doing now, the fire element, is building a palace and calling an army. This is obviously a clear rhythm that they don't plan to leave again!
If they really plan to stay here and never leave, then the Scourge must be the first to bear the brunt! Take a look, they are getting along with real human beings now, and Qiu has done nothing wrong! But when they killed the undead, they were merciless. This is obviously a different treatment. This is obviously a group of extremely evil organizations that hate their undead! Can Sedil, who is a member of the Scourge, not panic? In the event of a natural disaster in the future, he must be the one to be liquidated! Therefore, he decided that he had to go back and report to the higher authorities immediately, and he could not drag on like this any longer.
……….
Stratholme, a former municipal masonry castle, sneaked out from what is now called Flame Canyon under the pretext of going out to find food, Diesel quickly summoned a death steed, and used As fast as he could, he rushed back to Stratholme day and night. Now this city is the command center of the undead in the eastern region of Lordaeron. The high-level Scourge Legion in the vicinity are usually here, for example: those Dreadlords who seem to be very difficult to mess with?
After entering Stratholme, Diesel didn't even bother to rest for a while, and directly left the undead horse and plunged into the depths of the castle. He must report to the senior management the information he has obtained from the investigation in the past two days as soon as possible!
If possible, he also hopes to use this important information to offset his previous guilt of losing a large army of undead. Thinking of this made Diesel angry! The death knight and Kel'Thuzad lost hundreds of thousands of undead army, and they didn't see any punishment. Why should he be beaten to the end after losing more than two thousand? Is the Scourge still unreasonable?
...
"Dear Lord Balnazar, the villain has returned from investigation..."
After walking into a dark and dim stone room, Diesel whispered to a shadow inside by the flickering firelight on the wall.
Every time he came to this room, he could always feel a huge sense of oppression. It was a feeling of putting his own life under the hands of others. It was very uncomfortable! As if the rabbit was facing a ferocious lynx, he could almost feel every cell in his body trembling!
"Oh? So it's you, a little bug. Hey, tell me, what valuable things have you found in the past few days? If it makes me dissatisfied, maybe I should turn you into a worm." A ghoul? Or a part of the abomination?" In the darkness, the shadow with a huge outline slowly stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Balnazar has been very unhappy recently, and he is in a very bad mood now! Because, that incompetent idiot knight named Arthas almost ruined their Burning Legion event!
That idiot not only wiped out hundreds of thousands of undead troops in Quel'Thalas, but also almost caused the Burning Legion to lose an extremely important pawn! That idiot actually made Kel'Thuzad, who had just been resurrected, almost die in Silvermoon City again!
Because of this incident, not only was the Dreadlord they were in charge of planning severely reprimanded by Lord Archimonde, but the original plan to attack Dalaran within these two days was completely bankrupted! Because, after summing them up, they found that the army of the undead natural disasters would actually be insufficient in number!
You know, in their original plan of the Dreadlord, Arthas marched northward, destroyed the kingdom of the high elves, resurrected Kel'Thuzad, replenished a large number of undead troops, and then led the army back directly! If it goes according to the plan, with the already huge army of undead, plus the newly added undead after Quel'Thalas was eliminated, they will be able to assemble an army of nearly two million dead! In this case, whether it is used to attack Dalaran, or to conquer the world of Azeroth after Lord Archimonde of the follow-up legion arrives, their undead army can play an extremely important role!
But now? That bastard death knight had such a big show when he went north, an army of hundreds of thousands of undead! But what about when we come back? Just him and Kel'Thuzad! And still injured? If it weren't for the plan to summon Lord Archimonde that required the efforts of the two of them, he, Bannazar, would have thought of splitting them alive!
Otherwise, how could he, Balnazar, come back to Stratholme now, and order the group of trash under him to go out and continue to gather the undead and attack the living? What is he drawing? Isn't it because the undead army is not enough for the time being?
"My lord, my lord, after I personally went in to investigate, I found that we may not be able to deal with that place called Flame Canyon now. The strength of their army... is really too strong!" With a trace of anxiety, Di Searle thought about it, and began to truthfully report what he knew.
"Oh? I can think that you are making excuses for your incompetence? Or maybe... you are trying to use these clumsy excuses so that I won't throw thousands of undead troops at you a few days ago Do you want to pursue the matter? Do you think so? Little bug?" Balnazar turned around, staring at Diesel, who was kneeling on the ground, with evil green eyes.
"No! No! No! My lord, the little one would never dare! The little one dares to swear in the name of the Lich King that everything he said is true!" How could there be thousands! Obviously only more than two thousand! Diesel was sweating profusely and swore to defend.
"Hmph! The Lich King? Ha, what a name! What is Ner'zhul? It's nothing more than a puppet of our Burning Legion! Forget it, you won't tell me this, you little bug Understood! Go on, I'm very interested now, in which canyon did you see something?" Regarding Ner'zhul, the Lich King, that poor creature trapped in the ice, Balnazar and the others The Dreadlord has always been dismissive!
"It's like this, my lord. After I sneaked in, I found that there are many powerful flame creatures in that canyon! Whether it's a fire demon, a lava giant, a fire eagle or a fire dog, there are at least three to five thousand of them now! Moreover, Their number is still increasing every day! Because they built three portals with flames, and now they are planning to build a fourth, bigger and higher! The most terrible thing is, those monsters are all high-level The above elite!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Diesel hastily told all he knew about the situation in one breath. These dreadlords are all moody stuff, and it would be a big loss if he really turned himself into an unconscious ghoul when he got angry!
"That's right! Also, they seem to claim to be from some kind of flame kingdom, and they have a common queen, what's it called... right! It's called the Flame Queen! And what's more strange is that their queen is actually a A little human girl! Those powerful flame creatures all listen to her alone!"
"Oh? Flame army? Portal? Are they all high-level? Hey! Or a human flame queen? Hey! This is a bit interesting!"
For these powerful flame creatures that suddenly appeared, Balnazar finally felt a little interested. It turns out that they are all high-level troops. I am afraid that only the Burning Legion has this kind of confidence, right? What is this Kingdom of Flame? It looks like it has a lot of background!
"Little bug! I need you to do one more thing now. As long as you can finish it, I won't hold you accountable for losing those undead troops."
Balnazar suddenly thought of a good idea. Perhaps, the issue of their lack of undead troops will be resolved soon? Thousands of tens of thousands or more high-level flame army, just thinking about it makes him excited!
"My lord, please tell me!"
Seeing this huge figure coming out of the darkness and walking in front of him, Diesel quickly lowered his head, only trembling, until the pair of huge hooves of the opponent stood in front of him, and the dim Huge wings in light and shadow.
"I want you to find a way to send someone to sneak into their queen's side! Can you do it?" If Balnazar wants to implement his plan, he must have a chess piece that sneaks into the opponent's side .
"Minding around that little girl? My lord, that's not okay! There are only those flame creatures around her, and no one else, whether they are humans or undead, can't get close to her! Those palace guards are all the most elite fire demon soldiers. They are almost at the level of a small lord, if we casually lean over, it is no different from sending us to death!"
"Then what's the use of you if I need you?" Seeing how useless this little bug was, Banazar was furious, raised his hand, and grabbed a ball of green light under his ferocious claws.
"Wait! My lord, please spare me! Let me think about it... that's right! There is a solution! Before I left, I heard that the palace built by the fire demon for their queen was ready. They Planning to recruit a group of human maids for the Flame Queen, maybe we can...?"
"Idiot! Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and make arrangements?" The Dread Demon King narrowed his eyes and kicked the stupid human being away.
"By the way, take this communication gem with you. After your people successfully sneak in, remember to send me a message. I will send it over at that time. This matter must be done as soon as possible! Otherwise... hum!" When he got up to leave, Balnazar called to him, and then contemptuously threw a green developing gem for communication.
"Yes! Yes! The little one is going right now!" Picking up the gem, Diesel ran out in fright. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
