Chapter 613 29. The Doomsday Knell of the Cultists

Thassarian, this is exactly the lieutenant who picked up a dark blade infantry from outside Andorhal back then.

He died at the last moment of the Whispering Harbor War, pierced through the heart by Death Lord Yrel's death energy. He died like a true hero, but his fate did not end there.

The strange undead Lured who was picked up by him unexpectedly appeared behind him, locked his soul in his body with a rough soul stone, and then was discovered by the evacuated Death Knights of the Order, and Thassarian Brought back to the hiding place of the Order.

He was resurrected by the high-level knight Kurdilla Deathweaver. For a period of time after the resurrection, Thassarian could not accept the fact that he had become the most hated undead, but in a daze, he Access to the core teachings of the Order, that great creed full of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice.

Knowing from Koldira that beneath the surface of this world, there are many, many shadows that threaten the world, Thassarian found a new goal after returning from the dead... Although he hated the Dark Blade, Although he still misses the time when he was alive, but now, he is already walking on a road leading to an unknown future.

He had friends again, found an organization, and became a death knight specializing in evil aura. He also used the dead resurrection spell he had learned to repair the hidden wounds in the body of the undead infantry Lured, and concluded a pact with this weird infantry. contract of the soul.

"I said, do you think they're really coming?"

Thassarian was wearing a full set of armor, with a black hood covering his body. He carried two slender purple rune swords on his back, which were handcrafted by a master forge from the Black Iron District, and a black Yes, a shotgun glowing coldly in the moonlight, two loaded new-style hand cannons in the belt, and a bronze-colored bullet chain hanging across the chest, looking armed to the teeth.

And Koldira next to him was also dressed similarly. This high elf death knight had excellent vision, so what was carried on his back was a black sniper rifle and an elf-style heavy sword.

Facing Thassarian's inquiry, Koldira shook his head, and he whispered to his good friend:

"Something wrong... I suspect, they've come..."

"Um?"

Thassarian's eyes widened, and almost at the same moment, the fog in the mountains around the two of them near the Twilight Fortress suddenly became thicker, and 13 shadows slowly appeared in the dark fog, watching The moment he saw them, Koldira quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and whispered to Thassarian:

"It looks like it's Salein who came here...Maybe it's at the level of the Blood Lord. Don't talk for a while, I'll deal with them... These vampires have a morbid pursuit of etiquette. One sentence is wrong, There could be a conflict."

"Salain?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Thassarian's eyes:

"I have never dealt with them before. When I was a soldier in Lordaeron, I only heard of these blood elves. They seem to have never appeared on the frontal battlefield."

"Then you should be glad."

Koldira moved her fingers and explained to her companion:

"In the dark blade's war system, Salein is often responsible for pre-battle investigation and destruction behind enemy lines. They are natural spies and assassins, but because of their small number, they have never participated in major wars. But if it was you back then , if you met a Salein... then you must have been finished long ago, in the case of fighting alone, it is very difficult for anyone to avoid their weird bloody combat skills."

"The blood lords are even more terrifying. If they want, they can spread the blood plague to a city overnight, and with their blood-draining ability, even facing an army of hundreds of people alone, they can Leave unscathed, or... wipe out the opponent, never try to fight the blood lord with numbers, as long as you bleed, even if it's just a small wound...they've already won."

"How do you know so well?"

Seeing the 13 figures in front of him moving forward in the black mist in an erratic posture, Thassarian asked the last question, and Kurtira turned his head, looking at his friend like a fool :

"Nonsense, I used to carry out investigation and assassination missions in Dark Blade... I have seen more Sarain than you have seen orcs, you rookie, shut up now!"

After finishing speaking, Kuldira turned his head and looked at the 13 Salains who appeared in front of him. He coughed lightly, and just about to speak, he suddenly realized that the 13 blood lords in front of him were the same as the ones he had seen before. ..not quite the same.

They have elf-like ears, but they are not the short ears of the high elves, more like the long ears of the night elves, but their skin color is as white as the high elves.

"Highborne!"

Kuldira remembered the stories about the Elven Empire that he had read when he was a child, and he suddenly exclaimed:

"I thought you were extinct!"

The exclamation of the death knight made Mordant Eternal Shadow look up. The dress of these high elf blood lords is not the same as the blood lords of Dark Blade. , lined with blood-red lace decorations, and on both sides of the neck are raised collars, with the arms extended, the wide robe flutters behind, like a pair of black wings.

But their aura is very similar to that of Dark Blade's Salein, full of a low-key, luxurious yet evil, and corrupt sense. Under the silent scrutiny of these blood lords, Thassarian felt a faint chill, Beside him, Koldira organized the language, and he used the cumbersome etiquette of the high elves to talk to these high elves.

"The blood lords must be the emissaries sent by the Federation, and we, we are the representatives of the Order, and we will lead you to the Twilight Fortress to join in the siege of the heretics."

Kuldeira revealed his identity in a short language. Before his eyes, the blood-red eyes of Mordant Eternal Shadow blinked, and he said in a dark voice:

"Descendants of Dath'Remar... I have to say, your etiquette is terrible, but as you say, we are here for war, so... just skip the etiquette and take us to the battlefield, Syndra will send a "gift" to the Federation, starting tonight... the blood of the enemy will bring new glory to Syndra!"

"Blood, bring glory!"

Behind Yongying, the 12 Syndra blood lords who hid their bodies in the blood mist chanted in unison, and the voice made the dark mountainous area even more dead silent.

"The undead are attacking!"

"Release the Elemental Aberration!"

In this cold night, the first floor of the Twilight Fortress has been completely submerged by the Death Knights of the Order and the undead they summoned. They had no fighting power at all, and were hacked and killed by the death knights who broke into the fortress. After their death, their bodies were temporarily resurrected as temporary infantry driven by the death knights.

After all, only the Dark Blade Legion can extravagantly keep a large number of undead infantry and equip the infantry with enough weapons.

But how should I put it, these temporary resurrected corpses also have their uses... Between the first floor leading to the second floor, the elemental monsters released by the Twilight's Hammer roared out of the elemental gate, these The distorted and enslaved elements are taller, uglier, and fearless than ordinary elemental creatures. Driven by the cultists, these crazy elemental aggregates frantically attack the death knights who stepped on the stairs and their minions.

And just after the elemental monsters mixed with the walking corpses, the high-level death knights sneered and detonated the weak death energy in the walking corpses, and the newly resurrected corpses roared in front of them like flesh and blood bombs It exploded on the ladder, and the dissipated energy fluctuations broke the fragile balance of those distorted elemental creatures, causing them to lose control, and then exploded on the ladder one after another.

This is the tactic that the death knights summed up in the process of chasing down the cultists. The cultists of the Twilight's Hammer are not professional spellcasters. Before entering the very "promising" job of the cultists, they generally They are all third-rate thieves, bankrupt businessmen or simply useless drunks. They can't control these elemental monsters well, just like they can't control their new power well.

These monsters can be used to scare ordinary people, but in the face of professional soldiers like the Order, the deterrent effect of this thing is too much reduced. After the first wave of elemental aberrations exploded, Kurtaz and The two death knights led by Dathrohan rushed up the stairs, one on the left and the other on the right. These high-ranking death knights propped up their anti-magic shields and rushed into the group of panicked heretics like chariots.

"Run!"

"Death is coming! Doom is coming! There is no hope! Run away!"

"Ah!"

The death knights broke the cultists' lines with little effort, and the sudden attack caught the cultists by surprise, coupled with the sight of their former companions staggering forward, tearing apart the cultists with teeth and fingers. The flesh and blood of the cultists, this terrifying scene, made those cowards who had no will to fight could only cry and flee deeper into the fortress.

They're cultists, not fighters, so don't put too much faith in their integrity.

"Clear the battlefield and shoot freely!"

But they couldn't run away at all. The Order of Order is also an organization that has received the advanced fighting concept of the Dark Blade. The high-level knights wear enough firearms. The running cultists will only be shot in the back by bullets, and their corpses will become servants of the death knights.

This snowball-like defeat allowed the Order to completely clear the first floor an hour after the battle began, and began to build an advancing position on the second floor.

But the next battle will be very difficult. The cunning two-headed ogre Cho'gall, the dark and profound Twilight Prophet, the former Archbishop Benedictas of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the former Dragonmaw Orc Overseer, and now the evil mage Daga Shadowburner, these three bosses control different areas on the third floor of the fortress, and the people stationed on the third floor are all true loyalists of the Twilight's Hammer. Dying lunatics.

"Dathrohan, which side do you choose?"

Kurtaz wiped his blood-stained warhammer. He turned his head to look at the other lord. After being resurrected, the great knight Saidan Dathrohan still maintained his silent and stoic attitude. Facing Kurtaz To Ertaz's question, Dathrohan raised the black epee in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he pointed to the central passage.

"Benedictus... a bastard who hides himself, I'll find his bad luck."

After finishing speaking, the great knight took the dark horned helmet from Thassarian, buckled it on his face, and rushed to the central passage with nearly a hundred high-ranking knights, while Kurtaz turned his head to look at On the left, without much hesitation, he led the rest of the people towards Cho'gall's Corrupted Throne. As for the last path, the Order doesn't need to worry about it.

The group of bloodthirsty Syndra blood lords had already infiltrated the passage leading to the flame altar in the shadows. Their speed was the fastest, and these Salayins didn't like to cooperate with others very much. Wherever they went, there were only scalp-numbing corpses left behind, and now, they, who were full of blood, had already started a fierce battle with the leader of the orc cult in the deepest part of the third floor.

"I've heard of you, Salein!"

On the altar burning with strange flames, Daga Shadowburner, the once wise orc warlord, has long since lost his mind. In the whispers of the ancient gods, he has been transformed into a fanatic Dangerous lunatic, his face was tattooed with blasphemy runes, and between the dancing of his hands, flames like a storm of flames wrapped around his body, making him look like the god of fire.

He stared at the 13 Syndra elves entangled in the breath of blood with indifference mixed with fanatical eyes, and the orc shouted loudly:

"Assassins who only hide in the shadows and hand out bayonets... You don't have the ability to fight head-on. Now, you dare to appear in front of me... You don't even know what kind of new power the master gave me !"

Amidst his roar, three extremely distorted element aggregates sprang out from the light and shadow of the flames. From the thick arms of these guys, it can be seen that these weird things can not only use elemental magic, but are also very powerful. Good at crushing melee combat, it seems that the battlefield on the side of the Burning Shadow is indeed a challenge for Sarain, who is good at agility.

However... the one who appeared in front of him was not the Dark Blade's Salein...

"A fool controlled by power!"

The eyes of Mordant Eternal Shadow shone with disdain, and the power of blood surged around him, and the body of the Elf Syndra, which had been transformed by fel magic for thousands of years, began to make crackling sounds. The sound, amidst the entanglement of the blood mist, the aura of the 13 Lords of Syndra rose rapidly, and driven by the Burning Shadow, the three huge elemental monsters also roared and waved their arms, threatening to strike He slammed hard at Salain in front of him.

"kuang"

The moment before the arm dropped by the aggregate was caught by a thick arm with demon-like scales and dagger-like sharp nails, the collision of force made the surrounding air There was a ripple visible to the naked eye, and as the ripple dissipated, 13 Syndra blood lords who had completed their transformation appeared in front of the Burning Shadow.

Their transformation did not grow blood-red wings like the blood lord of the dark blade, no, no, they did not have an extra pair of wings, on the contrary, their originally slender bodies became strong, and under the bulging muscles Suddenly, the arm became thick and powerful, and even the legs became a recurved shape similar to that of a draenei. Against the backdrop of the short sharp ears and the mane beyond the scales of the whole body, it made the They look like a cross between a bat and a wolf.

Ugly, brutal, powerful, and weird.

Modant raised his head, his face was covered with red scales, he roared like a wild beast, under the joint force of the three blood lords, the element aggregate in front of him was torn apart amidst the flying shadows of blood Open the body.

While the elemental fragments were splashing, the blood lord Yongying moved his neck, swung his thick left arm, and hit the ground in front of him with a fist. During the release of power, Yongying looked at the Burner in front of him, and said softly:

"Stupid guy! Who told you...Salayne only has one form?"

I have to say that the classification of vampires in Warhammer Total War is really eye-opening.
