Chapter 978 Difficult choice: choose death for survival
Kel'Thuzad's guess about the Dread Lord's action pattern was reasonable, but Sharlayan believed that he had not considered it comprehensively enough.
"Indeed, no matter where the Nasrezim are lurking in their forces, their hearts are always towards their creator Denathrius, but..."
Saryan emphasized sternly: "The Nasrezim are not stupid, and they will not rashly act to reveal their true position."
"I speculate that the Dread Lord who sneaked into Lordaeron will try his best to adopt the best of both worlds strategy, which can not only deliver more souls to the warden, but also not arouse the suspicion of the fraudster."
Kil'jaeden the Deceiver was not someone to be fooled easily. When the eredar civilization still existed, Kil'jaeden was one of the three archons of the eredar.
Kil'jaeden, who had been in a high position and held authority for a long time, was already very capable and developed a pair of piercing eyes.
Even if the nathrezim were natural actors and spies, it would be impossible to openly work for the Maw's benefit without Kil'jaeden's eyes.
Therefore, even if those big bats have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, at least on the surface they will do a perfect job on the scene, making Kil'jaeden recognize that they are acting for the benefit of the Burning Legion.
[Oddly enough, Archimonde was very good at engaging in political struggles in Argus.]
[One of his most outstanding achievements was to slay his immediate boss, Thal'kiel, and replace him, becoming one of the three archons with supreme power in the eredar civilization. How come he turned into a brainless pollution when he reached the Burning Legion?
By?】
[It’s swollen, it’s quite normal if you think about it carefully. 】
[When you are used to using the simplest violent method to solve problems, why bother racking your brains to fight with the air? 】
[The Burning Legion has traversed the universe for tens of thousands of years, and there are very few planets that can cause trouble for their expedition. ]
[Even if there is, as long as Sargeras takes action personally, all problems will be solved. 】
[In this situation where you can push the universe without using your brain, it is not surprising that Archimonde, who has received powerful evil energy infusion, gives up thinking and follows Sargeras. 】
Among all the eredar, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde are the most special.
As two of the three archons of the original Eredar civilization, Sargeras hoped that they would lead the Burning Legion composed of demons, and condense these guys with chaotic nature into a rope, so that they could be completely used by Sargeras.
Therefore, Sargeras poured extremely powerful pure evil energy into them, causing their bodies to rapidly expand in size, many times larger than the normal eredar.
Facts have proved that Sargeras' decision was correct.
Although it was a pity to let Velen, the leader of the three archons, run away, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde's civil and military efforts did usher in a relatively orderly era for the once chaotic Burning Legion.
It is not easy to make demons who have their own way follow the established rules. Kil'jaeden and Archimonde are well versed in the strategy of sweet dates and big sticks, punishing and rewarding at the same time.
After a long period of hard work and the unbearable punishment after the mission failed, he finally allowed himself to be resurrected indefinitely, and the demons who were fearless were in awe.
This cruel punishment institution is the Xivalla Coven directly managed by Sargeras himself.
Almost no demon who has ever entered a coven can come out with all his beards and tails, and the Dreadlord is no exception.
According to the barrage, Varimathras, who failed many missions, was thrown to the Witches for severe punishment in the future of the original history.
This poor big bat had all its skin peeled off, and was tortured by the witches' endless methods until it went crazy and lost its rationality.
Unless absolutely necessary, no devil would want to enter the scandalous witch coven to receive punishment.
Therefore, when they perform tasks outside, they will forcefully restrain their chaotic nature and make completing the task their first priority.
Of course, chaos is the nature of demons after all, and there are many demons who cannot restrain themselves and let go of their nature during missions. The group of psychopathic destroyers in the witch guild will never lack materials for torture and fun.
With such a powerful deterrent placed on Argus, the few high-level nathrezim who received Kil'jaeden's mission and entered Azeroth did not dare to act recklessly.
To this day, the Knights of the Silver Hand, headed by Uther, have not been able to truly touch the core. The people they killed were all the bewitched people pushed out by the demons to block the guns, and they were all humans.
However, under the pressure of the Silver Hand, the chips in the hands of the Burning Legion are getting smaller and smaller.
Even so, through the intelligence provided by Kel'Thuzad about the Scourge, those big bats still had no intention of avoiding their attack, and seemed to want to take this opportunity to fight the Silver Hand head-on.
The Knights of the Silver Hand are the ace army of Lordaeron. To Zovar, who is trapped in the Maw and in desperate need of strength, the souls of these heroic knights are much more valuable than those of the Lordaeron nobles who have long since decayed.
Sarlayan's analysis of the Dreadlord's behavior pattern and purpose was very reasonable. Kel'Thuzad lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and basically agreed with his judgment.
"In other words, the Silver Hand and the vanguard of the Burning Legion are destined to have a battle in the King's City of Lordaeron?"
Sarlayan nodded: "Both sides have a high level of fighting will. If nothing else happens, this local conflict should be unavoidable."
"So." Kel'Thuzad asked calmly: "Does the Scourge have a chance to fish in troubled waters in this conflict?"
"Well." Sarlayan put his chin in his hand and considered for a moment: "I suggest that you follow the original plan and adopt the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, and slowly expand your power from the less defended border areas of Lordaeron."
"The centipede is dead and not dead. No matter who wins the battle between Arthas and Calia, the Burning Legion and the Silver Hand in the end, Lordaeron, which has abundant capital, will not be able to change quickly because of this.
collapse."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If Arthas, who is inexperienced and impulsive, takes over, the decline of Lordaeron will inevitably accelerate again, which will also be the plan of the Scourge.
A good thing."
"And if Calia wins..."
Sarlayan's eyes flashed: "You can persuade Arthas, who lost everything after the defeat, to join the Lich King's command, and use the bait of regaining the throne that belongs to him to arouse his ambition again."
[…It’s so sinister, you’re just catching Arthas and Lordaeron trying to plunder their wool like crazy.]
[I think there is nothing reprehensible about Sharlayan's actions. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. From the standpoint of Quel'Thalas, it is understandable to weaken the strength of powerful neighboring countries to a certain extent. ]
[And this can be regarded as restoring history to a certain extent, making the future that has undergone significant changes more predictable and controllable, which will facilitate further layout. 】
[But the premise of this plan is that Princess Calia can win this internal battle in the royal family. 】
[Haha~ haven’t you seen it yet? 】
[Xiao Sha said that he would not directly intervene in the battle between the two kings of Lordaeron. In fact, it is impossible for him to let Arthas, who has a grudge against Quel'Thalas and himself, take over. 】
[Let’s see, Caliya, who is currently at a disadvantage, should soon see a turn for the better. 】
[Get out of the live broadcast room pretending to be the Riddler. If you know something, you know it. If you don’t know it, you don’t know it. Don’t pretend to be arrogant and foggy.]
【...That's it for what I said, it's up to you to believe it or not.】
Sarlayan ignored the barrage of arguments and exchanges.
The barrage that caused the quarrel was at least right. With both sides exercising restraint, the scale of the internal fight in Lordaeron will not be too large, and the winner should be decided soon.
…
Originally, Sharlayan just wanted to confirm Stratholme's position through a meeting with the new Rivendell. Unexpectedly, Kel'Thuzad was so bold that he followed Baron Rivendell into the hinterland of Quel'Thalas.
This can also be regarded as a wake-up call to the high elves who blindly believe in the Bandynoril barrier.
People who have obtained the magic network access permission usually will not undergo a second review, which can easily allow some clever guys to find loopholes to take advantage of.
After Kel'Thuzad tried the law, at the urging of Sharlayan, the Royal Arcane Society, which was also aware of the seriousness of the problem, began to arrange a second review.
But that's all for later.
In front of the gate of Yanying Manor, after personally watching Baron Rivendell and his entourage enter the portal, Mattis sighed with a somewhat complicated expression.
"I have long heard that the contemporary Baron Rivendell has been frail and sick since he was a child. When he was a child, he was predicted by a priest that he would not live to be 20 years old."
"Thanks to the old baron asking the kind-hearted Archbishop Alonsos Fao to take action, Titus managed to overcome the first big hurdle in his life with great difficulty."
Sarlayan also took over the words with some emotion: "Alonsus Faol passed away a few years ago, and no one in Lordaeron can save Baron Rivendell when he next suffers from a serious illness.
He can only choose to save himself."
"It's just..." Sarlayan frowned slightly and looked at the cloudy sky just now: "Choose death in order to survive. Is it really worth it?"
