Chapter 126 Fear Is the Basis for Subduing Druchi
In the forests of Eden Valley, thousands of soldiers are constantly searching for traces of the Eternal Queen. Although there are some obstacles in these lush woods, they have the guidance from the chief sorceress of Grond. They already have a direction, Dorian. The general has promised that the first person to discover the Eternal Queen will get a mansion and hundreds of slaves in Nagarund.
Torches and magical lights are constantly interlaced. The sacred forest of Avalon has become no longer pure under the footsteps of these Druchi invaders. There are traces of swords cutting down trees everywhere.
In a clearing in the forest, two people covered with black cloth were surrounded by hundreds of druzis. The firelight shone on the two people, and they could only see the scarlet eyes of the leader, as sharp as wild beasts, with a shadow behind his back. He was holding a long strip-shaped object wrapped in black cloth and a black crossbow, and the slightly shorter man behind was obviously his follower.
"Who are you two?" A nobleman riding a war horse came out. When leading the soldiers, riding a cold lizard may cause some adverse consequences. After all, those stupid beasts will attack as long as they are not fed. All living things around.
The man with scarlet eyes looked at the nobleman wearing a crescent-shaped helmet, and spoke in a hoarse and low voice, "You are not qualified to know."
After hearing this, the Druchi noble looked at him suspiciously. This tone of voice was somewhat familiar, so he continued to ask, "The First Legion is searching for traces of the Eternal Queen. This matter does not require the intervention of others. "
He thought that the masked man in front of him was other fear lords who knew some gossip and sent people to snatch the Eternal Queen so that he could claim credit from the Witch King.
But after the noble knight finished speaking, he only heard the man who looked like Kane's assassin sneered under his mask, and then disappeared. He only saw a black shadow arriving in front of him, and then there was no movement. .
The "Shadow Blade" holding the noble's head stood in the encirclement, the short knife in his right hand was still bleeding. Then he looked around everyone with his scarlet eyes and said in an Elvish language with a Nagarond accent, "His Majesty Malekith is extremely dissatisfied with your progress, so he sent me out. If anyone dares to block the Witch King's order, this guy will die."
Seeing the bloody noble head, everyone else was a little afraid. This efficient and deadly assassination method reminded them of the most famous Kane assassin in Nagaros. Druchi was used to using fear and threats to suppress his subordinates. , this method of beheading at the slightest disagreement is also very consistent with the Witch King's style.
"Tell me what you have discovered." The "Shadow Blade" holding the bloody head continued to speak, not caring at all about the blood falling on his feet.
A man who seemed to be a noble adjutant came out and kept the standard distance between a noble and a civilian Xisuan from the "Shadow Blade", which is the distance of seven point two meters between the three swords. "My lord, the one who captured Avalon this time" The task is given to the First Legion by the Witch King with full authority, and we need to know everyone’s identity.”
His meaning was obvious. Since it was the Witch King's order, there must be relevant tokens. Otherwise, it would be impossible to let the person in front of him go. The First Legion could not let go of any clues.
"Shadow Blade" took out a stone crow amulet from the black cloth and threw it to the adjutant, and said, "If you were in Nagaroth, your suspicion would have allowed me to sacrifice you to my lord."
The adjutant stretched out his hand to take the amulet from mid-air and examined it carefully. The unique inscriptions and magic fluctuations on it were obviously from the Black Tower of Nagarond. Only General Dorian in the First Legion had similar things.
Knowing that the person in front of him should be the assassin specially sent by the Witch King to search for the Eternal Queen, the adjutant did not dare to say anything. If what he said just now was still out of duty, but now that the Witch King's tokens have been taken out, he continued to interrogate the person who was " The head in the hands of "Shadow Blade" was his fate.
So he asked the people next to him to give the Stone Crow Talisman to the Witch King's special envoy. Staying away from these dangerous assassins was one of Druchi's survival rules. The adjutant lowered his head and said, "Sir, the Eternal Queen is in the northwest area. We Search efforts are ongoing.”
He made a trick, but did not explain the existence of the dragon lord. If the Witch King's envoy captures the Eternal Queen, the First Legion may not be punished, but there will definitely not be any reward. The slaves captured from Avalon and wealth will be taken away by the Witch King, let this assassin try the power of the dragon lord. It is best if both sides are seriously injured, and the first legion is responsible for finishing.
After taking the amulet, "Shadow Blade" narrowed his scarlet eyes and looked at the adjutant, and said in a cold tone, "You are hiding some information."
The adjutant looked a little nervous when he heard this. He didn't expect that the man in front of him would notice his little thoughts so quickly. When he was about to explain, he heard him say, "But it doesn't matter. You losers can only use some small tricks." Only with the mind can you have the qualifications to live.”
"Shadow Blade" used the hook at his waist to pass through the neck of the Druchi noble in his hand, then walked towards his companion and said, "Let's go, Wollaston, staying here is just a waste of time."
After Shadow Blade opened his mouth, the shorter Wollaston nodded in agreement, took the Druzi head caught with a hook, put it on his waist as a trophy, and walked towards other places after the encirclement dispersed. .
The adjutant was thinking about how to handle this matter. His boss had a close relationship with Dorian. If he knew that his boss was dead but he survived, the subsequent punishment would not be so easy to bear.
After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea. As long as he followed these two assassins to find the Eternal Queen, and then killed these two people, he would be able to take all the credit. After making up his mind, he ordered his men to start tracking.
"Give me that head." Imrik, who transformed into the "Shadow Blade", said to Alarielle next to him. These Druzi really have a lot of ideas. Even if they cut off the leader's head, they still dare to Keep up.
Alarielle handed the head to the Dragon Prince from her waist with some disgust and asked, "How did you come up with such a thing?"
He casually threw his head not far behind him, giving a hint to those Druzi who dared to follow. Imric said, "Druqi will only obey those who make them fearful. You are more vicious than them." , will be more like a Druchi."
Alarielle nodded as if she understood, and then said, "Next, we just go to the port directly. As long as we find a ship, we can leave Avalon."
"Is there any way you can send a message to Lilaze in the Eternal City, asking them to evacuate to Saffrey and just wait there to die?"
After hearing this, Alarielle paused for a while, thought for a while, and said, "I can pass the news to Lila Ze through a small Aisha ceremony, but it will take some time to prepare, and it can only be done in Aisha." In the land of Wallonia.”
Tal Eternal City, according to Imric's inference, the maids headed by Lilaze should still be resisting Druzi's attack. The people of the Eternal Rock can evacuate by boat, but the maids are the ones who protect the Eternal Queen. It is impossible for them to evacuate the Eternal City due to their responsibilities. They should be sending people into the Eden Valley continuously in an attempt to rescue Alarielle.
Although the maids have nothing to do with him, their combat effectiveness cannot be overemphasized, and he does not want Alarielle to be a mere commander when she rebuilds Avalon.
"We'll do this when we get to the port. Leaving here is the most important thing now."
PS: Druqi is a variant of the Elvish language Eltharin, mixed with part of the Chaos language, called Druhir. However, this part of the Chaos language is often used when discussing magic. The language used by high elves now is also a simplified version of the original Eltharin, Tar- Eltharin, the wood spirit is Fen-Eltharin.
If the three spirits are not discussing some abstract concepts, they should be able to communicate without any barriers.
