Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1447 80. No, shut up! You are not a prophet at all!

Compared with the last meeting at the Northshire Monastery, when they met Lothar again this time, the remaining human aura of the Lich King had disappeared, replaced by a heavy aura.

Most people would describe it as "majestic".

But in the eyes of the pirates, this complex temperament is not just due to the change in Lothar's mentality, but also related to the war he is currently in.

There can be no gentleness in the man who is commanding the killing of the Legion.

Just below the cliffs before Braike's eyes, the dead spirits of Shandarari from Crystalsong Forest have been fashioned into an army of ghost hunters under the command of His Majesty the Lich King.

These high elves, who died tragically in the cold wind of the north, could not be freed from the magic curse after their death. After thousands of years of wandering in their former homeland, their dead souls were finally awakened from the daze of chaos.

Although Lothar asked them to wake up, it was just to "speed up" the war he was waging with the Drakkari trolls.

"What a majestic army, my lord."

Bu Laike stood beside Lothar, looking at the Sandara Wraith Legion marching on the cold land below with him, he said flatteringly:

"These elves are not ordinary.

They even dared to attack and steal the treasures and knowledge of the blue dragons when they were unable to resist the erosion of magic addiction thousands of years ago. Although their adventure failed and their own civilization and city were involved, this failure cannot change my love for them. the opinion of.

The Sandara elves who can confront blue dragons are very powerful.

Most importantly, they are full of courage. Not only do they have the delicate faces and polite personalities that are the hallmarks of other elves, but they can do anything to survive when necessary. "

The smelly pirate coughed and said to Lothar:

"It's a really remarkable quality.

It's a very, very rare trait even among undead with no morale whatsoever, and you'll see how right it is to recruit these ghosts who have nowhere to go.

I've been advising Lord Ravencrest to send a Crow Knight to recruit them, but perhaps as fate would have it, this army of elf ghosts ended up in your hands.

It's always like that. "

The pirate pouted and said:

"It will always leave the best for a unique life like you, my lord, frankly speaking, I am really jealous. No one in my destiny has arranged everything for me in advance."

"Are you here to help me do things? Or are you here to complain to me about your failed life?"

Lothar, holding Frostmourne in his hand, asked back with a blank expression, which made the stinky pirate shrug his shoulders. He showed that weird sneer expression again, put on his pipe and exhaled a smoke ring, and then responded to Lothar. Speaking of:

"Before starting to deal with business, it is a matter of etiquette to chat with you as usual. If I talk about business as soon as I come up, it will seem that I am a bit too ruthless, isn't it? My Majesty.

You are of noble birth, and no one knows these red tapes better than you. "

"I am now a soulless undead, Bo Laike."

Lothar maintained the posture of leaning on the sword with both hands, and he said in a low tone:

"So don't try to win my favor by telling me witty words, you should know that there is only one way to make me like you, and that is to not waste my time!

Foolish mortals always think that time is very lenient with the dead, but it is not.

My time is limited after all, and I don't want to waste a second.

Speak, Bo Laike, of the news you have brought me, of how you intend to end the war your subordinates have with the Alliance fleet, of all that you have secretly prepared for this war. "

"Your Majesty, have you also become a powerful prophet?"

Bu Laike said with a strange expression:

"I didn't tell you that I came here because of these few things. You can guess so accurately just by guessing. It's really impressive."

"Stop flattering, it's pointless."

Lothar said calmly:

"You suddenly appeared in my war against the frost trolls, I didn't even need to think twice about your coming, you need me to stop my war for a while and join you in the attack on the alliance fleet?

You need me to help you with Frostmourne"

The Lich King paused, then moved his black gauntleted fingers and said:

"It's not impossible, but what can I get out of it? Laike, your dark wisdom must have woven a story for me, waiting for me to ask the question, and then you put it into it.

Speak.

Let's skip the red tape and get straight to the point. "

Lothar's strange reaction caused Bu Laike's eyes to roll wildly. He found that the righteous and slightly pedantic bald man in front of him seemed to become rational and realistic after his death.

Have to say, this is really good news.

It prevented Bo Laike from having to spend more time convincing the Lich King to accept his invitation.

So, after a few seconds, Laike spoke the words he had prepared:

"Didn't I just say that? Your Majesty, I have prepared for you an admiral who belongs exclusively to you. He can recruit and train ship sailors for you, and create a powerful sea force for the undead Scourge that matches the ground forces." .

This is what you need right now.

You don't think dumb undead crawling out of their graves are enough to conquer the world, do you? The undead natural disaster without sea dominance is too sad, it can only be reduced to a background board used by bad guys like Dai Lin to "make achievements". "

"If you don't plan to stab your father to death with your own hands and give it to me as a 'tribute', then there is only one 'admiral' you're talking about."

Lothar glanced at Laike and said:

"You mean the Alliance Fleet Commander, Marshal Barry Weswin?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is he."

Bo Laike coughed and whispered:

"Although he is slightly weaker than Dai Lin in the art of commanding naval battles and commanding fleets, in the current world of Azeroth, he is a real master of naval warfare.

He has all the good qualities of a naval hero!

He was born in Kul Tiras, served in my grandfather's fleet, grew up and fought with Dailin.

He would have a very bright future in Kul Tiras if he hadn't ended up choosing to join the Kingdom of Lordaeron due to some conflicting ideas and a pathetic noble title.

All in all, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who can match Admiral Barry Weswain in naval warfare.

Just look at how badly he has been beating my undead pirates with the toy fleet commanding Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas during this time, you should know that this old guy is a real talent!

You can't miss him.

And I have arranged everything for you, you only need to show up at the right place at the right time, and then swing that fateful sword, everything will be settled.

I got a victory, and you got the future of the Scourge. "

"But I still have to harvest that legendary soul myself."

Lothar said blankly:

"You told me Barry Weswin as a 'goal' rather than a 'reward', that is not a reward that I can get out of my hand, he needs me to fight, to consume time, to follow your request work.

In your words, you're empty-handed, Boo Laike.

If you really want me to seriously consider suspending the war against the frost trolls and instead fully aiding you, then you better speak with some sincerity. "

"Well, well, I just said the wrong thing, my dear majesty."

Under Lothar's "kind reminder", Bu Laike finally became a little more serious, and he whispered:

"Admiral Barry Weswin is not a 'reward', in fact, he is just an 'extra benefit' for your assistance trip, just like meat on hand.

It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not.

The reward I really want to offer is right in front of my eyes!

Of course I will not ask you to stop your own war to support me, this is too much, you also need to show your strength to those who pay attention to your existence, this is not something that can be handled carelessly.

But what I want to tell you is that I will help you end this boring war with the frost trolls, and I will help you kill the troll frost king Malak who has been hindering your unification of Zul'Drak!

Without that guy's leadership, a loose set of frost trolls will be defeated in front of your undead Scourge, and I don't even need to participate in the follow-up affairs.

As long as the Frost King falls, the frost troll civilization will collapse in an instant. "

"That's about the same. I seem to feel your sincerity."

The frosty, emotionless Lich King Lothar finally showed a slightly interested smile. He looked at Bu Laike with his eyes shining with the blue soul fire, and said:

"My Death Knight striker Yrel and my Grand Lich Antonidas have been trying to find the specific location of Malak the Frost King, and they are trying to perform a precise decapitation operation.

But we don't know as much about this land as those native trolls.

This has caused our military operations to be delayed again and again. As the frontline commander, Ryan has complained to me many times about the troubles caused by the lack of terrain and local intelligence.

Maybe I should sew Ryan's mouth shut so he won't complain.

Perhaps it was years of parting that made me selectively forget what a troublesome person Ryan is. He has been complaining since his resurrection, which really bothers me.

Or, can I pin my hopes of solving the problem on a true master assassin? "

"Then leave it to me, Your Majesty, and I am more than willing to do it myself."

Bu Laike grinned, and he said with a sigh:

"Maybe you don't know it, but more than two years ago, when I was a rookie, I made a fate prediction for His Majesty Malak by accident.

Seriously, I don't want to miss the moment of seeing him fulfill the prophecy with my own eyes.

I came to Northrend for this matter.

Oh yes, one more thing, my dear majesty. "

Laike and Lothar made an agreement on the goals and rewards of the two parties. Judging from the attitude of the two at this time, they are very satisfied with the agreement reached by the two parties and are preparing to implement it.

But before the undead pirates and the undead Scourge can really start working together, the pirate has one last trouble to settle.

He pointed to Nathanos Marris and Sylvanas Windrunner who were standing not far behind them, and said to Lothar who was manipulating the Undead Bone Dragon to fly in the sky and inspect the battlefield ahead from a high altitude :

"Those two cuties come from the kingdom of humans and the kingdom of elves. They are entrusted by their king, bishop and the people who will never leave you. They came to this desperate and cold place to look for you.

And trying to get some news from you.

Or say something in response. "

"I should have told you, Boo Laike, don't waste my time!"

Lothar said without looking back:

"Frostmourne has an insatiable appetite, especially these scented souls, which always make her want to stay. But for your sake, I can pretend that I have never seen them."

"Well, that's what I told them too."

Bu Laike spread his hands and said:

"But stubborn fools keep thinking I'm cheating on them.

They feel that in your heart at this time, the great man Lothar still exists and is still alive, and they can use some things like "truth, goodness and beauty" to call you back to the past.

You know how determined fools can be when they do stupid things.

So, instead of procrastinating on it all this time, my suggestion is, why don't we see each other, Your Majesty.

These two rangers are decent people with status in their respective countries. They have their own dignity and integrity. They will bring back to their respective countries exactly what they saw and talked about.

I believe that this information is enough to tell those hopeful rulers and people, and I believe that the answers can also make them realize the truth.

It's not easy.

But just like teaching children, they have to feel reality in order to grow.

Most importantly, if you refuse the request of these two respectable people this time, then the next time the idiots from the Eastern Kingdom may send you to look for them, they will probably not be so 'decent'.

I know you don't mind Frostmourne getting a few more vile souls, but why talk with weapons if things can be settled with words?

Meaningless battles delay the development time the most.

Are you right? "

The pirate's eloquence made the ruthless Lich King frown. He didn't seem to intend to waste time on this kind of thing, but maybe the pirate gave a credible reason.

In short, after ten seconds of silence, Lothar waved his hand and said:

"You convinced me again, Bo Laike, you are really good at persuading people in various situations, and I feel more and more now that it was really a mistake not to have you as my adjutant last time.

Perhaps I should break my promise once, so that you can truly be included in my camp?

And I think that after I succeeded in sneak attacking you, no one should fight for your injustice. Maybe my righteous deed of eradicating the evil pirates will make those who fear me start to praise my killing virtue loudly? "

"Your Majesty, what you say is too much!

Not even a despicable pirate would do such a damn thing, and besides, you don't think I'm so annoying, but I'm not a lone star.

There are so many people who feel sorry for me.

After all, who would hate a cute pirate who is smart, mighty, handsome and capable of doing things? "

Bu Laike obviously didn't care about Lothar's threat. Although the buzzing magic sword was dangling less than ten meters away from his eyes, the pirate was still steady.

He responded to Lothar's threat with an odd sense of triumph, beckoning Nathanos and Windrunner to come over.

Ace diplomat Bo Laike Shaw has used his own means to open the relationship, and now the stage is handed over to the doomed duo!

The stinky pirate coughed a few times and pricked up his ears while hiding beside him.

He really wants to see what kind of magical dialogue these two guys can have with Lothar, and what kind of strategy are they going to use to persuade Lothar to return to the great man state of "truth, goodness and beauty"?

"Lord Bu Laike, please don't eavesdrop!"

But the unknown duo also came prepared. After realizing that Bu Laike was going to eavesdrop, Cirvanas made a "no approach" gesture to him with a straight face, and said in a low voice:

"His Majesty the Sun King has specifically instructed you not to be present when I deliver his letter to His Majesty the Lich King and talk to His Majesty Lothar on his behalf."

"Hello, Marius."

Bu Laike said unhappily:

"Take care of your woman!"

"Well, Boo Laike, my brother, it's embarrassing, but I actually got a similar order from His Majesty Faol."

Nathanos turned back and said to Boo Laike in a tangled tone:

"Your Majesty told me that it is very difficult for others to ask you to do a good job, because your price has always been high. But you don't need invitations from others, and you will take the initiative to destroy things that you don't want to see.

This is already your trademark bad behavior in this world.

So, Laike, please hold off on this conversation until it's over.

I can leave with you for a while. "

Maris looked at the smelly pirate and said softly:

"I am personally on your side. I am very firm. I don't want you to be wronged like this."

"What kind of grievance is this?"

The smelly pirate grinned, waved his hands and said:

"I'm not interested in a cause that is bound to fail. The only thing I want to see is how you guys are going to waste your time on it, but since you're going to be so secretive about embarrassing things, then I'm going to Satisfy your miserable egos.

go.

Feel free to try it.

See how our Lich King will respond to you"
