Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1935 63. Regarding this Grand Lich Promotion Ceremony, we have decided to use actual combat assessment

"boom"

On the uppermost floor of the floating city of creation, in the dark passage leading to the dome hall, the poisoned dagger in the hands of Marquis Akka Laike collided with the deadly blood howl wielded by Laohou and separated lightly.

The Lord Marquis wearing black battle armor was like a floating shadow, not only was not hurt by Lao Hou's fatal blow, but he also used the power of the battle ax to send himself into the shadow further back.

Just this skill of borrowing strength is enough to make Marquis the most troublesome enemy for a fighter like Lao Hou, who is like a bug if he jumps around and can't hit him.

But being bitten is even more heart-wrenching.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the Marquis of Akka Laike faced more enemies than Grom Hellscream in this passage.

The moment he fell into the deeper darkness, Kargath jumped out of the twisted shadow, shaking the flowing white hair of the dead, swinging the poisonous blade fist and sweeping the flying bone axe, criss-crossing The gap left several dangerous scars on the leather armor of Lord Marquis.

But that's not all.

The Marquis kicked Kargas away, and planned to back away from the battlefield again. As the deadliest assassin under the command of the military master, he knew well that the true meaning of assassination is not to kill with one blow, but to protect himself.

In many cases, assassins need to judge the situation, and the necessary escape is also part of the tactics. If you can escape safely in front of your enemy, it means that you can return to the battlefield when they let down their vigilance at any time.

Even if it is difficult to do this on a physical level, in their hearts you will often "come back".

This is one of the ways assassins use the weapon "fear".

The former Laike was very good at this, and the Lord Marquis of the Academy of Sharp Eyes is even better at it.

After realizing that tonight's assassination was just a trap to lure the enemy in, Lord Marquis has decisively decided to give up tonight's action.

But unfortunately, it is not so easy for him to leave when there are traitors inside.

"Go back! The old greenskin is waiting to chat with you with the axe!"

When the Marquis of Akka Laike rushed towards the exit on the other side of the passage like a galloping shadow, Fenna, who was burning with blue anger all over her body, roared and swung the giant sword of Taeshalach in her hand, compressing her strength to the point where she could not To the extent of destroying his beloved Floating Void City, strike forward with a courage suppression that cannot be dodged or blocked at all.

The blue anger mixed with the world-destroying fire attached to the Titan sword of Tassalach made the power of this blow shroud all the space in front of the Marquis Laike of Aka, and he couldn't dodge it.

This made the Marquis frown tightly, and the three compound eyes on his forehead blinked.

After feeling the actions of Lao Hou who intercepted him from behind and Kargas who was about to launch the next wave of backstabs, Lord Marquis opened his arms and threw himself into Fina's attack as if he was about to die.

His thin and slender figure was completely swallowed by the fire of anger suppressed by Fenner's courage in an instant, but only a dim shadow was shattered by the burning.

The real sharp-eyed Marquis had caught Fenna's momentary relaxation, and then her shadow jumped out of this murderous passageway as a springboard.

It's not so easy to deceive the two demigod warriors with this surrogate technique. The figure of Lord Marquis reappeared in a certain room on the middle floor of the Floating Void City.

He took a breath and planned to activate the teleportation to send himself back to the floating city in the Academy of Sharp Eyes.

But in the next moment, a thrown throwing knife accurately hit the teleportation runestone in the Marquis' hand, causing Marquis Akka Laike to turn his head and see the "Sharp-eyed Baroness" Ms. Dellaka who came in with a double axe on her back.

"why?"

The sharp-eyed Marquis did not lose control of his anger because his retreat was interrupted. On the contrary, he just frowned and looked at his most trusted subordinate in front of him. He said:

"I know that you were siblings with Grom Hellscream and Kargath Bladefist when you were alive, and you had some intersections, but you declared to me that you will not be affected by the memories of the past.

I also firmly believe that your iron will will allow you to complete your tasks perfectly.

I believe even more in the oath you made under the seat of the Lord of War. You have seen with your own eyes that your world was attacked by evil people as weapons to attack Azeroth, and you and your husband also died in such a disaster.

You understand the mission of the Academy of Sharp Eyes better than anyone else.

why!

Della card, why are you betraying us? "

Answering the question of Marquis Aka Laike were two soul battle axes drawn from his waist, and Baroness Dellaka bent down to prepare for the battle.

She looked at her marquis with complicated eyes, and said:

"Because, I remember my oath."

The Marquis of Aka Laike was also a little surprised by Dellaka's strange attitude. He asked:

"If you remember your oath, what are you doing now?"

"I'm fulfilling my oath!"

"whoosh"

Ms. Della card disappeared in place like a ghost.

The Marquis of Aka Laike instantly turned around to block, lightly lifted the two chopped axes, and tore up the shadow of the baroness with the kick, and spun and threw the death flywheel to abruptly interrupt the brewing feast of killing .

The two fought each other for less than two seconds, but they had already gone through several times between life and death. This kind of hand-to-hand combat is the most test of the skills of the assassins.

In the fifth second, Ms. Della's double axes were thrown flying, and a dagger was stuck in her chest, and then the Marquis grabbed her hair and threw it at the wall. Before she got up, she was thrown by the Marquis The incoming dagger scratched his neck and pierced the wall behind him.

"say clearly!"

Dellaka's neck was strangled, and she watched the Marquis of Aka Laike appear in front of her holding a battle axe, the latter's eyes and compound eyes on his forehead were full of questioning.

The baroness did not hide any more, and whispered:

"Because he wants to see the unity of Maldraxxus! The master of the army has not fallen, he sent messengers and brought back his own orders, and he even made his own successor.

He needs Maldraxxus to come into its most united age to right the biggest wrongs of the Shadowlands.

I saw with my own eyes the token of the military master.

I did not betray the Academy of Sharp Eyes, Lord Marquis, and I did not betray you either. I stood with Grom and Kargath only because I obeyed the command of the military lord.

The House of Sharp Eyes, which hinders the unification of Maldraxxus, has become a target that we warrior lords of the Deathsworn must eradicate!

That's all. "

"The token of the military master? No, I don't believe it!"

Marquis Aka Laike's eyes widened. He felt that this was completely unreasonable, and he really wanted to ask a few more questions, but he suddenly felt a gust of wind emerging from behind.

Then

"puff"

The blood-stained rune sword pierced through his back and pierced through his chest.

Blood covered the blade and was absorbed by the runes on the sword, and three of the five inscriptions representing the five secret courtyards were lit up so far.

While the Marquis looked down at the rune sword in a daze, His Excellency Bu Laike, who came out behind him, put his hand on the shoulder of Marquis Aka Laike, and he said softly:

"You should believe that all miracles can be born in the hot land of Maldraxxus, my dear Marquis Sharp Eyes, I have heard your story from my good friend Bingzhu.

Your loyalty is moving, but unfortunately, you are not suitable to be His successor. "

"I never expected that."

The Marquis of Aka Laike did not enter the dying state or was seriously injured because of being pierced by a sword.

People were already dead when they came to Maldraxxus, and now this body is only for the convenience of performing assassin tactics and carrying the soul.

He is not a living thing in essence, so naturally he does not have the weaknesses that living people have.

He was even in the mood to carefully discern some of the subtle features of the rune sword that pierced him. As the psychic marquis who had served the military lord for the longest time, he could tell that this weapon was indeed made by the military lord himself.

"Where is the master of Maldraxxus?"

The sharp-eyed Marquis immediately dissipated all his fighting spirit. He turned his head to look at Bu Laike. The latter curled his lips, pointed to his feet, and made another movement of chains binding and pulling.

Lord Marquis immediately nodded in understanding.

Sure enough, just like his worst guess, the military lord entered the Maw and fell into the prison of the warden Zovar.

"Can you save him?"

The loyal Marquis asked again.

Bu Laike shook his head and said:

"Whether he can be saved is not the point, but whether he is willing to leave is the problem. Didn't you hear clearly just now? Ms. Della has already told you that I came to Maldraxxus to elect the next military leader.

But I can guarantee that the old man you are loyal to will not die in a daze. You can even accompany him, as long as you can let go of the power in your hand. "

"It's never been a problem."

The Marquis of Aka Laike let out a long sigh.

He pressed the rune sword on his chest to withdraw the murder weapon from his body, and threw his sharp-eyed Marquis seal to Della card, who immediately left the room to stop the ongoing raid.

When only Bu Laike and the Marquis of Sharp Eyes were left in the room, the Marquis, who was playing with the Master Rune Sword, glanced at Bu Laike and said softly:

"You need the assistance of the Academy of Sharp Eyes, there is no doubt about it, I don't care who you want to be the next Marquis of Sharp Eyes, the only thing I care about is the words that the military master conveyed to us.

The so-called 'Shadow Kingdom's biggest mistake'.

You know, as the one who has served the soldier master for the longest time, I have occasionally pieced together some fragmented truths from my master's gossip."

"Seriously, you can ask Him yourself! I'm not responsible for answering any questions."

Bo Laike waved his hand in annoyance.

Although he was an assassin himself, he hated talking to a standard assassin and conspiracy master like the Marquis of Aka Laike. These guys were full of minds, and they wanted to hide hundreds of detours for every question.

Once he appreciated such wisdom, but now he is unwilling to waste time.

He said to the Marquis of Sharp Eyes:

"It just so happens that I also need a master who is good at intelligence work to help the small forces of the Maw. You can go to Opolis and jump off the circle of fate in the Eternal City.

I guarantee you will only have to wait there for a short time to meet your master, who will surely confess all his plans to you. I won't tell you any details because now is not the time to do that.

do you understand what I mean? "

"You're just trying to shut me up with words."

The sharp-eyed Marquis curled his lips and asked again:

"Then let me ask a more sincere question. Is everything you are currently planning, including the current changes in the Shadow Kingdom, still within my lord's prediction?"

"It's not just a prediction, it's simply that He personally directed all of this."

The pirate said angrily:

"Think with your brain.

Under your master's superb level of understanding of strategy and war, who can plot against him? If he was so downcast that he became a prisoner who was not noticed by anyone, it could only show that this was his original plan.

You'd better not worry about Him, Lord Aka Laike.

I now need you to help my sister and my old friend Grom promote the unity and unity of the entire Maldraxxus. I need the power of this land for my use.

If you want to feel more at ease, then I will tell you that all of this is arranged by the military master. "

"How do you need me and the Academy of Sharp Eyes to help you?"

The Marquis hardly hesitated. He returned the rune sword to Bu Laike and asked:

"What are your plans?"

"You hand over the title of Marquis of Sharp Eyes and the control of the secret court to Kargath Bladefist, and I will arrange for my Moon Night God of War card Laike to become the Baroness of Sharp Eyes to assist Bladefist.

Although another baroness, Ms. Dellaka, made the right choice out of righteousness, she did actually betray the Academy of Eyes, so she will be transferred to the Academy of Soul Chosen to become Grom Hellscream's adjutant. "

Bu Laike flicked his fingers, playing with the rune sword that could not be used for combat, but only existed as a token of the military master, and said:

"In this way, we have three secret courts in our hands. We only need to deal with the lich and the pharmacists. I plan to use three days to complete this conquest.

And I need you to help me 'smuggle' a few undead into here from the material world without passing through the Maw. "

"Well, it's very simple."

The Marquis of Aka Laike nodded and said:

"Outside the local theater of grief, there is a group of wandering brokers who earn wealth by selling various supplies for gladiatorial competitions. They call themselves the Le Foundation, but in fact they are not accepted by the mainstream brokerage consortia.

Because these wandering brokers are secretly researching something quite dangerous.

They have the ability to open the space-time rift leading to the material world in a short period of time, and use this dangerous ability to find all kinds of creatures and beasts that can be used in combat tests and gladiatorial competitions for the theater of grief.

Coincidentally, the Le Consortium has some business contacts with the Academy of Sharp Eyes.

You can send Della cards to ask for their help, maybe send a few undead directly into Maldraxxus if you can give specific aspect beacons and get the best help from the material world.

But I must tell you that this kind of thing is very dangerous.

Not only because the skills of the spirit brokers are immature, which will cause the teleportee to suffer unnecessary risks of space-time turbulence, but also because when you carry out this kind of action, it means that you will anger the Kyrian who was promoted to the fortress them.

This kind of smuggling behavior itself is provoking the foundation of the promotion fortress. You should know that the four major kingdoms in the shadow world have their responsibilities for existence.

It is this responsibility that gives the four kingdoms their detached status and meaning of existence in the shadow world

wait! "

Speaking of this, the sharp-eyed Marquis suddenly realized something.

He widened his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Could it be that the 'biggest mistake' mentioned by the military master is..."

"what?"

Bu Laike blinked his eyes, and didn't care about the sudden whim of the sharp-eyed Marquis. He just played with the rune sword in his hand, looked out the window at the night that had subsided, and said softly:

"Can you provoke those little blue people?"

"There is still such a good thing? Then we must do it."

——

Azeroth, Tol Barad Island, in the room of the dean of Narsalas Academy.

The old Lich Meili Dongfeng, who was urgently summoned, pushed the door of Dean Lanyue's office with a displeased face, holding the staff of Atiesh, and was about to ask why Lanyue sent him to the office when the demon war was in full swing. Called here.

But when he opened the door, he saw that in the dean's room, besides Ms. Blue Moon, there were Antonidas, the chief lich under the command of the Lich King, Ms. Elisande, the doomed lich of the Black Crows, and the young Lich. Demon Xiaoke.

Well, Kel'Thuzad.

This guy is a proper junior among all the current liches in Azeroth.

He didn't even deserve to have his own chair in Dean Lanyue's office, so he could only hold his cat and stand beside the four veteran liches.

"Come on, sit down."

When Old Meili saw this posture, he immediately knew that something had changed. He tidied up his robe and sat down on the chair reserved for him under the instructions of Dean Lanyue.

After Meili Dongfeng took her seat, Ms. Alya Blue Moon coughed and said to the fellow Liches in front of her:

"My disciple Bu Laike sent back news from the realm of death, everyone, this news is closely related to each of us, to be precise."

Dean Lanyue glanced at the letter in his hand.

She hesitated, and explained to the liches looking at her:

"The Ritual Academy of Maldraxxus will begin the five-yearly selection of the Lich Baron inside the Academy in one day. Braike has entrusted his connections in Maldraxxus to give each of us They all signed up.

He asked us to obtain at least two baron titles, and try to challenge the Marquis position of the Ritual Academy.

He told us not to be nervous.

He said he would secretly support us but in my experience, let's not get our hopes up. "
