Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Eredin did not stay long in Ashland.

But the performance of this leader of the Black Knights, who had been defeated many times, was highly praised by Black. It was probably because he recognized the shameless nature of the demons that he was completely disappointed with Kil'jaeden, the bastard, which led to the Black Knights' " "Rebellion" was decisive and ruthless.

He told Black all the information he knew and proposed his plan.

That is "the inside should be in harmony with the outside".

He was responsible for leading the assassins sent by Kil'jaeden into a trap, and the rest was left to the stinking pirates.

The loyal servants of Sargeras and the enemies of the Burning Legion have joined forces to deliver a humiliating defeat to the mighty Deceiver that will last a lifetime.

The plan was quickly finalized and Eredin left in a hurry.

Watching the jumping black knight leave the room, Maiev Shadowsong, who had been watching this scene, made a suspicious nasal sound. She looked at Black and said:

"I can understand that he hates Kil'jaeden. After all, according to his description, the Deceiver is forcing them to perform a fatal mission. Under such pressure and humiliation, his choice to communicate with foreign enemies is a crazy but helpless choice. .

But what I'm curious about is, as a member of the Burning Legion, doesn't doing such a thing mean that he will completely stand against the demons of the Legion?

How can he escape from being hunted by demons and inevitably facing a miserable death?

Is such crazy revenge just to vent your anger? "

"No, the Black Knights have the confidence to do this."

Blake played with the pipe in his hand and explained to Maiev:

"When you look at the Legion, you will always subconsciously tie the Dark Titan and the Burning Legion together, but this view is very wrong.

All the demons in the Burning Legion and even the stars are just a means used by Lord Sargeras to "defend" the stars and eradicate corruption.

Although they are brutal and full of determination to destroy, they are just a very useful sword.

The Dark Titan actually looks at demons the same way he looks at us.

If we can show a stronger determination than the devil, a power that is more controllable and powerful than the devil, and are willing to devote our loyalty to the Dark Titan, then Lord Sargeras will not hesitate when abandoning the devil. One second.

There is no need to doubt this statement.

The Dark Titan is such a ruthless and domineering man.

In fact, the demons also know very well that after they complete this burning expedition across the stars, they will also be destroyed by Lord Sargeras himself.

They destroyed countless civilizations that may have been infected by the void, and they were the last civilization to rush to death. This was their fate.

The Black Knights see this truth very clearly.

As Eredin said, their allegiance is to the Dark Titan himself, not the Burning Legion. Even theoretically speaking, Eredin, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde are on the same level in the system established by Sargeras himself.

His anger at the Deceiver stemmed more from Kil'jaeden's denial of this.

The Deceiver is denying the Black Knights' purpose.

As for how the Black Knights were going to get away with it after Eredin and I teamed up to deliver a wonderful defeat to the Deceiver, there would be no punishment at all!

As long as the Black Knights can prove the value of their existence to Lord Sargeras, the Dark Titan will not allow valuable things to be destroyed by the boring fights among subordinates for power. "

Having said this, the stinky pirate sneered and said:

“As I just said, in the eyes of Lord Sargeras, deceivers, polluters, and black knights are all pawns for him to achieve his great goal.

Or to put it in more common terms.

They are all dogs of the Dark Titan. In the eyes of their owners, dogs released to bite people are important, but are dogs that are always collecting treasures for the family inferior to others?

Kil'jaeden had controlled the Legion for so long that it had the sad illusion that the Burning Legion belonged to him, but with just one order from the Dark Titan, the demons now loyal to it would tear it to pieces in an instant!

From this point of view, Eredin actually sees much more clearly than the fraudster.

That's why he felt confident.

He wanted to use this cruel betrayal to 'remind' Kil'jaeden of the 'status issues' between both parties. "

This simple explanation made Maiev nodded.

In fact, there are many details in the intelligence collected by the watchers that prove that there are intricate "mountain forces" within the legion.

For example, the two factions of the Deceiver and the Defiler have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, as well as the Nasrezim faction, which has a delicate status outside the two demon leaders, and the Anihran Abyss where both sides are betting on who will help whom. Lord factions and more.

But what she didn't expect was that the reason for this division within the Legion was not only the inherent chaos of the demons, but also the connivance from Sargeras.

Uh, that's not quite right.

Someone like the Dark Titan who holds a sharp sword and just wants to kill all enemies will not take the time to pay attention to the patterns on the sword, as long as the sword is sharp enough.

The new ideas provided by Blake put Maiev into a thinking state immediately.

As the head of the Kaldorei intelligence system, Maiev naturally considered whether this conflict between demons could be exploited by her own side.

Then, she realized an embarrassing problem.

As Black Shaw, who told her clearly about this "legion secret", he must have realized this problem earlier than she did, and the stinky pirates may have already started to work on this.

"Of course, the 'justice from the master' only ensures that the Black Knights will not be brutally killed by Kil'jaeden in the aftermath. They can avoid the death penalty but cannot escape the crime of living."

While Maiev was thinking, Black said:

"For any intelligent life, it is a terrible thing to mess with the Deceiver. I think even the immortal Black Knights must have prepared their hands."

"Yes."

Maiev nodded and analyzed:

“This cunning Dark Titan servant has never promised to help you fight against the killer sent by the Deceiver. He has always emphasized that he will only lead the killer to the place you agreed on.

It seems to be helping you.

But thinking about it from the other side, it also means that he will bring you into the eyes of the demon slayer, providing that guy with a perfect place to complete the task.

This means that no matter who wins or loses, they will not be directly implicated.

The victory of the Legion Killer would be shared among them, and if Kil'jaeden's Assassins failed, the failure would fall entirely on the Deceiver, who had, after all, accomplished their mission of 'lubing the snake out of its hole'.

These guys are worthy servants of the Dark Titan, and their evil wisdom cannot be underestimated. "

"Well, this is also what makes me feel happy."

Blake grinned, rubbed his chin amidst the rising smoke from the smoke ring, and said in an appreciative tone:

"The Black Knights have finally evolved from being one-sided to being blocked at both ends. It seems that they have indeed accumulated incredible survival wisdom through repeated failures.

Although in my opinion they have grown too slowly and are full of "tragedy" of being bullied everywhere, they now have the cunning and evil that the pirates of Azeroth should have.

Most importantly, they also have a very flexible bottom line

I no longer have to worry about the sad fate they will face when they return to Azeroth.

With the cunning and ruthlessness they are showing now, they will definitely make a career on the endless sea.

This means that the 'Age of Raid' that I have single-handedly pushed to prosperity will usher in a new color. Azeroth, where dragons and tigers are fighting, is getting more and more lively. "

Having said this, the stinky pirate turned to look at Maiev, stretched and said:

"Finding it all, I have almost done what I came to Draenor to do. As long as I wait for the last thing to be completed, I can return to my hometown with my own loot.

Do you want to go back with me? My miss prisoner. "

Maiev's face instantly became serious. She raised her hand again, showed the handcuffs on her wrists, and said:

"Where I want to go is not something I, a prisoner who has lost my freedom, can decide."

"Then I'll take it as your consent."

The pirate stood up, flexed his wrist and said:

"On the way back after killing the terrible killer sent by the fraudster, I will buy you a 'ship ticket' back home. Remember to pay."

Blake put his black owl war helmet on his head and said to Maiev angrily:

"The scenery on Ashland Island is nice, and this is my territory. You can move freely here, just think of it as a holiday for yourself. But if I hear about your escape after I come back, I will be very sad. Angry and disappointed.”

He raised his hand and touched Maiev's cheek.

He whispered:

"When, as the warden, I catch you, a naughty prisoner, and come back, I will definitely put a real dog leash on you, I'm serious.

So, do us both a favor.

Before the problem between us is resolved, don't make things so embarrassing willfully, okay? After all, it wouldn’t be too bad for an elf like you to parade around the city with a dog leash, right? "

"snort."

Maiev sneered and pushed Black's hand away.

The pirate didn't care either. He disappeared into the house with a whoosh. When Maiev got up from the chair, Black suddenly appeared behind her and whispered to her:

"Well, there is something I forgot to tell you. When you were exploring Draenor, I used some tricks to bring your brother, who had been hiding for nearly ten thousand years, out of the mountain.

Now he is already in contact with the top management of Kaldorei and is preparing to rebuild the anti-magic alliance.

Guess, do I have anyone of mine around him? "

When Maiev heard this, she clenched her fists instantly.

This damn guy is threatening himself!

"Garold Shadowsong has genius command and leadership, but he is not a powerful warrior. Injuring him is no more difficult than chopping an apple."

Blake picked up a green apple from the fruit bowl and put it into Maiev's hand. When he let go of his hand, the round apple instantly split into several pieces.

He patted Maiev's butt and said with a weird laugh:

"You don't want your only brother to be hurt because of this, right, ma'am? So, do you understand what to do? Be good and obedient.

This is good for you and me. "

——

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the morning three days later.

On the Black Knight's ship cruising off the coast of Hellfire Peninsula, a dark green portal of evil energy was opened with difficulty under the maintenance of several arakkoa warlocks.

This portal leads to a distant world of stars. It is very difficult to maintain it. Fortunately, the flagship of the Black Spirit Pirate Group is driven by a very black-tech evil energy engine, making this ship equivalent to a mobile evil energy. A holy place.

The leader of the Black Knights and several of his brothers returned to their ferocious armor, and Eredin himself once again wore the magic blade given by the Deceiver.

They waited in front of the portal with a humble and respectful attitude.

A few minutes later, a tall figure strode out of the portal.

This is an Eredar woman.

She has the same body shape as Draenei Hooves, but is more ferocious due to the infusion of evil energy.

Real devil horns grew on her forehead, and her skin was filled with rough bone spurs and fel herpes. Her blood-red skin made her look particularly ferocious.

But the wagging little tail gave her a hint of charm.

She wore a hood with legion runes on it, almost completely covering her body. Under the hood was a set of leather armor filled with shadows. She also wore a steel assassin mask on her face, revealing only a pair of ghostly eyes. green eyes.

It is worth mentioning that this female Eredar assassin has two very special daggers hanging on her waist, which look like they are made from the teeth of some kind of beast. As she walks, the blades of the weirdly shaped daggers are still dripping. Drops of blood-like liquid.

"Welcome to you, Lady Akali, the Legion's Edge, the Hand of Darkness, the Fear Hunter, the Subverter, and the Assassin Master of the Eredar."

Eredin shouted the name of the assassin in front of him.

But his flattery and humility did not move the assassin in front of her at all. She looked at the black knights with the same eyes as looking at a stone or a piece of garbage, without any emotion.

Uh, don't get me wrong.

This is not because Akali is arrogant, but because she has no such thing as feelings.

All that exists here is the shell of Akali, who long ago gave her all to the Legion and the evil weapons in her hands.

She is an emotionless destruction machine, a shadow blade born only to kill. The Burning Legion also has demonic assassins, and Akali is the undoubtedly best among them.

The Legion has extensive experience corrupting weak wills and mortal hearts, and Akali is the final guarantee of the Legion's success.

If one is strong or sane enough to resist the temptations of fel, Akali's twin blades will do the trick.

Only when facing the toughest guys, the legion's senior leaders will send her out, and her perfect mission success rate that she has maintained so far has also made her famous in the devil's camp.

"Black Shaw, where is he?"

Akali asked in hoarse, emotionless devilish language.

Eredin curled his lips and made a "Follow me" gesture. They changed to a small boat. After driving for a few minutes, the black knight pointed to the looming islands and reefs on the evil ocean ahead and whispered:

“We buried the treasure there, and as expected that greedy bastard Blake took the bait and was enjoying the loot there.

Mighty lady, please go. eh? "

Before the black knight finished speaking, there was no longer a demon assassin behind him.

These elusive guys are really annoying!

With this thought, Eredin happily sat on the bow of the boat and even opened a bottle of wine for the first time.

He could no longer enjoy the mellow aroma of the wine, but that didn't stop him from taking a swig.

This has nothing to do with the taste of the wine, it is purely about enjoying the pleasant mood.

On the island in front of him, Blake, who was wielding a shovel and had just dug out a large box from the sand dunes, was whistling, rubbing his hands, and bending down to open the lock and win his treasure.

But the next moment, he raised his head warily and looked behind him, shouting:

"Come out! I can already smell the weird smell on you. Your two daggers came from a dead vicious dog, right? No wonder it smells like dog meat.

Hey, you demons will be despised if you use hooked teeth as weapons.

If benevolence were met, uh, no, dog lovers all over the universe would condemn this shameless behavior and raise funds to put a bounty on me to kill you! "
