Warcraft novel series

The silent snow led to the endless road, and when he opened the sheepskin scroll, he saw the glorious building made of white marble in front of him. Xavier had to admire the excellent craftsmanship of the Scarlet Crusaders. Even the temporary buildings are so beautiful. The new Hearth Castle erected in this land of ice and snow exudes the wisdom of mankind's outstanding architectural talents at all times. The magnificent Scarlet Temple and the exquisite statues would definitely be a famous tourist attraction if it weren't for the Scarlet Crusaders guards armed with live ammunition. Walking on the fluffy snow, Xavier moved in the direction marked on the map while carefully avoiding the patrolling Scarlet Crusaders.

"The defense here is too tight. Xavier muttered in a low voice. Indeed, after many battles with the Forgotten Ones, not even a fly could fly in the defense here. But Xavier still came in, of course not the internal agent who came to respond through the door. A small door was opened for Xavier in an unoccupied corner, a magical portal used by mages for short distances. As a wave of magic flashed by, Xavier finally saw clearly the appearance of the spy named Barrien. Scarlet Crusader armor, blue eyes, and when he held Xavier's hand with a warm palm, Xavier subconsciously touched the scythe behind him. This was a human being through and through. He never knew that the Forsaken could have The human agent.

The agent named Barrien seemed to sense Xavier's uneasiness from Xavier's eyes. He gently brushed his face with one hand, and a familiar marble-gray face appeared in front of Xavier.. It wasn’t until he saw this face that Xavier felt a little relieved, but his doubts suddenly made him wonder how a forgotten person could become a human being."Lord Xavier, just face this face to him."Barian whispered to Xavier, and put a small mirror into Xavier's hand. His eyes looked around from time to time. At this moment, Xavier also felt the footsteps that were coming not far away. In the midst of the Scarlet Crusade, In this important place, any secret actions will be included in the suspicion. Apparently someone has noticed the abnormal situation here. A bloody mage wearing a red fur coat slowly approached here.

Barrion immediately motioned to Xavier to hide behind the tree. , greeted him out. The mage's vigilance immediately dropped a lot when he saw Barrien, but he still didn't feel at ease and walked straight to the big tree where Xavier was hiding. At this moment, Xavier's heart was in his throat. It is not difficult to eliminate such a mage, but if you do this, the entire New Hearth Keep will be in full-scale riots. No one knows what those crazy Scarlet Crusaders can do. Maybe a larger-scale conflict will be unleashed in the Scarlet Cross Between the army and the Forgotten, this is obviously not what Xavier wants to see.

Fortunately, all this is just a hypothesis. Just when the red mage was about to approach Xavier, Barrion raised the hidden weapon at a very fast speed. The wooden stick in the sleeve hit the red mage hard on the head. The unlucky mage fell to the ground without saying a word."Hurry and point that mirror at him, absorb his magic and you can transform."."Barryon said hurriedly, because he knew that more Scarlet Crusaders would notice the strangeness here soon, and he had to act quickly. Only at this moment did Xavier have the heart to carefully look at the mirror in his hand, the dark black The frame was engraved with complex glyphs, and the gray mirror exuded a hint of magic.

Without hesitation, Xavier immediately pointed the mirror at the fallen mage, and saw that the black magic spreading from the mirror gradually transformed this The mage's body was wrapped. The thick black fog gradually condensed, and the thick color became deeper and deeper, until it completely wrapped the mage's body. In an instant, the black fog dissipated, and the figure of the bloody mage had disappeared.."Point the mirror at yourself." At Barrien's prompting, Xavier quickly pointed the magic mirror at himself. The same black mist also enveloped Xavier. Gradually, the mist dissipated, and the mist that filled the mirror was revealed. When the magic dissipated, Xavier reflected in the mirror already looked like the Scarlet Crusaders.

At this time, several more Scarlet Crusaders passed by. Seeing Xavier and Barrien standing together, they nodded slightly and went over. Barrion looked around and saw no one before letting out a sigh of relief and said,"The environment here is really dangerous. If it weren't for the transformation mirror refined by Lord Faranir, I wouldn't be able to stay here for a moment." Go down."Barryon took a breath and then said,"I didn't expect Lord Xavier to personally carry out the task of saving my compatriots. You don't know that one of the Forgotten People who was captured was my father. Although we no longer have the deep friendship we used to have since being killed by the Undead Scourge, but fortunately we were saved by Queen Sylvanas at the same time. Such luck is really lucky to happen to us. When I was sent to New Hearth Keep for reconnaissance this time, my father and several others were arrested by the Scarlet Crusade. They will be publicly executed tomorrow. Fortunately, Lord Faranir has not forgotten my compatriot Jean. I'm so lucky that you came to rescue them."Barryon talked a lot to himself, but he didn't notice that Xavier's face was getting more and more ugly. He couldn't tell the purpose of his trip anyway. In fact, he wanted to kill Barryon's father..

In the eyes of Barrian, the kind-hearted great pharmacist was the murderer who wanted to kill his father, and he himself wanted to become an accomplice. At this moment, an idea flashed through Xavier's mind, and he wanted to quietly let go of these forgotten people. Or, obviously it is impossible for them to return to the Undercity. Maybe the only way out is to join the Silver Crusade. Xavier was thinking about the feasibility of this. Barrion spoke again,"Sir Xavier, I will do it here. The spy also found out a huge secret. The real person in power in the Scarlet Church was not General Abidis but Scarlet Bishop Cadson.""Cudson?"When Xavier heard the name, his calm heart rippled again,"You are talking about the human high priest Kadson, the Kadson who died in the defense of the Undercity."As soon as Xavier said the words, he felt that he had asked a stupid question. How could a dead person appear in front of him?

However, the answer he got was yes. The former high-ranking priest was indeed not dead. The protracted battle The only person who died in the Battle of Undercity was Kadson who used magic to turn a Scarlet Crusader into his own image as a scapegoat. After that, Kadson disappeared. No one knows where he went. It was like disappearing out of thin air. There was no trace in the air. Until one day he suddenly appeared at the Scarlet Crusade station at the Hand of Tyr, and as the supreme commander here ordered the main force of the Scarlet Crusade to move to Northrend, the headquarters of the undead scourge.. Faced with the vast undead natural disaster, annihilation was originally the most appropriate ending, but the next development shocked everyone. The Scarlet Crusade not only was not wiped out by the undead natural disaster, but also gained the upper hand in the war with the undead natural disaster, and even Blocking the door of the Lich King. You know that for this small group of forces, the Lich King can easily crush them with just a wave of his hand, so why let them get so arrogant? Listen to Barrien's explanation Of course, Xavier knew that these were the work of Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen, but he did not point it out and continued to listen to this insider report.

The strangest thing is that no one doubted Cardson's leadership. Even if some people doubted it, the Scarlet Crusade General Who dares to make wild guesses about the person Abidis respects so much? After receiving such news, Xavier didn't know whether to be happy or distressed. He was happy that his most beloved mentor was still alive in the world, but he was distressed because of his madness. The blood color still occupies the teacher's mind, and the craziest battle may have just begun.

"Lord Xavier, Archbishop Cadson has been studying some plans with Abidis recently, and he is quite mysterious and does not let any Scarlet Crusaders guards get close to the church where he lives. I think this must be about taking action against us Forgotten People. Action," Barry said. Xavier nodded. Next, he would make a bold move. He would sneak into the cathedral where Cudson lived and steal the plan himself. When he told Barry about his idea When En said this, the loyal Forsaken agent couldn't help but worry,"Lord Xavier, your actions are too dangerous. You must know that we only used the magic of the Dark Mirror to temporarily become human. If we encounter a magician or priest with powerful magic, we can easily break our disguise, let alone Archbishop Cadson, the most powerful person in the Scarlet Crusade."

Xavier understood Barrien's concerns, but he still decided to do this just because he still had the last hope, hoping to personally persuade Cardson to give up his crazy ideas, although this hope is very slim."I I've already made this decision, please don't stop me. Xavier's voice was full of determination. Seeing Xavier's determination, Barrion did not try to dissuade him any more, but he insisted on going with Xavier. This decision made Xavier unable to refuse. After repeated arguments, Xavier I still agreed to Barrien's request.

Walking through the Blood Crusade, I felt an irresistible terror when I saw the crazy warriors rushing past beside me. I don't know when the disguise will be lifted, then They will be greeted by complete death."It's strange how the archbishop's church is so sparsely guarded today."Barian let out a surprised sigh, but he quickly shut up under the strange eyes of the guarding Scarlet Crusaders. I saw a Scarlet Crusader wearing mighty armor looking at Barrian with disdain,"Don't you? You know, today is the time when the leader of the Scarlet Crusade announced the big plan. Everyone went to the Holy Church where General Abidis was. How could Archbishop Cadson not go. Facing the disdainful gaze of the Scarlet Crusaders, Barrien quickly responded in a low voice,"Yes, I'm a newcomer and I'm not very clear about these things. I'll definitely pay attention next time.""The Scarlet Crusader glanced at Barrien and ignored him, and went to the Holy Lord's Church with the other Scarlet Crusaders.

At this moment, Xavier pulled Barien and whispered a few words in his ear, and the two of them disappeared together. In a hidden corner of the High Cathedral."Barryon, now is the time when the Scarlet Crusade's defenses are at their weakest. Hurry up and rescue your father and other Forgotten Ones."""Okay," after hearing Xavier's order, Barrien immediately agreed. This is indeed the best opportunity to rescue the hostages. If you miss it, you may never find such a good opportunity again. When Barrien was about to leave At this moment, Xavier grabbed him."Is there anything else?"Barryon looked at Xavier with some doubts. At this moment, Xavier thought of something. If Barrian brought the hostages back to the place where the poison came from, what kind of punishment would it be to welcome them. Xavier couldn't imagine Ka Will Slu, the arrogant ranger general, execute these Forsaken compatriots who have always believed in him on the spot?

"Don't go back to the camp at Poison Source. Go all the way north to find the Silver Crusade and ask them to take you in."Xavier's voice was trembling. He really didn't know how to tell Barien this fact. But things would eventually come. Barrien looked at Xavier warily. He even suspected that Xavier had betrayed the queen. Plan."Lord Xavier, please tell me the reason. I don't believe you will let me betray the Queen. Do you really want to betray the Queen like Nathanos Marris?""Hearing the name of this proud ranger, the only disciple of Sylvanas, Xavier couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. Through Barrion's words, Xavier further proved what his former comrade was experiencing now. Perhaps Undercity The figure of this once only human ranger can still be found in the dungeon. Perhaps he has disappeared forever in the dark mist.

Memories always end. After a brief silence, Xavier finally spoke. He hesitated for a long time and finally said,"The order Kallus asked me to bring is to kill the captured Forsaken. Only dead people will not reveal secrets.""What! You said Lord Kalus, you want me to kill those captured comrades!"Barryon knelt on the ground in pain. In this dark corner, he could cry without any scruples, asking him to kill his father. He could not do such a thing anyway. At this moment, he finally understood why Xavier He told himself to defect to the Silver Northern Expedition. In such an environment, he had no room to survive. Returning to the place where the poison originated was the only way to die.
