Diesel had been following Kel'Thuzad a long time ago. When Kel'Thuzad was still a living person, he had been persuaded by Kel'Thuzad and took the initiative to join the Cult of the Damned created by the other party, and soon He became a middle-level member, not too big or too small.
His current status in the Cult of the Damned is probably at an upper-middle level. Generally speaking, he is in a very embarrassing position. Important things or beneficial things are basically out of his reach for the time being. Judging from his current position, he does not need to do the trivial things in the sect as a member of his status. Anyway, it is the small things that he does not need to worry about, and the big things do not involve him!
In fact, Diesel was originally a mid-level mage who was studying in Dalaran. He has considerable magical attainments and talents. As long as he is willing to stay down-to-earth in Dalaran and work hard to improve his spell level, then, As long as he is not destroyed along with Dalaran in the future, he will definitely have an upright and infinitely beautiful future!
However, he was not satisfied with what he had obtained and what he was about to obtain. In his opinion, those things that seemed to be easily obtained by him were far from satisfying his appetite! He is different from ordinary mages. He doesn't care about the reputation, status, money or power that stupid mortals pursue!
In Diesel's view, as a race of short-lived mortals, no matter whether it is reputation, status, money or power, they are all nothing but moonlight in the mirror. No matter how much you get, after a hundred years, there will be nothing. It's nothing but a bamboo basket to draw water...
Look at the Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran. He is pretty awesome, right? It has almost reached the limit of what humans can achieve! But so what? The Archmage is very old now. How long can he live? ten years? Or twenty years? After all, he still cannot escape the shackles of mortal lifespan. He can only live to be more than a hundred years old at most, and he will be finished by then! When the time comes, won't everything he has gained now be turned into dust with him?
Let’s look at the Arathor Empire, the first human kingdom in human history. Isn’t the wise and mighty Emperor Thoradin considered powerful? One emperor through the ages! But so what? What now? The small saplings in front of his grave have grown into towering trees that few people can hug. The number of growth rings in that big tree is probably countless! Isn’t the emperor dead yet? By now, the human empire he established has been divided for countless years!
On the contrary, the high elves of the same period as Emperor Thoradin, King Anastarian Sunstrider of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, have lived until now! If it hadn't been for the death knight Arthas who led the undead to attack Quel'Thalas a while ago, he would definitely be able to continue to live well!
Look, that is a lifespan of at least several thousand years. For the short human life, this is almost eternity!
This is what Diesel wants to pursue! This is what he envies, envies, hates, and desires! Therefore, what he wants most is: eternal life!
As long as there is eternal life, whether it is power, honor, status, money or anything else, Diesel can slowly get it. Therefore, when Kel'Thuzad only showed him the tip of the iceberg on the road to eternal life, he immediately fell completely!
When he was in the Curse Sect, Diesel was undoubtedly a fanatical and loyal believer, otherwise he would not have climbed to the middle level of the sect so quickly. However, what no one knows is that in his heart, no matter what kind of bullshit Lich King, or Kel'Thuzad, the leader of the sect, or King Arthas of the Kingdom of the Dead, he behaves towards them. His loyalty and fanaticism are all fake, and he is very dismissive of those people!
What he really values is always the one thing that seems to be available right away - eternal life!
Therefore, the reason why he is still serving the Cult of the Curse, the current Scourge Legion, as a living person without any regrets, even if his hands are filled with the blood of countless people, What is he doing? Just for the opportunity to retain independent consciousness and transform into a lich like Kel'Thuzad!
However, the Scourge Legion he served does not seem to be as smooth sailing as it was at the beginning!
In the past few days, Diesel had heard from other sect members that the death knight Arthas' attack on Quel'Thalas didn't seem to be going too well!
Although they finally defeated the kingdom of the high elves, killed all their troops and kings, laid down the Sunwell, and successfully resurrected Kel'Thuzad! However, I heard that when they invaded Silvermoon City on their way back, they were completely blown up by the secret magical weapons of those long-eared high elves...
Hundreds of thousands of undead armies were destroyed in an instant. In the end, they didn't even care about the remaining undead armies scattered in other parts of Quel'Thalas, and the two teleported back to the castle of Lordaeron in despair. It was said that both of them were seriously injured, and it took several days of hard work and a batch of precious materials to recover.
It is precisely because of the heavy losses of the undead army that recently many of the main undead Scourge legions in Stratholme, Andorhal and various parts of Lordaeron have been dispatched to the main city of Lordaeron. It is said that it is to wipe the butts of Arthas and Kel'Thuzad and prepare enough military strength for them to assist them in completing a seemingly important mission!
However, these things have nothing to do with Diesel now. He is still just a middle-level member of the Cult of the Damned. He can only listen to the plans of the big guys above, and he has no part in them! Now, he only needs to concentrate on completing his investigation mission!
Originally, Diesel did not need to do the dangerous work of detecting the enemy's situation himself! It was only because he had the misfortune to lose a large number of troops and was punished by his superiors that he had to take such a risk!
That was a few days ago, that unbearable day. When he was ordered to lead a part of the undead army to sweep away the remaining living people in the eastern region of Lordaeron and replenish the undead soldiers, he suffered the first disastrous defeat in his life!
Just outside a canyon, the undead army led by Diesel was defeated by a huge stone giant that suddenly rushed out and was on fire! In that battle that day, not only did he almost lose his life, but he also lost more than two thousand undead troops!
It was precisely because of this that he was severely reprimanded by the Dread Lord in charge of the eastern region. In the end, he was strictly ordered to return to the canyon where he failed miserably and take the risk of blending into the human refugees. In the shortest possible time, they were able to detect clearly the huge lava giant that suddenly appeared to attack their undead, as well as the red monster similar to Naga that appeared behind! Find out what kind of existence they are and why do they help humans? Why attack the undead again?
Now, after Diesel's second day of wandering into the canyon, he was almost done with his reconnaissance.
He now knows that in this grand canyon, which was originally a lumber mill, in addition to about 3,000 human refugees and a small number of scattered soldiers from the original Lordaeron, there is also a fire elemental gang said to be from the Kingdom of Fire! What shocked Diesel was: these fire element monsters were all elite beings of high level or above! And that giant lava giant that was so huge that he lost his army was actually a lord-level monster?
In just two days since Diesel sneaked into the canyon, these fire elements had built three flame portals one after another. These gates are similar to the Dark Gate, but with blazing flames. Thousands of high-level elites can be transported to them by the fire element every day! Although quite a few of them were fire demons, there were also some melt core dogs, or lava giants that were much shorter than Otuk, and a large number of small and medium-sized Balrogs. Finally, he also found dozens of flying, huge and terrifying ones. Golden Fire Eagle?
So, when he saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore!
Diesel felt that he must report the news here as soon as possible! Otherwise, if their fire elements are allowed to continue to develop and grow like this, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with the Scourge Legion by then.
After all, who knows how many more they can continue to summon? Look, there are now more than three thousand fire elements in the Grand Canyon! For this reason, they specially burned down a large area of forest and re-established another fire element camp.
It is said that they also want to build a small palace for their queen? It was the one that Diesel saw being built on a rocky mountain in the distance! What surprised him the most was: The way their fire elements built their palaces was to directly melt the rocks and then pour them with magma? If they use this construction speed to build a defensive castle outside, I'm afraid an army of millions of undead will be unable to do anything to them, right?
The most important thing is that what they are doing now is building a palace and summoning an army. This clearly shows that they do not intend to leave anymore!
If they really plan to stay here and never leave, then the Scourge Legion will undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt! Look, I am getting along happily with living human beings now, Qiu has done nothing wrong! But when they kill the undead, they are merciless. This is obviously a different treatment. This is obviously an extremely evil organization that hates the undead! As a member of the Scourge, can Saidir not panic? If there is a natural disaster in the future, he will definitely be the target of liquidation! Therefore, he decided that he must go back and report to his superiors immediately, and he could no longer delay it like this.
……….
In Stratholme, a former municipal masonry castle, from the place now called Flame Gorge, after sneaking out in the name of going out to look for food, Diesel quickly summoned a death horse and used He rushed back to Stratholme as fast as he could, day and night. Now this city is the command center of the undead in the eastern region of Lordaeron. The senior officials of the nearby Scourge Legion are usually here, for example: those Dread Lords who seem to be very difficult to mess with?
After entering Stratholme, Diesel didn't even bother to take a break, directly abandoned the undead horse and plunged into the depths of the castle. He must report the information he obtained during the past two days to the senior officials as soon as possible!
If possible, he also hopes to use this important information to offset his previous guilt for losing a large number of undead troops. Diesel gets angry when he thinks of this! The death knight and Kel'Thuzad lost hundreds of thousands of undead troops, and they didn't see any punishment. Why should he be beaten to the end after losing more than two thousand? Are the Scourge Legion still being reasonable?
…
"Dear Lord Balnazar, the villain has returned from investigation..."
After walking into a dark stone room, with the flickering firelight on the wall, Diesel whispered to a dark figure inside.
Every time he comes to this room, he always feels a huge sense of oppression. It is a feeling of putting his life in the hands of others. It is very uncomfortable! It was as if the rabbit was facing a ferocious lynx, he could almost feel the cells in his whole body trembling!
"Oh? So it's you, little bug. Hey... tell me, what valuable things have you found in the past few days? If I'm not satisfied, maybe I should turn you into a bug. Ghoul? Or part of the abomination?" In the darkness, the huge silhouette stood up slowly and asked in a deep voice.
Balnazar has been very unhappy recently. He is in a very bad mood now! Because that incompetent and stupid knight named Arthas almost ruined their Burning Legion's major event!
Not only did that idiot completely destroy the hundreds of thousands of undead troops in Quel'Thalas, he also almost caused the Burning Legion to lose an extremely important chess piece! That idiot actually made Kel'Thuzad, who had just been resurrected, almost die in Silvermoon City again!
Because of this incident, not only did the Dreadlord they were responsible for planning receive severe rebuke from Lord Archimonde, but the plan to attack Dalaran in the past two days was completely ruined! Because, after totaling them, they found that the army of the undead natural disaster was actually insufficient in number!
You know, in their original plan of the Dread Lord, Arthas sent his troops north, destroyed the kingdom of the high elves, resurrected Kel'Thuzad, and added a large number of undead troops, and then led his troops back directly! If they go according to plan, the already huge undead army, plus the newly added undead after the elimination of Quel'Thalas, they will be able to form an army of nearly two million or more by then! In this case, whether they are used to attack Dalaran, or to conquer the world of Azeroth after Lord Archimonde of the subsequent legion arrives, their undead army can play an extremely important role!
But now? When that bastard Death Knight went north, it was such a grand spectacle, an army of hundreds of thousands of undead! But what about when you come back? Just him and Kel'Thuzad! And he's still injured? If the plan to summon Lord Archimonde didn't require the two of them to contribute, he, Balnazzar, would have thought of killing them alive!
Otherwise, why would Balnazzar come back to Stratholme and order his group of losers to go out and continue to gather the undead and attack the living? What is he planning? Isn't it because the undead army is temporarily insufficient?
"Respected, my lord, after Xiao personally went in to investigate, I found that we may not be able to do anything to the place called Flame Canyon now. The strength of their army... is really too strong!" With a trace of uneasiness, Di said Serge thought for a while and began to truthfully report what he knew.
"Oh? I can think that you are making excuses for your incompetence? Or maybe... you are trying to use these poor excuses to prevent me from criticizing you for losing thousands of undead troops a few days ago. Is this what you think? Little bug?" Balnazar turned around and stared at Diesel who was kneeling on the ground with his evil green eyes.
"No! No! No! Sir, I absolutely don't dare! I dare to swear in the name of the Lich King that everything I said is true!" How could there be thousands! It’s obviously only more than two thousand! Diesel was sweating profusely and swearing in defense.
"Humph! Lich King? Ha, what a big name! Who does Ner'zhul count? He is nothing more than a puppet of our Burning Legion! Forget it, you don't know how to tell this to a little bug like you. Understood! Go ahead and tell me, I'm very interested now, which canyon did you see something in?" As for the poor Lich King Ner'zhul who was trapped in the ice, Balnazzar and the others The Dread Lord has always been dismissive!
"That's it, sir. After I got in, I discovered that there are many powerful flame creatures in that canyon! Whether they are fire demons, lava giants, fire eagles or flame dogs, there are at least three to five thousand of them now! Moreover, Their number continues to increase every day! Because they have built three flaming portals, and are now planning to build a fourth, bigger and taller one! The most terrible thing is that those monsters are all high-level The elite above!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Diesel quickly told everything he knew about the situation. These Dreadlords are all moody things. If he really turns himself into an unconscious ghoul when he gets angry, it will be a big loss!
"That's right! Also, they seem to claim to be from some Fire Kingdom, and they have a common queen, what's her name... Right! It's called the Fire Queen! And what's strange is that their queen is actually a A little human girl! Those powerful fire creatures all listened to her, a human!"
"Oh? Fire army? Portal? Are they all high-level? Hehe! Or a human fire queen? Hey! This is quite interesting!"
Balnazzar finally felt a little interested in these powerful flame creatures that suddenly appeared. They are all high-level troops. I am afraid that only the Burning Legion has such confidence, right? What is this Kingdom of Fire called? It seems to have a lot of background!
"Little bug! I need you to do one more thing now. As long as you can complete it, I will not hold you responsible for losing those undead armies."
Balnazar suddenly thought of a good idea. Perhaps, their lack of undead troops could be solved soon? The thought of an army of thousands or more high-level flames made him excited!
"Sir, please tell me!"
Seeing this huge figure coming out of the darkness and walking up to him, Diesel quickly lowered his head and could only tremble until the opponent's huge hooves stood in front of him, and the dim Huge wings in light and shadow.
"I want you to think of a way to send a person to sneak into their queen! Can you do it?" If Balnazzar wants to implement his plan, he must have a chess piece that can sneak into the opponent's side. .
"Getting together with that little girl? Sir, this is not possible! There are only those flame creatures around her, and no one else, whether human or undead, can get close to her! Those palace guards are all the most elite fire demon soldiers, and some They are almost at the level of a little lord, and if we just go over there, it will be the same as death!"
"Then what use do I have for you?" Seeing how useless this little bug was, Balnazar felt angry and raised his hand, grabbing a ball of green light under his ferocious claws.
"Wait! Sir, please forgive me! Let me think about it..., yes! Yes, there is a way! Before I left, I seemed to have heard that the palace built by their fire demons for their queen was ready to be completed. They We plan to recruit a group of human maids for the Flame Queen, maybe we can...?"
"Idiot! Then why are you still here? Why don't you make arrangements quickly?" The Fear Lord narrowed his eyes and kicked the stupid human out.
"By the way, take this communication gem with you. After your people successfully sneak in, remember to send me a message. I will send it to you at that time. This must be done as soon as possible! Otherwise... hum!" before the other party was about to crawl. When he got up to leave, Balnazar called him, and then threw a green developing gem for communication contemptuously.
"Yes! Yes! I'm going now, little one!" After picking up the gem, Diesel was so frightened that he ran out quickly. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
