When Arthas led the death knights and natural disaster soldiers into Naxxramas, the floating fortress fell in the mountains and forests, but it had already become an empty city.
"Don't tell me that it was you who tipped off Diselok." Arthas glanced at Varimathras, who was a little embarrassed, and his words were full of displeasure.
There is no problem with the coordinates given by Varimathras, but Naxxramas is now an empty city, and the facilities inside have been damaged to varying degrees.
The corpses of the original soldiers in Naxxramas were everywhere. It seemed that a certain Dread Lord had drained the essence of all the undead here before leaving.
"I'm sorry, but, my respected majesty, we have been more vigilant since Mal'Ganis died," Varimathras said with helplessness in his tone.
“Disserok thought we had been out of touch for too long and had run away.
This connection is two-way. Even if I block Diselok unilaterally, he will notice something is wrong.
From the start, it was unlikely that he would be caught. "
Arthas looked around at the messy Naxxramas, but did not show too much disappointment or dissatisfaction. He summoned Kel'Thuzad and asked him to repair the damaged floating fortress.
Although they were not able to catch all the Dread Lords in one fell swoop, one of the three remaining Dread Lords in the Eastern Kingdom is now dead, and one of them is still missing.
But judging from the materials lost in Naxxramas, Diselok escaped with some of the most critical items, probably hoping to join up with Tichondrius and complete their final goal.
Diserok knew very well that if they failed, the arrival of the Legion would be postponed indefinitely. It would be difficult for the Burning Legion to actually invade Azeroth until the next suitable opportunity comes.
The time wasted and the consequences of failure are something the Dread Lord absolutely cannot afford.
Faced with the punishment of the Legion, Varimathras and Diselok chose completely opposite paths. One betrayed the Legion, and the other remained loyal to the Legion.
But what made Arthas doubtful was whether Varimathras was really being manipulated and instigated by him sincerely. He couldn't completely trust a Dread Lord.
Temporarily "recruiting" the Dread Lord was just a delaying measure, and Arthas wanted to extract more and more useful information from Varimathras.
Under Arthas's stirrings, the entire history of Azeroth is developing in another direction. Although much of the information Arthas knows is still valid, this does not mean that Arthas can be completely superstitious about what he knows. .
The place he lives in is a real world, and any small changes may lead to earth-shaking changes in a major event.
"Varimathras, you stay in Naxxramas first and take charge of things here with Kel'Thuzad." Arthas looked at Varimathras. He planned to find an opportunity to test this big bat. Are you really planning to break up with the Legion?
If it's true, that's great. With the help of a Dread Lord, it will provide Arthas with a lot of convenience when facing the Burning Legion in the future.
But if it is fake... Arthas must find a way to make it real, or make this demon completely disappear from the world. After all, this demon is a young man who can abandon him without hesitation. compatriots.
Therefore, before Varimathras's loyalty was completely proven, Arthas did not intend to let him have too much contact with the affairs of the Scourge, so it would be most appropriate to place him in Naxxramas.
Although the things here are quite precious and mysterious, they, the Dread Demon Kings, have long regarded this floating fortress as a strategic stronghold. They have figured out everything they should know and what they shouldn't know, so there is no need to worry. What other secrets can Naxxramas reveal?
After arranging all this, a thought flashed through Arthas's mind, "Wait, Varimathras, what do you think Tichondrius did in Kalimdor?"
"He should be exploring the ancient Kaldorei ruins now, hoping to find some kind of artifact or holy object that can replace the Book of Medivh, but he didn't tell us his specific location.
However, my respected Majesty, if we really want to prevent the legion from coming, we'd better act quickly, otherwise when Diselok and Tichondrius meet up, they will definitely speed up the process of this task at any cost. "
As expected of Nasrezim, he was completely unscrupulous in selling his teammates, and he even couldn't wait to make trouble for his former teammates.
"I see."
Arthas nodded lightly and did not elaborate too much on his thoughts. His reservations made Varimathras feel quite guilty.
In fact, Varimathras did not completely betray the Legion, but his life is indeed held in Arthas's hands now. He is now walking on a tightrope. If he is not careful, he will... All bets are lost.
His practice of hedging his bets was not uncommon in Nathrezim, but the risk he took this time was indeed very high.
The reason why demons are not afraid of death is because after their physical bodies are destroyed, they will leave Azeroth and return to the Twisting Nether, where they can reshape their bodies as long as they pay a corresponding price.
But the fate of Mal'Ganis and Balnazzar made Varimathras dare not use this trick in front of Arthas to get the golden cicada out of its shell. He was afraid that his shell would fall off, but the cicada would not go away.
Whether it was Arthas or Kel'Thuzad, they were both masters of playing with souls. Varimathras did not dare to make any small moves in front of them, as the possibility of being discovered was much higher than the possibility of concealment.
But the Burning Legion will definitely come to destroy Azeroth. Varimathras is very sure of this. The failure of Tichondrius will only affect the time of the Legion's arrival.
Varimathras didn't want to bet on one side, he wanted to live longer.
However, Arthas' attitude made him feel guilty. He knew that he would not be able to gain the Lich King's trust, but he was afraid that Arthas would betray the contract and secretly kill him.
So he can only say sorry to Tichondrius and Diselok. He is also completing the task at a curve now!
After watching Arthas disappear into the portal that Naxxramas could still use, Varimathras breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to be like that idiot Balnazzar. Fodder for shadows and undead.
"I don't know how that idiot's soul will be tortured - thinking about it actually makes me a little excited."
