"What? How many patrol teams haven't returned yet?"
"The blocking door was also opened?"
"Those druids didn't react at all? Do they only know how to sleep?!"
Noisy conversations and footsteps were heard outside the prison. Illidan lowered his head, looking listless, but he was carefully distinguishing the number of people outside the cell.
After a long period of 10,000 years, Illidan has been able to judge the changes in external guards based on the number of voices and the severity of footsteps. When the number of guards is the most and when the number is least, he has basic knowledge. judge.
However, this time the steps of the watchers were so chaotic that it was rare in this long period of ten thousand years. Illidan couldn't help but begin to wonder what happened outside the cell.
'It sounds like the Watchers lost contact with the others while on routine patrol. '
After overhearing part of the conversation, Illidan had some basic conjectures in his mind, but what still puzzled him was who was able to enter the dungeon of the Watchers and make a large number of Watchers lose their connection with the large army. Union?
It was definitely not one of his own people who was breaking into the dungeon.
Illidan did not reveal his desire to escape because of the manpower transfer of the Watcher. He knew that just a few teams missing or being attacked would not change the status quo of one mechanism for every five steps and one guard for every ten steps in the dungeon.
Even if he breaks free from the chains, he is bound to enter a period of weakness. He needs time to regain his strength. Otherwise, he will not be able to fight back when facing the pursuers. Even if he escapes, he will not be able to escape very far.
What's more, there is a difficult opponent like Maiev. Even in his best state, Illidan is not willing to compete with a stubborn opponent like Maiev.
Illidan here pretended to be silent in his prison, but was actually thinking about countermeasures in secret. Maiev over there also walked to the door of Illidan's prison at this time, casting his gaze into the cell through the solid railings.
She saw that Illidan did not take any action because of the commotion outside. Instead, he seemed more silent and indifferent than ever before.
Maiev raised her hand to summon her adjutant, Nasa, and ordered in a low voice, "Keep an eye on this guy. I'm going to go find those missing people myself."
"But...Ms. Maiev, I'm worried that this might be some kind of trick. Someone is trying to keep you from paying attention to both ends."
The idea put forward by Nasa made Maiev a little hesitant, but she could not let go of the missing watchers. During this long period of surveillance, she did not have any relatives or friends to accompany her. Maiev had already trained her The watchmen are regarded as their sisters and family members.
In addition, in recent days, there were rumors among the night elves that there seemed to be demons from the ancient war reappearing in Ashenvale, and her nerves were more tense than ever before.
In the end, the warden made his decision.
"Don't worry too much, Nasa, I will find the missing sisters. Illidan's prison is under the magic of Malfurion and other druids. He will not have a chance to escape."
With these words, Maiev left the deepest part of the underground prison.
Nasa looked at Maiev's leaving figure, sighed, and turned her attention to Illidan. After confirming again and again that there was no abnormality in Illidan's restraints, she walked aside and continued to perform her duties with the other watchers. own responsibilities.
Maiev's departure put great pressure on the wardens who guarded Illidan here. Although they also knew that Illidan's magical confinement had not been loosened in any way, this did not prevent them from dealing with this notorious "betrayer." Feeling worried.
They all clenched the weapons in their hands and stared at the motionless Illidan.
In the depths of the entire prison, apart from the soft sound of water dripping, there was the slight breathing of the watchers. The atmosphere was so quiet that some cold sweat broke out on Nasa's forehead unconsciously, and even her vision was a little blurry...
wait wait wait? Cold sweat? Blurred vision? !
Nasa was in a trance for a while, and then suddenly regained her consciousness. Her previously blurry vision suddenly became clear again. She clearly felt that the lining of her armor had been soaked with sweat. It felt like she had never been there. Just like escaping from an extremely dangerous moment, there is a feeling of palpitations and joy of surviving the disaster.
When she looked at her companions again, she found that they had already fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
This weird scene made Nasa's heartbeat almost stop. She held the moon blade in her hand tightly and observed the darkness around her with great vigilance.
Arthas was a little surprised that one of the guards had not fallen. He used the psychology of these guards and the environment deep in the prison to penetrate into their souls little by little, making them feel nervous and palpitating without even realizing it. Falling down.
But the last watchman in front of her was obviously much stronger than the others. She actually woke up at the last moment before falling into coma and realized that the enemy had penetrated into the core area of the prison.
Nasa held the moon blade in one hand, and with the other hand she hid under her cloak and grabbed a wooden talisman. As long as she pinched the talisman, Maiev would receive a message and know that the core area had been penetrated.
Just when she was about to destroy the amulet with her five fingers, a cold hand held her arm. Nasa's body was shaken, and she subconsciously waved the moon blade in her other hand towards the person beside her. Attack.
However, just when the moon blade was about to land on Alsace's neck, Nasa's movements froze. She lowered her head sluggishly, and a rune heavy sword penetrated her abdomen, and bright red blood dripped down the blade. Falling on the ground, the ferocious demon sculpture seemed to be laughing at her stupidity.
With a gentle push from Alsace's hand, Nasa's body was separated from Frostmourne's sword, and she fell heavily to the ground. Her limbs were stiff and cold, and she was unable to even make her final resistance and cry.
Nasa's eyes dimmed, and Arthas crossed her body without any care and came to Illidan's cell. He looked at the imprisoned "betrayer."
Even if he is blind, it does not mean that Illidan cannot feel the gaze of others. His remaining senses are sharper than those of normal elves. He has long been aware of everything happening outside, and even heard with his own ears that Nasa was being watched. The dull sound of a sharp blade penetrating.
Illidan raised his head, and his eyes covered with black cloth seemed to be able to see the existence of Arthas. He asked rather playfully, "Who are you? You can actually deceive that woman and get to this place."
Unfortunately, Arthas did not reply. What Illidan heard was the soft sound of the air being cut open, and two crisp sounds of chains breaking.
The hands that had been imprisoned for ten thousand years were finally free. Illidan tore off the vines and tree roots that were wrapped around his body. He stretched out his hand to explore, and the familiar touch made his whole body feel inexplicably comfortable.
"Ah... Azzinoth, it feels so good to wield you again."
In the prison, two rays of green light flashed through, and the last restraint that bound Illidan was cut off by a sharp blade. He, Illidan Stormrage, finally became free again after waiting for ten thousand years!
