  Chapter 1935 63. Regarding the promotion ceremony of the Great Lich, we decided to use the actual combat assessment

"boom"

  The uppermost floor of the Floating City of Creation, in the dark passage leading to the dome hall, the poisoned dagger in the hands of Marquis Akalek and the deadly Gorehowl wielded by Old Roar collided and separated lightly.

  Lord Marquis wearing black armor is like a fluttering shadow, not only was he not hurt by Lao Rou's lethal blow, but he also used the power of this battle axe to send himself into the shadow further behind.

   This skill of leveraging alone is enough to make the Marquis the most troublesome enemy for a warrior like Lao Roo, who jumps around and can't hit like a bug.

   But being bitten is still heart-wrenching.

   But luckily or unfortunately, the Marquis of Akalek faced more than just Grom Hellscream in this passage.

Just as he fell into the deeper darkness, Kargath, who jumped out of the twisted shadow, fluttered the flowing white hair of the dead, swung his poisoned blade fist, and swept the flying bone axe. The gap left several dangerous scars on the leather armor of Lord Marquis.

   But it's not over yet.

  The Marquis kicked Kargath away with one kick, and he planned to retreat again and leave the battlefield. As the most deadly assassin under the commander of the army, he knew that the true meaning of assassination was not to kill with one blow, but to protect himself.

  Many times assassins need to judge the situation, and the necessary escape is also part of the tactics. If you can escape safely in front of your enemies, it means that you can return to the battlefield at any time when they let down their guard.

   Even though it is difficult to do this on a physical level, in their minds they will often "come back".

   This is one of the ways assassins use the weapon "fear".

  The former Blake was very good at this set, and the Marquis of the Sharp Eyed Academy was even more outstanding.

   After realizing that tonight's assassination was just a trap to lure the enemy into the deep, the Marquis has decided to give up tonight's action.

   But unfortunately, when there are traitors inside, it is not so easy for him to leave.

   "Go back! That old greenskin is waiting to have a chat with you with the axe!"

When the Marquis of Akalek rushed towards the exit on the other side of the passage like a galloping shadow, Fenna, whose whole body was burning with blue anger, roared and waved the great sword of Taeshalak in his hand, compressing his strength to the point where he would not be able to. To the extent of destroying his beloved floating city, strike forward with a courage that cannot be avoided or blocked at all.

  Blue's anger mixed with the world-annihilating fire attached to Taeshalak, the Titan sword, and the power of this blow shrouded all the space in front of Marquis Akalek, and he couldn't avoid it.

   This made the Marquis frown, and the three compound eyes on his forehead blinked.

   After feeling the old roar intercepted from behind and the actions of Kargath who was about to launch the next wave of backstabs, the Marquis opened his arms and plunged into Fina's attack as if he were sending him to death.

   His thin and slender figure was completely swallowed up by the fire of anger raised by Fina's courage in the next instant, but only a dim shadow was burned and shattered.

   The real Marquis with sharp eyes has caught Fina's relaxation for a moment, and then her shadow jumped out of this murderous passage as a springboard.

   It is not so easy to hide from the two demigod warriors with this surrogate-like technique. The figure of Lord Marquis reappeared in a certain room in the middle level of the floating city.

   He took a breath and planned to activate the teleportation to send himself back to the floating city in the Secret Academy of Sharp Eyes.

But in the next instant, a throwing knife hit the teleportation runestone in the Marquis's hand with precision, causing the Marquis of Akalek to turn around and see Ms. Draka, the Baroness Sharp-eyed, who was pushing the door and carrying a double axe. .

"why?"

   Marquis Sharp Eyes did not lose control of his anger because his retreat was interrupted. On the contrary, he just frowned and looked at his most trusted subordinate in front of him and said:

   "I know you were fellow citizens of Grom Hellscream and Kargath Bladefist when you were alive, and had some interactions, but you declared to me that you would not be affected by past memories.

  I also firmly believe that your steely will will allow you to complete your task perfectly.

  I believe even more in the oath you made under the Seat of the Soldier. You have seen with your own eyes your world was used as a weapon by the evil to attack Azeroth, and you and your husband also died in that disaster.

  You understand the mission of the Sharp Eyes Academy better than anyone else.

why!

   Draka, why did you betray us? "

   Answering Marquis Akarek's question was the two soul battle axes that had been drawn from his waist, and Baroness Draka leaned down to prepare for battle.

   She looked at her marquis with complicated eyes and said:

   "Because, I remember my oath."

   The Marquis of Akarek was also a little surprised by Draka's strange attitude, and he asked:

   "If you remember your oath, what are you doing now?"

   "I'm fulfilling my oath!"

   "Whoosh"

  Lady Draka disappeared in place like a ghost.

The Marquis of Akalek turned to block in an instant, flung the two chopped axes lightly, and shredded the baroness's shadow in the kick, and threw the death flywheel in a spin to interrupt the brewing feast of slaughter. .

   The two fought each other for less than two seconds, but they have gone through several times between life and death. This short-handed confrontation is the most test of the assassins' skills. Facts have proved that the number one killer under the soldier's commander is still old and strong.

At the fifth second, Ms. Draka's double axe was picked up, and a dagger was inserted into her chest. The Marquis grabbed her hair and threw it to the wall. Before she got up, she was thrown by the Marquis. The thrown dagger rubbed his neck and pierced the wall behind him.

"say clearly!"

   Draka's neck was strangled, and she watched the Marquis of Akalek appearing in front of her with a battle axe, the latter's eyes and the compound eyes on his forehead were full of questions.

  The baroness did not hide any more, and said in a low voice:

   "Because he wants to see the unification of Maldroxus! Lord Soldier did not fall, he sent messengers and brought back his own orders, and he even made his own successor.

   He needs Maldraxxus to enter into the most united era to right the Shadowlands' greatest wrong.

  I saw the token of the soldier master with my own eyes.

  I did not betray the Sharp Eyes Chamber of Secrets, Lord Marquis, nor did I betray you. I stood with Grom and Kargath only because I obeyed the command of the soldier.

  The House of Sharp Eyes, which hindered the unification of Maldraxxus, has become the target that we, the lord of death-sworn soldiers, must eradicate!

   That's all. "

   "Master Soldier's token? No, I don't believe it!"

   Marquis Akarek's eyes widened. He felt that this was completely unreasonable, and he really wanted to ask a few more questions, but he suddenly felt a gust of wind emerging behind him.

Then

   "Poof"

   The blood-stained rune sword pierced through his back and pierced through his chest.

   The blade was covered with blood and absorbed by the runes on the sword, and three of the five inscriptions representing the Five Secret Gardens were lit up.

  While the Marquis looked down at the rune sword, Lord Black, who walked out behind him, put his hand on Marquis Akalek's shoulder and said softly:

   "You should believe that all miracles can be born in the hot land of Maldraxxus, my dear Marquis Sharpeye, I have heard your story from my good friend the soldier.

  Your loyalty is touching, but unfortunately, you are not suitable to be his successor. "

   "I never expected."

   The Marquis of Akarek did not die or be seriously injured because he was pierced by a sword.

  People were already dead when they came to Maldraxxus, and now this body is only for the convenience of performing assassin tactics and carrying souls.

   He is not essentially a living creature, and naturally he does not have the weaknesses that living people have.

   He was even in the mood to carefully distinguish some of the subtle features of the rune sword that pierced him. As the psychic marquis who has served Lord Soldier for the longest time, he could tell that this weapon was indeed handcrafted by Lord Soldier Lord.

   "Where is the master of Maldraxxus?"

  The Marquis of Sharp Eyes dissipated all his fighting intent at once. He turned his head to look at Blake, who curled his lips, pointed to his feet, and made another movement of chain binding and pulling.

   Lord Marquis nodded immediately.

   Sure enough, just like his worst guess, Lord Soldier entered the Maw and fell into the prison of Warden Zovar.

   "Can he be rescued?"

   The loyal Marquis asked again.

  Black shook his head and said:

"Whether it can be saved or not is not the point, the question is whether He is willing to leave or not. Didn't you hear it clearly? Madam Draka has already told you that I came to Maldraxus to elect the next soldier. .

   But I can guarantee that the old man you are loyal to will not die in a confused way. You can even accompany him, as long as you can let go of the power in your hands. "

   "It was never a problem."

   Marquis of Akalek sighed deeply.

   He pressed the rune sword on his chest to remove the weapon from his body, and then threw the seal of his sharp-eyed Marquis to Draka, who immediately left the room to stop the ongoing raid.

   When only Black and Marquis Sharp Eyes were left in the room, the Marquis who was playing with the Soldier Master Rune Sword glanced at Black and said softly:

   "You need the assistance of the Academy of Sharp Eyes, there is no doubt about it, I don't care who you want to be the next Marquis of Sharp Eyes, the only thing I care about is the words that the soldier conveyed to us.

  The so-called 'Shadowland's biggest mistake'.

  You know, as the longest serving soldier, I have occasionally pieced together some fragmented truths from my master's gossip."

   "Seriously, you can ask Him yourself! I'm not responsible for answering any questions."

  Black waved his hand in disgust.

  Although he was an assassin, he hated talking to standard assassins and conspiracy masters like the Marquis of Akalek. These guys are full of eyes and can't wait to hide hundreds of twists and turns on a single question.

   Once he appreciated such wisdom, but now he is not willing to waste time.

   He said to the Marquis Sharp-Eyed:

   "It just so happens that I also need a master who is good at intelligence work to help them in the small forces of the Maw. You can go to Opolis and jump off the circle of destiny in the Eternal City.

  I promise you will only have to wait there for a short time to see your master, and he will surely reveal all his plans to you. I won't give you any details because now is not the time to say that.

do you understand what I mean? "

   "You're just trying to shut me up with words."

   Marquis with sharp eyes curled his lips and asked again:

   "Then let me ask a more sincere question. Is everything you are currently planning, including the current changes in the Shadow Kingdom, still within my lord's predictions?"

   "It's more than a prediction, it's just that He personally directed it all."

  The pirate said angrily:

   "Use your brain to think about it.

   Under the level of your master's superb understanding of strategy and warfare, who can plot against him? If he's down enough to be a prisoner unnoticed by anyone, that's just his original plan.

  You better worry less about him, Lord Akalek.

   I need your help now to help my sister and my old friend Grom to unite and unify the whole of Maldraxxus, and I need the power of this land at my disposal.

  If you want to feel more at ease, then I will tell you that all this is arranged by the soldier. "

   "How do you need me and the Sharp Eyes Academy to help you?"

The Marquis    hardly hesitated. He returned the rune sword in his hand to Black and asked:

   "What are your plans?"

   "You hand over the name of Marquis Sharp Eyes and the control of the Chamber of Secrets to Kargath Bladefist, and I will arrange for my Moonlight War God Kalek to become Baroness Sharp Eyes to assist Blade Fist.

Another baroness, Ms. Draka, although she made the right choice out of righteousness, she did in fact betray the Sharp Eyes Chamber of Secrets, so she will be transferred to the Soul Chosen Chamber to become Grom Hellscream 's adjutant. "

  Blake flicked his fingers and played with the rune sword in his hand, which could not be used for combat, but only existed as a token of the soldier's master, and said:

  "In this way, we have three secret houses in our hands, and we only need to deal with the lich and the pharmacists. I plan to complete this conquest in three days.

   And I need you to help me 'smuggle' a few undead from the material world into here without going through the maw. "

   "Well, that's easy."

   The Marquis of Akalec nodded and said:

   "There is a group of wandering spirits outside the local Sorrowful Death Theater who earn their fortune by selling various supplies for gladiatorial competitions. They call themselves the Le Consortium, but in fact they are not accepted by the mainstream consortium of spirits.

   Because these wandering spirits are secretly studying quite dangerous things.

   They have the ability to open a space-time rift leading to the material world in a short period of time, and use this dangerous ability to find various creatures and beasts for the theater of wounds that can be used in combat tests and gladiatorial competitions.

   Coincidentally, the Le Consortium has some business dealings with the Sharp Eye Institute.

  You can send Draka to ask for their help. If you can give specific phase markers and get the help of the material world, you may be able to send a few undead directly into Maldraxxus.

   But I have to tell you, this kind of thing is very dangerous.

It is not only because the technology of the spirits is not mature, which will lead to the unnecessary risk of time and space turbulence for the teleported person, but also because you are carrying out this kind of action, which means that you will anger Glenn who has been promoted to the fortress. them.

   This kind of smuggling behavior itself is provocative to the foundation of the existence of the promotion fortress. You should know that the four kingdoms of the shadow world have their own responsibilities.

   It is this duty that gives the four kingdoms their detached status and meaning in the shadow world.

and many more! "

   Having said that, Marquis Sharp Eyes suddenly realized something.

   He widened his eyes and said in a voiceless voice:

   "Could it be that the 'biggest mistake' said by the soldier master is."

"what?"

  Blake blinked, not paying attention to the whims of the Marquis Sharp Eyes, he just played with the rune sword in his hand, looked at the subdued night outside the window, and said softly:

   "Can you provoke those little blue men?"

   "How could there be such a good thing? Then it must be done."

—

  Azeroth, Tol Barad Island, in the dean's room of Nar'Thalas College.

The old lich Meri Dongfeng, who was urgently summoned, leaned on the staff of Etiès and pushed open the door of Dean Lanyue's office with a displeased expression. Summoned here.

But when he opened the door, he saw that in the dean's room, in addition to Ms. Blue Moon, there were also the chief lich Antonidas under the Lich King, Ms. Elisande, the doomed lich of the Black Ravens, and the young witch. Demon Xiaoke.

   Well, Kel'Thuzad.

   This guy is a proper junior among all the current lich in Azeroth.

   He doesn't even deserve to have a chair of his own in Dean Lanyue's office, he can only hold his cat and stand beside the four veteran lich.

   "Come, sit."

  Old Meili knew that things had changed immediately when he saw this posture. He tidied up his robe and sat on the chair reserved for him under the instruction of Dean Lanyue.

   After Merry Winterwind took her seat, Lady Alya Bluemoon coughed and said to her fellow lich compatriots in front of her:

   "My disciple Black sent back news from the kingdom of the dead. Everyone, this news is closely related to each of us, to be precise."

   Dean Lan Yue glanced at the letter in his hand.

   She hesitated, and explained to the liches who looked at her:

"The Ritual Chamber of Maldraxxus will start the selection of the Lich Baron within the Chamber of Secrets every five years in a day. Black has entrusted his personal connections in Maldraxxus to give each of us Signed up.

   He asked us to get at least two baron titles, and try to attack the marquis position of the Ritual Chamber of Secrets.

   He told us not to be nervous.

   He said he would support us secretly but in my experience we should not get our hopes up. "
