"Be careful!" Looking at the Alliance warriors who were divided into two groups, Duke gave his final instructions.
This is the enemy's camp. Even if we have the upper hand in the early stages, we can never be too careful.
Duke didn't say anything special to his women. If there was anything to say, he had already said it last night. He and Alleria were not only lovers, but also like-minded comrades. Petty and lingering love talks were not suitable for them.
Before leaving, an affectionate look expressed all the love.
Ever since Turalyon disappeared, the Alliance was suddenly short of manpower, and Duke racked his brains to finally divide the team.
Those who went to the construction area were: Magni, Gavinrad, Benedictus, Alleria, Vereesa, Edwin VanCleef, and Ilucia.
Those who went to the military zone were: Tirion, Liadrin, Calia, Tyrande, Sylvanas, Vanessa, and Jaina.
Including Duke who went into the Spider Zone alone, there were exactly fifteen people.
The rest of the people either defended the Alliance territory or went to support Varian.
"Oh! My former 40-man hero team!" I wonder when I can get an all-star hero team together again.
Shaking his head to get rid of the terrible reality from his mind, Duke turned around and set off.
On his retina, Duke's vision had completely changed. Unlike other heroes who advanced slowly and cautiously, Duke was simply reckless.
After such a long period of secret observation, and by attaching various magic gadgets to unsuspecting insects and even undead, the three-dimensional map of Naxxramas had long been imprinted in Duke's mind. Although he also gave a copy to Jaina and Ilucia, the two female mages obviously did not have such a superb positioning ability as Duke.
Mainstream mages would use Flash only after they had seen that the landing point was empty. Du was different. He scanned the system directly to confirm that it was safe, regardless of whether there were obstacles on the road or visual barriers. He located the location directly in space.
And Duke was very cunning. He dodged to blind spots that even the undead could not sense, or to high rooftops.
Of course, we also avoided the spider webs that were almost everywhere in the area.
Don't underestimate the spider webs that seem to be gathering dust in the corners. Because every little spider here is a descendant of the boss of the spider area - the giant spider Maxner.
This large female spider, which seemed to be as big as a small hill, was the ancestor of all spiders and also their ruler. Any foreign existence, as long as it was not from the spider zone, would almost always be discovered immediately.
Except... Duke!
Originally, if the black witch Farina was still there, she might have felt the strong arcane fluctuations caused by Duke's high-speed Flash. But Farina was transferred to the central control area at this time. And Maxner, who relied too much on physical perception, did not notice Duke's arrival.
Because almost every time Duke paused, his toes would touch a stone that was not covered by spider webs, or even a candlestick protruding high in the air, or even a torch.
To a mortal guard, if a torch suddenly went out somewhere, it would certainly attract attention.
Spiders are different. The candlesticks that are always lit are places that spider webs cannot reach. Small spiders will not go there either. But the candlesticks are necessary for the believers of the curse sect. Because most of them are just living people, not undead creatures that use their souls to see the way.
That's where the blind spot is.
Maixner's lair was a huge cylindrical tower with a diameter of at least a hundred meters. The dark top led to nowhere, and the deep hole covered by dense, crisscrossing spider webs seemed to lead to hell.
Strange purple square stones with golden decorative lace almost completely cover the entire cylindrical tower. The only entrance is a huge gap that is two stories high and can accommodate about three trucks passing through in parallel.
That is for the giant spider Maxner to enter and exit, but on normal days, the entire gap would be covered by three layers of spider webs inside and outside.
Logically speaking, no creature should be able to silently bypass Maxner's perception and enter its nest.
Duke is an exception!
Following the Road set by the system, Duke transformed his body into a streak of arcane light, so thin and long that even the fluctuations of the arcane elements did not touch the spider web.
The next moment, Duke had flown above Maxner's body.
At this moment, the giant female spider looked just as Duke had remembered it, with sickle-shaped hairy legs that were enough to traumatize any woman. Each leg was attached to the thickest spider silk, and even if someone touched the thinnest strand of silk thousands of meters away, the vibration would be fed back to Maxner.
Then the invader can easily be besieged and killed by spiders that swarm from all directions, from the sky and from the ground.
But Duke evaded all such perceptions magnificently.
This is Duke's advantage!
It's also Duke's killing move!
Only by killing the boss at the end of the spider area as quickly as possible can you join up with the other two teams.
Duke draws his sword!
The strange spiral sword was like a dark shadow, silent and motionless, until the tip of the sword touched Maxner's head, when it suddenly lit up with the brightest golden light.
The golden light that bloomed in an instant had the most brilliant colors, as if it instantly replaced the dark space.
The special effect of the divine sword——Slay demons and slay evilis activated!
If the first half of this sword is like a call from hell, strange and mysterious, then the second half is a typical earth-shaking and spring thunder!
A bright golden light came silently and forcefully from the back of the head, and it was an extremely powerful and astonishing sword!
Maxner didn't even have time to tremble in fear. He had to take the sword head-on when he was completely unprepared.
Duke is also dirty!
He is obviously a wizard, but his most powerful move is assassination with the magic sword in his hand.
From killing Sargeras to Archimonde, it has to be said that after countless experiences, Duke's subtle grasp of the timing of assassination has reached perfection.
Coupled with the special effects of the magic sword, this sword is simply destructive! Indestructible!
Even though spiders don't look like creatures with strong defense, their defense is only relative. If you use the Small Steel Cannon that blew the orcs to tears in the Scorching Gorge, you can't smash its skull even if you bombard it for three days and three nights.
But Duke's sneak attack had only one result -
Maxner, the boss of the Spider Zone, who had undergone special transformation and integrated countless evil powers, suddenly stretched out his body, and his terrifying mouth full of spikes opened to its maximum. Spiders have no voice, but Duke could still feel that it seemed to have let out a shrill roar.
Soon, the silent roar came to an abrupt end.
Because under its head, a neat and round black circle appeared. Although all the shells and brain matter in the middle were evaporated by the strong holy light, there was still hazy black gas like fog and foul-smelling slurry flowing down the edge of the circle.
Suddenly, Duke realized something was wrong!
Without even a tenth of a second of hesitation, Duke dodged directly, and the spiral sword pierced into the solid stone wall. The destructive power of the artifact was still quite guaranteed. Although it was a glorious wall that could not allow anyone to stand, Duke pierced a hole in it, allowing Duke to hang on it.
Maxner has changed color!
The surrounding dark power is constantly replenishing Maxner's body...the source is the fortress itself!
The infusion of dark power presents a gorgeous yet strange red color.
Duke stared in amazement as Maxner's black back turned scarlet red and red chili-like barbs grew on the joints of each of its legs. Even more exaggerated was that its body had at least swelled a circle larger.
For a moment, Duke thought Maxner was going to come back to life.
After all, this is Naxxramas, the fortress of the undead. If a living being suddenly resurrected, Duke would not find it strange at all.
but...
Maixner is not resurrected!
Even though its feet were still twitching from time to time under the stimulation of the dark power, as if it would perform various climbing movements in the next second, it had not been resurrected.
In the final analysis, it is just a beast controlled and bound by dark forces, not a true undead creature.
Duke still felt uneasy when he saw the system prompt to kill the boss.
Flashing up again, Duke added another sword strike, allowing the holy light and flames to flow through Maxner's blood vessels or pipes into his whole body.
Seeing the huge spider burning and curled up due to nerve reflex, Duke was completely relieved this time.
It is definitely a sin to knock down a boss without touching his corpse.
When Duke burned the spider silk and opened a treasure chest that was wrapped in spider silk countless times, Duke was surprised, happy and confused.
What was surprising was that Duke discovered a large number of high-quality spoils: Twisted Limbs, Digested Silk Robe, and Glorious Cloak, these three pieces of cloth armor were actually top-quality items that surpassed the level of Mount Hyjal. Logically speaking, in history, this should be the spoils that only appeared when Naxxramas came out to cause trouble for the second time.
Based on this inference, when converted into the game, it would not be level 60, but level 80 Naxxramas.
This is also what confuses Duke. It seems that there are still quite a few level 60 equipment.
So what the hell is this?
The good news is that Duke unexpectedly found 8 fragments of the artifact Atiesh 's legendary guardian staff in the spoils.
That's a chicken stick!
Duke has been obsessed with the artifact staff ever since he inherited Medivh's legacy!
Duke's hands were shaking with excitement and ecstasy.
However, Duke suppressed his excitement. He thought of the scene where Naxxramas turned into a huge block of ice to block C'Thun's attack.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Lich King's power that has amplified the monsters and bosses in the entire fortress... Then the other two teams are in danger."
With this thought in mind, Duke no longer cared about anything else. He poured all the spoils into the space bag, then directly activated a series of Flash to leave.
Just inject a ray of shadow magic into the giant spider's body...
Naxxramas was very lively at this time.
A large number of bugs died in the last freeze, and along with it, a large number of low- and mid-level Scourge soldiers also died. But the Skybreaker rushed forward without a care in the world.
No Undead knew that the huge golden eagle figurehead was actually a ramming horn. When the collision was about to happen, the eagle's beak stretched forward and easily pierced a large hole in the outer wall of the fortress, which was already riddled with holes.
When the collision stopped, the gun ports on both sides of the Skybreaker were fully opened, plowing through almost everything threatening in sight.
After dropping off the heroic squad, the Skybreaker was able to retreat on its own, and together with the Black Pearl and two other flying battleships, it used cables to tow Naxxramas tightly, and set up an artillery formation, hitting Naxxramas hard at 50 meters, which was almost zero distance for an artillery battle.
Not only that, they also sent out the '101st Airborne Division' that someone had organized out of mischief. This elite team of dwarven gunners, human warriors, and paladin professionals had only 300 people, but they were rooted like nails at the entrance of the fortress, using artillery fire as cover, leaving a way out for the Alliance's strong team.
"Farina! You continue to command the fortress and let each leader guard his own defense zone. At the same time, annihilate the invaders. I must control the fortress again!" Kel'Thuzad used magic to inform Farina in a somewhat exasperated manner.
Unless he was willing to abandon the fortress, abandon the entire undead army, and run back to Icecrown Fortress in disgrace with a few leaders, and be prepared to withstand the wrath of the Lich King, he had to hold on to the end.
"Thump, thump, thump!" As if it were an inflatable fat man's hatred, it rushed towards the Alliance's airborne division with rusty chains and grappling hooks covered with dark red blood stains, with heavy steps.
"Ready - fire!" With the shouts of Justin Barrett, the captain of the Skybreaker and a senior commander of the Alliance, the sharpest dwarf gunners accurately fired shells into the deep and spacious passages.
The roar of the 155mm Cannon was so loud that it shook the sky and the earth. Even if it missed the target, it could turn the area within a radius of dozens of meters into scorched earth.
Hit it?
hehe!
See that abominable stitched monster nearly 4 meters tall made of decayed flesh?
It was beaten into a meat paste, and even the rotten meat was charred and turned gray in mid-air!
Under the cover of such powerful artillery fire, even the Death Knights with their undead warhorses would find it difficult to launch a strong attack on the elite Alliance troops nailed to the entrance of the passage under the artillery fire.
In the dim main control room, hundreds of light screens were constantly flashing, showing both real-time battle images and various data symbolizing the comparison of troop strength.
No matter how you look at it, the Scourge is in trouble.
Farina was in a panic.
"Let the third squadron of death knights make up for it and attack the Alliance at the entrance of the passage."
"Where's the Gargoyle Army?"
"Do we still have an ice dragon?"
While she and her low-level lich subordinates were busy in the command post, no one noticed that the spider web that originally covered the outside of the main control room had quietly changed color. From the original bright white filaments, it turned into a dull color.
It's not their fault. No one would have thought that the leader of the Spider Zone, Maxner, would be killed silently by a single blow.
However, as the command center and core of Naxxramas, it is certainly not easy to break into here.
In addition to the continuous spider webs covering the entire outside of the main control room, there are also hundreds of Death Knight elites and Abomination troops guarding it. More importantly, there is a magic shield with no blind spots.
If it is a verification-type magic shield, there are other ways. Unfortunately, since someone pretended to be Kel'Thuzad and successfully sneaked into the frost dragon's lair last time, and rescued Tyrande and Sylvanas, who were most favored by Kel'Thuzad, it would be an insult to the wisdom of the Scourge leaders if there is no new trick.
The Scourge's protection strategy for this is to reject all outsiders when the war begins!
Duke, who was hiding in the dark, frowned: "This is a bit tricky!"
Foreseeing the upcoming series of battles, Duke tried to save as much energy as possible for himself, but after weighing the pros and cons, Duke decided not to hold back.
"Do it!" Duke's eyes became fierce, and his whole body suddenly flashed with a bright arcane light.
I didn't choose Invisibility because there was no point in sneaking in since I would be discovered 100%.
"Who!?" The Death Knight, who was conscientious in his duties, immediately spotted Duke: "Enemy——"
The miserable soul-cry of the leading Death Knight instantly echoed in the minds of every undead around him.
Not only the guards, but also the surrounding magic defense array responded.
Accompanied by the alarm sound that sounded soft to living people but extremely harsh to undead, the magic tower, which had been on combat readiness early on, directly shot dozens of violent Shadow Arrows at Duke.
This is no ordinary shadow magic. The purity of its magic power is enough to make ordinary Antonidas wizards astonished, not to mention the strange curse properties contained in the magic power.
If it was an ordinary Great Master Grand Magus, even one hit would be enough to kill him.
In this scene, the Shadow Arrow Rain rushed towards Duke with a whistling momentum, destroying everything and being unstoppable.
Of course, Duke can activate Ice Barrier to open a refrigerator, adjust the concentration of his own frost elements to the highest level, and reject other magic elements as much as possible.
But what next?
Duke made a decision that no one could have imagined.
He kept moving at a high speed and with long strides.
"Idiot!" The Death Knight leader forced a sarcastic expression on his face, which had not yet completely decayed.
That's the worst option!
The worst option!
How could a mortal with flesh and blood resist such a concentrated magic power?
You know, even if Kel'Thuzad himself came, he would not be able to withstand this wave of shadow arrows without using a powerful magic shield.
There was a loud "boom" and only the sound of an explosion was heard, and the impact of shadow energy spread.
The marble floor tiles, which were so solid that even the Frost Dragon could not break them and were reinforced with a magic protective array, were instantly beaten into a honeycomb. The sculptures and decorations on both sides of the passage were easily destroyed in the aftermath of the shadow energy, turning into powder and drifting away with the wind.
Not to mention Duke who was attacked by Shadow Arrow Rain.
In that instant, it was as if the perfect demon king Sargeras himself had unleashed his wrath of thunder. With the sound of breaking wind, the shadow arrows shot from the magic towers in all directions could no longer be called arrows. The black lightning as thick as a water tank was simply a Cannon with unparalleled power.
With a "puff" sound, a large ball of black flames that was so thick that it had become tangible fell on the ground where Duke was. An area of ground that was half the size of a football field disappeared silently, and a bottomless hole was blasted out in the ground. Only the aftermath of the shadow energy similar to black smoke that instantly rose from the ground told what had happened here a moment ago.
After all, no undead had ever seen what the control center's magical protection system looked like when it was activated.
Now they all see it.
This was only the first wave of shadow arrow rain. If all the magic power stored in the magic system was released, what would happen? Wouldn't it break through the entire fortress? Or even sink the fortress, destroying the enemy and the entire lower structure of the fortress?
Seeing this scene, all the undead present couldn't help but feel horrified, but at the same time, they felt a twisted kind of ecstasy!
Who knows, even if a genuine demigod comes, he will be blown to ashes and his soul will be shattered in an instant!
The main control room was naturally alarmed.
Looking at the ground disappearing silently and Duke who had lost his trace, the black witch Farina found that a perverted ecstasy and excitement was rising in her body.
Because the moment the alarm sounded, she recognized that the person coming was Edmund Duke, the one who made Kel'Thuzad and the entire Scourge look humiliated, and even the Lich King Arthas suffered a great defeat at his hands!
Now, such a powerful mortal was actually killed by her - the great black witch!
Isn't this a great achievement?!
"Hahaha! Dead, right? Dead, right? Do you think Naxxramas is your backyard? Do you feel that I can come and go as I please in the great kingdom of the dead? Hahaha! How dare you disobey the great Lich King? Destruction will be your only end!" There was a sickly blush on Farina's delicate face.
She suddenly thought, if Duke didn't die directly in the attack just now, but was half dead, such as only the upper body was left. Then she could lead him into the kingdom of death herself. Maybe because of guiding the most powerful Grand Magus to become a great lich, with such an achievement, her position in the Scourge could be raised to a higher level.
A second later, her slightly pink pupils suddenly shrank.
There was a look of horror on her delicate face, and her pink shoulder-length hair was shaking as her body trembled.
What did she see?
A shadow that shouldn't exist!
It was a shadow energy aggregate that was completely different from the overflowing energy. No one knew what it was, but it was obviously not a natural creation.
Under the gazes of hundreds of undead, the shadow energy that seemed to be dissipating a quarter of an hour ago gathered together in the next moment and formed a standard human shape.
Black hair, black facial features, black skin, and even black clothes, there is no part of this male mage's body that is not filled with shadow energy.
What made the undead even more terrified was that the shadow elements floating around began to converge on him frantically like rivers flowing into the sea. The shadow elements injected into him every second were enough to create ten Antonidas-level shadow wizards, but his absorption of shadow power seemed to have no end.
Impossible!!
The undead who had wanted to watch the show and pick up a piece of bone of the strongest man in the Alliance to show off were all stunned.
That's shadow energy!
Compared with the positive energy representing life - the sacred energy, the power of shadow is recognized as the power of the dead!
Why could Duke ignore such a terrifying rain of shadow arrows?
Moreover, he himself possesses a shadow energy so powerful that even the leader-level warriors can only look up to him! ?
What's going on?
Not to mention the Death Knights, even Farina who was still in the control room was stunned and completely lost the ability to speak at this moment.
Duke stepped out of the shadow form and returned to his original appearance, with a completely nonchalant attitude on his face. He smiled faintly, glanced around, and slowly said: "Do you have any other tricks? While I'm still standing here, if you want to attack me, you at least have one chance. If I attack you later, you won't have this chance if you want to attack me again."
Going deep into the enemy camp is like strolling in the garden.
When faced with a siege, treat the enemy as nothing.
What a spirit and confidence this is!
For a moment, almost every Scourge member with a brain was trembling. The ghostly fire in the Death Knight's eyes was swaying. Farina's charming body was shaking like a sieve.
"Kel'Thuzad, come to the control room quickly!" Farina screamed.
But... no response.
The magic message that was supposed to be transmitted to the outside world suddenly hit a layer of purple-blue arcane energy outside the main control room. The arcane energy formed a larger cover, tightly wrapping the main control room, and all magic based on arcane elements was eliminated and absorbed by this cover.
This is the crushing of lower-level mysteries by higher-level mysteries.
As long as one's magic level is not higher than Duke's, no one can use magic to send messages in a limited space.
"Maixena! Maixena! Sound the alarm! Quickly inform Kel'Thuzad!" Farina grabbed a thick spider silk in the main control room. As the leader of the spider zone, she knew that as long as she pulled the main trunk of the spider, the big spider would definitely sense it immediately.
But she pulled it dozens of times in a row, and all the movements were silenced.
Farina's heart suddenly skipped a beat and sank.
The door of the main control room suddenly fell down with a bang. The huge and heavy silver door fell to the ground, crushing the two Scourge Skeleton Warriors guarding the door underneath, turning them into a pile of broken bones.
Without even thinking, Farina used Poison Arrow Rain with her left hand and Fire Rain with her right hand and directly covered the gate.
Logically speaking, this horrible venom magic is enough to turn the fifty abominations into a pool of pus in an instant, killing them instantly without leaving any body behind.
High-intensity flames have similar power.
However, as Farina's few trump cards, these two spells were easily offset. Duke didn't even use any additional counter-magic. He just stood at the gate and used Wide-area Ice Shield to withstand the attack.
Be it venom or fire, when these two magics hit the shield, they were all blown aside by the clockwise rotating ice wind tornado.
Duke even managed to separate the venom from the fire and bounce them off.
The venom with a strong stench corroded all the intermediate liches on Farina's left hand side into a mass of disgusting bone mixture.
The flames that had been extinguished burned the lich on the right into ashes, and even the ashes were blown away by the strong wind.
Farina couldn't help but shudder. She was originally still hoping that if she could use the magic defense system to kill Duke, no, even if she succeeded in resisting, she would become a great contributor to the Scourge.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The defense of the control room is almost the strongest defense in Naxxramas. This is a defense system that can easily kill even a Dawn-level warrior. If even this level of defense can't stop Duke, then apart from Kel'Thuzad, who doesn't know if he has any more cards, there will probably be no one in the entire Naxxramas who can be Duke's opponent.
Suddenly, Farina threw away the staff in her hand and raised her hands high in surrender. Then, she knelt down and prostrated herself to Duke.
"Don't... don't kill me! I surrender!" Her voice was clearly trembling with fear, but for some reason, Farina's voice sounded extremely charming.
It was also a kneeling posture that was almost like an ORZ. Because of the angle, when Farina raised her head and looked at Duke with a pitiful look, at this subtle angle, Farina's Mariana Trench could be seen intentionally or unintentionally from the drooping collar.
Well, not only is it white, but it also seems bottomless, which makes people want to find out what's inside!
And looking down, that round and perky butt also has a very strong visual impact.
"Great Commander of the Alliance, I surrender. the Alliance does not kill prisoners, right? I am willing to do anything you want, even to become the most humble servant in Edmund's mansion... I only ask... I only ask that you, the great one, can spare my life. I am willing to offer you my loyalty and soul." As he spoke, a look of sadness appeared on his face and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Her pitiful temperament, coupled with her black lace robe that looked like mourning clothes, really fits the old saying "If you want to look pretty in mourning clothes, you have to look pretty in mourning clothes."
Such a scene...
If Duke didn't know Farina's background, he might have been soft-hearted and chosen to die in order to complete the special achievement of Widow Collection.
Duke strode forward, sneered, grabbed Farina's neck with his left hand, and played a game of lifting Farina up.
"Ahem! No! Spare my life..." This time, Farina was so frightened that she wanted to struggle subconsciously, but she was afraid that her struggle would really anger Duke. Because she found that Duke's left arm not only had a huge force comparable to that of a tauren, but also had a very subtle gesture of pinching her neck - his thumb and index finger were against her chin, and the other fingers were also very strong, but not enough to make her unable to breathe or speak, but just made her uncomfortable.
There's still drama! ?
When Farina gave up resisting and was ready to continue selling her body, Duke's words reached her ears like the devil from hell.
"I didn't kill you right away because I wanted you to die knowingly. Do you really think I don't know your dirty deeds? You married six young nobles one after another, and like a black widow spider, you eliminated them all without leaving any trace. By inheriting your late husband's fortune, you became one of the richest women in all of Lordaeron during Terenas' reign."
Farina's face turned pale in an instant: "No, this is all...slander, I didn't kill them..."
"Haha!" Duke looked at the mentally retarded boy with concern.
His sharp black eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in the world made Farina feel guilty: "No! Really, they all died in accidents."
"Well, it was unexpected, for people of this era. Otherwise, you wouldn't have changed six husbands in a row, which aroused suspicion. So many people couldn't find anything wrong with you." Duke smiled: "I have to say, when it comes to patience and creativity in killing people, I really can't think of anyone who can compare to you!"
Farina's body trembled violently, and for a moment, she wanted to burst out all the magic power in her body and fight to the death. But she soon found that Duke's hand not only pinched her neck, but also blocked all her magic circuits in one breath. Now she really became a weak woman with no power to fight a chicken.
I can only continue to sell pitiful things!
"Your first husband actually had epilepsy, and he would occasionally rush into the water on his own. You didn't use any magic, but just used a lot of psychological suggestion when he was sleeping, which induced his illness. As a result, he jumped into the river and drowned three days after the marriage."
Farina shuddered all over. Although she didn't understand what epilepsy was, it was indeed a symptom.
"Your second husband was very fat. In fact, he had high blood pressure and high blood lipids. So when you got engaged, you kept rewarding him with large amounts of cheese and high-fat foods. As a result, he fell ill less than a week after the marriage. He died without even touching your body. Well, for people of this era, there is no solution to heart disease caused by blocked blood vessels."
Duke went on talking one by one. When he finished telling the causes of death of Farina's six ex-husbands, the black witch had stopped trembling. If she hadn't been breathing weakly, anyone would have thought she was dead.
She knew that Duke would never let her go.
This is also the case. Although Duke is a well-known enemy of the Queen, and almost all the queens in the world are rumored to have had an affair with Duke, even if this is just a rumor, it reflects how picky Duke's taste is.
How could Duke, with his taste for beauty, covet a black widow of humble origin who had killed six husbands?
It was ridiculous that she had a moment just now when she thought that she could make Duke fall in love with her by surrendering and selling her beauty, and even let him hand over the power of the Alliance to her...
'Men conquer the world, women conquer men', this iron rule that had always worked for her, hit a wall this time and shattered to pieces.
At the very end, Farina asked: "I want to know, what happened to Maxner?"
Duke smiled and said nothing. He threw out a huge jawbone from the space bag. The jawbone, which was still stained with fresh blood, could be made into a tribal and barbaric two-handed hammer with just a little processing. This was also true in history, because the name of the 213-level epic hammer was Jawbone.
Farina was in despair! Completely in despair!
She really couldn't imagine that Duke could kill such a powerful beast leader who was the best at reconnaissance without making any noise.
No wonder he was able to rescue people right under Kel'Thuzad's nose last time. It turns out that the mighty Scourge fortress Naxxramas is like his own backyard in Duke's eyes!
Without the hope of survival, and with the last fig leaf torn off, there was no need to hide the hostile stance any more. Farina screamed at the top of her lungs: "It's useless for you to kill me! My soul will return to the Lich King. Next time, I will come back as the most powerful lich! But remember this! You destroyed my beauty! Forced me to become a dirty and ugly undead! I will make you pay a thousand times for this...ah——"
"Shut up!" Duke snorted coldly.
The black witch could no longer speak, as her entire body was tightly wrapped in a darker shadow force. The shadow energy, which looked like a large black egg, was madly injected into her body. She refused, but the shadow force still forced its way into her regardless.
Her body simply could not withstand such a huge amount of shadow energy. In less than three seconds, her body had completely melted in this ball of shadow energy.
The evil black witch Farina is dead!
This is not the end.
However, her soul did not return to the banner of the Lich King as she wished, waiting for the Lich King to wake up and grant her new life, allowing her to become a powerful lich like Kel'Thuzad.
Soon, accompanied by the cold wind of the soul, the next moment, Farina's soul emerged from the shadow energy.
She stared with wide eyes, staring at everything in front of her with shock and anger.
She opened her mouth, but all that came out was a silent roar. She tried to express her anger and dissatisfaction by all means, but unfortunately, it was useless.
What appeared before her was a soul prison that was extremely large and solid for her, completely banishing all the power she had in her lifetime.
When she looked up, she saw Duke's big face with a playful expression outside the soul barrier.
Yes! Compared to her soul, which had shrunk to the size of a palm, Duke's stature was undoubtedly huge.
"Impossible! How did you do it? This is definitely not the realm of a wizard!" Farina let out a sharp scream.
In terms of decibels, Farina's screams had reached the level of a "banshee's wail."
Unfortunately, this is a soul cage built by Duke, how could he harm himself?
Duke smiled and responded with the voice of the soul: "I'm sorry, your Scourge's intelligence on me is too behind the times. Didn't anyone tell you that I gained the power of shadows after being struck by Archimonde's Finger of Death during the Battle of Mount Hyjal?"
If Duke hadn't said anything about his transformation into a Void Lord during the War of the Ancients, the Burning Legion wouldn't have exposed the truth. Kil'jaeden, who was deeply ashamed, wouldn't have revealed the truth to Ner'zhul, who was still a poor soul slave at the time.
Under the double concealment, this secret from ten thousand years ago became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Farina.
"I won't..." Farina didn't finish her words.
Her soul had been ignited like dry firewood.
Although the soul should not have the sense of touch, I felt the temperature of my whole body rise sharply, and the hot and torturous feeling spread throughout my body.
She subconsciously took off her spiritual coat, but even taking off her clothes did not make her feel any drop in temperature.
On the contrary, Farina now felt as if her soul was being roasted on the crater of an erupting volcano. The extremely high temperature seemed to be able to burn her soul to ashes at any time, completely destroying it.
"No - I...ah -" Farina's soul screamed with all her might to vent the pain from the depths of her soul.
"Is it painful?"
"Desperate?"
"If you want to be free, just surrender to me."
Duke stretched out a finger, easily broke through the soul barrier, and gently poked Farina's spiritual belly.
In terms of size, the shrunken soul of the black witch is now about the size of a Barbie doll.
Her whole body was burning with the flames of her soul, and she instinctively sought anything that could save her, just like a drowning person who would grab anything he could when he was about to die.
Farina immediately felt the cool breath coming from Duke's little finger, and without hesitation, she hugged him.
The scene looked very strange. A beautiful soul, like a doll, was hugging a little finger that was like a pillar, greedily seeking the coolness coming from the little finger.
"Huh? Are you using my fingers as a pillow?" Duke teased.
But the next moment, Duke withdrew his finger.
Farina's soul miserably hit the soul barrier and fell into the flames of soul punishment again. She couldn't help but scream and groan in pain once again.
"Black witch! Submit to me, Edmund Duke! Otherwise you will be tortured in this eternal flame for at least ten thousand years!"
"Ten thousand years? No - spare me, I can't go on for even a minute!" Crying and shouting, Farina, who had turned into a little soul, decisively gave up her little reserve.
Is she a vicious woman? Yes! Otherwise there wouldn't be the classic six murders.
Is she a determined person? No! She strives to enter the upper class and enjoy the most luxurious life. She has never been a hardworking person.
After realizing that her soul could no longer escape and had to endure the most terrible punishment for her soul, the only thing she could do now was to wag her tail and beg for mercy from the master of this prison, Master Duke, who also controlled her soul!
Duke put his finger in again, and the doll-sized Farina held Duke's little finger and kissed it madly. She couldn't wait to show Duke her most precious thing.
Of course, this does not refer to her delicate body that has seduced countless young male nobles in Lordaeron, but the data and information about the Scourge.
Duke could certainly use the soul-searching technique, but the problem was that the soul-searching technique was only used when the difference in soul power between the two was too great, and it was easy to make mistakes for the leader-level souls.
For example, if the other party's will is strong enough, you may get nothing, or just a fragmented soul information.
It's like even if Arthas killed his mentor Uther, he couldn't do anything with Uther's soul.
Therefore, making the other party surrender is the most ideal.
"Duke - Edmund Duke! I, Farina, beg for your mercy and let me, a humble soul slave, become your loyal soul slave! Serve you! Burn to ashes for you -"
Farina, like a little doll, held Duke's fingers, seeking the cold touch. At this moment, after she poured out everything she knew, she knew that there was no turning back. No matter what the reason was, Kel'Thuzad and the Lich King Arthas would never forgive her.
Because what she provided was a secret list of curse sects lurking within the various countries in the Alliance!
"Haha! Conscious! Okay, then you can be my elemental messenger." This time, Duke was really satisfied.
"Praise you! Great master--" Farina let go of her soul and allowed Duke's shadow power to invade every corner of her soul.
The only thing she desires now is to be completely conquered by the other party and to satisfy her empty and frightened soul.
It sounds ironic, doesn't it, to desire a stronger backer and more power because of betrayal?
It was just like that. Farina's previous pursuits and concerns about the Scourge, all of which had disappeared from her mind as the power of shadow continued to be injected into her.
She was like a most loyal hound, eager for orders from her master. In the painful moans brought by the shadow power strengthening her soul, she prayed for the arrival of the master's orders that symbolized happiness.
When Farina came to her senses, she found herself back in the main control room, facing dozens of flashing magic mirror screens.
Duke still stood in front of her with a smile on his face.
She raised her hands in astonishment and found that her body was still there.
"Am I okay?" Farina asked herself in astonishment.
The next second, she realized that she had changed. She was still breathing, she was still considered "alive", but what supported her life was no longer her heart and brain, but the shadow energy lurking in her heart and every bone.
Apart from her life signs, she is already a shadow elemental life form in her bones.
Moreover, at least half of her soul was controlled by Duke. She could clearly feel this.
Suddenly her whole body trembled, she moved her mouth, and finally lowered her head and said to Duke: "Master!"
"Great! You know what I'm going to do, right?"
The black witch was very smart and understood everything immediately. She immediately emphasized: "I cannot give orders to a leader-level being."
Duke didn't care: "As long as all other troubles go away."
"Understood!" The black witch took a deep breath and turned around. She was once again the temporary commander who had the power to command all the beings other than the leader-level in the entire Naxxramas: "Attention all undead creatures, we must concentrate our forces and drive out all those damn alliances in one go. The Third Death Knights, rush to area E3 immediately. The Fifth Abomination Corps, go..."
Farina methodically gathered all the troops in Naxxramas towards the Skybreaker.
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with her conducting.
But considering that she even transferred the troops that were fighting against two powerful teams of the Alliance, that's funny.
"Damn it! What's going on? Is that stupid woman just going to let those Alliance warriors come in and out as they please?" The Death Knights who were about to snipe Magni and the others couldn't help but curse.
"Follow orders, Capis! Aren't there still four knights guarding the military zone?"
Death Knights were all knights or even paladins in their lifetime. They inherited their martial arts and military discipline. Even if they were reluctant, they still chose to obey orders.
The result was that the Alliance heroes saw the undead army that was originally rushing towards them retreat like a tide.
"What the hell?" Magni muttered.
The heroes looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this time, the Alliance near the Skybreaker had a deeper understanding.
When the Skybreaker Captain Justin Barrett saw that the enemy had concentrated almost all their forces here, his face turned pale. Who knew that the next moment, Naxxramas would undergo a huge change.
