Chapter 80 - Transactions
………
It was unusually quiet in the Silver Pine Forest. The faint morning mist echoed on the moist land covered with pine needles. Nathanos could feel the soft and fluffy soles of his feet, and could smell the rich aroma of evergreen wood in the air. But he had no time to appreciate it.
Something full of life.
After leaving Lordaeron, Nathanos has been looking for traces of the Dreadlords. According to his understanding of those demons, they will not leave here willingly, and they must still be lingering nearby.
He soon found them in a dense forest on the outskirts. A dim green light shone deep in the forest. Three huge demons flapped their wings, revealing their inner anxiety. Nathanos hid in the distance and stole
Listen to their conversation.
Balnazzar was the first to speak to break the silence. "The situation seems a bit unexpected, my brothers. The power of the Lich King has declined."
It was indeed the case, Nathanos felt the same, and now he had to rely on his own will to control his excitement and prevent it from showing in his voice.
Varimathras and Deserok exchanged glances, with twisted smiles on their faces. The former said in a gloating voice: "This means that his ability to control the undead of natural disasters has weakened."
This was indeed good news, but it was not enough for Nathanos. He had to determine Arthas' situation, and the Dreadlord happened to mention the death knight.
"What will happen to Alsace?" Deserok asked.
Balnazzar shook his hand disdainfully. "Although his rune sword, Frostmourne, contains powerful magic, Arthas' own power will slowly dry up. This is inevitable."
After getting the answer, Deselok looked angry and fanatical. It seemed that what Arthas said to them before had affected the cunning Dread Lord.
"The Lich King's lackey may be right. Lord Archimonde is dead and the Burning Legion may have been defeated, but we are Nathrezim. We must never let pretentious humans get on top of us.
"He paused and looked at his two similar people one by one. "Alsace must die!"
Varimathras's glowing red eyes were fixed on him. "The lich Kel'Thuzad is loyal and will never betray his master, but the same cannot be said for others. We must seize the opportunity and immediately
Take action."
'These guys are going to overthrow the rule of Alsace?' Nathanos thought to himself. He was looking forward to such an ending, but... he wasn't really looking forward to it. Who would take over after Alsace is defeated? Isn't it this group of people?
Dreadlord?
Nathanos had his own reasons for revenge, but he knew that his hatred was mainly against the Lich King, which he could not hide. Hatred burned fiercely in his heart, but it did not make him blind. Al
Of course, Sasse's crime cannot be punished, but he should not be the only one who executes him, there are many people who also hate him.
'I should join their actions and... stop them!' Nathanos also fled into the shadows when the Dread Lords disappeared.
'In my own way.'
A smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
…
The coup happened very quickly, even beyond Nathanos's expectations. The royal city of Lordaeron was ablaze, and the movement was huge.
Although he was used to waiting, Nathanos couldn't help but stamp his feet. He led some low-level undead to guard an intersection. These soldiers were recruited by him, and the effect was much better than he imagined. Whenever he met
As long as some scattered undead still retain their consciousness, he only needs to roar to let those sluggish corpses know their level, and then force them to obey him.
In a short period of time, a lot of undead gathered around him, and there were even a few suture monsters.
Now, he had to wait patiently for someone. That person had what he wanted. Fortunately, he didn't wait long, otherwise Nathanos would have almost thought that his plan had failed.
"I'm glad you escaped, Kel'Thuzad. And you, Lord Rivendell, how is your precious Stitch Monster Ramsden?" Nathanos happily admired the lich and the lich who came to the intersection.
Death Knight. He mentioned Stitch Ramsden, the big guy he fought against in Quel'Thalas.
"Nathanos?" Kel'Thuzad seemed a little surprised to see him, and he noticed that there were a considerable number of undead behind him.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you hear the movement in Lordaeron? Take your people and me back immediately to support King Arthas."
Nathanos sneered, "Of course I'm waiting for you, Lich, to save your king."
His words made Kel'Thuzad wary.
Wait for me? Your king? These uneasy words made the Lich feel upset, and he and Rivendell looked at each other.
"What do you mean? Why don't you go? Don't you?"
"I have regained my freedom, Kel'Thuzad. You are the same, but you are willing to be the Lich King's slave, but I am different. I hate your master, and one day, I will send him to hell."
Nathanos's eyes flashed with blood, and he tightened his grip on the longbow.
"Bold!" Kel'Thuzad roared, "Come here, kill this traitor immediately."
No one responded to him, and the Lich stared at the corpses in surprise.
"No more wasted effort. The Lich King's control over them is gone. Now they obey only the one who ordered them in the first place, me."
"You have been ambushing here for a long time? Waiting for us?" Rivendell now looked as restless as his skeleton horse.
"I'm waiting for you, but you're not a prey that has fallen into a trap. I said, I'm waiting for you, to be precise, you, Kel'Thuzad. I'm waiting for you to save Arthas."
Nathanos' words confused the Lich. Like Rivendell, he thought that the other party was waiting for him to die. But his tone didn't sound like he wanted to kill them. Soon, the cunning Kerr
Sugard understood that Nathanos was here to bargain with him.
"What do you want?"!
"Hand over the Book of Medivh, Lich. Then, the soldiers behind me will be given to you to command. With their help, you will be able to rescue Arthas." Nathanos stated his ultimate goal.
This sounded like a deal, but Kel'Thuzad understood that he had no choice at all, but he was confused, why didn't Nathanos just kill him and take what he wanted?
The situation was serious, and the Lich stretched out his bloodless claws without even thinking about it. A book with a raven pattern appeared in his hand, and then floated in front of Nathanos.
"Wise choice. Let's see if you can make it in time."
Kel'Thuzad watched directly as he took the Book of Medivh into the darkness, and the last thing that disappeared was the pair of blood-red eyes.
