Chapter 97 - Emblem
…………
When Nathanos' footsteps once again landed on the land of Maris Farm, he finally felt that the world had opened up - in other places, the world was dark, and he was restricted everywhere and walked with difficulty. Although he could not breathe under the night
The clean and fragrant air couldn't help him breathe out, but he knew that it had never really left him. He was still here. This was his land, not those of the Scarlet Crusaders.
Today was the fifth attack. Nathanos drew another stroke on the broken door panel, and then wrote a number next to the stroke, representing the crusaders who came to Maris Farm to die this time.
The attack started a week ago. A Crusader patrol from Haven County discovered this place and him. The two sides started fighting without saying a word. Those guys were really crazy, shouting "Holy Saint".
"Light above", then brandishing their giant swords and heavy hammers, they charged towards the undead they found.
Nathanos didn't know what kind of army the Crusaders were. He thought they were the resisters of Lordaeron. So he didn't kill them at first, he just wounded them and let them go. But who knew?
The next day, more humans wearing bloody shirts came. Nathanos discovered them early. He relied on the higher terrain of the farm to repel them with bows and arrows. Just like the first time, he did not kill them.
He wanted to kill the other party alone. He thought that by doing so, the other party would know how to retreat from difficulties, but those humans were more persistent than he imagined.
In order to prevent others from disturbing him, he went on a killing spree during his fourth attack the day before yesterday, and then burned the fallen corpses. Today, he came to the Crusaders in the early morning before dawn.
Every time they appear, dig a trap and set an ambush there to defeat them all.
The undead dogs that had followed him from Quel'Thalas were waiting for him. The wagging tail seemed to say: I'm so glad to see you home. They were farm hounds given to him by his father, and Nathanos did not have them at first.
He couldn't blame him for recognizing them, their appearance had changed so much.
"It's great to be back home, even though I can only get a short period of peace. Why didn't those Crusaders learn to learn their lesson?" He said to himself, and soon thought of it.
Nathanos nodded. Yes, of course those humans hate the undead. At this time, the red ground was filled with plague and dead bodies. Who destroyed people's homes? Nathanos felt guilty. Maris
The farm has now become a transitional space for him between this life and the past life. He cannot commit suicide because the Lich King still exists, and he cannot destroy all those who are enemies of him with hatred. Now,
He just wants to hide himself and avoid the eyes of the world.
On the red earth of the farm, there is also a small bonfire beating, bringing light and warmth to the dark and humid place.
Fire? Nathanos turned to look at the bonfire. He thought of the corpses of the Crusaders he burned. There was nothing waiting to be incinerated by the flames. When the wood burned out, there would only be ashes left. Even those
The ashes will also be carried away by a gust of wind and spread in all directions. Although most humans will bury their dead in the soil, some noble people will be cremated after death, such as King Terenas. They use such a funeral
It shows the world that their souls will be free in the wind and fire. If they want, they can still walk in the world even if they have died.
It was a silent night, but now, Nathanos felt his hair being gently blown by a gust of wind. He turned his head, and at least at this moment, he seemed to be able to hear a soft footsteps. Night.
There was not only silence, the sigh of the breeze added a noisy tranquility to the night. But all of this was interrupted by a few people monitoring the place.
"Are you here to die again?" Nathanos jumped on the roof. He saw the intruders. Ranger Veronara, and Enya. How could it be them? Could it be that the Lich King sent his men to clean up?
Traitor?
No! Nathanos shook his head slightly. The undead troops on this continent are now controlled by Kel'Thuzad and the Dreadlords Varimathras and Deserok who just occupied Lordaeron not long ago. What is puzzling is that Bana
I don't know where Zal went?
"Whoever it is? Don't even think about coming near this place."
first day
Veronara and Enya kept looking this way, and for a moment Nathanos and them looked at each other.
the next day
The two twisted elves disappeared, and it is unknown where they went. But after they left, Nathanos discovered traces of humans near the farm. They were not the Scarlet Crusaders, but a group of people on a reconnaissance mission.
Scout.
The third day
There are traces of elves near the Sodoril River.
The fourth day
Nothing happened.
fifth day
The disappeared Veronara and Enya appeared. They were very bold and broke into Nathanos' territory directly. There were only two of them, and Nathanos did not directly attack. Whoever sent them here, let them
It is definitely not a wise move for the two of them to cause trouble for themselves.
"Long time no see, Nathanos." Enya greeted him first.
"It's better not to see you!" Nathanos jumped down from the roof, "You are not welcome here, no matter what your purpose is, now... please leave here." He turned and walked into the house.
Veronara did not flinch because of his cold attitude, "What if we came to save you?"
Nathanos stopped and turned his head to face her, his eyes beckoning her to continue.
"We discovered that many humans have appeared in the Eastern Plaguelands recently..."
"Eastern Plaguelands." Nathanos murmured, his back still turned to them. "A very appropriate name."
"It's not important." Veronara waved her hand, as if telling Nathanos not to interrupt her. "Those humans are all assassins. It's obvious that they have bad intentions."
"There have been quite a few Crusaders who have come to Maris Farm to die recently. I have become accustomed to their harassment."
"They are not Crusaders." Veronara suddenly stopped speaking. At some point, she held a dirty white handkerchief in her palm. Nathanos turned around and looked at Veronara without saying a word.
Open the handkerchief.
Wrapped in the handkerchief was a bloody blue emblem with some damage. In the center of the emblem was a dagger, with a "VII" underneath.
Nathanos glanced at Enya in confusion and raised his eyebrows questioningly. He thought the behavior of the two rangers was strange, but this emblem was even stranger. But no matter what they were going to do, Nathanos
North must remain vigilant. He stretched out his hand to Verona.
The emblem fell into Nathanos's hand. He recognized what it was almost immediately.
