Chapter 456 27. The End of Darkan
On the night when the high elves set up an ambush to capture the Blood Mistress, Dar'Khan revealed a very important message. He claimed that he had found the greatest weakness of the Lord of Dark Blades, the life and soul of the Lord of the Undead, and the Lord of Blood. As long as the blood mistress is killed, the Dark Blade King will also be severely injured.
This undoubtedly showed the hope of taking a slanted sword to the upper echelons of various countries who were overwhelmed by the dark blade undead at that time.
Of course, it is not that no one has questioned where Darkan got the news from, but Councilor Silver Moon has never responded directly to this point.
Some people suspect that Darkan has placed undercover agents in the Dark Blade Legion, but this sounds impossible, because even the most powerful assassin organization in the world, the Assassin League, can only place spies in the few areas ruled by the Dark Blade. Among the civilian groups in this area, so far, no one has been able to place spies in the Dark Blade Legion.
The characteristics of the undead determine that the living cannot perfectly disguise themselves as one of them, even the most experienced assassins cannot do it.
Darkan Drahir still doesn't have the ability to instigate a certain high-level undead. In fact, all the secrets he knows about Sallein of the Dark Blade come from a letter... In 37 days, it is normal to pass The postal system delivered a letter in his hand.
It was not signed, and there was no letterhead. The person who wrote the letter seemed not to have long-term contact with Darkan. There were even many grammatical errors in the letter. It seemed that it was written in a hurry, but the secret told in it made Darkan His heart trembled because that letter revealed too much information about the Dark Blade King, most of which had not been disclosed before.
Dar'Khan used all means to investigate the source of the letter, and finally locked in the distant Stranglethorn Vale, but all investigations came to an end, because Stranglethorn Vale had become the territory of the Blightcaller at this time, and he was not allowed to enter Among the daredevils, the metropolis will disappear in the belly of those weird plants in the forest.
It can be said that that letter was the most fundamental reason why Darkan took the risk to formulate the plan to capture the blood mistress, and the cooperation between the Silvermoon Council represented by Darkan and the Royal Party has indeed been foolproof. The only loophole is that they miscalculated Moreover, Darkan did not follow the last suggestion in the letter to kill the blood mistress directly after catching it, but chose to imprison her.
The way big men think about things is different from the way soldiers think about things. Imprisoning Alleria will obviously bring more benefits to Quel'Thalas and the Human Empire, but because of the strategy of imprisonment, Only then did the Dark Blade Legion have time to prepare for the rescue, and Tyrion had time to contact the Scourge of the Undead.
To put it bluntly, everything that is happening in Quel'Thalas right now is a tragedy caused by unequal information, but no matter what, the person who wrote that letter has indeed made the ultimate effort of all he can do.
But who wrote the mysterious letter that directly sparked the crisis?
This has always been a doubt in Darkan's heart, but now, this doubt has been revealed...it is this weird black knight in front of him!
"When did the paladins who believe in the Holy Light also stand on the side of the undead?"
Darkan's figure flew across the dense forest that was messed up by energy conflicts. The blood of Salein gave him unimaginable lightness. He stood on the top of a broken tree trunk, and his fingers danced sharply and strangely. The blood arrow roared and stabbed at the black knight who was rushing towards him. The visible holy light formed a shield-like halo on the surface of his body, and the blood arrow hit it, causing ripples of light.
This guy is full of brute force, but Darkan is not worried, he is fully sure that he can get rid of him in a short time!
Facing Darkan's blatant ridicule, the silent paladin didn't say a word. He swung his armor-piercing hammer like the most ferocious warrior. The hammer hit the tree trunk at Darkan's feet, and the scorching holy light erupted in an instant. Open, those sacred runes are suspended in the air, like an energy storm, involving everything around it.
The tree trunk seemed to be hit by a cannonball, and was ignited by the spread of the flame of the holy light, but this imposing blow failed to touch the hem of Darkan's clothes, and his figure danced in the bloody halo Then, he appeared behind the black knight very quickly, the magic of blood did not need to be chanted, the moment Darkan Shi commanded it, a huge amount of blood energy gathered behind him, just like the arrogance of the blood mistress that night.
A lifelike giant blood snake wrapped around Darkan's body. Seeing the paladin smashing the energy giant hammer of the Holy Light Judgment at him, Darkan laughed and disappeared into a bat again, but the giant blood snake was behind him. Under his control, he roared and slammed into the black knight in front of him.
Its speed was extremely fast, and the black knight had nowhere to hide. He slammed the hammer in his hand to the ground, and a thick golden barrier appeared on his body, like the strongest shield. The blood snakes coming over collided together.
"boom"
Two huge forces collided head-on, rolling up the soil under his feet. The black knight's body was unharmed under the protection of the holy light, but he was hit backward by the huge force and hit a slanted On the tree trunk, and the blood snake was also scattered in the burst of holy light energy, but the blood suspended in the air was not volatilized, but like the poison of tarsus, it dissipated at the moment the holy barrier dissipated. , and stuck to the surface of the black knight's body.
Like a jumping snake, under Darkan's order, the blood of Salein seemed to have a life of its own. It twisted its body and drilled into the crack of the black knight's armor. The moment it touched his skin, Like melting, it penetrated deep into his body.
"Holy Light!"
The black knight let out a roar. At this moment, intense holy light poured into his body. Like a flame inside his body, it began to burn and rise. In this way, he wanted to evaporate the blood of Salayne that had penetrated into his body. But at this moment, Darkan's sinister voice sounded behind him:
"You look miserable, friend...let me help you!"
The sudden sound made the black knight grab the hammer and slam it backwards, but the whistling hammer was easily grasped by Darkan's bloody claws. His blood-red eyes were fixed on the black knight in front of him, and the other The fingers of the hand hooked inward, and the next moment, the blood that had seeped into the body of the paladin was called to rush out of the skin. At this moment, the black knight seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows, and wounds burst out all over his body. As blood splattered, his strength dissipated in excruciating pain.
"puff"
Darkan felt the black knight's weakness, and he swung his claws. The power brought by the blood of Salein made his sharp claws shatter the black knight's helmet from top to bottom, leaving 5 wounds on his neck and chest. A ferocious claw mark, and in the burst of blood, his broken body was ruthlessly thrown away.
"boom"
The black knight fell into the mud in embarrassment, his armor-piercing hammer was thrown aside, he struggled to get up, but was stepped on his chest by Darkan who reappeared in the form of a bat.
The blood elf looked down at the black knight, his thin face was covered in blood, but he could barely make out the outline of his company. Under careful observation, Darkan also searched for the elf's identity in his mind's memory. Information, a moment later, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes.
"I know who you are..."
"Alex Aznab Flameblade...one of my students, a promising high-level mage, a staunch member of the Parliament, etc...I remember you and Myra Dawnblade It is a friend who grew up. After Myra betrayed the Knights of the Silver Hand and joined the Dark Blade, you applied to take a paladin to hunt him down. So that's how...you were captured by your childhood friend, and you was drawn into his camp."
A sneer flashed across Darkan's young face, he bent down, looked at the silent black knight Aznab, and said softly:
"Be careful when making friends, Alex, look at you now, you are not human, ghost or ghost... the shame of betrayal, you are in pain, I can see it, let me... end your pain .”
The blood elf stretched out his finger and hooked it in the air, and the black knight's body began to struggle frantically, but it was useless, the scattered blood was drawn out from his body bit by bit, and gathered into a shape before Darkan's eyes. a blood cell.
"Hmm... paladin's blood, it smells delicious."
Darkan's finger tapped on the blood cell, and the next moment, the blood splashed everywhere, turning into a blood mist and covering Darkan's surroundings, and then when Salain closed his eyes, all the blood mist was sucked into Darkan In his body, when he opened his eyes, the blood in his eyes became brighter.
"Ahem...hahahaha"
The black knight trampled by him let out a hoarse laugh at this moment, which made Darkan lower his head, look at the black knight, and asked softly:
"Dying man, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at your ignorance, Master Darkan..."
The black knight Aznab had bruises on his face and the pain of being drawn blood, which made him look very embarrassed, but at this moment he smiled happily. He stared at Darkan, and said softly explain:
"You are the first Salein who dared to suck my blood. You are really... ignorant and fearless."
"!"
Hearing this, Darkan's body immediately turned into a group of vampire bats. He wanted to use this method to expel the blood he had inhaled just now, but it was too late.
The black knight stood up from the ground with difficulty. The holy light on his body seemed to be covered with a layer of dark gauze, turning pale. Between the light connections, there were even strange shadows, and with this energy The blood that was sucked into the body by Darkan also became strange, as if it was full of corrosive poison, the blood became viscous, and began to destroy Darkan's body from the inside.
The most terrible thing is that these weird blood has an indescribable greed, like a hungry giant, absorbing the energy in Darkan's body all the time, as if being sucked into another dimension, and just now took up all the energy. Salein, who was in the upper hand, became weaker in the blink of an eye.
"You! What's in your blood?!"
Darkan couldn't even maintain the form of a vampire bat, he staggered back on the ground, his young face began to age again at this moment, and the black knight Aznab slowly picked up his warhammer , Between his fingers, layers of healing holy light sprinkled on his body, and the strange thing is that the left half of his body is a gentle holy light, while the right half is that pale and weird shine.
Even if he is a fool now, he knows that the black knight in front of him is weird. He is not a pure paladin, or in other words, there is something wrong with the holy light he grasps!
Facing Dar'Kan's questioning, the black knight patted the dirt on his body, he raised his warhammer, the pale and viscous light wrapped around the ferocious blade of the armor-piercing hammer, and he said softly in an unpleasant voice:
"Holy light and shadows are constantly rotating in my body. Every cell and every bone of mine is being torn and then healed. Compared to you, Master Darkan, I am the real cursed one... .And all of this is because of Tyrion and his lunatic subordinates, I told you the key to victory, but unfortunately, you let me down..."
"You and your world missed one of the best chances, one chance to kill Tyrion before he was truly invulnerable, the one and only chance, wasted by you politicians, but that's ok...I I will continue my fight, and next time, there will be no rubbish like you around me!"
The black knight took a step forward, the pale holy light in his hand gathered in the palm of his hand, and the shadow was mixed with it, and Darkan even heard the scream from the darkness outside the domain. He staggered and tried to avoid the dangerous light, but in the end, It was clasped around the neck by the fingers that were shining with pale light.
"Darkan Drahir, you have failed your city, you have failed your country, you have failed those who expected you... Now, enjoy the feeling of being swallowed by the void... This is rare experience."

"Huh, we... seem to be late?"
When Myra and his party appeared in the completely destroyed forest glade, the battle had already ended. The weak black knight was leaning on his horse. At his feet, there was a pile of strange skeletons, a faint dim light Wrapped around these white bones, facing Myra's doubts, the black knight turned his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the back of the dense forest.
There, the blood crystal of the Blood Mistress was placed on the ground intact, Myra rushed over, and after confirming that Alleria had just closed her consciousness, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Aznab, thank you this time."
Myra turned her head and shouted to her former brother, and the black knight shook his head silently:
"This is what I should do, but not for Tyrion, Myra, this is for you and Rumi."
"swish"
The blood maids appeared beside the crowd in a strange way. When Cordana saw the intact blood mistress, all her worries disappeared, but only a moment later, Keeshan's shout was here Sounds from the jungle:
"Everyone, we should go! The rangers of the elves are rushing in this direction... They seem to be going to support Silvermoon City. No one wants to say hello to them at this time, right?"
"Where is Tyrion? Your Majesty, shall we not wait for him?"
Maris carried Cirvanas on his back, he looked at Myra's back, and the latter waved his hand without looking back:
"Don't worry about him, he will always find a way to escape... that is the King of Dark Blade, don't underestimate him, by the way, Mr. Maris, if you don't mind, we may invite you to the southern border Take a vacation... with your girlfriend, you won't say no to us, will you?"
