"How dare you play such a trick in front of me." Xal'atath looked at Aradne's actions before giving up the struggle and said dissatisfiedly. At the same time, he made a few quick movements with his hands, and several golden runes fell on Aradne. Aradne, who had already become mentally depressed, was in a worse situation immediately. He screamed and lost his movement.
"You won't kill her, right?" Aaron saw Aradne's wings stopped vibrating and fell straight to the ground. He looked at Xal'atath and asked.
"I just taught this guy a lesson, he actually dared to do this in front of me." Although Xal'atath gave Aradne a lesson, she was still a little aggrieved. It seemed that she was still resentful of Aradne's actions just now.
He glanced angrily at Aradne, Xal'atath then looked at Aaron, "Why don't you go see how that Troll is doing? Is it interesting to watch me recruit employees here?"
"Oh yes, there is also Drakuru." Aaron then realized that Aradne had obviously given part of his power to Drakuru. I wonder what the guy who had his life force sucked away by Sapphiron would become with this power.
When Aaron looked at the position where Drakuru had just been, he saw that Drakuru was still staying in place, being guarded by Halduron Yes, but Aradne's power was not in vain. All the symptoms caused by Drakuru's vitality being sucked away by Sapphiron have disappeared.
"Be honest." Halduron has been staring at Drakuru closely since Anadel started to move. To his surprise, although Drakuru woke up, he had no intention of running away. He just let Halduron put the spear on his neck.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Aaron walked over to Drakuru in a leisurely manner. Since he had no intention of running away, we should still be able to communicate.
"Can you not kill me?" Drakuru seemed to have taken off his previous disguise and looked at Aaron calmly and said.
"Give me a reason?"
"Is it enough that I helped you block Sapphiron's attack once?"
"Come on, you originally planned to kill Sapphiron with our hands, right?" Aaron sneered, "Let me tell you this, I don't feel any guilt at all when I use you to block Sapphiron's attack. I have been guarding you from the beginning."
"I can see it." Drakuru sighed, "You have been wary of me from the beginning, even more so than this guy."
Aaron thought to himself, that's for sure, Halduron is full of murderous intent towards all Troll, he has nothing to do with Drakuru himself, but Aaron himself is different, he is very aware of what Drakuru did in the "official history".
"Tell me, how did you spread the plague in this fortress?"
"I said I didn't kill the people in this fortress, do you believe it?" Drakuru still looked indifferent to life and death, "Although I have contact with Lich King, my plan would not have been implemented so early."
Drakuru used such a calm attitude to tell Aaron a version that he had not expected.
It turns out that Undead under Lich King began to emerge from the area near Drak'Tharon Keep to attack Ice Troll a few months ago. The person responsible for managing this fortress is Prophet Sapphiron who serves Wind Serpent Sapphiron - yes, he is another guy with the same name as his own god.
Prophet Sapphiron didn't take those slow-moving skeletons seriously at first. He only needed to send out an elite Troll team to get rid of these corpses.
However, as the battle progressed, more and more corpses came from nowhere, and some more powerful Undead began to be mixed among them, such as the flying Gargoyle, the Abomination stitched together with corpse fragments, and so on.
As Undead continued to fight, Drak'Tharon faced increasing pressure. Prophet Sapphiron thought about asking Zul'Drak for help, but for some unknown reason, the messenger he sent never brought back even a word of response.
As time went by, Ice Troll in the entire fortress thought that they had been abandoned by Zul'Drak, and a strange atmosphere began to pervade the fortress.
At this time, any Ice Troll with some brains began to think about how to protect themselves. Drakuru chose to surrender to Lich King and exchanged the entire fortress for Ice Troll for his own way of life.
According to Drakuru, the contact process between him and Lich King went smoothly, although he never met Lich King in person.
A giant beetle-like Undead replaced Lich King and received Drakuru in a cave not far from Drak'Tharon Keep, and told Drakuru that he only needed to help Lich King spread the plague into the fortress, and not only could he continue to live, but he could also get Lich King's reward.
So Drakuru returned to Drak'Tharon Keep with a thing named Source of the Plague. According to the big beetle, Drakuru only needed to put this thing in the granary in the fortress, and Ice Troll would naturally be infected with the plague until he became Lich King's loyal servant.
However, after Drakuru and several Troll who were familiar with him discussed the action plan and started to implement the first step, they learned a piece of news that they did not expect: Prophet Sapphiron actually attacked the god Wind Serpent and took its power as his own.
It's a pity that Prophet Sapphiron, who gained the power of Loa, was still infected with the plague, and eventually turned into a pile of movable skeletons, just sitting on the top of the fortress and attacking all living people who came close to him.
"So there's nothing you can do?" Aaron asked.
Drakuru shook his head, "After we found that we couldn't do anything about the prophet, we thought about asking for help from Lich King. However, that prophet seemed to be very dissatisfied with us. Several of my companions were killed by his men, leaving only Novos and me. In the end, Novos chose to become Lich, but I was still a little hesitant."
In the end, Drakuru and Novos, who had transformed into Lich, returned to the fortress. Drakuru monitored Sapphiron's actions, while Novos locked himself in a secret room to study how to make the most of his newly acquired power.
In order to obtain enough experimental materials, Novos turned all the surviving Troll in the fortress into Undead. Even the way he looked at Dakulu was wrong. In order to avoid being killed by Novos, Drakuru hid in the raptor pen.
"I see. No wonder Novos acted so unfamiliar when we met him. It turns out he really just transformed recently." Aaron said thoughtfully.
Drakuru sighed, "It seems that Novos has also died in your hands, right?"
Aaron nodded, "Okay, your story is finished, do you have any last words?"
