Volume 3 New Pattern (Part 2)(1/2)
(The two chapters are updated in a row, a total of 1W2, and there is still a little real plot left at the end of the volume. Tomorrow is the 30th, and a new volume will start next month. In addition, the pace is faster, not because we have to finish the book, but because the original pace is too slow! This way, I can't finish writing it until the end of the world. It's so silence!)
"For the undead clan, only destruction...destroying everything is the premise for the undead clan's final existence. Now... the great queen, what is placed in front of you is the best opportunity..."
Lelouchus stared at Xixi in front of him frantically, and then his huge body suddenly faced the "master" he betrayed and slowly knelt down half-kneel.
"Now, the most powerful heroes of the human race and the orcs are in this new Britannia. As long as you, the great Queen of the Undead, I promise that they will never be able to leave from now on, and you... will also lay the foundation for the great future of the Undead!"
When Lelouchus said this, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Everyone's eyes were gathered on the silent queen Xixi, waiting for the strong and proud queen of Her Majesty, to make this decision that would likely determine the future pattern of Azerothic continent.
It has to be admitted that most of what Lelouchius said is the most appropriate truth - the characteristics of the undead race determine that they cannot naturally reproduce and give birth to new tribes through the rest of the races. Only in the process of war and destruction can new tribes be constantly born and strengthened.
However, such behavior will never be tolerated by other races. In the end, what awaits the undead will either be a complete battle of destruction or... a complete rule of this continent.
And now, what Lerouchius has provided to Xixi is undoubtedly an unprecedented opportunity.
Jaina, the most powerful magician of the human race, Tyrio Fordine, one of the five Paladins, and even the great savior, Saiya, the chief of the beast tribe, and their most elite troops, are all gathered in this new Britania at this moment.
In this city, the Queen of the Dead is the master of everything. As long as she has the will, she believes that it will be no difficult to destroy all these people here.
"Xi?Xi..."
Gao He looked at the indifferent-looking girl. At this moment, he was undoubtedly the person who was most worried about this girl.
Only he understood that this girl had already decided the future for the undead clan, but at this moment... she became the target of public criticism because of her fear of the few words of the demon king Lelouchus, and it is likely that in the future, she was regarded as public enemies by various races on the continent.
Now...what would she decide?
Should I listen to the words of the terrifying demon Lelouchius and move forward toward a step of either dominating or destroying, or... stick to the initial decision?
"Lelouchius... You are very smart. It is precisely because of this that I left your life."
When Xixi's cold voice echoed in the Queen's Hall, everyone held their breath and waited for her final choice.
There is no more exciting scene for players than this - although they cannot decide the direction of the future, at least now, they can still witness the mainland's step towards a new future with their own eyes.
"Indeed, as you said, the existence of the undead clan itself is a taboo in the entire Azerothian world, but..."
Her red eyes suddenly expanded, and at this moment, far surpassed the previous ones. The huge power of being the queen of the undead completely overwhelmed the terrifying demon king-
"What is the future of the undead clan, whether it is destruction or rebirth? All this... will be determined by me, the queen of the undead clan, and will be determined by the people of the entire undead clan, not by you... a devil king!"
"And you, Lelouchius, the devil's devil,... at the moment you decide to go against my will... whatever your purpose is, your future is already destined!"
“…”
The fearful demon Lelouchus was stunned.
He didn't seem to have expected that Xixi would make such a choice, but after a moment, it returned to normal and its huge body slowly stood upright.
"Since that's the case...the great queen of the undead, please."
It bent gracefully, and the wide bat wings behind it spread slightly, but the words said in its mouth made people feel that this guy seemed to be abnormal.
"Kill me, this turmoil will end, and the undead clan will also usher in a buffer period. For you, this may be what you need most..."
"Even if you don't say these words, I will kill you."
The short blade in Xixi's hand had quietly penetrated into its chest before the Demon King finished speaking, pierced its energy core.
The evil power quickly dissipated from the huge shell. These energy turned into scattered bats in the air, while the voice of the terrified demon Lelouchus still echoed in the hall.
"...and I... will be silently... watching your future in the twisted void..."
Crash.
The moment Lelouchus' body completely dissipated, the dark purple armor also fell to the ground.
This voice finally brings back the people who are stunned due to the sharp changes in the situation.
"Chief of the tribe, I have killed the rebels with my own hands, fearing the demon Lelouchius..."
After ending all this with his own hands, Xixi returned to Saiya as if nothing had happened, and bowed gently to the leader of the tribe.
"Queen of the Dead, everything you do proves your loyalty to the tribe."
Although he was also a little lost because all this ended too quickly, Saiya, who came back to his senses, had a slightly appreciative smile.
"Please rest assured, I will not take the words of the Demon King provoking me. As long as you, the queen of the Undead clan, restrain your race at any time, I will also fulfill our original covenant and ensure that the Undead clan always exists as a member of the tribe..."
What Saiya didn't expect was that at the moment when he had already expressed his attitude, the next words of the undead queen Xi Xi brought him an unprecedented shock.
"Sorry, the noble Chief Saiya, from today on the tribe, there will be no undead existence."
What?!
All players can hardly believe their ears.
Compared to the incitement of the Demon King just now, Xi Xi’s decision announced at this moment has brought unparalleled shock to the players.
"What decision did you make, Xi? Xi?"
He stared majesticly at the undead queen in front of him.
"Do you want to choose a path for you and your people to confront the entire Azerothic continent?"
"No, Chief Saiyan, my purpose is to find a new future for me and my people, and that future... is by no means destruction, but rebirth."
The undead queen seemed to have not seen the surprise on the face of the great chief Saiya, facing the members of the undead who stayed here and were loyal to her.
"My people, we were all living people, and the scourge of the dead killed us, turned us into walking dead, and lost everything that the living had."
"Now, we, who have free will, are still facing the threat of natural disasters from the undead. The demons who once killed and enslaved us are now hanging high above our heads. One day, the iron hooves of the Scourge will rage this land again, taking away our homes and our freedoms... together."
This was the first time Gao He realized that there was such a heavy burden on Xixi's shoulders.
Although on the surface, as the Queen of the Dead and as high as she is, she has prestige and power that others cannot match, as a race leader, what she has to bear is the rise and fall of the entire race.
"Will you see those cruel demons take away our home again?"
"Do you allow them to take our lives a second time and enslave us again?"
"Can you... still tolerate these evil beings that exist in this world?!"
Xi Xi's voice became intense, and the shouts echoed deep in the soul made all the soldiers of the undead tribe and even the players shouted in a panic.
"No! Absolutely...not allowed!"
Among the people present, except Gao He, I'm afraid no one knows what Xi Xi wants to do.
In fact, this girl had already made the second request to Gao He to "believe Gao He to surrender to her and become her minister" for the second time when she was in Stantosom.
However, when she mentioned it the second time, Xixi's words were not as stiff as the first time, and this time, what she asked for was no longer a tough master-servant subordinate relationship.
"I need your help, and you... can help me."
Xixi snuggled in his arms, and his soft whispers came to Gao He's ears again.
And in front of him, the Queen, who only showed weakness before him, announced a decision that would affect this continent of Azeroth with a strong attitude.
"I, the great Queen Xi Xi, from today on, will lead you, my people, completely separated from the tribes, and we will no longer fight with the alliance. We have only one purpose, which is to completely eliminate the undead natural disasters that are similar to us but are completely different!"
"You can choose freely. Yes, I give you the power to choose for the second time, follow me, continue to surrender under my command, fight for me and for our future, or choose to continue to exist in the name of the undead clan. This time, I will still not interfere with your choice..."
The red eyes, as the Queen of the Dead, swept majesticly at these peoples as the Queen of Dead for the last time. At the next moment, her voice echoed in the Queen's Hall again.
"And those people who follow me, from today on, will no longer be named after the undead, our existence will not be remembered by history, we will act alone, fight against the Scourge, and fight for our future..."
Her slender arms raised slightly, conveying the name that would affect the entire Azerothic continent in the future to everyone's ears-
"We... are the forgotten ones!"
Forgotten...
When he heard the name that Xixi came up with alone, Gao He's heart leaped violently.
He looked at the girl who stood alone in the middle of the hall and planned to welcome the violent storm alone in the future. In his heart... an indescribable heartache suddenly appeared in his heart.
This stubborn girl... even if she made such a decision, she should not announce it so grandly and publicly at such a time, place and occasion, right?
But...if I didn't do that, it seemed... it wouldn't be her personality.
"The Queen of the Undead... No, I think this should be the last time I call you that."
Saiya, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again. Gaohe found that his face was tense, and the hideous fangs exposed on his lips almost pierced into his skin.
Xi Xi's decision is undoubtedly a major weakening of the current tribe - the unilateral withdrawal of the undead tribe will lead to the orcs having to face threats from both the human and the elves alone in the future.
However, when Saiya's voice rang again, Gaohe felt the broad mind of this former savior for the first time.
"We have fought side by side, and I know, I can trust you, I don't think you will lead the undead to get this Azerothic world into the fire of war. Because of this, I choose to form an alliance with you."
He sighed softly, his eyes just fell on Jaina who had quietly entered the Queen's Hall at some point, but led the troops to stand quietly beside him.
"After the establishment of the Forgotten, as long as your actions do not endanger the existence of the tribe, as long as you do not become enemies with the tribe, I will still maintain the peace treaty that was once, and will never take the lead in going to war with the Forgotten. This... is the guarantee that I, the great chief of the tribe, Saiya, has made to you."
"I cannot make a promise from the human standpoint, but I believe that in the battle against the undead, the Forgotten will become the comrades of the Silver Dawn."
This time the person who spoke was Tyrio Fordine. When he said this, his eyes were not only looking at Xixi, but also Gao He on the side.
Obviously, if there was no experience of getting along with each other, the Paladin would not have made such a rash decision, and the existence of Gao He might have had a considerable impact among the reasons that prompted him to make this decision.
"I, Jaina Proudmore, cannot make corresponding promises to the Forgotten on behalf of the human race and the alliance, but... I think I can promote a talk between the Forgotten and the human race."
To be continued...
