The Great Thief

Chapter 927: The faceless one

Views:

Lu Li didn't know how to face Varian.

There is no doubt that Varian's father, Llane Wrynn, was a great monarch and a smart strategist. With only the power of the Kingdom of Stormwind, he made it from the first attack of the Horde army that entered Azeroth with great momentum. Protected Stormwind City.

Whether in the Human Alliance or in the Kingdom of Stormwind, King Llane is an unparalleled hero.

However, before young Varian could even learn from his father how to be a wise king, he completely lost him - King Llane's most trusted agent, the half-orc Garona, was forcibly controlled by Gul'dan. The Court of Storms stabbed Lion to death with tears in his eyes. Varian witnessed his father's death with his own eyes, and the scene of Garona's assassination of Lion was engraved in his young mind, becoming the most unforgettable scene in his life.

In Lu Li's opinion, if there was someone in Varian who hated him to the core, it would definitely not be an orc.

He even suspected that once he revealed that he was Garona's disciple, he was likely to be hacked to death - of course, there must be a premise here that Varian was still alive for the time being.

As the old knight said, Varian is no weakling.

Originally, he was kidnapped by the minions of the black dragon princess Onyxia, causing him to split into two selves: one showing his strength and determination, and the other with a weak will. The dragon attempts to kill Varian's warrior qualities and control Stormwind City by controlling the cowardly king's puppet. But Varian's powerful other half escaped and became a legendary fighter known as Lo'Gosh, nicknamed "Ghost Wolf".

Now Varian combines the two into one, which is indeed terrifyingly powerful.

But there is no porcelain job without diamonds. Since Major Samuelson dares to assassinate the king in Stormwind City, he must have something to rely on.

They soon arrived at the door of the Kingdom Hall, only to find that all the guards who were supposed to be guarding here were missing. This discovery made the old knight's expression even more gloomy.

Of course, the person who can command these guards cannot be a major. This shows that there is very likely a general-level noble who followed the Twilight Hammer and betrayed the king. Now he can only hope that the king can hold on for a while and not let him break in. What I saw when I went there was a dead body.

Lu Li kept running at a fast speed and walked through corridor after corridor in the palace.

His thoughts were wandering a little far, and he was thinking about what he should do to have a chance if he wanted to assassinate King Varian.

Of course, the premise is that they have the strength to kill a super boss like Varian head-on. He must first choose a good opportunity. At least the main force of the Knights of the Storm should be fighting outside, and maybe they should also create something in the business district. The chaos attracted the guards to go over and maintain order.

Then he mobilized the guards at the door by making false claims to the east, then broke in with glutinous rice balls filled with sesame fillings, and finally summoned a large army inside the palace.

"Perhaps you are right. The nobles are indeed a cancer in the kingdom." Before they entered the main hall, Lu Li and the old knight heard a loud voice. Judging from the old knight's relieved expression, it seemed that what was inside probably It's King Varian.

Varian may not be as beloved as his father, but he has endured many hardships.

The death of his father became the beginning of Varian losing everything. In the ensuing orc invasion, his homeland of Stormwind City was razed to the ground. His country was occupied by the orcs. His people suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, they were safe. Under the loyal escort of General Duin Lothar, a group of Stormwind refugees successfully crossed the sea and headed north to Lordaeron.

The young Varian began his life of exile prematurely. He had already encountered a series of disasters before he could recover from the fear of losing his father.

In comparison, he is mentally stronger than Alsace.

"...But how did the nobility come about? Their fathers and ancestors shed their blood for this land, and many people used their lives to seek a place for future generations." King Varian seemed to be arguing with Major Samuelson about life.

Lu Li poked his head outside and looked inside, but was shocked.

There were corpses everywhere in the palace. It was obvious that the battle had not begun as he imagined. The speaker was leaning on the throne, his chest was bloody and bloody, and he was obviously seriously injured.

The person who caused all this was not Major Samuelson in Lu Li's imagination - although he had never seen this person with his own eyes, judging from his identity and his brother's appearance, it was impossible for him to be such a disgusting monster. .

It's not just a huge monster sitting cross-legged in the palace.

If Lu Li was correct, this thing should be called the Faceless One.

According to the prophecy of the Twilight Hammer, most creatures with life and form will be destroyed. Only the faceless men, twilight dragons, eternal dragons, and elemental creatures, these selected creatures, can survive in the shadow-shrouded world. Share the glory of the ancient gods in the new world.

However, the Faceless Man transformed by Major Samuelson is obviously not a real Faceless Man.

The real faceless men are all generated by the splitting of the tentacles of the ancient gods. It is not difficult to see from their images that their bodies are indeed very similar to the arms and legs of molluscs. As we all know, the bodies of the ancient gods are made of a It consists of an oval body and numerous tentacles.

It is unknown whether the fallen tentacles of the Old God gave birth to the Faceless Men or whether they were actively produced.

But Samuelson can transform himself into a faceless man, which is powerful enough. No wonder these guards are no match for him. Even King Varian, who gained fame in the arena, was injured.

"Just like my friend Van Rief, your Majesty, you must never say you don't know him," Major Samuelson said hummingly.

"Anger is not a reason to fall. This sentence suits him and me. And why do you want to fight?" King Varian, despite being injured, still had a loud voice and looked extremely magnanimous.

Anger made Edwin VanCleef rise up, and anger also made him quickly forget the justice he insisted on. A group of craftsmen would either become executioners who massacred civilians.

Out of anger - anger stemming from the death of Queen Tiffin during the Masons' riots - King Varian angrily expelled the Masons from the magnificent city they had built.

After all, who is blaspheming justice in the name of massacre

"Suffer death, Your Majesty the King, your blood will be used to sacrifice the great Nezas." Perhaps because the faceless man's state was no longer uncertain, Major Samuelson finally ended his lengthy speech. nonsense.

Why does every villain have so much crap

Lu Li saw the old knight standing in front of King Varian, covered in holy light flames, and he wanted to complain. (To be continued.)
