When Roy saw Arthas killing Mal'Ganis in the scene from Frostmourne, he was honestly not surprised.
Roy knew very well that even if Ner'zhul tempted Arthas to fall through Frostmourne, he would definitely let Arthas kill Mal'Ganis. After all, Arthas hated Mal'Ganis. His feelings were already deep-rooted, and it would be impossible not to let him vent them out. Moreover, killing Mal'Ganis also had the advantage of making Arthas feel the joy of revenge, the kind that he could do anything he wanted with great power. The feeling of doing it will make Alsace unable to stop.
After tasting the sweetness of revenge, Ner'zhul's next plan could be launched smoothly.
What's funny is that Mal'Ganis was too conceited to realize this. He thought that after Arthas picked up Frostmourne, he had fallen into darkness and could be considered one of his own. , so he appeared in front of Alsace blatantly, and ended up dead.
Roy was completely indifferent to Mal'Ganis' death, even if Mal'Ganis died at the hands of Frostmourne. At this stage, including Kil'jaeden and the rest of the Dread Lords, the demons of the Burning Legion No one would think that Frostmourne had any connection with Roy. Frostmourne was just his former sword, but now it is Ner'zhul who controls Frostmourne.
But from this matter, Roy saw one thing, that is, Ner'zhul could not wait to implement his plan. Although under Kil'jaeden's order, the Dread Lords had to obey Ner'zhul. Following Zu's orders, they worked hard to contribute to the expansion of the Scourge's power, but it was undeniable that their truly important mission was to monitor Ner'zhul.
Ner'zhul will not forget how the Dread Lords once tortured him and brought him great pain. When he planned to use Arthas to escape from the Frozen Throne, the Dread Lords became the target he must destroy.
Mal'Ganis is the first, but not the last. Ner'zhul may find a way to use Arthas's help to eradicate the rest of the Dreadlords in the next process.
Of course, with the death of Mal'Ganis, the rest of the Dreadlords will probably be wary, so Roy guessed that Ner'zhul was going to speed up his plan.
"Should I get involved here?" Roy thought as he rubbed his devil horns.
Although Mal'Ganis died, his mission was still completed very well. These cunning Dreadlords cooperated with the experienced Ner'zhul to complete Arthas's corruption step by step. Now Arthas' soul Already swallowed by Frostmourne, he is rapidly transforming into a death knight. If Roy remembers correctly, Arthas will return to Lordaeron next to complete his act of filial piety. However, in Neo Under Zu's command, he led the Scourge to attack Silvermoon City and resurrected Kel'Thuzad with the help of the Sunwell.
Finally, Arthas will attack Dalaran, take away the Book of Medivh, and use the power of the artifact to summon Archimonde into Azeroth.
For Roy, he can't enter Azeroth at all now, even if the Dark Portal is reactivated in the outer world. The power of the Dark Portal is not enough to allow a powerful demon king like Roy to pass through. , only Julie and Bainiya, but even if they go to Azeroth, they can't summon Roy there without a powerful enough artifact as a source of power.
There is no way, the planetary shield left by the Titans is really a bit ridiculously strong...
Therefore, in Roy's view, Arthas' seizure of the Book of Medivh may be an opportunity for him. Since the Book of Medivh can allow Archimonde's true body to enter Azeroth, the same can be said for him. Allowing Roy to enter Azeroth...

Above the vast sea, an old ship was sailing slowly. Alsace was sitting in the cabin, holding Frostmourne in his hand and closing his eyes in meditation.
The people operating the ship were not living people, but several ugly-looking ghouls. They were transformed from corpses by Arthas. After communicating with Ner'zhul through Frostmourne, Arthas obtained This knowledge of necromancy has given him a powerful power of death. Now that he is on his way home to Lordaeron, he no longer needs living people to serve him. These undead monsters are the most obedient slaves.
Now Arthas is transforming into a death knight. The power of Holy Light in his body is gradually fading, the flesh and blood of his body is gradually withering, and the power of darkness, death and frost is growing in his body, and these all come from Thanks to Ner'zhul's gift, the more he practiced these dark powers, the easier it was for Arthas's mind to be controlled by Ner'zhul.
Of course, Ner'zhul is not always paying attention to him. Ner'zhul also has many things to take care of, so whenever Ner'zhul's will withdraws from Frostmourne, it can continue to influence Arthas. All Si could think about was the never-ending whisper in Frostmourne.
This kind of whisper that can reach the depths of a person's soul, even if Alsace tried hard to listen, he couldn't hear clearly what the words were, but these whispers were growing the darkness in his heart all the time, and unfortunately, Alsace Si didn't feel anything was wrong yet, because the greater the dark side in his heart, the stronger the power fed back to him from Frostmourne, which kept Arthas immersed in it.
The journey back to Lordaeron is long, so whenever he has nothing to do, Arthas will meditate with Frostmourne in his hand, letting his strength grow day by day, and today is no exception.
However, at this moment, the light in the skeleton eyes of Frostmourne Swordjaw suddenly surged, and the connection between Arthas and Frostmourne was suddenly severed!
Arthas suddenly woke up from his meditation and looked at Frostmourne in surprise, not understanding what had happened, especially when he tried to call the Lich King Ner'zhul, but found that he could not contact him at all.
He was disconnected!
Before Arthas could understand what was going on, a new voice sounded from the sword.
"No need to call Ner'zhul! As long as I want, you can't contact anyone through Frostmourne! Not even Ner'zhul!"
Alsace calmed down and asked doubtfully, "Who...are you?"
"My name is...Osiris, the Lord of Darkness and Frost, the Destroyer of the High Heavens, the Demon of the Worlds who travels through Chaos and the Void, and the King of Despair who is currently the third commander-in-chief of the Burning Legion!"
Alsace was stunned when he heard Roy's long list of titles. Although Alsace had no idea about most of the titles, the last words of the third commander of the Burning Legion calmed Alsace.
"Osiris, the King of Despair...well, you...you said you are the master of this sword?" Arthas said in confusion.
"Not only Frostmourne, but even your so-called Lord of Darkness, the Lich King Ner'zhul, was transformed with the blood of demons!" Roy's cold voice passed from Frostmourne to Al through the void. In Sass's mind: "Do you need me to prove it?"
"Proof?" Alsace was confused for a moment. Suddenly, he discovered that the power that had been coming from Frostmourne disappeared in an instant, and not only that, Frostmourne actually started in reverse. Extract the power from Alsace's body.
"What...what's going on!?" Alsace subconsciously wanted to throw away Frostmourne, but he found that Frostmourne was simply adsorbed in his palm and could not be thrown away at all.
In just a few seconds, Arthas was almost drained. Frostmourne not only drained the power from his body, but also drained his blood and soul. At this moment, Arthas changed from the handsome blond boy to the , has become skinny and bones, like a skeleton, and even his blond hair has become withered and gray.
"I believe it, I believe it!" Arthas felt that he was really about to die, so he hurriedly shouted: "I know you are the real Lord of Darkness! I am willing to obey your orders!"
After shouting this, Frostmourne finally stopped absorbing Alsace, and then began to give back to Alsace continuously. Alsace was finally out of danger of death, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. , but after so much trouble, he finally understood.
This cursed sword Frostmourne has a real master behind it. Even the Lich King Ner'zhul is probably a puppet controlled by him...
"Let me tell you, young prince!" Roy said to him: "The Lich King Ner'zhul only has part of the authority of this sword, but he does not know this, so he can use this sword to grant Your power is only a small part. As long as I am willing, I can take back all the power he gave you at any time! On the contrary, as long as I am willing, I can also give you power that far exceeds Ner'zhul's authority!"
Hearing this, Alsace's eyes shone with light again, and he said with a hint of longing: "How powerful is this power...?"
"Want to try it?" Roy chuckled: "Then, find a suitable place and I can demonstrate it to you."
After hearing this, Arthas quickly stood up and walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck. He looked at the vast sea, held the hilt of Frostmourne's sword tightly with both hands, and said, "I'm ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthas suddenly felt a vast magic power that could not be described in words, transmitted through Frostmourne. After this magic power integrated into his body, in just one second, Alsace Si was so stretched that he was about to explode. Countless veins sprouted out of his arms and forehead. He roared in pain, not daring to think about anything else, and quickly waved Frostmourne on the sea.
When this huge amount of magic was vented through Frostmourne, the sea surface that Arthas saw suddenly changed. The originally turbulent waves on the sea stopped surging at this moment, and the whole thing he saw was The entire sea was replaced by a kind of black ice crystals.
Taking Alsace's bow as a line, the sea surface thousands of kilometers ahead was frozen under this slash!
Seeing this scene before him, Arthas was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.
You know, he once had a powerful ice mage, Jaina Proudmoore, who was a genius mage. Arthas had also seen her use ice magic, but even if Jaina was the strongest Even with his ice magic, he couldn't achieve the scene in front of him.
This can no longer be considered magic, but a miraculous sight!
After coming back to his senses, Arthas stared at the Frostmourne in his hand with fiery eyes and murmured to himself: "Can I have such a powerful power?"
After hearing this, Roy, who was far away in the outer lands, couldn't help but smile. He knew that Alsace couldn't run away...
