"You, go over there and take a look. This is a critical moment in the war. We can't let the devil take advantage of it!"
On the city wall, the elf commander's loud shouts reached almost every corner.
As he finished shouting, close and orderly footsteps sounded, which sounded like a small group of soldiers being dispatched.
Alsace stood in the shadow of the city wall, almost blending into the darkness. Not even a single soldier noticed his presence.
Although the undead may also have eyes, their vision is not actually used to see, but to perceive the world through their souls, giving them a vision similar to that seen with eyes.
This is the principle of soul vision that Alsace usually uses, but this kind of vision has a drawback, that is, if your soul power is not strong enough, it will be very easy to be deceived.
Obviously, it was not difficult for Alsace to block the view of a group of undead soldiers, so he actually walked across the long bridge outside Black Crow Castle with great swagger.
The reason why he is hiding in the shadow of the city wall now is just because he is worried about possible magic detection traps.
After a quick investigation and discovering that perhaps because the commander-in-chief of the fortress had too much trust in the vision of the undead, there were not many magic traps that could be used, Arthas entered the Black Crow Fortress almost unimpeded.
"Well... this situation in Black Crow Fortress has reminded me that I will inevitably have contact with the Shadow Realm in the future. There are many strong people who master the core technology of necromancy. If they use the same method to enter the ice That wouldn’t be fun at Crown Fortress.”
Similar to Black Crow Citadel, Icecrown Citadel is also a place where only the undead exist.
Although there are many high-level undead stationed there, as long as they are single individuals, even if they are sleepless undead, they will inevitably lose concentration sometimes.
As for what to use to strengthen the defense power of Icecrown Citadel and the strength of the Scourge, Arthas actually already had some ideas.
There is not much difference between the Scourge Legion and the undead stationed in Black Crow Fortress. When the number of undead is limited and there is not enough fresh troops to supplement it, the role of the undead is actually limited.
There was no natural disaster of the undead that swept through most of the continent of Lordaeron and destroyed the inheritance of several civilizations. It was only a mediocre force in itself.
But the inability to turn living beings into skeletons does not mean that the undead natural disasters are locked in the space to rise. On the contrary, in the sea of undead and the tactics of fighting to support war, the undead still have incomparable advantages over ordinary armies.
At least Arthas didn't want his future army of death to be filled with ugly abominations and ghouls. That was just the self-deception of a fallen person.
Death knights, lichs, bone dragons and crypt lords are just the most superficial manifestations of necromancy in this world, and there are more exciting things brewing.
The soul is the most wonderful and malleable energy.
Arthas took out Frostmourne. The rune sword that had been strengthened by the guardian had already shown an edge that was not inferior to that of the Ashbringer. The transformation of this sword had finally taken the first step.
In a castle full of undead, although the Ashbringer is the most powerful weapon, Frostmourne is the silent reaper.
Without exposing himself, the magic sword allows Arthas to quickly penetrate the defenses of the Raven Guard and penetrate directly into the demon's heart.
The core fortress of Black Crow Fortress is on one side of the fortress, and Arthas still needs to move a certain distance within the fortress before he can reach the area where Lord Ravencrest is.
However, while "walking" in the fortress, Alsace suddenly heard a noise.
"You guys, hurry up and send this assassin sent by the devil into the dungeon!"
An assassin sent by the devil?
Now the undead in Black Crow Castle have basically had their minds distorted. In their eyes, normal people are demons, while demons have become innocent people.
In other words, what the undead captured were not demonic assassins.
Alsace walked under a dead tree and observed the scene not far away:
A female night elf was captured by the undead guard and was being escorted staggering forward.
Wearing only thin clothes, she stepped barefoot on the gravel and debris-filled ground of Black Crow Fortress. Her whole body was scarred, and purple-green color could be seen almost everywhere.
Black Crow Fortress itself is close to the sea, and the presence of the undead makes the temperature here much lower than the outside world. The cold wind blew, and the night elf instinctively shivered twice.
It seemed that the cold had made her body very stiff, but as soon as her movements slowed down, the guard behind her who was responsible for escorting her swung his whip and whipped her on the back.
"Maev Shadowsong?"
Arthas naturally recognized the captured night elf. When he went to let Illidan out, he met the warden in secret, but Maiev herself didn't know it.
Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Maiev, so it was not difficult to help her a little without exposing him.
The runes on Frostmourne flickered for a few times, and a blue light flashed in the eyes of the undead responsible for escorting Maiev, and then nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.
As if they were continuing to carry out the orders of their former superiors, they continued to escort Maiev Shadowsong forward normally.
But when they turned a corner and entered the blind spot of other undead's vision, the team turned into a small room.
This should be an abandoned rest room, and the undead don't need to rest, so a large part of the Black Crow Fortress is actually still deserted.
Maiev was pushed by a hand and fell into the room. She climbed up from the cold ground with difficulty and glared at the undead soldiers behind her.
But those guys gave up their control on Maiev at this time, and the last undead soldier closed the door of the lounge with his backhand, and the whole room immediately fell into darkness.
Maiev's night vision ability is extremely strong, and such darkness cannot hinder her vision. After a short period of adaptation, Maiev suddenly found that the undead were surrounding her.
They formed a circle, surrounding the Watcher at the inner end.
What are these undead doing?
Maiev was a little confused for a moment. The undead should not disobey the orders of their superiors, but what they were going to do now was obviously different from sending themselves to the cell.
But in any case, it is not a good thing to be stared at by so many undead unarmed. If there is a problem with their acceptance of instructions, it is not impossible to kill themselves now.
While thinking about how to escape, Maiev curled up and tried to break free from the shackles.
The next scene left the watcher completely stunned.
The soldiers pulled out their long swords, pointed them at the core where their soul fire was preserved, and stabbed it in without mercy, just as cleanly as they killed other creatures.
A group of undead committed suicide right in front of Maiev's eyes. The dead guards knelt on the ground. This weird atmosphere was like some kind of terrifying sacrifice, and Maiev was the sacrifice.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from her forehead, and Maiev sat up. She once again confirmed that these undead had indeed committed suicide and were not playing any tricks.
