"If you look at the trees around you that have grown for who knows how many years, it is not difficult to find that they are more or less tilted to the side outside the lake, as well as the hemispherical lake. These are the traces of that war etched in nature. .”
Arthas briefly described the great battle that year between Guardian Tyr and the two powerful Krasis. They may be the strongest entities on Azeroth besides the Old Gods.
The fierce battle between three powerful mythological entities forever changed the landscape of the Whispering Woods, and even the name Whispering Woods itself was given by the residual influence of the dead Krasis.
Even after death, the corpses of these powerful void anomalies retain a perverted activity, and dark power will continue to seep out. At that time, Tyr's followers could not completely destroy Zakas's corpse, so they destroyed it. Sealed beneath the Tomb of Tyr.
Only the power of the guardian can suppress Zakas's activity, allowing him to remain in a "dead" state instead of being awakened again by the ancient god due to the activity of his body.
Even so, Zakath's influence has penetrated into almost half of the land of Tirisfal, and the Whispering Forest and Whispering Coast also come from this.
The entire western mountain range of Tirisfal is almost completely inhabited. Even the Whispering Coast, where a harbor could have been built, is deterred by the existence of Zakath from humans to build a port on this mysterious coast.
Because of the influence of the power of the ancient gods, and the fact that the deep sea is an area where the ancient gods have great influence, ships stationed there for a long time will be subject to a terrible "curse".
Arthas has long wanted to get rid of the cancer of Zakas, so coming here today to obtain the Silver Hand and Tyr's will is secondary. The real reason why Arthas summoned so many strong men is to kill Zakas. Cass was completely wiped out.
Just when everyone was shocked by the traces of battle left by Tyr, the sound of fighting and the holy light energy of Uther and others came from the forest. Several people's expressions changed and they rushed into the forest one after another.
The Holy Deed carried on Alsace's waist gave off a faint light. He followed the others and quickly entered the forest.
Not far into the forest, they saw three Uthers and a human being restrained by Dathrohan, while a dozen people holding weapons and wearing light armor were confronting the three of them.
"Let Lal go and get out of here!"
"We are here to eradicate evil, why do you attack us for no reason?" Dathrohan asked. The knight could not understand why he was attacked without doing anything.
Although the young man he captured did not sneak attack Dathrohan with a weapon, he suddenly jumped out of the forest and wanted to knock Dathrohan unconscious.
Unfortunately, he obviously misjudged Dathrohan's strength. Not only did he not succeed in the sneak attack, he was instantly counterattacked by Dathrohan and was pinned to the ground by his joints on the spot.
Even without using the power of the Holy Light, Dathrohan's own strength is top-notch, because before he became a Paladin, he was a great warrior who was proficient in martial arts.
Uther's war hammer has been coated with a layer of holy light. Apparently he was attacked for no reason and he began to doubt the identity of this group of mysterious people in the forest.
Tirion stood beside Dathrohan, guarding his back to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
The appearance of Alsace and others changed the expressions of those people, and the situation between the two sides became more tense.
"Are you from the Tire Guard?" Arthas pointed out the other party's identity directly, not wanting to cause more arguments.
"I know you. You are Prince Arthas of Lordaeron. Why do you want to enter this forest? Leave quickly. This is not a place where mortals should stay."
A relatively young-looking Tyrian guard seemed to recognize Alsace's identity. It seemed that not everyone in this organization had cut off contact with the outside world.
Also, if it were not still connected with human civilization, the successive disasters in Lordaeron would not have reduced this organization to only a few people.
"Do you know me?" Alsace winked at Dathrohan, who snorted coldly and pushed Lal, who was restrained by him, towards the Tyrian guards.
Seeing that their companions were released, this group of "grave guards" who had been stationed in the mountains all year round breathed a sigh of relief. Their attitude softened a little, "Of course, the most powerful princes in human civilization, we are not completely civilized." Cut off contact.”
Muradin bumped into Dathrohan in a condescending manner, "It seems your reputation is not enough. The other party knows Arthas, but not you."
Dathrohan rolled his eyes at Muradin, "On weekdays, I either work at the Silver Hand or train new recruits. I am not as famous as His Highness."
The leading Tyrian guard, who looked older, put away his sword and said in a deep voice, "In any case, please leave quickly. Very bad things are buried here, even if you are powerful paladins." , and may not be immune to his influence.”
"Actually, we are here to eliminate this evil existence." Alsace did not hesitate. Since the other party was willing to talk instead of taking action, it saved a lot of trouble.
"Destroy? Young prince, do you know that even Thoradin, who was holding the divine sword, died in the hands of that monster." The older Tyrian guard shook his head, not optimistic about Alsace's purpose. "You'd better leave quickly. Thoradin passed our guard and broke the seal before he died. We will not allow the second 'Thoradin' to die."
"However, the monster is still alive, isn't it? It's true that Emperor Thoradin broke the seal, but it means that the monster is not completely dead. He can come out the first time, and he can come out the second time. Just rely on you guards. , and can’t defeat him.”
Arthas showed the sacred contract on his waist, "I did not blindly rush into the dangerous place. The Knights of the Silver Hand also inherited Tire's will. Today we are here to destroy the monster sleeping in the lake. .”
But the other party obviously would not be moved by such words. He still shook his head stubbornly and said, "Please come back, Your Highness. Even if the monster is resurrected, we will destroy him again no matter what we have to do."
Muradin witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, these guys are really stubborn. They are even more stubborn than the guy named Gerald just now."
But it was good that he didn't speak. As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Tire Guards all turned very ugly. The leader, an elderly guard who looked like a knight, also frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, the dwarf, What are you talking about?"
"Just now at the lakeside, we met an old man named Gerald. Isn't he a member of the Tire Guard?" Jaina was also confused as to why the other party had such a big reaction.
However, Lal, who had just been returned to his family, replied with a slightly trembling voice, "Gerald...are you sure? He was indeed a member of the Tire Guard, but he has been dead for more than ten years. How could you have seen him after so many years?"
died? !
As soon as these words came out, the members of the expedition team also had different expressions.
Alsace was also slightly surprised: The guy named Gerald just now was indeed "alive", how could he be a dead person?
