In the endless darkness, Alsace walked forward in confusion.
The body has surrendered and the soul has been imprisoned. The Lich King Ner'zhul used Frostmourne to infuse the body of the Prince of Lordaeron with the knowledge of heroes like stars.
knowledge is power.
Because the Lich King knew that this body would definitely belong to him.
But what Ner'zhul didn't know was that beyond the realm of the soul, at the deepest level of human nature, in the prison of chaos, in the endless darkness, Arthas held hope tightly in his hands.
Tight fit, no shine.
I will walk in the darkness and serve the light, like a flower that blooms at dawn, blooming in the midst of killing.
The prince who firmly believed that he was God's chosen one had nothing left except his firm belief.
Arthas knew every command given by Ner'zhul, every movement his body made, Arthas understood every step of the increasingly powerful power, and Arthas felt every bit of the mysterious and profound knowledge. Every moment is imprinted on my mind.
But this is not me.
In the Lich King's perception, His Highness the Prince's soul is bound in Frostmourne. As long as he completes the transformation of his body, he can easily obliterate it and then occupy all of it.
Therefore, Ner'zhul spared no expense to strengthen Arthas' power.
Arthas still retained a little bit of himself in the chaos, which was the source of his pain.
How to describe it?
My life is like the third person!
By bewitching Illidan to seize Gul'dan's skull, Tichondrius, the strongest fear lord, was tricked and killed, and the last valve restricting the Lich King was opened.
The rise of the undead scourge has become unstoppable.
Tichondrius is alive, and the Lich King and the Scourge are just cannon fodder for the Burning Legion, pawns to complete the Azeroth strategy.
With the temporary death of Tichondrius, the Lich King became the supreme commander of the Scourge and Burning Legion.
With all the resources in hand, Ner'zhul can now do whatever he wants.
[Now, return to Lordaeron and retrieve your crown. We will eventually become one! 】
Arthas was shocked by Ner'zhul's plan. The twisted soul that lost his body had only one reason to focus on the Eastern Kingdom - Arthas' throne.
Using plague to transform humans and even orcs to create larger and more powerful undead soldiers was just a matter of effort. Ner'zhul's purpose was to crown Arthas king.
Why?
Because Arthas' status as a prince cannot match Ner'zhul's "noble" soul.
My name is Ner'zhul, the chieftain of the Shadowmoon clan, the leader of all orcs, the ruler of the Scourge, and the soon-to-be king of the world.
Ner'zhul is as rational as ever, while the Lich King is as arrogant, cold and crazy.
The obstacles caused by Carlos Barov's research on the plague of the Cursed Cult were simply insignificant in the eyes of the Lich King.
Transmissibility doesn't matter at all. The most essential characteristic of natural disasters and epidemics has taken shape - the spread of infection.
The rest is just a matter of quantity.
Using "true lies", too many "powerful people" in the city of Lordaeron have doubts about the Lich King's promise of eternal life, and too many kunai strong men with no way to advance are hungry for the forbidden knowledge of the void.
The people, on the other hand, only care about what they are going to eat tonight.
As long as Carlos Barov is transferred away from the city of Lordaeron, everything will be settled.
Time is running out, Kil'jaeden will not allow himself to escape control, and a new Watcher will arrive soon.
So Ner'zhul ordered Arthas to return to Lordaeron immediately.
Ner'zhul's frozen soul couldn't help but tremble with pleasure at the thought that the largest kingdom of mankind was about to become his plaything.
But soon, Archimonde told Ner'zhul what true power meant.
Across the vast universe, he penetrated the great barrier of Azeroth.
Archimonde's will descended upon Icecrown Citadel.
Ner'zhul finally understood what it meant to be pale and powerless.
In the face of absolute power, conspiracy and calculation are so ridiculous.
Archimonde can shatter the Ice Throne with his thoughts even without the arrival of the true god.
Without the Ice Throne as a soul carrier, Ner'zhul would only end up in a state of disarray.
However, Archimonde did not do this.
He offered Ner'zhul a deal.
A deal Ner'zhul couldn't refuse.
[Open the door and let me in, and you will have my protection. 】
Unlike Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, Archimonde the Defiler kept his promise.
Ner'zhul offered "loyalty" to Archimonde.
Originally, the Lich King, who planned to seize the closed world of Arthas and occupy Azeroth as king, gave up his previous plan.
Because Archimonde's promise means that all worlds will open to it.
Kil'jaeden would not have a head-on conflict with Archimonde, not for a little guy like Ner'zhul.
Archimonde's protection is real and effective.
As a result, Alsace's mission changed.
The ship of death sailing the endless sea turned north.
At the same time, Carlos went to Hillsbrad personally under the "instruction" of Luna, preparing to play "the enemy is at the headquarters".
Thrall and Orgrim have been preparing for a long time, and the orcs finally launched an offensive against Durnholde Castle.
On the other side of the sea, Illidan, who had absorbed the Skull of Gul'dan, almost single-handedly slaughtered all the satyrs in Felwood.
But there is no free lunch in the world.
Completely transformed into a demon, Illidan's connection with the Twisting Nether became even closer.
Coupled with the power of the Skull of Gul'dan and the Eye of Sargeras, Kil'jaeden easily located him.
When Illidan was about to absorb all the power of a satyr-corrupted moonwell, Kil'jaeden's vision appeared in the turbid fel well water.
"Long time no see, my dear friend."
"We were never friends."
"It's not important, Illidan, I have a deal that will definitely interest you."
"Ten thousand years ago, you taught me never to make a deal with the devil."
"At that time, you were just a weak and helpless night elf. Now, we are all demons."
"Well... let's hear it."
"Archimonde is preparing to come to Azeroth again to stop him."
"Hahahaha, what a wonderful show, this is diabolical. So, what do I get?"
"Put the Eye of Sargeras in here."
Illidan hesitated for a moment, then did so.
Kil'jaeden poured vast amounts of knowledge into the Eye of Sargeras through the corrupted waters of the Moonwell.
"This is my advance payment. You know, compared to Archimonde, I am not so enthusiastic about destroying Azeroth. If you complete this deal, then this planet will belong to you ."
Kil'jaeden agreed, and the Will left the Well of Corruption.
Illidan held the Eye of Sargeras and fell into deep thought.
Lich King Ner'zhul's Betrayal...
This is quite interesting.
Illidan stood up and walked towards the seaside.
It's time to call in the old troops.
