No one knows the Death Knight better than Carlos, and Carlos knows the King better than Carlos.
It’s really not a yin and yang thing.
After all, before Gul'dan could use the death knight to any avail, Orgrim seized the opportunity and imprisoned him.
Later, when the war was unfavorable, I recalled the first battle of the Death Knights, which was the Battle of Nanhai Town, and they were almost killed by Carlos, who was still a general.
I really understand.
Gul'dan's Death Knight is actually an integration of resources.
Because although Gul'dan is rebellious and draws magic power, he is essentially a good orc and a pure racist.
Therefore, his basic logic in making a death knight was to select powerful orcs who were near death, recently dead, or whose souls have not dissipated even after a long time of death, and extract their souls to nourish and strengthen them with the power of shadow and blood. Then select those strong enemy corpses, infuse the orc souls into them and solidify them to create the regenerated warriors of the Final Horde (Gul'dan).
This is the original death knight, and the most typical representative is Talon Bloodfiend.
The younger brother of my younger brother is not my younger brother. In the Tomb of Sargeras, the joyful Gul'dan thought that he would be recognized by the legion prince by joining Kil'jaeden, but he was imprisoned (guarded) in the Tomb of Sargeras. The demon was torn into pieces, with only its head taken away by Cho'gall.
Later, the Twilight Sect and the Curse Sect merged, and Gul'dan's head fell into the hands of the Lich King several times, and was then transferred to Illidan.
Ner'zhul looked down upon Gul'dan's remaining power, but he could not let go of the legacy of the old tribe's war in Azeroth.
It's not the treasures buried by Orgrim, the big box of past "glory", but the materials and results that Gul'dan made behind the warchief's back.
Without Carlos, the internal conflicts in the Alliance of Lordaeron would be enough to create spiritual rifts that would tear apart society. Under the influence of the Cult of the Damned, there should not be too many surrendering parties and leading parties.
It can be said that the undead natural disaster destroyed the Kingdom of Lordaeron, all thanks to the dark psychology of mankind.
But Kalos was there. No matter what Ner'zhul planned, the Argent Dawn's destructive actions for more than a year had indeed greatly hindered the rise of the Scourge.
This resulted in the Lich King having to enhance the strength of the Undead Scourge in other ways.
So the question is, what does the Scourge have the most?
corpse.
Loyal orcs are no longer easy to find. The Shadowmoon clan who followed Ner'zhul have all been crushed and transformed into lichs. Where can they find suitable souls?
If you can't find it, just look for it. This kind of small problem can't trouble the great Lich King. Isn't it easier to directly control the soul than Gul'dan's infusion process?
There are many tough souls in the city of Lordaeron. The stronger the soul, the more meaningful it is to torture it.
This is the reason why the Scourge Legion stayed in the city of Lordaeron for several days.
Naxxramas is there, and the floating necropolis with a full set of transformation equipment puts a lot of mage power into the transformation and production of death knights.
Theoretically, the upper limit of the force of the Undead Scourge is the number of dead humans with intact bones in Lordaeron over the past hundreds of years plus the number of trolls over the past tens of thousands of years.
But in most cases, theories are just theories after all. Even the results of transforming the city of Lordaeron are beyond the reach of the Scourge, let alone achieving the so-called absolute theoretical value.
This is also the reason why the number of undead natural disaster troops is smaller than expected.
It can only be said that a donkey knows whether it is warm or cold when drinking water.
Allocating a portion of the troops to march westward and south to contain the human forces in the Hillsbrad Hills is already a shameful statement.
If we can defeat Gilneas, it will definitely be a huge victory.
However, the Undead Scourge ultimately relied on surprise attacks and conspiracy to break through Lordaeron. The shortage of siege equipment made the Greymane Wall a wall of despair faced by the Scourge.
Turning around and heading south, they bumped headlong into the regular army of the Kingdom of Alterac.
Artillery, crossbows, under the huge pressure of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the army of the Kingdom of Alterac carved the art of explosion into their bones.
Although the soldiers of the Alliance and the Horde are monsters, on a battlefield with firepower comparable to the First World War in the Earth Age, hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons is still the most effective means of killing, but the Scourge Legion does not have the luxury to carve deflections on ordinary skeleton soldiers. Runes and mana shields block blast damage.
Most skeleton soldiers don't even have armor.
So the results were surprisingly good.
The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the cannons are blasting.
When it comes to inspiring military morale, victory must be exaggerated, but Carlos knew that it would be difficult for Anhador to replicate the victory at Hillsbrad Hills.
In fact, the production efficiency of the Scourge Legion is not only no worse than that of the Kingdom of Alterac, it is even higher than that of the countries of Azeroth.
After all, the brainless undead are perfect for doing these repetitive tasks, and the peons and slaves will not demand a wage increase or go on strike.
There is a fatal window period for both the undead and humans.
The essence of the Lich King is all in Northrend. It cannot unlimitedly enhance the individual strength of the undead in Lordaeron in a short period of time. It can only rely on the huge numerical advantage of fighting to support war and the strong individual strength of the death knight to crush all living beings. .
With his own kingdom on his back, Carlos has the possibility of defeating the enemy in a single battle before the undead truly rise, but it will take time to gather scattered forces.
This makes Andor an important location.
Although giving up Anhador and attacking Stratholme directly is the most profitable option, the Lich King will not choose this.
Yes, I (the Lich King) is so powerful, why should I let a human force linger behind me?
Two days later, the number of arriving refugees gradually became fewer and fewer, and Anhador fell silent.
Those who ran slowly were killed, which is probably the reason for the decrease in refugees.
Although everyone knew what was going on, no one took the initiative to say it.
In the tense atmosphere of silence and repression, Carlos withdrew a large number of peripheral personnel.
Because there is no need.
Help has arrived from Dalaran.
Under the observation of the mage's eyes, the mighty undead army stretching for tens of miles was vividly displayed in front of Carlos.
To make matters worse, unlike the Scourge army that attacked Hillsbrad Hills, the army led by Arthas had sufficient necromancers and necromancers.
This is the real trouble and terrible existence.
The best option against a spellcaster is always another spellcaster.
Rather than saying that the Scourge's spellcasters erased the advantage brought by Dalaran's reinforcements, it is better to say that Dalaran's mage assistance saved Anhador from the fate of destruction.
In less than half a month, the Scourge Legion built the Plague Chariot. Hundreds of Necromancers used the Poison Cloud Technique together. What a slap in the face to Anhador!
"I really admire you, Carlos. I heard that you used this thing to travel several times. My stomach still feels uncomfortable."
However, Carlos is not without a trump card.
In a hidden warehouse, Mograine, who was riding a dwarf helicopter to catch the show at night, was eating bread sausage and drinking warm ale with every bite.
"Are you telling the truth?"
For the purpose of secrecy, Carlos hid the existence of the Silver Hand Paladins.
"Yes, just like you met Biglas, I also met an old acquaintance."
Mograine patted his beloved knife leaning against the table and said with a vicissitudes of life.
"And I learned from a certain psychic who was afraid of death that the commander of another undead army was a death knight named Lilas."
"Liras?"
Carlos thought he had an impression of the name.
"Well, a high elf death knight."
Mograine responded in the affirmative.
