Rivendell sighed, drew his sword and charged forward.
Then.
Never fought.
Captured alive.
A matter of course.
Otherwise, why would the Lich King build a ziggurat instead of wreaking havoc on the mountains and rivers when he has such a huge advantage?
Of course, it's because building a ziggurat is more exciting.
The power of the Ice Throne is very strong. As long as the Lich King concentrates, Azeroth has no secrets for it. But there is only one Lich King after all. Ner'zhul's method of controlling the Scourge is similar to frantically cutting the screen, and this method of operation will greatly consume its energy and weaken its soul strength.
Playing games with my life, I would like to call Ner'zhul the King of Games!
Ahem...
Getting back to the topic, it’s not that the Lich King didn’t know that the first few days after conquering Lordaeron were the so-called golden opportunity period. If Box A was ignored, it would be possible to destroy humanity.
But the question is, what good does this do for Ner'zhul?
Becoming the Lich King was not of his own free will, it was just the oppression of his master.
How come Ner'zhul, the leader of the Shadowmoon Clan, became the Lich King?
So the natural disaster is raging, and Ner'zhul is also not directly benefited.
It's just another master's task.
In the final analysis, the Lich King just hopes that the Defiler can help him escape from the control of the Deceiver.
Therefore, siege of cities and territories is not as good as infrastructure construction, and the empires built are all fake, while the radiation range of the ziggurat is real.
Although the magic network of Azeroth was shattered with the explosion of the Well of Eternity, Malygos's lair in Northrend also made it convenient for the Lich King to spy on the node location of arcane energy.
Each ziggurat is not only a power generation unit, but also a signal base station and a service terminal.
It was precisely because of the huge energy provided by the ziggurat that Alsace was able to use Frostmourne to slash the sword that shocked the world and the gods.
For the same reason, the Lich King can give speculators extraordinary power without sacrificing the strength of his own soul.
Therefore, it is a matter of course that Baron Rivendell cannot defeat Marduk in black.
Arthas wanted to kill all the prisoners and turn them into undead, but Kel'Thuzad dissuaded him.
In other words, the Scourge actually left prisoners behind because of Kel'Thuzad's order.
As the number of ziggurats increased, Kel'Thuzad's soul residing in Alsace was no longer just a secret agent that bewitched His Highness. Kel'Thuzad could also use the power of ziggurats to sense external situations and even send messages to low-level undead. Scourge gave orders.
This is the authority that Ner'zhul promised Kel'Thuzad, and it is also the Lich King's compromise with practical needs.
Archimonde's will is becoming more and more condensed. Opening the door to welcome the princes of the Burning Legion is the Lich King's current top priority.
So the Lich King needs Kel'Thuzad.
He needs his wisdom, his magic talent, and his body again.
The Sunwell, the Scourge desperately needs the Sunwell.
Although Sun King Anastarion hid the Sunwell well, the magical barrier of Quel'Thalas could not completely block the Lich King's prying eyes.
The energy of the Sunwell can not only help an almost demigod lich like Kel'Thuzad reshape his body, but can also provide energy for the coming of Archimonde.
Even if they have obtained core props including the Book of Medivh, opening a portal large enough for Archimonde to pass through is still a headache for most spellcasters.
Malygos' Nexus is actually more suitable than the Sunwell, but let's not mention the question of which one is stronger between the Blue Dragon Legion and the Scourge, which are both headquartered in Northrend. Let's ask about summoning Archimonde in Northrend. , is it really good for Ner'zhul?
I'm afraid it's not like an old birthday girl who hanged himself and lost his mind.
Therefore, Kel'Thuzad, who had the same goals and interests as the Lich King, did his best to assist Arthas, who only had loyalty and killing in mind.
Therefore, developing downlines among captives is a necessary measure.
"Your Highness, we have no time to waste. Your brother-in-law will rush out of Andorhal soon. We must break through Silvermoon City before the Alliance hinders us."
"So we need more Scourge Troopers."
If it weren't for the fact that the soul state couldn't use an ellipsis, Kel'Thuzad wouldn't know how to respond to Arthas's absolutely correct nonsense.
"Yes, we need to gather more strength, so allocating too many troops to attack Stratholme City is not worth the gain."
"Breaking Stratholme City can create at least 200,000 undead soldiers."
"Yes, but if we attack by force, we need at least 100,000 troops, and we must be prepared for a siege of more than half a month."
"I can break through the walls of Stratholme with one sword."
Arthas ignored Kel'Thuzad's advice.
"The ziggurat has not been repaired yet."
"..."
Kel'Thuzad once again bemoaned the damn law that souls were not allowed to use ellipses.
"You have a point."
Arthas decided to do good for once.
His Royal Highness didn't even need to intimidate him. The first time Rivendell saw Arthas, he knelt down and bowed before him.
So the next thing is simple. With Rivendell as the internal agent, the Scourge Legion only needs to hunt down the fleeing humans all the way to the outside of Stratholme City, and leave the rest to the Curse Cult and Rivendell.
In this way, Arthas could lead more troops to attack Quel'Thalas.
While the Scourge's invasion was raging, Carlos was also actively preparing for war.
The most important step in this process is to hold a meeting of alliance leaders.
This is not a face-saving job, but a real political project that will greatly improve combat effectiveness.
Although with the murder of Arthas' father, the fall of the city of Lordaeron also meant the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the Alliance of Lordaeron was dead in name only.
At this critical moment of saving the nation, Carlos cannot rely on his wife Gallia's claim to inherit his father-in-law's inheritance.
In that case, the Scourge wouldn't have to fight, and at least half of Alterac's troops would be able to fight against the refugee group in Lordaeron.
Therefore, the importance of alliance is particularly important.
Because Terenas Menethil II was dead and Genn Greymane withdrew from the alliance, when the reinforcements of the dwarves and gnomes crossed the Paladin Gulf and arrived on the continent of Lordaeron, Carlos only needed the power of Stromgarde. With nominal support, he can control the alliance unanimously.
In the name of the alliance, forcefully suppress all careerists.
With the justice of the alliance, a formal declaration of war was issued.
With the great cause of the alliance, unify the forces of the entire continent of Lordaeron.
Those who truly obey will prosper and those who go against will perish.
Therefore, Carlos ignored the news of the collapse of Kaolin's defense line, endured the rumors of despicable people, ignored the slander of the friendly forces who did not understand Anrushan, and concentrated on waiting for the arrival of Magni Bronzebeard and Kael'thas Sunstrider.
The transition of the army has been mostly completed, as long as a consensus can be reached at this meeting.
The counterattack begins immediately!
