Dar'Khan never wanted to harm his compatriots, but he was tired of the endless strife in Silvermoon City.
But the Magister underestimated the power of the void.
After all, he was tricked by the Lich King.
This is a competition of intelligence. Dar'Khan is in the second layer and the Lich King is in the atmosphere.
In the face of a long life, talent is particularly important.
Darkan may not be the kind of high elf with the most magical talent, such as Kael'thas, but he is definitely the hardest working.
If that's the only premise, then there's nothing special about Darkan.
The problem is that among the magisters who work equally hard as Darkan, he has the best talent.
This is very interesting. Six times four is destined to be less than five times five.
As early as ten years ago, Darkan already had the strength of a great mage, but he did not participate in the evaluation.
The problems in Silver Moon City were not caused in this century, but were ills accumulated over thousands of years.
Darkan, who pursued power and devoted himself to wisdom, who tried to change the world with his own efforts, is dead.
The adults in Silver Moon City chose it, their idol!
Ten years, they don't know how Darkan has spent these ten years.
Dar'Kan, who had already despaired of Quel'Thalas, opened his doors to teach and recruit disciples, and has pinned his hopes on the next generation.
However, even such a simple wish was forced into a joke by the living reality.
Some of his apprentices came because they admired Darkan's knowledge, and a few were willing to listen to the teacher's words and discern the teacher's thoughts.
rare.
Desperately little.
The lively Mage Tower is only because Darkan has free tuition.
The students were engrossed in learning the magical knowledge taught by Darkan, but they fell asleep in the teacher's philosophy class.
In the final analysis, it's just that magic education in Silvermoon City is too expensive, and Master Darkan is stupid and has too much money.
The apprentices only admired Darkan's power and the teacher's interpersonal relationships. They only hoped to enter Silvermoon City and become a master.
Quel'Thalas is hopeless...
More than once, Darkan felt such despair.
So the Lich King's whispers did not let go of Dar'Kan.
But Darkan did not give in.
He accepted the Lich King's gift, but rejected the Lich King's solicitation.
This made Darkan feel distorted. What was the difference between his behavior and his students.
At this level of the game, Darkan won.
But the Sun King's difficult situation made Darkan even more breathless.
Once upon a time, Dar'kan also placed his hope in Anastarian's efforts to govern and that the royal family could lift their spirits.
However, the older he gets, the more he sees and the more he experiences, the more Darkan understands the hardships of the Sun King.
Silvermoon City is a big prison, and the supreme Sun King has been bound to the Sunstrider Court by the expectations of all the high elves in the entire kingdom.
Dar'Khan was ecstatic as Anastarian began to liquidate all opponents.
He believes this is the biggest turnaround in Quel'Thalas in thousands of years.
Prince Kael'thas is a magic genius, and no elf in the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas would doubt this.
But the magic genius Kael'thas is not a pure magister after all. He is a prince, the only son of the Sun King Anastarian, and the man destined to become the next Sun King.
Arrogance was Arthas' greatest original sin. Kael'thas, who was too smooth in magic, was more like a mage than a king.
The prince's way of handling things was too simple and crude, and he almost entirely relied on the prestige accumulated by the Sunstrider family over thousands of years and his own personal strength and charisma to govern the country.
After leaving Silvermoon City, Darkan saw the current situation of Silvermoon City more clearly.
The Sun King was worried that his upright boy could not defeat those two-skinned thousand-year-old monsters, so he began to physically eliminate them one by one.
This made Darkan decide to go with the flow.
He did not refuse the Lich King's offer and exchanged the secrets of the runestones for the knowledge of the Void.
Because Dar'Khan believes that external stimulation can help the Quel'dorei elves resolve internal conflicts.
So what if they cracked the barrier of Yongsong Forest? The orcs also did it back then. As a result, in front of the gate of Silvermoon City, the orcs didn't even scratch the wall.
In the eyes of Dar'Khan, the Scourge are just a bunch of disgusting toys of the Lich King, worse than even the orcs.
After all, Silver Moon City's solidified magic barrier is much more powerful than the large barrier in Yongge Forest that relies on rune stones.
Dar'Khan didn't realize that his heart was as cold as iron. As long as it was to "save" Quel'Thalas, "sacrifice" was acceptable.
As long as the undead natural disaster cannot break through the gate of Silver Moon City, then "some" civilian casualties are just the price that must be paid for "change".
It's just that Darkan forgot one thing.
The Lich King was not "in love" with him alone.
All powerful spellcasters in Azeroth heard the Lich King's whispers, but some were thoughtful and some were indifferent.
Coincidentally, Silvermoon City is the place with the most powerful spellcasters in the Eastern Kingdom, and it is also the closest overseas city to the Ice Throne.
Great magisters like Bi Luohua will naturally not respond to the Lich King's whispers. However, the number of great magisters is limited after all. There will always be magisters working in Silvermoon City who will have the same idea as Darkan and try to take advantage of him. The Lich King's bargain is to use some dispensable "services" in exchange for the forbidden knowledge of the Twisting Void.
When many seemingly unrelated "little accidents" were connected together by the Lich King, Quel'Thalas has become a piece of meat on the Scourge's cutting board.
Think about it, the spellbreakers who are immune to magic are at the front, the rangers of the Farstriders perform physical remote output, and the magister army carries out fire bombardment behind them.
What a flawless tactic.
It's a pity that this is simply a military method used by the high elves to deceive their human friends.
Why are expensive units like spellbreakers used to fill the front row? These mage killers are simply military police used to fight civil war against the magister army!
Here's an ad, the reading app I'm using recently, [\Mi\Mi\Reading\\\] has many book sources, complete books, and updates quickly!
Spellbreakers are not only difficult to train, but the anti-magic armor and shield of annihilation are also expensive to build. The most important point is that the Sunstrider family has firmly controlled this force from beginning to end.
However, other nobles are trying their best to add sand to the Spellbreaker troops, so that the ace team of high elves can perform infernal affairs at any time.
Anastarian even transferred most of the spellbreakers to the island of Quel'Danas in order to lure potential political opponents into revealing their flaws.
However, the high elves are not fools with clever ideas. They know that the spellbreakers cannot stand up to the front row, so they create an army of arcane golems.
These steel golems with arcane cores as their energy source are much more reliable than spellbreakers.
However, the seemingly invincible arcane golems have a very troublesome problem, that is, they consume too much energy. Therefore, most of the golems in Silver Moon City are in standby mode, and only a small number of golems are activated to maintain order in the city.
This obviously gave the Lich King a chance.
Ner'zhul had no need to destroy these arcane golems, nor was he interested in seizing control of them.
It doesn't even need to corrode and win over the great magister responsible for maintaining the golem army. It only needs to control the engineers and high-level technicians who repair the golem.
After all, the more sophisticated a creation is, the more fragile it is while being powerful.
The loosening of a few circuit nodes can cause the arcane golem to lose most of its combat effectiveness.
Coupled with the struggle between the Sunstrider Court and the Silvermoon City Council, both sides were unwilling to transfer the Farstrider troops back to Silvermoon City.
The seemingly indestructible Silver Moon City can only rely on the city defense barrier connecting the Sunwell.
Just as Arthas walked the long way to reach the mountain road leading to Quel'Thalas, a top-secret message was finally sent to the camp of the Alliance Vanguard Army.
"Damn it, Carlos went to town! What a good thing..."
Magni Bronzebeard was qualified to read top-secret information, but he preferred not to read it.
Because intelligence said that two days before the date of signing, the Naxxramas necropolis, which had been staying above the city of Lordaeron, disappeared. After detection, the mages of Dalaran deduced that this floating fortress was heading towards North move.
Magni Bronzebeard's first thought was that the Lich King was looking for trouble with the Vanguard Army. Counting the days, this happened seven days ago.
