Chapter 1224 City in the Sky
Anand is a low-level lich.
Thanks to the fact that he was a human sky mage during his lifetime, when his soul was captured by the Lich King after his death, he naturally became a lich.
In the Barrens, the undead soldiers under his command were gathering the bodies of a slaughtered village together.
"The quality of orc skeletons and zombies is indeed better than that of humans. It's a pity that orcs have little chance to give birth to witches and monsters..."
It was obviously a very ordinary soliloquy, but in the end, he was shocked to find that it would take dozens of times longer to convey his thoughts.
"Slow... speed... art!?"
He realized something, but was unable to change the situation at all.
He wanted to call for help, but no skeleton around him could sense his spiritual command.
The next moment, his consciousness completely dissipated, and he didn't even know that a young mage wearing a blue and white robe was standing behind him.
"Hmm! Interesting! So interesting!" Duke touched Anand's skull, and the soul-based ability he learned from the Burning Legion came in handy.
When the other party's memory, even the mental communication channel and the Lich King's magic imprint composition method were transmitted to the system elf for classification and classification, Duke touched his chin: "The so-called [Soul Searching Technique] is nothing more than this, right? "
Vanessa complained about Duke's actions at the right time: "Oh! Has the terrible beast Duke's evil power finally reached the limit? Have you been reduced to the point where you don't even spare your bones?"
Duke is so embarrassed: "Hey! Damn maid, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do anything extraordinary."
"Oh! It doesn't even count that you dyed the majestic Black Dragon Princess white with white turbid liquid?" Vanessa tilted her head in disdain.
Well! Vanessa's evidence is so damn strong.
Duke was speechless!
However, the next moment, Duke raised his hand, but he did not see any movement of Duke casting a spell. A ball of flames fluttered, and the Lich lying on the ground was reduced to ashes in the flash of lightning. And the Lich His clothes and equipment were completely intact.
"Master, what are you..."
"Tell Jaina to follow the plan."
Meanwhile, Kel'Thuzad was feeling extremely annoyed.
After becoming a great lich, he thought he had lost the emotions that a living person should have. It's a pity that the mental attributes of anger and irritability still remain in his soul.
He didn't know how long Duke's attack on Blackwing Lair would last, and he didn't know if Kil'jaeden had any deeper plans against the Scourge. He only knew that he should take advantage of the opportunity of these living beings to take care of themselves and collect more powerful servants for His Majesty the Lich King.
"The troll riot is just a little trick. The one who can really affect this world is the one behind Ahn'Qiraj..."
Kel'Thuzad used the red light from the skull's eye sockets to sweep across the audience, where three Knights of the Apocalypse were repairing their bodies with shadow energy.
Kil'jaeden's space trap was a bit strange that time, and it felt a bit... not lethal enough. Although it caused considerable damage to the Scourge, it was not fatal.
It seems that among the three knights of the apocalypse, the most seriously injured Kurtaz only lost his lower body, which is fatal to the living, but nothing more to the undead.
Kel'Thuzad was still dissatisfied: "Not good enough! There must be a strong enough individual, and a Paladin would be even better."
After becoming a great lich, he did a lot of inhuman experiments and basically came to the conclusion that the strongest undead must be transformed from the strongest living people.
Without the living, there would be no dead. The growth of the Scourge Legion must still be filled by powerful living beings. This was not good news for Kel'Thuzad, who believed in the supremacy of the dead.
Until the Lich King awakens again, as a servant, Kel'Thuzad can only follow the existing rules.
Looking at Renault Mograine, who was standing in the direction of the attack and was a little restless further away, Kel'Thuzad felt upset. This kid has completely failed to show his due value. If he succeeded in assassinating his father and dragging the famous Ashbringer into the realm of the dead, Kel'Thuzad might give him a second-tier leader position.
Now...a third-rate death knight, get out of here!
Raising his huge palm and pointing his cone-like white skeletal fingers toward the east, Kel'Thuzad ordered: "Start the movement of Naxxramas! The target is the South China Sea City-State!"
Kel'Thuzad's memory as a human was not that long ago, and he knew very well that humans were fragile creatures that would starve to death in large numbers without food. At this time, the production areas of the Eastern Kingdom Continent and the Southern Continent were concentrated in the Western Wilderness and Elwynn Forest. The problem was that the abominable Duke was running the Kingdom of Stormwind like an iron barrel.
The Sentinel Territory was upgraded to the Sentinel Fortress, forming a defense chain with the Xiquan Fortress and other fulcrums. Coupled with the rapid reaction force composed of a large number of cavalry and tank troops, the small force of the Scourge was useless.
In order to demonstrate the power of the Scourge and allow the Cult of the Damned to rise again after being suppressed to the point of being suffocated, Kel'Thuzad believed it was necessary to destroy an alliance capital as an example. Just like Alsace did 6 years ago.
Nanhai City - This is a miracle city that developed from a seaside town 20 years ago. As an important port connecting the north and south continents for shipping, Nanhai City's defense capabilities are also impressive. However, it still lacks the foundation of the main city of the old kingdom.
The city wall and other things can be completed with dwarven machinery, but the carving of magic protective runes on the city wall cannot be done quickly at all. A magician's magic and mental power are limited. No matter how powerful the magician is, spending an hour a day carving magic runes is already the limit.
Therefore, the magic protection level of Nanhai City can only be considered average.
In fact, the city of New Lordaeron is in the same situation, but Kel'Thuzad believes that His Majesty the Lich King will be more interested in capturing the city of Lordaeron himself.
He chose the time very badly, letting Naxxramas approach in the air just after nightfall. If all goes well, Naxxramas can raid Nanhai City around 12 midnight.
Night is a time when human vision is greatly reduced, but for the undead who only rely on their souls to perceive the outside world, this is the prime time of the undead.
Everything seemed fine until...
Kel'Thuzad was shocked to see a huge floating island no less big than Naxxramas appearing in the sky of Nanhai City.
"That is……"
Kel'Thuzad will never forget the domed purple mage towers that stand on the island. They are the crystallization of magical wisdom accumulated over 2800 years. That is also a testimony of human magical civilization.
Although it was destroyed once by the Scourge, it has obviously been rebuilt.
And it appeared in front of the Scourge Legion with a completely new attitude.
Kel'Thuzad's voice was almost a whisper: "Dalaran..."
