Chapter 1273 The End of the Apocalypse Knight (Part 2)
"Resurrection!?" This word made Queen Xi very unhappy.
It sounds like there's no end in sight.
Duke considered it for a moment and continued: "It is difficult for the soul of a living creature to multiply. You can think of it this way, the lost soul will never come back. It will disappear forever along with certain memories."
"Then what's the matter with joining other souls?"
Queen Xi’s question feels like she’s asking Duke his own question!
Duke smiled bitterly: "Generally speaking, an independent soul is very exclusive. Basically, there is no real fusion between souls, just like water and oil, they can never mix together. But the Scourge seems to have some kind of We use various methods to forcibly sew different souls together. For example, Kel'Thuzad, when we first discovered that he was a necromancer, we used holy light to purify his soul. Logically speaking, at least 80% of his soul should be gone... "
"Then why..." Queen Xi hesitated.
"He has lost himself a long time ago. If it is soul fusion, it will inevitably introduce the will of other souls. Even if it is merged with the soul of a blank baby, it will dilute the concentration of the original soul. The strength of the soul affects A person's strength. If the fused soul is too weak, the strength will be greatly reduced. If the fused soul is too strong, he will lose himself, or he may not even be able to figure out which will belongs to him."
In fact, another example is the Lich King Ner'zhul and Arthas. On the surface, Ner'zhul has been tempting the fool to fall, dragging his soul into the abyss of despair, but Ner'zhul is too soft-hearted.
From the moment I met Kil'jaeden, I was afraid of this and that, and dared not take responsibility. Only then did Gul'dan come to power. Then he became the warchief, and because he was afraid of Kil'jaeden, he desperately attacked Azeroth, and was finally directly bombed by Duke.
From the beginning to the end, this guy is a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
If Kil'jaeden doesn't torture his soul for ten or eight years, he won't be able to accomplish anything.
Now that he was done, he tempted Arthas to fuse his soul with him, but who knew that his will was too bad, and the result was that almost none of the will of the majestic chief and the first generation Lich King was swallowed up.
This was how the second-generation Lich King Arthas emerged. If he had given some strength, there would have been only one Lich King from beginning to end—Ner'zhul.
In fact, Du's will is not that strong, but Duke's soul is so tolerant! Most of what was fused were the souls (morality) of famous saints, and that’s why the people now call them ‘Saint Duke’.
Duke sighed softly.
While Duke's team was in a daze, the battle between the other two sides also came to an end. They only changed the target of attack once more and they were done.
The portal opened, Tirion was holding Serijek's head, Gavin Rad was dragging Braumux's soulless remains, and the fifteen members of the heroic group finally gathered together.
"It's all solved." Gavin Ladd breathed softly.
At this time, Alleria, Tirion, and Kallia came together.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, Duke could only say: "What's wrong?"
The beautiful and dignified female elf spoke first. Her voice was like an oriole emerging from the valley with a rare solemnity: "Actually, Braumius and Serijek are people of the Silver Dawn."
Tirion is a very upright man, and he also speaks straightforwardly: "When they stood opposite us as death knights, there was no doubt that we should eliminate them, but now..."
Kalia responded: "Can you redeem their souls like you did with Thaddeus?"
After hearing this, Duke was stunned at first.
As a time traveler and old player, unless it is an impressive game mission, who would care about the historical background of each boss in a large dungeon with more than a dozen bosses.
The three of them didn't mention it, and Duke didn't know anything about the background of the two Apocalypse Knights.
After Tirion's detailed explanation, Duke knew——
In fact, this was also the crime Kel'Thuzad committed a while ago when he led Naxxramas around to cause trouble.
The land of Lordaeron, which was originally contaminated by the natural disaster and plague, has shown signs of recovery.
The problem is that President Ke drives the flying fortress to cause trouble everywhere. Of course, the major cities in the alliance countries that have been greatly strengthened are no big problem. However, due to lack of maneuverability and low visibility at night, remote areas are always affected by disasters.
The top leadership of the alliance ordered the shrinking of the defense line. Unfortunately, the rebuilt blood elf kingdom Sin'dorei was equally astonishingly dependent on the outside world.
As a last resort, after discussion, Kallia and Sylvanas decided to maintain the supply line from Stratholme to Eversong Forest.
The most important fulcrum of this supply line is the strong fortress built in the southwest corner of Stratholme-Northland Fortress.
The predecessor of the Northland Fortress was the Northland Watchtower. Later, under Duke's order, the alliance concentrated a lot of manpower and material resources to expand the watchtower, forming an area of 3,000 square meters, with east, west, and south. , a small fortress with five towers in the north and middle.
Another fulcrum of the supply line is the Thalass outpost at the junction of Lordaeron and Sin'dorei. This watchtower is guarded by the Silver Dawn, an independent force that is not affiliated with either country.
Because of Arthas' destruction of the city of Lordaeron and the 'Silvermoon City Massacre' incident, many survivors were in great pain and also extremely hostile to natural disasters.
Representatives among them are the Duchess of Sin'dorei, Braumux, and Sir Serijek of Lordaeron. The former serves as the commander of the Saras Watch Tower, and the latter serves as the commander of the Northland Watch Tower. The two of them are the core figures of the Natural Disaster Defense Force.
In order to coordinate how to better protect the strategic materials and energy sources and continuously deliver them to the Kingdom of Sin'dorei, the two commanders kept meeting in an abandoned village in the North Valley. As a result, after a long period of love, the handsome Sir Serijek fell in love with Miss Broughamux, and the equally beautiful Miss Broughamux was also conquered by Sir Serijek's charming temperament. The good guys held a grand wedding for the two people. People temporarily forgot about the terrible natural disaster, and the warm atmosphere reappeared in this sad land.
However, at this time, Kel'Thuzad played a beautiful trick. He first let Naxxramas fly to the city of Lordaeron. In fact, when the fortress flew over the Hinterlands, he secretly dropped a Yuri The elite death knights led by Wendell.
"You also know what happened next..." When Alleria said this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Rivendell tortured the interracial newlyweds, giving them death and miserable servitude.
"When the fight started, I could feel the struggle in their souls," Tirion said.
"Me too." Gavin Ladd responded.
"Duke..." Kalia crossed her fingers in a standard praying posture.
Duke's scalp was a little numb: "Okay, okay! I'll give it a try."
