Chapter 1716 The Grass on the Wall (Fifth Update)
At first, Arthas thought that Duke would compete with him for control of the surrounding frost elements like Vashj did. If that were the case, he would probably laugh out loud in his dreams.
of course not!
Alsace has long regarded Duke as his lifelong enemy, naturally because of Duke's glorious track record and unusual methods.
He also initially thought that Duke was pretending to take care of his own woman, and instead secretly controlled the elements around him. As soon as Duke opened his mouth, Arthas knew that he was wrong.
"Neither Ner'zhul nor Arthas has ever been a peerless powerhouse. He wasn't before, he isn't now, and he won't be in the future." If this paragraph ends here, then it will only be a paragraph without substantial meaning. The cruel words, the second half of Duke's words, made Arthas's face suddenly change color: "Only the Lich King, who endlessly draws strength from his subordinates, is the truly supreme power."
Almost at the same time that Duke's words fell, Alsace felt that another string in his mind was broken.
cut! Has another leader been defeated?
Arthas remained calm, Duke had no intention of letting him go.
Duke opened his arms, and a set of huge numbers made of arcane energy suddenly projected on his head.
The first number is 1, separated by a few spaces, the second set of numbers is 9, and then the third set of numbers is more than 10,000, and the fourth set of numbers goes directly to the million level.
Except for the first two sets of numbers, everyone can see that the last two sets of numbers are counting down rapidly.
Arthas was not stupid, he immediately thought of what these numbers represented.
Duke specifically pointed out: "The Lich King itself is just a weak existence. Putting aside all connections between you and his subordinates, there are at least two digits in the coalition who can defeat you. But with so many undead Provide you with the power of the soul, and whoever fights against you means fighting against a huge number of undead at the same time."
At this time, Duke glanced back at Queen Xi, and Sylvanas suddenly woke up.
No wonder no matter how hard she practiced and tried, she couldn't beat Alsace. Because fighting the Lich King means fighting an entire undead army of more than 100 million people.
As long as he cannot achieve an instant kill, no matter how injured he is, the Lich King can recover himself by absorbing the soul power of his subordinates.
On the contrary, as long as the entire Scourge Legion is destroyed, the Lich King will be a piece of meat on the chopping board, and he can chop it off as he wants.
Sylvanas' fair face showed a blush of shame.
Duke put on a defensive posture grandly. He used the frost element in his body to make a substantial ice ball and tightly wrapped himself.
Duke smiled faintly, and he did not hide his provocation: "So, the fighting of every soldier in the coalition is meaningful. I don't have to do anything, as long as I can carry the quantity and quality of the undead under your command. If you fall below the critical line, you will be weak. When you are too weak to withstand my attack, that will be my victory!"
Duke turned on more live screen projections of various battlefields in Icecrown Glacier.
In the magic mirror, the coalition forces are advancing towards Icecrown Fortress step by step in an orderly manner.
After entering the territory of Icecrown Citadel, the coalition forces laid their artillery almost flat, using close-range shooting tactics to cover the advance of infantry and tanks.
Almost every hundred meters forward, the earth elements under Alkavon were summoned to reinforce the ground beneath their feet to prevent the spider demons from digging holes and sneak attacks.
The logistics force first burned the corpse with flames, then sprinkled it with the Holy Water of the Naaru, using a devastating method to cut off the Scourge's retreat. It is also killing the source of Alsace's power.
Unless the Scourge can harvest corpses faster than they can be annihilated, Arthas' decline in power will be inevitable.
What disgusted Arthas was: For example, Varian seemed to have known this secret that only the Lich King should know early on. After they defeated Lord Malogar, they directly took away the [Shadow] from its body. Frost Shard].
This is the spiritual energy node for him to control more of his subordinates with the help of the natural disaster leader!
His control over his subordinates is a typical tree root-like structure. The leader of the branches controls the captains of the branches, who then control the elites of their subordinates, and the elites control the lower-level undead at the bottom.
Now that Varian and the others had directly destroyed the branches, Arthas could not help but feel angry for a moment. The most abominable thing is Duke, who used the same powerful mental power to disrupt Alsace's work of transcending the eliminated leaders and re-establishing the mental control circuit.
This series of actions seems to have been premeditated by Duke.
In fact, this time he wronged Duke.
Duke really didn't know that [Shadow Frost Shard] was the key node for Arthas to obtain energy supplies from the Scourge.
He told everyone in advance to remember to collect [Shadow Frost Fragments], just because he knew that by putting all the [Shadow Frost Fragments] together, he could form an awesome artifact, a two-handed axe, which is known as 'cutting people with every sight. It’s [Shadow’s Sorrow] that’s like a ghost and a ghost!
Whether it was a misunderstanding or intentional, the two sides' absolutely irreconcilable positions destined that after today, only one of them would be left.
"Haha!" Arthas laughed twice: "Do you really think that all of your heroes who were specially dispersed by me can win? As long as any group of people fails, they will become the new members of the Scourge. Pillar. By the way, Anastrian, wearing the Crystal Skull that Ner'zhul once used, has successfully raided Naxxramas. Even the Red Dragon Queen, who you rely on as a back-up, has been imprisoned by him. ”
"Oh? Really?" Duke remained unmoved and looked calm.
"Just try to stay calm. There is no one left over there who can check Anastrian. He will soon kill Jaina and Kael'thas and give them to me. Do you think you are I can have Gianna forever..."
Before Arthas could finish speaking, Duke interrupted him: "Of course! Jaina is mine! Every muscle and every inch of her skin is my property, and it has nothing to do with you Arthas." No. Besides, I can let her have a baby, can you?"
After saying that, Duke glanced at Alsace's lower body with contemptuous eyes.
I thought that after becoming the Lich King, my soul had become completely cold and I no longer had any emotions. Alsace realized that he was wrong, very wrong.
Precisely because he retained the memory of his time as a human being, it was impossible for him to let go of that resentment and hatred.
What Duke said was exactly what pained Alsace forever.
"You..." Just as he was about to say something, his words were interrupted again by Duke.
"Do you really think that Anastrian, the wallflower, has completely lost his will and will absolutely obey every order of yours? That cold crystal skull, um, don't even call him [Skull of the Betrayer]. wrong."
