Chapter 462 The Last Hope

Duke is likely to die! ?

In the past few days, the alliance has been shocked one after another.

Alonsus Fao's critical illness brought nothing but surprise to the upper echelons of the league.

After all, the Church of the Holy Light has the greatest influence only in Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind. The Church of the Holy Light preaches in other countries, but there are still many unbelievers.

When the kings heard the news of Alonsus, they also said: "I am sorry to hear this news."

But Duke is different.

Except for Alterac King Aiden who has already died, almost every king is a man who knows how to fight. They knew very well that compared to Anduin Lothar, who was upright and courageous, and who acted more straightforwardly, Duke was the glue and command tower that integrated the countries of the alliance together.

Lordaeron of Terenas is the target of public criticism. Everyone knows that Terenas' motives are a bit impure. No, it should be said that Terenas took this opportunity to want to be the heart of Emperor Thoradin II. the point.

Fewer troops were dispatched, and that was the fault of Lordaeron.

Sending troops and spending too much money, and worrying about whether it is Lordaeron's conspiracy, no matter how bad it is, it is a kind of condescending charity, which is uncomfortable for any kingdom.

With Duke, the kings of all countries are much more at ease.

The supporting troops, manpower, and material resources are absolutely sufficient and on time. And anyone can see that the killing strategy that Duke has always insisted on is the key to the alliance's current transformation from weak to strong.

If Anduin is the spiritual leader of the alliance, then Duke is the leader of the alliance whose importance is second only to Anduin.

Now, just as the league is about to enter the counter-offensive stage, news suddenly spreads that Duke is critically ill. The kings of all countries are really anxious.

Visiting Archbishop Shengguang, it was the bosses of various countries who took the time to go to condolences one by one.

What about Duke?

What a state guest house, it almost turned into a throne room meeting.

In the end, Duke had to be moved directly to the palace of Lordaeron, otherwise six or seven kings surrounded a small state guest house, what would it look like?

Even so, even King Daelin Proudmoore of Kul Tiras, who is in charge of the navy, also came riding a griffin, which shows how important Duke is.

To everyone's surprise, everyone saw a Duke with a different appearance, but did not see a dying Duke. The short hair is slightly gray, as if dyed, with a pinch of silver on the forehead.

Other than that, nothing else.

It didn't seem like a big deal, but Antonidas, the senior priest and the most authoritative researcher on curses, told all the kings that it was not that simple.

"Duke right now is like a bucket with a lot of holes in it. Every moment he loses his life force, and in ten days you'll see a thirty-year-old Duke. Twenty days later, it's forty. Years old. One month later, instead of being fifty years old, he will die directly."

"Is there no way to plug those holes?" King Ryan was the most nervous. For everyone else, the loss of a Duke is the loss of a Union commander. The main force of the tribe has been almost wiped out. The next battle, as long as you are not too idiotic, you can win it. The difference lies in the number of lives lost and how much time it takes.

But for the Stormwind Kingdom, what will be lost is likely to be the most important cornerstone of the kingdom in the next thirty years, the pillars of the country.

Antonidas shook his head regretfully: "A single curse is like a ball wrapped around a thread. No matter how messy it is, the thread can be taken off along the end of the thread. But Duke's situation is like a bunch of balls of the same color. I can't find a clue at all. This is a hole in the soul level created by different methods from many worlds, and I can't do anything about it. The most important thing is that this is a demigod mage cast cursed..."

The good thing that the guardian of the world has done, can a mage Xiri handle it?

Whether it's Ryan or Anduin, their mouths are full of bitterness.

Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, it was actually their dead old friend Medivh's fault.

The greatest irony in the world is nothing more than this.

The temperature in the air gradually dropped. The same goes for the lingering atmosphere in space. Almost everyone has a feeling of breathlessness.

"Hateful Gul'dan!" Anduin gritted his teeth and pounded on the wall.

At this time, it was Duke who spoke: "Actually, the situation may not be as serious as you imagined."

"It's not serious? Then what is serious?" King Ryan's eyes were red, and even his voice was crying.

Losing the land passed down from his ancestors, Ryan did not cry.

Stormwind City, which symbolized the sovereignty of the entire kingdom, fell, and Ryan did not cry.

Now that Duke is critically ill, Ryan is crying. It only took two seconds from the moment his eyes were red to crying.

"Stinky boy, you are dying now! I originally thought that you would help Varian and let him regain the glory of the Stormwind Kingdom! I originally thought that if it doesn't work out, I will let you..." Finally The word 'king' was not spoken, and Anduin patted Ryan on the shoulder, stopping him.

"Listen to Duke first."

Duke breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm such a thing, I guess the power of the mortal world is powerless."

When Duke said this, the hearts of the kings sank.

"But fortunately, I still have one last hope - the Red Dragon Queen."

"Alexstraza!?" Antonidas' slightly cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Why didn't I think of her? Duke is saved, oh, at least there is hope."

"What what?" The kings suddenly regained their spirits.

Not every king is so learned. They may have received a good education since they were young, but most of them are about governing the country, about martial arts, and about the cultivation of chivalry.

Only a knowledgeable veteran mage like Antonidas could possibly know this.

Under Antonidas' explanation, the kings knew that Alexstrasza was so awesome.

During the War of the Ancients, in order to prevent Sargeras from entering the world through the portal of the Well of Eternity, the spell vortex created by the Highborne in the Well of Eternity finally exploded. The collapse of the Well of Eternity triggered a powerful earthquake. The earthquake shattered the skeleton of the world, tearing away nearly 80 percent of Azeroth's landmass, leaving only a handful of fragmented continents surrounded by newly formed oceans.

The giver of life, Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen, dropped a magical acorn in the center of the Well of Eternity. As soon as the acorn touched the lake full of magical power, it began to take root and sprout, growing It became a huge oak tree.

The roots of the big tree go deep into the bottom of the lake, and the huge canopy almost covers the entire sky. This huge oak tree is an eternal symbol of the harmonious relationship between the night elves and nature. The life energy it emits can slowly spread and heal the wounds of the whole world. trauma. The night elves named their world tree "Nordrassil", which means "crown of the sky" in night elf language.
