Chapter 743 Ridiculing the Lich King
If possible, Duke would not want to use such despicable means.
It is certainly a tragedy that Arthas fell from a good prince to a death knight. It is a pity that Duke, who was blown into the void, had no time to stop it.
However, making a mistake once does not mean that you can make a mistake again and again.
Arthas is dead and has gone further and further down the path of evil. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes the second generation Lich King.
If Alsace is not stopped, the tragedy in history will repeat itself again.
Think about the Eastern and Western Plaguelands in later generations, which occupied a full third of the continent of Lordaeron. There is a vast and boundless land of despair for thousands of miles.
The earth is corroded, plants are withering and mutating, and the ground is filled with terrifying undead creatures, as well as infected and mutated animals.
Duke still remembers the fawns covered with boils crying in despair, and the squirrels turning into hideous monsters. It may be said that the mastermind behind the spread of all this was the crazy Kel'Thuzad and the Lich King Ner'zhul who was tamed by Kil'jaeden. But without Arthas, the culprit, carrying the flag in front, the Scourge would not be able to do this. .
In the original history, after the destruction of Lordaeron, many resistance organizations emerged in Lordaeron.
In addition to the Knights of the Silver Hand, which was disbanded before Arthas fell, and the most famous ones, the Scarlet Crusade and the Silver Dawn, there are actually many other organizations. For example, the Northern Army of Lordaeron led by the later Marshal Garithos, and the local armies of Lordaeron such as the Andorhal Guard, the Darrowshire Guard, and the Hearthglen Guard. There are also various civil resistance organizations.
These organizations have effectively restrained or hindered the advance of the Scourge.
However, when King Daelin of Kul Tiras led a fleet in an attempt to rescue the people of Lordaeron, he was shocked to find that the entire land of Lordaeron was already filled with undead.
Why?
It’s because most of the resistance organizations have been destroyed!
The Scarlet Crusade was manipulated by the Dread Lord into applause. Resistance forces everywhere were destroyed.
Alsace alone had killed his teacher Uther and Gavin Ladd, one of the Five Silver Saints, in the original time and space.
There are also:
Markulos, the leader of the Justice Guard, the Scourge resistance organization in Lordaeron.
Halak, leader of the Ring of Light, the Scourge resistance organization in Lordaeron.
Dagran, the leader of the Ultraforce, the Scourge resistance organization in Lordaeron.
The above is only within the territory of Lordaeron. Apart from Lordaeron, the unstoppable Arthas led the Scourge to sweep across the entire continent of Lordaeron. N big figures died under the sword of [Frostmourne]: Daala However, Kirin Tor Chancellor Antonidas, Elf Ranger General Sylvanas, Sun King Anastrian...
In total, more than 10 million people died directly or indirectly at the hands of Alsace.
Now that the world-destroying drama of the Scourge has begun and the avalanche effect has begun, the easiest way to prevent the biggest and most horrific tragedy in Azeroth's history is to kill Arthas.
It's definitely not easy!
Duke didn't have the strength to blow up a planet with one move or destroy an entire universe with two moves. All he could do was to risk everything he had as a time traveler.
Feeling sorry for Kalia, Duke still pressed this big card.
Sure enough, Alsace's face, which seemed to have long been indifferent to everything, showed fluctuations for the first time.
"No! You lied to me - Kalia died thirteen years ago."
"Yes! In order to escape the shame that her fiancé is Neltharion, the Deathwing, and in order not to be imprisoned in the palace and waste her youth, she begged me to let her fake her death." Duke said almost word for word, and raised his voice at the same time. Starting, a magic mirror appeared in Duke's hand.
The interference of the Undead Canopy makes magical communication impossible.
This is not important. With the system elves, Duke can perfectly copy the communication images that Kalia sent to various places in Lordaeron before teleporting away.
"I am Calia Menethil. I did not die thirteen years ago..."
"I'm sorry to tell you some sad news. My brother Arthas Menethil has been persecuted by the Dread Lord and the evil lich of the Cult of the Damned, and has fallen into a death knight. He has lost his humanity. Killed my father, His Majesty Terenas..."
"In the name of the royal family of Menethil, I declare that I, Calia* Menethil, will officially succeed to the throne of Lordaeron and become the queen..."
There was a slight change in her tone of voice, and her youthful face was gone. Although Kalia had changed a lot, the blood connection still allowed Alsace to recognize his sister immediately.
"Sister..." His mouth squirmed for a long time. Alsace, the most terrifying man in this era, who had moved from the most extreme light to the deepest darkness, suddenly cried like a child.
The undead have no tears, it is actually just a hollow howl.
The next moment, just when everyone thought Duke had defeated such a terrifying enemy with just his words, frost suddenly fell from the sky.
Frost in June is never a good thing.
Suddenly, an extremely huge will came.
It’s hard to describe this horrible feeling…
At that moment, it seems like thousands of lives are simultaneously making their most desperate wailings before death in your ears.
At that moment, it was as if hundreds of millions of creatures appeared in the field of vision, being tortured by demons, their fur torn off, their flesh and blood ripped out, their internal organs dug out, their bodies screaming and burned by the flames, and finally even their souls were thrown into purgatory and endured countless hardships. years of pain.
Be it humans, orcs, or elves, every creature held its breath involuntarily. His chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge boulder, and his shrunken lungs could no longer remember how to expand.
It was a depressing feeling of despair.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that behind this increasingly powerful Death Knight, there was such a terrifying existence that was watching and directing everything.
"Duke..." An old and evil voice echoed in everyone's minds: "Duke*Marcus!"
The sound that sounded like thunder made everyone's brains buzz.
"Oh? Ner'zhul? How is your health recently?" Duke was not affected at all: "Oh! I forgot. After you were tortured to death by Kil'jaeden, you have become a toy that can only stay in ice. , there is no body anymore!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to stone.
Duke... is so awesome! We can't even breathe, but Duke still has time to tease that terrifying Lich King?
How big is Duke's heart?
In other words, how strong is Duke?
Facing such an existence, how can one not feel any fear at all?
