Chapter 766 What Did Duke Do?
Even though they were thousands of meters apart, Duke and Antonidas had already 'seen' each other.
They both dislike each other very much.
Duke sighed. Although he knew Antonidas would kneel down early on, he never thought that the Archmage Xiri, who had been fighting for the alliance for more than ten years and was known as the top combat power, would become like this. Duke didn't know if he would become worse than Old Man Anthony if he really fell under the sword of [Frostmourne].
Of course, it is very likely that he will, because he himself does not believe in his own integrity.
It is also ironic to say that the most unscrupulous guy is like the most determined fighter, leading the alliance to fight evil "unswervingly"...
I feel like hehehe when I think about it.
However, as Duke, as a man who has moved the entire world, the smartest way is naturally not to let himself fall into that kind of tragedy!
And Antonidas, after seeing Duke actually use the magic circuit in his body to control Dalaran's magic tower, contain the Scourge's offensive, and once again became the savior.
I don't know why, but hatred seems to be alive and growing in his illusory soul body.
He activated the secret door left in his lifeless body.
Like a child rushing towards a brand new toy, he rushed towards it impatiently.
He knew that no matter how far apart he was from Alsace, there was an invisible chain that tied him to the fallen prince's hands like a dog.
He was powerless to change his fate, and that's when he began to hear whispers.
"Kill Duke and make him serve my glory as you do, Antonidas. Together you will labor for death, and you will both desire obedience and servitude. Arthas was my first and favorite. Death Knight, he will forever command you, and you will be honored to do so."
[Frostmourne] is tempting Antonidas to kill Duke Marcus among the heroes. Drag the great hero of the alliance into the same situation as him.
right!
If the alliance commander turns into a lich, this will definitely be the biggest blow to the entire alliance!
A hollow and cold laughter began to appear on Antonidas's face.
"Yes! As long as I return to my body! I can become a great lich at the peak of Xiri level..."
Evil whispers are the most terrifying brainwashing in the world. This is not a simple hypnosis, but a kind of continuous induction, which continuously exerts influence on the soul until the victim regards the will imposed on him as his own will.
Antonidas' soul flew away.
Suddenly he fell into the body that he was very familiar with.
ah!
Such a familiar feeling!
This is what it feels like to be in a mortal body!
For a moment, Antonidas almost thought he could be resurrected.
Unfortunately, this is a beautiful and cruel illusion.
He is no longer a human soul.
Arthas cut off his escape route from the beginning. The soul transformed by [Frostmourne] can never go back to the past.
Demon spirits, and then lichs.
"Fortunately! That bastard Balnazar didn't damage my body too much." Antonidas cursed.
For the most perfect cover-up, Balnazar did not even modify the old mage's body or leave any evil traces on his body. Although the original intention was to implement a larger conspiracy, it undoubtedly gave Antonidas an advantage.
If his remains are damaged, even if he turns into a lich, his strength will be greatly reduced.
From the moment he returned to his body, the signs of life on the old mage's body began to recede rapidly. The originally dark yellow skin shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the already white hair and beard became extremely dull. Due to the contraction of the skin and muscles, the eyeballs in the eye sockets seemed to bulge out.
'Opening eyes' actually means opening the spiritual sense in the body. Antonidas saw his withered palms that were no different from zombies, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"No--" First there was a roar that refused to admit the reality, and then there was the infinite growing jealousy in his heart: "How can it be enough for me to be corrupted! Only Duke! Only Duke cannot be let go..."
However, a situation occurred that Antonidas had never expected.
His repeated murmurs, like a curse, were suddenly as silent as a goose stuck in its neck.
If he could still shed a cold sweat, then Antonidas was definitely sweating profusely at this moment.
At the edge of Dalaran, Duke and Kael'thas reunited.
Kael'thas had obviously returned to his mage tower. He looked at the scene, a little strange: "The lich Antonidas didn't catch up? And the authority..."
In the field of vision, the authority of the Mage Tower is still not fully occupied. The hundreds of mage towers in the city of Dalaran were clearly pouring firepower on each other. Countless light points of elemental light intersect in mid-air, and then bombard each other's towers. If you don't consider that this is a life-and-death showdown, it is really more beautiful than a fireworks display.
The super powerful magic shock destroyed less than half of the city in just a moment.
Almost the entire neighborhood was ablaze with screaming flames.
There was no destruction caused by wind and fire like ordinary cities. Instead, the exaggerated energy turbulence made the collapsed buildings more like some kind of evil artwork full of magical atmosphere.
A mage tower exploded.
It was originally destroyed by the fire element, but the explosion triggered the collapse of a gap in the frost elemental world. A large amount of frost elements splashed out, directly freezing all the flying masonry in mid-air.
The mage apprentices trying to seek refuge near the mage tower and the killing undead army were completely frozen.
The originally extremely solid floor tiles on the street were like waves composed of pixel games, arching up and falling down layer by layer. The entire city of Dalaran seemed to be experiencing a never-ending earthquake.
However, thanks to Duke's temporary control of the mage tower and the clear arrow guidance on each mage tower.
Probably more than half of the mages and mage apprentices managed to escape outside the west city.
Outside the city, there is an army of 100,000 people who are already waiting!
Seeing Duke and Kael'thas coming out, Mograine, who returned to command the army one step ahead, breathed a sigh of relief: "Cover each other and withdraw the troops! The entire army's target is Silver Pine Forest!"
At the beginning, the army with the Scarlet Cross Legion as the core was still very nervous. Several huge phalanxes faced Dalaran City and retreated alternately in an orderly manner.
Because the baggage troops had already moved ahead, most of the remaining troops were soldiers, as well as the hesitating Dalaran magicians and escorts.
Kael'thas raised his Congressman banner from Dalaran a little further south of the army. This big flag was like a magnet, quickly attracting the Dalaran people who had fled in a hurry.
