Invincible Chapter 552
Terenas' face was as deep as water, and there was deep grief in his eyes.
Seeing this, Kane took the initiative to step forward and speak: "Your Highness, your power control is not bad, but the attributes of Frostmourne are too strong. The alarm device is constantly flashing, we can't ignore it."
After the opening remarks of the cold joke, Kane got to the point
"As a father, the king insists on confirming your attitude. In fact, we all hope that we are wrong. Your choice makes everyone regret."
Alsace's gloomy face changed suddenly, and he laughed loudly: "You think you are the victor? You frogs in the well have no idea what Azeroth is going to face! What will happen next.
As he spoke, he danced Frostmourne and released the famous skill, Death Coil.
And Kane greeted him calmly.
When Arthas swung his sword to attack the black skull with poisonous green mist, Kane smashed it into pieces with a seemingly casual slap.
Flipping his hands again, those dissipated, seemingly dangerous energies disappeared without a trace, as if wiped away by a rag.
"Your Highness, the use of this kind of power is too rough. Remember the concepts of control and purity we discussed? I think you were probably fooled by some novelty."
"Don't say it as if you know everything, how can you understand my experience and mood?" Alsace roared and rushed forward with his sword.
Kane admitted that compared to the young paladin in his memory, the current Alsace's strength is indeed not small, the speed is fast, and it is fast enough, and he can also experience the veteran's combat skills and moves. Traits, obviously, honed in a lot of combat, but that alone is not enough.
"If it's the state after We are one, holding Frostmourne after killing enough heroes, I might still be afraid, now..."
As soon as he raised his hand, he directly pinched the blade of Frostmourne.
But Alsace felt that the sword was completely melted into a huge iron ingot, and he tried his best to suck it, but it didn't move at all.
"How is it possible!?" He lost his voice and changed his color.
"If you know the principle, it's not that complicated."
Kane explained very academically: "Soul power and soul disappear,
The power I hold is full of the will power of all people's beliefs. It is far purer and larger than the same kind of power in this sword, so its magical effects will disappear. Also, to be fair, the Lich King's gifts were not all that generous. "
Then, Frostmourne changed hands.
Arthas fought back vigorously, but without success.
The current Alsace is a high-level death knight, and under the targeted powerful force and well-prepared calculations, he was quickly defeated.
Kane seemed to take the sword with his bare hands in a calm manner, but in fact he took some risks and used tricks.
Seizing energy, seizing power, and finally seizing power, one ebbs and another, once a shot is taken, Frostmourne is taken down.
Without this magic sword, Alsace is like a snake whose fangs have been pulled out, and he has no capital to make trouble.
"Ah, ah!" Alsace, who had lost Frostmourne, quickly let out a cry of pain, his golden hair turned into a frost-white color in a very short time, and his handsome face was completely distorted by the pain .
"Here, Your Highness, take this and hit it first."
Arthas snatched the object from Kane's hand. It was a short spar scepter. When Ethan took it out, he felt a familiar yet unfamiliar power.
As soon as the scepter was in hand, the pain quickly began to ease.
"I, I am... I can't hear that voice that keeps talking in my heart! I can be myself again!" Arthas felt that his state seemed to have returned to before he pulled out Frostmourne.
"It's just temporarily blocking the connection. The moment you draw your sword, it's like signing a contract. The magic oath is not so easy to cancel."
"What should I do?" Arthas asked weakly.
"Start by trying to forgive yourself."
The corner of Alsace's mouth curled up, and he said with a sinister smile: "I never feel that I am wrong, so where do I need forgiveness?"
At the same time as he spoke, he had once again exploded into trouble, a wave of dark purple energy wrapped around his right fist, and slammed hard between Kane's chest and abdomen.
Boom! Not to mention the strength of the fist, the energy is very penetrating, and a part protrudes from the back, giving the impression that Kane's body has been punched through.
"The power of a blow obtained by sacrificing one's own vitality is indeed not bad. But what do you think, prince? Do you think that this way you can catch the hostages and take them away?"
While blocking Alsace's mad tiger-like attack, Kane said in a calm tone: "It's already failed, why don't you save yourself some dignity?"
But the more he behaved like this, the angrier Alsace became.
In rage, Arthas really stopped, and said with a dark face: "I failed, but the plan of the Lich King will not be terminated because of this, and Azeroth still faces the fate of being destroyed. I advise you You, taking advantage of the options now, refuge and allegiance are the only way out."
Kane said in his heart: "Young prince, your IQ is not online! Are you talking to Amway at this time?"
And the answer that came out of his mouth was: "Your Highness, all you can offer is generosity in words. How many people would want to have their lives, souls, and everything they cherished taken away?"
Alsace snorted coldly: "Really? I think if the result of disobedience is far more terrifying than death, then making a huge sacrifice is not so unacceptable. Only by living can there be a chance to change."
Kane nodded and said, "This is a heartfelt statement."
After that, Kane didn't say anything, but gave up the dominance to Terenas.
Terenas had a lot to say to Alsace, but here, it is not father to son, but king to courtier. Terenas has not forgotten that he is a king first.
So Alsace was invited into the Arcatraz, and Terenas continued to host the welcome event.
The fake prince who had been prepared for a long time appeared on the stage, accompanied Terenas to appear in front of the public, showed his father's kindness and filial piety, and delivered a speech, which won numerous cheers.
This is a public figure, the face is more valuable than the life, and the image must be maintained.
There were still members of the Scourge in the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Part of it is a traitor, and part of it is the combat power presented by the Lich King after Arthas pulled out Frostmourne. These people were originally humans who explored or pioneered in Northrend. After being captured, trained and practiced by the Lich King for many years, they are already their puppets.
Kane had a hidden child in the Northern Expeditionary Army. Shortly after Arthas returned to the camp with Frostmourne, the secret agent passed the news back through the Freemasonry channel.
So Kane calmly arranged, in addition to targeting Alsace, naturally there are also targeting these Scourge party members.
These partisans fell on the poison they thought was the least likely to be poisoned.
Undead are immune to toxins, even the Cursed Cultists are highly immune to toxins. But sufficiently high-end synthetic toxins are not within the scope of immunity.
The triumphant warriors and the grand banquet have gained the confidence of the people and relieved their emotions. Their prince led the warriors and successfully avenged the victims. Evil fell under the hammer of justice once again.
And the king also got what he wanted, the cohesion of the whole people was enhanced, and the authority of the king was further strengthened.
On the night of the feast, in the Arcatraz, after Terenas had a private conversation with Alsace, Kane appeared again.
Kane, a butterfly, has been diligently flapping its wings for many years, and the overall situation has changed a lot.
As the vanguard of the Burning Legion, after the Lich King completed the conquest of Northrend, he realized that the Alliance had emerged from the trauma and influence of the war, and its strength was even stronger than before.
The natural disaster plan of the original historical line is based on the fact that the Kingdom of Lordaeron is the hub and core of the alliance. Defeating Lordaeron, due to the beheading effect, can cause the alliance to collapse, and then be defeated one by one.
In a world with Kane, when the Lich King was formulating a grand strategy, he faced a situation of economic upswing and political and economic separation.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron is still a well-deserved leader of the alliance, and the population, overall strength, political influence, and various big data can explain the problem.
However, the sudden rise of the Falken Kingdom made Lordaeron only a dreadful young man in terms of important economy. Even the will to win was almost lost.
This means that the Union has two hearts, one political and one economic. The Lich King was once the spiritual leader of the tribe, and it still has a rough understanding of the significance of Falcon's powerful manufacturing industry to the alliance.
It can be said that even if the Scourge can destroy the Kingdom of Lordaeron in one fell swoop, the Kingdom of Falcon will take its place, just like how the Kingdom of Lordaeron took over to fight against the enemy when the Kingdom of Stormwind was destroyed in the Human-Beast War.
When the Lich King was formulating his grand plan, although the Kingdom of Lordaeron was still the most suitable target, the overall strategy was already very different from the original historical line.
This time, the Lich King did not take it for granted that the Kingdom of Lordaeron could be ruined by relying on Arthas.
His expectations of Alsace are not too high.
It can only be said that as an adult, what step can be achieved depends on the specific situation.
In this case, it did not show much disobedience to the Burning Legion.
The Dreadlords also saw the situation clearly. Although they had various opinions on the Lich King, they were even more afraid of the punishment they would face if they failed to complete the task. As a result, internal fighting was suppressed to a large extent.
Under the leadership of the three leaders, Varimathras, Malganis, and Balnazar, the Dreadlords cooperated with the Lich King fairly well, and their specialty of "manipulating people's hearts" was brought into play.
It is precisely because of this that the Kingdom of Lordaeron still has so many leading parties and fanatics of the Cult of the Curse after Kane has made a series of efforts.
For the sake of the big plan, the dread demon kings had already started to sneak in as early as 18 years. And completed the initial settlement and the construction of the stronghold.
The Barov family's betrayal of the Kingdom of Alterac was the first performance of the Dreadlord.
Kane didn't know they were buried so early.
Of course, he found out through clues in the end, and then began to reflect. He guessed that the plan of the Burning Army was quite different from what he had predicted.
However, it is too late to make monitoring arrangements at this time. More importantly, relying on those shadow members, there is no way to keep an eye on every important person. World of Warcraft is epic, and there are many important heroes on the stage. This is not a random cover.
Kane knew the sharpness of the dreadlord.
He feels that the history of the development and demise of the Scarlet Crusade in the original historical line is a better example to witness its sharpness.
Saidan Dathrohan, unfortunately separated from the team in a certain battle, was seized by the secret Bazanar, killed him and seized his body.
By virtue of his status as a leader, Bazanar firmly controlled the Scarlet Crusade and cultivated a group of fanatical and unscrupulous extremists.
In the end, the Scarlet Crusade became the evil undead and demonic beings they swore to fight to the end, which is very ironic and very thought-provoking.
It is precisely because he knows the means of the fearful demon kings that Kane is not optimistic about the early stage situation.
He knew that he had no way to persuade the dignitaries and people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron with empty words.
If you talk too much, you will be provoked by the fearful demon king, and even the originally harmonious relationship will be broken.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron, and even the Alliance, must suffer enough losses to wake up and feel the pain.
Facts also proved his inference.
Even Thoras Trollbane did not believe that such a force could make Lordaeron pay such a heavy price, let alone the leaders or people of other countries.
So from a certain point of view, Kane and Medivh are facing the same dilemma.
What makes him stronger than Medivh is that he has more time, and he doesn't just rely on words to save the country, he can use power including influence and authority to make various arrangements.
Some of his arrangements are selfish.
For example, he was partial to the Silver Knights. He didn't want this organization to fall into the pit prematurely and be hit by heavy fire.
This kind of arrangement is to think that if the Kingdom of Lordaeron collapses, the Knights of the Silver Hand can use the name of the Holy Light to quickly win people's hearts.
The teachings are there, they are more reliable than the corrupt nobles.
The nobles not only have accumulated disadvantages, but are also more likely to be infiltrated. There is no need to say more about things that are too much interested in profit. The Silver Hand is much better in this respect. In addition to the constraints of doctrine, it is also because it is a young and dynamic new organization after all. It is different from the holy religion of the abyss world at sunset.
In the face of the catastrophe, the Kingdom of Lordaeron needs a bright banner.
Moreover, for Kane, the longer the burning invasion is delayed, the better it will be for him and the entire alliance. Therefore, he was unwilling to erupt prematurely, and the Burning Legion fought fiercely. He worried that with his relatively weak accumulation, he would not be able to have the last laugh.
