Chapter 69 Natural Disasters and Civil Unrest
In the ruins of Lordaeron in Tirisfal Glades, the death knight Arthas has just fought his way out of the ruins of Lordaeron in embarrassment.
Due to the magic of Demon Hunter Illidan, the Lich King in Northrend suffered heavy losses and its power continued to decline, causing the controlled undead of the Scourge to regain their free will again.
The three Dread Lords of the Burning Legion, Varimathras, Balnazel, and Deserok, launched a rebellion, occupied the ruins of Lordaeron, and gained control of most of the undead.
Fortunately, the death knight Arthas was not too weak, so he defeated the ruins of Lordaeron.
The banshees resurrected by the high elves accompanied him to the so-called stronghold in the north of Tirisfal Glades.
"This is it, sisters." The leading banshee stopped first, said to the other banshees in a hoarse voice, and then turned to the death knight Arthas, "We will rest here, great king."
"Why here? We must find Kel'Thuzad, and then...ah!" Death Knight Arthas asked in confusion, but before he could finish the question, severe pain came from his mind.
The image of the Lich King appeared in the mind of Death Knight Arthas, and it angrily rebuked, "You have been deceived! Come back to me immediately and obey my orders!"
The cunning Lich King knew that he had lost control of the banshees, which meant that the banshees were likely to betray him, so he awakened the death knight Arthas, who was crucial to him.
"What on earth... happened?" Death Knight Arthas asked the banshees in confusion, but he found that the previously submissive expression had disappeared and was replaced by hatred.
An arrow shot at the death knight Arthas at extremely high speed. He was weakened and in a state of confusion and did not notice it in advance. By the time he discovered it, it was already too late and he could only raise his arms to protect his head. The arrow was instantly It penetrated the solid armor and stabbed into his arm.
Death Knight Arthas looked in the direction of the attacker, and happened to see the Banshee Queen who was supposed to be his servant, so he said in shock, "Sylvanas?"
"You came to the door yourself, Arthas, it's time for things to change!" Sylvanas Windrunner, the Banshee King, said happily as she recalled being killed by Arthas. She was so alone when she died, and now she finally had a chance to take revenge.
Originally, Arthas gave up his life and became a death knight. The undead and frost magic filled his body. The pain of the living person should have disappeared long ago, but Arthas discovered that the arm he was hit by the arrow was... I felt heartbreaking pain, so I asked angrily, "Traitor! What did you do to me?"
"This is a poisonous arrow specially made for your characteristics. How do you like it? How does it taste?" The joy of revenge made Sylvanas Windrunner, the Banshee King, extremely happy, and then she became angry again. "The pain you are suffering now is nothing like the pain you are suffering now." What does it mean compared to what I accepted?”
Being stabbed in the chest by the sharp blade of Frostmourne, the death knight Arthas chose the most painful way to kill Sylvanas, the ranger general of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and transform into a twisted banshee. This pleasure , even the Banshee King Sylvanas, who has long been transformed into an undead, still cannot forget it.
"Then kill me." Rather than become a plaything for revenge, Arthas would rather be killed directly.
Sylvanas, the Banshee King, would obviously not let Arthas have his wish: "A happy death? No! I want you to taste the same torture as me. Thank me for the poisonous arrow, you now Even escaping is a problem.”
Only the undead can develop poison that is effective against the undead. The poison on the arrows of the Banshee King Sylvanas comes from the Dalaran mage Faranir who was killed by Arthas and turned into an undead.
"Stand back, you ignorant guys! You will not die like this, my king." A voice sounded like the cold wind in Northrend, and the great lich Kel'Thuzad appeared with his elite troops of the Scourge.
The Lich King still has certain control over the undead of the Scourge. He can see the vision of Arthas and Kel'Thuzad at the same time, so he has already asked the Archlich Kel'Thuzad to lead his troops to meet Arthas in case of emergency. .
Although the Banshee King Sylvanas is powerful, she is no match for the Archlich Kel'Thuzad and his Scourge troops.
Just then, another voice sounded from high up.
"How can a grand banquet be held without me? Arthas, you can't leave until I'm satisfied!"
Garin stood high, and behind him were the elites of Thoradin's legion and the Scarlet Crusaders.
Through the news and progress from Prince Kael'thas, Garin had been counting the time and asked the Syndicate to sneak into Tirisfal Glades regardless of casualties, just for this moment, to block Arthas at the most critical moment. .
"Garin Trollbane?" Arthas naturally recognized Garin, but he never expected that Garin would appear in Tirisfal Glades.
Garin pulled out Tokaral, jumped down, and struck Alsace with the help of gravity. "It's me. It's surprising. Alsace, your crimes end here!"
The left arm was poisoned by the arrow, making it impossible to lift it, but his right arm could use Frostmourne. Facing Garin's slash, Arthas raised Frostmourne with his right arm to block.
The two divine swords of Frostmourne and Tokalal collided together, causing sparks to fly instantly.
However, with the addition of gravity, Garin's attack was not enough to threaten Arthas.
After obtaining Frostmourne, Arthas's strength even reached the peak of mortals. Even if he was weakened, he was not at the same level as Garin.
As Garin took action, the Thoradin Legion and the Scarlet Crusade also began to attack. The archers holding bows and crossbows first attacked the Scourge troops of the Archlich Kel'Thuzad through the superior position of the high ground, and then the warriors and paladins of the Thoradin Legion and the Scarlet Crusade launched a charge.
Banshee Queen Sylvanas did not expect things to develop to this point. Garin's appearance was a surprise to her, and he stopped Arthas and the Archlich Kel'Thuzad.
But except for Garin, the others obviously did not understand that the undead such as the Banshee Queen Sylvanas had escaped the control of the Scourge, so they launched indiscriminate attacks.
In order to ensure that her sisters, the Banshee Queen Sylvanas, would not be harmed, she issued an order to "retreat to the woods."
After the Banshees successfully evacuated, the Banshee Queen Sylvanas did not leave, but hid in the dark, ready to attack at any time. She did not want to miss the opportunity to take revenge on Arthas.
