Different from the hustle and bustle outside, the golden palace was particularly deserted. The heavily armed guards were lined up in two rows with stern expressions.
"salute… "
"Swipe... brush... brush..."
Following the order of the captain of the guard, the Scourge soldiers on both sides raised their weapons at the same time, turned their faces slightly, and watched Adele and her party who came towards Shanshan, with deep respect in their eyes.
Adele, a top student at the Scourge Royal Military Academy, a rising military star, a powerful hero, returned triumphantly with supreme glory.
All of this has planted the seeds of loyalty in the hearts of all soldiers.
They look at their leader with admiration, and maybe one day, they will have the opportunity to serve under the leader's command, and gain their own glory in the war.
Adele nodded slightly, and walked expressionlessly under the gazes of everyone.
Passing through the red-carpeted corridor, Adele came to a huge palace. She stood still slightly, raised her head, narrowed her eyes, and carefully looked at the tallest building in the Icecrown Castle. thing.
In her impression, she has only been to this place twice, the first time was when she first set out, and the second time is now, even though Adele is already the commander of the Scourge, this place still makes her feel very far away.
"Your Highness, we have arrived..." The captain of the guard made a humble gesture, with a smile on his face but a hint of indisputability in his tone, "I don't think we should keep His Majesty waiting too long, what do you think? ?”
"Let's go!"
Adele was surprisingly not angry, she nodded lightly, and walked in first, the captain of the guard had no choice but to follow quickly.
A fortified hall was lined with guards armed to the teeth. They held weapons and stood majestically on both sides. Their faces were covered with cold steel masks, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.
Along the huge stone steps more than ten levels high, an old man in a purple robe sat on a high throne, holding a long scepter in his hand and wearing a pure gold crown on his head. His majestic eyes scanned the crowd below.
He is the actual controller of the Scourge Legion, the Scourge Emperor Fesmarck.
"His Majesty!"
Adele and his party knelt on one knee and saluted the Calamity God Emperor.
"Get up!"
A smile finally appeared on Fismer's face, and he motioned for Adele and the others to stand up.
"Adele, my child...you did a great job. You led the army for the first time and defeated the human who claimed to be the Lich King. You also brought the Hokkan District, which had been lost for 100,000 years, back to the undead. Honestly speaking, I am very satisfied with this achievement..." Fissmarck gently patted the armrest beside the throne, and said with a smile on his face, "Your achievements... are enough to be recorded in the annals of history, and you... will also become New hero!"
"The entire Icecrown Castle will be filled with your name, and the entire Scourge will be glorious because of your victory..." Fismeg smiled, "And I... will personally honor you and give you everything you deserve... "
"Your Majesty, thank you!" Adele lowered her head and replied calmly. She paused, "I got something by accident during the Battle of the Forgotten City, and I want to dedicate it to Your Majesty..."
Fismer's eyes lit up, "The Scourge Scepter?"
Adele nodded.
Fismer was overjoyed when he heard that, "Bring it up immediately!"
Adele glanced at the necromancer next to him, and nodded slightly. The necromancer understood, flashed his hand, and took out a black box as if by magic. Adele took the black box, walked up the steps step by step, and approached Fez. Mai Shenhuang walked.
"Quick... hurry up..."
Fismer's impatience, the scepter of natural disasters, the artifact that all undead want to have, symbolizes the highest power. With it, Fismer is the justifiable master of the undead, and he has been waiting for this day for too long .
Just when Adele was only three steps away from God Emperor Fesmarck, suddenly, a mutation appeared.
With a sound of "swish," what was drawn out of the black box was not a scepter of natural disasters, but a sharp long sword emitting a cold light. At this moment, Adele suddenly raised her head, her blood-red eyes were full of murderous intent. .
I saw Adele rushing to the throne in three steps at a time. Amidst the exclamation of everyone in the hall, the sharp long sword pierced deeply into Fismer's abdomen.
Everyone was stunned, and no one thought that Adele would suddenly strike to assassinate His Majesty the God Emperor. Because the distance was too close and he was unprepared, God Emperor Fesmeck did not dodge this deadly sword …
The expression on Fismer's face was full of astonishment, but there was not much panic on his face. He is the God Emperor, one of the powerful gods, and it is not so easy to be killed, but the next moment, his eyes snapped Open the boss.
The necromancer standing beside Adele slowly took off his hood, revealing a human face, releasing the suppressed power without any scruples. Only then did Emperor Fesmarck realize that this guy It turned out to be a god, and his power was suppressed by this god who was stronger than him, and he couldn't even exert any strength.
Humanity! gods!
Who else could have these two identities? Looking at the entire main plane, there was only Ron. At this time, Fismer finally understood, but what he didn't understand was, why did Adele do this? Doing this... what good would it do her
Fismer's eyes moved up slowly, with a hint of anger and a hint of questioning, but he didn't ask from the beginning to the end.
Adele did not disappoint him, and said calmly, "Since the moment you killed Lord Tito... I am determined to avenge him... Your Majesty the God Emperor, do you have anything else to say today?"
"So that's how it is..." Fismeck murmured, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. As a person in power, of course he would not issue such a stupid order. All of this is Scarlett's own initiative, but now I can say these things What's the use? He felt a little regretful, regretful that he didn't favor Scarlett and made her do stupid things.
Adele slammed the long sword in her hand, and Fismer's body fell weakly.
"Ding... Ding... Ding..."
The pure gold crown fell from Fismer's head and rolled far away, making a crisp sound.
Everything happened so fast, no one thought that Adele, the commander of the Scourge, planned a perfect assassination, and many guards hadn't recovered yet.
When they came to their senses, Fismer had already fallen into a pool of blood.
"Protect the Emperor God..."
"Kill them..."
The guards just woke up like a dream, and rushed forward with roars.
"Humph!"
There was a flash in Ron's eyes, and the vast and powerful death power spread out, killing several guards who rushed to the front like lightning, shocking everyone.
"Lord Lich King is here, who dares to mess around!"
Shaar shouted coquettishly, and stopped in front of Ron, his snow-white long legs trembled, kicking a headless corpse far away...
The footsteps of the guards stopped, and they saw the scepter of natural disaster in Ron's hand, which was turning "bone-like", like a beast that chose to devour people, and the powerful death power oppressed everyone breathless.
The guards hesitated, their eyes filled with doubt and fear, and at this moment, there was a loud "Boom—" and the ground outside the hall suddenly collapsed, and a huge, With a figure like a monster, the monster waved its double stings, opened its teeth and claws, and let out a frightening cry.
That is the direction of the "Dark Altar".
In the collapsed pit, a steady stream of undead soldiers poured out from it, and led by the huge monster, they fought against the guards of the dark altar.
They... are attacking the "Dark Altar" of Emperor Vismar...
The faces of the guards in the main hall were pale, and their calves trembled slightly. They understood that once the "Dark Altar" was destroyed, the Scourge Emperor Fesmarck would never be resurrected.
The "Dark Altar" was originally a heavily guarded place in the palace, but if the current situation continues, it will be a matter of time before it is breached.
The guards looked at Ron, who was holding the Scourge Scepter, and then at Fismer, who was lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"everything is over!"
At this moment, Adele stood up holding the blood-stained long sword, turned around slowly, and stared at the guards with cold eyes.
"I order you, as the commander of the Scourge, to lay down your arms immediately..."
"Dangling... Dangling..."
After hearing this, some guards immediately threw their weapons on the ground. Other guards hesitated, and after some struggles, they still chose to obey the order.
At this time, the battle at the Dark Altar was coming to an end. Under the crazy attack of Spider Queen Rose, Fismer's "Dark Altar" turned into ruins...
When the bloody skull flag floated over the Icecrown Castle again, the Icecrown Castle had already changed its owner. With the cooperation of Adele, Ron took control of the city as quickly as possible, and used the Icecrown Castle as his... The center of the circle is constantly expanding outwards, and with the identity of the Scourge Scepter and the successor of the Lich King, it takes no effort at all to make these undead towns that were originally loyal to the Emperor Fismer surrender all.
Half a year later, Saruman, the head of the Plague Legion, declared his allegiance to the new Lich King Ron, and the Plague Legion returned to the Scourge.
Since this day, the main plane of the undead has been torn apart, and the chaotic situation of endless wars with each other has finally come to an end. The undead clan, which has been divided for a hundred thousand years, has also moved towards unity again under the leadership of the Scourge...
…
a hundred years later...
On the wide battlefield, groups of black-clothed and black-armored undead troops marched silently, and slowly walked into their battle queues according to the commander's deployment.
Skeletons, zombies, black knights, meat grinders, bone dragons, frost dragons and other undead creatures roared in low voices, quietly waiting for the order to fight. Seen from the sky, there is a large black mass, like a rushing The river is like a river, with no end in sight at a glance, exuding a vast atmosphere.
It was an army of hundreds of millions of undead, the main force of the Scourge. A bloody skull flag was flying in the wind. Over the battlefield, countless dead souls were flying in the air, making shrill cries.
In front of this almost invincible army of undead is the coalition of the Justice League. They have angels from the Holy Angel Legion, elemental legions from Phoenix City, Moon Shadow Legion from the high elves, dwarves from Ironforge, and The mechanical legion of the goblins...
All of them looked dignified, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The Scourge Legion is the most powerful existence in the world of the main plane. They used to be chaotic, depraved, divided, and fought endlessly with each other. However, a great leader emerged from them. This leader took over from the former king. The scepter, with its powerful strength and wisdom, quickly ended the chaotic situation, reunified the divided undead, and became the most powerful existence in the world of the main plane.
The person who created this miracle was a human being, a human necromancer, and his name was Ron.
As the second war on the main plane slowly unfolded, everyone realized how powerful and terrifying the Scourge was. The ocean-like skeleton warriors, the weird and terrifying undead magic, the hard-to-defend crypt spiders, and the overlord frost dragon in the air. And the terrifying undead creatures are like a raging tide, constantly attacking the alliance's defense line with a fearless fighting spirit...
The natural disaster army leveled the grassland, conquered the mountains, crossed the sea, defeated one after another alliance army, and conquered one city after another. On this day, their footsteps finally stepped into the main plane of order. The Holy Land, known as one of the most incredible miracles in the world of the main plane - Cloud City.
Cloud City is the main city of the Holy Angel Legion. It is a city floating in the air with a land of eight square kilometers. This land is tens of kilometers away from the ground. It is said that it can touch the clouds. It is also the origin of the name of Cloud City.
Even the people who live here don't know what kind of power this land in the air floats. They think it's a miracle. In addition, this is the main city of the Justice League and the Holy Angel Corps.
And on this day, the time for the decisive battle finally arrived. The natural disaster army once again stepped into the cloud city, just like Heremus did a hundred thousand years ago, and fought the final decisive battle with the Holy Angel Legion.
On the battlefield, solemn and solemn, everyone held their breath, waiting for the horn of attack.
"Get... get... get..."
A death knight in heavy armor ran out from the undead army. She was riding a death horse. She wore a terrifying skull mask covering half of her face. Under the mask, her dark purple lips revealed mocking smile.
At this time, she reined in her horse and stood still, and suddenly drew out a long sword, pointing forward, and let out a long and shrill cry...
"kill… "
The Scourge launched a charge, and the undead rushed in like a tide, vowing to submerge everything. On the ground, there was a mighty army of undead. In the sky, there were endless gargoyles and frost dragons.
"Array, meet the enemy..."
The commander of the Justice League calmly issued an order. At this moment, his hands were full of sweat. Everyone knew that this was the final decisive battle. Once they were defeated, they would have nowhere to go. Behind them was Cloudsdale, justice The last bastion of the Alliance.
"Boom..."
The army of the Justice League collided with the undead army of the Scourge, and there was an earth-shattering noise. For a moment, people were overwhelmed, blood was splashed everywhere, and corpses were scattered all over the field. The two sides launched a thrilling fight.
The Holy Angel Legion stood up, and their paladins formed a phalanx, constantly attacking the Scourge. Like a sharp knife, they tore open the position of the undead army.
The elemental legion stood up, and their mages and magic knights continued to release large-scale attack magic, and a devastating rain of magic fell from the sky, bombarding the undead coming like a tide.
The brave dwarves wielded a huge ax out of proportion to their bodies, and chopped off the death knights one by one.
The elves used vines to construct a long defense line. When the natural disaster army rushed over, countless giant bears rushed out of the vines, and the undead who charged in front were immediately hit.
The battle in the sky is also very fierce. The undead air force composed of gargoyles, bone dragons, and frost dragons launched a decisive battle in the air with the angels, griffins, phoenixes, and giant dragons of the Justice League. Amidst the roar, creatures screamed from the air fall...
However, there are really too many undead army, densely packed, hundreds of millions in total, they went on and on, charging bravely without fear of death, wave after wave rushed to the position of the Justice League, in the stalemate, the Justice League The position is crumbling.
A smile appeared on the face of the undead commander wearing a skull mask. She could already foresee that the Scourge would win the final victory in this battle...
At this moment, mutants are born!
From a higher sky, there was a loud noise, as if something had exploded. The air in the sky slowly condensed and turned into a huge vortex.
Immediately afterwards, a trace of golden light appeared in the vortex, and the light became bigger and bigger, falling fiercely to the ground like a meteor...
"Boom..."
The earth-shattering loud noise and the huge impact crushed the undead under him into a pulp.
In the golden light, a burly figure stood up. He was wearing a golden armor, and the muscles on his body swelled up one by one, exuding a piercing aura.
"what?"
The undead commander was stunned, his eyes under the skull mask were full of horror, "That... that is..."
At this time, the golden-armored giant slowly raised his right hand, and there was a faint flash of thunder in his right hand...
"Boom..."
"what… "
With a scream, Ron sat up suddenly, his eyes were wide open, he was panting desperately, his face was pale.
"Ron, you're having nightmares again..."
A voice came from behind, and Ron looked back, but it was Kadina, who took a robe and gently put it on Ron.
"thanks!"
Ron tightened his clothes and smiled bitterly. He hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
Kadina hesitated, "Is it still the dream of the golden-armored giant?"
"Yes!"
Ron nodded, "It's been more than a month, and every time it's the same dream, when I fell asleep, it came out of my mind involuntarily..."
"This is not a good omen!" Cardina thought for a while, then pushed Ron, "Maybe you should discuss it with Sister Xia and the others..."
…
The next day, in the Hall of the Dead in Icecrown Castle, Ron held a meeting with Adele, Char, Saruman, Rose, Nicole, Kronia and others. He told everyone about his dream last night .
"The nightmare of the gods is not a simple thing..." Saruman, the king of dread, said solemnly, "Nightmares are often the reflection of the subconscious in the bottom of my heart. Those golden-armored giants must be things that even the gods fear... "
"That is to say... Lord Lich King, there is some kind of fear lurking in your heart..." Saruman stared at Ron and said every word.
"Fear? I haven't found anything that can really scare me..." Ron smiled and said after a pause, "But what I want to know is—what are those golden-armored giants?"
Everyone fell silent, and no one could answer Ron's question.
"Golden Armored Giant!"
Rose, the Spider Queen, pondered for a while, then she suddenly raised her head, hesitated for a while and said, "When I was following the former Lich King Heremus, I heard him mention a powerful race..."
"This race was born as a god, with a huge and burly body, wearing golden armor and holding a thunderbolt. Maybe this golden armor giant is the race in your dream!"
"Yes... yes... that's right... wearing golden armor and holding thunder, it is exactly the race you mentioned..."
Ron's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then... did Lord Herimus tell you the name of that powerful race?"
Everyone looked at Rose in unison.
"He said it! The name of this race is—" Rose hesitated and bit her lip.
"Titan!"
