Archimonde's previous projection clone and his current true body are not at all of the same order of magnitude in power level.
Arthas was stunned at this moment. When Archimonde's true form came, he realized how powerful the commander of the Burning Legion was, even though Arthas had gradually lost many emotions. , became increasingly indifferent, but when he saw Archimonde, he still felt the long-lost fear.
Archimonde opened his arms and roared excitedly to the sky. The terrifyingly powerful flames of evil energy spurted out from the palms of his hands and eyes. The surrounding environment also changed due to the appearance of the flames of evil energy. It's dark and cold.
Of course he will be excited, because for the Burning Legion, the planet Azeroth is simply a blemish and a failure in the Legion's great cause. In the tens of thousands of years of expeditions, the Legion has wiped out countless planets, even if We have also encountered resistance, but without exception they were resolved quickly. We have pushed forward all the way until now, but we have encountered failures one after another on the planet Azeroth, whether it is Sargeras or Archimonde. Kil'jaeden as well regarded these failures as the greatest shame.
And this shame must be washed away!
Now, after thousands of years, Archimonde once again stood on this planet in his true form. This time he vowed to bury this planet!
"Well done, little lich!" After Archimonde vented his anger, he lowered his head and looked at Kel'Thuzad with satisfaction and said, "My plan was completed very well by you."
Kel'Thuzad bowed again and did not dare to answer. He knew that such compliments were not sincere. Archimonde probably just gave a compliment casually. If Kel'Thuzad took it seriously, then it would be called Silly.
Accompanied by a beam of teleportation, Tikrios, the leader of the Dread Lords, appeared again. After he felt Archimonde's aura, he teleported over. After seeing Archimonde, he happily said: "Sir, all preparations have been completed."
"Very well, Tikrios!" Akemeng said: "In this case, the Lich King is no longer useful to me, but the strength of the Scourge Legion cannot be wasted. Next, you, the Dread Lord, will take over the command. "
"As you wish, Lord Archimonde!" Tiklios said with a ferocious smile on his face, stroking his chest in greeting.
"Soon, I will personally launch an invasion of Azeroth, but before that, I will use these miscellaneous warlocks as an example..." Archimonde looked at the city of Dalaran in the distance. Outline: "I will annihilate their city in the dust of history!"
After saying that, Archimonde stepped away from the altar. Every step his tall body took made the earth tremble, and Tikrios left closely behind Archimonde.
Since his arrival, Archimonde has not even glanced at Arthas, nor spoken even a word to him. Now that he has left, he treats Arthas and Kel'Thuzad as if they were nothing.
After Archimonde left, Arthas couldn't suppress his anger and shouted in a low voice: "What is this!? Are you kidding us!? We were relieved of command just like this!? Natural disaster The legion is my army!
"
The once extremely arrogant Prince Arthas felt that he had suffered a huge insult. After talking to Kel'Thuzad, he certainly knew that the Lich King Ner'zhul was a tool of the Burning Legion, and the Scourge Legion he was asked to form was only for the purpose of Let the demons invade Azeroth again and serve as an outpost, but no matter what, Arthas has been doing his best to carry out his mission. Now he finally waited until Archimonde, the commander-in-chief, arrived. As a result, Archimonde De didn't reward him, so he just turned around and took away his command power.
How can you let Alsace swallow this breath
Fortunately, Kel'Thuzad was more mature and prudent, and comforted him: "Be patient, young death knight, you have also seen Archimonde's power, we are unable to compete with him... But don't worry, Lich King He has anticipated all this, and there is still a place for you in his next plan."
The situation was stronger than the people, and Arthas understood this, so with Kel'Thuzad's persuasion, he had no choice but to accept this reality.
After Kel'Thuzad saw that he had calmed down, he floated back to the altar and planned to put away the Book of Medivh.
However, at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the void. They were Julier and Bainiya. They appeared in front of the Book of Medivh and blocked Kel'Thuzad's way.
"What... do you want to do?" Arthas came forward on a skeleton warhorse, standing side by side with Kel'Thuzad, staring at Julie and Bainiya with cold eyes.
"Ha, your young prince!" Bainiya smiled enchantingly and replied: "You...did you forget something?"
"What did I forget?" Arthas was unmoved.
Juliel stretched out her hand, held the Book of Medivh floating in mid-air, and then said with the same smile: "You forgot, you have another mission, right?"
"Want us to remind you?" Bainiya narrowed his eyes: "The real owner behind the sword in your hand..."
Alsace was shocked and couldn't help blurting out: "You... are not Tichondrius's men? But..."
"Tikrios?" Juliel shook her head: "He can't command us. After all, we are on the same level as him... We are not even Archimonde's subordinates. We obey the orders of Osiris, the King of Despair. !”
Kel'Thuzad felt a little confused just now because he didn't know about the communication between Arthas and Luo Yin, but when he heard the name of Osiris, he suddenly realized it and turned around to stare at Arthas. , said: "You... have you contacted Osiris, the King of Despair!?"
"Yes..." Arthas did not hide anything. He nodded and whispered to Kel'Thuzad: "In Frostmourne, in addition to the Lich King, there is another more powerful will hidden. He calls himself the King of Despair Osie. Rhys…”
"You..." Kel'Thuzad didn't know what to say, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Arthas was also a little surprised and said: "Tell you what to do? Isn't this King of Despair also the commander-in-chief of the Burning Legion? Aren't he and Archimonde the same group?"
"..." Kel'Thuzad didn't know how to explain it to Arthas. Compared with Arthas, who had less experience, Kel'Thuzad was a member of the Kirin Tor Council and a powerful mage who was familiar with various classics. , Dalaran's historical documents also mentioned the Burning Legion. They were all recorded after learning about it from the high elves. Arthas didn't know the situation of the Burning Legion, but Kel'Thuzad did.
He could only say helplessly: "Young death knight, rashly contacting these powerful beings is not a good thing for you... I don't know what Osiris, the King of Despair, promised you, but you will understand when you look at Archimonde Now... Without a contract, the devil's promises are often not fulfilled... "
"What's more, your communication with the King of Despair may have exposed the Lich King's plan..." Kel'Thuzad sighed.
"What should we do?" Alsace was also confused.
Kel'Thuzad ignored Arthas, but turned to look at Juliel and Bainiya, and said: "You two, since you are Lord Osiris's men, let's talk... Archimonde You didn’t show up when the Lord came, but showed up after he left. I think Lord Osiris’s purpose may be different from Lord Archimonde, right?”
"You are very smart, Lich!" Bainiya looked at Kel'Thuzad with some surprise.
"And he's very courageous!" Juliel agreed.
Kel'Thuzad stroked his chest and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Juliel, Lord Bainiya. In fact, the Lich King once told me that strictly speaking, it was Lord Osiris who created the Lich King..."
"That's right!" Bainiya nodded and said: "Although the Lich King was born because of Kil'jaeden's plan, it was the demon blood of Osiris, the King of Despair, that transformed Ner'zhul into a lich. My dear, only the blood of the Frost Demon King from the abyss world can create a creature like a lich."
Arthas finally understood, but then he shuddered. He was a death knight created by the Lich King Ner'zhul, but the Lich King Ner'zhul was created by the blood of Osiris, the King of Despair. This What does it mean? This means that whether it is Kel'Thuzad or Ner'zhul, these lichs are naturally controlled by Osiris, the King of Despair!
Arthas was right about this. In fact, as long as Luo Yin is willing, the Lich King Ner'zhul transformed from his demon blood can be easily controlled by Luo Yin. The lich is a frost demon after all. A creature of blood, Luo Yin was his creator to Ner'zhul.
"The historical documents of Dalaran once recorded the descriptions of the commanders of the Burning Legion by the high elves..." Kel'Thuzad said: "There are three commanders of the Burning Legion, namely Archimonde the Defiler, the King of Evil. The Lord of Fire - Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, and the King of Despair - Osiris the Destroyer. However, except for Archimonde and Kil'jaeden who led the Burning Legion to fight all year round, there are few records of Osiris. His whereabouts are very mysterious. Except for seeing him at certain points in time, he has never appeared at other times. Therefore, most people only know about Archimonde and Kil'jaeden... Unexpectedly, he is burning now. The Legion invaded again, and he actually appeared again.”
Kel'Thuzad said this not only to Alsace, but also to Julie and Bainiya. After saying this, Kel'Thuzad asked: "As I said bluntly, Lord Julie, please pay homage to me." Lord Nia, this time the Burning Legion invades again, the leader is Lord Archimonde, and even Lord Kil'jaeden has acquiesced to his leadership, why did Lord Osiris suddenly send you as a supervisor?"
"It's very simple, because Lord Osiris feels that Archimonde alone may not be able to handle it..." Bainiya said with twinkling eyes: "So Osiris is also trying to come to this planet. As for what he wants to do after he comes. , it’s not something you can ask about, Lich!”
Juliel also threw the Book of Medivh in her hand to Kel'Thuzad and said: "Now you have only one choice, and that is to obediently do what led to Archimonde's arrival, and do it again, so that Osiris can also do it. Come into this world.”
"Damn it, you're all already in this world, why don't you lead the coming of Osiris yourself!?" Arthas said a little annoyed: "The coming of Archimonde has taken away our command of the Scourge. The coming of Osiris What will he do next? Will we become his slaves completely?"
"Watch your tone, Death Knight!" Julie and Bainiya stared at Arthas with cold eyes and said, "We know you are unwilling now, but Osiris is not Archimonde. , he has no interest in the Scourge Legion composed of you dead people. Lord Osiris has played this kind of legion game in other worlds... He will definitely give you what he promised you, as long as you behave Just carry out the agreement... As for why you are required to welcome his arrival, you ask Kel'Thuzad!"
Arthas turned to look at Kel'Thuzad, who nodded and said, "The so-called 'lost spell' in the Book of Medivh was actually written by Sargeras, the commander-in-chief of the Burning Legion, when he possessed Medivh. Down, you should have heard about this, about the fall of Guardian Medivh... especially the part in the book about attracting the arrival of powerful demons. That was a back-up tool developed by Sargeras and needed Azeroth. The world's native creatures serve as guides, so that certain defense mechanisms can be bypassed... "
"So, although these two demons are here, they can't bring the King of Despair to come, right?" Arthas understood. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, we will do what you said. But... Archimonde seems to be destroying Dalaran, and without Dalaran’s magic nodes as energy sources, the ritual may not be completed.”
"Of course we know this, but isn't there another better place?" Julie and Bainiya said with a smile.
Kel'Thuzad also reacted: "Silvermoon City, Sunwell?"
"Yes, that's right there. Although that place is contaminated by the magic of death, it doesn't matter. It can also be used as an energy source!" Julie said.
"Okay, let's set off. Anyway, we have nothing now..." Alsace said expressionlessly.
