If the soul leader Lich Bellsmore Aesolos is the highest administrative decision-maker of the entire Island of the Dead, then the Death Lord Ingham Aesolos is the highest military decision-maker of the Island of the Dead.
In the long process of becoming an undead and transforming into a death lord, Ingham's entire body has been metalized by the aura of death. While it has excellent defense against physical damage, this metalized skeleton is also resistant to magic. Extremely resistant. Over the course of thousands of years, both Ingham's strength and agility have improved dramatically compared to when he was alive. The undead's tireless body allows Ingham to easily wear armor weighing hundreds of kilograms, and can Use one hand to wield heavy weapons that ordinary people need both hands to wield at will.
Both defense and attack are excellent. The Death Lord is a killing machine on the battlefield, and the weapons held by the Death Lord will be filled with a powerful curse. The moment it kills a living person, it can kill the living. The soul is absorbed and imprisoned in his body. The more souls he imprisons, the more powerful the Death Lord becomes. In addition, the Death Lord also has another characteristic, which is the withering of life and the Commander of the Dead. Any living person who is close to the Death Lord will not simply be corroded by the powerful breath of death, and the Commander of the Dead allows the Death Lord to be quickly awakened and killed. People become undead creatures. Although these undead souls that wake up immediately cannot compare with the elite undead souls that have been screened and transformed by the necromancer, their continuous number allows the Death Lord to immediately gather an army around him.
Although the Island of the Dead in Aesolos is isolated from the world, it does not mean that Ingham has no chance to show off his skills. Ingham has also traveled to the mainland to complete some shady secret transactions with various countries on the mainland. At that time, Ingham had the opportunity to fight against the army of the secular kingdom. On one occasion, Ingham even single-handedly entered the lord's mansion in a territory of a certain country, and wiped out several miles of the lord's mansion with one ride. Hundreds of soldiers.
In addition to fighting ordinary armies. Sometimes when Esolos Island needs some rare 'materials', Ingham also fights with his subordinate dark knights to destroy many extremely dangerous monsters such as giant crocodiles, hydra snakes, and acid giant worms. The most recent mission happened decades ago. A necromancer traveling on the continent discovered a rare and powerful dragon lizard. In order to obtain the materials from this dragon lizard, he also wanted to learn about this legend. Ingham personally selected more than 30 dark knights and more than a dozen necromancers who came here to encircle and suppress the dragon lizard. Unfortunately, this siege was not successful. The dragon lizard fled into the Kingdom of Saxony in embarrassment after being injured by Ingham, while the undead lost six dark knights and three mages.
If it were a secular kingdom that could drive away a powerful dragon lizard with less than ten casualties, it would definitely be a victory worthy of bragging to neighboring countries. However, for Ingham, he failed to achieve such a loss. Grades, it's just a shame.
Whether he was alive or dead, Ingham had an impressive record, and his strength was enough to stand out among the heroes on the Isle of the Dead in Aesolos. However, today when he faced the undead man who called himself the Lich King. Ingham found that his previous understanding of the world structure was too small.
On the throne┉┉
Lich King Arthas was leaning on the armrest, looking at Ingham and others as they entered the hall with eyes that seemed to penetrate everything. The moment he was watched by Alsace, Ingham, an undead soul who had long since died and had forgotten the so-called temperature, inadvertently felt the coldness in his heart.
Karsus bowed slightly at this moment: "Your Majesty the Lich King, our visitor has arrived."
After receiving the beheading signal from Alsace, Karsus slowly floated to the right side of the throne and stood with his head held high like a returning minister. At this time, Ingham also noticed that there were two death knights standing under the throne of Alsace. Compared with the death knights seen outside, the power of the two people was undoubtedly more powerful, especially one of them with armor. The death knight with the identity badge of the Sea Blue Knight is actually more powerful than any of the dark knights under his command.
An aquamarine knight was actually transformed into an undead. He was a powerful warrior that surpassed the Grand Knight Commander. In a country, they usually have the important task of uniting the army.
Sanlvald was also observing Ingelham. Sanlvard, who was wearing a helmet like Ganelon, was not recognized by Ingelham. Perhaps even when Ingham walked up to Sanlvald, he still couldn't recognize the undead man in front of him who was originally just a dark warrior on the Isle of the Dead in Esolos. After becoming the first loyal follower of Arthas, , during the days of fighting against Alsace, Sanlvald received a lot of death breaths to hone his blade, especially as a blessing in disguise, he got the commander of the death knights of Alsace. After taking office, Arthas used Frostmourne to personally transform Sanlvald again, and this transformation allowed Sanlvald to directly cross the level and become an undead at the level of the Dark Knight. Moreover, he is a high-level dark knight, and with the many special abilities belonging to the death knight, Sanlvard can even deal with four to five middle- and low-level dark knights at the same time in terms of combat power.
With every step forward, Ingham could feel the power of Alsace, and the Necromancer behind him could not help but tense up and stare at the terrifying figure on the throne. If the death on Ingham was The breath is like an unknown black tide that brings black disaster, so the death breath on Alsace in front of him should be as terrifying as a black hole that wants to swallow everything.
It simply gave people a gesture that seemed to be the embodiment of death. It's not even possible to feel the extent of his strength.
"As the master of the Scourge, I would like to say welcome to all of you, followers of death from the Isle of the Dead in Esolos."
Alsace's deep and deep voice echoed in the hall, and the souls flying in the air suddenly dissipated as if they had encountered the most terrifying thing: "But before that, I need to confirm your identity┉┉Tell me , are you my enemy or my friend."
Ingham performed a ritual belonging to the undead: "Of course I am your friend, the powerful undead. I am Ingham Aesolos. These are compatriots who came with me and have the same beliefs. No matter when we are alive, We are enemies or friends, but as the dead now, we are the most unfamiliar compatriots."
"The strangest compatriot┉┉hahaha!"
Arthas laughed when he heard these words. For a moment, Arthas nodded slightly and said: "I am the Lich King Arthas, the ruler of the Undead Scourge Legion who came here to purify this ugly world. So tell me your story. Come, my strangest compatriot."
Purify this world!
Ingham already knew that these undead were attacking the countries belonging to the Western Holy Capital. Although they were now repelled by the Holy Capital, these undead initially achieved considerable results in the war and even captured the city. A city and annihilated all the 140,000 troops that the Ballayka Kingdom Army came to support. In the end, most of the Kingdom Army became the source of new recruits for this undead army.
The powerful undead named Arthas in front of him was obviously awakened by hatred. I don’t know what kind of things he experienced during his lifetime that made him hate the world extremely. The so-called purification can actually be understood as destruction. To this Undead who kill with hatred have not been uncommon on the Island of the Dead in Esolos for thousands of years.
It's just that these undead souls with hatred and resentment either rested in peace after fulfilling their wish for revenge, or they were punished and truly returned to death. After all, even if the undead souls are stronger than the living, they are not powerful enough to overwhelm everything. His hatred can only succumb to reality in the end, but the difference is that the undead named Arthas has the power in his hands that can actually threaten the world.
Ingham felt that if Arthas had originally walked out of the island of Aesolos, then he would have been surrounded by many undead souls who were equally cynical and cynical. Although in some respects, the grand ambition of purifying the entire world gives people an allure with an extreme sense of accomplishment, and it makes Ingelham's dormant fighting passion rise in his heart. However, Esolos Island of the Dead, which inherited the will of the undead mentor, essentially disapproved of this kind of thing.
What to do after destroying the entire world? Is it just a group of skeletons and dead people who cannot reproduce, standing in a daze in a world full of tombstones? Then as time goes by, when everyone exhausts their souls and returns to the sea of souls, then the world will We have truly entered a desolate world without life.
In the eyes of many undead creatures, destroying the world is never their original desire. Most of the undead who came to the Island of the Dead became undead for research, power, and to continue living and observe the world.
Not only Ingham, but also many necromancers who came with Ingham did not agree with Arthas' purification concept. In their view, this powerful undead commander must have lost his way on the wrong path. In fact, his hatred for the world during his lifetime still affects him after death. As a compatriot, it is his duty as an undead to save these lost compatriots and let them re-examine the situation and re-plan their position in the world.
"Your Excellency Arthas! I am Fenseni Aesolos. Please forgive me for asking a question. What is the purpose of purifying the entire world in your mind?"
In the undead team, a female necromancer came out and looked directly at Arthas and asked. (To be continued...)
