What is the purpose of the Lich King Arthas' so-called purification of the world
The problem of the female necromancer Fenseni Aesolos was once a matter of concern to Yalin. In the original "World of Warcraft", the Lich King Arthas and the Deathwing Neltharion both tried to destroy the world in the game. villains, but the real reason why they destroyed the world is somewhat intriguing.
If Deathwing Neltharion wants to destroy the world because he was tempted by the Old Gods and went crazy, then the Lich King Arthas ~ or strictly speaking, the orc shaman Ner'zhul wants to destroy the world. What is the picture again
wealth? What do the dead want wealth for, buy themselves a coffin
right? The idea of having the right to rule over a group of dead people who are like puppets is no fun.
glory? This thing is too ethereal for the undead.
Rebuild the world? A world made of skeletons and dead people, a world that does not move forward is essentially the same as being dead.
After many speculations, Yalin once asked Alsace about his reason for purifying the world, and the answer he got was to resist the Burning Legion. Of course, this resistance was definitely not a good thing like helping Azeroth resist the evil invasion. , but the Lich King hopes to completely break away from the shackles of the Burning Legion and no longer be enslaved by it.
The Scourge was originally a vanguard legion created by the Burning Legion to attack the continent of Azeroth, and Ner'zhul was forced to assume the position of the Lich King. After the Burning Legion completely entered the continent of Azeroth, the Scourge Legion also enjoyed the treatment of being relegated to the second-line army. It is more appropriate to describe it as "killing the donkey". Ner'zhul, who served for the Burning Legion, was naturally dissatisfied.
After Archimonde, one of the Burning Legion's second-in-commands, was eliminated at the Battle of Mount Helga, Ner'zhul signaled Arthas to betray the Burning Legion while the Burning Legion was leaderless. This act of betrayal was naturally influenced by the second-in-command of the Burning Legion. Kil'jaeden, one of the leaders, gave him a severe punishment. Later, Illidan had to follow Kil'jaeden's orders to steal the Eye of Sargeras and try to destroy the Glacier Crown with an earthquake. But in the final decisive battle, Alsace was superior and won.
The plot of the game has been written here, but although it has temporarily become independent from the control of the Burning Legion, it does not mean that the Lich King can sit back and relax. Don't look at the players in the game casually beating the heads of the Burning Legion. Man, but players may not have thought carefully about what kind of existence the Burning Legion is!
The Dark Titan who rebelled from the Creator established a legion to destroy everything. Before coming to Azeroth, the Burning Legion had destroyed many worlds. The Burning Legion was even the true founder of the Scourge. If such a powerful legion completely enters the world of Azeroth, it can be said that it can sweep everything in an instant. The first time the Burning Legion was cleared out was the night elves detonating the Well of Eternity, and the second time it was Malfurion who did not hesitate to explode. If there is a third time to destroy the World Tree, what else can be sacrificed then
Obviously, the betrayal of such a terrifying behemoth naturally made the Lich King sit on pins and needles. Ner'zhul, who had been tortured by the Burning Legion, naturally knew very well that if he was caught by the Burning Legion this time, he would probably die happily. What a luxury. To resist the enemy, you naturally need a powerful army, and the soldiers of the Undead Scourge come from many living people in the continent of Azeroth. In order to expand the Scourge, it is natural to launch wars everywhere to conquer cities and land, so that more living people can become A member of the dead. Until the Scourge has grown enough to compete with the Burning Legion, this is the main reason why the Lich King continues to invade the continent of Azeroth.
Although this answer is a bit unexpected, Yalin can understand it. Except for madmen, no big villain will destroy the world just to destroy it. Who wants to live alone in a desolate world!
After coming to this new world, the Lich King was still worried about this happening. Although Yalin said that this was a completely new world and had nothing to do with the original continent of Azeroth where Arthas was located. But Arthas believes that the so-called new world is just one that the Burning Legion has not yet set foot on. Since the Draenei can take a spaceship from their world of Argus to Azeroth, who can be sure that this other world is real? It is completely isolated from the infinite universe where the Burning Legion lives.
Because of the space travel setting in "World of Warcraft", Yalin was unable to convince Arthas. But he can't tell him that in fact, all the big guys in the Burning Legion, Archimonde, Kil'jaeden and even Sargeras, can be summoned in the summoning system he owns. Yalin had no choice but to let Arthas continue to carry out his so-called great cause of 'purifying' the world.
Although this world has not been threatened by the Burning Legion for a long time, Arthas also understood when he saw the power of the gods belonging to this world, especially when Uznok, the God of Earth, had torn apart the earth and swallowed up the Scourge. One thing is that before he and his Scourge Legion face the Burning Legion, there are still too many things in this world that need to be surpassed.
The purpose of purifying the world is naturally ┉┉
"┉┉ Clear away all those who stand in the way. Establish a new order centered on the Scourge!" Alsace also gave an answer to the question given by the female necromancer.
Fenseni was silent for a moment: "Your Excellency Arthas, do you mean you want to rule the entire world?"
"That's right, female mage!"
"Sorry~ I'm really curious about you~" Fenseni bowed slightly and performed the etiquette of the undead and said: "I have existed on the Island of the Dead in Esolos for more than four hundred years. I can't understand why you Still so passionate about rights┉┉”
In the past, Alsace would never forgive such a person who dared to disobey him, but in a new world. Arthas was also interested in hearing how the native undead creatures in this world defined their own existence.
"Today we are just undead souls and dead people. Our bodies have decayed and fester. All the good things that the living can enjoy have nothing to do with us. In this case, even if we can control all the rights in the world, what's the point? ?”
The undead creature cannot feel the deliciousness of food, the warmth of a woman's body, the coolness of the breeze, or the blazing heat of the summer sun! It's like being thrown into a world of nothingness. In the end, even the emotions will be slowly lost as the soul is broken. The only thing that supports them is the most tenacious obsession in life!
The living are fighting for rights in order to enjoy all the beautiful things, but all this has nothing to do with the dead. The female necromancer does not understand why Arthas is so determined to rule the world.
"You are right~ Everything about the living has nothing to do with us, but┉┉"
Arthas punched the throne, and the breath of death was like boiling, making the undead in the entire hall restless: "The right I want to fight for is the right to continue to exist in this world. You have traveled a long way to come here, and I miss you." You should also know how the stupid people in this world view you as undead."
Fenseni was silent for a while, and every dead person knew their position clearly.
"┉┉You should also know that the living are afraid of us and do not want to admit our existence and regard us as filthy existences. The gods in the world also regard us as objects that must be eliminated. Are you willing to be ostracized like this? Hide in a dark corner and survive? What I have to do is to survive the threat from the gods!"
The soul fire in Ingham's pupils flickered: "┉┉ Is it possible for the dead to rule the living? We have died and no longer have life. The only thing that supports us is the last bit of obsession. This The rules of the world are not something we can contend with, and we will eventually die."
"If there is such a rule, then my Scourge Legion will break this rule and then make new rules~" Lich King Arthas clenched his fist tightly and said like an angry emperor: "My Scourge Legion needs to Continue to increase my strength, and I will let the mortals in the world and the high gods understand that no one can escape the disaster of death. One day, the natural disaster army will trample the world under its feet and let all the rules revolve around me. In the end, the natural disaster will The army will regroup into a new force until it surpasses and defeats the Burning Legion and those foolish creators!"
Burning Legion! ? Creator!
Ingham and Fensani both showed doubtful looks, and the necromancers following them also whispered. Everyone can understand the Creator, but what is the Burning Legion! ? For thousands of years, the undead in Esolos have never heard of the existence of this legion, and there is no relevant record in the documents left by the undead mentor. But from Arthas' tone, it seems that the so-called Burning Legion Or an existence that seems to be on par with the Creator, above the gods.
If an ordinary person said such a thing, everyone would just think that he just said an inexplicable crazy thing. But the undead with unimaginable power in front of him is by no means the kind of lunatic who can be trusted to open a river. Perhaps it is something that existed in the more ancient times of this world. If you think about it this way, doesn't it mean that this undead may be from ancient times? It exists to this day.
For a moment, Ingham didn't know how to answer. Let's not talk about the so-called Burning Legion and the Creator. Just from Alsace's arrogant words about trampling the gods under his feet, it can be seen that he is a A crazy and ambitious person!
"This road is really too difficult┉┉You can't do it┉┉" Lord Death sighed and finally said silently. (To be continued...)
