Chapter 84: Contradictions
Fame and means can indeed help achieve some goals that are beyond your strength, but they are not your own power after all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In private, Arugao also fantasized about breaking through the upper limit of his own strength, and he has been studying an evil magic classic obtained in his early years, which is described as being able to summon the wolf god Wolgen of the Demon Realm and transform werewolves with its power, which can allow him to master the combat power of an elite legion!
It can be said that even if there is no Ling Qi, even if there is no temptation from Kel'thugad, sooner or later this master will go astray in the eyes of ordinary people, and all he lacks is an opportunity.
Arugao has never been a strong-willed person, which has led to his research on summoning Wolgan also entering a bottleneck ahead of schedule due to the lack of ability and materials, just like his personal strength.
Becoming a lich was not what he wanted, but it also allowed him to see new opportunities, and the improvement of his strength would bring many new changes.
In all fairness, legendary-level power, this may not be what Arugao thinks. It's just that he wants too much, which means that even if some being fulfills his wishes, it will definitely not be his gratitude in return.
But so what?
The existence that can fulfill his wishes doesn't care about what he thinks in his heart at all!
Under Ling Qi's command, there are quite a few regular legions, and the Skeleton Legion has the largest number, which is mainly in charge of the Lady of the Dead Whisperer, which is a standing military force and quasi-cannon fodder.
The outer legions are in charge of their respective leaders, like the Yakmen, Amani Trolls, Nirubs, etc., which are real cannon fodder and seeds of potential for other legions.
One of the leaders of the emerging Cryptlord Legion, consisting mainly of Crypt Lords, ghouls, and acolytes, is none other than Arugao, a new legendary lich.
Since it is still a new legion, this legion does not have an accurate positioning, it does not belong to the bone cannon fodder, does not belong to the main force of the abomination corpse demon, does not belong to the core of the frost dragon death rider, and does not belong to the blue dragon and elemental giants, which are the supporters of Ling Qi.
Even the structure of the legion itself is more deformed, with the acolytes composed of low-level lichs acting more like overseers, reporting directly to the chain of command of Naxxramas. Ghouls are low-level necromantic creatures, with occasional exceptions of elite and even warrior levels, but they are essentially slaves and coolies in the human world, and now they have become the main force of the Crypt Lord Legion, led by a ghoul at the level of a lord. There are also Crypt Lords, these monsters resurrected from the corpses of spider demons, which are powerful, but the number is too small. This part is mainly led by Arugao, who is also the nominal head of the Crypt Lords' Legion, but now he is in name only - the general has no soldiers, and no one listens.
The Great Lich Arugor was not worried about the plight faced by the Crypt Lord Legion or himself, he believed that this legion would be the most powerful of the Scourge Legion in the future, because when he saw the Nerub army before, it was as if he had seen countless Crypt Lords!
Arugao was not originally the person in charge of the final work on the battlefield, after all, he was also the commander of one side, but he took the initiative to ask for more work and more rewards.
Ling Qi saw through Arugao's ambition and was very satisfied with his self-motivation, so he handed over the handling of the post-war spoils on the tribal side to Arugao to be responsible!
Anubarak angrily tore a corpse in front of him to shreds. The owner of the corpse is not the top leader of the orc legion, but he is also one of the main generals, a top hero. If he were alive, he might not lose to the king of the Nirub people alone!
Ling Qi's order to Anubarak was to wipe out the enemy, as long as it could completely wipe out the advance army of the tribe, Ling Qi didn't mind it taking the enemy's corpse to vent his anger, although it was all high-quality materials, but Ling Qi was a generous lord after all.
To summon a death knight, both the corpse and the soul are indispensable, among which the soul is more important than the corpse, and whether the corpse is complete or not is related to the additional dark power to be consumed during the transformation process, as well as the physical strength of the final death knight.
The Death Knight is a magic knight, whose strength is composed of both physical and dark powers, which is different from warriors and mages, but very similar to paladins.
A perfect death rider is not only necessary to master the powerful dark power, but also a strong body.
It's just that Ling Qi knows how to weigh better, he has long expected the heavy losses of the Nilubu, excessive pressure can only make them completely rebel, although it will not be put in someone's eyes either, but why bother looking for trouble.
Besides, he also knew that it was impossible to obtain the top-level materials of Sarufar in this war, and in addition to Sarufar, only Garosh had reached the legendary stage and fled!
The rest of the hero's corpses, if they were replaced by Nao Zu, would be rare and abnormal, but for Ling Qi, it was not even worth his extra orders.
When Arugao stepped on the pretentious steps and came to Anubarak, he saw the scene of the spider demon king smashing his corpse to vent his anger.
The lich pursed his lips, and seemed to still retain some of the manners of the nobility.
"Ahhh Isn't this His Majesty Anubarak... How could you do such a dishonorable thing... Waste such a good corpse!"
Arugao's slightly teasing words were based on the fact that the relationship between the two parties was not close, which made the spider demon turn his head coldly, and a cold light flashed in his compound eyes.
Arugao has no fear, not only because of his own higher power, but also because of his identity.
Although the Crypt Lord Legion has not yet been built, there are only two or three large and small cats, and there are countless internal problems on the sidelines, but it is also a descendant of the Scourge Legion, and it is the orthodox legion leader, theoretically at the same level as the Lady of the Dead.
And the Nilubu people are clearly the peripheral forces, cannon fodder, and consumables of the Scourge Legion.
Even due to years of hatred, the Nirub people have gained far more cold eyes and cold receptions than other peripheral forces after joining the Scourge!
Anubarak even suspected that this time the Nirubs were sent to the battlefield to gnaw on the stinky bone of the Horde's advance army, because of their previous stubborn resistance to the Scourge Legion, which was naked revenge!
Ling Qi didn't particularly target anything, whether it was spider demons, yak people, or even other peripheral forces, or even the Cataclysm Legion, except for an extremely demigod-level existence, the rest were ants and chess pieces in his eyes.
When a chess player puts a piece on the board, he obviously does not consider the feeling of the piece, but only whether it is worth it or not.
With the Nirub people eating and redeeming the tribal advance army, it is not a loss, it should be said that it is just right, and it can also properly replenish the strength of the Crypt Lord Legion.
This indifference was clearly misunderstood by Arugao and most of them, although the outcome would not have been any different.
"Hmph, lich, shut your foul mouth!"
"I remember you! The one who desecrated the corpses of our people!
"For the Lich King's sake, take back your words, and I won't die around you!"
With Anubarak's threat, the surrounding tired spider demons Si Si Suso surrounded Arugao.
Arugao's face was expressionless, in fact, he was shocked, he didn't expect the Nilubu people to dare to turn their faces, he underestimated the depression and anger in the Nilubu people's hearts.
The lich took a step back slightly, applied a magic spell to himself to protect against ranged strikes, and immediately sneered and said:
"Nirub, watch your tone! The Lich King has given your dead a new lease of life, and you don't think it's a gift for me to lead them on the war!"
As Arugao's voice simulated by magic oscillations was flat, a dragon's groan resounded in the sky, as if in response.
I saw a two-legged wyvern wrapped in ice and snow fall from the sky and land beside Arugao with a bang, and the cold wind that rolled up made even the spider demon warriors who surrounded him couldn't help but retreat.
Ling Qi has an integrated army of frost dragons, but only a few of his subordinates, apart from himself, are qualified to ride the frost dragons!
Arugao's status is not too low, and his strength is okay, but it still does not meet this standard, so on the day he became the commander of the legion, he was rewarded with a newly reborn Ice Wyvern.
Xiao is like this, an icy two-legged wyvern, still enough for him to not fear a normal level of siege.
Northrend is not only with dragon bones, but also with other wurm bones, and there are not many of them.
Air Fortress Naxxramas is conducting related research, in addition to improving the Scourge Plague, there are also related technologies for "resurrecting" subdragons!
Reviving corpses is not as simple as people think, a magic can be used in a variety of ways, and dry bones can be reborn with a wave of the hand, which involves many fields.
The most important thing in the resurrection of the dead is to rekindle the fire of the soul, and this alone disqualifies ninety percent of corpses from resurrection.
Spiritism allows corpses that have been dead for no more than thirty years to trace back to the location of their souls, especially dragons, whose souls do not dissipate easily, and are all concentrated in a unique world. Through the bones, the dragon soul is easier to lock than the mortal soul, and the dragon soul that leaves the main material plane within a thousand years can be forcibly recalled, but it takes a lot of power to resurrect them, unless they have become spirit dragons and ghost dragons!
The souls of other sub-dragons are even more difficult to lock down than mortals, not in a fixed undead world, any undead world can appear, and the strength is not particularly exaggerated, only slightly better than ordinary beasts.
This is also a matter of course, if any dragon can be resurrected like a dragon, then it is obvious that the wurmmon with a larger base in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom are more suitable for forming a legion and a more suitable for serving as a mount for the Death Knight, but no one has ever done that.
It was the first time Anubarak had seen the Ice Wyvern, which was more than seven meters long and at least a third smaller than the dragon, and it was a wake-up call that the burning anger was gradually extinguished.
"Hmph! I've never been disobedient to the Lich King, Lich, don't try to sow discord!"
Anubarak hated to stomp the orc's head at his feet, and the spikes on its eight hairy legs resembled steel knives that could easily crush stones.
