5. The Lich King
Aiden is right, the nobles of the alliance are all among the best warriors in their ancestors. They were all famous generals on the battlefield during www.biquge.info the expansion of the empire and in the divided era after that, which would be the nobles they were given land because of their military exploits. Even if it has been inherited for thousands of years, the nobles of today's kingdom are also powerful warriors in large areas, after all, this era still belongs to the era of swords, and without strong martial arts, there is no way to survive in this world.
But that doesn't mean that a child can fight a beast.
Aiden's idea is very simple, a nine-year-old child has a yearning for powerful forces, and at this time, he only needs to use words to induce, and it is too normal for him to make a risk or something. After all, a nine-year-old child's body is so weak that even a little effort will cause him to break his tendons and become a cripple.
Yes, Aiden didn't want Arthas to die, and he wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of the Alliance. However, if the prince hurts himself because of playfulness, although the injury is more serious, but a waste who has lost the meaning of the heir is still not worth letting the alliance turn against himself at this juncture.
As for after? Hehe, as long as this section is delayed, Aiden will be well prepared, and at that time...... Coalition? I'm just a plaything under the hands of Lord Doomhammer, and I, Aiden Pirenod, will be the hero of the emerging kingdom, and at that time, what Lordaeron, what Tyrenus, won't be a slave wailing at my feet? If you want to frame me, Pirenod, you will have to pay the price!
Looking at Arthas, who was bouncing around in front of him, Aiden smiled maliciously in his heart, and he had already begun to look forward to the sight of the child bleeding and lying on the ground like a tattered rag. The thrill of breaking the delicate porcelain had always fascinated Aiden, whether it was Arthas in front of him, or the shepherdess he had been, or anyone else, and Aiden couldn't wait to enjoy the taste of blood and pain.
“…… The smell of resentment and curse is so strong, it seems that Aiden, you are really as I thought, a good material for the Scourge Legion. ”
However, the words suddenly came from Aiden to froze in place, and when he looked up, Arthas, who should have been stupidly caught in the trap, was turning his head and looking at him with a sneer.
A child's sneer actually doesn't have much deterrent power, and the big sky can only call it weird, however, even such a non-deterrent smile makes the fear in Aiden's heart rise, and this brutal and bloodthirsty guy actually staggered back a few steps.
"And this place is good, although it is open, but it is closed, so I don't have to worry about being seen." Arthas stretched, as if to say what to eat tonight, and thanked Aiden, "If you hadn't prepared such a closed place, I wouldn't be able to use it." ”
Miscellaneous......
Aiden subconsciously drew his weapon and wanted to make a move, but Arthas only smiled slightly, and his strong body lost consciousness, and a feeling like frostbite spread rapidly upwards from his sword-holding hand, taking away all his strength in an instant.
"Fear is the best nourishment for the Scourge Legion, my dear Uncle Aiden," Arthas smiled as he walked over to Aiden, and behind him, countless ghosts rose from the ground, each of them looking as if they were alive, but all gray and white, looking directly at Aiden, without saying anything, "And the souls you supplied with your own hands...... It's a pity that the level is too rough, and these dull souls are probably just one-time tools. ”
Then, Arthas tilted his head, and a cold flame ignited in his originally clear blue eyes.
"But that's enough...... So, pay the price for your sins, Aiden Pirenod! ”

Arthas is the Lich King.
Although this identity is not what Arthas himself wants, it is only the legacy of his first tragic life. However, just as it was a completely irrational thing that he could be reborn, the powers that belonged to the Lich King—the power of runes, the power of frost, and necromancy—were also reborn with him. However, because the young and immature body cannot withstand the powerful power belonging to the Lich King, these powerful forces will be reborn without knowing where to disperse, leaving only past experience and knowledge.
This is also the reason why a "Scholar" appears in his stat bar. Because when it comes to the knowledge of necromancy and energy sculpting, even the current Kel'thugad and Neozu himself, who has not yet become the Lich King, are not as knowledgeable as Arthas is now. And the experience outside of this is even more vast, I don't know how many, just to be a scholar, to be honest, it is a big loss.
Although it may be difficult to translate theory into strength, it is still enough to deal with one Aiden. As Arthas himself said, fear is the best material for necromancy, and the more Aiden fears the erosion of the soul and body in front of him, the stronger this soul and erosion becomes, and finally overwhelms the balance of power, turning Aiden into Arthas's first servant of death.
At the same time, because of the outbreak of necromancy, Arthas also felt that his body seemed to have undergone some transformation as a result, not undead, but like the first life, to a special state between life and death. And this state will give him the most powerful human body, making him a strong man who can fight against the demons in the void.
But Arthas immediately activated the power of the Book of Light and reversed the transformation. The reason is very simple, the fact that he died so miserably in the first life has actually proved that this path is not correct, even if it is the path that he and Naozu have spent several years studying, but a mistake is a mistake, there is no need to lose one's soul for the sake of momentary power, this is the most important experience that Arthas summed up in that tragic life.
"Then my dear servant, Count Aiden," Arthas asked, looking at Aiden, who had become an undead knight, and asked playfully, "how do you feel now?" ”
"Very nice, my host, I felt like I had never been like this...... Powerful. Aiden said with a strange expression, "Moreover, I seem to have abandoned some of the burdensome emotions, and I feel that my current self does not seem to know what anger is and what shame is, and only your orders are the only things I care about." ”
"Then I'll give you my orders," Arthas said, "hide yourselves and head to Northrend, where I need you to build a stronghold for me, a secret stronghold that won't be discovered by the Guardian Dragons, Orcs, and the Alliance." Will you be able to do it? ”
"It's difficult, my master, but your orders are not to be disobeyed."
For an absolutely impossible order, Aiden left. Arthas closed his eyes, feeling the soul mark belonging to Aiden, and couldn't help but have a nostalgic expression on his face.
Aiden's current appearance is exactly the same as when he first became a Death Knight. However, Arthas doesn't have a rune sword for Aiden, and he can't even let Aiden exert the power that belongs to the death knight, except that his physique has become stronger, and he will not die because of the vital attack, the current strength of Aiden is probably not as strong as when he was alive before.
But so what? Anyway, Aiden still wants to hurt him, how about love, what Alsace cares about now is not Northrend in the north.
Patting himself on the face, Arthas suddenly rolled on the ground, rubbed his head again, made himself dirty and miserable, and staggered towards the way he came.
"Save ...... Help me! Aiden! Uncle Aiden, he ...... He's dead! ”

In the 6th year of Black Gate, just when the Alliance and the Horde were fighting against the Alterac Mountains, a major event suddenly happened. King Aiden of the Alterac Kingdom was found to be studying forbidden necromancy and imprisoning souls, seemingly with a plan. However, the plot was broken by the Prince of Arthas, and the evil Aiden tried to assassinate the Prince of Arthas, but was stopped by the mercenary captain Jorazi Ravenhod.
After the plot failed, Aiden quietly disappeared, and no one knew where he went. As a result, Aiden Pirenod and the entire Pirenod family were stripped of their nobility and wanted for blasphemy, desecration of souls, study of necromancy, and conspiracy to subvert the Alliance. The mercenary captain Joraci Ravenhod, who rescued the Prince of Arthas that day, was made an earl and took over the territory of the Eastern Alterac Kingdom, including Steinbrad.
As for the territory in the west, it was given to the magical city of Dalaran and the kingdom of Lordaeron. As the main contributor to the crisis, the Prince of Alsace will serve as the interim administrator of the region. Prince Varian of the Kingdom of Azeroth marched into the Alterac Mountains with an avenging army of remnants to make up for the empty defenses due to Aiden's betrayal.
At the same time, Orgrim Doomhammer, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, finally launched an attack, and their target was naturally the kingdom of Alterac that had fallen into chaos due to turmoil.
On the second day of Aiden's disappearance, an army of 100,000 orcs marched towards Talummere, and in only half a day, they had wiped out Talummere's garrison. Immediately, the orcs cut down trees and began to assemble large construction machinery, and a large number of ogres gathered at the bottom of the hillside, and began to dig the rock with huge mallets that were thicker than ordinary humans, apparently in order to pave the way and use large machinery to prepare for the attack on the Alterac Pass.
Unlike the smuggling of "history", today's assault obviously takes a lot of time and strength, and Orgrim is clearly not willing to let his plans die there. On the third day of his waiting in Talenmere, Ayden Pirenod's son, Oriden Pirenod, rebelled, and with the help of the Syndicate, he captured the mountain pass fortress of Alterac with the help of the Syndicate. Then, Orriden turned to the Horde with great fanfare, and Orgrim led three thousand wolf cavalry into the fortress with lightning speed before the Alliance could react, completely ruining the possibility of the Alliance retaking the fortress.
So, in less than a week, the previous confrontation between the alliance and the tribe was finally broken, and the tribe that was ready to attack and the alliance that licked its wounds once again launched a new round of collision.
And this time, Arthas is no longer just waiting for news from the front line in the houses of the royal capital with Lordaeron.
Because now he is the commander of the Alterac Line, the commander at the forefront of the battlefield, and at the same time, he is also the first enemy Orgrim to defeat.
