Chapter 78: Purifying Stratholme
Stratholme, a place in Azeroth's history that deserves a special mention, is a turning point in the fate of one of Azeroth's protagonists. Although it is now a dead city, it can still be faintly seen from the magnificent buildings that still exist
Feel the prosperity of Stratholme.
This prosperity was completely destroyed overnight by one man, Arceth Minehir, the former prince of Lordaeron and the current Lich King, in Azeroth, he was a figure of both good and evil, and he did not hesitate to slaughter entire cities in order to save the people of his homeland
After defeating the Dreadlord Melganis, he traveled to Northrend to hunt him down, but was robbed of his mind by Frostmourn, and finally merged with the first Lich King Neozu (I personally thought it was taken away by Neozu) and became the second Lich King.
"I guess I guessed what you want me to do, can you explain?" Wu Ming was standing alone in a forest, and there was no one else around, Wu Ming because Nozdorm said that this task could be completed by Wu Ming alone, and Wu Ming had also taken it before
Eve stayed there to complete the mission of assassinating Baron Rivendell, while Wu Ming handled the mission of Nozdorm.
"Because of the interference of the Henglong Legion before, there are not many people under Arceth who will go with him to slaughter the city now, and it is very likely that Arceth will die at the hands of Melganis." Nozdorm explained slowly, "And there's a good chance that the Henglong Legion will come out and interfere. ”
"So you want me to be Arceus's bodyguard?"
"I've set your identity as a hired mage among the Lordaeron soldiers." Nozdorm reminded, "Also, don't tell Sù about the future of Arceth, or the future of Azeroth will be chaotic." ”
"I know, you should know mine, since it was his own choice, I won't interfere." Wu Ming waved his hand, "As long as it wasn't for Mzdono's personal action, I can guarantee that no one will be able to kill Arces." ”
"You can rest assured that if another me shows up, I'll do it too." Nozdorm assured, "In 10 seconds the time barrier will be lifted, and you'll be ready to go to Arceth." ”
By the time Wu Ming arrived at Arceth, Arcés had already quarreled with Uther. Uther left because she disagreed with Arceth's approach, and Gianna followed Uther.
"It seems that none of the legendary characters can be underestimated." Wu Ming muttered to himself in a low voice, just after close contact with Guò, he had already determined that Gianna's combat power was probably at the peak of the national level, stronger than Eve, and Uther was even more exaggerated, just the saint in his body
The energy of light has reached the limit of the national level, and if you add his combat experience, it is estimated that even a world-class junior person can also have the power to fight.
"Anyone who wants to save the city, follow me." Arceth, with an order, walked into Stratholme with dozens of soldiers and less than ten mages, including Wu Ming, it seems that Nozdom is right, now go with Artes to slaughter the city's people
It's really not much, and if I don't have my help, I'm afraid that the people who haven't seen Melganis Arces will die.
"Great, Prince Arceth, you're finally here. A lot of people here are infected with the plague, please save us. "A citizen of Stratholme saw Arceth entering the city with dozens of men, and thought that Arceth had come to save them, but he didn't know anything about it
Erseth is not here to be a doctor, but an executioner.
Arceth slowly walked up to the citizen, and the citizen saluted respectfully, at which point Arces simply raised the hammer in his hand that he had sworn to protect his people, and swung it down at a speed that no ordinary person could react to
The head was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"All I can do is let you die without pain, that's the only thing I can do." Looking at the corpse of the citizen, Arces seemed to be muttering to himself.
"Ahh
"Don't!!"
Now Stratholme's screams are coming and going, the previous plague has put the spirits of the citizens here in a high state of tension, and now he has witnessed the only possible salvation of the prince raise the butcher's knife against himself, and the original reason has been completely erased at once
, only the desire to survive is driven by the idea of running away.
"Welcome, Prince Arceth." An eerie voice came, and Arceth immediately clenched the hammer.
"Melganis." Arces gritted his teeth and shouted out almost every syllable.
"It's a pity that you're a step too late, and the preparations of our Scourge Legion have been completed." Melganis raised his right hand (claw?) A spell was activated, and the citizens of Stratholme, infected with the plague, immediately groaned in pain on the ground, and it didn't take long for it to take its time
They stood up, and their eyes were lifeless.
"Melganis, even if I kill them all, I won't let them become the minions of the Scourge Legion!!" Seeing this scene, Arceus was already on the verge of exploding.
"Alright then, young prince, let me see who is faster between us." Melganis activated his teleportation technique as he spoke, returning to the Scourge Legion's base camp. Now that the slaughter race has begun, it is Alces who takes Stratholme first
The slaughter of the citizens was still the first step by Melganis to become the minions of the Scourge Legion.
"I need someone who is skilled in swordsmanship or magic to clean up the city." After Melganis left, Arces suppressed his anger a little, "You go to King's Square to suppress the citizens, you go to the festival alley to clean up the undead, and the rest follow me to the city."
Government Hall. Although Arces is not very experienced as a leader, his determination is enough to put many commanders who have been fighting on the front line for many years to shame, although he has just encountered a common enemy, but it does not prevent him from making the correct arrangement of real-time tactics.
"You're a hired mage, aren't you?" Now the hired soldiers and mages all followed Uther when Uther left, and the remaining hired mage was only Wu Ming, "Sorry, maybe you won't be able to get paid." ”
"Money? It doesn't matter anymore, I still have enough money to spend anyway. Wu Ming said with a smile,
"Why aren't you a little nervous now?" Arceth keenly noticed the difference between Wu Ming and the others, when facing the Scourge, no matter who it was, including himself, there would be some nervousness, but Wu Ming's face could not be seen at all
Nervous look, "What's your name?" ”
"Me? It's just a mage, my name is Wu Ming, and as for why I'm not nervous, you'll find out soon. Wu Ming replied.
"Alright, let's go to the town hall first, there should be a lot of undead entrenched there." Seeing Wu Ming's confident expression, Arces couldn't say anything.
"No, Your Majesty, let's wait for now." Wu Ming suddenly stopped Arces, "Didn't I say that? I'll let you know why I'm not nervous at all. ”
"Huh?" Arces also stopped, "Hurry up then, we don't have much time." Although Arceth wanted to get rid of the undead as soon as possible, he was curious why Wu Ming was not afraid of the Scourge.
"Rain of Flames, Blizzard!" Wu Ming only said a few words, and a large number of large blocks of ice and huge fireballs suddenly fell from the sky, covering the entire King's Square where there were no Lordaeron soldiers, and within a few seconds, all the undead in the attack range had been wiped out
Finish.
"Are you a mage or a warlock?" Arceth was amazed at the power of this technique, but he was even more surprised that Wu Ming could use the magic of a mage and a warlock at the same time, which he had never heard of. But now he understood why Wu Ming was not afraid of the Scourge Army
The regiment, the power of the technique just now can not be defeated even against Uther.
"It's a bit of both, and I'm kind of a hybrid profession right now." Wu Ming replied, "Your Majesty, now that there are not many undead in my attack on King's Square, it is estimated that your soldiers will be dealt with soon, and we will go directly to the festival alley to help, and wait for us to clean it up."
The undead of Festive Alley are ready to join the people of King's Square to attack the town hall. ”
