Chapter 869: Boiling Fire of Vengeance
The fierce battle was over, and the cursed black earth was devastated with the corpses of human beings with black, distorted faces, who had clearly experienced great pain and seemed to have no peace even for their souls after death.
Although he killed the orc Juggernaut with his own hands, the rescue operation undoubtedly failed.
Standing among the many dead, Arthas looked at his hands in a complicated way, the once omnipotent power of the Light, but unable to save the lives of these people, he did not fulfill his promise to Steinbrad, with unspeakable frustration and guilt, and even some hesitation about the Light of faith.
He couldn't forget the hopeful eyes those people looking at him!
He can't forget the promise he made to the little boy!
He couldn't forget that he was the hope of this kingdom!
However, the corpses all over the ground almost shattered his pride, and also made him deeply realize that his strength was not strong enough!
"I need more power to protect my kingdom and people!" Arthas murmured.
Young princes make the same mistakes that most young people make, and when things are out of their control, they tend to go to extremes, and they need to be patiently enlightened by experienced people, especially in the way of it.
Perhaps Uther was a great teacher of martial arts and faith, but he was too conservative to understand the mentality of young people.
Him and Tirio? When Fordin hurried in, he saw the slightly confused prince, and in the face of the burning fire of revenge in Arthas and the request to continue to track down the culprit, Uther took out the almost rigid dogma of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and in the face of the two highly decorated paladins, Arthas had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, everyone could feel Arthas's inner hesitation and dissatisfaction, and the fire of revenge was raging, and it was often not only the enemy who burned to death!
The scene suddenly cuts to the gloomy building, where Kel'thugad seems to be performing some kind of ritual, and after learning the outcome he wants, he receives instructions from the voice that guides him to become a necromancer, and a large number of cultists of the Cult of the Damned are assembled, and they are targeting the grain dispatch and storage center in the northern part of the kingdom of Lordaeron.
A vague and evil voice resounded in the gloomy building of the "Alsace ......".
Uther Jean Arthas and Tirio? While Ferdins was temporarily stationed in Stannbrad to rebuild the city's defenses, he returned to Lordaeron's palace with news of the mysterious curse, and Terenus II was at a loss for help, so he had to turn to the Kenrito Council of Dalaran, and Antonidas took this matter very seriously, and sent his proud disciple Gianna to lead a group of mages to Lordaeron to investigate the incident.
On the other hand, Arthas and Tirio? Fordin received a report that an unknown plague had suddenly begun to spread in the north of Stannbrad, affecting the stability of the northern border of the kingdom of Lordaeron. Fording sent troops to investigate, but was flatly refused.
The prince, eager to find out the truth and take revenge, can imagine his dissatisfaction with the stereotypical Knights of the Silver Hand.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for Arthas to wait for an order from the Council of Terenus and Kenrito to protect and assist a female mage in investigating the incident.
"No matter what I do, no matter what I become, I'll always care about you, Gianna."
The mage that Arthas was waiting for was none other than his lover Gianna? Proudmoor, who hasn't seen each other for more than a year, has matured a lot in conversation and communication, and at the same time has become more rational in their attitude towards love, and the necklace Gianna gave to Alsace has always cherished, and Gianna has always understood - perhaps this is the best interpretation of the love between Arthas and her.
Love is not the main theme of the film, but is another factor in the fall of Alsace, so most of them stop at the point.
In a very short period of time, an unknown and terrible plague slowly spread across the lands of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and Kel'thugad took the opportunity to lead the Cult of the Cursed God to stir up trouble in the kingdom of Lordaeron, spreading his evil teachings to blind countless people who longed for happiness, and transformed them into the spirit of the walking dead through the terrible plague virus.
The Undead Scourge not only threatens the stability of Lordaeron's borders, but also shakes the foundations of the entire kingdom of Lordaeron.
Arthas was so anxious that when he and Gianna rushed to the Andorhar region overnight, the events that would affect Arthas's life were finally bornβArthas and Gianna began to study the deadly plague, and those affected by it were now transformed into terrible undead soldiers.
This army of the undead is actually the Scourge Legion.
Arthas was shocked and saddened by the birth of a qiΔ, and almost all of them were turned into undead walking corpses overnight, and Arthas was heartbroken by the great panic caused by the plague to the people of Lordaeron.
A strong sense of responsibility and historical mission made Alsace hate the undead of natural disasters to the core.

Seeing Arthas kill those real, creepy undead monsters on screen, Kenneth? Turan couldn't help muttering, "When people are trying to pursue, they will do their best, even deviating from some of their own life principles." β
Next to him, Todd? McCarthy said, "Historically, there have been many people who have done whatever it takes to get there. Alsace had such signs at this time, and in such a situation, once the fuse appeared, it was possible to lose oneself. β
The most pressing issue now is to trace the source of the plague, and Arthas and Gianna follow the clues left by the Cult of the Damned God all the way to the grain transit center in the northern kingdom of Lordaeron, where another important event affecting Arthas is born.
Nearly half of his elite guards and guardsmen, Darion? Mograine ate contaminated food and contracted the Plague of the Dead, which allowed Gianna and Arthas to finally find a way for the Cult of the Damned to spread the plague.
However, this qiΔ was too late, and neither the power of Alsace's light nor Gianna's magic could relieve the effects of the plague, and one by one, the local garrison and some members of the prince's guard became enemies that Arthas had sworn to destroy.
The former comrades-in-arms died painfully, and slowly stood up and became their own enemies, and the comrades they killed will also become enemies.
"O Infinite Light, why can't you have mercy on their souls!"
The barracks turned into a battlefield, and Arthas, after purifying several undead, finally rushed to Darien? By Mograine's side, because of the relationship with the Hallows Ash Messenger, Darien has not yet turned into an undead, but he is also dying.
"Hold on!"
Supported by more than a dozen people, Arthas threw away the hammer and got down on one knee and hugged Darian, "Hold on, my brother!" β
"Sorry, Arthas!"
Darien's hand slowly rested on Arthas's arm, "I can't fight with you anymore!" β
"I'll save you!"
As he spoke, Arthas used several holy light spells one after another, and the golden divine light continued to sprinkle on Darien's body, as expected, without any effect.
"Don't waste your strength, Arthas, save your strength to fight the undead!"
Suddenly, Darian, dying? Mograini had a little more strength, and he grabbed Arthas's arm hard, "I beg you one thing, Arthas!" β
He looked at his friend sincerely, waited for Arthas to nod, and said, "Let me die honorably as a human being, and don't let me become those filthy monsters!" β
"No......" the young prince's body trembled.
"Fulfill me, my brother, this is my last request!"
If given a choice, these valiant warriors would rather be crushed than become the undead of the Scourge, Arthas's hands were shaking, he didn't want to see his friends turn into skeletons or zombies, he couldn't refuse Darien's request, he also knew that Darien deserved to die honorably as a human!
He pulled out the dagger on his waist, and the huge power of holy light blessed it, and the dagger that flashed with divine light approached Darion little by little? Mograine's heart.
"My brother, my friend, my partner......"
Seeing the relief in Darian's eyes, Arthas slowly closed his eyes, and a tear inadvertently slipped from the corner of his eye, dripping onto the land blackened by the plague.
"Rest in peace, Darien!"
Letting go of the body that no longer breathed in his arms, Arthas grabbed the warhammer next to him and stood up, his young and handsome face full of vengeful rage, the holy light full of mercy became the killing weapon in his hands, and countless undead were purified by the blow of the power of Minethil.
"This is the Light? It can't save my people, it can't save my comrades, it can't save my brothers, it can't save my kingdom! β
When the battle ended, Arthas faced the Guards, who had suffered heavy casualties, further deepening their suspicions of the Light.
Anyone could tell from his gloomy face that the prince's faith had been shaken.
But there wasn't much time left for Arthas to think and grieve, and Gianna quickly approached him and reminded him that "the grain in the granary is probably contaminated, and it has been transferred to Stratholme in the north!" β
Things were even stricter than Arthas had imagined, and the most important thing to do at this time was to pursue the convoy carrying grain, but before he could gather his troops, the undead of the natural disasters poured like a tidal wave towards the grain transfer station. r1152
