Chapter 872: The Angry Prince
readx;
Like treating Darien? Like Mograini, Arthas was hesitant and even wavered in the face of these infected civilians, but his experience had ruthlessly taught him that purification was the wisest choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Actually, it's the most reasonable choice."
Looking at the prince who is still hesitating and struggling, Todd? McCarthy also lamented, "Alsace's massacre of the city is understandable in such an environment. ”
"yes." Kenneth? Turan sighed, "What can you do if you are someone else, is it really gone?" ”
Just as Arthas stopped in the square near the city gates, one of the consuls of Stratholme walked up to him.
"Your Highness, many people in the city are seriously ill, can you help us?"
By this time, Arthas had abandoned his last of mercy and replied to the Archon with a hard warhammer and cold words, "The only thing I can do for you is to give you a clean and quick death!" ”
The young prince finally wielded his butcher's knife!
His actions were like an order, and all the soldiers took action, aiming their weapons at the surrounding civilians, and the once prosperous Stratholme turned into hell in an instant.
"What, this can't be?"
Sick civilians couldn't believe what was happening, and some were still shouting, "Oh, no...... The prince went crazy! ”
And that's just the beginning!
In the process of slaughtering civilians, Arthas's extremely depressed and sad mental condition caused him to completely abandon his belief in the Light, causing the spirit to finally come to the brink of collapse due to the pressure of his heart, from a prince who yearns for the Light to an avenger who craves all power.
The massacre did not last long for civilians to be transformed into undead, and although these undead were also transformed by the people of Lordaeron, it was better to slaughter them than to slaughter civilians.
None of Arthas's soldiers noticed the change in Arthas, and although he seemed more frantic and ruthless than before, he was becoming more courageous and determined, and the soldiers seemed to be happy to accept the prince's change, because it relieved them of the burden of obeying orders, especially in such an environment.
"I've been waiting for you here, young prince!"
Suddenly, a terrifying voice rang out from among the crowd of undead, "I'm Melganis!" ”
"I'm going to kill you!"
Freed from the undead around him, Arthas's warhammer pointed at the Dreadlord, "I will avenge the dead!" ”
"As you can see......"
Melganis's voice was full of banter, "Your people are mine now, and I will carry out the transformation of the undead in this city until the flame of life is extinguished...... Forever! ”
"I'm not going to allow this to happen!" Arthas swung his hammer and smashed the rushing skeleton to pieces, shouting angrily, "Melganis! It is better for these people to die at my hands than to be enslaved by you after death! ”
He led a party in the direction of Melganis's voice, but instead of confronting the Dreadlord head-on, he had a large army of undead stop Arthas, and he personally led the transformation of the scourge in Stratholme......
Just as far as Arthas can see, a group of children turn into ghouls!
Then, Melganis completely disappeared into the layers of buildings, leaving only mocking words.
It has to be said that this very simple ploy is very effective for Arthas today, and the enraged prince shouted orders behind him, "Melganis will send some of his servants from the Scourge to interfere with our operations, and those of you with the sharpest weapons and the most powerful spells should go and destroy them for me, and I will lead the rest of the troops to cleanse the infected part of Stratholme!" ”
Lordaeron's army was split in two, and in order to prevent more undead from appearing to expand the Scourge legions, there was a heinous killing race between Arthas and Melganis.
Without Uther's conservatism and dogma, and without Gianna's gentleness and thoughtfulness, no one could stop Arthas's strong thirst for revenge, and despite his conscience, Arthas put his plan into action, ordering his soldiers to slaughter the plague-stricken citizens and burn all the buildings in the city!
Stratholme is caught in flames, and the plague is purified by the flames!
Looking at the angry prince who was burning like a fire on the screen, Ilyen suddenly felt a little bitter, a good person who was originally upright, because of love and persistence, because of the character flaws that everyone will have, because of the impulsiveness and lack of experience of young people, he has come to the point of no return.
As a veteran movie fan, he actually knows very well that when the plot goes to the grain transit center, Arthas has no choice, and according to his description earlier in the film, it is impossible for the young prince to abandon his kingdom and people.
Jaina? Proudmoor, who is from Dalaran and whose hometown is Kurtiras, can naturally sit back and watch what happens in Lordaeron.
The Knights of the Silver Hand are first and foremost loyal to the Light, and when events contradict the teachings of the Light, they will only follow the path of the Light in a rigid manner.
And what about Alsace?
As a prince and the future master of the kingdom, this is a responsibility that he cannot escape.
It was the darkest scene of all the films he had ever seen!
"Melganis, I will never let you go!"
Arthas's face was hideous and distorted, fully reflecting his heart at this moment, the real transformation of the originally kind and righteous Prince Lordaeron has begun, he may have faintly realized that fate does not seem to allow him to be a protector at all, maybe he is more suitable to be a warrior who thirsts for enemy blood, hungry for meat, or even a butcher.
Similarly, Ryan's Oscar-winning acting skills show Alsace's inner world in the carefully edited pictures of Natalie.
Stratholme's massacre was a sting in Arthas's heart, and he didn't dare to face that guilt, although he definitely didn't regret it, but he felt extremely guilty.
It was a strange feeling, like a man who eats the flesh of a dead man when he is hungry and does not regret it afterwards, but the feeling of disgust cannot be eliminated, and perhaps it is this unbearable guilt that makes Arthas sacrifice his life to take revenge on Melganis - perhaps he thinks that this is the only way to atone for his sins!
Doing too much of anything would be numbing, and in the ensuing race to slaughter, Alsace was visibly numb.
"Melganis, I will never let you go!"
Perhaps, in his opinion, the only way to atone for his sins was to destroy Melganis, and as long as he killed the Dreadlord who had committed many crimes, then all his sins could be forgiven and understood.
However, it wasn't just Stantholm and the Scourge who fell under the Alsatian hammer, and on this very day, a part of his integrity and goodness was also dying.
Any epic film will have a king-to-king showdown, and this movie is no exception, Arthas finally finds Melganis in front of the cathedral in Stratholme, and the two stage the ultimate showdown!
The battle didn't have much of a fancy magical effect, and both Arthas and Melganis were mainly hand-to-hand combat, and the two were so powerful that they almost destroyed half of the church district......
The young Arthas was obviously not strong enough to defeat Melganis even at the cost of the lives of several high-ranking knights, and the burning flames of Stratholme spread to the church district, and the Dreadlord seemed to have no intention of fighting, and he released a powerful magical shockwave that bounced Arthas and the others away, opening the pre-set portal to Northrend.
"If you want revenge, come to Northrend and find me!"
With one last sentence, Melganis burrowed into the portal, which then exploded!
"I swear I'll find you, I'll kill you!"
The enraged prince swore to the ruins, "No matter where you go!" ”
As the film draws to a close, Arthas leads his troops out of the burning Stratholme, leaving most of his humanity behind him as he leaves him behind and swings away.
What remains is an angry prince who will do whatever it takes to take revenge on Melganis, the mastermind behind the scenes!
The screen gradually zoomed out, and the burning Stratholme completely disappeared from view, and in the blurred picture, Arthas was gathering a fleet and was about to make an expedition to the continent of Northrend......
The gentle and mournful female chant sounded again, and the subtitles slowly fell - director Natalie? Portman, starring Ryan? Jenkins......
This is the end of the first installment of the magical epic series.
This is not the traditional happy ending of Hollywood, even very depressing and dark, but it does not prevent the audience from applauding for the first time, and the warm applause is like the sea water stirred by Hurricane Katrina, which cannot be calmed down for a long time, and it lasted for a full five minutes.
"Daddy......"
After a pause in applause, Sandy blinked her curious eyes and asked, "Does this mean that our film is a success?" ”
"At least a third of the time it worked." Ryan said.
When the applause completely stopped, a large number of people poured around him to congratulate him, a little distance away, Natalie was surrounded by no less than the number of people here, and the people who came up were insiders, naturally understanding that Ryan's script and performance were important, and Natalie's directing work was equally good.
Especially in the eyes of those who are full of literary fans, this film does not have the shallowness and vulgarity of Ryan-style commercial films at all, and the dark wind and depth of thought in it are obviously given by Natalie.
Of course, these are all superficial tastes, and neither Ryan nor Natalie will let the so-called depth replace the commercial flavor of the film.
This is a super masterpiece that goes straight to business. r1152
