Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 45: The Situation
Yu Bin didn't know how he left Kel'thugad's room, it seemed that Les teleported him out. But at the time, he was shocked by the plans of the two lichs and was in no mood to think about anything else.
By the way, what does Kel'thugad seem to have given himself back?
Yu Bin stretched out his hand, a drawing was being pinched in the palm of his hand, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a part of the Death Marks suit.

[Equipment Description: One of the Death Scars set.] 】
If it were a different time, Yu Bin would definitely calculate the advantages and disadvantages of this equipment, and then consider how to collect the materials needed to make this equipment. But now, he was not interested in thinking about such a trivial matter.
He was shocked by what the two lichs were planning, Kel'thugard and Les Frostwhisper! They actually want to attack the spider goddess Rose, and plot to seize the source of the shadows!
Since the end of the Ancient Era, the surviving ancient creatures have become gods, and the path in front of all the powerhouses in the Entagri world is very clear, that is, like those ancient creatures, to become high gods.
To become a god, to put it simply, there are only three steps: control a source of power, obtain a godhood, and ignite a divine fire!
The most difficult, and most important, of these is the first step – mastering a source of power.
Depending on the strength of the source of power under their control, the priesthood available to the gods varies, and the amount of time it takes to ignite the divine fire. The more powerful the source of power, the more powerful the priesthood can be born, and the less difficult it is to ignite the divine fire. Therefore, the most important point in the whole process is how to control a source of power that is strong enough.
Now that the entire Entagri world has entered the Third Age, in a long period of time, countless Heavenly Sons have been on this path to godhood, even if only one percent, or even one thousandth of them have succeeded, it has led to almost all the sources of power having become masters. Even in the Second Age, some beings who became gods later could only settle for the next best thing, using a weak source of power to obtain the priesthood and ignite the divine fire.
For example, the god of ooze monsters, Guannard, was once a powerful male dark elf, but because he could not obtain a strong enough source of power, he could only rely on the leftovers of the three sources of power, Shadow, Toxin, and Corrosion as his god, which led to his very small priesthood and a long time to ignite the divine fire.
After becoming a god, Guan Nade is not even comparable to some legendary-level existences in terms of combat effectiveness, and the only advantage is that he can use divine power to fight, and in some specific circumstances, he can overwhelm those legendary-level powerhouses. I have to say that this god is very despised by people.
Therefore, the reason why Kel'thugad and Les Frost started the idea of the spider goddess Rose, Yu Bin was reluctant to accept it. There are two sources of power that the spider goddess Rose relies on to become a god, one is the shadow and the other is betrayal, compared to the latter, the former is an important reason why she can suppress the entire dark elves, and even secretly control most of the underground world.
And lichs like Kel'thugad and Les Frostwhisper, if they want to become gods, there are not many sources of power that they can choose, the most important ones are soul, frost, and death, and others like bones, curses, etc. are all one level lower.
The problem is that the source of death is now in the hands of Jegob, the god of death, and this ancient god still has the great weapon of the Styx, unless he can't think of looking for death, no one will go to the hands of this lord to grab something.
Not to mention the source of the soul, which is divided among three gods, these three are the lich god Visaron, the soul god Psyche, and Kranvo, who is supported by the god of death, Jecob, no matter which one, there are a large number of believers and supporters behind it, which is not comparable to Kel'thugad and his psychic academy.
As for the source of frost, Yu Bin felt that the two lichs probably hadn't considered it at all, because this thing was in the bag of the wind elemental goddess Arcade, one of the oldest gods, and the first wind elemental lord in the world of Entagre, Arcadi not only controlled the source of the wind, one of the five sources of magic, but also owned the entire source of frost, most of the source of thunder and lightning, most of the source of speed, half of the source of illusion, and half of the source of space. Yu Bin felt that if Kel'thugad was asked to find a way to snatch the source of frost from Arcadide, I am afraid that the lich would rather choose to kill Jecob, the god of death!
So the problem is very clear, the three main sources of power can't be touched, so I have to find a way to deal with the source of secondary power, white bones, curses, etc., Yu Bin estimates that Kel'thugad can't look down on it, pick and choose, alas, the source of the shadow in the hand of the spider goddess Rose is just right, the size and appearance are almost appropriate, and the owner of this thing is not a good product, the popularity is very poor, and it is also the existence of those who have long ears and want to kill it quickly.
The only thing to worry about is those dark elves who live in the underground world, in terms of high-end combat power, the legendary level of Kel'thugad and the legendary level of Les Frost should be able to match Rose who is a low-level divine power, but in terms of basic combat power, the gap is a bit big. On the one hand, there is the entire dark elf clan, and on the other hand, there is only the capital of the psychic academy, no matter how you look at it, it is the result of being pushed.
Therefore, the two lichs thought about it and had no choice but to carry forward the glorious traditions of the proletariat. As the so-called fortresses are breached from the inside, as long as they find a way to let the group of dark elves who like to play tricks and tricks the most mess up themselves, they can fish in troubled waters, and make a bright future with a small and big one!
And what better place to start than the Koman family, where Elvira belongs? Yu Bin relied on the memories of his previous life, thought about it, and had to admit that Kel'thugad was scheming. Secretly supporting the Koman family, and then taking advantage of the opportunity of the shadow turmoil, to find an opportunity to snatch the source of the shadow from Rose's hands, is indeed a very good plan, and the success rate is not low.
Of course, Yu Bin believes that there are still many inside stories that he has not seen clearly and has not thought clearly. It was impossible for the two lichs to confuse him of every detail of their plans. What chess player would tell a piece why he made the move and what he was going to do next?
But as long as the general content of this plan is determined, Yu Bin can rely on the memories he has gained from his previous life and find a way to get the greatest return from it. For this, he does not mind playing the role of a pawn in it.
And the blueprint of the Death Scar part is part of the remuneration paid by Kel'thugad to Yu Bin, or it can be said to be a deposit.
This can be regarded as a large-scale mission with a long time span, and Yu Bin's main responsibility is to be the messenger of communication between Kel'thugad and Elveira. On the one hand, he is an undead, and he already has a certain interest base in the psychic academy, and he will not easily betray Kel'thugad; On the other hand, relying on the Book of your, Yu Bin also became familiar with Elvela, leaving a deep impression, and presumably it would be easier to come into contact with this Shadow Witch next time.
While thinking about what benefits he could get from this big plan, Yu Bin learned some of the things that had happened on the Ntagari continent during this period of time from the past.
From the time Yu Bin decided to escort Manas to the Psychic Academy, it took almost twenty days to finally complete this arduous task, of course, this time was much faster than Yu Bin had expected, originally he thought it would take at least a month or even longer to complete.
In the past 20 days, of course, the situation on the entire continent cannot be turned upside down, but there are still some relatively important things that have happened.
First of all, within the undead, although the rebellion that occurred in the Ferta Empire ended with the bandit leader Tamil conferring the head, the subsequent effects are still fermenting, and during the period when Bin was trekking in the underground world, the remnants of the rebels, who were obviously secretly funded by a certain force, began to spread everywhere in the province of La Rodos, especially near the Valley of the Winds, where the rebels and the Imperial army finally fought, and a large area including Deathknell Town had fallen into chaos. However, at this time, the Felta Empire had to send most of the Imperial army to the border to confront the army of the Dia Empire, and the task of exterminating the remnants of the rebel army was handed over to the local noble lords as Yu Bin expected, and these tasks were issued step by step, and finally most of them fell into the hands of the undead players. It is clear that things are moving along the same lines in previous lives.
In addition to the undead, another race with a lot of movement is the orcs. With the defection of the Blackstone Clan and the Fireblade Clan settling into the Sweet Water Oasis in the Barrenlands, the authority of the Orc Great Chief Thrall was finally asserted, and the orc faction that originally supported the Warlocks led by the Blackstone Clan was severely suppressed, and shamanism was able to re-emerge as the mainstream doctrine of the Orcs. This has led to many orc clans being dissatisfied with Orgrimmar, and coupled with the defection of the Blackstone clan in secret, some small clans have announced that they will no longer accept Orgrimmar's rule. The Great Orc Chief Thrall had to send an army on a crusade against these clans that were trying to split the orcs.
At the same time, the Fireblade clan settled in the Sweetwater Oasis, which greatly stimulated the minotaurs living in Mogaolei. There had been several low-intensity clashes between the two sides at the junction of the Barren Lands and the Mogaolei steppe, and according to the words of the past, the atmosphere of war was now everywhere within the Fireblade Clan, and the demand for supplies, especially military supplies, had increased by at least half, and even fools could see that these muscular men wanted to take this opportunity to further expand the clan's territory. The great battle between the minotaurs and the orcs in the previous life has already begun to emerge.
After talking about the chaos camp, the next step is the order camp. The most eye-catching thing among the players in the Order camp right now is the Werewolf Plague that happened in the Silver Pines Forest.
With the end of the offensive and defensive battle in Nanhai Town, the Shadow Werewolves under Arugao's control had to temporarily put away their minions and find a way to increase their numbers as soon as possible. In addition to continuing to summon shadow werewolves from the shadow plane, Arugao also sent a large number of his men to raid human civilians everywhere, and it is said that even the Duchy of Giraldine has traces of werewolves, and the disappearance of civilians has happened everywhere.
Accepting Raphael's suggestion, Tibest eventually managed to evacuate the Tirisfara Glade with most of his soldiers, and retreated the line back to the border of the Ashwood Kingdom, a move that angered the nobles of the Ashwood Kingdom and publicly accused Tibest of avoiding a fight and watching the interests of humanity suffer. It wasn't until Khadgar came forward and made public a great deal of evidence of the collusion of some nobles with the evil forces of the Tirisfal Glades that the accusations against Tibest subsided. For this, the kingdom of Ashwood publicly executed three nobles, including an earl.
The South Sea Town side was undisturbed, and after being hurt by the expeditionary force, whether it was the trolls of Broken Ridge or the orcs of Dunhold Castle, they all fell into peace. Yu Bin estimated that the former was trying to find a way to ask for more gifts from the blood god Haka, while the latter estimated that he was having a headache at this time how to deal with the threat from Orgrimmar.
Tadelal had given Raphael all the power to command the South Sea Town Expeditionary Force, and he himself led the high-ranking priests supported by the Holy See of Light to resurrect the soldiers whose bodies and souls were still intact. Raphael was not in a hurry to attack, she persuaded the Duchy of Giraldine and the Brute Hammer Dwarves of Hinterland to open a second supply line through Hinterland, so that the supplies of Nanhai Town were quickly abundant. In addition, she turned Nanhai Town into a busy construction site, and the ore and various raw materials from the jasper mine quickly turned into piles of arrows and armor, and the number of expeditionary troops gathered in Nanhai Town increased to nearly 50,000.
It can be said that the town of Nanhai has been out of the crisis, and it won't be long before Raphael will be able to take those soldiers and advance the battlefield into the Silver Pine Forest.
