Chapter 20 Under the Divergent Path of History

What to do?

Claudia was a little desperate, even if she didn't mention Arthas's recent achievements, she had already understood that she was no match for Arthas in the brief spell collision she had just had with Arthas.

And what is even more terrifying is that if it falls into the hands of Arthas, even death is a luxury, and he will resurrect you and destroy everything you hold dear with you.

I must not die here, many people are still waiting for me to go back, I must think of a way.

"You are not my lord, I once swore allegiance to His Majesty Terenus, and according to the laws of Lordaeron, you who killed the current king are already a traitor, and no longer have the right to inherit the kingdom." Claudia looked at Arthas warily as she pondered what to do, and clenched her silver hand.

Arthas didn't care about Claudia's words, since he pulled out the frost sorrow, all kinds of curses have been heard too much, compared to the girl's attitude, his gaze swept over the girl's war hammer, and continued to sneer coldly:

"So you have an artifact, no wonder Count Sean didn't succeed in killing you last time."

"If Earl Sean is here, he could have played with you, but I'm not interested in a little girl like you, and if you're willing to stay with me for two days and write a few letters, I'll let you get back to Gianna alive afterwards, how about it?"

There was a brief moment when Claudia wanted to agree immediately, but she quickly denied the idea, not to mention that Arthas's credibility was definitely worth worrying, even if what Arthas said was true, the girl would never tolerate herself becoming a part of his evil plan, if Gianna or more people were in danger because of her cowardice, then what was the point of stealing her life!

Claudia's eyes became firm, and she gritted her teeth in the face of Arthas, who was waiting for her reply:

"Your Highness, don't try to insult our common origin!"

"I'm a heroic and noble paladin, and I will never be wronged because I am greedy for life and afraid of death!"

An inexplicable look appeared on Arthas's face, and after a long time, he said with a cold voice: "Sure enough, you shouldn't expect anything from a paladin's dead brain, it seems that it is better to turn you into a death knight to be your fiancΓ©." ”

After hearing Arthas's words, Claudia jumped off her horse and began to prepare for battle, her strength was too strong, and this ordinary war horse could not adapt to her next battle, the war horse felt the girl's heart and ran away a few meters away.

In the next moment, Claudia activated the blood veins in her body and called for the help of the Holy Light, and a pair of light wings spread out behind the girl, and the girl's original blue eyes had turned incandescent, and began to emit an extremely strong holy light from the inside out.

Arthas has been indifferently watching the girl's movements, just like looking at a dead person, until the thunder in the girl's eyes appeared and the wings behind her spread, then he showed an interested look and said: "It's a little interesting, in addition to the artifact, you actually have the power of Valkyrie in your body, and I will study your body carefully after you die." ”

You have to work hard, only in this way can you have a glimmer of life.

Claudia raised her hand and pointed at it, and a hammer-shaped judgment slammed down on Arthas's head.

Arthas quickly estimated the power and propped up the anti-magic shield, then rode the invincible and charged towards the girl!

At this time, Claudia's left fingertips had already condensed enough holy light, and she raised her hand to point, but it was aimed at Arthas's skeletal war horse "Invincible", and a fierce impact of holy light rushed towards it.

Invincible couldn't stop this move, Arthas slammed Frostmourn in the direction of the impact of the Holy Light.

Rumble! The Holy Light Blaster and the Frostmourning Sword collided and shattered into countless golden shards that struck the Invincible.

The bruised skeleton warhorse let out a wail and took a few more steps to his knees, but Arthas was close enough to Claudia to leap high and slash at the maiden.

He didn't worry about his war horse at all, as long as the core of the "invincible" was not destroyed, the injuries in the rest of the parts could be recovered with the power of death, and now it was just useless for a short time.

In the face of Arthas with a sword, Claudia did not continue to use the commonly used holy light spells, the trial just hit Arthas without even a little wave, and the fist of anger, divine shock, condemnation and other spells hit him did not have much effect, she raised her silver hand to prepare for melee combat, in melee combat, it is impossible for the other party to continue to maintain the anti-magic shield, maybe you can use a certain spell to win some opportunities.

Bang!

Frost Sorrow and the Silver Hand fought, Claudia stomped back three steps, and Arthas strode in pursuit, slashing at the girl with another sword, and after several more sword and hammer blows, the girl was hit open by Arthas's great force, and Arthas stabbed her sword again.

Holy Shield!

The girl's mind moved, and a circular transparent barrier appeared on her body, but Arthas's eyes showed a deep sarcasm, he was also a paladin, and in his opinion, this holy shield could not stop his blade.

Boom!

The Holy Shield shattered, but Arthas's blow was also partially weakened, and it froze for a moment.

In a short time, Claudia also unleashed the spell she wanted to unleash, her wings turned into countless golden feathers and wrapped around Arthas, and the girl was instantly out of Valkyrie's state and a little weak.

Brush Brush Brush!

Arthas slashed at the golden feathers with a sword, and soon he slashed them clean, only to find that Claudia had climbed onto her steed again.

Arthas grinned and asked for a spell to send to Claudia, when at his feet, a ring suddenly burst into white light, which was the one-time magic ring that Gianna had given to the girl.

Facing a frost nova that sealed Gianna's full strength, Arthas was stunned for a moment, even if it was the same spell, the strength of each archmage had a slight difference, and he was instantly frozen by ice from the waist down, but Arthas was unaware and shouted:

"Gianna, I know it's you, where are you?!"

In his mind, the Lich King immediately reminded him: This is just a spell item made by Gianna, and you have been deceived.

"Give me death!"

Arthas burst into rage, raising Frost Grief and pointing at the girl, dozens of black shadow rays struck the girl who had just mounted her horse and turned to run.

I can't slow him down, that spell won't hold him off for long, and I don't have a second ring, it's my only way to survive! And even if he dies in the forest and is eaten by wild beasts after being injured, it is better than living and dying in his hands!

Claudia quickly made a judgment in the face of the flying spell, turned sideways to reduce the area of damage and held the silver hand in front of her chest, and then she quickly activated a holy shield, a spell that could not block the shadow rays, but always weakened a lot.

Snort!

Although the vital points on the girl's body were avoided, there were still many places hit by the shadow ray, especially her waist, from where a weakened shadow ray pierced deep into her body, and the small bag around her waist also split and fell to the ground, and a ring bounced out of the bag.

It hurts! It's uncomfortable! It should have hurt the internal organs, but I can't stop, continue to accelerate!

Sensing his master's intentions, the horse sped up again, and finally carried the girl out of Arthas's spell attack range.

Click, click!

Arthas broke free from the ice on the ground, much faster than the girl expected, thanks to his perfect mastery of the power of frost, if it weren't for the power of Gianna that made him stunned, and Gianna's strength was much stronger than the average archmage, this frost nova wouldn't even have any effect on him.

Arthas glanced at the back of the girl riding away, and was about to pursue when a voice suddenly sounded in his heart.

"Don't chase her, our goal has been achieved, she won't live long if she gets your shadow ray, it's more important to complete the plan than to waste time chasing her."

Arthas was a little puzzled: "Reached?" ”

The voice continued, "Yes, the ring she just dropped is the communication ring that the goblins just invented at the end of last year, and judging by the relationship between that girl and Gianna, this expensive ring should have been given to her by Gianna, and we can use this ring to have a conversation with Gianna." ”

"During the conversation, remember to tell Gianna that you want to atone for your past actions, and see if you can use her and her allies to kill the traitors Tikdios, Anatheron, and Reki Frost."

"Yes, master, I see."

Arthas walked over to the package that the maiden had left behind, and picked up the communication ring that the Lich King had mentioned, trying several times to no avail.

"These rings usually require a communication password, but I've found a way around it, so you can do it."

Soon Arthas activated the ring the same way the Lich King had said, first flashing yellow and then turning green, indicating that the communication had been picked up.

Arthas brewed his emotions for a moment, and then spoke: "I'm sorry, Gianna, I'm ...... Arthas. ”

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the roar of the other side, and even through the ring, he could feel the deep hatred of the other party: "Ah! You! Sa! This! What's wrong with my adjutant?! ”

The Lich King began to ask in his mind, confused:

"Who is this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the voice of King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom, it seems that our plan has failed, do you want me to continue to hunt down that girl?"

"No, it was very successful, much better than the best expected, you have to provoke him as much as possible and bring the Stormwind Kingdom into it."

"It's so easy, I know Varian's temper best."

Then Alsace began to speak with deep malice:

"Varian, my brother, Claudia's ring has fallen on my hand, and I know the password, what do you say is wrong with her?"

"Ha, I said why did she keep calling your name before she died, she was so infatuated, I was almost a little moved, do you want me to resurrect her and send it back to you after I get tired of playing?"

Violent gasps began to be heard from the other side of the ring, apparently already a little angry, and Varian gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Arthas, you scoundrel, coward, executioner who only bullies old men and little girls!"

Arthas continued to taunt, "Old man? You're talking about my father, and you look at him as if he were your real father, but you don't know how funny his face was before he died, right? So shocked and heartbroken, people are dead and their eyes still refuse to close, I don't understand the beauty of I want him to have a good rest. ”

Boom! Boom! There were two loud slamming sounds from the other side of the ring, and then the other side said hatefully: "You wait for me, the alliance will not let you go, I will avenge my Claudia, His Majesty Tenaris, and the countless tragic deaths of Lordaeron." ”

"Hahaha." Arthas laughed wildly, "It's you who waits for me, I'm going to kill all your waste allies first, and then I'll go to Stormwind to destroy your people and you coward, and I'll remember to get poor Sister-in-law Tiffin back up again, by the way, you still have a five-year-old son, and it might be a fun experience to have Sister-in-law Tiffin kill her son with her own hands in front of you." ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a few loud noises, the other side yelled word by word: "You will soon be able to witness my wrath with your own eyes, and I will tear you to pieces with my own hands, ah! You! Sa! This! ”

The connection was then disconnected, and Arthas's mental conversation with the Lich King continued.

"You're a genius, Arthas." The Lich King exclaimed, "Looks like the Burning Legion is going to have a lot of trouble to come up with. ”

"Master, I heard it right just now, didn't he mean to bring the army over in person?"

"If that is perfect, I have a brilliant plan to destroy our remaining stumbling blocks after the Burning Legion is gone."

Arthas then laughed wickedly out loud as well.
