prologue
A frozen fortress made of countless solid ice bricks towers over the heart of the continent, and in addition to its great grandeur, it also has a bright spot, which is a straight peak protruding from his center. The straight peaks of the www.biquge.info are as natural as the ice castle from top to bottom. It seems more intimidating and difficult to conquer. It used to have many names, but because it was cold and almost no one was involved in it, the previous name was gradually forgotten. However, since the emergence of some new races, this place as their headquarters has gradually become known to all living beings, and eventually it is known as the Icecrown Fortress.
The highest point of the Icecrown Fortress, the highest platform on which the Ice Throne sit—the conceited, cold, mighty human prince deserves to sit on the highest point. It's empty, but the empty scene is not as silent as it seems, and there are always souls around it that can't be relieved by the sorrow of frost, and the cold that will never dissipate and the constant resentment of the dead souls, all of which will make people feel cold and intimidated from the heart. I'm afraid that even the bravest warriors will not be able to maintain their inner composure here. If anyone had the courage to look him in the eye, he might be able to see the renegade prince who bears the mark of the greatest shaman, Neozu, once the greatest. A frozen sculpture is sitting on a stone throne, lifeless. But if you feel it with your heart, no one can't feel his coldness and strength. And he is the master here, the leader of the Scourge Legion, Arthas, the Lich King.
Now, he was sitting quietly on his throne waiting for something, four years had passed since he had become like this. In the meantime, his heart was constantly torn by the struggles of the souls trapped in the frost sorrow and his own unextinguished humanity and conscience. This struggle even caused him to stop all his mannerisms. And because of this, his body has long been integrated into a statue that has been dusty for a long time by the cold environment. It became one with his throne and formed a true immortality, and the Frozen Throne was erected here.
It seems that nothing can disturb this sleeper, but there is always a bottom line in the painful struggle that he cannot bear, and Frost Sorrow always longs for a new soul. And the obsolete side of his own humanity gradually took over the upper hand of the soul. Eventually, he realized that he had delayed long enough, and that his almost extinguished conscience had allowed the primitive creatures of this world to survive for too long. And the final judgment has come, and one of them or themselves will live to the end.
The Lich King got up and walked down the winding staircase around the mountain, and couldn't help but think about how he had faced hardships to get here, and how he had overcome Naozu's will to control his body, but in retrospect, it felt as if it had been a lifetime, and the heavy baggage of the past should be thrown away, and it should be abandoned.
At that time, he needed to make up for his lost power, and he came here at the call of him, thinking about the reluctance at that time, but now that he has gained more after merging with it, he can control the entire Scourge Legion. Arthas couldn't help but thank the defeated Illidan who had been causing him a lot of trouble, and it was when he walked out of the door and saw where he was fighting him that he couldn't help but think of this Night Elf who had a similar fate to himself, and maybe he could understand that he was the only one who despised him, which was perhaps the greatest irony, but it was also the reason why he let him go. After all, a demon hunter who can't defeat his weakness even with the power of Gul'dan. Now he will definitely be afraid of his current strength and will find a place to hide, his power has made people fearful, and the power that makes people afraid is still afraid of himself, this is the biggest fear.
And what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg, as the Lich King lifted the Frost Sorrow and slid onto the ice, and the frost dragon Sindalgossa and his own army awaited the moment to be awakened. They crave the slaughter as much as their own swords. And the vast Scourge Legion has since awakened, and the world has officially kicked off his apocalypse.
