Chapter 354: The Terrible Watcher (1/4)
The rupture of the Frozen Throne affects not only Arthas, but also other undead.
As the Lich King's power slowly drained, his control over all the undead in the world became weaker and weaker, and some undead with a very strong spiritual will began to break free from the Lich King's control with their own efforts.
That's not necessarily a good thing.
These undead are no longer humans or High Elves, or any other original race, their mentality has changed, and even their emotions have changed.
It is impossible for them to return to their families, and some even have no family anymore because their families have become undead.
These spirits of the undead, who have regained their freedom, begin to wander around.
Some of the undead are okay and unwilling to harm their former compatriots, and some even choose to destroy themselves to end this eternal suffering.
But there are also some undead who begin to hate the living, and even think that they are another race, and begin to kill the living.
This kind of thing will happen from time to time in the future.
The spirits of the undead, who are free and awaken to themselves, will be even more terrible than the original.
They will hide, they will hide, they will hide, they will assassinate, they will wander around the world, but they will be wiped out completely.
Of course, there are also some undead who still uphold the concept and will of their lifetime and continue to fight against the Scourge Legion.
Like Thassarian and Koltila.
These two powerful death knights have been secretly resisting the control of the Lich King, and their conscience is still clear.
Their mental will is very strong, but because they were directly killed by Frostmourn, they are more controlled by the Lich King, and with their own strength, they can't break free from the control.
But not so long ago, they had met some special undead, and among them was a special person: Alonsos Fao.
Thassarian was once a soldier of Lordaeron, a believer in the Light, and had the privilege of seeing Fao from afar. Now that he saw Fao, he fell to his knees and confessed his mistake in front of the former Archbishop of the Holy Light: he had killed many of his compatriots, including his mother.
Fao forgave him, and the Light forgave him.
Because Thassarian is not in control of his own power, everything is controlled by the Lich King and Arthas, and there is nothing he can do.
It was not his fault, it was precisely the torture of him.
Subsequently, with Fao's help, he and Koltila were able to escape the Lich King's control at the same time, helping Fao secretly find the undead who also broke free from the Lich King's control, or wanted to break free from the Lich King's control.
It's hard, it's very little, and it's not very effective.
But now, the Lich King's grip is getting weaker, allowing them to see an opportunity.
Thassarian and Koltila immediately operated in the shadows.
Especially when Alsace was ready to leave Gilneth and head to Northrend, they knew their opportunity had come.
If they are lucky, they may have a large number of men, and the number of "forsaken" will increase tenfold and hundredfold.
Gilneth, the undercurrent is turbulent.
…………
As Illidan casts spells for longer and longer, so does the power of the ritual.
Now it's no longer the Frozen Throne or the Icecrown Glacier Tremors, and even the entire Northrend continent is trembling, and it also affects the island of Queldanus as the casting point, as well as the entire northern continent of Lordaeron.
There was fighting everywhere, and millions of people came out of the room, panicking, thinking that a great earthquake had begun.
Fortunately, the magnitude of the shaking was not large, and even the worst dilapidated houses could not collapse, and people quickly calmed down, the fear slowly disappeared, and they got together in twos and threes to discuss where the earthquake came from.
But Silvermoon City is different.
It was so close to Queldanus Island that the High Elves could clearly see the building shaking.
Sylvanas stood at the top of the Sunrise Court, frowning slightly.
An earthquake of this magnitude would not have been able to destroy Silvermoon City, which was guarded by magical powers, but she was still worried, because the epicenter seemed to be in the north, on the island of Queldanus.
Contrary to Jiang Zai's guess, Sylvanas got in touch with Kael'thas not long ago, knowing that Kael'thas was on Queldanas Island, but instead of telling her what she was doing, she gave a strange order:
Heighten vigilance, patrol the coast, and be vigilant against the Naga.
Naga, have they risen from the depths of the deep sea?
Do they want to attack Silvermoon City?
What do you want to do, Kael'thas?
…………
Looking at the leader of the watchers not far away, Kael'thas had a very ugly face.
He immediately ordered all the High Elf mages to defend and be on guard, and then ordered the phoenix "Ao" to attack, and at the same time cast a spell, an invisible force field swept towards Mavi.
But the next moment, Mavi disappeared without a trace.
Kael'thas let go of his spirit and even probed with spells.
But as always, he couldn't find Mavi's traces, the other party's concealment ability is too strong, too fast, and too experienced.
"Mavi!"
Kael'thas changed his former princely bearing, his brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth.
I didn't expect that helping Illidan would provoke such a terrible monster!
From the moment she left Ashenvale, Mavi had been following them, trying to capture Illidan in every possible way.
Even when they entered the incomparably dangerous tomb of Sargeras, Mavi followed.
They fought through all odds, slain hundreds of demons, avoided trap after trap, and finally gained the Eye of Sargeras.
While many of his men were killed by demons and traps, many more died at the hands of Mavi and the other watchers!
Fortunately, Illidan used the power of the Eye of Sargeras to teleport them out of the Tomb of Sargeras, and the frenzied flood of water killed almost all the watchers, but the surviving Mavi was still a lingering nightmare.
Sulama, and on the way back, they were attacked again and again by Mavi, and they suffered heavy casualties.
Kael'thas has no doubts:
If Mavi's target wasn't Illidan, but himself, then he really didn't know when he would be killed in his sleep!
"Damn Mavi, damn it...... Illidan! Kael'thas cursed in his heart, angry.
Thankfully, the ritual was almost complete, and he was on the verge of liberation.
At this time, a storm crow appeared in the sky.
It was a storm raven larger than a giant eagle, carrying the storm, and a beautiful Night Elf priestess sat on its back.
Whoosh!
The priestess bent her bow and arrows, and several feathered arrows flew down, aiming for ......
The Naga witch who maintains the ritual!
Kael'thas frowned slightly, and didn't choose to strike first, because he recognized the storm raven, as well as the priestess.
Those were the two beings he absolutely didn't want to provoke, unless he didn't want to mess around in Ashenvale, didn't want to continue to run the Demon Slayer Canyon, and continued to hunt the demons of Aishara.
The High Elves are in a difficult situation and should not continue to make enemies.
He doesn't shoot, someone does.
Thunder!
Lightning arrows pierced the sky, hitting the feathered arrows with incredible accuracy, blasting them to pieces.
The snake-ridden Naga witch, the personal maid of Essara, known as the "Gorgon", and the future queen of the fangs, Lady Fasqi, approached the altar with her long tail wagging her long tail and looked up at the bewitching Night Elf priestess, her voice filled with endless coldness and mockery:
"Tyrande, you damn it!"
