Chapter 506: Battle IV (40)
System Advisory: Warning! Sylvanas has captured the second Philosopher's Tower.
Even if he didn't need warning, Light Blood watched the Dark Queen quickly kill through the Philosopher's Stone Tower to the North Gate, and then activated the Philosopher's Stone Tower.
The appearance of Lexa Rema, as well as the death of Wind Panda, seem to have stimulated Sylvanas. Sylvanas even gave up participating in the final encirclement of Anubrak, and led his guards to quickly gain control of the Philosopher's Stone Tower in the face of the attack of the Frost Dragon Legion in the sky.
And just now, Lockhan led his army to successfully defeat the northern defenders of the Undead Scourge, and he really deserves to be a master tactician of the former beast tribe. In contrast, the Fire Panda and Earth Panda of the Southern Chen Storm Spirits, which stood out and slaughtered in all directions, but on the whole, they could not be attacked for a long time, and the role of Lockhan in the legion combat was much more obvious.
Then Sylvanas arrived, easily taking possession of the Philosopher's Stone Tower there.
Sylvanas: "Arthas, you'll soon lose your last protection. ”
Lockhan: "Your Majesty, congratulations on getting one step closer to success. ”
Sylvanas: "Let's wait until Arthas is killed." Lockhan, you, along with Blackthorn, lead your troops to attack the west gate of Icecrown Castle. Killing the living man who occupies the Philosopher's Stone Tower is the first priority. And then...... Be careful with Lexar. ”
Lockhan: "Your Majesty, you ......"
Sylvanas: "I'm going to the South Gate, help Chen, and take control of the Philosopher's Stone Tower there." When I am done, I will go to the west gate to meet you. Take control of all the Philosopher's Towers in one fell swoop, open the Frozen Throne, and kill Arthas to put an end to everything. ”
This was Sylvanas' most pressing thought, as for what else to kill Anubrak, destroy the Frost Dragon Legion, and occupy Icecrown Castle...... None of this matters at all, as long as Arthas is dead.
These Philosopher's Stone Towers were actually built at the behest of the Burning Legion.
Back then, the Lich King's hidden ambitions had been noticed by the Burning Legion's higher-ups. However, for the sake of the Lich King's usefulness, coupled with his confidence in his own great strength, he did not deal with it. However, the Burning Legion has also sent a lot of Dreadlord to monitor the Lich King's every move anytime and anywhere, and if something is wrong, give it a killing.
These Philosopher's Towers are also one of the means used by the Burning Legion to control the Lich King, ostensibly to enhance the power of the Frozen Throne, but in essence, it makes the Frozen Throne more bound by external countermeasures. As long as the four Philosopher's Stone Towers are controlled, the Frozen Throne will lose all its effects.
Pros and cons depend.
It stands to reason that the Lich King (Arthas) in his victorious state can use the Frozen Throne and the Philosopher's Stone Tower to directly control the soul of the entire undead, allowing them to re-transform into the most loyal warrior of the Undead Scourge. Even the now powerful Sylvanas can't stop it.
However, ten years have passed. Sylvanas' worst fears did not materialize. Although she doesn't know what happened to Arthas (the Lich King), the hell?
But what is certain is that this will be their best chance.
Occupy the four Philosopher's Towers and kill Arthas!
……
On the Frozen Throne, Arthas crossed his arms and watched the battle below.
For a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Can't I really go to war?"
Behind Arthas, the Blood Raven standing on the rocks gently dissolves into human form, which is ...... The Last Guardian, Medivan!
In response to Arthas's question, Medivan shook his head resolutely, "No, if you leave the magic array, the power of the Lich King's soul in your body will lose its limit. You've amassed a lot of power during this time, but so has the Lich King. As soon as he loses the restraint here, he will immediately inform Anubaraq of everything. When the time comes, you'll face no more than just the Forsaken of Sylvanas, but probably your own undead scourge. ”
Arthas was silent for a moment and nodded, "Then, now it's just a matter of leaving everything to the people below, and the result is ...... There are only two kinds. For one, it was Gianna who managed to defeat Sylvanas. And then we'll figure out how to get rid of the Lich King together, right? ”
Medivan: "That's good. After that, I'll try to guide ...... In the form of negotiations, to resolve the contradictions of all parties. ”
Negotiating...... I haven't heard this term in years.
Arthas continued: "However, another result...... It was Sylvanas who won. ”
Medivin paused, "It's the worst, but you have to be prepared for the worst. Ultimately...... You may need to make a last-ditch effort against the remaining forces of the Forsaken with the Lich King in your own hands. Prince of Alsace. ”
Arthas's hand rested lightly on the hilt of Frost Sorrow's sword, "Let's call me king." The term prince grieves me, reminding me of the good times and the days of madness...... Now, although the kingdom of Lordaeron has been destroyed by my own hands, as long as I do not die for a day, the blood of the Minahir family will not end, and the glory of Lordaeron will never fall! I'll survive......"
Medivan shook his head helplessly, "Actually, I think you can talk to her......"
Arthas: "I know Sylvanas better than anyone else, she won't believe it...... She's stubborn. Just like back then, when I fought Quel'Thalas, I fought her several times. I was invincible, but she was indomitable. She would have had a lot of chances to escape and survive......"
"Even though I'm under the control of the Lich King...... But Sylvanas, it is true that I am sorry for you, and for your kingdom and people, even if I apologize for my sins with death. Unfortunately, I owe so much debt that death is just an escape......"
"Sylvanas, if you can kill me, I'll confess ......"
"But I will not let anyone slaughter me! I am a king, and my destiny is to die proudly! ”
……
As if sensing something, Sylvanas couldn't help but sneak a glance at the hill of the Frozen Throne, but immediately came back to his senses, focused, and coldly alerted the figure in front of him.
Lexa: "Woman, you're alone. ”
……
At the same time, underneath Icecrown Glacier, in the underground passage of the Kingdom of Android Nirub, a huge undead army is rapidly approaching Icecrown Castle, accompanied by countless undead players.
Kel'thugad: "Arthas, you were too careless...... When you summoned the Frost Dragon Legion, you also opened a small passage to the underground for the Lich King's soul power. ”
"Actually, there is a third ...... in the end."
