Chapter 44: Changes in the Nasam Plains (Part I)

The corpses that came out of the shadows, opened their eyes with soul fire, and one by one, silently walked out of the shadows and walked towards the plains. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info there, and the endless spirits of the dead wandered silently near the altar. There are the abomination of huge cysts, the hideous ghouls, the terrible aberrations, and of course more skeletons of all kinds.

The new undead walked silently to their companions, and then gathered with the entire army of the undead and began to wander aimlessly. If you look down from the sky, you will find that a large number of undead have gathered in this area, like a sea of death, spreading endlessly.

These tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of the undead are a great gift from the Scourge's Legion to the tribe. The reason for this was that months ago, when the Lich King was defeated in the Chapel of Light's Wish, the Alliance and the Horde seized the opportunity to land in the Borean Tundra in one fell swoop. And before the Scourge could react, they had already built a fortress on the Northwind Tundra, and after that, they repelled the attacks of the Plague Legion many times, and it was firmly nailed to the Northwind Tundra like a nail.

In addition, due to the rout of the Plaguelands, the new Ember Bringer, Tirio Fordin, led the Silver Dawn and the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army to capture Stratholme, completely liberating the Eastern Plaguelands that had been under siege for several years, and destroying most of the Scourge Legion's forces in the Eastern Kingdoms. As a result, the Scourge can no longer use the undead armies of the Plaguelands to contain the armies of Stormwind, Ironforge, Undercity, and Silvermoon. Since then, the situation has turned one-sided, allowing the Scourge to constantly lose ground on the battlefield.

After Tirio Fording had dealt with the Eastern Plaguelands, he began to travel north to Northrend, landing directly in the Dragonbone Wastes with the support of the major powers of Azeroth, and establishing fortresses and strongholds in the Dragonbone Wastes, aiming directly at the Icecrown Glacier. Under the terrifying power of the Ash Bringer, all the invading undead armies were defeated by the Silver Northern Expedition led by Tirio Ferdin.

Under the light of the Ash Bringer, all the undead would have collapsed, if it weren't for Naxxramas towering over the Dragonbone Wilderness, if it weren't for the Frost Dragons placed here by Kel'thugad, threatening the advance of the Silver Crusade, if it weren't for the Crypt Lords of the Nebru Legion. Then, the army of the undead in the Dragonbone Wilderness has long been destroyed by the Ash Bringer, and the blades of the Silver Northern Crusade will also be under the Icecrown Glacier.

However, Tirio Fordin, who wields the Ember Bringer, is too powerful. As long as it is an undead creature, then when facing the blazing holy light, it will be purified by the holy light, and some low-level undead will not even have the qualification of cannon fodder, even if it is just close to Tirio Fordin, who is holding the ash bringer, will turn into ashes. Even if it was the elite of Naxxramas, he was defeated all the way in front of Tirio Fordin. What's more, another Avenger also returned to Northrend with the Silver Crusade. The Ebon Knights of the Fortress of Acherus, full of rage, counterattacked back, and with the assistance of the Knights of the Razor, the Scourge was defeated all the way, after all, it was these Ebon Knights who rebelled from the Scourge who knew the Scourge best in Azeroth. This forced Kel'thugad to go on the defensive, using air superiority to stop the Silver Crusade and the Knights of the Black Blade from reaching Icecrown.

However, the Silver Expeditionary Army, which had been thwarted in its attack, had already begun to shift its direction towards Zudak and Howling Fjord. The latest news is that the Scourge has lost in Howling Sound, and the Forsaken of Undercity and the Seventh Legion of the Alliance, under the coordination of the Silver Northern Expedition, have temporarily put aside their hatred and conflict with each other, and jointly captured the fortress of Utgard, and the forces of the Scourge in Northrend have been forced to retreat.

Now, it's no longer the Alliance and the Horde that need to guard against the invasion of the Scourge Legion, but the Scourge need to consider how to resist the attack of the Alliance and the Horde, as well as the entire race of Azeroth. The offensive and defensive momentum has long been reversed, and plotting a plot to reverse the tide is already a matter for the Grand Lich of Naxxramas, K'l'Ultugad, to consider.

To this end, the lich, who had masterminded the fall of Arthas and the destruction of Lordaeron, began to send the Cultists of the Damned to infiltrate the armies of the Alliance and the Horde to sabotage the expeditionary forces on both sides. And the Horde's Warsong Farm and the Coalition's massacre in Zhiyuan County are the successful conspiracy of this Great Lich.

However, a wise man must make a mistake, and even Kel'thugad did not expect that the determination of both the Alliance and the Horde would be so resolute. It is better to lose cities and strongholds, but also to fight the Scourge to the end, and at the same time, to transport a steady stream of supplies to Northrend by sea. With the full operation of the two war machines in Azeroth, the Scourge finally showed signs of decline in the war.

―――――――― the dividing line of the nonsense――――――――

In the middle of the altar, in the midst of the prayers of the acolyte, a purple light suddenly lit up, and then, a phantus more than ten meters high appeared in the center of the altar, overlooking the army of the undead on the entire plain.

It was a lich, and even if it was only an illusory shadow, it exuded a terrible breath of death, just as everything withered and eventually died. This lich, even if it's just a magical image, brings a great deal of oppression. And under the altar, the praying acolytes, seeing the appearance of the lich in front of them, became even more fanatical, and the prayers became more and more loud in the city.

"Lord Kel'thugad!" At this moment, among the acolytes, the figure of an acolyte walked up to the altar, came to the shadow of the lich, and knelt down respectfully, paying homage to the lich. From this acolyte, we learn that this apparition that appears on the altar is none other than the most notorious lich of the kingdoms of Azeroth, Kel'thugad.

"How's it going?" A loud, hollow voice rang out, and the phantom of Kel'thugad cast its gaze on the tiny mortal who knelt beneath him.

"All the best, my lord!" The acolyte replied, "The altar is working well, and the troops that have been teleported from the point have not attracted the attention of the tribe...... Those lowly mortals did not withdraw their armies, but thought that they could stand up to the great Scourge legion with only the soldiers stationed there. ”

"Very good......" Kel'thugad's voice was like the death chill of Northrend, and even the mere hearing of the words made people shudder.

"But that's not enough...... I'm going to provide you with three floating fortresses to transport troops as a waypoint, and you're going to completely destroy the ants that offend the Scourge Legion......"

"Yes, Lord Kel'thugad!"

"By the way, how are the cultists sent to the tribe going?"

"This ......," said the acolyte, after a pause, "...... I, we, have lost ...... All the news from Varedos ......"

"Huh?"
