Act I: Memories and Beginnings
Under the emerald green light curtain, Locke drove the skeleton horse out of the darkness slowly: "Darkan, good job, the second barrier of Quel'Salas's magic has been dismantled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Standing in front of Locke was a High Elf mage, dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, and a trace of blood regained on his somewhat pale face: "Lord Death Knight, can I really get the power of the Well of the Sun?" ”
Locke didn't speak, he waved his hand, and the undead scourge poured into the Eternal Song Forest like a tide, Locke looked at the forest not far away, and said slowly: "Ahead, is the Windranger army of Quel'Salas, this army that hinders the natural disaster is now exposed in front of our army. ”
"No need for mercy, no need for fear, let the elves know the fate of fighting the natural disaster." Locke drove the skeleton steed forward, and the place where the skeletal steed withered everywhere.
This was followed by an endless army of natural disasters, and in the midst of the many undead hordes, Darkan's face, which had already recovered its blood, was instantly bloodless: "Lord Knight, what I said ......"
But then there was a sneer, and Locke looked at Darkan with his blue flame eyes: "The energy of the Well of the Sun will be used to resurrect Kel'thugad, and Kelthugad, who has absorbed the power of the Well of the Sun, will become the strongest assistant in the hands of my king." ”
"Your addiction, the natural disaster will solve it for you." Locke raised his hand, and the skeletal war horse under his crotch rushed towards the Windranger army not far away, he clearly knew that the three forces of Quel'Thalas, the Windrunner Ranger Army, the Quel'Salas Noble Alliance, and the King's own army would soon fall into the raging flames.
A hot fireball dragged the air currents towards Locke, but was resisted by Locke's anti-magic shield, and he said in a voice characteristic of the Death Knight, "We ...... Oppression of sentient beings. ”
………………
A bolt of lightning lit up the sky in the dark clouds, and then a thunderbolt woke Locke from his sleep, gasping out of bed, his hands on his beating heart, a panicked look on his face, and then he stretched out his hand.
A skull quickly appeared on the palm of his hand, and this silver-white skull slowly appeared in the palm of his hand, which was the mark of the natural disaster.
Shadra's slender figure emerged beside the bed, and Shadra transformed into a High Elf: "I can feel a great force awakening from the north...... This power is very much connected with you. ”
A wry smile appeared on Locke's face, and he got dressed from the bed: "Arthas...... Frost Sorrow had been pulled out, and even the Northrend Elemental Lord's hindrance had not hindered him. ”
"Frost Sorrow?" Shadra looked puzzled.
Locke gently stroked the railing on the wooden window: "A huge rune sword, but a rune sword is not terrible, terrible is the power of the rune sword." ”
Frost Grief has great power, not only the Dreadlord used a lot of soul to forge this rune sword, but also the soul of the Lich King is pinned on the blade.
After Nao Ao Zu was frozen, his spiritual power increased by leaps and bounds, and even infinitely approached the power of a demigod, becoming the first orc in the orc tribe to become a demigod.
Shadra nodded slightly, and then walked to Locke's side: "I can feel how powerful this power is, although I can feel the large amount of divine power in Azeroth, but the creature that releases the divine power so unscrupulously is still ...... First encounter. ”
Locke nodded, it had been about ten days since he returned to the Valley of Refuge, and he did not return to Fort Riptide as soon as possible, but returned to his fiefdom in the Valley of Refuge and began to form an army for the Northern Expedition to Hinterland, which also surprised the nobles living in Fort Rapids, but Locke never needed to ask for their opinions, so it didn't matter.
The Valley of Refuge has changed a lot from the time Locke left, and under Locke's orders, all the inhabitants of the valley floor were moved to the vicinity of Darbire's Farm, forming a small town, and this area is a hub connecting trolls, ogre tribes and Riptide Castle, and the caravans have made this town not so dilapidated.
"My city......" Locke muttered as he stared at Hinterland.
During this time, after returning to Riptide Castle, although Locke was still worried about the threat of natural disasters in the north, reason told Locke that it was the right thing to do to take advantage of the time when Alsace went north to conquer the evil branch tribe, otherwise he simply did not have enough strength to fight the impending natural disaster.
"By the way, what do you think of the title of Duke of Hinterland?" Locke looked at the map next to the bed and asked suddenly.
On the desk was a military map, carefully drawn with all the resources, gathering places, and road messages in the Hinterland mountains.
Seeing this map, Locke's face showed a hint of relief, the long-term layout of Hinterland is finally able to enter the mountains today, you must know that the reason why Lordaeron and Riptide Fort did not start a colonial war against Hinterland is because of its complex form.
Shadra looked out the window at the gloomy sky, the sky was dark, it was raining heavily, and from time to time a flash of lightning crossed the sky, and it was possible to see the great changes in the whole Arathi Heights, that is, the population had increased very much, and the dense population made Shadra shrug his shoulders, and humans were such a very multiplying race, and they could not hinder these at all.
She walked over to Locke, knowing in her heart that Riptide Castle's army was already at full capacity, whether it was the ironclad cavalry of Alterant, the forest trolls and ogres, this huge army had made the already barren highlands even more barren.
Although this military force cannot be compared with any human kingdom in the north, it is very easy to set foot on the forest trolls of Hinterland.
Shadra looked at Locke in front of him and said, "Not very well, I would say that there is no road from the Arahigao region to the mountains of Hinterland that your army can cross. ”
Locke snapped his fingers, then said, "I've been ready for a long time, three days ago, I asked a goblin to contact the Hot Sand Group, and I wanted to borrow money to build a road from Arathi to Hinterland. ”
Historically, the dwarves of the Brute Hammer tribe would build a passage in three years, and now Locke can't wait that long. The dreams of these days have been a reminder of what Locke is about to encounter in the near future.
"It's nothing, and in Hinterland, I feel like someone is calling for my flesh to come to Azeroth." (To be continued.) )
