Chapter 780: Immortal Scourges and the Burning Legion
The five years following the end of the Draenor Expedition were arguably the most turbulent era in Dalaran since the founding of the kingdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the first two years, Kenrito gradually entered the Big Bang period, not only did the various arcane factions develop at an astonishing rate, faintly showing the framework of a complete faction, the magic turrets and Arcane golem guards were constantly updated, and the popularity of magic was unstoppable.
In the ever-growing magical enchantment, winter is no longer cold, summer is no longer hot, magic cars have replaced horse-drawn carriages, hanging gardens have been established, small structures with cleaning spells attached to them have always made the city look spotless, and the light of magic lamps has made the night as bright as day, all of which have turned the life of the entire city upside down.
While the kingdoms of Lordaeron and Azeroth have become more and more prosperous as they develop and recover, the magical kingdoms of Dalaran and Ranquel Salas seem to have become two worlds with other countries.
Glory was followed by contradictions and conflicts, and in the third year, the antagonism between Dalaran and the alliance became apparent.
No matter what world or era, the factors that really affect a world pattern will always be power and interests, and the disappearance of the threat of orcs has made the people in power shift their attention to this aspect, in this case, the strong rise of the Kenrito Council has directly made the relationship between Dalaran and the Kingdom of Lordaeron delicate, and the gap between them is too great, which makes the already arrogant mages even more arrogant, even if the nobles in other countries who are in power are not taken into account by them, It was as if only those who also possessed magical powers were entitled to be treated as equals with them.
Whether it is the entanglement of interests and power, or the difference in attitudes caused by the superiority in the minds of the Kenrito mages, it is inevitable that the relationship between the two magic-dominated kingdoms and the other countries will deteriorate, and Dalaran and Quel'Salas seem to have been separated from this alliance.
In the fourth year, Dalaran produced two events in a row that shook the entire Kenrito, the defection of the Kenreto Councillor Kel'thugad and the theft of the Book of Medivan.
Kel'thugad, who had betrayed Dalaran under the temptation of the Lich King and joined the Lich King to found the Cult of the Cursed God, actually chose to abandon the position of Councilor at the peak of Dalaran's incomparably brilliant and powerful, Kenrito Council, and threw himself to the Lich King just like the original historical trajectory, the only difference is that this former Councillor defected and stole the Book of Medivan at the same time.
Different from the original historical trajectory, the Gul'dan Shadow Council did not choose to flee, but devoted all its strength to the war with the Alliance, which also made the power of the demon warlocks and death knights under his command fully displayed in front of Kel'thugad, and the plundering and research of demonic magic knowledge after the war in Dalaran further intensified his obsession with shadow magic.
So far, the councillor is very satisfied with Dalaran, and still thinks that this is the ideal magical shrine in his mind, but then Kel'thugad has a disagreement with the Kenrito Council regarding the attitude towards shadow magic.
Derlandon and Antonidas's attitude is clear, although some of these knowledge and skills can indeed be absorbed and used, but these evil magic must be resolutely abandoned, and Kel'thugad believes that the undead army is the ideal weapon of war, and should fully study the use of shadow magic.
If it were just these academic contradictions, then Kel'thugad might not have made this choice, but when he saw the completely different behaviors of those mages who so-called abandon the power of shadows, saw that they said that it was strictly forbidden to contact the otherworldly plane, but in fact continued to absorb magical energy from them, and saw the various actions made by those mages after their arrogance and superiority were extremely inflated, he gradually developed different thoughts in his heart.
And the more important factor that led to Kel'thugad's betrayal was that it was no longer the Lich King who summoned him, but the second leader of the Burning Legion, Kilgardan the Fraudster.
Whether it is the Lich King Neozu who was imprisoned by the ice in the depths of the twisted void in history, or the Lich King Gul'dan who is full of demonic chaotic power in his body, it is undoubtedly too much worse than Kil'Gardan, an Ereda Warlock with the name of a fraudster, whether it is Dang Neozu, Gul'dan, Illidan or Kael'thas, almost everyone who is chosen by him cannot resist, and Kel'thugad, a mage with a heart for darkness, is even more unlikely to be spared, and Ivy's secret promotion directly led to the theft of Medivan's art.
For the Burning Legion, in fact, both orcs and humans are essentially targets that need to be destroyed, it is nothing more than a different order of destruction, and it is not unacceptable for humans to play the role of this slaughterer and slaughter the orcs.
Now that the orcs have been wiped out, and the only surviving Gul'dan has also been transformed into an undead legion under the control of the Burning Legion, humans and the High Elves have been greatly injured in two consecutive wars, and the most important thing is the death of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstassa, which directly caused the relationship between the guardian dragon and the alliance to fall to a freezing point, and there is no longer any possibility of cooperation, so it seems that the time has come to launch a general attack on Azeroth.
Unlike the original Cult of the Damned, which was infiltrated step by step, the undead scourge now chooses a path of destruction paved with blood and killing, and as the dead orcs return to this world as undead, the ancient demons in the tomb of Sargeras continue to awaken.
For today's alliance, although the influence of Kel'thugad's betrayal may be limited to the Kenrito Council, the influence of the theft of the Book of Medivan is undoubted, which directly reminds those rulers of the catastrophe of Medivan, but the demons of the Nasrezm clan have quietly invaded various countries through disguise, and the increasingly intensified contradictions between various countries and Kenrito, the shirk of responsibility, and selfishness and greed have made this alliance on the verge of splitting and unable to unite at all. It had no idea that the door to the Twisted Void had been opened under the urging of the power of the Eye of Sargeras.
The short-lived peace lasted less than five years, and the catastrophe that swept the entire world suddenly came, and the Scourge legions, which had already been assembled in the depths of the Endless Sea, frantically poured into Lordaeron, and a huge Eredar demon with gray-purple skin and dark golden armor descended on Azeroth with hellfire falling from the sky like a torrential rain..................
