Chapter 146: A Shocking Meeting
Terenus stood up and said in a deep voice, "Guardians of Azeroth, we are all gathered today because the world we have lived in for generations is facing an unprecedented catastrophe - the Lich King of Northrend has awakened, and a cursed scourge is coming. This is a catastrophe for all races, all forces, all intelligent beings who are not willing to be enslaved, and we must unite to defeat it! ”
"Half a year ago, the Scourge was for us the sneaky necromancers and their corpses and bones that roamed the dungeons of Keldaron."
Hearing this, Arthas couldn't help but think of his shameful defeat again. To this day, he is still unforgettable.
"Then they became a plague that took half of Stratholme's life. It has become an army of Broken Ridge that has brought us great losses. ”
At this moment, the commander of the Silver Hand, Da Sohan, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The deaths of Gavin Rad and Alonsos, as well as Stratholme, who still comes and goes, make him hate natural disasters immensely.
And more than two months ago, a natural disaster turned Lordaeron's neighbor Gilneth into a land of the dead. On the other side of the Wall of Greymane, there are only hundreds of thousands of undead left! ”
Princess Tess, no, it's Queen Tess now, and she can't help but have tears in her eyes. All of her family members died in that disaster, and her beloved brother was also on the path of depravity and is now missing.
The last time the Gilneth Scourge had gone awry, she had seen her father commanding the Scourge on the front line of the Burning Wood Village.
"The power of natural disasters is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't do something now, we'll have nothing to do in the future! Terenus said, "More than a month ago, the Valoran Federation's Führer Jiang Weihan led a brave and fearless squad to raid the Northrend Lich King's lair. Originally, they were on the verge of success, but because of some obstruction. These heroes have suffered defeats. Even His Excellency Jiang Weihan is nowhere to be found. ”
"When I heard the news, I was shocked and ashamed. They did what should have been done by all of us here. If we had agreed to his proposal at that meeting, perhaps we would be sitting here celebrating the victory. Instead of thinking about countermeasures with a sad face. ”
"The threat of natural disasters is imminent, and we are gathered here. There is only one purpose - and that is how to fight and defeat natural disasters. Terenus pointed to the seat on the right. They were all involved in this battle themselves, and you should listen to what the words Scourge and Lich King that we have been mentioning for half a year represent. ”
Sitting in the seats here are Kyle, Anna, and Mograini.
Kyle didn't want to speak, and Anna's identity was unknown to most people, so it was not appropriate to be the first to speak. So Mograine stood up and said, "Then I'll do it first." ”
"Forty days ago, His Excellency Jiang Weihan secretly set off on a warship with his soldiers. Travel to Northrend to raid the Frozen Throne. I joined them when I was in Nanhai Town. He was accompanied by the mage Ronin and the orc warrior Varok. Sarufar. ”
Hearing the orcs involved in the operation, there were many voices of doubt in the conference room expressing their dissatisfaction. But no one interrupted directly. There is now a growing need for reconciliation and even union between humans and orcs, and even if the orcs brought war and death to most of the countries and peoples here in the last war, they still have to take into account the imminent threat of natural disasters. Accepting orcs will be the general trend.
"We landed at Dreadnought Fortress. Joined the Silver Pact of Weenlesa, a coalition she had built with the native races of Northrend to fight the Scourge. Guided by the Spider-Man, we then reached Icecrown Glacier through the Guò Underground Passage and launched a surprise attack on Icecrown Fortress. ”
"We went straight in. The Lich King was completely unaware of our actions. Upon opening the final teleportation array leading to the Frozen Throne, a blue dragon appeared. He stopped us like crazy. ”
Crassus's heart lifted. He only knew that the operation had failed, and did not know the specific details. Blue Dragon? He couldn't help but guess that it couldn't be Malygos! However, this suspicion was immediately confirmed.
"That's Malygos, the King of the Blue Dragons, a crazy dragon." Mograini's voice revealed undisguised disgust, "His Excellency Jiang Weihan left more than two thousand fighters and several heroes to hold him back. Then lead the rest of our 23 heroes on the Frozen Throne - and just as we were about to kill his last minions, another bronze dragon appeared. ”
Crassus's heart sank completely. He had just heard countless people cursing at Malygos. His actions are reminiscent of the Red Dragons who were enslaved in the last war. He couldn't argue with it, except for the green dragon that didn't walk in the real world right now. All other dragons have brought disaster to humanity. He has been working hard to reverse the image of dragons in people's minds, and the Red Dragon Queen's life essence would have brought him close to success, but it seems that Malygos and Nozdom have screwed up again.
"The Lord of Time, Nozdom, as His Excellency Jiang Weihan called him. This is a dragon crazier than Deathwing - not only is he preventing us from destroying the Lich King himself, but he's summoned a group of helpers out of nowhere to help the Lich King kill us! It was he who used the power of an hourglass artifact to make His Excellency Jiang Weihan disappear. Mograini's voice was high-pitched, and his expression was even angrier than before. I swear, I'm going to make this dragon pay! ”
"Please calm down. Paladin Mograini. Seeing that he was excited, Uther couldn't help but soothe.
"I'm sorry. I'm a little out of shape. But I can't calm down—do you know what the dragon has summoned? He grimaced, "He's summoned a group of helpers from Azeroth on another plane. I killed myself with my own hands - His Excellency Jiang Weihan told me that it was the future of the other time and space that had fallen me - his name was Mograini, and he was a death knight! ”
"This, how is this possible!"
"Incredible......
"Is it an illusion or a spell?" Someone speculated. Hardly anyone who did not personally participate in that battle would believe such a statement.
Only Crassus was convinced. He knew the power of the Eternal, Nozdom. He can do that. But this fact made his heart ache even more—Nozdom, Malygos, did they know what they were doing?
"That's not an illusion. I can attest to it. Anna stood up at this point.
All the skeptics looked at each other, "How can you prove it?" ”
"Because of me, I'm one of the people summoned by Nosdorm." Anna took a deep breath and said something that shocked all who didn't know.
Dai Lin always felt that this female mage gave him a familiar feeling, but he was sure that he did not have the impression of her. "And who are you?"
"I am Anna, the guardian of Tirisfa." Anna didn't dare to look at Dalin, and she said the answer.
Antonidas said, "I can prove it. The predecessor of the Dalaran Kenrito Council was the Council of Tirisfa. ”
Kael'thas said, "I can prove it, too." More than 2,000 years ago, the High Elves helped human mages establish this guardian organization. He didn't know the human mage, but he questioned, "As far as I know, Medivan is the last mage. And you Anna Lady, you? ”
"I am one of the proponents of the future rebuilding of the Council of Tirisfa." Anna spoke out about this fact.
"Then I don't have any doubts." Kael'thas nodded politely. Then sit down.
Terenus asked, "Then why are you here?" Can we trust you? ”
"I have come to atone for my sins. I will dedicate my allegiance to the Alliance. Anna bowed her head, repentance and excitement in her tone.
I don't know why, Gianna always felt that her heart had become uneasy when she saw her. But it was obviously the first time she had seen this white-haired female mage.
Muradin asked, "Who else did the dragon summon?" We need to know a little bit more clearly. If he summons another me, you don't have to show mercy. Beat him up! The dwarf's tone was heroic and optimistic. There was a low laugh from everyone.
But not everyone can laugh. Because those who are called may be what they will be in the future. Just like Mograine, who could have imagined him becoming a Death Knight as a powerful paladin lord with a long-standing reputation and now an artifact that fights against the scourge, Ember Bringer?
"Ladies and gentlemen, if that will be my fate, please when I am on the wrong path. Kill me mercilessly. Mograine muttered, "Those left behind on the Frozen Throne are fighting for the Scourge. You really should know what kind of opponent you will face. I vouch for the paladin's reputation, and the people mentioned below are what I have seen with my own eyes. ”
The atmosphere in the conference room grew heavy. Even the most open-minded people are afraid to hear their names in it.
"I want to say," this is Crassus stepping up. He had to stand up before the list was spoken, "I know Nozdom, and I know how he summons those on another plane. What I want to say is that if you hear your name and your fate, don't be discouraged. The future is changing, just as Lady Anna came to us from another time and space. She has been through our current history before, but I'm sure it's in the history she knows. There was no such self in the hall of the Coalition General Assembly, swearing allegiance to the Coalition. Am I right. Ms. Anna? He looked at the other man. The other man nodded.
"So, the accomplices of those scourges on the Frozen Throne are not our future. We must not succumb to fate and allow ourselves to go down the dark path! Go ahead, Lord Mograini! He sat down.
Mograini smiled at the other man, and he felt relieved to hear this. In fact, he hasn't slept a single peaceful sleep in the past few days. When I closed my eyes, I thought back to myself on the Frozen Throne with the fallen Ash Bringer, the Death Knight he had slain with his own hands, and I was afraid that I would become like that in the future.
Now he is no longer worried, he is convinced that he will be extremely vigilant!
Mograine said, "In addition to the ones we have killed, there are still five people left in the alternate plane summoned by Nozdorm. In addition to Lady Anna, who was already by my side, there was the Lich Kel'thugad. ”
The name relieved everyone. This was originally a traitor, and no one cared. Kill him one more time at most.
"The Banshee King—Sylvanas."
There was a low cry from the room. It's a name that most of you are familiar with. But the title of "Banshee King" is extremely unfamiliar to them.
The Ranger General was arranging Quel'Thalas' defenses, so he didn't come. When Kael'thas heard her name, his heart couldn't help but tense - he remembered his previous guess again, did Silvermoon City really fall in the future?
"The Blood Elf Prince - Kael'thas. The Sunchaser. ”
Now there were exclamations, "Blood Elves"? But Kael'thas is sitting here, and he's obviously the prince of the High Elves!
Kael'thas was almost completely stunned, and everyone stared at him. He just felt like the world was spinning. I only remembered what Jiang Weihan had warned him at the beginning: The title of High Elf will no longer exist zài-Blood Elf? Did they change the name of the clan they had been proud of for thousands of years for revenge?
What kind of blood feud would that be!
"The last one," Mograini looked in the direction of Arthas, and the sensitive prince noticed it almost immediately. His heart was in his throat, but the other party still said the name:
"Arthas, the Lich King!"
There was a dead silence in the conference room, and so was Arthas's heart. He remembered the time when Gianna cried and begged him not to touch Northrend's frost sorrow in the future—he promised her. The two also got back together that night.
"The Lich King", the word kept ringing in his head, "The Lich King - Arthas", no wonder Jiang Weihan would warn him many times, because he already knew?
The dead silence in the conference room had long since been broken by the first voice. Everyone here now has a shocked expression, and their voices are high and low expressing all kinds of thoughts. Anna looked at Arthas, who was stunned in her seat, and her heart became very sad. She had almost witnessed the fall of Arthas in the past, and now she would not allow such a thing to happen again!
Her gaze hardened.
Gianna stretched out her hand and clasped Arthas's big hand tightly, and said anxiously, "Arthas, Arthas, wake up - that's just a possibility for the future!" You have to believe in yourself! ”
Arthas felt the warmth in his palm, and he gripped it like a life-saving straw, and Gianna felt like her hand was about to break. She gritted her teeth to keep herself from making the slightest painful sound.
"No, I won't—how could I—" Arthas muttered, his mind completely confused, and in this moment he felt that all his pride had been shattered, that he had failed to live up to everyone's expectations of him, that everyone who looked at him was disappointed or sarcastic, and that his heart was torn apart.
"Do you hear that, Arthas, now the Lich King is Darkan! Did you hear that? Gianna shook Arthas's hand in joy when she heard Mograine say that it was Darkan who had put on the Helm of Dominion, "Do you hear me, it's not you the Lich King?" ”
"It's not me!" Alsace's eyes shone a little. (To be continued) R580
