Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fall of the King's Power and the Death of the Dark Shepherd (Part II)
It is no wonder that many people in later generations will think that the spread of the plague of the undead that swept through everything at the beginning may be a conspiracy of the Holy Araso Empire.
Because it is indeed indisputable that its appearance, in a very short period of time, contributed to the completion of the unification of the human race in Azeroth by the Holy Arath's Empire.
The fiefdom nobles of the old era, faced with the undead threat of death and destruction, had to give up all the power of the hereditary lords.
And then, the fall of Archbishop Benedictas, who was once popular in the southern part of the continent of the Eastern Kingdom, was replaced by the true God of God in a short period of time, when the influence of the Three Virtues was comparable to that of the Yahweh faith.
When the plague of the dead receded, a powerful and powerful Holy Empire with a population of 50,000 and unprecedented in the history of Azeroth appeared on the land of the Eastern Kingdom Continent, and initially showed the appearance of the King's Landing to unify the entire planetΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
The 19th year of the Holy Light Cross Calendar "Diary of the Archmage"

The solemn Cathedral of the Three Virtues of Light was once one of the largest single churches in the southeast corner of the entire royal city of Lordaeron, and countless nobles and commoners prayed to the Three Virtues in this magnificent building.
But then, in the years after the construction of the Church of the Holy Cross in Lordaeron, directly opposite it, on the northwest side of the Intraura, fewer and fewer devotees visited the Cathedral of the Three Virtues every year.
It seems to be powerful, but in fact, the scattered Azeroth Primordial Three Virtues Sect of the Holy Light has absorbed the thousand-year-old missionary experience of the Earth Alliance, and has the organization, means, and backstage Yahweh Cross Church, and in just a few years, the low-level influence has been replaced by more than half.
However, after all, the Three Virtues Holy Light Sect has inherited the legacy of the previous archbishop, the legendary priest Alonthos Fao, although most of the influence at the bottom has been replaced by the Holy Light Cross Church, most of the powerful people in the six countries of the alliance have been vigorously supporting its development in order to resist the invasion of the ideological realm of the Holy Arathor Empire.
With the Three Virtues of the Holy Light as a dogma, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the Silver Hand Knights are becoming more and more powerful children of the six countries of the alliance human race, which is a very obvious example.
From this point of view, although most of the low-level beliefs in the alliance human countries have been replaced by the Yahweh Church, the influence of the upper elites of the Three Virtues Sect has expanded a lot, and on the whole, it can barely maintain a situation with the Yahweh Church.
However, just before His Majesty King Lordaeron heard the loud sound that spread throughout the royal city.
In the core hall of the Cathedral of the Three Virtues of Light, a group of figures whose faces were completely obscured by the hooded priest's robes firmly surrounded a man and a woman in the middle.
On the ground, a huge evil circle carved most of it in blood still shimmered with a distorted and dim glow.
"Your Highness Arthas, you have disappointed me."
"I originally thought that you would be my strongest ally in the fight against Divine Yahweh."
Archbishop Benedictas stood behind these hooded priests with a gloomy face, surrounded by the once very pure white light that surrounded his body, and at some point began to be dyed with a hint of the faint yellow characteristic of the twilight.
"But I didn't expect you to discover my biggest secret."
With Benedictas's words, the sunset-like light on his body completely transformed from divine to pitch-black void shadow power in the blink of an eye.
Complex and evil patterns began to spread from his chest to his face, transforming the once kind and benevolent middle-aged human priest into a ruthless, twisted and monstrous half-void creature.
"No!"
"Bishop Benedictas, you, how can you fall?"
Arthas will secretly pass through the Dalaran teleportation array, and Gianna, the magical girl who ran to date him, will protect him, and look at the scene in front of him with a broken heart.
Because the undead natural disaster broke out several years earlier than the original history, our young prince His Royal Highness had to stop the experience that had just begun.
Without experience, he naturally cannot obtain the approval of his father now, and obtain the right to independently lead the army to attack the undead, so he can only hide in the thick walls of the royal city, in a sense, the fate of the famous "filial son" of Azeroth in the future has been changed by the Messiah.
However, God may have mercy, our current immature prince really does not have the slightest idea of coming to probe the secrets of the fallen archbishop.
The reason why he and Gianna secretly chose to date at the Church of the Three Virtues was because the scenery and environment here were really good, with a huge church garden and gorgeous square; On the other hand, it is also because, in the current form of the fierce form, everyone in this church, including Archbishop Benedictas, should have gone to the front line to assist the kingdom's army in cleaning up the undead, and this place should have been empty.
"Is this really a coincidence?"
Seeing the young man and girl in front of him holding his right hand with his left hand, with a frightened and frightened little look, the power of the void shadow on Benedictas boiled for a while.
Could it be that I was wrong? Did they really happen to find out about the rituals of my Twilighthammer Church?
The fallen archbishop was a little puzzled, because in his spiritual perception, there was indeed no other outsider around the church except for this little couple.
"Your Royal Highness, I am not a depravity."
But soon our archbishop Benedictas gave up thinking, since it has been discovered by the second generation of the two alliances in front of him, let's use them to assimilate them first, and let them cling to our lord Cthun.
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and the powerful power of the Void Shadow from the evil being he believed in condensed into two long whips of dim energy on the archbishop's shoulders, and pounced on Arthas and Gianna like poisonous snakes.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"
One after another, the two alliance second-generation bodies were activated one after another solid magic defense props, but they were instantly eroded and pierced by the power of the void shadows on the two energy whips.
In an instant, a young and delicious little couple was tightly bound by two long whips of energy and fell into a coma.
"Servants of my lord, prepare the Faceless Transformation Ritual at once."
Subduing two young men who are less than the rank of heroes is only a trivial matter for the fallen Archbishop Benedictas, who has transformed into the state of a Shadow Priest and stepped into the rank of Legend with half a foot.
He said indifferently to the hooded robes beside him, the subordinates of the Twilight Hammer Church.
"Let's welcome the birth of two new compatriots together!"
Then, he turned around in style.
He didn't notice that at the moment when the Void Shadow Energy Whip bound Arthas, a holy cross made of oak that was given to him by his brother-in-law, His Majesty Emperor Karen Lothar, began to glow with a glittering and holy light on his chest, which was covered by His Royal Highness's shirtΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

In the Divine Kabbalah Kingdom of Life, the Messiah, standing on the clouds, looking down on the kingdom of God in the sky, with the aura of angels on his head, suddenly raised his head and frowned slightly.
Did any of my followers come into contact with the Old Gods?
The Holy Cross is one of the iconic symbols of the Yahweh Church, and any Holy Cross that is strictly made according to the standards of the Yahweh Bible has the basic role of communicating the Messianic idea and carrying a trace of his divine incarnation after being consecrated by the priesthood.
"Great God, has something happened?"
In the distance, the Seraph Angel Chang Mier, who was dressed as a female secretary and took care of a group of little angels, frowned when he saw the god he served, and instantly asked respectfully behind the Messiah.
"Nothing, I just found something interesting!"
There is a glimmer of heaven in the vast will of God's mind, which derives from the surface of the planet Azeroth.
In an instant, everything around the young couple of Arthas and Gianna had been identified by the Messiah.
At this time, the two young men were tied to two pillars by the men of the fallen archbishop, and below the pillars were two huge and pitch-black evil god circles.
The two of them were surrounded by dozens of Twilighthammer followers in black robes, holding torches in their hands and chanting incantations in their mouths, and they were gradually enveloped in the demonic patterns derived from the evil god circle below.
The Messiah, who saw all this, suddenly thought of something, and his mood suddenly improved.
"That's what happens to the current charge, haha!"
Our holy God, at this time the thought of evil taste.
With a slight movement in his heart, the Messiah grabbed a trace of the divine power of the flame from the city of supplicants on the heavenly ground, condensed into an "FFF" shape, and secretly transmitted it by him to the cross on Arthas's chest.
Soon, the fluorescence on the cross instantly began to redden, cracking into fine cracks.
The explosive divine flame energy has already seen through the cracks, looming.
And then.
"Boom!"
