Chapter 260: The Betrayal of the Bird
His Royal Highness Prince Alsace has finally arrived on the continent of the Eastern Kingdom.
He and his remnants landed from the ruins of Southsea Town in the Hillsbrad Hills, where the kingdom of Alterac had been wiped out, and with the fall of the royal family of Lordaeron, the vast hills had become a chaotic borderland.
What? You say Dalaran?
Well, since Dalaran was destroyed by Akmund, the surviving mages have built an opaque dark purple hemispherical arcane shield that envelopes the ruins of the entire city, and the outside world has no idea what is going on in the city.
Now Dalaran is completely closed off from the country, not allowed to enter or leave, and the mages inside are busy rebuilding their homes.
Arthas could no longer control these former enemies, and he was riding his beloved horse invincible all the way east.
Now he is extremely weak, and the Lich King has been battered, which has also caused his power to continue to drain.
The control of the undead legion is now worse than day by day.
Therefore, Arthas will go to meet the Great Lich Kel'thugad and explain the affairs of the Eastern Kingdom Continent, and then he will set off for the sea again and head north to the Northrend Continent.
The Lich King's call for him is becoming more and more urgent, so he must hurry back to the Frozen Throne as soon as possible to save the Lich King's faltering soul.
But when he entered the area of the Silver Pine Forest, he was unsurprisingly met with various obstacles.
It's Sylvanas's goddamn elf bitch!
She has now gathered a legion of undead who have regained their free will, and has founded a shadowy new city beneath the ruins of the former capital of Lordaeron: the Undercity.
They call themselves the Forsaken and seek the fiercest revenge on the Lich King and Arthas.
If Alsace were more orientalized, it is estimated that at this moment he would have to shout "regret that he should not have listened to Kel'thugad".
At the time, the Grand Lich expressed concern about killing and resurrecting Sylvanas, and advised Arthas to return Sylvanas and her descendants to the Titan Avatar of Kalimdor, and then lower his posture to explain it.
Arthas, this young man didn't listen, now it's okay, the dark queen who has been plotting for a long time really seized the opportunity to rebel, and stabbed the undead in the back.
The Silverpine Forest, which once belonged to the hinterland of the Scourge of the Dead, is now dangerous, and Arthas and his remnants of the Death Knights are afraid to take the road for fear of encountering the Forsaken scouts who search and patrol everywhere.
However, Arthas and his party were eventually discovered, and a large number of pursuers soon appeared behind the buttocks.
Sou!
An arrow flowing with shadow energy trembled slightly in front of Arthas.
The prince turned his head to see Sylvanas standing on a large towering rock not far away, holding a longbow and looking at him with mocking eyes.
At the same time, elite forces of the Forsaken are constantly appearing in the forest, trying to surround the Alsace group.
"Look who this is, Lordaeron's first filial son, His Royal Highness the respected Prince of Arthas, what a rarity... Although I would love to invite you to the Undercity to experience the taste of those new torture instruments ... Well, I'm not going to kill you today, I'm going to give you a taste of betrayal, and let you see your legion fall apart... Then, I'll hand you out on the Frozen Throne. ”
Then, the Dark Queen bent her bow and landed a strange arrow tied to it with a wriggling mass of flesh.
The arrow whizzed out, trembling slightly on the ground in front of Arthas.
The next moment, a frantic whisper rang out in the minds of Arthas and the few remaining Death Knights behind him.
These Death Knights were all royal elite guards of Lordaeron before their deaths, or the new paladins of the Silver Hand, and at this moment, their bodies shook violently, and their eyes flashed violently with ice blue light, and there were many different looks in an instant.
At this moment, Arthas suddenly felt a palpitation, and he violently urged Invincible to run forward, causing the slash of the rune sword behind him to fall into the air.
"Arthas, you damned traitor, you are responsible for what happened to Lordaeron!"
The Death Knights, who had regained their free will, roared and drove their horses to catch up.
"Stop, let this bereaved dog run, our prince will get the end he deserves, but not now. Sylvanas's voice came from the towering stone not far away.
Most of the Death Knights paused, thought for a moment, then rolled over and dismounted, bowing to Sylvanas.
New era, new ideas, Lordaeron has fallen, the world of the living no longer accepts them, if you want to continue to live with dignity, then taking refuge in the forgotten is the only option.
The Death Knights are not stupid, and after their deaths, many people have seen it.
Dead have died, what else can't be put down?
"As you wish, Queen of Darkness. ”
Sylvanas squinted coldly at the remaining two Death Knights who were still chasing Arthas.
She pulled the pure black "Queen's Elegy" in her hand seemingly casually, did not take out the arrow and put it on it, directly raised the longbow, and pulled the bowstring twice seemingly casually.
The two Death Knights suddenly stopped suddenly, looked down at their chests, and a terrifying wound slowly appeared, and the black shadow energy was like maggots attached to the bones, and soon corroded the chests of the two Death Knights into a large hole that penetrated the heart.
There was a dull sound of landing, and the two Death Knights fell from their horses, lay on the ground and struggled for a few moments, and finally fell asleep again.
The rest of the Death Knight bowed their heads when they saw this, and they were in awe of the ruthless Queen of Darkness.
"The Forsaken don't need a prick, the Undercity doesn't need traitors who dare to disobey my orders, I can give you free will, and I can take it back. ”
The Queen of Darkness put away her longbow and tumbled over the towering stone, and a richly decorated black chocobo caught her master.
This is Sylvanas's land chocobo mount from the vast forest of eternal songs, and now follows his master into undead form, and Sylvanas has not forgotten to free her own Gollum after freeing herself from the Lich King's control.
This black undead chocobo, named Coo, is now a living ancestor-level existence of the Undercity...
A large number of forsaken people who were royal equestrians of Lordaeron in their lifetimes now take care of the Dark Queen's favorite mount, and although it is not a war horse, it is not much worse, is it.
Raising birds and horses should have a lot in common... bar.
And the Dreadlord Varimathas, who has become the prime minister of the Undercity, the queen's deputy, and assists Sylvanas in managing various government affairs, has repeatedly advised himself, the stubborn queen, that you should always change to a powerful skeleton warhorse, this is called... Hey, well, for the Dreadlord, saying those two words is an insult.
This undead chocobo, named Coo, has no use for eggs at all, but will become a drag.
This fat-headed, big-eared Chocobo of the Yongge Forest is extremely timid, and it can't charge, let alone have any attack ability, and it doesn't run very fast... Except for flapping her wings to her hostess, it's useless. . .
But soon, no one dared to ask Gollum to be laid off, because the current Sylvanas was different from the predetermined fate, she volunteered to become the Queen of Darkness, and her heart was not occupied by hatred, so her personality did not change much.
So apart from not breathing and her eyes were blood-red, Queen Xi was no different from the living in any other way, and she still liked the things she loved when she was alive.
After Varimathas's attempted attempt to kill Gollum and his subsequent torture by the Dark Queen, no one in the Undercity dared to disagree.
Okay, well, you will continue to ride this bird, this bird is good, this bird is one in ten thousand, this bird is elegant, very in line with your old noble leader temperament!
