Chapter 188: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Who are you?!"
Everyone looked at the bell tower in unison, and when a figure covered in black robe appeared, the surrounding zombies stopped moving, waving and licking their claws in place.
It's clear that these rotten creatures of darkness are greeting their masters in their own way.
"Who am I?, Your Highness the Prince, aren't you here for me?"
The necromancer limped through the corpses with a wooden staff, and walked towards Arthas and the others, "My name is Kel'thugad, and I am also a messenger of the Dark Providence. ”
The familiar name made Gianna, who was standing behind Arthas, reach out and cover her mouth, and gasp in her heart.
But Kel'thugad didn't bother to bother with these strange things, he smiled and went on in a cold tone: "I have come here to convey a warning, you had better stay away, or your curiosity will bring... Only death!!"
"It's terrible! It's terrible!!"
Digor patted his chest comically, as his mortar squad was surrounded by cavalry.
Starting from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, facing the sudden appearance of Kel'thugad, Farrar felt the pressure for the first time, and the sixth-order knight couldn't help but tighten the giant blade in his hand, and whispered a reminder: "Your Royal Highness, be careful! I can feel that the dark aura on this person's body is too heavy!"
"I know, General Falar. ”
Even though Farrar didn't say anything, Arthas sensed the astonishing dark power that spread around him, and he squinted his eyes and stared intently at Kel'thugad, the warhammer in his hand shining brightly.
At the same time, the soldiers behind Arthas were also nervously entering a state of readiness, facing a necromancer who had never dealt with before, they had to fight with all their might, after all, purifying the world of all evil, was the oath they had taken when they joined the Silver Hand.
"I feel familiar with this corrupting magic..."
Gianna's apricot eyes widened, and she pointed to Kel'thugad not far away, and said in a trembling voice: "Kelthugad!! Your experiments in the field of magic have really disgraced Dalaran's face. I remember that both Mr. Antonidas, Mr. Crassus, and Mr. Modra warned you that your experiments would bring terrible disasters, but you did not make any progress!"
Gianna's voice was so high in decibels that it could be heard by almost everyone on the battlefield, and Kel'thugad was certainly no exception.
"Miss Gianna Proudmoore, it's been a long time. ”
The necromancer's face was completely covered by black robes, so there was no way to see his expression, but his voice was very cold and hoarse, like an old man who was about to die: "It seems that the little apprentice of that guy Antonidas has grown up completely. But, dear Miss Gianna, it's the opposite, as you can see, I'm much better now!"
"You are as stubborn as your stupid teacher, you will never understand the power I seek!
"You pedantic people are only worthy of serving death, and only I can peek into the value of those spells!!"
As he spoke, Kel'thugad smiled abruptly, and with a wave of his withered fingers, a stream of black-purple energy leaped out of his fingertips, and swerved into a corpse at his feet, and then, with a green glow in the corpse's eyes, he scrambled and crawled up as he roared bitterly.
Seeing his people resurrected as zombies, Gianna's little face turned red with anger, and Arthas was even more furious, and the handle of the golden warhammer was "clucked" by his pinch.
"You... Is this the maker of this plague, necromancer?"
Arthas shouted at Kel'thugad not far away, and in his mind, he was constantly measuring the fighting power of the enemy and the enemy.
Hearing the Prince's words, Kel'thugad turned to face him, his strange eyes flashing in the shadow of his cloak: "That's right, but you're only half right, my lovely prince." It was I who commanded the Cursed to spread the pestilence-infected food, but this supreme glory did not belong to me. ”
Before Arthas could speak, Gianna behind him had already shouted, "What do you mean?"
Smiling slightly mockingly, the necromancer continued, "I owe my allegiance to the Dreadlord Malganis, who will command the Scourge to cleanse the land and establish a land of darkness forever. ”
Want to blame the Dreadlord for all this?
Xue Huan, who has always watched coldly, has a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
Despite being surrounded by blazing flames, Arthas felt a chill rise up his spine. The words of this abominable necromancer have been made abundantly clear, killing all the living in this land is their goal.
"You reptile, what the hell are you talking about?!" Xue Huan raised his sword and pointed it at Kel'thugad, hissing and roaring.
The way he gritted his teeth also made Farral beside him look sideways frequently-I didn't expect that this noble lord, who usually looked polite and gentle, would also show such a "wild" side for the sake of Lordaeron at this moment!
Through the black hood, glancing at the "righteous indignant" Xue Huan, the corners of Kel's mouth hooked up a playful smile: "You poor little nobleman, of course you can't guess the power of the Lord of Darkness. The wheel of fate has already begun to turn, if you want to get more clues, you need to pass me first!"
"Alright, Sir Odrica, we don't need to mess around with this guy, I'll use my strength to make him pay for what he did!" Arthas stopped Xue Huan, who was still about to say something.
He had had enough of Kel'thugad's taunts, and with a low roar, the prince rushed forward with his hammer aloft. And as he charged, the more than three hundred Lordaeron knights behind him also began to move.
The strength of the charge of more than a hundred cavalry can be imagined, in the face of iron hooves, these withered undead even if they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but at this time they also seem a little vulnerable - they waved their arms and surged up like puppets, but then, they were knocked out by the powerful impact carried by the war horses.
Some persistent undead creatures opened their bloody mouths and bit the neck of the war horse, but under the strong inertia, they were dragged by force for more than ten meters, and in the end, only Sen Bai's skull was still hanging on the horse, but his body had been trampled to smithereens.
"Holy Light Unsheathed!!"
Surrounded by the undead, Arthas raised the hammer in his hand and called for the power of the Holy Light, and with the blessing of the golden Holy Light, the warhammer in his hand suddenly burst out with brilliant light of justice.
This level of light was like sunlight melting ice to the undead near him.
He wielded his glittering golden hammer like a whirlwind of death, mercilessly strangling the nearby zombies, and the undead creatures that were touched by the warm light wailed and turned into black ashes.
Farrar and Arthas form the backbone, Gianna uses frost fire magic to ruthlessly bombard clumsy zombies, Faric directs the cavalry to charge, and even Digor takes advantage of the chaos to sneak up on several zombies who have slipped through the net.
And for these "subordinates", Xue Huan, who had a cold expression, did not have any reservations, in order to hide his identity, he brandished his sword, and killed the nearby "enemies" in a very strange way.
Looking at the undead creatures that were about to be slaughtered, Kel'thugad did not panic in the slightest, he smiled, and the tip of the staff he was holding suddenly flashed with a black and purple evil light.
"Dark Rage!!"
Name: Kel'thugad
Race: Undead creatures
Rank: Sixth-Order Necromancer
Kel'thugad, who had secretly studied dark magic in Dalaran, once reached the lord level in strength, but Kenrito's timely discovery made Kelthugad's plan fall short, and Kelthugad, who had defected to the Lich King, got a new body and relied on the comeback of the death knight Xue Huan, who had only one purpose at the moment, that is, to turn Azeroth into a kingdom of death and darkness.
