On the outskirts of Stratholme, Alsace was desperate to discover that the food infected by the plague had been delivered to the city and eaten by most of the population.

According to Alsace and Gianna's research, as long as these foods are eaten, there is no salvation. After a short incubation period, the plague virus will attack, and the infected person will irreversibly become a walking corpse, manipulated by necromancy, and become another cannon fodder for the Scourge Legion.

This also means that soon, the whole of Stratholme, which seems to be rich and peaceful, will become a real ghost town. Almost all of the inhabitants will become undead monsters who have lost their sense of self and are full of hatred for the living.

In the theater where the whole world was showing this movie at this moment, all the audience was in a low mood.

Viewers who don't know anything about the Warcraft franchise also know that this is where the key decision comes in: what to do if the entire city is irreversibly infected?

And those veteran players of Warcraft know better that next, it is time for Arthas to break with his teacher and lover, and with the troops directly under him, enter Stratholme to kill and destroy the entire city.

This was the beginning of Alsace's path to no return.

The plot begins to move forward, and no matter how much people don't want to see it, they still see this quarrel between Uther and Arthas. Arthas was determined to cleanse the city, and ordered Uther to lead the Knights of the Silver Hand on this mission.

But the slaughter of the city, which was also one of the important towns of the kingdom of Lordaeron, was too appalling for such a thing that Uther flatly refused Arthas's order.

"There must be a better way."

"There is no other way, the vast majority of civilians have eaten the contaminated food, and they will soon become undead monsters, our enemies, and we must destroy them all before this happens."

Subsequently, when Uther refused his orders, Arthas, in his capacity as crown prince, announced that Uther had been relieved of his leadership of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and asked the troops to stay and join him in the slaughter of the city.

Uther left angrily, and most of the paladins of the Silver Hand followed him.

Arthas remained cold and determined until Gianna was about to leave, when he stopped her.

"Gianna ......"

"I'm sorry, Arthas, I can't watch you do this......"

Even the lovers are gone, but it still doesn't seem to be able to bring down the young prince.

He led his direct army and entered Stratholme.

The arrival of the prince with his army was welcomed by the populace.

The royal family of Minethir, in the entire kingdom of Lordaeron, still has a very high reputation.

Alsace, however, went on a killing spree.

To be honest, this content is very cautious in our work.

Massacre ...... This kind of thing is too appalling. Even if Wedo Entertainment now has the title of 'China's strongest cultural industry company' on its head, it has also received the attention of the upper leadership, which is relatively tough.

But if they dare to do this kind of picture performance of the slaughter of the city directly in the movie......

That's death.

In China, there are big scissors that force them to either delete or not want to release it; Even in foreign countries, this kind of commercial film with a wide audience is easy to be criticized and become a lever for being attacked.

Moreover, like North America, it is not without film censorship. Their movie classification system is still relatively developed, and Dimension North America has worked very hard to get the PG13 rating through public relations, but this kind of thing is still difficult to change - "Rise of the Lich King" is still classified as R.

In North America, the R rating, which is the so-called restricted rating, is recommended for people over 17 years old.

There are two main points, one is the image of the undead monster and the style of the picture. At this point, it may not be a big problem, after all, it can be dealt with, for example, the image of the undead monster is not so hideous and terrifying; The picture is less bloody or something.

But the second point, which is really deadly, is this massacre.

With such a plot, it is more difficult to get PG13.

In fact, when Dimension Entertainment was making the film, it was very watered down in this regard. However, to shoot the story of Alsace, the massacre of Stratholme, is a plot that cannot be bypassed.

They can only say that in the entire plot of the massacre, the scenes of the massacre of civilians will be reduced as much as possible, without any rendering, and the main picture energy will be focused on the confrontation with the undead.

Of course, it can be done.

It's not easy to kill a living person, but when a living person becomes a dead soul, it's much easier to deal with.

Next, the story of the movie focuses on Arthas and the Dreadlord. 'Massacre' contest between Marganis.

Marganis, who operates in Stratholm, leads his evil men to transform civilians into undead monsters and incorporate them into his own.

On the other side, Arthas leads his army and fights his way through the gates, facing civilians who are constantly turning into monsters.

The film basically does not show Arthas and his army killing civilians, but is fighting monsters that have turned into undead.

This is somewhat of a means of circumvention.

If you don't deal with it like this, it's a difficult thing to release.

In the process of 'purifying' Stratholme, the battle was fierce.

The human army led by Arthas is constantly attacked by the undead forces of Malganis, who are sheltering the civilians who have turned into zombie monsters, and at the same time carrying these mutated walking corpses to launch constant attacks on the human army.

After a series of hard battles, killing many people and many undead monsters, Arthas gradually approached the core of the city.

Here he was, leading the troops, and in a very difficult situation, crushing the undead forces led by Malganis in one fell swoop.

But in the end, the cunning Dreadlord ran away.

He left only one sentence for Arthas: "Come to the north, come to Northrend and find me." ”

Arthas swore to heaven that he would kill this demon with his own hands, even if he had exhausted the ends of the earth.

He ordered his army, set out for the harbor, formed a fleet, and crossed the ocean to the north, forming an expeditionary force, and going to the snow-covered continent of Northrend to hunt down the demon.

……

A heavier picture is the return of Uther and Gianna to Stratholme.

Soldiers, civilians, dealing with the battlefield. One corpse after another, held high; The entire city, which once looked like a rich city, is now in ruins.

Looking at such a tragic scene, no one in the theater said a word.

This scene is too heavy.

Uther's conversation with Gianna also showed his attitude.

He regretted his departure a little, and he felt that he should have stopped Arthas.

And it was not too late, Uther decided to return to Lordaeron immediately, report the matter to King Terenus, and recall Arthas.

……

At this point, the content of the movie has gone through about two-thirds of the way.

In the next scene, it can be seen that Alsace has arrived in Northrend.

On this snow-covered continent, he led his troops, defeated the undead army in his way, established an outpost, and rescued an old friend.

Muradin.

The dwarf Muradin, who was once the martial arts teacher of Arthas, was his elder brother, Magni. Copperbeard was a dwarven king, King of Ironforge. Muradin, who had been ordered by his elder brother to serve as a diplomatic ambassador, was stationed in Lordaeron for a long time. And it was also during this time that he became the martial arts teacher of Prince Arthas, who was still a teenager, and Prince Varian of Stormwind.

And the reason why he appeared here is because according to legend, there is an ancient sword called 'Frost Sorrow', which is said to be buried in this continent of ice and snow.

Dwarves are all natural explorers, among the three Copperbeard brothers, except for the eldest who became a king, he could only be stumped by the responsibility of the throne and had no way to run around, the other two of the Copperbeard family, the second Muradin, and the third Brian, are all serious explorers who like to take a team and wander around all corners of the world.

In the conversation between Muradin and Alsace's old friends, the two talked happily around the campfire in the ice and snow.

After hearing about the crimes committed by the undead against the kingdom of Lordaeron, and thanking Arthas for saving him when he was in the most difficult time, he decided to join Arthas in his fight against these undead monsters.

However, at this moment, an emissary from the kingdom of Lordaeron arrived.

They read out an order from King Terenus calling for the expeditionary force to return home.

Alsace's control over the army came primarily from his status as crown prince. And the power of the crown prince, of course, comes from the king. Now that the king himself has given the order, the army will naturally obey the king's order and begin its return journey.

But the prince, who only thinks about revenge, is unwilling to just leave.

He hired the natives of Northrend as mercenaries, destroying the expeditionary force's fleet and preventing it from returning home; Turning around, he betrayed the natives again, telling his soldiers that they had destroyed their ships and killed them all.

If he did, the soldiers would have to follow him and continue to fight.

But Muradin knew the truth, and he quarreled with Arthas, rebuking him for his treachery.

However, Alsace has made a desperate bet.

Suddenly, outside the human camp, a large number of undead appeared! Marganis is leading a large army of the undead, coming at them!

At this point, there is nothing too good for Muradin.

In order to defeat the endless undead monsters, he can only pin his hope on the legendary ancient sword 'Frost Sorrow'.

Leaving the troops under the command of the lieutenant, Arthas and Muradin left the camp in search of Frostmourn.

Later, they found Frostmourn and eliminated the Guardians beyond the Magic Sword. Muradin read the inscription, told him it was a cursed sword, and immediately prepared to leave. But Arthas didn't care, he walked to the base and took out the sword.

The sword burst out of its ice prison, flying shards piercing Muradin's path like spears.

It was a magic sword, and when Arthas picked up the engraved Frost Sorrow, he abandoned the good part of his soul forever.

Ignoring Muradin, who had fallen to the ground, Arthas left the area and returned to his camp.

At this time, the army of the undead has been pressed up like a mountain and a sea, and the battle line formed by human soldiers seems to collapse at any time.

But when Arthas returns to the camp to join the battle week with Frost Grief in hand, the situation is turned in an instant!

Under this magic sword in his hand, there is no monster that is his enemy.

Whether it's the most fragile skeleton soldier or a hideous ghoul, even the huge Stitch Abomination can be easily eliminated by the power of the magic sword.

His Royal Highness the Prince's application performance boosted the morale of the human soldiers.

They cheered and roared, and together they marched forward in the footsteps of the prince and launched a final general attack.

Marganis was in the midst of the army of the undead, and watched with horror as Arthas drew nearer. He constantly wields the magic of darkness and controls the undead to fight, but he can't stop the avenger in front of him.

Eventually, Arthas came to Malganis.

"Marganis!" Arthas roared and shouted the name of his enemy.

Marganis's typical demonic face was also a hideous roar.

"Pathetic human prince, you are here to die!"

Although his heart is already a little empty, he still refuses to show weakness in words and appearance.

In the face of Arthas's charge, the powerful Dreadlord met him.

Between the two, there is the most exciting confrontation in the whole movie so far.

The Dreadlord is much larger than Prince Arthas. He looked to be about three meters tall, and Arthas could only reach the position of the opponent's chest to the left and right.

But the situation between the two confrontations is the opposite.

The attacks of the Dreadlord will always be blocked by the Holy Light; On the contrary, every slash of 'Frost Sorrow', it was very jealous and did not dare to take it hard.

But it can't get past every sword slash.

In the middle, he tried to use his claws to parry the 'Frost Sorrow', but under the heavy slash, his claws were cut off directly!

The Demon King sinisterly opened his mouth between the screams of pain, and spewed out a dark green evil power.

However, none of this even passed through the 'Frost Sorrow'. The magic sword unleashed power and blocked the evil energy.

As if sensing something shocking him, Malganis shouted, "Damn it! Nao Zu! You traitor......"

Before he could finish speaking, Arthas stabbed Frost Sorrow into its chest!
