Chapter 373 Surprise Attack (5)
The only thing to be thankful for is that the enemy that appears is the Aberrations of the Scourge Factory, not the Celein of the Blood Throne, otherwise... The situation is not so rosy.
Aberrants are things that don't even have a broken soul, not to mention IQ, even talking to them about brains is a kind of lifting.
At the same time, instability and uncontrollability make it difficult to be effectively controlled, so in addition to its own strength, other aspects of the aberrant monster are not to be worried.
The Blood Council is not, Salein is all human spirits, where will the team easily break through the defense? If you can't break through the defenses, the broken tail is just a joke......
……
After breaking through the distorted defenses, the team no longer encountered effective blockades, or... Their speed was so fast that it only took twenty minutes to go from breaking into the fortress to reaching the top of the fortress.
With such a short period of time, there was no time for the undead higher-ups to react, so how could this be dealt with effectively? Even if you want to organize a line of defense, you are often powerless and out of reach!
However, when the team was about to reach the top of the Icecrown Fortress, the Frozen Throne, they met a person, a person who was very surprised, and the location... It was in a cell on the top floor of the fortress.
The identity of this person is no stranger to the surprise attack powerhouses, because he is the commander of the dreadnought expeditionary force - Duke Berval.
It was none other than Ichie who discovered Boval.
As for... Well, in the Icecrown Fortress full of undead, a person's existence should not be too conspicuous, so just by sensing it slightly, Yi Qi noticed the anomaly in this anomaly.
Seeing that the Duke of Bolval was not killed, the surprise attack powerhouses were shocked, even Yiqi was no exception, after all... He had witnessed the outbreak of the plague and the purification of the red dragon, and to be able to survive that blow only showed the tenacity of the Duke's vitality.
However, the tragic situation of Bolval is equally shocking.
Although he survived the battle at the Gate of Damnation, he was still severely burned by the purifying flames of the red dragon, and at this moment he has become unrecognizable, and the reason why people can still recognize his identity is more... It is out of recognition of the aura of the strong......
……
As a strong man of the same period, Fording met Berval when he was young, and when he saw the tragic situation of his old friend, he was naturally furious, and he raised his hand to cut off the chains that bound him.
Feeling the restraint gone, Bolval opened his eyes weakly, but... When he saw Ferdin's face clearly, instead of showing surprise, he showed a deep sense of guilt.
However, his guilty look quickly disappeared, as he crossed Ferdin's shoulder and saw Ichine's face.
"Is that you? How did you end up here......"
Yi Qi had long known that he would be recognized by the other party, so he did not choose to answer, but shook his head gently at Duke Berval.
The Duke of Berval was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent, and despite all the tortures he had suffered, his firm will kept his mind clear.
Therefore, the Duke of Berval not only knew where he was, but also knew very well the meaning of the presence of Ferding and the others - since they had attacked the top of the fortress, there was no reason to retreat.
So, instead of exposing Yiqi's identity... If you disturb the morale of the army, it is better to continue fighting like this......
……
Duke Berval's reaction was all seen by Fortin, so he turned around and asked, "You know each other?" ”
Yi Qi replied with a smile, "When I was in Stormwind City, I was taken care of by the Duke a lot. ”
As he spoke, Yi Qi took out a shining badge from his underwear pocket.
The appearance of the badge made nearly half of the strong people breathe harder, and their eyes showed a look of envy, because the badge itself symbolizes glory, and it is also the life's desire of the strong - the Medal of Honor of Stormwind City.
Perhaps, after the Lich King is completely eradicated, the strong men who participated in the surprise attack will be able to obtain such a badge.
Provided, of course... It is to survive, otherwise the strong who die can only get a memory.
As for... The badge of Iqi is actually a token given to Iqi and others by the Duke of Boval at the beginning of entering Azeroth, so there is no glory at all.
Fording was very indifferent, the glory was already a thing of the past for him, and the reason why he would participate in the Northrend expedition was more... It comes from one's own beliefs.
After glancing at the badge, Fording slowly withdrew his gaze and didn't say anything more, after all, at the moment of crusade, except for the crusade against the Lich King, everything else was only a minutia.
Afterwards, the team had a very brief rest, and the Duke of Berval gave a brief account of his experience while receiving treatment......
……
After the Forsaken turned against the waters, Duke Berval relied on the power of the Light to successfully resist the plague.
It's a pity that resisting the plague has exhausted him, so in the indiscriminate blow of the red dragon's breath, and... He was severely injured in the energy clash between the plague and the flame of life, and then fell unconscious in the violent explosion caused by the energy conflict.
When Boval regained consciousness, he found himself in a cage, and was later taken by Arthas to Icecrown Fortress.
Of course, the fact that he didn't kill the Duke of Boval was not because Arthas was kind enough to keep Boval alive, but because he wanted to transform him into a death knight.
Fortunately, the Duke of Berval relied on his strong and determined will to resist the Lich King's enslavement.
However, Arthas did not give up, but began to torture him in the hope of breaking his will, and then forced Bolvar to submit until the arrival of Fording and the others......
……
There are only five short minutes to recuperate, and it is not so much a break as it is that these five minutes are the time that Fording has left for everyone to adjust their state.
In the description of the Death Knight, one level further up... It's the dormant place of Arthas, the Frozen Throne.
At the same time, the Death Knight will stop there.
Ordinary undead can't resist the Lich King, as long as they are within a certain range of the Lich King, even if they want to resist, they will be forcibly enslaved by him, this... Even the forgotten are no exception.
Only the undead who are strong in their faith and will to a certain extent can be free from forced slavery.
However, whether the undead admit it or not, the Lich King is their creator.
Therefore, being free from slavery is just being free from slavery, and when facing the Lich King, the undead powerhouse will still be greatly suppressed, which has nothing to do with will and strength.
At that time, the strength will not be one in ten.
This... It is one of the reasons why the Knights of the Black Blade did not directly rebel and joined forces with Fordin.
If they really want to appear in front of Arthas, then 90% of the members of the Knights of the Black Blade will be re-enslaved......
