Chapter 429: The Savior Doomed to Bear Sin
The rescued civilians were at a loss, but many were as angry as Arthas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When they learned what had happened, and that Arthas was going to the North Pole to deal with the culprit Marganis, they still resolutely chose to follow Arthas's army. This pleased Alsace, who had not been trained in military affairs, but could not reach it from them to Northrend for a month or two. In such a long time, it is completely possible to train this group of civilians into recruits. More than 3,000 bereaved men and women joined the Alsace team, after all, those women could be used as logistics.
After following Hu Li's advice, the ordinary soldiers also began to collect supplies, and each of them became a logistician, carrying food and grass with them. At the very least, this would greatly reduce the logistical pressure and allow you to carry more things to the continent. After all, by the time they reached Northrend, they were completely cut off from supplies. Now the plague has not spread throughout the continent, so the journey is relatively safe. Under the protection of some of the former militias, the remaining civilians went to the settlements.
However, after this busy time, Arthas appeared unusually irritable. From the time he discovered the Cult of the Damned, Arthas felt that his power was too small. Especially after Andorjar saw that the cute little boy Timmy had also become an undead, Arthas even began to doubt the Light. Because he thinks that the power of the Light is too weak to protect what he wants to protect. Alsace glanced at Ye Qianbi, who was busy not far away, and his heart was also full of self-blame. At that time, when I had not experienced baptism, I was actually saved by this woman. If you were left with yourself at that time, would you be able to survive safely?
Ye Qianbi saw Alsace's eyes, and she walked over: "What's wrong?" What do you think? ”
"It's nothing..."Arthas touched the hair of Ye Clinique's shawl with his hand, and made up his mind. What about your sister Huli? There's something I want to ask him. Arthas saw Ye Qianbi pointing into the distance, and Hu Li was counting the grain and grass not far away. Arthas nodded and gave Ye Qianbi a reassuring look.
"Can we talk? I want to know something about the future. Arthas whispered to Julie.
Hu Li hesitated, but still nodded: "Okay, the prince is here." ”
"First of all, I would like to ask the prince a question. Do you have the consciousness of sacrifice? Sacrifice for all the people of this continent. If I'm not mistaken, you said to yourself in Stratholme that we are only sacrificing a few people in exchange for surviving with many people. Then I ask you, if one day you were to sacrifice the whole of Lordaeron in exchange for the survival of other humans and races on this continent, would you be able to do so? ”
"Is this so serious? Lordaeron has a population of millions, should they all be sacrificed!? ”
"Northrend's undead army is nearly a million, remember what the High Elf mage Arellas Fireleaf said? This is a sign of yet another invasion by the Burning Legion, and not just some ridiculous cursed cult. Do you think Marganis is behind it? Really behind the scenes, countless times stronger than him, is a figure no less than the fallen Titan Sargeras! You are the prince of Lordaeron, and someone wants to control you, because he wants to destroy the entire continent through you. ”
"What, what? Wouldn't we be caught in the net when we went to the North Pole this time? "Alsace suddenly lost faith in his Northern Expedition.
"No, it seems to me that you have to be controlled." Hu Li is definitely not a saint, she is a hero.
"Why?"
"Because once you're controlled, you'll be able to control the undead army. The one who now controls the army behind the scenes in Northrend is just a sealed soul. His spiritual power is extremely strong, but he can't leave the place where he was sealed. And you are the chosen body, and he needs to merge his soul with your body so that he will be free. However, while he is controlling you, you can subconsciously change his commands. ”
"Think about it, what would happen if the nearly a million undead creatures of Northrend attacked the continent of Azeroth together? But if someone can restrain these undead and control the disaster that originally swept the entire continent within a range, then the entire continent will be saved. And you, Arthas is that man, you are the savior! There is only one thing you can do, fight with that psychic soul for control of your body, and suppress the real army of the undead. ”
Arthas was completely stunned: "Oh my God... Are you telling the truth? ”
"Of course, there are two paths ahead of you. First, escape from Lordaeron, the area is bound to fall to the undead within the next year. Second, it was actively controlled by the enemy and saddled with countless infamy. But you can minimize the threat of this undead scourge invasion, and you are a forgotten savior. Hu Li's words do have a lot of basis. Many people may not know that in fact, in World of Warcraft, when the player attacks Icecrown. The main armies controlled by Alsace did not appear. Otherwise, the player will not be able to kill Arthas at all, and the main force of the Scourge will be held in one area by Arthas, and if those armies appear in Azeroth, no one in the Eastern Kingdom will be spared. To put it bluntly, in terms of plot, Blizzard has even prepared the conditions for whitewashing Alsace.
Otherwise, after Arthas's death, Duke Berval Fordagan would not have personally taken the Lich King's helmet to control the undead army. Because everyone knows in their hearts that the main force of the undead must be controlled by someone, originally that person was Arthas, and later became Duke Berval Fortagen. If the undead army is really so easy to be wiped out, why waste such a big thing, this is all Blizzard's backhand. Arthas's death was mainly an explanation for the fallen kingdom of Lordaeron, and he was only a victim of politics. Because Arthas killed too many people when he was controlled again, although it is said that Arthas's initiative later limited the attack of the undead scourge, but he was always going to die.
Note: Arthas's two words before he died, Father, is it all over? Arthas knew in his heart that he had completely laid down his burden at this time. But I'm still a little scared...... He knew what he had done when he was being controlled.
Terenus, my child, no kingship lasts forever. This is definitely not talking about the Demon King, but about the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Terenus said this to tell Arthas that he was not resentful of Lordaeron's demise. When Alsace heard this, he finally took his lunch.
Arthas thought for a long time, and then without speaking to Huley, he walked to the tent himself. Ye Qianbi looked at Alsace's expression at the door of the tent, and just wanted to say something, Alsace shook his head at Ye Qianbi: "Don't say it, I know." This matter is already clear to me, and I should not run away from it. Without you, I would have made even greater sacrifices. But if fate is the case, I can only face it. ”
Ye Qianbi looked at Arthas's eyes firmly, sighed and said, "I will help you get free, and I will definitely help you defeat the Lich King in the future." It should be difficult for us to defeat the Lich King now, but my sister told me that the Lich King has a period of weakness. At that time, I will definitely free you from this cage, and then we will be together forever. Ye Qianbi touched Alsace's handsome face. The relationship between the two has warmed up rapidly since then, but they have never taken the last step. Because Arthas knows psychologically that he can't harm this woman for the rest of his life.
Afterwards, led by Admiral Barry Westwin of the Silver Hand, the group arrived in Northrend. (To be continued.) )
